001Please >> here. Jeremy here. >> Alicia here. Kelly >> here. David >> here. >> Carrie >> here. Lisa here. And Nadia is absent. >> And rise and face the flag, please for the pledge of allegiance. 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. >> All right. Vision Byron Public Schools, a community of learners committed to making the world a better place. Mission: learn, share, innovate, inspire. And our priorities, personalize learning in the pursuit of academic excellence, inspire students and staff to develop their character, share their talents, and apply their learning, and maintain excellence in resource management. As we don't have visitors, I'm guessing they sign up to speak during this portion of
002the meeting. Are there any questions or discussion on the agenda as presented? Okay. Would entertain a motion to approve the agenda as presented. >> So moved. >> Second. >> Motion and a second. All in favor say I. >> I. >> All opposed. Agenda is approved. We'll move on to the superintendent report. >> Okay. Thank you. Um I um we can obviously read, but I will just highlight a couple of things off of the report. Um the first one was in uh continuing work to try and understand the processes of the district. Um this is a a key component of my entry plan. Um I have been working with leadership to try and reallocate duties and assignments from the administrative side um that over the past couple years um with some of the budget uh reductions,
003some of those administrative positions um were seriously imbalanced in terms of the uh uh job responsibilities. some people were assigned duties that just didn't make any sort of sense. So, we're continue to try and wait through that and then create a plan so that we can stay up um up to date on the reporting and um and narratives that we need to report to MD on. Um I've been grateful for the leadership and their willingness to think about things in new ways. Um there's still some more work to do. Uh and those things just will will be ongoing here for the next couple of months. Um the other thing I um sorry I got too many computers happening here. All I need to be on this computer. Um I also wanted to highlight the time
004that you all spent um that we spent together on the schoolboard retreat. I recognize again that it's a it's a sacrifice for you all to walk away from your jobs and um and your other duties throughout the day to spend time um during the day. Um, from my side, I thought um the time was well spent. I appreciated the the honesty and the working through some hypotheticals together and um I feel especially as I've talked to a couple of you on the side um that you you found it fruitful. Um my hope is that we can um at least on the yearly make that kind of a part of of what we do. Um just so that we can continue to to team build and and walk through what uh what you would do in
005various situations. but then also also get some training on on how to best lead the school district. Um, beyond that, I think the only other real thing I would want to highlight is just uh the continuing work on the referendum. It takes a lot of a lot of folks. Um, and as I was mentioning in the budget committee meeting before this, um, we're now nearing the time where we where we don't really make any more decisions as it relates to the referendum. And now it's just time to start talking about it and sharing sharing what we know. Um, answering people's questions, uh, you know, and sometimes they'll come up with some weird questions. So, we'll have to make a decision about how we answer those. But um but I I feel like we're very near
006the time where um now it's time to start start talking about it. So though that's uh just the highlights of my update and I'm I'm happy to stand for any questions that you might have at all >> questions discussion. >> I'm just going along the lines of the referendum. Are we going to say who's going to be at what location when? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Part of the meeting or no? >> Yes. That's part of that'll be the first thing that we do here uh once we start talking and working through things. Okay. >> Yep. >> Thanks, Lisa. >> Awesome. All right, we'll move into our finance report. >> So, finance in July is pretty boring because there's not a whole lot going on there, right? Um not a lot to report from one year
