001indivisible with liberty and justice for all thanks for everybody addition to the agenda get our emotions so well yeah all those in effect most of the best slips foreign patrons Communications you have a thank you note machine from Carolyn Brown family for the donation of memory of Helen Boland Carolyn's mother to Leroy Fire Department yes administrator reports I've got a question for government nope is a little bit lower but like I mean so we had some discussions before because we had a service area before so you know like some teachers were uh you know I told them like people that haven't signed up and then like some teachers and they came out a few teachers were like well the parents just said like they're good they'll do that and I'm like I would just encourage
002them that we still really we want to have those conversations so you know do I think it probably had a little bit of impact yes but I think our teachers did a pretty good job of still trying talk about making it much easier for the teachers I mean I don't know like you know we try to like survey if you're interested in his eyes and most people seem to I thought it was super easy it was just remembering to log on to do it but I thought it was super easy and it was it was nice since I have two kids to be able to fit times that we could do back to back and on a match that we need so yeah like the emails will go out like I mean we wouldn't can't
003imagine what it wrote yourself video about because you too are having like fourth grade will be theirs first and like this is kind of the first time first ever after that like trying to get it and then be like you know it was a second grade teacher might put hers out you know they always Mark the siblings so they know but then like draft three draft four I mean like those shapes that were in with this kind of put in the parents had like if it's important to you as a parent to have back to back you probably should get on and sign up sooner than later and you know I didn't have anybody complain that I don't know that we had everybody that had to come both lines I don't really think so but
004um you know if that was if that's I mean I think that's one thing over time was but the parents realize that's really important to them then they'll probably not put that off to yeah I really liked it I thought it was there I mean that it worked really good and like I said one evening with Stewart and I just kind of set up the mention the door kind of asked people thinking about like I was going to the assignment process and everybody's like really good so that's kudos to pregnancy because um we're kind of talking about one of our um in service days or this afternoon Nikki said well let me see I think Sarah we're going to do that and she got with uh Craig and he had that for us and um
005they made the flyer but the step-by-step directions which I thought was really good for the parents and they seemed to get really good so I think it will continue yeah and then just keep trying to encourage people that we we want to you know have those conversations basically but he's sharing it and we're usually pretty strong so okay anything else regarding yeah okay Matt is not feeling well today about your party goes so he was out today it's not the way you want to start but coming back hope he feels better and we'll be here but if you have any questions you can just uh let me know or email me or email him either way thanks for giving me that please sorry I saw someone else had one and I'd like they're missing out
006yeah the only thing I let you guys in the loop is if you've been asked about last year's yearbook um it is still not completed and it should it won't be delivered the 21-22 yearbook until the same time as this year so remember he'll be in August so just a few so you can pass it on I'll pass it on and working with our sidecastle members so that they know they can pass that on too because we you know it's frustrating um I know that they don't have it so but it's in the works and you have a new crew yearbook working on this year's yearbook so you have the sponsor that's advisor that's trying to take on the pages and so um we're working with him on that he is an advisor and what
007the kids do is what the kids do and it is a kids publication and what they get done is what they get done so we're working on that he's he's new to it um so just heads up on that so I know it's been frustrating for some parents that have paid for it and don't have it so but it's in the works it's coming it's just so that's your safe bet your safe answer anything for our special education things always Staffing more 10 to 10 plus short um I think I've got a resignation coming I've got a hard word of so not uncommon this time of year partially because we have people who start looking for summer work and if they they start early or not um it's also a really bad time of year
008with State Testing and field trips and that stuff so um I mean people are surviving but that's the best I mean it's a lot less than the where we were at the beginning of the year but it's still essential uh technology report great you know anything else not in addition to what's the most reported Mr Marshall Okay I uh put together a PowerPoint um and if you could pull that up for me Christy thank you um I thought it'd be really interesting to kind of see just some things that we've done this school year and things that we're looking to do over the summer and I I kind of I was reflecting on seven years ago when I first took this job how times have changed in many different ways but we used to do
009projects in the summer all the time summer summer that was just our time it's different now because of labor material short shortages and things like that so we have actually gone to doing some projects whenever we have breaks Christmas break spring break so anyway so having said that um here's a list of just some different things that have occurred um I don't think we would have ever have thought maybe about trying to tackle the fields of projects uh in the winter and thank goodness it's been a great winter weather-wise so um yeah to go to that thank you very excellent next slide yeah and uh again completing February 2023 this will be the start of the third week for the girls on their field Turf uh new new uh it just is incredible out there
010we will have an open house type ceremony you know as well we're working on planning that to take you know for baseball and softball here very soon if you haven't been out there just let me know there still is a construction zone going on so they're a little yeah they will ask you if you happen to wander out there they may ask your name are you here for a reason or something along those lines so be happy to take any of you out out there again continue on next slide just some pictures we've got some windscreen kind of that branding piece going on out there it just it looks it looks tremendous big kudos to oh gosh Taylor was involved in the windscreen and I was involved Parker West Brad Griffin and Brady nordstead we're
011all involved that was a little bit of a challenge but we did quite real work on it so anyway right no yeah oh yeah oh yeah definitely yeah the old and the lights are done out there again projects again never would have thought about doing this in the wintertime because you're just scared the death of dinner but thank goodness it was a good winner for us enough the lights are done the only thing that's not done is the scoreboard so anyway next page next slide baseball they they were on today a lot of happy baseball players they they uh decided it was an upgrade from Kelly Mark it's a huge upgrade from Kelly Park uh I've got some pictures and everybody if you follow me on Twitter you'll see some pictures ever some kid they
012were just rolling down the turf and they had pictures down with their faces at home plate and it was you could have thought it was like Christmas I mean it was just incredible and they had a ball today out there and they're looking forward to bigger and better things we just did get completion substantial completion Taylor and I met with them today so this was their weekend their first day out we haven't gotten our windscreen up out there it's the same as the girls on the softball field except it'll be Wildcats Burlington on left field Wildcats on the right and again their scoreboard's the only thing that's not them lights are done everything's good old sound system for about sound system it's all done out there it's all ready to go so next slide there's
013just some other pictures uh for baseball continuing on um let's see yes football stadium it's getting close Taylor we just found out today you know a substantial immigration baseball today they think they're going to be done in the next two weeks with with maybe two to three depending on whether two to three weeks so it could be depending you know first or second week of April they'll be finished um that's the view from the Press Box uh continue on please and then just uh some other pictures uh as well things were happening out there so fast it's like you go out there and stay and take pictures those pictures rolled they're out there Sunday cutting the lettering and big thank you courtesy to Ron as for doing uh some throwing pictures continuing on please he
014did some drone pictures of so they look really really good good um continuing on that one just it looks like gosh it looks like the professional look with those windscreen and everything so and then all three together very very nice so we'll have some drone photos once they're all done and we'll put some in here and even around so um [Music] uh anyway uh and they're actually able to practice I think you're able to roll around the track for practice now yeah right there's some obstacles still on the Far West corner of light woods and tarps but they're okay and it's the kids kind of know to slow down a little bit there I watched them actually today so but great pictures thank you we're on a Saturday I I asked him for one set
