001One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Two things. Thank you all for coming. Secondly, is uh apparently we're having some IT issues. I think that's that guy over there. Anyways, anyways, so your stuff will not be displayed on there, so you'll have to rely on your phone or whatever or certainly ask any questions. Oh, and I apologize. I did not get here early enough to eat, so I'll be eating. >> Motion to approve the agenda as presented. >> Second. Go. Motion second. Any discussion? Hearing none. [snorts] >> Motion car 5. Johnny had to leave. So we're okay. No public comments >> elementary school. Sure. Council that parent teacher conference format continues to be I think positive for us. I mean we've always had strong attendance regardless of the format but
002you can see overall we're 90% attendance. Um the teachers like this format just because it gives them a little more time and um extra work on that whole day if their slate isn't full. So, that's nice. >> Um, if you didn't I don't know if those links worked on the document there once you were in the box, but we are a title one schoolwide building at Burlington Elementary. So, we have a lot of tasks that we have to complete as part of that funding stream. And so, one of the tasks is to give a survey to our teachers. We also have a parent survey that we're compiling now. you can see kind of the teacher input and if you happen to glance at that um and you'll kind of see the same you know what
003came out of site council you know building talking about wanting that support for MTSS every teacher that filled that out it's like we could use another child teacher in our building I mean there's always needs there um you know we have great people in those positions but um we always you know teachers just want to help kids as much as they can that's I I think true about you know a lot of teachers and so in a dream world can we have more support people in our staff absolutely because there's always a lot of need but overall some of your feedback there and I'll share the parent results once we have that completed so probably next month and other than that I talked a little bit about the preschool pre-enrollment so we're looking at a
004large pre class I would anticipate in the fall and our four-year-old class a little bit smaller. We are planning to we usually do a screening day, one in the spring, one in the summer, but we're planning to actually extend that and do two in the spring. So, we have our eyes on those kids a little earlier. So that'll be something we work is going through that part and just get people called and scheduled on that screening for this spring because that kind of helps us anticipate what special edification needs we may see in the following school year. So we'll be working on that coming up. And then the last thing um real quickly our 21st century request for proposal is very near completion. been doing weekly zooms with our grant writer and he is working
005the final details of our budget um this week. So hopefully all have a final draft preview on Wednesday or Thursday that has to be submitted to the state department and receipt in their hands by the 24th. Um so that's in its final phases. Um so any questions for me? >> How much larger that three-year-old class than what it's now? Like so this year our class is probably off the top of my head like we have some overflow of four year olds and three year olds this year. Um so we probably I mean I would say were I mean it's it's hard. So like I think we have like 31 kids right now that did that preschool preform and that didn't count any identified kids because they don't need to do it because they automatically have
006to stop. So I would say we're pushing the capacity at 40 now. Um probably right now in that three-year-old class, I mean there's probably that's going to go up to 40 year old is probably about 30 some. It's just that because we don't have community options or as many. So two things have happened. Number one, Ringo's been closed. Number two, um Trinity's model is different than like >> other people and they've changed it because I used to do it when Tina was there and then a couple years after like I think three year olds went two days a week and four year olds went three days a week and their sessions were shorter [snorts] and so some people just don't like that. Um now I think they do like a combined three and foury old
007session and maybe it's three days a week. It's it's different because they have different instructor. Um so you know there's less capacity in our community. So when we reach full I mean even like this year I like for example like a month ago when somebody moved into our community they're like my daughter wasn't preschool where we're at and want to start her I'm like we don't we don't start kids in the middle of the year like we fill her special needs. Um and they're like but she likes school and I said I understand that but we don't take kids in the middle of the year like our our slots are full. Um so like I mean I just think like it's kind of the decision point and budget impacts that like is there enough to
008open up another section and that might eb and flow. Is it going to be threeyear-old or fouryear-old or is it just like this is our capacity and you know people are going to have to seek preschool services elsewhere or those kids aren't going to get services um and that's kind of where >> Okay, I appreciate that. I think that's a little bit what Johnny was asking with rainbows in. I wonder what >> Well, once the school year starts really you won't know Well, you really won't know until the school year starts. You just got to guess right now. So, >> right. I would say like for the most part, you know, like so we really also can't award our slots until >> closer to the school year. So, you know, James like you know from
009experience like we're we can't award those slots because we're prioritizing certain criteria. Some people choose to make other decisions, but for the most part, I would say people that get on our list, they expect to get a slot and are planning to come to us. Now, there might be two to three a year that say, I might have to make different arrangements because I can't wait anymore. You know, we might lose a kid or two for a year or so. Um, but I I do think with that change, the community capacity is going to to be something where we I mean like I need to talk to like so we have kind of like the history of preschool has changed in Burlington over time. We used to take now district kids then we took out
010our district kids something and then now we're back to taking out district kids but like if we are like if the capacity of our in district kids is filling us up it might have to go back to our district as at the preschool level and we have to wait till kindergarten like that might need to be a decision that we make so that we're making, you know, to serve our own population first and we can look at those kids because we have more capacity once we get to kindergarten because [snorts] we have three sections. >> So that is my next question. So what I and I don't remember what the proposal was in the new school bill, how many preschool kids could we take? I think we still have like we had three rooms but
011like again we only have two teachers so that wasn't we might have space for an extra section >> budget question. >> How many out of district kids on average do we have >> I would say I mean I'd say off the top of my head this year I would say at least five or six. I should >> I feel like we used to get that at kindergarten but we opened that up like we the last couple years we need more at that level and [clears throat] >> also open enrollment like once you're in you're in so like if you're worried about us not having enough capacity people have kind of figured out like it's smarter earlier >> and makes sense >> okay thank you um parent teacher conferences again very successful 74% of our parents
