There
we
go
now
at
claire
barton,
they're,
getting
their
holiday,
boutique,
ready,
kids,
make
and
sell
to
the
public
soap
jewelry
baked
goods
slime
a
different
thing
from
baked
goods.
That's
so
far
and
they'll
keep
adding
to
the
repertoire
as
they
go
and
I'm
sure
we'll
get
more
information
when
we
get
closer
but
coinciding
with
the
boutique.
Is
the
holiday
store
and
it's
a
one
dollar
store
the
kids
can
buy,
presents
for
their
family
people
and
that's
december
8th
when
the
stores
will
be
open.
A
F
I
also
brought
darlene
with
me
too.
We
do
a
lot
of
work
together
and
and
event
planning
and
all
kinds
of
things
which
you'll
hear
about
more
in
in
our
presentation
so
and
the
grant
that
we
work
with
it's
a
consortium
grant
between
fargo
and
west
fargo,
public
schools
and
that's
our
title.
Six
grand
and
I
work
directly
to
with
bob
gross
and
alan
berg
out
of
west
fargo
public
schools.
F
F
F
How
students
get
qualified
for
our
program
is
through
just
self-identification
of
being
native
american.
We
serve
any
of
our
native
american
students.
Currently
we
have
about
470
73
kids
in
our
fargo
school
district
and
about
300
in
west
fargo
schools,
but
for
the
student
count,
that's
a
little
bit
different
when
it
comes
to
funding
we're
only
able
to
count
kids
that
we
have
a
506
form
on
file
for
and
that
are
compliant
in
our
office,
which
means
that
we
have
their
tribal
enrollment
number.
F
It
could
be
their
child,
the
parent
or
the
grandparents
tribal
enrollment
number,
and
we
can
count
them
for
funding.
So,
for
instance,
we
had
about
a
little
over
700
kids
for
this
school
year,
but
we
were
only
able
to
count.
I
think
the
total
count
for
this
year
was
actually
359
and
that's
how
many
forms
were
compliant
in
our
office.
We
actually
probably
have
about
more,
like
600
forms
collected,
but
a
lot
of
those
forms.
Don't
have
tribal
enrollment
numbers
on
them
and
we
serve
any
student
in
our
program.
F
We
do
that
and
we
end
up
in
a
lot
of
student
meetings
within
the
school
district,
and
we
also
support
our
secondary
caseloads
for
mentoring
as
well.
She
works
directly
with
our
kids
in
the
school
district,
where
we
help
support
outside
of
the
school
day
with
phone
calls
and
and
follow
up
through
home
if
needed.
F
F
And
you
know
our
staff
here
we
serve
on
a
lot
of
different
community
committees
within
our
community.
Whenever
we've
been
asked
to,
you
know,
work
on
a
community
event,
we'll
coordinate
with
other
native
american
programs,
but
I
I'm
not
quite
sure
how
many
committees
I'm
sitting
on
right
now.
I
haven't
counted
them
up,
but
I
am
pretty
sure
it's
like
around
five
or
six.
So.
F
F
Every
spring
we
hold
a
reading
program
event
and
it's
to
encourage
reading
throughout
the
summer,
it's
to
help
kind
of
bridge
that
gap,
and
so
we
distribute
books.
We
created
this
program
for
students
and
parents,
so
the
parent
piece
is
giving
them
reading
strategies
and
giving
them
ideas
to
make
reading
fun
with
their
children
and
to
create
that
family
literacy
in
the
home.
F
F
F
They
mentor
mentor
kids
on
that
one-on-one
relationship
and
provide
that
trusting,
trusting
relationship
with
kids
and
what
they
do
is
they'll
look
at
their
school
attendance
and
their
grades.
They'll
pull
up
power
school
and
they
look
at
that
right
away
and
and
that's
and
then
they
go
from
there
with
with
goals
and
all
of
that.
F
We
do
it,
we
do
a
youth
leadership
day
every
spring,
and
so
we
did
get
different
speakers
involved
in
the
in
the
youth
leadership
day.
We
have
so
many
like
I
said
so.
Many
tribes
represented
that
we
try
to
bring
in
different
speakers
across
north
dakota
into
the
program
and
it's
really
team
building
helping
them
to
empower
them
to
take
control
of
their
own
journey
in
life,
and
so
that's
that's
what
that
is,
and
we
usually
involve
grades
six
through
eight.
F
G
Some
of
our
monthly
events
are
planned
for
our
native
american
students.
Are
our
family
fun
night,
our
indigenous
people's
day,
which
we
just
had
our
youth
leadership
day?
We
had
our
back
to
school
night
in
september
school
supply
drive
in
august
we
had
regalia
making
classes,
and
our
parent
committee
is
currently
kind
of
working
on
that
right.
