Um that's why Not like every day or I have yesterday too. So I'm not so does my daughter. So did my mom. That's a weird. And it's if I don't go like
023that's why I have no uh She's on the same bed. We're not like the same. She's on those because headache. So I said, "Let's just like, yeah." And then I was like, Silly. Well, I All right, welcome back for those that power on with us. Appreciate that. Okay, I believe we are moving on to approval of the sent the consent agenda. So I would entertain a motion to approve the consent agenda agenda as presented. >> I move to approve the consent agenda as presented. >> A second. >> Any discussion about that? >> That's just the minutes and the financial report. >> Okay. Uh all in favor of approving the consent agenda as presented. I motion passes. Thank you. All right. I do believe we are moving on to our district audit report and we have
024Vicki with us. Wow. In person. Yeah. Hello. Glad to be back. This is my >> Wow. And our microphones are super touchy, so you practically have to >> Okay. >> Pretend it's your ice cream cone. Practically. We audited the Glide School District basic financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30th, 2025. The audit was conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States as well as applicable government auditing standards. An audit provides you with reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free of material misstatement. Internal controls are examined and tested in conjunction with the audit testing. We're also watching out for signs of fraud. No internal control or fraud issues were identified during the audit. Based on our audit, we've given the district an unmodified opinion. It was a clean audit
025with no qualifications or deficiencies noted. >> Another good year. Just a few numbers. Your governmentwide ending net position this year was at 15.6 million which was 7.6% increase over the prior year. Your governmental funds ending net position was 5.9 million which was 10.7% increase over the prior year. I also like to look at that 5.9 million ending actual balance in comparison to your budgeted beginning balance. We don't want you to start off in a rears. No. And in this case, you were over by 517,000. So you're starting off strong. That's a good way to start your year. >> We actually had one school who started off a million in the rears. Oh, >> this is much preferable. >> My goodness. >> Your ending cash and investments for the year were at 5.9 million, which was
026up 6.7% from the prior year. This last year, your revenues were down just a smidge, 1.5%. They ended with uh 15.5 million, of which 5.8 million or 37% was from state school funding. and 7% one $1,95,000 was from federal funding. And since that was over the $750,000 uh limit for a single audit, we also had a single audit this year. More documentation. The expenditures this last year were down 10% from the prior year. >> Yay. Yeah. So you had uh 14.999 million. So 15 million. And then the other thing I also like to bring to your attention is the your portion of the Oregon PERS unfunded liability for the retirement accounts. That ended up being uh 7.8 million this year which is up 18% from the prior year. And we have seen numbers this last
027year that were all over the board. All of them up. Yeah. Um at the prior uh presentation that I gave to a board, theirs was up 85%. In those ones, >> it's the actuaries and sale. they choose different numbers for doing their net present value and they're just all over the place with it. Um, but the main thing to remember about that is just that you do have a liability long-term for retirement cost and you have acknowledged it in your financials. So, you're good. Nice. And you continue to make payments towards funding that. Yes, we do. Oh, thank you. Thank you for coming in person and sharing that with us. Really appreciate it. And yeah, and Carolyn I think we owe a lot of that to you and I know the rest of the team
028and Robert and I know you guys are all staying on top of it and um was super grateful because I know times are stretch that out. So good job. So joking around, um Carolyn doesn't let us spend any money at all. But all seriousness, uh we are very much aware of the upcoming PERS debt that's going to hit the district and kudos to Carolyn for um already starting to prepare for that. So we're trying to bite that chunk off in little bites instead of waiting to the cliff and jumping off the cliff. So yeah, >> um Caroline's already started preparing. >> Super appreciate that. And I remember that's been part of the dialogue when we were doing bargaining and all kinds of stuff. Just trying to put that into our budget so that we don't
029end up like you said at the cliff going, "Oh, okay." Yeah. 80ome percent hit. Oh my goodness. >> I can't even >> Well, it comes at the cost of what you provide to kids and Yeah. I don't know that district and what kind of shape they're in, but I'm sure they're reducing their ending fund balance. Probably not a safe level. Um, probably have to cut staffing to cover that. I mean, it just it all comes back to the quality of experience for kids. So, >> yeah, that's too bad. I would hate to ever be in a position where we'd have to cut staff. That would be, I think, detrimental to our district. Okay. So think oh yeah right public participation so sorry I always forget about that now because because we never have any >>
030Yeah. Be careful. Be careful what you ask for. >> All turn around. >> Funny. So you never know. >> Okay. Um so I think we're gonna talk about the grant. >> Yeah. So uh thank you for this um opportunity on this agenda to put in front of you the SIA um presentation. The intent of this presentation is to fulfill the statutory requirements um that uh is set u for the student investment account uh grant. The Slide Glide School District receives several grants um dedicated towards specific areas and you've often heard um them referred to as buckets. Uh high school success, early literature, student investment account, just to name a few. Each of those buckets of money are used to um well, they used to require its own application process. So small districts like Glide um
031that means one person is was applying for each of those grants. And so OD did try to um consolidate that and they attempt to streamline the process. And um what they did is they put all those grants under what's now called the integrating guidance application. Every year superintendents must share with the board an evaluation of all the integrated guidance grants. I did that during the September board meeting. I talked about things that we do really well uh we did really well last year and an areas um that we still have for growth. Uh you guys approved that evaluation. Usually we approve the upcoming grant at the same time, but this year because of uh where the economy was and the status of some federal funds, um the awarding of the grant was put off until
032just recent. So the um SIA student investment account is different than all those other grants as this bucket of money has regulations and statutes that are attached to it. uh when all the grants were consolidated under one umbrella uh that process didn't alleviate the requirements that are in statute for the SIA grant for lawmakers to get support from Oregon taxpayers uh they needed to include accountability and transparency into the law. How they sold it to the taxpayers was to add this public step where superintendent reports to the board the amounts of the funds that are allocated. Um these funds uh let's see allocated these funds are for the bienium. So we only do this every other year. Um a brief overview on how that money is spent and then post the grant application online. And
