And and again, it ends up being it's your vote and you're saying, "No, we want this added back, this added back." Okay, great. I'm I'm good with that. It's still going to be a 2.55. It's just we're going to use more. >> Yeah. My my my challenge is >> it's all >> you have such a better feel for uh the impact of choosing balance point A or B than than I do. And um I would feel just personally me not speaking for anybody else that if I were to apply saying hey I would have to be having a long conversation with you before I would say oh let's move the let's move that left or right or up down or whatever the case is. Right. I I think you know another key point is that 9% take the 450 take school choice out you're at 8% of the total budget is funded through grants and onetime funds.
Um again, we expect a lot out of out of our staff members and and they've delivered. Uh I also want to take a moment and thank um the members of the business office. You know, we spent most of the week um in the office in and out working through some some of the number crunching. Uh as Dr. Tomco mentioned late night conversations, whatever it takes to make sure that all of the the prep work is done, things are evaluated, things are re-evaluated, and so that that we can withstand um the challenges that we're facing. We know that we've had some some department shrink over the years from um you know uh from many changes in administration here um and and that's our reality. So so we're at a point where we've got some very tough decisions to be to make. Um, one of the other things that that I just want to make sure that we talk about in terms of increasing costs costs to our district, our out of district placement, um, those costs are increasing significantly.
Got you. Yeah, we also had a conversation at one point about how a lot of stuff spills over between students and staff and when we made the policy manual change, there's a number of policies that provide specifications that are then applied to both students and staff equally. So that was part of why when we did the renewal, Katie made the recommendation for what we should just include staff policy on this. Got you. Thank you. Okay. Um maybe limited when they're found to be a disruption. Okay. Sorry, I was just trying to look cuz I was like I don't know if we double-checked student attire. Um [clears throat] I don't really feel like we have I may it might be good for like Katie and Jay if you want to talk to the other um board members and see if there's anything in particular, but these just feel these next these ones that I'm looking at right now I feel like there's very little wiggle room outside of whatever the statute is.
Good evening. My name is Mara Barker. I'm an honoral student at Desert Sunrise and I'm also a varsity cheer captain. I'm here to speak about Miss Jasmine and the impact she has had on my life and on so many other students. [snorts] During one of the hardest time during one of the hardest times [laughter] of my life, losing my father this year, Miss Jasmine was there for me in a way [laughter] she never had to be. But [snorts] she chose to be because she cares for students at Desert Sunrise, even when she wasn't able to directly reach out. She was still she still found ways to make sure I felt supported, comfortable, and safe at school. And that means more than I could ever explain. Coming [snorts] back to school after such a loss was not easy. But unlike any other teachers besides Coach Garcia, she welcomed me back with open arms and unconditional love and care.
Let's get ready to rumble. >> Oh, does a foot stool. Does a sidebe does a forward air and an up special up to 39% already. That is awesome. >> It very much is >> doing plenty of forward airs and a power junk. What a power move and an up special on top of all that. But Cloud's got his >> Cloud has his limit charge and he happens to hit Harry with it. That's a very dangerous position. Oh, but he should have used his limit on his up special because Cloud has officially failed his recovery. Unfortunately, failed recovery for real. All right. All right. Starting off with a cracked shoe and a and a power fist. That's awesome. >> I think they sent in the cloud expecting the metropyro >> because I'm pretty sure cloud does counter me. >> Oh, well that's good. If I played Mithra Pyro, that is if I played Sephro, we would have probably been in >> Well, we saw how that went the first round.
So, it's a workflow process all the way through. Um contract teacher contracts they will have the capability to digitally sign them. they'll come over um possibly even an opportunity that as a board you'll be able to digitally sign them too instead of handwriting them all out. Um and then they'll house be housed right in the in the program. Hopefully we can get away from piling cabinets and paper and those kinds of things. So >> other questions, comments. >> Okay. Thank you. Thank you. >> With no more questions or comments, I'll entertain a motion to approve the Tyler technology purchase as presented. >> So move. >> Second. >> Any other questions or comments?
So Mark to your question of like our use of onetime funds why don't you use that? We don't know if those grants are all going to come back in. You can make a very good argument that you know we're relying on a substantial part of our recurring budget to be fulfilled through the grants. like it's a very unpredictable federal state funding mechanism right now. Like you want that school choice money to be there in case like what if one of those grants doesn't come through? You can't just stop providing like an ed you know whatever educational service. Um so that's like maybe another way to go at that you know concern that people might have. It's not only deferred maintenance oh the fire alarms. it could be also you, you know, loss of this recurring funding. Um, >> yeah, I I don't misunderstand. I'm I'm uh I fully appreciate why we need to take a measured approach in all of this.
