Attendance: Dave Hazekamp, Tim Burgess, Mark Mesbergen, Bob Szymoniak

1. Mark presented the plan to contract with the MAISD for payroll services during our current payroll officer’s maternity leave. The Board will be asked to take action on this agreement at their upcoming meeting.

2. Mark discussed various considerations with the 2020-21 school calendar. He is currently in discussions with the FEA and MAISD to develop a mutually beneficial calendar. Of note is that the 2020-21 school year will likely begin before Labor Day, thus creating an earlier end to the school year in June of 2021.

3. The committee was asked to make recommendations of community members to sit on the upcoming facilities committee.

4. An update was given on Social/Emotional Support Team changes. Of note is the change from a shared counselor and social worker who split their time between Beach and Shettler, to hiring two social workers who will not have to travel between the buildings, but can be assigned to one building and better serve those students accordingly.

MEETING MINUTES

Attendance: Dave Hazekamp, Susan Franklin, Jill Brott, Mark Mesbergen, Allison Camp, and Bob Szymoniak

1. It was shared that because Kelly Hoekenga, who owns the comfort dog that has been working at Beach and Shettler, has gotten a new job at the ISD, we will be losing that comfort dog with Kelly’s departure. Middle/high school social worker, Shannon Coe, has expressed interest in getting a comfort dog. She is working on funding for the necessary training and certification for the dog she is soon to purchase.

2. Changes to the Social/Emotional Support Team were discussed. Of note was that we are shifting from an elementary counselor/social worker model to a completely social work model so that Beach and Shettler each have their own staff person in this capacity. This is in place of our current model consisting of a counselor and a social worker split between these two buildings which is necessary to meet the requirements of special education programming, but not ideal in supporting the needs of these two buildings.

3. The committee was asked for suggestions of community members to sit on the upcoming Facilities Committee which will meet for the first time in March should all go according to plan.

4. Email communications with Board members was discussed to help eliminate the possibility of an Open Meetings Violation.

5. A new proposed high school course, Musical Theatre, was presented. This course received support from Instructional Council and will be placed on the Board agenda for consideration.

6. Early Childhood Director, Pam Bergey, has recommended a pay raise for her staff. Because of an oversight, this matter was not presented to the Personnel Committee at their meeting on January 13, 2020. Therefore, the Student Affairs Committee reviewed the request and will make the recommendation to the full Board to approve these raises as presented. The cost of these raises will be handled by the Early Childhood Center budget so that there will be no impact on the district’s general fund.

7. General discussion was held on students with significant behavioral issues and their impact on teachers.

Meeting adjourned at 12:58 p.m.

Addendum for Business and Finance Committee Minutes

During the days following the Business and Finance Committee meeting, more questions came up regarding the high school gym equipment and system. Therefore, to ensure Fruitport gets the proper equipment and system for the main gym, the request for the gym sound system is being removed from the January board meeting agenda.

During the next couple of weeks, the team will get back together and ensure the needs of the district are met. Once the team is good with the recommendation, Mark will bring that recommendation to a future Business and Finance Committee meeting.

Fruitport Personal Counseling

submitted by Maribeth Clarke, Administrative Assistant, Fruitport Community Schools

mbandak

Marissa Brandenburg and Audra Kommer

Over the past few years, schools across America have seen an increase in mental health concerns of students such as depression, anxiety, behavioral disruption, etc.  We, at Fruitport Community Schools, have also seen this increase and recognize the impact mental health has on not just student learning, but overall success in both school and life.

Please know that we have formed important partnerships with two organizations to help address this growing issue.  First, we have partnered with Hackley Community Care to bring personal counseling services to our main campus to help students overcome the mental health barriers that might be in the way of their learning. This counseling service, provided by licensed counselor, Marissa Brandenburg, is for all of our students no matter the grade or the building they attend.  Their office is located in the southeastern corner of Edgewood Elementary and will have its own entrance adjacent to the office.  Her assistant, Audra Kommer will help with scheduling appointments and can be reached at 231.733.6720.

Dawn Rymal

Another related support for families comes through a partnership with The Health Project which is affiliated with Mercy Health.  Through The Health Project we will have the services of Dawn Rymal, an experienced Community Health Worker.  Dawn will help families identify resources they need to help remove barriers to student success.  These resources could address housing, food, transportation, dental, vision, and/or other health related needs.  Should you have such a need, you can call Dawn directly at 231.865.4113, or work through school staff to access this support.

High School Construction

submitted by Maribeth Clarke, Administrative Assistant, Fruitport Community Schools

schoolConstruction on the Fruitport High School is right on schedule with the new two-story academic wing slated to be ready for students after the holiday break.

Over the summer, lighting was installed, classrooms and hallways were carpeted, walls were painted, and the HVAC and boiler system was installed.  Classrooms are ready for furniture and the elevator will soon be installed.

classroomThe kitchen equipment and new serving area are well underway and will be ready for students in January.  The work accomplished this summer was incredible.

The next two months will be a busy time for our technology and maintenance crews while they move teachers to their new classrooms, install wifi and the phone system.  They will work to get classroom furniture in place so students will have a new environment to learn and thrive.

The auditorium should be ready for use in August 2020, and the rest of the project (locker commons, offices, media center) will be done by the summer of 2021.

We hope you took time to visit the high school during the open house on October 26th.  But if you didn’t there will be another one this spring!

Fruitport Schools Family Groups

submitted by Maribeth Clarke, Administrative Assistant, Fruitport Community Schools

“Family Groups” are new to Shettler this year.  A family group consists of a classroom teacher, another adult, and 20-23 students.  There are 3-4 students from each grade, kindergarten to fifth grade.  Every staff member in the building belongs to a family, from the classroom teachers to support staff, to noon supervisors, everyone is part of a “family.”

familyEvery Wednesday from 10:20-11:00 a.m., the entire school transitions to their family groups. The principal plays the song “We are Family” as a signal  for the fifth graders to pick up the kindergarteners and 1st graders, and the second, third, and fourth graders just go on their own to their family group classroom.  At 11:00, the song “We are Family” plays as a signal to end the family group time. Students then walk back to class.

familyThe first few sessions were focused on building community. They came up with a family name, developed a secret handshake, took a photo, made a pennant with their family name and members’ names, and set goals for themselves. After that, they will take a few sessions to review school expectations:  Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe.

familyThese families stay together until they leave 5th grade and will get new kindergarteners each year.  Students will see familiar faces throughout the building, not just in the classroom. All older students, not just student leaders, will become mentors. This is also an opportunity to incorporate social-emotional learning and mindfulness.  We are excited to build and strengthen relationships with our students and staff.