Now,
our
winter
gathering,
which
will
be
coming
up
in
december,
graduation
picnic
at
the
end
of
the
year
and
then
our
reading
program,
college
field
trips
and
our
powwows.
F
F
We
had
people
coming
from
turtle,
mountain
and
three
affiliated
tribes
as
well,
that
did
the
flag
presentations
and,
and
then
the
another
really
exciting
component.
To
this
whole
thing,
it
was
just
a
really
full
day.
Yesterday,
I
think
we
worked
14
hours
yesterday.
So
was
the
society
of
children,
book
writers
and
illustrators
chose
us
two
out
of
300
nominees.
F
We
were
selected
as
the
sec
one
or
two
organizations
for
this
year
to
receive
a
donation
of
a
thousand
books
to
distribute
to
our
children,
and
so
they
came
from
california
and
chicago
and
I
believe
new
york
and
they
came
in
and
they
helped
to
distribute
those
books.
Last
night
at
the
pow
wow
and
there's
a
lot
of
books
left
over.
So
we're
excited
that
we
can
also
distribute
those
at
our
upcoming
reading
programs
and
and
then
they
helped
volunteer
and
everything.
They
were
just
really
great
group
of
people.
A
A
Tribal,
so
I
danced
at
these
shoes
they're,
not
the
best
to
dance
in,
but
any
rate
it
was
just.
It
was
really
great
to
be
there
and
be
a
part
of
it
and
see
the
kids,
so
many
kids
as
they
were
doing
the
flag
presentation,
a
variety
of
kids
kept
coming
into
the
gym,
and
just
you
know
just
seeing
the
participation
and
the
energy
was
positive
for
me.
So
I
was
hoping
hopeful
that
it
was
positive
as
well
for
them.
A
I
did
have
a
question
for
you,
or
maybe
you
could
just
it's
not
really
a
question,
but
just
if
you
could
share
a
little
bit
too,
because
there
was
a
an
award
given
yesterday-
and
I
know
it
was
covered
in
the
forum
today-
willard
yellow
bird
received
the
gladys
ray
award
and
I'm
wondering
is
there?
Do
you
have
anything
that
to
share
on
on
that.
F
F
So
it's
to
me
it's
just
such
a
great
honor
for
anyone
that
can
that
gets
that
award
her
vision.
You
know
of
educating
everybody
on
native
american
culture
and
she
just
was
a
very
open
arms
type
person
and
yeah
willard
was
deserving
of
the
award
yesterday.
He's
done
a
lot
in
our
community
sits
on
a
lot
of
committees
and
has
helped
out
quite
a
bit.
So
I
don't
know
if
that
answers.
I.
A
Think
it's
wonderful
that
our
community
has
stepped
up
and
and
now
we
celebrate
indigenous
people's
day,
so
any
rate
it's
the
opportunity
for
more
of
us
to
learn
about
our
native
people.
If,
whether
you're
done
with
your
report
or
not
or
if
people
have
questions,
I
guess
that
was
one
of
your
comments.
You
were
wondering
if
anyone
had
had
questions,
I'm
sure
you're
willing
to
take
them.
A
F
Would
like
to
share
just
real
quickly
that
I
think
is
just
really
good
stuff
going
on
in
our
district
here.
Well,
you
know-
and
these
are
just
numbers
here-
but
you
know
we
served
last
year-
45
kids
in
our
program
for
mentoring
in
fargo
and
about
39
in
west
fargo,
currently
we're
about
the
same
right
now
as
far
as
numbers
go
from
entering
this
year.
F
F
F
So
we
just
did
our
first
session
and
we're
actually
going
to
offer
another
initial
first
session
again,
because
I
think
the
date
that
we
had
kind
of
conflicted
with
some
of
the
teachers
scheduling
for
conferences
and
so
and
we
want
to
get
as
many
teachers
as
we
can
involved
in
this.
So
we
are
going
to
make
another
date
available
for
teachers
that
were
interested
and
couldn't
make
it
the
first
session.
And
then
we
have
it's
a
four
series
class.
A
B
F
They
they
pretty
much
they're,
you
know
doing
their
mentor
mentoring
program
within
the
school
districts
darlene,
and
I
have
a
little
bit
more.
I
feel
like
we
partner
on
a
lot
of
things.
Together,
we
do
a
lot
of
our
event
planning.
As
you
can
see,
we
had
a
full
list
of
events
that
we
do
every
year
and
now,
on
top
of
that,
we're
also
providing
those
professional
development
evenings
and
we're
providing
a
reading
program
event
quarterly.
F
So
we
actually
added
12
nights
into
our
evenings
for
the
school
year,
which
is
quite
a
bit
and
so
darlene,
and
I
pretty
much
do
a
lot
of
the
event,
planning
and
executing
of
those
events
and
and
then
also
connecting
with
elementary
buildings
for
the
home
visits
and
connections
and
then
supporting
the
secondary
caseloads,
because
they
they
can
be
a
lot.
