the stuff that's going over our T so of course thank you for having me thank you all right so next up we have a report from operations great good evening Madam chair members of the board superintendent tuio Soro let me pull this up here we thank you okay feels like I was just here talking about construction we've had it going on for a long time um now I've excited to share where we are overall with our budget and how well we've been doing as well as highlight the projects we completed this past summer and of course we do have ongoing construction um sharing a little bit about mainly where we are with Tartan and Harmony and then also giving um a glimpse into where we are with the planning of our 2025 projects coming up here so overall I think it's great to report that you know over the last couple years we've had several Bond issues voter approv School building bonds our facility maintenance General obligation bonds we are down to utilizing just two of our issues and we have done so well we're we're actually carrying the great balance forward not having to take out as much for the next facility maintenance bonds that we're going to need to do here but um we're sitting well most of our projects have come in on or under budget so after this next construction season here which is June 30th our end of our fiscal year we'll still maintain a balance of about 28,000 or 28 million excuse me of our school building bonds which our voter approved and we'll have about $3 million left of our facility maintenance bonds but if you recall when we did our 10-year plan for the long-term facilities maintenance middle in um July or in June excuse me for mde you did approve an authorization to sell General obligation maintenance bonds again to fund fiscal year 26 and 27 so we'll be working with our financial advisors Ellers on when would be a good time to do that in 2025 and of course we always have access to our long-term facilities maintenance Levy and that's this year about $6 million so what have we been doing with the money this past summer we had several great projects come to an end so Webster education Center was fully renovated um I hope you get a chance to go over and see it new parking lot we've done interor Renovations new Mechanicals the security upgrades they did receive new furniture and we did expand the outdoor player areas and of course that was all to house Webster um K12 which was formerly Harmony's K12 our special education program it also houses Tec and hopefully eventually will be home to a future Clinic we have space set aside for that as well and again under budget on that project Justice alen page Elementary we as shared previously we did some site reconfiguration work this is a heavily used full school which is great we did parking lot expansion added 60 parking stalls um I had been over since during the middle of school day and there has been a few left to park which has been great um we also um worked with the neighborhood to relocate our playground and hard surface play area to the front of the building in the center of the property um it was very close to our property line and we received a lot of noise complaints on that so much better this school year and of course when we had the ground dug up we had to do some s our waste pipe replacement too as long as we're at it again that came in under budget and we haven't been over there um it's great we realiz the same playground equipment that was installed so it was it was an easy move for us to do Weaver Elementary also had a new playground installed and again that came in under budget Castle Elementary we replaced the gym floor and the gym divider um deferred maintenance dollars again under budget and hopefully you noticed when you drove in a couple months ago that you weren't hitting all the potholes at the district education center that uh each parking lot was replaced as well as replacing the parking lot lighting into led to serve or to save money um we also installed similar to what we've been installing in all of our schools a mother's room and that's accessible not only for staff that work in the building but also for visitors if they need it as well those that are often visiting our Enrollment Center we want to make sure they have access and then Tartan High School stadi improvements phase one of two so the artificial turf is replaced as well as the track resurfaced again under budget and just to let you know Phase 2 is coming this coming summer the bleachers and Press Box will be replaced as well as the stadium lighting to more efficient lighting and of course we always got a few more to add Eagle Point we did some work around the site extending sidewalks adding fencing um a great picture of our maintenance crew working at the John Glenn Middle School we had it drained did tile repairs cleaned it um we did the same thing at Sky View Middle School pool as well as doing some important SA upgrades to that pool as well and we had a bunch of miscellaneous work at North High too gym refinishing floor refinishing gym divider replacement and hopefully you notice the site directional signage that was installed around the site as well hopefully directing people to the correct locations inside of the building at North High School ongoing construction of course I'm happy to say we are in our last year of construction at Tartan High School I think everybody's very happy that's a four almost five year project of construction um those classroom Towers came down this summer and they are currently working on phase uh 10 and 11 which is a new secured entrance new Administration the media center the secondary gym and a flex learning Black Block space we are on budget which is great for that long of a duration of a construction project and we are still on schedule aiming