Kurt uh took that over this year. Uh and has done a really nice job with the group. Um so he's got a presentation. It's something we have to annually do uh as per board policy is update you guys on uh what the wellness

003committee did. One of the things that Kurt will touch on uh here and and getting into it is some changes that have to be made uh to policy based on some recommendations from them. And I'll just tell you that I'm in the middle. started today and our next policy update. So that'll be coming to you uh for first reading next month. >> Yeah. So thanks Greg. Um just kind of a little bit of history and you can scroll up a little Christie. Um kind of like the mission and the vision is to get a group of collective people throughout the community um teachers, students, uh staff to kind of go through and they actually have a nice assessment. It's called the WELSAT assessment to go through. And the Welssat basically goes through and it talks

004about the language that should be put into board policy that helps drive a positive wellness um policy. So our first step kind of doing that was just to send that out and do that informally as as a group and then come back and then have a discussion about it. Um uh through that we kind of found out if you scroll again kind of like our our our vision is is to continuously have wellness and and drive um partnerships through that u through the community and our staff and our students. Um so kind of the process that we went through um we started with our our annual meeting having discussions on kind of laying out the framework of what we want to go through and look at and then through that it was the wellsack um

005well set assessment along with our Mosin grade report. So basically what are the things that we truly hang our hat on that are wellness driven and then comparing it to the actual policy language. So, are we actually doing what our language states in our classrooms, in our facilities, um through our lunch program, our nutr nutrition program, which was also a part of the committee as well. Um so, just kind of a background of how that was all all communicated from that. If you scroll kind of our results is what we found that um from our comparative analysis that our language is really well like our policy is written extremely well. Um, some things that we want to look at is kind of like what we found that brought our score down was some of the

006language. And the language is in there, but it was considered like loose language like um certain things are encouraged rather than we want to have this type of nutrition program. Um, that they say we discourage having candy in the classroom rather than we'll we'll will not have candy in the classroom. Those types of things. So, some things that I just kind of suggested um to from the committee is that we just kind of look at that language and find out what how do we want that language to look. Do we want to continue to have it that encouraged or do we want it to be um more more driven? Um some things that we we wanted to look at and some recommendations is number one look at just the policy language and just it was

007it was more that the the loose type language. Um the other thing we came up with was um classroom practices really looking at like I think kind of when when I left the district and came back um having the conversations about like what does fundraising look like? what do our practices look like when we're having like different activities and birthday parties and are what kind of snacks are coming in? So, we kind of looked at like do we really want to have conversations around that on you know when we talk about the behaviors and we talk about um the sugar and all of that and how it affects behaviors and moods of kids. Do we want to have some serious conversations about that on what what we want coming into the classrooms and things like

008that and how we want to communicate that moving forward. Um the other thing we looked at is continuing to protect physical activity. That was one of our strengths that we had in the district is that we from our physical education and our health education standpoint, we do offer the higher level of engagement and activity minutes for our kids here in Mosine. Um so then for that now our next conversation was um how do we want to look at our discipline practices and do we want punishment of physical activity to be part of that or do we want to have other restorative methods rather than just taking away recess time when we know that's very beneficial for kids. Um, and so we came up with some goals and what we wanted to do is we wanted

009to look at improving our our language by 15%. And that's simply just looking at that that type of language and just adding those changing those different words, the policies written really well. It's more or less do we want to be more strict on it or do we want to encourage just the same language that we have? Um, looking and having promoting healthy classrooms and just having conversations and collaborations around that. Um, so that 85% of classrooms are really discouraging unhealthy snacks, foods, having suckers like in the room for free grabs, things like that. We even had conversations around our offices on on what are the things that we have out in our office that kids can just grab and and eat and things like that. And how do we want to give out incentives? Do

