001I'll motion to accept the agenda. Lori, >> I'll second. >> Um, any discussion? Any discussion? >> All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Opposed say eight. Motion carried. Then on the consent agenda, um I just had a couple of questions. Just explain to me and you can answer them right now. Lane changes. I thought we had those done. Wasn't that at last meeting? >> Yes. >> Um there was a lane change that was turned in back in January. >> Yeah. >> But it got missed when the agenda was set. So the person had turned in their paperwork well ahead of time, but >> but we didn't get it. >> Yeah. >> Gotcha. That work. And so for anybody listening, the person had it turned in on time. Um, it just got missed on
002the agendas. >> All right, sounds good. Any other questions on the consent agenda? Anything else you want to pull off? >> I need a motion then. >> I'll motion to make that accept agenda. >> I have the first motion. I'll second it. >> Jeremiah has second. Any discussion? Any discussion? >> All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Opposed. >> Motion carries. >> All right. Uh, student representative. Look at them. We have one. >> And your first name? I know you're Keen, right? >> Kaye. >> Kaylee. K. >> Got you. Thank you for coming. Please come every month. >> Hi, I'm Kaylee Key and I'm the vice president of the student council this year and I'm here to talk about homecoming which will be the week of the 22nd through the 26th and this
003year's theme is break the bolts and we are playing Ashby Brandon Evansville. We have coronation this Friday at 2:30 and the parade is next Friday the 26th at 2 followed with the football game at 7 and the 9 through 12 homecoming dance after that goes from 9:00 to 11:00 p.m. Then we have various dressups throughout the week with activities in the afternoon. And then Friday we have our theme day. to dress thunder and then we have float building and bingo in the morning and then um powderpuff football and Iron Man volleyball and then a dance for the seventh and eighth grade and then we'll go to the parade. >> What is Iron Man? >> Iron Man volleyball is like where the men play volleyball. It's like the powderpuff football is the girls and then Iron
004Man is the boys. We just started that I think last year. >> Well, that's fun. >> Sounds like fun. Any questions for her? >> Thank you very much. And like I said, see you next one. >> Yes. >> Thank you. >> Okay, we have one guest so far unless Mitchell shows up. Renee, >> so you heard it was um schoolboard appreciation month and a lot of the schoolboard has really worked hard the last year to get things back rolling and according to a lot of the people we've talked to, they're happy with how the school year is going so far this year. Seems like it's running smooth. People are happy. So, we have a donation for the school board. There's always a donation for the kids, classrooms, etc. So, this this time we have a
005donation for the schoolboard members. You can wear these with pride. >> Thank you. >> I'll get you. >> Oh, yeah. We'll give Chuck his maybe if he's nice. >> Oh, they're cool. I like that blue. Thank you. >> Cuz I just ordered something. >> Yeah. >> Thank you. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> If Mitchell comes, can we let it talk? >> Yeah. >> And program reports. Is there any questions for Kelsey? Not that she's here, but nope. Mr. Evenson. >> Yeah. Um I think Jeremiah had asked about uh taking a look at how much would it cost to fund some of the stuff that 21st century the whole of 21st centuries are have left. So the two things that brought up were adding back the day um for that to come to three days
006of bolt during the year. Um and I've got numbers on that. And then the second one was what would it look like to do something with robotics? Um, and I can explain I'll give you the numbers and I'll explain exactly what those two things are. If you have questions, you can ask me everybody. So if you take a look at those two items, the top one represents the stuff that we would need for bolt. Um, so there's nine teachers that we staff for Bolt each day. Um, and what that is based on, it's based on a ratio of 11 to one. Um, and right now we have nine teachers that are there because some of the groups have more than 11 kids obviously. So there's three grades that have that would need three extra teachers
007because they're over 20 over that 22 limit. So then they get an extra teacher. There's one grade that is sitting at about 18, which means they get a pair of professional. Anything after 16, they get a teacher and a pair of professional. And then we have one kitchen staff that takes over and she does the um gives the snack and does all those things. So that's where they come from. Um each of the teachers is paid $32.40 an hour. Um they work for 2.15 hours. So you see that for the total for the for the teachers. And then K uh one pair of professional that's we pay them last year we paid them $21 an hour $2.15 and then the kitchen staff was paid $20 an hour and she only works one hour cuz what
008they do is they prepare it they serve it they clean it up and then they're usually done they're out the door by the by 450. So um so if you look at that that's $20. That is the entire cost for one day. 69209 * 33 weeks works out to 22,838. Um, and then if you add in the fringe because we have to pay fringe during those times, anytime that anybody's in the building, we get fringe. So that's $26,826. If you divide that by 140 participants, that's what it costs per kit. So the top ones without fringe, the bottom ones with fringe >> are required. I mean the fringe is that something >> we are required. If they're in the building, they're working for us. We don't have a choice. >> I understand that. But >>
009if your students are doing better, your job is >> Yeah. I And like I said, I don't know the rules on that, Tanya. I know I just know that >> through 21st century, we've always had to pay the fringe on all those things. And it it is a it's a bigger chunk of money. I mean $4,000 buys a lot of stuff, but that's just things we face. Um and the bottom one, it's a little bit different because how we deal with uh how we've always dealt with um with robotics is we we kind of treated it like a coaching position. So what that is is a stipen. So there's always been three full-time coaches. Um so that stipen is $2,000 per coach. So, at $6,000. Then we have because of the number of kids we've
010had, we have a flexing coach that goes back and forth. And then we have we had a part-time person. Um, and that was $1,000. And you could choose not to have that person. The things would just come down. And then equipment and supplies. This is where it's really expensive to run this program because there's computer stuff and mechanical things that are required. And I what I did is I went back and I looked at, okay, over the last 5 years, how much have you spent? And the average is about $3,000. And that's also for um there expensive, but we also have to pay for entry fees um to go there. And then there's some also some each team that you have gets has to pay a fee. So that total comes up to 3,000 for
011everything. It's right around there. Um some years it was like 3,800 and some years was only 2200 depending on what happens. Then we do go to two competitions. Uh we try to go to at least two. Um and I I would suspect if you were doing this um we would probably just go to two. One for the the varsity and one for what we call the elementary. Um that average is about $458 for a bus. Um two trips would be 916. So you can see the total and then when you add fringe you get to 12,000. Um 44 participants is about $248. Um and when you add the fringe it's 29141. That came down a lot if you and the reason I figured it as one program is because if you figure just the high
012school part of it um they only had about 12 11 or 12 kids that participated last year. That number becomes overwhelming. It's almost $700 a kid. So, if you figure it as one big program and that's how we we try we try to deal with it. Um it's all um goes together as far as how we do with the finances. That's what it would be. So, >> um have you guys made any decisions on this yet? >> On that part, we have not. We've been um I've talked to the instructors. I know that they're trying to they have been able to last year we were successful in getting about $1,000 for from um we wrote a grant actually Dave and Nelson and I wrote a grant together and we had $1,000 for the upper group
