Um there'll be some uh take-home meals for the weekend. Um so I'd like to thank Shelley for put together this plan with Chartwells. Um certainly, you know, it depends on participation in summers. In the past, we've had to make adjustments if participation is, you know, not where it needs to be because we also want to make sure that we run a viable uh food service food service program. So, it's depending upon uh participation, but we have plans uh through through July um most of July um right around mid July.

Again, nothing overtly threatening, but there are multiple ways to contact us here, email. We have mailboxes at the administration building. There is a level of boundary crossing when it comes into your home. And I don't know that I need to say any more than I said last time, but as Terry said, when you have people making comments about you personally and now that department is sending things to your home address, we have children. We we have nobody nobody wants to feel threatened whether explicitly or implicitly. And that was also my first feeling. Um, in terms of the budget, I I also feel like I said what I had to say last time. I I still stand by I would have liked to have seen us take half to restore the cuts and not put the entire state burden on the taxpayers. Um, I you know, we we do need everything.
Leford, that's five minutes. You need it in Garfield. That's all I'm saying. Title two pays for it. Title two can provide the funding for it.

What kind of message does that send to students going into an industry if we can't even support local unions coming out to our schools that says they support unionized education that that's your local 21. If you want students to build and restore their communities, you need to give it the same kind of visibility. having posts about Skills USA video content, having career readiness posts just as much as committed days to said universities, making sure that you highlight those areas because if you don't support our industry, our form of trade, our education, and not put it on the same pedestal, you alienate community collaboration. I know you guys can fix this. You can fix this for the next generation and the next class coming in. But just know in vision 308 and your story is just going to be a plan if you don't fix this.
Um but the state um projected increase for BCSSE uh preliminary projected increase 3.6% per student in 26 and 2.1% per student in 27. That's a little bit misleading. I think this is correct that um the we used to collect textbook funds through rental and in the past couple years since the state stopped that they had a special grant that went to curricular material and that's now rolled into um to that budget. So those increases are, this is my estimate, but they're inflated by probably about 1% um because of that rolling into the to that funds. Um I can be corrected later on those numbers. Um and Senate Bill 287 affects us as schoolboard members. Beginning in 2026, candidates for school board must declare themselves as Republican, Democrat, independent, or nonpartisan, which means the party designations left blank. Schoolboard races will not be included in primaries and will not be included in straight ticket voting.
Um we'd love to have board representation so as those fit into your schedules, we can work through that as well and let you know about the great opportunities. It's one of those years time of the year where it's a sprint and then you sprinkle in all the referendum stuff that's on top of it. It's it's yeah, it's a marathon sprint. So, appreciate you guys though and your continued. It's nice to know that circulating. All right. Uh moving on to other business 6.0. celebrate. Yes, sir. It's a reminder. Just want to kind of echo what Dr. Terrell said. I should have assumed you would compliment or thank those for helping out, but I don't think we could say it enough. participated a little bit on my end. I should have done much more, but when I was there, see the to see the amount of work going into it.
No program. Yep. Okay. Can I get a motion? So moved. Second. Have a motion and a second. Any further discussion? Hearing none. All those in favor? Any opposed? Motion will carry. I have approval request for to hire four summer bus cleaners. Yep. So, this is something that is uh customary every year. Um and Russell has put in his put in his request. Uh essentially, there's a lot of work to be done. those buses take a beating throughout the year and we want to get them cleaned up and polished and ready to go for next school year, but also ahead of the state police inspections and so essentially this would allow him to hire some help to do that work. Is this specific to anybody open to the public to is there like a specific group of people that he hires? Yeah, typically they hire a lot of uh bus drivers or maybe some some IA.

That was incredible um experience for those kids and staff and community. So thank you. Um 12 is the grant for the anchor easement at Andrews. We discussed that at a previous um work session. So I just wanted to draw your attention to that. uh the Viking uh green team. We've had multiple um um presentations on that. So, the approval process is what we're looking for um there. Um we we continue um to be so supported in this community on a variety of fronts, but financially continues to blow me away. Um, I'm asking for donations of $61,314.91 uh this month. Um, which is just so incredible that the support that we continue to get um from our community and the grants that are being written.
Stops, goes back, passes to Richards. Richards heaves it on the opposite side of the field. New marker picks it up. passes the plane. He's running it down. Passes it to Olsen. Olsson little step back there. Going to run it behind the goal line. Passes it to Fowler. Just over a minute to go. One 11 one on the clock. Fowler in the corner. Dishes up to Hart to Atwood who jumps and snags it to Hart. Hard little shove. Another shove. Passes back to Fowler. Fowler. Nice pass up to Atwood. And Atwood trying to go around Atwood. Unreal. Atwood just wouldn't be stopped on that one. And that was the the answer the Raiders needed. So, good thing Atwood uh circled back and was able to find the space to make that shot. That was a lovely play. Yeah, Fowler dished a nice pass to him and and he missed his initial shot at the goal and he just like ran in a circle and had another opportunity.
Spartans have 45 seconds to go in the third quarter as M. Whiter has it. Mac Whiter over to Mckne. Mcknney over to Whitw. Whitwer feeds one into Jordan.

This sacred vision was brought to fruition in 2010 when we established our presence at 105 MacArthur Avenue. For a decade, we faithfully ministered as a modest congregation numbering between 50 and 75 devoted members. However, following the onset of COVID 19, the pandemic, it has been a great challenge for us. We were left with just eight people in our congregation. However, today we are we are seeking a sanctuary large enough to accommodate a flourishing multitude of people because since CO 19, our church went from eight people to this Easter weekend in the city of Garfield, gathering 950 people year after year, year after year, our church has multiplied exponentially, doubling, tripling, and quadrupling. And it's a just a testament to God's favor and providence. Today, we are looking to to gather in a home in Garfield, but we don't find a place large enough. And we are looking for a home in the city of Garfield.
As a reminder, we we just spoke about it briefly. Uh these salary schedules, you'll see a difference of a 1% increase of the base uh uh on all these salary schedules and uh that's to obviously to u ensure that we keep competitive and honor those that want to work in Daizart.
