All those in favor of approving the agenda as presented, please say I. >> I. I. Any opposed? Okay. First up, we
003have our school presentations starting with our student leaders update. Well, we have uh we have our student leaders. They might have to give me access to a video, but we'll see. >> Oh, okay. >> Might have to reboot it. You want to I just requested access. >> I think I accepted it. >> Okay, we should be good to go now. >> All right. Well, hello guys. I'm Betty Willard. I'm senior high school. >> I'm also senior at High School. >> Um we are both student section leaders. Um we have a short presentation for you guys. Um so the first slide is obviously the seam session um at Selene. Uh this is kind of you know one of the big things we promote uh with our students just getting everyone together having a great time. You
004can kind of see everyone just throwing the red towels around everyone laughing having a great time. Um and this is just one of these small things that we do to kind of promote uh the outside of school activity. Uh if you go to the next slide here. Yep. I just found a great picture of uh some of our student section leaders having a great time at games. >> Same same with this one. >> You look like you're having >> Yeah, >> I think we just scored touchdowns. And then final one is >> ready. >> Yeah. Short video. >> Yes. I was an officer on the the baby powder for tradition um during the Chelsea game. So some of the things we like to emphasize is obviously that um we've been trying to do a lot
005more activities for all grades this year. Um one of the things we did this year was the senior sunrise. So the morning before the first day of school, we all got together turfs the help of snow atmospher and all them. Um and we had this kind of just awesome moment together as our last kind of year together as seniors. Um, we watched Sunrise, which was amazing. I love that. I think we had a pretty good showing for sure. Um, I'd say more than half the seniors were there for that one. >> Um, and then we also did senior parking spots this year. So, we thank her event, she drew a proposal. Um, and if you wanted to, you had the opportunity to pay to get a permanent spot for the year, which was also just
006an amazing opportunity to kind of be creative. Um, and I'm not sure if you've had a chance to drive around the parking lot, but some of them are really, really good. We have some really talented people in our school. Um, so that was really amazing. Um, and then in terms of the student section, we love cheering. Um, and we love promoting all sports because we know football is out something that gets a lot of attention. Um, but we do love to promote field games with the volleyball games and basketball games. um and get as many people there as possible because when you're all there, you're having a great time, it's a great night, especially if it's not just Friday night. Um so those are kind of the things we we love to do, the extra
007curricular area. Um that's about it for us. So you can pack basketball games this year. We going to pack basketball game. >> Do it. Great. And we're gonna have a ESPN table uh commentating on the games. >> Really? >> Yeah. >> Who's doing that? >> DVD. We'll see. Um but no, it should be really fun. We're going to try to get some cool activities going, especially with uh some of the assemblies we're doing in school, so we got pretty good one. So, any questions? >> No, you guys always seem like you're having fun. >> Yeah, that's great. Yep. That's great. Thanks for coming to share your update with us. >> Absolutely. Hey guys, >> I would like to thank the student section leaders this year. The senior class has exhibited an immense amount of leadership.
