Um we don't have anything to add there. Uh their meeting was postponed until tonight

003because of lack of quorum. Um the only thing that was that was completed as far as motions were the capping of the children's house to 10 per grade level. So 5K, 4K and 5K um capping at 10 each at this point uh with further discussion later on just as far as what what future grades are going to look like. Athletic report. Yeah, I think the biggest thing of note there is softball playoffs start next week. Um and Solen Spring, the Solen Springs Northwood co-op is seated very high. So looks like track and field championships today. That is correct. All right. principal's report. Um yes. So a few weeks ago um a group of us and CISA 12 met to further discuss um and identify um some academic goals and behavior goals as a district um

004for EMLSS which is that equitable multi-level systems of supports. Um, so we're kind of still in the process of defining those next steps, those action steps for next year. Um, one of the areas that we identified was our um, tier 2 interventions for both of those areas and kind of solidifying um, that information more for our staff as a whole. um PLC, our next steps, our our overall PLC group that meets monthly um are looking into that next step of introducing um universal design for learning. So that kind of coincides with our um identification of our essential standards um that we're currently doing in our ELA and then this upcoming year in our math standards. So still plugging along um in that direction as well. a lot of great information provides that opportunity um for

005all of our staff to be heard at the higher um bigger group of PLC and so just kind of disseminating some of that information from the top down and from the bottom up of how that information is going vertically. Um so a lot of great conversation. Our Eagles Academy had their showcase last week was very successful. Lot great turnout. Um a lot of great projects that the students um presented as well. Um, next slide. Just some upcoming events and upcoming work that we're still continuing. Graduation is this weekend. So, just getting those, you know, those few things um tidied up and ready to go. Um, again, have another great team that's been working on that those graduation um items as well. So, very thankful of having people stepping up. Um, and then our Monasuri Crossover

006program, that's June 3rd. Um, so that is sorry. Haven't heard of it yet. Yeah. So go from one to two. That's that's correct. Okay. Or or they're departing from E2. So it's kind of preparing them for the next year. That's correct. Okay. Um we have our last round of PBIS assemblies um for this month into June and then our summer school sessions are going to be starting up in June. And then just continuing that work on our schedules hopefully to look our elementary one finalized here soon. Um just had some feedback from staff members. And then um we'll also be doing another academic data dig during our inservice in June to follow up on the previous one we did in December and kind of see where those deficits are um going into next year um

007and where to focus our efforts. Thank you. Superintendent report. All right. a lot of great, wonderful, engaging information. Um, federal funding, uh, there's been a lot of, uh, discussion about federal funding. Um, especially from the DPI. One thing that that they're that they really prefaced with with superintendents is the the title funds. Um the state is going to get less uh this coming year simply because demographics have switched or changed uh nationally and um we're we're not as low as we used to be currently as far as uh you know the poverty rates and whatnot. So they're shifting title funds. So just know that that's something to expect. I don't know what that means per district though, so we'll find out more later on here. Next one is the the state legislation. Uh just a

008few different things that are talking about special education funding. Um, yeah, that there was some concern that there are some legislators that are trying to trying to bait people into looking at highcost special education versus just special education and and the Medicaid reimbursement. When we're and what I have there, when we're talking about high cost special education, it's students that um their their cost of services is above $30,000. we don't have any students in that versus um reimbursement rate across the board and switching that reimbursement rate, we would see a benefit. So, um, so there's concern that, um, as as legislators are talking to, um, you know, constituents and us, making sure that we're we're understanding what highc cost special education is versus special education reimbursement and that Medicaid reimbursement. So, uh, next one is

009talking about that per pupil aid. Uh I know that it was put in the budget um from uh Governor Ivers that we would see an increase of three $334 per child or per pupil uh this coming year and then 345 the following year. Um that is not looking great as far as getting support and traction. So um we'll we'll see where that goes and and a lot of this is just playing out from politics. uh with Governor Ivers doing his line item veto a couple years ago, switching the numbers. So it was a um year increase which to 2425 or something like that. That's correct. Yeah. And and taking out some numbers in the dash and making it Yeah. So that did upset the apple cart uh in Madison. So we'll see where where things

