001We'll start with the pledge. 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. And let the record reflect that all members are present. Um, and I have just a couple comments uh to start out with. So, we're starting to hear welcome back a lot, which is pretty exciting. Uh, the new school year, so excited for that. Um, again, this month in donations, we have uh just over $2,700. So, thank you to those groups that are that are supporting our kids. Um, it is very much appreciated. And then, just so everybody knows, uh, normally we do the committee reports afterwards. Um and it was basically redundant. So that's why we just
002said let's just let people brief and and do that. So um for Midstate though, uh we haven't had a meeting, but I'll just take care of those with the board chair comments because that's the same thing. So uh that is that. Uh so I would take a a motion to approve the agenda. >> I'll make a motion. Director >> Cole, thank you. I'll >> second. Director Andrews. >> All right. Any discussion? All in favor say I. I >> opposed. Motion carries. All right. Um, appreciation, recognition, and presentations. Do we have any of those tonight? >> No. >> Didn't think so. >> Can I just mention something? >> Yeah, absolutely. >> Tony, um, have you noticed the south end flower bed at the elementary? Has there been a lady working on it? >> The flower bed
003on the south end? >> Yeah, like of the elementary. So, like towards the parking lot. >> Yep. >> Or there. Um, >> I had a client and we were visiting about the and she was going to go work on it and I just didn't know if she had gotten it complete yet. >> I have not I have not noticed a change. >> I have not. >> Okay. All right. I know I talked to Tony Deval and he's aware that that there's a short little >> Okay. >> lady with gray hair. >> That's what she's working on. >> I just wanted to I haven't Yeah. I haven't noticed a noticeable change yet. She said she definitely it's a lot more project than she thought. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> So hopefully she gets it done. >> All
004right. Um recognitions of citizen for input. Doesn't look anybody here. Um so we'll move into the superintendent report. >> Okay. uh MKI the Mor Morrison County Inter agency Council uh met with them last week and there's a change for their funding through DHS department of health and what used to be ED neglect is no longer um talking like the truency realm of things and so it's falling under the umbrella of um child welfare and with that uh truency for them is going to be just for elementary and middle school and at 16 they're just going to say we're not going to work with them. That's pretty pretty clear that they said that. Um and also they're looking at they talked to u Northern Pines uh and they do have somebody for for an intervention uh
005support to schools and but it would be a cost to them to the to the districts. Uh but it it looks like we might be able to use um MA billing for that. Most of that. Um any questions on that part? Okay. Uh SRO I met with Chief uh McDonald this morning for about an hour discussed the SR uh role in schools and we agreed upon some things um that it's relationship building with students. Um there's an education for students educa education components uh within the curriculum that they can offer. Uh it's an education for staff so they kind of understand the perspective of an SRO and parents as well. Uh should have some frequent team meetings with the SRO and the building principles just to keep up to speed on building needs. uh being
006a supportive role for principles, leaving student discipline for students, but uh the SRO would be a supportive role as far as legal types of things that they may have to address. Um and just assisting with safety and security types of things for the uh principles and the staff. Um we discussed general costs uh to the city and to the school uh for salary, for benefits, for training of the person. It's about a week long training uh to get started and then what the schedules might look like. Uh we just just just decid decided that we would move forward with more discussions. Um we need to uh present to the city at their council meeting in September, early September. Um get their approval. Um pretty sure it would go through there. Uh and then we would
007um before that though I think we would have some kind of agreement tenative agreement put together and then I would bring it back to this group and board and then city council too. Uh he he he doesn't have any anybody yet. He has some potential possibilities how long it could be. It could be a month from getting approval from the city to up to six months depending on he's looking for somebody with experience. Um doesn't want a rookie coming in and doing that. But um I think with my background with S SRO and discussions with them, I think we could we can work something out pretty well. And I we have to get the principles involved with how how that would look in their buildings as well. Um, any questions about that? >> We know
008the cost. >> Um, he has a he has a projected amount of a possible he he thinks around 75,000 uh total. And with that, we'd have to come up with some kind of what's the city covering? What are we going to cover? Um, it would be a little bit more that first year because of the trading piece. I don't know what that cost is. It's a week long, but that's about I mean if we wanted I was thinking about half and half. So it's about the ballpark I was thinking. Anything else on that one? >> Uh okay. Workshop schedule. We have the couple days next week with teachers and then we have full the full week following. Um the reunification training is at our I would call it training I guess at Fort Ripley is