033then the final step is your approval. Basically accepting the amount of money that they allocate to us. So here we go. Okay. The SIA grant allocation for the 2527 bienium is um 1,627,216 and 92 cents. Our plan that we know I got to get the 92 cents in there. Our plan that we submitted um on how to spend that money focused on funding for 7.35 FTE that's uh full-time equivalent um which is a m majority of the expenditure. We also use that fund to pay for our multi-tiered um support system subscription or subs for SIA funded positions, some curriculum training for staff, and this is also the bucket of money where each licensed staff has the opportunity to work 16 hours uh and get reimbursed for pre-approved work outside the contract area hours. Um the
034reason it's 7.34 is because we don't fully fund everyone in that position. We we fund portions of people. The entire application is posted on our web website. It has been for a while. Um and then now we're at the point where I'll ask the board chair to call for a motion to accept the SIA grant allocation of 1,627,216.92. Once a motion is made and seconded, you can ask any follow-up questions. The motion and vote will be to accept the student investment account grant of 1,627,216.92. >> Okay. I would entertain a motion to approve the student investment account agreement and accept the SIA grant allocation of 1 million 1,627,216.92 as presented. I move to approve the uh student investment account agreement and accept the SA SIA grant allocation of because we can't say it enough 1,627,216.92
035as presented. >> Oh, that and I won't say it again. >> Thank you. >> It's kind of fun to say. >> It is kind of fun. just thought maybe we'd all get a chance make sure we're super clear on what we're all talking about. Um any discussion on that? Um I just had a a question. Um so so some of this is supposed to go towards like improving um mental health. Is that correct? Did I read that somewhere in there or was that a different >> Yeah. So, I'll speak to it and the principles can sure talk to about it too, but we fund our student sports specialists out of this. Um, our behavior, >> those aren't too big that cover that area. >> Okay. >> Perfect. Yeah, that's all I wanted to know. Any
036other further discussion or questions? Okay. All those in favor of you you know what we're voting on >> I >> Okay, motion passes. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> And thank you for presenting that, Mr. Freeman. Okay, I think we are moving on now to policy revisions. And just going to pull out my little notes. Sorry, one sec. I had these all in order and then decided to change that. So, the the premise is is that um John and I, we had um one, two, three, four, five different policies we needed to review. Um if y'all recall, there was a few on the um the meeting a couple meetings back um that we had lots of questions about and weren't sure. So, John and I got together um with the rest of the um admin
037team and um went over the policy um potential revisions and recommendations um from OSBA. So, um in uh JFCB um and I don't I hope everyone had maybe an opportunity to look at some of this beforehand. Um, let me just go to the actual policy here. That is the policy. Um, thank you. That was the personal electronic devices and um, this policy in the AR was adopted by the board if you all recall back in August um, of 2025. It has been recommended by the administration that the last sentence in the second paragraph be changed to add districtisssued. This changes and protects the internet safety and security of our students. And and what that is talking about is that um that not using personal laptops here so that we're not um putting our system at
038risk. Um, and that's why we're saying only district issued for internet safety and security reasons. So, I love that. >> Yeah. Go on to the next one or >> do we need to go adopt each one or go through all of them and then Okay. Yeah, let's do that. Thank you. Okay. Next one was um the J O A right. Oh, that's >> they're out of order in here. We're going to go through the JHCA. And I was looking at the notes. No, that's fine. Okay. So um JHCA that is the um the one on immunization, school sports participation, concussion and other brain injuries is what was added in. And um so the um Oregon legislator legislature adopted HB uh 30007 in 2025 um outlining steps that must be taken when information regarding a student's
039concussion or other brain injury is provided to the district. OSBA is also recommending removing the double code on JHCA and JHCB immunization and school sports participation making it JHCA immunization school sports participation concussions and other brain injuries. Say that five times fast. Good grief. Okay, so those were combined and it just adds in um the that a student who continues participate in extracurricular sports in grades 7 through 12 shall be required to complete a sports examination um once every two years thereafter if they were determined right to have a concussion. Is that my understanding? Right. Yes. Okay. So, we're just changing it in that those things are combined instead of two separate policies. Um, kind of a no-brainer about the concussion thing. Okay. And then I'm sorry, I'm looking at the notes instead of how
040it's outlined on the agenda. Which one? Okay. Joa. Thank y'all. Um that's the directory information and um we were recommending upholding OSBA's recommendation. Um it adds number three a major field of study and number four sport. Um so that it can include right so the directory information um include students name, students photograph, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports um weight and height of members of athletic teams. Were they taking that one out or does that still stay in there because of sports? Is that right? Anybody? John, do you remember? Gotcha. Right. Okay. Um dates of attendance and they added in diploma, honors or awards received. So what was added was um photograph major field of study and sports with the recognized activities members of athletic teams um dates of attendance
041and so just minimal words. Okay, moving on to DBA. Okay, this is the budget committee. I do believe this is one of the ones that um one of the reasons why we kicked it forward was it just was kind of confusing. So what um John and I um are recommending is really just changing a small um word in there about um so it had said about um one of the that there will be a member on the um equity committee which the equity that already happens and so we are just changing it to a member. So it can be any one of us and we can rotate that way. That way it's not a burden on one specific person. Um so that's all that we were changing it to from a at least one member
042to read a member. That was our recommendation. Tracy, is that in >> right now? It's just um at least one member. Correct. That's what's in the pol policy right now is at least one member and we're changing it to a member. >> Okay. Because that's not on. that that is what our the motion's going to be about is is just correcting that language >> which is still in alignment with every >> okay >> with OSBA and what we're supposed to be doing. >> Okay. And um Yep. And now we're on the LBEA. This is another one that we were confused about and um kicked over for John and I to get together with the team. Um so this was the denial for virtual public charter school. Um we do need to make a decision, right?