010we want to give out sodas or do we want to give out different types of incentives? Um, and then community engagement. um reaching out and kind of getting feedback and surveys on on how community feels about our wellness and and what does that look like from a whole perspective of community holding each other accountable for, you know, as we move forward and and we start doing more deep dives into what we're actually putting into our bodies. And so that's kind of everything in a nutshell of what we did. And like I said, it it was a great conversation that kind of sparked more of more of that how do we get more people involved with this and have healthy conversations around this because we know kind of when we talk about behaviors and we talk

011about attendance and we talk about moods, you know, is is the wellness and the things that we're doing is that could that be affecting it? So, any questions? >> I have a few. Um, >> so pertaining to actually two questions. So, pertaining to this report, is this for all the buildings? >> Yes. So are you able to like pull apart the buildings to see where you need to be strengthening um you know the the classroom snacking? >> Right. So that was kind of our conversations on from when I brought it back to the admin team. Do we start looking at making little wellness committees within each building? Okay. And saying now coming back with goals. How are you promoting healthy classrooms within the elementary? How are you promoting healthy classrooms within middle school? And then

012that way when we come together as our annual we have that feedback from all those committees as well. So that was kind of one thing we talked about >> for the physical activity. Are you also taking into consider the extracurriculars activities that kids participate in? Is that kind of tying into this as well? So maybe like an incentive or if kids are going out for extracurriculars, you know, that could tie in for that kind of report as well. I don't know if that's or said just recess and physical ed >> the the the well set specifically focused on just the school day. >> Okay, got it. >> And then and like the curriculum required minutes and things like that. >> Could you tie the extracurricular activities into it? >> We we've had that discussion and

013that's where that was kind of why our strengths were is the amount of involvement that we have and the same thing with our curriculum. >> Okay. >> So that was that was a big strength of ours. So, so will you be giving suggestions to the schools for alternative um maybe snacks or you know juices or something you know that wouldn't be sugar wouldn't be carbo you know a lot of the things that aren't helping our children right >> so are is somebody going to kind of put a list together so parents can you know if the birthday while I'm getting the cupcakes from Piggly Wiggly, you know, >> rather than that, what else can they bring? You know, kind of thing. >> And I think that's kind of that ongoing what came out from this

014process was that that conversation on how do we formulate those people and how do we get where it's it's community, it's staff, it's even students too that are having these conversations too, even at the high school. Um, so that's that's kind of what our next steps like. That's that's kind of what we're we're presenting to you as kind of just our findings. Um, and then from there, it's more or less like how do we want to go about this and how do we want to approach it within our buildings? because I know, you know, if you could involve Piggly Wiggly or Mullins or, you know, some of the places in the area that have healthy snacks or, you know, different choices, you know, maybe you could get the community involved that way. >> Sure. In

015in a sense, >> that that's kind of that that was that tied to that community engagement. Okay. How do we get those businesses like talking about gluten-free options, things like that? >> Right. Okay. How do you measure the community things something like the community engagement >> for like for increasing? >> Yeah. >> Um I think we kind of looked at like reaching out to surveys and and talking about how like what what are the things that you hang your hat on with wellness and and with that are we bringing in education pieces from the community as well. Um, so I think that kind of ties into how much involvement has come in to talk about wellness, how much involvement is on those committees, things like that. >> Okay. So like a 50% increase. You're measuring

016that I guess. What's the what are you benchmarking that against? >> Um, I would say that would be more of like our our wealth. I think that was the community base like the the involvement of it because in the past we haven't had a lot of community like businesses that come on to the committee and have those conversations. Mhm. >> So I think that increase so 50% looks big but when you look at it that's three four people from businesses to be on the committee because of the numbers right >> how many people are on the >> um there I there is on the on the agenda they have a recommendation of each I would say in general it's 17 to 20 people and it's it's on the policy where exactly how it's laid out.

