A
A
That's
great,
thank
you
very
much.
All
in
favor,
say
aye,
please
motion
passes.
Thank
you.
Our
agenda
is
approved.
We
are
going
to
move
right
on.
Do
we
have
some
student
performers
here
this
evening?
Very
wonderful,
thank
you
for
joining
us
and
Denise
Odegard
is
going
to
introduce
our
students
and
give
a
little
explanation
in
regard
to
our
music
in
the
schools
music
in
our
schools
month.
Please
thank
you.
Welcome
Denise
thank.
B
You
very
much,
as
she
said,
we're
celebrating
music
in
our
schools
month.
It's
almost
over,
but
we
we
celebrate
all
the
time
with
music,
so
we'll
just
keep
going
with
that
today,
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
later
about
our
artistic
processes
that
we
use
in
the
classroom-
and
this
is
a
great
demonstration
today
of
those
artistic
process-
is
creating
performing
responding
and
we
have
a
student
here:
Jeffrey
Lou
who's
composed
Trio
Sonata
number,
six
in
a
major
and
they're
going
to
play
one
movement
or
one
part
of
it.
B
We
have
two
other
students
from
North
High
joining
him.
We
have
Phillip
Dowdell
right
here
on
violin
and
Tate
Fisher
on
cello
and
weird
like
to
recognize
their
teacher.
Also
Greg
Schultz
in
the
back
here
and
Jeffrey
would
like
to
just
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
composition
that
he
wrote
so
take
a
chair
here.
C
This
last
movement
of
the
Sonata
is
called
Salta
reloj,
which
is
an
Italian
dance
and
it
comes
from
the
verb.
Sal
Terra,
which
means
to
jump,
and
this
dance
is
characterized
by
a
leaping
step
and
also
a
fast
triplet,
beat
feel
and
I
kind
of
got
the
inspiration
from
this
from
the
last
movement
of
Mendelssohn's
symphony
number
four,
which
is
also
a
Terrel.
Oh
and
it's
called
the
italian
symphony,
and
also
the
summer
that
I
wrote.
This
I
got
a
wonderful
opportunity
to
actually
visit
Italy
and
yeah.
So
this
will
be
a
Salter
ello.
A
D
D
D
That
later
before,
the
musicians
leave
I
just
want
to
say
it
was
a
pleasure
hearing
them
again.
They
performed
with
the
symphony
just
a
couple
weeks
ago
on
the
side-by-side
and
Philip
was
one
of
our
finalists
for
the
solo
competition.
So
I
just
want
to
say
in
case
you
ever
wonder
about
the
quality
of
the
music
education
programs
in
Fargo
public
schools.
What
he
did
with
this
composition
and
the
time
period
was
based
on
and
figured
face,
continue
on.
All
the
stuff
I
didn't
learn
until
I
was
a
sophomore
music
major
in
college.
A
Okay,
we're
now
going
to
move
on
to
the
recognition
of
our
audience,
and
we
do
have
one
person
signed
up
to
speak
and
that
is
Beth
creme.
This
is
a
cream
and
I.
I
know
you've
been
at
our
meetings
before,
but
there's
something
a
little
bit
of
something
that
we
read
before
we
have
people
speak
at
this
time.
The
board
will
hear
comments
from
the
public.
We
ask
that
each
speaker
who
has
signed
up
to
address
the
board
state
their
name
and
address
for
the
record.
A
We
would
also
like
that
speakers
refrain
from
using
this
forum
to
criticize
or
complain
about
a
specific
employee
by
name.
The
board
is
interested
in
your
comments
and
will
listen
carefully,
but
is
not
obligated
to
respond
or
debate
issues
in
this
forum.
Should
you
desire
a
written
response
to
a
specific
question?
You
may
request
it
this
evening.
You
will
be
allotted
a
maximum
of
four
minutes.
Hopefully
that
will
work
for
you.
Thank.
E
After
26,
unbelievable
years
with
this
district
and
I've
had
the
privilege
of
teaching
some
of
your
children
and,
being
your
colleagues
and
it's
been
the
best
best
around
Oh
seriously,
didn't
want
to
cry.
I
was
like
super
good
and
I
thought
you,
okay
and
I.
Just
want
to
thank
you.
I
have
a
team
motto
in
a
classroom
motto
and
it's
called
we're
better.
