001of the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands one nation under god indivisible with liberty and justice for all okay there's uh in the opening items there's one item on there for an addition to the agenda i would make a motion to separate principal contractor drills into individual agenda items okay there's a motion four and that individual item is eight charlie we're gonna look on the agenda item and motion to separate i'll go ahead a second and uh do you have something for everybody wanting to do for this okay so come on everyone on computer for this uh the motion does not pass one to five so the agenda will stay as it is move on to consent agenda commons discussions on consent agenda that's a i see there's a
002generous donation to the girls learning center that's pretty awesome yes thank you for the titus it's just a grant that promotes again a number of different things in education it's one of those that came across an email we received one last year from them uh to help out with uh like for example items related to coated whether it be masks or cleaning supplies and so on so forth this year we uh we addressed it towards the early learning center so yes all right thanks i'll send them a thank you as well i'll move to approve the consent agenda as presented all those okay motion passes 5-1 move on to public comments section for public comments this evening okay so i am reaching out to you guys as a parent of somebody a child who is
003enrolled in the early learning center i'm here not just representing myself and my vision and daughter but also numerous parents that have reached out to me as well as staff members that are currently still there and staff members that were there between the opening and now um i wanted to bring some matters to your attention regarding the safety of our children who have attended or are currently intending although i've spoken to the director as well as mr marshall here i've seen things kind of degrade i wrote to mr marshall on october 8th about 24 safety concerns 21 of over safety three of them were admin building the app things like that he did write back and said that he would review those with haley however 11 days later i received a response and it just
004didn't really address all of them said that some of them were getting addressed she talked to some of the staff members but nothing completely those issues included blistering diaper rashes lack of diaper cream or rash ointment use skipped feedings uh only offering one feeding over an eight period eight hour period which happened numerous times to numerous children it wasn't just me as a crazy mom um and i have in there some conversations from parents asking if their children were fed i know it's tricky keeping track of stuff on the app but if the parents asking again and again and again then probably experience where their child was not fed regularly i know in my experience i sent three bottles eight hours later two bottles came home with me the refrigerator previously warmed up melt the
005side doors being unlocked all day i was told they'd only be unlocked during pickup and drop-off hours they're unlocked all day open food and drink containers accessible to the children their staff members drinks time drinks things like that no identification checks teachers leaving children unattended a couple times and then lack of communication appearance on the rsv and the copa exposures that happen although these issues are dangerous uh it's now come to my attention that children are being injured regularly while at the daycare over the last few months i have several photos and even more stories from other parents about children getting bit to the point of blistering or drawing blood although this might be a fighting is a behavioral issue but it's easily to guide and redirect it's not just because a kid's a bad
006kid that's a training issue for staff members but it's easy enough to teach them and if it's not taken seriously it can lead to a plethora of health issues um with the bacteria that's in human saliva as well as blood transmitted diseases currently there's no consistency in procedures being followed by staff or parents regarding the biting kids that fight are still there all day they come back the next day one parent was not informed that her child was injured and only found out about it when she brought her children her child home and stripped him down for bedtime i had some pictures through pundit c and d and then two weeks ago it came to my attention that two young children were found in the parking lot between the elementary school and the courthouse and
007the two children were found and brought back into the daycare and from my sources uh that parent was not told until the following day i don't think i need to reiterate how dangerous it is for having two-year-olds running around in a parking lot i not only moved to burlington for the school district but for the community i lived in colorado springs code hit i wanted a change of life and a sense of community so i came here because i was told the school district was great i eagerly enrolled my daughter into the learning center after hearing about their blind curriculum and being a new building with the hopes of finding a community to ensure my child's success as well as her safety due to these serious issues i've chosen to pull my daughter out and
008attempt to find other daycare options countless parents are pulling their children out and attempting to find daycare options and some are unable to pull out their children because there's so few options in town this learning center is a necessity for our community and it's critical that our children's safety is taken seriously a teacher took the issues to the superintendent and was told children get hurt it happens she was terminated after that when she reached out to the state a few teachers have quit after their concerns were swept under the rug a mother is afraid to make comments and she's afraid of retaliation from the school district another mother mother whose child was significantly bitten to the marks of leaving bloodless blisters and bite marks took the matter to the superintendent and was told that he
009could not guarantee her child's safety so my question to you guys is if you can't guarantee my child's safety what are you doing and that's all i have i just wanted it to be addressed and on record so that if something did happen thank you very no much this is my sister-in-law in the back she's currently watching my daughter so thank you guys so much okay we'll move on to communications you have a number of communications uh that are in your your packet we also have one additional uh one that came in just today michelle as well as the ones that you have noted a lot of people are very very happy again with the option that we come up with for premium pay and very thankful also for the staff appreciation gifts last week