007or from uh one month, but uh you see um Alicia did ask one question about why the year-to- date miscellaneous local revenues were so low, and the answer to that was because of uh fundraising dollars weren't coming in, which is fine. That's so however they want to do it kind of thing. So that's why that was the difference. Uh during the budget committee meeting um Rich asked a question about why supplies were higher uh this this year than previous years and a lot of that was just timing of one time things. So like maybe I will be more than happy to take any other questions on the uh finance reports or the the graphs. Okay. >> Any questions discussion? Thanks for adding the percentages. Makes it easier for me to digest. >> All right, we
008will move uh on to old or unfinished business. I don't have anything. Did you anything? All right, new business, referendum, presentation, coordination. Um there's a lot of shuns there. I like it when words rhyme oriteration. So, um I just wanted to run through a couple of presentations that I do have dates and times and places confirmed where um where we're at on those. So, first off, we have um the high school welcome back night which is tomorrow and Lisa said that she was available to help with that. That is from 3 to 6 tomorrow night at the high school. Um I would need somebody to help at the uh middle school. the walk the halls is what they call it at the middle school. That's also from 3:00 to 6:00 tomorrow afternoon. Um our next
009event is then on Thursday evening from 5:30 to 7:30 and that's at the elementary schools and that's called the party on the playground. Anyway, I do have a couple others, but maybe if we could talk and see if anybody by chance was available. The the part I'm most worried about is tomorrow night. If there's not anybody that could come on Thursday, that's less critical. But, um, it's just difficult for me to navigate both those places at once. I can be at one place at one time. I just can't be at two places at one time. >> Yeah. Can Can a second person come to the high school at all? Is anyone available? Because >> I say I think four of us are students in both of those. So, >> in both of them. Okay. cuz
010I've got to be with somebody at the parent meeting at 4:15, but only for a few minutes until her mom can come. So, I'll be out for just a short time. >> Okay. I have a commitment at about 4:30 tomorrow. So, I I'll be filling until then, I think. Shoot. >> It's not the end of the world. The referendum doesn't crash and burn if this doesn't work out. Um I I have a or we have a foam foam presentation board that that'll have a chart on it and then there will be some literature just those h some half sheet information about the the referendum and so if nobody's there we can still just lay it out and and life goes on but um it's it is nice to have somebody there to talk if at
011all possible. So maybe it seems like tomorrow is just going to be rough. I >> think it is. >> Is that okay? >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, um, maybe Lisa, you and I can kind of coordinate on the timing. Um, and I'll I'll either I'll probably send you an email or or a text tomorrow morning. Okay. >> We can square that away. >> Okay. How about um Thursday? Thursday evening again, 5:30 to 7:30. I don't exactly know what this is like. You all probably do more than I do. It sounds like it's something in between the two schools is what I guess. Yeah, there's um well, most of it's at the intermediate, isn't it? At the playground there, there's booths that are set up kind of they had it indoors and they had it outdoors.
012>> We were outside of the >> rain cafeteria. >> Um >> yeah, it's kind of like a little um tables and like show and tell or ask >> almost like a vendor fair. >> Yeah, kind of like that. >> Okay. And it's it's you know, hey, have you heard about the spirit squad? If not, we can give you information on how to become a part of that. And the sports are all there with their tables. Um, I'll be there as a parent, but I can certainly swing by and do some handshake in them. >> Okay. Anyone else? >> And typically compadres is there with massive massive burritos. >> Great. >> Was that the burritos that we those were good by the way? Yeah, >> good to know. >> We were there a couple years ago.
013>> Okay, >> I can I'll tomorrow at the middle school I will stop by the and see it. It really depends for us on how picture day goes and if we're like if I'm chasing out the door after a student or if we're chill. So I I I'd love to commit but I'm solo tomorrow. So it really it's >> I get it. >> Yeah. >> 5050. Yeah. >> It's these are the weirdest nights. I totally Yeah. Okay. >> So then if we um start looking into September um David is going to come with me to the Byron Youth Football Association meeting on September 3rd at 6:30. We'll be at the Legion. Um, and then I have a meeting the week after that with the Byron Basketball Association, and that's at the middle school of Mr.