E
Together
we
remind
each
other
daily
that
we
are
better
when
we
work
together
when
we
dialogue
together,
it
doesn't
mean
we
agree,
we
don't
often,
but
we
just
work
through
things
and
we
learn
from
each
other's
perspectives
and
I
just
want
to
thank
you
as
a
board
that
you've
modeled
that
so
well
I.
Thank
you
for
giving
me
an
incredible
opportunity
to
do
my
job.
Well.
E
I
know
that
this
wasn't
it's
kind
of
a
rough
road,
especially
this
last
year
you
probably
had
teachers
that
were
nasty
to
you
and
unkind
and
impatient,
and
things
like
that
and
I,
but
I
want
you
to
know
that.
That's
not
always
the
majority
and
I'm
speaking
for
myself,
of
course,
but
I
know
so
many
colleagues
that
dedicate
their
life
and
time
to
love
our
kids
in
Fargo
public
schools,
over
2,000
students
in
26
years
I've
had
the
pleasure
of
being
their
teacher.
E
I
love
the
PD
that
we've
been
given
so
many
opportunities
our
kids
are
blessed
with
in
this
district,
continue
to
support
and
fight
for
that
student
achievement,
which
is,
of
course,
first
quality
educators
in
the
classroom
that
care
and
are
compassionate
and
passionate
about
their
subject,
but
just
love
kids
like
crazy
and
that
fosters
excellence.
The
year
I
was
in
college.
My
mom
gave
me
a
book.
I
had
no
idea
that
that
I
would
end
up
26
years
later,
but
it
was
from
died
out.
E
He
was
Teacher
of
the
Year
from
Minnesota,
and
this
is
the
poem
that
Ronald
Reagan
read
to
him
in
the
White
House
when
he
accepted
his
award
teachers.
So
thank
you
for
letting
me
do
this
job
so
well,
teachers.
You
are
the
molders
of
their
dreams.
You
are
the
gods
who
build
or
crush
their
young
beliefs
of
right
or
wrong.
You
are
the
spark
that
sets
aflame
the
poet's
hand
or
lights
the
flame
of
some
great
singers
song.
E
You
are,
the
god
of
the
young,
the
very
young,
the
guardian
of
a
million
dreams
and
your
every
smile
or
frown
can
heal
or
pierce
a
heart.
You
are
a
hundred
thousand
lives.
Yours
is
the
pride
of
loving
them
and
it's
the
sorrow
to
your
patient
work.
Your
touch.
It
makes
you
the
gods
of
Hope
who
feel
their
souls
with
dreams
and
make
those
dreams
come
true.
Thank
you
for
the
blessing
and
privilege
of
being
able
to
be
one
of
your
Fargo
public
schools,
teachers,
beautiful.
A
Thank
you
so
much
mrs.
Zachary.
My
son
was
fortunate
to
have
her
I
also
wanted
to
mention.
We
have
some
Boy
Scouts
here
this
evening,
Boy
Scouts
troop
number
214
from
North
Fargo
they're
still
in
here
right,
oh
yeah,
okay,
good
deal!
Thank
you
for
joining
us
this
evening.
Hopefully
you
have
a
have
a
good
experience.
All
right.
Let's
move
on
to
staff
reports,
Fe
a
report
Laura
good.
F
Evening
ordinarily,
bill
tells
me
Laura:
you
have
32
seconds
of
battery
left,
but
today
he
said:
could
you
stretch
it
out
a
little,
except
for
it
looks
like
we're
all
set
up.
So
no
jokes,
I'm,
sorry,
the
thing
I'd
like
to
say
tonight
and
I'm
sure
you
have
carried
anne-marie
around
on
your
shoulders
and
thanked
her
already
for
the
hard
hard
work.
Everybody
did
so
much
work
on
the
superintendent
search,
but
from
an
FAA
standpoint.
F
A
G
G
B
B
That's
all
I
saw
you're
just
from
behind,
so
it
was
there.
I
got
to
give
it
back
to
you
right.
I
I
would
like
to
first
of
all
thank
the
school
board
and
people
from
the
past
school
boards
that
have
dedicated
a
lot
of
funding
and
time
and
ability
for
us
to
carry
on
the
music
program.
As
we
have
over
the
years,
it
may
have
adjusted
a
little
bit,
but
it's
just
as
strong
as
when
I
started,
probably
36
years
ago.