012participated [snorts] um one piece of feedback that that I had received from a parent I believe it was last week is sometimes they do feel like they're pushed out the door a little bit and so it's it's having the teachers um and something that we're going to talk about is is those kids that we know may need two sessions let's go ahead and try and get them pencled in and see what we can move around at that point in time. So maybe a little bit more proactive communication with parents saying, "Hey, uh, Susie, I we really probably need you for two sessions. Would 5:00 at this time work?" And just go ahead and preschedu those. >> Would that be all at once? >> What's that? >> Stack it together? >> Yes. Where we put two
013sessions back to back for that that specific parent. >> You would have an idea kind of that kid is going to need more time. >> Yes. Teachers are absolutely going to should have a pretty good idea. Okay. >> Yep. Um overall middle school basketball wrapped up very well both seventh and eighth grade uh league champions. Um I think again it goes to show kids that are involved in activities. Now this we will include the other activities towards the end of the year. Um again all of our fall activities um we're all in the distinguished [clears throat] category based upon what the case requirements are. Um, a big change next year that I mentioned a little bit earlier is moving away from the computer applications class. Um, which Lee and I actually met with Mrs. Vanderpool
014who will teach the business essentials class. Uh, we've we've [clears throat] we're going to provide her the resources that she needs as well as this time for any type of curriculum work that she would be paid for. So [clears throat] we get away from just the the one uh pathway to when we change to the business essentials, we open up four different pathways when students at high school. So I think that will be a a good way to expand some of the opportunities for our kids within pathways. Uh dodgeball for art again uh very well set a little over $7,000 um there. And then there's quite a few of individual awards um from the of the American Revolution that will move on. I will keep you updated as they they progress through that. And then
015something that is not in there that is that was just approved last Thursday. Um, as you're aware, we a couple years ago we changed our middle school seasons where we separated uh girls wrestling where they could they could dual sport, they could do basketball and that. Well, we separated that a couple years ago as a league. And those of you that had middle school girls, basketball seasons like that, three games a week, they don't have a lot of practice time. Uh Mr. Wilson and the AD from Iola spent a lot of time on this. Um and we are now going to be a lot more equal with our kids. Um so for example, girls and boys basketball will have 33 practices, 14 games of meets, 48 days of the length of season. Um, and so
016that will allow our girls to only have two competitions a week rather than, well, we're going to kind of give you this day off because we have three games this week and the last week, by the way, you're going to play five. Um, and so Mr. Wilson's done a lot of work on that uh to get that changed and that will also allow us to go out and get a non-league game as well for our girls basketball team. Um and so that change is as we know is is very much needed. Uh boys and girls wrestling will be be very similar in seasons also. Um and we will be able to add some non-league schools uh to attend wrestling. Mr. Wilson's already been on top of it. Uh reached out to employee already uh to
017try and get a match with them also. And so our wrestling are those those four seasons specifically, boys and girls basketball, boys and girls wrestling are more equivalent and pretty pretty equal in those days of practice and competition. And so I Mr. Wilson's done a ton of work with that. That's that's been been very good. >> [clears throat] >> Uh the only thing that will occur is the last week of girls basketball and the first week of boys practice. That first week will overlap. And so Taylor has already visited with coach Ectton that they may have to practice some in the morning. It just kind of depends. If we have an away competition, then they would be able to practice in the afternoon after school. It could also be possibly just visiting with the wreck
018saying, "Hey, we don't want to impede all the time, but could you help us out this first week?" And so, uh, that that work has been done and it it needed to be done. Um, because our and then our our our time span in between the last girls sport and track is more equal to boys also. So, if you recall, >> ginormous amount. >> Yeah. I appreciate the work Taylor put in because >> as a girl mom like I hated the inequality of the the you know opportunity there. So I I appreciate that he put in that work to >> so it's been it's been a work in progress and and that's the thing is we are one voting member of our league and so when we bring it it actually it passed forward two.
019Um Wellsville and Prairie View were the two against it. Um, Prairie wanted to go into the substate week with some different things. We're like, we we need to be done with the seasons before substate occurs. So, we'll give it a shot this next year and then, [clears throat] >> you know, make the tweaks that that need to happen for it to be more equal across the board. >> Question question. So, uh, good work on that. Uh, pathways, you know, I think that was great that you explored the four pathways now for the high school. Is there other pathways that scoring also. >> So that's what Mr. Baldwin and I talked about is is um I don't know that much about path. I've learned a lot more. >> Um but intro to ad could be a
020class possibly. Um and so just looking at those classes at the lower level so when they get to the high school they're able to >> I just think make these kids more excited to kind of do some stuff. So anyways, good good work on that. So [clears throat] >> So anything else for Matt? I think to step back to guard on one thing and I and >> maybe is it is so when you have bees as three students that are on the ESOL program is that English okay >> I because I didn't ever read it English speaker of other languages so okay I just wanted to clarify that it wasn't a different program >> okay you know Okay. Uh just a couple quick quick things. Um we've had quite a few interviews for different positions
021over the last three weeks on here. We talked about our PD. We had a very strong applicant pool. It was it was a pool where it was actually it was hard to not interview some of the candidates that we had that applied. It was a it was an applicant pool that was very strong and we interviewed six people. did a pretty thorough interview and had a diverse team of people on those for that interview and came away with someone that feel really strongly about. Parent teacher conferences we had 93% attend over the two days which was better than in the fall which typically the fall was better than the spring. So not quite sure how that happened but it did. based off of our data uh the first evening was actually had more people attend
022than on Friday when we had actually more time during that [clears throat] day on Friday. So I don't know if it's just coming in after work, coming in after school and getting it done on a Wednesday versus a Friday and it being all day. I'm not quite sure about that, but that's that's more data I'm going to look into and see how we can I wouldn't say spread out our attendance, but not So bare on Friday afternoon. So that was some interesting data there. February uh we completed our our testing day which is a pretty big day for our for our kids. Our freshman went to Flint Hills Tech uh for clear career exploration. Sophomores completed the ASVAB test and juniors did the ACT and then our seniors worked on their exit portfolios um for
