009of attempts and I tell you that's kind of what they represent a lot is they do that I mean what's the it's basically Wednesday night I mean it's kind of like State basketball terms on Wednesdays they used to really be strict about it now that's gone by the wayside it has a tendency that they have it doesn't matter it's kind of the board needs to consider their constituents and their communities what's best I think it'd be nice I think we all take it to have some night off I'm conscientious about it it has to be really special reason to do it on Wednesday night or Sunday like State basketball you really don't have a choice but it can be approved when it's not activated you what you don't want to get into everybody what do

010activities on Wednesday night could be I guess that's what I would say for you this Sunday mandatory ones I mean there could be activities that would be volunteer but if they're getting mandatory activities oh foreign so if we if we do remove that is it if we would be saying that for example a coach could say we're going to have practice on Wednesday because right now it reads that without written permission the superintendent right you can still have practice but you just need to keep notice well you can sell it mandatory practice the way it is but you don't hit not in the evening right right that's what it's taken away if you do it has to be approved by the superintendent and report it to the board you're not going to have music activities

011or games or that's the type of once in a great while things can't be made up I've seen them say okay even the state on Sunday you know you could make a snowstorm or whatever they've made up activities after the last resort that just those exceptions but not understanding it's not on a consistent every week basis yeah scheduled this is because me if I'm wrong this was just the first reading yes no action no action tonight just like does he have you have the complete cleats but I so the basic concepts what tonight will have recommendations for next month okay so on to the school calendar of school calendar this proposed for the 23 24 year has 183 contracted teacher days at 173.5 student contact days as you know contact days as described by the

012state includes parent-teacher conferences and you get a count a portion of professional teacher days so student contact probably the biggest change on this is the last day of each semester is a half day instead of a full day inside thank you any questions did we change anything from this year no it's no it's because that's how it fail okay I mean your calendar kind of not every month is going to be equal but as far as breaks and stuff right they're same thing the only thing is that half day off at noon right the day before Christmas or last day of school good I would entertain a motion to approve the calendar my commercial motion by Josh second mode Chad any further questions all those in favor say aye aye any of those motion passes

013seven zero okay the bus bids uh we received a gram for 25 the cost of a new bus um we also will get the funds from the mental price of the old bus the old bus has to be part of the grant is the old bus needs to be taken out of the service because you gotta have so much age and miles on it and uh the past you destroy them you gotta provide proof you destroyed it so it's not back into service and we went ahead and took bids on three buses or three companies gave us bids on the same bus this is a diesel motor and this there's three companies there uh the lowest bid 142 000 491. is an international on that company that has the lowest bid uh the process would

014be this District would pay for it and they give you the Grant where's the Grant from the state the state Grant he had applied for it only a few so in the past it was competitive but the last few times it's been more of a drawing every whoever submits they kind of just draw out of the Hat kind of so uh we've been we applied for it uh and we were selected this year so that's about uh thirty five thousand six hundred twenty three dollars off the grant piece of it if approved I would doubt that that bus would be delivered before September right now the way production and things are going what's the age of our oldest bus uh right at 20 some years so the state it used to be 20 years used

015to be our Max room on buses the state increased in about three or four years ago to 25. which I will tell you I'm not sure depending on the miles you know 25 years again they put a lot of miles on a bus right might be okay but 25 years with your putting on pretty good mileage every day with a couple hundred miles every day in school but yeah 25 years we have buses right at 20. the one this one that we applied for is the oldest I do not have that information in front of me on what Jamie zinc worked on that took the oldest bus and he had to drive it you had to have it in commission to get this grant it can't be a bus at you how does a spare

016sitting over there it has to you have to show and say commission running x amount of miles the previous year to get the grant have we ever I don't think I have seen an inventory of buses with I think that'd be a good good idea to like a decision on with mileage in here and making passenger size I'm sure that Jamie probably has that somewhere we have a spreadsheet of all that yeah Wendy's last time I can't remember the last time we looked at that we used to get it every month oh every month yeah it was with that package the big package that we had I mean I get it every month she says that that's pretty spreadsheet to me every month Toby has a product yeah if you have that we talked about

