001So you want us to be slow about it so you don't have to go back and finish. >> I mean it >> I was going to say my guess is you have put put your time in already this week. You brought yoursy pictures up in advance. >> Oh gosh. I was like, "Is that the same thing as this?" >> She took over the weekend. I was starting to like >> don't >> she was in one day last week or something. >> Oh gosh, it feels longer than that. All right, we'll go ahead and call. >> All right, I am here. Renee, >> yes. >> Emily, >> yes. >> Chris, >> yes. >> April's gonna join us shortly. She's just running a couple minutes behind. Um, Kyle, >> here. Marcus >> pres with us tonight. Hopefully
002board members have had a chance to review the agenda and if I can get either suggested changes or a motion to approve. >> I'll make a motion to approve the agenda. Can I get a second? >> All in favor? Any opposed? All right, we have our student council ready. ready to report. >> Welcome. >> Uh my name is Carson Anderson and I'm here as the student council president. Um here's what Frederick students did in January so far and what is coming up. On January 23rd, we will host an assembly for all six students during biking time. We will focus on building up school spirit and engagement. This will be the first of monthly assemblies for the remainder of the year run by the student council. Students from all grades will be able to earn points
003for their grade that will carry over each week. Multiple games will be happening at once to engage as many students as possible. Each group of student council members will be in charge of a different game. At the end of May, there will be a celebration for the winner. The goal will be to differentiate the types of games and skills we choose for each event to give a wide range of students the opportunity to show their talents and build class camaraderie. Um the next student council assembly will be on February 20th and we are in the process of building a challenge for all students to be excellent. This will be something that we start in February with a way to honor all of the great things that students are doing in the building each day. More
004details will come. Thank you. Thank you so much. >> Back to running. I love it. >> All right. Thank you so much. >> And now we have our audit presentation. Welcome. >> Thank you. >> Come on up. >> This is Brandon from Two Rivers Accounting. How many years you been doing our audit? I >> think six maybe. Something like that. Okay. >> So, thank you for having me. Um, I think Libby said that there should be a you should have a summary uh document accompanying your blue packet as well. So, that's what I'll cover today. Um, if you have any questions as I'm going through, feel free to stop me or I could take them at the end, too. It doesn't works for me either way. So, with that, I'll jump right in. Um, item
005number one, uh, pages one to four in your auditor report. It's called the independent auditor's report. Essentially, this is one of the very few things in this document that are um ours firm. Um it basically outlines the responsibilities of each party, what it means to have a an opinion, um what's within the report. So, there's some additional supplementary information kind of outlines what that is as well. Um you received an unmodified opinion on your financial statements, which is the highest level um of financial reporting you can receive. And that basically means that your financial statements are um in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Um item number two, pages 5 to 15 in your report. Uh this is called the management's discussion and analysis. So think of it as like a highle analysis of the
006district as a whole. So there's some pretty detailed information in there about your financial information, but it's really comparing year-over-year what do you what what you look like as a district. Okay. Item number three um notes the basic financial statements 24 to 57. Um these are digging in to detail about the district. How do you operate um things information about your cash debt capital assets um if you have any major receivables that would be in there as well. New this year is your I believe you have pledges receivable for the scoreboard if I remember correctly. um for that agreement you have there. Um information on WRS any really anything about the district that you need in more detail that's not shown in the face of the financial statements. Uh item number four jumping a little
007bit further into the report 76 to 79. It's called the independent auditors report on internal control over financial reporting and it continues on there. Um, and I have a note there. C schedule findings and question costs which we'll talk about here in a little bit. And then item number five, 78 and 8 to 80. Again, another independent audit report on compliance for each major federal program. So these two reports kind of go hand in hand. And the reason for that is um since you're monitored by Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, you're required to have a compliance audit. So you're kind of you have to be in compliance with the state statutes. You have to be in compliance with the um state single audit guides. You have to be in compliance with the uniform audit or
008uniform guidance which is federal funding related. So these two reports are basically that you are in compliance or not in compliance. Um ultimately there are no compliance findings um which is a good thing. Usually compliance findings result in additional monitoring of your school district related to the program that you're not in compliance with. Um item number six 90 to 97 it's called the schedule findings and question costs. Um a lot of these or all four of these are going to be very similar to what you seen last year. Um lack of segregation of duties. Ultimately you have one main person doing kind of handling all your financial information of the district. So it's your responsibility right to help oversee that Kyle's and yours to help oversee to make sure that you know that you're reducing
009that risk to the district. Correct. um financial accounting reporting under uh GAP or generally accepted accounting principles. Since we help put the financial statements together, we have to report that. There's no really way to get around that. Um financial reporting under federal awards and state assistance. Again, since we helped put the CIFA together or the schedule of federal expenditures and the schedule of state financial assistance, we simply have to report that. And then material audit adjustments. So this may be a reclassification of revenues to get it in the correct bucket for DPI reporting. Um it could be reclassification of an expense for the same purpose. We determine materiality. If we make it we don't provide that to to Libby or to Kyle. Um if we make it a dollar amount over or an entry or
010a recommended adjustment over that dollar threshold, we have to report that. Not that just because there's an audit adjustment doesn't mean that there's fraud tied to that. Um if there was, you would have known about it a long time ago. Okay, so keep that in mind. Um any questions so far on any of the stuff we've covered? Going through kind of quick, so want to make sure you get a chance to ask your questions if you have them. All right, item number seven. Um looking at just the general fund. So this is just fund 10. Um, when you look at it from a a high level, cash and investments at the end of the year were just over 672,000. Taxes receivable just over 1.3 million. Um, some due from other governments. Uh, generally that's your,
011you know, state or federal aids that haven't come in yet that you've claimed. Um, 99,000 and then some other assets of 27160. So total assets overall in the general fund just over 2.1 million. Um accounts payable relatively small 6,232 acred payroll and related liabilities 528,499 and then short-term note payable 250,000. So total liabilities there of 784,731. One of the reasons I probably haven't touched on before but acred payroll why that's relatively high is essentially your your nine month staff are acrewed back. So their contract go through September but they're all part of that fiscal year. So The EPI requires that to all be acrewed back. Um so as July and August payrolls get paid that liability goes down to zero. Does that make sense? Okay. Um looking at fund balance uh all those unassigned at