017>> Kurt, community involvement. Obviously, the pool's big. Do people still walk? And the other thing is how much involvement are we going to try to have with our new fitness weight room with the community? >> I think that's kind of been that talk of bringing that back and having conversations around like when we have the the new fitness facility, is there a way because now with our entrance, there is there's there's an access point where we can have actual that going on. And then we even talked about do we even have students doing youth apprenticeship hours at that desk to be there servicing it so that the way the wait room's currently looking at and we're looking to design it is that it can fit classrooms and community in there at the same time. >>

018That's awesome. >> Thank you very much. >> Yeah. Thank you. >> Thanks Kurt. >> Thank you. Okay. Item 62, discussion, library report. >> So, um I was fortunate enough to have Lori compile this before she retired. Um she sent it to me um in her last few days. She's like, I know you're going to have to give this report, so she put it together for us. >> Fantastic. >> Did you buy her pizza? Oh, no. Don't get her pizza. Get her sugar-free. No. Um so, some celebrations we had. We did have two um people retire that had spent a lot of time in this district. Um and so we did we chose not to replace um Lori at this time and we're kind of going to restructure how um students use the library. They're still

019going to go in the library. They're still going to check out books. Um another assistant from the elementary slid into um Mrs. Olsen's spot there. And then Hannah's going to stay at the high school and she welcomed a new baby this year. So that's happy. It's awesome. >> Um, just some statistics about the circulation desk and the size of our collection. We do have a lot of um, library books for kids to check out. And they do check out a lot of books. Um, and then there's classes that ran out of the library last year. That's what's going to be restructured this year. So, it's going to look a lot different moving forward. And then, um, there was a lot of pictures which you can look at, um, in the links that you have. >>

020And we do fix Chromebooks through the library as well. So we fixed um a lot of problems. >> That's humongous. >> Yeah. >> I mean it really is humongous. >> Yeah. So students just pay for the parts and not any of the labor. So the kids do all the labor. >> That's the library work. >> All right. Thank you very much. Item six. Any any other questions? Okay. Item 63 discussion construction update. >> Steve. >> Perfect. All right. So in front of you'll see well basically we know the project has been bid out and we are contracts have been let to contractors. Um on this sheet before in front of you you'll see a list of the contractors that are have contracts set to them. These contractors are all been vetted through fendor make sure

021things are not missed or omitted in their bids to ensure that they're equal because that always happens in projects who included what. So we make sure that we're we're solid in that fact because that does change the numbers at the end. We don't want our numbers changing. So that being said, uh we had actually um 107 bids on this project for a bid pack 3 um which is a bid pack we're kind of looking at here. Um and um that's actually very good turnout for us. Very very good turnout. Um so we had that our project is out in many places and around the state to look at and to bid. So um we're very pleased with our contractors that we have on here. A lot of them have worked for us in the past.

022So, um, that being said, um, Fendorf did have some bids in this bid pack three. They gave their bids to us a day prior to their bids being received from everybody else, and they were awarded one of the one of the three bids. So, um, that we know everybody's number is validated. Um, but you know, if you look at this sheet here, you'll see there's a lot of people going to be on our job site, and there's a lot of folks that help put this project all together. Um, and like I said, we know most of them, a lot of local contractors. We're glad and we're looking forward to having a really really good project. Um she >> Steve, can you just talk just so the board knows? Uh we don't hold these contracts, >>

023correct? >> So you just want to talk? >> Yeah. Yep. So basically those contracts are are all through uh Synindorf construction. Our contract is with Spindorf Construction. Um and that contract for the GP which is a guaranteed maximum price to the district. Um that has been solidified and that price of them is 18 million 573818. Um and that includes um there we go. So if you look at this sheet these are all the sections in bid pack 3 that were bid out division one 2 3 as you walk through those you can see uh what was included in that. And that being said um there's lots of parts that put uh building all together. And then of course the contractors on the first sheet you saw were selected from those divisions of what they submitted

024in their bid. Some people actually bid on two or three different items. You know they were awarded some depends what they can do and they're qualified to do. But at the end of that if you can roll forward in that page >> we thought we put >> that's all right. >> Yeah. So you have this you have this in your data packet as well. Um but as you go through all the different divisions you know we have around the division 31 33. Earthwork is the last really main division. Um we also have allowances in this project. What you have to have is you're building your your whole entire project. There's things that are very small. Prime would be, you know, um testing. Um so we have to have a company that comes in and will