010lay out as far as per people is concerned. Um and then um the the last one is is this um option to rehire retired educators. Uh the big conundrum that we've always had is people don't necessarily want to come back after they retire because they would have to put their retirement on hold. And what they're looking at is is suspending that uh requirement. So people could get rehired on a full-time basis because you have to maintain what is it under 800 and 880 hours 880 hours per year so you can keep your benefits. But with this legislation it would take away that requirement and people could um be rehired on a full-time basis but not pay into their retirement if that makes sense. Would they still be collecting their correct retirement? That's that's part of

011this. So basically double dipping. Well, they would not we would not be required to add to their Okay. So they wouldn't be getting more. It's just they would be hired full-time and still maintain their retirement benefits at that point. So anyway, we'll see where that goes. That's kind of what we had to fight with, Frank. That's why we only part time and work. Yeah. And we we do have someone on staff that falls within that as well. So anyway, um next one, board retreat. So um I know there was some discussion of it, but we have not placed anything on the calendar. I want to make sure we have a discussion in June if that's okay. Yep. So we get that laid on. And then last but not least, request for proposals. Uh last month

012we passed or the the board passed uh the request for proposals. These went out and I've gotten um things scheduled with Krauss Anderson and Myrain next week. Uh I did talk to CISA 10 um uh today. We'll see where that goes. And then I'm expecting market and Johnson uh to respond as well. So how does CISA 10 play into this? They do that kind of thing. They that is one of their specialties is uh general contracting and and project management. Okay. So um in in a in a previous gig that's that's who managed the project. So and they may yet put in a proposal or I I would anticipate that they will. So all right. All done. Yes sir. Okay. This time we'll do public comment. I have one Tammy. Do you wish to speak?

013Yeah, but we didn't go over the rules. Um, you wanted to? Yep. Yeah, they're on the back of the sheet. Read them, too. Um, let's see. Public comment shall be permitted as indicated on the order of business before the board takes official action on the issue of substance at the discretion of presiding officer. Anyone having a legitimate interest and action of the board make comment during the public portion of the meeting. Attendees must register their intention to comment in the public portion of the meeting upon arrival at the meeting. Participants must be recognized by the presiding officer and will be requested to preface their comments by an announcement of their name, address, group affiliation if and when appropriated. Each statement made by participant shall be limited to three minutes of duration. No participant may speak

014more than once on the same topic unless all others wish to speak have spoken have been heard. Uh participants will direct all comments to the board and not staff or other participants. Participants shall address only topics within the legit legitimate jurisdiction of the board. All statements shall be directed to the presiding officer. No person may address or question the board members individually. Um I as an officer have opposite um things I could do. can interrupt, warrant, terminate participation. Can ask individuals to leave, request assistance from law enforcements if necessary, call recess or endurement, um and wave rules with their approval of board when necessary for protection of privacy or administration of board's business. Uh this portion of the meeting of public comment will be limited to 20 minutes unless extended by a vote of the

015board. Okay. Um so yeah, go ahead. She's going to start the timer. The seat of honor. The seat of honor. And would you like a piece of candy? Oh, no. Thank you. It's for the purpose. So, I'm just going to read the letter that I handed out at the last meeting. Um, at this time, we have 12 pair pair of professionals at Solen. 11 of those pairs are women. We make the same amount of money. The 12th pair is a man who is on a teacher salary but has the title of par prof professional just like the 11 women pairs. This is discrimination. I have surmised that it is a contractual issue. But as I see it, if the contract was signed with the assumption that he would be responsible for the requirements in the

016contract and was able to unwilling or those respons responsibilities were not offered, then the contract should be null and void and there is a breach of contract. A new contract should have been offered and signed, but instead this pair has been compensated for a job he is no longer doing. This has gone on for the entire school year. What the 11 women who do exactly what their contracts ask them to do are completing those duties and more, much more. If the precedent has been set, then we should all be getting what that 12th person is getting on his paycheck. Fair is fair. Equal should be equal. This inequity and sexism is so blatant that we just can't accept it. We shouldn't accept it either. It's time to write a wrong. This wrong has been going