012uh one just over 1.3 million. Revenues for the year 8,263,569. Expenditures 8,198100. other financing sources uses 88,809 for a decrease in fund balance of 23,340% of unassigned fund balance to general fund expenditures you're at 16.7%. The reason we give you that metric is generally speaking best case or you know best practice would be to be around 25 to 33%. Um and generally speaking for most governments that's going to allow you to stay out of short-term borrowing. As you can see, for the first time in a few years, you dipped into short-term borrowing. Um, not that saying that you're in trouble. Um, it just having, you know, your costs are going up a little bit. Um, and just meeting your cash flow needs is is changing, right? Um, as with the environment of all governments. So,
01316.7% maybe a little bit low, definitely not over, you know, too high by any by any Any questions on the general fund for fund 10? It's low even though I don't have correct >> it went up. >> Right. But >> yeah, >> it's where it is like all four years. >> Correct. It's been pretty soon. >> That's who we are. >> Yep. That's who you are. Exactly. >> Okay. Item number eight, special revenue funds. You have three of them. Uh the gift fund. I'm just going to kind of go on these uh high level. Um total assets in the gift fund 290,981. Um as you can see there you bring in about 200,000. This year you had a little bit more in expenditures. Um and then you had uh the lease for the uh the
014scoreboard in there. Um so a change in fund balance there 18,894. Uh you have a student activity fund um 9,254 in assets um with a change in fund balance there of 8,883. Food service fund you had a total assets of 32,962. Um as you can see in the revenue section and or the income statement section you had revenues of 320,268 expenditures 413853 and then you had a transfer in from the general fund of 93,585. So precoid we were uh most food services were break even maybe a little better co they were really doing well. postco most have resulted in transfers to fund 10 or from fund 10. Um so you're not out of the ordinary when it comes to that. Um but we have to be conscious of that. You know when you're starting to
015talk of $100,000 transfer from the food service fund. Any questions on on those so far? Community service fund total assets $270,000. Um pretty straightforward there for the most part. Um essentially your community service fund handles your daycare. Um that's the large um the main part of of that fund going overall. Okay. Turning the page to item number nine. We have the debt service fund. Total asset 72,298. Um you can see that's a quite a bit of debt decrease from the previous year. Um note that you did a cash disease on on your referendum bit. Um, and you've done that several times in the last few years. So, as that cash builds up, um, you've done the cash defense. So, you're well ahead of pace to pay off that that referendum debt. Um, item number 10,
016capital improvement trust fund. Total assets 90,614. Um, this is known as 146. So, you kind of save up as you can and then spend down on your capital projects as needed. Any questions on on those two funds? >> Okay. Moving on to item number 11. This is just a summary of your long-term obligations. So you have your your your funding bonds related to your referendum project of 3,510,000 a bond premium tied with that. Um so total geo debt of 3,8371. You have that lease obligation now outstanding 104,498. Then you have other postemployment benefits. um the state portion. So that's tied with your WRS plan. Um 72,412. Other post-employment benefits, that's just the district only 489,348. And then the WRS pension plan liability 365422. So overall total long-term debt of the district 4,86893. Interest paid for
017the year on that long-term debt 147,921. your equalized value um was $564,62456. The reason I highlight that is 10% of that number is what your general obligation debt limit is. So your debt limit is 56 million 462 406 and you can see at you know just over 3.4 million you're only only utilizing 6.1%. So relatively strong there. Any questions on any of any of the long-term debt? Okay, those are big numbers. So this you know what I mean? >> Yeah, absolutely. >> So when you're talking about like 56 million, what does that mean by general? >> So that means that the district would be allowed to >> go and die. >> Yes. Not that we would ever recommend that. >> No, no, no. I'm just like it's big numbers. So I'm like, okay, I can't
018talk >> like that's not for our small school. So you Okay. So, three >> Yeah. When you look at I think the original um referendum project was like seven 8 million. >> Okay. >> So, considering you've paid down to three and a half million in a short period of time, you know, you're doing pretty well in that in that regard. >> Okay. That's what I'm trying. I walked in late, >> but then at the end I'm like, >> oh, >> and if you look at if you look at the great summary we have here, it shows us the like how we've made that progress that I see that we're going through. Yep. So, we can >> And I think what's I think for me that's what's helpful is to keep in mind like looking at
019those numbers and that progress over those years. That's what we want to see. >> Yeah, that's your goal. Yeah. >> Yeah. I mean, I have not seen a district have the ability to fees, cash to fees the de that like you have been able to do. So I think your ch your mill rates kind of you know trying to maintain them and you've been able to do a good job of utilizing that whole budget process to make it to make it work >> goodly. >> Yeah. It matters. >> It absolutely does matter. >> It matters. Um, I always like to give you an idea. So, the next couple pages, so 81 and 82, these are right out of the book. These are the first one is the schedule of federal expenditures. It gives you an
020idea of where your federal dollars are coming from. Now, understand that all your dollars are coming, not I shouldn't say all, 98% of them are coming through the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, but they're getting the dollars from the federal government to do that. Um so you can kind of see here um total US Department of Agriculture you get 242,427 and think of expenditures that's the money that you get. So the SIFA talk is a little bit different than you know revenues and expenses. Um but the 242,427 that's how much you receive for your food service program. Um about middle of the page there under the expenditure column. Then you can also see title one 159,116. The other big one is special education 145,539. And then the BSCA stronger connections 109,744. And on the final
021page or the next page, in total you received 794,642 um in federal aid. Okay. One thing I do want to note is the last essentially right before co through now you've had to have what's called a single audit which is an audit over the federal compliance over federal dollars. That threshold has run up to a million and with the reduced funding since postco essentially you're going to drop out of needing the single audit moving forward at this point. Now, if you get, you know, some oddball grants or some additional funding from the feds, you may get kicked back into that, but based on prior COVID and, you know, you are not really ever near the million-doll threshold. Um, so I don't foresee you need that single audit um moving forward at this point. So, one
022thing to note there. Okay. And you were just about the threshold for this year was 750. So, you're real close to being out of that compliance requirement this year. Okay. Um and then the final two pages is the schedule state financial assistance. Um you can see general equalization aid 3 point 3.1 million obviously that's the large portion of your aid. Uh the handicap education for school age parents that's essentially special education aid. uh 213,000 sparity aid 191,423 achievement gap reduction um 169 and per pupil aid uh 348,740 um a lot of these are all calculation based right so based on here's how many students you have this is you know all based on DPI calculations for the most part the general equalization a that plays into your re revenue limit so that goes down and
023your tax dollars could go up your tax dollars go down, that number could go up. So, it's all kind of connected in that regard. Okay. And flip the page, second page of that on uh 84. So, in total, you receive just over 4.1 million in aid from the state. Okay. Any questions on anything I covered? Um, that kind of wraps up what I had to present, but be more than happy to take any questions you might have. >> Yep. No, you're good. >> Okay. I feel like I'm ask with the audit. So, because you said proit. So, like all school districts once a year would get an audit. >> Every school district in the state of Wisconsin is required to have a have an audit. >> Oh, once a year. >> Once a year. Yep.