023English. So that was a pretty big day on February 24th. Mrs. Bolan does a phenomenal job coordinating all that and just organizing everybody and where all of our teachers need to go to help and who's going with the freshman to Flint Hills Tech. So, it's a pretty big day for our school and um it takes a lot of people going in the right direction and helping each other out. It wouldn't work if we didn't have that uh teamwork. Our awards assemblies, that's probably one of my favorite things to do in our building. just continue to put that in here and just it's a good way to honor our kids uh through teachers nominating them for student of the month. They get their picture taken. They get a certificate. They get to meet the the two
024different agencies that donate that money. Um it's just a really good way to uh create some positivity and energy um with a with an assembly where it's focused just on uh different students and the awards that they've received throughout the month. Uh so we'll do one this Thursday and we'll do the same type of format, but just anybody that's anybody that's done anything positive that [snorts] needs recognized in our building. I think it's a big idea. It's a really big thing to honor our kids for a multitude of different things. Um, typically you'll do that at a pep assembly once every couple months, but we do this the every month and it's kind of starting a tradition in our building and uh, usually we do it the first Monday of the of the [snorts] month,
025but it didn't work out this one, but it's one of my favorite things to do in our building each month. Uh, skip down activities and see if we have any questions for >> really. How are they nominated? Is it by like staff or is it by like their peers or >> the students are nominated strictly by the staff? >> So if they win it's by the staff and part of our BLT conversations we're constantly trying to hey is this the way we want to do this? Is there a different format for next year that we would like to do? Uh but this this year it's been nominated by staff members and then when I conduct those um you know I call the parents say hey your your kiddos got nominated would you like to come
026in and hand them a reward and we had parents do that last time. So it's you know it's it's a way to promote positivity and that positive behavior focus that we've tried to do in our building this year. So um some may say it's not a lot, some may say it's too much, but I feel like I thoroughly enjoy doing that every month and just getting getting to see some kids honored for different things than you would typically see at a pep facility. So, it's just >> I think it's great. >> It's something that's really worked for our building this year. Um, in February, um, [snorts] we conducted a professional development day with first and second year teachers where I took them um, I took our first and second year teachers to Ottawa. Contrary to
027popular belief, we do do mentoring stuff for our first and second year teachers. So, um our first and second year teachers went with me to Ottawa and they observed um a teacher in their content area uh for three hours and then they also observed Ottawa does a a power hour very similar to ours. If you're familiar with our high school, we have a unique setup over lunch that's not typically you you see at a lot of schools. So, I I think it was important for our teachers to see how a different school operated and did theirs. And we're making some adjustments to ours based off of the needs of our teachers and our students. So, really tried to hit home with our first and second year teachers to go observe other schools, see what they're
028doing. And then, uh, we came back and had a meeting and reported what what we saw, what went well, what didn't went well, and then what we can do moving forward to, uh, continue to improve with them. um activities and athletics. I won't read all these things word for word. Um but obviously, you know, all of our different programs have had different success over the course of the last month. Um you know, if there's any questions about those particular activities, I'm willing to answer some of those. I didn't want to read word for word on all of those, but if you've been asking any questions, we'll be glad to answer that. >> Um the art You said, you know, we'd love for them to present to board members. I think that >> Yeah. Yeah. That
029we will and Miss Spangenberg does a fantastic job with our art department. Yeah. That that would be something that if you guys would like, we'd more than happy to bring our kids down here and show them their work and we had some students that got honored. >> Yeah. So, yeah, we can definitely get on that. And yeah, a lot of good things in our art program right now. So I feel like our school does a really good job of giving an opportunity to every kid in a multitude of different areas. So it's some really good stuff there. So any questions for me? >> Thanks for that report. Really good the awards thing. I kind of like that part too. Just seeing the kids all you know and Miss Spain. She really does a great job.
030She got the National Honor Society now >> for the art deal. It's a big deal. >> And then uh the the kid win. I mean that was from last year. I think they started that last year, right? This year >> that's been that's continuing >> and uh we have a couple kids that >> Mr. Brun thinks can qualify for nationals and nationals is in Wisconsin this year. So we actually just talked about this year or that today and got a couple kids we think that could qualify for that and make that journey up to Wisconsin to do that. So, you know, it's just it's very impressive to have this many opportunities for our kids in a school this size. You you just don't see that. >> Well, I can speak for myself, but I think
031this board supports all of those programs. I think it really makes our kids thrive. >> Yeah. You you just don't see a lot of schools this size have the opportunity like a kid win. It's just >> very rare. So, you might visit with Mr. Marshall early if you're talking about if you think a couple might go to Nashville so you can get some stuff worked out. Yeah, we talked about that today and once that gets announced, yeah, we'll definitely get that done because they would actually leave, oddly enough, the day of graduation. So, some logistics to work through there. >> So, so can I have one thing that I didn't I forgot to add to my board report. >> Oh, yeah. >> Your time. >> It's not your time. >> It it was talked about
032a little bit earlier in the the site council and Matt has brought it up too. So we talked about different pathways and there was some wording that was brought up about completers >> just not sure how if everybody understands all those things. So essentially what we did with the business essentials class is that is an introductory level class to four different pathways. When you have all these different pathways the goal is to actually have the kids complete the pathways >> which means you have to take three different level classes in there. You take an intro class, an applications class, and then a completer class. It looks good offering all these things, but if you don't have kids actually completing them, it just looks cool on a piece of paper, right? >> So offering business essentials
033at the eighth grade level gives our kids more opportunities to actually complete these pathways. >> And for the first year probably won't do that. But again, when I took our first and second year teachers over to Ottawa and we went to those elected based classes, those kids were talking about, man, I want to complete this class. and not just like complete it with a grade but actually get the certificate that says I've gone through [clears throat] and completed this pathway and that school is very impressive that these kids have been trained on these things and they actually understand hey [clears throat] this is what this means if I actually complete this class so offering this small change would give our kids more opportunities and not just a business pathway but our foods pathways as well