043So, the law gives a district a way to deny enrollment of a student to a virtual public charter school if the district chooses to impose a cap. Um, the board decides to institute the practice and adopt the policy or not. Um, if the district does not want to issue a denial to a student who notifies the district of a transfer to a virtual public charter school, then we would delete this policy. So, if there was a cap, it's at was it three? Yeah. Um but our recommendation was to um I believe get rid of the policy that we didn't really need. Just not have the policy. Okay. So like that's all our things, right? Okay. So, I think we'll go through each one after the um a second. If there is a second, we'll have
044discussion, I guess, before we on each one. Is that Huh? Yeah, absolutely. Um I figured Okay, so starting um with um JFC B. Oh, so yeah, we're going to have to do that one by one. That's going to be so I would I would entertain a motion to approve the policy JFC B which is personal electronics device. >> Okay. Any discussion on the personal electronics uh devices and approving it on first reading as presented? Okay. All of those in favor of passing the amendment to JFCEB on personal electronic devices. I motion passes for that policy. Okay. Moving on to JHCA. I would which is concussion brain injuries combination um the two separate policies put into one. I would entertain a motion to approve policy JHCA for adoption on first reading as presented. >> I'll second.
045>> Okay. Any discussion on a concussion? Sorry, couldn't help myself. Right. Okay. All those in favor? I motion passes on um the adopting the concussion brain injury combo. Okay. Moving on to JA. It's the directory information policy. Um the ads in a few um pieces photograph major field of study and sports members of teams and and I would entertain a motion to approve policy JOA on directory information for adoption on first reading as presented. I'll second. >> Any discussion on directory information? Okay. All those in favor. Okay. Motion passes for JOA directory information. Okay. We're going to move on to budget committee. That's DBEA. Um and I that is for the language of um okay that was from at least one member to read a member. Um, so I would entertain a motion to approve
046policy DBEA on the budget committee uh for adoption on first reading as presented. >> But it would be as presented because we don't have >> for right now. It it is >> okay >> until >> Okay. It's I mean the document doesn't read that. So that's great. >> Well, the update is read reads that. >> Okay, that's fine. If that's Yeah, that's Yeah, it says at least one member of the committee, not a member. That's how it reads right now. >> Right. So the my understanding was that the presentation of the change is what we would be accepting as presented. But if you think we need to say that differently. >> Yeah. I mean the motion is that basically that we would um u approve it with that change. >> Correct. >> And the other
047two funds, but that one is not on the document as presented. I know it's But it's not as >> Yeah. Yeah. And Tracy was saying it was supposed to be a member, not at least one, but a member. Am I correct? Did I hear that right? >> Yeah. Thank you. I like that. >> I bit lovely. >> Okay. Discussion on that. >> Any discussion? All right. All those in favor of um approving the DBEA budget committee amendment of a member on first reading I okay motion passes for DBEA budget committee change. Okay. LBEA charter school enrollment. So, um yeah, I'm wondering how I say that. Um, I would entertain a motion to um I guess exclude >> well so our >> policy >> that's what yeah so to yes and it's not required So John
048and I's recommendation from the team was to um exclude the policy, take it out of the >> So I guess I'm saying I would entertain a motion to exclude the policy. >> Oh, >> right. So do we need to like second it to get to that? >> So you want a motion? >> So I think we need a motion and then to get to a second to discuss it whether we want to do that or not. I'm I make a motion to withdraw or exclude whatever word you want to use there uh lbea uh policy or remove it from our set of policies. I'll second. >> Okay. Discussion. Feel like maybe there is. >> Now, here was our discussion over that. We we're already over the number which means we could let nobody go and
049you know and and and then deny people that are already out of you know because we're already out of compliance of this. So, are we going to say the next person no regardless of whether maybe they need to or it would do them good? And as far as I can see, if we can't keep that number pretty, we're probably not doing a good job anyway. You know, I don't think everybody's going to quit school. So uh they have to go do something. Yes. >> So yeah. Yeah. you. Well, and I I will tell you that you can reinstate the policy anytime you could get board members to vote to reinstate it. I mean, that's not a a big deal, but I do know one person that's, you know, 15 years old and not going to
050any school whatsoever and their parents called and said, "What do we do?" And uh you do nothing. There is no way to force a kid to go to school today. So, if they don't want to go, they are not going. And and I think that maybe it's more on our our responsibility to make darn sure that we're doing a good enough job that at least, you know, the parents want to make sure the kids go and the kids are at least having a good enough time or think they're learning enough that uh they do want to come. We spent a lot of time on this one because um because I myself have a lot of feelings about it. I don't want to deny anybody um access that fits better for them, but at the same
051time um you know that's that's money for our district per per kid. And not that it's about money, but there's also that piece of why aren't they why why is that the better option for them? Um is that something that we need to look at ourselves of are are we lacking somewhere that they don't want to come here? Um but as John was saying, we're already over what the cap would be. And then how would we how would we activate that? where do you is it just like the last few folks that decided to do that once that cap would have been made and then we have to tell them sorry about your luck and so I think we really wrestled with um how to move forward with this um and so we were opting