024After your fiscal year end, >> then we won't have to >> you'll still have an audit. You just won't have to have the compliance over the federal dollars basically. So, you'll you still have to be in compliance with state statutes. You still have to be in compliance with state funding. You still have to be in compliance with the DPI. >> Okay. >> School district audit. >> It's just a different >> Yeah. When you say single audit, it means for that single >> area. >> So you're going to have the same audit but chop off the federal part. >> See you once a year. >> Will you still see me once a year? >> Okay. Hi. >> Hello. >> Good question. Yes. Good question. >> Changes. And then I mean assuming you know I we're probably
025never going >> but I mean I don't think you will unless like I said something happens where they jack the federal aid up again you know >> right >> back in 2008. >> Not in the next couple years >> right I mean it happened in like 2008 when Obama was in I I can't was it I think it was recovery act then. Um there was an influx in title one and sped aid. >> Yeah. >> Which might have pushed you over the threshold and you probably had a single up then. I was not >> here then. >> Um so like with co it was the same type of thing. It was an outside >> something outside impacted why you got more aid. Got it. >> Um so I think to come anywhere near the million.
026I mean if we look back the last couple years your co dollars you know probably pushed you up to like 1.2 2 to 1.5 a couple years, >> but once those are all spent, >> you know, you're kind of back down >> unless Miss Aaron gets after the grants again. >> I know. That's what I told her. >> Yeah, but you'd have to really get >> after. You never know. >> You never know when all of a sudden she's going to lock herself in a room and write a hell of a >> girl. You might have a coronary. >> Possible. >> Any more questions? They're good. It's good that you're asking. >> Yeah. >> So, overall from, you know, from my standpoint, you you seem relatively stable. You seem >> good to go at this
027point. >> We like hearing those words. That's >> I will say, and I know Libbyy's not here, and she does a really good job for kind of learning on her own and going through the software conversion. I know that was pretty hard >> to to work through, but I think she's headed in the right in that regard and does a nice job for you. So, >> excellent. >> We believe that too, but we like to hear from you as well. >> Thank you so much. >> Thank you. >> So, we do need to accept the report that we just got. So, can I get a motion to approve? >> I'll make a motion to report. We'll second that. Thank you. All in favor? >> I opposed. All right. Excellent. Do we have any persons requesting
028an audience with the board tonight? Going once. Going twice. Going three times. All right. We're on to the consent agenda. Some minutes to review. Um, thanks again. >> Yeah, thank you. Thank you. >> Anything you want to point out, Kyle, from invoices and receipts 29232 for St. C. That's more than one month on there. $2,81.71 and school perceptions 375. summary report they gave that was number 29 296 and then on cash receipts uh second page you'll see YS unlimited youth sports unlimited they made four donations >> towards volleyball scoreboard youth sports and powerlifting >> and then on page three we have the general equalization aid for $667,691 and then the stronger connections grant is right below that for 44,817. That's the highlights of the budget. >> If you look at our energy cost, you'll see
029that this December was colder and so our bill went up about $1,400 from last December. >> Was colder. the building >> just like >> you compare last year this I guess >> we if you can write a grant that helps us control that. >> I'll get right on that. >> Thank you. >> All right. Any questions for Kyle about those pieces? >> All right. We do have one retirement to talk about. Miss, do you want to talk about our retirement? Sure. Bonnie Musil, currently teaching 4K, moved down from first grade, did us a favor this year and did a fantastic job. She actually was the long-term sub for me >> uh when I had Lily Taylor in so I knew she was good at working. >> Um and she told me that she really did
030enjoy it and had a lot of fun in her last year. So congratulations to her. So, she will be retiring. >> She's my son's teacher and she's so great. >> She taught my son. >> She was in first grade a lot of years. So, >> yeah, >> that was a huge change for her. That was emotional, right? And then she just like >> she's had a number of very dedicated years of service to this district. >> She wants to bonus back >> which is actually going back to her roots because she started in the >> trying to get her foot in the door. Yeah. So, we we will miss her and we thank her for all of her >> all of her service. >> Yeah. Okay. I'm sorry. I don't expect >> I'm gonna go
031ahead and talk about our donations from this month. We had uh a number of different donations. Um Crack Scale Collaborative donated two large boxes of gifts and personal need supplies and food for Operation Health. Um Annie and Adam Hedland donated $500 to the kindergarten classes. Quanex Foundation donated $2,000 to Viking Manufacturing. Trade Lake Baptist Church donated $331 for negative lunch balances. continuing to make some progress there, which is really great. >> Uh, St. Corey Valley Foundation donated $2,267 for securing um French horn and bass clarinet sounds. >> Yeah, asking that with those they're specific to those instruments either buying new or repairing old ones. >> Got it. Thank you. Um, and Patty Crane um donated $1,500 to Operation Health. So, thank you to all of those great donations. We get an incredible amount of support
032from our community and we're always grateful for that. Um, can I get a motion to approve the consent agenda? >> Can I get a second? >> Thank you. All in favor? >> Any opposed? All right, we are on to our administrative reports. Who wants to go first? Anyone? >> Marcus, >> I have the most bullets. >> All right, jump in. >> We had honors band was on Monday. Um, and I got a really nice email from Michael Pearson um reaching out about how well our our students who went teacher did. Ben Adams, Cameron Chadwick, and Silus Johnson. Um, they were wonderful and was um the impression they made for our school and school district and u just was really really love compliment towards them. So that was great to hear. Uh we've got math counts
033competitions that are going this month. Uh tomorrow is our first one and then the 29th is clear the last month. So, seems like start to finish pretty quickly, but they've been working on that all for a good portion portion of the year. Um, blood drive is tomorrow. NHS and staff are giving blood and it's going to be in the performance center here. Uh, ways out now, but parentage conferences are coming on the 12th and the 16th of of February. Um, we'll have some time in service to uh go over those, structure how we want them to be ground. Um, doing a lot of admin meetings and Miss doing a lot of work on the schedule for next year. Um, Target Center basketball is going to be on Saturday. That's pretty exciting. Um, some concerns with
034some of the climate inapolis, but Mr. Saturday and feels it's safe for us to go. So, we're confident with that. Um, should be a good time. that should be pretty good. Uh, two more things. I've got the spelling bee. We had spelling be winners. I got to have to be here for the spelling be. I learned apparently my voice does not carry very well in performance center. I can do something better for how I talk at their next time. But all I know all of the people who were spelling heard me, so guess that was a good thing. But Hadley Lquist ended up winning. Um, Alan Hill was second and Eglund was third. So that was a pretty good job. on their parts. They spelled a lot more words than I was ready for. >>