008All of the activities that they've done this year have been led by them. We are just supporters. We just kind of on the outside making sure that they have the funds or the um facilities whatever they need. But this senior class has been incredible of organizing everything, taking the charge for their leadership. And most everything I would say is really managed by the seniors. we have to do very little with this senior class with all of the different things because if we see something say and and we've had these talks before administration really doesn't want to get involved especially in Friday nights or on Wednesday nights because then that kind of like damps the mood like you guys take care of it great and then you everyone has better time so I cannot thank the
009senior class and the leaders enough um for this year um they're doing a fantastic job. >> Thank you. That's great. And thank you for teaching the freshman how to do this so that we have four good years in a row. >> Yep. Best one yet. >> Thank you guys. >> All right. Um, next up is our CTE millillage video. >> Absentee ballots have gone out. A quick video on the CTE millillage. name is Grace. My hope for a patron is better access to construction trades programs for high school students. I found my passion and a great platform for becoming a construction manager through my construction program. Our program, the second day of school, the excavator shows up, then the real world takes over. >> I believe that every student deserves to have an opportunity like
010that. My hope for a future CT breaking in that failure. It's how we understand. Every piece you take apart teaches you how it fits, how it works, and how to make it better. When you can see the bigger picture, nothing is too big to solve. >> On the final day of school, they walk away with a completed house for sale sign from them. My name is Coach B. My hope for the future is CT. The future moves with us. >> It's a nice little video like programming impact on kids. Speaking of students, I >> was going to say, is that being shared? >> We'll share it. >> Okay. >> Get it out on social media. Share it out. >> Okay. Perfect. Because then we can start sharing it soon. >> Yeah. >> All right. That's
011great. Um, next up we have a water fountain impact survey. Paul Sapola is here. >> Oh, you did >> just now. >> Oh, yeah. All righty. Just point when you want me to slides. >> Good evening, Board of Education. My name is Paul High School senior. Thank you for allowing me to speak with you tonight. I ever needed water. wanted to put out order for unsanitary. In the last year, several of my friends and I encountered this disappointing experience. This led me to go on to wonder how many of my other classmates experienced the same issue. So tonight I'll present the results of a survey I designed and implemented throughout the high school uh throughout the high school on student health kingdom water access and condition high school. Why this survey matters? Access to clean,
012functional and conveniently located water is essential to students health and hydration. This survey was conducted to gather students to feedback about current conditions and guide future improvements. We'll begin by asking how often do students use the water fountains? A majority reported using them sometimes or rarely indicating indicating potential dissatisfaction or inconvenience with the current options. Chief back only around 30% stated they use the drink balance. The next few questions I asked were, are there enough balance and are they conveniently located? Well, most students say the balance are conveniently located, some still feel like there simply aren't enough. This gap suggests that even with good even good placement can make up for the lack of quantity, especially in busy hallways and near the gym. Next, I identified the cleaniness that cleanliness was a major concern. The
013majority of students rated the balance as a two out of five or lower, indicating a need for improved maintenance. Then I touched on functionality. Overwhelmingly, students reported encountering broken or malfunctioning balance. This issue was widespread across grade levels. Even more concerningly, most students felt like these broken bounds were not repaired in a timely manner, impacting students trust in school decisions. Well, when I asked students if they prefer water bottle refill stations, an over an overwhelmingly majority said yes, showing a clear student demand for more modern solutions. Finally, I wanted to see if students had any ideas or for suggestions or improvements. Students who left responses emphasized one, the need for cleaner valleys. Two, more frequent maintenance. Three, the installation of bio region stations. Finally, a few specifically mentioned the desire for full build. Looking ahead,
014I was excited to learn that the district received a grant to replace all water fountains with the work completed over this past summer. They look great so far. This fall, I plan to conduct a follow-up survey after students have experienced the new water balance for some time. This will help track students satisfaction and ensure that the upgrade met their needs. I'd be happy to report back to the board of education next semester. Thank you for your time. >> Thank you. They're reporting Jew. [Music] [Laughter] >> He's like, "Wait a minute. I >> you guys just uh actually reach out to me and you guys." >> Well, thank you. No, and we were glad to get the grant. So, appreciate you obviously knowing there was a need and we knew it too and we got the