for substantial completion in August of next year and just to share a couple pictures from the renovated as you recall it's now the commons but it was the old gym and how it's opened up the volume inside tarton and then the classroom um Wing Little shot down the hall and of course had to throw in the picture of right after they took down the the towers what the front side of the building looks like now um where they're going to add on the secure entry and the new gym but just to give a little highlight because I know it's been difficult sitewise this year um this is what the site will finish as and student and visitor parking and staff and student parking in the back with a separated Bus Loop in front and I keep sharing this picture because this is what we're striving for it's going to be a difficult year sitewise and we're doing I know the school is working really hard and they've been managing it the best they can but it is painful this year but they're doing you know last year and we're going to be there we're going to be Crossing that Finish Line it's going to be great Harmony Learning Center um which is also going undergoing renovation started in August that eventually after the two-year construction project will house adult based education they are actually still living in the building while we're doing construction 622 online and then all our alternative programs will also be housed at Harmony um we're two months three months into that and right now they've done the demolition on the phase one twostory portion they're working on the roof and they're going to start framing as well so upcoming a lot that we did this past year and we have going on but planning is one where we're always planning two to three years in advance and the design for these upcoming projects started this past spring you actually will start seeing bid Awards coming in November and December for these projects um I'm not going to go through everyone but um we have work exterior work that's going to happen at Beaver Lake cin is now going to get their new playground um a couple more gym divider Replacements we've had them feels like they were all installed at the same time and they're feeling at the same time so we're going around replacing those um we have some cost savings uh projects so the boiler old steam boiler which is one of the last ones we have in the district is here and it's going to be replaced we're also going to go back and do some um parking lot work Gladstone our senior center and our Early Learning Center is much like the dec used to be with lots of hous holes and that's really something we need to take care of so if there are any questions on any of this upcoming work feel free to let me know but again um on schedule on time and looking for a really successful year of construction coming up in 2025 with that I and take any questions I have a comment Sarah would you be willing um to make a statement or two about um all the work you're doing towards solar energy yeah yeah and I actually just added it to the agend and hopefully to come back next month to share a little bit more with all the details we were fortunate enough to receive three solar for school grants from the state of Minnesota for Richardson Carver and Justice Allen paage just shy of I believe $600,000 to put solar on those buildings in turn we are also taking advantage of our EXL buildings not all of our buildings are in Excel territory um to put solar use the re rebate program and put solar on our Excel buildings so first up castle and Eagle Point those if you've driven by recently do have solar panels now on the roof they're actually actively installing them and they are connected as of today not fully powered up but they're connected to the grid and what we're planning to do um I'll come back and share all the data and the cost savings long terms just the three sites alone are estimated to uh save over $3 million over the course of those those life cycles with 40-year panels um but lots of good movement and I have to verify this but the um company that is the solar provider did say by the time we are done with the three phases which will be the next three years of solar we will be one of the largest School District the school district is one of the largest solar Ray systems in the district or in the state so um exciting news obviously goes to our bottom line saves on the utility and electrical cost which general fund costs as well very exciting and something to be so proud of because and and for those who are are listening or who may not be aware um whereas much of the area is under EXL energy um there is uh full energy Consortium that comes out of the city of North St Paul correct who manages a lot of the energy for the area and so that's what Sarah was referring to with the North St Paul electrical grid versus Excel Energy so um we're now and Sarah and her team have done a great job navigating in both of those environments which is really exciting and and quite uh a feather in our cap to be a leader in terms of green energy for a school district it's exciting and I just I forgot to mention will plan to have ribbon cuting for the solar arrays in in April so when it's warmer again very cool uh Sarah very impressive report thank you um I uh because Webster has been completely transformed I'd be really interested and and maybe others would be interested in in uh a tour um so um should we we can set that up through May May set that up with Trisha thank you thank you appreciate that yeah yeah I think that'd be great I just had a few questions um so the solar is there plans to like expand it to other buildings or okay yeah so right now we're planning about five to six schools per year so the three solar for school schools I mentioned plus castle and Eagle Point