Sorry, Tracy's not here in person because of a family emergency and so is Dan there. Now, now Tracy heard me. Okay. Well, I'm going to start this uh meeting. Let's uh tighten this. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for it and justice for all. Okay, with that first wrap is the start of the budget hearing. Um, so really I'm calling the budget meeting to order. I don't see Dan or a representative here for that. So, I would like to move to Carolyn. Um, do you have anything to say about that? I just want to recap that we are um here to adopt

002a 2526 approved budget for 20,815,782. I don't have that right now. So, okay. Um this is also the time for public participation. No yellow card. They're kind of public, too. So, anything from how much trouble I'd say if I said the peanut gallery. Okay. Um, so I need a motion. No. What? Oh, that's for our meeting, not this meeting. Okay. Any other discussion? Okay. The budget hearing meeting is now closed. Welcome to the Glide School District School Board meeting. I call that into order. No, we're not going to clutch again. Um, we'll we'll we did such a good job with the flag. I think that u we can call that good. Um, communications of the board and review of agenda. Um, Robert's not here. So, um, but I have a couple I got two things.

003Um, just really to bring it out to an attention is I'm could be incorrect on this, but I believe our glide revitalization contract is I know it's up this year, but I believe we have to um respond to them or address the contract sometime in August. I know it it goes up in October, but we have to decide whether to if we don't do anything, it automatically renews. If we want to do something different, we need to let them know by August. So, we have this meeting and next andor any special meetings to get that resolved. So, I want to bring that to everybody's attention. Would you like to leave that to the July? Yes, please. Thank you. I believe the contract ends in July. Go ahead, John. Uh, do we have the actual contract,

004Jan? Could we bring that? Yes. So that we can review that and I think that maybe we can look at um like a signing of school board members or something. I have it somewhere special. If I can find it, I will scan it and get it spot. But we've got one at the top. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe all the boards. Okay. Tracy, you broke up. Um I was just going to say that I believe it's um expires next month and I know that Robert has a comment. Can you hear me? I think we have a little more time than next month, but okay. We'll we'll double check on that. I I'll get with Jan and we'll get that ironed out and uh exactly so we know the dates. Okay. Uh the other thing that

005um I want to bring up for the board is that uh our superintendent evaluation I think there's a milestone coming up in July. So we need to review that and make sure we're on top of the our game there. I think that also includes meeting with him to set up the evaluation um points. Okay, that's all I have for adding to the agenda. Anybody else? Put your other hand up. You ever been to an auction? You just bought a goat. Okay. All right. Moving on.

013and I just appreciate the respect and everything just Tracy, you have anything to add?

Thank you. Thank you. Uh that again brings great joy to me because not of just what through the past but you look at other school

014districts and stuff and to have it's tough. It's hard for everybody on on both sides and we don't want to take sides. we really promote a solid family here, but even siblings argue from time to time. But I'm I'm very glad to hear that it went well and that there was respect all the way around and um we're very lucky in this school district. I think we're we're this is great to be here. Okay, any other discussion? None. Hearing none. Seeing none, uh, we'll bring this to vote.

Yes. So, I do just want to reiterate this whole process, the budget process, the um

015negotiations, all of that was a very positive experience this year, and I'm very thankful for all the people who contributed to that. Um, and then as far as our our financial report, we're looking really good. We're actually right now sitting with a higher ending fund balance than I anticipated and that's partly due to when they take our actuals for the previous year. We actually did get some extra money that we didn't anticipate. So that always helps and that also helped um allow us to be able to give a little bit more to our people than we originally thought. So I'm thankful for that. Great. That's all I have for tonight. Thank you. individual board members. Let's start with the atlarge one. Tracy, do you have anything to add? Um, not really. I'm sorry everyone. I'm

016sure everyone knows that my mom just passed away from up in Wachi and I actually got to leave in just a minute to go to a planning meeting for her going to be up here writers. So, okay, that's all I have right now. Sorry. All right, take care. Janet, I um I just want to really call out um having gone through graduation again. Um what an amazing group of students that we have applied and the opportunities of the dancer and scholarship. It's just for you just sitting there thinking about and I went through a couple other uh graduations and and folks who know that you know this district is very level for the students and we're really and all of the effort that went into planning senior trip and all of the things I've had

017really positive response to that and just sitting there just in awe of all of those students and I really I don't know whose idea was it, but I always cry at those videos and then just love this time that it was student voices. And so I actually have taken that and we're going to use it for our next conference because we did videos, but I'm like, "Oh, it'd be cool to actually have, you know, do more than that." Anyway, I love that. I thought it was a great addition. Um, I also want um to shout out again to Caroline and her team for all of the work for the budget and the process and gave their time to look through everything. Um, having Tracy and I sat on the OSD budget committee and I was

