001expenditures our lunch report and our for January so we able to review in our packets this week does anyone have any questions what they saw and Stephanie or do you have any for us anybody okay so we will move on to our Hy presentation hi good evening everyone nice to see you again Parker at the WW Pro so excited to be here as always the highlight of the evening will be the five wonderful scam that we have here presenting and talking to you a little bit about their program and then when we're done we'll have an opportunity to talk to you a little bit about our vision for the future and our future Focus facilities project and what we have up our sleep uh to Envision new expansion and some additional programing for our students
002over the next few years um but I just wanted to start with thanking you for having us here tonight we're here with a few of our administrative team members and a few of our board members always proud and excited to continue to serve you and do the great work that you do in our community so we'll start with your students talking to a little bit about their experi everyone ashown executive director for technology and business operations over in our school Support Services divis I know of over the years coming up here professional development days I had the privilege last Last Friday me stand wi and and if we could just have here let's just go ahead andu your the name Curr [Music] I'm in 11 okay so we got some questions for the students starting
003with why did you choose to go get started um [Music] of [Music] from [Music] I chose the program because my brother he went through equipment and he would always talk about how good the program was and how much fun he had there and I just wanted to get more exp let's start time talk I know you're Wai for the ground every single day get what is it tell us us the program is a lot of handson activities in the shop just doing any like any diesel repair and operating equipment and anything you can really think of that's based on heavy equipment yeah so the first year [Music] so um you really start [Music] off so with it [Music] and what we know is also that we have some really high demand field uh you heard
004about heavy equipment welding continues to be one of our highest demand Fields recently we just started an HB program up at our St Center for many years that only existed at our minor Center we just started a very popular small animal science program that only exist currently at our minor Center our prology program continues to grow our automotive technology program continues to be one of our highest Ro programs and we currently have weight L for those programs we also took look at where we might like to expand based on human interest based on work development over the next few years civic engineering green energy program Sport Science plumbing and electrical right now we have plumbing and electrical embedded into some of our existing programs but they're really is a need to break those out so
005that students can focus on those and we just don't have space toble that so those are some of the things that we learned from our analysis here you see this is very interesting in our region the growth that we've seen over the years you heard mentioned back to 2015 our increase in enrollment this is the percentage of students attending our C program out of the available 11 and 12th grade students to so what we see is that back in 2015 we had about 17% of all available 11 and programs currently we have just under 22% on a steady trajectory so although what we know that that the number of 11 and 12 graders in our region is deining slowly overall in our region the percentage of students attending our C programs more districts are sending
006more students to C programs because they're to be we just to what we also know is that our responsibility at our is not limited to C we have amazing exceptional Lear now our current facility 264 students and as you may be aware we always have a weakness for students we currently have our ker six program in BL we leave that building BL for our young incep we also have some component classroom St that we use at B Road Elementary School from and we have our high school middle school program our Center and those are very very competitive terms of programs right now we ser4 students we've been looking at being able to expand over the years the key question over the years has been how can we get more students how can we get more
007stud into and so we finally figured out a way to do it with the new facility that will allow us to accommodate up to 328 which is a benefit for our region to be able to accommodate more exceptional learning students into our program so we've designed an exceptional learner facility that would allow us not only to accommodate more students but also to address the challenge of related service providers because right now we have related service providers who are travel so those that I mentioned we have related service providers providing service to see Reas we' designed a facility that would allow both nervous providers to be both to our students travel time and be able to provide service to our SE Learners thereby students incre Capac time while we serve more students so centralized supports for
008oural Learners which we're really excited about so we've designed a single site facility uh right on our right near our current ballot Ro Conference Center in wlon it's a 20 year Le 96 million project over 20 years it was a very cost efficient solution to being able to expand programming and opportunities for our students and for our districts so rather than having our Myer Center our SE Center leasing our blood center leasing our B Ro classroom being able to have all of our students on one site to re building all of our students together allowing St to not only extend our sex classroom but also to create additional programing so we're super excited about that and we'll also be able to expand on efficiencies for transportation for district and efficiencies for our own both as