013and 500 for the lower um and we just had to do some things like they they had to watch a video about engineering and some other stuff but it was easy stuff. The kids didn't mind doing it so and I think we took in like $1,500 for that so that that could be used. we if hopefully we could get that again. Um this is something that's out there. Uh it's a big expense that obviously there's not enough 21st century money to finance these two things left over. Um uh so but Daniel had asked me to put together some numbers for those. So those are the two programs that I talked that we did. the other programs. Um when um when we went back, I went back to everybody who offered a program in the fall
014last year and I said, "What do you want to do?" Um you know, it's your choice. Um here's what I'd like to do. And we talked about a per person basis to offer those programs. We had three people that said, "You know what? I want to offer it to the kids. I will volunteer my time." So, we have three programs that are going on. One is going to be completely free. Um, one's only going to be $35 in a um kid, which is manageable, and one is going to be around like 45 because they're volunteering their time. Um, others um Mrs. Olsen decided to wait a little bit. She's going to do more of a winter thing with her with what she did. Um, she did a book club. uh she's going to wait and
015then do a a shorter amount of time with um with books that the kids select instead of just selecting books all the way through the year. She's going to do that and then we had a couple of places that said no, you know, I just can't do this unless I get paid. So, we figured it out per pupil and we're offering that per pupil. So, you know, one of the one of the um activities cost over $100 per kid and I don't know where that'll go. And then we had a then we had a couple of them that just said no, you know, we're just I just we're not going to offer it at this point, but come back and see me in the winter time. So tried to go to every every single program
016that we had and and talk about this. Um we have do have a little bit of time with robotics because normally they haven't started till October, middle of October, end of October. So there is a little bit of time with that. Um and then that program usually runs through about March, the end of March. So, >> I know you said it starts in October. Do you already have kids that are signed up for it? >> No, we do not. Uh, we did not open that up just because I didn't want to open it up and then take it away from say you can't do it because there are some passionate kids about that program. >> You know, Brad, um, >> it's such a good thing. >> Yeah. >> And it's such a good it fits
017a niche of kids. >> Oh, for sure. Y >> um, >> all these do. >> I wonder if the lions lions and maybe the great eagle lions would contribute to that. I know they already do with activities. That's an activity, right? >> So, I don't know if they would think that's overlapping, but it might be worth bringing up. I think that that is really a >> it's so important >> and I think Dave Dave Nelson and I myself along with those grants we would go out and try to get if we chose to go forward with we try to go get some as much as we possibly could >> or maybe get sponsored by some businesses that >> we did talk to a couple businesses and at this point you know it it's kind of
018iffy time for businesses right now so they couldn't they really wouldn't commit to it. Um but they didn't say you know hey no no we're not doing anything. So um didn't have a lot of success with that but we would definitely go out and try to search and you know bring that number down. Um I was just asked for raw numbers. So uh the other thing that um we did with each one of these also is that um we talked to students and we tried to look at okay what's what do you really think is the most important and we talked about those those uh those areas that meet different kids needs and um these were these were two programs um uh that were mentioned but also the cooking class we have like 14 or
01915 kids that are really passionate about that um Uh even the DND class, you know, they there's 15 or 16 kids that really love going there every year, every every um week. So, uh those were some of the ones that people it's it's the it's the things it's the things that other kids that don't necessarily fit into sports, they don't fit into things. Those are the kids that are really passionate about these things. So, >> have you heard any um any feedback from parents about coming back from 3 to two days? >> Uh have had Yeah, we have definitely. I mean, I've I haven't gotten that, but there's been feedback why, you know, we tried to explain to them because of the freezing of the of the federal funds. So, that made a difference. So,
020um, not a lot cuz I think it was out there. I mean, people kind of knew that it was coming, but we have had I had open house. I had a couple people ask me over at the other school, how come it's only two days? You know, you know, my student struggles. I could, you know, they need all three days. Um, so that was brought up a couple of times. Haven't had a bunch of it, but you got to realize hadn't started yet. Um, we don't start bolt until next week. So, next week is when I would think that you're going to start hearing those that comment back. How come it's only two days? >> And did we eliminate that plat bus? the the late bus is still. So what we did um what we're
021trying to do um I asked him to give me a bill for the five months um that we would have so we would get through December or close to it. Um that would get us through and then we we could always if you guys wanted to eliminate the late bus at January that would be your call. Um there is enough money left over in the budget um because of uh not replacing any of those people that left like we didn't replace Alyssa for the whole year and we did not replace um Mary when she left and she's a full she was a full-time full year employee so there was enough money left over to pay for those for 5 months of activity bus so the the activity bus will be paid up all the way
022through December. How many kids use that? >> Uh, it really varies. Elementary kids, a lot of them. Uh, high school kids, not as much. The junior high kids for sports, they do, but when we when we do bolt, last year we were averaging putting 53 kids on the bus a night. So, it's quite a few. And a lot of it is in town. I've done, you know, but then we have we have probably 10 or 15 kids that live in Browerville that choose to come here that ride that activity bus and they won't come unless they have it. So those going to be that's a tough decision, but we should be paid up as long as Axim gets us the bill. Um we should be paid up for what an average last year we have
023enough money to to cover that for transportation. >> And you can move that money around like that. >> Well, we can't we we can do it this time because what happens is we when we prepay we have to have everything prepaid by September 30th. So the last day we can write any kind of a check for for uh 21st century is then. So you have a there's a wrap up period. The funding goes through August 31st and then there's a wrap up period where you actually so we have to fill out an FRF it's called um on what we're where the money is and what it is. So if we spend that down that last that's the last time we can do that. So as far as I know what's legal. I mean it's we're
024okay to do that. So >> So you're hoping to get five months? >> Five months. Well, September, October, November, and then December's short because we don't have there's a lot of days where we don't have Bolt because you got concerts going on, you've got um because of the vacation. So, there's actually, you know, when you look at Bolt in December, it's very few days um because of that. So, um it becomes a little bit more tolerable. So, it's actually like four and a half months. So, >> for robotics, do does this team pay the activities fee? No, no. It's always been a 21st century program. So, >> that could be an option. >> Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Any of this stuff. I mean, we can add fees to anything we want to. Um, and we've tried
025to do that. That's why we that's why I went to everybody and said, "Hey, what's but when you sat down with the robotics people when I s Dave Nelson is the one who really does all the financial stuff." He goes, "I'm going to tell my kids it's going to cost, you know, in the in the high school it's going to cost 500 and down here it's going to cost 100 something." So, we average it all. It's pretty tough to say you have to pay $291. >> But couldn't they just pay the the same? >> Yeah, absolutely. And that would and that would go down. Yeah, that's we can do it however we want to do it. It's just that's the options that we tried to throw out there. So, but without additional funding, it becomes
