Fargo Public Schools - Board of Education Meeting - Live Broadcast - April 9, 2019
A
B
C
A
D
Fargo
Public
Schools
was
a
partner
in
a
grant
with
path
and
with
seek,
and
the
grant
is
to
implement
a
and
we
have
the
four
in
front
of
you,
but
a
full-service
community
school.
The
grant
is
a
five-year
grant
and
tonight
to
tell
you
about.
The
grant
is
the
principal
of
Jefferson
school
Brad,
Franklin
Keely
Irie
from
seek
and
Heather
semanas
from
path.
E
Good
evening,
thanks
for
the
opportunity
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
more
about
our
full-service
community,
grant
our
Community
Schools
grant
I'm
Heather
Simonet
from
path
and
just
to
give
you
a
big
picture
of
this
and
then
we'll
talk
specifically
about
how
it
impacts
Fargo,
Public
Schools.
This
was
a
grant
submitted
to
the
US
Department
of
Education.
E
So
the
initial
portion
of
the
grant
or
the
first
couple
years
is
working
intensely
with
our
demonstration
sites
that
were
selected
in
North
Dakota,
one
of
which
is
Jefferson
Elementary
here
in
Fargo,
another
is
Washington
in
Minot,
Washington
Elementary
in
Minot,
and
then
Mary
snart,
Mary
stark
in
Mandan,
and
those
schools
were
selected
strategically
because
of
their
work
with
community
partners
in
enhancing
the
services
and
supports
that
are
available
to
the
kids
and
their
families
in
their
school.
I
have
had
the
good
fortune
of
over
the
years
working
with
mr.
E
Franklin
on
several
initiatives
related
to
trauma,
sensitive
schools
and
building
community
partnerships,
to
enhance
our
ability
to
support
kids
and
families
and
recognize
his
work
in
the
community
outside
of
the
school
building
to
help
meet
the
needs
of
those
students,
and
so
Jefferson
was
selected
strategically
and
and
we
will
work
to
kind
of
showcase
their
work
and
enhance
any
needs
that
are
identified
and
he'll
talk
to
you
a
bit
about
those
in
terms
of
his
priorities.
And
then
there
are
three
pilot
sites
that
will
be
announced
very
soon.
E
We
had
seven
different
school
districts
apply
to
be
pilot
sites,
they
have
to
be
small
in
rural
schools
and
then
they
will
be
paired
up
and
learned
from
our
demonstration
sites
about
the
full
service,
Community
Schools
model
and
so
I'm.
Gonna
have
these
to
say
a
few
more
words
and
then
we'll
take
questions
at
the
end.
As
a
group
I'm.
F
Brad
Franklin
principal
at
Jefferson,
Elementary,
mrs.
Simon
achai.
We
developed
this
grant
or
finalized
it
over
July
4th.
Last
week,
the
last
summer
I
was
in
the
boat
and
she
was
in
San
Diego
and
when
then
we
were
in
conference,
call
fluke
Schafer's.
So
that's
all
this
all
originated.
We've
worked
with
each
other
over
the
years
through
trauma,
training,
also
with
Jefferson
connectors
chip,
a
merman
with
Cass
County
social
services.
We
had
Thomas
Hill
with
United
Way
and
working
with
charism.
We
did
create
a
Jefferson
connectors.
F
It's
been
in
it's
probably
five,
six
years
now,
which
has
really
opened
some
doors
for
opportunities
to
partner
with
outside
organizations
that
we
all
kind
of
shared.
What
our
expertise
is,
and
we
all
could
kind
of
my
could
share
space
and
time
they
could
use
our
building
to
provide
their
services.
So
we're
kind
of
building
off
that
and
on
the
sheet
you
can
see.
There's
some
there's
eight
pipelines
that
federal
government
calls
them
but
fulle.
It
says
on
the
sheet
full
service
community
schools
in
motion.
So
there's
three
areas
that
we've
identified.
F
We
have
implement
a
team,
that's
met
and
the
first
one
is
social,
health,
nutrition
and
mental
health
sports.
So
we've
hired
through
path
a
case
manager
and
they'll
be
servicing
up
to
eight
to
twelve
families
every
year
the
goal
would
be
12
and
we've
it's
in
motion
right
now.
We've
met
with
two
families
today
and
that
will
provide
supports
for
the
student.
It
could
be
navigating
through
them
just
getting
appointments,
getting
them
to
appointments.
There's
some
in-home
and
it
carries
over
over
the
summer
months
too.
F
So
I'm
excited
about
that
and,
like
I
said,
that's
that's
happening
right
now,
the
other
two
that
we
identified,
one
is
under
family
and
community
engagement,
Mike
Beaton.
It's
funny.
He
called
me
a
month
ago
wondering
how
we
can
get
more
students
involved.
If
you
look
at
Jefferson
in
Fargo
self,
that's
something
not
just
athletically,
but
even
with
the
arts,
so
we're
trying
to
figure
out
how
we
can
get
our
students
involved
in
community
community
sports.
F
Any
type
of
activity
in
the
community
I
think
the
model
that
currently
exists
isn't
real
successful
for
our
families.
If
it's
not
a
jefferson,
if
it's
not
in
the
Arbor
parks,
community
homes
area,
they're,
just
not
involved
in
and
maybe
what
we
take
for
granted
with
our
home
and
our
children,
so
we
want
to
really
expand
that
maybe
it
means
bringing
some
of
those
opportunities
right
to
our
building
could
be
Taekwondo.
They
do
it
at
Jefferson.
So
we
want
to
explore
that
and
the
other
one
is
early
childhood.
F
If
we
think
about
our
kindergarteners
that
come
to
Jefferson,
I
would
say
a
fifth
to
a
quarter,
maybe
have
some
experience
prior
to
coming
to
to
Jefferson
for
kindergarten,
so
that
may
be
head
start
or
they
may
be
over
at
Agassiz.
A
couple
things
we
have
done
already
is
we
have
al
Summer
School
in
June
and
we
started,
and
we
have
about
12
students
that
we
can
identify.
