MOTION: Wendy Horman made the motion to delete the policies presented. Kip Nelson seconded. The vote was 3 in favor with 0 opposed and 0 abstentions. Motion passed. VII. New Business 1. Trip Requests Hillcrest High School Debate Team Ms. Thacker asked the Board to approve the request minus the Carroll College trip. Mrs. Winchester stated that the Board would not provide funding for the trips but that there are forms that need to filled out for each trip and the Debate team could request funds through the administrative staff. She stated that the protocol is that the Board approves the trips not the funding. MOTION: Kip Nelson made the motion to approve the Hillcrest Debate Team Trip Request with the deletion of the Carroll College trip and subject to administrative financial approval. The vote was 3 in favor with 0 opposed and 0 abstentions. Motion passed. 2. Levy Rate Certification – April Burton Mrs. Burton stated that the District was able to maintain the levy rate of.005448 that we have had for last 5 years. She asked that the Board approve the levy rate certification to the county. MOTION: Wendy Horman made the motion to approve the levy rate certification as presented. Kip Nelson seconded. The vote was 3 in favor with 0 opposed and 0 abstentions. Motion passed. 3. Renaissance Assessment Proposal – Scott Woolstenhulme via Go to Meeting Technology set up the computer and screen so Mr. Woolstenhulme could present from Louisiana where he is attending a conference. He stated that we need reliable assessments to find out what students have leaned. There is a gap between the high stakes state and national assessments and the assessments we currently have available in the District. We don’t have a good way to help teachers know where their students are in relation to performance on these standardized tests. We have used Plato in secondary schools but it is time intensive. Mr. Woolstenhulme proposed that the District provide computerized benchmark assessments district-wide with universal screeners throughout the year. He and a committee looked at different vendors. It was decided that Star Assessments offer individual screening and progress monitoring. These are computerized tests that take about 15 minutes. The testing will predict ISAT proficiency. These tests are aligned to common core. This is the best way to efficiently progress monitor students who are struggling. The program generates a longitudinal picture of student progress. Many of the teachers in the District already have some experience with these programs. By purchasing Renaissance Enterprise we will extend accelerated math and reader licenses. Mr. Woolstenhulme proposed that the Board use money from the last bond to pay for the program for the next 5 years. The net cost is approximately $73,000/year and $365,000/5years. Money out of the bond it is a capital expenditure that will use about half of remaining bond monies for technology. Home connect will allow parents to see data and scores at home. The company policy requires that the programs be used in District with a teacher in the classroom. Mr. Woolstenhulme is inclined to follow company policies. Schools who allow access at home are in violation of company policy. Susan Searle stated that the RTI process requires progress monitoring. The SLD requirements include benchmarking and progress monitoring. We tried to use AIMSweb but it was too time consuming. We will still use AIMSweb for IRI because the state requires it. The STAR program will allow easier access for teachers and students. It will cover K-12 for accelerated math. Accelerated Reader will cover K-6 and possibly 7-12 for remediation. MOTION: Wendy Horman made the motion to approve the staff recommendation to use bond money to make the capitol purchase of Renaissance Enterprise for five years. Kip Nelson seconded. The vote was 3 in favor with 0 opposed and 0 abstentions. Motion passed. VIII. Committee, Curriculum and Administrative Reports 1. Report on Facilities Planning Committee Meetings – Annette Winchester Mrs. Winchester asked Roger Hill to speak to the survey and information from the committee meeting. Mr. Hill stated that the group held a public meeting to poll the citizens and patrons regarding what type of high school we should build. The recommendation was a regular traditional high school. The committee recommended that we should put together a survey. The administration needs the whole committee to complete the survey. They will meet and finalize the survey. There is also subcommittee that will visit Syracuse and Park City in Utah next Friday the 23rd. They will probably visit Madison and Twin Falls as well. It was stated that the best planned high school was Wood River and it was suggested that the committee visit it as well. IX. Call for Agenda Items for Upcoming Meetings 1.
