- We will now proceed to public comments
- Thank you to all who signed up and acknowledged the guidelines to speak to the board tonight
- Just to note that personal matters by name are not allowed as a reminder
- Mrs. Butcher will ring the bell once to signal you have 30 seconds remaining for your comment and
- five
- Bells to signal your time has concluded. We'll start with Ellen
- Sorry, so I was too short. Hello. My name is Ellen 3 8 1 9 South Claybridge Drive
- That's all good. I
- Have been a teacher for six years one year in MCC SC five years in another school district this
- year
- I am a coach. I am outside the school district
- We are having a problem in many schools, but specifically in Monroe County schools with moving
- teachers around
- I know that we have issues with
- Staffing where they're going to be having to shift one school to the other split between schools
- But a big problem is stability
- Again, it's seen in more than just MCC SC when I came to MCS
- MCC SC I was able to brag to my former
- Co-workers man. They really seem to care about the students
- They really seem student centric everything that we talked about with best practice
- Monroe County is actually doing rather than just saying I'd like to be proud and keep saying that
- When you have a class of
- Children a homeroom class of children they are going to rally around their teacher either in a
- positive way or a negative way as
- Someone who took over her first classroom from a teacher who was politely asked to leave
- Rebuilding that rapport partway through the school year is
- Devastatingly hard sometimes does not work
- I've watched classes go through three four teachers in a year and you cannot get that
- trust that level of engagement back as
- I stand up here. There are there are classrooms
- Where teachers are still moving in March of 2025?
- next
- Two weeks from now we begin. I learn these students not only have to
- Readjust to a new teacher with new items new rules new rapport
- But also we'll have to sit through a grueling standardized test that is
- Not made at their level and that's a whole other public comment as we know
- This is their school year that has now gone through at least X amount of teachers
- They are looking for their safe person and their safe person keeps being moved
- Hopefully, they will find that in an extracurricular
- I've seen it happen through basketball through girls on the run
- By the way trend is April 26 for our 5k
- But many of those students are going to slip through the cracks
- It's common knowledge in our profession that a bad teaching experience a bad year can affect
- student learning up to three years forward
- This is not the MCC SC that I'm hoping for we are past spring break these kids should expect
- Stability some fun field day things an end-of-year party, and I just hope that MCC SC
- Understands. Thank you. Thank you miss. Hello
- We now have Megan Nolan
- Hi, my name is Megan Nolan. I live at 4386 North Old State Road 37, and I'm a parent and community
- member
- My comments tonight are intended to be constructive not critical. Thank you MCC SC school board
- members
- I spent a lot of time over the last two weeks reviewing all of the published information about the
- two-year strategy to achieve balance
- I read all of the published documentations on MCC SC website and watched the linked videos. I
- Followed every link to supporting documentation provided
- After reviewing everything it does feel as if the information provided started with the hypothesis
- that
- MCC SC has too many teachers for the current student enrollment
- That may be true
- However the documentation
- was
- Bound to support that hypothesis in other words the hypothesis drove the data
- I have so many questions about the data provided
- and
- Even more about the data not provided
- But because of time constraints, I'll keep to two quick observations
- The first is an observation on the current and historic number of administrative staff
- While it's true. There has been a seven point six percent decrease in student enrollment
- Since the 2017-18 school year and a two percent increase in the number of teachers
- There was also a whopping 20 percent increase in the number of administrators in the district
- during the same time period
- The second observation is that twice in the online documentation
- for the two-year
- plan
- Two times it links out to a website called the 74
- As validation to the claim that there's too many teachers it was 74 was supposed to back up that
- claim
- Campbell Brown the co-found
- Campbell Brown is the co-founder and board member of the 74 also sits on the pro student
- Choice American Federation for children the 74 is a pro voucher website
- I'm not sure why a public school district would use it to validate any position
- I don't have enough time to outline all the questions that I would encourage this board to ask
- Related to the data provided and not provided in the documentation included in the two-year
- strategy to achieve balance
- But I would be happy to discuss those
- questions in more detail at another time finding balance should include looking at all groups of
- employees not only teachers and
- Reducing direct service providers last
- Thank you very much
- We would like to thank everyone for their comments tonight and we will now move to our consent

- Thank you so very much
- Tonight we are having our seventh presentation on our
- 2021-2025 strategic plan and this is seven of eight and so tonight's
- focus is on professional learning and the work that's been happening in that area in support of our
- Administrators as well as all of our educators and support staff. So I'd like to ask miss Harmon to
- present that information
- Thank you, I'm excited to be able to present to you on professional learning as
- You can remember our professional learning goal
- Is that we will empower staff and school board through relevant learning experiences uniting
- stakeholders around the MCC SC vision and shared work
- We have two outcomes related to this goal cultivate professional learning and secure structures for
- relevant meaningful professional development
- In reviewing that just to provide a little context. This is similar that we've seen in previous
- presentations
- We define professional learning results and excellent outcomes for all students when staff and
- school boards are continuously immersed in professional learning cycles
- They have rigorous content
- Transformational processes collaborative inquiry and the structures necessary to provide
- Meaningful professional learning. So as we look at our professional learning throughout the year,
- this is what we're aiming for
- We wanted to highlight
- Two of our big professional learning days one is our November 5th when all staff are able to get
- together
- And we're very proud of the fact that we basically run kind of a mini conference
- With the many of our sessions being provided in-house by our own teachers and administrators
- So this year we really focused on supporting professional learning teams through
- professional learning related to what it means to offer a guaranteed viable curriculum have high
- level strategies to deliver that curriculum and
- to learn from each other as colleagues and so
- We included a quote as we always like to do from our principal who and I will read it here
- I've always felt our district PD day is a wonderful opportunity for staff to showcase their skill
- sets while allowing others to build their own
- I love that teachers and staff alike are able to choose options that best meet their desired area
- for growth
- And I always enjoy learning from local experts within MCC SC
- So we focused again that day on curriculum looking providing time for
- Grade level and school level content teams to get together
- So across the district all third grade teachers all fourth grade teachers all English teachers
- They had a time to work together and think about what does that look like across our district in
- every one of our buildings?
