Any questions or comments from the board? I just have questions about uh increases uh that I saw. Um there's a notable increase of 12.3% in special education spending. Um which rose from 18.2 million to 20.4 million. Um, and I understand that it's essential to support our students with special needs. I just would like to get more context um, as far as the factors that are driving that increase. Um, if we can get a breakdown of that. Um, there's also a 18% increase in student support services. Um, and I I don't remember I thought I asked at the last board meeting if we can get a breakdown of what that covers. Um, I'd like to see that as well. And then, um, instructional support staff, that went up 20%. Um, and it looks like majority of that is, uh, salaries and benefits. Um, but I'd like clarification to know that is is it in fact salary and benefits or is it a adding additional um support staff?
You're going to have the choir booster. You're going to have you're going to have the NJR or the So you want a financial accounting saying I think that's what how our policy No, I'm just I'm just clarifying. So, I think you need to figure that out because if they're separate entities, I don't know that they they they don't think legally if they're separate entity if they can divulge without having a policy in front. But I think again the intent is to if it's a out if it's an organization out there that equates themselves to creep that the board wanted to at least see hey show us your financial balance at the end of the year or whatever your balance your financial sheets income statement cash flow statement you know I'm sorry just for clarification because I don't think I'm understanding what do you mean by equates with 2011 well again you mean associated uses our name or not equates like well I I'm I'm saying not not well maybe I guess that's why I'm not like here I am a booster club I'm the booster club of of cremon 2011 you oh and you're using cremon leather letter head and all of that I'm just saying that's that's that's what I'm saying you're affiliating that outside entity is affiliating themselves to creep no and that's fair I think where I'm confused is there's not a booster for the district and I think that's where the confusion is.
All right. Good job. Talk about process a little bit. Makes sense. Yep. Okay. Great. So we've gone through them all. Congratulations. That is a lot of work that we've done since last summer. The goal will be Claudia will send you pretty much a final draft next week. Um, knowing Claudia, she may get it to on Friday um because she's up to date. We did add the one thing uh that Mr. Shler mentioned about digital citizenship that is in there. We put that in there. Now, what did we put that under? Belonging. Yeah. running environment. So we want to look that in. Yes. Y one thought that I do when you're done. Okay. um with the goal of bringing this to the board, you basically have first reads and with you providing feedback from next week over the course of two weeks with a hope I think the board chair said with the hope of approving the strategic plan at the June meeting so the administration could prepare for the year next year with 5year strategic plan.
I'd especially like to thank Miss Krauss who made a difference for me in elementary school. My future plans are to work and continue and continue pursuing my interest in history. Anthony Griezac, I want to thank my parents and all the teachers that have guided me with their endless support and encouragement throughout my high school career. Your guidance and belief in me have made this achievement possible and I am truly grateful. As I move forward, I plan on attending UCCCS to study criminal justice in hopes to become a deputy sheriff for the county. Thank you all for being a part of this milestone in my life. Games grow. 1,366 days, 1 hour, and 15 minutes of wearing myself out are finally coming to an end. I can thank only four things for this amazing accomplishment. My mother's in insatiable desire for my well-being. my father's unquenchable zeal for my future, my God's unstoppable care, and my own unfailing procrastination.
And so I think the plan should be paused. look at what you know what uh the population uh increases are supposed to be because I have read that the ones that the uh commissions have been working on are not accurate don't line up with SIMCOG and other estimates of population increase and those of course are very important factors right and we do not want to destroy turn you know tree city Ann Arbor into you know just a a Manhattan cut down all the trees and just have 20 story buildings. We do not want that. And and so, you know, I think there's a moderate something in between, a third way. Thank you. Thank you. Hello, my name is Richard Dokus and I live at 1243 Marbor Drive. The idea of adding businesses to neighborhoods is not a good idea. My family's experience is a good example.
I don't I've not been to that site now. You haven't seen? Not on August 4th, 2024. Thank you. Okay. Um the development would strip the land. The land lot three is densely vegetated. You would agree it it is wooded. It is. It is wooded. Would you call it densely vegetated? I I don't know a tree survey to to Would you agree that the vegetation absorbs storm water and holds soils? So I am not a storm water um you do not know. I I'm going to answer your question. I'm not a stormwater expert. Um I think that uh we can indicate that keep going that we can indicate that uh the applicant has to meet stormwater regulations and that's per COA council on affordable housing rules as to what can be considered developable. Okay, that's how I can answer. You are proposing 25 town houses. Some of these questions might be more appropriate for our engineer.
And so it's not always easy to be in the cafeteria with all that noise. And this girl, thank you for always trusting us that we're trying to do what's in the best interest of the kids. So we love having also Miss Marie Fleming who is um completing her 10 years of service as well. also will make sure she gets this at our staff meeting. We also have Miss Fanning is celebrating 30 years of service with Continental and she has a little slack. It's a little bookmark with a little bookmark that says the school and the children have truly truly been enriched by your gift for teaching and their choice to share it. So, we'll make sure that Miss Fanny gets this as well for her 30 years of service at Continental. So, thank you all very, very much. We have a lot We had a lot to celebrate.
President Wade, member Van Hook, um, please remember this is not actual expenditures. What is presented is the budgeted expenditures that we anticipate spending. So, but you have to remember when looking at that page, I believe it's page uh one, the M salaries page that you look you referenced, we also they don't provide a line for our contingency. So, the $21 million we have to put into these numbers as budgeted funds because they don't give us a separate line item to break that out. I believe we talked about that before. So, but I can certainly um provide some more context in regards to our um increased uh anticipated budgeted expense for SPAD. Um we in we continue to um see increased sped costs across the board and Miss Miller could provide that, but we can certainly follow up and provide that information for you. That'd be great.
They are a booster for their independent group or team or activity. But do they use Creep Moni in any way, shape or form? They would use that schools logo or sports like kind of like the athletic they're called the Warrior athletic boosters. They're not associated with Cremon at all. Okay. They did that was done years ago because back and I'm not going to use a name but when the we had a financial person in there that there was a lot of things that was changed and there was no official affiliation with the school for sure. Can I have do we expect our council to be here next week? We always have counsel here. What I can do is I can look at the um the policy. I can discuss it with council and who's ever on for this clear. I thought you'd like that. Yeah, we clear it up.
The the thing that will be important is I know we're starting that meeting at 5:30 because we have athletics uh award ceremony and I know there's some of you that are possibly going on a field trip. What we will try to do is put this at the end of the meeting for those of you that may be getting on a a bus and doing it virtually. that we'll do the vote towards the end of the meeting um to see if if he got any closer to to canon. Um but that's where I think we are Mr. J was that if we're trying to approve this, you you'll have a pretty good final draft next week with all the feedback that you had and over the two weeks we can send this out with any changes that have been mentioned to a client. We also talked about potentially sharing this application.

