007in one area here go um and shop for a little bag better cameras with more details buildings so we're going to be working closely with them i hope to have some idea what we're looking at possibly by jersey they've already worked it all out i just got to make specifically the only cost that i talked to you about was about monitoring because of some issues you've had with our systems that we currently use as we talked about yes about the star [Music] um okay something as far as knowing how all this works that's why marijuana um a lot of the smaller districts um actually have a program [Music] for that thank you guys presentation for both of the student council end of the video but some of these people put together some of their thoughts

008and ideas of all everything that's going on and unfortunately it's not going to be the biggest picture if you want to see it again we can we can have another show but right now we'll just go with it [Music] to the board of education and administration and patrons of usd and 112th grade students from nursing schools would like to take this time to share our thoughts and feelings about recent discussions of our school [Music] i've lived and gone school in wilson my entire life the majority of those years i've always known that we could close at any time if i'm foreign you used the word stable to describe the environment and will be offered at central plains high school there's nothing stable about the school you have grown up in and loved being close and

009all of your friends you have known for the majority of their life being spread out to the surrounding schools now i started my education here in preschool with almost all the classmates i had i may not remember much from back then but all i remember was having fun there was very little bullying or problems in my elevations every time i would fall my friends took me back up again and they still did that [Music] next came my junior high years where i made so many memories that are extraordinary words like football and more sports and scholarships then i met our amazing high school staff people that helped me through more than just my school they've helped me through many hard times now i'm in my freshman year with the fear of my school shutting down

010i don't think you guys understand how much it means to us to graduate the place most of us have been for our entire lives leaving our friends actually at this point they're more like family i actually care for these people and they care for me i never want to lose that one [Music] is a unique setting because we were pre-k through 12th grade on your one word looking back to the days as a young elementary student i remember looking up to three high school girls who were active in school and thinking about her because of her past building to [Music] i feel proud to be a part of a team that works hard to not only improve during off season and during games but also to make sure every single member of the team feels

011like they matter [Music] every day i am constantly reminded of how lucky i am to be a wilson dragon and i am incredibly proud to be part of something so special [Music] we do not know what the best decision will be to stay with this district [Music] and finally we want to stay together to keep our community strong and alive we are trusting you trusting all our humans with our thoughts and prayers in the forefront of your minds as you would your own child when making the lasting decisions that will affect our today's and our tomorrows thank you for your consideration the students of wilson schools [Music] [Applause] thank you board approval for the ksd contract for the 22.23 yes we will find which is the same as it has been in previous years our

012membership will be 8486.90 and i'm at it based on our state aid and that is about 800 uh that is i bet you at least every week okay your hands okay push play josh second by roger paul federation looks best and board approval for uh michael ryan or pe for civic point of elementary jennifer heap your secretary for city clinton's junior high senior high amber beckerman your nurse supports plans and more removal for the senior trips [Music] the um for wilson high school detailing you know basically that they will spend i'm talking oh my god and we had a few words regards if you wanted us to do that now just just i didn't know how this should work um [Music] because [Music] thank you and more approval for the city of wilson we've done

013this every year allows him and more discussions on naming of districts do you recall last month we had a presentation on maybe [Music] the board will consider requests for school and community groups to name the athletic or other school activity facility building or portion thereof or person providing a referral name and proposed name excuse me has significant special significant and or the person has made an outstanding contribution to the school of school systems and has been deceased for at least 10 years the board shall consider naming requests after they are recommended to the superintendent that's our first problem that doesn't mean you can't call that's how we name anything in our newspaper uh um anyway okay okay so i knew that yes [Music] maybe further discussion [Music] in the presentation for the wilson daycare uh

014uh one of the things we've been talking a lot about is daycare uh for both businesses wilson right now a little bit farther along you know they have a goal to establish a day here they can possibly grow into a center they feel like and i agree that will provide incentives to teachers as well as encouraging new teachers to come to wilson for our district additional resources for the community fire marshal has already been out but they were out reviewing our building we've already had some people that are interested and qualified to run a daycare cory hammock has been out and they've got some paperwork in progress j.r roble uh [Music] is working on a grant for um and one for the city of wilson this grant will cover some uh renovations equipment curriculum and