015of pictures over the elementary and I said hey by the way you can go over there if you want I didn't realize how cold it was outside every morning until I got out there I was like oh man so anyway thank you thank you thank you next pictures please um Mark big thank you margarito guys oh that guy works eight eight days a week 48 hours a day we'll tell you um so we go we go Margarita and Mark I was margarito's sidekick in the summer if you ever excuse me in the spring break if you ever want to know what the superintendent does part-time and during spring break it's worked with margarito he's the one here doesn't you know there's there's few people in this world that are known by one name Margaritas like
016Cher and Prince and you get the idea okay margarito is just the greatest duck we went out to change two light fixtures in the ladies restroom at the stadium at the Wildcat at the football stadium and we changed the map because the bowels had gone bad so they were just they were fried so we changed out the two right in front of the sinks there and he turned looks up there and he goes these look bad back here we're going to do them all so careers that we get about six hours seven hours later we got done with it but anyway LED lighting is in there we're changing things out as ballasts go bad again again it looks really really nice and they're really really nice continuing on so this is a combination project and
017I'm not going to show you the before pictures on the light fixtures up above because they were not in really really appreciate but this isn't though this is in the ladies locker room at the high school two things here the light fixtures were not in good shape at all you can see that they are replaced with LED lights we'll show you both here in just a second but notice also too our shower partitions we're going to do in this summer we're going to get rid of the shower if you've ever been in there or your kids ask you if you've got daughters that have been in the high school the showers are about four about five foot tall in there I mean so it's it's too low way too low and those partitions if you're
018even close to being any type of claustrophobic whatsoever you won't go in that shower because again it's a pie shape figure and you got the center pivot for the water it's it's not good at all we're going to do what we have as far as with the middle school and the high school the showers that we did you'll see some pictures here and it's going to be so much better so you can kind of get a feel of a visual of what it looks like I don't I mean it's just uncomfortable when they're completely uncomfortable so the showers are going to go on the walls and they're going to have again shower partitions with curtains it'll be so much nicer in there you can see the two new LED lights really really nice continuing on
019so that'll be a summer project Cooks Plumbing is worth looking to work with us on that we started changing how the band room lights and we didn't get very far that was one of the projects that got put off to the side because there were some that took much longer so we only got three lights changed out of 35 but you can kind of see the difference in the in the light in the light the new light versus the old light so we're going to work on doing that here into the summer this is a project that you guys have approved for the cafeteria flooring you can see it's uh it's time that floor is just it's it's hot it's tired and so continuing on there just some different angles there so uh Jody worked
020I think Jody and Taylor worked on the the new design of the floor and that's what it's going to look like it'll have a red perimeter and then the middle will be similar to our hallways and Wildcats in the big big block letters in the middle so kudos to them for creating a floor that will be I mean just that would be really really nice really really nice matter of fact uh John McCallum were guided us the flooring with uniforms that uh this will be a wow thing if you go and say I'm impressed with what you come up with and so it might not be an epoxy project no yes yeah and and the epoxy project he has done has called it looks it's it's the real thing it's the real thing so anyway
021continuing on so this we did this in December 2022 is these are the shower stalls we did this is what's going to look like instead of that Center pivot and the girls they'll have their own individual showers and we raise the shower height like you'll notice on the picture on the right to shower height up they put new fixtures there so we need some like seven foot boys to come in here and be really good at maybe basketball or whatever so I think at Shoppers that are taller in there so anyway continuing on um margarito and Tom Burris uh our high school custodian myself we put up the batting cages for the indoor practices in the in the in the wrestling gym now one new one from the rec center uh the one on the
022right is the black netting is the one that we got from them so they will if we ever have thunder lightning you can't go outside and you've got inside practice covered so continuing on the Middle School faction that's the other epoxy flooring project I've shown you a few pictures on Friday notes getting rid of it's all carpet in there carpet as you can see it's Stained It's tired it's time so we are going to again replace the flooring with the epoxy that was something Ashley Oliver was really interested in having the Cabinetry is going to be changed out as well it's going to be painted updated it's probably original to the the building and some some cabinet facing indoors and counters we're looking at just making it more up-to-date modern in there with some of
023the summer project this year continuing on is this is what we did in December of 2023 here this past winter with Cook's plumbing and again this is what we're kind of looking at doing again um you know in the in the gross lockers of high school so Elementary School um we are going to do a couple of projects this year and again because we weren't sure exactly what was going to happen with um with the potential ability with the chip project whether the elementary school may or may not be needed for other option there possibly uh with with the with the chips project we have been kind of holding off and doing a few things to the elementary school so there will be some things next summer that we will definitely plan but one thing
024we're going to do is remodel in the office it's going to be carpet paint new countertop there or uh Center the counter and um Darla and Sally uh they need some new furniture man I I think I think Mrs long is really causing him to grind in there look closely this is the picture of both of their desks they are taped oh my goodness it's time it's time so they are again we have a bid today from navrats out of Emporia that you will hopefully look to approve But continuing on they'll get new furniture the uh the elementary school library will be the last library for us to get remodeled in their uh Darla and uh Julie templemeier that would the representatives they have I think from school specialty yeah to put together a proposal
025again new carpet in their paint new book okay so some of the bookcases are in sad shape and it's time for them to to be improved and updated so continuing on this again thank you courtesy to Ron for the Durham photos this is a possible option so while Mammoth is here I just said just give me ballpark figure what would it take if we were to say for example so look over where the elements we're assuming where the daycare playground is that's that square concrete square with the turf in the middle I said what would it take to potentially look at doing field Turf in that rectangular area so it in terms yeah do they immediately be filter but it's going to be playground um so you're again you're thinking about I'm going to get
026every point so you can kind of see my turn so in terms of thinking about I'm going to say from right here all the way over here to the the fence and this rectangular area here so it's just this this whole area here it's about 40 yards wide by 50 yards approximately so if you're trying to think of half of a football field and our football field costs about 1.2 million that area there with playground type field Turf has been it would be about 250 000. so not not as bad as I thought it could be an option now if you go forward one more picture thank you it you can kind of see there if you go by the Elementary playground you can see it if you when you're there you can almost see
027it on the picture there's a spot here where it's really it starts to get lower where the kids have just played and compacted it down here's kind of that yeah you got it right there there's kind of the high point and then down here it just it gets lower because this is where they travel I want to play kickball that type of thing so we have a lot of dirt now guys you know we got a lot of dirt we can haul in dirt and put dirt in there but we do not have any sprinkler system no irrigation we don't so we didn't pull in the dirt we can grow the grass but it's going to get trampled down and the kids will play on it it's it's going to look like that at some
