Up next is the appointment of a delegate an alternate delegate delegate to the 2027 WASB delegate assembly
Point of order
The
Point of order is these appointments are made by the newly elected CD president since we do not have a CD president city president
We cannot move any farther in this discussion
Appointments for the delegate or the alternate delegate or the appointment of the TIFF
Tax increment finance district the appointment of the representative for three years with cease a nine
So letters h i and j would have to be reserved until the ninth board member is brought on and we have the president he liked it
Thank you
Item k consideration of designation of official publication
I move the board designate the anago times as the official publication of the unified school district of anago
at
This time it's open for discussion
I don't have anything else to add except for the appointment of the anago times
Anyone else I think we had the anago daily journal before i'm just curious why the switch
Uh
Just the motion that I made was for the anago times
So that's what the motion is on the floor and that's what we have to wrap our discussion around
Is there any discussion on the anago times is the official publication
Of memory I thought in the past there was discussion about
Anago times
I thought they weren't able to be an official publication
Might just anybody remember that or remember a discussion about the qualifications or
Who could be the official publication?
So I think that diana reached out to them and they informed us that they are able to be the official publication for the district
In the past they
My memory serves that they did not have the personnel to do it at the time so that may have changed
Okay, but that's why it wasn't
I
Think the anago times is a that's a good resource because it's a free paper. It goes out to
I don't know how many number of homes throughout the county
A lot of some people may not get the anago daily journal because they don't subscribe to it either online or
By having to deliver to their mailbox
So that was my thought of the anago times and in the past whenever we did ask about the anago times
Of course, and I think you're right because they didn't have the staff to be able to do that
And apparently now they do have the staff in order to accommodate
The school using them for their official publication
Okay, at this time you need to pick up your voting devices
And the the vote is for the anago times to be the publication for the unified school district of anago
So
Okay
Would anyone like to change their vote
Okay, the voting is now closed
Okay
So
Okay, so the motion fails and we move on
So the next item is consideration of designation of official depositries
I move the board adopt the following list as the official depositors for the unified school district of anago
Bank of wisconsin bmo here is bank co-vantage credit union associated bank jp morgan chase bank pacico bank
That american administrative and retirement solutions ink pma financial networking
Wisconsin investment series cooperative wisconsin local government's investment pool
Is there any discussion
Would you like to speak to your motion jean no, thank you
Now is there any discussion of them of jean's motion
No, none hearing none pick up your voting devices nathan are you ready
Okay cast your ballot, please
Put anyone like to change their vote
Voting is closed and it motion passes
Um, next is the consideration of designation of a day place and time for regular committee meetings
I move the board to approve the following schedule for committee meetings beginning july 1
2026 all committee meetings will meet on the second monday of every month
Being held in the anago high school's media tech room 210-4
Times are as follows human resources and finance committee at 430 p.m
Building in grounds not to begin before 5 p.m. curriculum instruction pupil services special education
Technology and human growth and development committees not to begin before 5 30 p.m
And the policy committee will meet as needed
Would you like to speak to your motion
That motion is just upholding the same committee schedule that we have had for several years within the district
I
Just like to state since committees are not currently appointed
I am not able to get here any earlier than 5 30 p.m. So I would have to be on that
the curriculum instruction people services, etc committee
Anyone else
With the construction going on at the high school aren't these first meetings this some are going to be moved to another location
Yep, that's a good question. They'll be moved to the middle school to the IMC
Okay, if nothing further
Nathan are you ready for a vote? Okay, please
Mark your vote
Okay
Would anyone like to change your vote
Okay, Nathan
Okay motion passes
Okay
Up next is consideration of designation of a day place and time for regular board meetings
I move the board to approve the third Monday of each month 6 15 p.m
At the antigo high school media tech room as the day place and time for regular board meetings beginning july 1
2026 with the exception of those months that the high school is closed then we will meet at the middle school
IMC
Would you like to speak to your motion?
Once again like the committees just keeping our same
meeting schedule
and to clean up the the note that Mike caught on the last
motion for the month of
July and august whenever in june when the high school is closed up. So we will meet at the middle school
Okay
Thank you, anyone else
I'm just going to note that
With the high school being closed up that is due to the successful passing of the referendum for the building needs
So just to ensure that I mean we are all being very transparent
That is why the building will be closed. Yes. Thank you
Okay
Yeah, nothing else
Nathan is the voting ready. Okay
So
All right, would anyone like to change the ballot or their vote
Okay, Nathan can you show us the results, please? Okay motion passes
Okay, um next is the approval of authorization of electronic signatures

The person at the microphone will be allotted there five minutes to speak and we move to the next person who has signed up to speak
And our first person up to speak is Tom Koss on donations
Good evening everybody. Is there a switch?
It's on
I'm just too short to reach it
Yep, got it. You can hear me anyway
Okay, good. Thank you
Whether you can hear me, I'm uh, yeah, okay
Okay, so I'm here because starting on
December 4th a
Person in the community came to the school foundation an organization
I am president of the board of that's been in place since year 2000
The job of the foundation is to funnel private donations to the school district to help with education and
goals of the district in the community
These things changed a little bit on march 18th where a special board meeting was held to
uh
Take control by the board of the governance of the aquatic center
The second motion, which is really applicable to us
The main motion of the meeting was to approve the funding
This is for the clara r mechanic aquatic center. The foundation has money in hand
And we have more coming in so we just want to get you the background
The main motion was to approve the funding at the direction of legal counsel
Only fund 80 will be used for the operations and maintenance of the aquatic center and all other funds be utilized in a matter
Manner consistent with the law
It directs administration to work with legal counsel to develop a plan of action for the continued operation and maintenance of the aquatic center
So that was march 18th
um
A task force was formed at the march 23rd meeting
And I was one of the members and we met on
April 13th and on april 21st
And on our meeting on the 21st. We were given a list of something called the aquatic center financial executive summary
And it pointed out that there are critical deferred maintenance
Needs
The slide front door hvac controls bathroom partitions tile repair
Etc totaling a cost of $127,000
That's really what our donor was trying to
Provide money to take care from the beginning and we now have
123,000 plus sitting in the
Separate account at the foundation aimed to make those repairs. So we just wanted to let you know that's there
Um, we have
Been working to try to come up with a budget that will work for the aquatic center
We've seen three different sets of numbers
From the district, but we're confident that something can be worked out. We did have
The YMCA personnel and sarah rep go through the budget. We were given and really get vendor quotes
Get numbers that are real and um, we've come up with a budget
We think will work
at the april 20th board meeting. I did hand out a
Statement of intent from the foundation to the board
Explaining how we will donate money to cover and you'll deficit
Um, these basic repairs were first on our list to keep the things safe
And then we would put together
Additional funds it's looking like we will have
Two million dollars all together more than a million should sit at the foundation and be there for future needs
but today we have that
123 we have a commitment from two other families for another 150,000 and we haven't these people approached me
I did not approach anyone. So it's just coming from the community
I am getting
I don't know why they're picking on me, but I am getting contacts from the news reporters wondering, okay
What's going on? We know you guys are working on it, but I've just said it's it's there's no final
Decisions on anything, but at least we know they're interested and the community seems to be interested
so
um
I think that's really what I want to tell you is that we have the money sitting in the account to cover those repairs
Would seem a matter of safety and we have more money on its way and I do have
Copies for every one of the same thing I gave some of you members were here on the
20th of april, but if anyone wasn't and wants to see our commitment, I'd be happy to hand it to you
Can I give that that's it then i'm done if I just give that to anybody
I
Thank you. Thank you, mr. Cross
Up next we have jennifer bane wanting to speak on financial reports
Welcome to the board members
Thank you for being here
I have been listening to all the meetings since the pool issues have been brought forward
And I'm obviously the pool is what got me concerned to start watching the meetings and its status
But since then I've had some other concerns as well
When I sit in the audience and hear all this talk about finding teachers who choose to cut their contract early
I am alarmed
I hear how financially it really puts a district in a pickle because it's hard to replace a staff member in the middle of the year
And I have no doubt that that is a fact
But I hear the board bickering over raising the fine to $7,500 and I hear christen states
That there are you know when there are extenuating circumstances that that fee can be waived
So what I interpret that is as a punishment
A punishment for feeling that when you do not feel valued loved or supported and you feel forced to leave your post in the middle of
The year
That your work environment is so toxic that you feel it's the only option because no teachers want to leave in the middle of a year
Because if it was for another reason like illness it would be dismissed
This makes our teachers feel like they are an even more of a predicament if they stay here
Anyone who was already on the fence about next school year is going to take this as a sign that they need to get out now
But there's a huge piece of this puzzle that no one's talking about
I think the community needs to be aware and if you as the board are not aware or are already aware that you need to be reminded of it
All of my information has come directly from sources or from the dpi website
The information I received from the dpi website is from last school year
And I don't doubt that these numbers are higher than what i'm actually reporting here
For each student who attends the unified school district of anigo
You receive ten thousand one hundred and two dollars for a regular ed child
And fourteen thousand four hundred and fifty four dollars for a child that has special needs or an ip
But on the flip side of that for each child that you have in your district boundaries who's getting an education elsewhere
You are losing that same amount of money
So let's talk about those numbers
First there are the private school students. You have 215 attending all saints
192 attending peace lutheran and 47 attending shepherds watch in matoon
That is four hundred and fifty four kids attending a private school
Then you have what I like to call straight up homeschooling. That's what I do for my oldest child
This is a child who's registered with the dpi as a privately educated student. They're not associated with virtual schools
Last year's data puts the number for our district at 195 students
We are in the top 10 percent of the state for the number of homeschool students
Then there are virtual schools
Now this is where it gets a little more confusing because schools like the rva are a consortium district
You do get some money for these students, but then you have to pay some money out
I don't know exactly, you know what that means or like where it's at
So i'm not going to include the rva kids in my final numbers, but just know that there are
according to last year's
Reporting's 138 students attending the rva which is still some money that you are losing
Annigo has the number one spot for the number of students in the rva
Even over medford, which is where it's located from that is eye-opening
There are other private online schools such as aoe the academy of excellence on Milwaukee
The aoe has 43 of your students this year
Then there are open enrolled kids kids who live here in this district
But their parents have chosen for them to be schooled at another public school
To me, this is your biggest loss on a personal level
These kids are still getting a public school education, but not here
The good news is that you have attracted 43 students who have open enrolled here from other districts
The bad news is you've lost 226 students
226 kids are publicly schooled and going to other districts
So let's add up what I have
This is not all inclusive. I probably missed a few online schools or other things, but we are at 118 students
Let's pretend every one of them is a regular ed kid, which we know they're not at least some of them have IEPs
918 not including rva kids times 10102 is 9,273,636
9.2 million dollars that are being hemorrhaged to other districts or at least not into yours
I see your vision statement your priorities and order list cultivating talent in investing in our people as the last priority
This needs to be the first priority until you start recruiting good teachers and filling the positions
You have open you are going to continue to lose students
Which means a loss in funding a lot of loss in funding
And it's not fair to expect the few teachers left to carry the weight of all the ones that have left
Your first priority was student achievement and success
I love that, but how can you have student achievement and success without good teachers and a teacher in every hole that's been created?