035Yeah. >> So, I had to like really dig a little bit to do a really good job. It was fun. >> I'm going to jump in because the winner at the elementary school was Knox. So, we're sending one from each building to CISA. >> No lies. Knox was second. It was Marty Ste. >> Yes, you're right. That's live. >> Marty Stever was the winner. And I one more thing I've got that wasn't on my bullets, but the the on Monday we're going to have uh Doug Mitchell come over and present uh scholarships for middle school students who who participated in Patriots pen. We got three winners there, three awardees, which is really exciting. So we're have a a middle school assembly um and present them their awards and it's pretty exciting. So a lot of
036exciting stuff going on here, high school and middle school. Thank you. Any questions for Marcus? >> Yeah. So, we've um currently have two different virtual courses going with Chris Peterson for Love and Logic. There's a Sunday parenting with love and logic course that has got started. There's been a couple weekends already. And then a Wednesday night class which is more focused on supporting students with trauma. Um course has 40 50 people in it. So that's really great. >> Yeah. Not all from Frederick, right? >> No, but I mean but just that people throughout the area. >> Yes. And so now we're going to start advertising. He's going to do those two exact classes again, but flip-flopped like so. So So the parenting one will be on Wednesday and then the drama one will be on
037Sunday. So he'll flip-flop, flip-flop the availability >> um and run them again in March. So >> um really trying to you know, more word of mouth and get we've got several um elementary families on board doing that and >> it was a little bit of a shuffling to try to get there's a workbook that goes with it. So, I had to get the workbooks to all the school districts to then hand them out, right? So, that was a little >> wondering with that because I got a flyer and I was like, "Oh, but do you have to commit to all six?" >> I think you don't have to. I mean, certainly do the best you can. Um what he's been doing is after he does the class, then he shares out with the participants the
038video of the class. So if you happen to miss it that night, >> okay, >> it's like committing to like six sometimes. >> Yeah. And he's been including me on all of those emails so I can just see the process some but um I mean you just try and then if you miss one, he shares all the video afterwards. So um I've gotten a lot of positive feedback from a handful of our parents. So that's great. And the more duplicate that and like that's just how we do things in projects. That's the goal in the future. So >> and he's helping me build like what we would use for onboarding new staff and >> and maintaining those little lessons throughout in services and staff meetings for an entire school year. So we're kind of building
039that timeline to continue to use >> every year >> when we don't have them anymore. >> So super cool. So, I'm kind of elbow deep into that stuff. Um, the other thing that I've been is taking a lot longer than I would care to admit is the I've been having lots of conversations with all the curriculum companies. And good news, um, some of the packages were five years and some of them were six. And I didn't know that. So, everything's not going to expire at the exact same time. Um, however, you know, so I'll, you know, I get that all on a spreadsheet and hopefully I can bring that I'll communicate with Kyle, but get it on the agenda if I can bring that discussion to a board meeting that, you know, however that is
040appropriately done. Um, kind of that recommendation of what that looks like. Um, when you purchase things in multiple year packages, it's a little cheaper. Of course, they give you a discount. The other advantage would be if you're only doing one year at a time, at some point everything's due at the same time. Right. So then those are the things you got to look at and consider with and obviously maybe you'll have a big voice in budget and that stuff but I'm continuing to pick away at it. So something I can present you something but holy cow it's a lot >> but it's a huge investment too and you want to make sure that you're looking at the right you know I mean all the questions too like what is the best curriculum. Well, you're talking
041to salesman, >> right? >> Everybody's the best trying to navigate what's essential and what's secondary and what's tertiary, right? Like skim the >> So, no, I mean it is a big process, you know. >> I mean, I'm not real sure how you guys want to handle that. I'm okay with whatever Whatever >> we would want to do that by spring, right? Which do >> get back together anyway. So for next year, but that's always in the back of my mind. So, I keep thinking about it. >> Well, whatever I mean, whatever you guys come up with when you look at the information that needs to be presented or discussed, I'm you know, you guys can decide if if you think it's a thing that should go first to the committee and then up to the
042full board, fine. If it just comes to the board, that's fine, too. Like, and I certainly don't want the pro I don't want the process to get in the way. >> So, >> I think it's more of just figuring out how to pay for things, right? Because That's always >> argue about what's non-negotiable. You have some people want things a little >> Jada sometimes want things >> so you're like the golden goose right now. Yeah, >> your day's coming. You want something, too? >> You'll say, "Hey, that'd be really neat." >> Hey, that'd be >> um All right. >> It is all good stuff. It's not. >> No, but it's hard to juggle all the different priorities and there are a lot of them. Yep. That's that is the fun of it for sure. >>
043All right. Any questions for Miss Well, filing the election papers closed on the 6th and when our company is the only one who file papers, I think that's a healthy sign for our district. >> Thank you for filing. Yeah, I think that's healthy that there's not >> a plethora of people want to do that. >> There he is now. >> Yeah. sense. I think that's solid by the community showing that hey, you know, they're happy with the direction boards going a schoolboard convention next week. I do have a small uh school district superintendent meeting Wednesday morning of that sessions and then I'm presenting with the Waterford superintendent on passing referendums. Um if you ever hear I'm a disciple of Luke Franis. I think he's like the best of the state. So I'm really excited about
044working with him on it. And then the uh curriculum or the media relations director from Mineral Point, she's our connection and she's got the presentation, all that kind of stuff for us. So, I'm pretty excited about her team there. >> Oh, I'm coming for sure. We ask the hard questions. >> Thank you. >> And then for the fitness center, last year we had nine memberships. We now have seven that have been renewed and six brand new memberships. So, our enrollment for the using the center has increased. So, that's >> I didn't know about that. Like, how do people It's like the gym, right? >> It's the fitness center. >> Come on in. >> You can still do it. It's not like you miss >> and you get and you get a fob that lets you
045in because there's a door to the outside by the parking lot. So, it just lets you right into the fitness center. >> My family just did it yesterday. So, there's no You could do it at any time. >> I just turned mine in tonight. That's why it went from six to seven. >> Oh, I wrote. >> So, seven out of nine returning is great. And picking up six minutes. >> You come on in and see Jessica and then she'll take you. There's just a quick little Yeah, there's And there's just a quick little form that you sign and you give them the money to pay for the thing and you got >> So, is it like per household or is it per >> one member or a family membership >> because I'm just saying for