017it but was that I remember that we talked about how often we should be replacing the buses is that before you guys gone I think that was before I was wondering so we on a rotation schedule is that what you're saying well we try to I mean if at all possible that's right back when they extended it from 20 to 25 years is because the state was cutting funding and people couldn't update their buses they give you five more years and well the reason we did like those two or three of that one time was because they had the bad Motors in them and we got reimbursed from the company right right and then we also had the tornado that came through a totaled a couple that's why we did like two or three at

018one time a couple years ago be honest with you if we went and got the grant I'm not sure we'd probably still be driving that but it's older but we still got two or three years on it I believe but it's got enough miles I'm not again I can't tell you which uh and I thought she said this is the last time for the greats I know I'm not sure okay it's I will tell you that they're promoting Electric just so you know they may go if you're going to apply for the grant it has to be Electric that was the comment it's probably the last time we applied for because at this point a lot I don't know that electrical run long enough for us did she say why we're going back with a

019diesel after that's all they offered okay in these because I know the last time they're not offering gas Motors okay I do know that so I know that makes it more expensive right right but yeah they neither none of these companies are offering gas voters in these again I just know that the last two or three yeah we tried to well gas is it's a cheaper buy and it's a cheaper repair sometimes short-term short term but you get more you keep it 25 years you might keep a yeah yeah Diesel run 45 years more than that yeah so if Wilson Schools is closed there's going to be an extra bus there we're going to destroy it I mean we'll destroy this the bus is one for one okay so we'll destroy the bus that we're

020replacing so if I want my point is if 712 was closed once you have an extra bus there to be used um an activity bus right it'll probably be put into the rotation to be used at it in activities I would guess uh right now that's the oldest bus that we have and we're using it on a daily basis um to me if you can upgrade what you have at a lower cost because the grant I would say you're not going to upgrade too many more times I mean not every year or every two years to be like more three or four years uh that's my idea is that I think you know anytime you have the assistance through a grant it's a good idea uh so yeah we have we don't have anything else

021coming out of next year's already like this year we had all this coming out yeah I know in July is this the only thing so far in fact I wouldn't be doing this but it it's not going to be delivered until you know so would you show up till September of October I don't think so you have to make the motion if you want to do it I'm just I'm just I don't want to be like we were last year right now and come this year we had all this automatically coming out all of a sudden yeah and I I I looked at paid it off this year right in the PO this year and they covered it this year uh but so as far as we know I don't have anything scheduled I don't

022have anything scheduled for we've already expanded conversation I know what you're asking Chad's asking if we're going to have any more buying in June to be paid in July we're not okay good they already have that conversation I don't and there has um I don't remember anything else that's all the authority that we voted on to come out no no the only thing that we have our capital outlay is the least purchase that we still have four years on right that's scheduled for the next four years yeah that's the timeline to accept the grant I don't think there isn't she's notified him that it's just how soon we get it on so we can wait 30 days just knowing that it'll push back like October November I mean uh but yeah and I can uh

023get the complete well how you know how the thing would be is how long the bids good for uh most of those are you have a sheep said at the top but I don't know if there's a Days of lemon on it this is down February 21st this is through the state bid process this this bid process through the state I don't see it I don't see it nearby are we getting rid of the same size of bus or okay I didn't know if it was smaller or bigger can I asked to ask her about the size of buses we needed that so the cost is probably minimal for a larger one than a smaller one but your options are greater because then I mean is it significant any bus could go on a trip

024if you needed right you take kids right true so I think what Roger is saying is if we close the 7 through 12. right do we have we don't we'll have an old bus right now do we have extra bus like um spares yeah for what we have broken right down buses and you need to have at least one Spirit yes I know there have been times in the past that we've needed at least two one and I'm sure at times you've ran buses that run activities had to go out and that you keep them yellow to do that I will tell you if you buy a white bus I can't go out and pick students up cannot be used on a route only yellow buses can be used on a route so if you