010or last month in november so again a lot of nice responses move on to administrative reports starting with elementary bes report questions or comments or anything from nova the blue got fully installed this last week they came down and trained us on how to get that thing going and kathy's been using it and the kids are letting in so uh we thank you for letting us get that piece of equipment next time you guys are out on tour we'll have to fire it up because it's pretty fun so courtney was there when we did the training and i could see a lot of different uses for that so is i love that you came here wearing the camera i thought about changing then i was helping you do some math and work at my house
011am i gonna have time to change the house another questions or comments move on to the middle school report they are the music vocal concert uh both him and mr reed are there as well if you have any questions they may be here depending upon the length of the meeting all good information there anything um if you might have even seen uh i think there might have been a twitter message out i think matt spring was the grinch at the middle school right here that was cool and uh mr watkins mr reed both ended up with pies in the face due to a great generous donation for block the door that occurred for god's storehouse an incredible amount of you know canned goods and food i was just going to add on that on the
012food drive one of the most significant ones we've had we had over 1200 in cash donations from our student body faculty plus over a thousand items so that will get delivered tomorrow i will say matt did scare the heck out of my daughter no she just was walking down the hallway looking down and came around the corner and she said where was the grinch and the other very professional jeff jenny anderson trap club are there two participants or how many people were signed up like actively doing that now we have we had 14 sign up initially i think in the first practice there were nine yeah and it's just kind of kind of and they kind of held off they really talked like we're going to try to hit it on the spring bring them
013that's what the actual state competitions are so we're looking to come back ammunition has been a big so it was like he was trying to get both and then there were other i mean there were so many things okay we'll move on special education report i'll just comment the staffing although we've had a couple wires um remains that's what we talk about every every month yeah so we've got at least two this one started one starting after the first of the year but we're interviewing everybody that comes in and trying to stay on top of it technology report and doug is with little kids wrestling the rec tournament is happening tonight so there's a lot happening at the high school with the band vocal middle school high school and little kids wreck wrestling so he
014said if you have anything please let me know and i'll be happy to share it with him and he can we can respond back to you for december report okay remember we do have a linkage meeting with our recent graduates that's going to be the monday january 3rd date instead of the regular january 10th board meeting we'll do that about 5 45 we'll have dinner here and we'll start about six o'clock and so just in case they end up leaving to go back to college um we'll get a chance to meet with them and so um that will be monday january 3rd we recently have some really good news from the state we received some awards from the kansas can recognition program and again we have a bronze star recognition for post-secondary success nice brand
015certificate here a copper star for academically prepared for post-secondary and then also a bronze star for high school graduation and we received some deeds in the past and this is kind of taking the place of if you remember the standard of excellences that occurred in buildings in the past we even have a middle school gym still has some of those standards of excellences listed in there we're going to work on hopefully this summer getting our middle school gym painted to take those off the walls because it's a it's an old program that the state no longer recognizes so again these awards are a reflection on an entire district and our staff our students and our families just a wonderful community that we have here so everybody should rejoice and be thankful and very very proud
016of those awards i want to review health and absence guidelines real quick very very small i guess adjustment potentially that you guys could look at we received information from lindsay payer and dr sawyer that we can decrease the quarantine for close contact to seven days as long as they are asymptomatic engine and managing testing and masking so again going from instead of ten days goes to seven days i think christie's pulling that up real quick on the so again we'd be following kdhe and um coffee county health department guidelines if we go this direction i don't know if you guys have any questions or comments a lot of places move in that direction right now and the numbers are there 10 and 11 as what they say now yeah i will just say well we
017have money in the county uh covington in the county uh we're still less than like some of the counties surrounding us so we've actually decreased a little versus the counties around us have increased a little bit so we're constantly watching that possibly i will save this uh there's some information from laurie coming into in october we had 50 staffing students that were tested five tested positive at school antigen testing and four of those were in quarantine testing again due to home contacts november 90 staff and students anagen tested 10 tested positive at school antigen testing five of those doing quarantine testing due to home contacts and then i'm going to actually do some december information just changed so they just got an update from her today so um before today there were 14 staff for
018students who have tested as of uh 11th of december at this point no one had tested positive at school antigen testing but today we did have an additional 14 students that tested this mornings that brought a total or total of 28 for december and we had one positive this morning so student was placing quarantine due to being a classroom contact so anyway overall i mean our health our health numbers are tremendous we were very very fortunate so i'm very appreciative of lori herman and all of our health staff all throughout the coffee county health department dr sawyer and everybody at coffee health systems that are helping us out as well as the pharmacy auburn pharmacy and other places we're just very fortunate to have a lot of really good people helping us out so i
