Board Retreat
July 29, 2016
8:45 AM
Stockman's Restaurant
Continental Breakfast served at Stockman's Restaurant,1175 Pier View Dr., 8:45 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.
The meeting was called to order at 8:56 am. Deputy Superintendent Marjean McConnell welcomed everyone to
the Retreat. She introduced Doug R, Nelson from Nelson Hall Perry Tucker, PLLC and reviewed the agenda for
the day. Chairman Brian McBride asked Amy Landers to offer an opening prayer. Guy Wangsgard introduced
himself as the newest member of the District Administration. Those in attendance were Board Members Brian
McBride, Paul Jenkins, Amy Landers, Jeff Bird, Greg Calder; Superintendent Charles Shackett, Deputy
Superintendent Marjean McConnell, Assistant Superintendent Scott Woolstenhulme, Chief Financial Officer Guy
Wangsgard, Attorney Doug Nelson, and Board Clerk Mary Hansen.
II. Current School Issues & Best Practices -Doug Nelson, 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.
A. U.S. Department of Education Gender Guidance
1. Federal Government -
Attorney Doug Nelson explained that the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Civil Rights and U.S.
Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division have determined that the directive from the Federal
government is a significant guidance and is to inform educators about the transgender issue and does
not have any actual force of law; however, funding can be withheld from the Federal government if school
districts are not compliant to Title IX requirements. Examples of Policies and Emerging Practices for
Supporting Transgender Students htti)://www2.ed.ciov/abouUoffices/list/oese/oslis/emerciinooractices.l)df
document list examples of policies adopted around the country to help ensure that transgender students
enjoy a safe and supportive school environment.
2. State of Idaho
Current Idaho law does not require the adoption of the U.S. Department of Education proposed
transgender policy. Model policies written by Idaho School Board Association (ISBA) #3280 Equal
Education, Nondiscrimination, and Sex Equity and #3281 Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation are to
direct and guide the Idaho school districts in writing their own policy congruent to the Federal guidance
and in compliance to Title IX requirements. Definitions of gender identity, sex assigned at birth,
transgender, and sexual orientation should be defined in the policies. The sex that a child identifies with
would need to be changed on the student's record and does not require any court order.
Parents/guardians of elementary students can determine the sex of their child; however, middle school
and high school students' gender identity is not required to be discussed by the school with the
parent/guardian of the student. Any name changes on the student's records would require an official
legal order. True transgender students want to stay under the wire and their parents are more
cooperative in solutions.
3. Bonneville Joint School District 93
The interpretation of federal law is currently being disputed in several jurisdictions and the District intends
to monitor the progress of those legal developments. Bonneville Joint School District 93 will continue its
longstanding efforts to provide a safe and welcoming environment for all students and their families.
Protective rights of privacy, private facilities, housing and overnight accommodations, bathrooms, athletic
locker rooms, and disciple must be consistent with their gender identity even of their education records or
identification documents indicate a different sex (Title IX). There should be evidence of transition, i.e.,
withdrawal from social interactions, cross-dressing, depression and emotional anxiety or destress, poor
Board of Trustees Brian McBride Paul Jenkins '- Amy Landers Jeff Bird Greg Calder
self-concept, suicide tendencies, etc. Athletic practices would fall under the Idaho High School Athletic
Association (IHSAA) policy guidelines. Policy should include a description of a safe and welcoming
environment for all students and staff.
B. Charter School Petitions
Idaho Statute — I.C. 33-5205
After a new public charter school petition is acknowledged by the School Board (authorizing entity) at a
regular meeting, the board has three choices: 1) consider and approve the charter; 2) consider and deny
the charter; or 3) refer the petition to the public charter school commission, A public hearing will be held
by the authorizing entity within 75 days of receipt of the petition and after due diligence and good faith
review by the board and district administration.
District Policy
Writing and revision of policy should follow Idaho Code; it should be specific to ensure compliance to the
state code and flexible enough to allow for change. The sponsoring district is accountable to the state for
the outcome of the charter; it is important to maintain effective communication and have resolution
policies in place between the two entities. Disputes between the sponsoring district and the charter can
affect the accreditation of the charter. The accountability of the School Board is to measure the education
provided by the charter; if the charter does not meet the required educational standards, the School
Board cannot renew the charter. Sponsoring district or authorizing entity cannot change the governance
of the charter; however, the charter can amend its petition accordingly. Currently, the rubric used for the
review of the charter is provided by the public school commission.
III. Break- 10:00 a.m. to 10:15 a.m.

