Have a great evening. >> Thank you. >> Next, we have the consent agenda. Do I have a motion for that? >> I move the school board approve the consent agenda items as presented. >> I second.
Do we have have what does that mean? What is the startup cost for class? Those are those are other financial pieces that have to be discussed before we can just write off new courses. But we have to have a schedule that allows us to do that. >> So to answer your question, the top 30 um average is 57%, middle school central is 40 and middle school north is 42. >> That's kids with two credits. >> Yeah. Well, >> that's I think that's still >> Yeah, it's two it's two credits. >> Let's get that Yeah, we'll double check that. >> That's the new requirement for GPS is two credits. Unless they changed it between the last meeting we had in the >> I think it's good now. >> Okay. All right. Um, so we've already talked about this. Dr. um touched on this a little bit ago, but the um instructional quality is more important than seat time.
So, more more to come, but I wanted to at least share with everyone the progress that we have made to date. Thank you for that, Marlene. Uh, this is a very interesting topic to me. Um, February 5th, 2026 is a date that will go down in technology history in civilization from the model of AI that was released. and I work in CPG, consumer packaged goods, very fast-moving businesses, startups. Um, and in less than a month, there was a fundamental shift in how businesses are run and how the economy is run. And the way I've told my children about this is my my parents probably would have had a hard time in today's generation with their lack of computer skills. like computer skills, computers came around too late in their lives for them to really multiply the impact that they could have, you know, in their in their profession.
Yeah. No, Cinder. Cinder worked for me. We still have Cinder on the on the uh on the linear trail. Mhm. >> From a safety perspective, because you mentioned safety, what is the safety issue with a field? And I can speculate about it, but it's not just for me, it's for people who are watching at home. >> Yeah. And and I I do have that in my discussion. Got it. So, we'll get there quickly. I'll move along. So, so that those are the components of the track portion of the project. The good thing is the drainage that we put in at the last time that remains, things of that nature. I will say I walked the track today. The track rubber is worn. It is very firm. Um, you know, better than running on asphalt or concrete, but you know, and it probably puts fast track numbers up, but it's not good for developing, you know, lower extremity strength.
So this is still a work in progress. This is a statutory requirement that we you know formally submit a tenative budget. But that does not mean that our work as a board is done with what the budget will be for next year. That work is still ongoing. >> Yeah. In regards to the tenative budget, I want to ensure that no st no stone has been left unturned. So I'm looking forward to continuing the collaborative conversation in our upcoming work session. Thank you, Miss Cyanelli. Mr. >> I just want to reiterate what they said too. I'm actually really looking forward to this work session. If nothing else, it's a like a step in progress of how we operate as a board and how we operate with the administration. So, in our time, my time here, I haven't sat through anything like this. So, I'm excited to do it and I hope it's something that can continue year over year, even in worse budget cycles or not so, you know, or easier budget cycles.
>> Any questions? >> All right, Lisa, you may take role. >> Member Kelly, >> yes. >> Member, >> yes. >> Dolphin, >> yes. >> Member, >> yes. >> Member Zer, >> yes. Motion passed. All right. Next, we have projects report from Dave Keading.
There's no direct correlation between seat time and performance. So, it's really honing our ability to meet the needs of all of our students than it is them being in a class a particular amount of time. Um, and then also just, you know, when you do have sometimes a block, the attention span can can be an issue with particularly middle school students, keeping their attention for an 80 to 90 minute block. I'd also like to add here to going back to that multi-ter system of support recognizing that um when we talk about 90 minutes of instruction, we were we were giving all students the same level of support, if you will. Not all students needed that 90 minutes for the same type of um work, if you will. There were students who we needed to be able to push beyond or enrich or strengthen their depth of knowledge because they had already mastered a certain set of skills or strategies.
Um, the kid AI is going to go faster, right? AI is not going to be something that you like hopefully you know how to use because it will help. AI will be a requirement. Um, and I remember the day that my middle school got computers. I went to my first class and did my querty keyboard like race car game. How many words per minute can I type on? Like great. And then I went home and went on AOL, right? Like I was so far ahead of what the school districts and education were doing that it was almost laughable because the kids were going above and beyond because education moves slower than industry. Um, so one, I offer whatever help and assistance I can. We were about to hire a $150,000 technical engineer and I spent an hour in Claude and came up with all of the same things.