014Leux's classroom. It's at 6:30 and I could use some use a wingman. You can be >> Is that on the 10th? >> 10th. Yep. I'll be Maverick and you be goose. >> Yeah, I could do that. I can be there if you or someone else wants to, that's fine, too. >> 6. >> Uh, the 10th. Sorry. single day of the week. Wednesday. >> It should be Wednesday. Yeah. Okay. I'll put Alicia on. Thank you, Alicia. >> You're welcome. >> And then on I don't know what day of the week this is, the 17th. >> Wednesday. Thank you. Um I will be at the senior citizens launch at the CEC and that's at 12:30. >> I think I can do that. >> Okay. I should be able to be there as well or in case. >>
015Okay. Thank you. And then looking into October, I'll be at the city council meeting. Um they are on this Tuesday the 14th of October. >> Sorry. I'm sorry. What were you saying? >> What time? >> That'll be at 6 o'clock. Thank you. and I'll be there just because I'm the city council rep. So, >> okay. >> I could be back if something comes up. >> Thank you. >> Y and Lisa. Excellent. >> Okay. >> 17. >> And then um the next meeting is and these are in no uncertain order. I'm so sorry. The Chamber of Commerce is the next week on the 21st and that's also a lunch. I believe it starts at Let me just double check so I don't tell you anything. I believe it starts at noon. >> Barring travel, I can
016be there as well. >> 21st. Yeah, it's at noon. Okay. and that is at city hall at okay and first >> thank you >> I think so >> okay and the last one I have confirmed for tonight is Salem Township and they are the first Wednesday in October that would be 101 at 7 o'clock >> I can do that >> Alicia >> yeah unless someone else wants Paul, I haven't uh I mean I've driven through Salem and Four Corners. There's lots of stories there. >> I was just >> There's lots of stories. >> Is that where the town is that town? All right. At four corners there. >> That's kind of what I thought. Okay. Thank you. TV show and I'll be quiet. Thank you. >> Okay, perfect. >> October 1st at 7 p.m. >>
017Yes, ma'am. Okay. >> Yep. >> Um, so I um the ones that I haven't uh wanted I wanted to ask you about a few of these community ones cuz you all are super connected and you might know who to talk to. Um, the first one is the Lions Club of Byron. Does anybody know somebody on that? >> Okay. Who Who's the person to call Lisa? >> That would be Don Houston >> by chance. Would you have a phone number or something for him? >> I think I do actually. He emailed me long ago. >> I'll I'll send it to you. >> I don't want to say it out loud. >> Okay. Oh, that's a good point. >> Okay. Um, would somebody have a contact for the Byron Farmers Market that meets on Saturdays? >> Oh,
018Ashley Sandlin. >> Do you have a contact for her by >> I don't, but I can get it. >> Thank you. >> You bet. >> Um, and then I have a set of churches. Um, first one would be Christ the King. Do you do we know you know who is a contact there or if they have like a because most churches have like a leadership council or a fellowship council or something like that. Um >> I can know Christ Lutheran. Yeah. >> Christ the King Catholic. >> Oh yeah. I'm sorry. >> Yeah. I'll get to Christ Lutheran too. But does anybody know somebody? >> Yeah. Uh Sarah Kunico or Kathy Leeurn. >> Kunico and Kathy Leurn. >> Mhm. >> With an N or just Liber >> N. >> Okay. I'm just going to guess on
019that last name. Thank you. >> Okay. >> Um Christ Lutheran. >> Yeah, I can I don't know the name, but I will get it. All right. Mount Mariah. Nobody. Okay. I can just cold call. That's okay. Community celebration church. >> Yeah. Let's see. We contact over there. >> I think her name is Rachel. I might have her number. >> She's the Okay. So Steve's the head pastor, but Tammy might be they have an office. I can call her. >> Okay. >> Thank you. Um and the Methodist church. Anybody have a contact there? >> Okay. I was told um and this is the Salem corner of our university. There's a west and an east St. Olaf Lutheran. >> Does anybody know anything about that at all? Okay. I'll figure that out. How about South Zumbrell Lutheran
020Church? >> That's well the pastors are Kebach and Jeff Bernard. So I can get you their comments. >> Okay. Thank you. All right. And did I send you a note about SummerB like if they had a HOA or something? >> There really isn't one. It's owned by the developer right now. So >> Oh, nice. >> Yeah. Okay. And um let me see. I think I had just two more. >> There is an HOA to be clear, right? Just >> just not just not democratically elected. >> Yes, that's exactly right. Exactly right. >> Yeah, I get it. Um the one rub with Kalmar Township is their meetings are held on the third Monday of each month like ours. So we can go a few different directions with it. Um direction one is we can adjust like
021our October meeting for example um to a time. So there and unfortunately meet at 7 which is smack dab in the middle of what we're doing. >> So we could uh we could look to just our meeting up you know start starting earlier or scoot it back starting later. it kind of turns into a pumpkin at 9:00, I'll warn. Um, but that's fine. Um, the other direction we could head is, um, we could assign one of the schoolboard members to go. Um, I've been told by superintendents that I should not miss a a regular schoolboard meeting or a work session. So, even though I'm happy to go and willing to go, um, it's it's not wise for me to not be here at a schoolboard meeting night. We could completely schedule the schoolboard meeting for
022a different night, of course, if we wanted to. Um, or I could try and uh I could definitely coach up one of the folks on leadership and they could they could go or we could not go at all. >> I think we should go or as you know meet with them some somehow. Yeah. Um, >> the Well, I was going to say I think the easiest, it's not the easiest, but I think maybe the best route would be to ask if somebody from the leadership could go and >> maybe they live in that township as well. Mhm. >> Um, one of I know one of the council members, um, would you want to reach out to him and just ask the township board what they like maybe they another option would maybe be for him