015grant for it. So, it'll be nice to see that this is actually money good at work. >> Yeah, we'll see the impact of the grant money on. Yeah, >> I'd like to see the followup. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Thank you for taking the time to share your results. >> Thank you. >> Thanks. >> Thank you. >> Okay. Um, it is now time for our first public participation. Is there anyone who would likely address the board? >> Hi, Paul. >> Right. Seeing no one, we'll move on to administrative and board updates, starting with the superintendent. >> Real quick, Lloyd, if you don't mind, can you push the but the red buttons? >> Um, yeah, hit all 300. >> All right, real quick. Um, this month is uh principal recognition month, so we'll have a recognition at
016the next board meeting, just to give you a heads up. Um, we've had two varsity home football games with the new scoreboard. um been working through how to use it. We're putting guides together for other teams so that they don't use the whole thing, they use just the bottom or etc. Some of the sound we're having some adjustments to the sound because the sound actually works consistently >> where before we would get we would get sound was echoey and we'd get different teams to come turn it up and down. this one we're able to manage it better but trying to figure out so we had the first home football game with a big crowd the sound wasn't actually high enough because the bodies were absorbing it but without the crowd size it needs to be
017lower so we have it down at like one or two every team gets told what the amount is or what the sound should be set at etc um it is working consistently but it's pointed in another ction. So, there's some adjustment there, but it's working like it's supposed to. Um, and uh we have a we're growing through it. We're developing like for every team that varsity team that has a big game on there, they're little hype videos, etc. And then for the other teams, one of the challenges we have is every weekend we get a youth team, they like, we want to do this. Uh, no. So, then they get mad that we're telling film. Um, but it's still it's a management challenge. The way it's set up, we're still working through it. Works off
018of iPads and a laptop and we can't just leave iPads and a laptop sitting up there. So, we're working through the personnel components on how we get it delivered, how we get people trained. We have a guides being put together so everybody knows how to use it and responsibly. We have to take the old one out. We still left the old sound system hooked up so that we had a backup and we didn't want to tear it out just in case something would arrive. But we've I think we got it figured out now. We even figured out with the uh referee when they turn the mic on if they turn on at halftime you could you had that issue what they're saying in there. >> Yeah. Yeah. That was pretty funny. >> Um we have
019the uh CM previews set for October 14th at 6 o'clock, October 22nd at 9. We've sent out information in my last letter to the community. It was like a week ago and when those are heard from a couple families, but overall that's they just asked questions. Um, so we'll see how that goes and know what our next steps are. State budget. So they passed the budget. I have to say the last two years have been the worst example of how our government works that I've seen in my entire career. um we have two parties that do what their party says instead of like if we taught government and civics that instead of a representative democracy that it would be you vote for a majority party and then you vote for another party and they go
020into a room and they decide what's happens and they're told just follow our kids they' fail a test but that's what we're witnessing so what happened in this budget they created a crisis that didn't exist there was plenty of money they then the Republican leadership, the Democratic leadership, and the governor created a created a deal. None of the people that had to vote on it knew what the deal was. Nobody saw what it was until they had to vote. And then they passed a garbage budget in the middle of the night and act like they're giving us money. They're giving us money to give staff raises, right? They're doing things like in uh section 31A which they they'll parade around that they gave us more money for at risk students 25% more. So Dexter will
021get about $125,000. Districts in the same county that have the same number of students that we have will get $5 million. >> Yeah. This is what happens when the doors are closed and they're making these decisions. And it's it's really disheartening to watch, but it's a bunch of people that don't care about kids. They care about getting reelected. And this budget I was involved in the last two years as deep as I ever have in my career. And it's been frustrating. Like the Republicans that were in office didn't know what the Dems were. They didn't even know what their own party. I was kind of in the middle. Like people were asking me, "What are you doing? It is this is no way to function." And there are there are poisoned pills in this budget.