025keep them yellow you can do activities or routes but you can buy at activity bus that's white that's all it can do remember I'm all for saving money where we can save money and my concern is is that we don't it's a lot of money to come out of the capital outlay when we don't know what the district is going to look like I mean we don't know how many students we're gonna have next year we don't know so I would say that if there were extra buses you put them on purple wave itself which I've done that before too when you've I don't worry very much it just depends it always shocks me and some of the things they buy you know I've I've been in districts where they you know moments went down

026and they've kept us and kept buses where they've kept two extra buses for everybody so they'd have a bus that would run too that happens yeah but yeah put it on purple wave and sell them and you don't get a lot but they're halfway decent you'll get thousand two thousand but they're not huge I know a company in Wichita is looking for buses for CBO training I mean that would be what I put there's extra buses that's what I would do is to put them on either oxen or private cell to discard and get extra ones just depends you know I was looking here trying to read this chart real fast I was gonna say I would say our entire fleet is not brand new though so it's you know I think we have plenty

027yeah well even a couple of the newer ones we bought were you so I think we have some other ones that could possibly need replacing before two terribly long so it looks to be like the other activities here one of them are newer but that's a trans everybody make sure I get it so these look like route buses here with the lowest mileage being 113 000. uh and this one here this one that we're proposing to this International this 1999 International that has 191 979 is the one that we fill the grant out on we have another bus at 141 000 another vehicle driver's names next to yeah the route buses yes but I I'm looking for like activity buses things you just have crowds on here that I could see and sometimes that the

028driver has a route they'll use their own bus for the activity yeah because they're used to that we have a lot our fleet's a lot smaller vehicles have lesser to be honest with me just looking at this our fleet has a lot of small vehicles compared to the different lessons do you have problems out of those three buses we got only one was brand new right because we couldn't buy a new one it would take too long to make it to replace I'm thinking we just bought I think I thought that one unless you ordered a new one I thought we ordered a new one and I didn't come in just yet she would know um I thought we got it a new one at that time yeah well enough when Jamie drives it's the

029gas one I think so it's one of the guests ones that was brand new the other ones were used I know I think she is do we absolutely need the bus what's up do we need the bus or respond to this because we can save 35 000. depends on how you look at it I mean we got some that are I mean that's a 99 we're going 24 years I got one more year and it's done so you've got you got some older buses you're gonna have to replace eventually just depends on what you want to do I mean you can wait pay full price at another year or two well the thing is if you can only apply for this grant if you're going electric then yeah I don't I'm pretty sure that's where

030they move because they're really encouraging this time around to be Electric I know a school that got three brand new electric buses and he says they're parking them the only place there to fix them is Kansas City well you're talking at kasb conference a lot yeah crying out here trying to run you know you into your games or well it's like with those electric buses Carlos switches buses when she goes to Dodge City or for the games because the diesel will hold more and so you don't have to worry about it so you know you get into another year and that Grant is demanding electric bus I don't think we can survive on the electric bus so right now it looks like we do have three spares to be honest with you uh it's all

031fairly high mileage except for the there is one that has 48 000. everything else is over most of them are all over between 125 and one so the state is just a year thing on it not a mileage thing or do they have yeah has to be sold and then it has to put in so many miles to the current year current year those are the two it's like your spare buses here I can't apply for this right right because they're not moving enough files you've got spare that's the 2016. 38 000. if you have one that's in 2007 was 177. so you're not increasing your Fleet you're replacing one right but our Fleet is pretty as you look at it probably sufficient to run our compat where we're at a capacity we will be

032running you know if as Roger asked me if we do close well that's going to include yeah at least three times a day yeah you know routes I mean I understand it uh parents because that's what was decided and consolidated route right that's just what I've been told so that's the information I've collected isn't it but I'm open if they want to look at routes parents would rather have routes that pay I mean you could have two I wouldn't recommend they wait 30 days uh it really and I can tell you which bus I'm going to guess the new one will probably be running out of a check or change I wouldn't think that would be running afterwards all the way down Simplex high school every day or one of the others I don't know

033depends on how you went there if you wanted to save it for activities and put one of the spares back up and get miles on that before they run out of Gears you only got 25 years most of them are that clip none of the rest are that close to years I just have a hard time spending the money I mean the three spares and we don't know I mean so when it goes out of commission what do you do you just get rid of it okay just put it on purple wave yeah yeah whatever auction but it's almost uh the way I'm taking it's a mandatory once it hits so many years it has to be done the school has to now Private Business does it right right they can get them to transport

