Uh, Kansas Gas is going to also have to extend the meter. That's going to be about $2,500. That one's not over our threshold. And I skipped one, so I'm going to go back up. So, our dirt work um from Abe Prosert was $12,750. that does include some of the drainage as well. Um, and that one's underneath the threshold to that $20,000 mark, too. So, sewer from Ker, uh, the sewer hookup for Kerr Electric was $6,842. Uh, water from Ker Electric was $6,382 as well. And then we also have the drainage that Abe Proer put in a bid on for $6,500. And then if you remember right, we talked about the playground drainage where we poured the new concrete foundation in the building. There's still that little goalie there that's holding water. Abe shot us a bid for 12,300 to get that water out of there and divert it away from the school.
>> So moved. >> Second. >> All in favor? I >> all opposed. Hearing no opposition. The motion carries. Now, before we begin this portion of the meeting, we're going to have some presentations made and we are going to hear all the presentations first and then we will allow for all questions. Please be considerate. There's a lot of people here that would like to talk. So hopefully your questions will be concise and not repetitive. If you hear the answer to one of your questions that you had by somebody previous, let's not try to, you know, replay that again. We are going to hear from the burough administrator first. We're going to hear from our architect Anthony Iino second. We're going to hear from our engineer Mr. Hill third and then we are going to hear from our chief um uh Chief Olsen. So now we'll do is Mr.
We just have to let them know that it limits what we can do for your child if your child does not have the form. >> You think it's a stigma or you think it's just you just don't do it? >> I don't think it is a stigma per se. It's just not seen as important for some people. So, they don't do it because a lot of them do not really understand that it's tied to funding. And even some of them who do understand that it's just not something that they're on their priorities. >> Do you know if all of them are very stupid? >> Um that I don't know. But from my understanding of the students that I have interacted with and students I know yes they are. And you said without those forms there's some limits as to what services you're going to >> right there are certain things that they should not be participating in because they are not registered where their 506 forms are concerned.
Although it's middle school sometimes they do but a lot of times the big ones the big behaviors are usually uh because of a a trauma. So to and not only to just keep that in mind but to really get to know the kids and to make sure that they know what the kid is going through. So, um that helps with our out of school suspension, I think, because those are the big behaviors usually. Um and, uh getting to know the students really, uh brings those behaviors down. >> Relationship building, relationship building, relationship building. And with the trauma informed, it's having the teacher also recognize that maybe they're having a reaction and they need to be the adult in the room and calm themselves down and then deal with the small thing so it doesn't spiral into something bigger where Katelli and I are suspending them.
>> Yes. >> All right. Uh, does anybody have a question on the resolution authorizing the dismissal of a fourth year probationary teacher for reasons other than reduction in force? >> Can I please have a motion to approve a resolution authoring the dismissal of a fourth year probationary teacher for reasons other than reduction enforced? Do I have to read this resolution? >> No motion. >> Second. >> Ash and Vivian. >> Yes. Yes. >> Yes.
I learned a lot about the different opportunities they have and I'm glad to hear that they're all finding a sense of community in their schools. >> I have to um second what Dr. Martin said as people are leaving in droves. But anyway, if you were still here, here's what I would say. Um well, there you go. All right, to all you folks at home. Um, I also would like to thank all the students and all of the representatives have put in some hard work and um, it just again goes to the phrase the future is bright. Uh, we've got some real talent in various and and sunundry areas inside this district and it's great to see it uh, shine as it did tonight. >> I don't have much to add but I concur with what everyone else said. It's really exciting to see the enthusiasm of our young leaders.
Thank you. Okay. Hi, I'm Ava Rose Micalon from Oswego High School's National Art Honor Society. And I'm Lynn Ramirez, the Vice President of the National Art Honor Society. Okay. So, now for your question. How has this activity helped you keep trying when something is hard? So, a lot of times for our activity, there's a lot of different um coordinate things that we have to make sure that students are doing. For instance, one of the main things is making sure that students have enough service hours and they're getting out into the community. Um in order to make sure that they're keeping doing those things and keeping active in the community, we have to push out those things and make sure that those students are getting really involved. So, just being really adamant and being really open about how it's really important to share art with your community and to just be really close to people around you.
Then we switched to diagraphs, didn't we? Okay, so next were our diagraphs. >> What do you think? Good job. when >> that actually is a real word, but that is a word we have not talked about before, isn't it? Good job, friends. What if I do diagraphs on both sides? >> That's not right. Don't do that. Nope. Okay, let's do this one. >> Fifth. >> Okay. What about next? We went to our double Fs at the beginning, right? or at the end. Okay, let's do this one. >> That a word? >> No. >> And then right now we're working on blends. This is now they're falling off. Okay, ready? Let's do this one. done. >> Good job. The next step that we'll go to is I think in a couple of weeks we'll just slide all the way across and they'll quit tapping them out and they'll read it.
