The board resolutions were signed by governance secretary, Joanna Lopez-Inman.

B. King honored L. Carpenter for her dedicated service in her previous role, being Chair of the board. She was presented with a small gift. L. Carpenter has agreed to stay on the board, and will continue to contribute as Chair of the Finance Advisory Council and in other roles moving forward. 

Current Board Chair, S. Miller, let the board know about a special moment that occurred during the NWIS community meeting. The students were unable to perform their winter music program the night before, due to a power outage from a snow storm. During the all school community meeting, the students and music teacher did a mini version of the performance. The music teacher played a well-known Taylor Swift song on the violin, while the older students played the bass track of the song. During their violin performance, the whole student body started to quietly (and respectfully) sing along with the words to the song. S. Miller stated this type of community experience is something that affects everyone positively and they can take that into their daily lives.

A. Ahmad, principal of The Intergenerational School, let the board know that during TIS's last PD day the teachers were asked what their dreams are for the school.  95% of the teachers talked about their dreams for the school relating back to their individual development goals. He stated that TIS has been engaging in all-staff PD every week, since the start of the school year.  A. Ahmad expressed that the TIS team is continually trying to improve their practice and they all share collective goals for student growth and to move the TIS report card up.  

B. King gave a shout-out to Chance due to his hard work ethic, and his administrative and communication skills in difficult and complicated facilities situations around leases, CAM, etc. 

B. King also gave a shout-out to partners, Gino and Cassandra Hinton, as they have helped the IG's in any way they could when it was really needed. They especially came to the rescue when we needed busing for students with special needs, as they have helped provide transportation at a moment's notice.

M. Granson let the school board know that she and B. Nicolay are working on different ways to find new potential board members. 

Some board members discussed going through an agency, such as BVU, to find connected and passionate potential new board members. 

B. Roy and E. Figer introduced themselves to the board and explained why they are interested in the IG's.  

The School Board was handed the Intergenerational Schools: 25th Anniversary Strategies handout, and went over the sheet. The board reviewed the information the FIGS board members came up with at previous meetings. 

ESCLEW: In October, TIS, received their annual performance report and the admin were emailed regarding the contract renewal. TIS was approved for a 4 year contract beginning July 1, 2025. The next steps will include a new contract agreement to be approved by both parties' Boards before June 30, 2025. 

The special education compliance auditor came out and did a 2 part review of all files. The compliance rate was 41%, and the verification of fidelity was 48%, which is a decrease from 67%. J. Lewis stated that ESCLEW recommends the school add the position of Special Education Compliance Coordinator. She also encouraged TIS staff to attend ESCLEW's free PD sessions on SpEd whenever possible.  

CMSD: M. Rado stated that they will be doing contract updates for NWIS, during an upcoming annual meeting, with at least 1 board member required in attendance. The updates will need to be Board approved before June 30. The annual report for NWIS is going to be sent to the Board, and the school has fulfilled all requirements for the year. M. Rado mentioned that CMSD had educators come to visit NWIS, to look over 9 areas of education, and provided feedback to the principal. Their evaluation focused on structured learning environments, preparation, learning times, and behavior expectations. He noted the lower scores (still relatively high) were on assessment strategies and higher order thinking. M. Rado let the board know that NWIS had their special education compliance auditor visit, and there aren't any major concerns regarding their files currently.

S. Miller opened the floor to public comment, there weren't any comments made during the session.