017on for far too long. and we have we have attempted to correct it in the past with no results. If this is a former administrative issue, then fix it. If it's a contra contract issue, sign a new one. But as it sits, we the other 11 are being slighted in many ways. We want to be treated equally and have transparency when we ask hard questions. Two years ago, there was a petition signed by most everyone in the district. And we also just signed another one last week. This petition requested or two weeks ago a $2 an hour pay raise for all pair professionals. We are once again asking for that raise. At this point we make less than $17 an hour. Solen has the lowest pay per pair of professionals in the area. I will

018say most of us are obviously not here for the money. We have we love our jobs, the kids and most everything that goes with it. But you have set that salary higher than any of us 11 are at. And that is discrimination and unequal in our workplace. when we can't get additional help because no one applies for pair professional openings due to the low pay. It's time to take a closer look at the numbers. I did not intend on making this about wages. I raised the issue because of the ine inequity. But after talking with all of the female pair professionals, we realize it is also about the bottom line. If you compensate one, you must compensate for all. Again, we will only accept equality. I implore you at this time to take a collective

019breath and weigh this out. I am currently not doing this for myself as I won't be here too much longer. I'm doing this for the future of our school. We need to offer more for this very skilled position so that we maintain the quality of pair professionals that we currently have. Think about the school, the community, and most importantly our students who deserve a quality education. I'm truly worried about the future, what the future holds for Sen Springs School if I don't get quality paraprofessional candidates. We have a par professional that changes poopy pants for a student and she gets paid the same as I get paid. Another the the person that I'm talking about gets paid thousands of dollars more than her and he refuses to do it. You know, it's just if if

020If it was a matter of him being a teacher before, he's not anymore and the contract should have been done and over with. If not, then we should all get what he's getting because we're doing more than what he's doing. Thank you for your statement. All right, moving on. We are going to now discuss Sports staff salary kind of went over this in the thing. You have the documents there. First year, second to the sixth year, 7th to 14th from 15 plus years. Would you help me with some math? Um, that this recommendation 2025 2026 supports staff's salary schedule. Is there an increase from last year to this year? And what if so? Yeah, it was 3% on each cell. Okay. And last year we didn't have lanes previously for years. We used to years

021ago, but we implemented the lanes again last year so that there was um some adjustment in wages based on the years of service. Uh, are you able to anticipate we're still a month and a half from the end of our fiscal year. Are you able to anticipate if we're going to end in the black or a deficit yet? I have not gotten to that this year. It was my plan, but I did not get to it before the meeting, but I did send you guys some documents showing some projections with with next year with the changes to So the rest uh estimated revenue limit and because our average number of students is going down, we're looking at getting less funding for 25 26 than we did this year. If you don't want to answer this.

022I I understand because I'm I So next year's budget, are we anticipating a deficit? I would say that's that's a for me looking at at what we had for a possible overage this year was very small and looking at that sheet I'd given all of you guys with what the raises and increase insurance and all of that what how much those costs will go up and then with our revenue limit going down it's very likely that will be in the fall next year unless we, you know, can change some other things around. Sure. And it's hard to say just based on what what that funding picture is going to be. Yeah, I understand. That's why I'm not trying to paint you into a corner. The finance for school is confusing. And so this trying to

023put this decision in a larger context. If we're ending with a $400,000 surplus, that would change a decision, but it doesn't sound like we're going to end with Well, and the thing is to remember that it's it doesn't only affect next year. It affects every year going forward. So, it's not like a one time raise because that amount stays increased every year. So, then the percentages or whatever is the increases are raises for following years is already added. if it's percentage it's added you know onto a higher dollar amount so that affects that way too. Pete, have you calculated or lean on when this is the second time in what two years that there's been a recommendation for $2 an hour pay raise but FICA retirement 12 what's that what would that number be? I

024I miss Did you send that to me and I miss it? Yes, I sent everybody out. I'm sorry. an attachment that had that information on it. Looking at if we left it at what what we currently have projected and then if we did a smaller percentage or increase that would be what the total and then the total with the um health insurance increase the increase in you know how that would increase our FICA and our um our retirement. I didn't calculate the life insurance and long-term disability, how much that would affect that because part of that's based on on age and that's harder to predict out So, I'm trying to think of what it was with everything. We have a lot of people that following that seven to 15 plus year service range. It's increasing.