026an uphill battle. So, >> um high school robotics is a high school act can be a high school activities association. um >> high schooling. >> Yeah, they do. Um it still doesn't change that cost or whatever, but like that's something to >> There are places that counted as a high school activity >> to tier one. So it'd be like if you had cheerleading was part of it, that would be a tier one also. So >> I think for us it's something that we should definitely look at just because I know in our area daycare and that after school care is a big need. Um, you know, you already have some certain areas closing daycare centers. Look at um the the one that was up at the Lutheran church that we lost over the summer. Um,
027and you know, these kids need places to go and there's very limited options right now. And I think that's an important thing that we should really focus on. I don't know if it revolves around maybe taking money out of reserves to help pay for this for the year. Uh, same with robotics. I think if we could attach an activities fee and then maybe also take out a reserves for that, that'd be beneficial, too. And then give the robotics team a year to try to build up that base to try to find somebody that's willing to sponsor them that's willing to support them. Um, not that we want to burden the minds more cuz I know the Lions, both Great Eagle and L Prairie do awesome work and they definitely help them as much as they
028can. Um but I mean moving forward I think these are these are important things that we can focus on. Um and if we look at total we're looking at 184 participants for $40,000. Seems it seems like it's a pretty good investment. >> Are many of the kids in Bolt in robotics? Like are there a lot of >> There's some overlap. It's it's yeah there's some overlap with all of our programs. you know, one of the programs. There's there's days when, you know, when we do when we do like even the oneoffs, we'll have 10 or 15 kids that are doing something else or whatever. We did do all the one-off stuff. Um, we offered it through community ed so they're like, you know, fleece blanket making. Um, the stuff we run through the 4 um
029stuff, that's all going to be on there. It's just going to be at a per pay basis. So instead of being free, which it's been for the last 6 years, it's going to be it's going to there's going to be a cost, but we offered all those programs so that we didn't lose the programming. So So all those were there and even the you know, we're trying to offer all the big programs we can. Um that's what we're that's what we tried to do. So just like gym games is a big thing in the morning because a lot of kids don't have a place to go in the morning. So that's been a big deal. Um so what's going to happen with that is we're going to try to. right now they're not going to
030do it, but they're going to try to do some some things where they do it maybe two days a week and they try to get volunteers to do that. Um, so anyway, that was one of the ones that that the the people that are doing it say, you know, hey, um, could be have you have some time to think about it and then they decided, hey, this is what can be for you. So, but those are all it's it's not easy for any of these. I mean, you know, you're talking 60 or 70 things that happened in the school district that are gone now. I mean, it's just not easy. So, so whatever you want to do for direction, >> the kids all show up to vote. >> Uh, we average Okay, so we average
031That's a good question. So, I kind of, one of the things that I have to do at the end of the year is go through everything. So what we average during the year, we average about 87% participation because you got kids that go to dance, you got kids that go to flying football, you got kids that go to tackle football. So sometimes they're not going and then and then some days um we do have other things like we had like during March where we have our one of our biggest one of our really good programs is you know girls club. So we have 20 kids and I think out of those 20 kids 18 of them were bold kids. So then we didn't have those kids on Tuesdays because they were in Girls Club. So
032it really goes up and down. Um summer it goes lower. We're about 70 70 to 73% depending on the day because vacations um mom and dad decide they're going to the beach or whatever else. So we have 140 kids that are signed up total and I would say we probably average in during the year it's probably right around 120. So right around that spot. And then like this year for for summer we had 168 kids si sign up and we averaged about one about 125 130. So you can kind of get that and that's pretty that's pretty much the way it's been forever. You know it's about that we're in that range. >> Well for this cost I my thought is that they get two days a week and I know that's so important >>
033but two days a week is better than nothing. >> The robotics would have nothing, >> right? you have nothing >> and maybe we could instead have the cooking, you know what I'm saying? it would be cheaper and >> you know I mean just to because there are two days of hold on >> right I don't think this is an area where we need to be cheap on it though I mean once again for you get 87 87% participation which is outstanding but if you have 140 kids 160 kids throughout the summer like that's a lot of students that are enrolled in that program and once again daycare and after school care is really needed within our within our school district so I think cutting cutting that back again would be not a benefit to our
034community. >> One day, >> yeah, just one day a week. >> I think we are here to get our test scores up and I think losing one day a week of that would hurt that. I think it would affect it anyway. If we can figure out how to make that, what' you say was 30 26 and 12 is >> 31. Do you have around $40,000? >> Yeah. Quick note on the 8:15 weekly updates. There's an attachment to that called activity bus payments which has the number of kids for every month and the cost for every month and the total based on that from the asking building. >> Okay. So, what would you need from us? >> You need time to think about this again or I think, you know, I this is what I would
035say is that, you know, it's easier to add stuff in than to take give it and then take it back. So, I would really like, you know, you guys to research what you think. Um, and I think we start the year off with two. People are going to be happy, you know, if we add it in. Um, but I really think, you know, I before we jump into something, I I want to make sure that we have a that we're all in because if I have to go and do this and then all of a sudden we run into some financial issues and then I have to pull it back, it even makes it worse, I think. So, um, but you know, I just need I just need to go ahead probably by, you know,
036sometime obviously bolt starts in next week. um we're running some stuff, but um if we decided in October, if you guys want a month in October that we're going to add a third day in, I think we can see how it goes for a month and just see what we get for feedback. Uh that would be my recommendation. And then with the with the uh robotics, you definitely I would say we could have a month and we still have a very successful program cuz a lot of the a lot of the um robotics competitions and things like that they really don't start till January, February that in that nature and we would try to just go for a later competition so the kids would have plenty of time to prepare. Um, so I understand this
037is, you know, like I said, it's a big ask. So I don't want to I don't want to do that, but I think sometimes once it'll be a lot, we'll have a lot better barometer of what's going on once bolt starts because it's just like everything else once you don't have something and all of a sudden how come it's only two days. We'll see what the really the reaction is cuz right now everybody's in let's start school and and ready get ready mode. So, I think if we waited until October and you guys did some crunching or got some got some of your own feedback, uh, I'll do whatever you want. I mean, obviously, if you want to say yes tonight, I mean, we'll try to get the ball rolling for that. But if you
038want a month to think about it, you know, um, and really see what you guys want to do, I'm okay. I mean, definitely. >> Could you maybe get some numbers like with Bolt and Robotics and even like cooking and the DND and just get some numbers? The only reason I have those numbers is cuz he asked for those too, >> right? But just so we could look at them just to kind of >> I have all the numbers for all the big programs and even the small programs how much it cost cuz we wrote that down. What we did is we wanted to make sure that we were we weren't selling community ed short to do stuff. I mean obviously we could there's some things that we didn't charge as much or whatever just so