034so it's our family consumer science so it's offering our kids more opportunities to complete higher level classes and then it's going to be our job at the high school to see which ones are those they are taking and then how can we start getting more kids to actually complete that pathway um offering the pathway and not completing it. You know, like I said, looks good on a piece of paper, but we didn't have a lot of completers because >> they're all business essentials wasn't offered at the at the eighth grade level. So you have about you have about a third of each graduating class are pathway completers which is >> a good amount for those who are not >> collegebound. You know one thing we heard from the alumni is that they enjoyed the pathways
035but sometimes what it taught them the most is what they didn't want to do. >> That's what I was going to ask many of them didn't complete change their mind on like hey this isn't really what I want. Yeah, but doing that introductory class in 83 gives them the opportunity to change their mind and get into a different one if that's >> it can't hurt, >> right? >> This it can't hurt. So, in a year or two, if it doesn't help, then we'll re-evaluate and see what else we can do. So, >> I appreciate just looking at that, >> Mr. Spring. >> Okay, Mr. So, so one thing that that we've been doing this year, Darla and I went to to Pit State and we went to Pit State and then also um ESU is
036is one we were able to um this fall recruit a student teacher to high school ELA. Um and then from Pit State, we brought in two people to interview. Um unfortunately, they went back to their hometown. Um and so it has been successful and as we're talking to kids that we it's more like a meet and greet in the fall and then in the spring it's the interview piece like they remember us and they come talk to us and uh we were completely >> schedu >> so us going I know we're out of the building but going and and just talking to kids and we got some actual swag that um the kids kids want and remember us >> and so [clears throat] that has been that has been pretty successful I think >> I'll
037add on there too that Um, not only did Matt and I go to have full days when we went to state the other day, but I had several PPS school and we had I had several people that stopped and said, "I tried to get on your schedule, but it was already booked." So, we had more people than we had slots for. And um, we're going to see we're we're seeing the benefit of being at PDS school um because even as we interview people that, you know, I haven't met that like they're like such and such says your school's a great place to be. So, I do feel like, you know, the deposits are getting our bucket like Burlington is getting named as a place that people want to student teach or we're on the radar
038for hoping to land a job. Um, so I think that's really I mean, we did feel like it was really positive for you last weekend. There definitely is um definitely when we were at Pittsburgh even people like we have talked to you before. So, I think that is >> I think you mentioned before all the wine was lined up these other >> and and I'll just add the student teacher we have >> we actually interviewed for a position today and the selling point for him to get him down here to student teach was if you do a good job you got first dibs on this. So that that was really a selling point for that. So feel like this could be a pretty good opportunity for us to hire somebody from that that's already been
039here for four or five months and understands the school. So >> very good. Anybody else? >> Lindsay, can you read any of that? >> So I just wanted to point out some information that I put on there. Um because as we know we're going into some financial but you know looking at it from a district level stance on money. Um there's a state law that's in effect that says that the state will fund special education at 92%. They have not done that in a long time. Um due to some other issues like our we have lower enrollment that's going to take a hit on us but also the fact that we're not they're change looking to change the funding formula. We're going to have new leadership within the state um both at the state level
040and of education and governor. We also are legislators not super pro public education. Um there's concerns about money in the future. Um so if you have the opportunity um to know what that really affects. That's what I gave you. Basically we are currently funded at 67% of excess cost. So not the 92% but at 67% which means that we are funing $436,000 out of our general fund to support special education. So, um if you need a point to uh raise to your legislators and that that's that's a major one. Um you know, I've got everybody's from the state. You can I can share that with you, but it really impacts our general fund. If we could put $430,000 back in our general fund. So, >> so that No, I don't have all the uplifting part
041of it, but it's the reality to where we're at and where we're apparently [clears throat] going um in terms of special education. So >> So [snorts] if you want to send a note to your legislator, reach out to me. She's got all their emails and stuff. So >> yeah, I'll help >> I'll help draft it. I got a budget a button that says fully fund spent if you want that. So >> So you go ahead and make one for everybody. >> Okay. Good. Good. >> Did you just do a presentation somewhere? >> I did. I just presented at the winter [snorts] um administr special ed administrators conference went really really well. Had some really good feedback. So, >> you're going to do it for us. >> Um I mean if you want to I can
042um I love a microphone and I love the stage. So you just let me know what you want the presentation on. >> Longer. >> Give me a time frame. >> Good. Thanks. And I saw the the uh the hires are really kind of pulled up. >> We're in a pretty good position right now. Um and have like to get one at the middle school. We have an interview that's going to be set up this is set up for this week. So might be able to pull that one in. We are getting late and if and if things hold true to form after spring break is when we'll start to see a decline again. Typically people start finding summer work or things like that. But we'll just see. We have also have a lot of people
043who really want really good. So, >> cool. Thank you very much, >> Greg. You're up. Don't talk about tonight. >> I show you. >> We'll uh u just quickly, I mean, you can read my report. >> Uh just wanted to say that the scheduling in the new system is going well uh at the high school and Maddie at the middle school started on it today. Uh we're getting ready for summer bids. Those will be presented to you in April uh for our summer technology improvements. I do want you to be aware of a a bill that is in the legislature right now. Uh it's kind of a interesting or scary bill. I don't think it will pass. I I hope enough legislators are uh levelheaded enough to see that there are a lot of flaws
044in it, but um the uh we all know that they're on technology too much, but the new bill that's been introduced would uh eliminate all technology from K through five or K through six. and uh then middle schoolers an hour a day and then high schoolers 90 minutes a day. You know, I can't imagine what it would be like for one of our high school teachers to say, "I need the computers today." So, uh uh social studies and math get it today. in English, you're just going to have to wait and do papers on another day >> to come up to to purchase books because there's even a fiscal note in the in the bill that KSD doesn't know how much it would cost to go to a paperbased assessment seat at [clears throat] the
