A
C
You
very
much
at
our
last
board
meeting
Denise
odegaard
was
here
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
steam
education
and
she
focused
in
on
the
a
of
steam.
The
arts
tonight.
Dr.
Jonas,
is
here
to
share
with
us
more
of
the
other
components
of
steam
and
really
highlight
some
of
the
things
that
we
are
doing
around
career
and
tech
edge
education
here
in
the
district
at
the
middle
level
and
at
the
high
school.
So
with
that
I
just
want
to
turn
it
over
to
dr.
Jonas.
You.
D
Well,
good
evening,
everyone
thank
you
again
for
allowing
me
to
have
some
time
in
front
of
you
to
share
a
little
bit
more
about
the
great
opportunities
we
have
in
Fargo,
public
schools
for
Career
and
Technical
Education
and
I
just
wanted
to
walk
through
there,
it's
kind
of
twofold
tonight.
The
first
part
is
going
to
be
just
an
update
on
Fargo
public
schools
and
what's
happening
within
the
buildings
and
then
also
a
little
extension
on
the
Cass
County
CTE
center
and
some
programs
that
students
have
an
opportunity
to
participate
in
as
well.
D
So
the
first
thing
I
think
that
we
always
stop
and
talk
about
is
career
and
technical
education
is
that
opportunity
to
explore,
educate
and
prepare.
So
we
have
career
ready
students
and
you
know
moving
forward.
We
think
about
our
students
at
this
level
is
how
do
we
help
them
think
about
what
do
they
enjoy?
What
are
they
passionate
about
and
then
what
are
they
good
at
and
how
do
they
actually
recognize
those
skills
as
they
move
through
elementary
middle
school
and
high
school?
D
As
we
know,
the
career
choices
are
vast
and
their
ever-changing,
so
along
the
way,
I
think
we
always
think
about
how
do
we
look
at
our
students
and
help
them
find
the
pathway
that
works
for
them
and
not
for
their
friends
or
their
parents,
but
for
them,
and
so
we
think
about
that
as
we
work
on
career
and
technical
education
and
career
development
I'm
going
to
click
through
these
real
quick.
But
when
we
talk
about
characteristics
of
a
high-quality
CTE
program,
what
we
can
share
with
you
as
nationally
we're
looking
at
our
curriculums.
D
Are
they
aligned
to
standards
just
like
our
core
academics
and
do
they
align
with
common
core?
Our
biggest
partnership
is
our
business
industry.
We
are
looking
at
them
to
tell
us
what
is
the
need
for
the
future
and
how
do
we
help
our
kids
get
there
and
then
for
us
is
to
think
about
what
are
the
pathways
like
I
said
there
are
students
that
might
choose
military.
There
are
students
at
the
career
pathway.
They're
looking
at
is
a
four-year
degree.
Some
require
a
two-year
degree.
D
Some
are
worker,
apprenticeships
and
valuing
all
of
those
pathways
is
important
for
us
to
think
about.
We
want
them
to
be
able
to
apply
skills
to
show
what
they
can
do
and
we
want
them
to
integrate
academics
into
that
project
based
learning
technology
in
our
labs
is
a
huge
enhancement
to
help
our
students
have
the
real
experience
in
the
classroom.
D
We
want
our
students
to
learn,
not
just
be
there
and
we
want
them
to
have
an
experience
that
looks
like
the
workforce
that
they
might
enter
in
and
finally,
the
big
part
that
we're
talking
about
with
our
community
partnerships
is
the
4
c's
and
the
idea
that
soft
skills
aren't
just
soft.
They
are
hard
skills.
We
need
you
to
show
up
on
time,
be
responsible,
take
on
leadership
roles,
be
able
to
get
along
and
communicate,
and
those
are
now
becoming
our
hard
skills
for
the
future
of
our
workforce
in
Fargo
public
schools.
D
We
are
so
appreciative
to
be
a
part
of
your
strategic
plan
and
when
we
look
at
where
we
fit
into
this
picture,
we
are
a
part
of
student
achievement
and
growth.
We
want
our
students
to
be
a
part
of
this
conversation
in
CTE,
so
we
are
working
on
curriculum
frameworks
for
all
of
our
courses,
which
is
kind
of
undertaking,
because
we
have
around
65
courses
and
about
8
different
programs
work
with
we
were
looking
at.
D
How
do
we
assess
those
students
to
know
their
learning
and
again
integrating
21st
century
skills
and
our
baseline
for
making
this
work
come
to
fruition
is
through
our
professional
learning
communities
and
some
extra
curriculum
writing
time
in
the
summer
or
throughout
the
school
year
advisory
committees.
We
are
a
part
of
the
community
outreach
and
communication
to
the
community.
We
have
advisory
committees
for
all
of
our
programs.
We
work
with
our
business
partners
to
set
up
job
shadows.
We
try
to
incorporate
some
enhanced
work
experiences.