Um, we are expanding our special ed programs. We are, um, we're accommodating more special ed, um, population. With that becomes the cost of teachers, the cost of power professionals, the cost of child study team members to support the families and the children. Um it's you know it's been um it's been a unique situation sitting on this side um and working alongside Dr. Tomco um and his insistence that we bring in the best people. We bring in people um if we have people with experience and if the people who interview find teachers that are worthy of our students that belong here that can be a part of this great team um that we believe we have um we go out there and we try to bring in the best people for our district. So, um I think I think that's an exciting thing for members of the community.
Um with the exception of We already go through all of the We did the staff search one already? Uh-huh. That's right. I forgot. >> get to hazing and I don't think we did that one. >> Hazing prevention. And where did I think I did a search. Could you search for um gang in the quick search and see if it come pulls anything? Student freedom of Student freedom of expression, student attire, student code of conduct. Okay, so it's under both 5301 and 5305 probably is where they split up the stuff from like Oh, do you want to search for secret society? >> [laughter] >> Can we add secret society? Oh, they took out secret societies. Yeah, cuz remember these policies are are pretty specific to state statute. Yeah. >> Yeah, so they must have had that back in the day. So yeah, maybe I guess maybe go to 5305.
She didn't treat me like another student walking through the hallway. She treated me like someone who mattered. And she does that with many students at Desert Sunrise. Miss Jasmine [snorts] creates an environment where students feel protected, encouraged, and understood. The things she does for students at Desert Sunrise as pushing us to our limits and our strongest version of ourselves. She teaches resilience and not just through words but through her actions. When you think about leadership, I hope you think about the lives being shaped behind the scenes. The students who show up every day because someone made them feel safe and strong enough to do so. [snorts] Miss Jasmine is that person for many of us. One last thing I want to say before I leave this mic is Miss Jasmine. If Miss Jasmine was aware of the situation and the issue in hand with no doubt in my heart, I know she would have fixed it immediately.
You You took him down. >> Yeah, that is fair. But I didn't do plenty of rolls from Terry over here. Hopefully, he knows that the more rolls he does, the worse his roll gets. His intangibility frames go away with the more rolls he does. >> So, he's got to make sure he doesn't roll too much and only roll when it's necessary. Oh. >> Oh, and a shield break. Oh, and does a forward smash and and Cloud has charges limit. Not only are his special moves better now, he's also faster. How's How's Aiden going to get in? Oh, >> he can just get him off stage. He's going to waste it. >> That's true. >> If you if you watched my match, he wasted his limit on recovering. And he could have jumped. He could have jumped that one, too. >> That's true. All right. And look at that.
>> Hearing none. Roll call, please. >> Steve, >> yes. >> Greg Bington, >> yes. >> Rex Bner, >> yes. Alan Wilson. >> Yes. >> Tim White, >> yes. >> Andrew Adams, >> yes. >> Robert G. >> Yes. >> Thank you. >> Brings us down to item 8.8, police car purchase. >> Well, we're on a roll here. >> Talking about wheels. >> Wheels. >> That's right. >> Uh, so you've seen quite a bit of information come out in the last couple of weeks about an SRO car. I apologize. some information now is not available because these car people if they can sell a car they're going to sell it no matter whether we are looking at it or not. So um you have in front of you um three vehicles uh that was sent via email today. All of them are Durango. A couple them are local.
My um my thinking, you know, given the difficulty this town's had in >> passing overrides, >> um and thinking about people that I've talked to who generally are very supportive of education, people who quite frankly probably have the means to absorb the increase. um more often than not in in their tax bill are still, you know, sort of struggling with this, right? Every I mean, let's face it, we all know costs are up for everything right now. And um you know, when I the gut is like, why don't you just do that, right? I mean, everybody wants it for up for free basically, right? I mean, we all we want, we don't want to pay for it. Um and so it's it's really just heightening trying to heighten awareness around the idea that there is going to be a segment of our community that is going to see >> particularly like the numbers we're talking about right if we're talking about $4 million in one time funds that's a massive amount of money to everybody as individuals right so it seems like that how can that not solve all the problems >> we run a $50 million operation it doesn't solve all your problems >> um and so I'm just really trying to sort of highlight that concern um but also as I'd share sort of my thought on this is >> if if there are people out there who feel like well you got enough to get through this year right um my response to that should that be the vote of people is going to be okay then the it's going to be a $5 million ask next year or something again I'm speaking for myself like we haven't we haven't had this conversation um in this level of detail until now >> um I'm thinking more about you in terms asking going to be asking for some feedback back.
Um but it becomes a challenging things for us in the office and and we continue to work through them together. So, uh I appreciate the conversation um you know uh with with the business office, the conversation with people on the academic side and and them allowing me to still moonlight in that in that space. Um but it's been a very productive uh few weeks. It's been a very challenging few weeks. um but one that we know is going to put the children and and the members of the community uh in the best position moving forward. >> Thank you, Mr. Libu. Uh there are no committee reports this month, so I'm going to open up the meeting for public comments on agenda items only. Are there any comments from the public regarding agenda items only? Seeing none, I'm going to move to ask for res a motion on personnel resolutions 8.1 through 8.23.
