We welcome to our September school board meeting. Uh we're going to do things just a little different today because it's September 11th and we want to remember those people that gave a lot. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to read a a statement from the administration and us uh following that statement. I would like to have just a moment of silence as we bow our heads and remember those that lost their lives. So having said that let me read
002this. I first of all too, I'd like to excuse John and Angela. Angela's family is having some medical issues and I think John's off playing somewhere. So, we wish him well a lot. Okay. Before we begin this evening's meeting, we pause to remember the tragic events of September 11, 20, excuse me, 2001. On that day, our nation was forever changed as nearly 3,000 innocent lives were lost in the terrorist attacks on the United States of America. We honor the memory of those who perished, including first responders who showed remarkable courage and selflessness. And we stand in support of the families who continue to carry their loss. As we reflect, let us be reminded of the strength and compassion, the unity that carried our nation through those dark days. And I invite you all of us
003to join together in a moment of silence. Not only for the honor of the lives of what we lost, but renew our commitment to kindness, service, and community. So, if we could just maybe have a moment of silence and bow our heads for that. Thank you very much. Also, I would like to uh go ahead and start our meeting by having a pledge of allegiance and Mrs. Anderson is going to lead it. Thank you. I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Thank you very much. Let's go ahead and get started. Uh item 2.1, I believe, approval of agenda. >> I move to approve the agenda. I second it. Got a

San Diego. >> He's somewhere. >> Okay. >> We're not quite sure. >> Yeah, that's this is where I wish my background is where I wish I was and you were all with me. >> Well, I know where I wish you was. So, at this time, if the Whipple principal could come up and she's got some presentations. Cool. Please face the board. >>
006Hello. >> Can you say hi? >> Hi. >> Okay. Can you hear me? Okay. All right. So, with me today I have I call them my legendary students and staff. And today we have Mary Goss. She's a second grader at Whipple Ranch. and she was chosen by her teachers because she shows what it truly means to be a kind and caring person every single day. Mary, this is what the teachers um sent to me. So, Mary is sweet and friendly to everyone she meets. She's always willing to help her classmates and teachers and she shows great compassion when someone is having a hard day. Mary thinks about others people's feelings and she treats others with respect and empathy always. Her teachers say that she is thoughtful, dependable, always ready to lend a hand. Mary's caring
007heart and positive attitude make her a wonderful friend and a role model for all of her classmates. We are really proud of you, Mary, and you set such a good example for Whipple Ranch Elementary. Your character and actions reflect the values of kindness, compassion, and empathy every day. And you are such a good Whipple Ranch Cougar. And I have the the board has this for you, an award. Okay. And I have a gift for you when we go. Okay. So, we'll leave that right here. Do you want to switch trust for a minute? Switch spots with trust. Okay. All right. Ironically, Truss is also a second grader at Whipple Ranch. And I just realized today that they're both in the same class. So, also with great pride, we like to recognize Trust Row. He is
008the second grader at our school and he was chosen also by his teachers because he truly represents the values and spirit of our school. Trust is an exceptional young man who demonstrates demonstrates empathy, kindness, and respect in all that he does. He goes out of his way to help his classmates, offering a listening ear or a helping hand whenever someone is in need. His teachers describe him as a student who not only thrives or strives for academic excellence, but also uplifts those around him with his positive attitude and generous heart. In addition to being responsible, trust carries himself with a sense of maturity well beyond his years. He is a true gentleman, which I actually saw today in class. Um, Mrs. Lopez's class came to read or you read to Mrs. Lopez's class and he
009gave up his seat for a young lady and he stood so she could sit and he read to her. >> I gave up seats to everyone that I read to. >> Oh, to everyone that he read to. I just saw one. So, good job, Truss. Um, he's always thoughtful, polite, and he does the right thing even when no one is watching. We are really proud to honor you, Trust, for the example you set each day at Whipple Ranch. Your character and actions reflect the values of hard work, pres perseverance, and kindness um shows every day. And you are a great little ranch cougar, too. >> Thank you. >> You're welcome. I'm going to have you hold that. And I have a a present for you, too. Okay. You want to stand next to Mary for
010me? >> Good job. Okay. >> Do you see? This is why I come back every day. >> In the same class. >> My true friend. >> She is a true friend. I love it. >> Yeah. So with trust. >> Same with trust. >> Same. So the next person I want to recognize is Miss Ashley Empress. So she is our instructional coach at Whipple Ranch and she has been with us for the past four years. Right. Four. >> I don't know why it's gone so fast. Um >> four years. >> You think four years? >> Yeah. >> She has made an incredible impact on our staff, our students, and our community. Ashley is someone who lifts others up. She's always helpful, kind, friendly, greeting everyone with a smile, and always a cheerful spirit. Her compassion and
011encouragement shine through in every interaction that she has. She's constantly inspiring those around her to grow and to believe in themselves. As a leader, Ashley is strong, fair, and reliable.

