001years before everything is required. There's got to give me some more updates as districts. I mean, like Erin said, we're kind of ahead of the curve, you know, due to the work that's I mean, one of the one of the things that's highly recommended is students who fall below that 25th percentile. You continue to have that intervention in summer programming. So, right now, Jess Richtor is doing intervention. She pulls kids for 30 minutes during summer school and then comes up to this building and does the same thing. So all of those kids are continuing to have intervention for the next 3 weeks. Yeah. Um now that doesn't mean parents agree to it. You know, we have some families who didn't send the kids to summer school, but we offer it. So we are in compliance
002with all of that. Sure. Um but again, it's like you can put it in a plan, but they have to show up. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we can keep our eye on it and just see how things go. I just wanted to be clear for parents what their options and what their path is. Those were my questions. Anyone else got questions they want to ask? If not, I get a motion to approve. We'll second that. All right. All in favor? I. Any oppos? All right. Policy is approved. One down. Like, that's why we don't do them one at a time or all at once. Sorry. All right. So, second stuff here. Next we are on to our action items. The first action item is about um consideration and possible action regarding property and liability insurance renewals.
003We go through SFR insurance broker and they're recommending that we stay with EMC. I don't know what the percentage increase was but they were shopping around. I know last week Tuesday and I can't percentage but like five or 6% pretty normal. So my recommendations go with EMC for our property insurance and liability. All right. Can I get a second? I second that. All in favor? I opposed. All right. Have property and liability insurance. Um, next on to the solar panel installation. There were a couple of uh proposal documents in board member extras. take a look at. There's four locations that they first looked at. A is out on the baseball field of the highway. B is kind of more past the shot area. C is by the playground and D is right out over here.
004Um, go ahead. You can speak while talk about it. Um, and I actually I can't open my extras and things like that. I can't see. But um it sounded like uh so Chris Smith from Legacy Solar came out and put this together. It sounds like had a good walk around the grounds to decide what the possible locations are and provided these locations which um were some new locations for what Carl and Kyle may be thinking about originally. And then um in our committee um meeting we were really all gravitated towards the location D as being um a good location for a number of reasons. One, it would be visible um for the school. It kind of signals that we're we're doing this thing. We have this solar, but it would also serve as a great
005learning opportunity for students. Um they can use it in um lessons for classes of how it works. they can go out and kind of um have classify it and then they can monitor what's going on. So, it would provide a much easier access for learning for the students as far as um that goes and then it was just a closer access to main for Carl. But we had come up with something else of maybe bringing it slightly in. Did Chris talk about that? Bringing it slightly closer. Maybe slightly closer. The reason D's also engages A and B feeding your different um meters and those are meters that we don't use too much because the cover hits the sign and lights out there so it doesn't do a whole lot. So our payback isn't as fast
006whereas we can tie it into the building which cd would. It's better and we have lightning near the playground. Um, I thought about that too when I saw the playground. I like that. So, we thought that'd be a good spot for it cuz it ties in this building and then um it would just work for us. And I do think science teachers could use it as a reference. It is um something that we can expand upon in the future. They can attach another one to it. And so that's edit scripts. I think I think this is the way the world's going. So, yeah. Do we know the donated the donation? Do we know if it's going to be 10 or 20? I forget from her proposal. Well, we're recommending it depends if you go with
007two panels or one panel. And we're recommending going with one to start with, which gives us more dollars for installation. And then if it works, then we want to add more in the future expense. We thought start with one, see how it goes, and then add on and that would cover more of the cost. Um, so that's the difference between the 10 and the 20 and there's our cost, but you got to know we have a $10,000 donation coming from there, right? And there's something else. These are estimate numbers. He thinks that it could be better than that, but he estimated low, which we appreciate. So want to go low. So, so they like build one panel and stuff. That's a big point. Guess since we talked about it, one rather than I think this
008is the way the world's going to go. I kind of when I was thinking about it or whatever like even driving up that's where I thought it would go because I've seen like students I don't know like out there I don't know if it's like during recess or whatever like groups of like study you know or something. Yeah like Oh yeah. Yeah. I don't just driving past I'm like I've seen students out there and it seems like a place that was they're drawn to. So it'd be kind of cool to Well, I like that it's visible, but it's still very monitor. You know what I mean? I like the building and then yeah, if something happens, it's probably the shovel still off, you know, that kind of stuff and it's handier for him out here.
009So, the the putting on is it's not mobile. Um, mine's mobile. So, you see the tilt. We don't do a lot of snow shoveling. Good. It usually is it will self clean. Um, I use a broom every once in a while. Okay. That's not what they they told you you're have some trouble once in a while. So, okay. So, but it is going to be a tilt one. Yeah. Yeah. That's good to know. Pretty high upright like this during January. Okay. I guess the other thing is different months will be different. So, that's something where the science class can look at it a couple times during the year and say I was thinking science. Yeah. Well, and they have the it Chris mentions the monitoring software that goes along for classroom education which is excellent.
010So, it's really Oh, yeah. I kind of forgot about that. Yeah. Yep. You can monitor and like that's that's what would the timeline for installation be if we do we know that yet? I don't know that. We would go ahead and go and give it to them. It depended when the other panels are delivered to the project down south of here, right? I don't I don't know. They were tying that into the other project and they were hoping that it would follow the same timeline because they felt like it would be more efficient. Yeah. I don't remember. I know Carl wasn't happy with storing the panels in his shed for a while. He'd like to get it installed. Yeah, for sure. Yes. I think this is pretty exciting. So if we approve this, we're the
011spend is about it says 16,000 estimate final cost. We'll get 10,000 as a donation. Yeah. And then the payback will come back and Right. Yeah. years of savings on the electricity rate of what the electricity cost and how much you produce on the panel. Yeah. And if we like it, we can add more, right? I do think our installers can come talk to the science class once a year if you ask. They're really nice people for about an hour. I just got a feeling that's okay. All right. You can just get a feeling that they were Okay. Yeah. Yeah. That would be a very cool expedition. Any other questions? All right. If not, can I get a motion to approve the proposal? I'll make that motion. I'll second that. All right. All in favor? I.