045elementary level. So, >> yeah. So, it's kind of scary, but it is out there. So, uh, uh, and it goes back to local control. You know, local school boards should be making those decisions. Um, so anyway, that's out there. >> Um, but you can read the rest of my report. There's a lot of great things happening in the classroom with technology. Um, so any questions? >> No. Thank you, Craig. Anybody else? >> Thank you. Okay, I'm gonna hit on Lindsay's information. Hit that number. >> $436,700. >> Yeah, it's general fund money to fully fund special education at 92% which is the legal obligation. Even if they cut from 67%. Even if we just went to 92% that's 25% difference. So if they would just cut that in half, we could get another 218,000 approximately that
046could go into general fund, increase teacher salaries. You get the idea. It's a real number. Anyway, I'll stop there. Um there's a number of different uh videos there take about 10 minutes to watch total uh from COI and Stacy Brutin. So again, just information again following up on curriculum leadership institute. Again, the the work that our staff and our administrators do with is just tremendous. The alignment we have here is excellent in terms of curriculum. So, there's some information there. You can look at those videos at your at your leisure and uh if you have any questions, feel free to ask. Nice to >> see their prices. >> Yes. Yes. You'll notice that a number of the contract approvals and appointments coming up here. And then there's a whole list of information. I want to
047focus again on our strategic plan because that's really that's my main focus as your superintendent and you know continuing on with the with Donald new superintendent that's really the focus of what your superintendent uh you know uh is is kind of you know on top of and so again recruitment and retention very very important there's a whole list of things there in terms of recruitment and retention and things that we've done we I want to emphasize we we have done in the district uh over the years and you can see the salary increases You can see the increase in hourly wages for paraprofessional starting salaries have increased, our benefits have increased, so on and so forth. Um, you know, the improvements of facilities uh are again very very important to recruiting uh new people into
048um you know our district. The earth's center is very helpful. We have seven staff members that take advantage of the belt. Um if they didn't have child care, they might not come here. It's possible that you know the belt be a bigger, you know, part of what we do in the community in the future, not only for us, but maybe employees in the city, county, you get the idea. Wolf Creek, all the big uh big big entities that can always use, you know, good employees and excellent child care. So, again, there's a lot of things that we've done and if there's any other areas that we need to continue to work on, we will continue to work on because that strategic plan is a very important part of what we do. And one other additional
049good news here. Um Lexi Maloto, former daycare director, and Lacy Johnson and myself, we have worked on a grant through the Jones Trust Foundation. We just found out, was it Friday? I think it was Friday we found out we got the grant. We got a grant for $78,000 for scholarships for the next three years for kids that are in need. And uh in terms of being help able to help out um we we started out uh we did this grant for half of that um but in a three-year time period past three years we basically well I guess the five years we're almost five years we're going to have a fivey year anniversary for the belt coming up in Jan in June. Um but we tripled the number of kids. So, we went from 13,000
050um we we we upped our game a little bit with this grant and the Jones Trust came back with $78,000 worth of grant money for these next for the next three years to help with scholarships and tuition for those in need. So, again, big big deal there. They can help out with our families and helping with with the the fees that the fees are assessed for their kids attending the Bel. And that's all I have. Any questions? >> Was that in our What? >> It's in my report. >> Excuse Excuse me. It was not because we found out Friday and we submitted >> Okay. I was say I have not seen it on my >> We found out Friday. >> Yes. >> Since we all get to go back and talk now. Um something I
051forgot and I don't remember this but I have reached out to Britain um the KSB to do strategic planning for the co-op only. So I'm meeting with him this week to look at what that might look like. Um, and the other thing I wanted to say is that it's on the CLI front. So, uh, we went to the KISSA accreditation team meeting and, uh, we were the only one that focused on literacy and not on, um, standards alignment. And it was amazing when we sat there and listened to where they were at in the standards alignment process, [snorts] how far ahead of the game that we were because of our work with CLI. So, I just want to say like and I and that's not going to meet because I don't do any of that
052work, but I will just say it was extremely noticeable at that meeting with three other districts how far ahead of the game we are here because of our work with >> Thank you very much. >> I think on Yeah, this recruitment and retention, you know, Donald has some really great ideas that I'm excited about because it was already been brought up twice now I think tonight where we've lost either a new hire recently or we've lost an intern that didn't take on a job here and all because they wanted to go back home. So we I mean part of her idea and I don't you know we'll see what happens if you know the board all supports it but um is focusing on recent graduates focusing on those that came from this area that came
053from USC 244 and not only here but then have come from um you know SEC and um Lebo Waverly. So, um, you know, most likely they have family here. They know what the community is like. They know what the area is like living here. And so, focusing on getting those kids back. Um, you know, I know we recently lost one that had applied just we didn't get back with them in time and but I really would like to yeah, have our focus be there of getting our local kids back if they want to come back. >> We interviewed one at state that graduates in December is >> that [snorts] you need to recruit two singles so they can get together. We also have one cover as longterm right now. >> Thank you so much. >>
054Anything else there? >> Okay, so we move on to board reports. You have the information that Craig has submitted. Anybody have any questions on that? >> There's a lot of information on the elementary school and Darla and I had a meeting today with Brian Fenler from account um Mike Patrick also from account board and Clark Simpson from GMC and architects Darla and myself and so you have some information there documents you have the bees facilities results that's the survey that we put out and there's some information there um I don't know if you have any questions you want to start there with that if you have any questions uh we have looked over survey information. Darla, Darla, please chime in any time here. Um, you know, we had over 20 22 total responses and [snorts]
055so we got quite a bit of information. They are a cross-section of a lot of different people. Um, but you can see that information. I'll just stop and listen to any questions you might have, any comments. >> Well, I appreciate you getting the numbers back on the renovation budget cost breakdown and I think that's something the community certainly wanted. >> Absolutely. And I think that uh we need to focus on being able to get that out here sooner than later [clears throat] to create some talking points about that. So, >> and Darla, chime in if you have anything else you want to add. Um, >> just we need to know I guess what you guys are thinking the next step is >> Well, I think next meeting. I don't know what these guys, but so
