007unaddressed issues that's occurred a long time ago here at the school it was when my son out after the fire happened I my kid out do the conflicts of interest in double stand I find actually happy but someone had gave permission for the the Carrie Herman to call the dispatch to have a lockdown done at grandp school so all the kids got scattered and Bill end up retiring from the job I just see underneath shutler himself uh uh I think that nothing ever occurred and I wrote him a letter about it and at Chief cyers was actually in the office when I signed out X was actually there at the time and there was other people in the officite time when I signed out I worded out when I said out I wasn't angry you

008would think Chief cyber stopped me I don't know who authorized the school to call dispatch and calls for a lockdown to take place at grber school was appalling to me as a person who had another daughter here prior to that going into school so I think it's never been addressed and then the fire itself my kid couldn't come to school over a fire under charged and there's still discrepancy in the case itself right now that needs to be investigated exactly who F who actually started the fight so you know but we went through some unnecessary stuff you know we had people go to stop us and get help and there's a lot of stuff going on in little cck people and I just think that myself it needs to be addressed who gave the permission

009to call transfer why did Bill have to retire early over the dis embarrassment for him locking the school the kids running in cuz I was not angry when I left the school and I had enough Witnesses here x was even in the office and chief cyers was here like I said I was sing songs to God on the way actually Carri I'm signing my son I'll do to double standards and conflicts of interest he says that's what you're doing I said yes you judge my kid for a fire that's written of a story she wrote even here wrote the story that had nothing to do with nothing we never and where's the police reporter cyers at my house and our 20 minut for the plan where's that at he but I got put to a

010bunch of stuff over some stuff because they're trying to Ru my credibility yeah I help out the community here many different ways people don't understand but I do it because I grew up in the St Paul and this is like EAD back and I grew up they lost their ways down there I can see how we can keep it together up here but to me and myself and our family we've been through hell over the fire that took place stories that were written we had no part of it okay Deni shelter homes taking my kids 20 days if it wasn't for God in my life who watched over me gave me the guidance I had no money to buy a an attorney had to do all this crade you know and and not run away

011because this is quite the battle I went through but what I can say under the leadership of of I think it's time well he hands down the rain let's get somebody new up here I can guide and watch over our children I I got other kids I want to might want to bring back here I got them in another school right now my other kid that was here they named the game after it here you know little Whitney plaster the Master Blaster plaster game you know what I'm saying it's like come on I'm here to help out but I don't like how I've been a victim up in this community I've never gotten any really help before blankets out of the church since my home burnt down and the whole story behind that fire where

012is the police report why deci was treat me like that you knew where I was going hour 20 minut minutes interroga my son for three hours wouldn't let me go in with my son and then the kids took them took my gift cards out of jail up here I told him all stay away from him he can't touch go near my wallet he's not to be trusted period And I tell you what there's more I know about him and I I want to end this right now and I just think right now I'm kind of appalled that when I hear anything going on up here and the bullying going on and you know the stuff we went through over the fire the kids blaming my kid for fire never happened you know you know I

013had to pull him on of the school through other oh they almost took them through foster care it's just ridiculous I think we need to get some order within a little group of people went up here that were friends and associ with other people here they were running this Lake Texas a one star State this s special education has nothing to do with the two other special educations I had to deal with with Webster and grer what's up I told the special director of special education what type of stuff is that how can you not use how can I bring my complaint to you then huh no wanted to hear me but I'm still here I come up to speak my mind you know and I baptize people in the river the false imer and

014baptism anybody want to get baptized do that but this this is what I come up here for to help them I didn't come I come up here to be an asset in my community I'd like to see some stuff change up around here and if it be people in certain positions it's just like Congressman certain people we need you know we need to move some people around here I see uh imp off left uh you know he was a good guy he some else he's actually someone I could had agreement with so I could talk to I feel he knew God a little bit he knew how kind of handles you guys a little bit better than me I don't think hand than I just thank you thank you very much Todd your input who

015would like to go next us go ahead hi I'm Wendy emman and for Liberty and I would like to address the issue that you have on your agenda and it has to do with fulfilling the vacancy which is occurring on the school board um my understanding is is that you are going to point a replacement for the retiring um person who who quit last last month and I understand that you're going to make that decision today and I would like to ask you to reconsider making that decision because you've got four people on the ballot who signed up to run through school board and my understanding is that they are not being considered for this vacany there's only two open spots and so there's going to be people who are running for the school board