You
know
when
you
have
50
kids
on
a
caseload
for
mentoring
and
you're,
covering
six
different
buildings.
F
Committees
and
I
also
sit
on
the
north
dakota
indian
education,
advisory
council
and
I
go
out
to
bismarck
for
that
and
that's
where
they
bring
tribal
leaders
together
and
they've,
invited
myself
and
chadwick
kramer
from
bismarck
public
schools
to
also
be
a
part
of
that
group.
Since
we
serve
a
lot
of
the
kids
off
the
reservations.
H
F
Yeah,
I
just
wanted
you
guys
to
kind
of
understand,
like
maybe
the
population
that
we
work
with.
We
do
work
a
lot
with
jan
anderson,
but
we
do
have
a
high
population
of
homeless
students
within
our
school
district
and
we
still
also
help
support
that
the
whole
those
homeless,
kids.
But
we
also
like
first
different
resources.
We
go
to
jan,
but
then
we
do
a
lot
of
connecting
too
to
community
for
those
homeless.
Families.
G
F
And
we
get
to
know
a
lot
of
our
families
through
our
cultural
events
and
through
our
home
visits,
maybe
for
everybody's
connected
within
our
community,
so
it
it
really
does
become
a
small
community
after
a
while
and
half
the
time
we
find
out
we're
related
to
them.
So
it's
it's
really
interesting,
like
you
know
how
there's
so
much
extended
family
within
our
community
and
one
of
our
goals.
F
Is
that
the
reason
we
have
all
these
cultural
events
it's
to
bring
the
community
together
and
because,
when
these
people
come
from
different
reservations,
they
feel
isolated.
They
feel
alone,
it's
a
lot
different
being
in
an
urban
setting
than
it
is
on
a
reservation.
So
resources
are
a
lot
harder
to
find
in
our
area
than
it
is
on
a
reservation,
and
so
that's
what
we're
here
for
is
to
help
those
families
kind
of
get
rooted.
You
know
we
know
our
biggest
support
is
people
you
know.
F
A
B
Just
to
follow
up
on
that
a
little
bit
we
just
heard.
I
was
at
the
last
board
meeting
from
our
student
wellness
and
family
facilitators,
and
it
sounds
like
a
lot
of
what
you're
doing
is
very
similar
to
what
they're
doing
with
other
at-risk
populations
in
our
school
district.
Is
there
any
coordination
between
your
groups?
Are
you
overlapping
a
little
bit
or.
F
I
know
darlene's
crosses
over
a
lot
more,
I
think
with
the
with
the
swift
workers,
but
we
do
pull
them
in.
We
sometimes
get
their
foot
in
the
door
because
we
do
have
that
relationship
with
the
families,
so
we
make
it
easier,
sometimes
for
them
to
where
we'll
kind
of
call
the
parent
and
say
you
know,
you
know,
I
know
you
need
this
resource
or
you
know,
there's
mental
health
concerns
and
refer
them.
F
G
I
know
for
for
myself
working
with
the
swift
workers.
It's
too
I
come
in,
and
it's
just
coming
with
the
first
initial
visit
just
to
get
the
families
comfortable
with
the
swift
worker
and
then
establish
a
relationship
with
them,
because
they
already
know
me
and
they
feel
comfortable.
So
once
I
you
know
and
introduce
them
to
the
swift
worker
and
let
them
know
you
know
this
person
we're
all
here
to
help
you
and
I'm
here
also.
A
H
F
Last
year,
in
the
report
that
connie
nelson
had
given
me,
it
said
54
for
our
native
american
students
and
when
I
reported
that
out
to
at
our
tribal
consultation
that
we
do,
we
consult
with
turtle
mountain.
That's
where
we
go
with
under
essa
and
having
a
federal
grant,
we're
required
to
do
tribal
consultation,
and
so
because
they
we
have
their
highest
population
of
students.
Here,
we've
chosen
turtle
mountain,
and
so
when
I
had
brought
up
our
graduation
rate,
our
indian
ed
director
from
department
of
public
instruction
said
that
that's
pretty
much.
E
H
F
I
think
it
really
starts
with
you
know:
we're
a
support
program
to
get
those
kids
just
with
school
attendance.
Keeping
them
here.
We're
we're
that's
a
goal
of
ours
there,
but
I
think
it's
really
that
north
dakota
native
american,
essential
understandings
getting
the
correct
you
know
having
it
taught
in
the
school,
so
those
kids
can
relate
to
what
they're
being
taught.
I
think
that's
a
really
good
start
to
keeping
our
kids
interested
and
engaged
in
school.
It's.
F
A
A
C
I
think,
just
to
kind
of
add
to
your
question
dave:
how
could
we
do
better?
