So, I I don't see how we can uh the council can approve a resolution if we don't have it in front of us and so forth, but I just don't see that. Um I have a couple more if it's okay. the um I think letter E was crossed off um the excuse me the affordable housing the um the original resolution G to execute an agreement with Habitat for Humanity for the Bori Avenue is is there an agreement that we can read? Do you have an agreement already? >> That's in that's why we're not doing it tonight because we only have a draft and Mr. Serenian is still working. That's why he said to carry it until Wednesday. >> Okay. So, can you if you don't mind, I was just got in. What resolutions are we carrying over to Wednesday? Can you just refresh our memory here, please?
Okay. Next item is the class classified retirement finance analyst. >> Yes, Mr. President, members of the board. Um, Gloria Gutierz, finance analyst has submitted her retirement form schools as of February 27th, 2026. There is no board action necessary. This is a study session item only. Okay.
It is a snippet. It's kind of like a it was only one test per grade. Some were math, one was English. and it mirrors what the um AASA is supposed to be. So you can see that we have had growth. If we were to take the AASA at that moment, we would have had growth except in ELA. So I've been doing tiered intervention. Tiered intervention would be Friday school. So we have targeted math intervention. We are averaging 30 students every Friday that come in for math intervention. Is so exciting. The entire math department's there. We have advisory academic intervention. So advisory, you can think of that as our home room. We've been pushing math all year except now we've pivoted to ELA. We're focusing heavily on vocabulary. [clears throat] Uh one of the initiatives that we pushed out this year for all staff is trauma-informed teaching practices.
All right, for fifth grade, >> you could stay there. She's coming up. >> For fifth grade, we have Naomi Asencio. No, it's okay. >> Way to go, Josh. >> I talked to him.

Every club that was up here has a table to represent their club and what their missions are. So, we ask that everyone who is here can go around and see every club and ask questions and get to know the students more personally. The section will be approximately 45 minutes and then we'll all come back later on. So, please get up, explore, and learn something new. Yeah. I'm just like, what happened? 30 minutes. They won't know. We'll just come back. Okay. Yes. The is it Boulder Hills dance? And then you want four, right? I can't help you. We could have your attention. Hello. Hello. Hello.

They're going to give you an amazing show tonight. So if we could turn your attention to them.
How Oh, wait, sorry. No worries. >> [laughter] >> Okay, how has your club or activity helped you talk and share ideas with others? So, I'm from Oswego East Model UN Club. My name is Arush. And the way our club has really shown me how to communicate with others is by really showing me how to solve problems by working with others. Model UN is where students get together and work under the pretense of countries such as Japan, Russia, any country really you can think of under the UN to solve problems. Model UN has taught me how to present to a group of people such as the group we have right right here to solve a problem through communication and collaboration. Thank you. Moving on to our next question, how have you learned to listen and work well with others? Can I please have the representative from the Special Olympics raise your hand?
>> Any discussion? Hearing none. If we could take a vote. >> Stacy Salt. >> Darling, >> yes. >> Jason Janick, >> yes. >> Katherine Potter, >> yes. Julie Jetty, >> yes. >> Bridget Sandlin, >> yes. >> Mindy Hartman, >> yes. >> Okay, that motion is approved. Open session ends at 6:05 p.m. Thank you everyone.
But but you know I always say that there will be a day when we go oh I remember Nate Rio. we gave him accommodation because you're going to do great things and Avon will ride on the wings of that. So, thank you for being such um so great at what you do um and being a super um uh great example of what hard work and perseverance mean um in the face of you know just being able to prevail year after year. Congratulations. >> Congratulations on all your achievements. I mean, that is a list that is so impressive. Um, what is your favorite part about wrestling? Is there >> Well, congratulations. Like I said, you've been up here before and you're up here again this year. I mean, like that's some impressive and you know, good luck in college. I'm sure we'll hear more about you.
Halen has truly stepped up going above and beyond in every aspect of her coursework. Most notably, she's taken a full command of the school yearbook. For Halen, this isn't just a lecture or an assignment. She treats it as a vital responsibility to our entire school community. Her sharp attention to detail, her creativity and design, and unwavering commitment to meeting deadlines are evidence of her professional level work ethic. What has been most rewarding for our teachers is to witness Halen stepping outside of her comfort zone. Her increased interaction in classroom and her pride in ensuring every page is completed with excellence set a wonderful example for her peers. So hey Lynn or if anyone sees her tomorrow, thank you for capturing your school's history with such dedication and leadership that you've shown. Congratulations. So, Maddie Anderson is a hardworking, dependable student who consistently demonstrates a strong commitment to her responsibilities.
Um in alignment with the new state standards and the frameworks. the frameworks take the standard and then branch it out so that you can see the vocabulary that goes with the standard sample questions that go with the standard and experts in the field. Um, and then this year we looked at that state approved list. Sometimes there were seven or eight books that were approved and sometimes there was one book that was approved and we'll talk about that in just a minute. We narrowed that list down. every middle school and every high school science teacher was on the committee. Because in high school, sometimes you're the only one that's teaching the course. Sometimes there's two or three people teaching the course. In middle school, it's such a small group of people, it made sense just to let everybody come and sit around the table and have that discussion together.
So >> second Christie all in favor 70. We'd recommend that Leap Supply replace a set of girls and boys bathroom petitions in the west annex of the high school. >> So moved. >> Second. >> Katie Dan. All in favor? 70. >> We'd recommend the approval of the cleaning and fireproofing at the middle school intermediate school stage curtains. >> So move. >> Second. Jill Christie. All in favor? 70. >> We'd recommend that precision control systems replace two failing Java application control engines at the middle school. >> So move. >> Second. >> Java Katy. All in favor? 70. >> Our transportation director is recommending the purchase of Stopfinder software for $1,800 a year. This is non live, but it provides information. So, it's not what we had before that didn't actually work correctly because of lack of internet service in some parts of our district. >> So, second Christie, all in favor 70.