We didn't get through all of it previously with your administrative team. We're going try to do that in 30 minutes here tonight. And you'll have it electronically as well. So, it can also be stored on your server and referenced that way. Okay. um kind of walking through our agenda for tonight. First and foremost, we'll just do a quick recap of kind of who is performance services, kind of our company experience like and our team members. Why are we qualified to have completed this assessment for your district? I want to make sure we kind of go through that. Um as well as kind of then sharing kind of the main purpose of this assessment. So what's the purpose? What's the goal? There was a lot of time and energy spent uh by all individuals. what are the results you can expect to get from from that facility study and then kind of sharing our key findings.
But now, guys, we're now facing um in the next two to three years, uh English language arts adoption is needs to be in the next two years because of that six-year cycle. And then we'd have reading for elementary. So, we're kind of in a a phase here where it could be the next two or three years where you're going to be going through an adoption cycle. And so your question you're going to ask me and thank you for asking is Jay where's this money coming from? It's a great question. I knew Ryan was gonna ask that so I'm I'm ready Ryan for everybody. It's a great question. Remember back when Becky Smith was our virtual CFO and up until January of 2025, that curricular fee was separated from the education fund. And then they married that uh one-time gift the state gave us of about 750,000 if remember that state reimbursement probably never to be seen again but that would sure help because I just shared with you 498,000 750,000 boy that would do our adoption every year but that was just a one-time gift I think and we're not expecting that to happen moving forward the education fund then in 2026 includes the curricular materials and that's about 1.5 million that sits in that account in our education fund right now that's earmarked for textbook adoption.
Then for then I'll have a reading or sensory barn. So, inside I'll have reading chairs for the kids to sit on. Then I'll have sensory floor tiles. So these tiles will provide deep pressure input which kids can find calming and it helps reduce anxiety or over stimulation. Then on one of the walls I will have sequence tiles and these can provide tactile input through brushing, swiping or drawing with fingers and it can be calming without an overwhelming movement. Then on the other wall I will have mirrors and these provide visual stimulation without sound or motion. And then it can also help kids regulate emotions by allowing them to see themselves and their behaviors. On the very back wall I will have an activity wall which is what the rainbow is up there. And this gives kids a way to regulate sensory input, build motor skills and practice independence through play.
I mean, you don't have to stay, Laura, if you don't want. I don't anticipate any questions to you. It's first reading, so it's up to you. You can you can stay if you want. >> I'll stay. >> Okay. We took a five vote. Five vote. You're crazy. >> You should have failed. >> Um, next up, Columbia. You're up again. >> Yes. >> Come on up. >> We've already been given the warning that it's nice out and that we should hurry along. >> Are you being bullied by your peers? >> Not repeated. One time it was only once. >> That's a mean moment. >> It was not me. >> That's what I called. >> Plug it in a little more. my slides. >> That sounds about right. I heard you did her slightly. It's not me. >> Thank you. >> We prefer snacks. everyone. >> Well, thank you so much for allowing us to come and speak about Colombia.
Yep. Their fiber internet service. If you are in the market for internet and phone service, check out adamswwells.com. That's adamswwellswwells.com. And while I've been rambling about Adam Wells, looks like the enemy team counterpicked to a cloud. All right, so it's the same it's the same process as the previous round. Up. Do not throw that crown. And if you do, don't hit anybody. There you go. Jump off twice. Jump off twice. Look at that. That's good. Look at that. Cloud is just spinning that sword. Look at that. Alrighty. And they're taunting and they're ready to go. Let's do this. All right. Does a neutral air gets away from the down smash. Good job. Good job, Asher. Ooh. Yeah. Cloud hitting with his own projectiles. Oh, and hits with plenty of smash attacks. Oh, puts him in the blunderbuzz. Oh, shields that. Okay. Does a dash attack and a neutral special.
Um, one relatively small question. I had heard in an Ammerst meeting that the um, insurance increase was 8.3, but I see it's listed as 8.5. I know that is not a significant amount of money, but I'm curious if you can just clarify that percentage. >> Um, I'm not sure where the 8.3 comes from. I know the different plans there are a range and we settled that the overall is 8.5. Um, so I I think that's might be the difference depending on which plan. >> Thank you. And then another relatively small thing, I think on page 15 of the budget book with the choice revenue and budget support, it's showing the budget support for 27 as um based on that previous conversation that you were just >> Oh, correct. No, I changed the graph and I forgot to update the chart. So, yes, thank you. I will make sure that's fixed.