I
took
a
class
to
get
my
superintendent's
credential
in
minnesota,
indian
education
class
at
inver
hills
from
cheryl
reitinger,
very
good
class.
She
did
a
great
job
lots
of
questions,
interactions
having
grown
up
in
the
stanley
berthold
area
fort
berthold
through
affiliated
tribes
and
then
todding
and
taught
school
at
rollat
up
turtle,
mountain
indian
reservation,
I
think
just
become
more
educated,
all
of
us
and
learn
how
cultures
and
things
like
that,
and
I'm
just
going
to
stop
there.
K
F
F
I
may
have
started
out
down
here,
but
since
I've
been
working
with
indian
education,
I'm
learning
more
and
more
about
my
culture.
As
you
know,
time
has
gone
on
and
I
listen
to
our
elders
and
I
you
know,
learn
about
our
teachings
and
our
stories
and
and
stuff.
So
I
think
I
think
that's
a
important
thing
for
teachers
to
know
and
for
people
to
know
is
that
you
know
you
can't
expect
a
native
person
to
know
all
about
their
culture.
F
A
Melody,
could
you
talk
about
enrollment
it
enrolled
in
a
tribe?
That's
what
I
mean
because
we
have
you
know
you
stated
we
have.
We
have
many
more
students
actually,
but
are
we're
only
able
to
count
to
receive
assistance
financially
if
they're
enrolled
in
a
tribe,
and
so
I
know
there
are
some.
I
mean
I've
just
learned
from
my
experience
on
the
native
american
commission.
You
know
there
are
some
barriers
and
different
reasons
why
students
aren't
enrolled,
and
could
you
just
help
us
understand
that
just
a
little
bit,
please
let
darlene
answer
that
one.
G
G
So
we
have
a
lot
of
forms
that
are,
you
know,
compliant,
and
I
think
what
do
we
say
like
600,
600
or
not
compliant
600
forms
and
there's
only
you
know
like
half
of
those
that
are
compliant
and
those
are
the
the
other
forms
that
aren't
compliant
are
the
ones
that
we've
there's.
We
can't
get
blood
quantums
on
because
they
just
it's,
they
don't
have
enough.
G
You
know
of
the
blood
quantum
and
we've
tried
everything,
because
you
can
piece
all
the
families
together
and
try
to
do
it
that
way,
which
we
have
and
it
takes
a
while
and
you
can
do
it
and
I
I
actually
went
through
it
with
my
own
children,
trying
to
piece
together,
turtle,
mountain
white
earth
and
then
micro
tribe,
so
and
we
got
enough
so
they
are
enrolled,
but
it
it
gets
pretty
complicated.
But
I
don't
know.
F
Even
even
for
my
example,
my
dad
wasn't
on
my
birth
certificate
up
until
this
last
year.
I
put
them,
I
put
them
on
the
birth
certificate,
and
because
of
that,
I
was
only
considered
quarter
before
that,
and
now
I'm
considered
47
percent
not
still
not
enough
to
get
my
own
children
enrolled,
because
my
dad's
dad
was
not
on
his
birth
certificate.
F
G
Then
also
mine,
my
tribal
enrollment
through
turtle
mountain,
because
I
unenrolled
in
turtle
mountain
which
I
was
half
so
my
kids
would
have
had
no
problem.
But
since
I
unenrolled
there
and
went
to
my
dad's
tribe,
I'm
less
native
american
there,
so
my
children
had
to
go
off
my
grandparents
ojibwe
blood
from
the
turtle,
mountain
and
white
earth
and
piece
those
two
together,
because
we
can
only
claim
one
type
of
tribe.
So
it
gets
pretty
complicated.
I
This
is
also
a
mental
health
issue
and
a
healing
issue
and
a
trauma
issue,
so
they
there
are
separate
federal,
federal
dollars
that
we're
talking
about
here
for
for
our
natives,
but
that
could
be
rolled
into
our
mental
health
issues
with
the
state.
Would
that
be?
Would
that
be
a
fair
comment?
Melody.
F
F
I
I
C
F
A
E
N
Thank
you.
Well,
we
had
a
wonderful
opportunity
to
create
a
sensory
garden
for
the
eagles
autism
academy
and
jenna,
and
I
just
worked
together
and
we
were
able
to
just
bring
many
groups
throughout
the
school
district
together
and
it
was
just
so
wonderful
to
see
all
the
groups
and
all
of
the
students
and
just
the
awareness
and
the
empathy,
and
I
think,
you're,
just
gonna
love
the
project
and
we're
just
really
so
proud
of
all
the
people
that
really
helped
and
the
students
and
so
yeah.
O
And
I
think
the
other
thing
that
we
just
recognize
is
all
across
this
district.
