001[Music] uh the boy scouts would you like to lead us in the flag the pledge of allegiance yes to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands one nation under god indivisible with liberty and justice for all thank you okay are there any additions to the agenda you have a motion to approve the consent agenda don't make a motion to prove the consent agenda item as presented moved in second is there any discussion motion fast 7-0 concerns of burlington ufc 244 patrons have anybody that wants to talk to them boy scouts want to say anything okay uh next on the agenda stay smart okay i didn't know i was gonna have such a such a big audience so boy scouts and all i'm just gonna i've just
002two things here because i'm old school i didn't i didn't use the technology the wonderful technology available i'm sorry um those are just a couple of handouts um it is stacy and i'm a school psychologist i cover burlington middle school in burlington high school this is my 20th year i think as a school psychologist in this district and this week is national school psychology week so it's recognized nationally it used to be school psych awareness week but they've just changed it to national school psychology week we have a proclamation by the state of kansas for national school psychology week and i just wanted to talk a little bit about my position and what school psychologists do in the schools as part of school psychology week i kind of like to take the opportunity what i
003tell other schools is to educate advocate and celebrate what we do it's a sort of a unique position and this sheet i won't cover all of it you guys can take that and look it over there's a lot to cover there is our job covers so many different facets it's just hard to cover it all in a five minute time period but you can kind of look at that and see what we do the big things and then the second part is our nas practice model which this is our updated practice model that um just came into effect july of 2020 so this is very recent it's kind of hard to read but you can kind of get the gist of what we do it talks a little bit about what we're responsible for obviously
004improving academic achievement is huge promoting positive behavior in mental health supporting diverse learners creating safe positive school climates strengthening family and school partnerships improving school-wide assessment accountability and on the back it talks about specific training and part of the reason that i wanted to do this is because there's a huge shortage of school psychologists across the nation and the national association of school psychologists really wants to see a ratio of one to five hundred or one to seven hundred school psychologists per student and that doesn't happen very often we are very fortunate in our county that we do have that we have a ratio of about one to five hundred because we have three school psychologists in our county that's not always been the case we used to have two and we survived with two
005but with the newer demands on mental health and behavioral issues and all of the things that we see in our in our society it has really made a huge difference to add that third person and also of course now we have the new dyslexia guidelines which are already since the district did the dyslexia training that's already adding a lot to our plates because people are all of a sudden requesting dyslexia evaluations left and right once people were trained they started saying oh that's my kid that's this kid that's that kid so we've already seen those evaluations rolling in so that's a huge part of what we do part of the reason i think there is a shortage is because of the training that's involved so in kansas it's different kind of across the nation but
006in kansas you have a bachelor's degree then a master's degree then you go on to get a specialist degree and then we have to do a full time semester kind of like student teaching practicum for a full semester that's typically unpaid sometimes it's paid kind of just depends on the district and then in addition to that your first full year of working as a school psychologist is an internship that is a paid internship but you're still also doing university coursework so it's a pretty grueling program and i think that's a lot of the reason that there is a shortage and part of this too is just to get the word out even to younger kids kids in high school looking for a path to go looking for a direction to go it is a good
007job it's a hard job and there's a lot of responsibilities that come with it and it's a long program but it's it's a great job so we want to get the word out to send kids in this direction because there are very few of our young kids when they're looking for post-secondary there are very few of them who look at this who really know what this is as a field we also have in kansas we're very fortunate through emporia state we have what we call the wasp program that is work authorization so someone who is in a related field social worker special education teacher maybe clinical psychology can apply to a program through emporia state and kind of take a fast track to be a school psychologist in the state so they have to fill
008out an application then there's some specific coursework they have to complete then they can get a kind of a quicker faster certification license while they continue to work and get more experience in the field and that's been a really good program the problem is we need more like we have just a few slots a year and so that's not filling our slots fast enough so any the state has anywhere between 20 and 40 openings on any given year in school psychology it used to be closer to 40. right now there's i don't know i think 20 on the website but tons of districts just don't even advertise because they've advertised so many years and they can't even get applicants so they put advertising so if we really wanted to fill that one to 500 or