You can't
I
Thank you miss bank
Okay up next we have the consent agenda
I
I'll be looking for a motion for the approval of the consent agenda items
I move the board approve the agenda minutes from the april 20th 2026 board of education meeting
may cbt committee meeting minutes district retirement and resignations report
Report of district new hires financial reports for april and may 2026 consideration of current bills checks number nine
692 to 9 749 in the mountain of
540,991 dollars and 99 cents
ACHs numbers 25 to 6 0 1 2 5 3 through
252 6 0 1 3 7 6 in the amount of 750,000 708 dollars and 11 cents
And wire trap wire transfers in the amount of
21,820 dollars and 39 cents for a total of 1,313,520 dollars and 49 cents
Would you like to speak to your motion?
Just as always I'm sad to see
Such great teachers go and I appreciate the time that they spent here
Any further questions or comments?
I'm curious if it can be shared out or if there's knowledge of
those that
have resigned if any are relocating out of anago and or leaving education
Yes, so let me count and hopefully I don't miss anyone so there's
There
There are five that are moving they're relocating out of anago
There are two of the staff members who are leaving education
Um
Three or four who have accepted positions in a different district
Thank you, you're welcome
I
Typically have the question in junior july as to where we are with staffing because there are
There are eight new hires on the new hire list
What is the status do you know on the staffing how many more teachers do we need or other positions
I know we have three offers that are out and we have
A few more interviews scheduled for this week yet
So yeah, we're hoping that those three better out will be
Yes, as they'll be accepted as well and then the majority will be just filling
We have a special ed position at
the elementary the middle school in the high school and
Then I think the majority of the remaining positions are elementary classroom positions
Thank you
I would also like to comment on the new hires and years of experience
10 years of experience eight years of experience 10 years of experience five years of experience
So that's exceptional that we are also
getting applicants and hiring
staff who have
several years of experience
Yes, I agree
And some are coming from out of state as well
So they're new to Wisconsin
I noticed that as well. Um, you missed one seven years. I thought so. Thank you. Um, but also the number of applicants for
Some of those positions as many as 35 applicants and so
Agree
Well, I have to say that I'm super excited that there's a Spanish teacher on this list
As our way
I
Further conversation
Questions, okay hearing none
Your voting devices are now open
You
Stop looking at me
You must have that one that doesn't work right
Yeah, it went with anyone like to change their vote
She's gone. Okay, would anyone like to change their vote
Okay, hearing none, Nathan
Okay, emotions passes and passes
It's impossible to dim the lights here a little bit so I can see the screen
Well
Are you against that?
There's a there's a glare on it
Is it easier if we switch maybe closer to the screen? I don't know if it's lighting
And then you'll be over here. That's okay
Go on
It's up to you. I'll stay here, but thank you. Maybe I'll try a different spot next time
Maybe yeah, it looks darker
Okay, item number five administration reports
Number letter a director of business services. Mrs. Fosbinder is present if anyone has questions about her report
Hearing none, we'll move on to item B director buildings and grounds. Mr. Leiterman is present if anyone has questions
I do have a question
What is the current status of the maintenance issues at the aquatic center?
I can speak to that
So when we had our attorney involved and then the attorney representing
The foundation it's kind of been left in the hands of the two attorneys to figure things out
So we haven't been able to do anything other than the YMCA was overseeing the repairs for the
Door to the aquatic center and other than that we're kind of in limbo
So that door was repaired
So I would say I do not have that. I know that that was
The next item to be worked on and they had um quotes and they were supposed to be overseeing that repair
Thank you. Mm-hmm. You're welcome
Okay, up next we have director of curriculum and instruction and mr. Srem will get us started with our data monitoring reports from
our wonderful building principles
Good evening. So it's an exciting night
Um, not only for the director of curriculum role, but for all of our principals as well because we get to show the community and our school board
and our school new school board members
how we
Conduct kind of our spring data review
Um, you'll hear from some buildings some buildings are still finishing up
But we have the data in front of you as well as it'll be on the screen and it's on the topic summary sheet sheet as well
Just as an overview to kind of make sure everyone's on the same page as we have some new people and maybe some people tuning in
For the first time from the community is this is the very first year that we have completed aims web testing
For the whole district 4k through 12th grade if you were here last year
You would remember we did part aims web part fast bridge
We changed to all aims web as the act 20 literacy law came into effect
And so all of our students will take the aims web benchmark screeners in literacy and mathematics
So what that means is we take a screener a benchmark screener in fall
We look at that data as a team as teachers as admin at myself my reading specialist
We make our groups meaning is this student and as bands is the student enrichment?
Is this student in need of an intervention?
We really drill down to every student and then we benchmark them again in winter usually in january
December and january to see where we have made progress through the first part of the school year
We then realign our decisions and our instructional decisions based on that data
And then we move into spring. So we just completed our spring aims web data
The high school will talk about they're still finishing up some of their students
So their data is a little bit incomplete right now because this school board meeting came quicker
Then we could finish that data, but we'll get that data to you
But I want to remind people that that act 20 law
Has to be there's some requirements around it based on the testing cycle. So you'll hear mr. fear and mr. wannager speak about this
We have certain dates based on the start of the school year and the end of the school year that we need to complete that testing for
For grades four k through third grade to make sure we're in compliance with act 20
So when they're talking about their data, they actually did some of their data in march
Because it has to be 45 days from the last day of our school year calendar on the calendar
So that pushed them back to march, which we know we had two months still to do learning and to do instruction
Um, so I'll let them speak on what they did in may to help you guys in the community and also our educators
Really know where our students ended at the end of the school year now in may of 2026
So they're going to be discussing with you the data from their schools
For the spring they'll connect it to their winter data to show growth
And then they have plans and an action plan of maybe where we were had shortcomings of things
We could have done better and where we did things that were great and where we are going to progress into the next school year
Are there any questions around that aims web data before I let the principals do their do their job
Before everyone gets started, you may want to go through your packets and turn to the section that says spring data
So we'll start with the high school. So you're going to want to flip from fall
to winter to spring at the end
And i'll invite miss bournaman and mr. moronk up to speak through their data. Yes, sir. Yep
So
With this data, then what do we do once we have it now that we have it like what's the road map of what do we do?
Yeah, so in fall when we have the first screener they take every student takes it
We look at that data and then we make our intervention groups our title groups or our enrichment groups
We call them win groups as well what I need
So every student is really getting what they need we drill down to every student based on what maybe deficit
They're having so if i'm a student in first grade third grade and i'm still struggling with decoding words
Then my intervention will be decoding words because i'm getting core in the classroom. I'm getting what everyone gets in first grade
But I need a little bit more because i'm still struggling with some of my decoding skills
So I would be in an intervention for decoding
If I was a student in first grade and my decoding looks great my phonemic awareness, which means how I hear sounds and how I pronounce words
My encoding how I write is really good
Then maybe my win group is an enrichment group where my teacher is taking me to another level with writing and reading
Past what maybe my you know peers might be doing so we do that every
Like three times a year with our data and we drill down for every student
Um, we have really extensive meetings a lot of spreadsheets drilling down to what exactly every student needs
So now in spring as we have that spring data
We look back and see what trends do we see an instructional practice this what we that we did that worked really well that we want to continue
Into next year and then we also see things of like okay. We still have some students who are lacking
They are going to start right there in fall. We're not going to waste any time with them
We already know where their data end. We know a little summer slide here and there
But we can start day one with our students in an intervention group if needed to get the road running into into their next school year
So we really use this data a lot. The testing is not that much. I know some people think oh we test our kids so much
It's in the middle school. It's like a 20-minute comprehension test. They do a little vocab test
We have some fluency. So it doesn't take a super long time to do so our students aren't sitting there for a long time
But it is really useful data for us because I always talk to the principals. We don't hope and wish our kids pass
We have data to prove if they are passing if they are not what do we need to do about it?