- And think about what that guaranteed viable curriculum so matter what school you go to third grade
- looks like this or English looks like this
- And then talked a lot about what are those high level and data driven strategies to deliver that
- and how do we offer?
- Enrichment for our teachers to think about their practice
- Increase ultimately increase student learning which is our main goal always
- In thinking about we always gather feedback on from our participants
- And you can see we asked them about was the content valuable did it allow for in-depth discussion?
- was the format provided appropriate and
- In all of those categories over 90% of our certified staff found the professional learning event
- effective and content discussion and format
- I won't read all these quotes, but we provided a couple little quotes from that feedback as well
- Just highlighting that our teachers
- and participants enjoyed that day and really
- Emphasize their appreciation for having time to meet across the district with people who teach like
- classes
- In them there was also an opportunity we had two different keynote presenters all of our elementary
- focused professionals had language and learning comprehension and
- Then all of our high school had a session or our secondary
- Sorry had a session around leading through an equity lens sessions were engaging impactful and
- contain meaningful content
- That's what they were asked here. And again, we have them agreeing or strongly agreeing in all of
- those categories
- They spoke highly of both of those keynotes events as them being meaningful
- To what they're and relevance what they're currently teaching
- In the afternoon was the time where our teachers and staff can basically they submit their ideas
- for
- Related to teaching and learning expectations. They offer a session
- They say here's what I can offer my colleagues around instructional design and delivery what I
- could offer around adopted curriculum classroom environment
- database decision-making and feedback technology collective teacher efficacy and
- Then their colleagues can sign up for these
- And so that's just a highlight. These are examples of things that were offered in those areas
- So for instance, there was instruction on accelerating learning for students with accessible and
- high quality instruction
- There was sessions on you fly, which is a reading
- Going beyond the basic basics to learn supplemental resources. There was prioritizing wellness for
- school leaders
- There was a session called working smarter not harder
- So also exploring career pathways and how we use the Indiana career explorer for students to have
- experiences that let them think about their college and career goals and how they might meet those
- and
- How we might build even stronger professional communities throughout the school year
- We had 90 breakout sessions in those sessions 45 sessions had a rating of 4.5 or higher and 83 had
- a rating of
- 4.0 or higher and the max was 5 so really well
- Ranked from colleagues. They really enjoy that time to learn from each other
- Throughout the year here these are just going to pop up these are the kinds of professional
- learning we've offered throughout the year in
- Many of these might sound familiar to you because in other presentations that we've made along
- these priorities
- We've talked about our professional learning around restorative practices around PBIS
- Around our instructional practices inventory these connect to what we do around school safety what
- we do around instruction and high-level
- academics for all students
- So we have all of those things there and
- With those in mind these topic areas were actively advancing and supporting every goal in our
- strategic plan
- May 6th is coming up. It's another day for professional learning
- It's for our middle and our high school students our elementary
- staff
- Do the professional learning time in the fall related to connecting with families and
- Conferences so this day is just for middle and high school certified staff and the day is breaking
- broken into three parts
- We have corporation level learning. These are things that are across the district. As you know, we've
- adopted a new math curriculum
- So we're leveraging that time for training. We have our teacher evaluation system and
- work again on college and career and thinking about how we're making sure we have information and
- Experiences for all students and thinking about what are their post-secondary plans?