It's not giving any resilience, any bounce back. So, it it could be a safety issue as well. It's beyond its life expectancy. Um, and a new track surface is definitely in need. >> What is what is the life expectancy of a track? So track we typically say 21 years. Now that track was done but only the rubber you know in 2011. So but so to get that 21 years year seven in year 14 with that system you need to go back and spray the top with another coat of urethane mixed with the red EPDM granules. >> Yeah. >> U that's called a structural spray coat and then that comes with new markings of course. If you don't do that on that schedule, and I I'm pretty sure it has been done. Maybe I'm wrong. >> Once you get too far past that sevenyear, you're wearing past that red layer and now you're into the black base mat layer >> and you can't rejuvenate that.
I think it's just a good practice. So I'm excited to to take part in it in a couple weeks. >> Mr. Matson, >> like we're going right around the dis. Um obviously to echo the same sentiments, I'm a known to be a no stone and turn kind of person as well with Missionelli. So um I come in here very every 10 minutes my vote keeps changing because it's a very difficult decision to have. Um, but 10,00% that the work will continue to happen and I can promise our community that. So, >> thank you, Mr. Fiser. >> Yes, I am pretty much going to reiterate what we were just saying that um I also had a very hard time with this decision decision and before we we actually go into the vote, I just want to say that I do expect there to be adjustments before we submit this final budget.
Good evening everyone. Not a whole lot to update with the projects. Um ramping up for summer. It's like two months away, so I get freaked out, but we're moving along. Um but the most recent update was the um the pivot to try to add Andrews lighting over here for the uh LED replacement. Um we secured the pricing through Musco. We got a great discount for doing the two schools. So we're moving forward with both projects. >> That's even better. So I know we pivoted a letter and it ends up helping us financially. So great to hear. >> Any other questions on the other projects? >> Thank you. >> All right. Next, we have new business. I know um Lisa has presented the board and committee meeting schedule. There were just a couple things that we were working with some assistant soups and the chairs on some changes.
So when we talk about that 90 minutes versus 45, remember I'm going to go back to tier one is that 45 minutes without teaming. So it becomes 45 minutes. But if I'm a student that still needs more, I'm going to get that in tier two through my win time. So my time spent on that is going to be increased from 45 in the minutes. >> Oh yeah, probably 70. >> 70 minutes by the time we add that in because I needed I need more for that. >> So some more like individualized approach. >> Correct. Instead of assuming that all students needed the same, this allowed us to differentiate scaffold support in a different way. So that's the the power behind looking at this through a multi-tered system of support lens is that we can differentiate scaffold support for students in a different way instead of assuming that all students need the same amount of support.
Um, did not get $150,000 bonus for it. Um, so this is of of a lot of the issues facing education today. Um th this is one that we have to be able to handle and have to be able to handle it quickly because it's going to go so fast. I I could talk all day on this topic. Um I was going to bring it up and I'm glad you did. Um but yeah, this this is not uh this is not optional for tomorrow's workforce. This is this is mandatory. take a look at um what we put out. If you would like to see any of our internal web pages, information, etc., we'd be happy to share that. >> Thank you. >> What What is the suggested right now as far as in like potential staff allowable usage? you know, you you can hop on chat GPT, you can hop on um Gemini, there's magic school, which is highly recommended by the state because it's all the securityities built in place.
You're just it's not going to you're going, you know, I didn't measure the thickness out there, but there's no way there's a half an inch of material out there anymore. Um, so there is consideration into that cost at year seven, year 14. Now, there's other systems, they may not last 21 years, but you may not have to do anything to them during that 20 years or however many years. Uh, but the cost goes up considerably as you step up levels of track servicing. And we'll we'll we'll address costs a little bit too, at least previous estimates. So, the synthetic turf field, what's involved? roll up, cut up, remove the existing turf and infill materials. Uh the base remains the stone that it sits on. It just gets regraded, laser graded. We haven't selected and talked about a new synthetic turf system yet, but I know that the system out there is wellliked.
