So my hope would be that even if it is budget season um that they all have made that evening available. Uh then the the next thing Mr. Chair for you all to discuss and decide upon um is the questions that you'll ask in the interview. Um I did get some ahead of time um which I've shared with you in print. Um and the question is so that what you have in front of you is five you have seven um I would say that you can go up to you can probably add another seven or so if you wished um and still be coming in within an hour um at least within my experience. Uh before we get to that, Tracy, so we need to put an agenda up for Tuesday. Yes. Do we list each of the names on the agenda? Uh you can. Yes, you would because it's the finalist.
I I have to say when we were there, I mean it's impressive the growth and the trajectory that you're on and uh of course we're I think you're putting in all the uh the right treatments to make sure that we stay on that path.
And I don't know if this is anything that is only going to be done for um for residential homeowners, but there is a new program where you can get heat pump um selection uh advice. Joe, I don't know if if that's you want to comment on that and if there's any plans potentially to offer that um to commercial. I mean, that's probably expensive because, you know, they're hiring big uh engineering firms to do this stuff, but um at least in the residential side that that's now uh provided by the city. It was it was announced I think in the charging station. Um I was going to give it as part of my updates. Um which is fine too, but it's good. Yeah, for the most right now it is residential and like small multifamily um is is is what their thing is designed for and they're they're looking at ways because they've already gotten some feedback and some interest from like you know whatever the weird classifications of bigger than small multif family kind of a deal.
This funding has also allowed us to invest in up-to-date inclusive instructional materials, classroom libraries that reflect and engage our student population. We are giving students access to meaningful texts and the foundational literacy skills that we will serve them through throughout their academic journeys. As someone who has proudly served this district for 16 years and as a Clipsson resident, homeowner, and a parent of a first grader at school 9 and a fifth grader at school 5. This support holds steep personal meaning. And as a proud graduate of Clifton High School, Clifton Public Schools, class of 1992, I know firsthand the power of a strong public education and the lifelong impact it can have. The investment you have made through a fully funded budget is not just financial. It is a powerful vote of confidence in our mission, our educators, and most importantly, our students. Thank you again for your partnership and your continued commitment to literacy, equity, and excellent in Clifton Public Schools.
All of that will be outsourced. All the I believe all if the money goes into capital reserve I think we have to outsource that if I'm correct John we wouldn't have to uh capital reserve can be used towards equipment of which then your team can install some of that equipment. Um but I just think practically speaking we don't have enough staff. So yeah, we'd probably outsource plenty of and then roof and parking lots would be 100% outsourced. So that's kind of factored into the estimates for the numbers. Yes, of course. And then um and those are rough estimates, right? Like that's the money we're going to put in the capital reserve. And you know that's why that little squiggly there. It's to represent like it's an estimated number. Um and then uh Frederick might even be able to shed some light or maybe possibly uh Miss McGullik on like the need.
Did you mention what that big supply chain assistance funds was? Yeah. So that those funds were for um during COVID. Okay. And it was for food service and so thankfully we didn't have to return the funds and we can continue using them for dairy products. Okay. So right now it offsets that portion of our food management service invoice. Gotcha. Yeah. And it's it's not over budget. It's there's a glitch in the system where um when we pay on a different line item um it doesn't reduce the incumbrance but we're we can't overspend where it's a cash control account. Yeah. Okay. Sorry, Miss Silia, did you have something? Yeah, I was just wondering is so do you have a a timeline on um you know things that need to be paid for this year and that you know the mortorium. Oh yeah. So um what would that be?
And so that's one that we've been trying to work with NPC to be able to to have that as an option for our kids. And we've got a way that we've worked around it this this year where um kids can take uh biology or something offered through MPC. we still count them as a student, but they're actually going to Xolo campus or to take that class. So, we're going to encourage more kids to do that in their schedule so we can get more of our students coming away with the associates degree. So, it's another both of them in in combination give our students so many opportunities and we're grateful that they they can do that.