So we don't get to the end of the year and hope hope we do well, right?
You don't walk into a football game and like wish you made it to the Super Bowl. You have practice
You have you know plays you have adjusted those plays you had make switches you had changed things
That's what we do in education all the way to the end, which is currently right now
We're going to have some areas of growth that they're going to talk about that we need to do better on
We have that every year. We close those gaps moving into next year and we have some celebrations as well
Um welcome miss Schreiber right in time for the data
Um, but we use this data on a daily basis and our teachers do as well
They're very cognizant of where every student is in their class how they need to adjust to make sure they're hitting grade level standards and above
So then um
The assistance that the students get then to get them to the next point is that on the current teachers
To work with them on that or do instructional coaches get involved like how does that support the teachers in the classroom?
So my answer is both in all okay, so yes, so when we look at our data
We look at it from the school lens right the principals will look at that school lens
Where are we on a school lens? We break it down by grade level
We break down by classroom and then we break it down even farther to that individual student
So we really make sure that all of our students are like I said getting what they need
It is not fully on the classroom teacher, but we do make adjustments
So when you hear them talk that might say universal instruction universal is what every student should have in their grade level
Universal is all students get core after grade level high standard work
Some of our students get core and more they might get core and an intervention because they're still working on some skill deficit
But sometimes our title teachers take those students and work individually and maybe in a group of three
We have our classroom teachers who may take a small group during wind time
Wind time is during the day where it's a set-aside time where every student moves and goes to what they need
The wind time at the high school is the last hour of the day
So we really make sure that every student is getting exactly what they need whether it's an intervention or an enrichment if they're already above grade level
But it's not solely on the classroom teacher
But it is on the classroom teacher to make adjustments to what they're doing in that universal because if I have
If I don't have 80 percent of my students passing as a classroom teacher, that's tier one
Like I should that when I instruct as a teacher. I should have at least 80 percent passing the very first time I teach
If I'm using strong instructional practices
If I have that 20 percent, I need more for that's where that core and more comes from
But if I'm an instructing and I only have
15 percent of my kids passing
I as the classroom teacher need to change something in my instruction and that's where instructional coaches come in as well
They'll come into our classroom. They'll provide feedback. They might give suggestions around instructional
Activities and things that our teachers are can tweak our teachers have been wonderful about that
We're all about feedback and changing things that we need to do
But we work collaboratively as a team with title teachers our instructional aids take groups
They've been trained in a lot of our resources that we use the classroom teacher classroom teachers
They'll share if mr. Piot and I taught together
I might take some of his students who match some of my students data and he might take some of mine and we teach during that time
Um to what those kids need, but I want to make sure everyone's aware that all kids get their core
They get that grade level standard. That's an expectation because if we're not teaching to the grade level
We will consistently create that keep that gap. They will always be behind
Even if I'm a eighth grader reading like a second grader
I still need to be exposed to eighth grade content. I might not be able to decode it all myself because I'm still struggling
That's where my intervention comes in. But if I'm never exposed to eighth grade work come ninth grade
I'm still sitting at second grade come 10th grade. I'm still sitting at second grade
I have to be exposed to grade level content and also get the intervention if I am deficit in some of those skills
Okay
Can I ask another question? So do we are we projected to have enough staff to support any in our team?
That like are we on track for hiring people to skip them adequate support for that?
We're yeah, we're fully staffed instructional coaching. We could always add more. I shouldn't say I should say I would love more
So if they're out there, um, and we had the financial aspect to do it
But I instructional coaching is a really powerful way to move the needle on data and support our teachers
Um, so we're fully staffed there right now. Um, we have openings, but that's just in case we get a really good qualified person
And miss fastbinder finds
financial support somewhere
But we have all of our title teachers
So all that kind of like support our reading specialist does a lot of work in that as well. Our high school has been wonderful
We have teachers who maybe teach one content area
Um, like a mr. Churchill
Wonderful amazing teacher. He doesn't during when he does a reading group
He teaches decoding and he does it and he does a fabulous job. So even though i'm teaching, you know in the cte realm
I also take um during wind time when I split students and we try to make sure we're hitting everyone's gap
He's grabbing kids and doing an intervention and had really great data
By the way on his intervention, we were super excited when we looked through that. So shout out to mr. Churchill
Okay
So definitely a team effort no one can do education alone
If somebody thinks they can teach alone and that's it your kids always go to the next grade level
You're always connected with people and that's when I think when you see this data and some of the work that's been done
To move it. It's because of the teamwork from admin all the way to every person in that building
Okay, and if you have questions at the end, I definitely can't answer that the principals can answer that as well
So we're going to move to the high school principals
Hi
Um, okay
So kind of like my sus stream talked about the classroom teachers take on a lot of the bulk of that but in high school
All of your teachers are specific to a content area, right?
So it's not solely up to our ela team or our math team to be able to move everybody
We use everybody in the district or everybody in the building
And this is the first time that we've had a true intervention system set up at the high school where everybody was involved and everybody was in something
So if you're a ninth and tenth grader and you're at grade level or above you're doing study skills
And we pushed out a curriculum for that
If you are an 11th grader and you're at grade level or above you were doing ACT prep
Which our 11th graders made a lot of progress in their ACT and we'll talk about that in a minute
Um, and if you're a twelfth grader, you're working at your senior portfolio
Which we got some really great feedback this year and we gave them time within their day to work on their senior portfolio
So we're hoping to complete that kind of a system again next year
So there's options for everybody and maybe improve our enrichment options depending on what staff we have
Available for interventions or whatnot
So our staff went through some pretty intense training at the beginning of the school year to be able to run different interventions
For example, like mr. Church Hill who is typically in autos right and now he's doing an intervention and he was game for it
There were several other people who were doing something out of their content area
But they were really game for it. They made a lot of progress with kids
So I know that mr. Church room had shared with you that we moved 74 students
Out of interventions this year. Um, and so when we looked at the data that you're going to see on the screen
We dug a little deeper because it wasn't making sense. So I'm going to start talking about our data
Um, so our aims web for eLA is made up of several tests. So we have the reading comprehension test up there
And when we looked at that score, we thought huh that doesn't really match what we saw in winter that doesn't match what we're seeing in progress monitoring
So we looked then we went to vocabulary. It looks a little bit better
Also not matching what we saw in progress monitoring. Also not matching what we saw in winter
And so then we we went to their individual scores for the students and we noticed that
It's not all of our students completed all of their testing and some of our students had really high scores in all areas
Except for reading comprehension
And so we talked to a couple of students and some of the answers not all but some of the answers where that part was really hard
Yeah, it was really hard because we're at the end of the year and you guys have been doing a really good job
So
When you look at the reading composite that you see in front of you
We pulled out the students who did not have scores that made sense
So like if you had two or three really high scores and then one that was at the bottom
We pulled them out so that we could retest them. So when the stats stream talks about how our data is in progress
I wanted to be able to show you accurately what our students were doing
Instead of
What we had because it didn't make sense. It'd be different if we could say oh, yep, this student scored really
Average for all three scores. That's a score that makes sense
But when you have somebody who's taken
Two or three tests and scored in the highest and then they have one test that is very close to the bottom. That score doesn't make sense
We also had 33 students who didn't complete all of their tests due to
sports
AP testing sickness finals other competitions. So they are still testing
So that's kind of what that looks like. So when we look at our scores with the students have completed all of their testing
That's what our progress looks like. I'm hoping to come back in June with with everything for you
And I apologize that it wasn't
Accurate this time I could have shared the data that we have
But I just didn't feel like it was an accurate portrayer of our students and all of the hard work
They've put in especially when we look at our interventions
And we've moved so many of them out and we have that progress monitoring data to show that
But like that's a scheduled test that's done each Thursday or Friday of the week
To be able to say this student has made so much progress
So we really tried to make sure our data made sense before we brought it completely to you
Yeah
And the fall and the spring is a time test and many students
We'll show proficiency and the comprehension and the vocabulary didn't do well
So if I scored a 74 which is in the blue which is extremely high
And then a 57 which is in the green which is extremely high as well, but then I scored a five
It'll drop me all the way to below
below
Efficiency excuse me and in the winter we had the time to pull those kids out and retest them or give them the orph
Which is a oral reading test and they scored they scored where they should have extremely high
And so that's why you see some of our scores
Have dipped as well
We just had a time to do that and retest those students and we'll touch base and a little bit more
Later on here in the presentation
So is there any questions around there before they go on because I want to make sure that that's
And we want to be really transparent with you. I'm we're not trying to hide anything
Oh, you're essentially wanting to ensure that each and every student has accurate data
So that way you can assess where they're at academically and put them in the right
Groups of students to ensure that we are continuing to promote academic achievement in progress
So that makes some sense and I has one board member appreciate that. Thank you
Also when mom and dad get those reports
I want them to see what their student can actually do right because they do get individual reports for their students
And I don't want them to see something that's not accurate
Okay, so if you scroll down to our math our math
Those are the numbers that we're going to have so our math goals our math went down a little bit in ninth grade
It went up a little bit in tenth grade. Yes, it's still a negative number. Well, we're at negative eight
Our eleventh graders went up
They are point one or they are one percent up and our total we dipped five percent has a building
Our focus was definitely on ela this year, but that's where our math was we did definitely have math interventions happening
um
