IX. Planning and Personnel
A. Declaration of Emergency for Math Teachers (Action Item)
Chairman Jenkins invited Heath Jackson, Executive Director of Planning and Personnel to present to the Board. Mr.
Jackson asked the Board to approve a declaration of emergency concerning Math teachers. He stated that recruiting
certified Math teachers has become increasingly challenging in recent years. The district has been helping individuals from
other professions become certified to teach in Idaho. The proposal is to allow a specific employee, who has been
professionally involved in the classroom, to receive a one-year provisional certificate as a math teacher upon completing
their bachelor's degree this year. This emergency provision is distinct from the typical five-year alternate authorization. The
district aims to provide a positive experience for this individual, leveraging their existing classroom experience and
relationships with students. While this specific case is in mind, the district is also interviewing other certified candidates for
additional math positions. The emergency declaration enables the district to potentially fill crucial teaching positions within
the upcoming school year if necessary. Chairman Jenkins asked if the Board had any questions. Hearing none, he asked
for a motion.
Motion: Richard Hess moved to declare an emergency for math teaching positions due to a lack of certificated applicants
with secondary math endorsements. Randy Smith seconded. Motion carried.
B. Employee AW2023 (Action Item)
This was discussed in Executive Session. Mr. Jackson asked the Board to approve lifting suspension for Employee
AW2023.
Motion: Randy Smith moved to lift suspension for Employee AW2023. Carissa Coats seconded. Motion carried.
C. Bonneville Online Elementary Principal (Action Item)
Mr. Jackson continued with presenting his information on a recommendation of the new Bonneville Online Elementary
Principal. He explained that Dr. Kennedy has received a job offer for career advancement, and the board is releasing
him from his contract. This has led to an opening at Bonneville Online Elementary. Candidates within the school who
were eligible expressed interest, and a survey was conducted among current employees. Interviews were held with
two certified candidates, resulting in a recommendation for Natalie Burr to become a part-time principal and part-time
teacher at the school. Natalie has substantial experience at the elementary school, having also worked at Bonneville
High School and Rimrock School. She is well-versed in the unique nature of Bonneville Online Elementary, and its
support structure. Her qualifications and understanding of the school's processes make her the recommended
candidate, though the timing of the position will be reevaluated later. Natalie, a longtime resident of Idaho Falls and a
small business owner along with her veterinarian husband, expressed excitement about the leadership opportunity.
The board had no immediate questions, expressing anticipation for her service. Natalie Burr introduced herself as a
resident of Idaho Falls for 17 years and a small business owner with her husband. She expressed a strong connection
to the community and mentioned that her children have attended the local school district. She's enthusiastic about
taking on a leadership role for the upcoming school year. Her husband is a veterinarian at Ammon Veterinary
Hospital. The board didn't have any questions for her, and she didn't have any questions for them. The board thanked
her and expressed anticipation for her service.
Motion: Carissa Coats moved to approve Natalie Burr as the new part time Bonneville Online Elementary/Teacher.
Richard Hess seconded. Motion carried.
D. Dektronics Live Video Display with Installation - Real Property Waiver (Action Item)
The ongoing project at Hillcrest High School involves the construction of a stadium. Teton Toyota has sponsored and
financed a scoreboard for the stadium. The purpose of this meeting is to seek permission to install the sponsored
scoreboard on the school's property. The necessary funds have already been provided, and the scoreboard's
6
placement and installation are the remaining tasks. Chairman Jenkins asked if there were any questions. Hearing
none, he asked for a motion.
Motion: Randy Smith moved to approve the lease agreement to install a video board on the property of Hillcrest High
School. Carissa Coats seconded. Motion carried.
E. Standard Form of Agreement between NBW Architects and Bonneville Joint School District 93 for the proposed
elementary school (Action Item)
Chairman Jenkins asked John Pymm, Director of Maintenance and Facilities to present to the Board. Mr. Pymm
started by stating that he was asked earlier to set up the preliminary stages for the proposed elementary school, sort
of a temporary arrangement. The architectural contract is now ready for review. The standard rate for the contract is
4%. Once the board approves and signs it, we can proceed with preparations for the school. Just to clarify, the
architecture rate for Black Canyon was 6.5%, and the Bond would cover up to $300,000 of the contract. Even if the
Bond doesn't pass, any design work completed could still be useful and potentially repurposed for future projects
while keeping costs in check. Chairman Jenkins asked for any questions. Hearing none, he asked for a motion.
Motion: Randy Smith move to approve the agreement between NBW Architects and Bonneville Joint School District
93 for the proposed elementary school. Richard Hess seconded. Motion carried.
X. Finance and Operations Reports and Recommendations
A. Partnership Proposal between Hillcrest High School and Mountain View Hospital/Intermountain Health Field
(Action Item)
Chairman Jenkins invited Guy Wangsgard, Executive Director of Finance and Operations to present to the Board. Mr.
