We now open the floor for public comments on agenda items. Do we have any public comments this evening? Okay, there being no public comments, we will move on to our business agenda. We have two items up for action on the business agenda and one item up for review. The first item up for
002action is the omnivous vote agenda. Items under the omnivous vote agenda are considered routine and or non-controversial and will be approved by one motion. If anyone board member, staff, administrator, or citizen wishes to have a separate vote on any item or items, that item or items will be pulled from the omnivous vote agenda and voted on separately. Be it resolved that the Diamond Lake 76 Board of Education accepts and approves the omnivous vote agenda items A through C as listed. May I have a motion to approve, please? Second, >> Miss Rey, Miss H. >> Yes, >> Miss Bis. Mr. Becker, Miss Crutchfield, Miss Holland, Miss >> That motion is approved. The next item up for action on the business agenda is the personnel item. Um, be it resolved. The Diamond Lake 76 Board of Education
003accepts and approves the personnel items as depicted on the agenda. We have two new hires. May I have a motion to approve, please? >> Yes. Mr. Becker, yes. Miss Crutchfield, yes. Miss Pale, >> yes. >> Miss Holland, Miss Reyes, Miss Salt, >> yes. >> That motion is also approved. The next item on the business agenda is an item for for review, and that is reviewing substitute teacher compensation for 2025 2026. Mr. Rogers, it's your time to shine. >> It has been like a month since we've got to talk, so I'm gonna I'm still going to keep this short, but it it's makes my skin crawl to not uh talk for longer. But uh so we review our substitute compensation uh annually. There hasn't really been much uh subsidive changes over the last couple years, but
004I'm I'm recommending a $500 increase based on area school districts. The biggest change is recommending increasing the pay for retired subs from the district who would like to come back and sub. So that's really been our largest sub pool over the last couple years. And in corresponding with some of the teachers, you could see that they've not taken jobs in the district and and worked outside. And so in talking with them, they said that they these districts would uh pay retired teachers more just based on their experience. So this uh compensation is in line with uh what Kilder's paying and I believe what Hawthorne's paying the retired subs. But um it just makes it more competitive and they'd like to stay with our district. We used to do this in the past. We haven't done
005it for probably six or seven years though since we went to more of a uniform structure. >> Okay. then we will vote on that at our next board meeting. Um, that concludes the business agenda for the evening. Moving on to board discussion. Do we have any items for board discussion this evening? Do not. Okay. Moving on to freedom of information requests. We had three. I think they were all fulfilled. Moving on to notices of communications. We have a number of them from seedall. We haven't had any Have we had any meetings since we last met? No. Okay. So then the next meeting is in October. In August. Okay. Okay. Um Okay. Then uh we will move on to public comments and petitions on non-aggenda items. Do we have any public comments or petitions on non-aggenda
006items? There being no public comments, we will move on to others. Um, I just had a reminder that if you are interested in attending triple I and you haven't let Hyram know, please let him know.