052with if we didn't have the policy then we can um assess it per case that's They will not make a kid go to school, >> right? So, I guess my question, are we at risk? We're not >> It's not required. >> It It's cost enough money, I don't think. I mean, basically that I don't see why it would be any, you know, but it's only going to be a kid not coming and us not getting the money for the um it it's in here basically to protect schools from all the kids, not the one. I mean, that's what it it's to make sure you get the money. But I I would think that if you know if we can't encourage kids to come, maybe we need to look at what we're doing. >> Yeah. >>
053I I think that's the main point, right? Right. That you and Tracy both made that same point is that that's a a litmus paper test of of how are we doing? It's a heck of a test. But also I I want to know if if we did have this policy and they they didn't >> then >> yeah we >> is there in this >> nothing happens >> then it's a silly policy to me policies that have no >> somebody is going to go grab the kid and drag them to school >> it does not happen >> they don't go to jail the parents don't go to jail I mean >> where's the truency officer when you need There is not in that is exactly it. There is no >> given my age away opposite. >>
054Isn't the intent of the point? So I'm I I appreciate that and I just you know I thought the intent of it is that if you had like to Trixie's point you had a whole number like more than 3% of the district saying I want to go to a charter school that wasn't sponsored by the district. um this allows you not to be able to to deny that if need be. So I guess that was my question is like if we don't have a policy then can we still deny that or are we in a But that's my point. If we deny it, then what? >> Yeah. I guess I'm just more of looking at like >> then they don't go to school. >> Yeah. >> Right. So >> yes, please do. I'm struggling because
055if no if you don't have any way to say we can deny it and the student any student says I want to go to chart school would theoret >> which we do already. >> Okay. So the um the real issue here is not all kids are best served by public schools >> and um my philosophy has always been that you work your team. Ra it takes a village to raise a kid. I firmly believe that if the parent or the village is saying public education isn't the right place and we want to try this virtual charter school, then it's our job to work with the family um understand what the needs of the kids are, try to meet those needs. If we don't meet that need, um, then we make sure that they know they're
056still welcome to come back here if that avenue doesn't produce what they think it's going to produce. And I think that's a much better position to be in than deny a family upfront. Say, "Nope, family goes and does it anyway. They fail at that. There's no there's no avenue now for that family to come back to Glide. they're going to seek another district around thinking that that district will try to meet their needs. So, I charge my principles to know why every student leaves our district. Jan has a tickler that when she gets the request, those go out to each building. Um, so we understand we know we know about the student. Often the the kids were never our kids to begin with. Um, we have people move into our district that are already doing
057that. Um, I don't want to get too deep in the weeds, but um, the the kids that were our kids and are leaving. Um, I can very confidently tell you that our buildings know exactly what's going on in the family and the dynamics. Um, and we've we've tried to do everything we can to support them to be here in Glide. and we work really hard to let the families know that that door is always open. If they exhaust all their resources that they have, they're still welcome to come back here and we're going to try to help the student be successful. So that's why I'm in favor of removing the policy. And I would rather be that district also, right, that's trying to actually meet the needs of each student. >> Oh, no. Yep. I'd
058like to clarify one thing about my litmus test paper test thing is that I'm not blaming staff or the teachers either. it it's well good but I came into my mind like well I hope it wasn't interpreted that way because I am a firm believer that it takes the student the parents and the school teachers that's a triangle if that triangle falls any one of those pieces falls apart the students chance of success is is very low so throw in a pandemic forest fire add whatever else you want to add to that generational poverty but something's happening with that family >> and they look at the school, then that's a good reason to look at ourselves. If we look at our mirror first and start there, >> well, I will assure you those two sitting
059right there do exactly that. >> And I have no doubt about that. >> And I think >> at all, I have no doubts about this. >> I believe that getting rid of this policy is doing that. Do you know what I mean? that that um allows us that flexibility to really try to help actually help, not just have a hard line. Um and we keep that open door because as Robert was saying, the odds of them going out there um in desperation trying to figure out the right fit and that didn't really work out. We want to be here with open arms ready to meet the needs. >> Yeah. Well, and all the there's probably not a teacher out there and going to chuckle a little bit. I know I do. It's like, "Oh, I'm
060going to homeschool my kids. Good luck with that." Because do you really know what work that is? You know, that that is tremendous. And so they may, you know, get their knickers in a bunch or whatever and and decide to do that, closing a door on them. >> Yep. So, I've been one of those parents who've been there and homeschooled my daughter for two years. So, um because I had a a school um principal hang up on me while I was trying to get needs met and all kinds of stuff and she was um on an IEP, special needs, all kinds of stuff and it was a disaster. So, uh, obviously I'm I'm a little biased in trying to keep the door open for, um, folks who are struggling so that we can be, um,
