Lewis-Palmer D38 Parent and Community Advisory Committee, Sept. 10 – Committee discusses strategic plan, assessment results, bylaws change

By Harriet Halbig

The first meeting of the Parent and Community Advisory Committee (PCAC) was held at the district learning center on Sept. 10. Presenters included the Assessment and Accountability coordinator, the district’s assistant superintendent, and new Superintendent Dr. Stacie Datteri.

Welcome and goal statement

Co-Chair Kirsten Zook welcomed committee members to the new school year and said the group would continue to stress its responsibility as an advisory committee by engaging all members to communicate on specific topics. She said she appreciates the scope of membership, which includes parents, teachers, staff, and community members, and said that training on the state’s School Finance Act and the district budget would be provided. She also thanked members from Monument Academy for their participation.

At future meetings, members would be encouraged to interact with members from other schools, and there will be reports from a variety of subcommittees each month. These groups had yet to have their first meeting of the school year.

Superintendent Forum

Superintendent Datteri introduced herself to the committee and thanked the members for their participation. She stressed that she welcomed two-way communication with district residents. She has attended a number of other committees since the beginning of the year.

Datteri said that one of the things that attracted her to the district was the fact that it had a strategic plan in place that was created recently and encouraged a three-year action format.

In this context, she wants to know whether residents feel that the district is doing the right things to apply the plan.

She enumerated the six parts of the plan:

  • Safe and healthy schools to ensure that students feel safe to learn and grow. Staff feels confident and equipped, and there is a culture to support students and staff.
  • Academic excellence to provide an exceptional education with a focus on achievement and growth through instruction, intervention, and enrichment opportunities.
  • Valuing our people by displaying care and respect for all, acknowledging and appreciating efforts of district staff.
  • Operations and facilities planning to provide clean, safe, and functional facilities with attention to infrastructure and physical assets which are well designed, and access to healthy meals and reliable transportation.
  • Fiscal stewardship to provide responsible management and oversight of resources through transparent financial practices with attention to legal and regulatory
  • requirements and taking care to identify and mitigate financial risks
  • Relationships and communication through building and maintaining beneficial relationships and creating an environment for clear and open two-way communication.

Datteri then distributed file cards to all members and assigned aspects of the strategic plan to each table for discussion for a few minutes. Each table then reported back on its discussions.

Board of Education update

Board President and liaison Tiffiney Upchurch introduced Dr. Patti Shank, the board member who will represent the board at future PCAC meetings.

The primary subject of Upchurch’s report was HB24-1001, which addresses property taxes in an effort to avoid rapid annual increases in real estate tax. The bill creates systems for use by school districts and other local government entities to levy taxes with a cap on annual increases. The cap for the 2023 tax year is 6%.

In exchange for passage of this bill, two others were withdrawn from November’s ballot.

Upchurch said this legislation will not affect the per pupil operating revenue this year, but it is impossible to predict the future impact.

Upchurch also reported on progress of the new Career and Innovation Center, which is due to open for the 2025-26 school year. It was funded by passage of SB 24-017, which made available slightly over $8 million by equalizing the distribution of tax revenue throughout the year. There have been meetings with community members, staff, and business owners regarding the types of training which would be made available, and it would make it unnecessary for students to leave the area for part of their school day to receive such training.

The center will prepare students for alternative post-secondary education in technology, healthcare, and skilled trades such as construction. The district is partnering with industry to develop the program.

Accreditation and District Unified Improvement Plan

Assessment and Accountability Coordinator Dr. Michael Brom reported on results of the Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS) and ACT and SAT testing from the spring.

Brom reported that the district was accredited with distinction for the 15th year in a row. The district was rated 74.5 out of 100. It is one of 17 districts in the state which are so accredited. The district’s score has been gradually declining over the past few years.

Brom commented that some reasons for the decline may include suspension of the testing during the pandemic and the addition of science at the high school level in the testing. Another possible factor is the difference between the use of online testing and paper and pencil, and the introduction of many new teachers with relatively little experience.

Some weak spots in the results included English language arts and math on the middle school level and inadequate math growth at the middle school level and at some elementary schools. Growth measures whether a student achieves grade level proficiency from one year to the next.

Some possible solutions include the addition of interventions in math instruction at the secondary level and increased stress on reading in elementary school.