028point in time is it one year two years three years four or five years I don't know we'll have to wait and see but what I do know is remember we talked stabilization a fee for stabilization for Turf they want that ground to be as hard and as solid as possible so let's just say we bring in a lot of dirt put it in a little spot we try to grow grass let's say we get a good stand of grass that kids play on it and they try and pull it down and it looks like this in two or three years and we say wait a minute we want to do turf they're going to come in and take all that dirt out that we just put on and they're going to charge us to
029take that dirt out so this isn't anything to decide on right now but we'll have some rain tomorrow maybe it will be really wet there for a long time see it's just really low so Darna when it gets wet out there then assume the kids just yeah we say that you know yeah or the concrete area the end down there on the very East End is their little old soccer fields do the kids yeah we use that that way East part like at play day yeah sometimes does teach construction out there but like in terms of recess we don't let them go that far because we're mostly up here watching the playground area they do like it after school they they can sign on the south um and they I would say they play mostly
030to about the area that Craig's yeah so it's just something to think about again no decision needs to be made um tonight but again it's at least something to consider I think again if you uh if we look at it what the cost is going to be and then how we pay for it yeah another playground of the north too that still needs some companies and there there it becomes a question do you look to almost say abandon that playground and all your playground area is in one spot does it become something that we look to I'm going to say abandoned and who knows maybe maybe it's just that's the way in my area maybe that's a Jones trust Grant opportunity to ride for 50 50 Grant um but anyway so uh then you just
031what are those cinder blocks block things doing there is that Turf coming up yes and we have waited and waited and waited for the company that did the play wreck to come and do it they're supposed to come the next this week it's either this week or next week the perimeter um had they had a perimeter that was kind of just rotting out and so they are coming in and putting in a better material perimeter if you will to a fasten it in a piece of the heat yeah on the edges it was it was right at Christmas break [Music] but by the central office so that they're coming in to do that and fix that um hopefully this week good question would the trees have to come out and return to that area I'm
032gonna say you probably would want to just simply because you'd have leaves and and branches on the turf and those trees don't really give us a whole lot I mean really the trees in that area I mean they're nice but boy they they're dirty they just leave branches I'm always fearful if we get a little bit of a windstorm they're going to drop on those cars and then you've got a you know a little bit it's a little bit of a liability issue um yeah I mean probably they would go I don't think that you you'd want you'd want to you know drop them on your new Turf so but anyway and they're on the inside of the fence anyway so then they would probably put a roots and stuff potentially out of damage to
033the church districts and stuff and I think we should support errors more on us okay and that's all I've got from this again I I cannot say enough good things about margarito guys so I made really you just he's dedicated Beyond dedicated to the district we have a lot of terrific ways and I don't want to just I hate to think about just one person but um I mean he he's he's up there all the time you guys you guys know I can see it if you drive by um anyway with that being said there's one other thing that I mentioned to you and then Friday notes about the instructional coach possibly looking at an instructional coach for our school district um we've had discussions in administrative teams meetings about again the change as far
034as the change of our staff the changing over our staff of it last year and this year combined you could put those two years together we're gonna have about 25 of our stats going to be first and second year people to us um we would like to try to look at at hiring I'm going to say a person who could be the the the the the model we're looking for as a retired type Master teacher hire that person maybe who knows us for three days a week to come in and work one day at the elementary one day at the middle my day at the high school they would work with the administrators in the building to go in and be a collaborative type person to work with support not necessarily an evaluative type person
035if you will or it's more of a person just to help support and make sure that these these these new staff members are teaching and performing their duties the way we want to see them the administrators would love to just that be the major focus of their days and every day but phone calls happen and you know student issues happen and and and the list goes on and on and they just aren't able to really I want to say really Dive In um I can see this being like I say again a three per three day a week type person um again I think it would be very very helpful for us I don't know if anybody administratively wants to chime in that person work in to uh I hear all the time and probably
036all to do about the AIDS that they never really did any training and just get thrown into the mix in the dirt you know that's the at any employer whenever you don't get any training you're pretty dissatisfied and you you need so could that person be some more of that to be able to you know everyone so I'll have some group a discussion like that'd be nice I don't know yeah I think that that's very possible yes I think that that's very very possible High School people up is going to start getting very difficult for us and the time that a new teacher somebody coming into the district no matter at their Veteran Center or not is the little the little things to find in that time but having that consistency of somebody that has
037as I was I spoke up in our meeting is is that I came from a district that it was mandatory that with every new teacher and then second year there were so many times per month that they met with them and it was that additional check-in well no with the instructions in addition to because there's some things that matter is like okay hey what what what is this when I bring trees you know that's a mentor type of question you know um what about that stopping it's been instructional is is goes above and beyond that I mean is that is that professional piece and so having that addition to because not always are we going to like in some of our departments be able to invent we have two science new people is we can't
038team them up with somebody in the Life situation and so having that instructional person that comes in just supports them you know feeding logins and maybe even having contact um you know the the textbook companies that there's just so many positives that can come from it so and just just wouldn't be for the new staff to our district so give me an example I could see like a day at the elementary school this person might be going in and working with the three kindergarten teachers half hour 45 minute time frame they go in and just watch and observe to each of those three then in the second half of the day maybe they're doing first-rate staff that's an example they just go in half hour 45 minutes and watch a joke give them constructive criticism
039and positive feedback and so on and so forth then the next day they would go to middle school they do set fifth and sixth grade teachers there or whatever the case might be the next thing I wrote was the second item I'll quickly mentioned is next year Jody and Taylor at the high school they will have all except four staff members that will be evaluated next year every staff member every circuit it's just the way the the the the the the right horse and the schedule has worked out for evaluations so they that someone will be twice twice in a year if they're new staff to us first and second year and their third or more it's just once in a year but they they're every staff member at the high school next year except
040four will have some sort of formal evaluation or two formal evaluations tonight so they're going to be busy next year anyway the only good thing I say on that since we do CLI and with our common assessments is having the time and you know at the high school a little different because we do have some Singleton people that teach only that subject but having them look at the intentional and practical um part of the assessments and our kids making gain so not just the state assessments but this unit assessments and things like that we can show gain in that way and having the time to do that so there's just so many different things that they're positives obviously I'm looking for it as usual but I think to kind of go that is on the
041special outside we meet on an evening I met with the superintendents to advertise a position that we call the compliance monitor is how I think it's listed um because and some of that's because of some things that happened at the state level but also because of new staff and being to really make sure all of our ideas are aligned but also we're going to go best person has time to go out and do training um which that may be training I'm writing the IEP but it could be data collection it could be with Paris you know what I mean even too it's got to be the right person and so not just anybody can have those tough conversations and be a good trainer and knows but enough to do all that but if we were