So
I
have
Beth
I've
done
a
few
more
years
than
Beth.
B
So,
but
thank
you
very
much
for
that
and
it's
because
of
that
we
can
celebrate
music
in
our
schools
month
each
and
every
month.
So
I
just
want
to
go
through
what
we're
doing
in
the
the
music
department
with
standards,
and
we
have
three
artistic
processes
you
saw
two
of
those
tonight
being
demonstrated.
So
we
have
creating
performing
and
responding
and
Jeffrey
composed
that
piece
he's
he's
just
an
avid
composer
I
think
he's
channeling
some
composers
from
the
past.
B
Those
are
out
for
the
first
review
now,
so
people
can
go
to
the
DPI
website
and
give
some
public
comment
on
those
all
arts,
media,
arts,
visual
arts,
music,
theater
and
dance.
So,
if
you're
interested
in
doing
that,
that
would
be
great.
So
you
saw
creating
here's
a
little
bit
of
what
his
piece
looks
like
in
the
middle
there,
and
then
the
steps
are
imagining
plan
and
make
evaluate,
refine
and
presents
as
an
artist.
You
come
up
with
some
ideas.
You
put
them
together
in
a
piece.
However,
you
want
to
you.
B
B
Again
we
had
the
three
students
with
one
substitution
in
there.
The
the
processes
for
performing
are
selecting
a
piece
of
music
to
perform
and
they
want
to
analyze.
What's
all
in
that
piece
of
music,
they
want
to
interpret
what
the
composer's
intent
is
and
then
again
they
want
to
evaluate
and
refine
their
performance
and
then
they're
ready
to
present
it
so
that
all
these
processes
have
been
gone
through
up
until
today,
and
then
you
as
an
audience
can
think
about
responding.
B
So
he
told
you
what
the
purpose
of
the
piece
was,
but
as
students
we
listen
to
music
and
we
respond
to
it.
Thinking
about
what
did
the
composer
mean
when
they
wrote
that
or
what
are
you
imagining
in
your
head,
as
that
piece
is
composed,
if
he
hadn't
told
you
what
what
what
it
was
composed
about,
would
you
have
come
up
with
that
same
thing
in
your
head?
B
So
those
are
the
kind
of
questions
again
thinking
about
things
and
responding
to
music,
so
I
really
like
how
our
artistic
processes
are
set
out
and
it's
a
great
way
for
kids
to
practice,
21st
century
skills
and
to
think
of
things
in
a
different
way
with
analyzing
and
interpreting.
So
that
is
all
I
would
like
to
share
for
today
and
again,
another
big
thank
you
to
everybody
for
for
how
we've
been
able
to
continue,
even
through
some
tighter
budget
times,
just
to
continue
to
have
the
great
quality
programs
we
have.
D
B
I
have
to
say
everything,
I
learned
about
what
I
needed
to
know
to
be
President
I
learned
here
in
Fargo
public
schools,
either
through
trainings
I
had
or
opportunities.
You
know
we
have
had
to
grow
as
teachers,
it
it
all.
It
always
used.
So
that's
another
great
thing
to
toot
your
horns
for
so
all
right.
Thank
you.
So
much
dr.
Schatz,
just.
G
One
other
comment:
you'll
get
to
see
it
at
Rio
out
at
the
School
Boards
Association.
When
we
go
to
San
Antonio
myself,
Bob
and
Denise
will
be
presenting
1:30
on
Saturday
I
believe
at
the
School,
Board
Association
and
so
that'll
be
a
whole
session.
That
Denise
will
put
together
for
us
and
Bob
and
I
will
write
in
and
be
part
of
that
with.
G
G
H
Right
well,
thank
you
for
this
opportunity.
We
really
appreciate
it.
I'm
really
excited
to
have
Brook,
Bergen
and
Mike
West
students
here
that
will
be
showing
you
their
personal
work
in
just
a
few
minutes,
and
I
should
say
that
I
graduated
from
North
High
too,
but
I'm
not
sure
if
I
graduated
ahead
or
behind
you.
H
H
H
Okay,
all
right
so
I
just
wanted
to
start
with
a
few
well
showing
you,
the
courses
that
we
offer
so
in
each
high
school.