009well to be able to have all of our programing on one campus rather than around the so the timeline for this project right now we're in the design development phase uh which has been very exciting uh we've been meeting with teachers to design their instructional spaces and to get feedback on the design of the instructional stes and that includes both our CCE teachers and our inal Learners teachers we're in the process of preparing our submission to the State education department one to receive site plan approval which we believe will be next month um we'll continue with our design revisions all in all we are looking to break ground and and open doors to a new facility in september2 when welcome all [Music] of C so we're very excited about it we're really excited about the
010opportunity to have all of our together to have all of our districts together to have all of our students have access to the things programming um so any student would have access any student might have access to an no long students only attend one access so excited about it and so that just our to be able to continue programing and to to students in our so we're really excited about it couldn't have happened without the support of all of our superintendent and without the innovation that happen when we decide to get Beyond know um when we decide to say there's more that we can do for our students and say [Music] actually um it's not necessarily a question it's just a comment um I was actually breakfast saw this as well um it's very exciting
011I went down to the so around my Nursing degree and I think it's awesome that the kids now you guys have fla culture and Myers where they don't have it and I remember that being there and the opportunity of the extra classes that these kids are going to be able to get is going to be phenomenal for the pi up here I think it is it's a fantastic move I'm very excited also but just spend so much timeing our [Music] support understand [Music] making question but just a comment one of the other possibilities of um with the cling of the two sites that we have right now correct I know there's a lot of unknowns around that but there is some so Our intention thank you for that um and um um Our intention is
012to sell our current sit that we own so we own the sex Center and the my [Music] you the same 27 28 months of going ask what you were going to do what you were going to do with current and [Music] MERS that yes two board members unless someone else in we have our we [Music] also questions I'm sorry you had talked about the cost of the new building I don't know if you did mention the cost that could happen if we had decided to stay old facility we were looking at about to bring the old build up to the ability house theost to you know renovation what we I believe it was so it would this was a new Brer for us when we looked at the results of our building survey and the
013cost for both facilities between thank you thank [Music] you tri thank you we have Scott here to um present our audit thank you very much for having tonight I like following when you see like the educational program because that's actually more interesting mind but at least you know your funds that's what you're using to have all these programs for these children it's great to see that that's you know I get to see what it's being used for so it's always good for me to kind of see it afterwards um so what I did I got summarized the 70 something Pages took all the most important Pages out of the suming the recomendations we have to and um the finan no signific deficiencies in no area of compliance uh your classroom was on B and just
014looking at where you where you ended up here you see the last the do as you can see the overall assets up liabilities SL down 3.6 million your liability ratio 6.51 so you see everything's kind of going up your reserves we've had the same reserves for the last so many years um but that's you have them there when you still have theice start using them sometime fure there's a lot of uncertainty out there right now um like we kind we're looking like when I spoke to the school fall a little bit different but now hearing what's going on what's going education andu like that looking at kind distri now it's like kind of planning ahead of what's going to happen you know we don't know have to pick up different things we looking at where
015you are you like you have six reserves which are all very useful and we like to see that like especially use going forward maybe thatd a lot of our districts now starting use the reserves part of their budgeting you know you have you come back at the end at year that's like you said you like to see that balance and you're able to put more towards taxes um like in the past you still have you're 4% of your so you're slightly over 4% so this year was even you're over 4% like 4.1 4.0 so you're slightly over but you're at the you know the% which is you know for a small District it isn't really that much you always talk about um special like that qu District district so that like and the district was
016smaller than yours so that's balance you know right up we that's like to see that keep that looking how you ended up there you had more revenues and expenditures um which is which last year you had a little bit less this year 15,000 the biggest one which probably this year be a little bit different looking at your revenues compared to your budget you end up almost 100,000 you end up get more budget the biggest was like money and property so you're taking the money that you do have or probably you're making most Investments I have one I was like you just Lu your checking over here you earn you know you earn over the budg was was only a couple thousand here you went beyond you found Investments that we G 5% and get the
017most the money way was was slightly lower than what that's not hard you're doing your budget now and they still they don't have like here's our actual number they're doing their budget still kind of going through and end up you know then there's adjustment after doing your a will be adjusted in [Music] on cost cost can adjust that in the summertime find out later on on the side able toage of that a lot of benefits and health insurance which is good jump into now you're catching up and going forward is going increases so all that you had the year before there looking at a couple other items on school launch program still had a loss was better than the year before had L $1,000 compared to year before was 26,000 you probably will have toog
