What happens with Medicaid? uh Jen Corey and the team up there have done a very good job over the last couple years of increasing the amount of Medicaid we have coming into our our uh district. Therefore, we have excess dollars in there. What do we do with those excess dollars and how do we move forward with them?

We're expecting to pay expecting to pay this much for curriculum, which again with what Dr. Fountain did, we may have to pay less. So, we may be in a better situation.

Um and especially when you're in those public safety professions, that's really just not how you're built. Um, and uh, you know, I think what I've been hearing is just how dangerous it is for them also to operate at the levels that they are. Um, and what's going to happen or what I'm afraid is going to happen is as the town grows and we still say level um at our service levels, the impact to each of them is going to be more significant and more significant and eventually they leave and then you start getting a reputation.

So, the certified stuff is all legit. What will happen with classified administrative is we'll just change the dates. Um and that way, um it will be communicated uh to staff. The way the communication's going to go to staff um is that tomorrow at some point in time there will be my district update which I send out several times during the year. It will essence take this slide presentation and put it into a one pager front and back. And so that way it'll go to all the staff and the staff will be able to uh look at it on the one pager that goes to them will be a link to this um presentation so they can look at the presentation at the same time. Now, it's redundant, but for some people, maybe this looks better than the one pager. Um, so we're trying to get the communication with the contract release.

Um, not only did they lose that, they lost practically half their department who felt like, well, if, you know, there's the support's not here, you know, they for their safety, they want to go to a community that they feel does support them. So, they ended up having to contract out their ambulance service, um, you know, not do it in-house anymore. So, there's a lot of stuff that that goes into this. Um, I think >> you know folks, it's not uncommon when you see medical personnel heading off to a call and you see a response of a police cruiser going along as well. Uh, emotions are really high at that location where they're responding to, especially if there are family members there. and medical personnel are there to treat the victim and the patient that they have to deal with. Most cases, the the police officer that arrives is dealing with the family members that are upset, they're emotional, and they're trying to keep the peace in the calm so that the the medical staff that's there can do their job to to maintain a level of, you know, health for that individual and of health for that.

So, >> so go ahead. >> Would this be a standing committee? >> Yeah, that's why did we didn't add Hocket. >> My only feedback would be that I not opposed to the committee in any way, shape, or form, but I would like Bill to be involved in the like initial discussion of it because he would be the administrator running it and in charge of it. So, I don't know that I'm comfortable like making the decision to make it a subcommittee tonight.

Uh but to answer your question um we have done pretty much everything on the checklist that the lease um office have given us um sales district sales community has given us a resolution and sales uh district has approved a resolution. They just need to send it to us. Um, I did um run into uh um the uh members of the sales district and they told me that they have it signed and then they just need to send it. But the there's a few steps that I'll get more into detail when when I present the lease updates, which is number 10. >> Okay. Well, I think they had a lot of good things to say about the school district in regards to, you know, our continuous education programs that we provide. Um, I also, um, signed up and attended the Bolts training and I, when I went, I, you know, saw everybody from the Arizona Schoolboard Association.

And they're not significantly different. So, we have to make a decision. You could say, okay, well, the first option got uh more points, and so that is the one we're going to come to consensus about. In some cases, I would say not in this one because it's it's you have two options. Do this or do nothing. In some cases, you're going to have other options. And if the points were very close, you might advance both of them for the purpose of consensus. Um, in this case, we need a decision about one or the other. There not other options around this, if that makes sense. So I wanted you to see how it works, how everybody gets to decide through an objective lens of standards how we evaluate the option through those uh through the lens of the standard. >> Okay. In I think when we do some other things later it'll >> possibly it'll look it'll let's see what happens.

Just please know uh information was sent out the asked the leadership team to talk to their to their staffs um this week on what these dates were going to be. Uh we have this presentation here with these dates. We'll have the district update that goes out tomorrow. We'll remind staff next Wednesday of when the district update or when the contracts are are due. uh in the case of class certified staff, excuse me, we will remind them again on the 23rd when we come back from spring break. Um then we will go ahead and take a look at anybody who's not turned it in and we'll ask the the administrators to go talk to their people individually between the 23rd when we get back and the sixth one is due. Just so we're very very clear. Obviously, it's nice if everybody filled it out on March 17th.