D
Our
true
ultimate
goal
is
to
have
students
be
able
to
have
maybe
an
internship
by
the
time
they
are
senior
another
component.
A
part
of
the
strategic
plan
is
our
involvement
with
steam
and
for
us
what
is
steam?
It
encompasses
a
lot
of
those
acronyms
between
science,
stem
art,
technology,
engineering,
arts
and
math.
So
there's
a
broad
spectrum.
We
think
about
it
as
core
applications,
so
applying
at
academics,
integrated
learning,
so
maybe
you're
doing
math
within
your
construction
project,
we're
thinking
about
it
as
a
problem.
What
is
the
problem
and
how
do
we
solve
it?
D
How
do
we
think,
through
a
process,
the
engineering
design
process
from
start
to
finish
or
redesign
creativity
is
demonstrated
in
all
this
process
and
then
finally,
the
last
component
is
technology
to
make
it
a
tool
that
we
can
use
to
make
a
product.
So
those
are
pieces
of
steam
that
are
in
within
all
of
our
courses
or
a
majority
of
our
courses
and
we'll
see
that
anywhere
from
our
you
know,
very
engineering
courses
and
project
lead
the
way
to
faxed
information,
tech,
construction,
automotive,
Health,
Sciences.
It's
it's
across
the
board
in
our
career
tech
courses.
D
Last
time,
when
I
met
with
you,
we
talked
and
have
a
presentation
from
our
7th
grade:
students
or
8th
grade
students
on
the
design
and
modeling
for
Project
Lead,
the
Way
and,
on
the
left
hand,
side
are
some
of
the
units
that
they
were
involved
with
first
semester
and
second
semester.
Apples,
7th
and
8th
grade
and
first
semester
went,
went
well,
but
now
they've
had
a
chance.
Do
the
curriculum
one
more
time
and
it's
getting
better
moving
forward.
We
will
leap
into
the
automation
robotics
for
our
eighth
grade
and
in
that
particular
semester
course.
D
Our
eighth
grade
students
will
learn
about
what
is
automation,
what
our
robotics
water
mechanical
systems.
How
do
we
take
in
code
a
brick
and
make
this
mechanical
machine
now
run
and
function
like
a
computer
or
like
a
machine,
and
so
we'll
start
that
next
semester
fall
semester,
so
that's
kind
of
just
elite
moving
forward
they'll
still
integrate
some
of
their
design
units
by
developing
a
co2
car
and
influencing
some
of
their
current
units
when
they
have
some
extra
time?
D
Well,
that's
going
to
happen
moving
forward
in
this
strategic
plan.
We
talk
about
Cole,
curriculars
and
I.
Actually,
sorry
I
had
to
update
this
photo
for
just
CTE
I
took
out
the
baseball
player,
which
was
probably
mr.
Lutz's
son,
maybe
no
I'm
playing
baseball
and
I
put
in
today
I
was
at
Cheyenne
high
school,
which
was
a
neutral
site
for
the
culinary
arts,
competition
and
Davies.
Had
three
teams
there
was
a
team
from
devils
lake
and
a
team
from
Minot
and
they
were
over
showing
off
their
culinary
skills.
D
So
I
was
like
Top
Chef
and
that
was
through
our
co-curricular
and
through
FCCLA
and
I
thought.
That
was
just
a
great
opportunity
to
to
let
you
know
that
beyond
the
athletics
we
have
deca,
FBLA,
FCCLA
skillsusa
and
a
robotics
that
helps
our
students,
take
what's
in
the
classroom
and
extend
it
beyond
the
school
day
and
there's
a
lot
of
leadership
and
competition
rolls
in
that
opportunity.
So
that's
supporting
the
strategic
plan
as
well.
D
Skillsusa
is
a
student
organization
for
our
trade
in
industry,
so
construction,
automotive,
welding,
automated
manufacturing
and
actually
Health
Sciences
fits
under
that
as
well.
They
have
a
regular
competition
and
there's
a
lot
of
scholarships
at
the
national
level.
If
students
successfully
place
at
the
national
level.
D
Those
are
the
main
four
goals
that
Ryan,
Pierce
and
I
have
been
working
right.
Pierce
is
a
CTE
curriculum
facilitator
this
year
and
we've
been
working
on
those
four
goals,
specifically
with
our
staff,
but
then
along
the
way.
We
look
at
our
positive
school
culture.
We
are
CTE
for
all
students
and,
if
you're
a
non-traditional
student
helping
our
students
see
that
if
you're
a
female,
you
can
be
a
diesel
mechanic
or,
if
you're,
a
male,
it's
okay
to
be
a
nurse.
D
So
we
talk
a
lot
about
that
and
then
also
looking
at
the
pathways
is
important
for
all
students
when
we
look
at
resources
and
planning.
The
budget,
of
course,
is
a
conversation
this
time
of
the
year
quality
instructors,
safe
environments
and
high-tech
equipment.
