AGENDA REVIEW Mrs. Whitney stated there were no changes to the agenda and that there would be an executive session according to RCW 42.30.110 (1)(b) Land Purchases. The meeting should require approximately 30 minutes. AUDIENCE COMMENTS Mr. Lehrman explained that questions and comments are welcome after each report pertaining to the topic covered at that time. He then opened the floor for comments on any other topics. There were no audience comments at this time. Ms. Deidre Holmberg, Principal, Franklin STEM Elementary gave Mrs. Whitney a huge thank you for her rapid response during a staff member’s healthcare crisis this past week. Within 10 hours and one phone call to Mrs. Whitney regarding the situation, she had cleared her schedule and teams were put in place to move forward at Stevens Middle School. She thanked Mrs. Whitney for her caring and consistent responses. Mr. Lehrman thanked all those involved in helping out in this situation. COMMUNICATIONS Dr. Richardson visited Markham and Angelou elementary schools. He wanted to see “Ten Ways to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse” but was away at a workshop, and also missed the Community Forum. He was pleased with what he gained from the workshop however. Mrs. Phillips attended the community forum, and while there were very few in attendance it was still great to interact with those who were there. She expressed her gratitude for the tour of Curie STEM Elementary and hopes that the lack of attendance was an indicator that things are going well. She also attended the Pasco vs. Chiawana football game and was impressed with the players and the sportsmanship displayed and commented on what a phenomenal job the PHS Dance Team did. Ms. Lancon thanked everyone for their efforts in putting together the community forum and tour at Curie, which enabled board members to see where bond dollars could be spent in expanding Curie to make it more effective. She expressed her disappointment at the low turnout but appreciated the opportunity. Mr. Naef attended the CHS Open House, October 17th, where lots colleges came and clubs displayed the activities they represent. He was impressed by the number of clubs he was not aware of. He complimented PHS on the great play they put on and the cross country participants for their dedication. Mr. Mendoza reported this week was Fair Week at New Horizons High School, and although they do not have a dance, they had great fun. He also expressed his pride in NHHS and the great things that are happening now and in their future. They are working hard and looking forward to a Christmas dance and other student activities. Ms. Lace also attended the tour at Curie and reported that it was a great opportunity to visit with teachers and visit a variety of classrooms. She is very impressed with the Bulldog spirit and how supportive community and staff are of students. She also went to see the PHS play, participated in haunted hallway and dressed up for the occasion. She attended an ASB meeting today where they discussed the budget and the best ways to spend the money. She reported that Spirit Week and Homecoming are this week and that the homecoming parade will be Friday night. “Go Pasco.”
Board Meeting Minutes October 25, 2016 3
Mr. Christensen attended the WSSDA Regional meeting where he heard reports on what is happening around the state and briefed the board on highlights. He also attended the Community Forum and thanked Valerie Aragon and her staff for hosting. After the forum Valerie Aragon showed board members where the new classrooms would be and some of the other classrooms. He noted that even though this is a brand new building, they have had to convert staff space into small classrooms and other modifications have been made to adapt to the needs of students which is common throughout our district due to overcrowding. Unfortunately, we do not have extra space, but this tour gave us a new appreciation for the space issues we are facing as a district and the critical nature of this upcoming bond. We need to do what we can to be successful. He also reported that as one of the WSSDA director area 11 legislative committee representatives he attended a meeting last Saturday in Olympia with other representatives from around the state where they talked about ways to improve WSSDA's involvement in the legislative process. He also announced that in November we will get a chance to elect a new director area 11 representative. Mr. Lehrman attended the CHS vs Richland game where he found a great atmosphere. It was a little wet, which caused a few ball control issues. He also thanked the Curie staff for hosting and setting up the community forum. He reported that the board continues to talk to principals and will continue holding forums to hear what the public has to say. He stated that over the past year and half the board has been redefining our Governance model using – Good Governance is a choice. We have identified our “owners” as the community at large, from young parents new to public schools, to our valued senior citizens who are our connection to Pasco’s proud history of quality education for all children. Every voice in our community is important. As your elected Board of Directors we are in service to you. It is our job to listen to all members of the community. This belief has led us to schedule and hold quarterly community forums in addition to our regularly scheduled board meetings and study sessions. We are listening to you, and we are implementing ideas from the community. We filter the information we receive to set goals and direction for the district that best communicate the shared beliefs, values, and expectations of our community. The education experts leading our district implement the expectations and direction set by the board, which will lead to improved outcomes for student achievement, customer service, and operational efficiency. The board has identified PSD students and their families are our customers, and we are focused on providing excellent service to these customers. The work being done to define clear roles, responsibilities, expectations and goals will allow us all to work together towards improved student achievement, and will ensure that there is greater consistency and equity across our schools. As a board we expect the district to be a learning organization that seeks continuous improvement. The definition of a learning organization is one that facilitates the learning of its members and continuously transforms itself. As a board, we support and empower employees to be innovative and proactive when solving problems, without fear of failure.
Board Meeting Minutes October 25, 2016 4
At our forum last week, we discussed that when a child moves to a new school it should be a seamless transition. We also talked about what steps the district has taken to ease transitions of a new school year, and what can we do better in the future.