046me and my husband? >> Yeah, you want a family? >> 15 for >> It's really cool. >> Yeah, you can come on sometime a lot. No, because I saw in the and I was like wait I didn't know that that >> and I was really happy about the expanded hours adding the weekend hours and I think you know when we first did it there was an effort to keep it a little small to see how it went to make sure memberships out we had no idea >> we wanted yeah it's better to expand than to say last year >> but it was but it was >> more limited hours last year and so they then after seeing how it went and Kyle and the team was able to meet and added hours which is great
047and yeah >> yeah it's better to expand than to say that's we got off right >> for sure >> okay it's a good eight members All right. Any questions for Kyle? >> Um, I keep talking. >> So, when you guys are going to the WB, >> I'm the only one that's not going. >> So, and I'm kind of like I wish I had child care. I really do want to go, but I can't. >> Okay. >> So, how how would I get like information on what you guys are learning >> because It would be nice to like >> know what you guys are excited about because don't you like kind of pick and choose whichever you can go to? >> Yeah. So, we'll be picking and choosing which sessions we think are great. Sometimes some
048of us attend sessions together. Sometimes we try to spread out. Depends. It it's kind of all over. Um and usually what we do is one for a lot of the sessions some of their materials are going to be available in electronic form and we can download those so we can share that stuff easily like the PowerPoint and the handouts and that kind of stuff we can share back to others that didn't go to the presentation which would be me >> but also like but even something else so then we can say like sometimes it's like oh goodness there's like three things I want to see but like which one's my priority and then you like perfect. You can watch that one. I'm gonna go here and >> there's like 10 sessions going on at you
049know you can't go. you guys were really excited about it the last year and you're like this is what I learned >> and then usually what we will do is we'll come back at the next board meeting and have some time for us to share anything that was kind of really exciting like something if we like last year I think our takeaway was about the board development tool and some of the board development stuff we wanted to focus on um and so you know whatever whatever the bigger takeaway is this year there's anything that somebody's really excited about and wants to share, we'll make time for that at the board meeting because it's possible that not all of us. It I would say it's unlikely that all four of us attend any of the same
050sessions all together at one time. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> There's just so many different things to see. >> I get that. I just was like, you guys are really excited. Okay, that's >> Yeah, I kind of want to know. And the other thing is that you can look at the agenda of the sessions and you can look through. I don't know if on the website you'll have access to the materials >> right away or if you need >> I don't think right away. >> I don't know if you'll have access to the materials but if there were but you'll have access to the schedule. If there's a session that you're like gosh if I was there that's the session I would try to attend. let me know and we can try to chase down
051the materials for any of those sessions. >> Okay? >> So, it's not the same as having the presentation, but we can get we might be able to get the materials for it if there's >> if you look at the WASB website, there's a whole separate website just for this >> that talks through the schedule and what the things are. >> They promote it and give you like it's such a big deal, >> right? And that's usually there's stuff that's all over. >> Yeah. There's thousands of people at this. >> Yeah. I mean, you guys are in hotels and buffets, right? >> That's part of it, too. I call it networking, but also my kids call it networking, not working, is there all day long. >> I call it not being able to go to bed
052at my usual bedtime, which is an >> Yeah, I >> like really it's eight because I go um Yeah. So, we'll we will have a chance to share um those things when we get back to any other questions. All right. We're on to our board member reports and governance. We don't have any committee reports tonight. Um so, the next thing is to talk about the WSB resolutions. I had sent everyone an email. So, while we're at the convention next week, there's a delegate assembly, which is basically every school district in the state gets to send one representative to the delegate assembly. >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah. This is where I check my email. >> Um, and so, >> so what they do is they furnish ahead of ahead of time. WSB sends the delegate a
053packet that says this is what we're going to be looking at and voting on next week. Now, the delegate assembly is for >> That's okay. Um, so the delegate assembly, it's not we're not setting policy. We're not voting on a thing that's going to become a rule or a law or a policy. What we're voting on is to give the WB guidance on what its membership wants the WASB to support. So when they do their lobbying efforts with state lawmakers, this is the process where they know what they're supposed to try to um advocate for at the state level. So we get input on shaping how the WB behaves. So that's what we're voting on. We're not voting to enact a rule and it's really important that we like focus on that >> and there'll
054be debate there because there'll be varying opinions from across the state. >> Yeah. So what happens is they give us these resolutions the things that I sent to you guys. They give us the resolutions and then there's a whole process of discussion. So sometimes the resolution goes through edits during the assembly and becomes something different during the assembly than what it is on paper right now today. And so the delegate, you know, when I've done this before, you go in kind of with some forethought saying, "Here's what I think I think. here's what I here's what I think we think about a certain issue, but then having to be able to pivot if the way the resolution is written changes because school districts can submit edits during the process. >> Um, so what I sent
055you guys was what we have for the proposed resolutions. Um, and just, you know, sort of my suggestion after conversation with Kyle, we talked through all of them. um and you know said this is what we're suggesting we do with each resolution. Um and the only one we that I really wanted to make sure we talk about tonight was the one where Kyle and I have a difference of opinion >> where I'm like well let's see what the board I'm not surprised because this conversation >> we knew as soon as we got >> Oh yeah I know we agree to disagree and that's all good and I it's not going to matter. It's totally It's totally fine. And so I just thought, well, let's see what the board thinks because that I'm representing us as
056a school district. >> So I'm curious what people think about that resolution. And again, remembering we're not voting to enact a policy. We're simply voting for what the WB should advocate for. >> Do you want to say other people? >> Sorry. The resolution we're talking about is about univer universal state covered meals. It's a resolution that would support state leg state legislation to establish and fund a universal school meal program to cover the costs of all student meals that are not covered by the federal programs. So I think you know the the proponents behind these efforts and other states have undertaken this um you know focus on how it helps students have adequate nutrition. A wellfed student better able to focus in class. There are fewer behavior issues. Um that you know it helps create