018always budged it's getting closer but that's the change right now is State reimbursement higher level that go year year wait you have to wait and see what the state decides to do like I said it did come down your revenues over all5 so based on that make on the and it's hard a lot of District TOs and we have five that not they're usually on the larger side have more mosts go anywhere from 25,000 a lot of cover benefits really hard Alternatives out there because we have school that try to go to contract and then where located the quality isn't always to we have school that dumped in and then they're like this is what we want end coming back in school South that they were track there was a lot of a lot of
019problems so looking at you know what the cost are for the program a lot of them do and then looking at B bigger thing fund this year you actually SP up your one ended September last SE this past September the other one end a project which is do that you did something not like a little bit you know that you wouldn't had to come out of your budget or do project that um those grants are over now and now you're back down to um you know your title is 98 which even those I don't know for good for now coming after that so they were you know very useful these um the overall Grant had 1.3 million most of another POS we have over ,000 in Deb servers that in the future um in the
020in the packet I also included some recommendations um the St they had to do a lot of work that was necessary to get everything done had R was um you know it was done not done and they had to r a lot of stuff so um a lot of time you look at a lot of every day stuff and you have a whole transition of pull you off business office again which is which is very hard um to do and I have several schools have gone through it it's such a hard um to go through there's no right time to do it but it's very hard to come in try that was a couple rec see some of the things came off last year some like you know business manual we have a whole new
021stack so now they here's what we do going forward you know you talk about computer system software so that there too but this way you have something new employes in there so they go design here's how we do it now forward the reserve plan some of these things were started not for going through help get getting everything done completed so now forward so it's to have never know you know someone out for a while we saw that out and they knew exactly here we say that a lot they don't have it all updated or anything like how to do how to do things and it makes it much harder on also included class so there was there was still some comments on that one and that's another thing that they're working on that that ising
022actually get done work on getting those done the sales tax number and then some of are like seats is common through District so it's like we have just our district is we go through we have lot this you know you have like and different people doing it and this is like all of them so we have almost everybody doing it right there could be a couple that time protect them make sure and and almost all of our school acity funds have that that's the biggest thing now just really don't feel attached unities even that is changing we have schools that are moving forward to you know not school school they have different ones fans and stuff like that where they lot their fundraising online their drama tickets online they have doing so now you're getting
023into the next pH but then that comes setting up policies procedures with that it is easier to play CL third should have an idea of where the mone's go they have a WR [Music] and so you know that's one way to put it here usually happens you don't know everything out till June what money is left and then they have what remaining go here you District schar that is I put I put summ the report in club I know we have a class of 18 to 24 in should they be remov certain deadline [Music] yeah you get say they would that you want us city council have schools have so that's like case of you know recation to the board you know that once they're not useful any they kind of wait see sometime you

025compe these kids are multiactivity most of them play the fall winter and now Spring sport as well being involved in the play or other sport activities in doing so had 14 students achieve academic status last we once again a huge thank you to the board talk us program to be ched students it's incredbly rewarding experience to a part of and I can't wait to see what [Music] the it was a lot ofun really MaDee Improvement I we had multiple students who 30 4 Points in their scores from last year so to get a little harder because theam in theam or so status of making you know number one hard to a than it hadly if you look at they had last one and we have Elementary KS so like it's a huge GR in the
026program overall kids really did enjoy it um I besto commitment the long seon sport they have so they theyve been strong the I want thank you and Brian because this year one of the new parts of the program was tournament shoot prior to the state tournament and I know you guys took a lot on extra as far as creating a tournament here um and then after that you offer to go to other tournament that opened up do for and thank you that was a new part of program for everyone fantastic job thank you now we have okay I'm going to start off the um budget presentation to the board um just so you know this is your presentation um then we will have the um Community presentation later in May I'm going to do the
027budget part and C is going to J at the end R part um the first slide just shows you also the committee um that put this together and um I want to thank them for the time and they did for that uh this is just a quick slide to say what you're going to be seeing in the next few minutes so if you're familiar with this one this is actually showing how our budget is broke down into the different cost centers um this year the budget is at 13,219 898 and then as you go around that larger Circle you see how that's broken out into the different areas those areas are then split up into the three main categories that the state mandates that all School budgets are put together in what you're going to