0091 to 700 ratio we would probably need 90 you know tomorrow so that's going to if we ever i mean that's that's a dream that's a goal we all have but that's going to take a lot more people to fill that and so really just i mean our main the main thing we do is not a counselor we do we do counseling we can counsel we have we're highly trained in counseling mostly we do assessment and evaluation for special education so we're involved in all of the student improvement teams in the buildings we talk about interventions that we can do before kids ever get to be evaluated then we participate in that evaluation we do transition to post-secondary things like students who might need to go on to a local cddo like cof or something
010like that we're very involved in helping families with those types of things we have very specific training in things like crisis intervention suicide prevention suicide screening if we have someone call us and say hey we had a student who made some comments or wrote this on a paper and the counselors do this as well but go in talk to them decide what the risk is then sometimes we have to make that phone call to parents to explain to them what their child may have said and what kind of supports they need to get the child and what direction they need to go to get help for that student those kinds of things um specifically needing to to be highly trained in the exceptionalities that we cover in special education so like learning disabilities autism again
011things like dyslexia that's the new buzzword in the state well school psychologists have been trained in dyslexia for years and years it's not new to us so having it be so prevalent and the latest kind of push in the state it's right up our alley um we definitely don't have all the answers though that being said because it's changed a little bit it used to be that we've never looked at school psychologists to do a dyslexia diagnosis those came from medical professionals or came from the outside now we're looking more at we would make an educational diagnosis so there's a lot of changes a lot of things going on in our field really do a lot with evidence-based intervention so if a student hasn't gotten to that point that they need an evaluation we work
012with the team on what kind of interventions we can do to help that student so that maybe they don't ever get to the point of evaluation or if they get to evaluation and we say well they don't qualify we can do things another way then we go back to the school and say here's the things you need to be trying in order to help this student be successful because everything just goes back to how we can help students be successful in school and the things that you know we don't know that people really think about is when you are doing an evaluation and you have parents give you information and you get to know that student and all of a sudden bells and whistles start going up and you have to sit down and have
013a really hard conversation with the parent to maybe tell them for the first time that you think their child may have autism or that you think their child has a learning disability so those are big hard decisions that are not fun for anyone and then again helping them what path they're going to go then to get the help they need or to get a specific diagnosis or medication regimens or whatever it may take again to help that student be successful but not easy not easy things to do and so really we just wanted you all to be aware since it is our week um what we do and again the shortage but like i said we're very fortunate and thank you for that that we have what we need in our district um now i'm
014leaving so you have to replace me yes i am the current president-elect of the kansas association for school psychologists so uh president-elect it's a three-year term so i do president-elect then in january i will start as president of that association i will do that for a year and then the third year is past president which i will also be in charge of certain conferences and duties and we have about 200 members give or take um practicing in the state right now that are members of the kansas association of school psychologists so and i was just telling monique right before this started we had a really successful fall conference did it 100 virtually and it went off without a hitch it was unbelievable the amount of time and effort that was put into it had great
015speakers social justice is one of the big pushes right now in for school psychologists across the nation and so we had some training on social justice we have training on dyslexia so yeah we have that once a year then we have a spring conference that usually has more to do with like academic pieces i was fortunate enough to get to go to baltimore last year you didn't pay for that but you did give me the time off for that so i appreciate that my organization paid for that to the national conference and it's just and it was a week it was a week long it was more than a week but amazing bits of information there this year that's going to be virtual too unfortunately so i don't get to go anywhere but right before
016it was it was in february yeah yeah so thank you so much and let me know if you have any questions student recognition by the way i'd like to thank stacy she's in my building a lot i know she's in matt's building a lot and the things that she does and the advocate how she advocates for kids is unlabeled so she does a tremendous job in the profession that she deals with uh we're getting ready to do the cross-country team and i'll just talk a little bit about them as they're coming in i think three out of four there uh four kids made the state this year uh they still had to go kind of through the voucher system and they had four of them uh as well and i don't know where we're gonna
