Her sermons and services at the Dayton United Methodist Church and the Harcourt United Methodist Church portray a little bit of humor.

Pastor Kay. Christie, formerly of Stanhope, also revealed that she tells jokes at funerals. (Rev. Christie uses a period after her first name.

Its nothing inappropriate, Christie said. But during that grieving process, along with the crying and missing, you have be able to laugh. That releases the oth-er side, and starts the whole healing process.

On July 1, the Dayton United Methodist Church and Harcourt United Methodist Church officially intro-duced Pastor Kay. Christie.

Christies journey to Dayton and Harcourt has been long and winding, but Christie was eager to contrib-ute to her community.

I like to think that Im giving back, Christie said. I have been given so much; I have been blessed beyond measure. I feel that its a very big thing to give back, to make sure that I can make everyone smile at least once.

Christie was born in Webster City in 1965 and is the oldest of three children. Christie graduated in the Class of 1983 at South Hamilton in Jewell.

Christie initially wanted to train horses instead of going to college. However, she went to college as an equestrian major.

While in college in Wyoming, Christie broke her back twice. Then, Christie returned home and went to work, where she was employed at an Arabian farm near Scranton.

Later, Christie moved to Colorado the first time around. She worked on a ranch and met her first husband.

They were married for 10 years and had her first daughter. They split and Christie headed back to Iowa, where she worked her first stint with the Webster City Daily Freeman-Journal.

She was employed by the Daily Freeman-Jour-nal for six and a half years, before returning to Colorado.

It was there where she became the editor of two newspapers, the Limon Leader and the Eastern Colorado

Plainsman. In Colorado, it was where she had gotten her

start in ministry by way of teaching childrens sermons. The people that Ive met and the things I saw

and learned were just like, wow, what an experience, Christie said.

Christie returned to Iowa once more and to the Daily Freeman-Journal, where she worked part-time.

Along with working nights, Christie had spoken with the United Methodist Church District Superinten-dent and said that she had graduated from the School of Lay Ministry in 2002.

By the end of her meeting, she was given minis-try over two churches, the First United Methodist Church located in Williams and the other in Ellis Township.

God has been there all along, Christie said.

Lambert, Dayton, recallsmoving of Caldwell ParkWWI memorial rockBy Lois Lambert

The large rock in Caldwell Park was moved there by Peter Linn and Floyd Olson (Olson was my fa-ther) sometime after World War I.

They moved it from southeast of Dayton on wooden skids, pulled by two tractors. The first day, they made it to the railroad tracks, which is just past the rodeo grounds. The skids gave out, so they had to obtain new skids and it was moved on the second day, put in its place where it is now.

Reuben E. Peterson (June 19, 1919; Coelenz, Germany) was Earl Petersons and Lois Lamberts great uncle, whose name was inscribed on the memorial along-side Charles H. Peterson (July 26, 1918; Chateau Thiery), Theodore J. Anderson (Oct. 8, 1918; Camp Dodge), Duane H. Hinman (Oct. 20, 1918; Bordeaux, France) and Ernest E. Peterson (Oct. 21, 1918; Clermon-Ferrard, France).

On the rock, it is written that they died that we might live.

Editors Note: Currently, there is a proposal to move the Caldwell Park memorial rock to the Day-ton Historical Museum site.

The World War I memorial rock currently sits at Caldwell Park, next to the Dayton Elementary School.

Harcourt Appreciation Days July 31, August 1

There will be a community church service in the park on Sunday morning at 10 a.m. with a program by the vacation bible school kids and lunch to follow service.

New Minister continued on page 5...

Rev. Christie is the new minister at the Dayton United Methodist Church and the Harcourt United Meth-odist Church. She is a Webster City native and was the for-mer editor of two Colorado newspapers.

Everyone appreciates your great susccess!

