2. PUBLIC COMMENT: There was no public comment.
3. NEW BUSINESS A. FINANCE, OPERATIONS and MAINTENANCE i. Topic: Adopt 2019-2020 Elementary Budgets: Pat McHugh, Executive Director of Business and Operations explained that the Agenda Amendment included an amended Elementary Budget Adoption Motion, amended Elementary Final Budgets for all funds, and amended Mill Levy graphs. He reviewed all elementary budgeted funds totaling $62 million. The increase in the transportation fund includes the funds necessary to cover the first-year cost of seatbelts. The general fund budget for 2019-2020 was primarily impacted by the following factors: an increase in 67 ANB (students); an inflationary increase of .91% to the two entitlements and additional funding components, and the passage of a $200,519 over-base levy. Property tax levies for all elementary budgeted funds, other than the debt service fund, increased. The total tax value of the Elementary District increased over FY19. There was a change to the transportation fund as reflected on the elementary agenda amendment. The Transportation Fund was reduced by $77,166 as Beach Transportation agreed to allow MCPS to pay the cost of $351,000 for seatbelts over three years to reduce the impact on taxpayers. Administration recommended reducing the transportation fund to pay the obligation to Beach Transportation with the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) remittance. The Tuition Fund was increased to assist with excess special education costs. The debt service was reduced by $91,000 which was lowered from the prior TIF remittance. The Building Reserve Fund increased due to an expiring permissive levy within the building reserve. Overall the District will have a reduction of 14.36 mills. [Trustee Wake arrived at 6:15 pm]. Permissive levies come before the Board in March as an estimate of the levies with projects identified. These projections do not cover floor maintenance and emergency electrical and plumbing expenses. Mr. McHugh noted a couple modifications on the elementary projections under anticipated obligations affecting Title I, Security Resource Officers and Title IV. To offset the obligations there is a proposed increase in the permissive levy, anticipated position savings and use of worker’s compensation credit to balance the elementary budget. Mr. Hugh reviewed the projected revenue sources. Trustees asked for the opportunity to review detailed FY19 expenditures. Mr. McHugh agreed to provide a detailed report of general fund expenditures by category at a future Board meeting. Motion: Trustee Smith made a motion to approve adoption of all 2019-2020 elementary budgeted funds and the amounts to be raised by tax levies as presented on the attached amended motion and amended Resolution 2020-2(E). Trustee Decker seconded the motion. 5 There was no public comment. The motion passed unanimously by all Elementary Trustees present.
ii. Topic: Adopt 2019-2020 High School Budgets: Pat McHugh, Executive Director of Business and Operations reviewed the proposed high school budgets for the various funds. The amended high school budgeted funds total $49.2 million. This represents an increase of $1.2 million from 2019-2020. The General Fund budget for 2019-2020 was primarily impacted by the following factors: an inflationary increase of .91% to the two entitlements and additional funding components; an increase of 28 ANB; and the passage of a $118,986 over-base levy. He noted a couple of highlights regarding the transportation fund and the high school portion of the $117,000 cost for school bus seatbelts, which will be covered by the TIF remittance. The building reserve fund was reduced as a factor of an accrual in that budget. Property tax levies for all of the high school budgeted funds, other than the debt service fund, increased. The mills levied in these funds decreased. Mr. McHugh reviewed the expenditure increases and noted the projections reflect a balanced high school budget. He reviewed the mill levy graphs and explained the trends. Motion: Trustee Sterbis made a motion to adopt all 2019-2020 high school budgeted funds and the amounts to be raised by tax levies as presented on the attached amended motion and amended Resolution 2020-2(S). Trustee Wake and Dugger seconded the motion. Chair Holland thanked Mr. McHugh for his work regarding the TIF changes. There was no Board discussion and no public comment. The motion passed unanimously by all Trustees present.
Chair Holland adjourned the Special Board meeting at 6:49 p.m.
4. BOARD WORK SESSION A. BOARD i. Trustee Roles, Responsibilities, and General Rules of Boardsmanship: Elizabeth Kaleva, District Counsel noted the focus tonight would be annual review of trustee’s roles, responsibilities, general rules of boardsmanship and communication. Section 1000 of the Board Policy manual addresses Trustee roles as publicly elected officials. The biggest thing to note is that the Board does not hire or fire, but they base decisions on recommendations from the superintendent and administration. The Superintendent is the only person the Board supervises. The Board functions as a legislative body to implement policy and make decisions on behalf of the District. The Board has a judicial function on grievances and termination hearings. The Board acts as a group. Individual communication is limited to official communication. Complaints or concerns should be communicated with the Superintendent or Board Chair to gain clarification. Use the chain of command. If there is something questionable on social media, contact the Superintendent or Principal. If there is a violation by a Board member, the Board Chair would address directly with the individual. If a situation arises where a Trustee may need to advocate for someone, please communicate to the Chair or Superintendent. Individuals are welcome to come to the Board as a whole with concerns. Superintendent Watson met with individual Trustees to get to know them and valued this time. He intends to send a weekly email update to all Trustees on notable items happening in the District.
ii. Board Meeting/Communications/Trustee Participation: Chair Holland opened discussion on the structure of the Board meetings and noted that when the Board had committees that it was commented that these committee meetings tended to be lengthy. Trustees expressed concern that decisions were made at the committee level and the Board had to vote in favor. Committees were dominated by administration presenting. Committees did not have the strength of asking questions, making motions, discussion and voting. If Trustees feel the lack of opportunity for discussion, then the Board agenda should be tightened up or a work session should be held. Work sessions allow a round robin discussion on topics that Trustees sometimes pick and choose and require a quorum. Chair Holland suggested holding a monthly 6 work session in addition to the two monthly Board meetings. Trustees discussed their main concern with the Board meetings is that there is not enough discussion time and decisions are made too fast. The suggestion was made to allow questions as part at one meeting and have action at the next meeting. It was suggested that work sessions be scheduled twice per year to discuss complex issues, and more frequent if needed. Mrs. Kaleva noted that the Board needs to declare the structure of the meetings as they wish. Legally public comment must be taken prior to a motion and action. Mrs. Kaleva noted that prior superintendents met with a union representative and reviewed the draft agenda, and if there was a lot of staff interest in a topic it could be facilitated into the structure of the agenda. The agenda is set by the Board Chair and Superintendent. Superintendent Watson noted that KaCee Ballou, President of the Missoula Educators Association plans to attend the Board meetings and suggested that she could be placed first on public comment. Mrs. Kaleva talked about the constitutional provisions the right to know and right to participate and the right to privacy. Constitutional changes now require that staff misconduct be open to public. Student issues are protected by FERPA and health issues are protected by HIPPA. Everything else is open for public. Title II in the Montana Code is very important, including code of conduct. When in doubt, please call regarding potential conflict. Mrs. Kaleva cautioned Trustees against social media and blogging as they are subject to public disclosure. Chair Holland provided Superintendent Watson and Mrs. Kaleva a copy of a new Superintendent Evaluation tool and asked for their thought and input on the form. The second part of the evaluation tool requires that the Board and Superintendent sit down to outline goals for the coming year. At some point the Board should talk about whether to keep this language in the evaluation or begin utilizing the new tool. Chair Holland encouraged Trustees to share their thoughts with her. If Trustees have potential items for the agenda, please share with Chair Holland and she may discuss with Superintendent Watson. A phone call is preferable to an email or text. Chair Holland reminded Trustees that Board meetings are televised and to be mindful of how they are seen on camera. She recognized that the Board is respectful in not interrupting as it is difficult to follow a conversation if there are interruptions. She noted that Trustee announcements under Reports on the agenda is an opportunity for Trustees to share events, calendar items or general information on items such as meetings that Trustees attended. After discussion, the Trustees agreed to delete the trustee report agenda item. Trustee Wake announced that MTSBA has changed their routine of holding their annual meeting in June and MCEL in October, and the location will vary between Missoula and Billings. She encouraged Trustees to read MTSBA emails. Voting is based the number of attendees per district, thus the more people that attend the more votes that a district is allowed. Trustee Wake noted that the District will pay for Trustee registration fees, food and mileage.

3. ROLE & RESPONSIBILITIES OF STUDENT TRUSTEES: Chair Holland discussed the role of student trustees. She noted that BP1106 was included in the packet, and this policy will be updated as it currently excludes 12th grade students. Chair Holland explained that the expectation was to have student trustees attend the first Board meeting of the month and be prepared to provide a report on their school and activities. Board meetings are held on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month, and she noted that twice per year the Board meetings are held in Seeley Lake. Seeley-Swan High School has two student trustees, and one of them will call into the meeting to provide a verbal report. Chair Holland reviewed the makeup of the Board noting that MCPS has eleven trustees, which is rather unique. The high school trustees represent the outlaying school districts that feed into the high schools, and they only vote on agenda items related to the high schools. The elementary trustees live within the MCPS school boundaries and vote on elementary and high school matters. Chair Holland asked Student Trustees to please send their report to Lenora Jacobs if they could not make a meeting and the report will be read at the meeting. She reminded the students that the meetings are recorded by MCAT and broadcasted on television and asked that they turn on the microphone and speak clearly. She asked that reports be given in a positive fashion. 8 Board meetings are open to the public and minutes are recorded. Student Trustees are welcome to stay for the Board meeting or are welcome to leave after giving their report. Student Trustees are not allowed to participate in Board Executive Sessions. Superintendent Watson noted that there is a formal process for placing items on the board agenda and the agendas are set a week in advance.

Erin Geiger has a 7th grader at Washington Middle School and 3rd grader at Paxson Elementary. She welcomed Superintendent Watson. She and her husband are happy with the education their children are receiving at MCPS; however, she is frustrated with the Dual Language Immersion program as Washington 6th graders only have half a period of Spanish. DLI should be a long-term K-12 commitment. Paxson lives up to this commitment, but Washington Middle School has dropped the ball. The Board will hear more on this topic. B.

6. COMMUNITY CONNECTION A. SPARK! Program: Julie Robitaille introduced Sienna Solberg, Director of SPARK! Arts Ignite Learning Program. This week is National Arts Appreciation and Education Week.