019don't know if you want if we want to take a like make a motion and vote on this adjusted health and absence guideline we can if we just want to continue it with this adjustment as our crack i mean it's up to you i don't think we haven't voted on it before on any of our adjustments yes and i kind of think that's what we've said is okay and then the last item i have um uh sean miner's here mr sean myers from meridian roofing they have worked on our actually our high school roof project a summer ago and then this this summer and into the fall on our middle school roof project we've been in touch we've been in touch with sean throughout the project as well as clark clark simpson and i can
020call part tonight on the phone he's available by phone if you have any questions for him basically over this project over the time frame of this project i think we've dealt with material issues as far as getting materials here material pricing we dealt with transportation and shipping and freight on materials and so on so forth with that being said i want to turn it over to sean he has some information he'd like to share with you about the middle school project and then just uh to discuss the you know the potential of maybe working with our contingency amount that we have again we did not use any contingency funds on this project at all which was tremendous and that was a twenty thousand dollar amount to maybe help out with the increased costs and increased
021costs that we've had with this project so sean i'll turn it over to you okay um thank you for letting me talk this is kind of an unusual situation for me i've never been in this situation to have to come back to a customer like this but this year's presented some challenges and we did this project back in march normally pricing doesn't fluctuate that much but we've been getting hit almost every every other week on some items and then every month on some others so whereas like the high school roof everything worked out fine no problem this one this one we're taking kind of a hit and i just want to come and feel like a better term just looking for some help maybe from the district to help offsets on this cost there were
022some other things that went wrong with this one that we're going to address um that also kind of compounded things for us with that swim blown through is there any insurance [Music] we elected to not go that route because our insurance was going to go back on you guys so we just we had stovers come in and do the restoration we paid them just this week and then we just covered the cost of the damage that ceiling tire they picked up our panels and threw them all over the place it damaged the roof that we put on we had to tear that up we just will take care of that labor just the way it is but what i'm really looking for help on is just the materials that have just escalated out of control
023moving forward with districts just so you guys know a lot of bids that are coming out right now they're having contractors submit an actual like quote from our suppliers so that you can see okay it costs this much this time well then next summer that might be 40 more so then you can submit a quote at that time to the school districts and we're also putting in buffers now for i mean i just did one that i just threw 30 materials all right it's an arbitrary number i didn't know what else to do but project's not going to happen until the summer of next year so those are the things that we're doing moving forward unfortunately with this one have been out earlier this year we had no idea that this was going to happen
024so i guess that's that's all i want to be having questions for you so i appreciate you coming so i have a couple questions for you so you bid this in march is that right and then so when you purchase your materials from march or you wait and kill the project so the material for purchase and this goes what craig was talking about with um this year we're having a real problem getting materials here so even though we put in the order but normally would have taken four weeks or even six it took months for us to get like i didn't get the metal roofing material and i ordered it after we submitted the submittals to clark and we put in the order i didn't get it until the end of summer it was like
025september around that time through that they won't hold the pricing so they they're telling us that they're just gonna whatever that time when we ship it when it leaves the dock that's gonna be the price i guess i kind of understand the price increase i'm still i'm struggling with the fact that in fact if you purchase the material yeah and although the vendor could not get you the material that they're not going to hold their price and they're just going to increase their price they're going to say because xyz i believe but how do i how can i verify that you're not just gonna call just a little bit and say hey sir give me this extra for this how do i know that all of that truly happened like that i could provide order
026sheets from our suppliers that show the time that i ordered it to maybe when we actually got it on site i can i mean i can provide whatever i can that is something i i would like to see because i you know and i just went through this with another vendor on my personal side and they said i ordered it they didn't order for five months and then also the pressure left and i was like oh okay so and then then we couldn't get it so yeah so i hear what you're saying yeah from from our standpoint we're putting in orders as quickly as we get them even sometimes before we get a contract right now because of this problem um i mean if you guys had your bid out right now and you said
027hey let's do the middle school roof you're not getting it for a year even if i put in the order right now and you're going to pass yourself to cover some information with you in the document that shawn shared with me some some information regarding purchasing uh and price increases and according to clark simpson also our our architect with gibson mancini carmichael nelson clark and sean are both reiterating that roofing costs for example getting this done this year was a huge benefit to the district because it could be anywhere from 15 to a 40 increase so take 750 5 000 project and add 50 year roofs again so that's good news for us and we did get help from from uh we had to change some of the scope of work that clark had had