Wangsgard started by stating that the contract concerns a new development in the Hillcrest Stadium project. Hillcrest
High School and Mountain View Hospital Intermountain Healthcare have entered into an agreement for naming rights
to the field on Sunnyside Road. The field will be called Mountain View Health Field at Westmark Stadium. Around a
year and a half ago, the board approved an agreement with Westmark for the stadium name. The hospital has
contributed $405,744 to support training and other stipulations. It is recommended that the board approves this
partnership with Mountain View Intermountain Healthcare. Chairman Jenkins asked if any Board members had any
questions. Hearing none, he asked for a motion.
Motion: Carissa Coats moved to approve the contract agreement between Hillcrest High School and Mountain View /
Intermountain Health for the naming rights of the Field at Westmark Stadium. Richard Hess seconded. Motion carried.
B. Local Property Tax Levy Overview
Chairman Jenkins invited Mr. Wangsgard to continue by presenting his information on local property tax levy
overview. Mr. Wangsgard started by clarifying the difference between bonds and levies, emphasizing that bonds are
like mortgage payments for specific projects while levies cover operational expenses. Supplemental levies are
discussed next, authorized for one or two years; voters approved a $5.5 million levy for fiscal years 2024 and 2025.
The election had a 23% turnout, resulting in 8,500 yes votes and 6,200 no votes. Changes in law now require detailed
fund allocation disclosure with accountability to taxpayers. The Facility Levy is explained, allowing up to 10-year
extensions. The current $2.8 million annual levy for fiscal years 2022 to 2031 was approved by voters, with a 23%
turnout. Approval tiers depend on hypothetical rates from bond and proposed levies. Mr. Wangsgard then reviewed
the bond aspect by detailing the remaining amounts for Summit Hills Elementary, Black Canyon Middle School, and
Thunder Ridge High School bonds. Structured payment plans, such as Black Canyon's four years of interest-only
payments, aim for consistent collections. The Emergency Levy is available if the district qualifies. The district has not
asked for an emergency levy in the last four year, even though they qualified. Decisions will be made in the August 30
meeting, followed by discussions with County Commissioners for approved Levy amounts. Financial insights are
provided, including figures for the supplemental and plant facilities levies. For instance, the Emergency Levy
translates to $250 for a $400,000 home. State programs like Bond Levy Equalization and House Bill 292 have
impacted rates, with a potential $53 per $100,000. Property tax implications are explained, considering a market value
increase to $7 billion and individual assessed values. Finally, Mr. Wangsgard focused on bond payments and when
they will be paid off. A chart illustrates payment breakdowns, with shaded areas indicating callable bond periods. This
background prepares for the August presentation, where certified amounts will be discussed based on more precise
data and factors. The discussion around the homeowner's exemption change remains uncertain, potentially finalized
by early November for tax calculations. Chairman Jenkins thanked Mr. Wangsgard for his report.

XI. Superintendent Reports and Recommendations
A. Continuous Improvement Plan Report and Recommendations
Chairman Jenkins asked Superintendent Woolstenhulme to present to the Board. Superintendent Woolstenhulme
started by stating that the Continuous Improvement Plan is required by state regulations. He then explained that he
focused on two key changes. The Pyramid of Student Success remains central, but the emphasis has shifted towards
improving student literacy and learning based on discussions with District Leadership Team, the Board, and
principals. Three primary areas of concentration are highlighted:
1. enhancing reading and writing abilities
2. fostering student confidence and responsibility, and
3. boosting teacher efficacy and effectiveness.
The interconnectivity of these aspects is discussed, with an emphasis on addressing all three for optimal outcomes.
The significance of teacher turnover is also underlined, particularly in relation to maintaining strong math instruction.
The discussion then delves into different types of assessment interpretations—norm-referenced and criterion-
referenced—and their importance in accurate evaluation. Superintendent Woolstenhulme explained that the focus
shifts to the Idaho Reading Indicator (IRI), he explains the assessment, and its use of scale scores and percentile
ranks. The transition from using percentiles to employing Lexile scores for assessment is explained, and the impact of
assessment re-norming on student performance tiers is outlined. The advantages of Lexile scores are underscored,
with a reference to Georgia's successful adoption of this approach. Historical data over five years is presented,
illustrating the shift in student performance measurement due to Lexile scores. The overall message highlights the
importance of accurate assessment for effective educational planning and student success.
1. Continuous Improvement Plan (Action Item)
After the discussion on the Continuous Improvement Plan, it was decided to send a survey to parents for
feedback. No action took place.