042to get that right person it just we're having such a turnover and we're going to continue I mean we're at that stage where there's going to be retirees I mean we're near two of a pretty good size group of retirees and um that's just where we're at and we're in with some shortages things that we're having to look at a little differently so you're looking at that position would be teachers and special education as well and you can when you're talking about whether it be full-time or part-time it is right now posted it full-time we'll see what we many other thoughts or questions on the comments also county-wide so they're going to have to travel to the others it's it's very and again a lot depends on the person obviously you're we all know getting
043the right person is so important and again I don't know we it could end up being a full-time person different districts do it different ways we could start out part-time it could be a full-time we could do an out some districts do hourly and set an hourly rate or they can do like uh like a base base a salary for a teacher because again this this person would would not necessarily wouldn't have creating they wouldn't have less than plans they would I mean theirs is going to be strictly again feedback supportive type um you know I say positive feedback constructive criticism it's just it's really going to be just a you know helping them to make sure that they're the best we all know how working you can make about teachers you've had that are
044just great teachers or kids have had that that have just have been great and just everything we can do to make sure that happens would just help make you know great things happen for students learning I think it sounds good it sounds like the administrator certainly like how would the teacher well I I I you know teachers don't like to be vulnerable that they're doing something wrong but it's also I think if done in a in a in a manner that is that non-threatening manner is that what they can gain out of it is this person can see what our teachers need professional development-wise we'll we ask we do do questions and say what do you think you need of course that's very personal to them but when you have an outside pair of eyes
045coming in it's like no as a whole we could be a better we can go from good to great um and it it's just the consensus it'll be it'll be a culture a little but um you'll you'll have a a few that might be resistance to it but it's it again is that hard conversations those conversations that need to be happy because you don't get into teaching to suck at it I mean that's in another way that's not you know that's not your goal um we don't always like to hear the construct this criticism but it's it's just part of it and that's why I mean lots of new people [Music] I mean we're talking about people coming into our district they're not going to be I don't in my opinion as resistant as Maybe
046like they've talked here a long time I got my business oh I'm here you know why so you know one of the people that we're hoping to support the most are those newer employees not that we don't want to support everybody but I mean I don't have any problem with them doing like exactly what Craig said like give me to the instructional piece of our job is very difficult when we're dealing with some of the issues that we're doing on a daily basis so I'm 100 behind it too you actually I think I've had this on those for a long time since I've been here um so I mean it's you know I think it's about making it a positive thing like that's our job to get our teachers to believe that that's what they're
047playing the point is I also think that's why the who isn't important and we talked about that on my position with the superintendents uh it's better to get the right person or to get no person if we don't have the right person and so um it's just that person's key and how they will handle those relationships and there would be some training opportunities for that if we forget for example we have somebody that was brand new to instructional coaching Greenbush offers some supportive training uh opportunities they also offer this service but it's expensive it's like if you want to go through them for a person and it's not it's not even as many as three days a week but it's fifty thousand dollars in that neighborhood this wouldn't be I don't see this as being
048a fifty thousand dollar position it would be negotiable based upon what it is if it's a 60 three days a week type job if it's a four days an eighty percent uh type job I mean we would take an hourly or based on the salary schedule those are just a lot of different things we can use anyway one of the positives too is that you know um because I have a ticket is it has one also is alleviating some time teachers want to be good at that they're researching and new methods you know it's they do build a professional development that this instructional coach is a person that says how can I help you and when they it's that's the essential question when the teacher goes oh they really need it that person researches it
049and maybe something if they try this you know some type of instructional strategy or whatever it might be and so if they're alleviating some of that in between where teachers their phone down and don't have all that time at you know 10 o'clock at night to research something like that so again I think it's the way you present it um and that all the positives that come with it I I appreciate that comment specifically because in my head I had someone comes to my room gives me feedback says try this and then left and I'm like yeah I got time for that and so if they go back and they do the research yeah that's well that's I appreciate it that's what I'm scared of power my cousin is a retired Master teacher Denver and
050she this is her like part-time retirement job now too is the same thing but um it's a lot of that experience too like getting that right person someone who has that experience to say online try this or yeah undo that research research I have I get lots of observations at my and then yeah that was great uh they told me whatever I did there but if there's more to that that's kind of what I was I'm glad you said yeah with any type is not looking valuation it's not evaluated but it is like how do you think that meant for you you know it's that person who has those skills and they said how can I how health can I have it what do you need from you and that's what that person's really for
051and then for us it's that collection of data it's like what is really going on our question we're in there and doing observations and no Journal walkthroughs but when that person is spending some specific time with with those individuals um we can get some really good information and collectively I think our district be streamlined so I think it's I think it's a good idea before definitely it's got to be the right person and if not then not at all because you can get someone that could be a great despise in here you know get to the feel for how all that stuff can be said but if the perception of what that person's really doing is is wrong with that so is there some kind of job you're cool I think it's definitely worth looking
052at so okay we'll start the process of creating I I've got some sample job descriptions and we'll look to open that up and see what type of Interest we get all right that's all I've got anything else for you okay moving on to board members Mr Marshall yes yes where are we at on hiring a new Bo AG teacher we had to put in an app that put out an application for an opening for a second Co AG teacher why not I have not heard from high school administration saying we need based on our numbers well my numbers were given to me last year by you that last year we had about 85 kids that were involved in one sport or another and we had about the same number in voag and I'm I'm not
053being critical of you but I'm challenging you and I'm challenging the administrators we just spent four million plus dollars that we had to borrow on turf fields and and they're absolutely beautiful I mean it's it's a heck of an undertaking and you did it okay and to take care of the students on those fields there's what 12 coaches and assistants probably somewhere in that neighborhood give or thank you give or take uh taken care of about 85 kids and we have one AG teacher one taking care of the same number of kids and I just don't understand why or can't you make this a priority to get another AG teacher because I I think we're really missing the boat for a lot of these kids and we're shorting them out of the opportunity to learn
054vocationally and you know the farmers aren't getting any younger agriculture is hugely important to this country these kids that can't afford to go to college or don't want to go to college if they come out of high school that's the only education they're going to get and there's a huge opportunity for them in if if we can't afford to get one maybe even two more AG teachers I think we could really supercharge our program start working on a school Farm and you would have as many or more kids that would benefit from that some of them will be the same ones that benefit fields but we got to start looking towards that and I know there's teachers out there and go to other schools and sounds bad but still a good teacher that's what we
055did with the one we got stolen from legal way but we can't overlift that and and I just that's getting away from us and it's I don't know does anybody have uh so I when we lost Mr Stewart I know that a lot of the AG kids did both of those programs right and I hear a lot that we don't teach our kids how to change oil well we have a very expensive lift and very expensive shop and a paint booth and all that stuff we just don't have teachers teacher and I would be hilarious if we hired another AG teacher then we'd never hire that person because the Clash space would be gone and I would love to do whatever we could get Doug Stewart's position filled if we can do turf fields like