017put everybody this is mj huff she uh was one of the in the top 50 at state participating we have lillian she was in the top third thirty twenty eight and then you were ready four forty four and thirty thirty thirty four and twenty twenty eight that's all right and you're fast these two these two uh got to go and did a tremendous job there the cross country team and i can let you know how hard it is with that he gets really fired up with how well these kids do it's cross country truly is a cohesive group of people i mean and they it's it's a different type of uh sport than any other sport out there because i coached it a long time apart and man they cheer for each other and they
018grow and learn and brian pear is our uh he's our senior that got to go this year the first time er and was this your first well i've been through three times seth was not here tonight he's at the play uh he this was his second time to be all state he was 19th this year he's good and seth has done a tremendous job uh but again guys these people put so much time and effort into it and being a cross-country coach for the time that i spent with these kids when i was coaching i see how they grow and from the time they start and how they really uh strive to make everybody in the uh feel better you know when you're in football you know you want your team to do really well
019but you don't get to go off to the sidelines sometimes and get to watch you know them because you may be playing at the same time these guys get to watch each other do the races a lot of times and and the amount of camaraderie that the girls and boys put in with each other is really a cool deal so congratulations on the great yeah yeah so slide on over so you guys you didn't have your picture [Applause] congratulations [Music] um [Music] you just get to see bits and pieces tonight but this is part of the reason why the school year is going so good that's right kids are participating working hard so good job guys you go around the other one you guys either go that way whatever the next group that we have
020is the uh ku honors uh you have to be in the top 10 of the class to give you so this is the top of the topic right here that and a few of them are well scholars bowl play things are going on but there are some that are coming in tonight and i want to tell you guys just a little bit about what what they do at the beginning of the school year usually it's around the 1st of november early in september we send in our list we get we know who gets nominated because they have to be in the top 10 of our class but normally emporia every year and a lot of other locations but emporia is usually the closest to us they get to go and head to a banquet and
021it used to be where you ate and all that but it's no longer where you eat you usually just go there and they have snacks and groups of kids come from their schools and there's always a large group at emporia they get to go and it's it's a we usually have a speaker there uh usually mr marshall and i and the parents are always over there they've canceled that or postpone it this year there is an opportunity that they will get it back in the spring where we can take these kids over there to to be recognized as top 10 percent or class so without further ado i'm going to announce again the elite of the elite and you'll find that that's why our class that's why i feel like the school year is going
022so well just because of the great kids that we have who do we have first out there who gets to go katie merkemeyer going out katie uh come on up you guys get to stand here and smile michael watkins come on out braden sawyer sierra and libby spidel and we're missing jacob he has some gender new guards after our sets and those i know they're both were here at school today they both told me they were a scholars bowl and they were going to have to do the flight again i would tell you that uh the thing that i miss is we're not going to get to go over there in november but i'm truly hopeful that guys will be able to do something in the second semester where at least we can go over
023there hear the speaker it's always a treat to see the elite of the elite walk up on stage and you get to see the other kids from the other communities as well but uh i always feel pretty comfortable with the top 10 of our class okay and these are some really really good kids and like i told them the reason the school year is going so well is because of these kind of kids they are the guys that wear their mask they make sure people are other other people are wearing their mask they're asking them to do the things that they need to be doing in school and that's what has to happen if you're going to have a good school year so i'll let you take your picture okay real quick and i guess
024last thing is they're taking their picture is this group over here in the corner that's that's why they are so good because those parents are very supportive in all the activities that we have at the school so congratulations thanks for coming thank you and that's why you get to be the principal and enjoy what you do okay written items if one thank you i'll pass that around it's also on our electronically uh bes if they have anything for dark life i like that you're doing virtual life after school anybody have anything for [Music] middle school yeah wrestling it's like almost over something right close to the flesh like you're like okay high school i think mr reed i personally did the band clinician part of that i appreciate that they you had them come and