057more equity because we do have issues with students who students of need. There's a stigma attached to accessing those meal programs and sometimes students or their families don't access those programs um because of that stigma. Folks who aren't as supportive of this would say that it sometimes then you end up a family gets a benefit when they don't need it. There are families who can afford to pay for their meals and they wouldn't have to if a program like this were enacted. And so I think there are lots of questions from folks about whether or not that's the best place to spend dollars. So there's a few different ways to look at it. >> So I'm curious what what people think. >> Okay. >> So statistically right now 50% of Americans are living paycheck to
058paycheck. I know our cost of groceries are when I look at it feel insane. Um, and not that the school lunches here are like um like overpriced or whatever, but I feel like even to get uh federal funding for school lunches, your income is probably based on like, you know, 725 as the national minimum wage or whatever. such a low bar that people that might be like 5,000 10,000 above that low bar like it's still a struggle to like pay for school lunch and I just think it's food and so if it's available to everyone I don't know I just feel like that's a good thing to be feeding our children >> yeah I I would support this resolution students not based on I support it because what is the account of receiving federal is
059it like 23,000 >> this isn't about receiving federal funds this is about because this this is >> all the anyone who yeah receives fally funded lunch programs going to get it no matter what this is the students who don't the so so the school district would cover it so this Okay. >> So, we're just saying like as a district, do we? >> I um I mean, and I I'll be honest. I go back and forth on this like on a regular basis and I used to be like 100% like why would we not do that? And then after having a conversation with Kyle last year at the school board convention, I started to think about you. I'm like, "Yeah, I like I can pay for my own kids lunches. It's not a big deal." Like,
060that's fine. And then I go back to like, well, you know, there are those families that are, you know, like here's poverty line and they're here. And so it's like that like these are the people who truly be helping out because these people are always going to get the free lunch and that's great. Um but then I also, you know, same thing like how many people are up here that we're going to be, you know, funding that money. So I mean I I go back and forth about it. Um you know, just from an aspect of budgeting, I I was a little bit curious and um I guess I should have asked it when he was reading the audit report, but like you know, the talk about the transferring the money um into our school
061lunch account. So meaning like our our school lunch program,000. >> Yeah. So like we actually have to fund some of that like um because we don't we don't take in enough money through federal funds and through what payments are correct >> to cover it. So So then I look at that, you know, so then there was a little bit of that in the back of my mind too as I was thinking about this was like, well, >> you know, in essence that would be money we wouldn't have to transfer because it would cover that $93,000, right? Um, so and and I'll be honest, like in the in the in the scheme of where things are at right now, I I lean more towards support, you know what I mean? So, like I said, I kind
062of go back and forth, you know, depending on um and not necessarily a certain situation, but I feel like right now things are are definitely more and for children like not support children. >> No, I mean I thought about that during co I was kind of thinking you know of all the places the government spends money like at least it's going right into a food program that's monitored and it has to be you know like it has to meet certain requirements that it's not just you know >> I wish they'd up the threshold some and I wish they let the school have a percentage for the kid, you know, whose family just in adult form and needs it that we can just filter to them. >> Yeah. >> But I during co delivered meals to
063million millionaires homes and they didn't need it, but I we did that. So >> this resolution >> So yeah, I get it. was it was put the resolution was submitted by the Oaklair school districts and they did in their each district provides sort of a rationale for why they're submitting a resolution on a certain topic like why do they think this is important and they did say that um they they said research from the CDC and USDA shows that adequate nutrition improves student achievement and approximately 16% of students come from food insecure households given this the current budget surplus last estimated at roughly 4 billion and the estimated cost of all food food food service programs in the state which is roughly estimated to be 500 million. We hope to ensure each student receives proper
064nutrition and the best chance at success we can offer. And so it does I think they are taking into account in this moment the the higher costs of food and the budget surplus like this is maybe the time to have this >> this conversation and I guess that's what in the past year the price of groceries has gone up like >> and so so I think that that's this you know middle chunk of people is getting bigger you know like the like we we have think we had income, but because expenses are growing so much, it's harder to fill this um gap. So, yeah. So, >> Chris, want to share? >> Well, I appreciate what Renee said because I'm pretty much on that same I've been there, too. Those conflicting ideas. But I did some
065quick research on poverty in Wisconsin and I'm looking at some high numbers that are just that like from 2016 the last reports that came out >> and I'm thinking um are we going to let perfect get in the way of good? >> Yeah. I'm going to air on the side of caution or mercy. You know, it's it's kind of like I'm less concerned, especially in this area. I don't see a lot of millionaires getting sending their kids to school. So, I'm not concerned. There's a lot of parts of rural Wisconsin and and urban Wisconsin that definitely need to have that universal coverage. I think there's some suburban Wisconsin maybe it wouldn't be as big an issue but um since this is not a nuanced proposal I would probably be in favor of the universal state
066covered meals >> that all can change depending on how they handle it all this can be manipulated to be >> I think a valid point almost be nice if you know something like that could be brought up too is like can we just raise the threshold like who qualified and so like here's the federal here's where the state's going to cover and then >> or even looking at a county by county level >> look at these counties you know they tend to be poverty you know >> this is what's going to hold you up for three hours until I get >> well I can promise this one's gonna there's going to be a lot of discussion >> and it is an interesting situation because it's the one time where Frederick school district has and again
067we're not enacting policy in this assembly but it's the one time when Frederick school district has a voice that's as powerful as Wakaua school district >> to advocate for our students in in an issue that matters to us >> um >> which is an interesting dynamic because typically that is not the case >> you know >> well and Chris is right in saying that this kind of takes care of it >> the IRS mileage They change it every six months and you get and it's updated. Boom. When it comes to how many households or people in your household and what your income level is, it comes out once a year. It's like why can't you fast track that too? Fast track is the word you used and >> we have the ability for better metrics.