So, the base salary for our teachers, we're anticipating we will increase by 1%. So, all the bases across will be increased by 1% across the entire gradation scheme, whether it's for teachers or administrators or support staff for the new ones coming. for the new ones coming in partially because we want to avoid compression as well. So we don't want to have somebody being newly hired at the base rate and having a salary at the same or a little bit more than somebody who's been here for a while. So we've been pretty consistent about trying to avoid that. Thank you. Yeah. Any other questions?
Yes, that's why I said I was going to Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah. No, that that's the timing of this. I thought you said the internet. Oh, no. I meant to the villages because we want to be good partners in this. I uh was at a meeting with the Creek uh group uh this last week and I told them I would share this with this and again just so you know this is all done with AI. Jason wrote the script and the AI then was generated. The voice that you are hearing is an AI generated voice and so it has a nice professional appeal to it. So we can change this if we found mistakes in this we could go in there change the script change the avatar and have it redone immediately. So anyway, so this is again a progressive way that we're going through the district to really showcase the work that we're doing here um to the community.
All right. What's the purpose of pushing it toward the base? It's not going to blow up base of the opponent. Well that's a good question. All right. It blows up. Okay. Hey, you want me to read the uh sponsor of Ultra Win? Ultra Lose. I was like, who's Ultra Win? Never heard of him. I got an idea. How about Ultral Lose? You want to do the sponsor there? Have we started? Yeah, we started. Here we go. So, this is the first one that you know knocks out the other team here, will get control of the robot and push them towards the base. So, as the robot gets closer to your base, it's a less after you die, it's quicker for you to get back to the robot. Got it. So, you don't have to start all the way at the beginning like the other one.
Yes. And um and just to be clear, um the the um applications as redacted um just in terms of the telephone numbers and so forth um can also be posted as part of the agenda if people would like. They certainly can be shared on the website. All right. Okay. So questions. So seven questions here. Um, maybe we should start or how how do you want to start? Do you want to start by looking at these, deciding if you like them, or do you want to start by seeing if you want to add additional ones? We can start with what we have and All right. So, let's start with what we have. Um, you've read them. Uh, I don't know if you want to read through each one of them or just does anyone have a concern about any of these? for trans transparency you might want to read.
So any any questions for Mr. Moore? I I came through the to the walkthrough and it was fabulous. Was fabulous. Kids were engaged. Interesting lessons. Good. Did the debate take place yet on the uh daylight savings time versus uh Yes. Yeah. They debated that unit is wrapping up this week to finish. Do we know how it made out? Because it's very important. You can visit the class during public comments. Yeah, I I don't know. I think it's different in each class. I'm not sure where we're pushing for the the pro. I I know. Yeah, I remember. All right, Mr. Moore. I want to thank the the board for their support. I couldn't do this without you without you and uh so thank you very much for your support um throughout the this year and throughout this process. So I appreciate you. Thank you for giving up your evening tonight.
So that they're starting to look into ways that they could um potentially think about that going forward. But yeah, at the moment right now it is um yeah it's it's it's residential and smaller multifamily I mean what I would sorry go ahead. Well, I would like to comment on this segment of the conversation from the perspective of um like design being currently personally I'm designing and building a house and um so the learning curve that I have personally gone through as well as gone through or helped assist Hback contractors to go through has been significant with regards to how how much even even licensed HVAC installers do not know about the air exchange and ventilation needs of a tight building structure. So, I'm wondering if um it could be possible and I know that there are like state level training incentives for HVAC contractors on on how to design um you know, heating and cooling systems that also um take into consideration very tight uh building envelopes.