025they at least got to do something for i've had a lot of comments on that yeah lots of comments on uh because there's no marching band competitions this year we brought in two clinicians and went took the kids out and did the marching on the field and then they raided them and besides just rating them they came out and they spent about an hour with them talking about individual things that they could work on to keep preparing themselves and when those things do happen when the marching band stuff has occurs and is very very well received okay so this web report uh and lindsay graf is not here tonight uh unfortunately she didn't feel very well this afternoon so you guys said go on and go on home and feel better so if you have
026anything for lindsay just you can let me know and i'll make sure i get it to you via email this week there aren't as many openings no it's good technology report doug do you want to talk i'm good if you have questions happiness or they're quiet yeah like a church past i appreciate everything that technology's doing to keep kids learning whether it's home or school or however it is that's for sure it's definitely it's it's in flux it seems to be more in flux right now than than it's been so we've got so we just keep keep working keep pushing um i shared with you in the notes a little bit about boundnet and i know craig's updated you about that as well so we are we are talking to a couple other companies trying
027to bring you know that that are interested in this area and trying to trying to bring a product in so um you know we're just it's one of those deals that was that was very it was very worrisome for us there were roughly 342 families of those we predicted that about 80 percent of them were worse or families of school-aged kids so the impact would have been pretty significant right now so superintendent report we have an american education week coming up here november 16th through 20th and again just want to thank everybody that has done just a wonderful job uh each and every year especially this year you know we just have a lot of really dedicated and passionate professionals working with our students so again thank you to all of them and we'll be
028celebrating uh american education week coming up next week administrators and directors went through the title ix training on october 19th we're all trained as investigators and decision makers and i'm going to be serving as the title ix coordinator for the district and they will all depending on scenarios provide that investigator um you know part or decision maker part there's that process that you guys are aware of we still may need to have you guys go through a very basic training with kade okay spsf just so you'll be aware it's about an hour long training um that we'll look to do just so you guys will be already and hopefully we never have to deal with any title nine complaints but if we do we'll kind of work out you know you know the scenarios and
029help out one another so for example if darla were to have a complaint in her building the investigator piece decision maker piece would have to be somebody different it would have to be matt or stacy or dave one of those people and vice versa so they would help each other out in case there's some sort of an issue to deal with so um i talked with you guys at the at retreat about uh we discussed this last year about some things that board members wanted to see graduates possess and i shared this with you and you guys want you guys to just look at this and see it a year later if these things are still the things that we need to look at and tracey's gonna try to zoom in a little bit go
030ahead sit down at the bottom zoom more there you go yeah so these were the things that you guys talked about last year 2019 board retreat um a lot of those things are very important as you can tell and if you have these things in your toolbox as a student you're going to be pretty darn successful so resiliency is rising to the top right very much a year a year ago we didn't know how important that was we knew it was important but yeah any questions or comments or thoughts on any of those adaptability they've really shown that we don't want that up there but they have demonstrated i'll share that list i did it last year i did share that list with our staff just as a reminder you'll notice on there again like
031i mentioned last year notice on there there's nowhere that it says test scores and they're important don't get me wrong test scores aren't important but man if you've got those things like i said if you've got those things in your toolbox you probably are doing pretty well with your academics so again i'll send this out as a reminder to our staff how important that these these skills are for our kids to be in you know just be very strong members of our community in the future and communities wherever they may land and locate something and then the next item the proposed hybrid learning model and i know i've shared this with you we've shared this with staff october 19th at staff in service we shared this with our people we also um have started to
032share with our site councils as you guys have found out um we are sharing this again our administrators and directors have kind of come up with this basic proposal this beginning point if you will we want input we're going to take input from everyone board members you guys as board members and again this is a model that we hope we never have to use we don't ever want to have to use it but if somehow someone lay in the state federal government county health department says we need to go to a like an every other day model a hybrid model where we've got kids let's say on mondays half the kids are in in school on site and the other half they'll be you know in a model where they're at home remotely learning and