056this we can we can do our vocational act program I have no doubt he wants a priority and it becomes a goal if somebody is passionate about it I think we we could draw just as many kids up here for for our vocational facility as we will for our Athletic Facility if I can kind of follow up here real quick and then if you hold on ahead real quick so I'll give you a quick example on Wednesday we have a meeting with hopefully we're going to try to we're talking about stealing where we have our meeting Wednesday that we're going and I haven't even had a chance to tell you because it happened all today you're coming you show up to work and you never know what's going to happen so anyway well let me
057call we have a meeting Wednesday and we won't say anything you know too specific but we have also included with this meeting two other partnership possibilities with this person that we could maybe end up with the next Doug Stewart that would would be off the charts great not only for our school district but also I'm going to say off the charts great for the community and what's going to start happening in this community I'm going to say with some housing I I can't can't tell you any more but you'll just say that there's there's something potentially Wednesday at 5 30 6 o'clock we've got I can't remember when we got this meeting I will say this on a positive note here big reason that he's looking to move and relocate here is what we are
058doing with our facilities here he has a connection he and his family have a connection with some kids and some families here that um are are competing athletically and activities with some other kids and families here in Burlington and so he's looking to possibly relocate because he sees the investment we're making not only in our school district but also for their activities our athletic fields and so on and so forth so enough said about that but we're we are actively looking to try to fill that position that position is a unique position it is that's I would say don't try to hire that combination person because I just don't think they exist it's not it's not a combination get the industrial Parts person hired like Lucas is talking about and get an act teacher hired
059the the next thing I want to make sure and I've shared with you information not only from the high school staff but also when you're looking at enrollment numbers I I rely on the high school administration and Donna Olin because they end in Crystal act and they are highly involved in in the in the in the student the student account and student population they haven't come to tell me that we need a second or third AG teacher they have it when you say we have one ad teacher for 85 kids we could say we got a map a person that teaches math at Burlington High School that has 85 90 100 kids each and every day they walk classroom so again that's not uncommon to have a teacher in six classes that they teach 15
060to 20 22 kids in in their classes they're going to be in charge of 85.90 100 kids that's a totally different scenario I mean it's totally different I mean and it's teaching in so many areas and just for example if she wants to get him out on the road for competitions you don't have anybody to back her up in her classroom so I'll kind of speak to that so in our Sports the football coach is PE teacher but then you got a science teacher helping out and uh somebody else helping out doing class so would it be would we need to open it up for like a low act like maybe a competition families that are interested in in getting into livestock but they don't have a facility or or they don't know everything that
061we have the land out there and to start a school farm and the kids can build it I'm very I'm very interested in supporting all of our programs the science rooms when I first got here were atrocious yeah I just don't see that the intensity to get there yet that's what I would like to see I I what I need is I need people to tell me that it's time and I need the people to tell me it's time that we do this I will say this today and Jody and Taylor can attest we were in the welding shop today we were in the welding shop because there was something I was again when you work with Margarita over the spring break we we saw something that we didn't necessarily care for I'm going to
062address it immediately and then heck of a lot better I'll go into that my Friday Notes too the library but it's something that needs that needs attention but has never been brought to my attention I think it's out there it's just you have to look for it and I'll do my best to have people direct to you to visit with you about really they need to direct towards again High School administration that to me is that's that's the chain of command and also and and then they bring it to me like if they want to talk to me about that that's fine the the the classroom teaching piece really does come from Administration as well as the scheduling piece that's that's done in Poland I mean I'm happy to listen but if they come to
063me first I'm going to go back to them so the turf stuff came from you and there's no reason why an AG Farm can't come from you so much let me ask a question about the AG farm and all you talked about all that so my concern over the whole AG Farm thing and I know you said that for the last couple years we've been talking about that and I've talked to a couple schools have what happens when you no longer have this aggregatory you no longer have the kids to do this acworm who takes care of it then well if there's no animals in it at the time there's really nothing to care for I mean that's that's what it's for it's a program that you got available it's it's no I will counter
064your question what happens to our turf field if we don't have Athletics to play on it no doubt so it's a it's a risk that we take for our kids but I think the some of the turf field stuff we've talked about is the low maintenance that we're going to die that we believe we're going to have on that okay well there's not a lot of Maintenance in the school Farm if you're not using it okay I don't I don't know that so I'm just trying to understand yeah so so to me it first of all it you started out on a small scale um you have to have an AG teacher that has some Forward Thinking and and maybe that have seen it before and then you challenge the kids to begin to build
065it you know a pan at a time it's small to begin with and as interest picks up there's more pins and the pins are built based on what kind of livestock that they want to house and you know it just builds from there it may never get very big it may get huge you don't know but it has to be started so do you know some schools out there that have it right there you know when I was looking I found about 12 different schools in the state of Kansas that had School farms and of one sort or another I'm going to email my superintendent College because I'm interested I think we should look at a pros and cons both ways absolutely I don't know by just adding a ag teacher is going to solve
066anything well I think I think you're going to have to have another AG teacher if if you're going to start the school Farm off because I just think we would overwhelm one teacher I I really think she's overwhelmed at this point just trying to be in the classroom and then what what competitions they go out to and don't overlook those competitions I mean public speaking and things those kids are sought after for employment kind of leads when it comes to my mind immediately he's done and made a career out of him and got a lot of college paid for and I talked to Carl about the driver I very much Pro just different different activities or different different careers just such a variety of activities that can be harnessed up on so we we gotta
067we got this thing done we've got a lot done in our classrooms in our locker rooms so they think it's time to really start seriously thinking okay so if you could they'll do a little research we'd do a little research and get back there absolutely find out yes okay okay just because I said it forth on enrollment one thing I sat down with all of our teachers firms all day and and yes Julia's trying when you're a CTE teacher you there's so many opportunities no matter if it's business if it's in the interactive media if it you name it there's so many opportunities when there was no there were no industrial tech classes that that the large per class sizes now that we opened that back up because we will get a we have candidates
068we look at a teacher we're going to get this and um it even to back out because and you can ask her if she has trouble with some students that that they knew they didn't want to be Hands-On but it's not their passion so now they're able to flow back over here so what we did my background is heavy in CTE is I sat her down and said you have a four-year plan and I did this with our business teachers I did because we don't need to teach accounting every single year we teach accounting one one year and accounting the second year the accounting two and you alternate our kids can take a plethora of stuff in four years and get all of it done if our teachers alter me so we alleviated her schedule