Trustee Kendall noted that a committee reviewed and recommended a later school start time for the high schools, but the change in the start time was not moved forward due to the increase in transportation costs. She asked if the district might look at ways to lower the cost to allow high school students to start at a later time. There was no further Board discussion and no public comment. The motion passed unanimously.
iii. Topic: Approve Purchase and Sale Agreement Jeannette Rankin Water Right 76H 105168 00: Pat McHugh, Executive Director of Business and Operations noted that when the District acquired the Jeannette Rankin property, an 8 acre water right was also acquired. The water right is lost if not used. The District issued a Request for Proposals for the purchase of the water right with a minimum bid of $12,000. Peak Health Management Company, LLC submitted a proposed price of $32,200. The purchase agreement conveys the right and execution of the deed. The next step is execution of the purchase agreement. Mr. McHugh noted that proceeds would be deposited in the Miscellaneous Program-Fund 15 and would be subject to Board approval for use. There are currently no plans for use of these funds. There were no further questions. Motion: Trustee Lorenzen made a motion to approve execution of the purchase agreement with Peak Health Management Company, LLC. Trustee Kendall seconded the motion. There was no board discussion and no public comment. The motion passed unanimously by all K-12 trustees present.
iv. Topic: Lease of Cold Springs Elementary: Pat McHugh, Executive Director of Business and Operations reported that the lease committee met to discuss and revise the lease. A draft lease is attached to the agenda and has been shared with the potential purchaser. The final agreement will be brought back to the Board for approval on September 24. The committee talked about recitals reflecting intent that the tenant endeavor to provide childcare for all children that may be underserved and recommended a licensed facility. Mr. McHugh distributed and reviewed a colored diagram of the proposed grounds. The property would be conveyed as is. Rental would be based on $3 per square foot. The agreement addresses compliance with local, state and
13 federal laws and compliance with MCPS rules and regulations. The District is limiting the out-of- pocket obligation for structural maintenance to $50,000, and the remodel is subject to MCPS approval with the obligation of the lessee to pay for the cost. There is intent of the assignment provision to allow the district to share in potential rental revenue. Trustee Newbold inquired how a term of 10-years compared to other leases with the District. Mr. McHugh explained that the lease was contemplated to offer a ten-year term with the ability to renew. Prior leases have been 5-year terms. Prescott School has been leased for over 15 years, and the District has long- term leases with Garden City Harvest and Westside Park next to Lowell Elementary of over 30- 40 years. Garden City Harvest has an educational service, and Missoula Parks and Recreation has made significant improvements to Westside Park. The terms for Cold Springs lease were also based on the cost of improvements to be made. Trustee Kendall also noted that lease did not reflect a default clause. There was no further trustee comment. Public comment: April Burke noted that she has lived in the Cold Springs neighborhood for 25 years. When the school was vacated the neighborhood was very apprehensive but have been patient. As the building sat empty it was noted that there has been more drug activity in the area, and law enforcement was notified. The neighborhood is thrilled with the connection to a preschool, commitment to children, and a long term lease. Ms. Burke encouraged the Board to approve the lease.
C. PERSONNEL, NEGOTIATIONS & POLICY i. Topic: Approve Personnel Report: Dave Rott, Executive Director of Human Resources noted the report was normal and reflects the numerous hires at the beginning of the school year. Mr. Rott noted new three FTEs were added for increased enrollment at CS Porter for 8th grade, Russell for Kindergarten, and Chief Charlo for 1st grade so multiple kids did not have to be leveled. Motion: Trustee Sterbis made a motion and to approve the September 10, 2019 Personnel Report, and Trustee Lorenzen seconded the motion. There was no Board discussion, and no public comment. The motion was unanimously by all Trustees present.

3 45 Rules for Consideration of Resolutions
1. Consideration of Proposed Resolutions are subject to Robert’s Rules of Order and may be moved by a Delegate or Director present at the meeting. Consideration of any resolution submitted by a member school board or by the MTSBA Board after February 15 must be preceded by a vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the delegates present and voting elect to suspend the rules to consider late proposals. Late proposals shall be accompanied by sufficient copies for all delegates (minimum fifty (50) copies) and shall be available immediately prior to registration of Delegate Assembly. Late proposals by individual delegates that have not been submitted, vetted and approved for consideration by the individual delegate’s own board, the MTSBA Board, or another member board will not be eligible for consideration by the Delegate Assembly. 2. In speaking to a motion, a Delegate will be limited to three minutes. 3. When a member has once spoken on a question, the Delegate will not be recognized again for the same question until all others who wish to speak have done so. 4. All voting shall be by electronic device. An electronic device will be assigned to each voting Delegate. A division of the Assembly may be called pursuant to Robert’s Rules of Order. 5. An amendment proposed via a motion to amend can be quite extensive, even in the form of a substitute motion that replaces the entirety of original wording. As such, members interested in any adopted or proposed resolution in its current form are encouraged to be aware of this possibility.
Article XI: Sources and Hierarchy of Authority
The Montana School Boards Association operates pursuant to authority granted and under legal restrictions imposed by virtue of its organizational structure as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. Such authority and restrictions take precedence over all other sources of authority for the Montana School Boards Association. The Montana School Boards Association also operates under the authority of and pursuant to the restrictions imposed by various member-adopted documents. The hierarchy of member-adopted documents is as follows: 1. MTSBA’s Bylaws; 2. Principles and Guidelines adopted by the membership; 3. Resolutions passed by the membership; and 4. Resolutions/Motions of any caucus of MTSBA.
In the case of a conflict between any of the above, the source of authority higher on the list above shall control.
4 46 Delegate Assembly
• The primary focus of the Delegate Assembly will be to: o Adopt, reject or amend Submitted Resolutions proposed by member school boards or by the MTSBA Board of Directors; o Assign “action” or “support” designations for approved resolutions. § A designation of “action” means that MTSBA will make the resolution a priority and will take a proactive role in finding a sponsor(s) of legislation to carry out the intent of the resolution, preparing draft legislation for the sponsor(s), actively working with the sponsor, testifying on the legislation before legislative committees and advocating for the passage of such legislation to maximize the success of passage of any and/or all bill(s) that carry out the intent of the resolution; § A designation of “support” means that MTSBA will testify on proposed legislation before legislative committees establishing our support for any and/or all legislation that carries out the intent of the resolution. o Approve, reject or modify any additional Late Resolutions proposed by a member Board of Trustees or the MTSBA Board of Directors in accordance with the following protocols: § Consideration of any Late Resolution (i.e., any resolution submitted by a member school board or by the MTSBA Board of Directors after the 5:00 p.m., September 17 deadline as referenced hereinabove) in an even numbered year must be preceded by: • A minimum of fifty (50) copies available at the opening of registration at Delegate Assembly. Note: This will be the responsibility of those that wish to introduce the Late Resolution and not the MTSBA staff; and • A vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the delegates present and voting to suspend the rules to consider said Late Resolution. o Resolutions submitted by individual trustees without following the procedures set forth hereinabove will not be eligible for consideration by the Delegate Assembly. o Resolutions not receiving a majority vote of the Delegate Assembly shall be deemed to have failed. o Resolutions that receive a tie vote of the Delegate Assembly shall be considered by the membership at the Annual Meeting and carry a designation of “No Recommendation” from the Delegate Assembly.
5 47 2019 PROPOSED RESOLUTIONS PACKAGE
Upon receiving this 2019 Resolutions Package, please read and review each of the following proposed resolutions. Proposed resolutions should be discussed amongst local boards in preparation of deliberations and adoption of resolutions to occur at the Delegate Assembly on October 18, 2019.
The Delegate Assembly is composed of the Board of Directors and three delegates from each MTSBA region member and meets annually with the purpose of studying and formulating a legislative platform for the association and recommend such a platform for consideration at the Annual Meeting of MTSBA.
Consistent with MTSBA by-laws, the full membership will vote on resolutions approved by the Delegate Assembly at the June Annual Meeting. Please note that all resolutions, beyond document formatting, are included as submitted to MTSBA.
6 48 Montana School Boards Association Board of Directors Gap Analysis Constitutional Promises vs. Funding Realities Submitted August 27, 2019
Resolution Overview: The Directors of the Montana School Boards Association believe that it is important to ensure the state’s continued focus on and compliance with constitutional guarantees afforded children under Article X of the Montana Constitution. As part of this effort, the Directors are proposing a resolution that would call on MTSBA to continually analyze and identify, draw attention to and seek legislation to close any gaps between the promises of quality that are made to Montana citizens through the definition of the Basic System of Free Quality Public Elementary and Secondary Schools as defined in 20-9-309, MCA, and the level of quality reasonably assured through Montana law. The process proposed (analyzing, identifying and seeking to close gaps between the promise and current realities of quality) was previously approved by the membership in October 2018. The Directors are proposing to continue this process going into the 2021 Legislature. The Directors have also identified proposed key areas where current gaps between the promise and reality of quality are apparent, derived from a review of member answers to the critical issues survey administered in July 2019, as well as the deliberations regarding these critical issues by the K-12 Vision Group in August 2019 and MTSBA Caucuses in October 2018. Each of these proposed key areas are addressed in the text of the resolution.
Specific sections of law anticipated to be changed: Key topical areas where changes are proposed include school facility funding, improved recruitment and retention, application of inflationary adjustments to the entire formula and increased help for students affected by poverty (See attached MTSBA Resolution). Specific sections of law preliminarily identified are listed in the text of the attached resolution. Additionally, the Directors are proposing that an important part of MTSBA’s advocacy be focused on preserving enhancements to the funding formula and increased flexibility for Montana’s public schools that MTSBA has successfully attained over the past several years that could come under attack in the 2021 Legislature.
How is the resolution anticipated to advance the interests of all of Montana’s public schools, and/or public school students and/or increase student opportunity and success? The Directors of the Montana School Boards Association believe that this resolution will help ensure a focus of MTSBA’s advocacy efforts before the 2021 Legislature on preserving improvements in the funding formula and increased flexibility for Montana’s public schools previously passed into law. This resolution will also empower MTSBA to seek further enhancements in law that will, if passed, ensure a stronger alignment between the promises of quality that are made to Montana citizens through the definition of the Basic System of Free Quality Public Elementary and Secondary Schools as defined in 20-9-309, MCA, and the level of quality reasonably
7 49 assured through current law. If successful, these steps will better allow Montana’s public schools to ensure the constitutional guarantees afforded children in Montana’s public schools.
What are the anticipated sources of external opposition (groups outside of MTSBA)? There are organizations that have opposed the concept, mission and legislative goals of Montana’s public schools and MTSBA in every legislative session in recent memory. There are also individual legislators serving in the Montana Legislature who have regularly voted in a manner contrary to the expressed will of MTSBA members in the past. The 2019 Legislative Session laid productive groundwork in working with solutions- oriented legislators. MTSBA does not foresee any significant shift in these realities. Given the uncertainty in the result of the 2020 gubernatorial election, it is unclear what our relationship with the executive will be.
What are the anticipated sources of internal opposition or division within MTSBA and what steps have been taken, if any, to mitigate/minimize or resolve such division? The Directors of the Montana School Boards Association do not anticipate sources of internal opposition as a result of previous steps taken. The Directors and staff of the Montana School Boards Association have worked over the last several months to ensure consensus among its members on the proposals included in this resolution. Specific efforts in this regard include, but are not limited to: • Proposing to replicate a process of analyzing gaps between the promise and reality of funding that the membership unanimously embraced in October 2018; • Focusing on specific proposals that are aligned with priorities of the membership that have been recently expressed through the critical issues survey and deliberations of the K-12 Vision Group (August 2019) and MTSBA caucuses (October 2018).
What is the projected statewide impact on Montana’s public schools of the proposed resolution? The Directors of the Montana School Boards Association believe that passage of legislation consistent with this resolution will improve the success of Montana’s public schools in fully developing the educational potential of each child.
Please provide any additional background, explanation or other context for the resolution that you would like to be considered during the deliberations of the Delegate Assembly: See the Resolution language approved by the MTSBA Board of Directors.
Analyze and resolve gaps between the definition of quality and the reality of the funding formula.
Current gaps identified include:
8 50 1. Ensure preservation of the Natural Resource Development K-12 Funding Payment to mitigate local tax obligations for school district major maintenance levies. 2. Application of inflation on all K-12 Base Aid 3. Continue to enhance recruitment and retention. 4. Assist students negatively affected by poverty and other factors interfering with full educational development.
The Promise of Quality vs. the Reality of the Funding Formula – Resolving Gaps
BE IT RESOLVED: MTSBA believes that the definition of quality in 20-9-309 as currently written is sufficiently aligned with the constitutional guarantees afforded children under Article X of the Montana Constitution to fulfill the goal of fully developing the educational potential of the state’s citizens.
There have also been some noted improvements in the funding formula over the last ten years, including the addition of full-time kindergarten, a better scaled basic entitlement, expanded authority of school districts to address the needs of children qualified for services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and through improvements in funding (both overall and in the State’s share) and flexibility.
MTSBA believes there are remaining gaps between what is promised in the definition of quality under 20- 9-309, MCA, and what is reasonably attainable through funding yielded by the funding formula in its current state. Key areas where the funding formula falls short in providing resources necessary for districts to provide an education worthy of the definition of quality in 20-9-309, MCA, are:
1. Address State Funding of School Facilities: Seek to remove language in existing law that allows the state to fund less than the amount that would otherwise be yielded through the formula through a prorated distribution of funds. The two sections implicated are 20-9- 525(5) and 20-9-346(2)(b) a. 20-9-525(5) If the appropriation from or the available funds in the school major maintenance aid account in any school fiscal year are less than the amount for which school districts would otherwise qualify, the superintendent of public instruction shall proportionally prorate the aid distributed to ensure that the distributions do not exceed the appropriated or available funds. b. 20-9-346(2)(b) based on the limitation of state equalization aid appropriated for debt service purposes, determining the state advance for school facilities and the proportionate share of state reimbursement for school facilities that each eligible district must receive for the school fiscal year. 2. Ensure Equitable Funding: Protect the phased in expansion of state support for
9 51 GTB (232% for fiscal year 2021 and each succeeding fiscal year, 20-9-366) and the Natural Resource Development K-12 School Facilities Payment ($7.6 million in fiscal year 2021, and $10 million in fiscal year 2022, increased by an inflationary adjustment calculated as provided in 20-9-326 in each succeeding fiscal year, 20-9- 635). 3. Improve Recruitment and Retention: Continue to seek legislation to improve school districts’ abilities to effectively recruit and retain high quality educators. Examples of strategies to support include state assistance on managing the cost of health benefits, and adequate funding of loan forgiveness programs, service scholarships, state paid stipends and programs supporting local pipelines into the profession (e.g.: educators rising). 4. Resolve Selective Application of Inflation to the Funding Formula: The definition of quality in 20-9-309, MCA, asserts the necessity of a formula that is "self-executing and includes a mechanism for annual inflationary adjustments.” In spite of the inclusion of this requirement for the entire formula in the definition of quality, all portions of the formula are not self-executing or inflation adjusted. This is of particular importance in seeking inflation adjustment for special education funding. Additionally, when the state faces funding difficulties, the discussion inevitably turns to freezing inflation. MTSBA shall seek to ensure application of inflation as set forth in 20-9-326 to the funding formula (as required by 20-9-309), including all formula elements to which current law requires the application of inflation and expansion of existing law to provide inflation for remaining elements of the funding formula, including Special education, Gifted and talented and Career and Technical/Vocational Education. 5. Preserve Previous Progress: Monitor and work to preserve and protect existing provisions of law previously passed pursuant to MTSBA resolution that closed gaps between the definition of quality in 20-9-309 and the reality of the funding formula. 6. Improve Access to Opportunity for Students Affected by Poverty: Seek increases in state support for at risk students that is consistent with previous cost studies. The definition of quality in 20-9-309, MCA, asserts that the funding formula includes funding necessary to address the needs of at-risk students. The state’s own analyses under QSIC identified a cost-based weighting of 20% to the ANB formula as needed to address these needs. MTSBA shall seek a 20% weighting factor to ANB for students eligible for free or reduced lunch in lieu of the current At Risk and American Indian Achievement Gap formula elements. Tie the increase to effective strategies aimed at closing the opportunity/achievement gap. This effort clarifies the opportunity gap as a systemic issue not inherent differences in students’ capabilities. An example could include development of a clearinghouse of best practices and strategies, with an incentive for school district use of the increased funds on implementation of such practices and strategies and improved outcomes for students.