So
Thomas
Hill
is
passionate
about
this.
This
goal
through
United
Way.
F
So
that's
an
area
that
we're
gonna
focus
on
as
well,
because
we
just
see
that
our
our
students
are
coming
not
prepared
and
they're
already
behind
before
they
enter
the
doors
compared
to
maybe
some
other
schools.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
can
provide
for
them
before
they
come
through
the
Oh
Jefferson.
So
those
are
the
areas
that
we're
gonna
focus
on
and
we
do
have
some
innovation
funds
that
we
can
use
to
help.
You
know
be
creative
in
trying
to
tackle
some
of
these
projects
so.
G
All
right
and
I'm
Keely
from
the
southeast
education
cooperative
and
we
serve
as
a
Regional
Education
Association
as
a
regional
coordinator
for
the
full
service.
Community
Schools
grants,
along
with
the
MDE,
see
out
of
Minot
and
then
the
MRE
see
out
in
Bismarck,
and
so
really
we
are
serving
as
a
liaison
between
the
school
and
then
also
with
the
North
Dakota
full
service,
Community
Schools
consortium
and
as
the
consortium,
we're
really
just
working
to
build
like
a
statewide
infrastructure
for
a
full
service,
Community
School.
G
So
learning
from
our
demonstration
sites
and
being
that
connector
to
our
upcoming
pilot
sites
and
so
learning
from
those
demo
sites
and
being
able
to
transfer
some
of
those
learnings
to
our
pilot
sites.
Also
just
to
help
with
evaluation
type
of
things
and
reporting
from
the
federal
level
to
the
from
the
school
level.
So
just
trying
to
serve
as
a
helper
in
that
arena
and
then
also
just
want
to
be
a
support
to
the
demo
sites
themselves.
G
And
so
we've
established
a
demo
demonstration
site
network
and
so
that
Brad
can
learn
from
what's
happening
in
Minot
and
what's
happening
in
Mandan
as
well.
And
then
also
one
of
the
pieces
of
the
grant
for
the
demonstration
sites
is
a
site
coordinator
and
having
some
funding
that
has
been
set
aside
so
that
a
site
coordinator
can
be
within
the
Jefferson
School
and
being
that
connector
to
those
different
neighborhood
groups
and
then
also
with
those
community
partners.
That
may
be
that
they're
already
utilizing.
G
But
what
can
we
build
upon
to
help
those
pipeline
services
be
enhanced
or
be,
or
you
know,
come
alive
within
that
Jefferson
School
as
well?
So
that's
something
that's
kind
of
unique
I
would
say
to
this
Grant
and
something
that
is
being
provided
through
the
full
service,
Community
Schools,
Network
and
then
being
able
to
provide
support
to
the
site
coordinators
in
all
three
of
the
demonstration
sites
as
well.
So
that's
kind
of
in
a
nutshell,
I
would
say
from
our
three
perspectives
on
the
full
service,
Community
Schools
and
what's
happening
here
in
Fargo.
G
Like
Brad
said
you
know
we,
this
is
kind
of
a
new
grant
and
we
just
started
this
school
year.
So
it's
really
learning
from
where
we're
our
current
stages
and
then
moving
towards
that
desired
state.
So
we
appreciate
you
guys
taking
the
time
to
hear
more
about
the
grant
and
being
supportive
of
the
work
that's
happening
over
at
Jefferson
and
just
really
being
a
statewide
model
for
our
grants
throughout
North
Dakota
as
well.
So
thank
you
again.
H
Where
do
we
start
things
like
this
wouldn't
happen
if
it
didn't
have
a
supportive
building
administration,
so
Brad?
Thank
you
for
embracing
this
model
and
I
have
a
little
bit
of
background,
because
I
serve
on
the
badges
of
unity
board
with
the
Community
Trust
officers,
which
you've
also
embraced,
and
the
Jefferson
the
Jefferson
connectors
models.
So
these
things
wouldn't
happen
without
your
support.
A
couple
of
things
that
I've
learned
is
Jefferson
has
one
of
the
lowest
numbers
of
counselor
referrals
in
the
district.
H
Now,
isn't
that
odd,
when
you
have
some
of
the
highest
need
and
lowest
income
children,
so
that
in
do
I
beat
that
to
the
wraparound
services
that
you
have
embraced
and
when
I
heard
that
from
I
believe
it
was
from
Amy
Ricky?
Oh,
that
was.
That
was
astonishing
to
me.
So
thank
you
for
the
work
that
you
do
there,
community
partnerships
or
where
it's
at
am
I
wrong,
and
so
you
guys
have
really
leveraged
that
and
I
and
I
again.
I.
H
E
Can
just
make
one
remark
to
that
and
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
because,
with
without
an
initial
letter
of
support
to
even
apply
for
this
grant
from
Fargo
public
schools,
we
would
not
have
received
it,
and
so
it
takes
some
courage
and
vulnerability
on
behalf
of
all
of
you
to
figure
out
how
we
work
in
a
different
way,
together
with
our
community
and
leverage
these
partnerships
to
serve
our
kids.
And
so
thank
you
for
that.
E
A
I
F
Yeah,
so
that
is
something
that
we
would
explore.
I
do
think
if
it's
in
the
neighborhood
at
Jefferson
and/or
the
charism
area
that
they
will
come,
but
if
we
can
have
transportation
or
especially
like
I
kind
of
weekend,
if
we
think
we
have
soccer
up
by
in
North
Fargo,
it
would
be
easy
for
us
families
to
get
there,
but
there's
a
lot
of
single
families
that
maybe
don't
have
flexibility
to
get
them
there
or
there's
like
the
transfer
black
of
transportation.
F
E
Would
just
add
so
so
the
case
management
is
a
small
like
one
support
of
this
entire
grant,
that's
available
to
all
three
of
the
demonstration
sites
at
a
half-time
level,
and
so
it's
an
initial
pilot
to
see
how
how
we
can
get
the
partnership
to
work.