028see now quickly is those circles that you just saw before it's going to show you a comparison from year to year many of the um budgets or the year toe comparisons you're going to see they go up a little and the reason they're going up is they go up a little it's just I'm going to say inflation and that normal cost um from one year to the other there are areas and the first one that I see here central Administration um that there is going to be a um what's that okay is yeah um and one of the reasons that you're seeing that yeah it's not lined up for there there is a decrease there and the reason you see a decrease there is it's anticipated that your superintendent is going to be retiring and
029so that um there would be a change in the next person coming Finance the same thing um going here um you see a decrease in that and what you're good the reason for that is because this year we have included Kathy and Mary Alexander as I'm say trainers and working they weren't just training but they were getting us through the process um and now that they train to people Stephanie and Amanda um we feel that they're going to fly a little bit more on their own so that cost overall coming down that doesn't mean that I still feel like we need a full year of someone to ask questions someone to help us out with certain things um but there will be a um again many of these you're just that small increase um [Music]
030okay so the one I wanted to point out was C Administration um there is also a decrease in that um it's going from the 2009 to 1 209,000 to the 196,000 and [Music] okay those are those are normal so we can go to the next okay instructional Administration that's the one I want to talk about again the difference in these two is the retirement um as I re employee benefit um we've talked right along throughout the year health insurance has been a huge increase to the district um I don't know if you picked up what um our auditor was saying um but what he was talking about then we switched over to the um I'm sorry from the PO to the H when most of our employes over we saw a huge decrease in the
031cost of our health insurance for that year in future years it's not that you're going to continue to see as decrease it's going to stay flat but what You' got to remember is you're not ping that increase so that's kind of a hard concept to understand you're not going to continue to see health insurance go down but we're not see what we would have if everyone stay on does that make sense so now what we're also see is the increase of that and you're see places okay teaching of regular school again you're going to be seeing a decrease in this area um this is we had two teachers that have retired and when you really see a this we are not so that actually so make you understand there is increase in Sal but that
032was more than offset by the two that we special programs um again just a slight increase um teachers in special schools not increase constructional media there was a slight increase um people um Personnel Services again a slight increase inil health insurance increases Transportation you do see an increase in transportation the numbers are kind of offline again um but what this is is last year the amount that came in at was the overtime um wasn't what we had in the budget so we needed to make that budget line moreis so we brought that up to community service they saying basically the same employee benefits this is the second place that you're going to see that same Health conversation there are others but the health insurance Central Services um this was again an area for overtime and
033we made a more realis that's the budget portion of the um presentation so questions about that portion all you really just saw was next year's budget The Proposal is that that we increase what is normal increase from one year to another the are where you s large changes was whether our reement anticipated and in I'm not saying there AR that this is a budget compar for the last six years and these are actual figures and it shows where the budget has been kept in line um some variance if you will never exceeding the tax plan but an average six-year increase of 2.89% state aid went up a little bit this year a little bit more than last year and like Scott presser said um a lot of these categories are finalized in August so this
034is the information that we have this point and the visit increase anticipated of $61,000 over last year this is the tax levy comparison um again staying very stable never exceeded the tax cap yes it's the 2% tax cap that's how was referred to but there's many factors that go into it and therefore the actual increase can vary as you can see that that the current year we went now is just over 4% um and the year for that was 3.9 however we again stayed within that t step Revenue summary again has broken out into three sections remaining very stable um State a slight increase overall that state a right there shows a reduction because of upk but overall it's an increase the tax levy again staying within the tax cap miscellaneous Revenue the main there
035are turn back and um Revenue such as the retiree uh subsidy we get from the government for retirees staying on our health insurance and the government pays us to uh have that happen so all in all that's how the budget was balanced with with those three main categories and this will be the ballot that everyone will see we ask for approval um it's just that one item be voted out plus the there's two four them up for election you'll see that as well but the petitions aren't do yet um but this will be the actual vote on the budget approval [Music] anticipated um for the board to vote on that budget would be the next board meeting if the board did feel that they had enough information that is one of the other I will