034So within a year to that one's definitely going to have to be a gone I mean it's 99.99 yeah it doesn't have to be replaced though this has to be but I'm just saying you're pulling one out smaller the exact plan to have the transportation and you know in another month like I said I haven't got much feedback you know because you asked whether we go to new routes and I'm okay with doing routes I think we should be an option I mean it's up there it's got to be one way or the other though I can't let this parent want paid and this parent wants picked up I can't do that that's kind of self-defeated the buses it's either we transport routes with everybody or we pay everybody going into that attendance well if

035we can postpone this 30 days is that what you're asking yeah yeah I think we can yeah that way and I'll get this whole chart out that you can look at it's right through it that's right it's two different she has two different tennis centers here and I'm having a hard time manipulating this I can get that apprent attention to it very simple so yeah I would have to say that he'd be then Playing Lessons currently just looking at this I will tell you guys some older ones with some miles that are going to have to be put out of commission at some point I think my consensus will postpone night 30 days and just table it done that's it okay moving on to the discussion regarding the Wilson 712 building and that was kind

036of brought up by Brad so um yeah first of all thanks for putting it on there the the as Kenny mentioned um there are still things in the works and pursuing options um of for the Wilson land transfer and other items like that uh there we received an email as a board um from a member of the State Board asking us to consider giving one more year for Wilson to try to figure out a plan and to to do things um and so Wilson as a community and myself would like to ask for that year extension uh I think the biggest issue that I have um is twofold one as a Wilson obviously as a Wilson um living in a community of Wilson I have concerns of what that's going to do for the community

037and the school and that kind of thing my other concern is as a school board member of the district I do I mean we've heard about the possibility of the petition um and things like that but just even not thinking about those things my concern is how this District is going to survive in the current configuration that we're looking at being in uh if we don't get a land transfer done and we have either just the elementary school up there in a buildings designed for K-12 we're using half a building or we lose the majority of our students on the Wilson side of the district and the you know in the future of that whole building closes you now have a third of your District that is going to be very difficult to get any

038bond issue passed it's already difficult and I don't see a bond issue getting passed in that case and the buildings that we have in the district are going to need it if they need it now and so that is a very big concern for me as the district as a whole and so I think that we need to take every opportunity that we can to mitigate that uh and I and I think that figuring out the land transfer or something equivalent would help that because then you have for your Capital outlay then for that bond issue you're looking at whatever portion of the district is left after the land transfer would be the votes for that and so that's my request is that they're speaking to a district tonight [Music] um and there's some other

039options but I don't think we can get that done if we closed the building in student scatter and they just think it's it's unreasonable to expect to have a vote in whatever it was March April January fed or whatever it was earlier this year end of this Monumental task to find someplace else to go because it's pretty evident that they're not coming this way that we need to have a little more time to to plan in several months intervention is on the county attorney's desk and the county clerk for to dissolve it just hasn't been since I've done it yet well I was hopeful when I heard that talks were going on with Natoma because I like I've said before you know we don't deny that there's challenges but I'm hearing that there are also

040some opportunities that sound pretty positive and from Barton County being interested also in utilizing some of the building space up there to have some careers and tech ed stuff going on I think there's opportunities that could be utilized for the online you know even Lakeside and and having Barton County and having tech ed stuff and being able to have some of those options and courses available not only to to students who would possibly decide to utilize Lakeside but even adults and other population populations in the area there's the other school is it a secret um we have a couple representatives there what's expectations say they kind of hit on hearing but what is this exactly just threatening us to hold the district but the way I understand it I'm not involved in that but the

041way it's been explained to me Brad you jump in here is that whatever number of sign number takes to sign the petition if they get that number which is an achievable number at the Wilson Area then that would force a vote of the uh people that voted or all voters in The District in the district and the 112 District the entire District to either dissolve or not dissolve if the majority is in favor to dissolve then it goes back to the State Board of Education I believe for their input and their Direction and then they would assign do you understand that way that way that's why I understand it yeah a sign Wilson to whatever district and the same thing Hollywood platform down here closing all the schools all the schools would be involved in