We
are
more
expensive
to
operate,
but
the
whole
goal
is
to
provide
that
real
work
experience
in
a
safe
experience
and,
finally,
our
continuous
improvement.
We
are
looking
for
student
growth.
D
So
that's
how
we
relate
to
our
strategic
plan
and
Fargo,
as
you
can
see
up
on
the
board.
It's
quite
a
variety
of
programming
that
we
have
available
up
in
the
left-hand
side
is
the
automotive
program
itself
and
they
are
building
a
car
right
now
on
their
shop
and
that's
the
car
they're
building
through
skillsusa,
pretty
cool,
very
creative,
a
lot
of
steam
going
on
it's
actually
a
real
engine,
but
it's
a
steam
project
when
we
look
in
the
middle
our
construction
program.
D
Obviously
that
speaks
volumes
because
you
can
see
it
outside
of
the
schools
down
the
bottom.
Our
automated
manufacturing
program
I've
just
been
so
impressed
with
how
students
take
their
drawings
and
turn
it
into
a
code,
and
they,
you
know,
turn
it
into
metal
work
and
they
actually
build
the
trailer.
You
know
so
it's
it's
a
big
production
process,
Cisco
Networking,
culinary
marketing
and
business
finance.
All
of
these
programs
are
within
the
three
high
schools
in
Fargo
public
schools.
D
D
B
D
Still
having
conversations,
we've
kind
of
skipped
into
another
conversation
right
now
with
a
city
project
and
we
will
be
working
with
the
her
Dina
Academy
and
so
in
this
example,
habitat
is
still
fundraising
for
their
homes.
So
every
time
they
build
a
home
there
they're
needing
to
fundraise.
For
it
the
city
had
funding,
but
the
project
was
too
costly
for
us
to
actually
build
this
year.
D
So
we
were
trying
to
find
a
way
to
actually
build
the
garage
in
the
summer
and
reduce
our
labor
costs,
and
we
found
out
that
M
state
has
a
high
school
two-week
program
that
they
offer
to
students
and
so
working
with
the
Home
Builders,
Association
and
homebuilders
care
and
the
her
Dina
Academy.
We
will
actually
build
that
garage
in
the
summer
and
then
build
the
house
next
year
and
then
we're
we're
going
to
finalize
that
plan
now
in
April
and
then
we'll
start
working
on
habitat
house
potentially
for
the
following
year
and.
B
If
I
might
continue
I'm
are,
is
it
a
mixture
going
forward
of
building
on
location,
or
is
it
still
some
built
to
move
to
sites
or
houses
it?
Because
I'm
wondering
this
is
down
the
road
if
they
are
building
houses
to
be
moved?
If
there's
any
consideration
of
not
a
hundred
foot
lot
style
house,
but
a
50
foot
lot
style
house,
so
they
can
actually
move
them
into
North
Fargo,
for
example,
where,
where
the
Lots
aren't
wide
enough
for
a
Rambler
type
home.
So
I'm
just
curious
about
that.
We.
D
E
D
Felt
with
great
question:
yes,
there
is
that
there's
a
national
acte
which
is
Association
for
Career
and
Technical
Education,
and
so
there
is
a
national
organization
and
within
each
program
area
teachers
have
an
opportunity
to
be
a
member
of
their
own
business
and
marketing
or
there's
actually
trade
in
industry.
So
there's
also
sub
professional
organizations
for
our
teaching
staff.
I
went
to
the
national
conference
this
year
in
New,
Orleans
and
there's
a
leadership
strand
and
then
their
strands
for
family,
consumer
science
and
all
of
the
program
areas.
A
D
Have
more
to
go
chill?
Center!
Ok,
if
you
don't
mind
cruise
forward
in
2014,
when
I
came
on
board
and
we
made
the
transition,
the
idea
was
from
the
leaders
in
the
community
to
start
to
partner.
These
programs
are
great
experiences
for
students,
but
sometimes
they're
a
challenge.
They're,
sometimes
they're,
more
costly
and
enrollments
our
electives,
and
they
go
up
and
down
a
little
bit
and
also
finding
instructors
can
make
a
challenging
so
working
together.
We
can
be
sometimes
more
efficient
to
provide
these
opportunities.
D
Fargo
public,
northern
Cass
and
West
Fargo
public
schools
started
the
initiative,
and
fortunately,
this
year
central
Cass
has
joined
us
and
we'll
be
sending
schools
starting
this
summer,
and
this
fall
to
partner
with
our
career
technical
education
center.
Probably
the
biggest
conversation
I
continue
to
explain
as
what
is
a
virtual
center.
We
are
a
center
because
we
have
three
or
more
schools
as
recognized
by
the
state
of
North
Dakota
and
the
Department
of
career-tech
ed.
We
have
to
have
a
three
to
BS
center.
D
It
is
multiple
sites
versus
many
of
the
original
career
centers
with
one
location
and
students
transported
there.
So,
there's
a
variety
of
models.