036thec accept to this um [Music] okay I would propose that we wait until we take what we have digested ask questions and V on a yeah so if we can add um L mo42 AIT okay so that that is all of our presentations so next we have visit our comments um so we as a board have heard um some feedback from our community saying that they that there's a thought that you're not heard or listen to and so we were thinking in order to um make that think a little more that we would put you um put any kind of lnter comments before our items for discussion and or action um and I have four people that are signed up is there anybody who would like to speak that um is not signed up okay
037so there are four of you um our usual um recommendation is three [Music] minutes how what if we move that to five we five can you kind of keep us that'll keep us on track keep us there but there's not a huge amount of people so we can move it to five if we have more to say okay so first I have Brian [Music] Ming on I just I don't I think it's fair that the young kids lose their time of their coaches and their practic school I understand I was John N treated across theard and then all of a sudden the clarification why that [Music] happened so I think that um there's several of you on this topic and um I it has become apparent over the last several years that there are some
038concerns about the way the fields are the way the transportation is and so we came to an agreement as a board and with the nervous board and modified our um agreement that we would do it as necessary as benefits our teams and the our fields are better in better shape I know Mana is working on their fields but it was the consensus that we needed to have the bar on our um on our so then what you're saying is theer fields are subar the field so this is where the needs to and mod team play that was our decision you're [Music] going and I think it's a sport by sport decision um yeah so I all about my emails um I think I was pretty clear on where I stand uh I think it's really
039kind of um disturbing to me to think that you are implying that your modified players do not deserve the same that I think that as a board there are several of you with players there are I know maybe one of you with a modified player not sure if any of you um thought that through when you made this decision because it actually become a reasonable question of impartiality you should have reeved yourself from any decision like that because it looks very much to the public that you put your own child above of the rest of the student it is disgusting to me that you're at this point I think you have missed a big picture I think you are robbing some of these kids of the people in the court system that would have come
040to this field to watch them play that will now not be able to watch their children grandchildren I think the fact that my child is going to travel to a field with a porta hob as her only bathroom option and she was 13 years old and I give you all any of you that have been to that field building that field out of the way for the best there is nowhere for them to go in case of emergency I don't believe that you intend or have ever sit there with them with the driver available to them in the of emergency my drive goes from 7 miles to this scho to 17 miles one way to that I have always provided transportation for my child it was my choice it was a choice that I felt
041was best for her and this decision would likely brought me of that and I you really need to rethink what you are doing to your [Music] I just I'm I sof [Music] um again I know we're trying to stick five minutes I will try to do as Qui as I can I prepare the statement so I can try to stay I go over the past several weeks I've reached out to the school board and ACS Administration to express my interest in remaining involved with the varsity baseball program in some capacity really in any capacity as you all know I'm Rec I'm the recreation director for the town of Johnsburg I've spent my entire adult life supporting Sports and recreational opportunities in our community since Johns a sports mer began I coach as much or more
042than anyone else for our Athletic program and I've given a great deal of time and effort helping our student athletes be their best on and off the field to be clear I'm aware the members of the board have had concerns about my coaching style and those concerns have played a key part in me being asked to take some time away from coaching for the district I respect that assessment and only mistakes that I've made P which is why I've taken a step back over the last months I would like to reiterate that I am not seeking to be a coach now my reason for wanting to come for you today is so that you can look in my eyes and see the sincerity with which I say I just want to be involved I have
043coached most of the players on this varsity baseball team which includes my oldest son and two of my nephews at some level since they were three and four years old playing in the down keall program on the top of that Hill I have watched them learn grow and reach a point where they are now competing at the highest level and to be able to continue to shareing their experience as high school bars athletes would be pricel however this request to stay involved is about more than just baseball it is very very person because of what being involved with this team means to me and to my son R who is a JCS Jun and I'm the RC team for the third year [Music] Rowan Rowan is also my best friend and sports is the strongest
044part of the parent child bond that we share to be able to be in The Dugout with him to share in the highs and lows of the Season or to stand on the field with him Co or at East field when the teams play there this spring the value of those experiences are beyond measure and cannot be felt for the same extent by a parent spect worst of all if missed these experiences are never able to be duplicated for just about every one of you on the board you either had a child graduate from high school or have children that will be graduating over the next few years I'm sure you can put yourself in my Tru time does not stop my time is shared certain experiences with my son is running out to ask