Across the building for the first time
Which is the highest that our
Make sure that's here
They're very hard of themselves. They're very good at their jobs
Uh, so I just want to make sure when you're looking at
1% not passing that's a lot of kids passing
Percent focusing in on interventions
Those are very positive scores even though we can see the right in the negative
Uh, we always want to be a hundred percent
So if we scroll down a little bit, it shows you um for literacy in the top the the three scores
Right there. Sorry, sir
It shows you the three times that they've tested what students scored below grade level. Um, and so we are
14.5 percent above that right now because at the beginning of the year
46.5 percent of our students scored below grade level and now we're at 32 percent of our students scoring below grade level
So that really shows the hard work that was put into our ela this year. Um, our staff worked really hard
And I want to make sure that's clear. They worked really hard to move everybody
Um has for math we see it moving in a little bit in the opposite direction
Um 7.6 percent of our students scored below grade level at the beginning of the year
And now 23 percent of our students scored below grade level. So we're at 15.4
Um, we'll talk about some reasons why we think that may have happened and things that we want to look at for next year
Um at the end
We're going to shift to some of our ACT data, and I'm not sure if you've heard this
What's happening right now
In the state of wisconsin, um, I don't know if it's bigger than the state of wisconsin
But I do have the email from ACT just to be really transparent. I have a copy for all of you
So
Um, so last wednesday, so I had a ton of ACT data in here and I can tell you that we went up or stayed the same
We went up in
I think five categories stayed the same and one and went down in one
However
Last wednesday after looking at all of our data and reviewing it
We got an email from ACT stating that due to their new scoring that they rolled out this year
Um, they have realized that there was an issue with some of the students who took our tests and their scores
So has part of their continuous evaluation of scores
They've discovered the need to reissue scores for students who took the test online this spring during the school testing day
This need relates to an update to the process to ensure all tests are scored fairly and accurately
Regardless of when and how a student was tested
They'll be communicating with us again when the scores are uploaded. They said june second has a date and I think it's in that letter from them
Um, so I'm hoping that that's true
We don't know which students that they have are they are going to reascore
We don't know how much that will affect our score
They do say in here that our scores will not go down. They will stay the same or go up
So that's where it's at. That was a pretty big hit for our 11th graders who've been in ACT prep all year, right?
And now i've got this score and some of them they already
selected they've already signed up to retake it now they're paying out of pocket for it
So it was it was hard for our kids to take that
Um
We did send this out on thursday. We got this
I saw it after school on wednesday. I don't remember what time the email came in. I sure it says it on there
Um, but we sent it on thursday as the family is and to students and unfortunately, I just don't have any more information at this time
Um, but i'm hoping that ACT sticks to the june second date
Yes, so when my son score goes way up if i'm going to get it in
The mail to or do I see have to look at the first
I don't know that
We are going to send it out whenever we find out how they're doing the scores and if they're mailing them out again or not
Um, this is all the communication that we have from them
So yeah, it's not great. I'm not gonna. I mean, there's no way to sugarcoat it and it's not our just our kids. It's
A lot of districts within the state
Yeah
So one of the things that we can tell you about is that the ACT changed the way that they are scoring the tests this year
Um, so depth of knowledge questions is something we talk a lot about in education and how deep a question is asking a student's critical thinking skills
The ACT has removed all level one and level two questions and now they're moving on to only three and four questions
So an example of a dok level one question is something like what is the main idea of the passage
And so questions like that have been removed from the ACT an example of a dok three question is how does an author use youth use of evidence
Throughout the passage strengthen the overall argument use specific examples from the text to support your answer
so they went from
What is the main idea of the passage to the second question that I read and we were not aware of that change
Um, I don't think anybody was had that much notice about those changes
So that's something that we're going to change our ACT prep for for next year because dok three and four questions are much harder than dok one and two questions
Um
The other thing that ACT changed this year was how they scored the test
In the past and I don't know if this calculation is exact and working with the information that I have
They scored it on English math reading and science equally so 25ish each
Um, and now they are no longer scoring science, which is one of the categories that we score the highest in
Um, and I wonder if the re scoring everything now is like 33.3 percent
um
I'm wondering if that has something to do with the recalculating of the scores. I don't know that
Um, but they're only scoring English math and reading now
um
So any questions about ACT
Okay
So our teachers this year had their SLO has a building and
Our goal was to buy the spring benchmark in may have at least 65 percent of our students performing at or above
Benchmark in reading and math has measured by aims web
The building wide goal was to show that 100 percent of our students show growth from their pre ACT to their ACT scores
And that at least 50 percent of students meet or exceed the ACT collegeness readiness benchmarks in two tested areas
We had all three listed
So some of the data that it was able to pull before
everything kind of got jumbled
was that
19 percent of our students met or exceeded the ACT college readiness benchmarks in three or more tested areas
But that number is going to change. So I it's in here and I'm trying not to be confusing
I apologize. Maybe I should have taken it out. Um, that number will probably change and be different in june
um
Our literacy performance improved in all areas across benchmarks with a percentage of students
both scoring below grade level decreasing
Um
From 46.5 in the fall to 32 percent in the spring
So that's what our staff had to look look at and be proud of
um
The anago high school school staff remained committed to continuous improvement and data driven instruction throughout the school year
The benchmark data showed positive gains and reading achievement
Well, the ACT results remain stable over the slight improvements in the ela and reading performance
So that was using the data that we had left week. Um
I'm assuming it will be even better. I'm hoping that it will be even better and that they stick to that it won't go down
um
So some of the things that we have talked about the contributing factors for falling short
Is that this is our first year using aims webs and truly rolling out interventions
And we need to strengthen our systems and make sure all of our teachers
Um, feel really strong in what they're doing
We need better use of dok3 and four questions in the classrooms in all content areas
We need strategies for all content areas to use when students are reading text and critically thinking about it
This includes reading passages within resources instead of standalone novels or passages to make sure that the standards are being taught
Um and then student attendance and motivation some of the things that we hear especially when it comes to aims webs testing is
It's the end of the year. That was hard. So we have ways to motivate them
Um do the rest of the year, but the end of the year gets a little tricky because it's not until fall then right?
So what can we do? We need to brainstorm a little bit about that. What kind of an incentive might be tied to that
We also started talking about can we put up an ACT achievement board?
Um, and we also as a gnc conference have been talking about an ACT banner to the school with the highest overall average
Or something like that rolling out next year. So we have all of these competitions or boards or celebrations for sports
And what can we do to maybe do for some of our test scores?
Yeah, sorry
Three and four
We've done a lot of that work with solution tree and we've dug into it. We really haven't dug into it
So we've talked about it
We look at things but we want to be more intentional when we look at those dok3 and fours. And so I just want we meet
weekly
Once a week every every every week and sometimes two times a week to talk about those things
So we just want to be more intentional with those those levels as well
Mrs. ornament talked about student attendance. I also want to talk just about um staff attendance
When you look at um especially at the high school in may we have spring sports and it is a daunting
Task for our students in spring sports and sometimes you're talking up towards close to 100 some students
Out of the building and a lot of times around the building during that wind intervention time because it's at the end of the day
And when you look at like a sport like golf they're out at 11 o'clock and going 9 15 today
And sometimes they're out Monday Tuesday Thursday Friday
And the coaches and our teachers have been great with trying to mix things up so kids don't miss as much school
But the reality is golf soft softball baseball track soccer
I mean those students are leaving on a consistent basis in spring starting in the middle of
April all the way to the end of the school year
So they're not only missing instructional time. They're missing in our interventions and other things
So I don't want to make that as an excuse, but it's the reality of what our students see on a daily basis
We're also tasked and no mrs
I'm structuring talked about testing
And again, it's not an excuse but our students also took the sel screener or teachers to the sel screener. We're ap testing in in may
And
We're preparing for yeah our civics exam. We're preparing for finals. Um students are trying to get credits
There's just a lot going on. We have a lot of events
Concerts happening. So there's a lot of shifting in in may and april
And it puts a lot of pressure not only on our staff our staff, but also our students. So again, it's not an excuse
It's just the reality. Um, our teachers have been great with trying to
Allow us to pull kids out of their classroom when needed
But like we stated earlier, we didn't one of our goals back in
And fall in and in the middle of winter was to test 100% of our students because that gives our best data
Well, that's really hard when all those things are happening and we started
May, I think it was first or second and we're presenting to you here in a few short weeks
So to try to get every student tested
It's it's been difficult and that's why we talked about we just didn't have 100% of our data
So just a couple other things that they added to
Again, our students are faced with a lot of things
So some of the proposed solutions to the contributing factors
Increased small group instruction and the ability to support teachers and what that looks like and how to do that because that can be
A hard thing to do in a classroom
Analyzing the dokay level of questions and increasing the amount of three and fours
Additional training for staff and how to use their aims web data to inform instruction weekly in their plc meetings
Additional training for all staff on disciplinary literacy and how to strengthen students critical thinking skills
While they engage in text for each content area
And then some sort of incentive or motivational system or multiple ways to incentivize or motivate students to show what they know
And then I just want to just start continuing to work with again solution tree
Our language live our trans math those interventions
We just want to consistently use those I think at the high school we've often changed things and nothing's consistent
And if you see some consistency our students are going to perform better as well
And they've talked about that like well, this is just something new
It's it's going to be different next year and that's not going to happen. We're going to continuously improve students know
What's expected of them and they kind of know this is the way we're going to operate
And this is what we got to do to make sure we're scoring the best of our ability
Any questions?