five this year five next year and then six the following year and that will cover all of our Excel territory um buildings and we're going to continue to work with North St Paul because we would really like to have it on our other buildings as well so yes okay um and then I had noticed um we did repairs on the pool John Glenn those I mean it's a fairly new pool are those like just normal wear ter or normal wear and tear that is a heavily used pool by Community Ed and our swim teams but yes um cleaning grout maintenance filter changes Etc that was all done okay so it's a good practice to drain it about every four years and clean it out awesome thank you so much yeah thank you all right we have um superintendent report perfect this first item is going to be our assistant superintendent Trisha St Michaels just touching base on some highlights oops it's the other dock uh that's the goals enrollment just kind of some of the highlights of what we're seeing with our enrollment Trend so far where did you have it do you need my help it's it's on the dock got it there we go thank you going screen so you can see these really big numbers I expect that you'd know exactly what they say but which you also had a chance to look at at our study session a couple weeks ago so it's kind of a recap for you good evening Cherry Yang superintendent Tu Osorio and directors of the board just I wanted to take a brief opportunity to highlight some enrollment information and numbers for us here as we near the end well basically end of September data and big highlight and First Take take away I want to be able to share and again this is information that's in your board packet as well and we had the opportunity to review earlier this month is that we have had an increase in enrollment from last year's beginning of the year as well as theet 2324 was also an um an increase in enrollment from the prior year following kind of the impact of the the pandemic and so we're continuing to see our enrollment increase we're continuing also this year another highlight in area that we um were really pleased to see is that we also had an increase in our enrollment across our middle schools which was an area where we had had some decline in years past and so we're we're really making some gains in those areas and um so we're really looking to in also our month-to-month change so in this particular graph you'll see a month-to-month comparison and then there's also a year-to-year comparison the graphs at the bottom uh the month-to-month comparison being obviously the end of the 23 24 school year we did see also an increase in enrollment from that date to the beginning of the start of our school year um and similarly in 23 24 had that same data that we were increasing in seeing large growth in our early childhood programs um over the last two years which which is great because then we're doing early intervention and needing the needs of students early on and and getting them the support that they need and also seeing some changes in our program numbers in terms of some of our where you may see some fluctuations at times as you look at these reports throughout the year is in our program section and that has to do and captures often students who are in some of our care and treatment programs where there is great variation in terms of how long they're in those programs so when you see changes in that it's very likely due to just the length of time students are enrolled in those programs and being supported and educated by us so with that I'm happy to answer any questions if there's other areas that you have interest in or information I can point out in terms of where we've had some some continued growth if I could add to um when school district funding is calculated um by mde they they base it on enrollment of course from the previous school year and it's not based on one point in time it's it's based on an average of student enrollment for the whole school year and so beginning at the start of the school year we just start looking at various points in time throughout the year um but our funding for the year following will be dependent upon how the enrollment Trends over the whole course of the whole school year and so when we generate these monthly enrollment reports um we often are looking at that point in time in the year but also comparing it to the previous year so this is our September 30th enrollment Port report it's comparing itself to September 30th of 2023 and so again these are point in time moments and we're just beginning the school year so we'll keep looking at all of that but um uh all signs are looking good for the start of the new school year so we're happy about that um I just had a quick question so have um how close were we with like projections for classrooms wise did we have to like do any switches um I can speak to Elementary certainly um and we were very close on target actually did um probably have a little bit higher enrollment than than we had projected to um to staff our classrooms with and so we've we've made some adjustments as needed and continued to be responsive to where we may have had some tighter spots than what we had originally projected for so we are we're very pleased with our elementary enrollment certainly at this point in time um secondary secondary enrollment was also very close with some being over and some being a tiny bit under but really on projection overall students never quite land in perfect little packages of of 25 or 30 students in a classroom and so um we always start the school year making adjustments and kind of adding we call them our hot spots and adding in a little extra FTE um here and extra people here and so um the area we've been doing kind of the most with that has been more El and sped numbers in certain