028put out to different materials so that we could even get it yeah so they they were great with working on that and again i've never been in this population i don't know what i don't know what to provide you if you ask me for it i'm gonna get you it um whatever i need to do i guess i don't know why you could do just a little bit what we talked about says okay you did this in march show me that you ordered this in march or april or whatever and provide those to create and you know you didn't order this in september when you get right right and then you know so and then i mean if you can provide that to craig i mean i guess i'm okay with providing these contingency allowance
029so yeah i would feel that same way when you're talking 15 to 40 percent increase this is like 1.8 so it's not even one word but yeah i understand has a question like this or has this ever happened with our board before if it was i would like to know what the board's recommendation was at that time i yeah overall has just caused it to be crazy everywhere i mean so we experience that hospital in lots of places the prices are fluctuating today well like i said in the letter um i've been doing this for almost 20 years not never never experienced anything like this so what's the dollar figure of help you're asking for well i'm really asking for anything the spreadsheet as you can see it's 49 000 difference that i'm eating right
030now there was a 20 000 allowance in the contract for the contingency that and i will say this i'm sorry go ahead oh i said we have the contingency if you know we can get those documents like james asks okay uh i will say meridian has been terrific to work with on both projects as well as taking care of storm damage in a very very timely manner um again their their people have been really good nice they've been good to work with and we're pleased we're pleased with them and they were originally with the original bidding process that we did back in march they were 80 000 low on the project to start with so um having said that it sounds like from what your direction you're giving me is to maybe get those submittals
031to show that they did put in those orders in that timely manner march april and if that happens then we will go ahead and do the contingency twenty thousand dollars to them for this you see the documents before you write the check sure okay sean can you get those to me yeah sooner the better yes so so what you're proposing so i'm proposing 20 000 but we're going to get the documents and the ambers we're all going to look at them separately as you send them out to us and say yeah nate and then you write him a check that will be fine um whatever the board is whatever the board's wishes are yeah i'm on board with seeing the documents and understanding that this time frames happened right okay i'll send them to you
032friday on a friday note scenario and and then i will give her about i'll talk with you as needed and we'll work on getting that taken care of so every time we step out and do something new we're set at presents so remember that when you left how in dire straits are we on this roofing job i mean is the roof falling apart do we have time just thinking ahead if we decided not to do it the project actually started late may early june somewhere in that neighborhood if i remember correction yeah i think i think yeah we felt like moving forward with the roof even though it was going to i talked to a number of contact construction people and contractors said you're not going to get this price again on this roof you
033need to take it away you can't you may be inconvenienced a little bit but again 15 to 40 on 755 000 roof that takes you into the millions you know it makes you into the million dollar range possibly so we felt like we needed to do that financially speaking so we use our money for other things so are the ruts fixed in the back of them and then we're going to give the district credit for the other damaged concrete circumstances all right and that's all i have okay move on to board member items any more reports any information like sure well i'd like to bring up i didn't add it to the agenda but i would like to talk about once again about the video taping or i don't want to say live streaming of
034ball games so i've got a lot of community requests about you know is i think you guys can't live stream i said well we talked about it once but we decided not to but it seems like it's increasing at least weekly that i'm getting people asked and then you know i gave them some reasons why maybe not but i think we need to revisit that and uh i had someone ask as well isn't there a way we can like have people pay yes i mean can't we have a payday view that's what i do yeah i'm going to ask dave to join in on the topic so again if you remember i think i shared with you in maybe october one of the friday notes in october about we as administration directors got together and
035talked about this and and we talked about the pros and the cons so if you're live streaming again people at home can't stay at home and watch and then of course they're not paying a fee to come in you know an admission fee and it does hurt you know gait for high school especially high school activities um you do run into scenarios too of okay if you go to a pay-per-view piece which you can do a pay-per-view and i'll let uh i'll let dave talk a little bit more about that but it becomes it does become a challenge when you're asking people to pay for something and let's say they have i know this is an extreme let's say they have a dial-up modem for internet connectivity and they don't get a connection there so
036then all of a sudden grandma in florida has got her dial up internet connection and she's not seeing what she's paid for and she's going to want to be refund refunded her universe you want somebody to refund it so there is therein lies those issues that we deal with we all of a sudden i guess they were like espn now and we're trying to provide video services uh dave before to turn and i really didn't think anything about this so much when we talked about now you know it's okay but i literally had three people in a row three people not related whatsoever and says i need this so the grandparents could watch and they live three states away and i was like oh i never thought about that i oh i thought about oh
