Jessica Flake speaks about her three children who currently attend Sunnyside and how the neighborhood she lives in has been chosen to move with the boundary change. She states she is aware of the overcrowding at Sunnyside and states she is advocating for a solution for the overcrowding to be the least disruptive to her children's education and their social, emotional, and mental health. She states that she believes the worst possible solution would be to move a group of children across town to a new environment for a short period of time and then once a new school is built, move them a second time. She adds lets not forget these children had two years of disruption to their education during Covid. She states this year is her second grader's first year of consistency and has started to show growth and states that we owe our children a normal school experience. She states they do not deserv e to further upheaval in their education. She states another unacceptable solution is leaving the children at Edgemont that is outside their community. Celebrating an Edgemont student for a day in Senate State Affairs by Principal Wade Leavitt. Principal Leavitt introduces Levi Herway to talk about his day in senate. Here’s the story: https://www.idahoednews.org/legislature/statehouse-roundup-3-10-23-a-dinosaur-gets-its-day- in-senate-state-affairs/ Superintendent Shank introduced Margaret Wimborne for the One District One Book writing contest winners. Celebrating One District One Book winners by Margaret Wimborne, Director of Communications and Community Engagement. She invites all the winners up in front of the Board and congratulates them for a job well done. Kindergarten - Raegan Hammerland - Edgemont 1st - Haylee Wilkins - Edgemont 2nd - Hadley Klumker - Fox Hollow 3rd - Annie Fray - Bunker 4th - Maisy Smith - Edgemont 6th - Leah Cardon & Lydia Crofts - Edgemont (2 winners) She speaks to attending the open house and Edgemont seems like a great school with a great community. She thinks her children will thrive more by going to school with children in their community. She speaks about her son who has had to learn how to handle living with anxiety and is now just becoming comfortable with the environment at Sunnyside and growing relationships with his peers. She states as a concerned parent to think about the Sunn yside community as a whole. Grace Oseen agrees with the overcrowding and states she had heard that people do not want to band aid the solution or kick the problem down the road. She states her opinion that the boundary change does that. She speaks about the growth in the Edgemont community and moving would be from one overcrowded school to another, creating another move in a few years. She talks about her daughter starting Kindergarten in the midst of Covid and last year being the first full year of a normal experience and is worried about pulling the kids from their community and peers. She states that she hopes the levy is passed for a new school and has been hoping we could just wait for one more school year so the kids could move to the new school with kids in their community or stay at Sunnyside with others moving to a new school. She also states a concern on making test scores worse by moving kids because of the change again. She states she understands their will be a mo ve, but scenario 1a does not make sense. She ends with stating the kids should not have to worry about anything else except for being just kids. Jordan Oseen states he moved in 1999 from Edgemont to Sunnyside in boundary changes. He states that he has two children that are impacted by the move and he is ok with a move to Edgemont, but he states his frustration lies in the process. He states his neighborhood was left off the committee entirely. He states he is also frustrated because by the point that he was finally looped in and was made aware of potential boundary changes at the open house, his own trustee was not in attendance so he could speak to them. He speaks about the Board not being forward thinking with population shifts and boundary changes, he adds that Sunnyside was the last new school constructed in 1991. He said he thinks the population has moved significantly since then and there has not been another new elementary school. He speaks to Edgemont's growth and it becoming the most overcrowded school in the next couple of years, which would mean that his children will be moved there and then need to be moved again to Sunnyside being displaced three times within a few years. He states he is very involved in his children's education and appreciates everything the Board does, but states his frustration with this situation. Amanda Hobbs states that she is part of the 1b scenario being part of the Dunes/Sandcreek Estates. She states she has a first grader and a kindergartener that will start in 2024. She states her concern is with mo ving her children several times and her thought is with plan 1b it will overcrowd Edgemont as the new developments come in. She adds with a new elementary school their will be a shift in population and another boundary change will need to be made in two or three years, moving our kids again and they are the ones that suffer. She states she hopes that the Board has the children's best interest. She states that she went to the open house at Edgemont, spoke with the principal, and kindergarten teacher and it is wonderful but she does not think that with the growth this is the solution. She talks about how she does not w ant to tell her child he needs to go to a different school. She thinks that 1a is the best solution and hopefully will not crowd Edgemont with a need to mo ve a second time. She adds that elementary is pivotal in her children's lives and asks the Board to consider the long term effects this will have. I. IFEA Report - Julie Nawrocki, President reported.