So
the
case
manager
can
take
about
eight
students
at
any
given
time
and
so
to
hang
on
how
long
they
received
the
service
it's
hard
to
predict
how
long
they'll
get
it.
E
Other
thing
I
would
just
add
to
that
is
this
is
also
a
bigger
conversation
at
the
state
level
about
how
to
sustain
this,
with
Medicaid
funding
for
eligible
students
at
a
district-wide
level
versus
just
Jefferson,
so
it's
serving
multiple
functions
to
have
the
opportunity
to
try
it
with
Jefferson.
Thank
you.
C
I
H
One
last
comment:
I
do
need
to
give
a
shout
out
to
charism.
They
started
your
check
and
connect
program.
They
actually
go
to
the
houses
to
get
the
kids
to
bring
them
to
school.
That
doesn't
always
happen
in
out.
If
for
a
lot
of
our
schools
and
something
that
simple,
you
know
what
the
kids
now
want
to
come
to
school.
That
was
a
huge
huge
project
for
charism,
so
John
Fisher
and
his
team
also
deserve
a
shout
out.
So
go
charism.
F
Yes
and
I
want
to
just
do
this
all
started.
I
think
a
lot
of
it
started
our
opportunity
to
to
work
with
Heather
with
chip
Ammerman.
We
were
just
kind
of
brainstorming,
a
no
chip
outside
of
our
profession,
and
how
can
we
can
reduce
referrals?
There
mainly
be
proactive
with
our
families
and
that
got
a
partnership
with
charism
and
then
also
Thomas
hell
with
United
Way
and
at
all
of
a
sudden,
there's
more
partnerships
and
organizations
that
just
kind
of
came
on
board
with
our
Jefferson
connectors
and
it
just
made
connections
for
me.
F
We
learned
what
the
challenge
is,
why
they're
not
getting
to
school
and
then
we're
trying
to
work
with
what
the
parent,
because
I
really
think
they
want
them
to
be
successful
at
school
and
at
school.
So
how
can
we
partner
with
them
to
you
know
create
that
positive
relationship
with
us
and
it's
a
we
can
work
together
and
it's
gonna
be
better
for
the
students,
so
it
it's
really
that
that
approach
I
think
that's
important.
A
Well,
thank
you
very
much.
This
definitely
goes
along
with
the
discussions
that
we've
been
having
as
a
as
a
district.
The
task
forces
that
we've
had
community-wide
and
just
the
the
Greater
asks
that
that
K
through
12
education
is,
is
being
pushed
for,
so
full
service
community
schools
definitely
describes
I
think
what
is
being
asked
of
public
education
and
it'll
be
wonderful
to
gain
the
knowledge
from
what
is
going
on
at
Jefferson
and
and
see
how
that
can
be
leveraged
down
the
road
and
expanded.
A
D
J
J
My
name
is
Susan
Peterson
and
I
am
the
teacher
leader
for
Reading
Recovery,
which
means
that
I
have
sort
of
a
two-fold
job
and
is
that
I
have
the
wonderful
opportunity
to
train
teachers
in
Reading,
Recovery
and
work
with
Reading
Recovery
trained
teachers
to
provide
ongoing
professional
development
and
I
also
get
to
work
with
children.
So
putting
the
work
that
I
do
with
children
to
use
with
the
adult
learners
as
well.
J
J
So,
first
of
all,
for
those
of
you
that
aren't
or
don't
know
what
reading
recovery
it
is,
it
is
a
short-term
reading
intervention
for
our
lowest
achieving
first
grade
students
based
on
a
set
of
six
assessment
tasks
that
we
do
at
the
beginning
of
first
grade.
It
is
daily
30-minute
lessons
one
to
one
and
the
most
important
piece
about
reading
recovery.
J
J
K
Our
chances
of
going
into
long-term
recovery
are
going
up
significantly.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
meeting
those
needs
right
away
at
the
right
time
and
as
early
as
possible.
We
have
kids
that
we
have
tracked
and
reading
recovery
that
have
made
significant
progress
and
with
those
particular
kids.
K
When
you
see
the
gap
closing
and
by
the
end
of
their
20
weeks,
we're
just
about
there
either
we're
there
or
we're
closed
and
that's
a
situation
where,
if
we
weren't
able
to
close
that
gap,
that
guy
is
probably
going
to
continue
to
widen
because
a
classroom
has
moved
on-
and
you
know
in
this
particular
case
we're
able
to
close
that
gap.
And
that
keeps
us
from
needing
to
go
to
more
intense
interventions
such
as
special
education
or
long-term
services.
M
N
Learned
so
much
through
reading
recovery,
training
and
then
ongoing
professional
development.
It's
completely
changed
the
way
that
I
think
about
reading
I
used
to
teach
third
grade
and
I
had
older
readers
and
I
felt
like
at
that
point.
If
they
were
still
struggling,
it
wasn't
quite
sure
how
to
start
with
them
or
how
to
help
them
or
how
to
get
underneath.
N
What
they
need
and
now
I
feel
like
I
can
really
zero
in
on
what
their
needs
are
and
help
each
child
grow
because
I'm
having
time
to
be
with
them,
one-on-one
and
really
analyze
what
it
is
that
they
need
and
prompt
them
according
to
what
their
strengths
are
and
help
them
focus
in
on
what
strategies
they
need
to
move
forward.
We.
O
Q
It's
vital
to
have
the
Reading
Recovery
teachers
as
a
part
of
our
MTS
s
team.
They
are
a
liaison
between
that
team
and
classroom
teachers.
They
provide
support,
they
provide
professional
development
and
progress,
monitoring
and
instructional
strategies
that
that
can
be
used
and
so
having
them
on
a
team
like
that.
Certainly
having
members
on
our
school
improvement
team
is
a
valuable
piece,
because
their
perspective
is
in
terms
of
our
approach
to
reading
and
strategy
that
we
can
use
and
develop
with
all
of
our
teachers
is,
is
critical.
U
When
I
came,
I
didn't
know
how
to
read
in
English
and
then
when
I
was
with
mrs.
