>> Uh thank you and would have any questions for an okay thank you and I appreciate it. >> Happy to. >> Thank you. Uh then if we have green Ashland uh that was me second uh this Saturday I was there you know I saw Mr. Kingsman come for a minute. Uh then I would also have Dr. Ron uh he said hi to all the board members you know so he was with me for a few hours there you know so it was good you know hopefully we we see some work done you know uh farmers market 2026 update farmers market will be starting June 6 uh we have most of the vendors Laura right uh >> we're missing four uh out of the list that was provided by Mr. Mitchell, we're working with him, you know, to get uh all all of our vendors uh certified and permitted.
And so we feel that that is a very fair way to do it with utilities. And so if we spend uh more this year on utilities, then will the their portion will be higher and we would do that proportionally. Great. And then as far as like operational impact on on staff and managing the site, um specifically like facilities and site administration, uh who would do that? Will it be absorbed by current staff or will there be any additional staffing needed for that? There will not be any additional staffing. Um they're the tenant and they will staff theirs appropriately and they will be in charge of that. Um they are not within our contract. They're doing an outside custodial piece where they have people who will come in but the agreement is following our standards for cleaning and using that but they will have that. So that will be staffing for them.
>> And then I gave feedback already to the region. Do I need to give feedback that same feedback tonight? >> No. Now that it's has changed. >> It has not changed. >> You might have a You have a PUM lens. So it might change but no. >> Um I would say that I I'm as we're continue with welcoming schools um I would suggest that we coordinate with welcoming schools to see if there can be any um training that would then also help with this BP plan and the social emotional learning. I I would reach out to Welcome Schools and see if if their materials or their training can be tweaked so it helps you build better training that fits for our districts. >> So I have before I know Colleen is documenting she's she's a yes take feedback but I have um I guess I I have some concerns so I I'll work it out with Colleen and see what her perception is.
Um lot of food trucks this year, you know, we we have inspected, I guess, 10 or 11 so far and inspect and permitted them. I guess there are six in the process that are trying uh to get licensed by us. U lot of food trucks during even during the winter. It's mainly because of the tap room we have next door now, you know. So uh I guess a good increase you know from the previous years right with the uh what we have with our food trucks. Uh then we have the MRC nurse anan is doing the third training uh June 10th. U this is for our MRC volunteers. Uh we we're doing the stop the bleed training. Uh the community baby shower we have scheduled it for right now for 30th. We do have a maternal and child grant through through our shared services that uh that we have funds uh that we'll be buying stuff for the you know uh expecting moms you know so that's scheduled uh for right now and on June 30th it's going to be right out from the slackboard room or it might be corner spot as well depending on the weather you know so this is what we are planning so far with our housing case uh 20 John drive number to uh 22 sorry uh so there is a weekly pest control going on uh for for this unit and that joining units uh the management have been providing me the weekly pest controls I definitely have seen the improvement on those uh I was out there Thursday last right uh to do a check on their dumpster definitely seen some improvements there uh the with 21 Main 204.
We talked about food service. It's not an additional. That's again for them. And then we're not in charge of their students. They are not our students. They are just located on our campus. And so it will not our principal will not be responding to disciplinary issues or anything like that. They have their own principal and their own staff and own leadership of that. And so from when you talk about an additional burden, there won't be an additional burden added to the staff there. You know, I think what we've done is when we look at safety plans and different things, should we have to go into a lockdown, then yes, we will have to be able to call them and say that we're in a lockdown. But we won't be providing any additional security or measures or anything like that for them. That is what they do as the tenant.
You don't have to answer now, Colleen, but I do have some concerns because the training on the plan is training on how to implement the plan and move the plan forward. But you're asking about content in support of the plan. >> I I wasn't talking about training of the plan. I apologize. I was talking about the the social emotional learning PD that's been mentioned in the plan, not training of the plan, but just I know that PD time is is precious and you you know, we need to use it as best as we can. So, I would just say, you know, instead of allowing Welcoming schools just to do what they want to do, I know they're very flexible. We're a very large district for them to do this work. And so, I would say proactively talk to them and let them know exactly what we need help with and what we need so that the training can be modified to best help you with fulfilling the BPIP.