This
is
the
model
we're
using
right
now.
Distance
delivery
is
probably
a
mechanism
to
help
compensate
for
travel,
and
then
we
have
a
governing
board.
So
on
on
our
governing
board,
we
have
one
board
member,
which
is
Dave
Paulsen,
who
comes
to
our
governing
board
and
we
meet
four
times
a
year,
and
then
we
have
an
advisory
council
which
dr.
D
gross
hits
on
as
a
representative,
and
then
we
have
principles
that
meet
twice
a
year
to
help
us
do
logistics
with
courses.
So
that's
where
we're
at
with
the
model
and
our
schools
just
spring
out
from
a
hub,
and
we
look
at
what
programs
we
have
available
and
how
can
we
be
efficient
in
sharing
those
programs?
D
So
when
we
move
forward,
I
think
you
know
really
thinking
about
what
our
goals
are.
We
want
again
prepare
students
for
emerging
careers.
We
want
them
to
be
career,
ready
and
college
ready.
Expanding
and
sharing
is
different,
I
mean
even
though
Fargo
public
does
that
within
the
three
high
schools.
This
just
has
a
bigger
arena
to
work
with
and
our
rural
schools
may
not
have
access.
So
it's
really
a
benefit
to
them
in
our
Cass
County
region.
D
We
work
as
far
as
looking
at
the
state
and
the
regional
workforce
and
we
are
leveraging
dollars
by
the
center
concept.
We
can
compensate
this
year.
We
are
receiving
seventy-four
percent
reimbursement,
we're
in
more
comprehensive
programs.
They
received
seventeen
percent
or
twenty-seven
percent
reimbursement.
So
as
a
center,
we
are
able
to
kind
of
capitalize
on
some
state
funds
a
little
differently
again
teacher
sharing.
It's
been
great.
D
When
we
look
around
where
our
programs
are
at
under
the
virtual
center,
we
have
five
programs
right
now.
The
welding
technology
is
actually
at
the
skills
and
Technology
Center,
and
that
program
has
really
taken
off
this
year.
We
had
you
know
we
had
17
students
in
the
class
we
had
four
from
northern
Cass.
Next
year's
requests
were
at
28,
and
that
was
just
at
North
High,
so
that
was
a
huge
leap
and
we
have
a
health
sciences
program
at
at
West
Fargo
high.
D
D
Just
a
fast
look
at
the
diesel
shop.
Some
people
ask:
what
does
a
space
look
like
I
think
you
could
always
have
more
space
when
you're
working
with
such
a
large
program,
but
we
are
really
fortunate
with
the
state
funding
to
be
able
to
buy
some
equipment
and
tools
it.
You
know
it's
a
big
purchase
and
our
business
partners
have
been
fantastic
to
bring
in
equipment
when
we
need
it
and
then
off
to
the
side.
We
have
a
classroom
as
well.
So
there's
a
combination
of
both
for
lab
and
learning.
D
And
finally,
the
last
thing
under
the
virtual
centers
we'd
really
try
to
look
at
is
how
do
we
look
at
the
big
picture
for
kids
by
doing
some
enhancement
activities?
So
first,
lego
league
is
one
of
our
big
visions
to
help
students
in
the
area
have
a
opportunity
to
learn
about
robotics
girls.
In
aviation
we
took
a
trip
to
grand
forks
and
we'll
have
some
more
events
related
to
girls
in
aviation
moving
forward
girls
in
engineering.
D
It
was
a
success
with
NDSU
250
students
participated
that
day,
60
from
Fargo
and
there's
a
lot
of
interest
as
far
as
making
it
a
bigger
event
and
then,
finally,
in
the
summer,
we'll
have
our
metro
area
Tech
camp
and
just
really
helping
our
kids
focus
on
technology
for
the
future.
So
we
stay
involved
as
a
center
to
help
just
bridge
for
all
of
our
schools.
D
So
those
are
some
enhancement
activities
that
we
do
through
the
virtual
center.
So
when
I
kind
of
just
recap,
our
five
programs
would
be
egg
aviation,
diesel,
Health,
Sciences
and
welding
and
then
moving
into
information
technologies
and
that's
kind
of
where
the
center
is
at
right
now
and
I
guess,
moving
forward,
we'll
see
how
things
unfold.
F
President,
it's
been
so
much
fun
working
with
Denise
this
year,
I've
been
on
the
board
for
a
year
and
in
that
time,
she's
added
central
Cass
and
diesel
technology
and
she's
assembled
an
incredible
staff.
They've
got
they've
got
a
hospital
ward,
basically
set
up
in
Cheyenne
high
school,
which
apparently
was
something
to
put
together,
because
they've
got
what
the
beds
were
like
2,000
pounds,
and
you
had
no
way
to
get
him
in
there.
You
brought
him
in
through
a
window
or
something
didn't
you.
It
would
mean.
F
Was
listening
to
the
one
of
the
guys
explaining
it?