Thompson
like
every
every
day,
I
read
to
her
and
I
can
really
just
a
little
better
and
now
I'm
a
great
reader
from
my
bed,
I
heard
mama
and
papa
talking
low
at
the
kitchen
table.
They
sounded
worried,
but
I
couldn't
make
up
their
words
at
first
then
I
heard
Papa
say
that's
what
family
is
for.
No
nephew
of
mine
is
going
to
be
out
on
the
streets.
V
Reading
recovery
affected
my
daughter's
schooling,
by
helping
her
become
more
confident
in
reading
and
writing
things
at
home
with
me
that
she
originally
wasn't
comfortable
with
when
she
first
started.
She
was
doing
great
as
a
second
grader
she's,
more
confident.
She
reads
books
a
lot
to
me
now.
She's,
writing
all
the
time
she
stops
in
to
see
her
teacher
just
to
let
her
know.
You
know
she's
still
doing
what
she
started
in
kindergarten,
basically
just
advancing
it's
so
amazing.
J
J
On
average
students
start
reading
recovery
on
a
text
level
one.
So
you
can
see
the
picture
up
there
of
what
a
text
level.
One
looks
like
pattern.
Text
and
I
have
some
examples
that
I'll
share
in
just
a
minute,
and
then
you
can
see
that
the
average
increase
in
text
level
is
up
to
text
level
16
so
between
those
the
twelve
to
twenty
weeks
on
average
they're
at
sixteen,
so
I'll
pass
those
around.
So
you
can
see
what
they
look
like.
J
And,
as
you
saw
from
the
parent
surveys,
if
you've
gotten
a
chance
to
read
those,
it's
really
fun
for
us
to
see
what
parents
think
after
they,
their
student
has
had
a
chance
to
be
in
reading
recovery.
Many
parents
feel
that
their
students
have
really
gained
in
confidence.
They
see
that
they
have
improved
in
all
areas
of
their
education,
not
just
in
reading
I'll
share
one
little
snippet
for
you.
J
So
the
final
thing
I
just
want
to
share
with
you
is
Reading.
Recovery
is
a
comprehensive
literacy
approach
and
we
look
at
comprehensive
literacy
instruction
in
Fargo
for
a
variety
of
reasons,
but
one
is
thinking
about
the
way
the
brain
works
and
how
the
fact
that
different
areas
of
the
brain
are
needed
to
be
working
together
when
a
child
is
reading.
J
And
so
when
we
work
on
connected
text
reading
and
connected
text
writing
children
are
activating
and
using
all
those
areas
of
the
brain
at
once,
and
so
it's
really
vital
that
we
have
those
programs
where
they
do
get
that
opportunity
to
make
those
that
brain
networking
through
the
different
areas
that
are
needed
for
reading
and
before
I
finish.
I
want
to
introduce
Alicia
to
you.
She
was
the
girl.
She
was
the
one
on
the
video
and
her
teacher,
mrs.
Thompson,
who
taught
her
reading
recovery
at
Lincoln.
W
J
U
Chapter
one,
the
Frog,
Mabel
Trent
said
and
laughed
do
you
remember
the
Frog,
mrs.
Shelton
laughs,
of
course,
I.
Remember
it
it
jumped
out
of
your
desk.
I'm
scared,
miss
Donovan,
poor,
miss
Donovan,
Mabel
Trent
said
she
dropped
her
books
and
yells
at
the
frog
get
out
of
my
class,
mrs.
Shelton
left
and
he
put
cream
cheese
and
mr.
Casper's
jar
of
white
paint.
She
said
you
sure,
did
some
crazy
things:
cam
Johnson
whispered
to
her
friend
Eric
Shelton.
She
must
have
gotten
into
lots
of
trouble
in
school,
mama
laughs.
U
X
Not
sort
of
question
but
I
was
just
at
the
national
school
board
convention
the
annual
one
and
and
once
again
we
hear
how
important
it
is
to
find
these
things.
We
know
what's
necessary
for
success.
We
know
what
to
look
for
early
in
a
kid's
life
and
it's
just
just
another
confirmation
that
we're
doing
so
many
things
right
here.
This
has
been
the
artist
for
20
years
and
so
kudos
to
you
and
your
team
and
let's
keep
it
going.
Thank
you.
Thank.
H
I
had
the
opportunity
to
sit
in
a
session
for
reading
recovery
and
I
believe
it
was
at
Jefferson
and
it
was
very
powerful
and
it
was
a
retired
teacher,
but
at
the
time
of
her
retirement,
which
was
probably
three
or
four
years
ago,
she
was
concerned
with
the
number
of
teachers
that
are
training
up
into
this
program
is.
Is
that
still
a
concern?
Are
you
feeling
good
about
how
many
providers
there
are
at
each
at
each
school.
J
H
J
A
Want
to
say
that
we're
a
Reading,
Recovery
family,
my
in
my
household
and
these
books
are
very
familiar
to
me.
I
have
children
that
are
now
freshman,
but
at
that
at
that
grade
that
first
grade
level
used
books
that
they
are
either
those
same
books
or
books
that
are
very
similar
and
it
was
so
I
would
have
filled
out
a
survey
similar
to
what
the
other
ones
were,
that
we
all
had
the
opportunity
to
read
and
as
a
parent
to
it
was
very,
very
refreshing
to
be
able
to
feel
like.
A
We
had
a
little
bit
more
to
work
with
with
our
with
our
child
and
had
a
little
bit
more
of
a
plan
and
ability
at
home
to
help
her
as
she
was
reading.
So,
in
addition
to
the
work
that
was
done
at
school
and
helping
the
daughter
helping
our
daughter,
it
also
helped
us
I
think
as
parents
work
with
her
better
excellent
excellent
program.
Thank
you,
yeah.
Thank
you.
A
You're
welcome,
hopefully
you
have
all
the
books
back.
Thank
you
for
reading
to
us
this
evening.
You
did
wonderfully
fabulous
reader,
okay

of
the

minutes.
Thank

joining
us.
