Student Council ~ Millie Delaney, student council president, informed the board that student council is working

gag prizes for the top categories. She also informed the board that they are gearing up for elections. They will have
the elections for student council officers at the end of this month and will have the elections for class representatives
in the beginning of May. Mrs. Nereson asked for details regarding prom. Ms. Delaney said prom will be held on
April 24th at the Haven and After-Prom would be held at the exhibit building. The board thanked Ms. Delaney for
coming.
Teacher Input ~ Susan Koehler, secondary art teacher, shared information on the upcoming Routt County Art Show
to be held in Steamboat. She explained that there would be items on display from the elementary as well as the
secondary school. Mrs. Koehler also shared a poster advertising the show with two of our 9th graders art work
chosen for the poster. Additional information regarding the show was shared.
Public Input ~ Laura Corriveau informed the board that she was speaking as a parent and asked the board to
consider all of the information when making decisions on PLC days and staffing. Ms. Corriveau shared information
she obtained from CDE regarding student to teacher ratio throughout the district. She noted that the elementary has
the highest ratio of students to staff. She asked the board to consider the needs of both schools when considering the
PLC days. Ms. Corriveau commented that she is not crazy about the block schedule at the high school. She stated
that her son never brings homework home because he said they get it done in class. She also commented that we
have had teachers teach both music and gym at the elementary school; however, they burn out quickly.
Liz Meissner, elementary p.e. teacher, stated that she was in support of the comments made by Ms. Corriveau.
Lori Hornstein, elementary teacher, shared a letter written by a parent that was unable to attend the meeting tonight.
Mrs. Hornstein stated that if the board was looking at cutting staff members, they need to look at what impacts
students the least. She noted that taking away music and p.e. at the elementary will affect all elementary students.
Corinne Sommerfeld, elementary music teacher, asked the board to consider the quality of the teaching that the
students are receiving. She said we currently have highly qualified teachers teaching and it’s a disservice to the
students if we don’t.
Tracy Munden shared a letter with the board regarding the possibility of changing the calendar to have different
schedules for the elementary and the secondary school. Some of the points included in Mrs. Munden’s letter were
the following:
1. Didn’t think changing the calendar was going to be a discussion again this year.
2. When school is in session, students need to be in school.
3. The elementary and the secondary school need to comprise with the calendar.
4. Daycare issues and complications with separate calendar schedules.
Chris Guire informed the board that she was speaking as a community member and a parent with kids in all three
schools and the logistics of the split calendar just aren’t feasible. She also commented that it’s been her experience
that the calendar discussion is an annual event; however, she feels like there are a lot of other major things that exist
and need to be addressed. Mrs. Guire noted that in her travels of following her children she has found that many
districts out do us with their facilities. She said she is concerned about that and wanted to know if there is a plan in
place for capital improvements. Mrs. Guire commented that it seems we’re satisfied just being status quo. Mrs.
Guire shared several other concerns she has as a parent. She said she tries to be supportive of the school and tries to
make the various meetings, but it is very difficult now that she has joined the forty-hour per week work force.
BOARD REQUESTED REPORTS
PRINCIPALS’ REPORTS
Rhonda Sweetser, elementary principal, informed the board that Liz Meissner and Sara Boyle have developed a
Green Team with 4th and 5th grade students. She said the students will meet weekly to help the elementary focus on
ways to become “greener”. Mrs. Sweetser stated that the elementary had a follow-up Mindful Life Training. She
said the training was excellent and they will send two teachers to an ambassador training this summer in Steamboat.
Information was shared on Literacy Night along with the pasta dinner fundraiser. The funds raised will help support
the reading programs at the elementary and the secondary school. Mr. Hoza asked if information regarding the
Literacy Night had been advertised. Mrs. Sweetser stated that a letter had been sent home with students as well as
information posted on our Facebook Page and the district website. Mrs. Fralick asked how the testing was going.
Mrs. Sweetser said it hasn’t been good. She explained that the state’s server was down and they were still having
some glitches today.
Mrs. Zabel, secondary principal, informed the board that the Large Group Festival was held last Wednesday. She
noted that the students had a lot of fun and the band received a “2” rating which is the highest they’ve received since

testing was also shared. The secondary school had an amazing presentation by Kevin Brooks on suicide prevention,
overcoming obstacles, and impaired driving. The presentation was funded through the Behavioral Health Grant.
Mrs. Zabel commented that Mr. Brooks received a standing ovation from the students, as well as students shaking
his hand and thanking him for being there. Mrs. Zabel shared information on our new Behavioral Health Advocate,
Lauren Burns. She explained that Ms. Burns started right after spring break. Ms. Burns will be focusing on
addiction prevention one-on-one with several of our students. She will also provide training to the secondary staff
during PLC time for alcohol and drug use recognition in schools. Additional information was also shared on the
upcoming Literacy Night. Mrs. Zabel informed the board that Prom will be held next weekend. She stated that she
would be administering the alcohol test strips again this year before Prom and also before After-Prom. The district

SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT
Ms. Vader informed the board that the District Unified Improvement Plan has been submitted. She also informed
that board that she would really like to focus on marketing the district. She stated that between now and summer we
need to have a heavy marketing campaign in place. She would like to include staff members, HEA, parents and the
community. Ms. Vader also informed the board that she has been working on the budget and would elaborate on
that during the budget discussion.