042the design you dissolve the district just to wherever they put you exactly in that District besides if the buildings there go I I can't go any further than that because the LA what I heard this morning was told that it hasn't been done since 1960 so there's not much president president to do that there's not a lot of Direction and so you know you get lawyers involved and you go back and stutter case history and any input no I think probably what she said exactly yeah I mean I think that and this is my opinion I think that the the idea is is that it's a method of if the constituents don't feel like the board uh is the best interest that gives them the ability to make that decision as well the majority so

043they both end the same way right if we if we as a board made that decision it would go to state board and they'd still make the decision this the other opportunity is it goes to ballot and and if the you know passes majority then it would still go to the State Board and either way then it's in the state boards hands of where everybody goes and that and the way that I understand it is that could be anything you know it could be that that you know Thorns goes one District Wilson goes one Hollywood goes one Claflin splits in half and goes two different directions it depends on what the state Lord thinks is best again I come back to what is is reasonable amount of time to to do this as far as

044close a building whether it's several months or whether it's a year and several months about a year now basically well we've known has been to outcome down the pipeline yes efficiently didn't happen I might be splitting hairs there but oh I just I struggle with this so much as we we have zero answers we have zero answers about on Eve on the Wilson side what things are going to be but as a district we have zero answers for currently in the way that it stands where it's closing a building in this next year and we have we've had zero discussion as a board of what that means how do we handle that what does that mean what does it mean if we lose 115 kids zero discussion about any of that and it's March I

045just find our stomach when you guys say that we've had zero discussion when we had numbers from oh I mean I mean like what the plan was not not discussion on closing the building but I mean what's how does that affect us and what's the plan what's the logistics of that yes what what Logistics I mean we don't know we don't know bus routes we don't know teachers we don't know like any of that all the teachers will talk to but as that the administration yes but not as and it's just it's frustrating because it's as a school board we have to it's our responsibility to look into the future but there is there's just no discussion of what that means and then Administration but not as a school thing that's what I mean we've

046never discussed as a board what that means like how if we if we do lose 115 kids if we lose 50 kids what does that enrollment do what does that loss do well but I mean like about teachers you told Mr Lowry that yes as an Administration they did but not as not as a school board correct because we saw that in executive session a little bit but we put it on hold last month correct we we have not had a discussion I mean would we have the reasoning that doesn't make a difference we just we haven't had those discussions and that's concerning I think closing a building you're gonna have to look at month-to-month places you might lose 50 might lose 115. um we have no clue when we close Bushton did we have

047a clue how many kids we lose no we had a major discussion on it yep so what was our results on that we'd lose 50. I guarantee you there's over 35 of left and yeah we've talked about the future but even if we keep Wilson in here we're going to have to talk about the future it just might not be to an extreme that everybody wants I mean I get that I mean I think that no matter what I'm not arguing the fact that what is done is done I mean that's it was the decision that the board made I'm not I'm not trying to argue that point at all I'm just saying that my concern is is that we're four months away from the new school year starting and and we don't know we

048don't well and I I don't know if we will no because you can't guarantee me that one kid's coming 120 kids are coming so our discussion is as much as we can to every month but until that time comes a guarantee of enrollment we can talk until our face turns blue and it's going to be different September 15th when we first day of school or August 15th that's why we trust our Administration for is and then to have those conversations too and we're not micromanaging the day-to-day functions also that's not what the school board is or they are to run the real ones I agree and we are this up for the guidelines well this isn't day to day this isn't day-to-day operations I realized that but like Josh said We're Not Gonna know exact

049enrollment and we have seen thoughts about what the Savvy might look like next year we have seen that but we have not had official action I guess if you want to say that because we have kind of put that on the back burner for just a little a little bit for a month while you guys had the discussion with Natoma and I guess that's why we're also a little bit frustrated about being asked to put it on hold and put it on hold because the plans affect the entire 112 District which includes Wilson doran's Hollywood version Claflin and all the teachers and all the students and the planning for all of the buildings so at this point in time I feel like we've had a year okay but this has been on the board and