022There's components that in order to take some of the funding, we're going to have to sign off that would agree to all these other things that may or may never have hopefully never happen in the future. There's a bunch of uh things they did with retirement like they're acting like they're giving us money, but they took it away from somewhere else. It's we'll be fine financially, but this is no way to to function. And I really would put put it on everyone here that as elected officials to put pressure on our state reps that they need to refuse to vote on things that they haven't read. >> Yeah. >> And they can't read all I mean, they have there's so many errors in this thing. >> They're going to have to pass a supplemental just
023to fix it. this is no way to function. And there was plenty of money. Like when I started my career as a superintendent, it was during the recession. There wasn't any. There was reasons they were going up to the wire. They couldn't decide what to cut. >> This one they took about So everybody talks about lottery money all the time for schools. That's their ad. What they should say is the funds higher ed. So, the amount they take out of the school aid fund actually is about the money they make on the lot and it goes to University of Michigan. Who doesn't need them? It goes to Sorry about the level grants. Um, it goes to all the state schools, goes to the community colleges, and uh that's how much they take out of the
024K12 budget. So, that's the budget. It's garbage, but it's what we got. At least we have one. That's your update. >> That's my update. And everything in the schools is great because we ignored all the silliness for the adults that don't care about kids. And if they say they care about kids, they're lying. They don't care. They care about getting real. And that's sad. Uplifting wise, school's awesome. Kids are engaged. Homecoming week got parade Friday. Life is good. >> Good. Perfect. Um, board president update, I just want to draw your attention to one of the information items that is the um, delegate assembly handbook. This is uh, this lays out all of the uh, resolutions and amendments that we'll be going through um, at the MASB leadership conference in October. Daniel is representing us. If
025you guys want to take any time to read through it. If you have concerns about any of the amendments, I'm going to ask you to email me in advance so that at the next board meeting, that will be our time to provide feedback to Dan. So, I just want to um collect stuff so that we can do it in an organized fashion if people have comments. And I will move on to our student representatives. Um, we have like it was mentioned earlier, this is Coco week, so obviously there's a football game, there's everything else going on, but it's honestly a very big week for all the sports. Um, women's golf won their regionals. I mean, as always, they've been doing very, very well. The group of seniors, and I know there's at least one junior
026that went to regionals. They're very, very good golfers. I mean, I'm pretty sure Avery Manning got first again. Um, so it's nice to see our sports doing very well across the state. um tennis. It was senior night tonight and on Thursday it's regionals. It's hosted at Dexter, but unfortunately the middle school courts have a lot of cracks in them and are too dirty, so they're no longer regulation. So um the double splits, they they're not allowed for some reason. They forced us to put some of the sites at um Beach Middle School in Chelsea. So now um four through two doubles have to go there for the first two rounds and then all the finals of course will be back at the high school. Um but hopefully the problems with the middle school boards is
027fixable by girls season. I don't know if it's six packs or if it's the dirt but hopefully that can be fixed. Um volleyball senior night is the nights so also this week. So, I mean, if you can come to regionals, come to senior nights. It's nice to see all the sports doing well. And again, with the student section, everyone has so much team spirit, especially with homecoming coming around. Um, also with homecoming, there's a lot of changes to the dance this year. I mentioned some last meeting, but it's the gym officially. So, that's going to be great because we can finally turn the lights off. Um, as well, we're actually going to decorate more. We got some lights from Amazon and we're going to use the float decorations actually. So instead of just throwing them
028out, we can like have all the students see them so that their hard work is actually kind of displayed for a little longer than just a parade. Um, and then there's a new entrance and of course the silent disco is still happening. We're able to keep all the different components with hopefully making it funner for students. >> That's great. >> Yeah. Poco week. We have Skyline on Friday. That'll be a very fun game. We had Bedford last week in 3814, something like that. Good win. Um, we have our Hoko spirit week. I think it's the same across the district, but at the high school today was pajama day. I think we have minion day tomorrow and >> red, white, and blue >> or Wednesday doing something different. >> I think country country club on Wednesday,