045me to Simply take a year off is not easy because that lost time and those lost experiences cannot be replaced my my specific request and one that I hope that you will consider tonight is to let me serve as a scorekeeper or pitch G for the team this year this would not make me a coach but I would serve as support staff for the head coach and the team I would get to be in The Dugout with the team on game day I would be able to lend my many years of experience and knowledge as a player coach and umpire to help the team be successful and as you may be aware keeping an accurate scorebook an accurate pitch count according to the season is incredibly important not something that the head coach typically has
046time for again I just want to be involved I understand that this school board can easily deny my request choose to uphold my banishment from the sports program but I'm begging you to please consider that this is about far more than just baseball to deny my request to stay invol with the team this spring would be upholding what I believe to be an unfair double standard for some coaches and parents it would be supporting the notion that someone who makes a mistake is not worthy of being given a second chance until they have truly suffered and lost something that can never be regained and I feel it would be a cruel and very personal punishment for me Simply Having a coaching style that some members of the board or Administration disagreed with to the very
047late addition to today's agenda regarding storekeepers i' like to speak that real quick I don't believe that the board is getting all of the information for completely truthful information first of all I have a really hard time believing that my sister Mary or my sister-in-law were told or we even agree to serve in the proposed role they knew that their involvement would directly prevent me from being involved I tried to explain how much this opportunity means to me and I'm asking the board the question why it seems so important to Administration that I not have this opportunity can't [Music] understand he's here today I don't know if he will but he can certainly speak for himself I'd like to finish by reading a text message from bars baseball coach afternoon and I quote like I
048told you the other night that I put all three of your names as recommended for book and Pitch not sure who is telling you the opposite I've been told by the school it's not up to me on your situation thank you for your time and your consideration thank you um items for discussion and ction motion to appoint Tom and Jo San Antonio as co- coaches for The modified baseball team for 2024 2025 school year motion by T second by Chris um any discussion all in favor I I any opposed car I just one just quick inquiry with Tom being an assistant coach will he be also be the bests driver on those things and that's what they did last year at time I don't think they all time I'm just saying okay that has help

050hired a coach and they are going to do most of their practices individual we do realize that there has to be some time spent as a team because they're seing that has to get done um and there's also the possibility of doues um having the opportunity to play together so that's going to be left up for the coaches to kind of figure out some of that um but and there are going to be often times where we do our practic and come together as a team um it was also agreed that we were going to wear um both colors as we have cross country and um you know this year maybe look get next year or of actually having a new uniform like we did with cross country uh the last discussion was around where
051we were going to play games um prior to this even happening we realized that our cours which are in okay position are not enough to hold Meats we've always us the town court um I think years ago might need the copper Field Court um but anyway all of those Court including the ground Court are not at a point where they can be played on so we did talk about count um but the realization that we did not have I will say today that we might um but at that part I did agree that we our home we do have that for motion [Music] toe element discussion I just want to put in there the word Bo should be in that I did um just so you know that um probably remember a few months ago

057open they [Music] was [Music] world [Music] motion to return to the begin session s Sarah okay so recognize Jak Star Jones of varsity baseball team coach and mor and for the Varsity softball team for okay um so j u discussion about a North waren s okay so um I've still been in conversation with nor Warren about the th stoper and we've gone back and forth with different ideas uing that Transportation um is probably the largest hurle to get over so What Warren has offered to do at this point is that they are going to assign one of their own substitute bus driver program how they kind um that would means that that bus driver would be basically in charge every night of doing the circle of soer between the three schools um and I'm going
058to give a couple examp examples let's say that the practice is going to be here they would start up at North laen and girlsa come here and practice and do this circle that if it was the practice going to be at North Warren they would start here and they could do one of two things they could either bring their own bus or I PL FRS and she could come here and use one of our buses again the circle and coming back um so the transportation is I'm going to say somewhat taken out of the equation I do want to point out that you know people can get sick people things come up driv I think our drivers are didn't say we had yeah we only have what two bus drivers and Tom per that even
059do Sports runs so I me I think I think what I heard correct my mom that that was a and they did not want that to so I guess I kept trying to figure out a way to had this before because I think we also heard from the coaches and the ads that at least at the varsity level this was a positive move right now we do have enough modified so our modified would stay separate so this is only for the girl Varity um I think this is a very good resolution so that we can do the murder and have absolutely is there something we have to vote on we do have to vote on the the mer it will it has to go to the NBA there any more questions or comments on that