Thank.
Z
You
I'm
kind
of
well-known
by
some
of
you.
Some
of
you
are
probably
waiting
like,
oh
god,
I
can't
wait,
til
she
gets
out
of
this
high
school
system
or
whatever
cuz
I
say
what
I
want
I
come
here
to
you
tonight
and
I
wish.
It
was
as
happy
as
you've
heard
now,
but
I
hate
to
tell
you
it's
not.
Is
there
any
reason
why
we
would
ever
prematurely
want
to
lose
a
child
by
their
own
hand,
my
son
recently,
let
me
in
and
I'm
proud
mom
that
he
was
able
to
do
this
with
me.
Z
Show
me
some
of
the
social
media
that
was
being
written
between
our
students.
Let
me
tell
you
it
made
me
uncomfortable.
It
made
me
think
that
wow
are
people
worthless
on
some
cases.
These
kids,
in
my
day,
Kristie
happens
to
be.
She
went
to
school
with
me.
She
knows
back
in
our
day
in
our
school,
you
had
to
tell
people.
If
you
had
a
problem
with
them
face
to
face,
you
had
to
see
their
reactions.
Z
You
had
to
know
if
you
hurt
them
in
a
way
that
was
unbearable
for
them,
this
social
media,
they
write
it
and
they
just
don't
even
forget
a
they
forget
about
it.
I,
don't
even
think
the
kids
know
the
impact
they're
having
on
other
children
until
it
turns
on
them.
Recently,
like
I
said,
my
son
showed
me
some
of
the
social
media
and
it
was
stuff
like
don't
you
dare
come
to
school
because
we'll
make
sure
nobody
talks
to
you
stuff,
like
that.
Z
It's
like
that's
threats
to
me,
but
it's
on
snapchat,
so
it
disappears
right
away
unless
somebody
saves
it,
so
we're
not
being
held
accountable
for
anything
and
why
I'm
coming
here
today
is
not
to
ask
the
school
to
be
accountable
for
it,
because
I
know
that
in
the
legislation
I
think
they're
asking
for
that
I
think
that's
ridiculous.
We
just
spent
a
weekend
with
the
superintendent
at
Cavalier
school
because
he
happens
to
be
a
very
dear
friend
of
my
families,
and
he
told
me
about
and
I
said:
that's
not
the
answer.
The
answer
is
everybody.
Z
Working
together
together
we
stand
divided,
we
fall
and
there's
no.
If
ands
or
buts
about
of
that,
we
need
to
work
together,
it's
parents,
it's
other
kids.
We
need
to
I'm
asking
you
guys
to
maybe
think
outside
the
box
we
have
kids
who
love
to
perform,
what
about
some
lunch
periods,
having
little
skits
for
those
kids
to
do
to
show
how
much
you
can
hurt
another
person
by
this?
It's
we
don't
see
kids
getting
together
all
the
time
unless
they're
in
some
activities
where
they
work
together.
Z
Now
you
see
kids,
where
they
stay
at
home,
they're
on
the
video
games
and
they're,
texting
or
snapchatting.
This
is
where
the
problem
with
that
is
social,
media
and
stuff
is
great
and
a
lot
of
respects,
but
when
it's
gonna
cause
our
kids
to
feel
worthless
enough
to
wanna
go
and
do
something
to
themselves,
because
they
feel
that
way.
Some
parents
are
not
aware
that
this
is
happening.
Z
I'm,
a
mother
who
buried
a
child
that
only
lived
24
hours
long,
so
I'm
not
like
oblivious
to
what
the
hurt
is
I've,
also
been
by
mothers,
who
have
had
to
bury
their
children
from
being
found
in
the
basement
hung
by
their
younger
siblings.
This
is
serious
and
I
just
think
that
I
want
people
to
start
thinking
out
of
the
box
to
try
to
help
our
students
deal
with
this.
Z
When
my
son
helped
I
helped
him
walk
through
another
student
struggling
well,
then,
two
weeks
it
turned
on
my
son
and
those
same
students
turned
against
him
for
kind
of
knowing
what
to
do,
and
then
he
started
feeling
bad
and
it's
like
he
goes
I,
don't
know
how
to
handle
this
mom
I,
don't
know
what
to
do.
Thank
God
I
heard
those
words
so
that
I
can
start.
My
son
has
so
many
adult
things
going
on
in
his
life.
He
is
in
police
explorers.
He
is
sheriff
Laney
and
Sheriff
John
Orr's
junior
deputy.
Z
He
is
a
lifeguard.
He
is
all
these
things
in
around
adults
he's
also
a
hockey
ref
and
around
adults
he's
amazing.
He
can
talk
to
you
like.
We
can
talk
to
each
other,
but
you
get
him
near
as
no
peers
he's
pure
awkward.
He
doesn't
know
how
to
be
that
young
and
with
this
little
thing
that
happened
with
him,
I
made
some
of
his
mentor's
aware
and
I'm
gonna.
Z
Tell
you
a
little
story
about
this,
because
it
amazed
me
I
had
let
one
of
them
was
Jesse
John
er,
our
sheriff
I
had
let
him
know
that
Michael
was
struggling
with
some
social
media
stuff
I
called
him
in.
He
goes.
Let
Michael
know
what
happened
to
me
during
social
media
during
this
time
that
I
ran
for
sheriff
and
I
thought
I.
Don't
want
Michael
to
know
that
Jesse
knows
yet.
Z
I
was
just
letting
Jesse
be
aware
that,
along
with
some
other
mentors
that
I
might
need
their
help
because
I'm
a
single
mom
well
I,
was
calling
one
of
Michael's
other
mentors
that
were
coming
to
get
him
to
take
him
to
the
forest
game
and
keep
him
busy
and
stuff,
because
he
was
struggling
a
little
bit.
I
accidentally
dialed
Jesse,
Donner's
number
and
I
hurry
up
and
hung
it
up.
Really
quick
thinking.
Okay,
I
got
this.
No,
he
didn't
even
bring
on
his
side.