015even salary wilson has received pledges of one uh monetary oil storage businesses and individuals and likes there they are they're able to go through the day handsome grant as well because it's being located in ellsworth county i did get a text from j.r and we would be able to run this through the stone kill branch so that would not be a conflict for us to get money i'm going to applaud these ladies i mean you want to talk about making a bull by the horns thank you by the way by the way to the ground uh they are very excited uh still trying to finalize some details but i would like you know the board to there's a lot of details that we'll still need to work out and cost but i mean they're doing

016a great job i mean i guess by consensus i would like the board to agree that they kind of continue to move forward you know one of the things that i've been conscious of is if there will be any cost in the district we're looking at some rooms inside of the wilson to possibly be used so we have quite a bit going on here is so i guess this is supportive of me going forward on working trying to work this out for the care facility and building your world thank you [Music] each presentation there they are scars um is [Music] whether it was four [Music] and work with smaller foreign um hey is [Music] two days you is [Music] is your career um [Music] um [Applause] um [Music] um [Music] um [Music] or [Music] um

017now literacy um [Music] uh dyslexia [Music] know is um uh [Music] um uh first um is overall please is [Music] is thank you [Music] about different types of projects that we could address here in the issues of wilson we have option one two compressors on the same unit for thirty thousand option two four compressors including two money circuit fifty eight thousand my recommendation important this time would be to choose one of those two uh to moving forward so the air could be in place forward whereas there's six and there's three mainly three small ones all large for my technical abilities oh some have been replaced what we had started to do was write the date on uh when they got put [Music] uh exactly part of the problem is somewhere at some time there was

018approval to allow a outside company to control a trained unit and they went in and ripped out all the factory trained controls that they engineered to run that unit and one of the differences in uh that's been explained to me is that for a commercial unit which goes on they really run on they're not that's how they should say that they the new controls have been run like which causes constant starting stopping and then there's oil at the bottom of these that is only to be heated when the compressor is not being run and we found out like on the ones in hollywood i'm sure it was up there that oil was being heated even when it was running and that's not something that you should have happen uh i only found this out after

019four or five years of working with trained and people that actually know how these units and this knowing that history for a while and stuff like that [Music] control i would like is okay further discussion um and a discussion of the district hospital you have uh [Music] another holder or another excuse one of them is the possibility of moving departments we need an audience who lives in elkhorn here's the property manager there you can see the information that she's given us what they will charge us a month you have uh if you recall on friday notes a while back i sent you that information on a mobile office that emailed him that gentleman not a become not a cost of more than sixty thousand delivery set up then you have the one that is pictured

020below here um which is 42 527 dollars so there we have several obstacles uh one of the things that i'll mention just for safe and ease because i would like for our mr congress to stay in elementary county uh for the simple fact we have to go to the state switch our county uh take all our vehicles switch all our behaviors and just quite a bit of work in switching count uh not opposed to it but questions information [Music] uh the benefits on that okay um the initial some of the initial plans that i put out i had six straight living over here just sell contained red so we figured everything out i know that's not uh preferred at all [Music] for administration so that's one of the reasons i've kind of received just another

021option thank you very much so i think coming back [Music] if there are any other objects in the district um [Music] notion that the usb 112 will be located for the 223 square root of all classrooms i believe that the unc 112 district office be relocated for the 2022-2023 school year in order to allow for more classroom space at central plains elementary school in columbia located [Music] i have a question uh just prior to this motion there was discussion to the individual office to possibly different locations including departments a mobile office a hollywood city office or a business meeting not college okay because i thought that was fun so i mean for me i'm definitely in favor of looking at alternatives just because we don't have a location um isn't necessarily right another location their

022spaces and districts that are available [Music] that doesn't make sense district's office locations [Music] pose closed captioning not available a quick summary we had the work session to discuss uh things of what the district needs to do [Music] two we did have a discussion a little bit about the land transfer option for wilson to move to a different district and there is a group of people including myself that has been looking into what options we may have there's quite a few reasons for that but it is something that that we're looking into and i think that and i'm to address the fact that i have publicly been against the land transfer in the past um and so my involvement in this kind of recommendation of that is i have a turn on that i think

023that i i personally feel with the kind of discussions we've had in the last couple months as well as is an indication of a bigger issue that we have as a school district and i think that and that's my biggest concern i think it's affecting students at both junior senior high schools and there's a lot of concerns that i have with that and so looking at different options of how do we solve that we you know we talked about the combining of sports and trying to unify that way um different options and they moving students from one one school to the other and combining those things like that i think that in the end unfortunately because of the issues that we have between the communities and between the district is that we're going to lose