009next Tuesday in the morning. Um and then uh the back to school uh welcome back is August 25th. I would ask anybody that's interested on the board to right away in the morning on the agenda is to welcome welcome staff back if you're interested in being there. Then uh we'll let you know what time and yeah, I'll do that again. Okay. But I'll get you the time. uh everybody and then if you're interested just let me know. Okay. Uh and then uh for me this Wednesday I'll have my first uh cabinet meeting with the supervisors. I'm looking forward to that and kind of hearing uh kind of getting a status of the district from each person and um kind of set the tone for the year. So anything else from the board to me? Any
010questions? All right. Thank you. Uh, business manager. How do you >> Good evening, Chair Hoffstead Bong and members of the board. Superintendent Larard. Uh this is the uh board update for the June 2025 preliminary uh fiscal year update. Enrollment, we haven't had any changes since school hasn't started yet, but uh we budgeted 918 students. We ended the year kindergarten through 12th grade at 925. uh MDE is finalizing the school year's ADM with the most recent Mars update and so that will be forthcoming and next month we will start to track next school year's ADM. Uh the next slide is the slide you see every month and then this is the general fund preliminary uh update for revenue June of 2025. Overall as a percentage of the budget we're sitting at 94.1% uh which is reasonable.
011In fact, it's ahead of where we would expect to be. uh local revenues exceeded the current budget due to an increase in donations and then an additional uh payment from Midstate of $103,879 which is an allocation uh from their unassigned fund balance. Expenses are also looking to be under budget as an overall percentage of the budget at 98.4%. Although we do have year-end allocations and adjustments to be made, uh we would expect that this would be around 100% preliminary. So under budget in the general fund for expenses, the details of that is salaries and wages in total is about $27,000 under budget. Uh again, this is all preliminary depending on what adjustments might need to be made. Benefits were under budget by $168,000. That was due to district health insurance premiums. We set a budget
012not knowing what the renewal would be for our health insurance uh and uh how many staff would elect our health insurance and so that came in considerably under budget. Purchase services were under budget about 93,000 we uh came in under budget under in PSO and then also our mid-state uh special education services. Supplies were just under budget by $7,000. Capital slightly overbudget. The reason being is uh the large sprinkle band and music donation that came in during the fiscal year. Uh they are spending some of those proceeds. And then all the other category is on track and it is uh impacted by our year end chargebacks regarding the food service fund and so that will be completed here uh in the coming weeks. I also added the other funds since this is year end fiscal
013year 25 for June. Uh food service, community education and debt service. All the funds were slightly under budget as a percentage of revenue as compared um to the year end. Uh year-end receivables and adjustments have not been processed yet and that would be the reason for the budget showing under at this time. And then expense uh same funds all again slightly under budget. Uh and again we'll be reviewing and allocating andor making adjustments per uh the audit that's coming up here in September. Speaking of audit, I am beginning to compile all of the data and I wanted to just share with you what that audit process looks like. uh we end the fiscal year obviously in June and then between the months of June and November. I am working to uh complete all of this
014the steps required and this is just a high level uh what that might look like uh over the next couple of months. So I review all the funds and the revenue and and review them based on the budget and any variances uh and then need to determine what variances there are and mitigate the reasons why. I review all of the funds for proper EUARS coding which is the MDE required coding per fund and per types of expenses and revenues. I process in a yearend adjustments and reclassifications which I'm working on now. We have to process our state aid and federal receivables given the fact that the state meters our funds throughout the year. And so they pay us 90% of the projected aid and then the the subsequent 10% is paid over the next fiscal
015year. So I need to account for that revenue. We have to reconcile levy across all of the funds which is our local taxpayer revenue. We have to have a preliminary close to MDE by September 15th of every year. So, I want to make sure that I'm getting all of the steps above as tied up as I can prior to that preliminary close. And then once we have a close, I will then go through all those steps again to make sure I haven't missed anything or that anything doesn't um seem to be reconciled as it should be. Uh, and then all of the work to compile the actual data for the year- end audit starts and we will have our audit the week of September 8th. So then the auditors will come in and they'll request
016all of the documentation and support documentation that I used to compile all of the information in the steps above. They'll test all of our internal controls, our processes, and our procedures. Uh and then we should hopefully wrap up the audit uh sometime in November or December where our audit firm will come and present to the board. Sounds fun, right? >> I do enjoy it. Any questions? >> I'm glad that you do. >> All right. Thanks. >> Thank you. >> All right. uh community education board conference. >> Well, good evening board co-chairs home in Hoffstead, members of the board, Superintendent Lafar. My name is Jennifer Noble, community education director. I'm very excited to be part of the Royaltton public schools team. My passion for public education started over 20 years ago initially as a parent volunteer