Rosie or Miss Starky and or me and we'll talk it out. So, this is just your reminder. It'll be on the consent agenda every month. So the consent agenda is conflict of interest minutes the February 9th 2026 executive session minutes the February 9th 2026 regular school board meeting personnel recommendations donation request treasures report for January 2026 and claims. Is there a motion to approve? >> So move. >> Note made a motion. Is there a second? >> Second by Mike. Is there any further discussion or questions? With none, we'll vote. Uh, all those in favor signify by a sign of I. I. >> Um, same sign for opposed. With none, the consent agenda is approved. We have two presentations tonight. First up is our lead nurse, Laura Beetti. We have a manual to look at. This is our This is our This will be our first reading coming up of what she's presenting.
That's what's known in this game as super armor. So basically, super armor allows a person uh or a character, I guess, in this sort of context to take damage but not actually flinch. So they can finish up their move even though they took the damage. Oh, tries for a back air even though even though the link was uh to the left of him, he tried to hit him towards the right. All right. Does a down throw and a forward tilt, launching Link off to the left side, launching off a cannonball, which misses. Ooh, does a roll, but since he's so big, Link was able to hit him anyways. Oh, and he countered. Wow. It is pretty surprising that uh Link started holding that so so soon. Oh, does a forward smash. Oh, and an up smash too. Knocking Ash your second stock down. What was once a close game, what was once a not close game has become a close game.
So that's why you see the decrease and then the increase. Um and also part of the increase of other programs is the um charter school or charter tuition assessment and I'll talk a little bit more about that on a different page. Um we did go through every single line of the budget to see where we could make adjustments. Um and part of that was reducing some of our print materials in the support services, but we also had to increase in school administration for our um copier and printer contract. And then in central administration, we did reduce supplies and travel from there as well. And in uh IT, we reduced some funding for technology equipment. This was in discussion with the IT director of what the needs were going to be for FY27. Um, we had to make an adjustment to our utilities to align with the actual costs that we were seeing.
You just got to guess right now. So, >> right. I would say like for the most part, you know, like so we really also can't award our slots until >> closer to the school year. So, you know, James like you know from experience like we're we can't award those slots because we're prioritizing certain criteria. Some people choose to make other decisions, but for the most part, I would say people that get on our list, they expect to get a slot and are planning to come to us. Now, there might be two to three a year that say, I might have to make different arrangements because I can't wait anymore. You know, we might lose a kid or two for a year or so. Um, but I I do think with that change, the community capacity is going to to be something where we I mean like I need to talk to like so we have kind of like the history of preschool has changed in Burlington over time.
They have the food bank that feeds the children of central Kansas during the summertime, which is June to August. And those meals go to Hollywood uh Dorance. some of those one schools. I'm I'm I don't don't know all the details, but I think Deanie might. Um so, um the next one, uh Wilson Senior Center sends hot meals, shares information, entertainment, and social interactions for many of these area communities, including sending 30 meals per day every Monday through Friday to Hollywood. Uh we have youth programs that are very active church 4 scouts. Um and like I said, this is going to hurt not only the Wilson community but these surrounding ones as those volunteers with their generous helping hands possibly have to go somewhere else. Now back to my summary. The education of in this rural area there are the anchors of the families especially the young children but you provide emotional psychological and social support.
>> Sure. Just let me pull out the agenda. We're going to carry C. We're going to carry F. We're going to carry G. And we're going to And A is E is no longer valid. That's removed completely. >> A and B. No. C FG >> FG are all gone on Wednesday. >> No. Well, no, not C. C is carried to the next meeting. >> All right.
Any questions on that one? Next item up there with approval of additional hours in the finance office for Leon. >> Yes, Mr. President, members of the board. Um, with the retirement of a finance analyst, the administration is requesting extra hours for Susana Leon, 6 to 10 hours during the week. Um, we like to have her here for 35 to 40 hours during spring break and possible summer employment. Susan will work in both the library and the finance office. And there you have an attachment. This is a practice that that is done in other districts. So, we just follow the best practices have a finance animal school that when we have sudden uh sudden things like this, whether it's a resignation or this is a sudden retirement, it happens real fast. And so um we have a pool of candidates to choose from and Miss Swingon is is our next most qualified applicant that we feel is ready to step in and start to help.
So keeping the kids in the classroom, not kicking them out when they have a trauma like a an overreaction to something from that's trauma-informed. And then administration, Mr. Campatitali and I have been really supportive with our tier 2 and tier three interventions. So if the kids are really naughty, pull them out so all the other kids can learn. Another thing we're working on is culture and engagement. We came up with a new mission statement as a as a leadership team. So it's ignite the spark. I took the the leadership team up to LOL Observatory and we did a little leadership retreat. Um we've started this thing called byite-size learning to ignite the spark. That's monthly choice uh many mini PDs for the teachers. But the best part is it cost us nothing. It's led by staff and district leaders an hour a month. Um we've had an increase in unified sports growth.
As system Do you want someone to take a picture for you? >> Well, you sure you got Okay. >> You sure? >> Okay. Thank you all very much. Congratulations parents. I don't I think this goes without saying, but you should be extremely proud. There's 180 kids in each grade and they selected one this month in each grade and your child's represented. So she's very proud of that. Thank you. >> All right. Again, congratulations. You guys are more than welcome to stay for the rest of the board meeting, but um it's super exciting. But if you want to leave, feel free to do so. >> Thanks again for coming and congratulations to all the students. >> See you guys. Thank you. >> First time we've had kids scared. >> Oh, okay. All right.