We are proud to honor Mrs. Ashley Empress for the difference she makes each and every day at Whipple Ranch Elementary.

[Applause] >> So, do we have to do the pictures? >> Yes, we have to do the pictures. >> So, we're going to stand up here. >> Put this down here. >> Set this. >> Sure. >> If you want to set it, you can. You want to hold it open, Mary? >> Ready. One, two, three. Good. >> So, can we go ahead and give the parents a round of applause also? [Applause] [Laughter] Thank you, Ashley. >> Thank you. >> Congratulation, guys. >> Bringing everybody up. >> Oh, >> congratulations. Thank you for being a great cougar. You >> guys are awesome. >> Yep. [Applause] >> No way. >> Way. This is for you. >> This is for >> Oh, a goodie bag, too. What do you know?
013>> Birthday. >> I didn't even know. >> I love you. >> And according to my agenda, we don't have any more gifts to give out. Is that correct? We're out of luck. >> Out of luck. Okay, let's go ahead and go to 5.2 uh first reading of model policy update. Uh Dr. Farnsworth, >> so the legislative session has ended and there were quite a few changes. So you'll see this is the first reading. One thing that I want to point out to the board is that one of the policy updates for mandatory reporting and this is for child abuse or sexual abuse. The law specifically states that school board members are now expected if you come in contact with firsthand knowledge that you are required to be a mandatory reporter to the police. And so
014it it's a change in the state and I just want to make sure you're aware of that that if that ever happens to you and someone comes up to you in the grocery store and says I don't know if you know this but so and so then you you may have a responsibility to report in the way that this changed now it's not to the SRO it's not to DCS it's straight to the police and so >> if that happens call call the dispatch number and then they will take a report and throw that out in >> always call us and we'll we'll help work with you. >> Okay. >> Anything else in this policy we need to be aware of? >> No, it it we're already implementing the no cell phones on campus and
015limiting the wireless access for students on our campuses and our IT department doing that. That's the latest and greatest in terms of policy. >> Okay. Well, thank you very much. This this obviously is a first reading so it's not an action item. John, do you have any questions or anything on that? >> No sir. Thank you. >> Okay. Thank you. Let's go to 5.3 then. Uh principal reports. Um Dr. Farnsworth. >> So again, I just want to thank our principles for doing a hard, difficult, lonely job. They've submitted their reports and I want to thank them for the reports that they do submit highlights that are happen. >> Thank you. We do appreciate them. >> Yes, I I appreciate appreciate them also. It's it's good to have them back. So, uh, you guys got any
016questions on the reports or want to make a comment or >> Okay, let's go to, uh, 5.4, monthly financial report. Mr. Davis, >> thank you. So, if you remember part of my annual report, I said that I'd start doing monthly financial reports. So, this is the first one. Um you have a graph there of the M budget which shows you the budget of 23.8 million and then the yeartoate expenditures. So this is the actual expenditures as of 93 of 2.8 million and then the incumbrance. So just as a reminder incumbrances are the obligated expenditures but not actual expenditures. So those are at 11.7 million which is a majority of salaries and benefits. So that's why that is so large but again they're not spent actuals but they're obligated expenditures which leaves us a current budget
017balance of 9.2 million for this year. Now, this does not this was the um adopted budget which did not include the 2% inflation that the legislature passed because of course they did not pass it till June 30th. So, we'll be I'll be doing a revised budget by December that will have that inflation. So, our budget will go up um at that time. >> Okay. >> So, that's the M budget. And then if you look at the second, if you looked at the second one, the DAA budget, which is our capital budget, the budget is 3.1 million. So we've actually spent 588,000. Our incumbrances at this time is 680,000, which gives us an ending budget balance of 1.8 million. So that will be um mostly for um facility repairs and maintenances is anything like that. We