029which I don't know is fine. >> Sure. >> About that later. Thursday. >> Maybe that's where I went Thursday. There's city colors color the colors red >> I think I'm red and then Dexter spirit on Friday that will be a lot of fun also on Friday we have our pep rally at the high school which I'm sure Denny will be racing the band will be playing at that'll be a lot of competitions the drum line might make performance the dance team probably make performance um parade as well band will be winging that and our flow building is during the week kind of going off Poco NHS is kind of going through a revamp or at least building towards one with the new advisor, Mrs. Lumpy's. The NHS officers have a big meeting with church tomorrow
030morning. For cross country, they had a very very big meet at Portage, I believe, this past weekend, which speaking some kids in cross country. It is like kind of like a pre-regionals just because of how many people are there. They have big weeks coming up as well. Outerpuff is in full swing. Um they have been practicing on the twin tur I don't know how many times but I know they have been so that will be very fun to see and yeah free school lunches are in the bag which is great sliders today so I mean a lot of kids are having that's all >> great sign people >> did you miss lunch for any period of Okay. Which capital? >> Yeah. We got scolded by the uh governor and the state superintendent that we needed
031to provide lunch, but we weren't allowed to use our funds to pay for it. >> Yeah. So, how does that work? >> Yeah. There. >> Thank >> for the crisis they created. >> All right. We do not have any consent items. So we will move on to action items. The first is the dissolution of the condo association. Our packet included two legal documents. One will provide the legal deed dissolution of the Dexter Town Center condominium condominium association after the fourth amendment to the association is reported. Um it also includes a resolution that will close down the business entity of the association and its financials. Can I get a motion? Move that the board of education authorize the superintendent to sign the attached termination of master deed and condominium project on behalf of the district. >>
032A second the motion. >> We have a motion and a second. Um Chris, do you want to just give a little synopsis? >> Okay. This has been Sharon's >> or never ending project like to give a little synopsis. >> Would you like me to? >> Yes. >> Um okay. So part of the project was to after we acquired the wellness center and the senior center, that's two of the three units in the Dexter Town Center condominium. The next step after we acquired two was to dissolve the association. There's no need for us to have an association. It just becomes one six and a half acre parcel with two buildings on it. No different than all the rest of our school buildings. So this is the phase of um dissolving the association. So we if you
033recall we we went to the city with three amendments to the association. Um there was a a third amendment which basically reorganized the size of the different units so that we could preserve the tax status or the pharmacy. So, we did that and then the fourth amendment kicks out the pharmacy building and leaves just the the wellness center and the senior center. And then there was an amendment to the pharmacy buildings subc condo that makes it its own condo and it's a standalone association, not underneath the Dexter Town Center. So once all three of those are recorded, should have been recorded are reported any minute now. Once those are recorded, now we are the sole owners of unit one and two. And then it's just a matter of filing a deed dissolution of that Dexter
034Town Center official deed entity to basically now we just have two buildings on a partial land. So that's what this part is. Then the next step in that is to close down the business entity which has been a little bit of a struggle and is not very far yet. But there's a legal entity called Dexter Town Center Association. Not just the deed that's at the county, but a legal entity through the state that was set up as a nonprofit or, you know, it's not it's a for-profit entity that files tax returns and and has to do all their forms and all of that. That legal entity currently has money from all the dues that we've been paying. Um, it's owned by Steve Brower. He's the principal on that. So that's the next step is to
035get all of those financials so that we can tile that out, tile the final balances that that exist within that association and then go to the state and dissolve that entity. And it's our attorney's recommendation that well at at Steve Brower's requirement that oh you guys own it now you guys do all that close out. So, we're going to need to do all of that close out of the association. There should be um some residual money left in that association that after it gets split, we'll be able to use that to pay legal bills. And if there's anything that's excess, we still do have grant money that can be used to get all of that tightened up. So, the last phase of this is actually shutting down that business entity, doing the 2025 tax returns
036and any of the final um paperwork that has to happen with the state. That's the next step. So, your resolutions allowing Chris to sign that um and that will then conclude the project. Okay. >> And will that happen in 2025? So it'll be completely do we expect it to be completely done by the end of this calendar year? >> I don't know. I expected it was going to be done back in January or February and it has been a very difficult process to get the other side to cooperate. Um but so we the attorney knows what we need to do um and may not happen in 2025 but I do expect it'll be done prior to the end of this fiscal year. Okay, that helps. But there's a lot I mean with the the all