There
are
teachers
and
groups
of
teachers
who
are
working
together
constantly
to
do
activities
like
the
one
we're
going
to
be
sharing
with
you,
and
sometimes
they
hit
social
media
through
through
twitter
or
facebook
page.
But
even
beyond
that,
we
know
from
the
work
that
alice
and
I
get
to
do.
Q
Cad
that
we're
using
is
inventor
and
what
you
can
do
is
you
can
start
with
sketches
and
then
put
them
into
assemblies,
so
put
them
all
together
like
each
of
these
sketches.
So
this
hold
on
this
leg
is
a
sketch.
These
slats
are
a
sketch.
This
side
is
a
sketch.
This
side
is
a
sketch,
and
then
you
extrude
it
into
3d
pieces
and
then,
and
then
you
assemble
them
and
make
them
into
a
cad
drawing.
L
The
hardest
part
of
this
project
has
been
getting
this
angle
for
the
wheelchair
bed,
so
that
kids
with
wheelchairs
can
access
the
beds,
and
it's
like,
I
still
haven't
quite
figured
out
how
to
get
this
piece
so
that
it
stays
exactly
where
it's
supposed
to
and
it.
And
so
we
have
to
figure
out
how
to
get
that
angle
so
that
it
stays
and
is
sturdy.
R
So
a
project
like
this
provides
many
different
classes
from
woods
to
engineering
to
come
together
and
work,
and
it's
for
a
good
cause.
It
helps
people
in
need
and
it
also
provides
educational
benefits
to
those
people
in
need.
They
get
to
learn
about
growing
and
planting
and
how
to
care
for
different
plants
and
just
stuff
like
that,
and
it
just
it's
a
good
challenge
for
us.
P
K
O
N
That
was
the
very
first
thing
they
said:
okay,
I'm
different
and
that's
good.
The
next
thing
is
the
way
I
see
and
feel
things
may
be
different
from
some
people
and
that's
the
same
with
us.
Sometimes
things
are
too
loud.
Sometimes
things
are
too
quiet,
but
we're
all
we
figure
out
ways
to
handle
it.
Sometimes,
when
things
are
too
loud,
I
might
cover
my
ears.
N
Sometimes
when
things
are
too
quiet,
I
might
turn
up
the
sound
and
that's
the
same
with
children
with
autism.
You
might
see
some
of
our
students
that
have
headphones
on
and
that's
because
sometimes
things
are
just
too
loud
and
for
you
and
I,
what
might
be
loud
to
us
might
be
extra
loud
if
you
have
autism-
and
you
know
that
maybe
their
head
hurts
or
their
stomach.
O
M
M
Sure
you
mentioned
possibly
selecting
a
type
tomato
plants
vary
greatly
in
how
much
space
they
take
some
plants
and
the
little
tag
tells
you.
Some
tomato
plants
only
need,
maybe
that
much
and
other
tomato
plants
get
really
big
and
might
overpower
the
other
things.
But
but
I'm
sure
you
would
look
at
the
label
on
the
tomato
and
choose
one
that
that
doesn't
get
so
big
on
the
plate.
R
O
So,
truly
what
you
had
the
opportunity
to
see
is
a
lot
of
various
age
groups
across
the
district
having
the
opportunity
to
work
together
for
something
that
was
pretty
outstanding.
It's
something
that
truly
I
mean
it
brings
me
to
tears,
how
everybody,
the
teachers
and
the
kids
just
really
embraced
and
rallied
around
the
project,
and
if
you
have
any
questions,
we'd
be
happy
to
answer
them
about
this
project.
But
again
we
recognize
that
this
kind
of
work
is
happening
all
across
all
of
the
buildings
and
yeah.
A
O
Right,
so
the
opportunity
will
open
up
again
in
mid-february
is
when
we
can
start
applying
again
and
so
we've
been.
You
know,
we've
been
talking
about
what
does
year
two
look
like
and
is
it
vegetables
again
or
do
we
start
thinking
about
pollinator
gardens
or
you
know
so
just
thinking
about
what
what
year
two
might
be.
But
yes,
there
is
another
opportunity
to
write
for
another
grant.
O
N
Students
are
so
excited.
I
was
at
the
autism
academy
today
and
they
said
tell
them
about,
like
the
kids
would
this
summer
they
were
there
and
they
would
grab
carrots
and
they'd.
They
tried
them.
They
tried
cucumbers,
they
tried
strawberries,
didn't
like
the
radishes,
I
don't
know
about
the
eggplant,
but-
and
it
was
so
neat
to
see
the
fifth
graders
too,
because
when
they
were
talking
about
what
they
were
going
to
put
in
the
garden,
they
kept
thinking.
Okay,
it's
a
sensory
garden,
so
it
has
to
be
colorful,
so
they
have
things
to
look
at.