039we could have the programs. Um but every I have numbers on any program that you would ask about that. So and attendance for all of them. And if people have been asking you about the cooking and the DND, you know, some of those other ones, you know, to get those >> Yeah, DND. DND is going on because he's volunteering all his time. So, they're starting they're going to start with their normal times and go through everything. Um, so that'll be the same. Cooking is another one where um it's >> the cooking club after school, right? >> Yes, that would be the cooking club after school. We average about 14 or 15 kids um in that program. It's an expensive program because we pay for all the supplies >> and the instructor and everything else. So
040supplies are expensive when you're cooking stuff. It's not cheap. So because she likes to do some exotic things with food and you know it's a great, like I said, it's a great program. So >> you think there would be a group of folks out there that would maybe go about fundraising to get the bucks to do this? >> I don't know. I I don't know where to turn for some of this. Like I mean I could see you know obviously some of the parents I think would go out and do some stuff for robotics. I don't know how parents would go out and who you talk to to go to get bold money. I mean because it's it's more of a it's more of a academic program that you're working on stuff that's directly for
041school where where robotics is hey that's like a sport you know and we have we have booster clubs for all those places. So, I'm sure there's going to be some people that are interested in trying to figure out how to keep that program or everything else where Bolt is more general. I mean, it's it's a it's a tougher a little bit tougher cell. So, whatever if you guys have ideas, please let me know. Or if you want more information about anything, I will shoot it as whatever you want. I mean, and I have the financials on all that stuff. So, just let me know and I will send you, you know, on any activity that you hear about, I can get you the stuff for that. I don't know how it works with schools, but
042in my hometown there's a park and they needed new equipment because it was very old. And somewhere there's a company that takes shoes, boots, shoes, they can be a whole, it doesn't matter. But people in all these communities around are donating their old shoes. They weigh them and they get paid by the weight and this and they have drop sites and that'd be something to look into. I don't know, but they're going to build new equipment with what they get. >> That's amazing. Mhm. I've never heard of something like that, but you know, >> I could probably give them $1,000 worth for my kids. >> They have big feet and there's a lot of it. >> But it doesn't matter the shape cuz they recycle them, >> right? >> And make them I can I'll
043look into who they're going through. >> Fabulous. Yeah. Let me know. >> I'm willing to try any I'm willing to try anything. >> School is allowed to do that. >> I don't know. >> Yeah. And if anybody, like I said, if you have ideas or you know other schools that are doing this stuff or fundraisers, we'll try anything >> with the robotics program. If you can the coaches or somebody can go and I know it is a tough time for businesses, but there's a lot of businesses now using robotics for >> Yeah. And I know we have a really good >> and I think those businesses will be looking >> invest in kids that they can potentially bring to work. We have a really good link cuz Dave is actually a really good friend to
044the guy who owns Agard and our pasta plant. So, I know he was working with him, but I don't I just don't know how much how much he's willing to do, but I know that um he's very very good friends with him. So, I know he was trying to work some stuff up with that. So, and Mr. Nelson's really good about, you know, doing whatever when we wrote those grants last year. I mean he was you know very very diligent about you know is this the best way to do it? How should we do this? How you know those things? So any other questions that you have for me any other activity stuff that you want to know about? >> I think so I would like I mean to me I'd like to know by
045October. I mean that would be so if I could get an answer by the October board meeting on this stuff um then I could kind of we could also prepare to make sure that we can get people to work that third day and you know all those things that would be the way that I can >> find out how many can be addressed right and how many and the other thing how many people really want three days maybe two of these is a better option for me I have no idea but you're you are right Jeremiah there is a definite need for daycare I mean we're seeing that even in healthy kids. Our numbers are going up. Well, our school numbers are up. I mean, we have over I I know I I had to
046do numbers for for federal programs and I know that it's the first time that I can remember in a long time that we have 500 kids in our high school, which is amazing. I think we're at 501. Is that right? >> So, which is amazing. So, that helps with our federal program stuff. So, anyway, >> anything else? I have to run. So, that's why I want to make sure I've answered everything before I go. So, >> so our job is to think >> y bring back and I I will come back in October and I and I'll have if you and if you need anything, you know, if you need any kind of activity reports or anything, just let me know and I'll get it to you as fast as I possibly can. So, >>
047thank you. Just want to add a brief thank you to all the community organizations and businesses for the donations they do give to our programs. Um, one of the programs that we've done the last few years is the innovative school project grant. And I was explaining in the finance committee how all I have to do is turn in our board donation list for the matching 5,000 because we get quite a few. So, if anybody want a little more information on that one, um, >> that always goes up with it. There's some good programs in there that kids, teachers do. >> Thank you to all the donations we get. >> Color run is also one where we get a lot of support. I don't know where the phoneathon is at, but that's one that we started
048recently for activities. All right, to get back to stuff, u I think we're on the technology report. >> Mr. Mitchell says he's been busy. >> Anything you'd like to ask Mitch? >> I guess good job with the buzzer situation. I guess for sure that was handled pretty >> quickly and dealt with in a good manner. So, >> was it adrenaline rush? >> I'm I'm sure. >> Yes. Uh, and then it sounds uh with the light bar situation, too. It's unfortunate. >> We're crossing our fingers chip. So, it's not looking good for homecoming. But Angela says we're doing it anyway. They're going to figure out something. So, >> he's still saying Friday. They're going to be here Friday, but Exactly. this >> this Friday afternoon. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Oh, well, I didn't know where it
049went. >> I thought it was Monday. >> Yeah, that's what Key just said. It was Friday at 2 p.m. >> Never mind. >> They thought it actually was Monday. >> I believe they switched it because of >> sporting events Friday. Okay. >> Okay. Anything from the business manager. >> Anybody got a question for Sherry? >> Sherry, I was looking at the the community ed one. >> Are we really down that much? it is. But there I am hopefully optimistic that once we go through the audit that those numbers will change. We've got a really high number sitting in deferred revenue right now that is still making up for that um anomaly that happened two years ago with school age care at the county. Okay. >> So I'm hoping and Caroline and I have talked about
050that. Uh she's our our top auditor. Um we've talked a lot about that that she has to figure out how to get that um reversed out of there and then we'll have a lot better picture of where community is sitting once we get that deferred revenue code fixed. So so that will be hopefully when >> during the audit. So the audit starts uh October 6th. It's the week of October 6th and we're doing a lot of preliminary stuff right now and she's working on trying to get some of our things fixed beforehand so that it goes pretty smoothly. But that's a big kicker right now in that in that um area. Yeah. So, anything else for Sherry? Thank you much ma'am. Principles, every time I go to that opening day workshop, they get younger and
051younger every time. They look like they're high school kids. >> But we only had two teachers this year. >> That's crazy. Any questions? We are so quiet tonight. >> I guess I'll ask a question since somebody else wants to ask a question. Um, so new students come in. Have you seen a large increase of uh enrollment into the elementary or >> we are I believe over 500 now. >> Okay. So, >> and then um are they are they you know early elementary or are they you know kind of that middle school range or is it kind of varying? >> They're all over the place. Yep. Wide variety. >> All right. Um do a lot of these individuals live in the new apartment complex that kind of popped over. >> Um some do. >> We should