037of the all of the audits that they have done, the tax returns they had done, all of their financials which they have not turned over to us. Um those all need to be looked through to validate the fund balance um that exists in that entity. >> Okay. When you say they who are you referring to? Um so Steve Brower all his conglomerative companies so Arrow construction the entity investments there's a bunch of different um entity that entities that Steve Brower has for different purposes a construction company an investment company that's a developer and so not exactly sure which of all of his companies are the the official owners of the of the association. Um but he is he is signed on at the state as being the official representative. So they he is the one
038who needs to sign off that we can close this down or turn it over to make us the official owner so that then we can file paperwork with our signatures to close it down. So it's kind of like figuring it out the plate as we're going. And I want to thank Sharon for dedicating the last two years to have $10 million of money that wasn't even ours. Buy a fitness center to keep it in the community for the community center. Keep uh build the 9,000 square foot senior center and purchase 7 and a half acres of land which we will now soon be the sole owners of. >> Yeah. >> Which is great. >> Thank you. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> It's been a unbelievable process. Other questions? >> You're we're looking at two
039motions. So, right now, this is just the first one and then we have a secondary one, right? >> Um Yes. To to adopt the resolution as the second. >> Yes. >> Okay. All right. Uh let's do a roll call vote. Fouse. >> Miy. >> Mr. Sulla. >> Hi, >> Miss Kangas. >> I riser. >> I Okay. And we have a second motion. Yeah. I'll move that the board of education adopt the attached resolution approving the termination of the Dexter Town Center Condominium Association. >> Second. >> Go ahead. >> All second. >> We have a motion and a second. Any discussion? Okay, let's do a roll call vote. >> Mr. Supola. >> Hi. >> Mangus. >> I. >> Mrs. Fiser. >> I. >> Thank you very much. Thanks. >> Thank you. Um, next up is the
040Al Ritz forboard overage. Our packet included a memo regarding additional funds that were required to complete the Alitz forboard project. Can I get a motion? I'll move that the board of education approved $9,358 in additional funding from the 2017 bond proceeds to close out the Alrit scoreboard project. And I'll second that motion. Okay, we have a motion and a second. Any discussion? Yeah, originally when we brought the proposal, it included a contingency and we said we would come back with the electrical bid separate for additional funds. The electrical bids came back within the almost within the amount and then we came to the board and asked for an extra thousand to work with, but we had soil conditions because it was full of water where the post had to go, which caused us to we
041have a bill left. Okay. >> So, our $61,000 contingency was not big enough. Well, we were originally going to it would have been if we wouldn't have paid for the electrical within that if we would have done the electrical separate like we planned. So, it was still we would have had 50 grand left for that contingency because the electrical would have done been or approved separately. So, we needed an extra $9,358 to pay for building those uh cement piles the ground to hold it up. Okay. >> Any other questions? All right, list roll call vote. >> Miss Kangas, >> hi. >> Mrs. Riser, >> I sa >> hi >> murder. >> Hi, >> Mr. Sakola. >> Hi. >> Okay, next up we have a couple policy um steps here. The first one is the Niola
042policy recisions. Our packet includes a list of NEOA policies to be rescended as part of the conclusion to the Truman policy implementation. These have been reviewed at length by the policy committee and were previously shared with the board at the September 15th meeting. I'll move that the board of education approve the recision of all policies listed in the attached document entitled complete mola policy recision list. >> I'll second that motion. We have a motion and a second. Any discussion? So it looks like a lot, but that's because Niola has a lot of duplicative policies and things of that nature. So we went through this with a fine tooth comb over several hours as a policy committee. And um if you see that where we're sitting, it's because we've already adopted a true policy that duplicates
043it andor it was no longer necessary. For instance, there was a policy um I'll point to it was like the Fair Labor Standards Act that doesn't exist anymore. So, we're just leaving everything up. Any questions? Okay, let's do a roll call vote. >> Mer, >> I bley. >> Hi, >> Mr. Sakola. >> Hi, >> Miss Kas. >> Hi. >> All right. Um, policies. First reading. Our packet includes draft policies 3311, naming school buildings, portions of buildings, structures, or facilities. 5418 grading. 5424 educational options and 5501 student fundraising. These policies are being brought forward from uh DCS's old policies and updated and/or combined with Boom policy language. We'll move that the board of education approve policies 3311, 5418, 5424, and 51 for first reading. >> I'll second that motion. >> We have a motion, a second.