- We also have time dedicated to building level learning where the principals are
- working with a curriculum office to develop a plan to work on their school improvement plan and
- have a school specific focus area based on what the needs of that particular school are and
- their professional staff coming together and
- Then we also provide time for develop departmental level PLC work where they can look closely at
- analyzing student data
- Refining instructional practices and just having that time together to collaborate
- Ultimately one of our kind of as we look towards our next steps for professional learning and MCCSE
- We have a plan to have a comprehensive professional learning plan right now. We're
- Just finished up research and needs assessment. We're identifying goal setting and prioritization
- and
- Then we'll that we talked about the importance of having systems and structures for professional
- learning
- so we'll develop that strategic design and planning and coming this fall we'll implement our
- comprehensive professional learning plan that
- we continue to tweak as we evaluate and have continuous improvement and
- That's that's it. Our next topic will be staff diversity on diversity goal. Number one any comments
- or questions
- I can answer for you
- Thank you so much, yeah, thank you so much miss Harmon
- And I this is I guess this is a comment but just thank you so much for the continued work that you
- all put into
- developing this
- This time for teachers. I know that and I've said this before
- Many times in the past. I think teachers and their skills have not been leveraged as professionals
- in their in their field
- and so I'm so glad to see the ways in which we continue to
- To let teachers take a front seat in teaching others
- In their buildings and across the district. So I love that. I really appreciate it
- And so thank you very much for that
- We will now receive this month's legislative update from board member Peroni
- Thank you
- All right, so this is the report for week number 11. We are slowly seeing light at the end of the
- tunnel
- of the legislative session
- I'm pleased to provide the monthly legislative update to you
- So we're all aware of significant bills that will impact K through 12 public education policy
- government governance and funding
- What happens at the Statehouse directly impacts our school districts schools and educational
- opportunities for our students the top three things
- that ISBA
- recommends we know about the Statehouse right now our HB
- 1001 which was heard by the school funding subcommittee last week
- The ISBA is advocating for a 2.5 increase in tuition support for each year of the biennium
- in addition increases for summer school English language learner and
- Secured school safety grants are being requested by ISBA
- second is
- SB 146 which is about increases to teacher compensation and there are two specific
- Provisions being discussed and supported by the legislator
- The first is to increase starting teacher salaries from 40k to 45k beginning July 1st
- of this year
- MCCSE starting teacher salary is already above that amount and began at over 57k
- The second provision is for corporations to provide 20 days of paid parental leave
- ISBA is supportive of both provisions but have requested that the legislator recognize that in
- order for this to happen
- Additional financial resources will be needed to achieve their teacher compensation goals in
- addition excuse me an additional provision is to allow school corporations to increase
- allowable amounts spent for teacher compensation from 62% to 65% of
- its state tuition support and
- Finally number three is HB
- 1681 which proposes to limit referenda and local public questions only to general elections in
- a given year
- ISBA has requested that this provision be amended to reinstate primary elections as an option
- There's also SB 287 which is about establishing
- partisan school board elections. This is currently on
- the schedule
- Hopefully third times the charm on Thursday. It was supposed to be heard yesterday and today and it's
- been passed off
- So if you are calling your legislators keep doing it because it seems to be working
- Which is why I'm guessing it's getting pushed off
- On our and finally if you want to know about any of these things if you go to our website
- Under the board of school trustees tab
- There's a link to our area legislators in these monthly updates to access the automated list of
- bills
- ISBA is tracking visit the ISBA website under the legislative services tab
- Thank you
- Concludes my
- report
- Thank You board member prani for your update. We really appreciate that
- And now I'll just ask in general if the board has any comments or reports that you'd like to share
- I'll just as a follow-up to Ashley's report. I'll just put in a plug for the Indiana coalition for
- public education or ICP
- they've been doing a lot of advocacy for public education during this legislative session and so if
- that's something that people are interested in I
- Reached out to them to find out what we could do if there was anything that I personally could do
- more and they said
- the best thing to do is to follow ICP and
- And they give regular updates on how to to advocate for public education
- Thank you so much for that remember kubernetes or vice president kubernetes
- That no any other comments from the board about anything in general

- There are a few openings left for this event and those interested in scheduling an appointment
- Should go do so by visiting the website at mccsc.edu/superintendents
- That concludes my report
- Thank you. Dr. Winston for all of that rich information. There was a lot crammed into like such a
- concise update there
- I also do want to just extend my gratitude to Brandon. I'm sure for his time on the board
- You know when we start to list districts in the way that dr
- Winston just did it feels a little Hunger Games ish like I'm from district two, you know
- And and actually sometimes it feels like that when you're serving on this board. However, I will
- say that the work is quite meaningful
- And we have a really great group of individuals here who would
- Love to sort of begin working with someone who has you know, new perspectives new thoughts and
- ideas to bring to the table
- So if you're out there and you are thinking about applying
- I hope that you'll take that seriously and find that on our website into Brandon if you're
- listening listening
- We certainly will miss you in that spot, but we hope you we wish you the very best in whatever you
- do next
- Yeah, I'll just add my thank you to phantom Brandon hopefully at least here's
- Before I before I joined the board. He was someone that I really looked up to and admired
- he's one of the most principled people that I've ever met and
- And he'll be missed
- All right, if there's nothing else the next regularly scheduled board meeting will be held on
- Tuesday April 22nd
- 2025 and with that we are adjourned