017and just continued to grow through the years as my children went through school. My love for lifelong learning continued to grow and I joined the St. school district uh with the community education early childhood team. So there over 10 years ago and I'm just so grateful to uh be new here at Royalton and I appreciate all of the support that I've gotten from the administrative team and all of the educators uh and members of the staff that are here. So I wanted to do a big thank you for the welcome I've gotten here at Royalton. Well, we've been busy at the ECC planning for fall. Currently, we have 62 preschool enrollments and look forward to meeting families at the September 3rd parent teacher conferences. The preschool educator team just participated in the new Great River
018Children's Museum educator day in St. Cloud. It was a wonderful learning experience for all of us. Early childhood screening is coming up October 15th and then we will have another session in January for screening. The fall ECF class scheduled is listed in the Royaltton review that just hit the mailboxes with sessions running Tuesday and Wednesday evenings along with Wednesday mornings. The educator team has also started planning space for a little royal reading corner uh right here in the ECC. You may have noticed that uh getting started. We're inviting families with young children to join us at Big Truck Night co-hosted by Early Childhood and Community Education at the Middle School High School West parking lot. This free community engagement event will be held uh this coming Monday evening, August 18th, from 5:30 to 7 pm
019and will feature vehicles from Royalton Fire Department, Camp Ripley, a school bus is coming this year and other vehicle from area businesses and organizations that students can learn about and explore hands-on. Child-friendly activities such as face painting by the Royaltton volleyball team will also be provided. And we also wanted to thank our uh Little Falls Walmart for their generous donation uh in sponsoring this event. So, moving on to summer uh well, summer adult enrichment classes had 17 enrollments and the fitness center has been very busy each day with 63 family memberships and over a 100 individual memberships. It's a busy place each day. It is an excellent way for members of our community to stay active, have fun by participating in the fitness program right here in our schools. Another way to stay fit this
020fall is through the hall walking program for our community. The middle and high school hallways will be open for walking before and after school from 7 to 8:00 a.m. and again from 3:30 to 10:30 p.m. Monday through Friday on student days. This program is free with registration via AUX, our online class registration system. We've had a lot of fun this summer with students participating in youth sports and enrichment with over 300 enrollments. Kids have been able to participate in a wide variety of classes, games, and scrimmages. We'll be working with our instructors for fall, winter, spring, and summer of 2026 class offerings already. So, if you know of anyone wanting to share their expertise or passion with our schools and community, please have them connect with me to fill out an instructor application. Fall online
021registration is now open via ax as well. So, our summer math participants have also been very busy. From birdhouses and bowling to art and reading, the fun and learning has not stopped. On average, 30 to 40 students daily have participated in the summer map program. We've also engaged with our community by featuring a mapped staff float at the Pot River Days parade and have learned so much through our visits to the library, including getting to meet River, their traveling therapy dog. We'd also like to give a shout out to the dedicated MAP staff who lead learning and enrichment activities at MAP. They coordinate meal times and chaperone fun field trips each week. Many are also Royaltton High School graduates. Online registration for the new school year is now open in Aros for MAP. And one
022final note, our next community education advisory council meeting is being held September 15th in the captorium. So we would always welcome our community members to join us for that meeting. Thank you for your time this evening and are there any questions that I can answer? >> I have a quick question about one of the things you mentioned. Um you you mentioned the school walking program before and after schools. Is that something that you're that's new here or is that all? >> We have been running that. Okay. We're continuing that program due to its popularity. Okay. And it is free. Thank you. All right. All right. Thank you. >> Thank you, Jennifer. >> Um, next on the consent agenda. So, uh, the board is consenting to approve the items listed below, uh, as presented at one
023time. Any director can pull an item off the consent agenda for further discussion. So, we have the approval of the regular board meeting minutes, approval of the special meeting minutes, claims and counts, accounts and financials, uh the approval of personnel changes, and the approval of the fuel bid, and then lastly, the uh football fundraiser, same as in years past. There anything anybody would like to pull? All right. Would somebody like to make a motion to approve the consent agenda? So move. Director Hackett. Thank you. >> And I'll second. >> Director Home. Thank you. Any discussion? All in favor say I. >> I. >> Oppos. >> All right. Motion carries. Mr. Chair. >> Yes. Order. >> Yes. Do we have a principal's report today? >> Sorry. Okay. Why don't we go to the principal? Thanks, Randy.