016who are not going to get on and I would suggest that you use them as a resource obviously they're interested in running they're interested what's going on in the school board and I would ask you to consider whether or not you need to make that decision today if you do decide to make that decision today there's some questions that I would ask the candidate who seeking appointment and that would be whether or not why they didn't run for for school board why why why weren't they on the ballot if they were not on the ballot how many Schoolboard meetings have they attended what is their interest in running now is there any relationship to this person to some of the controversies that are swirling around the siren School District you know as school board members

017you have two jobs number one to set policy in Conformity with the law and within the law not only of the state of Wisconsin but also in Conformity with the law of the United States and the second job that you have as school board members is to supervise the superintendent and to make sure that he's doing a good job and so one of the questions that I would ask of the person whom you're considering to appoint is what if any is the relationship between that person and the controversies that are swirling around the school and if they are going to be appointed if this person if they have a relationship with any of the people that are that are being questioned that they should recru themselves if there is an issue about it so thank

018you for listening to me and I would ask that you wait until after the election takes place tomorrow before you fill this vacany and consider some of the people who don't get on thank you for your time thank you Wendy who would like to go next anyone else I have a daughter here in siren and I just wanted to thank you guys the school board the teachers the Cs and the administration and enre staff for all you do you put in countless hours with little to no thanks it seems like there is at least 199,000 problems facing up any moment some of us parents support my daughter has excelled this year she has become the student I always knew she could be thank you thanks Becca thank you Rebecca like to go next or did

019I miss count I think that was okay thank you everyone for your comments much appreciated anything from the board before we move on okay moving on treasur report the treasures report was presented at budget um there was a little bit of short-term borrowing going on but we did were expecting some funds to come in in which I don't know if they have by now but not as of the date of the um report but I would make um a motion that we accept the treasures report as presented I'll second that motion by Peggy second by myself all those in favor I I post budget dashboard um those were informational bigger to just on there so that's just to show you where we are now in terms of current expenditures so if you look at them

020we are currently on Pace in those categories based on going into the fourth quarter of the fiscal year so but um they're do to be [Music] updated tomorrow they'll be updated so I'll have more new ones for you right there on where expenditures are so can I ask about four or five years ago we did a huge energy project have the electric cost continued to go down since we did that project Ian we I we know they went down that first year but have they gone back up or are we staying pretty much at that lower amount leveled out at that lower amount good that's good that was the whole hope of that project are to on the dashboard you see that I see we were D and that's why I wanted to make sure

021we were not just us and inconsistency but that it's regularly been down since we made those improvements but at that point in time we didn't anticipate the boiler oh of course not I understand all that there were some things that had happened after we had done so but I think it's stable as a relation good it's probably something that technology probably needs because we do use so much electricity at the school with all the the computers and the Chromebooks and that that when we changed out it was lighting fixtures primarily we changed out that was supposed to save quite a bit and I know that first year we seen it tremendously and I just wondered if it had stayed down since that time that's or if it was a weird you know sometimes you have

022a fluky thing looks good to begin with and then it's so I'm glad to hear that that's continued to stay down thanks for bringing that up Peggy for the rest of us to know yes thank you why you can't my last night get anything I know let's call Peggy see what she remembers speed dial okay moving on oh my turn president report and correspondence so with regard to a recent Title 9 and I say recent because these things unfortunately take forever um way longer than it feels like they should have to but be the title 9 in investigation uh into the fifth grade um and from all that's transpired been investigated looked into um have something to pass on to the public uh the matter raised concerns personally identifiable information regarding individual students that is

023is confidential underneath both Wisconsin's pupil records law and federal family education rights and Privacy Act due to that fact the district is unable to disclose certain information without the written consent of all the parents of the minor children involved I can state that local policies state and federal statutes and regulations have been adhered to by the district we understand that these matters sometimes take longer to reach their conclusion than the district would like however the district is bound to follow the procedural due process timelines set forth in local policies state and federal statutes and regulations all families involved have been notified of Investigation findings and all appropriate actions have taken place there was an independent impartial investigation and review conducted by Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction also known as DPI to ensure that all things

