The board began by adopting the meeting agenda. A board member moved to approve the agenda \"as presented\" and another seconded; the chair called for a voice vote and the board approved the agenda.

On the consent agenda, which included routine personnel items and approval of listed policies and regulations, a director requested that regulation ILBC‑R be pulled for separate discussion. The board discussed ILBC‑R for several minutes; topics included the replan process and how schools communicate progress to families, and whether the district has systematic tracking of the communications and replans housed in the district's EduClimbers system.

After discussion, a motion to approve ILBC‑R was made, seconded and approved by voice vote. Board members recorded aye votes during the roll call portions of the consent action. No public commenters were signed up for this meeting and the board received no written public comments.

Why it matters: ILBC‑R addresses student replans and the district's obligations for communicating progress and language-proficiency information with families; the board discussed stronger assurances that replans and family updates are tracked in district systems.

Ending: The meeting moved on to presentations on bullying prevention, a CFO update and other policy conversations.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","RFSD Board Meeting- 04-23-25","oneSentenceSummary","Board agreed to the printed agenda, handled the consent agenda with one pulled regulation (ILBC‑R) for discussion and later voted to approve that regulation; votes were by voice and recorded as aye by attending directors.","taxTitle","Roaring Fork School District No. Re-1, School Districts , Colorado","taxId",38278,"location","Colorado","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6575322,"Board reviews revisions to multilingual education policy; CLDE director and experts consulted",2075,4827000,6902000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3115210-8ad2d871a737009af804fef6a4d2029d&start=4827&end=6902","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3115210-8ad2d871a737009af804fef6a4d2029d/thumbnail_4827000.jpg","/articles/6575322/Colorado/Board-reviews-revisions-to-multilingual-education-policy-CLDE-director-and-experts-consulted","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6575322-20d68184e93bc06cc4e2db0d381f3fc6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771146933&Signature=nREjtcuPUd7l~fnreZ790JqWn9B1INQocIRL2BKVUFq2CJ5LBbjl~MCTd2wCyvFW8MMMZt1uW~jlWOLMtWxZR-zGOENFq4uj6mlkV7MJuKH4c5XmfYA0QkhQrzcWv~TaJUiN7jglOOZfewIVCqpHWzy-R9nuGeYWYbis97uGAnVdLX9CmAnJGOOhW~5xmb1apdkkuJzbqm-KB3b~hJnElJ44Q3WimSt9spk2TPUNt4jAsJ0-l7gy9~mij3vcB0qfnQWXaI3KwLZ8RGd9k1H5DrTwXjT0Ss9jSa4ItTO5sTRIQa2mSBPb2yft87Z5Au3647TdKaIZW1FXO83yJs34zg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Board members discussed proposed revisions to policies that guide services for multilingual learners, including IHBEA (choice of bilingual and English learner programming) and related regulations.

Amy Fairbanks, director of the Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Education (CLDE) department, and other CLDE leaders described the review process. Fairbanks said the policy changes were vetted with long-term colleagues and regional experts in bilingual and dual-language education to align wording with current instructional research and equity framing. She told the board the consultation list included regional CLDE directors and university and nonprofit specialists the district has worked with over many years.

Instructional changes and program supports: staff described a stronger emphasis this year on formative language assessment and student writing samples analyzed through four lenses (genre, word, sentence and discourse) to target language conferences and small-group instruction. Fairbanks said the district has been adding full‑time CLDE coaches; next year most elementary schools will have full‑time coaches except one, and coaches work to support grade‑level teachers across the school day, not only during ELD pullout time.

Board questions centered on program models and accountability. Director Tyler asked whether comprehensible input and other second‑language pedagogy were considered; Fairbanks said those methods are encompassed within the policy language that now highlights culturally responsive and sustaining instruction. Directors pressed staff to ensure the district can demonstrate implementation fidelity — for example, tracking replans and parent communication held in the district's data systems.

Context and concerns: directors noted long-term trends in growth percentiles for multilingual students in state assessments and said improving those outcomes requires both classroom-level changes and upstream work on attendance and belonging. Staff flagged attendance declines among students of color as a complicating factor and said the district is working on attendance supports and student engagement alongside curricular improvements.

What happens next: the policy revisions will return through policy committee and the board for further readings and potential adoption; staff said more work is planned to link instruction, coaching, attendance and language assessment practices.