Final Resolution: Motion Carried Voting Aye: Elizabeth Cogliati, Hillary Radcliffe, Larry Wilson, Paul Haacke, Jeremy Westwood B. Boundary Changes Trustee Wilson asks effected Principals with boundary changes to report. Principal Dixon speaks about keeping in mind the students and if a new school is built will boundary changes need to be made again in a few y ears. She states that it is their hope that there would only need to be a singular move for their students, due to the changes being hard on the students. Principal Leavitt speaks about enrollment change over the course of the last 5 years, however understands the growth at Sunnyside and Edgemont is very welcoming and supportive with any boundary changes. Principal Hogancamp speaks about enrollment going down the past 3 years and explains that Bush Elementary does have the capacity to have three teachers per grade but currently only has one grade with three teachers, with the other grades having two teachers per grade. She states that they can absorb any change with a boundary change and thinks it is a good idea. Principal Childers speaks about the last boundary change about five years ago, with lots of supportive families. She talks about the limited space for the gym/cafeteria and b y reducing the enrollment at Templeview would help with that. Trustee Westwood asks Principal Dixon about safety at Sunnyside. She explains there is a concern, but they practice drills with Sunnyside having 4 main exits and she is proud of the procedures they have made and making spaces secure. Trustee Westwood asks about students being taught in the halls. Principal Dixon states that there are small groups or intervention groups due to the amount of students in the classrooms and need to have a quieter space for these groups. She adds she thinks these hall spaces are utilized more than in other schools, because of the population in each classes. She states that the staff is very dedicated to the development and learning of the students. She states the staff understands those conditions are not ideal but make the best with what they have. Trustee Westwood asks about her not having an office. Principal Dixon states she has shifted herself to being mobile, so they can utilize the office for speech teletherapy, students needing a quiet space, gifted and talented groups, or various other reasons. She states when parents show up that need to talk, that is the most uncomfortable to find a space. Trustee Westwood asks what her thoughts are on waiting for new possible school to be built to do a boundary change. Principal Dixon said if they knew a new school was being built they could do their best for the next couple of years, but they would need to know that for sure. She states the boundary options would help alleviate class siz es and would open up space for new move ins, but lunch would still be a concern with the amount of kids. She thinks if a school is built this would help a lot more with the space and population, but they are willing to do whatever is recommended. Trustee Wilson asks if is it better to know of a boundary change sooner than later. Principal Dixon said for Sunnyside teachers the number of students it would impact it would not hinder them. Principal Leavitt added that the sooner the better for a decision. Kelly Coughenour, Assist. Supt. Elementary Education adds if the levy does not pass to build a new school, we would need to do a more wide spread boundary change because Longfellow is also very crowded and the overflow students from Sunnyside go to Longfellow and Edgemont. Then he states if the west location on the south side of town is chosen for a new elementary, it might be in Longfellow's boundaries which again would need to be adjusted and who would fill up the new school would need to be decided. The Board discusses timelines, elections, and the safety need in these schools. Trustee Haacke adds that the process does need to be worked on moving forward, but there is a need to make a decision tonight. Trustee Wilson asks Ralph Frost, Director of Transportation for his input on the boundary changes and explanation for different start times for the schools. Ralph states the staircase of start times is due to not having enough buses to bus all the kids to school at the same time. He also states the boundary change for Templeview will not be difficult because of the proximity of students to the school. However, he states the boundary change at Edgemont will be a little more difficult because they only have 30 minutes to get all those students to school with busses covering that whole area. Trustee Haacke states that there are lots of schools across the country that start earlier than we do and maybe it is something the Board needs to discuss keeping with the staggered times. Chairwoman Radcliffe states then we bump into the start times of 7 am and it being too early. Ralph states some buses start picking up as early as 7 am in the rural areas with the last bus leaving to start pick up around 7:20 am. He adds the bus drivers are hard to find to help with more buses. Trustee Westwood asks if the committee ever looked at if a new elementary is built. Kelly Coughenour stated they did not really talk about that because it depends on the building site. Chairwoman Radcliffe ask for a motion for the boundary changes. Trustee Haacke makes a motion for the south end of town to adopt option 1b to move the neighborhoods to Edgemont Gardens Elementary. Trustee Haacke adds that he made the motion for 1b because he think it is the best option to move more kids and to help keep the communities together. Trustee Wilson states that if the levy passes and the effect the boundaries may have in the future, he hopes that with future boundary changes we take everything into consideration. He speaks about how difficult it will be for some students and in the future we need to minimize any future disruption. He states at the Board conference, there was a father of a school shooting victim and he talked about lots of things that could have been done at the school level. Trustee Wilson adds that the Boards number one responsibility is the students and their safety and hopes that the changes will help. Chairwoman Radcliffe states that this is not a decision that any of the Board takes lightly, with the well being of the kids, safety of the kids, and educational process. She states they are