And sometimes it can get a little uh it can get a little scary and sometimes the officer may have to, you know, detain an individual because they're just so out of it that they're in they're impeding the u the medical treatment of their of their loved one though they don't realize it because they're just so emotional. Um does it happen all the time? No. But it does happen. And so that's why you see all those responding offices. And then if you have to carry a patient, you know, from a stairwell, you know, second floor, third floor. I mean, some a lot of these new places now have elevators. Before they didn't, and you were going down a stairwell with that, you know, with that individual, it takes it takes personnel to carry that down along with the stretcher and everything else that goes along with it to take it.

So, >> Bill and I did have a conversation about it and um and I guess one one of the only questions we'd have about it and and I guess uh maybe I just need to look more carefully into the bylaws, but um what maybe someone could help explain maybe the difference between like an advisory committee versus subcommittee of the board like it this wouldn't be a standing committee, right? >> Well, >> I guess I'm trying to understand that because I think there are very specific standing committ Sorry. Go ahead. >> Yeah. So um the whole reason when I spoke to Bill about it he an ad hoc committee would have to be done within a year and he doesn't think the work right the conversations would continue for longer than a year. So that's >> but he could have an advisory committee. So he could have a committee that runs under him.

I said, "Well, I'm here. This is where I started. And um basically I just wanted to see if there was any new updates or changes um from um from before or during the time that I hadn't been to a board training. Basically, there really wasn't. Everything pretty much stayed the same. I think it was really good information though for new board members. Um they covered the um uh education session legally legally and effectively. They also covered um um what do you call it um the policies and practices um supporting um and there were two sections. One was for board members and then they separated the secretaries and superintendent to a to another session which I didn't go to that one but the ones I did attend had to do with um what I just mentioned. Um also they had somebody there doing presentation on budgets.

It'll in this case to your point it's and if this or that in other cases it you can have a lot of options that actually may move forward. Okay. >> Okay. So now given that um the original the first option h does have more points, I'm going to look for consensus around moving forward with the district moving to adopt the precision product with the parameters of a 55 minimum age and a $10,000 minimum or minimum payout. So consensus, let me remind you, I fully support it. I can live with it. I have more questions. Okay, so let me look around the room for initial thumbs on moving forward with this precision product. Okay, I see two thumbs down. Dorothy, you have a question about it or >> I guess a question and and a statement. Um I as a small district I don't feel I support the idea of the district sa saving money obviously I'm always looking for things that around that.

Life would be a whole lot grander. That's more than likely not going to happen. But I just let you know that we're making sure we are very clear with staff when things are due so that we don't have any concerns, issues uh that that may occur. So when we build the budget, uh basically we're going to assume a 2%. I am not hearing anything down at the legislature that's going to change that. Um so I do believe we will get 2%. There's not a lot of money down there, but I believe they understand that they owe us 2% based on on some lawsuits. So, I've not heard that that's going to be uh difficult. The difficulty that may be is that we may not get a budget until May or June like last year. So, you're going to have to go ahead and make some commitments to staff like with contracts before you know the final number.

I know >> recent weeks too, you know, it's hard not to think about the challenges that you all of our public safety officers have faced with the snow in the way, right? >> And it's absolutely it's >> Yep. >> Yeah. Last night was a prime example. >> We had that snow came down. It came down with ice and the combination of the two. They they call after call after call within within an hour's time frame. if they didn't have one, they had close to 20, you know, cars off the road, cars flipped over, things of that nature. So, yeah, it's not it's not uh it's not a pleasant task and I I hope everybody understands that it's not it's not all it's not all griev they're up at it.

It could have a member of the board on it but he would run it based on like when he wanted to essentially. So it wouldn't have a timeline. An advisory committee is more like he would call the meetings. a subcommittee would be required to be have three members of the board and um be subject to like all of the same >> that bylaw sub I was trying to like in between our conversation today I was trying to understand the difference in >> I wonder if it's a an a um >> yeah just an advisory committee >> correct in which >> so so that's it would just we have to just consider what a subcommittee means it would have need to have three board members would be subject to the same >> you know posting and I don't know that a subcommittee of the board could have teachers and parent representatives and things like that.