>> Thank you, Mr. Fiser. Any other comments? >> I will just add uh I just >> No, I abstain from confidence. I >> I just want to add that it's you know in executive session talking about scheduling the work session. It is apparent that the administration Mr. Yates, Dr. Smith, we will be working collaboratively and um prior to that sending questions and comments and we will be meeting then that night to go over many many different scenarios so that this board can be comfortable enough for a final budget in late April. So, and I am thanking the administration for collaborating with us. Okay. And no other comments or questions. Then let me see. Uh roll call please. Mr. Yates >> on finance and operations. Mr. Dearcy. >> Yes. >> Mr. Fiser. >> Yes. >> Misselli. >> No to 9.11. Yes to everything else. No to 9.11.
I think we've gotten those all fixed. Okay. Um so that's one thing. And then >> so this schedule is the one. >> Okay. Good. >> So it is a draft. So please look at it. Okay. I know we we we during the week we made a couple um catches that we had especially like triple eye conference where we always have to move some things and just things like that. So I think we're good. But if not make sure you let Lisa know. All right. Secondly, we did check you got an email from Bob earlier today that we could put um the next topic still with new business and we can. So, I'm going to turn that over to Bob. >> Yes. So, uh first of all, I appreciate the board yesterday, uh taking um a series of calls from our office. We had a meeting with um the mayor of uh Palis Hills, uh Palis Heights, excuse me, and his village manager, uh regarding uh the current, uh Lake Katherine Tiff, uh which is uh set to terminate very shortly.
>> So let me make sure >> y >> tier one's 45 minutes >> instead of 90 >> tier two then 25 additional minutes I quoted it wrong. actually 82 minutes total. So, so they'd have 45 minutes of of tier one, right? And then they go into their wing class and we've been able to expand that wing class to 37 minutes. Um, and and previously it was 25 to 30. >> So, who's helping them with their math and time? >> Typically, it would be the math teacher. So, it' be like kind of what I was talking about where he's the math teacher. He's going to pull the fluid group. Fluid win group. So you're >> assigned. >> So right now at middle school central we assign we look at students data coming in. Then we intentionally assign them to their math win teacher if they struggle with math or intentionally assign them to their language arts win teacher.
Is there a direction that the this group is going in which ultimately you have a platform that's approved by the district to use as opposed to jumping around various ones? >> I think we really like the product that is being put out through Ed Advance. It's really cost prohibitive. But I think the first thing that we have is the tools within the Google platform. So we do have Gemini. We haven't officially gone with that from with the students because we have to do that with our staff first. And there's, you know, as I was saying in in curriculum, there's the right to read legislation. There is BTC and learning by design strategies that teachers are learning. there is AI that they are learning there and there's three days that we have really you know right full days to work with them so we try to balance that and and we feel the the impending nature of how important it is to do this we shared with staff um the percentages I don't have them in front of me of employers who require won't even talk to you unless you have AI experience and know how to use it so it's it's required that our students become AI literate Yeah, I do I do agree with Matt that it does need to speed up because it's constantly evolving.
Um so a similar system or different would go back in. Um we did talk about the perimeter chain link fencing and I don't think that was considered on previous discussions. um that currently and this is another code. It's not if you were to build new you need a meter from the outside of lane one to the any obstruction. So a chain link fence right now it's about 8 in. >> Um it can be done. It does add cost to the project. So we have just we have talked about it in in here. And then ball safety netting. Right now there's 10 foot along the high jump D zone, nothing along the other side. So, if we could, we would incorporate new ball safety netting um to protect the track from users of the field. >> How much space? We don't have any space between the stands and the fence.
Yes to everything else is no to Mr. Compton. >> Yes, >> Mr. Masson. >> No to 911. Yes to everything else. >> No to 9.11. Yes to everything else is noted. Mr. Peeleman. >> Yes. >> Miss Mutram Mowitz. >> Yes. >> Mrs. Null. >> Yes. >> That motion carries. >> Thank you. Now we're going to move on to personnel. Here we are. Personnel um items 10.1 through 1010. Do I have a motion to approve personnel items? Mrs. Ionelli and second, Miss Buchoitz.