069to where she's not teaching stuff in preps she tasks that album she also teaches allocative which we don't need to have her do but we let her do okay so if we started pulling Alley County we're going to start losing her because that's additional money for her right so we don't want that that's opportunity for our kids but you know online as an administrator I'm going to say well by golly we're going to teach all High School classes to get these in so we have to balance that out um ask for from next year's schedule she is balanced out and then for the 24-25 year she's balanced out okay so our kids aren't not getting anything they're getting everything they may need it's balanced out for her same with our other teachers so they're not
070overwhelmed the competition piece we okay we are using our full-time sub if we continue to use our full-time sub for the next year and I vote Yes um so that um the option there is when we get a sustainable person that in in ours is a museum are just amazing um that you get somebody in there that covers her class and get the kids in the shop right now I don't have that person to be able to do that once she's gone so some of our kids are missing on that time in the shop so we hear that we know it we're trying to have a solution for that so you get that person in there that when she needs to be gone she needs to be gone for kids she's the one that teaches
071them she's the one that coaches them he needs to be gone with them but also those other kids are staying back from that competition need to be able to continue the class so we're working on that we have the vision for that as for industrial Tech but the person we hope that this it comes through and um has it'll be great for everybody for our students for Julie for everybody how it works together for all of the department futuristic if I were to be a dreamer is that with the growth we're going to have two industrial and we could have two go ahead in the future just because of our growth okay we could have a residential carpeting person that's all they're doing we have the industrial Tech prison that's all they're doing now we
072have two teachers our kids everywhere but you guys be realistic right now we only have 260 kids we have 278 next year-ish pre-enrolled and we can't get ahead of ourselves in a moment right right so we do have a plan um yes and I would like to have all the information on the farm I know Allen county is the one that I'm used to they they when their person um I don't know if they passed away or retire I think what um they stopped the farm and that's college kids that I mean they they no longer do the farm up there um so it is a lot of work it is a 12-month job and there's a lot of conversation behind that great for kids though great for kids and I will mention you real
073quick too we we have invested in a lot of equipment in our auto shop industrial Arts our our welding shot between welders and plasma cutters and auto lifts and paint booth and restoration and uh chop saws and cordless drills I mean we the kids in those programs don't want for any of them until they it's just like you know again having a computer you got to have tools to be successful so we had done a lot of investing in in those because they are pretty much they're important and I'll I'll say this I haven't mentioned this before if there was just one question you could take if you're looking for General High School students in one class I think you're right in terms of like that FFA type where you've got public speaking and project
074work and math and presentations if you only enroll in one class at Burlington High School and it would Encompass everything that's probably the class that you would put somebody in because they are they're involving so many writing you've got to have writing skills you have public speaking skills you got to have math skills you have to group work so you got to have the ability to use your hands and and and and and and create things I mean I'm yeah I'm very much in favor of is there something if they go ahead is there something we can do to poll our kids to see what the interest would be if things didn't have facilities to have their own animals at their homes however they would take advantage of it sure is there a proper time
075that we could do that well that would be we did pre-enroll it what we did back when we did that's when we did the pathways which and so we expanded our Pathways by eight new health science I mean a lot a lot of new things happening um so we pulled them because we're not meeting the needs um and so yeah that I mean absolutely um but yeah it is uh yeah it's definitely something you can just pull the students because like even our animal science class this year only I think has three three four kids three hold so we don't even that you know so we have to we can't go on when you when you're enrollment you can't go on Trends you can't go you know if you not gonna say trans um fads
076like oh I'm just gonna do this because this is an hour it's offered or I don't have anything else to take like we've got to live longevity so we pulled the eighth graders to 11th graders and we always just need to keep pulling so we have that four to five years of what does that look like right we also have to be realistic and agriculture is one of them high demand High wage jobs we can't just offer things just to offer things we need to make sure that we're putting kids back out to the workforce right and we're preparing them for that and agriculture is not one that's going away um so you know things that we could bring in as drones finance and all that kind of stuff right talk about drones one thing
077you with with Julie she's getting certified to she can certify kids in AWS which is the welding so that's huge and so it's a lot of times a lot of effort and so you know next year we're looking that we need to know down the road and you can pull and you see that Trend happening and the kids say I have animals I want to do this but it's also commitment in the summer oh yeah and you've got to have somebody that that says hey I'm a teacher and I want to work 12 months a year I mean you really do you have to have that you have to have that those people you also have the kids because again I just brought up the yearbook I'm a brief opponent this is the student-led deal
078it's a student-led deal and it's not a an adult there that is babysitting it while the kids you know you guys are is everybody parents you know you teach your kids like hey look we're going to get rid of the dog you didn't want to feed it right so um that's what I mean but um but but it's true right and so the responsibility is but then but we also have to look at that that that trend line because do we have kids everywhere replacing that that will take over those efforts um so I mean it's it's a yeah no it's an exciting project um it is a lot of thought behind it I think this would be an interesting conversation to continue once we have the strategic planning session finalized because I do I
079do see aspects of it fitting into some of the conversations that my individual group has I hear a lot about agree a lot about the industrial work of course but I think it could fit in their son now so I think there could be a discussion for the future of strategic planning that's a really nice great discussion I think we'll look forward to some more discussion about later and as we get more information so any other anything else on that I just would comment that I remember us being in high school and our enrollment we is a small high school we had literally had 80 85 or 86 kids that I uh monetarily I don't know how we did it but we had two AG teachers and they were busy year round and and I
080can remember the the AG teacher was almost like your second dad and most of them were males then but he was he was your second dad and your dad wasn't helping you he was there and it it was year-round he went to competitions with us he went to livestock shows with us so it was it was made of a lasting impression on a lot of students and I also understand and maybe you can correct me if I'm wrong or um if if we get an an AG course or two in the junior high I believe there's State money available for those kids that go to high school as a freshman and enrolling boy am I correct um kinda partially no 8th grader or ninth grader intro course is funded and if I could attest to
081that okay it kind of runs that so um but you do get the that's we have the feeder program basically so that they if they're a freshman taking an animal science class then yes we're funded so anytime you offer and then we've been working we're gonna we're working on offering this industrial Tech position would offer something in the middle school so yes offering stuff in the Middle School like that gets their feet into interested so yes well I think that's where your numbers bill was when you start out in fourth and young and and tell them say that we'll probably see some of our Sports numbers probably grow in the in the years what we've done anyways very good thoughts thank you so then uh any other people on board us one so as I've
082been looking and actually over here I think margarito is a great I mean does a fantastic job in this District but if you think about the buildings and all the facilities all the stuff that he has that he's and he takes about the prize in what he does but he really doesn't have any help I mean uh and I'm I'm concerned about that not I think he's prideful enough that I've said it to him before you need some help you know I mean it's kind of like it's his baby doesn't want to you know mess with his stuff and I get that you know but but we're going to come at a point in time because I'm going to guess his age is about mine and he's either going to leave or you know I