Ending: Directors and staff agreed on the need for routine progress reporting that disaggregates data by program and school to show whether the policy changes and coaching investments are improving outcomes.","Directors and staff reviewed proposed changes to IHBEA and other CLDE-related policies, including language about biliteracy and pedagogy; staff said the revision drew on district leadership and external experts and emphasized formative language assessment, coaching and growing full-time CLDE coaches at most schools.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6575326,"CFO and district accountability committee describe tightened controls after budgeting errors; DAC urges automation and transparency",3465,4036000,7501000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3115210-8ad2d871a737009af804fef6a4d2029d&start=4036&end=7501","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3115210-8ad2d871a737009af804fef6a4d2029d/thumbnail_4036000.jpg","/articles/6575326/Colorado/CFO-and-district-accountability-committee-describe-tightened-controls-after-budgeting-errors-DAC-urges-automation-and-transparency","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6575326-4e09b7024fb6e12e960c31b58f0f6221/orig.mp4?Expires=1771146933&Signature=CobtgkrljwpKe5bXph1-J3jugo4QoYADUmcPbLCXn~e~RVz5Bnsx7-awfyvBHqspJMmcNAtu~WerQelJXOYxRkon9khYdGwJqDt-WWzDy0QMvU1grCu4u2d7YrUeoqRXVg1IHOjMfpfLBBgFEvaJS2QcJYqoc-C2QOddwHb56Xn0S7a3Rv1~WhTRNGTLm9u6-C2t3zVT35Gp2~rF-fIt203IfZ2NQqyOt9Ej5mrjguVNN2LQqnbmRTt9edu04jud2v3dSeAzVtrXV1T2AVF4LLhbNfx5ueeQ8TM~627qnbkgpDZVp3~b3RmH11TjGdLouOC~P9jD26efg4yXMPIMWA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Roaring Fork School District officials told the board the district's revenue outlook has clarified and that staff will bring a formal recommendation on health insurance cost coverage at the board meeting on May 14. The district's District Accountability Committee (DAC) reported concerns about prior budgeting errors and recommended stronger quality controls.

Chief Chicoine (CFO) briefed the board on revenue items and timing, telling directors that work with state funding assumptions and federal allocation estimates has the district on schedule for the next budget steps. She said the finance team expects to bring a formal recommendation for employee health insurance (employee-only PPO 9) to the board for action at the May 14 meeting and that open enrollment will follow.

The DAC's chair, Brian Snow, told the board the parent-led advisory committee is emphasizing accountability measures in response to the district's recent budget problems. \"What happened, and what's being done to avoid a repeat, are the questions we keep hearing,\" Snow said. The DAC recommended greater investment in automation to reduce human data-entry error, additional finance and accounting staffing to provide quality controls, and clearer public communication of the corrective steps.

Why it matters: the DAC and the board said parents and staff want concrete, communicated changes to prevent future errors. Snow urged the board to ensure plans are \"concrete, actionable, and communicated to the community, with as much transparency as possible.\"

Other points from the discussion: board members said better narrative reporting that links budget lines to strategic priorities and the Unified Improvement Plan (UIP) would help the community understand trade-offs. Directors and finance staff said work will continue across general and other funds (grant fund, charter school fund, early childhood) and that some work remains to finalize budgets for other funds beyond the general fund.

What happens next: district staff will present a formal recommendation about the employee‑only PPO 9 health plan at the board's May 14 meeting and continue finance committee work; the DAC will resume budget review in the fall when members are recruited and up to speed.