10 52 Columbia Falls Public Schools Resolution No. 1 Levy for Health Insurance Submitted September 10, 2019
Resolution Overview: Non voted levy for health insurance coverage. Remove "Except for a School District from MCA 2-9-212(1). The levy must be deposited in an internal service fund as provided in 20-3-331.
Specific sections of law anticipated to be changed: The proposal will provide equity amongst all politicial subdivisions of the state. It is not equitable that school districts are specifically exempted from the ability to levy an annual property tax to fund contributions for health insurance.
How is the resolution anticipated to advance the interests of all of Montana’s public schools, and/or public school students and/or increase student opportunity and success? Medical inflation and the corresponding escalating cost of health insurance premiums exceed the general fund entitlement funding increases. School Districts must absorb the cost by either cutting programs or moving costs to funds outside of the general fund budget authority constraints such as the local tax funded tuition fund.
What are the anticipated sources of external opposition (groups outside of MTSBA)?
What are the anticipated sources of internal opposition or division within MTSBA and what steps have been taken, if any, to mitigate/minimize or resolve such division? Requirements for participation in a statewide health insurance program may be required to control overall health insurance premiums and avoid cadillac plans.
What is the projected statewide impact on Montana’s public schools of the proposed resolution? This proposal will allow School Districts to recruit and retain talented educators as health insurance benefits are a key factor to encourage ambitious, hard working, and talented individuals to have a career in the public schools.
Please provide any additional background, explanation or other context for the resolution that you would like to be considered during the deliberations of the Delegate Assembly.
Goal Area 1 Recommendation and Designation: Notes from Goal Area 1 Committee: • A health insurance levy will amount to $130 million per year statewide assuming no increase over current contributions.
11 53 Columbia Falls Public Schools Resolution No. 2 Change Formula Inflation Index Submitted September 10, 2019
Resolution Overview: Revise the inflationary formula defined in 20-9-326. The inflationary factor based on the consumer price index is not relevant to the annual cost increases of operating a school district. The School District General Fund is comprised of at least 80% personnel expenditures. Personnel expenditures include longevity, steps and lanes, and annual pay raises. These factors typically range between 2% and 4%. The inflationary factor as derived by the current formula has averaged 1.58% over the past three bienniums.
Specific sections of law anticipated to be changed: MCA 20-9-326
How is the resolution anticipated to advance the interests of all of Montana’s public schools, and/or public school students and/or increase student opportunity and success? The inflationary formula is used by OPI in the general fund entitlements within their budget submitted to the legislature as a basis for the biennium appropriations. Over the past several legislative sessions, this inflationary factor represented the only amount of additional state funding of the school district general fund. Instead of this factor being the starting point for negotiating and advocating for school funding, it has become the only point of reference. If this formula is going to truly end up representing the only state funding increase schools receive on an annual basis, than the formula needs to be derived from something that is based on educationally relevant factors.
What are the anticipated sources of external opposition (groups outside of MTSBA)?
What are the anticipated sources of internal opposition or division within MTSBA and what steps have been taken, if any, to mitigate/minimize or resolve such division?
What is the projected statewide impact on Montana’s public schools of the proposed resolution? MCA 20-9-309 requires the legislature to provide a basic system of free quality public education. The mechanism to fund this basic system of quality education should be based on educationally relevant factors such as the cost to recruit and retain qualified and effective teachers. If the cost of health insurance benefits is averaging 7% and the MFPE is routinely negotiating for 2-4% annual cost of living raises, it only appears appropriate to provide a funding mechanism that is comparable to this personnel cost that represents at least 80% of the general fund budget.

Goal Area 1 Recommendation and Designation: Notes from Goal Area 1 Committee: • The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) cost of labor index adds about 1% per year to the cost of the formula over current law.
13 55 Bozeman Public Schools Resolution No. 1 Allow Transfer of District Funds to Non-Profit Foundation to Support School District Submitted September 13, 2019
Resolution Overview: Allow the transfer of funds that were raised for purposes other than PK-12 education from district accounts to a non-profit foundation whose tax exempt purpose is to support a school district(s).
Specific sections of law anticipated to be changed: 20-6-603(2)
How is the resolution anticipated to advance the interests of all of Montana’s public schools, and/or public school students and/or increase student opportunity and success? Allow all districts to clean their accounts of funds that are not intended to be used for the general operation of the district.

What are the anticipated sources of internal opposition or division within MTSBA and what steps have been taken, if any, to mitigate/minimize or resolve such division? None
What is the projected statewide impact on Montana’s public schools of the proposed resolution? Allow all districts to clean their accounts of funds that are not intended to be used for the general operation of the district.
Please provide any additional background, explanation or other context for the resolution that you would like to be considered during the deliberations of the Delegate Assembly. Bozeman has raised money over the years for graduating student scholarships. We have about $900,000 in an endowment account now. We have never spent any of the donated money and have only used the interest earnings once in 40 years for scholarships. While the money is in a District account, the Bozeman School Foundation has been managing the investment of the money and awarding the scholarships for about 10 years. The Superintendent, Deputy Superintendent Operations and one Trustee serve as exofficio officers on the Foundation Board. We would like to transfer this money to the Foundation. It is our understanding that Billings and Great Falls have similar situations with money raised over the years for purposes outside of "normal school operations". None of the funds are from taxes. Bill 576 that just passed allowed a school district to transfer funds from account to account internally but did not allow transfer to outside nonprofit.