We
have
clay
and
sculpture,
which
is
now
called
3d
design,
and
then
we
have
drawing
and
painting
and
studio
a
2d
design,
and
then
we
offer
beginning
intermediate
advanced
and
advanced
placement
in
each
course,
and
then
we
also
have
basic
concepts
class
this
year
that
we
tried
for
the
first
time
and
it
went
very
well.
H
It
was
an
adaptive
art
class
and
we've
decided
to
offer
that
every
other
year,
because
the
students
we
just
want
to
give
them
a
full
variation
of
different
classes
that
they
can
take
different
electives.
So
in
a
nutshell,
so
that's
what
happens
at
school.
These
are
different
opportunities
that
we
have
outside
of
the
classroom
every
year.
Well,
we
have
art
club,
of
course,
and
then
every
year
we
take
a
trip
to
Minneapolis
and
we
go
with
north
and
south.
H
So
all
three
high
schools
like
to
do
these
trips
together,
which
is
really
great
because
it
brings
a
lot
of
students
with
like
interests
together
and
they
get
to
know
each
other.
So
we
usually
start
our
portfolio
days
trip
at
the
Walker
Art
Center
in
the
sculpture
garden,
and
then
we
usually
go
to
the
Walker
and
then
m.I.a
and
at
MCAD
they
can
take
portfolios
and
have
different
representatives
from
art,
schools
all
across
the
country,
look
at
their
portfolios
and
give
them
feedback.
H
So
it's
really
a
great
opportunity
and
then
we
also
participate
and
collaborate
with
Morehead,
State,
NDSU
and
Concordia,
and
these
are
some
shots
from
just
this.
Well,
the
one
on
the
left
is
from
last
year
with
their
regional
exhibition
at
Morehead
State,
and
then
they
offer
a
workshop
day
to
go
along
with
the
exhibition.
So
it's
a
great
opportunity
for
the
students
to
show
their
work
in
a
really.
H
There's
the
NDSU
would
largest
kiln
in
upper
north.
That
I'm,
aware
of
so
that's
really
fun
for
them
to
see
that
too,
we
also
participate
in
the
granary,
Cultural,
Arts,
Center
exhibition
and
competition,
and
it's
much
like
the
Morehead
State
opportunity
where
they
can
submit
work,
and
then
they
are
recognized
for
their
hard
work
through
awards,
for
example
like
best
in
printmaking.
H
That
kind
of
thing
so
twice
maybe
three
times
Davies
has
taken
home
the
trophy
for
all-around
school
effort
for
in
all
of
those
different
categories,
drawing
painting,
sculpture,
printmaking
and
mixed-media,
and
then
of
course,
you
may
have
heard
of
Davies
Day,
which
started
as
an
art
exhibition
only
and
we
put
up
a
lot
of
work
in
the
in
the
commons
area
and
it's
become
quite
the
event.
We
have
chalk
drawing
contest
as
well
the
first
year
that
we
had
it.
H
We
had
25
groups
participating
and
then,
as
the
years
have
gone
on,
it's
gradually
gotten
bigger.
Last
year
we
had
one
hundred
and
twenty
three
groups
of
students
that
participated,
and
now
it's
a
celebration
for
the
whole
school.
So
the
whole
school
is
involved
in
that
afternoon
and
all
of
the
teachers
are
on
board
with
different
games
and
music
and
different
lots
of
different
things
that
they
they
can
do
and
that's
open
to
the
public.
That's
on
May
23rd.
H
C
I
I
So
basically
the
theme
that
the
majority
of
my
work
revolves
around
is
social
commentary
which
you'll
see
in
the
next
few
slides
so
I'm
just
going
to
talk
about
a
few
of
the
individual
pieces.
I've
created
this
year,
so
the
one
on
the
left
it's
kind
of
hard
to
see,
but
it's
about
stubbornness
and
oftentimes,
if
someone's
being
stubborn
and
you'd
call
them
bullheaded
and
the
figure
on
the
right
in
that
sculpture
is
a
bull
once
again,
can't
really
see
it.
I
So
the
left
side,
kind
of
has
skyscrapers
and
normal
roads
and
everything,
and
then
the
right
shows
the
destruction
of
homes
and
buildings,
and
you
can
see
flooded
cars
and
just
the
devastation
that
that
caused.
So
that's
what
that
piece
is
about,
and
the
figure
and
puzzle
on
the
right
is
about
how
oftentimes
people
and
young
people
especially
will
try
and
conform
to
society.