Z
I
was
talking
to
the
other
person
and
Jesse
johner
was
beeping
through.
He
knew
how
serious
this
can
be,
and
he
took
the
time
out
fighting
a
flood.
Doing
all
these
things,
to
make
sure
that
my
son
and
I
were
okay,
I,
hurry
up
in
text
him
and
said
I
accidentally
called
you.
If
you
need
us
for
something
call
me
back,
if
not
don't
bother.
The
other
thing
that
I
want
you
guys
to
recognize
is
that
through
email,
I
worked
with
Michaels
us
in
principle
and
I
also
worked
with
the
counselor,
and
they
were
amazing.
Z
We
had
a
rough
first
year
because
Michael
every
time
my
son
does
a
change.
It
kind
of
gets
a
little
loppy,
but
this
year
he's
doing
great
and
I
was
able
to
email
those
people
so
that
they
know
when
I
say
something
something's
going
on
and
they
were
able
to
help
me
with
Michael
in
the
school
a
part
of
it.
But
how
many
parents
have
that?
How
many,
especially
single
parents,
or
even
people,
who
have
two
parents,
what
kind
of
a
relationship
do
they
have
with
their
child
or
does
their
child
want
their
parent?
A
You
for
coming
here
this
evening
we
do
have
to
move
on
with
the
rest
of
our
agenda.
If
you
would
like
to
share
some
additional
comments
with
us,
please
feel
free
to
email,
us
or
reach
out
to
us,
or
you
know,
come
and
speak
to
us
again,
but
we
will
take
note
of
the
information
and
and
your
concerns
that
you
shared
with
us
to
me.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
all
right.
O
A
AA
For
the
superintendent
report,
I
just
wanted
to
give
the
board
an
update
on
some
of
the
work
that
we're
doing
around
the
Safety
Committee.
As
the
board
knows,
the
board
directed
administration
to
work
in
collaboration
with
FAA
to
address
some
safety
concerns
in
the
district,
and
although
that
committee
kind
of
met
and
accomplished
at
school
during
prior
to
Christmas,
break
and
presented
the
recommendations,
we
thought
it's
important
to
go
a
step
further
and
talk
about
how
do
we
implement
those
recommendations
as
well?
AA
So
the
safety
community
has
reconvened
and
met
twice
already
this
semester
and
started
prioritizing.
Some
of
the
biggest
recommendations
that
we
haven't
been
able
to
take
administration
has
available
to
implement
already
one
of
those
being
increased
training
for
paraprofessionals
being
looking
at
staffs
social,
emotional
wellness
and
then
also
looking
at
behavior
flow,
charts
or
matrixes
for
for
handling
student
behavior.
And
what
is
the
consistent
practices?
Look
like
across
a
district.
We
as
administration
have
told
that
Safety
Committee
that
we
as
a
group
every
member.
That's
part
of
that
committee.
AA
That
includes
staff
members
from
all
different
from
different
departments
and
different
schools
throughout
our
district.
We're
gonna
take
on
that
charge,
so
we're
gonna
own
that
safety
piece
and
whatever
the
recommendations
come
out
of
that
administration
is
gonna,
build
into
their
budget
for
next
year.
So
we
can
support
that
and
make
some
immediate
action
as
well.
So
we're
looking
at
developing
some
implementation,
trackers
that
we've
posted
for
all
of
our
staff
to
see
on
our
staff
sharepoint
website
and
what
we
will
be
doing
is
by
the
end
of
May
we'll
take.
AA
Some
will
have
some
trackers
of
some
things.
We're
gonna
implement
right
off
the
bat
for
the
start
of
the
next
school
year
and
that's
gonna
be
how
we're
gonna
move
forward
with
those
recommendations.
No
legislative
updates
from
me.
It's
it's
conference
committee
time
and
I
think
there
is
some
things
that
we're
looking
at
collectively
as
a
district,
but
I
think
Robin,
we'll
probably
all
to
cover
those
in
her
update.
All.
A
A
X
A
R
Yes,
thank
you,
president
Knutson,
the
ad
hoc
committee
was
formed
and
it
had
Jennifer
and
John
and
myself
on
it.
I
met
with
mr.
Gandhi
and
then
met
with
John
and
Jennifer
and,
as
you
can
see,
there
is
some
explanation
first,
and
so
there
are
two
different
recommendations
coming
from
the
ad
hoc
committee
and
the
first
one.
First
of
all,
does
anyone
have
questions?
X
A
I
I
X
X
R
Christie,
the
second
recommendation
I
move
that
the
board
issue
a
contract
to
the
superintendent
for
the
2019
through
21
school
year,
with
a
salary
of
two
hundred
and
ten
thousand
plus
the
across-the-board
percentage
increase
provided,
2fps
teacher
staff
and
administration
through
the
2019
FBA
board
negotiation.
In
order
to
align
all
FPS
employee
salary
increases.
The
contract
will
be
executed
upon
the
conclusion
of
the
negotiations
with
the
FAA
there's.
X
B
I'm
gonna
actually
vote
against
this
recommendation,
not
because
I
don't
believe
you
deserve
a
raise,
but
I
think
this
is
really
really
bad
policy.
First
of
all,
what
we
do
in
negotiations
affects
our
teachers.
It
does
not
set
the
salaries
for
our
staff
administration.
That's
a
function
for
our
superintendent.
To
do
this
would
imply
that
whatever
we
give,
the
teachers
automatically
goes
to
everybody
else.
That
may
be
what's
happened
in
the
past,
but
that's
strictly
because
of
a
superintendent
decision.
I
just
think
this
is
flat-out.
A
H
Jim
I
agree
with
you,
I'll,
be
voting
against
this
portion
of
the
recommendation.
I
think
the
intent
was
sincere.
It's
very
very
delicate
conversation
as
we
talk
about
this
through
negotiations.
It
adds
a
level
of
complexity
that
I,
don't
think,
is
necessary,
so
I
am
not
in
any
way
opposed
to
compensating
you
more
because
you're
doing
a
tremendous
job,
but
I
wanted
to
state
on
the
record
that
I
will
be
voting
against
this.