It's
just
it's
a
real
real
gym
to
have
this!
This
career-tech
had
center
because
the
kids
are
getting
opportunities
that
we
just
simply
can't
we
couldn't
give
them
as
a
single
school
and
just
kudos
to
dr.
Jonas
she's.
She
packs
28
hours
and
every
day,
she's
really
doing
an
incredible
job.
A
Thank
you.
Anyone
else,
I
have
a
question.
This
is
so
fantastic.
Have
a
question
about
you
touched
on
it
briefly.
The
school
culture
and
in
the
buildings
I
would
happen
to
be
talking
about
this
with
my
son
just
last
night
and
I
was
kind
of
bragging
up
the
whole
emphasis
on
all
these
different
pathways
for
kids
now
and
how
they're
all
valued-
and
you
know
my
son
who's
four
years
out
of
high
school,
ended
up
in
a
field.
A
You
know
massage
therapy
one
of
his
his
roommate
is
a
gaming
designer
and
his
other
friend
is
an
electrician,
none
of
whom
took
the
traditional
college
route
and
back
when
they
were
in
school.
It
still
felt,
like
you
know,
there's
the
college
lane
and
there's
the
loser
lane
and
it
seems
like
you're
really
addressing
that
that
they're
all
valued.
Could
you
speak
to
that
a
little
bit
that
change
in
culture?
That
starts
really
young.
D
You
know
it's
interesting
because
we
have
that
conversation
a
lot
and
I
think
the
thing
is,
how
do
we
value
every
occupation
from
the
maintenance
staff
to
the
doctor
in
the
hospital,
because
all
of
those
rules
are
important?
I
get
a
school.
If
we
didn't
have
our
admin
assistants,
how
would
we
even
get
our
work
done
in
our
offices
and
with
all
the
teachers?
D
It's
such
a
team
effort,
but
there
is
a
there
always
has
been
a
little
bit
of
a
stigma
about
what
is
and
what
isn't
the
way
to
go
and-
and
sometimes
we
use
the
word
just
they
just
are
going
to
your
school
they're
they're,
only
getting
it
to
your
degree.
So
as
we
move
forward
career
planning,
we
really
have
to
be.
You
know.
Conscientious
about
you
know.
Every
job
is
important,
because
if
you
have
a
I'm
you're
contributing
to
our
community
and
to
society,
and
how
do
we
help?
D
D
You
know
it's
just
important
for
us
to
make
sure
that
we
kind
of
keep
that
at
the
forefront
when
we
talk
to
our
parents
and
our
talk
to
our
students
and
I
think
that's
a
big
part
of
developing
the
pathways
so
that
we
can
share
there's
a
purpose
for
why
you
are
good
at
what
you
do
and
what
you
want
to
do
and
how
to
get
there
and
it's
okay,
that
it
doesn't
look
the
same.
It's
not
all
requiring
a
four-year
degree,
but
some
do
so
just
be
ready
to
think
about
that.
D
A
H
You
know:
we've
reviewed
several
policies
over
the
last
year
or
two
and
I
think
this
is
kind
of
just
a
follow-up
policy
that
we
did
not
have,
and
so
we've
worked
on
this
one
I
bring
it
to
you
just
to
your
attention
that
we're
adding
this
to
our
list
of
policies.
It's
a
power
differential
relationship
in
the
workplace
and
something
that
I
think
we
needed
to
have
on
the
books
really
is
all
about
supervisor
and
subordinates
and
work
relationships.
H
If
we
ever
have
that
situation
going
on
what
are
the
details
that
and
the
procedures
and
policies
that
we
should
be
following
and
so
I
feel
good
about
all
of
our
employees
and
where
we're
at
with
this,
it's
not
that
we
developed
something,
because
we
thought
we
had
a
problem,
but
I
think
it's
being
proactive
and
just
making
sure
that
these
things
are
spelled
out.
So
I
think
the
policy
is
pretty
be
simple
and
straightforward.
If
anybody
had
any
questions,
I'd
be
more
than
happy
to
answer
those
questions.
This.
A
A
H
Just
one
other
comment
on
policies:
I'm,
currently
developing
a
list
of
policies
that
I
feel
we
need
to
review,
and
so
we'll
be
doing
that
over
the
summer
and
with
the
anticipation
that
in
August
we
bring
those
to
you
to
show
you
what
we've
done.
I
want
to
get
into
a
regular
rotation
of
policy
review,
and
so
then
going
through
and
looking
at
what
I
think
is
next
on
the
docket.
So
we'll
be
doing
that
in
bringing
it
for.
Thank
you
great.
A
I
President
members
of
the
board,
as
you
are
aware,
we
are
in
the
midst
of
a
remodel
and
addition
to
Eagles
elementary
with
the
opportunity
to
open
that
this
coming
fall.
I
was
over
at
the
construction
meeting
today
and
that
project
is
moving
along
very
nicely.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
it's
in
that
stage,
where
weekly
at
construction
meetings
even
daily,
there's
significant
changes
that
happen.