024more students than we can as a district and that's no matter which direction we go and so that's obviously a concern my other concern is that if we if we don't do a land transfer and we make a different move moving the wilson junior senior high school or some kind of combination to the platform school is that we still have three buildings that we need to maintain and improve uh all of which all three need set improvements and i truly don't feel like there's any possible way to pass them on in a configuration that includes all of that and to be able to improve and so that is kind of why i have been leaning towards the land transfer and you know we've been looking at possibilities of what that means talking to other school

025districts and just trying to get to see if there's any interest and so that's kind of where that sits pass it off to anybody else's i don't think the bridge is to be funded between wilson the south and it's a lot of people are mad at each other i don't want to you know i was a classical bobcat and i do post hard for when you lose school earlier now but i just feel like we can't hang on to everything uh i just i don't i don't think combining with sports is going to fix anything i may maybe wait to maybe start something um but i for one think and transfer if we can pursue that is the answer to make everybody happy because you were against it and now you're for it and so

026i think we are starting to see maybe that road but children may say no and we need to have an answer if they do say no we need to have something on paper it's where we are headed for the school year 23 hockey i don't know we need to discuss those options but something has needs to be decided tonight so i have a couple different things i know that the communities of wilson the dorms are pursuing a possible land transfer out of usd 112 and it has been stated that some of the school board members said that they don't want these committees communities in the usd 112. and that really disappoints me and saddens me and frustrates me that that's the message and the takeaway that has happened from some of our discussions as a

027board because i feel like it has been the effort of this board and administrative staff as well as a previous school board to make the best of our challenging barriers we are all empathetic and understand that the lord's geographical areas of unc one want to present unique circumstances however we cannot use this as a reason for an excuse from having to make our decisions and have a clear plan for our district for the future a few consistent points over the past few years in our different community study groups have been that everyone would like the district to have a clear plan for that future that everybody would like to know what steps we're taking to have a 5 10 15 year plan and they would like more unity in our district i think it was

028allison that said a couple meetings ago that possibly combining or consolidating our high schools would be a good step in that direction of community to help us see what our needs may be for the future and help us see you know what our numbers would be [Music] and how many people would be willing to to try to work towards that unification and consult consolidation with the discussions the board has been having over the past few months we are trying to move in that direction as hard as that may be we want to bring the district together and we want to provide the best opportunities for all of our students by bringing our being senior high schools together it would be a large step in the direction of our goals the best for our students is

029to bring them together to increase our numbers and not divide our district also people have asked if we're broke again if that's why we're having these discussions and i would like to respond to that also i did cover some of my funding concerns at the last meeting that i can state them again with some of the legislature that is moving through the kansas state department at this time there is an increase in virtual student funding that is proposed but there has been no increase in revenue legislature to cover this increase in funding so it is likely to mean a cut to standard education suddenly in order to balance the budget legislation that provided for fair and affordable funding is nearing an end and control will shift from the kansas supreme court soon and that fight

030will have to be reinitiated if if it is there are also changes coming in special education funding from the government that could mean that it's a district we will have to come up with a large sum of money to offset the decrease in government funding in order to maintain our level of service to our students as we are required to do in addition to my concerns for the not so far off future i ask this question in response why should we wait until we are broke our district will be much better prepared for the future if we are proactive instead of reacting would they be better in this time of teacher shortages for us to be able to increase our teacher's base pay in order to attract and retain our high level educators it would

031be wise for us to be able to move salaries out of capital to our general fund so that we can free up that money spend on our facilities and our students such as for increasing security and safety as our vote at our buildings as this has been pointed out as a concern and as we heard from ina tonight we want to do what is best for our children the students and that means doing what is best for the district long term also feel like a plan is the most respectful way to move forward for everybody at this time because while we may pursue the land transfer or while the wilson admiral deputies may pursue that option i feel like we need to have a set action plan set forth for what will occur in the

032years to come just so that there isn't that question every month and there isn't this discussion and this concern every month or at the end of every year because i know that the western north communities feel like this is something that has brought us over here and while it may not actually be brought up every year it is a recurring theme because the district of our size even if we combine our high school students and combine all of them without losing any we would still be a small school we would still be a 1a school and i feel like that points to the fact that it's not feasible for us to operate to the junior senior high schools it is nothing personal and i truly hope that we could come together because i was around