037they're not going to go to the gate you know we're not going to make anyone but these people want to see and then they're saying they're we're going to other schools and those people are live streaming and the grandparents are calling into those and that's the only time you get to what you're granted that hurts so i had a grandparent ask me too um i guess one of the things that we also talked about is especially for grandparents or family members and i'm going to address basketball football volleyball uses it um we use hubble as our video platform our coaches allow our kids access to their once the game is loaded into the huddle system it's in the library they give kids that access once those kids have access to that game that they can
038share so they can share that game or show that link to grandma and grandpa in california it's not live it's still the game that's on so we actually have that capability right now so what's the reason we stopped just because okay now the school's open and nobody has to wear a mask or whatever one that's that's one of one of the reasons another reason is what credit we can have and it happened last year during the code epidemic i got a call said i can't see it it's not streaming well actually my parents can't see it they can't see it i said worse i pulled it up on my phone so it's an issue on their connection side so it could be their internet provider it could just be something within their computer whatever so
039you have those technical issues that we can't address because we're not even on our side the other issue that comes i guess from is staffing and i'm going to call it title 9 i don't know it would be title 9 but once you start you really need i guess we're right we've got to do it all we don't only have to do basketball we're going to do seven nights in wrestling how are we doing baseball how are we doing softball how are we doing track how we're doing football how we doing across country it opens that huge pandora's box that we've got to figure out a way to stream all this and staff it to be an illustrator are we a district that can't figure that out we can't we they're doing tick tock videos
040all the time and then you might as well start doing them but part part of that too i understand what you're saying but part of that too again you have to remember that we have a lot of kids involved in a lot of different activities so they may be wrestling or you know cross-country or yeah you get the idea of basketball so back to the james's question yet can we do it we can do it we've done it before and but part of that problem is now okay we we've done it once so now people expect it yeah what size can you send out [Music] or they're using nfhs which is the pixel last year nfhs oversold they had more video cameras and that's that's nationwide because it's the national high school federation there were
041people paying 70 for their membership and never getting gained because their server was overloaded they had too much coming in so they didn't deal with it exactly what i agreed a little bit what selena said you put a disclaimer out there for that it says they'll get on there but i just say that i think that the administrators put your heads together and figure out if it's basketball somebody from basketball needs to be able to do that but you say you're you're already you're already doing hugs so you're already doing for those things yes but so i'm just saying somebody's already doing that it's it's within the system because the camera's mounted they're on the wall yeah basketball basketball is the least least word wrestling if you do it so you can have a high
042camera feeding wrestling but now you've got four mats and you've got little stick people what they're gonna look like on that bench we had nine the other night you can cover all the mats in the gym but now you're also going to have to have ipads along every other mac in the wrestling room because we don't have a pedal camera there to cover those mats and that extra is it doable yes my issue is the parents that our parents grandparents that are coming now how do we also figure out those parents grandparents whatever they want to see baseball they want to see softball they want to see someone throw the jab on and how do we get covered i mean coverage with wireless connection out in the middle of our practice field that's going to
043be i mean doable gas so those huddle videos you said that students can share them correct so why and we all know how well high school students share things so why don't we just put that on our website because then you have to have access it's a protected system so when if if you're justin logan's basketball player he gives you access to that library now you can't actually share that you can't have a comment can we just have a common one where it's like hey here's last night's basketball game check it out to just a generic login so what's our expense that cost to pay people to do it to find what you know like you're what people talked about having people pay and see it right what is the real expense the cost of
044labor the cost of labor and finding those workers right right but not up not live stream does not cost us like we already pay for internet a lot so there's no feeling like if i'm paying to watch the game i'm asking you there's gonna be a software there has to be a software that you think [Music] and i don't know if courtney can answer that and probably i don't know that we have a license with youtube to have that fee but that was also from the indoor sports correct correct yeah indoor sports we live streamed it to youtube for no cost except for we paid for it and we have to pay for a hubble subscription right but you're doing that right correct that's causing the cost maybe i'm being do something yeah but so
045if you were to say wrestling if you put a camera in the corner of the gym and look over all the wrestling mats and you hook that camera to youtube they're watching the thing live and they may not zero in on their grandson but they're gonna pick them out of the crowd over there and say hey that's my grandson i don't know i don't know because last year i tried to watch when we had a burlington duel here our former neighbor kid was wrestling for silverlake and i had the thing up on my deal and it was just like i was like trying to guess which match he was i couldn't tell who any of them were carter i mean you know like i so i feel like definitely if you have a one camera
