Mr. Antyr noted that he did present it as a five year project to the Education Fund Board and told them we would be coming back for the funding for the next four years. Mr. Fulton asked for clarification on the funding. Mr. Antyr explained that the project total comes to approximately $302,000 over five year period. He said we currently have $110,000 for the project from the EFB and E-rate monies for this year leaving us with a balance of approximately $190,000.

Mrs. Nereson asked if these items were included in the budget. Mrs. Linsacum replied that they weren’t and these would all come out of the Capital Projects Fund. Mr. Hoza commented that there is a specific amount that we need to spend out of the Capital Projects Fund. Mr. Wilkie said it was usually around $30,000 to $40,000. Mr. Wilkie recommended that the board walk around the district to prioritize the needs of the district. Discussion ensued. Mr. Hoza asked if the windows had all been replaced at the elementary. Mr. Wilkie said they had. Mr. Hoza asked for details on the condition of the windows at the secondary school. Mr. Wilkie said they are just old and worn out; however they are still secure.

Discussion ensued. DISCUSSION Concurrent Enrollment ~ Julie Hoff with Colorado Northwestern Community College shared some background information regarding her credentials. She also shared a Concurrent Enrollment handout with the board. She stated that with concurrent enrollment high school students can take college courses while in high school. Ms. Hoff further explained how the results of the ACT Test as well as the Accuplacer Test are used to see what kind of classes a student may be ready for. She stated that the reason for entry requirements is that they don’t want to put a student in a course that they may not succeed in. Information on the billing process of the courses was also shared. Ms. Hoff stated that student’s get the college credit at no cost to them unless they get below a C and then they have to pay for the course. She also explained that teachers of the college courses are required to have a master’s degree in the subject area or a masters with 18 years of experience in that subject area. Further explanations were given on the courses as well as the teachers of those courses. Mr. Hoza asked if there is someone in the community that has the credentials would they be eligible to teach. Ms. Hoff replied that they would be eligible and CNCC would pay the teacher to come to the high school to teach the course. Further information was shared. Ms. Rau, high school counselor, commented that we had concurrent classes for a while and then went to the Advanced Placement classes. However, she noted that the AP scores were under what was needed for college credit. She said that she is hoping Hayden School District Board of Education Minutes May 13, 2015 3 that with concurrent enrollment it would keep the rigor of the class high as well as give them college credit for the course. Discussion ensued. District Health Advisory Committee ~ Rhonda Sweetser informed the board that she would be presenting for Kristi Brown since she was unable to attend. Mrs. Sweetser shared information regarding the proposed District Health Advisory Committee. She explained that it would be in collaboration with the community for health and wellness purposes. She noted that one of the major perks of the committee is that it would allow us to apply for health and wellness grants. Ms. Vader shared an example of one of the grants the District Health Advisory Committee was able to obtain in Cripple Creek. She said they had a health care clinic on the campus which also included counseling services. Ms. Vader said the services at the clinic were available to students as well as their families. She noted the clinic was phenomenal and the district didn’t spend a dime to build it. She said it’s a matter of thinking big and the power of this committee. Mr. Hoza asked if school nurses could be on the committee. Mrs. Sweetser said they could. Change in High School Graduation Credit Requirements ~ Mrs. Zabel shared information on the proposed change in graduation requirements. She explained that currently students are required to have 25 credits to graduate. They currently have to have three math credits but colleges are requiring four and only two science credits; however, colleges are requiring three. Mrs. Zabel said they would like to make the changes effective for current freshman. Ms. Rau said they will counsel each student on the changes to the Articulation Schedule. Further discussion was held. Mr. Hoza asked how the change might affect our vocational students. Ms. Rau said that with having eight periods a day has also opened up the opportunity to take more electives. 2015-2016 Academic Calendar ~ Ms. Vader shared two calendar proposals with the board. She explained that one is the current calendar schedule and the other is the proposed calendar schedule from the elementary. Mr. Hoza commented that it’s a matter of staying with the same calendar or having different schedules within one calendar. He stated that they also need to decide if the district should stay with the same calendar for a certain period of time. Mr. Hoza asked if any of the board members have received any feedback from staff or community. Mr. Frentress said he has received some feedback and has talked to some of the teachers regarding the changes. He asked if the elementary students would still be in school on the additional five PLC days. Mrs. Sweetser said they would not and shared information on her discussions with Carolyn Gregory of Totally Kids, Steve Carlson the food service director and Tammie Mader regarding transportation and they were all on board with the change. Mr. Hoza said he has heard concerns regarding the additional cost. Ms. Vader commented that the proposed change wasn’t unanimous among the elementary staff. Mrs. Sweetser shared information on how her staff meetings are held. She explained that they have conversations regarding the issue, get a consensus and move forward. Discussion ensued. Mrs. Bush asked if the teacher hours would be equitable between the two schools. Mrs. Sweetser replied that they would be because the elementary teachers would be increasing each school day by 15 minutes. She also noted that they have increased the student’s day by several minutes. Mr. Frentress stated that through conversations with community members it seems