024>> Quiet there. >> I seen the 20 slide back across the table. >> Off at home, members of the board, superintendent the pard, Joel Swenson, middle school high school principal. I just have a quick uh update here. In the next few weeks, uh we will have teachers in the building on uh Tuesday and Wednesday next week for two inservice days. We will be going to Camp Ripley for reunification. Um an in introduction orientation to the reunification at Camp Ripley. Uh K12 will be meeting for vertical alignment in the afternoon on Tuesday. Uh on Wednesday uh we have a school links training at the high school and I believe the elementary is working with their uh readact with the letters training. Um and then we'll be setting doing some goal setting and PLC goal setting and
025building and individual goal setting with teachers in the afternoon. The following week, uh, we kind of have it arranged with the district activities in the morning on Monday, building level activities on in the morning on Tuesday, and the rest of that time is with meetings and workshop time for teachers preparing for open house. Our open houses are on Wednesday, August 27th, 5:30 to 7:30. Um, and we welcome especially our incoming sixth graders and new students to the district. If you're a junior in high school or a senior in high school, open house is probably not necessary to attend if you don't want to since you kind of know where you're going and know what you're supposed to do. But uh we definitely welcome anybody who wants to come in and welcome reconnect with teachers, staff,
026um their classmates, pick up their schedules, um get into their lockers, puts put things away so they're organized for the first day. Uh and then we have uh the first day of school on Tuesday after after Memorial after Labor Day. And uh that will be uh grades 6 through 8 at the high school middle school start on the on the Tuesday and then the high school 9 through 12 starts on Wednesday. So that's kind of an update of what we have going on. It's going to be a whirlwind. It is amazing how fast this building goes from empty, quiet, and dark to absolutely a hornet's nest in a matter of hours. Um, and it's always exciting. It is in June, it's always nice to and then by by this time in August, it is exciting
027to have to see kids back in the building and see them moving around and hearing the gyms in action and hearing kids voices in the hallway. this building was built and it's meant to be occupied by kids and so we're definitely excited for them to come back. Any questions? >> All right. Thanks, >> Chairs. H at home, members of the board, Superintendent Leard, Tony Newman, elementary principal. Um echoing kind of what uh what Joel had talked about is we're we're ready to go. Um this is my second week back. Um and there's a there's a lot of people in the building. Teachers are getting ready. They're getting their classrooms ready. They're pulling curriculum from the from the media center ready. Uh we're getting things um organized. Um my my welcome back letter is going to
028go out on Wednesday and at 9:00 in the morning and that's where teacher assignment is going to go out. So I'm sure people going to be refreshing much as they can to get in the app and to schedule their 15-minute time slot on the open house. So, open house runs just like it has in the past. 15-minute time slot to meet with your teacher, get familiar with the building, stay as long as you want. Um, so our open house is that Wednesday the 27th from noon to 5:30 and then 6:00 to 7:45 is is when we're when we're done. And then September 2nd, 8 to 4. So, uh, busy time. We're ready to go. Um we do have handle with care training for um pair professionals special ed on Monday here in a captorium that's
029an all day training deescalation in the morning for three hours and then the hold part is in the afternoon um not that everybody needs to work on the holds but that deescalation is is uh is really important to help help kids navigate through those rough patches. So so that's coming up on Monday. Um uh the building is is ready to go. Uh, you know, we've got a truckload of mulch came um came today and uh as me and Tony Duval are talking about uh getting the kids from Matt Pitchforks and shovels to help spread it out. Um they that they they made a mention that mulch is out there, but we're not going to play on it, you know. So, but they're ready to go. Um you know, I'm sure Tony Devel at some point
030will do an update of of his facilities, but um we're about 98% done with our LED project. Um, and the savings is just astronomical from what we've what we've saved in energy costs from switching to LED lighting. Um, so they're pretty much done with that. They've added exit signs. They've added um some some dark areas. Power goes out. First grade bathrooms, zero power. Now, what do you do? Right? We don't want flash. We don't want cell phone cameras. Putting flashlights up. Now, we have um at least some of those those emergency lights that last about 45 minutes in our bathrooms, in our hallways, in the dark areas, making sure that we can navigate through and and be um be efficient with that. So, but yeah, uh the building looks good. Um we're ready to have