046thing no way because like that thing you could like they all look the same with those suits to me you know they have those things on their heads yeah in our in our tournament that we didn't say yeah this was my favorite table here yeah right there just last year i couldn't tell but yeah then every distance throw every jumper every yeah and that's my fear is you open it you should i mean i feel like you should cover it all and that's that's where it gets real nice sounds like a full-time broadcast you're going to say maybe well i was going to finish what i was saying um every year at state tournament you can go into the software website and it's developed where you find your kid what bracket he's in what maddie's
047going to be on you click on that and that there's an ipad on that table i mean it wouldn't be hard we've already got laptops at each table we've got wi-fi in the buildings how can we just set the system up like that um and that's pretty much the same with all the indoor sports the outdoor sports is where you're gonna get complicated um but i think that's the big deal for wrestling and basketball is just you know set up something with a wide angle yeah to where you're going to see it so you have an ipad next to the computer yeah it just sits on the score it sits yeah mike said wrestling basketball football one that's when we have the camera mounted that will be taken care of it's volleyball creates an issue
048because depending on which court varsity at your university you're going to be filming both courts and you're not going to have a good view of either one so that creates an issue with volleyball cross capturing so i brought this up now it might get complicated but maybe it is complicated but uh i think my administrator got enough smarts to try to figure out something if you can't then bring it back and say there's a way we can do it so one thing we talked about and i shared with you i think back in october when we were discussing this and whether we to live stream or not live stream as you can tell there's a lot more than just hey there's a camera watch and and when you throw in pay-per-view people are expecting a
049return for their investment and they want they want they want to see the game if you're charging them twenty dollars a game you know to watch but also too we talked about if we are limiting attendance at an event we will livestream so for example the veterans day program we did a live stream for veterans day program because we limited attendance that not everybody could come in we just felt like that was happening during the school day with that happening during the school day we wanted to take health safety precautions and into consideration for all of our students and our staff so that was the reason that we live streamed the cert against certain events when you limit attendance and then we say because we're not limiting attendance right now for basketball wrestling volleyball football
050that type of thing and that's your choice to attend then again we just we decided not to live stream those events it sounds it might be catching from you guys you guys would like to have us dive in more so into this and see if there's a way we can provide this yes i'm i think it should be live stream and i also think that we should not charge people because that is our out if it messes up and doesn't work oh well i mean you know it did it's happened right you're a corner like we try get messed up battery died whatever i don't know we're not about anything you know well and i would put that in your left your list or question that you send out you know since you've been live
051streaming have you seen a drop in how much has it affected your ticket sales you know whatever i mean have that that's part of your we don't have to worry about it i don't think firmware has to worry about i don't think i think it'll be your people who are far away mr watkins might feel a little differently because that helps [Music] because again funding we do we try not to use this we try to use as little as possible from our general fund to fund certain things like for example he ends up paying for gate receipts official costs workers all basic event event issues i try to do something a lot better what might help you is if you don't charge people but you give them the option to donate fortnite we charge more
052to get in or come ask us for money i mean we you know we're really happy about it i mean i don't know if we never said no yeah the unfortunate thing with dave is we're dictated by the league but outside [Music] and it's pretty quiet because i was under it and you can't even hear it come down i was like ooh the first yeah friday night i did have one of the officials saying it's bigger than anderson county so i'm gonna go live i think he's broken no it was nice okay any other member items if not we'll move on to contracts approvals appointments for drivers educational fees correct and here's some information uh that i'm sharing with you in preparation for next year's driver's education program there are a number of districts that
053again that do not offer driver's education program so we're very fortunate to have that be the case here i shared with you some information again in that public context one thing and this this will not be voted on this will be something we have to go through negotiations we're probably going to have to look at improving our driver education hourly pay for our instructors uh christie and i did some research into not only league schools but also throughout the state what what people are paying driver's ed teachers and we're so far behind guys 22.50 is currently the amount it said pay at same pay as a summer school that we pay summer school instructors we are so far behind guys it's not even it's not even funny league schools are paying 25 25 an hour
054or more and if you look at the ksbe site when we looked at that information we saw anywhere i'm going to say from 25 to 50 an hour um it's part of the negotiated agreement but for what we're doing tonight we're approving the fee structure and i i'm fearful in talking with mr reed mr watkins both we we will only right now have one driver's head teacher for next year because two people most likely will not what one person is going to teach elsewhere for 35 an hour in another district and this is that i mean it's just it's a special mental commitment right so having said that we're probably going to have to look to increase that amount but again we're not voting on that tonight just want to make sure you understand that
055what we're looking at doing is setting our feed rates for in resident student resident students as well as non-resident students and um but i just want to make you guys aware of that i know for me personally i'm first and my son and my daughter had to go to salina to do driver's education because mcpherson school district got rid of the driver's head program so we had to make a 30 minute plus trip throughout you know the times that they needed to be this if we don't keep our driver's ed program growing him going here we could end up having parents that have to go to ottawa topeka emporia kansas city for driver's education so we probably want to try to do that to me as much as possible as much as we can to