083mean we don't know what his health is and we don't know and and we're going to be sunk I mean we really don't have anybody's going to have that corporate knowledge for all the stuff that he knows and I tried to talk to Greg and uh and margarito last year or two years ago about hey you got anybody that's in your Environmental Services or something that's really strong well yeah maybe but I don't really didn't really push it very hard I think it's time we have to look to get somebody in that in a position as an assistant or you know somewhat uh to be able to do some of this stuff and I'm certainly it's going to be there for another position but I I think I'm worried about in the future and if
084things continue to grow in the future we're going to be we're going to be in a bad shape if something happens you know James you might laugh at me for this and if you wanted to slow margarito down a little bit he'd be a super shop teacher okay we would but I don't think you could just look at it but I mean you could slow him down enough well if you took the way of all the responsibilities that he had and narrowed him up a little bit can you imagine what he could teach him he has a lot of knowledge with a lot of different stuff and you're right people he would but I I don't know Greg I think that's something we should we should put on the table and start looking at it
085because I mean it's going to cost us a little bit of money but we you know uh I don't know Dementors I'm sure that he works for those guys a lot and he's like wow can you imagine if all sudden he's gone I'm just gonna also say we've talked about that cross training piece because we've been faced with what happens when we don't have it right so I can't speak enough to how important that is but and also um not knowing I was going to say this so hopefully I still have to talk more but like his I will tell you like right now also it takes a lot of great time because the Craig did a lot of it over spring break and Craig has a lot in the summer whereas I'm sure that
086Craig's other job has a lot of stuff to do too so like um yeah margarito and I we were joking like we we uh I call my brother from another mother and I know he's willing to help but I don't you know maybe yeah and I know that Mark green was wrong listen to this or is going to hear about I said well I told you I didn't need any help right well I'm saying he does I mean and I'm not saying he does because he doesn't do anything you know what I'm saying he's he's fantastic but I think we have to give him some help and make him what what he knows getting someone in there that he is going to teach instead of this is my baby it doesn't need a porch forever
087right that's right there you go somebody that will carry on his legacy you're going to live out my legacy yeah sometimes that helps that helps you kind of give up a little bit so we want somebody to take on his life oh yeah we've talked a little bit about this and they even they're writing reports I've kind of shared with you but what we haven't done is put an opening out there for an assistant director James has mentioned we've had some conversations about this we've looked for some people that okay maybe let's say for example our custodial group is there somebody on a custodial crew that could be the next Margarita or the assistant to margarito and learn from him over the next two three four years depending on how long he's going to again
088either he may at some point time he may retire it's going to happen so that may be what we need to do is put an opening out there and see what we get um yeah all right I certainly I think I know he's doing but I think we have to force his hand a little bit that some hear someone that's going to be with you and now you need to train don't just let him wander off you're going to train him so so stop to take your job this is to train you it's all agree it's he he has a lot of electrical mechanical type background right and so we do these job fairs where we try to bring in teachers and that kind of thing where do we go we go like a free
089state that kind of thing is there something maybe we can go to a job fair like that or something like that you're like Hey we're looking for a mechanical electrical engineer type background affordable bank is there something that we picked since people or something like that that's a good point I'll check on that and see if there is um if we were just out of Pittsburgh state and even though it's education um people that were in that field and actually came to that as well because they're kind of weighing all their options knowing that they could get something in education so they have a great that great Tech um Institute there too so okay so that's just very much so like no way in agreement that we should maybe advertise and see what we can
090find out there it's all about her and I I will talk to him and explain to them again he's doing it terrific job this is not it's just it's we need to have somebody trained for for the future a second person you've got a lot of skills and buildings and talents to share with somebody buying a lot of equipment died 30 years being like I remember the thing is is once he once he hits a couple of years under his belt he might not need to be with Margarita all the time he can go do something recruit it can do something else and they can do something independently I mean you definitely get her money's worth yeah okay moving on the contracts good comments uh first one is the VMware cervix yes and Craig can
091come to China yeah yeah so um I mentioned several months ago in our check report that we'd be looking at uh upgrading servers we have a form of servers that are very aged and we are needing to uh they've kind of been put off due to other projects out there it's time we've got to do something um we're neat this will be part of our summer Capital outlaying but we're needing to get this by April 1st to ensure that the order can get in and ensure summer delivery and install um yeah we expected the project to come out at the cost that it did in the 60 thousands um the company has given us the option to do a four-year Finance where we pay a fourth of it each year that does cost about six
092thousand dollars more you would also have the option that we go ahead and pay it out of capital outlay and then we would as a tech reduce our annual budget by the a fourth each year or more if if available but it's a project that if we were to Encompass it all within our summer Capital nightly budget it would cause us not to be able to do our regular needs you know there's really nothing new or fluffy in the in the summer Capital outlay pre-plans that we're working on you know so it would it would cause us to really pull back on just regular annual meetings you know if we were to take in the whole bicycle system right this is this is the backbone of the whole system and what it does is it
093gives us um the protections right now like you've got one VM server if that motherboard would go out that would actually take down our email system our Skyward student system this gives us basically a dual system to where within a couple minutes if one of the two fail those images get picked up on this and operate on this other machine until the other gets repaired and then they offload so so would you look to do this in the summertime I mean yeah so that's why we're bringing it to you actually now so that um yeah they basically told us if we did not get an order in by April 1st they kind of guarantee that they could get done this summer and it would be my recommendation to go ahead and do it and afford
094the finance charge as much as we can and just rather not pay interest and this is a sixty thousand dollar item I think it would just again just make sense and we had the money to be able to do it so I'm trying to include it yeah I might really add too and there are some items that could be um that we have built built into our Ezra plan that could be taken that offer the tech project budget and the event through Esser to panels any more discussion okay emotion my mom's approved bid for legal Technologies for VM servers and amount of 63 325.80 is there a second someone did how about you oh yeah huh he's second I didn't I did the motion okay uh any discussion all those favorites shut up thank you
095moving on to BHS office furniture bit okay we've had two beds for this two diamond from options one from now bats and one from Great Plains design again there's a sixteen hundred dollars difference between the two again this was going to help us with improving the workspace functionality in the office and again this is just the office this is not when we looked at this a year ago we also were thinking about The copier room as well as the break room that number was quite a bit more including those two areas we're just going to focus on again the office space so I have rats out of Emporia they do office furniture for us a number of different projects they are very good product there as well that they have and and the Great Plains
096has a good submitted a proposal um go ahead I I I'm going to recommend that we do go with with Great Planes we do have a late fee associated with this project again needs to be done no later than July 15 2023 at Lake we have 200 per day will be assessed after July 15 2023 if the job is not completed so that is that completely if there were some obviously again extenuating circumstances that were I mean let's say if if for example Rod Steiger lets me know that uh in April hey I'm trying to order wood I'm not getting wood that'd be a different story but if he just comes up on July 10 and say I just I just got busy that's not going to watch there will be a late fee that