052be over a thousand kids this year. Maybe >> at at multiple points during the year probably. Yes. >> I believe we are right now. >> That's bigger than we've been for a while. That's good. Good. Good. Handbooks. All discussion went well, did it? They weren't bored out of their trees. >> Oh, I'm not going that far, but yes, well, >> my daughter said that you stopped by her class. You talked about um bullying and treating people with respect and stuff like that. So, >> being nice. Yes. >> Yeah. She definitely came back and told me that you were in there talking to everybody. So, >> good. At least she knew. No, the kids were wonderful listening and um Mike Zimmerman did the PBIS stuff along with other people helping him and then I came in
053and did the other roles that don't really fit into those areas. So that was good. It was very fun. I always like getting into the classroom. So thank you for doing that, Tammy. It's important. >> Yeah, it's important. It is. It's important work. >> It's also required, but I would do it. Well, I appreciate I would definitely do it anyway. So, >> you should have just rolled with the compliment. >> I know I should have, but I have to be honest. >> Um, have you had any push backs or questions about the cell phone policy or smartwatch policy? >> Not one. >> That's good. >> The kids did ask about it and then there was not one comment. They said, "Okay, is there room in the classroom basket for those two?" Yep. So, and not
054one parents has reached out. >> Interesting. How about high school? >> Oh, it's been quiet. I think we've collected a couple of phones here and there, but nothing dramatic. It's a little bit noisy in lunch room, but kids have been real good about it. I think there's a collective side that we did something like that. But, you know, again, like I said in the report, we didn't drop the hammer on them. It went like this over the last couple years. Plus, we passed it last February and you were gracious enough as a board to say, "We'll wait till school starts." And I, you know, without that, you know, flip, you know, real quick. Kids kind of just, "Okay, you heard about it. He's into it. I haven't heard any kickback. I mean, I staff that
055there's been any collective argument or anything like that. We have an item on the agenda." Um, and so what I have heard was that that was a scare with the doors and the security system. And then I hear the but how can I contact mom and dad if that goes on again? I need mom and dad. And my only thought was this is how we raise these kids now. They are totally dependent on. But if you're saying they're doing okay with, you know, putting the nook away. So that I think we have to keep an eye on it still to just because that was a legitimate concern. >> Absolutely. >> Get a hold of my mom and dad. >> It is. And you know, and we had that discussion collectively as an administrative team. >>
056You know, that argument comes down. was brought up, you know, do we want, you know, the safety aspect is the when those calls come, you know, notwithstanding what Mitchell was saying, us at the front end as principles, a million things are going through our heads because now we've got kids roaming around and we have no clue what's going on. >> So, we're we're as concerned as anybody, but we got to take care of these kids. Plus, we don't know what's on the other end of the hall. We don't know what's above us or below us. So, we're trying to ascertain getting as much information as we can, but our first priority is taking care of those kids, get them locked away and in a safe position, number one, then we'll tackle everything else. And I
057get the concerns from absolutely legitimate. The problem comes in is, you know, from a safety aspect, I'm sure he can speak to this too because we're going to be having some really deep discussions on this as we move forward with implementing Alice along with um the beautifification. I love you guys and those two programs enveloping each other. Um, do we want additional five? You know, all of a sudden you got people from the outside and you got to wait for the police to come and it just becomes a safety aspect and safety concern. And cell phones are there. They're in the locker. The first concern is obviously get those kids locked away. Then we'll figure it out and then afterwards they're going to stop any kid from making contact with parents. Nobody said no to
058any child if that were the case. I didn't hear that that was a problem. But I can see where parents I know that the kids I mean I can I go back to parents and I got parents better teachers and my staff. So that's a good is concerned. I am a lot of Detroit parents too. >> Y not easy. >> I think as a parent the response was good. I mean I was at work you know I got I received the message um and it sound like everything was okay. We talked about it with my daughters, you know, at at dinner time that night and neither of my daughters were that phased by it, you know, they just said, "Oh, yeah, it was kind of a drill." And um so I don't like they they
059weren't upset by it. They weren't emotional over it. You know, we just talked about it and talked about, you know, sometimes things like this happen and you're going to face situations like this and it's kind of a way to work with them and kind of work through these things that are going to pop up. So, I mean, it sounds >> And I think it happened at the high school, too, right? It was just It was at the high school. So, like my elementary kid didn't even realize anything was going on either, you know, like >> the the alarm goes off here, too. >> Yeah. But he did. He just thought it was, you know, just a drill kind of thing. But my high schooler was a little more freaked out. um to clarify when when
060it gets triggered in one building, the other building will get notice that it was triggered. So like either way, both will get a notification. >> And also I want to say the reason I don't hear a lot about it is I'll compliment the staff because they knew exactly what to do >> and what to do and how to handle it without asking any questions. It is stressful because obviously we frontload these things because the situation when we drill and that with the staff so we don't have accidents or things of that nature and the staff knew instinctively cuz none of us knew when it gets tripped. I mean I'm the one who you know planned the initiation all that along with Tammy and and we didn't have that. So it was a good test run
061but I compliment the staff because they did everything absolutely appropriate. So they need to be complimented very heavily on taking care of those kids. >> Kudos to for sure. >> Good job staff. >> Yeah. >> Yes, ma'am. >> A long time ago before cell phones, I always heard that if a room is full of chitchat, a room of kids is full of chitchat, that's a healthy thing. So even more so now to hear that chitchat, it's probably, oh my gosh, what are they doing? Because they were quiet before. But that's healthy. It's a healthy environment for them. that lunch. I mean, we had a cell phone call center. They've been awesome. I mean, we had our class meetings. It was the first year that I was dead quiet in there. Kept it for 20 minutes
062because you lose your audience with that age group. Kept it for 20 minutes. Went to the highlights. It was a first class meeting. They did fantastic. 7 through 9, 10 through 12. I didn't have to raise my voice. I used to just cloud right through. Got done with, had a good conversation. Phenomenal. So, compliments to the kids. All right, sounds good. >> So, I think any more discussion on the cell phone then we can skip that item on the agenda. I think anything from the board. >> I just got a card here that was signed by several people if that were around school board appreciation. We got shirts and a card. with the shirts coming tonight and the thing in July I believe it was Lori was planning to look into P >> where Kate
063just sent me this afternoon some information on some so once I have to take the pictures with her prices I don't know if she's done the logo yet >> I brought you some today too >> there you go so she's been she's pregnant and I think she's had some health problems and she's been doctoring a lot So, >> I think she's working on it as fast as she can. So, I did get just prices now to kind of see what >> Just curious wherever they are. >> They're going they're getting there. >> Anything else from the board? Anybody been to anything fun besides all the fall sports and everything? >> What do this thing called work? It's a lot of fun. >> But you still have a job, right? >> I do. >> That's good.