056make that happen for local drivers education if we improve our fee structure you know salary structure for um for driver's head teachers we may be able to keep that going do we get a lot of non-residents um last year i don't think we had a single one we did not have a single one i think we've had a few in the past couple of years so again the fee structure set up is what we're looking at i'm sorry it's a 300 i think for non-residents yeah yeah i don't think the negotiator negotiations i don't think that well again it'll be something we'll bring up at negotiations i would hope that they would be happy that we're looking to pay our staff more that are interested in doing this so other ques other questions or comments
057about this information regarding driver's education reimbursed we didn't yes and that is was it 122. oh state revenue per student yes good question anything else i'm going to approve the driver education fees for the summer of 2022 at 100 per resident student and 300 for non-resident student admitted to the program next item is the concrete bid um okay we did have two vendors bid for concrete projects within the district again with that you'll see a document coming up on there um we will um again to actually as you can see the bids are very very close in relationship to you know the projects and what it was done uh what we asked to have in bid to be done um we did uh have a pre-dead meeting with both companies uh met with brad griffin
058and reviewed and looked over all pieces of information there's also two other things that we requested in the bid process to include and we asked them to include a copy of bid bond if over a hundred thousand dollars as well as a copy of certificate of insurance burlington construction provided both those items precision did not with that and they like i said they presented themselves well um you know in the time they met with brad so again two very reputable companies but uh one filled both you know items that we asked to include and the other one did not so i'm you know all about selecting local vendors as much as we can and the county does a thing where that's percentage good question christy and i spent a lot of time on this so
059there's a one percent rule in the state of kansas if you if you have these if let's say for example they both provided both documents you would have a one percent rule that you could go back to the local vendor and ask them if they would meet that price of an out-of-town vendor and and if they will if it's if both bids are within one percent then you can do that but that's the state that's okay that's that's the statement [Music] city and county are different some people five percent something to go ten percent it's it just depends you're right good question yes other questions that you have no i just wondered about the alternate or i missed the one through sevens right i've been talking with brad griffin we're gonna go ahead and go
060my recommend our recommendation would be to go with items projects one through seven um this is uh a little more than we did last year but we were going to do a little less last year if you remember in concrete um and uh but it's actually a little bit less than what we've done in years past we've done upwards of 170 180 190 000 in concrete just depends on the year depends on if you've got you know a harsh winter and the concrete's you know getting hammered and salt can obviously deteriorate concrete and there are other factors as well but uh so this baseball dung out not the softball this is the baseball there's an area around uh real close to the baseball area that is a it's a mowing issue for our crew the
061most it's like kind of like a zigzag it's hard to get into the outside so we're going to get rid of that and also it's a mud it's a place where mud collapse so it's a small it's a it's not a huge area but it's going to help it's going to help our our staff not our ground staff to go in and be able to they won't have to go in and mow around there they won't have to deal with again the the coaches and the players won't have to deal with mud that just piles up and collects in this area the elementary school front entrance is uh remember if we remember when we talked about the board retreat we talked about maybe getting rid of that area in there where it's like uh it's
062a garden right now we're not based on just some informations and thoughts we just don't know maybe um you know what the future might hold with that area and so having said that we're going to hold off on that we may end up doing something with that we can come back later if we later in the summer if you decide but for right now we just aren't sure about a couple of things you said no no no sums it up nicely yeah okay some other ideas yes so what do we have budgeted for this this year and so uh i i roughly 150 000. so it's a little bit over budget but those items one through seven um again uh i'd say just a little bit more than what uh i was hoping to do
063but jeremy can maybe even speak to the price of concrete because if i remember right it's going up ten dollars a cubic yard from january one um they're projecting the cement in the concrete is projected to up at least 10 yards there i know my rebar pricing last year if you're if you break that down in the even square foot price it is considerably more than last year rebar last year i believe was five and a quarter by fifty ish when i buy a semi load this year it was nine and a quarter and they told me my price was only good for one day and that was two weeks ago when we did this so it's the same exact same situation anything that is metal or um fuel driven put your water out there
064yes and our vendors are not they're not holding anything so i mean say you was awarded to us i would like to order my remarks tomorrow because i don't know what it's going to be good because i was just going to ask that because like ronnie just run up so if we were to award you the bid i mean if he was i don't want you to come back and say hey i need you if you want to warn me that [Music] as close as we can the high school parking lot this is where the current is right we're not yeah we are continuing yeah we are improving um there's areas that we're continuing as you can see in the high school area high school parking lot area there there are just new areas that