SV Student math, science skills dont meet standardsLower then 85%... Approval for the proposed Laurel Park Frisbee Golf Course, a presentation of the Student Achievement Data and an expansion of Kids Palace Daycare into the technology lab were subjects of the Prairie Valley School Board meeting on Wednesday, July 15 at the Southeast Valley High School Library. The meeting began at 6:45 and moved rather quickly. The first major move that the school board made was the hiring of Kyle Johnson as a Student Intervention-ist (counselor, etc.), a full-time position at the school. Johnson is the current Southeast Valley head coach in boys basketball. The school board approved the City of Gowrie expanding the existing agreement for the baseball field in Gowrie. This would include the usage of the parking areas and surrounding area near the football field to ac-comodate the proposed Laurel Park Frisbee Golf Course. Following the motion, the school board also ap-proved sponsoring Hole Seven on the course, contribut-ing $500 toward the project. There were also no bids on the John Deere mow-er, and the school board agreed that the mower should be advertised at a set price of $4,500. Expansion of Kids Palace Daycare was given the go-ahead by the school board, as the daycare will ex-pand into the technology lab room. The Preschool and the daycare will exchange existing rooms. For the move and expansion, Kids Palace will pay the school $450 monthly. The school board also held an extensive conver-sation with the Student Achievement Data presented. The conclusion of the analysis by school officials stated that the percent of students proficient in reading, math and science did not consistently meet the expectation of 85 percent in general education classrooms. The percentage of non-proficient students in-creased after elementary school, and the district set a goal of having 85 percent of its students to be proficient in reading at all grade levels. In the conversation, members discussed weak spots and key indicators, as well as what can be done about improvement. Present at the meeting were board members Shannon Miller, Heidi McGuire, Gary Welter, Brian Holmgaard and Jim Carlson. Principals Jim Henrich and Jim Duncan, along with Superintendent Lois Irwin were also present at the meeting.

Evelyn A. Lathrop, 98, of Spencer, Iowa, and formerly of Humboldt and Burnside, Iowa, died Wednes-day, July 22, 2015, at Northshire Nursing Home in Spen-cer. Funeral services were held 11:00 a.m., Tuesday, July 28, 2015, at the United Methodist Church in Dayton. Pastor Kay. Christie will officiate. Burial was held at West Lawn Cemetery in Lehigh. For online obituaries and condolences please visit: www.carsonstappfuneral-home.com Evelyn Anna Schultz was born on July 18, 1917, in rural Otho, Iowa, the daughter of George and Elsie (An-derson) Schultz. She attended schools in the area of her birth. Evelyn was united in marriage to Robert C. Lathrop on September 26, 1936, at the Riverside United Method-ist Church in Fort Dodge. They were blessed to have been married for over 74 years. Evelyn worked as a seamstress at Fantles, Lillians, and Hollywood Style Shop in Fort Dodge for many years, retiring in 1978. Evelyn and Bob made their home in Burnside for over 60 years. In 2002, the couple moved to Hum-boldt, and in September of 2008, to Spencer.

Evelyn A. Lathrop, 98

I like summer I like summer rain. Not at noon when everyone wants to be outside in the sunshine swimming, if you are lucky enough to be at the beach. But after the sun sets, when the world is dark and lightning brightens the sky only to be followed by the predictable strike of thunder. We count the seconds between the light and sound to guess how far the storm is from us. One thousand one, one thousand two I like bug bites. Theyre the result of spending time outside playing too much croquet or badminton or golf or bocce or wiffle ball. We have so much fun and are so intent on swatting balls (or shuttlecocks) we forget about swatting bugs. Until later, when we are inside; then I like anti-itch cream. I like it a lot. I like running out of Popsicles or ice cream. It means weve been indulging in frozen concoctions to cope with the heat of summers long days. We may even skip a meal because we are outside playing and instead supplement with treats from the freezer. Ice cream for lunch = joy. I like running out of toilet paper. It happens when everyone is home and well feeling at home. I add bonus points to this merry moment if everyone re-members to flush. I like when everyone flushes. It feels miraculous, because I believe it is. I like weeds. In another universe they may be expensive, coveted plants (although I doubt it). Here, on earth, in my yard, I have the opportunity to ban them from the garden even though they are unruly and refuse to obey humans. Weeds are good because they provide me with a worthwhile task: pulling them. I like sand on the kitchen floor. The bathroom floor. The carpet. The dogs hair. The kids hair. My bathing suit. You name it. Sand can be everywhere dur-ing the summer months. I think it may even self-multiply. But it indicates one thing: the beach. And the beach in a word is good. Well, that and wet. And sandy. I like standing in line to ride the roller coaster. It means I am at an amusement park and that is amusing. Queuing up (a fancy term I learned during a Disney visit) allows me to anticipate the fun. It prolongs the entertain-ment and gives me more bang for my buck. Standing in line is at the heart of the free amusement park experience.