050out in the public and I don't feel like there is substantial you know any details on the Catholics thing how to Salina they're meeting tonight again for the second time you gotta have work or you just drive it no but yeah I'll have to be private and you'd have we the diocese would have to rent a building for some agreement with 112. that'd be one thing it'd have to be decided fundraising oh that's yes well I brought that up today I suggest it should be K-12 yeah do they take all the kids or is this Catholics oh I think it would be all the kids all them wanted to I mean there's there's obviously problems and questions to be answered there are many of them because they're still taxed I mean the people with that

051part of the district would still be taxed 112. so that's something they need to be aware of what's the feelings of the community and I think they're still filling that out I mean that's one of them I think that's a longer process than just a lighter transfer I'm sure or anything that wouldn't be a land transmission no I'm just saying that would be a longer process than it would entrance yeah I'm not saying I'm in favor of that that's just people are really scrambling to keep for school that pretty significantly I'm just saying that it would take a longer process than so you know I I see I'd be in longer in a year because kids that would go to there would have to pay a tuition you would have to have books I mean

052it's more like a college and I know how it is because I know people that went to Sacred Heart in the same concept for my hold ups for another year is staffing issues we're already fighting that so hard now what are we going to do again you know principle a bunch of teachers that's a huge that's a huge problem right now that we're having to do administration's having a difficult time I'm sure if I'm going to give up education for children versus whatever I'm worried about that's a good point yeah and a lot of them staff if even if we leave it open for one more year might be leaving now and saying hey I'm taking that out now because I don't know what's going to happen next year well I want to remind you

053too that we've had difficult time keeping Administration in that building the entire building long before this was an issue there's been a different administrator up there every year since before the year before I got on the board well since Brian Smith left it how long have you been gone six seven years yeah so that that was an issue so it wasn't it's not even because of this and Staffing was an issue that was part of what brought about you know it wasn't yes financials yes but also Staffing and we have four long-term Subs up there now I do think we did I mean obviously an administrative we've always struggled finding someone to stay but I think we did have a forward certified staff I think this last year was the first time that we didn't

054have it either transition to teacher pulse reports yeah foreign 712 Wilson building one more year the second map there's a motion on the table by Roger and the second from Brad to extend the closure of the Wilson 7-12 building for an additional year is there any further discussion those numbers haven't changed have they like the 700 000 a year you cannot but there's anything changed it's an estimate right so here's again for two years our budget two years is based on issue years where what happens in two years will be the effects of whatever happens next year so that uh in that in almost all that staff reduction you know vast majority of us now benefits was Burton County did they reach out to you or they're just open for discussions I mean there's nothing

055they were just open for discussions if there was in favor of that they would we could enter into discussion even if the building was closed though that could be used for that right right yeah it's like they're talking Elise Grant is what I'm talking about about choices or lease rent or sell if you have and you're not going to sell a building where you have it have the other half is the only one tree to run an electric and stuff like that like I said I think that does present need opportunities for any of those students that would do Lakeside fun and give them the chance to pick up some some of those classes or something possibly and possibly even do like this report was something about you know pick up certifications and do their

056morning gen Ed's and then they could do their CTE stuff in the afternoon and it would allow possibility for evening classes and it's exciting it's also what I saw at the case speak conference kind of down there by Wichita at Rose Hill that they do out there too okay I have emotion and a second on the table for this Allison Chad no oh Josh I'm a no no Brad yes Roger yeah motion fails by the two two five two to five okay sorry Diane Mr President I move that the board go into executive session pursued to the Kansas open meeting act to discuss non-elected Personnel for the topic of resignations supplemental positions and certified staff to protect the privacy of the individuals to be discussed with Mr Lowry and Mr Sherman present and return Open

057session in this room 10. I'd probably start with 20. in 20 minutes at 7 22 32 32. sorry yeah 7 32. second second budget always in favor say aye um all right we are back in Open Session foreign I would make a motion to approve the resignation of Sabrina borbin as second grade teacher and reading specialist at Wilson Elementary effective the end of this school year can I just keep going okay um and the resignation of Cheryl Montoya is head cook at Central Plains Elementary School and Beth patachek as Library para Aid at Wilson Schools also effective at the end of the school year second motion by Allison second by Chad all those in favor say aye aye I opposed just don't and also see Supreme lead I agree okay and then supplemental positions that