Galen Emanuel will be here on November 2 to talk with classified staff on the “Yes and…” strategies. She will be participating in mock interviews at PHS and reminded those in attendance that the cross country is scheduled for November 5 at Sun Willows Golf Course. Mrs. Whitney also attended Zombie Apocalypse and the Gravel Pit football game a couple of weeks ago. It was a great time to visit with community members at a shared event. She reported that CHS and PHS came together and knelt in unity stating that they came together t as rivals but left as one because We Are Pasco. She found the experience very moving and an example of why she loves what she does. REPORTS/DISCUSSION Curriculum Implementation and Review Update – Mrs. Hall provided an overview of the curriculum adoptions underway and an update on the common standards based unit development for K-12 English Language Arts and mathematics. Eight content-area committees have been formed and have begun the review process as outlined by board policy and the Pasco Association of Educator’s contract.

X REPORT
1ST READING DISCUSSION 2ND READING ACTION REQUIRED
OBJECTIVE: Provide a brief overview of the district’s 2016-19 Technology Plan; including, the process used to develop the plan, the format of the plan, and some initiatives within the plan. The full Technology Plan can be viewed on the Information Systems webpage below. http://www.psd1.org/cms/lib4/WA01001055/Centricity/Domain/1015/2016-19%20Pasco%20Technology%20Roadmap%20062716.pdf
BACKGROUND: (Pertinent past action/events)
The district’s Technology Plan expired at the end of last year. Requirements of the federal E-Rate program used to drive the format and content of school district technology plans; so historically, the district’s technology plan has been primarily infrastructure focused. The E-Rate requirements around technology plans no longer exist, which created an opportunity to take a new approach to the technology planning process. Instructional and Operational staff worked last year to create a collaborative plan that will guide their work for the next three years.

REPORT
1ST READING DISCUSSION 2ND READING ACTION REQUIRED
OBJECTIVE:
Review and approve Pasco School District Board of Directors 2017 legislative priorities as discussed with Marie Sullivan, Legislative Advocate.
BACKGROUND: (Pertinent past action/events)
On November 24, 2015, Mr. Christensen presented Pasco School District Board of Directors’ 2015 Legislative Priorities. After discussion it was determined that funding for a Pre-K Facility legislative priority would be put forward at that time and the others would be discussed at a later date.

SUGGESTED MOTION:
I move to approve the 2017 legislative positions as presented.
NEXT STEPS:
DRAFT Guiding Positions for 2017 Legislative Sessioni (new or substantively changed positions at 10/25/16 study session in italics)
The Pasco School Board of Directors supports legislation that:
1. Reduces reliance on using local levies to pay the cost of salaries and benefits for K‐12 school employees engaged in Basic Education activities. The Board also:
Supports a compensation system that includes a state‐funded regional pay factor; and
Supports an education system that attracts and retains quality teachers, and removes obstacles to teacher certification and specialty endorsements.
2. Creates transparency in bargaining and increases public access to public employee labor
negotiations.
3. Updates school construction assistance programs, including: Fully funding the cost of construction for new classrooms and schools to meet
statutorily required class size reduction targets Funding the actual costs of constructing schools for projects matched by the
School Construction Assistance Program; Increasing the per student space allocation to support 21st century student
learning needs.
4. Decreases the bond approval percentage from 60 percent to simple majority for bond measures offered at the November general election.
5. Holds school districts harmless and provides sufficient funding to school districts when the Legislature changes the levy base, levy lid, local effort assistance, and use of local levies.
6. Fully funds time and training costs for up to 80 hours of annual state or district‐
directed/approved professional development, and classroom preparation time for each state‐funded certificated classroom teacher and classified instructional staff.
7. Allows siting of schools outside Urban Growth Area boundaries under specific conditions
negotiated with the city and county in which the district is located.
8. Encourages state standards and guidelines for processing public records requests, including methods to collect for the actual cost of responding to public records requests electronically.
9. Streamlines the state assessment system and removes state‐mandated tests as a graduation requirement.
10. Increases access to early learning, including: Authorizing a new grant program for the construction of early learning facilities;
Increasing the number of ECEAP slots, with students who will be attending high‐poverty schools prioritized to receive the new slots;
Creating an option of funding summer ECEAP to take advantage of existing school facilities; and
Preserving flexibility in ECEAP funds to meet the needs of students and families in each district, including allowing half‐day ECEAP and the option of attending class up to five days a week.
11. Provides broad‐based support and partnership opportunities for evidence‐based “Birth
to 9” initiatives, including extended school learning opportunities for high‐poverty children.
12. Considers revenue options to fund basic education, and makes changes to education
requirements that reduce state and local costs associated with requirements that don’t improve student achievement. For example, eliminating state‐required assessments as a graduation requirement.
13. Funds or removes unfunded state initiatives, such as recently enacted student attendance and discipline requirements, and allows more district flexibility and choice to use evidence‐based practices such as PBIS or interventions in lieu of suspensions and expulsions.
The Board retains its opposition to legislation that imposes new requirements on the district without also providing adequate funding and staff to meet the new requirement.
i Based on Pasco Board of Directors input at October 25, 2016 study session.
Approved August 9, 2016 by the Pasco School District Board of Directors
Pasco School Board of Directors, 2017 Legislative Priorities: 1. Request $1 million from the 2017‐19 biennial capital budget to complete construction of
the senior center property as an early learning center. Up to 75% of the new classrooms will be dedicated to increasing capacity for smaller
K‐3 size in existing elementary schools. A minimum of 25% of the new classrooms will be dedicated to increasing new ECEAP
capacity. 2. Request a second round of K‐3 grant funding in the 2017‐19 biennial capital budget to
support school district class size reduction needs and amend current K‐3 grant program to provide for more equitable distribution of funds.