031kids back and uh and get going. So, any questions? Okay. All right. Thanks, Tony. All right, regarding building consent agenda. So we'll go down to the discussion on the conf. Um so in July we had two days um two full days with five or six staff members um that went through and built uh the code of conduct. We went through every single line um of the models that we had and discussed how it would fit our school and our building. um modeled after Sock Rapids Sartell which was based on S St. Cloud which was based on a school in the cities. Um and so no one really reinvents the wheel. Um but it is a resource that uh we will be able to lean on and and use and educate people with uh for years
032to come. It's a living document. It's not something that, hey, we finished it in July and now we're never going to look at it again. It's something that we use. It's something that is updatable with the handbook each year. Um, if we come across something that we need to change or alter, um, that would be the process. We go through the process at the same time, uh, that we are updating the handbooks each year. So, uh, it really went well. A lot of discussion. We spent a lot of time. The big ones are easy. It's the little ones. It's the little daily things that spend we spent a lot of time on a lot of discussion how to make it work. what they wanted to see, what the realities are from the administrative side, how
033to work those together and uh develop some strategies that would work both inside the classroom to minimize those things as quickly as possible uh without them getting to a level where we had to uh had to assign consequences. At the same time it laid out when when those things are encountered uh it it laid out the pathway uh to follow and and the options that we have to handle those discipline issues. So very good process. It's 24 pages long. >> 24. Yeah. >> And we did add a couple like we added our cell our own cell phone. Our own cell phone was added into the code of conduct. That was not something that we modeled after um another school. We added that because it's specific to us. Um um otherwise almost all the rest of
034it was modeled and and there were lot there were things that we did differently. Um the when I say with it's modeled after the format of the document almost all of the language in it changed um to reflect what happens in our school and the resources and things that we have available to us. If we end up having an SRO next year, we'd have to go through this whole document again and add that resource in as where do we plug that person into the discipline process in the building. Um or the educational part or the response part to any of the things that we're dealing with that might be um that the resource officer would be a resource to the school for. So those are just examples of updates that um would likely happen on
035an annual basis. >> So teachers will have access to this like we'll have a copy of this so when they're in their class dealing with the scenario they can do a quick >> refer. >> Yep. >> It's linked in the student handbook >> hyperlink. So anytime that I mention a code I think I got everyone. I was I was first learning how to do the hyperlink thing which was enough and then I was but everywhere where that the that the code of conduct is mentioned in the student handbook is hyperl directly to this document. So if you're going through the student handbook and you're online saying hey what is that rule check the code of conduct they click the code of conduct and it comes up. This will also be uh emailed out to families
036as part of a I'm not going to make it a part of my parent newslet weekly parent newsletter. It'll be a different email before school starts. Just a here is the code of conduct. Here's the process we went through. Please review this with yourself and your kids. Keep it for future reference. But this is what we are operating from and what our expectations are for student behavior. And uh uh that will be mailed. This specifically this document will be mailed out to families. All right. Any questions for Joel on this? >> Be on the website too. >> Yes. >> Spray. Yep. I'm glad you guys did this work. I guess it'll be extremely helpful. >> Yeah, it was like I said, it was a even if the the product is the product, the the more
037important piece for me was dialogue and the that went into it. there was a lot of insight from my end to be gained from um from the teacher side and and and vice versa. They're seeing a lot. Well, what comes to the office? What's the kid who's been disrupting you 15 times? I have not had a conversation with them. I am not there to experience it with you. So, if you don't communicate with me exactly what you have done previous to them coming to see me, I'm operating like this is the first time that they've had this. So there are some just some of those things of how can we clear each other's roads a little bit of obstacles as we're dealing with these things and and get these kids on the right track and