058should take two emotions but that's okay you want those separate yeah because one is the coach and one's like a certified drugs okay I'd make a motion to approve Glenn law as an assistant Junior High track coach at Wilson for the spring 2023 season mush miles and second my friend all those in favor say aye I would also make a motion to approve Toby Holmes to teach drivers education for the summer of 2023. by Roger all those in favor say aye aye both motions pass 7-0 thanks and then certified staff well I don't think that's actually how her last name is spelled it could be okay yeah okay so I would move to approve Courtney schamberger as Central Plains vocational agriculture teacher for the 2023-2024 school year okay motion mouths and second by Josh any

059discussion okay all those in favor say aye motion passes seven zero okay administrative reports checks are a Reconciliation Report all over reports matched into the third quarter was last Friday spring Sports already started State basketball the girls were some state champions and lost in the first round boys lost in a substate semifinals both to eventual state champions so yes uh we had students qualify for State kspa Haley Morrison the second in copy editing Aiden freeze third in infographic design and Bradley caught in sixth an academic photography uh junior high performed at the La Crosse music festival and the ratings are on the on page two they're on the back mic but on page two um did well CPL music was held at Barton County on March the 7th their ratings are also on the page

060two they did extremely well as well I'm very proud of you 112 honors banquet for seniors is on March 27th at 6 30 in Wilson I've been working with Mr Malone on this CPL owners banquet is March 28th in St John those are the top 10 percent of our Juniors and seniors that get to be recognized there not their parents Community scholarship applications due March 31st interview is April 23rd problem is April 15th and we'll be hosting the kemfa state powerlifting meet on April 22nd if you'd like to help I'm sure find a place for you so we're working on pre-enrollment and State Testing begin after break seventh grade we'll take social studies math and Ela eighth grade we'll take science math and Ela 10th grade math and internet math and Ela and 11th grade

061will take social studies and science English you do have both Central Plains Elementary and most of the school reports Jane is sick tonight so you have both of those in your packets for you on my report uh February 20th we had a professional day in Lions as an area professional day with eight to eight schools I thought it was very a very good professional day for our staff and I think it turned out to be a very good day for those we did have our outside visitation team so review they have filed their report uh with the accreditation committee to review and at that point once they've reviewed it they will make a recommendation to the State Board of Ed and then I would have anticipated getting the board either in May or June to

062find out on accreditation okay uh we are planning an open house at Central Plain 712 building for the Wilson students on Friday March 24th at seven o'clock uh invitations announcements will be going out as soon as we return for spring break so we'll be doing that any questions for me foreign were there any what was uh all covered at that lions so we had a guest speaker come in um are you gonna tell me with his name uh and two of them actually that they Variety in and then split up and the first session was everyone together and then they split secondary and Elementary between the two speakers uh one was how you looked at things more motivational than anything on them how you deal with people uh and then in the afternoon they broke

063up by grades so content grade so all the first grade teachers together all the math teachers High School were together so he had interaction between and had to bring there's questions that they may have made up you gives teachers a chance to reflect with some other people especially when you're a little bit smaller school if you don't have several teachers in the same grade or same content you know a lot of ours are the chair of the department because they're the only one uh so I think just that collaboration of my point of view is just very good for them to have some contacts so people they can talk to and reach out if they had questions and stuff so I think that was what was really good and it's good you know this time

064of year that help you with motivation uh one was on communication and of course they had somebody pull a piece of paper on top of your head the other two people supposed to tell you how to draw the picture on the deal and they couldn't see the picture they just had to go on point you're telling them so they have to draw the picture up here you find out you don't communicate very well when you say they're all Circle you know if I throw up this big or you draw it this big you don't say a circle that's like two inches so communication is very important as he talks about too so uh Tom Murray and Mark Johnson and they came you know and they did a nice job and I think teachers all needed