023to come in and meet and then him to present >> and just and you know or or at least have one of them come in and meet with you at a different time. >> Um, just because I don't be able to anticipate questions and concerns. Um, I don't know. Maybe that's too tedious. >> Yeah. Um, okay. Leadership. Any other thoughts or options? >> I I wouldn't mind going alone if we needed to send a board member. >> Okay. or with a leader some of the leadership. >> Yeah, that could be another option too. >> Yeah, >> okay, great. Um, that was super helpful. Okay, I think I am good on that one. All right, we'll move on to lots of action. an action on the PSO contract between Envy Public Schools and RCTC. >> These
024uh these contracts are yearly. Um the the agreement is very similar to any other PSO agreement. um it just commits us to um allowing our students to go and enroll there for a PSO option and it commits RCTC to providing those students with a with a safe and supportive environment. So, um the these things are I hate to say it, they're ridiculously common place. All the all the districts navigate these now. So, >> any questions or discussion on the contract? Look for a motion to move forward on the uh PSO contract. >> I make a motion to go forward with it for approve the contract as written. Second. >> Motion and a second. All in favor say I. >> I. All opposed. Motion carries. That contract is good. We'll move on to taking action on
025the management plan for indoor air quality. >> Um these are very similar where these are required by law. um to evaluate the indoor air quality of our facilities and then to create um solutions if we if we need to create solutions, but then also to have mitigation and emergency plans. Um just kind of laying out the things that we end up doing um throughout the course of the year. Um these are I was going to say these are usually managed by an outside company. I a one of the more Yeah. So, um, this is very common, um, company that takes care of these things for us and and helps make sure we're compliant with the legislation. So, okay. Any discussion on the management plan? >> Do we have a motion to accept the management plan
026as presented? >> A motion to accept the um, indoor air quality management plan as presented. >> Second. >> Motion and a second. All in favor say I. >> I. >> All opposed. Carries. Action on our e-learning plan for 2526. >> Um districts are able to adopt e-learning days as part of their response to inclement weather. Um we'll have inclement weather. I think um I will admit my first year superintendent we had no snow days or late starts and it was lovely >> for you. For me. Yes. I'm sure the kids were all very disappointed. >> Yes. They're really I don't I think it's like it's a just this wonderfully nostalgic feeling like even as an adult when you wake up it's like the schools are closed. It's like well I got to manage these kids
027now today but it's still wonderful when you see it anyway. >> Um so uh the state of Minnesota does allow us to use up to five e-learning days that count as regular instruction days. Um but the caveat is we just need to have a plan that we that you take action on in August. So that is what we're doing right now. Um, we have, uh, four different learning plans that are very similar to each other. There's a plan on here for what the primary school students will be doing, one for the intermediate schools, and then both the middle and the high school do a very similar plan. And these are the expectations of what students will be doing on those days, and then there's expectations for the uh, teachers would be responsible for on those
028days. Um, as it relates to the timing of the e-learning plan, it sounds like the past precedent has been the first day in a quarter of inclement weather is your traditional snow day where, you know, everyone's held harmless for that day, so to speak. Um, and then subsequent days within that quarter are called as e-learning days. So, naturally, as part of our communication strategy for those days, we're very clear about communicating, hey, this is just a snow day. go sledding and drink your hot chocolate and do whatever you got to do. But then on e-learning days, we we obviously communicate that and um and we'll have this plan out there for folks to to uh browse and hold try and hold their kids accountable to on those days. So, >> and this hasn't changed, I
029don't think, for our district for the last several years, has it? And you know, >> the Well, the both schools kind of updated it a little bit this year, tweaked it a bit because the K3 don't have or K2 correct don't have one to one devices so they updated that and then the middle school updated >> theirs and then the high school and the middle the high school did too they're the exact same this year they just slightly >> the the major change of the secondary is they used to have the students checking in at specific times >> but then that ended up proving troublesome for the home because some of those teenagers are expected to look after the younger ones anyway they created some unnecessary tension. This allows a little bit more freedom um
030to be able to complete the work. So, >> okay, great. >> I know bingo cards were one of the things that that they could do. >> Yep. >> Is there any oversight on those? Because, for example, I brought it up last year. We didn't have school because it was too cold outside. Half the bingo card was outside. Mhm. >> Like if we're going to be closed because it's too cold to send kids outside, how can their activities be to go outside? Like >> is there is there any oversight to that? >> Just making sure the activities are logical or >> right logical or or make sense. >> If we know it's going to be cold, maybe we have to come up with a different >> Right. They're using it because of inclement weather, >> right?