One committee member commented that some students were at a critical age to learn reading during the pandemic and interventions are appropriate to accommodate for that. Another member commented that lack of participation in the testing due to opting out deprives the schools of important data.

To view the presentation, please see the district website lewispalmer.org, family resources, parent and community advisory committee, meeting materials.

Charter school application

Assistant Superintendent Amber Whetstine reported on progress in consideration of an application for a new charter school, World Compass Academy.

The application was later withdrawn due to lack of enrollment.

Bylaws change

The committee voted to change the bylaws to allow an individual who is a chair of a Building Advisory Committee to also serve as a co-chair of PCAC.

**********

The Lewis-Palmer D38 Parent and Community Advisory Committee meets six times a year on the second Tuesday of the month at 6 p.m. The next meeting will be on Oct. 8 at Lewis-Palmer Elementary School, 1315 Lake Woodmoor Drive. A tour of the school will be offered at 5:30. For information, please contact tmckee@lewispalmer.org.

Monument Academy School Board, Sept. 12 – Board discusses parental review of library materials, adopts management system

By Jackie Burhans

The Monument Academy (MA) board met on Sept. 12 to discuss its library materials parental review policy and adopt a new board management system. The board also heard a citizen comment on discipline, updated several policies, and spotlighted a teacher for her engaging and innovative lessons.

Library materials parental review policy

The board returned to discussing its policy KECL on parental review of library materials. Board member Karen Hoida said the Governance Committee had made some changes and wanted to discuss some new proposals that would allow more books to stay on shelves. She noted that the committee had received a lot of public comments, and many of the changes were related to those. Board member Jilinda Dygert said the review form and process were not yet available.

Board President Ryan Graham asked what a reasonable amount of time it would take for the Review Committee to review a book that a parent suggested. Dygert said it would depend on how often the committee meets. Executive Director Collin Vinchattle said the length would depend on how many books were submitted for review.

Dygert said that parents could volunteer for a two-year term on the Review Committee without a specified term limit as long as their kids were in school. Graham noted that the policy says parent members are appointed by Vinchattle, asking if they would have to be re-approved for an additional term. Vinchattle noted that many people are interested in the committee, saying he would have to work out the process.

Dygert added that the Governance Committee had removed item 22 because the library system cannot notify parents as their child checks out books. She said the librarian can show parents how to access the system and see their child’s checkout history. The librarian can also add a note if the parent prefers their child not access the library.

Graham said he wanted a summary of the parental feedback before approving the policy. He expressed concern that a book could not be challenged for five years and that limiting the number of books parents could challenge would limit their voice. He proposed that the board delay this approval until next month and have the opportunity to react to a redline version of the policy that shows its changes. Hoida and Dygert agreed to the delay with Hoida specifying that MA has a wonderful librarian, and she does not anticipate a large influx of books to review.

New board management system

Vinchattle and Vice President Lindsay Clinton reported that they had reviewed three options and preferred Simbli Board Management Software to help manage meetings, policies, and board documents. Vinchattle said all this information is currently on the board website but is not very well organized or easy to manage. Simbli would also host other essential documents, such as MA’s original charter and its latest charter agreement with the district. Clinton cited its security, organization, and efficiency, saying that staff and parents could find everything in one spot.

Vinchattle said that the software has different modules with different pricing. The company would prorate the costs and offer a 25% discount if purchased in September. He suggested using available funds for board professional development for this purchase.

Chief Financial Officer Glenn Gustafson confirmed that funds were available for professional development and technology. He said he came from an environment with a robust board management system and felt this was a great investment.

The board unanimously approved purchasing the Simbli meetings, policies, and documents modules. For more information on Simbli, see www.eboardsolutions.com.

Citizen comment on discipline

A parent spoke, first thanking the board and school for their efforts, about a growing concern with school discipline, especially the difference between West and East Campus. He said parents were aware of physical altercations involving teachers, paraprofessionals, and substitute teachers. He noted that children knew the limits of discipline and consequences of breaking the rules and that he knew certain teachers who felt helpless.

He said that as a parent, it’s unnerving to know that children may be entering situations where adult intervention does not solve the problem. He said he wasn’t looking for strictness or authoritarianism, but if there was any decision-maker concerned about the impact on budgets or lawsuits, the school should know it had the support of parents whose kids wanted to attend the school.

He pointed out that losing one child because of discipline meant the loss of one child’s funding, but not defending the other children could result in losing the other 22 students. He noted that homeschooling had become much easier since COVID-19 but asked what parents could do better in their homes to align with classroom expectations.