065that too at some point you need to get especially the winter here you know motivation make sure you understand what what you do talked about your why you got to remember why you're doing this because sometimes you forget why you're doing this if you have a lot of bad things happen sometimes you forget your why you have to get motivated go in and do the best you can so I think that's pretty important too any other questions any board member reports any open Agenda items where we at on the daycare platforms okay so we have about or their contributions are actually yeah . to the tax credits we need to wait for how much 180 wow 200 dash lights I feel comfortable I don't I hope in the next third by next month I have

066a proposal for the board to approve 157 157. and so I'm working on two different things there's a state has a daycare Grant out that just came out and then also I'm in contact with the Patterson Family Foundation to try to see if we can get more resources to get started I'd hate for the board to commit we didn't have the money in the bank kid I mean we could at risk you know collected those funds by your student habit it's about 200 to put that day on and I have actually have pictures and diagrams of the units have been built already they're pretty nice and they do a nice job with them but yeah about 200 000 to put one down we need to also really get confirm where is it going to be

067but it's going to be that write-up that was sent it was going to be here on this property but I really think we should look at around the Attendance Center here on that school property uh School Employees school school staff help out it'd be better you have to have its own kitchen or bathrooms they'll have its own bathrooms and kitchen tips we have to use a building like that or we can't put it in another building it's already if you could if you have a good building there let's reconstruct yeah you can use a commercial quality too I will tell you that once the building costs the brand new we've been about 175 majority of those three bedroom three bedroom that sounds figured it's like three bedrooms so if a guy ever wanted to at

068a later date sell it it is so that you could pick it up and sell it if you wanted to it is built they build homes to be able to sit down we have several layup you know you could do Major League you know maybe you had to do some reconstruction you need to have certain sizes I mean there's a sleep area there's different areas you have to happen it's better to have at least the kitchenette right not necessarily on a group account you have to have to play around we try to have a playground which I would piss it off but just our safety so and the unit would hold 12 slots if you go to a center you know kids but you have a lot more regulations you have a lot more expenses

069you can get a director to run multiple units I already have a child of mine somebody already called me put my name in we learned how the building went they're ready to go do they even have a child yet that's what I was going to say they probably already had a child the child's not bored yet they're planning ahead so they put their name on the list already yeah so so we have a Max of 12 that could be per unit yeah the newborns count as two or three two eighteen months count as two they are trying to change that to 12 months 18. yeah Sinners get accounts once you hit 12 miles you're back to what slots you're still working on that yeah and one of the presenters I have a card to review

070or one of the people that shared their okay I only saw her for like five minutes it's very quick but I'll get you that information I'm just going to mention since you brought out the central plains Child Care Network if you look on that cash summer report fund 40 That's the Wilson daycare so you can kind of see I processed their very first payroll on that and then the income and expenditures and so forth so as the money comes in and I pay the kiddos we also handling Hanson Foundation which has to go through a school or 503 c Kennedy to handle it so we and we still have to do an annual report and we keep in all the records for that also so it'll be separate because Hanson will want to see all

071the expenses on the things that they paid for thank you did you have a different building in your thoughts [Music] I do have you heard anything about the house on 5th Street [Music] so I think mad about taking that policy to hurt your trying to have people move into I mean that's that's what's negative about it are you short on housing we start putting these further sources other than family living well and I wasn't mean for us to use it I had heard that so on the community was trying to get it and we'll support I mean yeah I mean it's to support local daycares also I yeah because when yours Can Only Hold 12 yeah it's not very many I don't I think there's enough news another thing is you probably want to do

072some type of storm shield 3. right and they won't let you go underground for the daycare license you can't go underground yeah so you gotta get a cement s questions any other questions open Agenda okay items for next month probably be talking s or three how to finalize that and it's coming up you know all those funds have to be spent by 24. personnel and our secondary ksab courses do we need to [Music] uh and the bus bid oh yes I'll be that'll come back let me review that that may come back totally different afterwards closer um do we need to review like student handbooks or anything like that as well so that handbooks and stuff like that will be in the summer thank you that's what we've done in the past yeah I would

073entertain a motion towards them emotional second by Brad thank you everybody [Applause]