14 56 Bozeman Public Schools Resolution No. 2 Improve Access to Drivers Education Submitted September 13, 2019
Resolution Overview: Provide greater access to Drivers Education for students. Bozeman has a long waiting list of students that would like to take Drivers Education when they are eligible. We fill available spaces based on the student's age (Older served 1st ) . The current average age of students enrolled is 15.6 years. We have attempted to recruit more teachers by increasing their compensation; however, the ability of teachers to get the Drivers Education Endorsement and keeping the program affordable for families have been significant obstacles.
Specific sections of law anticipated to be changed: See anticipated external opposition response below.
How is the resolution anticipated to advance the interests of all of Montana’s public schools, and/or public school students and/or increase student opportunity and success? Allow eligible students to complete Drivers Education when they are eligible while keeping the program self supporting and affordable for families.
What are the anticipated sources of external opposition (groups outside of MTSBA)? It depends on the specific solution sought. For example, if there is an effort to change the requirement that drivers education instructors be certified teachers, there may be resistance from MFPE. On the other hand, if the solution involves expanding the availability of obtaining the endorsement beyond MSU Northern there may be conflict with the University System.
What are the anticipated sources of internal opposition or division within MTSBA and what steps have been taken, if any, to mitigate/minimize or resolve such division? None
What is the projected statewide impact on Montana’s public schools of the proposed resolution? Allow eligible students to complete Drivers Education when they are eligible while keeping the program self supporting and affordable for families.

15 57 Great Falls Public Schools Levy for Health Insurance Submitted September 16, 2019
Resolution Overview: Board of Trustees will have the ability to permissively levy health insurance premium in the same manner afforded city and county elected officials by state statute.
Specific sections of law anticipated to be changed: MCA 2-9-212
How is the resolution anticipated to advance the interests of all of Montana’s public schools, and/or public school students and/or increase student opportunity and success? Health insurance is a major benefit for school employees. The cost of health insurance continues to drain resources from the general fund.
What are the anticipated sources of external opposition (groups outside of MTSBA)? Taxpayers Association
What are the anticipated sources of internal opposition or division within MTSBA and what steps have been taken, if any, to mitigate/minimize or resolve such division? Opposition to this resolution is unlikely.
What is the projected statewide impact on Montana’s public schools of the proposed resolution? This will have a positive impact on the general fund in all districts that provide health insurance to employees.
Please provide any additional background, explanation or other context for the resolution that you would like to be considered during the deliberations of the Delegate Assembly: School districts are faced with the same medical inflation increases (premiums) experienced by city and county government. County and city elected officials are allowed by MCA to permissively levy health insurance premiums. There is no reasonable explanation why school districts are treated differently than city and county government entities that are allowed to levy (permissive) the cost of providing employee health insurance.

Allow Limited Waiver of Tuition
Resolution Overview: Resolution Background: There are circumstances where limited portions of the territory of two school districts operating as part of the same unified school system become inconsistent over time through the process of district abandonment. This can happen because the law grants the authority to the county superintendent to order the attachment of the territory of an abandoned district to the territory of a contiguous district or districts. The most logical way for attaching such territory would be to attach it to districts that are part of the same school system, but that is not the way it has happened in all cases over the years.
When a county superintendent orders the attachment of the territory of an abandoned district to an elementary district of one school system and a contiguous high school district of another school system, resident students of one district lose their status as residents of the other school district that is part of the same school system. This creates financial obligations on families who wish to keep their children in the same school system from kindergarten to 12th grade. The school district of choice is then faced with either waiving tuition for all out of district students when families are paying tuition, or enforce and charge tuition to all families, including those with children who were or will be residents of either the elementary or high school district that is part of the same unified school system.
Resolution Summary: Authorize a board of trustees of a school district that is part of a unified school system to waive tuition for any student attending the school district who was or will be a resident of the district with which the other school district is unified and who does not have residency status in the school district of choice because of a previous allocation of abandoned district territory by the county superintendent under 20-6-209, MCA.
Suggest ed Solution: Expand/segment the definition of "entity" in 20-5-320, MCA, so that a school district can waive tuition for students in the circumstances described above without losing their authority to charge tuition to other students and/or districts or state, federal and tribal agencies without these unique circumstances. Possible conceptual amendment as follows: 20-5-320(2)(c) (ii) As used in this subsection (2)(c), "entity" means a parent or guardian or the trustees of the district of residence. the different types of "entities" include:
17 59 (A) A parent or guardian of a student who is a nonresident of an elementary district of choice; (B) A parent or guardian of a student who is a nonresident of a high school district of choice and who was not a resident of the elementary district with which the high school district of choice is unified pursuant to 20-6-312, M CA: (C) A parent or guardian of a student who is a nonresident of a high school district of choice and who was a resident of the elementary district with which the high school district of choice is unified pursuant to 20-6-312, MCA; (D) The trustees of the district of residence; and (E) Any state, federal or tribal agency responsible for tuition under the law.
Specific sections of law anticipated to be changed: 20-5-320 MCA
How is the resolution anticipated to advance the interests of all of Montana’s public schools, and/or public school students and/or increase student opportunity and success? It will benefit students to attend a free K-12 education with their peers and honor our constitutional obligation under Article X, Section 1(3) to provide a basic system of free quality public elementary and secondary schools. Families should not have to switch school districts to provide their child(ren) with a guaranteed free K-12 public education.
What are the anticipated sources of external opposition (groups outside of MTSBA)? Unsure
What are the anticipated sources of internal opposition or division within MTSBA and what steps have been taken, if any, to mitigate/minimize or resolve such division? Unsure. Both districts are collaborating to ensure both districts are not negatively impacted by proposal.
What is the projected statewide impact on Montana’s public schools of the proposed resolution? Not sure how many districts this may impact, but there appears to be a limited number of noncontiguous joint school districts that may be affected by this proposal.

What is the projected statewide impact on Montana’s public schools of the proposed resolution? Attempt to avoid a possible tragedy.
Please provide any additional background, explanation or other context for the resolution that you would like to be considered during the deliberations of the Delegate Assembly: Similar to HB 492 last session. A NASDPTS 2019 study estimated that there are 100,000 illegal passes of school buses per day nationwide. At one point during the 2018-19 school year, five children were killed in a three day period in the U.S. We need to be proactive to avoid this type of tragedy in Montana. At least 15 other states, many of them rural, have similar laws on the books to protect their children. This proposed change to the law allows districts the option to implement stop arm camera technology; it does not require it. Local trustees will make that decision as well as the determination as to where the funding for the equipment will come from.
19 61 Resolution – ALLOWING THE USE OF VIDEO EVIDENCE TO ENFORCE SCHOOL BUS STOP ARM VIOLATIONS
WHEREAS, Montana law requires drivers overtaking a school bus from either direction to stop while the school bus is operating visual flashing red signals as specified in 61-9- 402 and the driver may not proceed until the children have entered the school bus or have alighted and reached the side of the highway or street and until the school bus ceases operation of its visual flashing red signal; and
WHEREAS, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) notes stop arm laws are particularly challenging to enforce because violations occur randomly, as opposed to at certain times or locations, and typically must be witnessed by a law enforcement officer in order for a ticket to be issued; and
WHEREAS, Montana school buses travel millions of miles per year on roads, highways, and streets not heavily monitored by law enforcement at all times; and
WHEREAS, Montana schools leverage technology in many ways to ensure our students safety while they are in the schools’ care; and
BE IT RESOLVED, that MTSBA will support legislative action authorizing the use of stop arm camera technology to substantiate the reporting of stop arm violations. The implementation of such technology will remain at the discretion of local trustees, not mandatory, and the cost of implementation can come from any applicable fund allowed by law including but not limited to Transportation, Bus Depreciation, and/or School Safety monies.

Please provide any additional background, explanation or other context for the resolution that you would like to be considered during the deliberations of the Delegate Assembly. Similar to HB 218 last session. There has been good support for this concept during the past couple of legislative sessions, unfortunately other priorities were funded instead. It is widely recognized that the foundation for high school programs should be established in middle school. As we add funding at the high school level, it creates a larger gap between those programs and Montana’s middle schools where there is no funding. Establishing a funding mechanism for middle school CTE programs provides a pathway that can be used to insure districts have at least minimal resources designated to insure programs exist at the middle school level.
Resolution – ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR CAREER AND VOCATIONAL/TECHNICAL EDUCATION
21 63 Lockwood School District
WHEREAS, funding for Career and Vocational/Technical Education (CTE) in Montana is well below the funding levels for programs in neighboring and other western states; and
WHEREAS, state funding for career and technical education is distributed using the Carl Perkins formula, these funds are earmarked for high school programs only and no mechanism is currently available in law to fund middle school programs; and
WHEREAS, career and technical education prepares students for a wide range of careers and post-secondary education programs; and
WHEREAS, career and technical education courses provide students with life and employment skills to make them highly desirable employees in today's modern workforce; and
WHEREAS, the majority of jobs in the U.S. labor market now require more than a high school diploma but less than a four-year degree; and
WHEREAS, career and technical education directly benefits not only our students, but also employers and local economies; and
WHEREAS, enrollment in career and technical education courses has been identified as a path that increases student engagement and high school graduation rates; and
WHEREAS, it is widely recognized that the foundation for these high school programs should be established in middle school; and
WHEREAS, as funding increases at the high school level it creates a larger gap between those programs and middle school options; and
WHEREAS, establishing an ongoing funding mechanism for middle school career and technical education makes minimal resources available for middle school level career and technical education offerings; and
BE IT RESOLVED, that MTSBA will primarily support legislative action targeting additional funding for high school CTE programs including inflationary increases; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that MTSBA will support legislative action to create a funding mechanism to provide career and technical education opportunities for students in accredited middle schools that supplements but does not supplant high school funding.

Urges the legislature to fund a pilot project for a proficiency-based instructional period of six weeks during the traditional summer break to meet proficiency, not to acquire additional credit.
Proposed MTSBA Resolution Extended Academic Support Programs
Whereas, the Constitution of the State of Montana, Article X, Section 1, guarantees the people a “quality public elementary and secondary” education;
Whereas, it has been demonstrated that students who start from a lower academic foundation will lose academic ground over the extended summer break each year;
Whereas, students who do not demonstrate proficiency with established benchmarks need additional class time to meet standards; therefore, now, be it
Resolved, that the Montana School Boards Association (MTSBA): 1. Urges the legislature to fund a pilot project for a proficiency-based instructional period of six weeks during the traditional summer break to meet proficiency, not to acquire additional credit. 2.

