PULLMAN SCHOOL DISTRICT

DECEMBER 2021

Addressing Misconceptions Regarding District Equity Training Nathan Roberts, School Board Member, Director District No.4

Recent school board elections across the country illuminated a growing concern among parents about Critical Race Theory (CRT) and rumors of its implementation in K-12 public education. Locally, we have received many questions about how CRT relates to the mandated equity training for school district personnel recently implemented in Washington state. The confusion between these two items--one based in law and the other based on an intellectual argument—is understandable, but it is worth examining their fundamental differences. CRT is an intellectual concept stemming from the 1970s meant to provide a framework to view race in America. It is loosely defined in a collection of academic and legal writings that seek to identify and examine the presence of racial bias in existing cultural, social, and legal systems. CRT theories hold that the biases embedded within our laws, institutions, and public policy impact all of us in different ways and that embedded racial biases are primarily responsible for the unequal outcomes seen in systems like education. In short CRT holds that race is the determining factor in unequal education outcomes for students. In April 2021 the Washington legislature passed ESSB 5044, which created a new section of RCW 28.345 focused on “Increasing equity, diversity, inclusion, antiracism, and cultural competency training throughout the entire public school system by providing training programs for classified staff, certificated instructional staff, certificated administrative staff, superintendents and school directors.” ESSB 5044 requires professional development for adult employees of the district and supports training in cultural competency, diversity, equity, and inclusion, none of which are solely based in or defined by a solely racial perspective. ESSB 5504 defines these concepts as follows: “Cultural competency” includes knowledge of student cultural histories and contexts, as well as family norms and values in different cultures; knowledge and skills in accessing community resources and community and parent outreach; and skills in adapting instruction to students’ experiences and identifying cultural contexts for individual students. “Diversity” describes the presence of similarities and differences within a given setting, collective, or group based on multiple factors including race and ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability status, age, educational status, religion, geography, primary language, culture, and other characteristics and experiences. “Equity” includes developing, strengthening, and supporting procedural and outcome fairness in systems, procedures, and resource distribution mechanisms to create equitable opportunities for all individuals. The term also includes eliminating barriers that prevent the full participation of individuals and groups. “Inclusion” describes intentional efforts and consistent sets of actions to create and sustain a sense of respect, belonging, safety, and attention to individual needs and backgrounds that ensure the full access to engagement and participation in available activities and opportunities. These intentions laid out in law and quoted verbatim here are not meant to consider student success through only the lens of race, but to try and determine how best we can help all students succeed by understanding them as individuals, with unique histories and lives. It is no secret that nationally, in Washington State, and in Pullman schools, gaps exist between different student populations. In our district we have significant disparities in outcomes with students from low-income households, students of different races and ethnicities, students with disabilities or who are second language learners. ESSB 5044 provides professional development to help acknowledge these imbalances to better understand the entire context of our students in need and determine what support we can provide. The opinions expressed in Board Reports are those of individual school board members and do not necessarily reflect the opinions or views of the board as a whole or of Pullman Public Schools.

Being Thankful Cameron Grow, Lincoln Middle School Principal As we are near Thanksgiving, Lincoln Middle School is thankful for many things during this 2021-2022 school year. First and foremost, the kids are back in the building. For us, there is nothing better than a loud hallway in the morning as students are rushing to class. It’s something we had missed for many, many months during this pandemic. We are first…thankful for our kids and families. It’s great to be back. Our kids and families are the top “thankful for” for all of our staff. But this article is about those who keep our building running, even when we all don’t see or notice. It’s who does all the things that are so important in what we call “school”. Our custodial staff at Lincoln have gone above and beyond during the pandemic as well as during all of our construction. On multiple occasions this fall, our custodial staff came through when we needed them. Construction has made things a challenge, but they were always around to help. Our custodians came in on Saturdays to help move furniture into the new classrooms. They have come in to help move tables into our new common area in the building. They didn’t do this after their shift…they did this on a Sunday night to make sure things were ready for our kids. During the first few months of the school year, we didn’t have access to our common area for lunches. Instead, our custodial staff rolled the tables out to our blacktop area in the front of the building. They then rolled them into the building in the evening. They did that every day for the last two months. This is a lot of work, but their focus is always on the kids. It showed this fall. There are many words that can describe Rolos, Kent, Thurman, and Bliss. I focus on these two words... Dedicated and Caring. They continue to go the extra mile for our building. I know the same is true for all of our district custodians and maintenance staff. Lincoln Middle School just wanted to show how “thankful” we are for their hard work.