061a little more compassionate about how we're handling things. >> We have kiddos in our district right now because other districts have the opposite philosophy. But those other districts, how many other board members get met with this and this and dinner and I mean that's absolutely we should be setting the bar and we are for what a what a good school district is. >> I think we are we're a community. We're we're integrated like this school district is this community. Um, and I always hope that we're reflecting that with heart and compassion and gumption to strive to do better always. So, >> can we call for the motion? >> Yeah. So, um, any other further questions or discussion? Okay. All those in favor of um deleting this policy. Um >> yeah, LBEA, the denial for virtual
062public charter school. All those in favor for deleting I. Okay, motion passes. Thank you all so much for working through that. Um, awesome discussion. And now I lost the rest of the in my shuffle of papers. Okay. Now I believe we are on to the um >> Douglas ESD local service plan resolution. >> Yep. >> Okay. In front of you is a packet uh nice colorful packet. Uh that is the entire um local service plan that the Douglas ESD developed in conjunction with their board, their leadership, and the superintendent in the county. This is everything that they offer. Um Analysia is working really hard to try to get me a list of what exactly Glide takes advantage of. I know you asked for that last year. Um she actually emailed me last week and said
063that she probably wasn't going to have it for this board meeting. soon as I get it, I promise I will get it in front of you. Uh, but districts such as Glide uh rely on this service plan. Um, there are things in here that we take we participate in that we could not afford to do ourselves. So, um, anyway, uh, I'm bringing this to you to ask uh, for your approval to participate in this local service plan. >> Okay. I would entertain a motion to adopt the 2026 2027 Douglas ESD local service plan as presented. >> I to adopt the 2026 2027 Douglas ESD local service plan as presented. >> Okay, any questions or discussion? Okay. All those in favor of adopting. >> I Okay, motion passes. >> Thank you. Uh Tracy, I have this
064already filled out. I'll give it to you when I'm done with this next presentation because the calendar is on the back of that sheet. >> All righty. >> All right. I already filled it out. >> Okay. On page 16, we can fill it out again. It wasn't that three three words. Uh on page 16 is the 26th 27th uh proposed board and budget calendar. The board meeting follows um what we are typically used to in Glide um every third Wednesday of each month. And then the budget calendar um has us beginning in April and then finishing up early May. And that fits into Carolyn's um budget process. And then that gives us plenty of time for the final approval in June. >> Okay. Um well then I would entertain a motion to uh adopt the
0652026 27 board budget calendar as presented. >> I move to adopt the 2026 2027 board budget calendar as presented. >> Okay. Any questions or discussion about this? So, that's our next calendar we're going to go to. We're not You're one calendar ahead of me, >> Mr. I just like how you're forward thinking. >> I did have this meeting going. >> I did have um in every time we've changed this budget meeting deal from like it's still we've scheduled it the third and the fourth where we've uh once again are we going to have to change that in the future. >> So John just to clarify is your question as to why we have three dates on there. >> No >> and the two together or is it the >> distance two years they have wanted
066to move? >> Yep. a week from the the second one so they could >> Yep. have time to go over it more. >> So, I worked with my business department and this proposal is what fits best into their calendar and >> well, that's a week the first meeting. Yeah, >> pardon. >> Sorry, I didn't interrupt. >> A week in between. Uh we feel like some of the budget maybe the majority of the budget members feel like a week is plenty of time that if they waited two weeks that they would just put it off for two weeks. >> Yep. >> I'm not saying any names, John. >> And so um we would like to keep it at the week interval and um and then as positions on the budget committee change that process continues to
067stay the same. >> Yes. I'd like to have it daily. Yeah. >> Well, the budget. No, I won't get into that yet. You have the right to say yay or no if one. >> Well, I think this is I think this is good. It gives us a week. First ones on the 26. >> Wonder if we're going to, you know, once again, but maybe not. >> Well, gives us a week and then historically we haven't needed the third meeting. We've usually >> Yeah, correct. That was the other question. I wanted to make sure we were talking about the same thing. Uh but um John's right just the last meeting or maybe the last two it's been asked to have a two-eek interval instead of a week interval. And like I said in working with my
068business department I hate using Caroline's name but working with Carolyn uh the week really works better into her process. >> And I agree with John. I think that two weeks and you might as well just have the meeting the next day because you're going to do the same thing. I'm just like, "Oh, two weeks." >> I'm way more like I'd like to have them one day than the next day. Your mind is on the I don't like delay. I have to when I do that I'm like, "Oh, just throw it down." >> That is it. Yes. >> No. No. I'm I'm right in there. It's like if it's a week later, I'm not even going to look at it till the next week. It's two weeks later. I'm not going to look at it till
069two weeks later. >> On that note, we're recommending the week in between the >> I'm sorry I brought it up. >> Nope. We, as you can tell, we've had some discussions about that. >> So, okay. All those in favor of adopting the 2026 27 board and budget calendar as presented. I motion passes. Okay. Moving on to the district calendar. Okay. On page 17, uh this is um the proposed calendar for the 2627 school year. Uh this has us starting the week before Labor Day. It was a unanimous agreement to do that because if we didn't that means our staff and students were going into the third week of June and nobody thought that was a good idea. >> Yep. >> So that one we were able to unanimously decide. Uh this mirrors the current calendar