Sometimes I just stand in line, without buying a ticket to ride. But not often. I like sweating in the summer sun. It means I am burning calories, even if I am just sitting in a lawn chair with a good book. Burning calories is always a positive thing for someone my age because once you reach the middle years, your middle tends to expand and your me-tabolism tends to deflate. I once gained three pounds after a brief glance toward a piece of chocolate cake, so a little sweat is welcome. I like a wet swimsuit butt that will not dry even though it is 90 degrees outside because the humidity is also at 90, so your backside remains damp on the lawn chair, while you read that good book. You could go in and change, but you dont. Wet swimsuit butt is a rite of summer and shouldnt be squandered. I like a farmers tan. It says Ive been outside doing something that is something beyond sitting in a lawn chair with a good book. It also indicates Ive been sweating because doing something in the summer invari-ably involves sweat. A farmers tan is almost like killing two birds with one stone. (Not that we encourage bird murder in my neighborhood. I like birds.) I like cleaning the kitchen 17 times a day be-cause the kids are home from school and they are (and Im not exaggerating) perpetually hungry. Despite find-ing the frying pan in the sink (again) and an ongoing inability to keep the fridge stocked, I like having them home during the summer. When the house is full, so is my heart. (Cheesy, I know.) I like cheese. All year long. No explanation needed. Summer is humidity, sticky skin, burnt shoul-ders, pollen, allergies, hot car seats, fruit flies on banan-as, bees in your lemonade, wood ticks on your leg, ants in your kitchen, mosquitoes in the air and gnats in your nose. It is also a time to ride with the top down, walk barefoot, grill dinner, eat fresh berries, run through the sprinkler, soak in the sun, spend time together and see the glass as half full preferably with your favorite summer-time beverage. Cheers. Jill Pertler is an award-winning syndicated col-umnist, published playwright and author. Dont miss a slice; follow the Slices of Life page on Facebook.

Recipe of the Weekfrom Dayton

Community GroceryPickle ChipsIngredients

Sandwich sliced dill pickles (about 12 slices)

1-2 cups Panko Breadcrumbs Oil for frying Batter 1 cup all purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 egg 1 teaspoon paprika teaspoon black pepper teaspoon dill (optional)

Instructions Preheat oil to 360-370 degrees. Combine all batter ingredients and stir until

smooth, let sit at least 5 minutes. Dab pickle slices on paper towels to dry

them. Place about cup of Panko bread crumbs in a bowl (add more as needed). (If they get wet, they dont stick so its best to work in small batches.)

Dip each pickle slice in the wet batter and then gently toss in the bread crumbs, let sit for a minute or so, this will allow the crumbs to stick better.

Fry in small batches for 3-4 minutes or until brown and crispy.

Serve with ranch dip.

How many times have I said we cant go home again but if I could go home again Id like to go back to the days when we came into town on Saturday nights during the summer. This was the highlight of our week as school was out and for country kids that was the only time we had to get together in the summertime. Several of us did not live close and were on different party lines and back then kids (or most people) didnt get on the phone and yap and yap and who heard of texting or Facebook? It would be fun to once again get that candy bar at Westeens and the nickel bag of popcorn from Axel Westeen then go walking, talking and share the goodies. We would then be able to go to the town pump for a cool sip or two of water. We met others along the main street and caught up on our weeks activities. We of-ten got to do the same thing on Wednesdays and have the added enjoyment of watching the town band but at a fairly young age I was in that band for a while, oom pah-ing away. On those revisited times I would do what I wish I had done. As I grew older, we moved to town and I eventually got a job on Wednesdays and Saturdays, I met some very interesting people. Many of those older