So
you
can
see
like
in
the
puzzle.
I
I
And
finally,
this
is
a
mural
I
did
for
the
walkout
that
was
on
March
14th
I
helped
to
organize
that
within
Davies,
along
with
a
couple
other
students
from
my
school
and
in
this
mural,
you
can
see
the
17
people
that
were
killed
in
Florida
and
yeah.
So
I
spent
a
lot
of
time
creating
this,
and
it
was
out
there
behind
us
when
we
were
speaking
on
the
14th
and.
I
Art
this
year,
I
mean
senior
year
is
super
stressful
you're,
trying
to
figure
out
what
you're
gonna
do.
Next.
Everything
like
that
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
art
has
given
me
an
opportunity
to
put
all
those
negative
emotions
or
that
stress
that
I
have
into
something
tangible
that
someone
else
can
enjoy
or
even
relate
to
which
has
helped
me
figure
things
out
and
cope
with
things
and
just
have
an
overall
more
positive
year
and
next
year,
I
will
be
attending
NDSU
and
pursuing
a
degree
in
art.
A
Mike
I
just
wanted
to
see:
does
anyone
have
any
questions
or
or
comments
right
now,
I
mean
other
than
like
fabulous
I'm
about
ready
to
cry
for
because
some
of
these
are
just
there,
so
they
just
provoke
emotion,
so
wonderfully
I.
Just
amazed
did
anyone
have
anything
else
to
share
I
wanted
to
ask
on
the
mural.
So
what
is
that?
Is
it
chalk
or
a
pastel.
I
I
J
J
J
A
Did
screen
printing
and
as
in
art,
when
I
was
in
high
school
and
I
thought
it
was
interesting
that
you
were
talking
about.
She
was
because
my
I
screen
printed
a
shoe
that
or
an
old
work
boot
that
my
dad
used
to
wear
and
I,
but
I
had
to
sketch
it
first
and
then
screened
it
afterwards,
and
it's
still
hanging
in
my
in
my
bedroom
back
home,
an
e-rate
brought
back
some
fun
memories,
so
anyone
have
anything
else:
okay,
dr.
Schatz,
I,.
G
Forgot
to
mention
Sharon
you're
sitting
back
there,
so
I,
thank
you
for
being
here
at
Sharon,
hight
and
she's
been
a
leader
of
our
art
programs
for
a
long
long
time
helps
organize
all
the
things
you
see
in
here
all
the
time
and
working
with
all
of
our
teachers
and
Bob
and
Rachel
in
the
curriculum
piece
and
so
again
a
shout
out
to
you
too.
Thank
you
for
all
your
great
work
and
leading
everything
in
our
district
and
making
it
happen.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you
to
our
two
students
from
Davies.
K
Christy
I
just
wanna,
say
mrs.
Peterson
or
miss
Peterson.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
know
with
my
daughter
in
AP
3d.
We
enjoy
all
the
artwork
that
she
brings
home.
We've
got
a
lot
of
clay
and
the
photo
shoot
for
all
of
her
portfolio
things.
So
it's
been
a
great
experience
for
her
this
year
and
each
year.
So
thank
you
for
what
you've
done
for
her.
A
L
My
school's
growing
up
did
not
have
anything
like
this,
and
I
have
kids
in
the
district.
Now,
of
course,
and
even
since
the
time
they
were
in
kindergarten,
the
the
quality
of
the
art
of
they
were
bringing
home
is
incredible,
and
my
daughter
is
in
middle
school
up
in
Franklin
and
she's
bringing
home
these
pieces
that
I'm
and
every
week
they're
better
I'm,
really
stunned
and
and
it's
not
just
the
quality
of
it,
that
I'm
noticing
it's
it's
the
act
of
creation.
L
That
I
think
is
so
important
that
these
kids
are
learning
to
make
things
and
and
the
third
piece
of
that
standard
that
you
were
sharing
with
us,
the
responding
it's
it's
activating
those
critical
thinking,
skills,
it's
okay,
I'm
feeling
something
some
of
it.
You
know,
though
Rebecca
you
just
mentioned
those
we're
making.
You
feel
an
emotional
response.
It
makes
me
think
why
am
I
feeling
what
am
I
feeling?
How
is
this
triggering
this
and
why
do
I
respond
that
way?
I
think
it's
so
important.