068Why can't we apply it? Because I I think you're right. >> Very simple to just move those numbers, but they don't. You know, they got the >> CPI every year, every month, you know, but they don't do that. So, >> yeah. Well, I will thanks for everyone's input. I will see how, you know, and again, it's just, you know, we do our little voting and we'll see. I It'll be an interesting conversation. This one has come up before and I'd have to go back and dig out my materials from the previous years to see if um what the conversation was. Obviously, it hasn't passed because it's back again. So, um I mean, it's very possible yet. So, >> because it when we've had this discussion, I mean, this is how the discussion goes in because
069of this stuff. But I think I think that's where some people land is, are we going to let the perfect be the enemy of the good? If I'm choosing between feeding a student who doesn't paying for a student's meal who doesn't really need it and having another student go completely hungry, I'm okay giving the kid a meal who doesn't really need me to pay for it so that this other one can get fed. >> That's how I look at it. So yeah. So thank you. That'll be interesting. Um I do want to say so there was um certainly you know I I shared with everyone you know what what our thoughts were. If you have any um questions about those why we chose we can certainly talk about those. There was we just got an
070email from a district that is going to submit what's called an emergency resolution. So sometimes, so there's a process to submitting these resolutions. Districts submit these resolutions and they have to go through a process and there's obviously deadlines to that. Um the deadline for submitting resolutions was November 7th. And then on November 14th, the state made some specific changes to the special ed reimbursement process. And so there is a district that is going to ask to submit an what's called an emergency resolution, which basically just means it's a resolution that's not submitted in the normal timeline and you have to meet certain criteria for it can't just be like, oh, we didn't get our act together to submit it on time. There has to be a reason. Um, and so they so it's not part
071of the materials. We just got I just got this this morning. Um so it is about um creating a um creating a resolution for the WSB to support legislation to provide the additional funding that is necessary to meet the estimated special education categorical aid reimbursement. Basically asking the state to do what they said they were going to do which is fund it at the 42% level. So they where they said they were going to fund it at 42%. All the districts finalized their budgets and then they came back right after that and said, "Ah, just kidding. We're only going to do 35. Good luck to you." >> And this district is saying, "You you can't do that to districts. Districts are already in process with their with their budget. You can't change the game in
072the middle of a budget year." Um, and so that's what this district is trying to submit is that resolution because it's being submitted outside of the process. The first thing that happens in the assembly when they go to take this up is twothirds of the people at the assembly have to agree to even hear this resolution. So that'll be the first test is do we even get to add it to the list and then we have to if it does get added to the list we have to decide. Um Kyle and I have talked I there's I we would support this. We for sure want the state to do what they said they were going to do with our special education funding. Um, so that that would be the plan if this one does come
073to the floor. Um, so I don't know if there are any others that people were the I sent the last thing on the list in the document that I sent you guys. The last thing on the list was a proposed amendment to the WB bylaws. We've never had one of those before the in the times that I've attended the delegate assembly. It's really interesting. Um, but essentially it's a district that wants to change the WASB membership rules to allow a district to be what's called a limited active member and take themselves out of the advocacy process but still get all the other benefits of WASB membership. When Kyle and I were having this discussion, I mean, where I landed was I don't know why we would want to allow districts to do that. >> Because
074to me, that feels like no, we are this is that's what we're supposed to do is come to the table, advocate for our positions, have discussion, learn from one another. >> Having a district say, "Nope, we're just going to be out of that process." But then they still get to benefit from whatever rules are made >> Yeah. by that advocacy doesn't make a lot of sense to me. So that's why I was suggesting >> All right. >> Um >> the justification for the proposal that they provided is it says that they want to respect member districts rights to d If the advocacy aligns with their local priorities, which I would say that's what you're doing in the delegate assembly already, your district gets to vote on that. They want to preserve the organizational unity by
075preventing full withdrawals because their concern is if you don't allow districts to do this, they just won't be part of the WSB at all. Um, >> take home >> that. Yes. And they want to strengthen transparency and trust by offering choice. I would question whether that's what you're actually accomplishing by doing what you're suggesting. >> So they're they're they say they're trying to strike a balance between collective strength and local autonomy. I again the WSB is not enacting these policies. >> Yes. >> And so you know it's >> I don't know I and it was not That's it. That's what I >> feel like the red hen kind of story. >> Part of that part. Yeah, >> it's you know it's a it was Kettle Marine which is a much much bigger district obviously than
076us. Um making that proposal and you know I I just don't agree. We'll see. I don't maybe other school districts are like yeah we think this is a great idea. It might But I think that that's what's kind of interesting is you get to go to the table, like you said, with a lot of other districts and hear from, you know, bigger schools, smaller schools, >> four other people >> and hear all the different opinions that people have and and and you can always usually tell if it was a good one because everybody's shaking their head. Yes. It's like, >> yeah, >> everybody's like, can we like >> Well, and I just think that yeah, the process is hard and the process is uncomfortable and sometimes the way the majority votes isn't that you vote.
077>> That's democracy. That's what we are. Like I don't >> I don't love the idea of saying that that system can't work >> when that's what our that that's who we are as a nation. We're still a nation that votes and does those things. And for as long as that's true, I I think we need to back that process. >> Can you use a little redhead analogy? I would appreciate that. Yes. In a room I turn your video on. So scary and then I have to go to a microphone and like >> this is kind of like the little red head. >> Can I do a dramatic reading of doing it all for you? >> Depends on how many people are standing at microphones. process would be more >> that is not allowed. >> But
078I want to eat the bread. >> So anyway, it's going to be an I mean it's definitely just going to be an interesting child's presentation. We'll be awaiting the video for >> take over Milwaukee. That's it. >> Yeah. Just my goal is to not make the news. Um, >> okay. >> Yeah. >> Thanks for your input, everybody. I will do what I can. >> Thank you for going through all those. >> Yeah, I was going to say this was super helpful. I mean, yeah, going through I'm like, yeah, I would definitely leave it very user friendly for us. >> Thank you. >> Well, and I needed it to be user friendly for me when I actually go there because I get there and then the discussion happens, I'm like, wait a minute, what am I
079supposed to do? >> What am I doing? What did what did I think about this? sometimes start rereading things. You're like, >> well, and the discussion changes what you think about, you know, sometimes there I mean there is that discussion where somebody will come to the microphone, they're like, yeah, but here's this point. And then I'm thinking, oh, we didn't really think about it that way, you know, and >> once again, why it's good to have that discussion. >> It is. It's excellent. It's I I you guys have heard me say this before. I've never not been fascinated by the delegate. So, you are So >> go ahead. I don't know. It's interesting. >> All right. Um, thank you. So, the next one was just I I've asked a couple of different folks and just
080wanted to have a discussion about the start time of our board meetings. Wondering if we should push to 5:30 as a start time because sometimes sometimes I know I'm rushing from the end of my workday. Others are I know sometimes just because of the child here with my husband getting home. Sometimes he has to stay late or whatever. And so now it's like passing the shifts and I'm like, >> yeah, >> okay, I look really unprepared. >> It just gives a little machine or whatever >> buffer. So I thought and we could we could we could certainly look at six as well. There's no reason there's nothing magical about 5:30. I just was thinking the five o'clock start time has seemed a little harder. >> One of the reasons we hadn't done it years ago