Thank you for your time. Thank you. Good evening, administrators, commissioners. Before I begin, I'd like to thank you all for the time and effort you dedicate to leading our district. I respect the balance you're trying to strike between fiscal responsibility and educational quality. The decisions that you make are never easy ones. I'm not here to repeat what others will likely and rightly say. Excuse me. One moment. I'm sorry. Could you please tell us who you are? Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm Lisa Post. I'm the district English language arts coach. Thank you. I'm not here to repeat what others will likely and rightly say about class sizes, staffing, or the excellence of our programs. Instead, I'd like to offer a simple truth. A 0% increase sounds reasonable on paper, but in reality, it quietly dismantles what we've spent years building. Great schools don't erode all at once.
we we do need an overhead and PA system like a uh the speaker system in every building. So those we've factored that cost in and that's also a rough estimate as well. So on the budget presentation it was outlined that uh should we take $7 million this year, right? Um, four items that we would address immediately would be heat pumps uh at $3 to $5,000 a unit and approximately it says here that 700 units need to be replaced. Um, you know, by my math that's somewhere in the range of $3 to $3.5 million right on the high end. Uh, a million dollars for roof replacements at Rice and Deacy. Um, which you know have presented as as critical need items. $500 to $750,000 for parking lot replacements at Deacy and then $500,000 for HVAC controls. Um, and I just kind of want to make myself uh better understanding of the state as as you guys see it, right, of of our schools.
So um we have deadlines that are set by Puma County because our checks do come out. They're our fiscal agent um from Puma County and we can continue pay to pay through August and then in September we can continue to generate journal entries to make any kind of corrections or to if we're overexpended in a grant and we need to put the expenses somewhere else. So, we continue to do journal entries so that we can meet the October 15th deadline of the AFR, the annual financial report that needs to be submitted. Correct. So, we'll be running two years at that time. Yes. Please, President Media. Um, uh, can can you may I please ask Miss Carla to also share in order to meet those deadlines with the county, what are our timelines and procedures in internal procedures uh, so we can close up all of the encumbrances and open POS.
Any questions on either one? Do you go ahead do you guys have Oh, I was do you know how many students are doing the talent? Is it been increasing every year or staying the same? It's probably it's probably pretty level. I would I don't know offhand. I would think um what you say maybe 80 probably 80 kids that are taking at least one talent class or dual it's actually dual enrollment is going to be higher because you know the pre-appet but talent classes there's probably around 80 or so. For whatever it's worth, I would re I mean I I like the idea of kids going to the Xolo campus if they can sit in on the class rather than the I just know from experience that talent class has been a little tough sometimes in the math. I don't know about the other ones but for sure.
I don't have any questions but fabulous job. Fabulous. I was riveted. I really was. And I really appreciate the 2% increase. That is that is really good news. I feel like we we've really made significant gains. So, thank you. Thank you very much. Uh we will now adjourn our work study portion of our meeting and move on to our brief board business meeting, which I will call to order at this time, and ask Miss Wilson to perform a roll call. You want me to do it for you? Mr. Chad Thompson here. Miss Shaina Murray here. Dr. Blake Robson here. Mr. Jesse Brainer here. Mrs. Jill Humphre here. Hello. Everybody's here and I counted four. You're welcome, Gab. Thank you. We have a quorum. Uh agenda item number six, the consent agenda. Is there a motion to approve the consent agenda as it is outlined on tonight's agenda?
Is part of the um concern or maybe my question is because it's coming from us and not the villages. Is it because there's a misconception to the public that the school board is the reason for their tax bill change? I'm just trying to figure out is that why so majority of people if they don't understand it will come here they years ago would come here and be very frustrated and if you don't get stopped on the side you know people will be concerned and the reality is the school district is the largest portion let's call it 65%. Well, the other 35% is made up of the village, the township, the fire uh fire district library. So there's uh roads uh roads township. Is that roads and bridges or is that separate from the township? I think that's so there's different and they don't understand it.
Well, you're starting all the way at the beginning, but okay. It's just a shorter run. So, okay. Because the robots moved closer to you. So, Norwell got the first. All right. And then it looks like we've changed our our character from Sigma to Orisa again. So, we've changed characters. Okay. And we're we're going back here. So, Norwell's up to 36 meters, which I don't know why we got to use meters, but whatever. I mean, yeah, I know you think. All right. Well, you know, we tried to do the metric systems back in the 80s. Remember that, Scott? I do not. I was I do. You're a math guy. Didn't go well. Didn't go well. There's got to be a joke in there somewhere, right? I would think. So, anyway, looks like a great job by Cyber Tigers here. We got control of the robot and Okay, moving them along.
