001live on YouTube. It's a reminder. The microphone's very sensitive. >> Mhm. >> End of lockdown meeting here. Give it a couple more minutes before we get started. remember having the discussion. I just remember it being >> Yeah, I think it was. >> And I remember someone encouraging, but I still just don't remember it being that high. But I know I don't know that without me. Yeah. Like it was really big chunk like page for page probably makes sense since questions. Mhm. Um, we know what time is. >> They said by 15 after, but one of the first things we have to do is nominate a new board clerk. So, >> and I need some extra dollars treasured. So, we got three. >> We still need four because the board currently has six. So, we need
002four. Have we gotten any applications? >> No. >> That just opened, right? I guess I don't I don't >> No, it's been posted. It closes on Wednesday. >> So, is Wednesday the final day to put it in or is it due by Wednesday? >> It has to be in by 400 pm on Wednesday. >> Okay. I I actually know of two people that are >> Yeah, I had one person, >> one for sure I know of and one was still on the fence as of yesterday. I know for sure what it is. to get filled. >> Mhm. Did you restart? >> Okay. Well, move it to later. >> Should we just can we just switch it to next week >> until after closed discussion if there is a close discussion? >> Yeah. All right, it
003is >> it is 508. >> I'm going tohead go ahead and call this uh special board meeting to order for Monday, September 8th, 2025. Uh before we move to approve the agenda, um one of the topics for discussion on the agenda in the closed session is the budget discussion. Now the budget itself is public record. Um so there's no necessary need for any documentation in regard of it to be enclosed. However, um if it were to be moved in to open for discussion, I would remind the board that uh we can't ask personal questions in regards to the budget. Uh we can only ask general specific budget questions. So, we can't say, "Does this person do their job well? Do they spend their money well or anything along those lines?" But we can talk about
004general budget issues uh or line items and things like that. Uh just as a reminder. So, at that all being said, we could also have a discussion in open and we could also have a discussion in closed. So, at this point, uh, I'm looking for a motion to approve the agenda as is, and then if there's any amendments that want to be made to it, we can go from there. >> Right now, the budget discussion isn't closed. Right. >> Correct. >> So, I'm clear. If I have a question about a staff's wage or income or where which elementary or high school, am I allowed to ask that if it wasn't open or does that need to be enclosed? Because I do have questions about some of these line items when it pertains to individual staff.
005I mean, it's not necessarily a question of how are they maintaining their job, but I mean with the budget more or less, >> it's how did they fall into this >> right >> range. I don't have any specific that I would be attaching a name to. Um I mean the other >> it doesn't matter to me, >> you know. And of course the other, you know, issue is inference because I mean >> because it's a small district. >> Exactly. Um >> Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's easy to I feel like it's pretty easy to know who we're talking about without giving a name, but >> I want to be as open and transparent as we can be, but also I feel like it limits the free discussion of the board if we put it in
006open. >> I feel like just to protect us so we can have a good dialogue amongst the board, it'd be best to have it in closed, not trying to seclude anybody. I just feel like safety purposes so we're not accidentally having to backtrack. And then I think I feel like it keeps the dialogue open. It it's fine with me either way. I do I mean obviously the budget is a um public document but and and like you said inference. There's a couple questions that I have that are bigger numbers that it would be easy to figure out. >> Right. >> So I most of mine are very general questions >> like what does this mean? >> Yeah. >> Not who is this? >> I have page by page ones. So >> yeah, I have questions.