Congratulations on your scores and going up with the reading
That is it's huge and it's well deserved and I don't want that to be overlooked
Are we happy with our results overall?
No, because we as adults know we want to be at 100% at or above grade level, right?
But that is not to minimize the efforts that come from the top
All the way to every every adult in the building supporting every single student and showing that growth
So congratulations to the high school on your outcomes. You guys deserve that
We're going to continue to work at it and improve those scores even more, but I should also not
Be overlooked for the work that was done because we're only going to build on that momentum
So
All right, so we have our middle school data and you have everything in front of you
We're not going to go word for word with everything. A lot of the same similar things that Trina and Matt
Already talked about from the test taking
Solution tree we're continuing with that work as well. We've had a lot of great success with that work
And teachers buying into it
A couple of things we want to point out are reading comprehension
We're very pleased with all of our staff including our paraprofessionals everybody who works with all of our students every day
We always know we can get better
We have made some really huge gains in many of our areas as you can see fifth grade comprehension
And all of our green that we have on the right
Along with that
And then when we hit our vocabulary, that is our biggest area of struggle
So that is where again like with the high school disciplinary literacy
How are we bringing everything together?
Not just our language arts teachers just needs to be spread out and we have been working on it
But we really need to be very intentional around that
There are many ela behaviors and the ela teachers cannot do that by themselves
I want you to keep in mind that with our fifth grade. We use
Different math and ela curriculum. We use in fifth grade reading. We are using into reading
Which is the same as elementary so it's a nice transition for when our fourth graders come to fifth grade
And then also with math we use iam math
Which has been a really great curriculum resource this year and until we'll speak more to that as well
We've seen a ton of progress along with that resource
I'm just really guiding and we're excited about the future
And then when we get into sixth grade at all way through 12th grade
We're using our cpm resource for math and then for sixth through 12th grade
We are using my perspectives when it comes to our ela so a little bit of a transition
But that's kind of need to have us all in the same building because we're able to you know
Work with each other and have that collaboration just right there on our hands whenever we have pd days
We do really try to make sure that we ensure vertical alignment discussions through our content
Along with our grade level, but that's been very helpful as well. So
Along with our so with our vocabulary definitely that is an area of just school wide
We just need to really strengthen that even into our math vocabulary whatever vocabulary it is in the content
There are a ton of strategies you can use to build on vocabulary writing comprehension
There's only so much time in the day and you really need to just kind of
Take your time and dig into the ones that you feel comfortable with because not every teacher feels the same way with teaching the same strategies
Along with that jilin kebble is an amazing instructional coach
She gives us a ton of
Support she was only a 0.5 coach this year and 0.5 special education
So if you think about that her dedication the time the things that we were able to see
It's just incredible with a 0.5 and that means she's doing a lot outside of the school day as well as all of our teachers
um
But along a strength with what till we'll talk about jilin also led our trans math with our special education students
And we saw really big gains with that
So we will continue to do that next year jilin will be our full-time instructional coach
And then we'll be up to
four special education case managers
Still looking for one more if we happen to get that but if we don't we are ready to adjust and figure out what we need to do
um
So next year we are adding language live
Not just for our students with iap's but for all of our students that would need like a tier three
It could be title even if they're not in title or not with an iap
We're going to have teachers trained the high school that this year. So we're going to be adding that next year
And then we'll also do that with trans math as well
Right now this year trans math was only used with our students with iap's
We did not use it. We used it for a couple students in like a tier three, but just for a few students
So we're going to be opening that up next year too
um
Then the last big thing that I wanted to kind of talk about before we head into math is
We definitely need to have more clarity
For our families around standards around our expectations how they can help
Um how we can collaborate and be a community. I think you know, maybe ever since covid
We have very kind of just kind of went into their own little areas
But our families are really they want to be a part of it
And I I know for a fact that's something that we all can do better
Is how do we provide their families clarity? How do we provide our students clarity
around
expectations
standards
And just really how do we kind of bring that all back together and come back to about instead of trying to live in a little
Silo because that does not work in school and it does not work in our community
So again, that's just a lot that we want to focus on. We did add a lot of motivation for our students
Really all our students want is extra recess. So that is pretty easy
For teal and I to take care of that extra recess
So we had a lot of students just buy into that. We said you want to dunk us in the dunk tank or do you want extra recess?
Well extra recess one leaps and bounds. So you
don't have to do a whole lot for these kids and
Some of those things aren't motivate every one of our children. We know that but when you try to
Communicate the effort and the motivation. It does help some
Again, you can't get everything all right till take it away
Yeah, I'll talk on that motivation piece and why that part is so important
And why we take a lot of pride in that at the middle school is because we have to have students do their absolute best on these tests because
We need to know where they're at
If we're going to make smart decisions on what interventions that they need to be in
What classes they need to be in how we need to adjust that curriculum
We have to know where the students actually at and so we need everyone to give their best effort
And I think the motivation systems that we have set in place has done a really good job at helping us do that with our students
So i'll talk a little bit about our math scores
We are incredibly proud of
The teachers and the students from across the board ela hand and math
And we really found a niche here and made things work
And math and and got awesome results a couple of things that i'll talk about that
I do we were big contributing factors to these math results
Once you talked a little bit about the trans math program this year. That's like a tier three program
That we can use as an intervention in math. It really was a pilot year for us
We didn't use it many with tier three students outside of the special education realm, but in combination
Of julene kepel and the trans math program
She was able to do wonders and really got a good understanding of that program
Which is going to be essential as she starts to lay that out
With the other teachers that will dive into that in the years to come here, but
The program was really good for our students
We saw we saw good results around that and that helped to push some of those students
Over that line of proficiency. I think another big contributing factor was just being consistent
Like these didn't pop up this year at this band
If you looked at the results over the last three or four years
Our staff has been working with solution tree and getting very consistent around
Our pacing guides and standards and then even more specifically down to the learning target of the skill
That goes along with those
putting in the time to look at
Which skills are the the students really going to need for the future that are non-negotiables
We have to go until we have proficiency on this
Which ones are highly tested
And which ones are going to have an impact on some of those highly tested or really important skills for their future and just focusing on
When in the year
We're laying those out and when we're focusing on those and then in combination the last thing is with our assessments
We're not just assessing to assess. We meet in our PLCs. We look at the data. We look at each student
Individually sometimes it's really nice where students
Two or three are
Messing up on the same skill or the same part of a skill and we're able to pull those into a small group
And make better use of our time
Sometimes an individual needs a little bit more help and then sometimes our results show that
We need to just
Bring in an a completely different strategy
What's an outside of the box or a different way to look at this that we need to redo this lesson tomorrow so that the larger group
Can get this and go on and jolene capo of the instructional coach has done a great job bringing in different strategies our teachers
You can really see
The difference in terms of them bringing in new strategies or additional strategies ones that they haven't tried before
Being willing to try those with all of our students
And that collaboration has made a very big difference as well
So those are kind of three of the biggest things that help to get us what you see on the screen there
I
Think you guys did a great job and seeing how you guys got nominated again for a second year in a role for the high impact
I think that that's awesome
And I think that these scores show how hard your staff are working. So congratulations on that
Thank you
You
All right, first I want to thank the 13 classroom teachers
The two spent teachers the three title teachers the seven or eight pairs we have in our coach
They're the ones who are doing all the hard work
It's uh, it's amazing how I did that. They are really doing great things
um
It's kind of weird missed us really brought this up
March 18th was the first day we tested
That's exactly two months ago
And um, it was a day after we got like a billion feet of snow
So I was just thinking about that and that's one of the things that kind of stuck in my mind
Like oh, we had two snow days before it happened. It's kind of weird. So
uh looking at
our oral reading fluency numbers and a second grade so
I want to go backwards right to left on this
So we lost 20 reading plans
Which is amazing now it's not might not be because
In third grade they also have to pass the forward exam, but they will they did amazing on that
So that was a great accomplishment
Knocking off 20 reading plans. So we started off the over 77 going down to 57 reading plans
um
our third grade
Went up 12 percentage points and their overall growth in reading
and literacy
second grade state
State flat and we retested them last week and they would have lost
Five more reading plans if they had a debate so that was that was great
the second grade struggled a little bit because they
weren't sure how to necessarily take this test
And it's the first time doing it and they we what we need to do and kind of going in
One of the things we need to figure out is getting more people in the room with them to test
Just so that they can go and take their time more and we can monitor better
And that's what's really important as we as we went through but
You can definitely see that third grade made great progress fourth grade
finished testing friday