Child Find Screening Age: 5‐21

PULLMAN SCHOOL DISTRICT Ensuring Learning While Challenging and Supporting Each Student to Achieve Full Potential

WHO:

WHY:

WHEN:

All children ages 5‐21 who are suspected of possibly having a disability and reside within the Pullman School District boundaries, and are enrolled in public school or are being home schooled, are enrolled in a private school located in the district (even if they reside in another district), or live in a temporary situation within the district.

Whether or not children are enrolled in the public school, the local school district is responsible to locate, evaluate, and identify children with a suspected disability who may be in need of special education and related services, regardless of the severity of the disability. The Pullman School District is responsible for children who are enrolled in a district school, home schooled children who reside in the district, students who attend a private school located in the district, and students living in a temporary situation within the district boundaries. Any time a parent or teacher has a concern.

John Naranjo named 2021 “Excellence in Education” Recipient John Naranjo, Pullman School District Maintenance Supervisor, has been named the recipient of the “Excellence in Education” honor from our school board! Each year, the board selects one classified employee to receive this recognition. John was recommended for this recognition by Pullman School District’s Executive Director of Operations, Joe Thornton, who was so inspired by John’s commitment to the Pullman School District, his hands-on approach as a leader, and his willingness to go above and beyond to serve our students, staff, and families. John has served the Pullman School District for 14 years! Joe Thornton, shared “John is nearly always the first one at the shop and the last to leave. It is very common for John to come in after hours or on weekends to deal with an alert he received about a freezer that is above safe temperature or a boiler that is not working. It is not unusual for John to come into work at 4:00 a.m. to make sure that a building’s heating system is working correctly. During snow events that require lots of snow removal, it is common practice for John to come in at midnight with the rest of the crew, help with snow removal, and then when the school day starts, work his regular shift to deal with issues that pop up and need to be addressed immediately. This is also a great example of John’s style of leadership; he is always willing to demonstrate to his crew that he will jump into things and work side-by-side with them to get the job done. He does not just sit back and direct people, he will jump in and get his hands dirty along with the crew.”

THANK YOU –

Saturdays from 1-4 pm, and we received extensive railroad themed gifts from the Ken Vogel estate as well as donations from Jon Anderson.

The Pullman Depot Heritage Center volunteers would like to thank all who have supported the depot restoration efforts this past year. As we begin our fourth year of raising funds and awareness, our community partners have generously provided the groundwork of support necessary to begin our Fix the Bricks goal. Work to repoint the bricks on our 105-year old depot began in late October. It is the first step in securing the exterior building façade.

TRAVEL WITH US

We’re encouraging you to join our generous supporters as we move forward in our Fix the Bricks restoration efforts. Your Pullman Depot Heritage Center donations will commemorate the rich agricultural history, commerce and ties to Washington State University by restoring the historic character of the Depot and honoring its role in our region’s development.

Your donations, working together with the Washington Capital Heritage Grant, will repair bricks, the roof, gutters and soffits of the building. Our goal in 2021 of $135,000 to restore window casings and frames will complete our exterior projects.

Come along with us as our Depot restoration works to revitalize Pullman’s historic downtown core. Your tax-deductible end of year contributions will make visible lasting changes. Be part of the change of this exciting project by sending your donation to WCHS/Depot Project PO Box 67 Colfax, WA 99111 or give online at pullmandepot.org.

WHITMAN COUNTY HUMANE SOCIETY

Pullman Community Update 15

Season’s Greetings from the Staff, Volunteers, and Board of Directors of Whitman County Humane Society! We are excited to be entering this holiday season after a year that held so many surprises, so much stress, and so many successes! This year was really difficult for our shelter, as it was for many other non-profits. We knew early on that we were in for a tough year and buckled down, ready for anything. While we had a lower intake than previous years, we saw more highstakes medical cases, more obscure surgical needs, and luckily more support for our staff and animals along the way. This year, we have been able to assist community members needing pet food, offer discounts to Whitman County residents for the cost of spays and neuters, and work with several WSU classes and programs for community-involvement projects. We are happy that so many new people want to be involved with our volunteer and foster programs. So far in 2021, some of our biggest accomplishments have been saving 14 puppies from parvovirus, deep cleaning our entire facility (something that has been needed for a while,) receiving the Petco Love Lifesaving grant that helped us cover surgery costs for several animals, launching our Trap/Neuter/Rescue cat committee with plans to start TNR events around our beautiful Whitman County, receiving grants to assist with the cost of these events, transferring in cats and dogs from rescues far and wide, assisting our county Sheriff in an animal hoarding case, and being able to save over hundreds of animals this year. We know there is still time to do amazing things, and we surely intend to! We are delighted to share our year with our community yet again and let you know that we are still here for you, always. Our staff cares about every creature that comes through our door, furry or not, and we hope you have felt the warmth and kindness the staff brings in every day. We can’t wait for future visits and seeing amazing animals finding their purr-fect families. Annie Lindsey Director of Shelter