018did currently buy a special ed bus um which was desperately needed. We need more buses but unfortunately with this type of a budget that's not possible. So um we're we're working I know Frank and I are working on and Dr. Dr. Farnsworth are working on a schedule of bus replacements, but um with buses and facilities, this uh is not a good budget to have, but we do the best we can. And then with the school facilities board, we'll do what we can, but they're even strapped for money at this time. Um just got a report from Asbo that um the money that they got this year is covering the projects that they didn't cover for last year. So it's going to be tight this next year with the SFD. >> I'm afraid it's going to
019get tighter and tighter as we get farther. >> Uh but Dr. Farnsworth did say that we might still have a pretty good carryover, maybe four and a half, five million. >> Yes. Yeah. So, I'll be working on the AFR this month. Um, I'll be be bringing that to you October 2nd. And it does look like we will have a very good cover carry forward for both M and Capital. >> When you guys do develop that schedule um of the transportation buses and and such that are going to need replacement, can you please share that with us as well? >> Yes, absolutely. Yes, we'll definitely bring that to you guys as Yeah. as well as our our capital plan. Um Frank's been working on the capital plan for the facilities and a good um maintenance program.
020So, we'll definitely be bringing all that to you guys. >> Great. Thank you. >> And that's my report. Thank you guys. >> And I just want to point out to the board that the state of Arizona has been found in negligent of capital finance um funding >> and that was a recent court um finding this summer. So, at the ASBA legal conference, there's a lot of legal maneuvering with the state and with the the people who fought the the battle. Um, and so we know that they need to pay more money for school facilities. We know that they're not living up to their responsibilities, but we also know that the state legislature is going to appeal, appeal, appeal because they there's just too many projects which I mean there's I think 137 million above what
021they've allocated for for this year. So, >> but that was good news for them. This is a lawsuit that's been going on for eight years, right? And the fact that they won it is is good. And yeah, they are going to appeal it, but um the lawyers because we got the same report at ASBO this week, but they were very encouraged by it. And so the state's going to have to do something. >> So maybe in another eight years we'll figure out something, huh? >> Maybe. >> Yeah, that's that's really unfortunate. You guys have any questions? >> Okay, let's move to the next one. 5.5 which is uh superintendent report. >> So, so just a couple of highlights. I was able to attend the ASBA legal conference with Stacy and John and uh get the
022legal updates. Um I've started to meet with all of the campus principles and all the directors and start reviewing their smart goals for the year. And so I'm in the middle of that process. Um, I've gone to every campus and have distributed our posters with the new vision, mission, and guiding principles. And I've spoken to every faculty. And so, every classroom should have those. Every department should have those. And so, we're we're continuously communicating that here's the new expectations for that. and with with the help with our uh director of curriculum and instruction, she and I have started visiting each campus to talk about data. And we've been doing data walks and some classroom visits to see how how is how are students doing, how are our teachers doing, what does the data indicate so
023far and like what kind of interventions are we going to start putting in place throughout the course of the year. So, we're at various different levels on various different campuses, but I'm very encouraged by what the principles are doing with their staff to start having those conversations and moving the needle on that academic achievement and growth. So, those are just some of the highlights. >> Thank you. >> Yeah. Thank you, Stacy. Since you went to that, do you have anything you want to bring up? >> It was good. The political agenda passed Courtney the what they changed. in master send it to you guys. >> Kind of fighting for the same thing as past years. >> Not a lot of change, huh? >> No. >> Okay. Well, I appreciate that. That's not an action item.