056um the community has asked we I mean they had the questions when we had the meetings and so we kind of have put some of those questions together and Christie has done a lot of work on that also. Um so we need to focus on that and then be able to provide that feedback to the community because that's what they're wanting. Uh because if you see the surveys there a lot of unknowns there. they have a lot of people that says unknown or I haven't can't decide yet etc or whatever. So we need to focus on those hidings that we need to get out and you know that this one here was one of them that they really wanted to know what that's cost us. Uh conceptual drawings I mean we we've kind of redone
057some stuff there. >> Um >> I did share with you there is a drawing in there from I want to say version 1.0. This was before we came on board with about any construction management companies and that was an idea that looks similar to I want to say Burlington Middle and Burlington High School and if that's something you want to pursue in terms of a little different conceptual drawing we can look at that uh the meeting today and I and I say Darless if I miss something here really what Macau Gordon and and GMCN want to kind of have an idea what they need to do to move forward in terms of do you want them to work on information regarding a new building with some different I want to say different parameters four sections
058we'll move it to three sections for example we had a gym that we were going to have as as a competition gym that would seat 750 do we need to trim it down to 500 seating capacity darl and I talked a little bit about when we had an elementary music program so just throw out just a general number let's Let's say we have 60 first grade kids and at that music program we have in the gym. Let's say they've got mom and dad, grandma and grandpa, brother and sister that come. Let's say got six. So 60 kids at six people a person that come. That's going to be about 360 people that would show up for a music program. Would 500 be enough for a competition gym? We could also help with overflow activities for
059middle and high school. So do you make it 750? Do you make it a,000? Do you make it 500? Those are some of the details that they would like to know moving forward. Do you want to um is it a new building potent if you're interested in moving forward information on a new building? Because again, the belt to grade five facility at 45 million that's gone. We're we're more like 47 million now to do that. >> So, we know that it's going up every quarter >> about 4%. >> One 1% every quarter, 4% a year. >> Yeah. So the it's just that's take 45 million and 4% that's about 1.8 million give or take a few dollars. So with that being said the does the board want are you focusing in on this 33.9 33.996678
060number? So we'll say 34 million. Are you focused in on that and that's what you want? Do you want to have a comparison between renovation add-on versus a new building? And then you got to come up with the parameters in terms of is it a bel to grade five facility? Is it a prek to grade four facility, prek to grade five, is it a belt to grade four? >> And so that that's that's if if if we are looking at that those options. We just kind of need to know what to give them direction. Am I speaking? All right. >> So So this is this is what I would like to do or propose to do. We need to have works. we can't do this in between board meetings and etc. We're going to have
061to have a work session that's either in the evening or a Friday, you know, uh that we can get together and you know, spend a couple hours and because I don't want to say we're going this way or that way right now until we all get together and talk about it. And as you know, we can't talk about the emails and all that stuff. >> The public absolutely 100% wants to know what the renovation costs are in detail. So I have to So I think we need to have a work session sooner than later so we can get this and so we [music] don't leave everybody hanging. We I mean because number one is if we leave the public hanging they're going to lose interest e at either one. I mean because like what are
062you going to don't know what you're doing? And so >> are you suggesting Congress work session before we get the information out to the public or are you suggesting get the information out? I I do in fact because we need to know because I don't know exactly how you all feel. We need to know what remodel or we're going to do. >> Yeah. We need to we need to be able to get all this information out to the public and get more of a feedback. I mean, we got some survey results, but 222 people. >> Well, but that's what I'm saying. We need to take all that, digest it, and say, "Here's the direction we want to go." >> No, I don't think we're there yet. >> Compare two things. I mean, if I can
063speak. >> Yeah, >> I think it's I mean I was at all those meetings. I mean I feel like we had quite a few people kind of say like they want the information on this new thing. >> But I also think we've done a lot of talking about like if we are still considering a new building it isn't necessarily the same. So I think that that definitely probably needs to be something that >> kind of figure out like okay maybe we don't have immediately if it's bel to fifth or belt to fourth or prek to fourth or prek to fifth but we know like we probably I feel like you have said many times we would cut off the fourth classroom right so like that's for sure let's figure out what the scope of this
064option B is so then they really are comparing >> this this is this is this because I think if we go back with one more thing like it's still option what it was last year and and six months down the road like well no now we're going to take out the fourth whatever and go ahead and keep the fifth like we just keep looking like we don't know what we want like we need to firm up like what option two is if you're going to do the comparison model I think that is really >> agree I hate I hate to throw out a lot of loose end details because it's just going to cost even more so we have to come up with a plan so >> why don't we have a work session then
065James to figure out what our two options are >> great >> and then present that and then we can get feedback like you're saying Yeah, >> from those two options. >> If anybody has any if anybody has any ideas >> on how to get people to attend a meeting to get this information when I first we can have like a ginormous >> town hall at the gymnasium. I don't know. >> So you read some of those survey some of those surveys talk about >> do I need to sponsor it or >> would prefer to get the information. I think we need to focus on some of that in our work session and go from there. So, give me some dates in March that would work for you guys. Um, and I I don't know if
066you want to do them right now or you want to >> Yeah, we just figured out at the end of the meeting. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> I can send in Friday possibly if you would like as well. >> Send notes and get back with Craig and >> you know, >> well, Christie and I we could send out an email with possible dates. >> Yes. >> Yeah. If you give us possible dates, we can all say these are the ones that work for us. These ones that don't. >> Thank you. And certainly, Yep. I think we we've got to move that direction. >> So, [snorts] you do see the information on a budget breakdown. >> And so, that public content in the in the in the in the board agenda >> and we will start setting
067up to set up possible dates for you guys to consider. >> Yeah, I would like for us to meet and then figure out a way to release >> correct >> formally in addition to what it's >> a lot more question is working on a one pager as well with this information we can put out and you know public information >> I think just if this was a starting point if they if they were contin to work on my look at is we had a bunch of discussion on the fire protection that's not called out on which line item check. >> Um and then interior remodel improvements. I mean that's the big ticket item 16 million. Um is that could maybe a way to look at that is per square foot if there was a ballpark.