065we are adding actually it's not adding on it it's taking the old and replacing it yeah okay no it's not new it's not an additional it's removable of old bad concrete yeah yeah we talked about um there are some other random spots that really need some attention but it's like we've been going every year consecutive you know doing the front of stadium keep going it's like do you skip this piece and go ahead and do this one and i come back to this one in a few years or do you just keep yeah but that's one of the things if you don't just keep doing it every year you'll never go afford to do it all at once oh yeah yeah no way so yeah what are you looking at doing in front of the
066burlington middle school that's one of the middle schools so maine enters the sidewalk yeah it's from his ruts and i think everything else around there has already been replaced in previous years this is the last of the last of them improvements there so so why is good parking lot ten thousand dollars higher on your bid versus their bid are they lowballing us there or what's the difference bhs parking the bhs park number seven project seven right it's a little over ten thousand higher um my vendor that i'm using for the concrete was a hundred and twenty eight dollars a yard i do have another price from a different vendor that i would rather not use because they use fly ash full slag and other stuff as fillers and it's 95 a yard i am using
067the higher price vendor from straight c not only and i do have them documents if you'd like to see them so a tougher product for that 110 i would not use anything with fillers it really is it's just fillers to take heat up some weight in the concrete i mean they put cold slag fly ash all sorts of stuff in there we use a straight sea menstruation and i don't know if that's the case with the other vendor with precision if they're using a different product i i don't know for sure when you look at them again in terms of okay you have one project that's a different price but then you see maybe three others that are less from like from burlington and strategy and they're like seven thousand yeah it varies um but
068other questions or comments that you have to make a motion to prove the concrete amount of 159 372 from burn construction inc for projects one through seven a second so motion segment for proven concrete bid with you load our computers and i'll say if jeremy and sean you guys want to stay here you're welcome to say but if you need to get going we totally understand next item for contract approval is [Music] thank you guys there are some information on the bid recommendation and some summary of the whole landing system okay mr watkins took the lead on this because eight different vendors uh i i turned it over to him to ask for not only uh coaches but uh some more i would say whatever you tell me who else you've got to do uh
069mr watkins well i talked with i talked with the two vendors i thought had had the most record bowl talked to several different schools each had one with one landing system one of them they're both very good landing systems they both met all the big specs um talked with a couple of pole vault coaches that have had kids that are you know state level 14 and 15 foot old walters their recommendation was always if you want to go as deep as you can and then over from the vault box back as deep as you possibly can it's just safer so the one map has a little bit it's about eight inches further or longer i guess you recall it from the ball box back to the end of the mat a couple of the coaches
070are sold that's what they have on the ucs mat i talked to another school a.d at another school group they just bought a richie and they're very happy with it they both meet all the standards as far as federation and acacia standards the one thing that some of the coaches talk about in the ucs mat as opposed to richie is i guess you would call a more gradual taper around the vault box area and they they believe there's less rebound effect one the steeper it is and a lot of mats are square kids will hit on that edge that actually balances a little bit this has a gentle taper so they do get some of the slide so they think it's safer i i don't know what are the questions though that's the information i
071gained um both companies said they can deliver they want to have a longer warranty than the other so you're saying one says eight inches deeper yeah [Music] you have the one vulture who sometimes gets close to getting off the back just being survived is that the original replacement that's it was in capital outlay for either this year good no good question good question but it is uh the weather cover we you know duct tape and bailing wires we've been keeping that thing together and unfortunately we figured out your system to strap them down but you guys know kansas wins suddenly yeah previous times you just bolt them down sometimes they get free so and over time they do sit out the material underneath which is a vinyl it will get holes and everything so that
072that foam you are more of an expert on pole vaults than when you entered the wall landing systems yeah so which one at the end of the day we did the recommendation for the united cannabis and slain company which is ucs do they stay out year round no once when season's over they go back up and they're suspended and what you call those things those platforms underneath the stadium so they're off the ground yeah so they have a chance that there isn't anybody without a chance to drain out okay yeah so they go out about the second week of the season and then as soon as they're done there's some very large like scaffolding shelving in underneath the football stadium that helps protect our our mats for longevity and that scaffolding won't fit that yes
073okay yeah we can landing system in the amount of 22 490 from united canvas in sling and we moved yes where's your passes firing he's on to the personnel section of the agenda there's an item there for the executive session for some time if anybody wants to go back and talk okay okay it looks like for life promotion for an executive session we'll move on to the superintendent contract a commercial approved contractor craig marshall superintendent for the 2022-23 and 2022-24 schools motion second floor superintendent contract and we'll go to our computers motion passes 4-1 move on to item c for principal contracts moved to pre-play contract with stacey reid high school principal dave watkins high school assistant principal slash athletic director matthew spring middle school principal and darvo elementary school principal for the 2022-23 and