For,
for
philosophical
reasons,.
AB
Would
have
to
agree
with
what
Jim
and
Robin
have
said.
Faa
negotiations
involving
the
teachers
in
my
mind,
should
be
completely
separate
from.
However,
we
decide
to
negotiate
with
the
administration
they're,
not
a
part
of
the
FAA
and
I,
don't
think
tying.
The
two
together
is
necessarily
the
correct
way
to
do
it.

Well,
good
luck!
Thank
you.
Yeah.
Thank
you
for
the
diligence
effort.
Moving
on

be

Update
memo

this.
There
was
a
suggestion
that
there
be
a
line
removed
on
item
number
six
on
this
policy
and
Jim
I'm.
Thinking
that
this
might
have
been
your
recommendation,
although
I
could
I
could
be
incorrect
on
that,
so
the
board
superintendent
relationship
policies
were
monitored
for
compliance
at
the
February
26th
board.
A
X
X
I
I
A
I
I
It
was
kind
of
funny
how
you'd
see
other
board
members
and
he
had
no,
that
are
from
Fargo
that
you
weren't
talking
to
them
and
they
were
there
at
the
same
event.
So
I
was
good
and
the
only
other
thing
that
I
was
at
last
night
at
Davies.
They
had
the
National
Honor
Society,
and
that
was
pretty
cool
lots
of
good
good
stuff
there.
So
thank.
C
Thank
you,
I
also
attended
the
national
conference
and
lots
of
information,
so
it
was,
it
was
fabulous
and
then
tomorrow,
I
have
my
Clara
Barton,
Hawthorne
school
visit
and
then
centennial
as
well
in
the
afternoon,
and
then
our
Fargo
Youth
Initiative
has
their
impact
Fargo
on
Monday,
which
is
the
15th,
and
so
I
will
be
attending
that
all
day
and
helping
them
out
with
that.
We're
really
excited
in
the
and
the
students
are
very
excited
as
well.
Thank
you
thank.
R
R
A
But
one
of
the
sessions
that
I
attended
today
was
I
just
kind
of
a
proud
moment.
I
guess
I
would
say
for
Fargo
public
schools,
because
Fargo
South,
LL
teacher
and
you
know
former
Teacher
of
the
Year
Lea
gel
key
along
with
a
couple
of
her
classmates,
gave
a
presentation,
I've
titled,
using
stories
to
create
empathy
in
the
workplace
and
the
classroom.
And
then
a
couple
of
her
students
read
stories
that
have
been
published
in
in
the
books.
A
That
many
of
us
are
familiar
with
in
terms
of
refugee
stories,
and
then
they
also
helped
to
facilitate
the
meeting.
So
a
variety
of
skills,
and
just
like
the
young
reader
that
was
here
this
evening,
they
just
read
so
well
just
and
the
stories
that
they
share
are
so
moving,
but
very,
very
proud
of
of
miss
Joel
key
and
the
work
that
she
continues
to
do
in
the
schools
learned.
A
Also,
some
ideas
of
that
I
will
I
was
mentioning
to
rupak
that
all
I'll
share
regarding
professional
development
and
culture
in
the
workplace,
so
I'm
just
going
to
pass
that
information
on
to
you
rupak
following
that
session
and
and
that's
for
you
to
take
and
use
and
implement
or
not
or
but
discuss,
as
as
you
would
like
to
again.
The
National
School
Boards
Association
conference,
wonderful
seminars
and
sessions
and
we'll
we'll
see
the
reviews
and
the
information
that
we
all
turn
in.
A
But
I
tried
to
I
focused
some
of
my
time
on
board
work
and
governance.
Work,
so
I'll
be
bringing
some
of
that
information
back
and
one
of
the
last
sessions
that
I
attended
was
regarding
Native
American
education,
and
that
might
be
the
the
top
one.
In
terms
of
the
information
that
I'm
bringing
back
and
hoping
to
share
with
the
district
and
addition
to
attending
negotiations
and
planning,
as
as
an
observer
just
to
learn
about,
what's
going
on
on
those
committees,
I
think
that
rounds
up
my
report,
so
David
I.
X
Also
attended
the
National
Convention
and
want
to
reiterate
that,
yes,
that
is
like
Brian
said
it's
an
excellent
convention.
I've
been
to
a
lot
of
too
many
conventions
in
my
day
and
and
the
opportunities
there
to
get
that
national
lens.
The
national
perspective
what's
happening
in
other
districts
across
the
country,
I
think
is
really
important.
X
It's
an
opportunity
to
see
that
some
of
the
challenges
we
face,
we're
not
facing
alone
that
across
the
country,
people
are
wondering
how
do
we
help
our
students
succeed,
especially
with
the
social
and
emotional
challenges
we're
seeing
in
early
elementary,
but
it's
also
a
chance
to
get
some
validation
that
we're
doing
a
lot
of
good
things
right
here.
A
lot
of
the
sessions
that
I
went
to
ended
up,
taking
a
lot
of
notes.
That
said,
okay,
good
we're
doing
we're
doing
that.
We're
doing
that,
and
not
that
we're
perfect.
X
But
it's
also
good
to
see
those
kind
of
things
as
well
and
so
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
seeing
the
the
feedback
and
the
results
from
everyone
else
that
attended
there.
It's
a
huge
conference,
I
think
out
of
the
eight
sessions
that
I
was
in
only
one
of
them
another
one
of
our
board.
Members
was
in
and
so
again
just
I
really
value
this
opportunity
for
the
development
as
a
board
member.
So
thank
you.
I
guess
other
things
that
I've
done
in
the
last
couple
weeks,
we've
had
a
negotiation
committee
meeting
back
on
the
fifth.
X
At
that
meeting,
we
penciled
in
meeting
again
on
Monday
April
15th
should
be
necessary
following
some
discussions
tonight.