033then on tuesday they just switch the half that was in school they'll be at home and half those at home they'll be in school on tuesday so again it's in every other day they'll still be going to school every day just one half of them could be going on site and one half could be going remotely and again we hope we never have to do this but we do kind of have to be prepared kind of boy scout model always be prepared right guys so anyway so this is a beginning framework that we have and again dlt meeting on thursday morning with our district leadership groups that we have we're going to be you know talking with our community advisory committee probably setting up a meeting next week sometime because again we want the input
034from everybody we want to make sure we do this as best as we can so we do again i want to emphasize we have no plans to go to this model at all until we have the direction from again county health state health or federal mandate so any comments or any questions or any thoughts that you guys as board members have on the hybrid model are you going to put the groups together ahead of time in case like if you know we get the you have to go to this then we're already ready and matt you can go ahead and speak on that sure the groups are all done we did it based upon the primary home address so if there's a kid from every building then they're all that family is a red day
035okay um those groups are all done stacey and ron i worked on it we got a format letter to send i mean so if it if it were to happen the only thing that we would ask is can we have a couple days before it's just that everything everything is done and set based upon that home address and so families will all be going that first you know i say that they'll be iffy if you get safe if you've got three kids and your family at home they're all going on the red day and then you get the idea we want to put families together so they can support one another help out each other so yes we created a district calendar that shows when a red day is when a great day is sent
036home um exactly any other questions or comments from the board or anything okay all right building report card review yeah this is kind of this is the time when we do this however we did not have state assessments last year so really the report part is really the year we're going to miss last year let's say last year before is information um if this and so the information there is it's really it's nothing new it's the same information that we had before um so this is the time we review this and uh we just left it on the agenda and just wanted to let you guys know there's really nothing new no no information it's data from the year previous so okay board reports one thing we have on here is the ksb convention and
037delegate assembly uh james right that information sent to me does anybody else want to attend that those things i don't [Music] and then there's the additional like law conference that's an additional cost and some other things that day but yeah i mean you could sign up and not have to wait for two days you could just pop in and out your links should work any time i think james is the only one the only other thing i have is uh i think it was february maybe before coveted but shane had brought up the idea of having a motorized flag for the high school as some schools also have that throughout the state in the high school gym and i've collected money for that so we did get all the donations covered for that so we
038approved just a few tonight then the rest will be approved next month so they will progress in that flag good job thank you okay capital outlay fund okay capital outlay you have a lot of information there in the public content um that just talks a little bit about uh you know what we've done in the past what we're looking to do in the future again you guys are very very in tune with our our capital outlay information tracy has a document up here um that she utilizes uh she put together for you guys to kind of show you we'll actually get the zoom out to the right if you there you go okay and this is a basic report you know from where we started the beginning of the year you can see our cash
039balance on on july 1 of 2020 where we stand and then the different projects that we have going on you know we're very fortunate in here in burlington that we can utilize capital outlets or improvements part of that that's a positive but then part of that becomes a challenge because you know and you've seen when you look to try to project three four five years out costs of things they change and so you know if you just approve a bond issue for example in which we unfortunately don't have to do here because our capital outlay situation is really good you can do a bond issue you you lock in your costs you do the project and you're done but with us again it's a little different because we're projecting out okay how long is this
0401989 chill or at the elementary school going to last we want to milk it out as long as we can before you know we want to get every penny out of it if you will what about a boiler what about uh you get the idea there's a lot of different things we try to do so that's that document there that you can see there's a lot of different expenses that we deal with a lot of improvements that we make in while this team my fifth year you guys as a board have been very supportive of us making things better for our students and for our teachers they give them a great place to teach our teachers and this great place to learn for our students and just continuing to improve this document is the one
041that i remember from almost day one when i started this job that you guys wanted to see and i think sometimes i dream about this document or maybe it's a nightmare but it's it's really it's been very helpful and i want to thank tracy tracy and i work hand in hand on this and she is just tremendous you know just for us to think about different things i want to thank our administration directors too because they are involved in this it's not just craig marshall deciding what we do or don't do its administration director has given me feedback that hey we can we can push out a year or two more on this uh boiler or we can move out a year or two on this oven in the kitchen or whatever the case might