Please provide any additional background, explanation or other context for the resolution that you would like to be considered during the deliberations of the Delegate Assembly. Recommends that the Legislature adequately fund the Office of Public Instruction to provide districts with ability, if they so choose, to support the concept of Trauma-Informed schools, to include professional development; trauma-informed programs, supports and services; positive approaches to discipline that address underlying causes of behavior, including trauma; and a planning process to help all students feel safe and connected to the school community and promote a school-wide culture of acceptance.
Proposed MTSBA Resolution regarding Trauma-Informed Classrooms
Whereas, the prevalence of students in Montana who arrive at school with symptoms of trauma has increased significantly in the last five years;
Whereas, symptoms of trauma can negatively impact learning, for both those who have suffered trauma and those students who share a classroom with traumatized individuals;
26 68 Whereas, according to the National Child Traumatic Stress Network, the earliest years of a child’s life affect their ability to learn, form healthy relationships, regulate their emotions, and achieve success for the rest of their lives;
Whereas, whether due to abuse, neglect, toxic stress, or other forms of adversity, trauma can have a tremendous impact on emotional development, physical and mental health, and educational outcome;
Whereas, educators deserve professional training and resources that can better support the work they do every day; therefore, now, be it
Resolved, that the Montana School Boards Association (MTSBA): 1. Recommends that the Legislature adequately fund the Office of Public Instruction to provide districts with ability, if the so choose, to support the concept of Trauma- Informed schools, to include professional development; trauma- informed programs, supports and services; positive approaches to discipline that address underlying causes of behavior, including trauma; and a planning process to help all students feel safe and connected to the school community and promote a school-wide culture of acceptance.

How is the resolution anticipated to advance the interests of all of Montana’s public schools, and/or public school students and/or increase student opportunity and success? Facilitate the licensure of dual enrollment faculty
What are the anticipated sources of external opposition (groups outside of MTSBA)? Individuals who oppose increased spending on public education
What are the anticipated sources of internal opposition or division within MTSBA and what steps have been taken, if any, to mitigate/minimize or resolve such division? None
What is the projected statewide impact on Montana’s public schools of the proposed resolution? $100,000 per year for a period of 4 years to fund the University Reimbursement Fund
Please provide any additional background, explanation or other context for the resolution that you would like to be considered during the deliberations of the Delegate Assembly. Urges the legislature create a University Reimbursement Fund at the Office of Public Instruction to cover the cost of required credits for high school teachers who currently hold a Master’s degree to attain dual enrollment licensure in a particular subject area, if their district superintendent concurs that it is an area of need.
Proposed MTSBA Resolution to Facilitate the Licensure of Dual Enrollment Faculty Whereas, the practice of dual enrollment in the State of Montana, where students in a secondary classroom can earn credits in the Montana University System, is expanding due to greater demand by students and their families;
Whereas, the access to dual enrollment courses is not equitably distributed across or within school districts;
Whereas, high school teachers with a Master’s degree are eligible to teach dual enrollment courses outside their area of specialization only if they complete nine (9) units of University level credit in the desired dual enrollment subject area;
28 70 Whereas, the monetary cost of enrolling for the additional nine units is the main barrier cited by teachers that prevent them from attaining the licensure to offer dual enrollment courses;
Whereas, the Montana University System is facing declining enrollment;
Whereas, a recent University of Texas study confirms that dual enrollment makes students better prepared for college, more likely to enroll and more likely to graduate; and,
Whereas, a highly educated workforce is a primary catalyst for economic growth; therefore, now, be it
Resolved, that the Montana School Boards Association (MTSBA):
Urges the legislature create a University Reimbursement Fund at the Office of Public Instruction to cover the cost of required credits for high school teachers who currently hold a Master’s degree to attain dual enrollment licensure in a particular subject area, if their district superintendent concurs that it is an area of need.
The University Reimbursement Fund shall be funded at One Hundred Thousand US Dollars ($100,000.00) per year for a period of four years.
Goal Area 1 Recommendation and Designation:
29 71 Billings Public Schools Resolution No. 4 Six Week Summer Pilot Program for Kindergarten Readiness Submitted September 17, 2019
Resolution Overview: Create a six week Kinder-Ready pilot program, where incoming kindergarten students learn how to positively participate in a structured classroom setting.
Specific sections of law anticipated to be changed: Multiple areas (TBD)
How is the resolution anticipated to advance the interests of all of Montana’s public schools, and/or public school students and/or increase student opportunity and success? All districts could benefit from a Kinder-Ready pilot program
What are the anticipated sources of external opposition (groups outside of MTSBA)? Individuals who oppose increased spending on public education
What are the anticipated sources of internal opposition or division within MTSBA and what steps have been taken, if any, to mitigate/minimize or resolve such division? None
What is the projected statewide impact on Montana’s public schools of the proposed resolution? Funding will be needed to allow for a 6 week pilot program
Please provide any additional background, explanation or other context for the resolution that you would like to be considered during the deliberations of the Delegate Assembly. The pilot program will be funded at an equivalent to 20% of ANB further reduced by prorating down to a six week program.
Proposed MTSBA Resolution to Create a Kinder-Ready Pilot Program
Whereas, the Constitution of the State of Montana, Article X, Section 1, guarantees the people a “quality public elementary and secondary” education;
Whereas, the success of incoming kindergartners depends upon their individual social and emotional readiness;
Whereas, there are a greater number of incoming kindergartners who are not ready to participate and learn in a classroom setting;
Whereas, a similar program that was implemented in the Billing School District demonstrated significant gains in student achievement in kindergarten, positioning these students for success in their academic careers; therefore, now, be it
30 72 Resolved, that the Montana School Boards Association (MTSBA):
1. Urges the legislature to create and fund a two-year pilot program, consisting of six week Kinder-Readiness program for selected districts, where incoming kindergarten students learn how to positively participate in a structured classroom setting. 2. The pilot program will be funded at an equivalent to 20% of ANB, pro-rated for the six week period.
Goal Area 1 Recommendation and Designation: Notes from Goal Area 1 Committee: • The 20% of ANB further prorated down to a six week program would amount to $183 per ANB.