classes and such but um and adjusting some schedules and such to try to balance out enrollment better um CH do we get a sense at all about the enrollment increase due to students leaving private schools or charter schools and coming to the district is that uh not at this point yet okay at some point once we kind of have our numbers a little more established for the year we'll run some reports that'll tell us a little bit more information about where those that return might might have happened if it's coming back from or if it's new um additions to the school year overall so we'll be looking at that again a little more in depth as as we head more into the fall and early winter especially as we look ahead to budget planning for the following school year which always begins way sooner than you think it does um right away in December January we're already kind of making all those projections so and I know with nine private schools in our district it's significant to uh keep an eye on that absolutely yep thank you I'll pop over here too just to kind of all right um chair Yang and directors of the board I have one other item for my update for you this evening and that relates to um superintendent goals for the year and as you know we review these every year uh we start the year off and and as a school board you all had the opportunity to weigh in and look at these and discuss these at um our last study session and so tonight we are sharing them uh officially with you as well so we can kind of keep focused on this this this is a compilation of goals based around what our data shows us um feedback from end of the school year um Schoolboard evaluation my evaluation that happens every year in the summertime and so um just just want to hit a couple of the highlights for you um the goals for my office this year which basically overarching all kinds of departments and encompasses a lot of other work are in basically several key buckets the first of which of course is equity and achievement um increasing learner outcomes we used to previously measure these according to world's best Workforce legislation which has been sunsetted and we now have um Minnesota's new comp ensive achievement and Civic Readiness guidelines uh and these are basically have several key areas children are ready for school racial and economic achievement gaps between students are closed students are ready for College and Career students graduate from high school and students graduate prepared to be lifelong Learners and so um those are the new measurement areas underneath the new comprehensive achievement and Civic Readiness guidelines that said you'll still see a world's best Workforce report next month in November as we always do because it's it's report on last year's achievement through the world's best Workforce data point so we'll go through all of those this year um and we also had under this area strong implementation of the new Min uh student engagement and attendance and implementation of the new Minnesota raid act because that's a really big heavy lift in our system across the state right now um the second big bucket is stakeholder engagement strengthen in organizational and Community Trust through positive relationships with stakeholders um transparent communication inclus and these I won't read all the sub item bullets here but stakeholders include staff students um families and the community at large and so those are all included here and then the third bucket is organizational leadership of course alignment with our new strategic plan which we're working on this year and you'll see that our um presentations you're going to be seeing this year are going to be aligned to those strategic plan buckets we've identified alignment with the new strategic plan strengthening districtwide use of data for decisionmaking workflow management and preservation of institutional knowledge we've been working a lot on this and continue to do so because we know that you know as people change roles we don't want knowledge being lost with one person who is The Keeper of the information so continuing to do that prioritizing Recruitment and Retention of high quality staff resource development and allocation um and then of course uh we always include a couple of professional goals as well advocating for our school district and public education among Metro and state leaders and applying current research to support our equity and organizational leadership and so these are the goals we discussed at the study session and these will be the goals for my office this year um and with that I'll take any comments questions Christine I think thank you for your goals I always appreciate these documents and I I love your goals and I wonder if you would just say a couple words about anybody who would like to push back on an equity goal oh on an equity goal well here's a couple thoughts first of all um Equity is it's a great question Equity is actually first of all identified in Minnesota's legislation for comprehensive achievement and Civic Readiness guidelines and so there is an equity requirement that we're looking at um Gap closures and one thing I like to explain to people and I've had these conversations a number of times over the years but as we think about what does Equity work mean it really is about looking at all the stakeholders in our organization and by stakeholders again I mean students staff families and looking closely to see who's not being successful in our system as it is right now and where that happens where we see someone not being successful we do more for them to try to make sure they are successful it's just about monitoring and adjusting um all the work we're doing and paying attention to how successful everyone is and are are the goals being met for