018that was a different experience. I mean, it was quick and fast, but I was like, um, so this was um I just really appreciate and Um, I also want to just shout out to every all of the end of the year activities that were happening and how much work that was and um I know everybody to breathe um and so but um energy that went into that. So just a a huge shout out on that was an amazing school year just really want to John. Yeah. I would uh like to congratulate the 2025 graduation move on and do something productive and maybe they'll think of us a little hoping and I'd also like to uh hope everybody has a great summer vacation wonderful No, I know some of you have to work all year. I

019hope the teachers everybody has great time. I hope the kids do too. Get in a little bit of trouble, not a lot. Hope everybody had a great summer vacation. I did uh you know lobster is a different it's not like crapping over here. You can't just go do it. You have to uh like the commercial guys got it all wrapped up. We did go out on a lobster boat and catch some lobster. But we had to turn them back. It was just a tour boat. I couldn't find a commercial guy to go out with. I would have worked free if I could have. But I will tell you, you can buy lobster. They bring them in and I sent three to my mom and they were there within they sent them one day and they're

020there the next afternoon in 24 hours. Get lost. Well, it sound like a broken record, but yeah, graduation was fantastic. listening to what the kids said. I I wish it I don't Is Was that recorded at all? Because I I wouldn't mind listening to that again. Some of the specific things that they said about their time at school. Um that uh yeah, I have a hard hard time not breaking down there. it because whether how much we're we're part of that I'm not entirely sure but I felt like we're doing something right at least we're going down the right way. So uh that was um very heartwarming to hear um that the the changes that school has undergone is uh they've changed too so and seem to be appreciative and it's good for them uh

021or they they they liked it. So that's what's important. We're here for the kids. So um and John, thank you for arranging again for um I don't know of any other school district where the board gives out something to each and every graduate. So that's that's just great. I will say I have one part that said probably shouldn't tell the kids um like make sure you keep this. It's uh worth it. It says a dollar right on it. I know. But just for them to like understand what it was, I I I talked to one and and they had to explain it to take a piece of silver and keep this. Anyway, that was Well, that's good. I mean, we're we're we have a triangle, right? We have the student, we have the teacher, and

022we have the the parents. And that that education triangle should should be right in there. So, Uh, it seemed like there was something else, but no, we can just be done. So, anybody else have anything? Open mic time. Got a good song. I will say I will I Car's not here. I thought he did a great job. I thought he it was right. I understand that was his first one too. So, yeah. Tammy. Yeah. I just want to remind everybody that summer school will start at the elementary school on July 7th. It's four days a week till the July 31st. Our team's eagerly preparing for our little people to come back. So I have four teachers who well five teachers that Can I get that in writing? I already have it in writing. So my

023grandson there will be um free breakfast and lunch available for the community during that time also. So just well you know where I am if we get out of control but I will not be calling you hilarious. How many How many kids do you normally get on a you know daily basis? Normally it's 70 to 80. Holy cow. Wow. Trying to get smart, isn't it? Or Mrs. Sprag has been our um lead teacher for that for the last several years and she's really like honed that down to a science. It's we have um partnered with Drive. They're bringing out bicycles and doing a bicycle study for our third through fifth graders. So teaching them how to ride their bikes. They're going to do a pedestrian study. Healthy kids outreach is coming and doing some health

024lessons. OSU extension office is doing some science things with us, too. And then we'll have a garden also. And then lots of steam activities are going to go up to low pond and explore the earth around us here in Glide. But lots of fun things happening. So, well, we're personally looking forward to that. I think that'll be very good for helping him make the right choices. Well, I think to that point, I I don't know that the community really gets a chance to see how much has been done with the elementary school. So, my niece come to find, you know, back. She's been gone for, you know, she graduated from Western Oregon. She's been gone for a while. Haven't seen all these developments. She's like, I'm going to take Dallas on the playground. And she's

025like, holy smokes. Like, I can't believe all this stuff. Yeah, I do. So, it was it was impressive. So, I just want to acknowledge that and give you and the team credit for all of that because it's it's pretty amazing. Our fire science guys uh just a controlled burnout from our nature trailer area also cleaned up some areas for our chemist before and then took out some blackberries for us and they have a plan for the fall. So shout out to Mr. Shaw for arranging that. It was super nice to have Clyde high school students that went to the elementary coming and they wanted to come in and see their teachers too. So it was super cool. Really cool. Okay. Something feels wrong. We're at at 29 minutes. So, we'll call it if anybody's got

026anything else. Meeting is adjourned.