044Any discussion? So what we did is um we took some of the policies that we had kind of tabled from the mola and like one of the educational options policy actually took like three different mul policies. We melded them, cleaned up the language and made them open sight. So the whole point of these policies are is to make it so that we don't have eight different policies that say the same thing which will probably inadvertently contradict one another. So, um, and the naming of the buildings, we actually added the structures in there because we think that's an important piece to also have in there. And if anybody has any questions, the policy committee is here. >> All right. Um, have a question on the on the student fundraising policy. Um does this where what what
045policies covers uh the other the you know the booster club and just the different >> that's an advertising. So we actually tabled that we're going to be coming back to it. >> Okay. So this is just students specifically nothing about parents, adults, etc. >> Right. and we are going to be looking at it's we have a couple of policies that were a little archaic and so we're going to try to make that into one that makes a lot more sense for everyone. So this is just students >> and is this a new policy or how does this compare to our existing >> it actually is a we took we carried over certain language from um we adopted it. Let's see what we do. We we carried it over. >> Trun's policy is that single black
046oneliner at the top and then the guidelines we carried from our current policy. Um substantively our the policy that we are getting rid of didn't say anything specific. So we felt like the oneliner did encapsulate just the that there is an opportunity essentially for fundraising. So that's all that TR said, the first sentence and then the other one is where we add on the books and we're just melding them together. The challenge with all of these policies is to have them broad enough to allow for the different needs of the district, especially with different aids um sort of falling under them, but also you know having guide rails and and options. So, we thought that the administrative guidelines allowed the administrators to have some be thoughtful about whatever the fundraising activities were that were being
047proposed. >> The only thing I'm just wondering about is is D, which is that the board approved the distribution liquidation of monies. I mean, are we talking $500 here? I just wonder if we need the board to do that. That's that's my only thought. yourself to pick up. >> Sure. >> It's D under 501. Yeah. >> Yeah. 5501s. >> I think you have a page number >> 34 34 >> and it just it just says when the organization is defunct or disadvantaged. I mean, yeah, you're right. I mean, that is definitely something it it's what we have currently on the books. We just carried over now, but we absolutely need to look at that. >> I mean, I can see if it's $50,000, but if it's, you know, I I don't know what the maximum
048is. $15 in these accounts, but I wouldn't expect that they do that much, but maybe I'm wrong. >> I don't know. >> We can we can take a look at that before the next meeting. >> Yep. >> Thank you. Sure. >> Okay. Um they will come back for second reading. So, let's vote on the first reading here. Mera, I >> Mrs. Berley. I Mrs. Riser. Hi, Okay. Um and then next up is our second reading. Um our packet includes 256 organizational meetings which was approved for first reading on September 15th. It's being presented for second reading and final approval this evening. I'll move that the board of education approves policy 25506 for second reading and final approval. >> I would second that motion. We have a motion and a second. Any discussion? I'll just note
049that we brought some language from other NEO policy use and included it because it's um they are points that we annually do during our organizational meetings. So we just included that language. >> Any other questions? Okay, let's vote. >> Mrs. Brutderly. >> Hi. >> Mr. Sapola. >> Hi. >> Miss Kangas. Hi. >> Mrs. Ryman. >> Hi. >> Mrs. Zera. I >> All right.