Ending: Board members thanked DAC volunteers and finance staff and emphasized the need for repeated, multi-channel public communication of corrective actions and policy changes.","Chief Chicoine briefed the board on revenues, a planned open-enrollment health plan recommendation and next steps for the budget; the District Accountability Committee urged system changes, more automation and clearer public communication to prevent repeat budgeting errors.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6575332,"Roaring Fork officials report mixed bullying data, plan staff training and SEL focus",998,1417000,2415000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3115210-8ad2d871a737009af804fef6a4d2029d&start=1417&end=2415","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3115210-8ad2d871a737009af804fef6a4d2029d/thumbnail_1417000.jpg","/articles/6575332/Colorado/Roaring-Fork-officials-report-mixed-bullying-data-plan-staff-training-and-SEL-focus","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6575332-bb6cb0972b5b9f6a96eb168016206792/orig.mp4?Expires=1771146933&Signature=KJfnXhuqPWGBfIkXDy3hC1ZLEN42jYY~PzM2ixtfPL9z3ojtutxX3axBLWy8DM264ExzYQFzocbOqSWIai~NBZt82y2HChHXA8tmuoGWngyQCXfHBkaS122TehZns9FPzjlp1K9vfql~2wZ~Qi62xsVuV3Gdwp-2WUELhHjfv8fPLTiLhjtRojSsIynPkr-jmqJ-fKxk-ghl1Bzcavnyj0SW2YdeBR0HlRdzmuF6dZhtrGbcTuIveqhV2PUGDj0MyOcCyAlDcAhAUuunzmfm2LdksQjSZE1wlCBcDC5yqtHKR2JMMiQc9ku4LdVAeUguHAO26GnzJ7kFvNnpN5pCEA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Roaring Fork School District No. Re-1 officials reported to the school board that formal bullying incidents recorded in district reporting are down from last year, but anonymous reports and student survey measures give a more mixed picture and prompted new training and program steps.

Joel Hathaway, executive director of schools, told the board the district is tracking four measures: state incident reports entered through Infinite Campus, anonymous Safe2Tell submissions, student responses on the Panorama survey and the 2023 Healthy Kids Colorado survey. \"The use of coercion or intimidation to obtain control over another person or to cause physical, mental, or emotional harm to another person,\" Hathaway said, reading the policy definition that drives the district's response approach.

Hathaway said Infinite Campus incident entries were down year over year while Safe2Tell reports increased. He said the most recent Healthy Kids data (2023) showed about 27% of middle school students and 14% of high school students reported being bullied in the past year. Panorama measures report the percent of students answering \"almost never\" or \"only once in a while\" to questions about feeling bullied; Hathaway said the district sees higher favorable responses among older students than younger ones.

Why it matters: the district will use several measures together rather than rely on a single source. Hathaway said the discrepancy between staff-reported incidents and students' anonymous or survey responses suggests underreporting and also routine conflict that stops short of the policy definition of bullying.

District strategies and next steps: Hathaway listed prevention and response actions tied to Policy JICDE, which the board revised in December. They include the disciplinary matrix for consistent responses, weekly school-based student support team meetings, district monthly deans-of-culture collaboration, Safe2Tell promotion for anonymous reports, small-group “solution circles,” restorative practices and existing student leadership programs such as link leaders at high schools. He said elementary and middle schools use Second Step character lessons as part of tiered prevention; high schools use more student-led and mentoring approaches.

Hathaway said the district will add age-appropriate, evidence-based bully-prevention education into Strategic Priority 1.3 (social-emotional learning integration), with a focus on building programs for high school students where Second Step is less commonly used. He told the board the district plans staff training on bully-prevention policy in the fall of 2025, using a train‑the‑trainer model that begins with counselors, deans of culture and family liaisons.

Board discussion: Directors pressed for clarification on measurement and implementation. Director Tyler asked how Infinite Campus incident entries are generated; Hathaway responded that an adult who investigates an incident records it in the state portal using state codes for bullying. Several board members asked about frequency and fidelity of Second Step lessons; Hathaway and other staff said implementation varies by school and that some schools supplement or use other SEL curricula.

Limitations and context: district staff noted complications including friendship conflicts that don’t meet the bullying definition, social media and cyberbullying (there is no separate code for cyberbullying in Infinite Campus so incidents of that kind are included in the bullying code) and changing cultural context for language and behavior. Hathaway and other district leaders emphasized that many practices intended to reduce bullying — for example, stronger school culture, attendance and student belonging work — are upstream efforts that also reduce bullying incidents.

What happens next: the district will launch the staff training in fall 2025, begin Strategic Priority 1.3 next year as part of a four-year plan, and continue to monitor Infinite Campus incident entries, Safe2Tell submissions, Panorama data and Healthy Kids results to measure progress.

Ending: Board members expressed support for the approach but urged clearer, consistent metrics and targets in the strategic plan so progress can be measured year to year.","District staff told the Board of Education that incident reports to the state have fallen but anonymous student reports and survey responses show a more complex picture; the district plans staff training in fall 2025 and to add age-appropriate bully-prevention within a broader SEL initiative.","actionData","errors"]