042be so we've got a lot of different things that we're looking at this year as you can see on the list and some things we can you can see that have already been done so we have that estimated cost the actual cost and then the date when those things have been done and one of the big items that we have this year is the bms roof and that's going to be a determination here we'll get specs out and ready for a bid in january hopefully you'll be able to prove it in february again nobody like nobody likes to spend money on a road because you can't see a roof you can see a new bus you can see a new you know a new gym or a knee jam floor you can see a new
043classroom first grade wing or new science rooms but a roof is pretty important and so we may end up doing half of that roof we may end up doing the whole roof it just kind of depends on the cost and the price one of the things that whenever you bring a roofing company in there's a cost for mobilization so when they come on site there's a set up cost if you will so if you bring them in to do half the roof and then the next year you do the other half you're going to be paying some you know like an additional cost if you will that next year you're going to be paying your setup costs and that's something tracy and i've talked about margarito and i have talked about do we look to
044do that whole roof project so when we do that roof bid in january to be approved in february we're probably going to give them you know an option one to do half the road the north basically the north half of that roof is the one that really needs to be repaired it needs to be replaced the south half of that roof is still in pretty decent shape it's not quite that i showed you some pictures of my board report the north half you can see a lot of patch and repairs so having said that we're going to probably put in option one to do half of the roof option two to do the whole roof and kind of see where we stand and look at our financial situation so um again there's just a lot
045of different things to consider um i don't know if you guys have any questions on that uh that excel spreadsheet something last month that jumped up what was that i can't remember what seemed like you talked about then you want to lose money or about the van that you're going to get the other the van yes yeah because that 10 passengers we're hoping to do it a year a year later but because we have some issues with drivers bus drivers the 10 passenger van gives us a couple extra seats and the staff and the kids really like those bands they're very very nice very comfortable and again ten passengers versus eight passengers it helps us in the transportation piece so anyway and then this document tracy created this is the one mill for five years
046information so you remember when we were doing the project we didn't know exactly what we were going to have underneath the gym floor at the burlington high school we didn't know if not we did not know if we were going to have foundation issues we did not know if once we tore that floor up we were all of a sudden gonna have to spend two three four hundred thousand dollars on a foundation fortunate foundation issue unfortunately that did not come to pass so uh when we had this extra money you can see that difference that's uh boxed in there then we started to look at that 1959 edition that first straight wing and we had those discussions and brought that up you know at our meetings and for discussion what we needed to do there
047and that's what we ended up using that difference that money for part of that first grade wing renovation from the 1959 original building at burlington elementary school so we used that money to help us with that project but again you can see that that project the original one mill for five years to find the science rooms at the middle school and high school as well as the burlington high school gym renovation came in under projected budget you just you never know with budgets you don't know if you're going to run into a pandemic or not run into a pen and make a run into foundation issues or not running the foundation issues so um we were fortunate enough that we were able to take that money that difference and put it to our towards a
048project that has just been well outstanding as you guys have seen in that first grade wing it's it's just incredible so anyway questions on this document and that one meal for five years does expire on 2022 in what's that is it chinese resolution before then right sometime in early 22 years we passed this one in january of 18 or sorry 17 for this five years so you could pass it as long as you have it done before and we did talk about that one mill for five years going away after the five years um you know something that you know you guys have seen i've talked with you about is you know we do have some different projects we have to you know we're trying to place and move things around we have a trap
049issue that's going to be coming up as you guys saw at the retreat that we've got to deal with um you know we've got a project like that we also if you go to the for example the football games if you go to the football games uh you look up in the light standards you can't look too long up there because it does blind you but we've got about six lights out on those light standards so there's 14 lights on each light standard so a grand total of 56 lights on four different poles so we have six lights out so when we bring again mobilizing when you bring a truck to do those lights there's a cost and when you put you put back lights you put the whole halogen lights back up or do