So it was about a two-month process and they they made great progress as well. They had a lot of proficient students the way it was
I'm gonna just light it down a little bit
So once again vocabulary is a struggle piece
Kind of like the middle school too, but they they definitely are making progress on that
If we keep going down math was very similar for all the grade levels
They all made great progress along the way is very similar as a school. We did we did really well
With the first year of total implementation with our new math program, we definitely have to
See what was in the right spots and how it worked out so we definitely have to our using it with fidelity
But we definitely have to check that out, but as we go through we can definitely see that
Um, a lot of great progress was made and we we continue to make progress throughout the entire
throughout the entire year
So to slide down just a little bit we went
um as a year we went up
11
and
15 for math so we did we did do a good job as as that like I said, that's totally on
the the entire staff
uh, we
second grade bug mid-year
blew up their schedule
We definitely need to continue doing that
Right away from the get-go next year with having we called it a boot camp
Basically it was a double dip in foundational skills
And that was really important to make sure that they didn't even dip
So anyhow, we then we definitely just started that right away from the beginning of the year
um
So that we can get that group where they need to be third and fourth grade
Did a little bit of different thing that the reason why their scores are a little bit different
They also take the forward exam and not just age test
So they were also preparing for the forward exam by using heat maps and our standard maps
And we we kind of gave them a little bit different pathway for preparing for these two tests
compared to second grade
Second grade did a lot of backwards by design work
With with our coach and they they did really delved into the the hmh
And they got into that so they they're really doing well with that, but
It's uh, it's really important that uh, eventually they kind of look bigger at their standards as a
as a bowl as well
um, just
Okay, so a couple of other things. Um, first of all second grade. It was real early
That's just how we had to take our tests a second and third grade
And that's where we were middle of march and middle of a blizzard. So we did our testing
Um second grade really did well as they came back and did that again third grade
I think might have been a little bit tested out
They they were just kind of like more testing seriously and so they kind of
All the students didn't do any real much better, but they kind of worked high status quo
Uh, we definitely have to start that boot camp at the beginning again
um
We definitely need to continue what we put in as called an achievement block
It's where we did all of our main writing
And it was based off of the forward exam
Writing rubric so they did a lot of writing and that was really important
Um
We need to just add more staff when we're taking these tests
We try to use everybody we possibly could but they were when they were administrating these tests
But sometimes it just just didn't always happen by at least we had two people
but the more we can get in these rooms if possible just to
Get these students more comfortable taking these tests. I know um
In first grade definitely they were starting to prepare for a second grade like hey
What could we do to help you take these tests for for the fall so that they were comfortable
Um, but definitely using the heat maps and the standard maps is important
So that everybody knows what they're working on and when they hit these standards along the way
um
Otherwise, I'm really proud of all the work that everybody did
At north elementary. They put it a lot of time
They really uh
They really worked hard to make sure what what they were doing was best for the students each and every day
Like this
So
So
Hi there, good evening. Uh, my name is mike wannier for those of you that are new. I'm the principal at west telemetry
So I want to start we kind of have like mr
Just said we have 4k through one at west. So we have kind of three different data stories that I want to go through tonight
And i'm going to start with 4k
Our 4k team worked
Really really hard this year and ended up with some really great data and some of that data isn't present on this
Sheet because especially in math we only tested concepts and applications and quantity total fluency in 4k on this sheet
But we have some other data such as our number naming fluency, which our 4kers reached 93 percent proficiency in by the end of the year
Which essentially says that our 4kers are entering kindergarten and they know their numbers, which is awesome
Our 4k team was really effective in meeting weekly
And altering their instruction and giving
high
high amounts of academic
Instruction in 4k, which you may not see in other places 4k is sometimes
um looked at as kind of more of a daycare than an academic institution and here we really pride ourselves in our 4k program
I truly believe that it's one of the best 4k programs in the area
Um, so our 4k team. I just wanted to shout them out. They did an excellent excellent job this year
with their data
Secondly, I'm going to jump into kindergarten and as you can see as you go down through those percentages of student growth
You see one red number on our list and that was our kindergarten
To give that L.A. test earlier in march then we have previously done
So that is the data that was reflective of our kindergarten
in the L.A. in march
Since then and since seeing that number we have put a few different action steps in place
Uh, to react to it and to make a better
Um, we broke down
the what's called the foundational skill section of their hmh into reading curriculum
in a couple of the kindergarten classes where we saw a high name
and we had
the classroom teacher
the academic parrot in that room
and push entitled teacher in each of those rooms
come in and we took a foundational skill section which is traditionally taught in a large group scenario
by a single teacher
and we put it down into a rotation of three different groups
and
the academic parrot the classroom teacher and the title teacher were teaching those groups during that foundational skills time
And that foundational skills is so important. I mean, it's called foundational skills, right?
That's where our young readers learn how to decode and they learn how to blend and they learn the the basis of reading
um
And that was highly highly effective. So we've done that intensively for the last two months since march
And our data again, that's not reflected on here because we did some retesting in kindergarten
um, paper copy retesting shout out
And we ended up with what would have been a decrease in reading plans in kindergarten
It would have gone down to what is now
It's okay
Got me
I'll try it out
Check got me. All right
Um, so after that intensive intervention that we did in kindergarten
It
Our reading plans went down from what was 13 reading plans in march to what would be six reading plans now
Now that's not going to show on the state data because per act 20
Like I said, our aims web data in march is what goes to the state
But we know now
as our
As per our retesting that we dropped those reading plans and our tier two students
Went down from 21 tier two students in march to 13 tier students tier two students right now
So we have made a lot
A ton of gain and actually that one red number up there
Has become
Has completely flipped now
We as of right now, we have 84 of 103 kindergartners proficient in their ela
And if you do the math, that's 82 percent
Which is the magic 80 percent mark. Um, so we're really really proud of that
Um
It's unfortunate that we weren't able to achieve that in march
But through some of the things that we put in place with our instructional coaches and our title program
And our academic paras because I do not want to sell them short
Our paras and k and 4k this year have been so incredibly valuable
And it just kind of opens the door to what we can do with them going into next year
Um, because running groups like I just described in that foundational skills section
Um
Has shown that we can make huge gains really quickly
So I just wanted to highlight that for our kindergarten class
I'll jump then into our first grade class now
Um
Our first grade class as you can see
In ela had a plus 1 percent growth from our winter data
I want to
Shout out and highlight our first grade teachers because our first grade teachers undertook something this year that is kind of unprecedented
Um, as a lot of you know and for those of you that don't that might be new
We lost a first grade teacher back in october right before I got there
And
Throughout most of the winter, um, we were kind of shuffling in
Various long-term subs short-term subs anybody that we could do to fill that position
And come late february
We had a long
A hard discussion in at plc with the team where members of the first grade team said
This is enough. We don't want to see this anymore
There are 20 students in that class that are suffering right now
And it was a very honest conversation and they said we want to take those students on
So in late february, we consolidated that first grade class that didn't have a classroom teacher
And we put those students spread those students across the other four first grade classrooms
Um, that was a huge undertaking that took a lot of courage and a lot of
A lot of the right mindset a lot of the right mindset of what we want from all of our educators in our district
Because we saw students that were suffering and we made it better. We made it right if you go back
and you peek at the
Winter data for ela for first grade. You can see that it was read before it is now green
And I know it's only 1% but that is a huge 1%
Because we took that class and we took it upon ourselves
To take those students under our wing and consolidate them and make sure that they get what they need
So can you just
October so first grade teacher at left in october and then in february is when you consolidated
Yes, okay. That's a huge chunk of time in a school year. Yes
It had a really important how great levels are important, but
Learn to read it like read to learn the year was that all the time in any elementary schools and first grade is is
The most important grade for learning how to read it
So that's significant time that those students had a lack of consistency a lack of
Expectations not at the fault of any
Individual stepping in is a long-term sub but simply because when you can't have a classroom teacher there all of the time
To create that consistency structure and routine within the district goals and building building goals. That's really difficult
Um, and so I'm really happy that you
Included that information to share how your staff
Came together and came up with the solution
Because that's a considerable amount of time and in that short amount of time then once you came up with a solution and consolidated
Consolidated you also saw significant growth. So I am very appreciative to your staff on behalf of the board
I think all of us are very appreciative to that and
Congrats on seeing that outcome and seeing that you were no longer going to allow like this vacancy to impact academic achievement because that's what we are
All here for is student achievement. So thank you for sharing and including them
our
And then we can jump out down to our math data
Our math data continues to skyrocket which is awesome
as
Some of the principals before we spoke
We have adopted the illustrative math curriculum in our elementary levels and this is our first year
And I know I said this in the winter meeting as well
I'm going to say it again to see this jump and this increase in numbers and your one of implementation of a resource is
Really unheard of
Your one of resources are
Are usually not this effective?