070for this year. Um there are some anomalies. Uh if you recall, you changed the conference dates uh for um the elementary and um we're we're collecting data to see how that's working to make sure that this calendar that's presented to you u that there's no negative data out there that would support a change. But if there is, we'll come back to you and and talk to you about that. But as of today, this is the calendar we'd like to put in front of you. Okay. Well, I would entertain a motion to adopt the 2026 27 district calendar as presented. >> I move to adopt the 2026 27 district calendar as presented. >> Okay. Any discussion or questions? Come on. We were Jan has flipped that over a half a dozen dozen times. Um, and just
071like every calendar, we have so many different eyes on the calendar and I don't know how things continue to get missed. So, I'm sure there's something on here that we miss, but as of today, this is our best effort to get it absolutely perfect. Yep. Yep. So, we uh we are starting the same time Roseberg is. U Jan did check some other districts in the county and they two are starting a week before Labor Day. Um our spring breaks are the same school arch. >> Nice. >> Also is pretty similar to the Dallas school. So, >> okay. Any other questions, comments? Okay. All those in favor of adopting the 20 26 27 district calendar as presented. I motion passes. Okay. I believe we are going to talk about budget uh committee vacancy. So, uh Mr.
072Dan Dawson is term has is expired this year. We certainly encourage him to apply again, but we are opening up the vacancy. Um, it will be posted tomorrow and we are hoping to have applications in before February 10th. Um, tell your friends. So, I know that we've struggled in the past to round some folks up, but it's a great way to participate and have a voice in your community. And there we go. Okay. and okay, superintendent report. >> Yeah. Uh so a little random so I hope I'm not hope I can make some kind of sense. Uh at the last meeting which seems like a long time ago. Uh we some of you had talked about um revisiting the strategic plan and making sure we're still uh pointed the direction that the district wants to
073go. Um, my recommend my recommendation is that we pause a little bit on officially addressing the strategic plan because there's some things in the works right now that I think are going to help guide that work and um still provide us a clear direction. Uh Carrie and Tammy and I have been attending a workshop that's called um community schools um through inflection. Um it's a it's a framework um where schools operate that are based on four pillars that um in each of those pillars you continually assess the health of the activities and things that hold that pillar up and high functioning schools are doing well in all those elements of those four pillars. soon we'll be coming to you and giving you a formal presentation on what that means and um I'm sure they could
074share too. I will tell you that a lot of the things we're doing fills those pillars up. So we're we're doing a lot of things but what I like about the um the community frame the is the framework um community schools framework is that it gives you something to operate in. So, not that we're randomly doing stuff, but you know, at the board meetings, I've been trying to pinpoint different activities that tie into the strategic plan. This is all laid out. Wonderful. It's a little more organization, if you will, on >> um and specific specificity specifically, right? >> Working on uh calling out those things. And that was one of the things the presenter uh said about Glide and what we presented is that it appears that Glide does a lot of things on purpose
075and we do. We do a lot of things on purpose that meets the needs of our community. Um some examples of those are things that you are acutely aware of. Um you heard tonight that even at our elementary school, we have a a huge population of kids that are involved in something outside of the school. And oh my gosh, I had no idea we were competing on a national level like we are. So, how cool is that? >> Awesome. >> Um uh we um you know, we continue to look at our community as a whole and meet their needs. Um the the food um program programs, not just the one we did as a district, but throughout our community, uh what that did for the community of Glide over the holidays is amazing. the impact
076it had. I don't know if you can measure that or not, but u what a gift the different entities including our own gave to this community to help support their basic needs. Um the discussion we just had on our philosophy discussion which is a really deep discussion and we all have really deep core values and things that um that we believe are right. But all of you when you talked about whether we keep this policy that forces kids out of our system or into our system, you you all talked about the kid experience and the family experience and that's that's being vulnerable and exposing your beliefs and your philosophy about how we should treat kids in our family. All that is part of this framework and it all ties together. Um we're we're doing a
077lot of work. Uh tomorrow we're actually taking um the US three and then two leaders from each building are going to join us also and uh then that's going to spread out to our teacher leaders and hopefully build synergy to where community schools isn't just a phrase we're using. It's it's how we operate do business. The strategic plan guides that. So you'll see how that work ties into the strategic plan. Um and then selfish not selfishly that's the wrong word but I think um positively moving forward all of this work because we involve the community and a lot of that building those u uh events that happen within those pillars are going to lead us to um passing the bond. I I firmly believe that um if we show the community what's important to us,
