001foreign thank you hi goodbye okay the user shuts the sound off until it's starting to be just not to pick up anybody thank you okay uh first off is approval of the agenda okay second by Chad all those in favor say aye um the same time emotion passes five zero um approve the minutes from June 12 2023 board games does anybody have any changes questions if not I would entertain a motion to approve the minutes from the June 12th 23 board meeting I'll make motion motion by chance second by Josh all those in favor say aye aye aye any opposed same sign okay we're out of the scenes uh approval other many voices any questions over those we added that last run we're trying to we're getting bills and back there's still a few more
002bills that'll be paid now until the end Friday on this year's budget do we need to yeah so this year just approving was presented to you right now yeah absolutely Chad sorry second bread Josh all those in favor say aye all right any opposed same signs motion passes by zero [Applause] [Music] so you have the proposed transfers for um as you can see there's eight thousand foil at risk 25 000 virtual education 3 000 professional development sixty thousand special education 11 000 vocational education and thirty five thousand for textbook performing fund I will tell you that we're trying to get those balances up sorry are you there we lost you yeah so we're trying to get them up as we talked about at the end of last year our reported we have 5.15 cash carryover
003compared to our general fund and our LLB which that's what the state and the state recommends 12 to 15. so we we did go up uh these transfers represent 142 000 of transfer you can see the new cash balances I will tell you we're looking at a curriculum adoption in language art English uh so that's one reason we're moving a little bit of money to the textbook but the rest of them are just and spatial ads got to go up 31 000 this year that's another reason we put money into special education we do have a high balance in the at-risk K-12 at risk because when we republish our budget that required transfer went up in general fund where we got more money but it also went up in local option budget where we got
004no more money and we really did not have the authority to spend all that transfer so that's going to carry over anyway and I will tell you it's good to have at risk carryover because when Esser runs out there's several things that the at-risk vet will have to pick up because he's paying for one staff member and several programs that we are currently using and when that runs out that risk but it'll have to pick up everything we want to continue what we're doing with the SR money so at the end of the day the uh operating funds which I looked down and actually driver's ed and contingency will probably we'll probably move that back up to operating because those are operating too but there was just a slight change in driver's edit nothing in
005contingency but we went up 212 949 in those with this transfer in our operating in the bottom there uh the ones that went up was Capital alleys went up and then there's a lost uh in Gibson grants so at the end of the day they're those funds went up 144 593. I will tell you our general fund ended at 6 million 264 825 that's 6.2 million we had a audit reduction of 386 051 from graduation Alliance due to the audit that's after we appealed that came down about 80 000 they reduced I will tell you I believe um they are approaching the state board about that I don't know if that'll change anymore or not um our local option budget stayed at one million five forty six eight oh six again increase I think number
006one we had several retirements last year replaced with new teachers or long-term Subs that's a significant increase when you take a retired teacher and replace them with teachers on the first step of your salary schedule I think we were fairly conservative in spending this year and then of course the increase in that risk caused this so if you remember or if you still have the documentation I gave you in October then again presented in January on the last 10 years of cash balances uh at two and 2015 was the last time you really went up and cash balances but that was also your last year of the consolidation premium I will call it and since then the trend's been down except for 2020 where you did go up 146. so that is the only year
007in the last eight that you would uh and that's probably a little bit too and I thought of this just now with covid because we had we shut the school down in March not that all we did for that was just we were required by the state to pay everybody's salary to the end of the year but there was no other expenditures because that everything was shut down so that caused our savings a little bit if you wanted to come in there yeah so that's just the kind of is there any questions about and we're leaving about 7 500 dollars to kind of clean up this week we're still getting like some utility bills and we got to clean up by then Friday um they'll We Believe they'll still be some cash available anything that's
008left I'm going to recommend that it goes into contingency fund that fund needs to kind of be built up it gives the board a lot of flexibility on how to spin those spots if they're in contingency seems like it was a good year everybody have any questions it's not going to hand emotion to approve the end of year transfers as presented and then yeah that would allow the superintendent and clerk to make any final adjustments to close out the budget wrap up those bills that that we were talking about the motion by Josh second by Chad all those in favor say aye aye can you pose same sign motion passes by zero and District paid health insurance that is it so you see our premiums have increased um we recommend that the district to pick
009up the increase on the same level that we have in the past to meet that increase it would be 535 a month effective October one increase of 28 dollars at the district would pay for everybody's health insurance plan we try to match that high deductible option one plan so technically if available wait comes in and just runs insurance for themselves the high deductible plan that says cost them anything but we need to match that there's a thing out there for the Affordable Care Act that says that you have to start increasing to try to get closer there's a certain percentage of a gap that a person can have paid for to be eligible so we try to match that so we can continue on with that for that specific law so and we put October