What the oldtimers could have told us...people were Swedish immigrants or were among the early residents or even among the founders. How I wish I had talked to them in depth, learning of their decisions to make this spot in Boone County home whether they were first or second generation people. They could tell me first hand of their lives and experiences. They could tell me of their struggles to es-tablish a community and how it grew to have businesses of all kind to serve the townspeople and especially those in the farm area around the town. I had known that Box-holm was the name of a town in Sweden. Why didnt I check that out further and talk to John A. Anderson about his fathers home town being Boxholm, Sweden and what he remembered of his father and the steps leading to the early establishing the community. It was around and active some years prior to being officially incorporated nearly 102 years ago. There were others who were early settlers or had second generation offspring from whom I could have gleaned a lot of information. Apparently word got back to the old country of this paradise in the center of the United States of America as there were a number of people who immigrated to the area. Axel Anderson was one of those people and I spent quite a bit of time in his and wife Annas home, listening to the Swedish con-versations until they realized I was there too. That was okay. I did learn only a few words but got so I could get the gist of a conversation. That ability long ago made its escape from my brain. There were other people who were first gen-eration too. Why didnt I contact them to learn of their reasons for coming to Boone County. I know why they came to the U.S. but what led them to that spot? Did they have others already here? Had the word gotten back that it was a good place to be with rich farmland avail-able? My classmate, Maxine Johnsons, parents were late comers but they were pure Swedish. Why didnt she write about that or ask them questions and pass on to us long time Americans? Another person I wish I had talked to beyond chit chat at Lundvalls was John Miller. He was quite a guy. And, I know he would have had some tales to tell because he surely had some insight on the Hitler re-gime. I understand his son, Ernst, was first his stepson who somehow missed being held and put into youth and then military service of Hitlers army, most likely thanks to John. That, too, would have been of interest beyond just the hearsay. I may have needed an interpreter if pos-sible but still, an interesting account was missed. Why didnt I talk with Axel Westeen, not born in Sweden but early aboard in Boxholm history was Pete Stark, talked more with Lloyd Lundvall whose Dad was an entrepreneur in the developing town. Why didnt I think to write down some of the info gleaned from con-versations with Esther? There were others around, if not first from the old country generations but close behind who would have had tales to tell. But, alas, we do have facts and figures but not those personal tales that would bring them back to life. My folks and I remember being asked what kind of a nationality was Downs and we always said just plain American. Apparently families on both side of my tree have been around for who knows how long. I wish I knew more. I know it basically both sides back went back into the 17th or early 19th century, perhaps even before that, but have a feeling they decided some-where to follow the Mayflower and gradually moving westward to Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Mis-souri and Iowa. My mothers parents moved to South Dakota where they homesteaded on 80 not so good farming acres at a total cost of $160 and grandfather con-tinued his railroad career until his early death. Of course, we cant go home again. If there are any of your descendants still around who had a chance to talk with a grandparent, great grandparent, aunts, uncles, etc. I hope they told you some of those family stories, funny, sad, and all and that you have them not only in your head but written down. If not written, do it now. You cant go home again.

He was there and directing my path, and putting up roadblocks where they needed to be. He made sure that I would be here, eventually. Christie wanted to stay close to her parents in Stratford. While she attempted to be a part of the Method-ist Church in Belmond, it fell through. A month later, good news came. The District Supervisor informed her of the opening in Dayton. Coming here has just been euphoric, it really has, Christie said. Everyone has been nice all across the board. Right now, even though Ive been as busy or busier than I have ever been, its what I want to do. Just as she has been excited to be in Dayton, Christie does have expectations for herself and the Day-ton United Methodist Church. I do have expectations, Christie said. Ive outlined this to my congregation a couple of times in a few different ways, but I want them to know that we are a team. I may be leading this team, but that does not make me more or less important than anyone else on the team. Ive always been a team player. Christie shared that there is already a great team in place, and that shes honored to be a part of that team. To Christie, its good to be at the right place at the right time and for the right reasons.

Iowas Pheasant Survey begins August 1 Iowas 15-day annual pheasant population sur-vey begins on Aug. 1, and wildlife experts say this year could be hard to predict. A mild winter proceeded a warm March and April, then a wet May and June is giving wildlife experts mixed messages, but reports are coming in from people who are seeing more pheasants and quail than the last few years. We likely had good winter survival from our adult pheasants and quail giving us good populations to build from, said Todd Bogenschutz, upland wildlife bi-ologist with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources who coordinates and collects the data from the 208, 30-mile survey routes. Pheasants do best during mild winters with less than 30 inches of snow followed by a warm, dry spring nesting season with less than eight inches of rain. Iowas statewide snowfall average was 21.2 inches. The state-wide spring rain average was 8.6 inches. Ive had lots of reports from people who were seeing early pheasant chicks, which is positive given that May and June were so wet, he said. Our population model based on weather is predicting a steady to slightly increasing population. Roadside counts should be inter-esting. The August roadside survey is the best measure-

