Um, the second portion, um, is the actual claims that are, uh, entered in. Since we're self-funded, we pay 100% of the of the claim. And what Sigma does is through uh a third-party bank, it's a city bank, they go in and they debit our accounts on a weekly basis for whatever the amount was for the actual expense. Um and I said, like I said, it's on a weekly basis. So, I go in on a weekly basis to the bank and I take that amount and put that into the spreadsheet. And in a similar manner, I'll take all of the amounts that we've paid so far and annualize them out. And then when I put those two numbers together, I kind of get what I think is going to be the projection based upon actuals for this year. And then when I have that call once a month with the third party from Gallagher, they give me their number of what they think it's going to be.

They provided us with, as always, amazing insights to the student perspective. And I think for me, it's one of the things that really makes me want to do this work because I also see what incredible leaders they are and it just makes me think about the bright future we have with these incredible kids stepping up into leadership roles outside of the school in the future. Right now, they are certainly leaders within our school or within our schools. And we just [clears throat] it was just really great to have that opportunity to have that final connect with them before we send them off for the end of the school year.

So, that's my recommendation to the board is that we enter into a fixed renewal pricing with Constellation. Sure. We did have some really big bills in months, and um it was frightening how much of a change there was. Um just I commend Andrea for trying to track this down because um with some questions on the claims, and we just weren't satisfied with the complete answer. And so, um I think this gives the potential for savings and good forethought and so forth. Um, cuz we don't want to pay the Yeah, the kind of bills that we paid a couple times. Okay, this is where I have a question through Mark, through CTA members. So, it's like I'm hoping I get this right. Um, when Mark sends out the agenda to all the CTA members, they read it and if they have questions, they send it back to and he had a couple of people ask what Constellation is.

We just built a brand new elementary about 10 years that's been about 10 years now. But so I thought okay, let's let's keep it in the decade.

And um this year, every month, we've we've been very close. So I'm very comfortable that the number that they think we're going to end up with um is the number that that I agree with. Um and I do that year-over-year. So, I could see seasonality. Um, you'll see the actual claims uh jump around from month to month. So, as the the new plan begins in September, um you'll see that um the the claims are a little bit lower because the deductibles haven't been met. And then once folks start meeting their deductibles, they're more likely to go to the the physician to to seek treatment. So, you'll see our weekly expenses jump up. So, I'm able to track not only for this calendar year, but year-over-year and look at seasonality. Um, and then based upon that information, if that wasn't quite enough, our system when we run payroll puts a number into our benefits line in our financials, and it's it's something of a placeholder.

I first met Chad as a relatively new educator on a previous iteration of our social studies SALT team. I don't even know if it was called that at the time.

So, now I know what that is. Have we been with this company a while or Travis moved us to the company. I can't tell you how long ago, but it was a few years even before I took over. Um, so I would venture to say, I'm going to guess at least six years. Okay. And you said they're They're a third-party gas company and so, um, they purchase the gas, they do the market bidding, they get us better pricing on the gas. And you think that they've been the best one so far that that we've had? They're the only company that I know that we've had, but like I said, they're working with us on our rates and they're they're doing a nice job. Um, Brandon was his name, he was phenomenal. He made it very easy for me to understand it. Oh, I know what our house bills were during the wintertime when it was cold, so I can imagine what our school was.

So started around 2020 just some projects that we've had. I think most people in this room are very aware what those projects are and where we're at on those but I we probably have some community members and some folks back home that that oh wow, I didn't realize we did that at Country Meadow cuz my student went to McKinney or you know, I I I only have elementary students so I I don't get out to the middle school very often. I you know, my and then give them something to look forward to. So really good information for our family members, our community members of on the things that we've been doing throughout the district over the last several years and we'll just go through those. We'll start with the high school and I'm just going to go with you know, project by project and and I probably missed a few things.

It's what they what the the best guess is of what the insurance is going to be, but it doesn't reflect the actual number that they're debiting from our account and charging us through AP. So, I'll take that number and then Angela will go into the spreadsheet, back out the placeholder on a monthly basis, and put in the actuals. And that's important because in previous years before I started, they waited until either the end of the year, if they did it at all. And if you're dealing with a placeholder for 11 months and your actuals are different than the placeholder you have, you're not going to find out until July when you go to close the books. So to alleviate that, I update the spreadsheet every week and Angela does a journal entry every month. And then we verify what we're doing kind of a sanity check with Gallagher that that third party.

Um looking at interim measure 3.1, our goal is to increase one or more levels um on the DNA assessment for our multilingual learners who are in grades 3-8.

And Chad was always someone that consistently used the lens of what was best for students. And he remains someone gives time and energy selflessly, always putting his students and those around him first. Amy Miller is also someone that I've known since I started at BHS. And I'm a firm believer that the school library is the heart and soul of any school building. Every every building in our district, I think that's the case. It's difficult to describe, but it very much has a pulse. It's a place that encourages imagination, curiosity, and critical thinking and is oftentimes an oasis in the desert for so many of our students. Amy fully embodies and understands this and we are a stronger school because of her. Being nominated by your peers for an award like King County Educator of the Year says a lot about who they are as educators.