When we moved into our house in 1973, a next-door neighbor had a stained glass business that he ran out of, a building in his backyard. He held classes and sold materials for making stained glass windows. He would smelt lead for the glass channels. And on uh one morning, I caught him dumping uh with the aid of an employee a very heavy container of smelted impurities on the gravel road in front of my house. Having a degree in both biology and chemistry, I knew the danger that these tailings posed as they contained impurities of heavy metals. Judging from the difficulty that they were having just moving it down the road, I knew it contained lots of lead. I saw the city attorney who was at that time in 1980 Bruce Leela. He sought to enforce the zoning restriction of operating such a business in a neighborhood in a residential neighborhood.
Well, our planner has proposed 25 town houses for this lot. Would you agree that that means there going to be 25 or more motor vehicles coming from these these dwelling units? There is more likely than not to be have more than 25 25 to 50 to per Mr.

[Music] What's the deal? going down. Let go, wait, wait, sorry. [Applause] I agree. All right, back from our break. Um, next we have the district appreciation discussion. Yes. And so with this item, we in the past we used to add all of our donations and thank yous to the principal's report, but since the principal is not reporting at every meeting, we're going to start putting it on just as a information so that the board is privy to all of the donors that we've been receiving. And I just want to um especially thank a lot of the donors at Rotary. I announced that we were collecting gift cards for our um state assessment for our students who showed improvement and maintain proficiency.
Thank you. and also the the doubling of the debt services expenditures which goes from 10 million to 20. Um is that part of the line item that you're talking about? I can speak to that. President Wade, member Van Hook, that that is a um exact replica of us preparing for our debt payment. So our debt payment fluctuates every year and that's just a larger payment in which uh we have this year. Uh we anticipate that um we have a couple years of high payments and then those will they'll go down after we pay off some outstanding debt from the 2013 authorization. So Okay. Thank you. All right. I motion that the governing board approve the revised expenditure budget number three for fiscal year 2024 2025 as presented. Second. I'll give that to Mr. Glover. All those in favor I I I motion carries 5. This brings us to 8.2 approval of M override resolution.
And like I said, this is just going by me just scratching the surface years ago. Yeah. And that's how you know going back and I could definitely be wrong and I probably am, but let's get clarity on it and meet the spirit of it. Okay. Thank you. All right. Thanks for the challenge, Jamie. Bill. Oh, no, no, no. I'm not challenging. I was just looking for clarification. Same here. I'm all good. Like whatever we want to do. I was just trying to understand. Same here. Okay. And um are we done with uh new business or have we not started it? No, old business. Old business still. Okay. That was all. Okay. Yeah. And then uh Jamie, I think I think this counts as old business. Uh last week the all the comments that were coming in for uh Mr. uh Mr. Maine and stuff like that.
Correct. If if it's approved, you'll be able to share this at the closing ceremony with staff, sharing that the work that you did in general sharing that the board, but and then in the fall, we really hit the the staff with the strategic plan. Everybody good with that? And you were on the June 3rd. Yeah. Everybody okay? Yeah. I just just one comment on revising. Um, I could be wrong. It's just my opinion. Um, the word continue. Which one? Well, it's throughout the whole document. Oh, I'm looking at even the old stuff. I feel like the word continue shouldn't even be in there. It should just be offer ongoing, develop, uh, provide. Like continue should be like a document like this. You want to at least as little, you know, not worrying the more you get right to the objective. It's kind of like with students, you don't put on the the the dry erase board.

The EPA became involved since the contamination took place close to a drain which leads directly into the large underground tunnel from Alice Creek. The results showed that the roaded was contaminated with both lead and arsenic down at least 6 in indicating this wasn't the first time he had deposited the waste on the road. This led to a protracted case over three years before the ZBA and then the circuit court of county before Judge Edward uh Deak. And I'll give you the file uh number in case you want to look it up. This took place over three days. Uh uh the uh uh court proceedings took place over three days starting on July uh 17th of 81. I have copies of not only the court case but the ZBA rulings if you'd like to read them. We had a young son at the time whose whose kidneys ended up being uh severely damaged.