078how we're meeting the needs, um what our needs are, where our areas that we we need to beef up in order to do these things, I I don't see how the community would vote no against that, especially if we can continue with the notion that it would be at a zerocost game. Um it'll still be at a cost, but >> zero increased >> increase um to taxpayers. Uh so anyway, that's that's my report tonight. Um things, knock on wood, things are really going well. Um oh shoot, I should talk about we just got introduced to a schoolbased mental health therapist through Adapt that is starting on Monday. And I gotta tell you, in the three years that I've been here and been asking for this support, >> gotten a lot of a lot of crickets,
079a lot of lip service. Today, I actually saw some action. We actually have a person who's dedicated to Glide. Um I know, >> oh my gosh, so excited. >> They were um I don't know if shock's the right word, but they asked, "Yeah, how when do you think we could get some referrals and a case load going?" And both of them were like, um, tomorrow, >> right? >> And, uh, anyway, we're in a position to start that process on Monday and actually get some help for our kiddos and our families at Glide. Super excited about that. Fulltime, four days a week. I was really anticipating hearing like, oh, we'd get her two days a week or something. Uh, but she is our person and we we believe we have the need. So, this is at
080zero cost to the district. Should put that out there. Uh, they make their money by billing Medicaid. >> And so, um, they feel like, uh, we feel like we have enough need in this district of people who qualify to be build for Medicaid that this position will, um, fund itself. >> Oh, this makes me so happy. I can't even tell you. >> Yeah, for sure. Well, we I mean, you guys have been asking for that as long as I've been here. >> Yeah. >> I can't believe I almost forgot to tell you that. >> Very awesome. Very awesome. >> Okay, Carolyn, I just have a few quick things tonight. First of all, I want to thank Vicki and her team. I think she said 14 years she's been doing this. Yeah, they're >> they do
081an excellent job. They're always >> they always have their stuff done on time. They were given an extension for our single audit to February 2nd because of the federal shutdown, but they still got it done on time. So, thank you, Vicki. Appreciate all your time that you put into our audit every year. Um the second Wow. Nice. Um and then the second thing is um you may or may not have noticed that our beginning fund balance has increased. Um and the reason for that is because um I think it was either the 23 24 year or the very beginning of the 24 25 year um we were told that we were going to be getting some money because they incorrectly figured the state school fund. They had they subtracted our federal force fees that were
082getting from the secure rural schools and you know they told us you'll get it on this state. Well, then as I was getting ready to budget, I thought, "Okay, should I budget for this and I reached out and I didn't get I got crickets." So, I was like, "Yeah, I'm not going to count that money." >> Well, we did end up getting that money and then we had to book it in the previous year. >> So, that affected our beginning fund balance. And so I will be having some suggestions of some transfers into some funds that we haven't been able to trans transfer money into as we had in the past. Um probably at our next meeting. And then the last thing is I'm happy to report that the Secure Rural Schools Act was reauthorized
083and signed in December. >> It was. >> And so it's retroactive to 2024. So we'll get additional funds for that and then we'll get it this year. and it's um through 2026 for now. So we in February they're saying we should be getting the back money, the money for this year and then the money for 20 or 2025 and then 2026. So >> wonderful. >> That was good news. >> That's great news. That's great news. >> And that's all I have. >> Thank you so much. That is awesome news. Okay, I believe we're moving on to individual board member reports. I'm happy to go first. Um although it seems like such a long time ago because it was over the holidays, I do want to echo what Robert said. I got to come down and
084help. Um it was so fun going to the elementary school and see all the students packing everything. My favorite best part was though the there was a high school student dressed in as Santa Claus and he was checking checking everything twice which was Carrie's idea like go through and check because we have extra this we shouldn't have extra and so the the students got so into it and they're counting everything and I say I was on Robert's team but we did mess up with a couple. >> I will just own it. Um it was pretty funny and um and it was but it was just such a great experience and there all ages of students were helping and so excited to be there and just was such positive energy. I will just say I took
085that into you know the holidays which was amazing just to see the breadth of being able to give to um one recognizing Cal Creek. So please, you know, I don't know what we do to I mean, we can we keep saying thank you, thank you, thank you. Um because that was amazing, but to be able to have that that food for those families for the entire break, I couldn't just imagine it was such a gift. So um that was amazing. Also, we had the FFA auction. Um and uh that was also amazing to see um the community come out and support FFA. Uh all of the wonderful things that the students are doing. It just again reinforces again, you know, the community involvement and engagement and folks showing up to support students um across the
086board. Um I also um want to um in terms of the I'm just so excited about the mental health. I will just say thank you um Robert that is um it is one of the continued um huge needs that um students are reporting and um and we still see yeah just a huge need for um that mental health support across the board and a big shout out to Ben Sarapin for the grant for sports equipment. I know we we got that but it was like wow. Um, so I just was reflecting on, you know, and sometimes it feels like overwhelming, but then just pointing back to the amazing things that are happening in the community support um, for the students. And I will say my husband was at the wrestling tournament, key volunteers to help