L
A
All
right,
thank
you
very
much.
You're
welcome
to
stick
around
for
the
rest
of
our
meeting.
If
you'd
like
to
you
also
may
leave
and
enjoy
the
nice
sunshiny
weather
or
do
homework
whatever
all
right,
we'll
move
on
to
the
consent
agenda.
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
those
items
on
the
consent
agenda?
Please.
M
A
A
K
So
we've
got
on
memo
number
99,
the
award
of
bid.
The
bids
were
received
on
the
20th
of
the
month
and
the
bid
package,
one
for
this
product
project
allows
for
preparation
of
the
site
and
the
next
phase
will
be
coming
at
a
later
date.
Administration
is
recommending
proceeding
with
the
base
bid
for
this
project.
Totaling.
One
point
two
to
three
to
fifty
1.80
estimated
budget
for
this
bid
package
was
one
point:
six,
five,
four
six
ten.
K
M
A
G
The
site
work,
foundation,
work,
and
so
this
is
that
first
step
and
the
reason
we're
bringing
it
to
you
now
is
that,
if
approved
tonight,
then
those
contractors
can
begin
ordering
the
materials
they
need
and
things
you'll
see
subsequent
vids
coming
to
you
and
probably
in
another
three
weeks
or
so
we'll
see
where
that
lines
up
with
the
next
board
meeting
when
those
come
in
and
that
will
be
the
bids
for
the
rest
of
the
project.
So
all
the
other
types
of
contractors
that
need
to
happen
for
that.
G
So
this
is
the
first
one
to
just
get
that
foundation
work
going
and
you
have
a
map
on
the
back
of
a
of
the
sheet.
That
shows
you
again
the
entry
areas
where
the
Commons
expansion,
the
entry
area,
redo
the
multi-purpose
room
in
the
back
and
then
that
music
addition
to
the
front
that's
what
this
is
about
and
plus
the
earth
moving
and
the
work
that
needs
to
be
done
to
the
turnabout's
and
the
adding
the
bus
loop
and
that
kind
of
stuff.
So
anyways.
A
G
Q
A
R
O
R
A
S
Thank
you.
We're
looking
for
approval
to
proceed
with
the
bonding
for
the
discovery
project.
I
will,
with
your
approval,
then
look
to
contact
pfm,
who
does
our
bonding
for
us
and
we
will
draft
a
resolution
for
you
at
the
next
meeting
to
approve
I
would
anticipate.
We
would
look
to
bond
probably
up
to
14
million,
so
we
give
ourselves
a
little
leeway
as
the
final
bids
come
in
and
we
had
decided
or
Planning
Committee
did
decide
to
issue
one
bond
not
to
break
it
into
two
series.
Over
the
years.
Some
interest
cost
savings.
A
G
Be
needed
just
explained
to
originally.
We
came
to
you
and
talked
about
a
project
of
sixteen
million,
we're
seeing
the
bidding
claimant
to
be
very
good.
The
first
bid
that
you
disapproved
was
$500,000
under
under
the
estimated
cost,
and
so
the
project
right
now
we're
estimating
will
be
around
that
14
million,
and
so
it's
not
going
to
be
probably
at
the
16
million
that
we
talked
about.
So
that's
good
news
tonight.
So
that's
why
Jackie's
talking
about
a
14
million
dollar
bonding
process,
rather
than
16
million.
T
G
Again
phase
one
is
the
items
that
you
saw
in
the
map
that
you
have
presented
before
you
tonight,
phase
two
once
that
gets
done,
and
that
will
go
into
the
fall.
So
you
will
get
the
front
end
on
the
Commons
area
out
the
multi-purpose
room
off
the
physical
education
area,
the
music
room,
and
then
what
will
happen
is
is
systematically
throughout
the
school
as
a
remodeling
of
the
school
goes
on,
that'll
be
phase
two,
and
so
in
earnest.
Next
summer,
that'll
really
get
itself
going
and
then
that'll
be
work.
G
Its
way
through
the
building,
as
Jim
will
work
with
the
administration
there
to
make
sure
that
we're
adjusting
a
pod
for
a
period
of
time,
whether
being
remodeled
so
a
lot
of
work
next
summer,
also
and
then
into
the
school
year
to
get
that
remodeling
piece
done.
So
that's
really
the
phase
two.
