And then so now we always think about it. And for all our educators that are in the house, third count Friday is the only number we really care about. >> What date is that? >> September 19th. September 19th. >> September 19th. So yeah, that's that that's that number. And that's one of the reasons why parents are always a little bit late doing registration, whether or not they thought about someplace else or they didn't or whatever. Hey, but we we we like this number right now so far. So good or whatever. And I believe it'll probably go up by about another 30. >> Yeah.
006>> Probably go about another 30 since 21. >> Yes. >> So I did I did want to share that we right now are over what our projected enrollment is right now. We're just trying to secure to make sure double checking to make sure that all the kids that say that they're here that they're actually here. I wanted to commend Miss Ramos and Miss Dallas for all the work that they've done in regards to this. She's been on calling and probably annoying those people who were a little late with their registration, but it's paying off because we are basically what 21. >> Where we Where are we sitting at Mos? Where are we sitting at with those uh open enrollment seats? >> All filled. We're filling them. Yes. So, >> of course, some people declined it
007because they didn't know we don't offer transportations. Um, they don't read the fine print, but we are going through our list and getting the students that want to come to Brown and enrolling them. >> Right. That's one reason why I thought it was probably numbers probably going to go about another 30 to 40 by the time everything is said and done. So, yeah, good job. Good jobs. >> Board members, any questions for Miss Ramos in relationship to the enrollment numbers outside of the police? That was it. >> I will be turned back to being careful. >> Okay.

It's like five positions, >> some club positions, a sped back cros categorical position. It's really minimal. >> So, we're able to operate. >> So, we're doing our own substitutes now. >> We do two building subs, one for the elementary and then one at the middle high. >> Yeah.

The proposed new revised and replacement policies, administrative guidelines, and forms in included in this update have been thoroughly prepared and reviewed by NEO's legal council for statutory compliance.

And so if you have any questions about any of the first readings, I'm ready to answer any questions you have. Didn't have any done with that. Board members, any any questions in relation to this first reading? All
011right. I didn't see anything whatsoever. All right. All right.

All in favor raise hand and or I any opposed see carries. Nasty six to zero. Um let's go on to our item number four connecting schools, family, and community. The annual meeting will be held on Thursday, September 25th, BDE in the cafeteria. The meeting will begin promptly at 6 pm. For the listening public, we encourage you
012to come out to hear about the financial as well as academic health of the school district. In order to vote on this year's proposed budget, you must be a village resident and you must be present to vote. And with that, I report. >> Anybody have any questions relationship to our annual report? As board members, you know, we are there and we vote. All right. But but we vote not as board members, but we vote as residents. All right. Um and so everything that's kind of going on with within there or whatever have you that we uh that we vote on. And again, like Dr. Cotton said, in order to be able to vote, you have to be a um resident of the village of Brown Deer in order to be able to do that. Uh
013we will not start the meeting. We will have um individuals that will run the meeting for us to be able to do that. Okay. And just for the board, for your information, we are in the process of getting someone to secure that that does that a bit for us. So, we're we're working with individual resident individuals, maybe a staff member to help us up with that. >> So, a couple questions. One, will we start to publicize it online? >> I know that we're going to say something about it uh tomorrow. We have the village and district uh combo meeting tomorrow. So, we know we'll definitely be we'll do it there. We'll also make sure that it goes into the uh village newsletter that comes out every week that it'll be there as well, too. And
014we'll do that up until uh up until the meeting. >> We can definitely make sure that we place it in the the tracker and any other social media. Um I also mentioned it to um staff about them coming out. I just need to emphasize to them in order to the the part about voting um that you have to be a vis resident, but I did encourage them to come out so that they could hear about the financials and the academic health of the district so we can publicize immediately. >> Did you have two questions, Miss Ross? >> I did. So, I know that you have to be present in person to vote, but could we project virtually >> just for people to watch? >> Well, I mean, we do that actually. We've done that every
015year. We've always we've always done that part to where we were able we were able to do it, but people couldn't vote. They had to be in person to be able to do it. I think we've done it before. >> Ever known to be virtual. >> I thought I thought we I thought we've done that in the past that we did that. And I was thinking, was it this year? Weren't we talk talking about potentially doing a QR code or whatever? Because the other thing too was we wanted to potentially start to ask those questions about referendum. >> Yeah, we do have a survey that we're in the process of creating that for individuals that will be there that really speak to the referendum and just um favoritism toward it or just for us to
016find our information. So, we can create a QR code. Remember, I've only done one and I it's it's like a blur now at this point. >> And the only reason we're saying it is here and this right here and it's not on the agenda is is because we were publicizing it on at the budget hearing at annual meeting. All right. That's the only reason we're discussing we even are mentioning that right now because it is a part of that. So, >> so then go ahead because I've never known them to be virtual. So can we verify that that is an option particularly considering our topic >> of discussion for that? Sorry. >> Yeah. Remember they can always watch they could just never vote. >> Look at that. >> It's always on the screen. >> Get
017an answer to your question right there. It was projected but it was not either way. >> Yeah. But if we projected it, then it would be online. So maybe that's maybe maybe I got it wrong because every time I know we projected it, I always thought when we projected it, it was online for people to be able to see. They just couldn't vote. >> Yeah, I don't remember honestly. >> I don't remember either. >> I will definitely look into getting it projected and as well as the publicizing. >> Okay. >> Uh Miss Ashley, you had a question? No, it was actually um just to piggyback off of the publication piece because I thought we'd always publicize that in um some of the community papers, >> right? >> And I also thought I saw it in
018the the news the so I get I still get the paper newspaper and when we get the metro news it has the brown deer north >> suburban the suburban north the suburban the northshore suburban newspaper. >> Yeah. So that budget gets printed in that too as well. Okay. Any other questions or is there anything else in relationship to this? Dr. Cot. Yeah. >> Okay. So, now we've come to that time of the meeting where would someone like to make a motion to adjurnn? >> Oh, Miss All right. Miss made a motion. Do we have a second? >> Second. >> All right. All right. We have a motion and we've got a second. All in favor raise hand and or I. Any opposed? And understand that motion cars is six to zero. I call this school