024Uh let's let's talk a little bit on discussion of the superintendent goals. Dr. Partsworth. So, I it's that time of year where we look at the goals that I've selected and I've put those in in for your review. I just wanted you to be aware of what I'm what I'm proposing. I'm welcoming any feedback that you have. And just for the public, there's there's four areas that I'm using as a framework for my for my professional goals for the district. I'm looking at the identity of the district. I'm looking at the culture of the district. I'm looking at the academics of the district and then the continuous improvements efforts of the district. So, I've started putting goals um into each of one of those buckets. And uh as we go throughout the year, I'm sure
025those are going to grow. Um but you can see right now some of my thoughts and some of the metrics that that I'll be looking for. And I'm open to feedback or suggestions or anything else that you guys would would like me to look at in terms of my goals for the year. >> Is that something that maybe would be on the uh our study session to discuss some of that stuff? I I do have it on as a a discussion item on this our upcoming study session for September 23rd. I wanted you to have it in advance. Um feel free to just let me know what your thoughts are, but I wanted you to be aware and and feel free to give me any feedback of of what you'd like me to see, what
026you would like me to do. And >> I thought it looked really good. >> Okay. >> I wouldn't change anything. >> Thank you. I for one am appreciative of what you've done, what you brought to our our our school and the hard work that you do. I don't think it goes unnoticed. So, thank you. Thank you. >> Okay. Uh let's go ahead and go to the classified personnel employment. Uh Dr. Farnsworth. Um, as you can see there, there's I think Shaye, if you can scroll down a little bit. I think there's we've got some substitutes, uh, event workers, and then a kindergarten aid. And we would ask that you would approve those for for hire. >> I move to approve as presented. >> I'll second. >> Okay, we got a motion and a second to
027approve as presented. Uh, any other discussion? If not, all in favor? I >> I motion passes. >> Okay, let's go to 6.1 >> or excuse me, 6.2. We just was at 6.1. Uh uh certified personnel transfers, resignations, and terminations. Dr. Farnsworth, >> I think we just have two people on this item here and we're so sad to see our counselor at the junior high um leave and she she's done a great job for the junior high. And so if anyone's watching that's a counselor, we're looking at the junior high and we're also transferring that that one individual from a substitute contract. She's also working at the junior high and is teaching full-time language arts. >> I move to appro to approve certified employment actions as presented. >> I'll second it. >> Got a motion and
028a second to approve the certified employment actions as presented. Any other discussion? All in favor? I >> I >> motion carries. >> Okay. Approval of city of of Xolo IGA. Dr. >> So, we've had a long-standing relationship with the city of Xolo. This is a an IG that we've had for multiple years. They did add uh a few elements on our behalf, some audiovisisual equipment that they're going to be donating to our one of our CTE classes. And Rocky Merrill, who's the teacher, and he's aware of all this. So they've already approved the IGA and the expectation is that with this new audiovisisual equipment that our students when asked by the city will go to different events, record, edit, publish and so we're excited. We appreciate the city of Xolo and I see no no
029resignations about no no issues about adopting this with the city. >> Good. I'm glad that they uh threw in and we're happy to reciprocate. So Rocky does a great job. >> I move to approve the city of Xolo IGA as presented. >> Second. >> Motion a second to approve the uh IG as presented by the city of Xolo. All in favor? >> I motion passes. Okay. 6.4. Uh property transfer to Clay Springs Foundation. >> Dr. Farnsworth. So 10 years ago, the Xolo Unified School District entered into a contract with the county and they took over the Clay Springs School building and property. And for the last 10 years, the county has been managing that. Um, and now there was a proposal that they would like to sell the property, which which is in the contract,
030which is perfectly legal, to the Clay Springs Foundation. And but in the contract it states that the Xolo Unified School District shall have the first right of refusal. So we we get to sign off on the on the transfer of the property. I've worked with our legal department and we've been able to add language into the the deed in the contract. So that my recommendation is that yes, let's wave our first right of refusal. That's the That's the motion is that we're waving our right and that that property should go to the Clay Springs Foundation because we're we're proposing that we're putting in language into the the deed for a deed restriction that they cannot ever use that property for a charter school, a home school, a private school, or any type of educational facility.