033two when we went from and i know you guys kids are tired of hearing about this but when we went through the consolidation from papua new guinea to central plains and that was a tumultuous time too back when i was in high school we were dead riders but we've been able to come together and work as one community and as a history and it is my hope that even through difficult and challenging times we would be able to come together as a whole district and i would like to make a motion that beginning the 23-24 school year all seventh through 12th grade students in usd 112 be consolidated to the central plains junior senior high school attendance that beginning the 2023-2024 school year all 7th through 12th grade students in usd 112 be consolidated to

034the central plains junior senior high school attendance center paint platform can i elaborate so i know in that time frame there could be plenty of other things that occur [Music] so what my motion is for is just what i said to have a clear action plan in place in case something else doesn't occur or there are different options proposed not knowing but i think that making a motion to move without fully is not a very good option there's there's a thousand things that need to be looked at there's pros and cons for the gym those different options the pros and cons for wilson students depart from their pros and cons for women and faculty closely and i think that that means if that's the direction that the board wants to go that that needs to

035be part of the discussion the board improving like that without having a discussion with explaining your numbers without doing any of that i think that's a huge mistake and just finding another responsible and forward and even demonically uncomfortable that's there's a lot of things to look at mr clark where are we staff boys now in both ends of the district i think right now who are higher tonight we're fine in the high school the workforce it's very important and exciting she will stay in second grade with extra time that we paid her what we've done this year we do not have that that's as far as the teachers that i know are we need to build we're there [Music] we don't have any uh other classroom openings right now we've hired our secretary here at

036the high school uh we do have a special education teacher hired here at the high school math uh joshua things i can't talk about due to the rules same with my counselor here and we need to find another way so basically we're probably in a normal year as far as that we've had some people step up like emma but we'll [Music] i know there's [Music] some options on there but there could be some other departures that maybe i don't know about yet but right now that's the ones i know about well i think we're probably in agreement this board that one high school is probably the best way to go i don't think we're in [Music] agreement of transporting students from the north and south and there's some ambiguity in what i thought tamara said

037about the district getting along and what's best for kids i i'm having a tough time seeing that all the way through all that road just runs one way but her motion and the second allows the wilson endurance community to pursue another auction if there's one out there there may not be if there's not an option out there and that time comes to force people to come this direction i have doubts that you will give a large percentage of students i can't speak for them but that's a year off but i think it's just it's really going to put a further divide and it's just you were right when you were saying our staff wilson and maybe down here i don't know it's on pins and deals are stressed out our students are stressed out they

038made a video to present they have board watch meetings they come to board meetings students shouldn't be doing this there's no peace they don't have an opportunity to be students and children i would hope that we could come to a an agreement within the next year and to settle this one way or the other and i appreciate your your motion gives us time to do that but i also understand what brad is saying you know we had a there was a prayer meeting in wilson yesterday that 40 to 50 people attended that center or not listen to this hidden center on easter it centered on the community of wilson the dorms in the school and the school board that's sad we're in a situation we should not be in that we are so maybe this

039year we can find an option to change things so i want to say that since the last board meeting i've received a lot of correspondence from people all over the district which i genuinely do appreciate because i think it's important as patrons of the district to know what's going on and be engaged and express your thoughts and share insight because we all have different perspectives and different opinions i think that one thing we can all agree on is that every community is passionate about our district and we all passionately want to have what we have now and try to avoid as much change as possible people have a variety of opinions of what should be done and what's best for all students however recurring things have surfaced for me and my conversations with people one

040of them being any change made to the current structure of wilson schools i've consistently been told anything i vote to change is because i am emotional and i'm pushing my agenda um that's an unfair assumption to make about anybody sitting here having an agenda about anything that they're doing without having a conversation i think it's we can all agree that having these conversations is very emotional and while you can feel your emotion that doesn't mean that that's what drives your decisions every single one of us sitting here has conflicting values that we have to balance as we have these conversations as we make a motion as we vote um we have a lot of different people from different walks of life we have parents taxpayers administrators coaches teachers retired residents of the communities grandparents alumni