each and every student and are they leaving our system ready to learn and I know there are sometimes perceptions out there that Equity work is about you know pitting black students against American unian students against Asian students against against um Hispanic students against white students and it's not about that it really is about looking at any groups of students who aren't being successful and figuring out what we need um you know I often give this example many years ago when I was a school principal in a school that was primarily students of color and I only had about 3% of my student population was white students my 3% of white students were actually my highest poverty most um affected by homelessness and having the least success in our school systems with attendance academics all kinds of different ways you might measure that and that's an example where in that environment in that setting at that time they needed extra attention and extra supports to help make sure we could get kids to school and break down barriers that we getting in the way of their ability to get to school every day and be successful with learning and so that idea of equity um a lot of times you hear it together as equity and inclusion it's about inclusion making sure everybody feels welcomed in our schools feels safe and is thriving in our schools and so what does it mean when that's not happening well we need to do something about it and so I think that's part of why when we talk about gaps and for those who really haven't spent as much time talking about achievement gaps um what it really is about taking a look at your highest achieving groups of students and those that are performing significantly lower and doing more for them and in every grade level in every measure the gaps are different right so for example we might seem in one school where we're looking at third grade math scores for example in that particular setting we might be seeing that um you know some of our Latino students maybe are not doing as well in third grade math at that site and what might be some of the barriers in that setting in another school a third grade class might have a different group of students students who aren't being as successful um you might have white students or American Indian students or others who are not being as successful on third grade math and so it's not a blanket statement but it is about every single School site looking and every grade level team looking closely at your data and monitoring the progress of all of our groups and seeing okay who are we not serving as well who's not having as much success in our system and gaps can exist around academic items they can exist around um Behavior Uh discipline referrals gaps can exist around attendance uh needs they can exist for a lot of reasons um and all it really means when people talk about closing gaps is taking a look at who's not being successful and what are we doing um I always like to tell people Equity by helping and supporting others doesn't take away from supporting one group or subset of the of the group doesn't take away from others it's not a pie where if I'm going to give you extra someone else is going to have less it's not like that if you have children in your own family you know our kids all need a little something different from us even though they're all in the same family and demographically they're similar kids but they also have different needs it's about giving each person what they need and if you've ever as a parent been asked by a little kid Mama do you love me more than my brother um it's not about a finite amount of love we have to give to our own children we have enough for everybody and so I think helping to um get that idea across that it's not about taking from some to give to others it's about making sure everyone's being successful and when we are putting extra attention into a a group or a subgroup of students who's not being a successful we don't stop making sure the others are being challenged and supported where they're at because we don't want them slipping it's not about that and so I think some of the you know the misinformation or or worries that are out there sometimes um there's a lot of buzzwords that fly around out there and I think it's really about for me anyway and I know it is for our our district leaders here because we talk about this all the time it's about making sure we're paying attention this idea of using data all the time okay well some people are upset about something okay who's upset and how many and why and let's find out more about that it's about problem solving the needs paying attention to what our data is showing us and acting on it and putting support plans in place and so when you see your report on the world's best Workforce pieces next month and you see the school Improvement plans that every school has to have you'll notice similarities among them but you'll also notice some differences in strategies because everyone's paying attention to what their own School Community their grade level needs are and um and how we're doing across a lot of different measures and so um I'm going to just challenge everybody to approach this with an open mind and it's okay for everyone to be successful and for us to not only want but expect that everyone's going to be successful and if it's they're not being successful we need to do something differently does that help all right with that I'll be available if there's more questions that come up thanks thank you Christine um so next up we have our action items first up is finance for the acknowledgement of contributions Minnesota State Statute 123b point2 permits school boards to receive for the benefit of the district requests donations or gifts for any proper purpose and apply the