N
A
O
Those
students
were
invited
to
come
over
the
course
of
the
summer,
of
course,
it
being
their
neighborhood
school
but
being
a
fifth
grade
group
as
well
as
they
have
ventured
off,
some
of
them
to
discovery,
and
some
of
them
to
carl
benelson,
based
on
where
they're,
where
they're
living
that
hasn't
been
something
we've
been
able
to
specifically
share
with
them.
At
this
point,.
A
Because
it's
great,
we
can
see
the
connection.
You
know
I
mean
it's
just
it's
just
a
it's
like
yarn,
you
know
just
woven
through
you
can
see
how
things
are
connected
very
easily,
but
I
think
that
it
would
be
it's
just
always
nice.
If
a
student
can
see
kind
of
the
impact
down
the
line
was
my
was
my
final
comment,
but
it's
beautiful.
A
B
C
C
A
A
If
you
picked
up
your
items
here
at
the
at
the
meeting,
but
any
rate
gp
12
is
the
process
for
addressing
board
member
violations.
It
was
reviewed
by
the
governance
committee
at
the
committee's
september
27th
meeting
and
at
that
meeting,
consensus
was
reached
by
the
committee
to
forward
the
attached
changes
or
the
changes
on
the
back
of
this
sheet
to
the
board
for
review
and
approval
at
this
meeting.
So
the
recommendation
from
the
governance
committee
is
that
gp
12
be
approved
as
presented
so
I'd
open
that
up
for
discussion.
J
C
B
B
U
A
Thank
you,
okay,
board
reports,
task
force
updates
robin
I
have
your.
I
have
printouts
of
your
report.
I'll.
Let's
see,
I
think,
that's
the
only
well.
That's
the
only
task
force,
that's
met
so
far.
We
have
one
coming
up
later
in
the
week,
so
robin
I'll
pass
this
out
here,
but
while
we're
doing
while
I'm
passing
it
out
how
about
if
we
start
with
committee
and
liaison
reports,
is
that
okay,
all
right
brian?
Would
you
like
to
go
ahead?
Please.
C
October
5th,
last
friday
I
visited
lewis
and
clark
elementary,
and
that
was
a
great
thing.
First
time,
I'd
ever
seen
a
70
inch
screen
in
the
gymnasium
and
and
all
the
schools
over
30
years.
I've
been,
and
I've
never
seen
that
before,
and
that
70
inch
screen
didn't
look
70
inches
in
a
gym,
but
then
it
was
a
cool
school.
A
I
K
I
K
H
E
Yeah
and
just
to
kind
of
speak
to
the
speak.
To
that
point,
a
little
bit
the
formation
of
the
committee
composition,
members
from
west
fargo,
fargo,
public
schools,
rural
cast,
we
all
got
together
and
we
had
asked
various
organizations
of
different
community
partners
to
provide
a
representative
for
the
task
force
after
we
gave
them
a
membership
criteria.
So,
for
example,
we
asked
the
city
to
provide
an
individual.
We
had
samford
to
provide
an
individual
and
so
forth.
E
So
even
ourselves,
although
we
decided
which
organization
should
be
part
of
the
task
force,
we
didn't
know
exactly
who
was
gonna
show
up,
or
we
didn't
maybe
know
we're,
not
familiarity
with
the
representative
from
an
organization.
So
when
that
point
was
brought
up
at
that
meeting,
we
all
acknowledged
that
okay,
we
should
do
something
to
kind
of
make
sure
that
all
voices
are
represented,
so
fargo
public
schools
and
west
fargo
public
schools
has
reached
out
to
multiple
individuals,
including
melody
to
expand
our
task
force
membership
and
have
them
join
as
well.
E
I
W
E
W
I
A
A
I
That's
fine.
We
just
talked
about
the
lreb
task
force
meeting.
I
also
participated
on
september
28th
in
the
fargo
south
turf
ribbon
cutting
ceremony.
There
was
also
a
smaller
invite
that
came
from
al
deveron.
I
think
it
just
came
to
both
rebecca
and
myself
for
their
ribbon
cutting
ceremony.
We
were
asked
to
forward
that
to
rupak.
It
was
literally
two
hours
before
the
event,
so
I
understand
why
nobody
could
be
there,
but
I
did
I
did
make
it
to
that.
I
I
Jim
will
have
a
more
thorough
report
for
that,
but
the
next
meeting
we're
going
to
have
a
special
meeting.
The
next
meeting
is
november
1st
at
7
30.
upcoming
meetings.
I
will
be
participating
again
via
phone
from
indianapolis
for
the
citywide
pta
meeting
at
noon
and
past
that
I
think
we're
good.
I
did
send
all
these
dates
to
ann
marie,
though
in
advance.