041business owners church members board members and we all have to come here and we have to be able to have these conversations and we have to be able to talk about the facts and then move forward and i appreciate the fact that we can have these discussions with um singleness by the way um but that being said just because i don't like a decision someone else makes or emotion that they make that doesn't mean that they made it for the wrong reason another one that i hear consistently no matter who you talk to is they don't want us whether it's any community you fill in the blank some community has another community that they feel like they've been victimized by at some point sadly that's something we probably all have in common but i don't

042think we can't overcome that and come together i genuinely feel sorry that anyone feels this way and i hope that in the future we cannot continue to perpetuate that problem within our district we will be a stronger district that can provide additional opportunities for our students if we can come together i really believe that but if we're ever going to do that we have to stop campaigning to leave the district or kick them out or even just saying those things that's not that's not going to keep us together we have to stop seeking opportunities to widen the gap and focus on the opportunities to approach the gaps between our communities and historically i don't think that we've done a good job of that as humanities as a whole and the other thing i've heard is

043getting by is good enough and i think this goes back to the are we broke yet um no we're not broke but i don't ever want to be in a position where in an emergency we have to make a decision because we're going to be broken we don't make a decision i don't think i don't think that's how any of us would like to run the district and i don't think that's the most responsible way to take care of our tax dollars and unfortunately it feels like any time any proposal is put out there the responses are negative whether it's consolidating 7th or 12th graders whether it's let's do a walk schedule and align schedules and share teachers the knee-jerk reactions tend to be negative i can't i will never and this is what they

044always do to us and i'd like to ask what if we were to change the self-narrative that we've had within our district so let's try this and i can do that and i don't know what that looks like but i know it doesn't look like what we what we're sitting here as now and the risks that we have between our communities and in the end what we dwell on is what we've become and so are we going to dwell on the conflict are we going to dwell on the opportunities that we have in front of us to try to unite and be a stronger district or are we going to let the past dictate our future kind of to build on what allison was saying as far as kind of using these challenging times one

045of our goals is to educate and prepare students to be advocates for themselves and to be able to know the process of government and that includes school board proceedings and while it is not fair to have this stress i do think we get you to have an opportunity to help educate our students and i would like to possibly take the next year to have work sessions that serve as assemblies at the schools to allow the students to ask anonymous questions or you know to really understand the process and why we have to make the decisions we have to make and i go back again to this being why i have made that motion is to try to have some respect for everybody involved in the process and that does include the teachers and the students

046and our superintendent who has put in countless hours trying to come up with the answers to our many questions and i think it's only fair to come to a clear action plan at this time next question uh my question is uh one of the things that every community always wishes for is a building in their community no doubt in earth boston when we had to close our building in bushnell i would never deny that uh one of the things uh in several of the plans or ideas that have been exploded and i you know i hear it from hollywood father they want me they like everything in their community clapping likes having some community wilson like having school in their community uh with some of the plans that were put forward whether by board members

047myself or working together we can assure a school building in wilson because we don't have there's no room for elementary down here i i even proposed a plan where it would be pre-k through eight and i thought that was an opportunity to look at it in a positive light that we can guarantee that building so that it does lead me to wonder where that middle ground is okay further discussions will report hearing done motion generally stands as the 23-24 school year the seven through wilson that would attend school in the central plains junior high actually brad is that 7th through 12th grade students in usd 112 be consolidated to the central plains junior senior high school attendance center classroom perfect so we will go around the table or vote right here motion passes any further

048discussion my board upwards i just want to clarify that i think express interest in that land transfer i think it would be great for you guys you know if it could make that i know we're setting this date but if we get some more information here i think we definitely need to talk about it again um but this is a path to move forward but like i said there's always something else to come up but uh i think okay uh second one is we're not gonna do anything tonight on student fees but i didn't give you a package of what student speed were determine prices i do not believe at this time i will be recommending any cost increase in uh uh something lunches other than maybe the adult price uh my look at increasing

049our textbook fees just a little bit to help us i mentioned that's been fun oh uh um yeah i was just wondering if that would help us but uh if we do increase lunch prices if that would help us by the name number one of the things we have to do is have our lunches be a certain percentage of what the reimbursement is and i deal with it like once a year and i remember it and i forget it so i will give that information to you we have this uh spring after free break people allow junior high students to take technology home we have that position with a little bit of but i think it's been a positive thing so we might move them into the uh [Music] our lovely legislature which mr joney