024with the investigation were handled correctly DPI stated that all reporting requirements as mandated by law were met and that no further action was taken or required in the matter again I appreciate everyone's understanding that we are unable to provide proving more information or respond to more specific inquiries in this forum that being said I will also add that no matter what the thoughts are in regards this matter there will always be room for improvement of things and some things are already being addressed by the board next thing we have a new board of clerk Mr Eric Olson was appointed in a meeting earlier this month he took over after Steve Young's vacancy and we appreciate it thank you for taking on this responsibility Eric thanks Eric moving on reports superintendent okay I shared with you

025and I think I shared this with budg as well as school administrators Alliance in regard to budget priorities uh for the state um and then within that you can see the 2023 24 per pupil funding increases that were offered and it shared Public Schools K12 voucher schools 912 voucher schools K8 and special needs vouchers and you can see the the amounts that were offered based on um that budget cycle of 23 24 um there's some other information on there but also uh forwarding down to the the saa's budget priorities um looking at implementing an increase to special education reimbursement rate the SAA is Seeking a 60% reimbursement rate aable cost for special education that is getting traction and has some ears in the legislature feel confident about that so we're being told uh the second

026priority then is provide pred um predictable sustainable and inflationary responsive Revenue limit increases so that is getting uh even more so than the per pupil increase which typically in years past we would always fight for per pupil increases but rather than do that since each district has a revenue limit and they're different based on uh size uh so uh the AE organization who's working with us uh School administrator L is trying to implement an increase in the revenue limit and last budget cycle and it's also getting some traction and some years this budget cycle as well so I'll keep you up to date on as things come by the um joint finance committee hearings are are are are set to occur and occurring so that's another thing that I'll have to report on and then

027the final um goal is to build a strong School Workforce as you know teacher shortage in the not only in state of Wisconsin but in the in the country as well and so that's one of the things that they're working on uh currently trying to Department of Public Instruction also in joint with SAA is trying to use recruitment tools and packages in order to do that um they're not totally laid out in terms of with this election coming and potentially maybe a new superintendent I don't know what that looks like moving forward so um we'll see we'll see how that plays out so that's the the first item the second item then was just a recap of um AE the organization that um is working with us excuse me um then second one then is

028the press release from the a uh describing a little bit about the governor's budget and how it relates um so this is the association for equity and funding and as you can see the a is very pleased with the the joint effort that both the governor and the a are are are working through and then you can see the numbers in there that um that are proposed for Revenue limit increases and changes um you know ours is different than other districts and so that's remains to be seen but I think it's it's getting it's it's a good place for our legislature to start it makes sense and so it seems to be gaining some tractions and we'll find out more then after the joint finance committee hearings on on that so um I think that's

029encouraging from a state budget perspective when does that hearing take place that we would be able uh there's hearings going on right now I don't know the specific dates about them but they're they're occurring throughout the state now um I can email that information to you too as to where it's at and um I just had them up there three different hearings going on within the next couple of weeks or well let's hope we get some more funding this looks promising but that meeting we were at a couple years ago sounded really promising too well the problem is you know with the funding formulas that hasn't been changed over many many years since 93 and people don't want to mess with that legislators specifically don't want to touch that it's so complicated that yeah and

030it is complex but the problem is to the expenditures increase whereas the revenue doesn't match it and that's that's been the biger issue I think as I mentioned before in 2009 was the last time we actually had a match with inflation had that been the case I think we would be in a better position right now obviously yeah way better thanks Kevin okay thank you moving on principal reports M Herman um we did a family event I guess um through the month of March it was called read like a dragon it was a reading challenge for the whole month um I just wanted to give you some numbers because I was pretty excited so total minutes students read 29,0 328 um top class was Mrs tinman's class with 3,757 minutes and our top teacher because

031there was a little friendly teacher competition too our top teacher was Mrs steeman with 2,685 minutes she must be practicing for retirement got that much time to read I don't sleep much though students and staff then enjoyed at the end of the day just for elementary students and of course it was hosted by Mr Roode and Miss Benson um and it it just was a fun culmination they got to play games and and oh and the and the hat was there and so it was very fun the kids really enjoyed it very cool nice anything that gets them reading more that's for sure Mrs Campbell or Miss Campbell sorry fourth quarter up the fourth quarter gets to be such a busy time of the year for us um the counselor and I have been really