Graham said he would share the parent’s email with Vinchattle to follow up.

Policy updates

The MA board unanimously adopted and updated several policies at the regular meeting. Vinchattle said new policies were adopted so they could be modified to fit MA. Hoida said any legal questions were brought to counsel for review. She said the Governance Committee would bring five policies to each monthly board meeting:

  • GBEB-MA Staff Conduct – new policy concerning rules of conduct.
  • GBGA-MA Staff Heath – speaks to how MA would cover the cost of required special physical exams.
  • GBGA-R-MA Staff Health regulation – placeholder in case MA wants to vary from the district policy.
  • GDE/GDF-MA Support Staff Recruiting/Hiring – minor edit on hiring guidelines such as non-discrimination and finalization.
  • GDE/GDF-R-MA Support Staff Recruiting/Hiring regulation – covers procedures for hiring, including background checks, credit reports, fingerprinting, and state reporting.

Board policies can be found on the MA website at http://bit.ly/ma-boe by selecting Board Policies.

Highlights

Board meeting highlights include:

  • Board member Craig Carle spotlighted eighth-grade history teacher Casey Heinbuch for creating engaging lessons and finding an opportunity to work with the El Paso County judicial system for students to participate in a mock trial.
  • Vinchattle said he had received the school performance framework for both schools and congratulated principals and teachers for increasing the schools’ ratings.
  • Vinchattle read a letter that was sent out to parents kicking off fundraising for a new field with a track to enhance students’ athletic experience. Families are invited to participate in fundraising; the initial goal is $100,000 to win a matching grant from the Daniels Fund. The initial bid totals $3.5 million broken out as $1.5 million for the field, $500,000 for the track and another $1.5 million for concessions, lights, and stands.
  • The board unanimously approved awarding a contract to Abacas LLC for accounts payable processing as requested by Gustafson, who noted that MA’s business manager would be retiring at the end of the month.
  • Vinchattle asked the board if there was additional information it wanted to ask in the Student Accountability Advisory Committee (SAAC) surveys. Vice President Lindsay Clinton suggested asking how parents feel about fundraising efforts and how they prefer to give.
  • Dygert suggested a combined presentation to East and West Campus SAACs on the Unified Improvement Plan (UIP). She said the two SAACs could review their bylaws separately and come together to make modifications, or they could do that in the reverse order.
  • The board unanimously agreed to revise the staff handbook to specify that classroom displays and decorations must have a connection to the curriculum or content of the coursework being taught. Any potentially divisive material must have a curricular purpose, be balanced, and be approved by an administrator in advance.
  • Vinchattle asked the board to perform its yearly review of the Emergency Operating Procedures and provide feedback, noting that it had minor modifications around school resource officers and the Fire Department.
  • The board approved a special meeting on Oct. 24 at 6:30 p.m. to have consultant Lis Richard of Helping Schools Thrive present to the board.
  • The board held a short executive session to discuss specialized details of security arrangements and returned without acting.

Lewis-Palmer D38 Board of Education, Sept.16 – District performance framework, bullying policy revision

By Harriet Halbig

The Lewis-Palmer D38 Board of Education discussed its district performance framework and a revised bullying policy at its Sept. 16 meeting.

District performance framework

The Colorado Department of Education (CDE) accredits school districts which in turn accredit individual schools based on the results of testing in the spring. District 38 was accredited with distinction for its 2023-24 school year, one of 17 or 9% of districts to receive this rating. The district rated 74.5 of 100 points based on consideration of academic achievement, student growth, post-secondary readiness, and workforce readiness. This final category includes dropout and graduation rates and matriculation rates, meaning registration in a two- or four-year institute of learning or the military immediately after graduation.

Assistant Superintendent Amber Whetstine explained the results in a presentation which may be viewed on boarddocs under the lewispalmer.org website board of education, boarddocs by meeting date.

Some highlights of the presentation included the fact that the district generally did well in terms of academic performance, had some weak spots in terms of growth, and did well in post-secondary and workforce readiness. To determine growth, students are assessed on the basis of all of their peers in the state to determine whether they grow a year in progress for each school year. This is important because each category of students (free/reduced lunch, minority, and students with disabilities) is also rated among their peers throughout the state.