031And they agreed to that. And both attorneys for the county and our attorney have agreed to that language. And so I'm recommending to the board that we approve the waving of our first right of refusal. So the property will go to them for a dollar. >> You know, I thought that was in the original contract, but evidently not. Huh. >> It was in the original contract, but now that they're ready to sell it to the to the Clay Springs Foundation, a new contract would have to be developed. And so our attorney said, "We're going to put it in the deed." So, wherever the deed goes, whoever they sell it to, it's going to be a deed restriction forever and ever and ever. And I I really like that nuance in the in the >> negotiation.
032So, it's not going to be in the contract. It'll be in the contract, but also in the deed. >> Okay. >> Uh and you're happy with the language. It's in the new contract. We're very happy with the language and I've talked extensively with the board president and make sure he was aware that this was the negotiation and I feel like it's in the best interest of not only Clay Springs but also in Xolo that they can have the building, they can use the building, but we're not going to allow them to put a school or home school or any type of educational facility out there. >> John, do you have any comments on that? Are you you're good on that? >> I don't. Um, just back when we originally did this, that was one of
033the things that I insisted on was that we had right of first refusal. And so, this has all worked out well, I think. And, um, it's it's been a wonderful thing for them to have out in the community, and I hope it continues to be a an advantage to them and their their folks out there. >> Right. I agree. Okay. I move to approve the waving of the right of first refusal for the property transfer to the Clay Springs Foundation as presented. >> Second. >> Uh got a motion in a second to wave the right of the first first right of refusal on the Clay Springs property uh as presented. Did I get that right? >> Okay. Any more discussion? All in favor? >> I >> Motion carries. Thank you, John. Uh I don't think
034see Scott here today is >> are you covering uh we've had quite a few athletic events. We've had a cross country meet all day >> and so there there's quite a few events. We have volleyball games tonight, cross country events and so they're they're like spread out covering events tonight. >> That is his job. So >> that is his job. >> You want to take this or you want me to? >> I'll I'll I'll take I'll answer any questions. So, um, under the advice of the board president, we we went out to renegotiate our media contract and contacted other vendors who may want to cover our athletic events. Um, what you see in front of you is an increase in in revenue sharing that this the new media contract reveals. So, the Simmons contract which
035is attached is the old contract, but the fees have gone up through the negotiations of Mr. Hoffmeer and uh the Simmons media and so they have agreed to this these this pricing structure. No other media groups were able to compete and so we recommend that the board approve the contract with Simmons Media with the new pricing structure >> and this is revenue that the district will receive correct in our athletics. >> Correct. >> Okay. >> This goes into the athletics or districtwide. I'm not exactly sure where in the budget line item it goes, but I know these are funds that we would recoup. I would imagine they would go into the athletic pot, >> right? >> Okay. Well, good job, Scott, even though you're not here. Uh, you guys have any more questions? You happy?
036>> That's the only thing I have. I move to approve the activity broadcasting agreement with Simmons Media for all school year activities as presented. >> Second. Motion and a second to approve the activity broadcasting agreement with Simmons Media for all of 202526 school year activities as presented. All in favor? >> I >> motion carries. Okay. 6.6 outreach intervention. Dr. Farnsworth. >> So we have a SIG grant that pays up to 10 hours of outreach. And so Reagan Roach, our Wii coordinator, she does a lot of after hours uh calling, coaching, mentoring, home visits. And so this this would allow her to get compensated for those after hours visits up to 10 hours. And it's paid out of the SIG grant. And we recommend that you would approve that. >> Very good. >> Interventionist. >> Yeah.