Montana’s Public Schools Mega-trend Analysis Current Through February 2019
In order to make progress toward our Envisioned Future, we must constantly anticipate the strategic factors likely to affect our ability to succeed and assess the implications of those factors. This process of building foresight about the future will help Montana’s Public Schools innovate and adapt to succeed in the face of barriers to our success. Periodic review and update of these factors will help ensure the ongoing relevance of our Vision for the future and our efforts to achieve it.
Contemporary Relevance of this Document – This document reflects a combination of thinking from different MTSBA member groups over the last year. This document was last reviewed and adjusted by each of the following groups, based on contemporary factors deemed relevant by such groups during meetings that took place during the timeframes noted below: 1. The MTSBA Board of Directors during its strategic planning session in March 2019; 2. The participants at MTSBA’s Summer Leadership in June 2019. 3. MTSBA’s K-12 Vision Group in August 2019; and 4. MTSBA’s Membership during its annual meeting in October 2018.
Assumptions: The following have been collectively identified as the most (but not all) critical trends, challenges, or issues facing Montana’s Public Schools at this time that could affect our ability to achieve our Envisioned Future.
Envisioned Future: Montana Public Schools personalize learning for each student, custom designing the learning process to identify and expand each student’s engagement, interest, opportunity and potential to learn, grow and succeed in life.
Key Barriers to our Intended Success in Achieving our Envisioned Future: Top Critical Issues Identified by MTSBA Members: 1. Meeting the needs of students with disabilities. 2. Meeting the needs of students living in poverty. 3. Recruitment and retention of quality educators. 4. Challenges associated with school facilities (designing and building to enhance learning, safety; maintaining to preserve value over time).
32 74 5. Meeting the challenge of personalizing learning for each child. 6. The negative impact of centralized (state and federal) regulation of public schools. MTSBA members have identified the following factors that we believe could challenge our ability to attain our Envisioned Future and overcome the identified Critical Issues.
Demographic Challenges 1. We anticipate the trend of a disproportionate aging of Montana’s population (compared to national trends) will continue. Implications for Montana’s Public Schools: A reduction of administration, trustees, staff to replace retiring/departing leaders; a generational shift on the level of commitment of staff, students and community leaders; impact on the passage of levies and bond as a result of an increase in families without children in our public schools; the need to support members when constituents are looking at schools differently and from disconnected points of view. 2. We anticipate the trend of population expansion of urban areas to continue with a corresponding trend of depopulation in rural areas. Montana has a total of 56 counties. Forty-six of these counties have 6 or fewer people per square mile, so they are designated as "frontier counties." Implications for Montana’s Public Schools: A need to maximize existing facilities and a need for new construction in those urban areas experiencing ongoing and significant population growth. In rural areas facing decreases in population and student counts, a need for repurposing/redesigning facilities to preserve the value of existing facilities and to right-size for the declining populations served. This trend implicates a need for increased quality and quantity of distance learning options to ensure equality of educational opportunity for each child throughout Montana. This trend also implicates the challenge in continuing to find common ground and engaging the membership with a united voice. 3. We anticipate an increase in both the identification of and required services for students with special needs, including those students with social and emotional challenges. Implications for Montana’s Public Schools: Montana’s Public Schools will need to recruit and retain quality staff to meet the needs of these students. Given Montana’s Public Schools’ new authority to levy amounts on a nonvoted basis to pay for the needs of students with disabilities in combination with the lack of political will to adequately support special education from state and federal sources (which currently funds only 15% of such costs), there will likely be an increased cost of serving students with disabilities to property taxpayers. Montana’s Public Schools will need to adapt and update school facilities to meet the ongoing needs of students with special needs. Effective communications with parents and communities is vital to ensure understanding and support for the necessary resources to serve each child well. 4. We anticipate the trend of increasing numbers of families in need with school-age children, including families of teaching staff, that negatively impact our youth will continue.
33 75 Implications for Montana’s Public Schools: Montana’s Public Schools will need to identify and ensure adequate services for at-risk students to ensure equality of educational opportunity for each child throughout Montana. 5. We anticipate a continued trend of increased illegal prescription drug, illegal drugs, alcohol, vaping and nicotine abuse with school-age children and their parents among other risk factors that negatively impact our youth. Implications for Montana’s Public Schools: Montana’s Public Schools will need to provide education to the staff and parents of the new methods used, the dangers of use and identify available resources.
Business / Economic Climate Challenges 1. We anticipate continued business growth in our urban areas and continued economic challenges for rural areas, particularly those areas where agriculture is the primary economic force. Implications for Montana’s Public Schools: Some of Montana’s Public Schools will experience an increase in tax base with an increase in business and economic development while others will experience no increase and/or decreases in tax base due to a diminution of businesses and economic growth. This will result in enhanced local support for some and significant challenges for those experiencing a shrinking tax base. 2. We anticipate continued volatility of our natural resource-based economy that will continue to create budget difficulties at the state level. We anticipate the cost of living and housing will increase the financial burdens of teachers. Implications for Montana’s Public Schools: Continued volatility in natural resource-based funding will continue to create uncertainty and instability in funding for Montana’s public schools with particular emphasis on schools located in impact zones. 3. We anticipate ever-changing and increased competition in the global economy with an increased reliance on skilled labor. In turn, we anticipate an increase in number of students interested in seeking skilled labor positions. Implications for Montana’s Public Schools: Montana’s Public Schools will need to ensure that they we are educating students with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in an ever-changing world. 4. We anticipate an increase in the number of students who speak English as a second language. Implications for Montana’s Public Schools: Our schools will need the resources to provide these services in compliance with legal requirements. 5. We anticipate an increased reliance on grandparents, other relatives and non- related adults assuming educational authority for students. Implications for Montana’s Public Schools: Our schools will need to coordinate with legal guardians, caretaker relatives and others who have power of attorney to make educational decisions for children. This will result in a need for enhanced resources for student-support services.
Legislation / Regulation Challenges
34 76 1. We anticipate continued uncertainty in the funding of public schools due to the current political climate and changing economic circumstances. a. Trinity Lutheran (U.S. Supreme Court) fallout and potential negative effect on constitutional prohibitions on indirect aid to private education. We are facing a likely future where the prohibition on indirect aid to parochial education in Montana is eliminated by the U.S. Supreme Court. b. The shift toward/increased reliance on local level funding because of the lack of federal (e.g., Impact Aid and IDEA) and state resources. c. Renewed resistance at the bureaucratic and other levels of the federal and state departments of education to community ownership and local control of public schools. Implications for Montana’s Public Schools: Montana’s Public Schools will need to maximize the resources and the flexibilities that are available to them. They will need to make concerted ongoing efforts to engage the communities in planning for and supporting the future needs of students and the communities served. They will further need to protect the legislative gains we have made and hold firm in order to prevent the diminution of the funding formula. 2. We anticipate continued increases in employee healthcare costs. Implications for Montana’s Public Schools: Continued increases in healthcare costs will stress all other areas of school finance. It will also impact Montana’s Public Schools ability to recruit and retain quality staff if we are unable to offer competitive benefits. 3. We anticipate an increased desire by students to access advanced opportunities. Implications for Montana’s Public Schools: We will need to ensure access to these opportunities by all students and not those students who have easy access because of geographic proximity to higher education institutions.
Technology / Science Challenges 1. We anticipate the ongoing trend of increased reliance on technology and sciences to continue, moving at a rapid pace that will substantially exceed the speed at which regulations can be adjusted or removed to accommodate available innovations. Implications for Montana’s Public Schools: Montana’s Public Schools will continue to have challenges keeping up with the cost of science and technological advancements (applications, licensing, hardware), technology plans, staff well- versed in science, technologies and innovations that advance student success, and ensuring equitable access to technologies and sciences that support student learning and opportunities. We also have an opportunity, however, to advance the proposition that reducing federal and state regulations and vesting increased authority in local communities could make our schools more “innovation-ready.” 2. We anticipate that security issues, taking appropriate steps to minimizing security breaches and appropriate use of technologies by staff and students will present ongoing issues for Montana’s Public Schools. Implications for Montana’s Public Schools: Montana’s Public Schools need to be hypervigilant in taking measures to ensure databases and other electronically-
35 77 stored information are secured with industry-leading technology. Montana’s Public Schools need to provide ongoing professional development of staff and instruction to students on acceptable use policies. 3. We anticipate a continued trend of future jobs and careers based in technology and science. Implications for Montana’s Public Schools: Montana’s Public Schools will need to adapt to advancements in technology and science in order to prepare students for the jobs/careers of tomorrow. We will need to continue our advocacy and support for student advancements and flexibilities that support personalized learning to prepare students for future jobs/careers in these areas. 4. We anticipate a continued trend of cyber-bulling and other social media conflicts from the ever-evolving platforms which negatively impacts the learning environments of Montana Public Schools. Implications for Montana’s Public Schools: Montana’s Public Schools need to be hyper vigilant, in both proactive and responsive manners, to the social media issues and threats that have potential to negatively impact our students. Montana’s Public Schools need to continue to develop and implement acceptable social media policies and usages in all contexts.
Politics / Social Values Challenges 1. We anticipate the ongoing trend of public engagement in the work of public schools to continue. We also anticipate increased criticism of public school delivery methods. Implications for Montana’s Public Schools: There is growing support for alternative delivery methods and privatization of education. If this trend continues, there will be a loss of state and/or federal public funding that will be redirected to private education. This will impact the quality of education students receive and the financial burden on local taxpayers. School districts must deliver high quality instruction and effectively increase public awareness of the outstanding things that are happening in their public schools. 2. We anticipate a continuing trend of a political and philosophical shift toward the rejection and distrust of government at all levels. We anticipate a greater need for transparency to counter distrust. Implications for Montana’s Public Schools: Montana’s Public Schools will need to restore and maintain high levels of trust by visibly engaging communities in working together to fully develop the educational potential of each child. We will need to continue to promote the GREAT things that are happening in our public schools, highlighting innovations and other changes that support the needs of and increase the success of children in our public schools. 3. We anticipate a continued societal expectation and emphasis on post-secondary education. However, we also anticipate an increase in tuition costs and continued limited access to local communities for post-secondary options. Implications for Montana’s Public Schools: Montana’s Public Schools will need to increase available options for students to be prepared for all possible post-high school options, including but not limited to, dual credit, CTE opportunities, immediate careers, 2-year college, 4-year college or armed services. We have
36 78 great opportunities to use K-12 resources to increase the affordability of entering the workforce, access to apprenticeship programs, and post-secondary education, through expanded access to advanced placement and dual credit courses that can be used to satisfy or waive post-secondary credit that would otherwise require the payment of tuition. 4. We anticipate that the trend of enhanced student activism on issues relating to safety and social justice will continue. Implications for Montana’s Public Schools: Montana’s Public Schools will need to continue balancing students’ rights while maintaining safe school environments, minimizing the disruption to school operations and violations of district policy and protocol.

