001Okay, I want to I want to call to order the Glide School District budget committee meeting and this is Monday uh May 12th, 2025 and it's about 6:03. We are here in the high school library and first call order is to have the flag I aliance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Okay, so everyone's got their minutes. uh from the last uh budget meeting on uh on April 28th, 2025. Uh has anyone had a chance to do those yet or you guys want to take a few minutes? We need a motion to uh accept those amendments. Second. I'll make a motion that we accept those. Okay. As presented. Second. Second. Teresa seconds it.
002All in favor say I. I. Motion passes. The minutes are approved. Okay. Uh the next uh portion of this we're going to get uh uh find out some information that was requested and then we'll talk about some deliberations from Carol. Thank you. All right. So I'm going to pass out um a list of the questions that I received. Some of them were received at the last meeting and I I emailed some further information. So, um, we had a question. We had the question about the nutrition services C. So I just got a definition there so that you guys could see what that all meant and I did email that out to you guys. Um we had a question about real property assets and I did send that list out already. Was there any was there
003any questions about the questions on either of those topics? And then um I sent out the FTE by function code so that you could see where all our FTE is. I did general fund and special fund. And then we did receive um a question about the number of students in the school district and then break it down by school and um sped students receiving sped services. And so as of that day, um, we were at 750, 411 students at elementary, 118 at middle school, 221 high school. And then out of those, there's 134 that are receiving sped services, 77 at the elementary, and 57 at the middle high school. Um then we've re I received a question about I had mentioned that we only received 11,000 in the um force funds for the school year
004when normally we receive between 70 and 80. Um no we are not respect uh expecting to receive any more of those funds this year. We are hoping that um that's that secure rule rural schools act and we're hoping that's going to be reinstated but we do not know that yet. Um and then we had a question about what all the dues and fees are that the district pays. So you will see that um at the end of your packet. I went ahead and just printed out. It's uh object code 640. So I just pulled all those out of our software for this current year. So you can kind of look through that um as I'm talking, but I just kind of highlighted some things. So we have our uh professional organization memberships that um and
005these are just some of them that are listed here like there's one for business managers, KOSA is for superintendent principles, and then they each have an other categories um and then there's one for HR. And these are just things that um help us keep up to date with all of the changes as they happen constantly. Um and then we have athletics and activity affiliations. We belong to the OSAA, um the Far West League, and then of course we have all of the particip participation fees for sports, which actually have seen quite an increase in that. And I think it's because we're being able to um be involved in more activities that also includes music event fees. And then we also have fees like to for Amazon and Costco to belong to them. We have yearly
006membership fees. And then of course we have banking fees. So I don't know if you guys want a little bit of time to look over that list if you have any questions on that. Caroline, if I may. um the property assets. What does RMV stand for? It's real market value. Oh, so what I did is I went to then tax assessor site and you can zero into gliding and you can find all of our properties that way. And then moving on, um we were asked about what does the title 1A grant cover um specifically a teacher and or IAS currently um we are funding six IAS um from our title funds and then I did get some more detail from Tammy later in the day and so I didn't add it to your notes but
007I'll just read off some things. Um it also covers family engagement activities, um AR reading program, math batch program, curriculum and supplies, professional development for our IAS, summer school and kindergarten readiness activities for incoming students. And then there was a question on page 94 under the SIA which is fund 251 and specifically function 111 which is elementary regarding um what the salaries and associated payroll costs were. So currently we are funding um a music teacher and a PE teacher of our SIA funds and most of the payroll costs are listed out. So, it's like social security, Medicare, workers benefit assessment, workers comp, the paid family medical leave insurance, the PERS, and then I think the one that was probably caused the question was that in the past, um, it was just our music teacher and
008that music teacher was an opt out. So, on the 240 line, which is insurance benefits, there was quite an increase. And that's why because if you're an opt out, that's included in the salary. And if you're receiving insurance benefits, it will show up on that line 240. So it it costs more for somebody who's getting insurance insurance benefits versus an opt out. So that was why there was a large increase because um the music teacher we have now is opting into an insurance and then the PE teacher as well. And then there was a question on page 100 with function 1280 alternative education whose salaries are covered. So this falls under our high school success grant which is uh fund 252 and our high school success provides credit retrieval opportunities for students through alternative education
009and we offer all ed consistently throughout the day and after school tutoring daily. So that's what that salary is covers for that and then that is the questions that I received. So Give everyone just a few more minutes to look this over. Make sure no one's got any questions for the women testimony. So, a couple more minutes. I guess I got a question, Caroline. Um, we take the 20,815,000, you know, for the proposed uh for the budget this year, right? Is that the total amount? Yeah. And we divide that by 750 kids. That's about 27,700 a kid to educate them. Is is that up or down from last year? You remember that? Seems up a couple thousand kids. Does it seem about right? It's it's a very similar amount to last year. Um, I think
010it's better to look at general fund when you're looking at at per student though because um, you know, our special revenue funds are there specific uses. So, it would be better to take the general fund amount and divide that by student if you want. Okay. Question. I have a question on um, again you talked about the title one grant. And you said how many IAS six title teacher and six IA there is there's not enough money to have a title teacher as we have in the past. We used to have a title teacher and then less IAS funded but when the funding got decreased um then it was more affordable to do IAS. So we don't have a title teacher at this time. The house on Alexand has it always rented for that same amount.