050you just bite the bullet and go to led well we do have an led project potentially for our stadium in in there and again this is probably two years ago what it could look like and then try to you know look at inflation for that lighting project when dave watkins or matt spring or charlie whitworth turned lights on to stadium stacy reed they turn them on in waves because there's once you if you turn all four poles on it once that meter starts spinning fast and then we get charged at the highest rate for our meter spinning so we turn on a pole about 10 minutes 15 minutes later we fire up another pole and so again those halogen lights are pretty expensive but the led as we've seen in the gyms for example elementary
051middle high school saves us money and you get so much better lit but well-lit product so you know again if you put six lights up at the stadium and a year later three or four or five more go down and then you're putting those old bolts back in there that are expensive or do we look to do that project that's the challenge again for for me and for you guys as a board of administration directors what do we do do again do we bite the bullet and do we go with a a a product that we know is going to be so much better so much more well lit and then also going to save us money so which was that i forgot that that very well approximately to do the lights led lights at
052this game is around 230 000. fortunately the company that i talked to about the lights with the with our people here they say they can retrofit the framework on the on the light standards so that'll help them and then that way they can just put the led lights and secure them to the poles but the biggest expense and they they said our polls are in great shape fortunately they went with a very high grade poll when they did the stadium project uh 1993 90 i can't remember my date circle but you know 25 or so years ago 25 26 27 whatever years ago when the stadium was done so the polls are in really good shape it's just the actual i mean you can imagine i don't want to be up on that i'm afraid
053to hike so i don't want to be up there but those guys they know what they're doing and they can do it with the equipment that they have so um yes questions sir comments on the document as you guys we've talked about it's an ever-changing ever-flowing ever-adjusting document well you may have nightmares about it but it is we really appreciate you guys keeping it up for us because it helps us to see like what the plan is and what we and then to go back and be like oh yeah we did that in 18 or whatever we do appreciate it you know like and we can look back well we bought a mower at this time i mean you know we're not always going to be here and so it's good you know for the
054future for two to be like see it'll help you know like i say how long you can get certain products or certain certain items like mowers or vehicles and things like that so anyway and i want to thank you guys again for allowing us to just make improvements i mean it's very noticeable people notice i spoke with uh well front net king the second time they've been to our stadium i spoke with the well a legendary hall of fame coach for protect or not probably for actually for colgan pittsburgh holden his son is the head coach front neck and so i knew from being in pittsburgh being born and raised in pittsburgh his name is chuck smith chuck has he was so complimentary of our facilities he said this is just incredible we just are
055yeah very blessed and here he's a hall of fame coach coach 30 35 40 years and he just was very impressed with our facilities so people notice what we're doing and when we do projects like our high school gym and the lighting at elementary and middle school gyms and you know we do first grade winning renovations and science rooms so i think the community has been very pleased with what we've done we hear really good positive feedback and you guys do as well so okay any other questions okay transit then kind of already discussed this uh we just uh in talking with doug rohr we're not sending people too many to too many different things right now because of cohoot so we're looking to trade an older van one that's about 20 years old 19
05620 years old has about 130 000 miles we don't take out of town and then an older car and we'll look to trade this in on this van again the transit van we purchased is gets getting run regularly it's a it's the choice it's kind of the bell the ball so to speak everybody would like to take it to different places plus again we get two extra seats in that van so we do have a bid from chrome audi it was our only bid and i think this total amount is about the exact same as what we had last year is like dollars difference ten ten dollars higher um so anyway um yes and that and then we'll look to do it this is the educator discounts that we have as well the banned list
057for about forty four forty five thousand dollars and we're hoping that we can get one that's already made that's already um it's already uh on a lot somewhere dealer locate uh hopefully it hasn't sold yet and then we won't have to wait two three four five months for however long it takes for them to build one so um any questions that price is completely trading no no the trade units will will take that trade yes and then we'll remove that from our insurance and save us some money there with those older vehicles so 38 000 and then factor in the trade-ins which i don't know how much we'll get for them but we'll be happy to park company with them they've done this as well [Music] second any discussion is recess and executive session for
05820 minutes to discuss the superintendent's evaluation pursuant to non-elected personnel exception of your coma and return to a position in this room at the end of that time we stay yeah sorry we have you guys that would have been fun [Music] in um unless you want to stay