VI. District Plans -1:30 p.m. to 2:45 p.m.
A. 15 Year Long -Term Planning — John Pymm
Chairman McBride invited John Pymm to present 15 year Plan. All projections are based on a 4% growth
rate; projections include creating 750 student elementary schools by building additional classrooms; building
a bus garage, a middle school, replace Ammon elementary school and converting the current building into
office space, and new elementary schools, etc. Mr. Pymm stated it would be wise to hire a CMGC for
upcoming building and addition planning. All new schools would require boundary changes. Due to the 4%
Market Value Growth rate, all additional building should not increase the tax levy rate.
2016-2017 Strategic Plan — District Administration
Chairman McBride invited the District Administration to present the Strategic Plan for 2015-2020. The District
leadership team reflected on what the district does right and what improvements are needed. Dr. Charles
Shackett reviewed the District's mission statement (Student success by design); vision statement ("Develop
confident learners who think critically, read thoughtfully, write effectively, solve complex problems accurately,
and share talents fearlessly." TRWSS — The Right Way to Student Success is by developing confident
learners who Think, Read, Write, Solve, and Share); core values (Worth of every individual, High
expectations, Quality educators, Emotional and physical safety, Dignity and respect, Parent partnerships,
Community involvement, Student success); and auidina principles (Focus on Students, Culture of
Collaboration, Focus on Learning, Focus on Results) with the Board. Having highly effective PLC
collaboration is important to the success of our students. Ms. Marjean McConnell stated that the District's
strategic planning spreads goals out for a five year period. By the year 2020, the goal is to see an increase
in reading proficiency for all grades, improving our literacy program for all grades, demonstrating proficiency
in math by using formative assessments, using instructional specialists to provide embedded professional
strategies, and preparing students for college or career readiness. Fifty-five percent of the kindergarten
students are ready when school starts. Third grade is the marker for reading success for the students' future
education aspirations. Other strategies could include yearly reports to parents on student reading levels and
how to engage the parent in their student's reading success. Understanding that math tests are not just
asking for the answer to the problem, but to explain how the problem was solved and what methods were
used.
VII. Break - 2:45 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

The Child Nutrition mission statement is "Growing Together, Creating Quality Meals". We firmly believe that as we
work together to provide nutritious meals for growing children that we also have an opportunity to develop our per-
sonal skills and talents. We are committed to creating meals that are student preferred, safe and affordable.
We are "Leaders of Child Nutrition committed to providing
tools for growth and learning." Our vision is to never be satis-
fied with status quo. We constantly want to be finding ways -'
to reach more children. Children that are properly nourished,
perform better in school, sports and all aspects of their lives.

Anthony Newman, a former football player for the NFL, ex -9
plained how he was so nervous for his first game that he did-
n't dare eat too much and only had an orange juice. He was -
very sick and his trainer pulled him from the game because he
didn't fuel his body for the game.
In his presentation, at the Fuel Up to Play 60 Program Advisor Summit in Portland, Oregon (Sponsored by the Oregon
and Idaho Dairy Council's) this summer, he shared his message for students. He said it is important to fuel their bod-
ies to be able to make it to their 6:h and 7u' period of the day. They can't run out of fuel mid -way through the
"game" (day).
We provided FREE breakfast and lunch at 4 elementary schools dur-
ing the June summer school program.
NEW! This year we partnered with Ammon City and were able to
offer FREE summer lunches at McCowin Park. We held a ribbon
cutting and kick off on June 10. Denise Hope worked on this event
and invited agencies who provide services to families in our area.
Our district administrators, City of Ammon Mayor, Summer Food
Coordinator from the Idaho State Department of CNP attended.
Our summer review from the state department went very well and we were commended for "operating a well-run
Summer Food Service Program".
The Right at School participants at Hillview were able to walk to the lunch program each day. Meals were offered for
the whole summer. At this time, the meal service is still going on and they are averaging approx. 225-275 lunches per
day.
New Professional Standards for Child Nutrition employees went in to effect on July 12015. These new rules mandate
that each employee receives specific hours of training annually, based on their job description. We met the training
standard with the exception of one employee this year.

At the beginning of the school year last year we were struggling with open positions that we could not fill. At our na-
tional conference we learned about the idea of hiring a training manager, from the director of west Ada School Dis-
trict. In October, we hired Janice Watson as our new training manager. She built a new training program for all of our
new employees.
We chose to include new employees, current part time staff and a manager in each rotation. Each new employee
spent 14 hours in class and 10.5 hours at the Sandcreek training kitchen getting hands on experience. We saw a tre-
mendous drop in the turnover rate in our kitchens.