038back in class and back to being productive learners in the classroom. So which is the ultimate goal every day. So but I really like the process. I like the dialogue and the questions and the conversations and uh we spent I thought I didn't know what it was going to take. We went 8 to noon on one day and then we went 8 to about two another day and that's five or six of us all around the table. Um like I said the big ones are easy. Arson is easy. It's going to you're going to call law enforcement and that's but the minor ones are the ones that we spend time out of a lot of time on. So, >> right. >> Thank you. >> Uh, next is uh approval of the 2526 handler. >> Somebody
039want to make that motion? >> I'll make motion. >> Director home. Thank you. >> Second. >> Director Tro. Thank you. Uh any discussion on the student handbook? All right. All in favor say I. >> I post. >> All right. Carries. Uh next is uh looking for approval of student resource officer. So the one thing I will say is this was not in the agenda in the record. This was not not added to it for the one that was submitted there. So like I know the way the votes going to go and everything. and just that was one of the things that I really wanted was for everybody to be able to to see it and if they wanted to say something they had an opportunity to. Um, so that was my two cents, I guess.
040>> But it was posted at the this was posted at the at the school, right? This sheet here. >> I It was, but I don't know if it was the one that was updated or if it was the one before we had SRO2. Okay. >> I I honestly don't. And that doesn't mean we can't vote on it and do whatever. I just want to bring that up. And this is just approval to move forward with it. Correct. So people would still have a chance to come in and voice their opinion against it if they were. >> If we approve this, we're saying that we're going to do it and spend the money. So any >> regardless of the amount of money, we could always vote that down though. Right. >> Correct. We could >> I'll
041make a motion to approve this. >> Okay. Director H. I'll second it. Director Boy. Any other discussion? All in favor say I. I. >> I. Opposed. >> All right. Motion carries. Uh, approval of Minnesota Rural Education Association membership for MEA. Uh, would somebody like to make that motion? >> I'll make a motion. >> Director Holm. A second. Director Hackett. Thank you. Any discussion on that? >> Can anybody share any of the benefits that we glean from being a part of this association? Like what is it specifically doing to help our district? Anybody know? Uh so from everything that Christine said uh previous to this on this is there are one of our legislative arms um and they take rural things like how much we get per pupil versus how much Minneapolis gets per pupil and
042that's what they try to get the legislature to fix right >> is to make that so a small town that's landlocked by water tracks and can't really grow too much more know how do we increase taxes so we can get you know or increase people here so we can or businesses or whatever. So some of those they're that's what they do is basically our legislative liaison to help us in the rural districts. >> That's their main function. >> Yep. That's pretty much their only function. >> Oh, I see. >> Cuz what was the other one we were with before the C? Right. and they didn't they weren't as they didn't look out for the rural areas as much as the other ones. So, >> see was more of a group of bedroom communities more than
043a group of rural communities. That's what I would that's what I would say. >> Okay. >> You know, which we are, but we're probably more rural than we are. >> Mhm. How much should we pay them do that? >> 19 week. >> Y >> they also provide a lot of templates for levy documentation, other types of budget templates, a lot of the tools and resources that they offer to the finance part of passen professional development opportunities too for any other discussion. All right. Uh all in favor say I. I. I. Opposed. Motion carries. Um so next is approval of donations by resolution. Um does somebody want to introduce the donations resolution >> again? >> True. Thank you. All right. So uh I don't have to read the first two. So whereas every such accepted shall
044be by resolution of the governing body adopted by a twothirds majority of its members expressing such item terms in full. So be a result that the school board of ISD45 Royalton public schools gratefully accepts the following donations as identified below. So the first one is Township of Langola for a donation of $2,500 towards community education and then Walmart uh for $250 gift cards towards the community education big truck. Um so the motion for the adoption of the preceding resolution was seconded by second that and uh can we do a roll call vote? Director Boyd. >> I director. >> Hi. >> Director Andre I. >> Director Hackett. I director Trout. >> Hi. >> Director Hat. >> Hi. >> All right.