Tyler gives advice to high school students?! Hide the children! Hey friends, here I am once more. Another week of summer is in the books, and knowing those who are many years my junior, its about that time to start gearing up for another school year. You know, I was once in the same boat. I used to dread going back to class. I liked to sleep in until noon, and I still do when I have the opportunity, and either sit around in the air conditioning (I cant tell you how many hours I burned away watching Jerry Springer, Ricky Lake and Maury in my youth) or go out and meet up with friends. Feel free to call me nostalgic already, but look-ing back in retrospect, I came to cherish the times I was in high school. Well, certain parts of high school. You see, I started off as a freshman at Fort Dodge Senior High. Oh boy, was that year of school rough. Going from middle school to senior high, it was a major transition. The identity that I previously had was excep-tionally minimized. Instead of being the big fish in the small pond, I was now a minnow in the sea. Once I came to Southeast Webster for my soph-omore year and onward, I knew that I was going to be all right. I knew a few of the teachers and as well as a few of my peers. While the workload was a little more challeng-ing than what I previously encountered in Fort Dodge, it was all for the better. Thank you Mr. Theobald, Mr. Anderlik, Mr. Zi-grang, and all those great instructors who were in Burn-side from 2002 to 2005. Youre awesome. I took my lumps grade-wise in the beginning of my stint as an Eagle, but I came out just fine. I mean, look at me now, Im writing this awe-some column. Well, its not that awesome, but lets just roll with it here. On a more serious note, I believe thats what makes smaller community schools all the more special. Its more enticing to go out for sports, music and other

extracurricular activities. Believe it or not, there is something for every-one. Especially at Southeast Valley High School. Whats cool about SV is instead of just seeing specific teachers and students like you would at the larger schools, you run into the same crowd nearly every day and more familiarity is gained. My advice to any incoming freshman is the same as incoming college students. The main thing with high schools, colleges and universities is to get involved, and even if you stink at it, join up and be there to learn. Remember, its not what you know, its about who you know and whos willing to speak up for you. Plus, its okay if youre not a five-star athlete or a whiz kid. Its all right to be quite awkward at this stage of the game. Trust me, weve all been there in some shape or form. Next, I sound like Im cheating on parental advice here, but grades arent everything. Instead, give everything your best shot. If you give a solid effort on everything, even if you dont completely comprehend the material, youll wind up doing okay. Another thing Ive personally learned over the years is to keep your teachers and instructors in the loop about things. Theyre human too, and they will under-stand if youre not getting a firm mental grasp on certain material. Or better yet, if youre having a bad day and you need some cool down time, they will appreciate it if you let them know. Its better to cool the jets, count to ten and come back to class in a better mood than cause another distur-bance and get deeper into trouble. Also, I know this goes against the policy of how younger people work and how certain cliques operate, but please dont be a jerk to others. Be as positive as you can, respect the Golden Rule and all of that cool stuff. You dont absolutely know what a certain per-sons situation is, and until you walk a mile in their shoes, its best that youre polite to them or at least be tolerant of their differences. If you know someone you think is being annoy-ing or disruptive, dont simply tell them to shut up. Its going to make it worse. Just be as cool as the other side of the pillow (pardon my Stuart Scott reference) and kindly ask them to turn down the proverbial volume. If you break it to them nicely rather than bluntly, you will generate have a more positive response. On one last note, compliment people as much as you can. Always assist your peers when theyre down on their luck and always praise your peers when they suc-

ceed. Always remember, you will attract more bees with honey than with vinegar. In the long run, everyone is on the same team. Thats what Ive learned over the years. Im still not the best at it, and I dont expect my younger friends to be either. But its always the little things that we do that make or break us, as well as other people, in our high school years and in the long run. To my incoming and returning Southeast Val-ley friends, heres to you. Make your community and the world a better place, one day at a time.