012Any oppos? Excellent. Let's do solar. Yeah. Like it. That's exciting. What an exciting donation. Be cool. That's just That's just fun. Yeah, that's exciting. All right, so our last um our last action item tonight is consideration and possible action regarding a school site contract. I'm going to bring it over. Currently, we purchase our school site for services from CIS 11 and we get.5 FTE every time I'm employed. Our person that we have is being reassigned to the Splinter School District for four days a week. So they're going to lose them and we'll get someone else from CISA. And we really like Lindsay and the job she's doing. So we kind of like to keep her. CISA 11 is also short one school site at this point for the number of districts they have to service.
013Luck is looking for is contracting through CISA 11 for 04 FTE. And so I met with Lindsay and found out what she was making there and what we're being charged by CISA which was $7,000 last year and probably luck is getting charged a little bit less than that. There'll be an increase to CISA for that. So I talked to Lindsay about could we hire her here at Frederick. she sell 40 to sell her 40% to as a 90% employee and sell her 40% to lock on a shared agreement and she was in favor of that. um she would like a salary of 76,500 and then with benefits FICA and uh FICA and WRS it'd be $108,000 total but we pay 59s of that and um luck would pay four nights of it. However, I don't
014know what our family insurance rate is going to be yet cuz we don't have our rates. But it's going to save us at least $10,000, maybe $11,500 if the insurance comes in a little bit lower, I think. But so, and Luck's going to save 9 to 10,000. We'll save a little bit less cuz only 40%. So, I'd like the motion to approve hiring our school site under that agreement provided that luck approves it on Monday night. I don't want to be on the hook if something falls through on their end, but it's another opportunity to share and each one of us will save about $10,000 and see they'll be employed, but they won't have to worry about our two districts and then we get the person we want. Tell Lindsay's last name. She's fantastic. Yeah.
015So, we're really disappointed when she told us, "Hey, I'm going to scooter next year." So, well, I will go ahead and make that motion because yeah, um we just need to make sure that the motion reflects that our that our approval is pending Lux additional approval when our board meets next week. Yeah. Um, so so that's how so our approval only remains in place if they also approve and Lindsay is well aware that her and I are meeting again tomorrow but we've had well in phase discussion email discussions to get to this point so she understands it's a partnership with lots I'll second that motion okay all in favor I. Any opposed? All right. Approve. We're on to discussion and establishing future dates. So, we have our board retreat coming up on Monday, June 30th.
016And just a quick reminder, we will be discussing the five voices book a little bit at that meeting. I'll get something out to everybody before June 30th. It's just some like guide for that discussion. So, there's no like no one's being asked to do a book report or anything like that. So, um we'll just try and have some discussion of that of that book and I'll get something out to everybody so you know kind of what that's going to look like. Um I know so policy committee you guys are looking for a date either June 7th or July 7th or 8th time whatever time works for you. Let's open during the day. Yeah, I'm open all day. So for all day. So there's preference. So yeah, I'm open. Sometimes I lean towards morning then. Like
017let's get in the morning and then Yeah. What time you want to start? Are we Monday or Tuesday? You guys pick. It doesn't matter to me. I mean, what does Monday morning look like for you? Does it matter? sometimes before I shoot. Let's put two pages. I mean, I prefer 6:30 meeting over, you know, 10:00 meeting. Okay, that works. All right. Oh, yeah. We don't have to. We can just make this one because last time Yeah, it's just Yeah. Yeah. We're not dependent on that on this one. And you're looking for a finance committee meeting. That's a reminder. Check with Libby. Of course, daytime works for her anytime, but she said July 9th, 10th, or 14th. She can be later after hours if that if during the daytime doesn't work for you, too. Let's see.
018My um I do have Monday during the day available like Monday the 14th during the day. So that one's pending. So maybe if we looked at we could if if you don't mind doing evening the 9th 10th or 11th I could do it 4:30 or um 9th 10th and 14th 9th 10th and 14th okay 11th is a Friday night that's yes yes yes sorry of course um yeah so maybe just unsure the 14th either the 9th or at like 430 I can do either one of those let's do the nth Okay. 9 to 430. 4:30. Okay. And her discussion is going to be around our fund balance. Even though we're short-term borrowing in June, our budget was set to be about 14 or five 15,000 in the positive with the referendum passing. And she's estimating
019at this point it's going to be about 40,000 in the in the so better than what we anticipated. So that's good. So, she's going to talk about fund 46 and fund 10 where we should be putting our money and then we probably bring it to the board on the 16th to make the final decision. Okay. Okay. Okay. So, sounds 4:30 and the 9th. Okay. And then our regular board meeting for July will be on Wednesday, July 16th, 5:00 p.m. So, those are all of our dates. All right. Mischief managed. Can I get a motion to adjurnn? I'll make a motion to second that. April. All in favor? I. Any opposed? All right. Look at that. 5:49 summer meeting. Thank you. Quick one in a while. In a while. You were due for a quick one.
020There been some long ones lately. A side.