025Majority of them are in that one to five and six to six to two to six, but we've got or two to six I should had a few more that when we changed last year there that went into that seven to 14 and that's I did um do a document too that showed where wages were at for like the last four years and how some of them increased when we put them into the um when we did the the lane what the increase was in addition to the rates for I'm on it right now. The partial rate the raise that we discussed last time. So 3% plus what we were asking adding. Um you can see those numbers. Did you get the email? Yeah. So, you guys, so there's So, we added we added that

026to all support staff. No. No. Okay. Oh, yeah. I see. I see the ones now. Yeah, there it is. I think I did have a sheet that also had that. But when I did this one on Friday, I just did that. That one is is there a separate page for support staff? If you bottom tab, there's three tabs. So if you even if you look at the estimated Yeah, not many people in So looking at without any adjustments around $184,000 increase to our budget just for at Thank you. Well, it's always the largest part of the budget, right? And you all have the comparable wages across the board here. Um, looking at the ones within our district, Ashlin's only $13. That that was previous information. uh talking to the superintendent there there was a fair

027amount of increase that they projected there. So okay I need to know if anybody wants to take action on this at all. So, can we drop uh could does the raise have to be across? If we did a raise, does it have to be across every lane or can you target? I mean, I think the first lane is one year, right? If you I think if you try and put that on certain lanes, we tried to build that that formula into So, there's kind of a similar percentage in between lanes when you start adjusting one lane over another lane. Does that does that make sense? So it probably have to go across all three. Yeah. Well, you you can choose whatever you wish on that. I would say you would want to have some some

028increase across there. But you could change up that what that uh table looks like, right? Yeah. Because that's a bit of a jump at 15. Mean you could add it to the first three lanes, leave the fourth lane alone. I think there's only like one person to try and pull more information. What's the consensus of the group? You want to take action? You want to table it? It's like closing our eyes and throwing darts without having a sense of what the budget's going to be, which I understand is the way public education government works, right? But if we wait by waiting to the next meeting, does it give us more possibility of better budget information? It might not. I don't think it does necessarily. We don't usually see the budget deficit in the past year.

029So that's we haven't run a deficit in the past four or five years. So I mean I I don't know why we suddenly would next year that was that was since we passed the referendum but that those that's why we passed it. I assume but those amounts that would come out ahead have gotten smaller every year. So that's not going to that's not going to I I I guess I thought I heard her say that declining enrollment is what Yeah, it's going to affect us next year in terms of that our our revenue. That would be one factor. I mean, there's other expenditures we lay out that we can control. That's correct. But yeah, salary is always going to be the biggest part of our budget. So I I mean we probably should decide tonight

030whether we do this or not do this. I don't we're gaining anything clearer picture next month, the month after. So, I would need a motion if you want to of what it is. John, do you have a Well, I mean, we talked about some amounts last, but I would like a dollar an hour. Someone who wants to go less more make your pitch. I I I think uh a raise is warranted. I mean again, you know, the hourly salary is one piece of the picture because the district already does out has a pretty good outlay for health, insurance, all the other benefits that go along with that. And we haven't had to lay off anybody where other districts have. And I think that still keeps us in the the same arena as other districts other