So
it's
really,
as
I
explained
earlier
today
to
mr.
Springer
will
be
here
from
the
forum.
T
A
K
R
O
O
A
M
A
Right,
there's
a
motion
in
a
second:
is
there
any
discussion
on
this
I
know
there
were
some
items
that
had
we
have
a
few
notes
on
here,
actually
quite
a
few
and
those
could
I
suppose
go
to
governance
for
future
conversation.
Dr.
Schatz,
do
you
have
some
thoughts
on
that?
You
were
looking
at
me.
That's
why
that's.
G
U
Free
I'd
be
glad
to
address
some
of
these
issues.
Actually,
the
first
one
as
you
look
at
number
two,
as
we
talk
about
some
of
the
activities
at
the
elementary
school
dr.,
egri
and
I,
have
spoken
about
that,
one
in
particular,
and
she's
going
to
share
a
little
bit
of
information
on
that
and
then
I'll
come
back
to
the
other
points.
V
Thank
you.
So
this
was
brought
up
last
year
as
well,
and
we
did
a
pretty
extensive
research
and
conversation
with
our
building
principals,
as
well
as
our
outside
entities
that
support
specifically
pictures
school
pictures
and
vision,
screening,
and
so
just
as
a
refresher
at
for
the
schools
that
do
the
school
pictures.
A
PTAs
worked
really
closely
with
the
schools
to
select
which
vendor
they
work
with
and
out
of
our
16
elementary
sites,
15
News
shearling.
So
we
had
Patrick
Sterling
at
a
meeting.
He
is
a
great
partner.
V
He's
also
heard
from
families
that
they
like
the
staggered
payment,
because,
as
a
parent,
you
likely
know
you're
writing
checks
all
over
the
place.
Those
first
days
of
school
when
you
bring
your
child
to
back-to-school
night
so
having
it
delayed,
sometimes
into
September
and
October
parents
were
appreciative
of
the
opportunity
that
maybe
have
that
on
the
next
payment
scale.
He
talked
about
the
fact
that,
typically,
the
way
that
we
run
it
kids
miss
15
minutes
of
instruction.
They
can
run
a
classroom
up.
25
kids
through
in
15
minutes.
I
have
observed
this
in
the
schools.
V
For
those
two
screenings,
they're
missing
30
minutes
for
vision
and
15
for
school
pictures,
if
we
tried
to
bump
that
into
back-to-school
night,
there's
just
a
lot
of
barriers
of
financial
as
well
as
the
fact
that
an
average
we
have
about
70
percent
of
our
students,
k5
that
are
present
at
back-to-school
night.
So
even
if
we
could
make
that
happen,
we'd
have
30
percent
of
our
students.
We'd
have
to
find
time
in
our
day
for
makeups
and
having
them
come
back
to
all
16
sites.
V
U
Then,
just
continuing
through
the
report
as
I
look
at
some
of
the
other
questions.
There
was
a
question
around
were
high
school
students,
part
of
the
calendar
committee,
as
we
built
both
the
calendar
whirring
right
now,
and
the
one
that
will
be
presented
to
you
within
the
next
month
or
so.
The
answer
is
yes,
and
in
fact,
in
both
cases
the
count
the
high
school
students
add
a
tremendous
value
to
the
conversations
I
think
they
were
looked
to
about.
U
How
will
this
impact
you
as
a
student
and
your
peers,
I
know
they
all
took
it
very
seriously:
went
back
and
gathered
additional
feedback
from
other
students
within
the
building
and
I
think
that
was
a
great
ad
that
we
did
as
we
build
our
calendar
committee
and
we
do
plan
to
continue
that
into
the
future.
Another
question
centered
around:
do
we
reach
out
to
our
neighbors
at
West,
Fargo
and
Moorhead?
When
we
look
at
our
calendars,
the
answer
is,
we
certainly
try.
U
So
we'll
continue
to
attempt
that,
but
each
one
of
our
districts
are
on
a
different
schedule
when
it
comes
to
the
development
of
the
calendar,
but
we
do
a
very
nice
job.
Collaborating
together
in
that
same
set
of
questions
came
a
comment
about
surveying
and
and
the
idea
of
continuing
that
into
the
future.
That
is
the
hopes
of
the
calendar
committee.