081is that board meetings were a taken a lot longer. We've gotten them to be more efficient. I think they've been a little shorter. So, it doesn't mean staying here until 10 o'clock at night if we push the start time back just a little bit. Um, you know, we want to be aware of people who are having to stay late on a day and come back early the next morning. So, we don't want to start too late, but I would be great at 5:30 time. 5:30 or 6, whatever feels more comfortable. >> I mean, five o'clock works for me. I But I'm I'm happy to start a little bit later to make, you know what I mean, ease into the meeting a little bit more comfortably for everyone, too. So, that's >> No, because do you
082have to stay at school? That's what I'm asking you. >> You just Well, I live right down the street, so Marcus is the one. Um, >> yeah, they were at six before and then we >> some you live. >> Seven sounds crazy to me, but that's Well, even like the kids, too. I mean, maybe 5:30 would be a little bit easier, too. Especially if they're coming out of practice and stuff like that, too. Then they would not, you know what I mean? They maybe just leave a couple minutes early versus having to leave and go back. >> Maybe they could tow up off and put their real t-shirt on. >> 5:30 at 6:00. >> But I mean just you know maybe some of those things too. But I but I agree. I mean being >>
083yeah everybody's stuff like that but maybe shifting to 5:30 and see how it goes. >> Is that a good >> Let's give it a try. Um because we had an actual board schedule that we voted on before, Kyle, do we need a vote to to say yes and then we can record that that happened and then we'll >> start with next month's meeting. So I'm curious, Marcus, are you okay with that? >> I I think I've got the flexibility. If I was at seven, I could also do I could make that work also. So I think it We're not doing that later, but a monthly I think it's more than >> All right. Can I get a motion to make that change? And M will have to adjust that motion. >> Yeah, >> I'll second
084it. >> All right. All in favor? >> I any oppos? All right, we will start with our February regular meeting, moving the start time to 5:30 p.m. >> All right. Um, >> the 18th All right. Um, there's a policy update. >> Oh, yes. >> Acknowledgement that Wisconsin local policy update volume 35 number one technical corrections. The 20 the November 2025 corrections have been completed. >> Those were no changes. Those are those are just >> technical technical corrections noted. So that's part of the process with Niola is that those technical corrections just happen >> which is great. >> Yes, we we want that because then we stay technically in compliance which is exactly what we're what we wanted. >> All right, we're on to our um consideration and possible action items. The first one is consideration
085and possible action of the annual school safety drill report. >> Supposed to do a drill once a year. On the fourth, we did the evacuation that seemed like drilled us and it affected both buildings and we probably will practice something this spring. We always do our monthly fire drill and tornado will be April because it's tornado month. So yeah. >> And there was a lot of followup after Was that the best part? Oh, the best part was that was the best part, >> right? It was a learning. >> Yeah, it was. >> Yeah. But I think you guys did I mean you you took it as a very vibrant learning opportunity as well. >> It's not great that it happened, but because it happened, >> it was nice to have all the law enforcement, the
086federal agents will never get that service again, >> right? >> Yeah. So, it's really good to have all the >> I enjoyed hearing far more things that I did right than not. That was great. I was a win for a while. >> Yeah. All right. Can I get a motion to approve that drill report? >> I will second that. All in favor? >> I. Any opposed? All right. Next one is um consideration and u possible action regarding the available open enrollment seats for the 2627 school year. We're talking about the 26 27 school year. Um, so Kyle and the team always come with recommendations. Do you want to talk through? >> Yeah. In the bottom, those are all our different special education categories and a student is necessary student depending on their needs and services,
087but we're at capacity. You see like a couple were over. That's because we have more residents than what the actual program is. So, um, each grade level does have room at individual grade levels and we cap them based on the current enrollment. If we have one or two sections planned for next year, >> we'll take all the middle school. >> And this is open, right? >> Open students and >> like family moves in >> res. Yeah. Even if you're over and a resident move in, they still end up. So that's how we end up with 11 >> where it says eight. >> Oh yeah. >> Yeah. That's how we end up at >> over because someone moved in and we don't turn away residence ever and once a student is open enrollment in they're in
088our account. Any additional questions for Kyle about the proposed caps? >> If not, can I get a motion to approve the proposal? >> Emily, thank you. All in favor? Any opposed? All right. Next is consideration and possible action regarding the 2627 uh educational options. >> We have the numbers for the state report card and there are all the different options we have for students to take classes. It lists all the classes but it lists all the programs we have which also follows our new policy 2370 which was approved last couple months. So, we're just approving that >> we're going to have early college credit, start college, advanced placement, dual credit, online work study, summer school, youth apprentice, full-time open enrollment program, part-time open enrollment, and courses for homebased private educators of all that. >> I'm
089not sure why they do this, but we do. >> Yeah, >> it's official then. >> Yep, it is official. And if there are any questions, speak now. If not, can I get a motion to approve? >> Are there any programs this year? >> Are there what? >> Are there any new programs this year or the same? >> No, that's the same list as basically as there's no basic. >> It's a basic list. Yeah. There's no new avenues out there. When you get online dual credit, there's still out there. I don't know what else is going to >> There's a lot of different options that fall under under those >> categories themselves are pretty set. I think it's been the same set of categories since >> Yeah. >> All right. Can I get a motion to
090approve? >> I'll second it. All in favor? >> I oppose. >> All right. The next is consideration and possible action regarding the 2627 and the 2728 boys hockey co-op agreement. I'll let Kyle talk a little bit about how these agreements operate. It's it's a two-year agreement through the WIA and it takes us and I don't even know all our hockey schools. It's Siren. >> Yeah. >> And allows us in case one of our students or a couple of students want to play hockey, they can join that team. Otherwise, they wouldn't have a team. And currently in high school, we do not have any hockey players, but we do have some middle school and up and coming. So, we want to stay a part of the agreement because It absolutely flows. >> Are we the lead
091school right now? >> No, we're not. >> But it does rotate. >> Yeah, we were. And then >> Yeah, but we're not for this. >> We're not right now. Okay. >> That's why Joe Dler just got these >> because the others had to get it from their schools to get it to us. >> Yeah. >> He wasn't sure if it would be now or next month, but when he got the school was put on the agenda and get >> for sure. >> Yeah. All right. Any other questions? >> Can I get a motion to approve? >> Motion to approve. >> All in favor? >> Any opposed? >> All right. The next one is consideration and possible action regarding the 2627 gymnastics co-op agreement. That one's only one year. >> I don't know why it's just
092one year, but that's >> okay. Grass is the host. are in a building separate from the school building is my understanding. >> Yeah, they have to rent that. So, they have to work that out as well. >> Um, currently we don't have any high schoolers in it, but we do have a lot of younger. >> There's there's quite a handful. >> There's quite a few at the elementary 8 to 12 >> if they'll keep doing it. I don't know. Yeah. >> And again, these agreements provide opportunities for our kids. And that's that's to me that's always a stay a part of it, you know, even though we don't have someone this year, next year. It allows that people know that it is an option within our district to still activities. >> I think it's I
093think that's >> it's still different like cross country this year luck had the majority of their runners, but now this spring will have more golfers than they will. So, it es and flows over time. Can I get a motion to approve? >> I will second. >> All in favor? Any oppos? All right, that's it for open session. We're going to take a quick break. We do have a close session um meeting tonight. So, let's take a five or six minute break and we'll get going in close session. Do you want >> No, that's your copy for >> um you're going to be reading them cover to cover >> out loud. >> No, you can have it. >> You can have it. He gave that for to rain.