031send them out in the >> I haven't heard that feedback before. >> Yeah, it was like the same bingo card. They just keep it right in the back of their folder. It never even changes. Like it's it's never even a second thought that goes into it. So >> I thought everyone did what I did and just told your kids to go jump on a bed for 10 minutes that day. >> I think that might be the consensus. >> Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, I can absolutely uh provide that feedback back to uh Mr. Hack and Mr. Rodmire and um and see well Mr. Hack cuz the intermediate schools doing stuff online. So >> okay, >> sounds good. Thank you. >> Perfect. Thank you for saying something. >> All right. Any other questions or discussion on
032the e-learning plan? Do we have a motion to approve the e-learning plan as presented for 2526? I make a motion to um budget to uh to approve. Yes, there we go. >> I'll second the e-learning >> motion and a second. All in favor say I. >> I. All opposed. Carries. Take action on our superintendent goals for 2526. >> Um these goals we've been talking about already for let me call it at least a month. Um, and so we've had I don't mean to say it like we're being a dinners, but more just saying like hopefully this isn't a surprise to you what I should have said. >> Sorry. >> Anyway, um, and so if you if you do have any other questions or or how a thing needs to look, I'm happy to to stand
033for those and and answer them. No problem. >> I don't have any questions. >> No, I think that look great. >> Okay. Um, any further discussion or uh a motion to approve? >> Motion to approve the superintendent goals as presented. >> Second. >> Motion and a second. All in favor say I. >> I. All opposed. That carries. Take action on our 2627 calendar. >> Very good. Um, the administration has been working on this calendar for honestly we started talking about it on our June 5th retreat. So, we've been working on this um for a couple months and then I did meet with union leadership on this as well. Um couple things to highlight. If you look at September, we would end up starting on September 1st and that is u partly as a reaction to
034um new legislation that does allow Minnesota schools to open or have their very first day with students on September 1st or after. So even though if you look at the calendar, most reasonable people will say, "Well, why couldn't we just start on the 31st and start on a Monday?" Um, that's making laws for you, I guess, is the only thing I can say to that. Um, so as a result of starting on the 21st, our workshop week would start the Tuesday before that where we'd have our three workshop days and the two teacher professional days would be the Friday the 29th and then Monday the 31st. Um, another thing to highlight is that there would be uh a week of spring break at the end of March. Um, with the end of the quarter day
035being the 19th, professional day being the 22nd, and then the rest of that week being spring break. And then the last one to highlight is that the quarter 4 day ends up being um Friday, May 28th, which is the that Friday before Memorial Day. So, um, couple of odd things happening in this calendar. The first is that, and I think they're related, I don't know enough about calendar mechanics to have a strong opinion or a strong insight, but you have a very late Labor Day, which ends up being on Monday, September 7th. And then at least on the school world, you have Christmas um on Friday, which means we end up bringing the kids into the buildings on 21 through 23rd of December. So, couple unique things happening at the in that calendar. So, >>
036the only feedback I have is there's no legend to tell me what the colors mean. >> Oh, yeah. Not yet. I It drove me It drove me nuts. I like looked and scanned that thing up and down. What in the world am I looking at? >> I can't reveal it all right. >> Yeah, we want you to work a little bit on the school board. Well, I know after sitting on the calendar committee before that if if this is what you get, this is good because for for them to come together on on that that >> Yeah, >> that was like a 4-hour meeting the first time. So that that's that's good. >> Yeah, I I think it was productive. I mean, it's it's the calendar and at the end of the day, it just
037kind of gets into one of those that little sliding puzzle where well, you can move one tile one direction, but then you have to move all these other tiles at the same time. So, um anyway, any discussion or questions on the calendar? Do we have a motion to approve the calendar as presented for 2627? Motion to approve the calendar as presented with a guided highlighted [Music] >> Highlighted keys, please. Second. >> Motion on a second. All in favor say I. >> I. All opposed. >> We do it. So Ann and I can snicker in the background. >> All right. Look to take action on the 2627 law enforcement services agreement. Um this like the like the PSO agreement are very common place for schools nowadays in which either the school and the local jurisdiction are