39 81 Narrative Comments Provided by Participants: Graphical Depiction of Frequently-Occurring Terms:
Comments of Survey Participants: • We live in a community that has many retired people, so they really don't get involved or support school. School tries to do things to win them over, but in the end our bonds are defeated and that's money school has spent that could be used somewhere else. Contractors also seem to charge more when we can get hem to come out, they are looking for the big jobs. Thank you :) • The amount of hoops we need to jump through with regard to compliance issues is onerous. The district needs to do more with less...which means only one administrator for three buildings and 130 students. When combined with the low enrollment in the secondary and the NEED for teachers who are certified in the subject area they teach, we are hemorrhaging money trying to support a secondary schedule. We really need the state to free us up to proceed with hiring teachers who are generalists in the rural schools. If the state could support that with programs (such as https://www.acellus.com/), it would make life much less stressful and would actually improve education by removing the need to simply put a certified "body" in the classroom. We could increase class sizes (from 2 students to 12), reduce staff, and increase offerings. • We need a new a building. • Montana is in dire need of help with recruiting teachers. We have 10 new staff members in our school (out of 34 total teachers). Hiring "highly qualified" teachers when competing against other states that have much higher salaries is difficult. It will only get worse as the yearly retirements continue to rise. • The number of qualified applicants for open teaching positions is getting smaller every year. This past year, we advertised for a full-time Health Enhancement/PE teacher and received three applicants. Another struggle for school districts is the lack of applicants for bus driving positions. For the past 5 weeks, we've advertised in our local newspaper for a school bus route driver position, which pays in excess of $22/hr. We've had zero inquiries to that advertisement. • We are not going to be able to grow and provide the quality instruction and care that we are accustomed to until the teacher shortage is fixed. 1. Revamping Special Education funding 2. Public only Pre-K 3. Adequate summer school academics for all level of students (from low to high) • Mental Health, trauma • It was hard to rank these. Tomorrow I might change the order. Or, depending on the day, the importance would change. I would say 1-10 are extremely high on our priority list here in Fairfield. 40 82 • Right now, updating our facilities is our #1 priority. 2nd would be insufficient state funding to keep up with annual funding increases like steps and lanes, etc. • I answered this based on what we have at our school- for example, while we don't need any major improvements to our facility at this time, to me having a school building in great condition is an importance. Who would want to come to school, or who would feel safe to learn at school if the building is crumbling. • For the record keeping, I know it needs to be completed, but it's not the highest priority for me. Actually serving the children is the highest in my opinion. • My top 5 issues in this survey are nearly equal in significance to our district. The shortage of qualified teachers and counselors in conjunction with our high poverty rate makes it difficult to ensure the best education possible for our students. • The lack of auxiliary mental health services in our area is also of concern to our district. • 1. In my opinion there needs to be a plan in place in all schools to address the needs of children with behavior problems so these students do not interfere with the academic progress of the students in the regular classroom. 2. There also needs to be a specific timeline setup so schools have an improvement plan in place to address the changes in reading education with the passing of the new dyslexia law. The majority of elementary teachers do not have the education as to how to address this reading weakness, If the training takes place for early elementary educators, there are still 12 years of students in the education system who have not had their reading needs addressed correctly. • Montana is the most rural state. Finding teachers for these schools has become critical. We (remote rural) need even more leeway with emergency hires. We still have an opening in FCS we have been advertising since January. Something needs to be done further to entice teachers to try a rural school. There is a lot to offer in many small towns. Loan repayment only for REMOTE rural schools (Billings is NOT a rural school).Also - perhaps a statewide minimum salary schedule - we can't compete with the larger schools in teacher pay - MT is dead last for beginning teachers. • Another area where rural schools need help is with students with high behavior needs. When the group home in Billings just shuts down and returns these dangerous students back to small towns without programs to support these students, we can't fully service these students and it puts our student community safety at risk. HELP! • Within the next 5 years, we will have 6 staff members eligible to retire. For a small school, this is significant. Recruiting and subsequently retaining teachers and administrators will be significant. We are currently exploring housing options in order to be prepared for these retirements. • Teachers signing contracts and then breaking them before the school year begins is a problem. Teachers sign an initial contract to ensure themselves of a job, then shop around for a better one. It would be nice if the state came up with an enforceable consequence for this type of behavior. • Legislation must be adopted strengthening the law regarding guns coming around or on school campuses, especially in Montana where open/concealed carry is so prevalent. Being a school administrator who has dealt with firearms coming to school firsthand, the onus on school staff and administration is absurdly high to keep students and staff safe when the current Montana code misidentifies a
41 83 school campus/property as only a "school building." Accordingly, there is no spacial determination/boundary in code defining where a gun can be taken in relation to school boundaries, (i.e., 1000 feet). There should be no distinction between the laws that govern safety protocols found in airports or federal buildings and those found in public schools anywhere in America. Lack of political will is the only reason this has been allowed to continue. • CPS has hired 15 new teachers for SY20 and 4 new administrators and we are fortunate to have finished certified hiring (hopefully) for the year. We are still looking for a few classified positions, including bus drivers. There will be new principals in each of our buildings this year. We are impacted in our search for qualified staff by the uncertainty of the community's future economic stability. • Cost savings to taxpayers. • The listing in order of importance kept returning to a 1,2,3 order so is not accurate. • We need to fund education. Period stop taking from education to fund your buddies pet project. Our kids are suffering • Funding for small schools seems inadequate compared to larger schools. A school in GT Falls is able to fund a coffee shop for students while small schools have trouble paying wages comparable to larger schools to keep teachers in our community. • The teacher shortage crisis is more real than our legislators appear to realize. I am afraid it is already too late to avoid major hardships. It will take years for our teacher supply to rebound. It will go down further before it comes back. Inaction will destroy the rural school first. Politicians need to listen to superintendents and human resource departments. Look into the supply and demand. See if for yourself. Compare us with the states around us. Observe where our teachers are going and why. As blunt as this next statement is, it is true. I could not advise a young person with no real ties to Montana to put their future here as a teacher. They need to do what is best for them. And, that is sad. • I would just say that we struggle with high numbers in special education and mental health needs. • We must recognize the teacher shortage in rural Eastern Montana and consider small school closures to allow for teachers to fill the available positions. • The ranking system, above, doesn't fully reveal the inter-relatedness of the issues. For example, the more general fund dollars that are directed toward inadequately funded special education needs, the less we have to hire regular paraprofessionals to help personalize learning in the regular classroom. The stresses on our general fund budget prevent fully funding staff health care, for example, or providing effective, regular professional development, which in turn affects recruitment and retention of quality staff. And the private school/homeschool question becomes a factor if families who choose that option are allowed to divert tax dollars away from public school funding. It's difficult to show how inter-related and symbiotic our individual issues are when presented in list form! • State funding of public education is still not enough! Legislators must be convinced to make a bigger investment in preparing students for work in Montana and the world. • None of the rest of them matter if we can't get teachers. 42 84 • While I do have concerns on a local level about the recruitment and retention of qualified staff, I do feel fortunate that I have still been able to hire exceptional staff. I understand that this is more a condition of the geographic area in which I work. That being said, in the past few years, I have seen the volume of the candidate pool shrink exponentially and can see a day when my District will be impacted in a similar way as others In monitoring the OPI teacher vacancy portal, I have never seen a.) so many positions advertised in a given year and b.) so many positions unfilled late into July. I am concerned about how this will play out the next 2-5 years. • I'm not clear on what's being asked in regards to, "Record keeping/Data reporting obligations". I believe there's a negative impact on schools caused by the excessive amount of data reporting. • I do not defend or support the current governors push for public pre-school. • Though our numbers are low (55 K-12), I believe that low enrollment is not our biggest issue nor a factor to our school remaining open, but getting quality teachers is monumental. • There seems to be too much emphasis placed on technology and not enough on quality teachers. It seems to me that more and more the computer is teaching the child and not the teacher. • The duplication of information requests by the state/federal government has put a great strain on our already hard working staff to complete these in a timely manner. Much is duplicated: TOES and Compensated Expenditure Report, Civil Rights Data Collection and the State Disciplinary Reports, FRAM Free/Reduced and OPI School Nutrition Reports, just to name a few. • Thanks for getting this input from the field. • As a rural school and fairly isolated, teacher longevity seems to be a recurring problem and I think this is due to the remoteness, especially during the winter months of school curriculum. • Some of these issues are interrelated rather than discrete. Poverty, trauma, economic insecurity are all intertwined. • Losing taxable value because of business moving out of the area. • One of the biggest issues we face is recruiting and retaining bus drivers. This issue is going to have a detrimental impact on more and more districts in the state and across the nation. More regulations and higher certifications are going to make the problem even more difficult to deal with. Schools need an organization to address this issue and help recruit drivers. • Recruitment of teachers is a growing concern. We have fewer and fewer applications for teaching positions. I am not sure our Board of Public Education, OPI, and others really understand the gravity of this situation. Some of the antiquated rules force us to spend funds for positions we do not need, and we are penalized for positions we cannot fill.
43 85 PRINCIPLES AND GUIDELINES (as amended at the MTSBA 2018 Annual Meeting)
The purpose of this document is two-fold. First, it is intended to provide a framework of governance for school districts throughout Montana. You, as school board trustees, can review these principles and guidelines and use them as a starting point for conducting business that fully develops the educational potential of each child in your district. Secondly, this document identifies key advocacy issues that MTSBA will pursue on behalf of trustees, school districts, and each student in Montana in the pursuit of educational excellence.
Principle I
School boards should align their efforts and activities with the goal of fully developing the educational potential of all the state’s citizens.
Relevant Guidelines for School Boards: School boards should: 1. Practice Excellence in Governance. MTSBA recommends consideration of the Eight Characteristics of Effective School Boards, which is included as Appendix A of this document. Briefly summarized: a. Set high expectations for student achievement and quality instruction and set clear goals toward that end. b. Develop strong, shared beliefs and values about what is possible for students to learn and achieve. c. Focus on accountability through policy, not through micro-management. d. Collaborate, communicate, and engage freely with staff and community members to set and achieve district goals. e. Understand data and use it to drive improvement. f. Promote professional development of administrators and staff even in the midst of financial challenges. g. Ensure that the board and superintendent share the same vision of excellence and achievement. h. Make individual and whole-board training a priority to build shared knowledge, values, and commitment toward excellence in education. 2. School boards should remain focused on the interests of children, including student achievement, in carrying out their statutory obligation to collectively bargain in good faith with their public employees in compliance with 39-31-305, MCA. Maintaining a focus on the interests of students will help ensure that limited resources are used in the most effective and efficient manner possible in pursuing the full development of each student’s educational potential. 3. Employ staff who are highly qualified and engaging.
44 86 4. Embrace the concept of differentiated learning for all students. Meet each child on his or her own terms to ensure student success. 5. Create a safe environment for all that is conducive to learning, free from bullying, harassment, and intimidation. 6. Encourage and welcome parental and family involvement to help understand each child’s needs. 7. Advocate in every possible manner the need for adequate school funding.
Relevant Guidelines for MTSBA Activities: MTSBA must: 1. Advocate for adequate, rational funding for schools, sufficient to allow school districts to meaningfully comply with and provide an education worthy of the definition of the basic system of free quality schools in 20-9-309, MCA.
Principle II
School boards should recognize the shared authority for education between the community, locally elected school boards, the Montana Board of Public Education, and the Legislature.
Relevant Guidelines for School Boards: School boards should: 1. Strongly encourage the preservation of locally-made decisions within the community, rather than a “one-size-fits-all” approach from the state or federal government. 2. Conscientiously use local, state, and federal resources to successfully educate students. 3. Engage, educate, and enlist the support of community members regarding the public schools’ charge of fully developing the educational potential of each child.
Relevant Guidelines for MTSBA Activities: MTSBA must: 1. Advocate for preservation of decision-making at the local, community level. 2. Support and advocate for proper exercise of the Board of Public Education’s and the Legislature’s respective authority. The Board of Public Education is to exercise “general supervision” over the basic system of free quality schools, which should be exercised in a manner that does not intrude on the more specific and expansive authority of elected school boards to “supervise and control” education in each community. The Legislature is to define the basic system of free quality schools and fund it rationally, recognizing the Board of Public
45 87 Education’s accreditation standards as the foundation upon which the basic system of free quality schools is built. 3. Advocate for and enforce the constitutional guarantee and requirement that all publicly funded K-12 education in Montana be supervised and controlled by publicly elected school boards as required by Article X, Section 8 of the Montana Constitution.
Principle III
School boards should ensure Equal Educational Opportunity for all students.
Relevant Guidelines for School Boards: School boards should: 1. Ensure that all students have full access to the programs and resources of their school district. 2. Position every child to succeed, regardless of any special circumstances.
Relevant Guidelines for MTSBA Activities: MTSBA must: 1. Work to provide adequate and equitable funding so that local boards can provide student access to programs and services.
Principle IV
School boards should recognize and commit to the preservation of the distinct and unique cultural heritage of American Indians.
Relevant Guidelines for School Boards: School boards should: 1. Implement and maintain programs to preserve and educate regarding the cultural heritage and language of American Indian peoples and tribes. 2. Collaborate with American Indian peoples and tribes to ensure that educational programming is culturally accurate and relevant and in harmony with the corresponding efforts of tribal governments, education departments and tribal colleges.
Relevant Guidelines for MTSBA Activities: MTSBA must: 1. Work to provide adequate funding for and state-wide commitment to Indian Education for All. 2. Recognize the negative impact that concentrated poverty can have on cultural preservation and pride and advocate for legislation to address and mitigate these negative impacts, including but not limited to advocacy for resources to address poverty, such as impact aid legislation
46 88 Principle V
School boards should preserve the separation of Church and State.
Relevant Guidelines for Trustees: School boards should: 1. Ensure an appropriate balance between freedom of religion and avoidance of endorsement of a particular religion. 2. Comply with the test set forth in Lemon v. Kurtzman (1971) in addressing issues of religion in the public schools: a. The action of the district must have a secular purpose. b. The primary effect of the district’s action must neither advance nor inhibit religion; and c. The action must not excessively entangle the district in religion.
Relevant Guidelines for MTSBA Activities: MTSBA must: 1. Oppose vouchers, tuition tax credits, and other forms of proposed direct or indirect support for sectarian education that MTSBA believes violates Article X, Section 6 of the Montana Constitution. 2. Advocate for continued support of religious freedom through: a. Opt-out provisions (e.g. vaccinations and curriculum). b. Exceptions to mandated attendance in public schools for nonpublic students meeting the guidelines set forth in law (e.g., 20-5-109, MCA).
Principle VI
School boards should work to collaborate, solve challenges and resolve disagreements with other school boards locally whenever possible.
Relevant Guidelines for Trustees: School boards should: 1. Recognize the shared bond among and autonomous authority of area school boards in exercising supervision and control of their respective school districts pursuant to Article X, Section 8 of the Montana Constitution; 2. Recognize the value of outreach to and collaboration among area school boards and school districts; 3. Recognize and respect the potential for divergence in the interests of different area school boards when each are exercising supervision and control of their respective school districts; 4. Recognize the dilution of effectiveness in MTSBA’s advocacy when based on simple majorities rather than broad consensus among member school boards. 5. Ensure open lines of communication among the constitutionally empowered trustees in areas throughout the state. 6. Work to resolve differences among area school boards and school districts
89 through local solutions whenever possible. 7. Work to isolate the impact of division among school districts in a given area on overall unity and resulting effectiveness within and among state associations representing local school boards and their staff.
Relevant Guidelines for MTSBA Activities: MTSBA must: 1. Understand, respect and equitably balance the interests of its member school boards while ensuring that the voices of all its members are heard and acknowledged in MTSBA’s advocacy. 2. Maintain a focus on and reserve its resources to address issues of statewide impact and concern in its advocacy and maintain neutrality on issues of limited statewide impact that divide its members. When issues of limited statewide impact involve division among its members, MTSBA advocacy must be limited to providing information to all of its affected members on an equitable and neutral basis. 3. Identify and attempt to resolve division within the membership whenever possible through neutral facilitation of dialogue and transparent provision of information to its members
Appendix “A” To MTSBA’s Principles and Guidelines Eight characteristics of effective school boards: At a glance
What makes an effective school board – one that positively impacts student achievement? From a research perspective, it’s a complex question. It involves evaluating virtually all functions of a board, from internal governance and policy formulation to communication with teachers, building administrators, and the public.
But the research that exists is clear: boards in high-achieving districts exhibit habits and characteristics that are markedly different from boards in low-achieving districts. So what do these boards do? Here are eight characteristics:
1. Effective school boards commit to a vision of high expectations for student achievement and quality instruction and define clear goals toward that vision. Effective boards make sure these goals remain the district’s top priorities and that nothing else detracts from them. In contrast, low achieving boards “were only vaguely aware of school improvement initiatives” (Lighthouse I). “There was little evidence of a pervasive focus on school renewal at any level when it was not present at the board level,” researchers said. (Lighthouse I)
2. Effective school boards have strong shared beliefs and values about what is possible for students and their ability to learn, and of the system and its ability to teach all children at high levels. In high-achieving districts, poverty, lack of 48
90 parental involvement and other factors were described as challenges to be overcome, not as excuses. Board members expected to see improvements in student achievement quickly as a result of initiatives. In low-achieving districts, board members frequently referred to external pressures as the main reasons for lack of student success. (Lighthouse I)
3. Effective school boards are accountability driven, spending less time on operational issues and more time focused on policies to improve student achievement. In interviews with hundreds of board members and staff across districts, researchers Goodman, Fulbright, and Zimmerman found that high- performing boards focused on establishing a vision supported by policies that targeted student achievement. Poor governance was characterized by factors such as micro-management by the board.
4. Effective school boards have a collaborative relationship with staff and the community and establish a strong communications structure to inform and engage both internal and external stakeholders in setting and achieving district goals. In high-achieving districts, school board members could provide specific examples of how they connected and listened to the community, and school board members received information from many different sources, including the superintendent, curriculum director, principals and teachers. Findings and research were shared among all board members. (Lighthouse I; Waters and Marzano) By comparison, school boards in low-achieving districts were likely to cite communication and outreach barriers. Staff members from low-achieving districts often said they didn’t know the board members at all.
5. Effective school boards are data savvy: they embrace and monitor data, even when the information is negative, and use it to drive continuous improvement. The Lighthouse I study showed that board members in high-achieving districts identified specific student needs through data, and justified decisions based on that data. Board members regularly sought such data and were not shy about discussing it, even if it was negative. By comparison, board members in low- achieving districts tended to greet data with a “blaming” perspective, describing teachers, students and families as major causes for low performance. In these districts, board members frequently discussed their decisions through anecdotes and personal experiences rather than by citing data. They left it to the superintendent to interpret the data and recommend solutions.
6. Effective school boards align and sustain resources, such as professional development, to meet district goals. According to researchers LaRocque and Coleman, effective boards saw a responsibility to maintain high standards even in the midst of budget challenges. “To this end, the successful boards supported extensive professional development programs for administrators and teachers, even during times of [fiscal] restraint.” In low-achieving districts, however, board members said teachers made their own decisions on staff development based on perceived 49
91 needs in the classroom or for certification.
7. Effective school boards lead as a united team with the superintendent, each from their respective roles, with strong collaboration and mutual trust. In successful districts, boards defined an initial vision for the district and sought a superintendent who matched this vision. In contrast, in stagnant districts, boards were slow to define a vision and often recruited a superintendent with his or her own ideas and platform, leading the board and superintendent to not be in alignment. (MDRC/Council of Great City Schools)
8. Effective school boards take part in team development and training, sometimes with their superintendents, to build shared knowledge, values and commitments for their improvement efforts. High-achieving districts had formal, deliberate training for new board members. They also often gathered to discuss specific topics. Low-achieving districts had board members who said they did not learn together except when the superintendent or other staff members made presentations of data. (Lighthouse I; LFA; LaRocque and Coleman)
Though the research on school board effectiveness is in the beginning stages, the studies included in this report make it clear that school boards in high-achieving districts have attitudes, knowledge and approaches that separate them from their counterparts in lower-achieving districts. In this era of fiscal constraints and a national environment focused on accountability, boards in high-performing districts can provide an important blueprint for success. In the process, they can offer a road map for schools.