2. Student Confidence and Responsibility Competencies (Action Item)
Superintendent Woolstenhulme continued with Student Confidence and Responsibility. The focus of the
Continuous Improvement Plan is on improving student literacy and learning, with a shift in emphasis towards
building student confidence and responsibility. These competencies are based on the Social and Emotional
Learning (SEL) framework. The plan also addresses social issues contributing to at-risk situations, often
identified through teacher observations and behavior challenges in the classroom. To assess the right-hand side
of the Pyramid of Student Success, a program is being piloted to measure and enhance SEL skills. The plan
also introduces a set of core competencies, including self-awareness, self-management, social awareness,
relationship skills, and responsible decision-making, which the Board is asked to approve as official learning
outcomes for students. These competencies align with a national SEL Consortium's standards, though they can
be adapted to the local context if needed. The Board is also presented with options to approve the plan either
now or after seeking parent feedback, which will be collected through surveys. Lastly, the discussion touches on
the need for alignment between these competencies and curricular resources, as well as the consideration of
parental rights and superintendent approval for non-curricular surveys related to social and emotional aspects.
The proposed plan is fashioned after the feedback that the district received from an earlier survey sent to
parents. Chairman Jenkins asked the Board what they would prefer to do. Chairman Jenkins asked for a motion.
Motion: Randy Smith moved to approve the Student Confidence and Responsibility Competencies as
presented. Richard Hess seconded. Motion carried.
3. Mastery-Based Learning Resolution (Action Item)
Superintendent Woolstenhulme continued by presenting the Mastery-Based Learning Resolution concerning the
implementation of a mastery-based learning approach. This approach had been previously approved by the
Board two years ago, aligned with state laws advocating for a transition from seat-based education to mastery-
based learning. The speaker emphasizes the importance of prioritizing students' comprehension of essential
concepts over traditional seat-time requirements. Superintendent Woolstenhulme elaborated on how the
conventional education model focused on seat-time and credits, whereas mastery-based learning aims to
ensure students genuinely grasp subjects before progressing. State laws endorse mastery-based learning and
allow students to challenge courses by demonstrating competence, irrespective of time spent in class and a
8
personalized learning approach is emphasized. Superintendent explained that a statute is in place that permits
students to engage in Extended Learning on Mondays if they've already achieved mastery. This arrangement
acknowledges diverse learning paces among students. He then discussed the challenges of the Monday
schedule which include maintaining consistency across schools and striking a balance between accountability
and student autonomy. Contradictory laws concerning student involvement during Extended Learning are
highlighted. Superintendent Woolstenhulme explained that the resolution establishes expectations for
collaborative efforts among teachers, encompassing the identification of core outcomes, development of
assessments, and utilization of Monday time for additional assistance. Extended Learning initiatives cater to
both students requiring support and those aiming to deepen their understanding. The Board members provide
feedback on aspects such as uniformity, student engagement, and accountability. While agreeing to endorse the
resolution, they express interest in exploring improved methods to gauge accountability more effectively. The
board ultimately approves the resolution, with an eye toward future improvements for measuring accountability
within this innovative learning framework. Chairman Jenkins asked for a motion.
Motion: Richard Hess moved to approve the Mastery-based Learning Resolution as presented. Carissa Coats
seconded. Motion carried.
B. Proposed Policy L2140 Student and Family Privacy Rights for 30-Day Review (Action Item)
Motion: Carissa Coats moved to approve proposed Policy L2140 Student and Family Privacy Rights for 30-day

Motion: Carissa Coats moved to approve proposed Policy 1100 Membership for 30-day review. Randy Smith
seconded. Motion carried.
G. ISBA Resolutions
1. Bond Communication Disclosure Language (Action Item)
Superintendent Woolstenhulme started by explaining that the deadline to submit resolutions to the ISBA (Idaho
School Boards Association) has passed. However, he had a conversation with Quinn Perry, an employee of the
School Boards Association, who suggested an alternative approach. It was proposed to collaborate with a
member of the ISBA's executive board to bring forward a resolution on their behalf. The origin of this resolution
is linked to a new state law that came into effect on July 1st, which imposes limitations on the district's ability to
communicate with parents and the community about school elections, bond elections, or levy elections. This law
necessitates the inclusion of ballot disclosure language in all communications. Dr. Woolstenhulme mentioned
ongoing discussions with the district's attorney to clarify whether this would prevent them from sending
reminders on Election Day. Additionally, the district might be prohibited from displaying a bond election message
on the school marquee for an upcoming election on August 29th. Given these constraints, Superintendent
Woolstenhulme suggested that it would be beneficial to work on amending this law during the legislative
session, especially since their district is among the first to experience its effects. Nick Miller, the District’s bond
attorney, provided suggestions on how to proceed, and the proposed ISBA resolution aims to address this issue.
Chairman Jenkins asked for a motion.