Thank you to our Fur Ball Sponsor!

FELINE FRIENDS by Jayden DeBoer, Foster Program Coordinator

Flash: 10-year-old Foo: 10-year-old DLH Himalayan DLH Himalayan Neutered Male Neutered Male (Shaved)

Meet Foo and Flash! These handsome men were transferred in from TLC Animal Care after their owners were put into assisted living. They are a bonded pair of senior brothers looking for their purrfect retirement home. Since both boys are Himalayans, they will require regular grooming/shaving to keep on top of their hair matting. Foo is currently shaved! These boys are so sweet and are just looking for a nice quiet home with tons of treats and some comfy laps to sleep in.

It’s That Vaxxing Time of the Year! The puppy was cute, sweet, furry . . . and dying of a completely preventable disease that is still found too often in Whitman county and the surrounding region: Parvo, a disease caused by parvovirus infection. In a year of enhanced vaccine awareness, it’s important to remember that every year in this country thousands of companion animals die of diseases that can be prevented easily with attention to the regular vaccine schedules recommended by the American Veterinary Association. As we approach the end of the year, lists are important --- and so are vaccine lists! So check the following lists and keep your companion animals protected as they move into 2022. In their first year of life, puppies should receive vaccinations against distemper and parvovirus (at 6-8 weeks); the DHPP (distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza and parvovirus) at 10-12 weeks; the DHPP again at 16 to 18 weeks, along with rabies vaccine; and the DHPP with another rabies booster again at 12-16 months. After that, a DHPP vaccine should be given every 1-2 years and a rabies booster every 1-3 years (depending on the manufacturer of the vaccine). In Washington state, the law requires vaccination against rabies for dogs, cats, and ferrets.

DOGGIE DE-TAILS

by Zoë Skiadopoulou, Training & Enrichment Coordinator

There are a number of optional vaccines that are recommended for dogs. These include bordetella (the canine version of whooping cough; generally required in any boarding or daycare situation); canine influenza vaccine ( a yearly flu shot); and leptospirosis (which can be transmitted easily to hunting dogs in wetlands and to any dog that drinks from puddles). There are also vaccines for rattlesnake bite, which may be useful if your dog runs in areas where rattlesnakes are found (for example along the Snake River). Cats need shots too! Increasingly, veterinarians are finding that people overlook their cats’ regular shots. This can be deadly, both to cats and to humans. While almost everyone associates “rabies” with “dogs” in the same take, cats are actually the animals more likely to bring rabies home in the US today since many indoor/outdoor cats hunt and encounter wildlife that may carry it.

Styx: 1-year-old Pitbull Mix, Neutered Male, 80 pounds Styx was recently transferred to us from Adams County Pet Rescue and is now ready to find a furever home. He is a huge goofball, with a big heart and an even bigger noggin’! He is hard of hearing and sometimes does not quite know his own size, so a home with children 8+ years of age and adopters who are willing to take him through some basic obedience will be a great fit for him! If you are looking for a goofy snuggle bug, he might be a good fit for you!

CONTACT

In their first year of life, kittens need to be vaccinated against Feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus and panleukopenia (FVRCP); kittens should get their rabies vaccine at 12 weeks and another FVRCP booster at 16 weeks. At risk kittens should get a fourth dose of FVRCP at 16 weeks. At the one year mark, they should get another rabies vaccine and another FVRCP. After that, it’s another FVRCP and rabies booster every 1 or 3 years, depending on the type of vaccine used. There are also other vaccines for cats, including a vaccine against Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV), which should be administered to any cat that goes outside, a vaccine against Chlamydophila Felis, and one against Bordetella Bronchiseptica, which should be given to cats that are boarded. Fortunately, the puppy mentioned at the start of this article didn’t die, but that was only after he and his brothers and sisters (some of whom did die) spent two months in intensive care lockdown. While they were in intensive care, no other dogs could be admitted to the shelter . . . which cost more money and ultimately required the shelter to go through an intense, expensive deep cleaning to avoid any chance of passing on Parvo to other dogs. 14 little lives, 2 months of intensive care, 1 closed shelter --- or one vaccine! The choice seems obvious. So as you wrap up the year, make that list and check it twice: are your pet’s vaccines up to date? For referrals to where you can get vaccines, call Whitman County Humane Society at 509 332-3422.