064Are you superintendent, Mr. Lixson? >> Hello. Um, I know one item that fits under here um might have seen it on kind of some initial planning like a ribbon cutting or the um track and was taking a look at there's a time slot between 4 and like 5:45 which we were hoping to do something. I know there are some discussions and I talked a little bit about you know what might be the best time. I just kind of want to do a celebration of that. So talking a little bit with Mrs. Peruse. Um but having wanting to do something special there where the kids can come out maybe play some yard games out on the turf and stuff before all the big um festivities of homecoming. So, I mean, I'm more than happy to take
065thoughts and suggestions on how that might be effectively organized. >> I think it's a good idea. >> One morning pages before that. >> Yes. As far as I know today with the information I have. >> Okay. Um my feeling was and um talking with that with a few different family members, the closer we can get to that 6:00 window when the tailgating starts for the ribbon cutting portion of it anyway would be better to get more people there for that and possibly for the tailgating too. I know I went to the one for the previous home game and it was pretty slow for him. You know, we didn't got there about 20 to 7 or so and it was, you know, rather slow with people filtering in. So, I think the closer we can get
066to that to expose the tailgating and help those um businesses that are doing that um and it gives more time for people that are working to get there too. No board members or coaches that don't take the time to be on the committee should be involved. feeling that I have. >> I do know our church did a big auction this summer. We gave $25,000 and we bought two new brand new John Deere lawnmowers. So, one Sunday we parked them on the church lawn and people were very grateful to see where their money for the auction was spent. So, I think us doing that, inviting folks in to see what it looks like is a good good idea. I think they'll see that the tax dollars are going to be periods. >> Maybe you can answer
067this. Did we ever get that scene looked at? >> Um, no. Because they started sealing. They were here. >> Okay. >> The week on Tuesday before the football game, they wanted to start working. >> Gotcha. Okay. And they started on Saturday morning at >> 7 a.m. I think >> I might have even been before seven. They were working. >> Yeah, I saw them out Saturday and Sunday. So >> yeah, they were in town on Tuesday waiting to go to work. >> Okay. >> So could we do maybe yard game board and then do the ribbon cutting edge >> that are the game? I mean could you kind of flip those kind of >> Yeah, it's just a matter of structure and looking at everything. I was sick enough. The reason I think it's yard game
068would be nice is invites people card on there. >> It gives away keeps occupied >> and then maybe do the ribbon cutting like 6 or 65. I think I could be wrong, but like I was there on a Friday morning. >> I know. I couldn't be here at home. >> That was my >> time to be able to get there. >> Right before the game, right? Right. >> But they have to practice on the field beforehand. No, that's that's the usually there by 6:30 they're on >> usually warming up 61. >> I don't remember. I guess that's hard because you have to make all those pieces together. Yeah, >> but even if you advertise it like say, >> you know, to be here at 6 to do tailgating to do >> look at it, >>
069you know, everything. This is what's going on on the football, >> right? >> Anything else we have to talk about? >> Uh, tomorrow morning for a couple days on Thursday. Um in the packet there was two things attached uh for the adoption of the superintendent evaluation instrument. Um >> there's a we got to talk about this guys. >> There's a draft in there of what that might look like and then a draft of some possible goals. Uh they're talking executive committee. What I really need to know is what the goals are because if I'm to collect evidence and work towards them, obviously I need to know what they are. I have a draft of what an evaluation instrument could look like. Obviously, I mean that can be adjusted and modified with feedback. But um for
070me in particular, like if I'm going to gra gather evidence, which is the kind of model that is attached there, obviously I need to know what I'm gathering it for. And in the one that's attached to the board book, there was three based on the feedback I was getting at the time. The first one was v visibility and community engagement, which is a goal that you guys have seen before, but you know, like you see how I had a lot of stuff. We started filling some of that in budget produce a lot of budget documents. Obviously got the audit coming up here, lots of projections to do. and then human resources where I put focus on delegation. Um and within that goal that was attached to the board book um it references the strategic plan
071which has as we've worked on it various different goals that we have set as a board and um some of those do include there's academic data in there and different needs working in that but yeah whatever it is that you want to focus You can have a goal related to that and evidence. So the main thing I'd like tonight is to know what the goals are and then you know whatever you want direction you want to take evaluation instrument that can be adjusted in the next month but you probably want one ready to go by the November suggestions have a few that what I had gotten is pretty much what we've put in here. But we wanted visibility in the community. We wanted participation in the community. We wanted something to do with finances and
072budgets. And we wanted something to do with personnel, human resources, that kind of thing. So those three things are in there. I'm guessing we need to make a motion on that one these ones when we come up with other ones because I would like to uh have us get the goals put out so that he can start working on them. So then he realized we have a very short time period here. He started working for us the 1st of July. So we also gave him the date of the 31st of December to say we're going to renew. We're not new. So that gives us quite six months to come up with. So I would like to see us have this done, have the evaluation tool finished so that we give that out to folks in
073November so that we get the results back and we have some concrete evidence, some objective evidence um to help us make our decision. So if we figure out some goals that you want us to work on until then we can approve those tonight and we can begin working on those and then we'll take another look at the evaluation tool itself and then give it up to November. what you had listed there was the goals that we've given you correctly >> and I think that list is something I could get behind them go with those goals Not hearing any more discussion. Can I have a motion to accept the goals as they are listed here? >> I move to accept the goals as listed. I'll >> second it. Any further discussion? Any further discussion? Any further
074discussion? >> All those in favor say I. >> Opposed. >> Motion carries. >> Okay. Um, I'll talk a little bit more about what I took from the MSBA model since we talked about the goals. And obviously that can look however you want. For your sake, I put the link to the MSBA handbook. Um, if you take a look to the past MSBA like webinars, there's one about the superintendent evaluation yearly. This performance scale is copied directly out of that handbook. And then it's kind of a hodgepodge of a couple of them. This one takes the goals and each goal has a set related to it. And if you go to the handbook, it goes more like it has a matrix. So describes what what a four should be, what a three should be. And so
075it has each one of those. So first they score there and then evidence. So that would be about like on that one. >> It's in this book if anybody wants to >> and then evidence towards completion or advancement goals specifically towards the goals that you guys set and providing you evidence and advancing as you would expect towards that. The overall rating is the overall rating for that standard. And then a r spot for comments. As you can see there, it says a rating of a four or one requires a comment. So if you give it the highest or lowest rating, it asks for an explanation. Um, and I guess the way it's structured, this one, if you were to go with this, only asks it if you're like total rating average one or four. So