I think we've done that one already. >> one? Student conduct? >> one's the same. I think it's it's like Um or 5301 I think is the other one maybe. And maybe we already looked at both of these after Did we look at both of them after we adopted this manual, though? We You guys just went through 5300 and 301. >> Okay, so 5301. Did we go through 5301? >> 301 No, I don't know. Okay. That's the one that I just put. The two that I know for sure that we haven't looked at is 5305B, which is about wireless devices, and student freedom of expression. Those would be two probably good ones. That might be a good starting point especially if we're bringing a new teacher member or two on board. Why why don't we just stand those two up for the next meeting and then if if you wouldn't mind Adriana seeing if either of those individuals you're thinking of would be willing or even if both of them would be willing to join us cuz we might bring both of them into the meeting and one decides to stay and one decides this isn't for them.
She is someone who wants to grow in this position and an impact on the community. Also, [snorts] I respectfully ask that you consider the lasting impact she has on students before making any final decisions. Thank you. [applause] >> Siobhan Johnson. >> Good evening. My name is Siobhan Johnson. I'm a junior at Des High School and I've been for the past three years and an honorable position for the past three years. Um, I'd like to speak on the effect that Miss Jasmine had um on the students. Many students, including myself and staff, has been positively impacted by Miss Jasmine. We confided in her. She was there for those who did not have anyone and there for someone who need to get things off their chest. She portrayed a good role model figure and helped many students who could not get help or assistance at home. any student whether they knew her or not she welcomed them with open arms.
He actually he actually lost his limit. Oh, that's a shame. >> It's a shame for them. It's amazing for us. >> Yeah. All right. Does an upbe right back on the stage. Does a sidebe and a forward air on the shield. Thank god Terry was shielding right then and there. All right. Oh, and does an up smash. Woo. That is awesome. >> That is be awesome. >> That That be awesome. That'd be awesome. >> Awesomely awesome. So, it looks like Terry's in a pretty good position. Does a forward smash to get in an even better position. like both in percentages and on the stage. He's got the cloud off the stage and he's seeming to control the middle stage just piling on the damage. Unfortunately, he didn't shield the get up attack, but Cloud does use his neutral uh with limit of course. Um and he misses Terry, so he kind of wasted it right there.
Uh one of them is from John Jones um which does most of the business in in um Miami County for for police vehicles. um they cannot get pursuit vehicles um at our local Chrysler dealer. So that is why that one is in there as well. So uh you can see the three on there. Um I don't really have a preference. And I talked to Wayne and Wayne I think he said I would be tickled if I had any of these vehicles. >> That's correct. Um it was Wayne because I wouldn't say tickled. I thought that was a little weird. >> Tickled pink. >> Tickled peak. Okay. Um, so you can see those three vehicles on there. Um, obviously if we're looking for the lowest price, it's that vehicle one. It is a used vehicle. Um, the highest price obvious vehicle too. Both those are local.
Um, obviously I'm sure we've all been thinking about this, you know, because we've had months of >> happy with the service and you want to not unbreak all the things they built >> and there's other risks out there and it's educating people as to what those risks are. And I think it's worth stating for especially for some of us who have been around from from the last override and even before that, you know, all these years that we've we've spent trying to work with other boards and coming up with the right solution to present to the community. I mean, if you didn't watch the first true two um tri board meetings, um there was nobody in the room that was um suggesting that we do not need an override, right? like this is this is unique in that it's like at least it's the first time since I've been around in 15 years that you know the folks on the finance committee, the folks on the select board and all of us and you know I mean people have different minor concerns with within that but it's >> we need an override.
>> I'll make a motion. >> Mr. Garba second. >> Mr. Quillis. Any discussion? Roll call. Mr. Libu. >> Mr. Diaz. >> I. >> Mr. Otto. >> I. Mrs. Assan. >> Hi, >> Mr. Keelz. >> Hi, >> Mr. Gaba. >> I >> Mrs. Peteri, >> I >> Mr. Fino, >> I a motion for resolutions 10.1 through 10.20. >> I'll make a motion. >> Second Gaba, Mr. Mr. Gaba, Mr. Quillis discussion. >> Uh yeah, Dr. Tomco, can you clarify 1018 for the public, please? >> Yes. So 1018 1018 is a a state contract uh for the the uh lease purchase of computers new new uh computers for the middle school and high school students. These are onetoone computers. The computers that we are um that we have now um are basically computers that were purchased um straight out during CO days from some of that um era money that was given.