032busy uh trying to finalize scheduling for next year and then meeting individually with all the seniors to make sure that everyone is on track and that they all know what's expected of them now until the end of the year um trying to ward off the senioritis and keep them motivated um spring sports are getting into swing of things um baseball softball track uh lots of music events happening for um our kiddos in the middle high school and then um some upcoming events uh Wednesday April 9th we have the career in college expo here in the afternoon um so we'll be putting more information out about that prom is Saturday April 26th and then May 5th is our Pops concert for Middle High School um and then we have our senior Awards night on May 9th

034coming definitely yeah bre us all right on special education director's duties Tom if I could interrupt I'm just wondering if we shouldn't table this because because you're going to have two if not three new board members next month and I feel like this is information that would be helpful to them this is true and I I just feel like if you give it this month you're have three people got it two for sure maybe three people do you know what I'm saying there's an election we don't know the results yet um I just feel like it would be much more helpful for new people when I first came on the board this would have been really helpful yeah I agree I don't want to interrupt the agenda but I just feel like there's a better

035time for this particular piece no I totally agree make motion to we need a motion no I don't think I don't think so we can justable table it until next month's meeting please thank you Denise anything else from you now that I W your plan Fe well no we're in the middle of testing so I am yeah accommodating creating schedule covering doing proring tests so just busy all right Indian education report Sugar Bush it was so good to get back up w we the third graders um they were amazing like they were they just it was good was amazing I wanted them at my house um so they collected a little over 50 g Gall of sap um and then we were boiling down here and then spring break happened so I was um I

037for our um graduating seniors and then one for our retiring teachers we've got a lot of years of service that are retiring this year that's all I have any questions for thanks ter thanks Tara thank you Tara all right to the next thing looking for a motion to approve minutes of the regular board meeting I'll make a motion to approve the minutes to the regular school board mment from February 24th okay got a motion by Jamie seconded by Eric all those in favor hi I post I'll make a motion to approve the special board meeting minutes from March 11th I'll second it by Jamie second Peggy all those in favor on to new business first up is word vacancy I just like to say something I would too I think we should L on that

038I agree with people are saying people are running for the board right now that gra Shad it if they don't get in I agree with Eric I think that they took the time first of all way back in January to apply they've already been through a primary election and now we don't know who's going to be elected tomorrow but only two of the four people and it seems unfair to not give the people that did all the work the same benefit as a person who just wrote a letter and I will tell you that when I first was put on this board long time ago I was appointed the first year I served on this board and I was appointed based on the results of an election they didn't even ask for nominations that it

039we were close to an election and they just went straight from those election results and I feel strongly that there is some Merit in that not against tbling this for now however I do think the applicant should be moved uh automatically to the next line with any other that would also apply because if we're not going to vote then there's no reason to take them off even though get in on January or anything like so I'll make the motion that we table the board vacancy vote for now I'll second it um and run a posting again after the election and I still second it want to make sure that was in there can we just take the third person in leave it to the voters well and sometimes people are voted for and sometimes people

040are voted against so it's playing things on an even basis law that's the common practice well we'll decide next month meeting all right so I got a motion by myself seconded by Peggy all those in favor I I all right front entrance over Overhead Door bed sjm concrete and Katie's not here so you know anything about uh yeah this so we got this bid the other people pulled their bid this is we and they pulled it based on increased cost or I think they didn't have time to do it I think okay they just were booked for move forward on their projects they want wait okay so so at least we have this one yeah we can do the um entrance and then decide on the rear part after that is that correct ER again

041we can go ahead and bid to get the main work done and then if we have funding left can add in that second piece is that correct okay I just want to make sure I understand the bid yeah 70,000 is for the front entrance and that'll be the ramps and the steps and everything perfect so I'll make a motion we accept the bid by sjm concrete in the amount of $70,100 a motion by Peggy seconded by Eric to accept the concrete bid all those in favor I opposed moving on review of Title 9 complete not sure oh this was just to notify that we had gone back to the 2020 it been reviewed by legal to make sure it was within line with everything and it's back up on the website now so that's that