068You know how many square foot are we actually touching? How much does that do? Is that all the the orange or whatever that color the classrooms was. I assume that's what that line item is talking about. >> Quite honestly, that's everything in the interior rem all the interior remodel improvements that will be done in the building to make it look like a first grade wing with a new library. >> I see the the 16 million versus the rest. Now, that caught everybody's interest and now they really want to know what that means. >> And and that does that line item does come across as the item where there's the most wiggle room. what it means. >> So [snorts] it would be very easily for somebody to grab that string and start pulling it. >> So
069we should be prepared to answer those questions. >> Okay. >> So you suggesting that they need to say what is included in those improvements. >> I think we could have some questions for them to to clarify versus having them trying to guess would be beneficial. >> That's always good to have. >> Yeah. And I don't want 49 items. thinking that's going to be value added either. >> I think that's what they want. >> Pre-answering some questions might >> we could ask for them if they could give us a list, a general list like interior remodel improvements include cabinetry and carpeting and epoxy flooring and just a general list. So, I I'll ask. >> Thank you. Okay. >> Um, on the the cheerleading issue, I just wanted to be sure like every all the other board
070members were understanding that what could like concern that I had brought up was just I just want both that sport to be treated the same as like other sports as far as what the school provides. So, >> correct. I think >> I just wanted to make sure like everybody else [clears throat] agreed or understood or or whatever because it's not the board of >> I think some information >> some information been provided there but that kind of says what where they went last year. >> We do know we have new administration and so part of that >> is probably a little bit of [clears throat] >> you know not not everybody understand whatever. So I think >> we brought it up two other times over the past like 19 and 23. So it's like >>
071and it was dealt with last year. So but so I think that we have to be very careful number one if we start delving into what this group is going to do because now do we get involved in what the van's going to do and are we going to get involved with what the track's going to do? Are we going to get I think we have a broad overview of and let the administrators take care. Yeah, we're not getting involved with what they're doing, but we just need to provide their basic [clears throat] what sport, what basic uniform or whatever that they need to to perform. >> Yeah, that's great. I I agree with you cost, but I think that if you saw the last uh submission there that was submitted to you today that
072says here's what we provided them last year, and I think that's probably where we're going going forward. So, >> I think board's probably just thinking it just needs to be reasonable and and consistent. >> Yeah, >> right. Totally. >> Thank you. >> Any other questions on that? >> Okay. I'm sorry. Go ahead. No, everybody saw the conception >> negotiation. Did you have a >> Yeah, for 10 if we can do 10 executive session. Move [clears throat] to assess the executive session for 10 minutes to discuss certified contracts pursuit to the exception for employee employer employee negotiations under coma and to return to open session this time include Marshall Lindsey Second discussion sub [snorts] 806. I'll take that a whole bunch of so I guess the next one contract approval we're going to start with the
073bel >> right >> so we've had information we've shared with with myself uh Christy His Nicole Laflin and Lacy Johnson director at devel we feel like continue to have an increase in starting pays for our belt. We've not done an increase at all since we started that and we're coming on our 5y year anniversary. We feel like we can support this pay increase. We'll add some pay to our current employees because again we're starting our people out new new hires at this number. We're going to increase our our people currently on staff as well. So we think we can support this and you can see that the motion is there if you have any questions. >> What's the money you just towards develop a while back >> that was from we got for for raises
074from the county. They did a one time one time only one time one time only help with it with with I shouldn't say I shouldn't say raises a stipen or a bonus if you will just one time money >> motion to increase develop staff's wages by $1 per hour as >> second discussion hearing none submit your vote >> [snorts] >> 6. I have one question. I'd like to know because you put in a report about seven staff members that you like to know what other employers in the county wolf creek etc. Just be interested to know. >> Okay. >> It would affect all the employers. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Yes. >> Next one is curriculum leadership institute. Anybody have any question there? That's what I was talking about earlier. I said it's nice to
075see that they haven't went up since 2024. >> I've sat in on lots of these meetings now >> and the lake is just >> Yeah, very involved. The teachers are very involved as well. >> Yeah, I think it's a good thing. Sure. I hear a motion. >> Yeah, I'll make a motion to approve the CLI contract for the 2026 27 school year in the amount of $19,975. Motion seconded discussion. >> Just one more comment on that. For that price, you you can't employ somebody to do that job and be as in tune as that lady is for that amount of cost. It's a good bargain. >> And correct me if I'm wrong, but Darla Stacy has been with us from the beginning. She has been the I mean the constant provider. We haven't had like
076five or six different leaders >> from the beginning. >> Okay. Next one is the KSB contract. >> Yes. And you can see some information. Again, Christie, thank you for the historical knowledge there. They have a slight increase but uh not very much at all. And you know the different things that we receive from KB are just very very valuable, very important. a motion. >> Motion to approve KSB membership renewal in the amount of 10,972.52. >> Second motion second. Any discussion? Gasby legal assistance fund >> that did go up slightly there. As you can see, again, historical knowledge there, but again, it's very important to be able to have our administrators be able to contact the the legal people at KB for any things that come up that we need to have dealt with. >> Motion
077to approve the legal assistant fund renewal in the amount of 3,100 >> second discussion [clears throat] >> [snorts] [clears throat] >> approval listing agreements. I asked them to put this up. So Craig is not going to be here. So uh so I've been asked to sign this real estate agreement deal and so I said, "Well, we need to introduce this to the board, but the board don't understand it." And so so I had some questions and Johnny actually called me asked questions. So um does anybody have any questions about that? How it works or how it's working? So, just briefly, I'm just going to explain. So, the they charge a minimum of $1,000 per >> So, it's a 6% fee. >> 6% fee, but they don't there's no they can't do that or something. One
078property. >> So, they So, they did have concerns. So, it'll either be a minimum of a,000. They can't take $1,000 >> or the higher >> less than $1,000 on on a sale. So, it'll be 6% or $1,000, whichever is higher on each of the sales. >> So, I was reading it per contract, which I thought if you sold them all and you just have one vehicle, that was not true. So, it's one per track in each track. Yes. Correct. And so, it'd be 6% of the total amount. If somebody bought all six, it' be 6% of that total is what our fee would be. >> And the the listed price there, 6% will be,50. So, it's right in the same ballpark. >> Yeah. And if you think again 6,300 on on 105,000 if you took
079175 per lot take times six lots. >> The only reason we'd be paying any more than a,000 would be if we got a higher than asking price >> which we'll take. >> Yes, that'd be awesome. >> Okay. So with that um in motion >> and all the lots are good like as far as utilities and >> they're all they're all ready to sell. >> Yes. >> U so we got e all that everything's been done. >> Okay. >> U there's yeah >> an easement agreement here. But yeah as far as like we can get >> Yeah. They're all ready to go. So the thing is the city. Did you fix that pip or >> No. Which one are you talking about? >> The water part. >> No, the water is southwest corner. >> Oh, that's
080all part of the >> the utility easement that we're requesting. >> Yes. Okay. >> So, we can go in and lower the line and meet all the KDH requirements >> because we don't meet them now with the way the dig. >> Okay. >> Oh, is that where the culvert can't go any lower because they be too close to the water line. >> Yeah. Well, the water the water line has already been exposed. >> Okay. >> And it's now got your freeze protection for free protection. >> And that'll all be done and opened up once we go in. We're waiting on KDH to give us the final approval. >> Once we've got that, that will be bored in. It'll go under the road to the fire hydrant. >> Okay. >> And all that dirt valve will
081be put in and the dirt will be cleared out. Well, that makes me feel better because I did notice you put a new covert in, but it's still not at the bottom of the ditch. So, I I'm glad you know that's not the final product. >> It's closer, but >> the rest of the ditches that corner will be too. >> So, that'll satisfy that need. That's what the next motion is going to be after this one. So, >> all right. Move to approve the listing agreements with Trespoint Real Estate for tracks one through six as presented. >> Second. Motion second. Any discussion? >> Just to follow up on that question, there will be no additional acred cost on this sale, right? Just like land title or anything else. >> That's all part of the deal.