060mention last 14 um I was sorry um I was for the murger but the transportation isue was um soon to come up with a solution for it so I'm in favor of it so can someone make a motion for that I'll make a motion can you say motion please sure I I'll make a motion um to and girl soer [Music] discuss details I don't year 2025 2026 all in [Music] favor oppos okay um okay so motion under the recommendation of the varsity baseball coach to appoint Ashley La Mary OES and pesy as book compus for the varsity baseball team the 20242 second [Music] there are a contract that we need to sign um to make sure that we are all the same P um we you need to add an l l um notion to
061accept the AIT for the Schuss all in favor OPP and I will if you have any questions but I really need you to call me um or def but happy because the night that we come back and have the next meeting is the last night that theard can approve the we have to it next so there question okay committee reports have um um we did have it it was again about the event trying to close up that project um you know if I Look Backwards and see anything in that project um it might have been a good idea you think in the future Project work finding one been incredible his knowledge and his um working with the contractor but he also has a um so do the detail and setting up the things um although
062went above beyond what happen so but in the future I would look at any really what we talked about TR trou that issu and um you know having those discussion all of the um contractors [Music] that um policy committee met we are fing through the entire policy manual we received feedback from the different departments on the different policies that they um that were given and we've gone through them we kind of M them into piles for questions and clarifications and so we're in the middle of that process last meeting we hadone wonder why and that will be um changed once this is put all together um I will say I called the are one people um they were a little surprised that we as far process um My Hope Is that we will start putting
063the changes in that were recommended by the um people can you know them in the department and if possible by this summer we had the [Music] second okay um Financial we have an update tonight again [Music] and of the but not a um all yes okay update reports I have a couple updates um last um meeting there was some conversation about Ai and the policy um and looking at creating a policy one of the things that I did between time I did reach out to Queen fa and queen fa um don't have a direct policy on AI um as most schools I have have a direct policy where they located in C fa is under their academic Integrity Integrity code of conduct um and it talks about AI in there um so I think schools
064are doing it differently they're doing it all different ways but that is an example and that's something that we could look at um which that would basically go in quot um conduct um I think it's important to know that we are also moving forward in other areas and quickly have talk about um we had a person from come up and talk to our staff specific staff members ofi yeah yeah Lor from came up um a DAT month or more ago and um she met with our grade see five through eight including incling Ela um Ela High School teachers um just to talk about um what the options are when it comes to Ai and um programs that can generate AI documents what to use what not to use what to trust what not to trust
065things like that and um she introduce them to something new that they weren't familiar with but she very very highly recommended they use and they have um since been using that with that group of people so that was a a positive thing to learn about um but she also talked a lot about the what not to do and what not to trust and um that part of it a little eye opening and a little SC to be honest yeah but very informational so I think moving forward um more of that sort of thing for profession professional development down the road and do it in this policy it is going to be real important um it's not going away and the other place where we've also AI is last year and then this coming year we're
066doing it again but our full day meeting we have had National Speakers coming in speaking on a I think the important takeaway from all of this is we as the teachers and adults have got to figure out a way and I think we are do need some degree already of how to help the students understand and quite honestly use ai ai is a real thing it's going to be in their life they are going to use it but there are parameters around using AI I think um the guest speaker that we had last year at the true north day said it that he compared looking back in the 70s early 70s and the real first calculators came out and you they were the destruction of mass and you know keep per that they had to
067figure out how do they use the calculator while still making sure students need some basic math we've got to figure that out now um so I don't think our poliy would ever say we're not going to allow AI how are [Music] we [Music] I okay oh yeah yeah musical is reach a away and um so it's crunch time they moving along nicely um we um came up a little bit short with some of our student cast members so we recruited some adult cast members to to join the show which seems to be working out nicely um the team putting out together is be well together few little bu there but to be expected so um we're really excited to work um I also want to speak about U batt the books put on by bosis
068happened last week Mike and I were able to attend um it's a great event at soon theond we have 19 students in grade who should participate and um our third graders got home of first place bner and um all the kid did great and I just wanted to say congratulations to uh Brian Amanda and our archers for their um their turnout and um they're placing at um the tournament in chus a couple days ago um we had a fourth grader play fifth overall amongst the ele Elementary boys so great job there as well um upcoming dates we have March 18th cular with March 21st through 23rd the government Hotel March 24th to 28 spirit week March 31st frin committee meeting 9:00 a.m. April 4th um is our class of 2027 spaghetti dinner April 4th through