I
When
you
start
to
do
the
interior
painting
and
you
put
the
drop
ceilings
in
and
all
those
things
it
really
starts
to
take
shape
in
a
hurry,
typically
with
construction
of
new
facilities,
especially
for
schools,
we
like
to
get
certificate
of
occupancy
by
July.
First,
we
don't
see
any
reason
why
we
shouldn't
be
on
that
schedule.
I
As
a
matter
of
fact,
we
reviewed
with
the
construction
manager
today
the
progress
of
ed
Clapp
elementary
at
this
same
stage
a
year
ago,
and
we
feel
that
we
are
well
ahead
of
that
schedule
and,
of
course
part
of
that
is.
We
were
in
essence,
building
half
a
school.
We
were
remodeling
the
other
portion,
and
so
we
gained
some
efficiencies
there
and
some
time,
but
it's
all
systems
go.
It
looks
great
in
there.
I
It
really
resembles
a
school
much
differently
than
it
did
when
we
broke
ground
and
feel
like
there's
no
concerns
with
our
goal
to
have
that
ready
for
the
fall,
so
I
think
you'll
be
very
happy
with
it.
When
you
see
it
when
the
time
comes,
that
it
seems
to
make
sense
to
do
a
tour.
We
certainly,
as
with
our
other
buildings,
would
make
arrangements
for
any
of
you
who
would
like
to
do
that.
You
will
see
a
lot
of
similarities
in
the
new
addition
to
that
which
we
opened
a
dead
clap.
I
We
used
much
of
the
same
in
the
instructional
area,
the
commons,
the
office,
it's
almost
a
replica
with
a
little
smaller
footprint,
and
so
yeah
we're
just
very
happy
with
the
progress
and
things
are
moving
along,
great
and
I.
Think
it's
just
important
for
you
to
know
kind
of
status
wise
where
we're
at
with
that
Thank.
A
I
As
of
today,
your
board
president
and
I
closed
on
this
project
with
the
all
the
parties
last
week,
and
so
we
have
received
payment
in
full
for
the
purchase
and
relocation
and
we
are
just
awaiting
the
frost
to
leave
the
ground.
So
we
can
open
up
that
land
and
start
the
project
on
40th
avenue
south
a
little
update
stage.
One
really
is
going
to
be.
We
will
be
seen
a
portion
of
the
current
warehouse
facility
being
tore
down
the
back.
I
Third,
if
you
haven't
been
in
this
area
lately,
the
former
shakeys
location
is
now
no
longer
that
has
been
torn
down.
It's
our
understanding
that
they
will
move
on
to
the
Howard
Johnson
and
then
come
to
our
building,
so
they're
kind
of
moving
their
way
north,
and
so
we
suspect
they
are
in
there
right
now,
taking
out
duct
work,
etc.
I
Cabinetry
that
means
to
be
removed
before
they
come
in
and
take
that
back
third
off,
but
we
suspect
that
could
happen
within
the
next
days
or
weeks
as
they
just
move
from
building
to
building
coming
north,
all
of
which
we
expected
and
certainly
know
that
that
would
be
happening.
The
next
piece,
then,
is,
as
you
know,
we
a
few
meetings
back.
I
We
awarded
bids
for
the
operation
center
on
40th
avenue
south,
and
we
will
be
the
job
trailer
for
Gertz
construction
services
is
over
there
and
we
will
be
opening
up
that
ground
as
soon
as
possible
this
spring
and
getting
started
with
that.
We
feel
very
optimistic
if
we
get
a
good
spring,
because
we
are
using
prefab
construction
with
a
lot
of
the
walls
in
that
building.
I
We
cannot
move
until
we
finished
next
school
year,
so
the
time
frame
would
be
to
get
that
moved
in
as
soon
as
the
school
year
is
done
and
used
early
summer
to
get
in
there
get
everything
tested,
make
sure
everything
is
working
appropriately
in
the
kitchen
and
ready
to
go.
Our
hopes
is
that
much
of
the
rest
of
the
building
we
can
be
moving
in
sooner
but
we'll
see
what
happens.
I
mean
with
construction
every
time
you
say
we'll
get
in
sooner.
I
I
I
B
I
Madam
President
members
of
the
board,
so
the
combination
of
the
diversion
Authority
and
the
city
purchased
that
entire
facility
for
us
and
and
right
now
all
we
know
for
certain
is
that
they
will
be
removing
the
back.
Third
of
that
they'll
be
putting
up
a
temporary
wall
through
the
drive-thru,
and
we
will
be
continuing
to
use
that
until
our
new
facility
is
finished
once
we
and
we
we're
leasing
back
that
space
from
the
city
for
a
nominal
fee.
I
Once
we
vacate
that
completely
I
do
not
have
confirmation
as
to
what
the
plans
are
for
that
facility.
We
well
no
longer
own
it.