Whetstine pointed out that the post-secondary and workforce readiness did not account for the fact that some students attended college classes while in high school. She also commented that some students take a gap year before starting college or do missionary work during the year following graduation.

When asked whether military dependents who enter the district during the school year have a disadvantage, Whetstine replied that the district accepts all students. Board President Tiffiney Upchurch said that the Colorado Association of School Boards is considering counting those who receive a GED (graduate equivalency degree) to be counted as graduates if they achieve it within the four years allowed for high school.

Whetstine reported that the district and all schools within it qualified for performance plans this year. Last year, some schools received improvement plans due to lack of participation in testing and insufficient academic achievement.

Whetstine also commented that the overall score for the district has been declining slightly over the past three years and that school officials are addressing that fact. Board Treasurer Ron Schwarz asked whether this decline is an anomaly or a trend. Whetstine replied that there was no data reported during the two years of the pandemic and this is the first year when science test scores have been included in the scores. She assured Schwarz that district officials are aware of the decline and plan to address it. She said that the district is concentrating on finding the root causes of the problem.

For example, there is weak performance in math at the middle school level. It needs to be determined whether the issue is the curriculum, the amount of time spent per week on the subject, or the need for additional professional development.

Schwarz commented that the performance of operating schools in the district is good or excellent, but in some areas Monument Academy is falling behind. He asked whether there is interchange to improve Monument Academy’s results.

Whetstine responded that there is sharing of best practices and other information with Monument Academy.

Board Secretary Dr. Patti Shank commented that the Parent and Community Advisory Committee discussed this subject at a recent meeting focusing on improvement and how to achieve it.

To view the discussion of this subject by the Parent and Community Advisory Committee, please see page < 14 > of this issue.

The board passed a motion to accredit all schools in District 38.

Revised bullying policy

The board approved the proposed changes to board policy JICDE, bullying prevention and education.

The changes had their first reading at the board’s Aug. 19 meeting. To view a redlined edition of the policy, please see boarddocs. The policy addresses bullying, retaliation against those reporting bullying, and making knowingly false accusations of bullying

The policy includes definitions, prevention, intervention, and reporting.

Student and alumni recognition

Above: At the Sept. 16 D38 board meeting, the board recognized Shaeya Johnson. As a sophomore at Lewis-Palmer High School during the 2023-24 school year, Johnson won many state and regional trampoline and tumbling competitions, culminating in winning the Double Mini Level 10 national championship in July 2024. Johnson’s coach Terri Devries from Stars Gymnastics in North Colorado Springs discussed Johnson’s mental strength, noting that her parents, Davonne and Mark Johnson, had additional children coming up in the sport. Davonne Johnson is the principal at Lewis-Palmer Elementary School. From left, in front, are board President Tiffiney Upchurch, board member Dr. Patti Shank, Johnson, and Devries.

The board recognized Lewis-Palmer junior Shaeya Johnson for winning the national championship in double mini level 10 trampoline and tumbling in July.

Johnson had previously won various state and regional competitions and also competes in synchronized trampoline.

Johnson’s coach Terri DeVries from Star Gymnastics presented a brief video of Shaeya during her competition and said that her sport is administered under USA Gymnastics.

In her superintendent’s update, Superintendent Dr. Stacie Datteri recognized four district students who were honored as National Merit Semifinalists. They are Jaithan McEchron and Kai Jones of Lewis-Palmer High School, Charlotte Weitzel of Monument Academy, and Connick Goodwin of Palmer Ridge High School. Semifinalists represent less than 1% of those juniors taking the exam. They can now go on to apply for scholarships.

Datteri also recognized two Lewis-Palmer High School graduates who have gone on to achieve in athletics. Billy Cook is now playing baseball for the Pittsburgh Pirates and Matthew Ragsdale is playing professional basketball in Germany.

Datteri also announced that the World Compass Academy charter school has withdrawn its application due to lack of enrollment.

El Paso Board of County Commissioners, Sept. 12, 24, and 26 – Development approvals for Black Forest and Palmer Lake projects

By Helen Walklett

During September, the El Paso Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) approved a request to extend the Cathedral Pines subdivision in Black Forest, adding eight residential lots. The commissioners also approved land use applications for a Black Forest and a property in the unincorporated county near Palmer Lake.