You know, this is just sitting there. We didn't have no update both from the occupant or the or the owners. So, we probably going to take this off from here. 99 Warren uh road. This this property we've been dealing with uh for some quite quite some time. So, there's some random trash uh on the property in the front, you know, and neighbor is concerned about uh rodents and all that. So I did see uh trash all the time there you know some construction material I didn't see any rodent activity but we have uh issued the order to correct letter to the property owner to to comply you know so I will keep the board posted you know with our rodent complaints only one update uh only one active we have is uh the corner of Brooks and Chestnut uh was there this morning uh just to get an update they did have uh they did remove the dumpster from that location.
Right. So will but as far as like building maintenance and things like that, will still continue to do that or they'll have their own person that manages their own space? Yeah, we we will communicate that and that will be working through Gustavo, our head of maintenance and construction. And I know that we're doing exterior maintenance and making sure that that is appropriate, but that will be the communication to them. We already manage that space and we do it and it's appropriately staffed. And so, we're not anticipating having to hire any additional staffing for this. Right. And then, one last question as far as um legal liability for the facility, uh we do have that in the contract in case a student is hurt on, you know, on the premises and things like that that they're responsible for it and not Higley? That is correct, Governor uh Board Member uh Van Hook.
>> Okay. I was confused. I thought it was training on the plan. Thank you for I was confused. Okay. Yep. That's that. Thank you, William. That's helpful. And we're I'm that's all all on my radar. It and I have um I'm the contact person now for that um grant. And it's all it's all on it's on the brain trust. >> If you have any need to connect with HRC or any issues, let Dr. Z know and then let me know. >> Okay, sounds good. It's your best. Um, I just want to uh say how much I appreciate that Tom is modeling the accountability standard. I am really glad to hear that. I definitely gave some feedback at the regional level where I was appalled that people are not writing their name on their work. Um, and so thank you to Mickey and her team for um, like really like doing the followup that that's needed um, to make sure kids and and families are heard and feeling safe.
You know, hopefully uh the activity dies down, you know, uh for the rodents with the disease investigation. Uh we did pick up one case of compilactor uh that we have closed uh few TB cases uh that we are uh following up. And then one more update I want to give and you know this is this is for the community as well. We we did had a person uh last week tested positive at one of our CVS clinics here, right? That was sent to the department, you know, uh that I just want to we Laura did speak to CVS also, you know, to to that we don't have resources here, you know, that the gentleman was told that we'll we'll do an X-ray here, you know, or chest X-ray. That was that was not a good information. So if somebody need information they can call us.
And we used our legal department that went through this uh with a fine-tooth comb to make sure that we would not be liable. Is that correct, Ms. O'Brien? Uh yes, that the indemnification provision um will be in it's in the lease and um it's the same lease that's been used in similar circumstances with other school districts. So, um it's been vetted multiple times. Wonderful. Thank you so much. Listen, not to uh continue on the same record, but I also wish to say thank you for coming up with options. I think uh especially as we have made decisions to try to cut in other areas and save our staff and do these types of things as we are yet again dealing with the absence of an override. I feel like it is truly great that we are able to use space, especially for a school that had had space to be able to use this.
So, thank you. I see nodding heads agreeing. So, so yes, thank you very much, Mickey, for >> modeling that for everyone. Yeah, I I just just echoing that and saying I think one of the things that um we'll get there eventually, but in the school futures conversations that I'm having, one of the things I keep hearing that makes um so unique is the restorative model of relational engagement that the school has. It's not just when there's a crisis, it's an entire school approach. And um yeah, just want to applaud and recognize that and be able to share more as we do. >> Great. >> All right. Thank you very much for calling for being here tonight and uh welcome. >> Thank you so much. Appreciate you. >> All right. >> Thank you, Colleen. Colleen, Colleen, can you email that over so I could attach it on board docs when at one time?
You know I did see that gentleman here three times you know after being TB positive there was some u uh stuff was little you know not not not very happy or with that you know but if you have any anything like that diagnosis like that please give us a call so we can provide resources you know u I guess that's all and I'm open for any questions for the board you know.