076then so it goes through the ones for the goals and then it has a section where you can rate the other standards if you want and provide a comment. Um that's up to you or if you want to require it that's also yours. And then the overall score your average and then a spot there to mark satisfactory and define satisfactory as 2.5 or higher. Again, it's up to you, but like you look at the rating scales like two is not necessarily like deficient. Like there's room for improvement and a three is three is definitely satisfactory. But like in a job like this, like there should be variations in your score. So that was a draft that if you take a look at the MSBA is like a hodgepodge of some of the stuff you see
077there. You can never take this whole thing. This whole thing is an evaluation tool. It would take hours to fill it out. So, they want you to take out bits and pieces and then adjust as you see fit for it, too. So, >> we should probably get something in there, too, so we can get some feedback from, you know, staff. >> Yep. I That's my next comment was I would like to see at least the admin admin team, and I was even kicking around the idea of the entire staff The entire staff might be a lot >> might I couldn't quite I'm wrapping my brain on who we picked to take it to do it. So we have >> I mean could we just pull randomly? So >> we have done surveys in the past
078>> and the let's see in the if you read through these one of them I think under visibility because the last time we did a survey of all the staff it was for visibility. Um yeah community sur this one says community we did community last time too. Okay. So, we have done a community survey before and we have done a staff survey specifically of visibility. Um, obviously finance really wouldn't work for that because like not everybody's going to know the back >> of that and human services. I mean, you can chew on that for a bit. Um, you do have to be You do have to decide how you're going to use the information. But under that visibility run, it does list goals you approve surveying both the community and the staff. I don't know
079if you want to go to the community. I truly think having we meet with Daniel once a month unless you call personally or talk to whatever. But the rest of these people kind of work with them every day. So I think they would have a different picture and I just think some of that would help us with that decision in December. Agree. >> So we'll go from there and that's okay. I think that executive committee if we can still do email back and forth instead of having to get together and meet just kick around those kind of ideas and see what I can always have a great ego, too. You guys hate me, too. >> We'll see how that works, right? I mean, we'll make it work. >> Are you guys meeting every month? >>
080Just got one summary of one meeting. >> So, the last time we met, I was not I didn't get a summary of because I there's a lot going on in my life at that point in time. Um, and so I wasn't able to pop it out, but you know, we haven't met yet this month, but I'm sure we will. So, >> that's interesting for us to um understand what's going on. >> Well, you guys haven't given us a finance form either. >> And on that little bitty topic, >> we we did before just I'm just wondering we information. >> I mean, we should all be sharing information back and forth. The information should be flowing. >> Yeah. >> Do that. >> Once again, I would send it out, but uh we I go from that
081to this and then I go home and then typically I eat and put my kids to bed and then >> then I get distracted. >> Yep. But um I think later we'll have to discuss how many times we'll have to meet because if we have to be fiscally responsible sometime in the future this charging $50 for all these meetings could get pricey which is a policy that we have to place now. So we have to think about that kind of stuff. Maybe we'll wait till January. >> Do we have to have do they have to be minutes in these meetings? >> No. You can. >> Yeah, I think it would be wise to do that and we did do it for the finance community report. >> When we met with Mr. Fro, we had an
082agenda come out to us and then there was a summary the next day. >> We might want to get a >> I think I did ask Jennifer that >> and I don't think we need to do minutes. How do you know? Yeah. If we're getting paid for it. I mean, I don't >> we'll have to check with her again cuz I know she told us that >> because we're not making official decision. >> But isn't it good to to send it out to the whole board so that everyone knows what's happening? Otherwise, like I come and I have no idea and you guys are having side conversations that I know nothing about because no summary was ever sent to me or told to me. >> So then would that get into open meeting law >>
083violation? >> No, you send out a summary of what happened. But would that you know if you're telling everybody if you're in a committee would that be open meeting? I don't know. I'm just wondering >> because Okay. Um, I I go to the school website and under the board information, I pull I put dates that committees when I know about them cuz that cuz committees are kind of like they're the reason that you have less than a forum is because they can't do official business. There's some debate about how much information you share. Um, it's definitely I I am pro like making sure you have dates out there. What you guys communicate and I'm a member of the board as well. Um, is somewhat of a decision amongst ourselves, but like I know the minutes
084has been asked for legal before specifically minutes like you would see from this meeting. Maybe that would be a column for John. >> But I know I think the executive committee is on there. >> This Yeah, this month we've we've just been email. >> I think I think it's okay to you know Oh, I see you met. >> We didn't get together. Okay. So, as a point of reference, the district's used the Chamber of Commerce before for survey, and I could share these old surveys with you. And then there was a survey done of elementary and secondary staff, if you remember, right? Uh Tanya, you helped review these once upon a time. So, I can share those so that you have some like something that we use before. >> Definitely good. All right. So, do
085we kick that around enough? >> Okay. On to the next. Um, we're ready for new business. >> Yes. >> Okay. Then we'll do the donations quick. Very wonderful. Again, >> um, unfinished business with cell phone policy. Sorry. >> Um, we said we skipped that because we talked about it during the principal report. >> Okay. Bertram Lions gave $1,000 to FFA because they came and worked the tractor pole which went from 11:00 in the morning till 9:30 that night. So they earned their money. Um then Stony Creek Dairy LLC gave $250 to the wait room. Dair Ridge Incorporated gave $500 to the wait room. The American Legion Post 12 gave $500 to the wait room. Steve Neville over at Neville's Hardware in Bragel gave $400 for the welcome baskets. Okay, I'm gonna kill this. Takiierra Bravo
086gave $50 for the wait room fundraiser. True North Marketplace gave $50 for the weight room fundraiser. Trinity Lutheran Church Ladies Circle gave $200 to the Kylie Goth scholarship and Mid Central National Bank gave $300 to the letter club. I would need a motion. So moved. >> One second. Lori. Any discussion? Any discussion? Any discussion? All those in favor say I. >> I. Opposed. Motion carries. Mr. Le a little bit about the preliminary 25 payable 26 levy. >> Uh we reviewed these quickly in the finance committee. Um the total revenue generated by the estimated amount is about 6ome%. Um, it should be noted that that's not the same as a 6% to taxpayers as the way it's calculated is they take the total amount of money that's being asked from the levy. Then they divide that
087up based on property value and property owners. And school of finance is particularly con complicated because there are some that go off. refer referendum market value which is fairly straightforward in that your property is worth so much you get taxed x amount and then there's net tax capacity which has all this lovely property identification where if it's a difference if you are a business or an a or residential that sort of fun stuff so if you do the truth and taxation in December like I take more of a look at what that means like per household but just so you know like that 6% increase um which is about $200,000 on this is not like the same as necessarily what you'll see on a tax statement. And then that represents slightly over 1.1% of the
088total revenue budget that is currently projected. But the big thing we do at the September meeting, as you can see there, it says maximum maximum. There's more of a description in front of you and some history. But um the reason we do that is that these runs that we get started last week which is a little bit late because there's about three new staff in need and so forth in education and they basically run these like every week if not a little sooner or more often and numbers can fluctuate. They can increase or decrease. So if you certified them at the numbers that they were today and for some reason they would discover an error where you can actually levy for more, you wouldn't be able to levy that amount if you could only levy