010because that's when it starts that's the new rate is October 1st are we like a large group or large anything over 50 employees is considered electrical like a great Bush yeah we're in the Greenbush Health Consortium instead of hospital so they they're the administrators of our plan it's still Blue Cross Blue Shield that we go through Greenwich so we have I think they have 16 other school districts on with their plan plus two City municipalities so the larger the plan it kind of keeps the range and as you can see the rate went up eight percent last year we had zero increase the year before we had like 1.2 and we have it's been three years before we had a really significant increase which is good but I just kind of wish they would spread
011it out a little bit you know if we had zero last year it would have been nice to maybe have four and then for this you know what I mean so the employee doesn't see such a significant change right so yeah yeah that's really good it's really good to have you a larger group yeah because there's yeah there's more than us they have quite a few usages and stuff down and okay I'll make a motion to approve the district paid health insurance benefit of 535 per month of October 1st Street there's a motion by Chad and second by Josh all those in favor say aye aye aye for the same side motion passes by zero and then on to the classified handbook for 23 24. so that's in there that so the days changed and
012then what you just approved for health insurance is in there also that's effective also um I believe at the very end page seven has the change in health but the at the end has a new board policy yeah that has a new board policy at the very end those are the changes of it from a year ago yeah the sexual harassment policy gaac went from three pages to 16 pages I think yeah yeah so I had to put them away so we changed that policy from the board adopted that policy so it's now the handbook which will probably go back and change also with other handbooks yeah I was going to share that with the administrator because I have to change that in the other handbook so we've improved because that's this policy of waterproof
013the same it's the policy has just been changed it just needs to be updated so we had their correct policy there any further questions about the classified universe would entertain a motion to approve the plus by the handbook as presented for the 23-24 school year what's up with motion by Josh taken by adults all those in favor say aye aye the second time all right so thank you though motion passes by zero and then I'll authorize representative for the Food Services like that I recommend that we appoint a mandate Griffin as our authorized Food Service she's been working with food service but this would take it from to her to where she would be doing all the food service within our office um I think that's a good process for us right now that she
014became become our official Food Service she would also be our person who would determine free and reducer also yeah with the online enrollment of unique one person because it's going to come into one place previously That Was Then by Bill princess but that will be done in one location and if you could be in charge of all the food service if you are rep it gives her an opportunity to work to uh like Bobby with his sister help her guide her through that process Bobby has been our authorized so that basically will increase her hours as well because right now she's just working four hours in the morning for us and she's doing four hours in the afternoon for Mrs Dozier as a parent so she will have more hours here at least do them
015at the July and August until enrollment comes and then she'll still go back to four and four because she still needed at the elementary school yeah okay any other questions not I would entertain a motion to appoint Amanda Griffin as authorized representative for Food Service beginning July 1st 243 motion my Chad second by Josh all those in favor and say aye aye [Music] good Mission passes five zero best price increase this is information depends on what the board so we did we had an increase in our price so we didn't call the state about whether that's legal to also call to see if there's more grant money but it's been encumbered already they didn't save any of the grant money back so because of the order timeline they're pricing it out I think in the
0162025 action timeline so it looks to me like that bus won't come in called way past the first of January it looks like right now uh so they did increase it right about ten thousand about eleven thousand dollars and again justification is priced on the 2025 model we had the 2024 model priced but they are not gonna cannot like then it won't be in 2025 that we get it sometime in the 24th year but that's just information for the board and unless the board can declined to accept that and returning the grant for that bus that grants 25 of that 142 000 is what they're kns did we replace the gas but else I know we couldn't for the grant but we would have to ask us it's going to cost uh it would be
017less I know a lot whenever I get worked with gas buses gas buses are always less diesels this isn't my gas bus going with less repairs and less expensive repairs you can say that it'll last longer I mean the diesel buses I don't know you can say they're more fuel efficient they're all probably about the same fuel efficient they all probably under 10 by quite a ways let's never want to talk to Gina she loves her gas bus yeah in the winter yes and it's hard to get people to work on it diesel I mean it is I mean there's not a lot of around we're fortunate here to have people that do that but I've been in other districts where there's nobody wants to work on diesel motor is closed you had to take
018it somewhere issue but yeah it's less expensive than there's like you say you don't plug it in and it's not the same price or is it even close now because we get that Grant Line we get 25 of 104. they required it they were quiet the only thing they would let us business diesel or electric well it's Grant yeah on this one but I don't know exactly I hate to throw a number out there but I just know it's less it usually is the gas motor is usually less than a piece of boat probably not 25 percent I know but I can't I don't have a specific I just know it's a little bit it's less than so the difference in the prize would come out of capital alley yes I mean the purse the
019bus is going to come out of capital whatever that would be and it'd be out of next year's Capital yeah with the cheaper gas offset even that 45 they want to come out close to the same to hit a gas bus instead of the diesel foreign okay so like 52. accounts of July but yeah I don't think we really have to decline it yet it's good again in July so basically we continue this plan yeah okay go up again well you just don't know it better be right so do you want me to mark the mark the table yeah it's information okay thank you Mr President I move that the board going executive session pursued to the Kansas open meeting act to discuss non-elected Personnel for the topic of supplemental position and classified staff to