097will be Associated so again um that that piece is in there that uh damages pieces is in there for a late uh late fee and this will really make that office space at the high schools again just much more workable usable um yeah questions okay I only have the most acceptable for VHS office furniture from Great Plains Design Center in Atlanta 3517.21 cents and Great Plains is our local yeah any discussion okay motion care six zero high school office staff will be very excited thank you es office version yes so we we again put out for bid on this we did receive one bid from navgrads they went and they did meet with the Darla and her office staff again they have put in a bid the the again the furniture that they're going to
098be if this bids approved will be much much better than currently what they have it'll be very very nice high quality Furniture to a company called han h-o-n han Indiana Furniture there's a few of them that are very good that they work with out of from navrats so anyway this will be if I say a great Improvement to their office area much more functionality yes I just don't want to get over committed thank you yeah and he had already had some plans you know at least looked at this project with high school it's not that he didn't want to be Elementary because I just I don't want to get over overloaded yeah I'm going to accept the bid for Bes office furniture for map wrap Office Products and 1127 589 .27 you're saying and we
099were able to talk to these people stationed no I'm sorry about that I was just asking you were able to visit with the net but never mind oh okay they came one day but I wasn't really Sally and Darla piece and they're just also too there is a liquidated damage of their lately 200 same thing July 15th so very further discussion that's all I have well those are favorable thank you yeah either way promotion care is 6-0 we were selling the diesel Jacobson greens king or real mower correct um yeah she did not receive any bids or steal bits now I will share with you again this is a special League type item so it's a going to be like a golf course Titan mower if you will or something because it's gonna it's the
100real cut would be for like Bermuda or a tiger it's not something you'd have in your front yard and mow your yard with so anyway having said that I did whenever we have a vid situation like this that something that goes for sealed bids and I think there's somebody locally we've either done business with before I think might be interested in I try to contact so I did call contact Rock Creek uh Robert Kelly Collins sleeves are out there they have their board meeting tonight they are interested but they want to have that discussion so there's uh something that they're going to at least talk about so I'm gonna we'll just not act on this because we don't have any bids I will talk to kasb and say since we have put the bid since
101we put this out for bid do we need to put it out for bid again or I need to ask him can we just negotiate with whoever because nobody bid on this so I'll find out more information and go from there so there's no action to take on this I did want to let you know that it's so it's kind of in a limbo holding pattern do you like to table this and then you correct negotiate with them and then or he'll come back we'll put it back up for sealed a bit like for a one week time frame if kasb says you need to put it back up for bids again we'll do that or if they say since you put it up for bits you didn't get it any any bids on this
102but go ahead and you can you cannot do with it so um but I'll inform you and let you know what's uh what's going on with this and uh so right now in this table okay next one all right this is the Bluebird activity bus because yeah and nobody again nobody wants to get airbrake licensure so having said that um the bad news is is we haven't used this near as much as I hoped to but the good news is there's a serious market for this as we know buses are even more expensive now and I've shared with you information on Friday notes Brad Griffin and I just feel like it's time to get rid of this and again I I will take responsibility I didn't know there was a difference between hydraulic brakes and
103air brakes I'm not very mechanically inclined and so and I think Doug Roar when we purchased this I think Doug knew the difference and was hopeful that somebody was going to or somebody's we're going to get the air brake licensure since this is and again normally with sealed bit scenarios we put something out if it was a bus that's timed out 25 years and you may get 500 400 a thousand dollars whatever Line This is a significant type of an item so I wanted to let you know we're looking at some of this and I would like to put a minimum bid of fifty thousand dollars on this bus it is seventeen thousand seven hundred dollars we pay for it what we would do is I'll put out my superintendents Lister of tomorrow and say
104I've got a deal for you guys and show the pictures uh attach some pictures there this could be something really good for I'm going to say a district that has somebody with aerobic licensure and it can be a heck of a deal for them because they're going to get it now a bus like this brand new so you're looking at 12 months out to get it just it's just the way your your build on the bus used to be anywhere from four to six months now it's 12 months or more so it's just not being utilized as well because because currently right now Brad Griffin has Eric licensure and Jeff finlisson has their great licensure and nobody else does um that is a possibility I'll do some exploring but um I I think I think
105either way we're going to do okay with this bus before you know in the years before we might not have done it we might not do as well if we were to try to sell this bus but there's a need people are needing classes it's really really bad and if they had a bigger district has people with their brake licensure so I think it would be a good thing to do so resell something like this do we take further to our cats off the side and look forward to it yes yes so I just would like I want you guys to be aware of this again since this is a significant item this isn't a 500 or a thousand dollar type item so you're ready to move on yeah motion if you do a motion
106I'm sorry cool we have to accept bits on the 20s and delivered activity list last second one right here 6-0 feet there's a really 1950 Chevy pickup truck say okay so this is another item that has some significant value that they again suggested to be given the board approval on this again I've got the paperwork for this we purchased this 1950 Chevrolet pickup truck in September 21st 2005. it got some work done on it probably it's about 50 completion I had Doug Stewart join me in the auto shop and the painting booth and show me what what else to this this truck he said we just never did get it completed we got x amount of work done and we just didn't ever get it completed he believes that it has some value in his
107his recommendation was I think to set like a minimum bid like four thousand dollars because this would be some type of project that somebody could put in from here it could be a really nice type is there a reason we're selling it well right again two things one we don't have a shot well I know but I'm we're not using the shop right so it's not taking up and if we're pretty secure that we're going to fill that position for next year I mean then next year we're going to be looking at buying another project track and which will put the price of vehicles uh we could hold on to it that that's a good point we could hold on to it for a year because it's it's taking up space but we've got some
108space it's not it's not a big issue you can take NC if the next person is interested in an auto type restoration we can do that and we can just hold off on it that is a really good point and that's my feeling on it it's not really in the way it's been in season five anyway let's there won't be any of those classes taught next year just because we have to put those up ahead if you're in advance um so this wouldn't be so this for this coming up here um but that teacher would be able then to decide whether they want to keep it or get rid of it yes correct I don't know it doesn't mean that internship care is somebody that has those skills now that we have a teacher that
109can guide them so I'm just putting that out okay it was part of a course that involved um a little bit of Auto Body Small Engines uh CNC router and lathe programming mechanical um more more of that it wasn't a true art yeah right okay so um and I don't know that you know the candidate that you'd be looking for would be a true Auto Body either yeah yeah all right well that's why I didn't know that's my one another reason like if there was a reason I think that's a good idea but we still have an unknown so I shared this a couple pictures of someone at work I'll give you seven for it right now yeah well I think we just hold on to it when someone there I mean not to cast
110guns but I think Doug might put in a bit for four thousand one dollars hold on to it okay I mean like you say it's sitting in a paint booth yeah it's not it's not according away okay in our discussion nope okay [Music] I don't want that Legend most recess in the executive session for 15 minutes discussed contract of staff member percent to non-electric Personnel exception under coma and to return to a possession at the end of that time including Craig Marshall secretary well those are voters here foreign actually I've already gotten texts from people I like this View usually when you see Chrissy's head her head and James and we'll go to Stacy knows it okay okay can I hear it hasn't been sounds good yes I was the first day back from spring