Giving Gives On from Rueben Mayes Dr. Ed Tingstad operated on my right knee last January and provided excellent care. I am back on my feet, active and able to exercise better. My personal experience as a grateful patient is replicated everyday through the hard work of Pullman Regional Hospital staff and physicians. COVID-19 has not swayed their commitment to providing the best care possible, every patient, every day. Philanthropy has also made an impact on care at the hospital. Over 800 donors gave $2.3 million last year to support staff, equipment and space. These dollars provide the margin of excellence to enable the hospital to provide quality care in our region. Please consider making a gift today to help us secure vital robotic-assisted surgery technology that provides faster recovery, healing and outcomes for all patients. I have experienced firsthand what our surgeons and staff do every day to get us back to normal life. Your gift will benefit staff and physicians at Pullman Regional Hospital. They deserve the best care environment so that you get the best care when you need it. Please consider a gift today!

You Give.

PULLMAN REGIONAL HOSPITAL

Charles Gunkle Received DAISY Nurse Recognition Award Charles Gunkle, a registered nurse with Pullman Regional Hospital’s BirthPlace, was recently honored with a DAISY Award, an international nurse recognition program for nurses who go above and beyond to care for their patients. Charles was nominated by a grateful patient who described him as caring, respectful, and invested in creating a supportive, comforting environment. “From our first interaction, Charles made quite an impression. We immediately felt that we were in safe hands. His clear communication inspired confidence in the entire process,” recalls the grateful patient. Charles’ career at Pullman Regional Hospital started in 2007. While not originally trained as a labor and delivery nurse, Charles found there to be a need in the area, so he began attending trainings and reading materials to help him feel confident in the often women-dominated area of labor and delivery nursing. Now, Charles is a neonatal resuscitation instructor, has delivered 6 babies on his own, aided in the delivery of countless others, and is a source of comfort and communication for patients in BirthPlace. To learn more about the DAISY Award, or to nominate a nurse at Pullman Regional Hospital, please visit pullmanregional.org/daisy-award

It meant the world to my family that he could heal my father..”

Pullman Regional Hospital’s Guardian Angel Grateful Patient Program provides patients and loved ones with a way to say “thank you” to a physician, nurse, staff member, or volunteer that brought you comfort in your time of need.

The Food & Shelter Folks

Donate to the Community Relief Fund to Fight Homelessness this Holiday Season Did you know Pullman has no homeless shelter or warming/cooling shelter for people without a roof over their heads? Homelessness has always affected folks in Whitman County, who tend to live doubledup with friends and family or in motels. However, since the pandemic Community Action Center has seen more people without any type of shelter than ever before.

Thank You Community Congregational United Church of Christ for Your Community Relief Fund Donation!!

When folks come to CAC in crisis housing situations asking for transportation or related needs, our current grants and contracts often cannot help due to funding restrictions. Two clear examples: transportation costs for individuals to locales where they can be sheltered with family; and costs for overnight or short stays in local motels for crisis housing where the household is ineligible for particular housing resources. The Community Relief Fund makes it possible for Community Action Center to meet immediate shelter needs, so folks are safe and can then take steps toward long-term housing stability. The Poverty Awareness Taskforce launched the fund in 2013, and Community Action Center administers the fund and provides the services for people experiencing homelessness. Funding pays for temporary crisis shelter or for transportation. We use funding as it comes in, so the dollars in the fund determine how many people we can serve! We always have far more needs than funding and our staff has had to be very selective about which situations are best suited to use of these funds. Please donate to the Community Relief Fund today and help us reach our funding goal of $10,000 for 2022 so we can serve at least 60 people experiencing homelessness with crisis shelter and transportation. To donate, visit https://www. cacwhitman.org/ donate/ and note “Community Relief Fund” on The dollar amount of funding in the Community Relief Fund each year impacts the number of people who can receive the memo line. crisis shelter and transportation.
