® Our letter grades came out for the state and the district earned an
A letter grade. Fountain Hills High school also earned an A
letter grade for the fifth time out of six cycles, with huge growth
in career and college readiness. Fountain Hills Middle School
had massive growth with 20 points and also eamed an A letter
grade. McDowell Mountain earned their first letter grade as a K-
5 school and earned a B, with being a few points away from an
A.

Falcons Preschool! had their fall program and McDowell
Mountain had their costume walk. The Coalition hosted Red
Ribbon week with lots of great activities for our students.

store which is always a great time. She won't be there this week

fun. She also went to the Boo fest and saw some of our teachers
there and she loves seeing our teacher out in the community. She
also attended the coffee with Cain online. She loved that we
have a parent university and asked if we provide resources. She
also loved the talk about naptime in kindergarten and the
advanced math at the elementary school. She loved the program
for our high school students to connect with local businesses and
looks forward to more discussion on that. She loved Red Ribbon
Week and that the Coalition is working with Debbie Romano
and Healthy Heartbeats.
Mrs. Reed shared that she congratulates all three schools and the
staff that worked so hard to get the letter grades because the last
couple of years have been really tough and she knows our staff
has put in a considerable amount of time and effort and
professional development to earn those grades. It is well
deserved. She also thanked Ms. Reichler for inviting parents
back into the elementary school so much. She shared that it will
make a big difference on support and involvement in their kids
education.
Mrs. Acker shared that she attended just about all the coffees
and appreciates getting all the information from the principals.
She concurs that the discussion from Coffee with Cain was
really good and having a group of parents and community
members to give their feedback is perfect. She attended the Tar
Wars that Dr. Rutkowski did and he did a fabulous job. She also
served lunch at the middle school and high school BBQ and she
shared that the students really appreciated it. She also shared
that she attended the leadership presentation that the fifth
graders put on and it was really terrific. She also attended the
Little Falcons program and it was fantastic. She then followed

have been for wall sensors, but they would look into it and get back to
us. She also asked about a monitoring agreement of $1,800. Dr.
Jagodzinski shared that we just recently switched the fire panel at LFPS
and that could be what that is for, but he would look into it and get back
to the board.
o Ms. Reid asked about the charges for Daikin. Dr. Jagodzinski shared that
is for parts to repair the chiller that is currently not operational.
o Ms. Reid asked if there was any notifications on the control side for
items such as dirty filters. Climatec shared that there is a run time in the
system to notify of a filter change, but they are not aware if our staff
uses that feature or not.
o Ms. Reid asked if there was anything from a control standpoint to lower
our costs. Climatec shared the majority of our costs are because of failed
mechanical equipment.
b. 5" Grade Trip to Grand Canyon

¢. Discipline Policies Specific to School Threats
© School Psychologists Lavona Montgomery and Peter McGloin presented
on the process of threat assessments.
o School Psychologists are one of the first people to be notified of a school
threat.
o Whena threat comes in, we notify MCSO. The admin team then
evaluates the situation and that includes principals and Dr. Jagodzinski.
IX.
Future Action
They then identify where the student is and get the student out of the
situation.
We have purchased 10 metal detector wands.
Once the student is in the office, either the counselor or psychologist
speaks to the student.
Most threats received are through social media.
A lockdown will be called when there is immediate concern to err on the
side of caution. A lot of times we will work with an MCSO deputy on
making that call. If it doesn’t require an immediate lockdown, the
student is then turned over to the school psychologist to conduct a threat
assessment.
Ms. Montgomery and Mr. McGloin went over the step by step process of
the assessment.
Mrs. Reed asked Ms. Montgomery how many parents attended the
parent university this morning. Ms. Montgomery shared that about
eleven attended. The parents that attended were very engaged, had great
questions and stayed for the duration of the time. She also shared that on
November 19" there is an evening event that will be about anxiety and
depression in children and teens.
Mrs, Reed shared that having parents on campus makes it much easier
for them to build a bond with the staff and be able to ask questions.
Ms. Reid shared that she loves that the word connection has been used
so many times in the conversation as that is the opposite of addiction,
not sobriety, but connection.
Ms. Reid also loves the idea of having a media fast, which is something
that was discussed at Coffee with Cain. She shared that in lieu of social
media, we invite students to be more connected in activities, such as
playing at the park.
Ms. Reid asked what the threshold is for when a student makes a serious
threat against somebody else and is it acted upon in a serious manner and
not just accepting an excuse of they were just joking. Dr. Jagodzinski
shared that with any threat, we go to the maximum first offense of a
nine-day suspension. It would have to rise to a certain level to involve an
independent hearing officer and the hearing officer would have to agree
to the consequences.
Ms. Reid asked if we include parents in the core team. Dr. Jagodzinski
shared that the parents are notified of a threat immediately. If a parent is
not cooperative, the district will immediately have MCSO go to the
house. The district may also call DCS if they feel it is a neglect issue.
Ms. Reid asked how we get in front of communication to the
community. Dr, Jagodzinski shared that it depends on the situation. He
also shared that if a parent has a concern or a question about something
that has happened on campus, district staff are available at all times. He
shared that he even has parents call him all the time. This way the
concern is cleared up quickly.