It
will
be
I'd
have
to
look
at
the
exact
plat
of
the
land.
I
believe
what
we
will
own
will
be
right
up
to
the
drive-through
that
goes
behind
the
district
office
or
the
drive.
That
then
leads
to
the
leads
to
the
credit
union,
but
the
land
that
the
building
sits
on
and
the
land
and
the
building
itself
will
be
the
property
of
the
purchaser
and
their
plans
for
it.
H
I
And
actually
that
had
some
twists
and
turns
originally,
they
were
going
to
carve
out
that
little
square
that
the
generator
sits
on
we
were
going
to
retain
ownership.
What's
happening
now
is
part
of
an
easement
is
that
they
will
own
that
property
they've
granted
an
easement
to
us
for
our
generators
sit
on
it
and
in
the
event
that
somewhere
down
the
road
something
happens
with
that
property.
They
will
assist
us
in
relocating
that
janitor
generator.
Yes,.
A
H
Correct
we
had
our
third
meeting
last
night,
we
had
again
very
good
attendance,
only
a
couple
people
who
could
not
be
with
us.
We
put
our
groups
to
work
last
night
working
in
themed
areas
where
we
had
received
feedback
from
them
from
the
previous
meeting,
and
so
I
asked
Rachel
to
put
together
a
an
activity
called
SWAT
strengths,
weaknesses,
opportunities
and
threats,
and
we
had
combined
those
into
five
different
areas.
H
Curriculum
standard
of
effort
was
one
area
class,
size,
transportation
and
field
trips,
21st
century
skills,
technology,
Kali
college
or
career
readiness,
and
the
other
group
was
educating
our
stakeholders,
and
so
we
spent
the
evening
talking
about
those
five
particular
areas.
We're
collecting
that
feedback
right
now
and
what
I'm
going
to
do
with
that
feedback
is
put
it
together
in
a
in
a
document
that
I
can
send
to
you.
So
you
can
have
access
to
that
to
see
some
of
the
responses.
H
That
certainly
will
not
be
the
last
report
that
I
give
you
from
this
group,
but
it
will
give
you
an
update
as
to
what
are
the
ongoing
conversations
again
very
impressed
with
the
group
of
that
we
have
I.
Think
we
have
a
lot
of
people
who
are
walking
away
now,
saying:
okay,
I
get
it
and
really
never
understood
the
complexity
and
the
just
the
the
depth
of
the
district
and
how
big.
We
really
are
in
all
the
different
pieces
and
parts
that
go
with
that.
J
A
In
second,
all
in
favor,
say
aye
aye
opposed
same
consent.
Agenda
items
are
approved,
there's
only
one
business
item,
the
district
calendar
monitoring.
Thank
you.
Those
of
you
who
were
able
to
fill
this
out
and
at
this
point
I,
would
ask
if
anyone
has
any
question
or
any
comments
that
they
would
like
to
make
in
addition
to
what
was
written
down
Rebecca.
K
K
K
So
I
really
apologize,
but
I
would
have
rated
it
in
compliance
and
I
just
wanted
to
I
think
what
I'll
do
I
have
some
comments,
but
there
in
about
five
different
areas
and
maybe
their
their
suggestions
similar
to
what
has
already
been
indicated
in
the
areas.
I'll
just
say
what
areas
they're
in
and
then
maybe
what
I
should
do
is
just
type
up
my
comments
and
and
I
don't
know
if
they
should
forward
them
to
you
and
Marie,
but
I
ultimately
like
dr.
K
groves,
probably
to
take
a
take
a
look
at
them,
but
they're
in
the
areas
of
collaboration
in
regard
to
district,
so
I
guess
I
know
it
seems
like
at
least
from
dr.
gross.
What
you've
said.
Fargo
usually
takes
the
lead
on
putting
the
calendar
together
in
front
of
West
Fargo,
but
I
don't
so
I
don't
really
know
if
we
have
any
issues
there
or
not.
K
But
if
we
you
know,
if
there's
anything
more,
that
we
need
to
explore
their
some
of
the
comments
regarding
the
start
and
the
stop
times
of
schools
or
of
classes
and
when
kids
learn
the
best,
and
you
know
any
more
research
that
we
have
on
that
and
and
what
we
can
do
about
it.
I
know
that
the
middle
schools
start
at
eight,
forty
and
850
and
I.
Think
that's
every
day
of
the
week
from
what
I
remember
dropping
my
kids
off
at
school.
So
I,
you
know
I.
K
What
are
we
doing
in
terms
of
those
accommodations
to
if
that?
If
research
actually
does
show
that
kids
learn
better,
retain
more
with
a
later
start,
I
think
that's
not
a
calendar
issue,
though
it's
not.
It
was
mentioned
in
here
in
terms
of
for
some
reason,
in
terms
of
our
schedule
of
our
day
and
I.
Just
oh
I,
don't
think
it's
a
calendar
issue
either,
but
I
just
noticed
it
was
like
was
mentioned
Colonel
and
then
staff
development.