DISCUSSION
Early Graduation Request ~ Three students submitted written requests to the board for approval of an early
graduation date. The students were Shaelynn Salazar, Tyra Camilletti and Jewel Vreeman. Each of the girls shared
details of why they would like to graduate early and what their post-graduation plans were. Mr. Hoza said the
process of early graduation is taken very seriously and the school board wants to see them succeed. He said it’s
important to consider all of the requirements and the preparation needed. Mrs. Zabel explained that the girls should
be able to meet all of the credit requirements except for English and they are planning to take English at CNC this
summer. Mr. Frentress encouraged the girls to take as many classes as they could at the junior college. He
commented not only does it help you get into the four year colleges, but it also saves a lot of money. He also spoke
of some of the stages of starting out on your own and the depression that can come with it. Mr. Hoza commented
that you need to be pretty determined and focused to succeed. He said it’s important to lean on the people that can
help with the process and take advantage of the resources available at the school. Mr. Hoza stated that the board
takes this decision seriously and that they really try to make the right decision for the students.
Resolution to Restore the Negative Factor Before Providing TABOR Refunds as a Statewide Priority ~ Mr. Hoza
explained the reasoning behind the resolution. Mr. Fulton commented that he would be in support of the resolution.
He also asked if the board approved a resolution similar to this last year. Mr. Hoza replied that they had.
2015 – 2016 Academic Calendar ~ Mr. Hoza opened the calendar discussion by saying that the calendar schedules
are big as well as an important decision to be made. He said it’s a matter of trying to balance many different needs
and perspectives as well as meeting the needs of staff to educate our children. Ms. Vader explained to the board that
Mrs. Sweetser held a calendar discussion meeting and had three parents show up. Ms. Vader further explained that
due to the lack of attendance at the meeting she sent out 118 emails asking for feedback on the calendar. She said
she got nine replies back. Eight of the replies were not in support of split schedules and only one in support of. Mr.
Hoza asked for details of the comment that was in support of the calendar change. Ms. Vader shared the email with
the board. Mr. Hoza said that at some point they have to call the point and make a decision. Ms. Vader shared
examples of calendars that fall within the same time period with different schedules. Mr. Hoza asked to hear the
Hayden School District
Board of Education Minutes
April 15, 2015
3
comments of those that were not in support of the calendar change. Ms. Vader shared the comments. Cindy Wright
stated that she hates revisiting this issue every year and the one thing that the board needs to keep in mind is that
with the limited responses, it could be that the majority are ok with the changes. Mr. Hoza said we don’t tend to get
the comments until we get to the decision point, which is a real challenge for the board. He said the board needs to
have a recommendation so they can make a decision. Some of the questions and concerns that come with two
calendar schedules are; does it make sense to allow for two different schedules; challenges of parents with students
in the elementary and the secondary school; first year for the secondary to go to a full block schedule and too early
to make an assessment on that yet. Mrs. Corriveau commented that if they decide to keep the block schedule then
they need to have teachers accountable for what they’re teaching and how they use their time. Discussion ensued.
Ms. Vader asked Mrs. Sweetser to reiterate why the elementary would like to change the schedule. Mrs. Sweetser
responded by saying the current schedule is working for the secondary school; however, she said it isn’t enough time
for the elementary teachers to come together and collaborate as well bringing in or having the teachers attend
trainings without bringing in substitute teachers. Mrs. Sweetser said childcare seems to be the biggest concern.
Totally Kids has offered to help out with the daycare on the additional Fridays off for students and will offer
scholarships for those that can’t afford it. Mrs. Sweetser said she has also had conversations with Tammie Mader,
the district transportation coordinator, as well as Steve Carlson, the food service director, and they felt they could
make it work just fine. Mrs. Nereson said she would like to hear more parent feedback before a decision is made.
Ms. Vader said she could kick an email out again and see if we get more input. Mrs. Fralick commented that if we
keep putting it out there it’s almost like we are looking for conflict. Discussion ensued. Mrs. Bush, secondary
science teacher, said that the different calendar schedule for the elementary doesn’t affect the secondary school;
however, she would like to see something put into place and not revisit the calendar issue for three to five years.
Mrs. Bush also stated that last year they did comprise on the calendar with the assistance of HEA. She said it was a
huge discussion among staff and schools. She commented that she feels that as staff and administrators, they need
to stand up and say this is what we need and why as professionals. She went on to say that this precedence could get
some other things put into action, like a longer school year as the secondary has proposed in the past. Mr. Hoza
commented that until the board sees something on paper, it’s hard to visualize. Mr. Frentress said that he has heard
several comments from parents and community members that we need to set a calendar and stick with it for several
years. Mr. Hoza said there have been a lot of solid comments as to why the changes were being made and it has
been evolutionary to get the changes to get to a certain point. He said we are moving more in the direction of what’s
helping staff to improve the environment for them to teach. Ms. Vader clarified that the directive is to come to the
May board meeting with calendar proposals. The board stated that was correct.