You don't normally see jumps in data like this until you're two or three of a resource
So to see this in year one is absolutely amazing
To piggyback off of that
We're not satisfied with that because we still have a lot of room to go to get to that magic 80% mark
And we're aiming for that
Our guiding coalition this semester has already talked about
The last year of math look for is and the last year of math
It's called the sequence and we're going to start
Continue to look into that going into next year and rolling some of that out
To further hone our math curriculum
We want to break down that curriculum
Look at what's absolutely essential standard wise in the curriculum and
develop
A really true scope and sequence of what we need to be teaching our kids
And kind of have a deep dive into that curriculum in year two
To make sure that those numbers continue to go up and to make sure that we can close that gap
So we can get down to that magic 80% number
Um going back to so
I'll jump into
Numbers that show all of your spring
Yep
As you can see all of our numbers have
Increased have gotten improved from fall to spring
We started especially in math with a significant number of students that score from grade level
But we have an equally significant increase in one year again in a year one of
implementation of that resource
And we want to see both of those numbers in order to see a map continue to grow
Going forward
Some of the challenges that we have this year as I already talked about we're lost of that first grade teacher
We took care of that student consolidation of classes
Um, we had a high percentage of students that entered the school year performing below the benchmark especially mathematics
We're going to moving forward we're going to continue to do less that means what data to
Create targeted to your two and two three intervention groups
that kind of
The
What we did with the kindergarten
Literacy group this year in
Having an intensive support kind of shows us what we can do in the future when we have a situation where we can
Throw support into that room and we have a model now that we can follow
to
Continue to make increased improvements
Going forward and specifically in that foundational skills
Uh, portion of our resource
Of that foundational skills as I said before is so incredibly important
That's where I could learn how to blend into code which ultimately leads to reading
So I'm assuming we're not the only ones affected by the having to test in march and we have some really good data of what that did
I'm assuming that's getting passed to dpi
Right before you five days a lot no matter if that's march april
Especially for our little
We have really good data to support that this is maybe not the best time frame
Thanks. I figured as much but I just
Wanted it. Yes fantastic
Thank you
Thank you
I
Don't have questions, but I very much appreciate the time and the detail put into these presentations
The board of education is here to to focus on student achievement and academic outcomes and your
The detailed reports that are provided to us don't sugarcoat where we are they show where our deficits are
But you connect we are not teaching for a test
We are doing assessments and we are reviewing data on a weekly basis and we are modifying pivoting
Addressing finding patterns
Identifying best fits or approaches so we are using that data very very intentionally. It's not just a meeting to meet. I heard
Working to fit or yeah working towards fidelity several times. I know that was kind of a joke
And many of our buildings in the past was like it's just the current greatest thing
But we're working with intentionality and again
This is our primary role as academic achievement and so this in my opinion is the number these these three data reports of the the most important meetings
Not just for the board of education but for our community to see what we're doing that we're not going to sugarcoat and then we are also going to
Highlight and celebrate our successes as we as adults continue to seek that 100% at or above so to our
Admin team to our building admin to our staff and to our students and families
Thank you for your commitment to academic outcomes and showing the growth. So thank you very much
Okay, next we have the director of pupil services and special education
Mrs. Wagner is present if there are any questions about her report
Next we have the director of technology
Mrs. Mushak is available virtually if there are any questions regarding her report
Okay, up next is the superintendent report it is attached. I'll do a brief overview
April and may are filled with lots of meetings regarding staffing
with the current
Construction going on at john h Bradley
Jake and I have also met with
Sue govie who is working with us on
Decorating and she is also doing our bid for ffne, which is furniture fixtures and equipment
Um, the bid package was sent out and it's due back to central office may 28th
We're already working with myron on what that schedule will look like and where
Staging will take place for the furniture to be put together in a symboled and placed in the classroom so that none of our staff is
I'm responsible to do that. So that will be coming soon
Um, we had our last graduation meeting with the team at the antigo high school. They work very hard
I'm a big shout out to them to make sure that everything is
polished the
The programs are
I'm going to be done in house this year from our cte department
So we're very excited about that mr. Deuce it and his students will be working on those and they
Miss michelle nap cabbage and amanda moor along with mrs. Bournaman have put in a lot of effort to try to make sure that everything is
in alignment and miss amie wittman
So a big shout out to them as well as we are
Fastly uh quickly approaching graduation and I hope to see everyone there
Um friday night at the ceremony begins at five o'clock
So, please try to be there by four or fifteen for graduation pictures
Um more about staffing miss stuttering miss fastbinder. Um miss wagner and I have been working on placement of staff
And jade has also been part of those conversations as we work to update we can
We do currently have a vacancy in the human resources
Assistant position so we're all pitching in and filling in to make sure that we don't lose candidates that we're getting things scheduled that we are
Getting contracts out
And it takes the whole village of us so that that takes up
A lot of different meeting times throughout the week multiple times
um
The next thing is we updated the school calendar to include workdays for support staff that will be posted
Once it's updated to the approved calendar to the website that also that all staff are aware of what that is
We had a luncheon for appreciation for our principles and associate principles for um their appreciation day
had a coffee meeting with a community member
and um miss stuttering and I had a meeting with
mr. jokes through leader and me where we um were awarded the 30 000 grant we have another meeting coming up to talk about
um who the coach will be for the um annego school district so exciting times coming with that
um also you'll see linked updated construction photos each um
month
And we also update those each week. I believe on our website myrin takes those photos and then um gives an explanation of what each of those
Pictures what rooms they are so that they're uploaded on our website so that the community has
um an idea of where we are in the progress of getting the construction project completed
We spent half a day working with new board members on orientation
Information was shared with them to help prepare for positions on the board directors introduced themselves and explained their roles and responsibilities
Board president danny piet myself
Presented the orientation information and a light lunch was provided
Routine principal meetings and we also have held interviews for the principal position for john h Bradley
Um, no decision has been made yet. Um, and there will be follow-up interviews coming. So
Any questions about superintendent report?
I don't have a question, but I just want to make a room
Make a remark
Um, so many of you know that I was my daughter's a senior this year. She's uh my youngest
And she has made the request that I'm I participate as a mother not as a school board member
So I will I will be there but I'll be in the audience
Um being a mom versus being on stage as a school board member. So I just wanted everybody to know
So if you see me there and I'm not on stage, that's why
So thank you for that
And it is a memorable time. So you should be rightfully in your spot as a mom
Okay, um up next we have discussion regarding the process for filling the vacant school board seat
Would anyone like to make a motion as to what that process will look like and I'll win
Oh
What danny just information just information
So will the same process be followed as what happened when mr. Peterson's vacancy happened
Okay, so as we see the public comment our content there is the letters of interest are submitted to the district office beginning tomorrow
And uh through 3 p.m. On june the fifth
And then the board will have a special called meeting on monday june 8
And which we will interview those
Individuals who submitted letters of interest
And that meeting will begin no earlier than 6 p.m. Because that will follow the three
committee meetings in june
And then as you see attached there the process we're filling a board vacancy is there
For the community to see as well
So then this um
Member would be up for election in the next
Election correct so we would have four vacancies that we'd be voting for in april
I just want to clarify that because it's a little bit different than mr. Peterson mr. Peterson's
Okay, thank you for that
Okay, any further discussion about the board vacancy
Okay
Moving on to item number six board action
letter a consideration to approve the second reading of neola draft policy 5460 graduation requirements
I move to approve the second reading of neola draft policy
5460 graduation requirements
Would you like to speak to your motion? No
Are there questions?
Okay hearing none
The voting is now open
We can't do that. No, it'll have to go on to the next month on the next
um
monthly meeting
Okay, then I need somebody to amend that to say it's not after starting now
What what isn't correct can we
Is it the attachment that's not correct then the verbiage under the motion is correct
What needs to be corrected in the attachment?
Okay
So what's the difference then like what's
So this one is a second read and it's a different
Policy than what was presented at the first reading so in order for it to be passed we have to have
two readings
So can we not change that language can someone make a motion to change the language
to what was read at the first reading
of the policy
Danny I like to amend the motion that's on the floor
And the motion that I'd like to offer for can I make this amendment
Sure
I move to approve the second reading of the neolid draft policy 5 4 6 0 that was presented at the
um april
board meeting
April 2026 board meeting
Okay
Would you like to speak to your motion
No, just to clarify
According to the principal building principal and uh curriculum instructor director
We need to have this taking care of
tonight
Rather than put it off. So
That's why I offer this amendment to this main motion
Yes
I
Attached
So can we
What is the correct verbiage to move this to the june meeting because that would be fine then correct
But if it's not time sensitive
Then we would have the correct attachment it would be better to just vote for it uh vote on it in june
Okay, I just wanted to make sure that that
This one
Okay
My my order of operations, how do we
Well, the amendment is what's on the the floor right now and that is to approve the second reading
from the april board meeting
April 20th april 20th board meeting
That's what's on the floor
That would be in the first reading out to approve what was uh attached on the first meeting first reading in april the 20th
Yeah
I'm mr
That's remin miss borman. Did you all look at the attachment on the april board meeting agenda to make sure that it's accurate
So
The april first reading was okay
You can't open it mr. Trim
Would you like to come and see my computer and see what it is
Is
All right
This is from April.