I feel like all of the things in which folks are like, "Hey, these are the things you need to be doing." Good news, we're doing it here in Higley. So, to all, especially Miller, thank you for all of the the great options that you helped bring in with this cuz I think it's good things. Um question that I have in terms of like saving, I know they only have 25 kids and so the number of our kids who are there are probably small, but in theory we would also be helping with bussing if we're not having to get a specific bus for a student to go to Queen Creek. That is correct. Our transportation costs could be decreased cuz it's within our district. Sure. Thank you. Um the only other question that I have and I'm sure it will only be something after everything is done.
>> Yes, doing that now. Thank you. Thank you. >> You are reabeling. >> No. So evaluation. >> Yes. >> Okay. I have asked her best if she would present this for us. >> Yes, I will. >> Okay. I lost my While you're looking for it, I'm just going to say how much I appreciate the work because I've looked at this and I actually watched the regional meeting as well. How much I appreciate having done this many years, the work that went into this. It just looks like something that will be so much easier to do. >> That was Jadiraa. I heard put it all together. So give a big round of applause and thanks to >> Jane to Jira because she is the mastermind that like knows how to make all these things work together. Uh oh, what did I have to do Seth? So I could share.
>> Anybody have any questions for Raj? >> No. Okay. All right. So, the next thing on our agenda is the consent agenda, which includes the review and approve the fiscal year 2026 year-to- date budget reports and the meeting minutes from April 7th. Do I have a motion? >> I motion to approve the consent agenda. >> Second. >> Perfect. All in favor? I. >> That's approved. Okay. Uh, anybody have any future agenda items they would like on our next agenda? I think we've already discussed. >> Yes. Um so our next meeting is tenatively scheduled for May 19th. Um depending on what we have if there's enough for the agenda. I believe our plan for our next meeting will be a full in-person meeting. So we will not have anything hybrid is the plan. Um, so anybody that would want to make public comment at our next meeting would have to be in person.
Um mostly because my the school I live nearby Gateway has the ASIS school and I don't know what times those are, but when the ASIS pick up is it gets pretty backed up in that area. I feel like at the very least Power Ranch is probably one of our best locations in terms of that Ranch House Parkway road, whereas in the neighborhood it gets gets a little dicey over by Gateway sometimes. So I feel like that's, you know, again fortuitous for us. So thank you. This brings us to action items. We are on approval of fiscal year 2026 budget revision number two.
>> So if you join the Zoom >> Oh, okay. >> But the doctor can just share it on me, right? She can't. >> Okay, >> I can from my folder. Oh, you're doing what I asked. >> You're showing us that. >> Yeah. Great. Yes. >> Do you want me to log into my folder? My employees. >> No, I'm good. I just need It's just going to take me a second to like do all the things. >> What? So, I was looking under goals three. You know how each goal? >> There are some typos, but they were going to correct that. So >> there's also something missing in both three. Okay. But we'll get >> Okay. On the actual >> Yeah. Yeah. >> I also cannot do at the same time. So >> somebody else I'm gonna have to do that. I can take notes while you're talking.
>> Anybody trying to think of pretty sure I will be, but I will check when I get home. Just >> Raj will usually call me and if we don't have a lot for an agenda, we'll push it off for the following meeting >> if there's not enough to hold a meeting. >> Okay. All right, I'll be in touch if you >> Thank you. Um, anybody have any new business? >> I will not be able to attend them. >> Okay. So, that's two. So, sorry, potentially two people. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, we would not have a quorum. So, Raj Raj, you and I will just connect over the next week or so. >> Sure, Chief. Great. >> Let me just know if I see a calendar. I might as well look at mine at the same time. >> Yeah, that's going to be tight. >> 19 is election day, so we can't even have a meeting.
Do I have any questions or comments from the board before I motion? Um I do have questions. Um I compared to um this budget to last year's and it looks like uh we're down uh around 308 students. That includes the 20 something we talked about earlier, which is equivalent to about $2 million um in revenue loss. Um but I also noticed and correct me if I'm wrong, but I um it looks like classroom site fund expenditures reduced by about 52%. And I'm just wondering if you can clarify what is driving that change and how uh that will impact teacher compensation going forward. Uh President Wade, a board member Van Hook, the auditor general changed the forms from fiscal year 25 to fiscal year 26. In fiscal year 26, they've made it much more transparent where for our budgeted funds, so we have M&O capital and then classroom site fund, they have added at the bottom of the sheet a cell where you place your anticipated carry forward to the next year.