087out the classic. And so we're glad to take 28 wrestlers is back at the level that we when my kids were in school. So Tammy and I spent lots of years there. So um so it is amazing just to see and the students that placed really well and for those of you that don't know when you win classic your name goes in a book and it's there for um like they keep track of every year and so you can see if you place a lot. So it it's a pretty amazing accomplishment that we had that many um students placed that high in this. So >> thank you. I really already had my say. I mean, this is Thank you again for And please pass that on to the fifth graders and and the teachers and
088everybody that participated in that. You you look across the nation of the turmoil going on and and uh we're truly blessed here. And that doesn't happen because of us five. It happens because of all of us. That's the way I look at anyway. It's a full team effort and we're not ever letting up. And that's what's really cool about it. You know, gives me great joy and people think I'm crazy. It's like, oh, how's the school board going? I love it. Look forward to going every time. Makes me mad when I can't. So, it's uh they think I'm a screw ball because of that. But it's because of you, all of it. That's what we present. So, it's a great community and we're going to keep it that way. >> That's awesome. Thank you. >>
089Period. >> Just taste just teasing. That's awesome. >> Mhm. That is so cool. Oh yes. I am very pleased what my rivalry gets. I wouldn't shine >> to all the brides. No, thank you very much dinner and all this uh I feel like they feel as a board since I've been on here was getting started making a hire of a superintendent done a good job. So, it's made our job fair a lot easier than what I know that higher thinking. Thank you, Robin. And also one other deal is is I'd like to see everybody as far as the bond measure goes because there we haven't made any real decisions on on all we're talking about is a bond measure right now and as far as I'm concerned I am not going to support a bond
090measure for money th this bond measure we need to have it >> and be set in stone on what we want. So, I I kind of I'm this might be our next hardest part as board members deciding what we really need to do at this school. And I would like to see, you know, every all of us talk to people in the community, find out what they really want. um so that we can put out a bond measure that says we need this much and we're going to do this because if we're just going to have a bond measure that just oh there's magic money out there I myself will not support that. Um so I think we need to decide and and quickly too because we're talking November Robert. Yeah. >> Yeah. So, >>
091well, we want it to pass, like you said, >> short time frame to make a decision >> on that. So >> just something I wanted to put in everybody's ear >> and you know everybody that might be out there listening to us >> and I invite anybody to come to me or even you know you you may bring it up you know with the faculty because they're here every day just something >> no I totally agree I mean if we want it to pass we got to have buyin and it needs to be dialed of what we're saying we're doing and we got to do what we're saying we're doing. >> Yes, exactly. >> That's important. >> Anyway, and thanks. >> Can I add to that? >> A snake. Snake snake. It's a snake, >>
092said the peacock. I guess can we I I would love to know what the strategy is around I did have that down as well to ask about the um the bond in terms of what we do and um and what the next steps are and what are we having a committee or we how do we go about this? I just know my experience with one other school district how they went through it and I mean it was pretty intensive in terms of that getting things out. When you say hold really well, what do you mean by that? Does that include community members? Okay. So, yeah. No, thank you for sharing all that. And so, obviously we're Yeah, lots of conversations moving forward. Um, and just one more like housekeeping thing. What what schedule are we
093for? I know we detailed out like when we would have like executive sessions with Robert and I just completely lost track of where we are on the schedule for that. Yeah. Cool. Awesome. Just want to make sure we're doing what we said we would do. Um Yeah. Um I don't really have any questions right off hand. >> I guess I my question is really about the process. So again, is it you know should it be part of the regular agenda to be talking about it? Should it I I guess I would love to see like a pathway and if you're saying that you know they're recommending that we um not you know whatever that calendar looks like. Everybody like you know we formally do this this and this by this time or what didn't make
094the la the last meeting with SB James I but the other ones yeah we haven't had any conversation So, so then so in terms of next steps then do we get can we get like some sort of like calendar ramp up or can we get a conversation I don't know what's Yep. Right. Yes, that's correct. Yes. That's that's actually what Trac were talking about. It's like can we ask to have a a list of potential capital projects, repairs, upgrades, and costs by the next meeting. If that's reasonable. Okay. Wow, that's nuts. which was 6.1. Is that correct? Got you. what I'm thinking. Yeah. over here doing math. Um, any other questions or comments about that? About where we are with stuff? I mean, because we're, I think, moving on with scheduling, which we can certainly
095do outside of this meeting. Um okay. I will also just say um just want to thank the students for um the wonderful dinner tonight. That was amazing. And um for all the wonderful gifts and for thinking of us. That's super sweet and um gives us all the warm fuzzies. That's my generation. We grew up with worm fuzzies. They were like actual little fluffy critters. I don't know if y'all remember that. Okay. Um also, um just want to say that this coming weekend, um Janet and I will be involved. Um Friday I will be at the um Oregon School Board Association Board of Directors meeting um which is Friday night then extends into Saturday.