007>> I I'll make a motion to keep the agenda as is and have the budget discussion and close session at this time. >> I'll second that. >> Oh, we just need So we're I'll make a motion to approve the agenda as is. >> Yeah. And well, he mo basically said first >> and second it. >> So we have a motion by Corey, seconded by Jamie. any further amendments or discussion. >> I would just like to say that that doesn't mean any further budget discussions would have to be enclosed. No. But because this is our first one >> and we need to see what comes out of it >> before we can determine future ones. >> Yeah. >> So with that um into consideration, I would agree. >> Yeah. >> And I would also like to
008clarify these are public record. So if anyone were to want access to them, they could gain access to them. We are not doing this in closed so nobody can get access to them as just a point of clarification. Okay. So all those in favor say I. >> I opposed. All right. So we don't quite have a quorum at this point. So I make the motion to table this until after the close session hopefully uh the election of the clerk before so we're just going to move it the new business basically to >> before >> yeah before we adjourn so hopefully we have enough people here and can do it >> when we would be convening into open session anyway so >> basically number three is going to be uh the new number five. So, well,
009it' be a number six and then six would be adjournment. So, >> we're not following you. >> So, we're moving the new business to after number five. All those in favor? >> I >> We need one more person. Is that what we're >> forum? Yeah. >> What was the motion? It's just it's just to move the new business to after number five on the um agenda. >> Tom made the motion. I can second it if you need a second motion. >> I know somebody would like come strolling right through the door, but >> she's going to be here in a minute. She just text me. >> That's okay. We'll get going. Can they come in though if it's closed? >> No, they need to be here I believe when we go and are closed. >>
010I have a question that doesn't need to pertain to closed. Is our software what do all school districts use the same software? Do we have a separate soft like how does the software for our accounting program work? >> Um so we have Skyward which the majority of worldwide uses but there is a clear one. >> That's fine. Okay. So other school districts do. So like if we were like to pull up other school districts, it'll probably look pretty similar maybe. >> Yeah. >> Okay, good to know. >> And we've used it for years. >> Yeah. And if you go on like the state reporting sites, it looks almost exactly the same for every district as far as the reports go. >> I really >> What's that? >> I said I really don't like the way
011their reports look. Yeah, I guess. I mean, probably just sick of numbers. You're like, "Ah, let's look at something else. >> I assumed, but I wasn't sure." Stop. >> Is Katie not? >> She is. >> Katie will be here soon. Kelly's or >> Kelly just text me that she'd be here in 10 minutes and she texted me at 5:07. >> Okay. >> So, she should be walking in dor any second. I haven't heard from Katie. Oh, >> yeah. She said she was going to be 15 to 30 late. I guess there was a scheduling issue. >> Should you be able to come in though if we close? You're going need to wait. So, once we close, right, they can't join. If Kelly gets here, we can vote >> motion to allow them to enter. >>
012Yeah, we could. >> I mean, I don't I I'd hope more of us are here so we have the discussion. I >> Yeah, >> once >> I would make a motion right now. >> Are we in open session? Yes. >> I would make a motion um to allow any dulyeleed representative of the board to enter. >> There's one of them. >> Oh, Katie's here. >> Oh, Kelly's not here yet. So, she's here before. No, fine. Haven't we're kind of just twiddling supposed to be coming >> like later. >> No, I hope we Oh, is there mine >> as we did a lot? I had to do printed so it' be easier for me to go through. >> I hate printing staring at it so long last night. My eyes were going. >> So, we're going
013to do the um we did make a motion to bump the school the board clerk to make that decision before we go to adjourn. >> Second your motion and vote on it. Well, >> well, tell you what, we'll I'll ask for the motion for to go into close and then we can make the amendment to um that motion is that would make >> okay >> be the easiest way to do it. >> Okay. >> Uh at this [Laughter] you go. At this time, uh, I'm looking for a motion to convene the close session on Wisconsin state statutes 19.851 CFG to consider employment, promotion, compensation, or performance evaluation data of any public employee over which the governmental body has jurisdiction or exercise responsibility. considerations of financial, medical, social, or personal information and to confer with legal
014counsel who is rendering oral or written advice. >> I'll make that motion. Second. >> Okay. So, we have a motion by Jamie, >> seconded by Peggy >> Holly, sorry. God, I do so good and then it just happens. Sorry. >> Jesus, >> I've been called waivers. >> Okay, so now we don't have to make the amendment. >> No, >> we have the motion by Jamie, seconded by Paulie to go into close session. Uh, Katie, take the role. Uh, >> Kelly, yes. >> Katie, yes. Jamie, yes. Tom, >> yes. Cy, >> yes.