they want to keep the calendar the way it is and not add any PLC days. He said that it doesn’t seem that the community supports a split calendar. However, he said that he understands that the teachers at the elementary find the extra days quite valuable. Mr. Frentress asked if it would be possible to keep our current calendar but add some enrichment days for the students like they used to. He said they could possibly use substitute teachers and paraeducators for a half a day so the teachers could use a half a day to do PLC’s to add the extra time back in. Mr. Frentress commented that it could be a way to work around the issue using some enrichment days. He shared a few dates that may work for possible enrichment days. Mrs. Sweetser said it’s a good idea, but she only has two paraprofessionals at the elementary. Mrs. Hornstein said that the biggest problem she could see with the idea was the organizing and the planning of the enrichment days. She noted that those types of days and activities require a lot of planning and preparing to come together. Mrs. Mortenson stated that she is one of the para’s at the elementary school and we ask a lot of our para’s for a minimal amount of compensation. She said she puts her heart and soul into her job, but they can only do so much. Ms. Vader said that one of the concerns that she has heard is the Hayden School District Board of Education Minutes May 13, 2015 4 additional expense for childcare. Mr. Hoza said that Mr. Frentress’ ideas are good, but he didn’t feel it was the board’s job to plan those activities. He also commented that is presses the point for him that one of the challenges of the district is to try to become more united. He elaborated by stating that we already have a couple of different areas that were doing some different things, such as the elementary being on trimesters and the secondary on a quarter system. Mr. Hoza said that he felt like with the change of leadership and perspectives for next year we’re creating a very confusing format for our community and our parents. He said he’s struggling with the calendar shift happening now. Mrs. Sweetser said that we’ve only heard from a few parents and that she would hope that the parents would be supportive of the additional childcare expenses for the education of their children. She said that she felt that there are a lot of districts that have schools that are on trimesters and quarters. Mrs. Sweetser commented that they are two different entities and have agreed to do what’s best for their buildings. Mr. Hoza said the agreement seems to agree to be different. He asked how much are we looking at the whole child; kindergarten through 12th grade through the processes. Mrs. Mortenson said it seems like we’re trying to embrace the fact that each of the buildings have different needs even though we’re one district. She said all of the ‘needs’ can’t fit into one box and we need best manage the needs as best as we can and still be one. Mr. Hoza said he has also heard concerns regarding the longer school day for the elementary students again. Mrs. Fralick said that when a decision was made last year regarding the calendar the board decided we weren’t going to change it again for a least a couple of years. She said she doesn’t feel like we’ve given the calendar enough time. Discussion ensued. Mr. Hoza said that there are other ways to fix the issues, for example next year we’re not starting school until September 8th; he said he felt it was a perfect opportunity to start a week early and get people used to the change and incorporate some teaching before Labor Day. Mrs. Bush asked who is involved in proposing the different calendar options and when those discussions are held. Mr. Hoza explained that we used to have a calendar committee; however when the committee came with recommendations they were totally shut down so nobody wants to step up anymore to help determine the calendar schedules. He also commented that he feels like this is just another Band-Aid for another year. Further discussion was held on the PLC times. Mr. Wilkie said that heating and cooling can be an issue if we lengthen the calendar as well as limited time for the custodians to do their summer cleanings. Mrs. Bush said that she feels like we need to look at possibly having a calendar committee again and have them start looking at calendar recommendations earlier in the year. Mrs. Deepe shared her perspective on the calendar and the PLC time. She said she likes the longer PLC time since she has to meet with students from two different grade levels, but also loves the extra planning time on Fridays. She said that if we do go back to the enrichment days we may have to actually hire someone to organize those days. Mr. Aiden Morrison stated that he’s torn between the two proposals because next year they are going to have students in both schools. He said he appreciates the fact that the elementary comprised on the calendar last year and respects the fact that they’re trying to do what’s best for them and their students. Mr. Morrison commented that he’s tired of seeing the calendar change all of the time. Mrs. Nereson asked if we started school four days before Labor Day could those days be used for the extra PLC days. Mrs. Linsacum said that teachers probably wouldn’t want to work for free and that on an average of $250.00 a day per teacher that could get pretty pricey. However, the idea is something to consider for future discussions. Mr. Fulton commented that he’s been on the board for six years and has been hearing every year that the state is going to start mandating longer school years for students, which is also something we need to keep in mind. Discussion ensued. 2015-2016 Fiscal Year Budget ~ Mrs. Linsacum shared a worksheet with the changes that have already been discussed with the increases and decreases. She explained that the district didn’t get the one time or the rural monies that were being proposed at the legislative level. She also noted that the ending fund balance should be up slightly from what was originally projected. Ms. Vader said she was very disappointed that the additional funding from the state didn’t come through. Clarifications were made on the dean of students salary as well as the new superintendent’s salary.

He reiterated that the feedback he received was against split schedules. Mr. Hoza stated that it’s up to the administrators to manage the time within the calendar.