Um, because our and then our our our time span in between the last girls sport and track is more equal to boys also. So, if you recall, >> ginormous amount. >> Yeah. I appreciate the work Taylor put in because >> as a girl mom like I hated the inequality of the the you know opportunity there. So I I appreciate that he put in that work to >> so it's been it's been a work in progress and and that's the thing is we are one voting member of our league and so when we bring it it actually it passed forward two. Um Wellsville and Prairie View were the two against it. Um, Prairie wanted to go into the substate week with some different things. We're like, we we need to be done with the seasons before substate occurs. So, we'll give it a shot this next year and then, [clears throat] >> you know, make the tweaks that that need to happen for it to be more equal across the board.
So we budgeted for all the groundwork to be $300,000 for this project. Uh the total that we have on here on the low end comes in at $157,270.84, 82 which puts our remaining budget for ground work a little over 140,000 that we will still need to work on fire alarm panels security some technology and furnishing as well. So that's where the bids lined out at for the box modular unit for more classroom space at Central Plains Elementary School. Uh the two items that we will need motions on um are the concrete and then also the electric. These were all going to be paid out of pocket, right? What were your cash flow this? >> Yeah, this is out of our capital outlay that we budgeted in whenever the board approved this back in the fall or late summer. So, when we went through that budget, that's what we budgeted $300,000 when we budgeted this year's budget.
Nolan if you want to start that capital improvement funds. Just so the residents understand we didn't do this lightly. We've been working toward this for a number of years. You can see that in 2019 we only put $10,000 in capital improvement. We've been able to up that and now in 2025 we have 2,250. So our total amount that we now have in capital improvement is 4,2871 171. So these are funds that could be used to help to defay the cost of any capital improvement including this building. So we have been basically preparing for this event. Now the next slide basically is our debt redemption. We also have been redeeming debt. What we do is we haven't been selling bonds. When we have a cash flow problem, what we do is we take a bond anticipation note. Oh, sorry. Uh we take a bond anticipation note.
>> So that's >> assuming that you let parents know too that >> yeah there are yeah there are things there there are things that we cannot do. So, for example, with the JM grant, we can pay for cap and gowns. We can pay for sports uniforms if they need to. We can pay for musical instruments if they're a part of the school band and they need an instrument. There are different things that the funds can pay for, but if your child does not have the form, your child is not eligible for those things. So that's also so those that's the information that we're trying to get out to the parents that if your child does not have a form on file then we really cannot supply certain things for them. Um so that's one of the things that we have been working on trying to get um the forms in so that if at any time we get audited we have the paperwork for that when we are filling out the grants they ask us for the numbers and the number has to be based on either the 506 form or the JM form is new so they didn't use that before it was always the 506 form but we can only submit the number based on the five to six phones.
That would be a a big a big thing that we're doing >> because those are big numbers >> and the week the every other weekly reflection I'm not allowed to read those. I just get little summaries of what the themes are. So Tessa Brock and I have monthly professional developments that hit the themes that we're seeing. So we're seeing where teachers are struggling with tier one intervention and we're addressing it at the next professional development. >> So okay, next slide. All right. So I have had some staffing challenges. We've had two teacher vacancies vacancies this year. So they walk, you know, fall break lost a PE teacher and then winter [clears throat] break I lost a science teacher, but they have been filled with dedicated substitutes. I feel blessed. I h I mean they come every day and they're in it to win it and they've really become part of our culture, which is great.
>> Any questions on the honorable dismissal dismissal for a teacher? >> Uh, can I please have a motion to approve a resolution authorizing the honorable dis dismissal of a teacher for the reason of discre decreasing the number of teachers employed? >> Motion. >> Second. >> Doug and Tiffany. >> Yes. Yes. >> Yes. >> Uh we accepted resignation of Haley Sidowski, sixth grade math teacher. Accepted a resignation of Clifford Nins, lunch recess monitor. We accept the resignation of Tim Cloloby, eighth grade social studies teacher. We accepted the resignation of Tracy H, special ed teacher. We accepted the resignation of Brian Summers, middle school assistant principal. effective at the end of the uh school year. Good luck to him in his next job as principal. We accepted the resignation of Sarah Kahar, elementary speech language pathologist. We accepted the resignation of Jasmina Rosemire, lunch recess monitor. We accepted the resignation of Anna Hudson, third grade teacher.