2015 – 2016 Budget ~ Mr. Hoza said there has been a lot of feedback about the budget and they had a good work
session to try to digest all of the variables regarding the budget. He said they would like to hear any additional
comments without rehashing the whole budget discussion as well. Ms. Vader stated that we know that we’re down
approximately 20 students from the October count which equals a negative $237,000. The board had indicated that
they would like to see budget reductions of around $140,000. Mrs. Corriveau asked what the dollar amount attached
to each student is. Mrs. Linsacum replied that it’s a little over $9,000. Ms. Vader noted that there haven’t been any
decisions made in the legislation regarding the three school finance proposals. Mrs. Bush asked if the money doesn’t
come from the legislative proposals would we be able to make it up with the reserves. Mrs. Linsacum explained that
the prior year we had a million dollar reserve and last year we budgeted for a $700,000 ending fund balance. She
said that since we dropped from one year to the next we had to justify why we budgeted for that. She further
explained that we can’t continue doing that or the state will send someone in to take care of our finances. Mrs.
Fralick said that it’s our responsibility to be prepared and to be fiscally responsible to educate the students. Mr.
Hoza commented that staffing is an area that can be looked at due to staff changes and can be an opportunity to
make some adjustments. He said they would like information from the administrators with suggestions. Ms. Vader
said that one thing they are looking at is with the transportation contract with Moffat County School District. She
explained that there is potential to have a person here in the district that could do the small maintenance items on the
vehicles and still have Moffat County do the large items. The change could be a savings of about $10,000. Ms.

Vader stated that the nursing contract with the Northwest Visiting Nurses Association was also discussed. She said
if the district was able to hire a nurse rather than contracting those services it could be a potential savings of $5,000
to $10,000. Mrs. Fralick asked for clarification of the transportation contract with Moffat County. Mrs. Tammie
Mader, transportation coordinator, explained that it was change that was made about four years ago to save the
district money. Mrs. Mader said it’s just a possibility that they are looking at this time. She said it still needs to be a
discussion with MOCO as well as our district to make sure it can work. Mr. Frentress asked where we are with bus
replacement. Mrs. Mader shared information on the buses and acknowledged that we will need to replace some of
the buses as well as the gold suburban in the near future. Discussion ensued. Mr. Hoza said there are a lot of
different pieces to the budget and we need to call the question to see what we need to do to make the budget work.
He said we need to approve contracts and need to take into account the staffing structure and make sure there is
coverage that meets all of the basis and needs of the district. Ms. Vader said one of the items discussed with HEA
and at the work session was not to put a freeze on the salary and steps. She said her recommendation is with staff
cuts that don’t impact students. She said a salary freeze is detrimental across the district. She commented that with
staff reductions most people can go on and be quite successful; however, staff reductions are extremely painful. Mr.
Hoza stated that the board is trying to maintain pay structures with the possibility of getting the job done with fewer
people. Mrs. Nereson asked about the attrition that was listed in the packet and will those positions need to be filled.
Mr. Hoza said some of those positions will need to be filled or reassigned. Ms. Vader shared a Full Time Employee
Comparison with districts around the same size as our district. She went over the staff numbers with the board. Mr.
Hoza said it’s not just a matter of staffing structures but teaching structures as well. Ms. Annie Petrieks, elementary
special education teacher, said she wanted to encourage the board to consider the programs at the elementary and
how amazing they are. She asked that the board look at everything possible to keep the programs and the teachers of
those programs. Mrs. Cindy Wright asked if there was a way to combine some of the electives such as art with
some of the other classes. For example, offering a welding or woods class that could also be considered an art class.
Mr. Hoza responded by saying that they are trying to think out of the box and trying to see if some of the roles could
be combined or reassigned in some way. Discussion ensued regarding the roles that are taken care of by some of the
people that are leaving the district. Further details were shared. Mr. Hoza said the board relies on the expertise of the
administrators to take the skill set of the personnel and disperse the duties accordingly. Mrs. Koehler clarified the
fine arts credits for the board. Mrs. Hornstein said that they have teachers at the elementary that teach two grade
levels and they have to teach two different curriculums in one day which is very difficult. Pat Moore, high school
English teacher, commented that marketing plays a huge role in the new students that we’re gaining and encouraged
the board to keep that in mind. He said he has heard nothing but good things from the students we’ve gained. Kelly
McLaughlin, elementary teacher, said that she has experienced the wonderful things that our district is offering and
it has made a huge different in her sons’ lives and education. She said we have a gem right here on Highway 40.
Mrs. Fralick said that we need to get her help in getting the word out on the good things we are doing. Mr. Fulton
said part of the problem with the marketing is that nobody knows how to do it. Mr. Moore said that Mr. Fulton
nailed it on the head; we don’t know how to do it, it’s not our area of expertise. Ms. Vader said that we need to pull
all of the information together in a professional manner and market the district heavily in June through September.
We need staff and parents to give us the positive information to share. Further discussion was held.