93 2017-2023 RESOLUTION Information only
School Funding Resolution Approved by the membership in December 2017
MTSBA Funding Resolution, 2017-2023 Legislative Sessions
Part I: Process:
BE IT RESOLVED that MTSBA develop and adopt a resolution that will carry forward from year to year through the 2023 Legislative Session, specifying the process to be followed and the topics to be addressed by the K-12 Vision Group.
Part II: Setting the Course Through the 2023 Legislative Session
2017 Resolution – K-12 Vision Group – Process to be Followed from 2017-2023:
2. MTSBA will continue to convene the K-12 Vision Group on an ongoing basis through the 2023 Legislative Session to provide continuing guidance and recommendations aligned with the “Vision for Public Education in Montana” developed by the K-12 Vision Group in 2012. The work of the K-12 Vision group shall be designed to culminate with consensus recommendations regarding the definition of the basic system of free quality schools that is scheduled to be reviewed by the Legislature up to and including the 2023 Legislative Session pursuant to 20-9-309, MCA. 3. The membership of the K-12 Vision Group will continue to include trustees, business managers, teachers and administrators representing all MTSBA caucus groups and shall be annually revised and/or renewed prior to November 1, to incorporate nominations from the School Administrators of Montana, Montana Rural Education Association, MEA-MFT, and Montana Association of School Business Officials. 4. MTSBA shall extend the opportunity for full collaborative partnerships in facilitating the ongoing work of the K-12 Vision Group to SAM, MREA, MASBO and MEA-MFT. 5. MTSBA shall facilitate the K-12 Vision Group’s work using knowledge-based decision making processes, emphasizing careful, deliberate and comprehensive analysis of issues, the use of open dialogue (the purpose of which is to inform) prior to deliberation (the purpose of which is to decide), pursuit of insight regarding what the involved groups’ members want, need and prefer, and consideration of the ethical implications of our choices and mitigation of disadvantage to certain aspects of the respective groups’ members that might be caused by recommendations made by the K-12 Vision Group.
52
94 6. MTSBA shall seek to collaborate with and inform legislators from both political parties as well as key representatives of the offices of the Governor, the Board of Public Education and the Superintendent of Public Instruction of the progress and ongoing work of the K-12 Vision Group to ensure open communications and the availability of legislative and executive branch perspectives regarding such work. 7. MTSBA shall start to engage other external stakeholders outside of public education circles to increase awareness of the work of the K-12 Vision Group and to identify common interests and goals and opportunities for collaboration. There should be no static identification of “outside interest” groups but rather a process for highlighting broad public awareness of the work of the K-12 Vision Group and emphasizing an open invitation for the public to weigh in on such work. This might be accomplished, for example, through a combination of public opinion polling, facilitated community dialogue, outreach to business, higher education and other community leaders and public awareness campaigns. The key will be to ensure that we generate broad public support for the recommendations of the K-12 Vision Group over time. 8. The work of the K-12 Vision Group shall be focused on the following: a. A global look at the current funding formula for schools with an eye toward determining how the formula could be simplified, made more responsive to need, equitable and adequate to allow schools throughout the state to provide the basic system of free quality schools as that term is defined in 20-9-309, MCA. Specifics to be reviewed as part of the global look at the formula shall include: ii. Whether the formula sufficiently promotes local control. If not, recommendations should be developed regarding how the formula could be improved to better vest authority in the elected trustees to make financial decisions. iii. Review of weighting adjustments in current formula and identify possible enhancements. This inquiry shall include analysis of what other states do to account for economies of scale and address needs of school systems in different circumstances. iv. Whether the current formula is sufficiently responsive to the educationally-relevant factors identified in 20-9-309, MCA, including: 1. the number of students in a district; 2. the needs of isolated schools with low population density; 3. the needs of urban schools with high population density; 4. the needs of students with special needs, such as a child with a disability, an at-risk student, a student with limited English proficiency, a child who is qualified for services under 29 U.S.C. 794, and gifted and talented children; 5. the needs of American Indian students; and 6. the ability of school districts to attract and retain qualified educators and other personnel. v. Recommendations regarding how the varying challenges experienced by different school districts throughout the state of 53
95 Montana can be met to ensure that the needs of every child can be met. vi. Whether there is a practical way to better predict and incorporate relevant inflation into the formula that is based on the predominant expenditures of school districts. b. As part of its work in identifying a simple, adequate, equitable and rational funding formula, the K-12 Vision Group shall undertake the following: i. An updated review of the differential that exists between current funding and funding necessary to meet the definition of the basic system of free quality schools under 20-9-309, MCA. ii. Revenue necessary to eliminate the differential; iii. A long-range plan to eliminate the differential; and iv. A communications plan to create the political will to accomplish the elimination of the differential.

2320 INSTRUCTION
Field Trips, Excursions, and Outdoor Education
The Board recognizes that field trips, when used as a device for teaching and learning integral to the curriculum, are an educationally sound and important ingredient in the instructional program of the schools. Such trips can supplement and enrich classroom procedures by providing learning experiences in an environment beyond the classroom. The Board also recognizes that field trips may result in lost learning opportunities in missed classes. Therefore, the Board endorses the use of field trips, when educational objectives achieved by the trip outweigh any lost in-class learning opportunities.
Field trips of a distance exceeding 400 miles (one way) are to be approved by the superintendent/designee at least 60 days in advance. Students earning the right to travel for competitions with less than 60 days notice will receive special consideration. Travel outside of the country must be approved by the Superintendent/designee and the Board of Trustees at least six months in advance; however, the Superintendent/designee and the Board of Trustees may approve travel outside of the county with less than six months notice in extraordinary circumstances. Building principals may approve all other field trips.
Building principals will develop procedures with respect to field trips, excursions, and outdoor education.
Staff members may not solicit students during instructional time for any privately arranged field trip or excursion without Board permission.
The presence of a person with a currently valid first aid certificate is required during school- sponsored activities, including field trips, athletic, and other off-campus events.