This is from April.
Oh yeah, that looks really bad.
We have to vote on the amendment first.
Could I take the amendment from the table?
In order to take the amendment from the table, it does take a vote.
You can do that in a voice vote.
So there will be a voice vote to remove the amendment from the table.
All those in favor say aye.
Aye.
All those not in favor?
Aye.
You can't table it because if you table it, you have to pick it back up in the same meeting.
What we can do is postpone it.
So I move to postpone.
I move to postpone item 6a to the June regularly scheduled board meeting.
Yes.
Okay.
Any further questions?
Would you like to speak more to your motion?
No, I think everybody knows the reason why this is happening.
Jill, did you have something?
I just appreciate this is a difficult meeting without having a board president.
And I appreciate that.
Mr. Piedt and Ms. Mamela are working to share parliamentarian knowledge and processes because
this is super important and we have to get it right.
And it feels as a board member, it feels really odd because we don't have direction.
So I just, it tying to the importance of making sure we get it right.
Thank you for stepping in to help guide the process in this.
In terms of not having a board president.
Agreed.
Okay.
No further discussion?
The voting is open.
It says approve on there, but that was from the previous vote.
You guys know what you're voting for?
I don't know.
You're voting on the postpone this to the June board meeting.
Okay.
Does that matter that that's not what that says up there?
Yeah, that matters.
So we can't vote on that right there, right?
Because that says to approve.
No, it matters what she puts in the minutes.
It's an amendment to that.
It's amendment to what that is because that's what's already been put in the agenda.
So it's been amended.
So the vote is for the amendment.
Okay.
Which is the postponement of June.
Okay.
Would anyone like to change your vote?
Okay, Nathan.
Okay.
Motion passes.
Now that it becomes your main motion.
And now what?
One more time on that because now it becomes your main motion.
So does someone have to say it?
No.
Okay.
So now our main motion is to consider moving the Niola policy 5460 graduation requirements to the June meeting.
Okay.
Nathan.
Okay.
The voting is now open.
Would anyone like to change their vote?
Okay.
Nathan.
Okay.
Motion approved.
Okay.
Item B.
Student handbook updates for 2627.
I move to approve the recommended updates to the Annigal High School student handbook as presented.
I'll defer comments to Mrs. Bournaman.
There were really many updates we could ask for in their opinion and the biggest of the voting.
So it's 10 minutes to be 20.
And then you have to answer that.
Other than that, we could have a little bit of language that students have been using, but they wanted to be a teacher.
And all of those changes have been highlighted.
Correct.
Okay.
How does that timeframe compare to the middle school for a tardy?
Good question.
I am not sure.
Just more of a curiosity.
That there's consistency.
I would give them a little bit more neat leeway than the high school that I was just curious.
So part of the reason that staff had asked for a children's handbook is our frequency to add on in the hallway or in the bathroom.
So at the committee meeting, that stuff was highlighted, but I did not see in those highlights in this unless I've got the wrong thing.
But at the committee meeting, I saw those.
Yep. So I was going to share that this was brought to committee.
Ms. Boardman was unable to appear, but communicated that beforehand and spoke with me about the changes that I did report out in committee.
I'm wondering if perhaps I was looking to Mr. Prezick as well.
I thought I saw the technology one was still highlighted.
Correct.
Yeah, it's just indicating where the changes, but the one with the change.
You're just saying it's not highlighted in here.
Like the font is not highlighted as because I see the change.
And page one, you know, like that update has been added.
So we're looking on page eight and nine.
Correct.
We're looking at these in line with the changes.
So on top of page nine, that is correct where the second paragraph where it's changed to five minutes,
so that's the proposed change.
Because the sentence before has 10 minutes being tardy to school as opposed to being tardy to class.
Okay.
So if you're there in the morning, ten minutes after that, once you're in the building, five minutes on top of three minutes or three minutes.
Sorry.
And then the other part was we won't be starting until the second week of school and the past we put a date in there.
This way we don't have to be catching the date seconds as well.
And then students with ten of our charties in one monthly place and it had a plan to decide that it had a plan in there before.
It's something that we've been doing.
Thank you.
Thank you, Trina.
Okay. Any further questions?
How does the cell phone or device policy that's highlighted?
How is that compared to the state law that's been rolled out and are you having issues with devices in the building?
I would never sit down this year.
The only thing that if it follows the state policy or the state law that's coming down that requires a certain July.
It doesn't talk about if our SRO would be involved in all the state law doesn't clarify if they made it a law.
So it doesn't specify if your SRO would be involved or not.
So until we get more clarification, we'll use this when it's time to catch up.
Thank you.
Do you want members on how many self-emotion have issues?
I wouldn't be able to do that quickly tonight, but I could get back to you.
Sure.
Any other questions?
Thanks, Trina.
Thank you.
So student handbook, any further questions?
None. The voting is open.
Would anyone like to change their vote?
Am I up there?
No.
No.
Thank you.
Would anyone like to change their vote?
Hearing none.
Nathan?
Okay.
Item C20.
No, that was removed.
That was removed.
That was removed.
I have been the student handbook item B.
Okay.
You're good?
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
The next item is item C202627 student Chromebooks.
I will be looking for a motion.
I move to approve the bid from CDW in the amount of $41,340 for the 2026, 2027 student
Chromebooks.
Would you like to speak to your motion?
Yes.
This was also brought to committee.
It's the same device being requested, notably the number of devices is nearly cut in half
or cut in half.
That is just alignment with devices and students moving, so they'll get assigned a new device
when they move into a new school building to streamline things.
The other thing of importance is there is an inventory shortage from all tech companies,
so it's important to move on this now.
But I'm noting that the number is less because we should anticipate and ask this, I don't
think, but next year's number is probably going to be more because we're cutting it in
half because of that new build and just aligning a new device when you transition to a new
building.
Thank you.
Any further questions?
Hearing none, the voting is now open.
Would anyone like to change their vote?
Hearing none, Nathan?
Okay.
Motion is approved.
Thank you.
Item D.
Can I interrupt for a second?
Sure.
I'm not sure what the appropriate way to interrupt is, but I'm thinking about the next meeting.
My understanding from Robert's rules is that when you have a chair pro temp, that that expires
at the end of the current meeting.
So what happens at the beginning of the next meeting if we have to?
We have to vote for another chair pro temp.
And that happens just at the very beginning of the meeting magically by the very beginning
of the meeting, the next meeting will start with a vote of a chair pro temp.
The previous chair will open the meeting and then will vote for a chair pro temp.
Thank you.
Okay.
Item D.
2026, 27 firewall upgrades.
I will be looking for a motion.
I move to approve the bid from camera corner in the amount of $31,929.42.
Would you like to speak to your motion?
Yes, thank you.
So this is also brought to committee.
It's basically a digital security guard.
It is e-rate eligible, so that helps offset our cost.
And it's good for five years and includes the annual updates.
Thank you.
Are there other questions or comments?
Okay.
Hearing none, voting is now open.
Okay.
Would anyone like to change their vote?
Okay.
Nathan?
Motion passes.
Okay.
Item E, report of donations.
I'll be looking for a motion.
I move to approve the report of donations, $600 from Nancy and Ronald Family Foundation
for the drama club scholarships.
And I would like to speak on my motion to express appreciation on behalf of the board for the
generosity of the donor for the purpose of job club scholarship.
So thank you very much.
Thank you.
I agree.
Go ahead.
I just have one question.
With the seniors receiving the different scholarships, do they lose access to their email accounts
right away?
Because I found that some of the things that Trinity has in her school email, she needs
to transfer over to her personal email.
And if our students are aware that they're going to lose access to their school email.
Okay.
Can you hear the question?
I was wondering when, I guess when is the cutoff date for our seniors to be losing access
to their school emails, so that, I guess, so that regarding their school scholarship
information that they need.
They will be thought on their last date and we have some study selection and how we do
a feedback up of an relevant answer that they would get access to.
If there have been instances where someone needs access to that communication after that
they need access to their school email.
Okay.
So my understanding you correctly that that.
So seniors last day is tomorrow.
Unless there's like different circumstances involved or is it when they graduate.
Sorry, I'm just looking for specific.
So the end of my school year.
Okay.
Last year.
Okay.
And they have been told that multiple times.
They have the direction.
So tomorrow we have our last meeting.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
But we have had instances where we've had students come in and help them work through that process.
Sure.
Yeah.
There's a lot in.
Yeah.
Okay.
Right.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Okay.
I do believe you did we vote on the donations?
No.
Not yet.
Any other questions?
Okay.
Nathan, can you open the voting devices?
The voting is open.
Would anyone like to change their vote?
Nathan?
Motion carries.
Thank you.
Okay.
Next we'll be looking for a motion to adjourn.
Before that.
I'm curious on how this board is going to set the agenda for the following meeting.
We don't have a board president nor do we have a board.
Super Nintendo have to work with district council.
Okay.
Thank you.
Motion to adjourn.
Okay.
Okay.
Meeting is adjourned.
This is going to be a three ring circus.