The Estates at Cathedral Pines

At the Sept. 12 BOCC land use meeting, the commissioners voted unanimously to approve an application by Villagree Development LLC which will extend the Cathedral Pines subdivision, adding eight residential lots in a gated community to be known as The Estates at Cathedral Pines.

The application included a request to rezone 35.09 acres from RR-5 (residential rural) to PUD (planned unit development) and approve a preliminary plan for eight single-family residential lots with open space provision. The currently vacant property is on the west side of Winslow Drive, about 1 mile northwest of the intersection of Shoup and Milam Roads.

The applicant also sought a finding of water sufficiency with regards to water quality, quantity, and dependability. Approval of the preliminary plan with such a finding means subsequent final plats may be approved administratively, i.e. without public hearings.

The application was heard as a consent item, meaning there was no discussion. It came from the Aug. 15 El Paso County Planning Commission meeting with a unanimous recommendation for approval.

Minor subdivision near Palmer Lake

At the Sept. 26 BOCC land use meeting, the commissioners approved a request by Clifford Joyner to replat two existing lots as four single-family lots. The 3-acre property is zoned RR-0.5 (rural residential) and is located on Cloven Hoof Drive, off Highway 105, near Palmer Lake. The subdivision will be known as Ponderosa Pine Estates.

The application came from the Planning Commission’s Sept. 5 meeting with a unanimous recommendation for approval. A member of the public had stated that they wished to call in to that meeting remotely to comment but staff were unable to contact them.

At the BOCC hearing, adjacent neighbors Kimberly and Christopher Heydlauff voiced concerns about whether the new homes would be private or rental properties, a matter which was unclear from the documentation. They also stated that Joyner intended to use an existing easement on their property to access the two southern lots. The Heydlauffs were unable to attend the Planning Commission hearing but had submitted comments that are part of the official record. Ryan Howser, senior planner, Planning and Community Development, stated, “The request does not contemplate whether or not the lots will be owner occupied or rental occupied. That’s not criteria that we can consider with a replat.”

Lori Seago, senior assistant county attorney, told the commissioners that a criterion for subdivision approval is that the lots have legal access and that it was her opinion that they did in this case via the existing easement on the Heydlauffs’ property. She added that this could be challenged in court.

The commissioners agreed that the points raised by the Heydlauffs were not related to any of the criteria to be considered during the hearing and therefore decided not to elevate the application to a full hearing. They encouraged them to work with Joyner to reach a way forward. They voted to unanimously approve the application.

Center Ice View minor subdivision

Also at the Sept. 26 meeting, the commissioners unanimously approved an application by Andrew Alm for a final plat to create two single-family residential lots on a 12.72-acre property zoned RR-5 (residential rural), a quarter-mile north of Hay Creek Road.

The property was created through an illegal subdivision of land in 2002 with the property previously being part of a 70-acre parcel to the west. The final plat application legalizes the existing unplatted lot and plats the property into two new lots of 7.71 and 5 acres to be known as Driftwood Estates. A private water supply well and wastewater septic tank will be installed to serve the lots.

At the Sept. 5 Planning Commission meeting, a nearby property owner raised concerns about adding a well to the neighborhood. He said, “This area, if we use average flows out of the aquifer, from this area we should get 15 gallons a minute. No one gets 15 gallons a minute in that area. I get about a quart a minute so I’m naturally a little bit concerned about adding even more wells to an area where most people already buy water and have it hauled.”

Commissioner Tim Trowbridge responded, “We have very limited control over the water. That’s controlled by the state.” He added, “El Paso County does have a more stringent 300-year requirement that that water supply must be good for whereas the state only mandates 100 so we try and do what we can.”

The application came to the BOCC from the Planning Commission meeting with a unanimous recommendation for approval. Both hearings heard the application as a consent item, meaning there was no further discussion.

Fox Run Nature Center Canopy Walk

Also in September, the commissioners voted to approve a grant submittal to Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) for the Fox Run Canopy Walk project. The project is one component of the Nature Center at Fox Run Regional Park. The Canopy Walk is intended to be an educational hub. It will start with an observation tower that will allow access to the forest canopy.

The Canopy Walk is estimated to cost $3 million. Parks and Community Services has committed $1.75 million to the project and is currently completing a capital fundraising campaign to complement this commitment. A successful application for $1.25 million from the LWCF would see the project fully funded. Final design and cost estimates for this part of the nature center project are due at the end of the year. Construction is estimated to begin in late 2025 with opening in 2026.