T
T
There
was
quite
a
few
of
them
and
it
was
pretty
cool
to
see
that
and
also
got
to
touch
base
with
a
principal
I
had
at
ben
franklin
many
moons
ago,
so
that
was
really
cool
to
see
him
there
and
then
october
2nd.
We
had
the
meeting
for
the
fargo
new
youth
initiative
at
the
city
of
fargo
and
they
had
a
presentation
on
art
because
they
have
some
future
art
stuff
that
they
would
like
to
do
with
their
committee
and
how
that
is
used
in
our
city.
So
it
was.
T
It
was
a
nice
presentation
that
they
had
and
then
the
fifth,
the
fargo
youth
initiative
also
had
tate
ed
and
juliet
talking
with
the
governor
and
mayor
mahoney
and
burgum,
and
they
discussed
ideas
with
more
stuff
downtown
for
kids
under
21
that
can
stay
later
and
education
opportunities
and
internships
programs
that
they
can
do
in
the
schools.
So
that
was
a
couple
of
the
ideas
that
they
had,
that
they
had
shared
with
them.
T
J
U
U
So
please,
if
you're
available,
mark
that
on
your
calendars
and
then
we
have
chosen
february,
18th
and
19th
of
next
year
for
the
dates
for
our
joint
meeting
with
west
fargo
and
our
legislators
out
in
bismarck,
we'll
probably
have
an
informal
social
the
evening
of
the
18th
and
then
we'll
have
a
breakfast
session
with
whatever
legislature
legislators.
We
can
convince
to
come
and
join
us
on
the
morning
of
the
19th
and
typically
depending
upon
what's
going
on
in
the
calendar
with
the
legislature.
U
U
U
We
think
this
one
will
probably
fall
more
in
department
of
human
services
than
actual
dpi,
but
we
think
that
is
the
number-
maybe
even
the
number
one
priority
for
the
legislature
to
address.
Obviously
we'd
like
funding
too,
but
we
see
that
as
the
number
one
need.
So
those
are
the
two
that
we
believe
will
be
bringing
forward
for
the
board's
consideration
and
if
you
have
questions
on
those
between
now
and
the
next
board
meeting,
please
reach
out
to
robin
or
anybody
on
the
gac
committee.
For
that
matter.
U
We
tend
to
meet
about
every
other
month.
Right
now
it
sounds
like
they
trying
they're
trying
to
make
this
a
permanent
committee.
I'm
hoping
it
doesn't
mean
the
current
members
are
permanent
members,
but
we'll
see
where
that
goes,
there's
actually
going
to
be
legislation
coming
forward
out
of
the
senate
interim
education
committee,
forcing
this
committee
to
become
a
permanent
fixture
going
forward,
at
least
for
the
foreseeable
future.
U
A
number
of
different
things
came
up
in
discussion
just
to
highlight
one
that
came
up.
That
kind
of
corresponds
to
our
presentation.
We
had
from
melody
earlier
today,
one
of
the
big
gaps
that
we
clearly
see
in
graduation
rates
in
this
state
attendance
and
every
other
aspect
of
measurable
outcomes
that
we
think
will
lead
to
student
success,
certainly
is
the
disparity
in
the
native
american
community,
so
that'll
be
front
and
center
as
part
of
what
the
education
envisioning
steering
committee
is
going
to
be
working
on
to
hopefully
see
if
we
can
get
some
legislative
fixes.
U
So
that
was
kind
of
an
interesting
discussion
to
say
the
least.
I
do
believe
there
is
a
committee,
a
subcommittee
of
the
visioning
steering
committee,
that's
being
formed
to
really
address
some
of
the
social
emotional
issues
that
we
think
need
to
be
addressed,
and
I
believe
dr
gross
is
going
to
be
asked
to
serve
on
that.
I
don't
know
if
you'll
give
him
permission,
I
don't
know
if
he's
willing,
but
I
threw
his
name
in
the
hat
because
I
think
he'd
be
great
at
it.
U
H
H
W
W
15Th
I've
submitted
the
topics
for
that
already,
but
if
you
do
have
any
additional
that
you
would
like
us
to
discuss,
please
know
that
you
can
always
board
those
to
me
or
anyone
else
on
the
committee,
so
that'll
be
noon
on
the
15th
and
the
health
insurance
committee
hasn't
met
again
since
our
last
school
board
meeting.
So
that
will
be
the
23rd.
B
B
I
was
at
the
fps
foundation
open
house
on
the
first,
as
brandy
was
again.
We
are
so
lucky
to
have
such
a
unique
and
excellent
resource
to
our
school
district
as
the
foundation
becky
bakke
does
a
really
good
job
with
that.
The
board
that
governs
that
organization
has
done
a
really
good
job
of
building
up
that
fund
and
my
takeaways
this
time
or
that
you
know
it's
we're
doing
some
really
cool
things
with
that,
I
don't.