042the other one was repeal yep so that's what that was was that everything because we wanted it to go through legal to make sure that so it just went back to the prior policy exactly but we did have legal review that to make sure that any of course and they did he did make a few Mony ifications in that but yeah so it referred back to the 2020 that would be Trump's first Administration when um that that went and then the last one we worked a lot very hard on but that was just repeal just done so okay yeah so it's back reverts back to the 2020 changes but it's on the website so everybody knows which one is current okay well that's all we can do yeah uh next thing the ca 11 shared

043services contract it fell off of M fours okay so this is the annual contract we have to go through with cisa um we had the addition of the speech therapist element brought into it because oh well we need one at the current time they're just R any applicants I and again I just want to stress we can drop that from the season if we should get an applicant that is qualified to fill the position so I met with the director and we can make modifications in the contract they just want the contract by the end of March so that they can start planning for corre Staffing they may have to hire people so that that's the reason um we can always come back and modify or add an identity to that okay because again I'm

044not against doing it this way because it's better than nothing but I much much would prefer if we get a live person in this building only service the the addition of the speech therapist from cesa would be a hybrid model correct so with our little ones we would have a live person in in house and some of our older students probably would be that virtual piece with maybe a check-in once a month in person or something so we're not going to leave them hanging I and driveing no nobody checking in on them but all right that being said I'll make a motion we approve the C contract for the 2526 school year motion by Peggy second it by Eric takes up the cease the contract all those in favor I post onto Insurance chain so

045I as of today I emailed you guys also there was uh basically the latest information I received from M3 uh from the the change from our previous Insurance um plans to the new ones um the Consortium that we're in did vote to change to the new company basically Blue Cross Blue Field um you can see what I put in there then was the coverage area is greater I think than what we're currently receiving um the plans are very similar in terms of um coverage and then of course you have we have the buy up plan in there and this was chosen basically by the Consortium to model the current plans we have so um as far as that goes there may some minor changes as you can see that I just included with you if

046you want to read through some of that but um once again we will offer the buy up plan for a different deductible and then um the current District plan that we have Tom could I just make a brief comment yes so there has been some discussion in locally um about how am I allowed to sit on the board and make Insurance decisions I want to be very clear that the insurance for the school is written through a company called m three that is the property the liability and the health insurance and I am not now nor have I ever been employed by M3 so I just want to get that rumor ended now thanks P appreciate that b but I think the Corum as a as a whole is excited about the change in coverage

047because of the G geography yeah and Blue Cross Field basically I mean do we need to stay with the c Consortium whatever they decide because we can't afford to go on our own we did that before and it killed us yeah so so are you looking for a vote to stay with the Consortium is that what you need to approve this plan so I'll make the motion that we stay within Consortium and change to the Blue Cross Blue Shield plan with the rest of the Consortium I'll second that all those in favor I post okay moving on policy 410 sexual misconduct and harassment so when it comes to this policy there's a lot of stuff that has covered under Title Nine but title n also has a tendency to be more on the discrimination and

048harassment type side whereas this kind takes out some of that language and we just end up with uh sexual misconduct um to be fair a lot of districts don't have a policy like this but uh we have policies on drug usage and internet usage and everything else so it only makes sense that we would also have one on this as well and we did find uh other districts that had enacted something similar and drafted this uh from it I'm assuming this was been through policy and theend ation from policy is that we approve it so I'll put forth the motion that we adopt policy 410 sexual misconduct and harassment I'll second that motion by myself seconded by Jamie all those in favor I I post meeting calendars I have a feeling these are going to

049be a lot of pen dates kind of to start with but um new board members don't they don't regular but we don't have so here's so it only will apply to me because I'm going off the right so if the person who gets my position in the election is sworn in prior to the 20 then I would not be at that meeting if they are not sworn in prior to the 21st I would still attend that final budget meeting right but you can't have two people sworn into the same position right so it all depends on when they're sworn in when I got appointed I got sworn in right away but I was not allowed to do because you're appointed anything originally yeah appointed is a little different than elected so technically they don't need

050to be sworn in until the board meeting in April but some come in and want to be sworn in early but when we were President we never generated any committees until you were correct correct there W be on a committee but if they are sworn into a position then I don't have a position so if they if you wait and swear in at the board meeting it's not an issue if you swear someone in early then it becomes an issue I think actually by state law it's the fourth Monday of the month of April is when they is the deadline we swearing it it actually says that that's when they start but anyway anyways I'm sorry but I was going to ask if there was a reorganization meeting plan after this election yeah usually there