Bible reading... Is reading the Bible daily a priority in your life? The Lord has so much information to give us if we will just make reading the Bible daily a priority in our lives. In 1 Peter, the second chapter and verses one and two tells us that God wants His people to long for the pure milk of the Word, so that we can grow spiritually. Im sure most of us skip a meal each day on oc-casion, but how often do we skip spending time reading His Word? Im afraid a lot of us skip reading the Bible quite often. The thing is, we feed our bodies, which will one day die, and yet we starve our spirit side, which will live forever. A word of encouragement the more we read our Bible, the more we will value the messages there So, how about dusting off your Bible this week and read a few chapters? The Bible is meant to be a way to grow closer to God, not just coffee table decoration, put there to impress friends and neighbors. Start out reading 25 verses and go on from there. Ask God for understanding of the verses we may not understand.

How You Can Avoid Costly Mistakes If Hurt at Work7

Senator Behn urges overrideof Branstads veto on education State Senator Jerry Behn of Boone has an oppor-tunity to give a boost to local schools and reduce pressure on local property taxpayers. By joining the call for a special session, Sena-tor Behn can provide Iowas local schools with an ad-ditional $55.7 million in state funding to improve student achievement. No one denies great local schools are essential to the success of Iowas small towns and rural communi-ties, said State Senator Brian Schoenjahn of Arlington, the chair of the Senate Education Budget Subcommittee. If Governor Branstads veto of critical state funding stands, what was a very tough year for education will be-come a disaster. I urge Senator Behns constituents to ask him to help restore the bipartisan school funding compro-mise.

Compared to other states, the amount Iowa in-vests to educate each student is falling. That fact helped make state support for Iowas local schools the most con-tentious issue of the 2015 legislative session. After months of debate, the House and Senate agreed to add an additional one-time investment to the 1.25% increase in on-going basic state aid. It is important to note that this bipartisan com-promise was part of a fiscally responsible state budget that was $165.8 million dollars less than the budget that Governor Branstad proposed in January. Unfortunately, Governor Branstad vetoed the bipartisan compromise on July 2 that included funding for the 2015-16 school year. Legislators must now decide whether to over-turn the Governors veto of the school funding compro-mise. For that occur, two-thirds of the members of the Iowa House and Senate must sign a written request for a special session. A bright future for our kids and grandchil-drenand our states economywont happen if we shortchange education, said Schoenjahn. It is wrong to put more and more of the burden of funding the schools on local property taxpayers. Senator Behns help is needed to secure the state dollars that Democrats and Republicans agreed to invest in his Senate district. Below are estimates on the positive impact of restoring the bipartisan school funding compromise for schools in Senator Behns district: School District = Amount at risk due to vetoBoone - $233,563Coon Rapids-Bayard - $43,550Gilbert - $149,965Glidden-Ralston = $30,780Hubbard-Radcliffe = $47,185Jefferson-Scranton = $143,240Madrid = $75,434Northeast Hamilton = $23,643Ogden = $69,312Panorama = $79,728Paton-Churdan = $22,773South Hamilton = $72,880Southeast Webster Grand = $60,033Stratford = $19,717United = $37,795Webster City = $171,445 The data was provided by the nonpartisan Leg-islative Service Agency.

