So and Mr. Murphy we have money for this. We do. Yep. Like I said right now just to be really clear all these items and we're going to talk about one more after this. If we do all these items you're looking at a little under $240,000. Okay. And we've spent $400,000 less this year than we spent last year. The other thing is it's not energy efficient at allact it's supposed to be energy efficient but if you're heating and blowing the heat out at the same time yourself well this way we can use up this 195 that we only yeah $19,000 sitting on the table so the auto would that has to be used in that one of the other things I know you mentioned But um it does allow for an app control. So like Tim and I could have an app on our phone.
So if someone was using the gym and it was too hot or too cold without Tim or I coming over and adjusting the controls, we could do that from an app. Um that just saves, you know, anybody can say, "Hey, I'm using the gym. I need to adjust the temp." then just a little easier to well it allows you the capability of hey we have something going on for instance graduation hey I can change it prior and I don't have to be here so it could be hopefully cooled by time or heated by time that so right now if we would go in there it's running um if a student would go in there and turn the thermostat down to 60 degrees it would run all night and it I without us checking it every single day. Like they have it's completely accessible and there's no way for us to put um cages on them because it messes with the thermostat.
So there's there's quite a few reasons for it's probably a good idea. I would recommend I would entertain a motion to accept the bid to install the new thermostats as presented. I'll make a motion as presented. Motion by Josh. Second. Second by Allison. All those in favor say I. I.
Any opposed? Same sign. Motion passes 70. And the last capital outlay item I want to visit with you guys about, we did this when we did the walkthrough um at Central Plains Elementary School and talked about their playground out there. Um it's my understanding that Central Plains Elementary School has raised about $10,000 towards that project. And also their booster club, the PTO is willing to look at helping with Lions basketball goals and those sorts of things. Put a $5,000 concrete project as well. Okay. So whenever whenever we met and talked about the the Hollywood modular unit at one point um we talked to the concrete contractor about what the estimate with that would run and he thought around $35,000. Now this we would have to bid this out. This wouldn't be anything we can do right now. um if if they're able to have that much money to put to it, I would um like to recommend us trying to come up with the extra side of that at Capital outlay to fix that before it gets worse than it is with the concrete pad out there.
Again, no motion's necessary from you guys, but if you're okay with it, I'm going to seek out three bids if I can get a get a hold of the guys and get somebody out there to look at getting that done. Y is everybody okay with me? Yes. Mr. President, I move that the board go into executive session pursuing to the Kansas Open Meeting Act to discuss non-elected personnel for the topic of certified staff classified staff supplementals to protect the privacy of individuals to be discussed with Mr. Murphy present and return into open session in this room at is it 20?

I move to approve the resignation of Emily Thompson as a preschool teacher at Central Plains Elementary School effective at the end of the 2024 2025 school year.

And we return to open session in this room at 5 9:05 with Superintendent Bobby Murphy present. Motion by Josh. Second. Second by Allison. All those in favor say I. I. We're back in open session. On to item number 21, superintendent report. Okay, so just a few items. Uh been in contact some with Lee Birfield on our modular setup. He's having a hard time right now reaching out to our contractors to get prices on things.
It's just a really busy time of year and he's trying to get some of those numbers. He only heard back from two of them. So, we're still waiting on what those numbers are going to look like on the modular units. We're also working with uh staffing and scheduling for next year with our administration each building. We do have our KISSA check-in day with Amber Miller on Thursday, May 1st. Um, our sixmonth Kissa goal was to as a district leadership team gather stakeholder feedback to grade collaboration guidelines and expectations to support alignment for all grades. And we're at the process of trying to get a survey together to gain some of that feedback feedback from our faculty, staff, and stakeholders. Uh, we are also in the process of completing our purchase orders for our teachers and our faculty for next year. We did get an email for our health insurance.
Uh, this one's a little concerning. our Green Bush Health Trust that we're a part of uh for our health insurance for our employees have decided to switch to a partially funded self-funded insurance model and not to renew with Blue Cross Blue Shield. So, they are having a meeting on April 24th at Greenbush to discuss what this looks like for each school district. So, I can't really give a lot of insight on what that's going to look like until we attend that meeting. um does make me a little bit nervous on what that self-funded insurance model is going to look like for us. So, I'll get you guys some feedback on that after the meeting. Um is there any objections to the district making a $50 contribution to Rough Neck Reinforcers on behalf of the uh Brody Flu Hof Memorial? That's all I have. Um, item number 22, board member reports and any open agenda items.
That's my addition to open agenda. I put that in there just as a reminder for the dates for to file for election or reelection to school board. Um you can see June the 2nd is the deadline. Uh filing fees 20 bucks. Um but primaries needed August the 5th regular election in November. It's a four-year term and um you will start the second Monday in January. And those are the three that are up for reelection. So, I just that's just a courtesy so you guys kind of know because our next meeting I had to file with the county uh clerk's office to let them know who was up. So, I got my letter in in time. But then I just wanted you guys to know all that stuff. I think so. Yeah. Okay. And items for next month's agenda. So, we'll have personnel on there with our certified and classified lists.
Uh we got a little bit of work to do on that. We'll have some more negotiation topics as well. Um, and we'll see where we're at on the capital items that we had down this month that we did not have any motions on uh to get bids secured for those items. Okay. I'd entertain the motion to adjurnn. Motion by Alison, second by Josh. All those in favor say I. I.
Any opposed? Same thing. Motion passes. 70. Thank you everybody. Appreciate it. I did not wrap to take home or whatever share in the library. She's being kind. We're saying these ladies are going to go to get the chicken wrap. So, it's all You know what I mean? How you doing?

Korean school district understands that our community of schools is located on the ancestral land of the Oamjud and Ekimoam people who descended from the Hohokam and have inhabited these lands since time immemorial. The Oam whose name translates literally to people are a vibrant culture in communities founding countless generations into the past, continuing to thrive in the present and carrying a powerful legacy for generations into the future. With this acknowledgement, the Kraton School District formally recognizes that the traditional care and keeping of these lands by indigenous people is an aspirational model of community stewardship that we are committed to honor with practices, policy, and human relations. And with that, um, Dr.
Uh, good evening. I'd like to call the April 15th meeting of the Ashland Board of Health to order. Um, the first thing on our agenda is citizen participation. Do we have anybody for citizen participation? Seeing none, uh the next thing on our agenda um is the annual Mary Mortonson public health award presentation. Um just some brief things. Um so Mary Mortonson was a longtime board of health member for many years here in Ashland. Um this award was created eight years ago. Um this is in recognition of Mary's contributions to public health and her contributions to the town of Ashland. Um some of Mary's um accomplishments. I actually have a large list. Um but I want to just highlight some of the more important ones. Um uh Mary was one of Ashland's first female call firefighters working on the department from the late 1970s to the mid 1990s.
Welcome everyone to tonight's matchup for the East Hall Spartans as they take on the Minichok Falcons. Last year, Minichog had a record of 9 and 10.

They're looking to change that up against the Spartans tonight. Got Kenna Marino on the draw as she kicks the ball. It goes all the way over and Calib will get possession and East Salom look for their first opportunity. With the ball, throws it over to Trulio. Trulio makes her way in. Cuts it back out to Marino. Marino over to Mack Whitw. Mack Whitw makes a move. Comes in through one, two, nothing there. She kicks it back out to Trulio. Trulio goes oneon-one. Gets it and hits it off the back post.
Um, I don't know if anybody's online, Mr. Sabala. Okay, no worries. Just just making sure. Uh, otherwise for the record and for the stream, um, it's kind of an informal meeting, basically a study session to kind of get information based on what we're being presented.