031than Bayfield. I don't know why they're but they might have special circumstances. They got special funding there. That's take out Bayfield. We're higher than some lower than a couple others. So we're certainly not the lowest or the highest. No, we're right in the middle. But that's also with pretty much all of our wages throughout the building. And these are full-time benefits are are Yeah. The one letter the one letter saying that 35 hours isn't fulltime. It is fulltime and benefits are available. Yeah. I mean that is a perk that it's a over the course of a whole year, they're getting full-time benefit. They get the benefits in the summer, right? Yeah. Yeah. That's a pretty good deal. Yeah. And the wages aren't the same across the board anymore based on because of the lanes. There's

032some differences there. Okay. Well, I would need a motion. And if you want to do all three lane, all four lanes, three lanes, two lanes, one lane, what do projection was with 75? Yeah, that gave you just is that like one group for like I see cook one and cook two like is there opportunity for an aid and a one and a2 or is that that gets I think that gets a little trickier, right? Yeah, we did talk about if you needed a certificate to do your aiding position, right? A certificate position or something. Well, it's it is either you have monatory and it's monitor moniator certification or special education and special education license. So, yeah. Well, absent anybody else, I'll make a motion to raise it. uh pairs a dollar an hour across I

033mean I don't think we have a lot on either end of the 15 or one year so I don't think that's going to make a huge difference so might as well make it across all that plus the 3% plus 3% I mean that's already baked in there a Yeah. I want I would love to see the cost of that. Like what's that mean in numbers? Well, it' be half of what the projection was for two less than or you did a $2 one. Yeah, I did it on two. The one the projection I did was on 75. So that was for the included social security WRS and that would add what to the budget at 75 cents. It's in your chart. So 75 cents increase would add um 48,000 in social security and WRS excuse

034me would add 48,000 no bring oh with the 3% bring it up to 48,000. So that would be an increase of 16,000 and then it would add 2,000 for um social security and that puts that base up higher for the following years. So you have to figure that in, you know, kind of projecting for the future that added to the cells with whatever increases we do in the future. So over 20,000 increase. Yeah. Right now with a 75 cent looks like 17,000 over not doing it and just doing the 3%. So it's probably around the 20 to between 20 and 23,000. So the $1 pay raise would add $23,000 to the budget. Yeah. Estimated difference on what you showed just the 3% and then with the I was looking at the revenue um put a

035total on there and what what we'd be looking at going down. Yeah. Yeah. So before we discuss anymore, we should really have a second. But that's what I'm trying to work towards. I know, but you're you're not supposed to discuss. It doesn't pass the motion. It just Okay. It doesn't pass until we vote, but there has to be a second technically to discuss. So, is the motion done? Until it's reserved. Oh, does that not confusing? So, somebody has to second it for you guys to be able to discuss it. I understand that point. When can we resume our discussion then? As soon as someone second and then it goes to So the meeting just stalls until or unless it gets Yeah, that's what I'm asking. How is it? No one drop. It's never passed until

036after the vote. So even after that second there's a discussion that that motion can be receded or motion to beed on. That's correct. Okay. No seconds. All right. We are going to move on then. Motion has been defeated. All right. So, we have no person. We want to table it to June. Yeah. Okay. So, we'll put it on the agenda for June. Let me know if there's any other information you want me to put together or do you want me to send you out any of those? I guess they just want the figures with the dollar versus 75. Okay. Personnel recommendations. There's none. Considering donations, none. Summer coaching contracts, none. Yeah, the the summer coaching contact uh just an update. Oh, that's the contact. Sorry. So, that's being worked out by our coaches and so

037they are okay. Or do they we know I just I just got to make sure they deconlict, right? And that's that's what they're working that piece. Uh, and then I'm wondering too and and and maybe you know we can leave this to the athletic director to work out, but I know he expressed a concern that it starts the contact period starts June 1st while we're still doing so I think as a matter of common courtesy the other coaches will lay off until seasons are wrapped up right discussion as well. Okay. Middle school music uh requirement. Yeah. Requirement. Please, please, no retirement. I'm sorry. I I've had a long day. So, so with the the middle school music retirement, unless there is a a vote to make that a requirement for all students, um we have

038another plan. that will not require for all students. So what and this would be uh involving uh Julie from and some other offering that we can have. Okay. So then the other this plan would go in effect if we don't make this a requirement or that will be proposed that that that's what would happen because what was brought up was making a requirement and if if that is not the decision of the board then we will have other I would like to try the other way instead of making a requirement honestly I hate to require people to do things okay and that I take math studies history I understand that too. But can can we put this in formality please? Yeah. Can what do you need a motion to not require? Yes, that is correct.