037>> I move to approve the outreach inter interventionist position as presented. I'll second. >> Okay, we have a motion, a second to approve the outreach intervention as presented. Any other discussion? >> I just wanted to confirm it was 10 hours per week. Correct. >> Yes, ma'am. >> Good. Good. Good. Okay. All in favor? >> I motion. >> Passes. Okay. Back to uh we're up to 6.7. uh a self-contained professional paraprofessional position. Dr. Hornsworth, >> as as we've discussed from time to time in special education, if there are students that through the IEP process require more individualized attention or maybe we have a student that moves into our district that has that in their IEP that they have maybe a one-on-one aid, we are obligated to provide that. And so looking at our staffing model, we
038are asking the school board to approve a brand new position to meet the needs of of a particular student with with an IEP that outlines that they need more more support. >> Are we um we are reimbursed by the by the state or that on us? We we do file Medicaid and I'm and maybe Shaylee can kind of fill in the gaps, but we do file Medicaid reports so we get reimbursed and then I know uh our director of special education will be applying for a new grant this year for high needs students that we can get reimbursed from the state. Um we have not been approved yet, but I know we're going to be applying for that grant. Okay. >> And then those >> those students do get a higher weight from the state
039for funding. Well, rightfully so. We want to give a good service. >> Absolutely. >> Appreciate those that are doing that. So, >> okay. I'll entertain a motion. >> I move to approve the 32-hour repair professional position for Whipple Ranch Elementary self-contained classroom as presented. >> I'll second that. >> Any other comment? Okay, we have a motion, a second to approve the 32-hour parapa professional position for the Whipper Ranch Elementary self-contained classroom as presented. All in favor? >> I. >> Motion carries. Thank you very much. Uh gifts and donations. Want to do it or you want me to? >> It's Go right ahead, sir. >> Go for it. We we we have several donations from the community. Um so you can see there the first several are at the high school Highline vending um I don't
040know Ohio pile prints Frank Damato um athletics K12 licensing culinary uh to Mr. Crawford cooking equipment in the amount of $4,000. At the junior high, White Mountain Women's Club, $200 and school supplies for $6750.50. And at Whipple, Amazon school supplies uh totaling $1,600. White Mountain Women's Club, again, they're donating school supplies under $123.50. at Nicholas. Uh, students without backpacks, the Elk Riders have donated backpack supplies for $363 and the White Mountain Woman's Club, we've been very busy donating to everyone $200. So, we just want to publicly thank all of those community partners for their donations and ask that the board approve those >> as well. Do we want to thank them and we appreciate all the the good help that we get from people in this city. Thank them. Any any comment on that? Kelly,
041you got anything on that? >> Nope. Just with the big thanks, I move to approve. >> Second. >> Uh, we got a big thanks with a move to approve. Gifts and donations as presented.

I'll get there in just a second. Um, soul source vendor, Mrs. Davis. >> So, when we have a vendor that we can only get the products or services from one person or one vendor, I should say, um, we have to bring that to the board for approval. So um this year's um theatrical uh performance will is um that copyright is only um can provide can be provided by music uh
042theater international. Um so uh this is a sole source vendor. We have double checked as Miss Whipple has double checked that and so this will be a soul source vendor. So I ask that you approve this soul source vendor. Okay. Well, I hope they do well at this. >> I move to approve the soul source vendor as presented. I'll >> second. >> Motion a second to approve the soul source vendor as presented. All in favor? >> I. >> Carries. Thank you very much. Let's go to 610. Uh, Mrs. Davis. >> So, um, anytime we have a procurement that's over $100,000, again, that has to come to the board for approval.