K
It
was
interesting
to
sit
on
the
calendar
committee
again
and
the
comments
that
were
shared
from
staff
about
professional
development
and
at
least
what
I
gather
seemed
to
be
more
most
receptive
to
staff
development
earlier
in
the
day
versus
later
in
the
day
and
earlier
in
the
week
versus
later
in
the
week.
So
the
idea
of
being
fresh
for
learning
so
I
wanted
to
pass
that
on,
and
the
scheduling
block
days
of
breaks
like
the
spring
break.
K
So
the
longer
breaks
I
know
that
we
had
a
survey
that
went
out
to
staff
and
and
parents
last
year.
I
think
it
was
right
and
it
basically
came
back
as
overall
it
was
kind
of
a
fifth,
almost
a
50-50
in
terms
of
there
really
wasn't
an
overarching
preference
and
so
what
we
did
decide
to
do
to
address.
That
was
to
try
to
please
half
of
the
people
half
of
the
time,
and
so
this
year
there
isn't
a
long
break
next
year.
K
There
is
a
week-long
break
and
we'll
see
still
for
the
17
18
calendar,
how
how
that
comes
back
once
the
PTA
reviews
it
and
comes
to
us,
but
I,
guess,
I
I
know
one
of
the
the
comments
on
the
compliance
issue.
I
think
it
talks
about
that
the
superintendent.
What
is
it
say?
The
superintendent
may
not
fail
to
consider
scheduling,
block
days
and
I.
K
Think
I
guess
my
own
opinion
is
that
that
that
leaves
it
up
to
interpretation
in
terms
of
what
those
block
days
are
we
put
a
survey
out
and
we
asked
like
we
said
parents
and
staff
what
the
preferences
would
be.
The
information
came
back,
at
least
at
that
time,
5050
and
so
I
think
we
tried
to
do
as
a
calendar
committee
meet
meet
kind
of
the
recommendations
from
the
survey.
So
those
are
my
those
are
the
comments
that
I
would
have
put
down
and
thank
you
well.
B
B
L
M
A
Yes,
motion,
passes
and
I
don't
mean
to
start
any
sort
of
new
late
comments
run.
As
always.
We
hope
to
get
these
in
under
an
Marie's
deadlines.
We're
not
adding
things
that,
after
the
fact
board
reports,
Dinah
you're
the
most
recently
returned
person
to
town.
You
can
start
as
the
result
of
that
I.
Don't.
K
J
K
M
Just
a
reminder:
plantings
meeting
next
tuesday
in
this
room
at
seven
thirty,
and
for
those
of
you
on
planning,
we
have
a
time
certain
meeting,
because
governance
is
going
to
stir
it
at
eight-thirty
that
day,
so
planning
has
to
wrap
up
its
work
in
the
60
minutes,
so
we're
going
to
start
on
time.
Thank.
A
B
K
Well,
we
are
meeting
we
are
meeting
like
we
said
on
the
twenty-fifth,
but
we
met
most
recently
too
we're
continuing
the
work
on
on
that
GP
and
we
we
still
need
to
get
in
on
the
25th.
So
we
need
to
get
into
the
liaison
role.
Discussion
to
we've
been
analyzing
some
of
the
earlier
language
in
that
GP
and
which
has
to
do
with
the
process
of
school
board
election
for
say
for
President
and
Vice.
K
A
A
A
Thank
you
Jim.
Maybe
your
report.
Okay,
we
go.
We
threw
it
back
to
Rebecca,
it
got
me
all
thrown
so
okay,
so
we
know
all
the
action
that's
happening
on
the
29th
and
everything
else
is
pretty
self-explanatory.
I
would
call
your
attention
to
April
eighteenth
that
is
as
mandatory
as
we
get
in
making
sure
that
everyone
is
on
hand
for
that
lunch
meeting
with
the
advance
ed
accreditation
folks,
who
will
be
here
for
the
purpose
of
meeting
with
us,
so
make
sure
that
you
shuffle
your
calendar
to
make
that
happen.
A
There's
some
homework
due
and
another
reminder
that
we
have
your
second
round
of
liaison
school
visits
that
will
be
due
Thank
You
Ann
Marie
for
sending
out
that
email,
along
with
the
forum,
so
make
sure
you
get
those
scheduled
and
completed
by
the
21st
and
Ann
Marie.
Are
you
waiting
on
anything
in
particular
from
board
members,
or
we
pretty
much
ready
to
go?
Do
you
not.
J
At
this
time,
I'll
continue
communicate
with
you
about
that
accreditation
visit
with
more
details
about
that
interview
process
and
then
also
just
note
that
we
have
scheduled
the
opening
event
for
Eagles
and
that's
obviously
quite
a
ways
out
in
September,
but
just
in
case
you
want
to
get
that
on
your
schedules.
Now,
that's
at
the
bottom
of
the
list.
There
great.