039Either way, just so either to require or not to require. Check. So it's a formalized piece. We've discussed the one with this Monday. Yeah, I apologize. I'll let you make the motion in the wording. If I can make a motion. Well, I'll make I'll make the motion and I'm perfectly happy to make it subject to vote, which it would be anyway, but I'll make the motion to make it a requirement in middle school. Maybe the Yes. I'm second. Anybody want to discuss it? I'm not a huge fan of requiring certain things, but you know, I I'm not gonna I'm not going to die on it either because I think it'll be fine, too. Either way, I think either way it'll be fine. Um, I just know that sometimes when kids are forced to do certain

040things, they don't, but sometimes you need to force them to try new things. Just to clarify, my apologies, they would music means band and choir and or for middle school. For middle school, the andor is probably a pretty significant part of the motion. Yeah, that's what we discussed. That would be andor. So they could take both or just one of band or chorus or whatever. Any more discussion? Okay. All those in favor? Any opposed? Okay. One opposed. So they're making it a requirement. Yep. And if it's a disaster for a year or two, we can always All right. Security Camera Solutions. All right. Um I would ask that the board uh table this because I'm getting gathering more information uh regarding this uh requirement because there there's a couple different solutions. one is replacing everything

041which is to me a a costly waste. I mean I should say it's a costly expense. Uh and then there's other options that would utilize our current system. It would just be upgrade to the the actual system. So we'll have more information. We don't have the motion that we do. Okay. We're going to table it. uh softball field repairs. Um we we certainly can I um once again with with the repairs it was the light fixtures and the electrical um and determining whether it was going to be buried or overhead. I I think it's still a wise idea to get security out there. I I will say that one thing that we are definitely going to move forward with is getting a rest system down there because we will have additional uh outdoor classroom equipment

042that we want to get eyes on as well. So, so do we have any costs at all far as cost? Right. No, that's the stuff that that we have to finalize here. So, and part of this is going to be if if it's overhead, I think it's going to be minimal cost, but we'll get that the underground. I know we can do it ourselves, but that's going to cost more because of replacing wire because overhead wire is different than underground. So, do you need a motion to keep working on the numbers or just we can table that and have that for later as far as numbers are concerned? Yeah, I'd like that. Okay, we'll table it. Tennis court repairs. Okay. Um and and that was uh once again funding the uh replacement of the the

043reel and the nets uh utilizing what's rookie funds. Okay. Do we have any data on if the tennis courts used for tennis? Yeah. I mean, we don't have data, but the Sierra uses them for she teaches. And then we also have quite a few people that come up during the summer and use them a lot of times. You'll see people out there. with a discussion I had with this mer whole Merks rookie thing. I would not necessarily take funds from that unless it was brought up by coaches. Um yeah, it doesn't really support it's not a it's not a sport and that money is specifically for sports. It is I well there's been there's been a discussion there's been a lot of discussion over the there there's more to come with that. So um but

044yeah I would hold off on the funding it the mers rookie for now. So I would table that until we get that all sorted out and yeah well I think we'll move forward with just the purchasing. Okay because it needs to be done one way or the other. All right. Do you know how do we have it? Wasn't that much was it? So, we need a $1,000 $1,000. Okay. All right. Season 12 contracts. Okay. Move over this a little bit. Was there something else you were going to take out of this or there? There is not. So, after everything or Yes. Yes. Well, it's got the amounts there and then the finalized amount. um is an increase of just under $5,000 from this this year. So, That's why we don't as much. All right. So,

046minutes long. That's correct. And we'll be able to cover that with staff. Right. Yeah.