B
I
think
it's
still
not
doesn't
have
the
awareness
it
should
in
our
community
the
innovative
projects
that
are
able
to
be
funded
from
that
that
those
little
seeds
that
turn
into
the
flowers
and
and
shrubs
that
turn
into
big
forests
of
really
cool
things
happening
here.
These,
I
think
we
heard
earlier
tonight
that
there's
you
know
some
maker
spaces
in
our
elementary
schools,
and
when
you
hear
that
you
know
you
definitely
think
of
stem,
maybe
don't
think
of
the
a
of
the
steam.
B
So
much,
but
some
of
those
media
specialists
are
our
librarians,
are
talking
about
how
they're
increasingly
being
having
teachers
come
to
them.
Asking
how?
If
the
literacy
programs
can
have
a
turn
at
the
3d
printers
to
have
different
projects
that
integrate
into
these
things
and
different
coding
programs
and
and
different
creative
maker
things
that
come
out
of
everything
else
in
our
curriculums,
and
these
are
getting
integrated
into
our
curriculums
and
these
these
are
being
able
to
be
funded
because
of
these
innovation
grants.
B
Also
the
of
course
the
the
the
critical
needs
influence
of
those
gaps
that
are
being
supported
by
the
foundation
and
reminding
everybody
that
I
think
every
once
in
a
while.
There's
this
viral
storm
social
media
of
oh
geez,
what
are
we
doing
to
feed
our
kids
and,
if
you're
worried
about
that,
I
recommend
that
you
contact
the
fps
foundation
and
tell
them
hey.
I
would
like
to
help
pay
off
negative
lunch
balance
or
make
sure
that
kids
in
elementary
school
get
their
milk
break
and
they'll
help
you
with
that.
B
So
it's
it's
again.
It's
really
great
keep
the
fps
foundation
in
your
mind
when
you're,
making
your
giving
plans
and
then
back
on
the
fourth,
I
was
able
to
visit
jefferson
elementary
school
as
part
of
my
visits
and
love
that
school.
Unfortunately,
I
was
not
able
to
attend
the
governor's
thing.
I
was
not
able
to
get
into
indigenous
people's
day
yesterday,
because
I
came
up
with
this
nasty
cold,
so
I
apologize.
If
any
of
you
get
it
from
me
tonight.
B
U
A
A
So,
echoing
what
brandi
and
john
have
said,
I
spent
a
lot
of
time
talking
to
some
of
the
kids
on
about
their
lego
projects,
and
I
can't
remember
that
it
was
the
booth
right
next
to
the
lego
project,
it's
or
the
robotics
project,
but
then,
but
it's
almost
they're,
almost
like
legos,
john
or
brandy.
Maybe
you
remember
it,
but
you
can
you
can
build
build
with
those
as
well
and
I
can't
rupak,
you
know
it.
A
A
It
was
really
great
that
those
that
the
three
students
were
there.
One
thing
that
I'd
like
us
to
continue
to
talk
about
we
will
in
the
communications
committee,
is
youth
involvement
and,
however,
we
decide
to
incorporate
you
know:
youth
involvement
with
decisions
that
we
are
making
as
a
board,
or
I
guess,
whatever
we
end
up
deciding,
but
I
think
it
was
pretty
clear
that
well
at
least
those
three
students
they're
representing
many
others-
they
want
to
be
involved.
A
They
want
to
do
things
they
want
to
help,
but
they
don't
know
a
lot
about
what's
going
on
and
they
want
to
be
involved
in
decisions
that
impact
their
lives
on
programs
and
policies
and
things
that
are
going
on
within
their
schools.
So
I
think
it's
just
figuring
out
a
way
to
provide
information
to
them
in
in
a
way
that
is
that
they
would
like
to
receive
it
and
and
opportunities
for
participation,
and
there
was
so
much
of
that
that
was
discussed
at
the
national
convention
too.
A
So
I
just
wanted
to
pass
that
on.
This
is
the
flyer
that
was
for
indigenous
people's
day
it
that
was
such
a
fun
event.
This
is
the
third
annual
event
and
again
just
great
to
see
the
students
participating
in
that
and
happy
that
we
are
able
to
collaborate
with
many
other
organizations.
To
put
that
on,
we
have,
let's
see
I
was
at
gak
this
morning,
thanks
for
the
great
report
jim,
we
have
homework
due
on
the
17th,
gp
monitoring
and
superintendent
evaluation.
A
If
you
could
just
get
in
contact
with
me,
that
would
be
great.
If,
if
you
don't
contact
me,
maybe
it's
that
you
don't
feel
that
there
needs
to
be
that
you
know
that
conversation,
but
I
definitely
am
open
to
having
those
conversations,
and
I
believe
that
is
it.
Our
next
regular
board
meeting
is
october
23rd.