July 20, 2015 * 6:00 p.m.Dayton Country Club

The joint board meeting of Southeast Webster Grand and Prairie Valley School Districts was called to order by Dustin Hector Southeast Webster-Grand Board President at 6:00 p.m. The board members present were Dustin Hector, Shannon Miller, Dave Hainzinger, Gary Welter, Todd Lundgren, Jim Carlson, Bryan Holmgaard, John Fields, Kenny Sanders and Heidi McGuire. Others in attendance were Superintendent Rich Stoffers, and Superintendent Lois Irwin, principals Jim Henrich, Dan Fox, Dan Grandfield, Jim Duncan and Business Managers Lisa Willardson & Karla Flickinger. Also present were Jennifer Axness, Katie Van Sickle, Michelle Stapp, Brian Zeka, Amy Jaeske, Sean Stewart, Greg & Angie Heisterman. Absent - Dan Hansen, Rob Scott, William Hinman, and Joe Harrison. Motion by Hainzinger seconded by Welter that the agenda be approved as presented. All ayes motion carried. Mr. Stoffers gave background on the Teacher Leadership Compensation (TLC) program that the school districts are preparing a grant which will be submitted in the fall (last go round). 39 districts were approved in 2014-15. 76 additional districts for 2015-16. 80 more districts have already had TLC grant approved for 2016-17. The grant is due October 16th and if approved will be funded in the fall of 2016: $312.68 per student. Its important for District Leadership Team to receive TLC grant-writing narrative feedback from our BOEs and various stakeholders in our two districts. TLC is being written as one grant. Mr. Fox explained the TLC grant and asked the group to read the narrative and then asked that they break into smaller groups to respond in three areas 1) to each of the sections of the grant thereby giving feedback to the committee. Question/Concern: Gary Welter asked who of those present have been involved in the writing of the grant? Response(s): Jennifer Axness has been a grant writer. Mr. Fox and Mr. Stoffers explained that twelve teachers and administrators attended a TLC grant-writing workshop held at Pr. Lakes AEA #8 back in March. Grant-writers have included: Slininger, Wills, Hector, McBride, Valentine, Axness, Kalahar, Rippentropp, Peterson, Hector and Walsh. In addition, the administration team has been involved in the writing process and TLC meetings. AEA #8 TLC coordinator, Jayme Randel, has been instrumental in SE Valleys grant-writing process and strategies to ensure TLC plan is meeting state requirements. Mr. Fox went on to explain that this grant is not the same as the grants from other districts. However, state goals have certain criteria, you get points on meeting those goals. This grant is being written to achieve those goals. Section 9 and a portion of Section 5 Question/Concerns: The hierarchy is still not working. Need more of a team aspect. Dont see a reason to take the teachers out of the classroom. Who is going to measure the performance? Response(s): Some of the measurement would be by the change in the student outcomes. Job descriptions would be written in each role to be used for the evaluation. True success will only happen as it pertains to trust, building relationships with colleagues, etc. You could still be teaching a full class day and then you would spend time outside of the regular day or school year to receive extra compensation. Section 8 and a portion of Section 5 Question/Concern: Concerns

OLD BUSINESS

over the pulling the best teacher to mentor the others. How would the relationship work with the teachers that they are mentoring? Response(s): Teachers would be working with other teachers during the day to improve their instructional strategies and toolkit to impact students in the classroom. The state would distribute the TLC money and you can only use the money for certain purposes. Mr. Fox explained that the best teachers only impact the students that they teach; this way the best teachers can impact a diverse and wide-range of students and teachers in the district. All the roles are 1 year positions they will reapply every year. Memorandum of Understanding will be used for the 1 year contract. Question/Concern: At the middle school/high school level you replace a teacher and then how are you going to be able to assure that the teacher you replace them with will meet the expectations? How about college level classes at the high school level? Those teachers will be hard to find. Some kids sign up to take classes because of the teacher that is teaching them not the class that they are teaching. Maybe need to divide up the data coaches to have one in each building. Response(s): Not every position has to come from within. 25% of the positions have to come from within. Organized strategies, marketing ideas and recruiting practices will have to be worked through and improved at the district level. Again, this is a TLC draft; a narrative. Feedback / ideas are good. Section 4 Mentoring teachers - beginning educators also get to observe model teachers they are not always being observed. Administrators have roles to play. Question/Concern: Leadership coordinators look a lot like principals. Maybe the money should be split up to have one in each building. The data coach could maybe be one for elementary, one for the middle school, and one for the high school. What are the expectations for the leadership roles? Response(s): Roles of principals are changing; instructional leadership is the goal of every leader. One of the reasons for emphasis on TLC and putting teachers in leadership positions is that present evaluation system hasnt worked well. Also, Iowas state assessment scores have stagnated. More work needs to be done on leadership roles and responsibilities ; accountability component. Section 6 - Requirements for teachers to apply. Some of the initiatives and PD items in the grant will be started this school year. Some of the leadership roles in the grant will test friendships. August 3rd is the next grant writing workshop. Please email or contact Supt.s or principals if interested in attending. School Improvement Advisory Committee Supt. Irwin discussed and reviewed SIACs role in setting vision, educational goals, etc. Documents were shared that included: Wordle; Core Values/Vision of Graduate; Current Reality-Desired State goals document. Shared how we got to this point with a visioning process that involved various stakeholders. SIAC team processed info. creating goals, indicators and measures for those goals. Teachers spent a whole PD day with visioning process and goal-setting. Hector - Why arent we expected to implement the goal for number 5 this year?Miller - Just as long as you are setting goals and attempting