011As far as I know, it raised it a little bit a few years ago. Not a lot. I haven't seen a house for that very long. Do we cover any of the utilities or those school district? The utilities are currently being paid by the um the renter. Okay. The only thing we pay are the property taxes right now. And you know, if there was any repairs, but we haven't had any repairs on it for quite a few years. Okay. Have one more question, maybe two. Not sure. Um, correct me if I'm wrong, but all the title programs, those are under federal. Is that right? They're not state allocated. It's federal money, but the state oversees it. So, it but it is federal federal money. Just throwing this out there. May not have an answer. Um
012I've been in contact with other um board members from other school districts locally um about having like a plan B just you know the whole federal money if it doesn't come to fruition to according to our district if we have any type of plan B I'm just I know you I'm just throwing it out I would just say currently from the things that I'm seeing I feel like our title one funds and our funds are fairly. I mean, it may be um not increase, but for right now, it sounds to me like those are going to be all right. Like they're secure. Mhm. Okay. So, we will move on. Anyone else has got any more questions? We got one more uh chance to do that uh after we take public testimony. So, we still got
013time to think. We still got time for those. So, uh we will now move into uh public testimony and see anyone's got written in or is anyone got uh anything to say about this? I will open it up for that. Seeing none, I guess we will uh we will move on to some more deliberations if anyone thought of any more questions or uh anything uh they would like to talk about in this section. So, we'll open the floor back up. Could you go over once again about the football lights, what that entail? So, um, what that is is it's going to be if the money comes through, um, it would be, uh, funded with SB Senate Bill $1149. And we would only be responsible for is it about 10,000? Little less than 10,000. And it's
014definitely something that we need to do. We still haven't heard. I think Carrie touched base um the other day, but we still haven't heard for sure on that funding. So, do you know what the amount was that you know? The total amount was right around $70,000 for the replacement. So, it would be about 60,000 that the grant would be covering. So, is it something that we have to give out the money first or do you So, yeah. How that happens is um like I like I mentioned at the first meeting uh that account is in the negative and it will continue to be until because we we get money monthly based on um our electrical bills and so that's how they do it. They don't like write us a check for that amount. We just
015they do every month. So we would pay it but then it would it's going to get reimbursed over time through that um monthly amount. I thought maybe Robert had something. Uh I I I got a couple things just just a couple things that are on my mind about uh about some stuff. But, uh, I think we really got to look at, uh, when we're looking at these budgets and trying to figure out when this bond comes due, we got to really think about a gymnasium or some extra space for these kids to be able to do indoor stuff. You know, we live in a a school a time of a school year where it rains and a lot of stuff happens and we are very short that and and we are short of that in
016a lot of different ways because of a 4-day week. And you know, we eat up a lot of time where you know, you can spread activities out because we start earlier, we end later. Uh, and I can tell you that that does make a difference on these kids cuz they cannot go home, eat dinner, and expect to do any homework if we don't provide a space for them to do activities after school so that they can get home and eat and do their homework because right now what happens a lot is they have to come back. They have to go home, come back uh to to uh to do that. And by the time they get off the bus and they're coming home, they there's no time to for for them to do their homework
017and that and that education at home is just as important as it is at school trying to get act, you know, trying to get through curriculum and get that stuff done. So, I just want to throw that out there to the board. uh that we feel that's you know to me that that personally that's something we need to look at coming up when this bond comes to and coming up with a plan. Here's um just wanted to say something about just bringing awareness to um a couple of um measures that are going on in the legislative uh uh right now that so I don't know if anybody's familiar with uh House Bill um 3365 Um so it's to um include a climate change curriculum bill that would force us to um put that language in
018core subjects. Um so there is a work session on 519. So um I would encourage anyone to submit testimony um push back as much as we can. This would significantly affect our budget. Um the other thing is Senate Bill um 916 which is to extend unemployment or insurance benefits to striking workers. Um that's something else that that's also um moving to a um a scheduled work session on 519. So I would just encourage everyone to these are things that could significantly affect our budget going forward. So Anyone else got anything to say? Okay. So, uh I think we now need a motion uh to approve uh the budget for the 20 26 20 25 2526. We're in 25. So, but for that school year Yeah. So, I will now entertain a motion. be one of
019us or does it have to be from the budget? We're all on the budget. You guys are all Yeah, I just could we vote on it later, too. My brain I move that we approve it as presented after. Okay. So the the motion would read uh I move that I uh it would read the budget committee for collide school district number 12 approve the budget for the 2526 fiscal year in the amount of 20,815,782 as presented and approved property taxes for the 202526 fiscal year at at the following u at the following approved tax rate general fund permanent rate 45037 per,000 of assessed value. Approve tax amount for the bond debt service to be levied in the amount of 1,50,000. Is there a second? I'll second. Okay. All those in favor say I. I. Approved.
020Uh the motion has passed and been approved. Um I guess we are now uh on to announcements and we will not meet the additional uh budget meeting on May 13th. That's not necessary. And then the budget hearing and adopted by the school board will be June 18th, 2025. And is there a motion to adjourn? I just want to remind folks to please reach out get testimony at work 59 so that we can save our future. I call this meeting a journ. Thank you. Thank you everyone for being here. I appreciate it. time in