038sharing the cost or one is taking on the whole cost and it it just allows that school excuse me it allows that peace officer to operate as um both a law enforcement entity but then also in some respects that are very limited and lined out in law as a school official. Um, and so in um, in this respect, this is a very common contract. I would dare say this is the very definition of a boilerplate sort of contract. Um, the I'm still I've only met with officer Dirks, is that actually his last name? >> I think so. >> Okay. And I've only met him once to this point, but he and I have communicated a few times over email. um his uh we can do a couple of different ways to evaluate the his performance
039and and his connection. You usually in a school district are worried about response times and his ability to connect with um administrative administration and leadership to make sure our emergency plans are in good shape and that we're we're doing the right thing there. Um the other way is that um his uh commanding officer usually connects with administrators to see hey how are things going and that that's because he's funded basically like in this case from the city of Byron who then contracts with Homestead County um that his commanding officer is is responsible for his evaluation but that they seek us for feedback. So, um, my understanding, which is super limited, is that he does a bangup job and, um, he's he's a really good resource to have around and is very responsive. So, anyway, that's
040my 25 cents. >> I did ask one question about what you have on the screen there, the 55%. City of Byron. Is that what it used to be? And it's now 100% being paid by the city versus 55% being paid. >> And you may not be aware, but they they took on the full cost >> of the school resource officer because of the budget. >> Oh, >> and they are, if I can paraphrase, taking on the full load until the school is in a position to take back some of that payroll. Lucky how many pays 45% pay 55%. >> I was going to say that seems like a very cheap police officer. >> Yep. That's only 55%. >> Oh yeah. Yeah. >> But yeah, so we will have to put that back in the budget
041then >> at some point. >> Mhm. >> Good to know. >> Or at least speak to the city about how sustainable the arrangement is. >> I'll tell you, but but the community can get at it then. No then. >> Yeah. They said no. we can recognize them. >> They helped us out tremendously. So, >> yeah, back on them. >> That that seems super fair. And um and depending on where we're at with with when it comes time to make a decision with that, I do know there's a couple federal grants out there that do help defay or completely cover the cost of school resource officers in the district. So, >> we could explore those. The the major downfall is federal grants are literally the worst >> to write and to complete and to compile. And
042so >> do we still have a grant writer? >> Yeah. Oh yeah. Carrie Delaney. Yes. >> Because that I have it right here on my my piece of paper. >> My my my governance class that I just started today actually had um it's for nonprofit and for grant writing. >> Okay. Whatever I can share with you, I I definitely will. >> Extra credit won't cost that much. >> Extra credit for the school as a project >> for profit. >> I can't hear you right now. You must be in a bad area. >> Right. When we talk about evaluating the SRO and this I have no specific concerns about officer de general. I would love if we could look at some at um like our disciplinary like his involvement or or involvement in disciplinary actions and
043just make sure we don't have groups of students that are being unfairly or disproportionately affected or that he's involved in. >> And that was and that was a big topic from the 20 2023 legislative session in which um a lot of the lang the boilerplate language on these contracts ended up changing as a result of that. And so, um, I'm glad you bring that up because that will absolutely be a thing to look at and that if if he is forming part of the of the school discipline team, um, that's not what we want. We do want him to be a support and a resource. Um, but he is there primarily as um, for lack of a better term, he's he's kind of the guardian dog of the of the district and he's not necessarily
044there to to worry about the sheep that are inside of the fence. He's there to worry about the wolves outside of the fence. So, >> right to keep safe. Yeah. >> Absolutely.