trying to make the best with where the district is at. Motion by Paul Haacke, second by Hillary Radcliffe. Final Resolution: Motion Carried Voting Aye: Elizabeth Cogliati, Hillary Radcliffe, Larry Wilson, Paul Haacke, Jeremy Westwood Chairwoman Radcliffe ask for a motion for the second boundary change for Bush and Templeview Elementary. Trustee Haacke asks to put forth a proposal for additional consideration. He stated that he spoke with Karen of Cooperative Strategies and parents at Bush Elementary. He said there was good feedback, but there is a neighborhood called Heritage that has 13 kids that attend Templeview and his proposal is that this neighborhood be moved in addition to the option we have now to also go to Bush Elementary. He stated that when he talked to Karen, she did not think it would have a negative impact on bussing. He adds that if the Board wanted to consider this additional change, we would need to get more feedback and information and a decision could not be made today. He states he thinks if would be a big help to Bush to include that neighborhood as part of the option. Trustee Westwood asks Kelly Coughenour if that was a consideration of the committee. Trustee Haacke answers no and that he is asking for the Board to take this into consideration as of today. He asks Trustee Wilson to confirm the name of the neighborhood. Trustee Wilson states he thinks it is called Heritage Hills. Margaret Wimborne, Director of Communication, states Karen did provide a rough draft of that change and adds several neighborhoods were looked at by the committee, but not sure if that neighborhood was included. She states that if the Board wants to consider this option, we would need to open it up for public input again because this is not something that the parents have seen. Trustee Haacke states Karen did say this neighborhood was not included and did not come up with the committee work. Trustee Haacke states that he had pleadings from parents to help Bush with this neighborhood and thinks the Board should consider this addition. Trustee Haacke states he did not think it would be a problem with bussing because buses pass that neighborhood. R alph Frost states there are currently no Bush buses in that area. Trustee Haacke states that with Option 1, there would be buses passing that neighborhood. Ralph states that there will not be buses in that neighborhood, because it is farther north and the school times are different. He states the buses that pass that neighborhood all go to Templeview, not Bush and there might be buses a little closer if the new boundary change were approved. Trustee Westwood states there was a committee put together and has done three months of work with the boundary changes, and now Trustee Haacke is throwing in a scenario that has not been heard of or talked about at the fifth hour. Trustee Westwood states he does not understand that. Trustee Haacke answers that the patrons provided feedback. Trustee Westwood asks if that feedback was during the committee process. Trustee Haacke did not know of that and stated this feedback was given at the open house. Margaret provides clarification that there were several opportunities for patron/parent feedback, explaining the process beginning with after the committee came up with 6 to 8 scenarios for both north and south side and ending with the open houses. Trustee Westwood states based on the process, there was plenty of time to provide feedback. Trustee Wilson states that this was never an option for feedback. Trustee Cogliati asks why are we just now talking about this. Chairwoman Radcliffe states we have a boundary change that has already been vetted and this additional change may be a separate issue that can be put through the process and discussed, not to convolute it with the current boundary change. Trustee Haacke states this addition is based on patron feedback learned at the open house and asks if this can be discussed now and ha ve it vetted by the next board meeting. Chairwoman Radcliffe reiterates the process and ask if a group thinks this is important not just one person from the open house. She states right now we have a plan that has gone through the process and if there is an addition it can be moved to the process but that will not be decided tonight. Trustee Haacke asks if we can decide tonight to move this to the process. Trustee Wilson states the parents from the Bush open house stated there was a lack of parental support so bringing in more people would be a huge benefit for Bush Elementary and agreed that this addition is an option. Chairwoman R adcliffe states that is sounds like this neighborhood is randomly being picked. Trustee Cogliati states she is not comfortable adding something tonight. Trustee Westwood states nothing was said since the open houses. Trustee Wilson brings up open meeting laws and Trustee Westwood stated it could have been to Jess to share with the Board,, not breaking open meeting la ws. Trustee Westwood states he does not understand why the random scenario that has not been vetted or talked about to anybody is being brought up. Trustee Haacke states that it is a proposal to look at as an option. Trustee Westwood states that is fine to have the discussion but states to not derail what the Board is to do tonight. Trustee Haacke states that he thinks we can go on with a motion and he only asks for this to be looked at as an option and goes through the process. Trustee Westwood states the way it was presented is that we seat this and derail all the work that the committee has done and states he does not think that is right. Trustee Cogliati states she think we should wait until we do the entire district. Chairwoman Radcliffe states that may be the correct answer, because they may happen in the next two years. She states that this neighborhood would most likely be upset because this has not been presented as an option. Trustee Cogliati states they we are supposed to be transparent with no surprises and this doesn't feel like transparency. Trustee Westwood states that he does not think we table the agenda item tonight based upon feedback that was received and not communicated to everybody. Chairwoman Radcliffe ask for a motion regarding Bush and Templeview. Trustee Cogliati makes a motion for Scenario 1 for Bush Elementary and Templeview Elementary. Motion by Elizabeth Cogliati, second by Jeremy Westwood.