089that amount less. So that's why we say maximum so that if there is like a correction that you still have that freedom to move the numbers around. I didn't make a note here for school age child care. Um, we're still levying that or I'm still saying that we'll do that at maximum, but like we're when we do the levy run sheet, I put in 20,000 and that's because we did almost never do 200,000 and that was why that one year when the company did collect it like it was removed from the levy sheet, but they didn't remove it when they went to collect taxes. So that's why it caused those kind of wonky things for the correction for the community. I am happy to answer any questions if you have any at this point. >>
090That's one of those motions that we make every September to lend to the max and adjust as the time goes by. So if there aren't any more questions, I would entertain a motion to >> certify the levy for the maximum amount. Gotcha. Laur motion. >> I'll second it. >> Um second. Any further discussions? >> All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Opposed. Motion carries. And if you missed it in the uh consent agenda, the truth and taxation is at the regular December board meeting was already approved. Okay. Update policies 104 and 209. Policy 104 is the school's mission statement and the attachment to the updated MSBA policy including the mission statement that we did in the strategic planning. I work with the big river group and 209 which is um would be the
091ident exhibit for 209 which would be the board norms which are those documents back there on the wall. In case you haven't heard it for a while, our mission is of the Lard Gaggo public school district is to instill pride in every individual within our community by fostering meaningful relationships, demonstrating dedication to lifelong learning and elevating all students by standing united and creating big opportunities. A lot of words, but it makes total sense to me. Any discussion on those? >> It's a good mission statement. >> It is very good. And I think this policy 209, we do a lot of that at the strategic planning where that comes from. So that's where you've seen it before. I believe we have two motion to accept those both of them. >> I'd make a motion to accept
092policy one4 and 21. >> Jeremiah makes the motion. I'll second it. Lori to accept those two policies. Any further discussion? Any further discussion? Any further discussion? All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Opposed. Motion carries. >> And turf. You have to do something with the turf. >> Yeah, we have two. We do have two additions to the agenda. >> Oh, that's right. >> Thank you, >> Linda. So, um the one is just okay to bid the extra turf from the project. So, like they're purchased with public funds. So, like we won't um sell them at all unless it's approved to be bid on to the >> How much extra do we have? >> Uh quite a bit. Um it's not necessarily worth a lot, but it's still public still public. Um when I
093spent time walking the turf with um the day the day of the first game, we spent hour hour and a half walking with Brad and Kelsey and looking at different things and then they were moving the excess turf. I don't know why there was there was part of a roll and I don't know why that was left but there was pieces that they lay the entire field out and then they cut out where the logo was or excuse me where the logo is and some other places they cut those section pieces out and folded them up and they are considered extra turf. um why the there was a fair role there and I don't know why that was left. Um, that being said, um, Kelsey or Brad did say that field turf recommends not selling
094all of the turf, keeping a few pieces so that if because turf is basically carpet, if there's a tear or something like that, it can be we have the turf here to fix it. >> Yeah. And in particular, it' be mostly the green cuz the colored stuff is harder to come by and so we have more the green left over. That would probably be primarily the ones that's the primary color looking at. >> Did the company over um over >> estimating? >> Yeah. Overestimate >> what they needed. >> Well, a lot of it's from like Mr. Zastro explained like they lay it out and they cut the worst element. So you have some left over from the cutting out the logo and then lay it out like it's comes in rolls. So you don't necessarily
095use the whole roll. So like we're not not talking about like this isn't going to get a lot of money but you can't sell it unless you approve it by the board. I think also just like many projects um and as Daniel's alluded to, there's part of a roll left. They maybe overestimate by a roll because if there something happens and you tear a big piece when you're laying it down, now we don't have the jerk here. Um, so and if they start a roll, it's your role because, you know, if you're working on siding on a house and they start a new piece and that piece is your piece. I mean, it's so they leave you the excess. >> Is it too much to just hang on to? >> Um, yeah. >> A lot.
096>> Like it's it ends up being a lot. And we would want to keep the colored and a good amount of the green, but like some of the green is like like he was saying, they started laying it out and so it's like a harder roll and so they order extra ingredients like an issue. Like I said, they're not they're not like necessarily worth a lot, but they're yours unless they come here and like you can't sell them unless you have or vote because it's considered public funds. The company won't buy it back. >> I'm sure I'm sure they won't. >> They usually don't. >> If they wouldn't buy it back, they would have taken it. >> So, is somebody um going to decide how much we keep? We just if somebody wants to walk
097in take all they can. Are we going to let them or are we? >> We visit as administration staff first. So we'll probably keep question. >> So you guys are kind of on top of that. >> Yeah, we just need basically asking let us use your judgment. Really ask. It sounds like you already have a plan in place that you want to know. So we just need our approval. >> I guess we need a motion for that. >> I move the sales the access turf. All second motion and a second. >> Any discussion on the turf sound? Any further discussion? Any further discussion? All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Opposed. Okay. Motion carried. And the food service. Well, we were we we were advertising for a headcot and haven't gotten that. And
098you know, because they're a million-dollar business that we have at our school and the MSBA every year we go there and there are vendors that talk to us and we eat their food and um some of it is very nutritious, very well done. And they've talked to us about how they can come in and and they keep your staff and everything if the staff wants to stay. But I think we should look into it. the timeline. We can look into that and um just check into it as an order and have them come and present to us and um see the cost uh effectiveness of it or because then we don't have to hire they do all of that. Um they manage it all and that might just be it once or twice before for
099some reason. We just never >> we just never did it >> really did it. Yeah, >> I think we looked into doing the custodians the same way. >> Yeah, you basically contracting out the service, right? Contract your contract for substit. >> Has the food director been filling in that position then? >> Yes. Okay. So, do we need a motion to do that or can we just instruct you or >> you only need a consensus for me? If if if the intent is for me to come and get you information, I will need a consensus. >> I'd like us to try to look and see who were at MSBA last year. >> There were quite a few. >> There were a few. >> That's where I got that big whisk from. Came in handy. >> Somebody
100was handing out the breakfast burritos. Was it cut them? >> Is their logo on? >> Um, I don't know. I'd have to look. It might be wore off. >> And that wasn't as impressive. >> It just would think that that was a good would be a good consideration. But that other one >> Oh, look. Ter is the only one that I'm aware of. Like I think BB has ter >> you ran into places while you're there. You'll have to let me know. >> Sure. >> I think it would be a good thing to check into >> especially if we have to get into the saving right sooner than later. We let Daniel check in. >> All right. emotion to then a bird at