We
penciled
that
in
at
7:30
in
the
morning
so
and
that
early
and
on
that
day,
because
we
will
be
meeting
with
the
Association
on
Monday
that
afternoon,
April
15th
at
4:30
right
here
and
I'm,
very
much
looking
forward
to
as
David
said.
Hopefully,
the
blizzard
does
not
stop
me
visiting
Horace
Mann
Roosevelt
as
a
liaison
on
Thursday.
Thank
you
thank.
H
I
gotta
check
the
weather
forecast.
Apparently,
okay,
March
27th
I
attended
a
CD
PTA
meeting
a
little
bit
more
about
the
consolidation
with
City
PTAs
to
the
state
level,
I
communicated
with
the
communications
committee
they're,
going
to
start
to
work
on
some
communication
pieces
with
PTAs
PTSA
S&P
TOS,
but
that
said
that
City
PTA
is
still
planning
on
doing
the
spring
luncheon,
not
only
on
May
15th
but
going
forward.
So
that's
not
that's
not
the
final
luncheon.
So
just
a
little
bit
of
heads
up
there.
H
So
that
was
a
nice
conference
and
that
was
for
everybody
to
attend
and
then
I've
been,
as
you
guys
know,
very
busy
legislatively
you
saw
some
things
about
the
gun
bills
going
through
and
the
resurgence
of
some
of
this
legislation
I
will
share
that
this
is.
This
is
the
time
where
it
gets
really
really
quite
the
wild
ride
and
when
I
was
asked
by
many
people,
are
you
gonna
go
testify
on
these
gun
bills?
H
I
said
I
don't
have
time
because
I
don't
know
when
it
when
it's
going
to
be,
and
it
might
be
two
hours
from
now.
So
that's
how
quickly
some
of
these
things
move,
and
so
that's
why
it's
so
important
that
you
need
to
be
available
to
answer
texts
and
emails
and
then
turn
around
communications
within
within
with
within
less
than
an
hour.
I
did
send
something
out
yesterday,
as
you
well
all
know,
we
didn't
feel
like
we
had
the
time
to
send
it
to
you
and
then
send
it
to
your
local
legislators.
H
So
I
hope
you
don't
mind.
I
skipped
that
step
I
did
that
well,
did
that
partially
because
of
for
expediency,
but
also
respect
for
your
for
your
time.
So
this
is
this
is
when
it
gets
busy.
So
forgive
me
if
I,
if
I
forget
some
communications,
the
big
bill
that
will
be
watching
here
going
in
the
end
of
the
session
is
Senate
bill.
22
65,
and
that
is
the
big
funding
bill.
Other
bills
will
be
rolled
into
that,
but
we'll
be
watching
that
closely.
H
It's
a
little
bit
over
my
head
with
all
of
the
different
calculations,
and
so
jackie
also
needs
to
be
really
available
and
text
and
email,
that's
so,
but
this
is
where
it
gets
complicated.
But
this
is
this:
is
the
big
funding
bill
that
that
we
need
to
keep
an
eye
on
so
a
lot
of
legislators
think
they're
gonna
get
done
by
April
20th
and
that's
that's
that's
less
than
two
weeks
away.
So
a
lot
needs
to
happen
between
now
and
then
and
very
few
things
are
scheduled
in
committees
and
on
the
website.
H
So
we're
counting
on
our
NDS
be
a
lobbyist.
Stick
to
keep
us
informed
of
all
of
this,
so
she's
doing
an
outstanding
job.
Do
we
have
any
questions
on
any
of
the
any
legislation
out
there
today
you
can
watch
a
lot
of
podcasts
that
I
was
on
today
and
there
was
a
forum
article
as
well,
but
I
think
I
accurately
reflected
the
board
philosophies
and
beliefs
on
those.
So
if
I
didn't
please
let
me
know.
A
And
I
think
it's
fine
if,
if
individual
board
members
with
our
legislative,
liaisons,
Robin,
I
I,
know
you
and
I
talked
about
this
a
little
bit.
I
I
appreciate
that
just
taking
the
initiative
to
send
out
that
email
to
all
legislators,
if
it's
necessary,
you
just
have
to
use
your
best
judgment
on.
You
know
your
judgment
on
that,
but,
as
we
see,
maybe
some
of
that
continuing
to
happen,
there's
nothing
wrong
with
us.
Continuing
to
you
know,
keep
that
relationship
going
with
your
own
liaison.
A
AB
H
H
We
wouldn't
have
the
wherewithal
to
say
people
can't
bring
guns
on
on
school
property
during
our
time,
therefore,
after-school
fyc
or
Boys
and
Girls
Club,
so
our
insurance
carrier
said
they
would
drop
us
if
some
of
these
bills
went
through.
So
this
is
much
more
complicated
than
wanting
bill
guns
in
schools.
There
are
so
many
nuances
and
the
Devils
in
the
details-
I
don't
have
the
specifics,
but
I
can
certainly
ask
Alexis
for
those,
but
I
I
would
I
would
venture
to
guess
that
my
that
number
might
be
difficult
to
to
determine.
H
But
what
needs
to
be
said
is
it's
not
the
school
districts
insurance
that
goes
up?
The
people
that
pay
the
school
districts
bills
are
taxpayers.
So
we
can't
forget
that
in
this
whole
conversation
and
I
think
a
lot
of
the
listeners
today
on
those
radio
shows
I
need
I
said
that
very
clearly
and
I
hope.
They
understand
that
now
Jim
has
a
better
more
of
a
background
in
insurance.
Maybe
you
could
speak
to
that.
I.
B
Have
no
clue
how
much
will
go
up,
they
would
first
have
to
actually
try
to
determine
what
are
the
increased
risks.
This
brings
not
even
sure
there's
an
actuary.
That's
gonna
feel
really
confident
in
that.
So,
if
you
don't
have
good
claim
data
to
base
a
raid
on,
he
tend
to
err
on
the
side
of
a
higher
rate
to
cover
yourself.
Until
you
see
the
claims
and
Ender,
if
is
actually
a
self-funded
insurance
pool,
and,
of
course
what
their
concern
is,
is
there's