082>> Okay. >> I understand this. >> Any other discussion? Submit your vote. [snorts] >> Nice to see motion. Now, back to utility easement. And so, this is the easement, 10 foot utility on the southbound of the three own tracks. And so, that's back to what we're talking about back there. So, they can you said you can get that all fixed. And um the easement agreement is attached there. Anybody have any other questions about that? >> I do have a I thought that the easement started from the center of the road line. Does it start from the edge of the road? >> No. Uh the easement right now you will see that there are some flags. >> Okay. >> That is the north boundary of the current ement. >> Oh, we're just expanding. >> That makes
083perfect sense. >> We can't work on a hill >> to do our trenching and digging to put in the line about 8 ft down. >> That makes more sense. Thank you. >> Okay. Any further questions there? Okay. a motion. I'll make a motion to approve the utility easement agreement between USD 24.4 and the city of Burlington as presented. >> Second. Sorry. Any discussion? >> I second discussion. No hearing. None. Submit your vote. >> So that that's the last thing you need to get those things. >> Yes. Correct. Most car to sign that. I'll do that tonight. >> Okay. Social Security 6. >> I want to thank Stan and the city for their help in the project. We have had tremendous partnership with the county with economic development, the county commissioners, the city and us. That's
084what we need to do. We got to work together. People got to work together. >> Uh and hopefully we can see some future development there. >> Make a requirement on the north side. >> North school. >> Yeah. the northeast by the rec center and the middle property. >> There is an easement through there. There's no water line in that easement. >> Okay. The house on the west side there is. So, we are prepared whichever direction they set their houses to put the water >> to adjust it >> to to bring it to it. That's not a problem. The water's there. We just have to extend. We don't need KBH's approval to do that. We don't need any >> Okay. [snorts] on this one. >> All right. Thank you for your assistance on all that. So,
085look forward to seeing that project about anybody want. They're going to be for sale tomorrow. [snorts] >> Um, >> Mr. Approval of the Hay bid. So, I think Aaron's here to see what what we do. Um, so the one thing I did see, uh, Erin, so, so the three to five year lease agreement I think you wanted, as you know, we're we're talking about school and all that stuff. So, we don't know, uh, what that's going to be. So, I mean, I personally, I don't know if I want to. We'd love for you to pay it, but I don't know if we want to get in. I mean, I believe more in a one-year continuing contract. I mean, so or at least two years. And to me, I think one year just simply because we
086don't know what the future's going to hold and uh we have in the past opened it up every year to give everybody everybody a chance to do the hay bit. So um if you knew you were not going to do anything with that land, I could see a three to fiveyear agreement, but because of the uncertainty, I think you just want to do one and then next year at this time, depending on what you have decided, you may do a two or three or four or five year agreement. So it could be multi-year. It's something to consider. Now, in the farming perspective of it, if you go and spray or go fertilize it, you can't carry it all. I mean, that carries on year to year. >> I got you. So, >> and so it
087one year at a time, no one's going to do that. I mean, >> I'd say you can work with us at least for a year. >> Sure. >> Something to consider, I guess. >> Look at this first year and then we kind of go from there. But so we kind I'd hate for us to sign agreement with you and all of a sudden they say they want to move dirt. >> And I mean I've signed agreements before even like with the county and other stuff in the ground where we can sign it and then agree that if something happens you know it could be reimbursed or something like that. >> I think something like Do you have one of those? >> No, I don't have anything. >> Okay. look at that. But right now, I
088think just one >> one year is fine and uh probably just behave. It ain't going to be sprayed or anything like that moving forward for this year. We appreciate you. >> At least you don't have to get cedar trees. >> Sure. And that was one reason. I mean, if you keep spraying it that I mean it was hayed every year, but if >> that's why the cedar trees came up because when they come up this tall, you mow around them because you don't want to hang them >> and then they just keep growing. But if you can spray it or burn it or whatever, it will knock it down. >> That looks better after we clean it up for sure. >> Thank you very much. Question. How cost to like spray something that size? >>
089So I don't know exactly how many acres are there. I think I in the past there were 17 acres, but >> that's right. per acre the chemical was like if I was a custom spray or whatever in that aspect it would be like $25 an acre to for to buy the chemical and the application fee. >> So it really is only worth your money if it's a longterm deal. >> Right. Right. And even I mean there's some fescue there that's grown. Well that stuff like your yard I mean you fertilize it the better. Well it's like $50 an acre for fertilizer.