U
In
fact,
when
we
met
this
year,
we
talked
about
using
the
data
that
was
gathered
last
year,
because
it
was
a
two
year
survey,
but
next
year,
when
we
get
the
calendar
committee
back
together,
starting
even
earlier
to
design
those
survey
questions
to
make
sure
that
we
ask
the
right
things:
our
parents,
our
students
and
our
staff,
and
that
we
get
that
out
in
a
timely
fashion.
So
we
can
use
the
information
as
we
build
future
calendars.
U
Another
piece
talked
about
just
more
information
around
some
educational
best
practice.
If
that
is
around
year
round
school,
around
block,
scheduling
and
I
think
we
would
be
very
happy
to
share
more
information
around
those
topics.
That
would
be
an
extended
presentation
and
we
could
certainly
do
that
or
add
that
to
the
operational
plan
moving
in
the
future.
But
teaching
and
learning
could
certainly
provide
that
for
you
down
the
road,
there
was
a
question
around
how
much
time
teachers
are
out
of
their
classroom
for
professional
development.
U
As
we
look
at
that
what
we
did
is
we
tried
to
look
at
last
year
to
get
kind
of
a
sense
of
where
we're
at,
and
we
went
back
to
a
piece
of
software
that
it's
called
front
line.
That
is
our
absence
management
system,
where
staff
put
in
for
professional
development
days
when
they
they
need
a
substitute
teacher.
U
This
does
not
include
data
if,
for
example,
one
teacher
might
cover
for
another
for
one
period
of
the
day,
so
the
data
may
vary
slightly,
but,
as
we
looked
at,
our
frontline
data
for
1617
about
37%
of
our
staff
were
involved
in
at
least
one
day
of
professional
development
where
they
needed
a
substitute
and
about
18
percent
of
our
staff
up
to
two
days.
So
you
can
see
that's
a
fairly
large
percentage
of
our
staff,
either
one
or
two
days
of
professional
development.
U
It
really
varies
on
the
topics
of
those
professional
development
opportunities
from
anywhere
from
an
adoption
of
a
new
set
of
curriculum
materials
to
help
staff
understand
and
know
on
how
to
use
them.
But
more
recently,
it's
really
focused
in
on
the
work
of
our
collaborative
course
alike.
Teams
as
they
are
working
on.
What's
in
the
strategic
plan,
to
truly
be
a
standards-based
system
and
on
our
strategic
plan
dashboard.
U
When
you
go
to
that
first
goal
and
you
look
at
standards-based
education,
you
see
all
of
the
dials
that
are
there
that
are
all
the
different
courses
and
classes
within
the
system
and
that's
really
tracking
progress
towards
getting
us
to
be
a
true
standards-based
system.
Developing
what
those
essential
learning
outcomes
are
developing
the
formative
and
summative
assessments
that
will
be
used
across
the
system
and
then
using
those
in
our
professional
learning
communities.
Where
then,
we
really
get
to
some
of
the
core
questions
of
a
professional
learning
community.
A
Well,
it
was
very
beneficial
for
you
to
be
sharing
that
information
tonight,
rather
than
us
waiting.
Otherwise
we
would
have
been
on
pins
and
needles.
Just
wondering
answers
to
these
questions.
So
does
anyone
have
any
other
questions?
I
Jennifer
had
a
few
comments
on
there
and
so
did
I.
My
questions
have
been
answered:
Thank
You
Jennifer.
Do
you
need
any
additional
information?
A
Okay
and
then
dr.
gross,
as
you
mentioned,
the
number
six
that
is
in
regard
to
information
regarding
block
scheduling,
research
behind
a
year-round
calendar
option.
That
was
the
comment
there.
If
we
could
plan
to
have
some
additional
information
back
on
on
that
item,
as
you
mentioned,
that
would
be
great
all
right
all
right.
If
there
is
no
other
discussion,
we
will
have
the
role
called.
Please
Henry.

We
need
to
do
some
work
on
that
first,
and
we
can,
if
we
have
some
decisions
made
on
that,
we
will
provide
an
update,
but
as
well
as
the
maybe
the
public
doesn't
all
know
that
we
have
had
someone
accept
our
invitation
to
serve
as
our
next
superintendent,
mr.
Gandhi,
and
so
we
are
in
the
process
of
working
on
finalizing
that
contract.
And
so,
if
there
is
a
motion
for
executive
session,
we
will
have
some
of
that
conversation.
There
I
I.