025test our concrete. Every time they make a pour, they'll take that concrete off to the side and they'll be tested and you have to make sure the compaction is right. So those are small contracts within a big contract, but you need that as a as a project goes through because you have to verify what you did and make sure you got the right product on deck. Um, so there's lots of pieces that are moving inside this project, but like I said, those are all held with Fendor Construction. They're handling those items. We also have some alternates in the bids that we had. Let's see the next page now. Yeah. So, there's some when we laid the project out, of course, cost is always a concern. Where are we going to sit with everything and we

026don't know what our numbers are going to be. So, we had broken out alternates in this project to see what we could or couldn't afford. Um, and as our numbers came in, we were able to accept those. We're very pleased with that. Uh, wasn't sure if we're going to get all the pieces that we're looking for. Um, but as I told you, right now, we have a GMP not to exceed. So, we're protected in that regard. >> You just Steve at alternate seven. we rejected, but that really wasn't. >> Yeah, it's it's listed there. No, it ultimate 7 was an option in price and type the equipment, but that came in much higher than uh our base piece, which I kind of figured it would, but was worth a stab to take a peek at

027it. Um, and uh, so altered subtotal, you can see that came in at 419. Um, and then basically, uh, we have some wants and desires we're going to work with. as a project goes through, you know, we have allowances made in this contract, but you don't know until you get the project rolling and hopefully we come ahead on some of those allowances and we have option to do other things. So, um, but I would say too what we have set for our guaranteed maximum price in the contract, I'm very pleased to be sitting there. Um, and we can handle it from that perspective. Um, just a couple of little notes I guess I'll throw in there really quick. There's a couple things that are on our uh because I pull them out separately. uh we

028have a separate contract for our HVC controls. So I have a contract uh set up differently that goes directly to the district because I don't need that going through another vendor. Every time it goes through a vendor, there's markup and cost of all that increases your bonding. So some things if I can pull out, I will. And I'm already under contract with that company as well. Um and then a little update, our state of Wisconsin review, plan review was set for the 16th of July and they the state got ahead of themselves, which is great. Um, so they actually uh completed their review of our plan July 11th. So I've actually the plans came to me today. They're in my office. I know they're state approved plans to be on the job site. >> They

029were actually pouring concrete today. >> Yeah. Well, I could break this up. When we when we set a plan into the state, we always ask for um footage and foundations early so they can review that piece of the puzzle and we get an okay from the state to go ahead and do that work. Um, and that's why we can pour the concrete that we're pouring and touch the ground otherwise we don't touch it. Um but this is like the the large piece of the project um that the state takes time to review. Um and they have reviewed it and we have an acceptance letter back from the state. A few things of like they always do in the board of plates to check and things we're doing because every building is designed differently. There's different

030fire issues. Remember we're building a building against an existing building and we have to make a fire barrier wall between the new building and the old building. And that being said, the reason that happens is the state allows to do that. And if I'm over 12,000 square feet, I have to sprinkle it, which is fine. Um, but so the new addition, everything inside will be under a full sprinkling system. But if they didn't put the firewall, I have to sprinkle your entire whole building, and you couldn't afford to touch that with a 10ft pole. So, uh, we pay for the firewall. I understand it's expensive, but it's nothing to the cost of retrofitting your building. Um, so that's what happens in that regard, and that's then Steve Cameron's architect to put that together, work with

031the state. state can be kind of funny because if you think about when you walk through a new building, you're going to walk into the old building, right? There's quarters are going to be happening. So, we have double sets of doors that are to our fire system through magnetic cold lock. So, that's how this gate allows you to enter through those barriers. Okay. And one other thing I would throw in there too with that is since we are encompassing our gym currently, um the egress out of the gym is a very important aspect. So, we are actually cutting hallways to our existing building to get you out of the gym in the event of a fire or a hazard or something because right now I can't use the code way for the new building. Those

032things just kind of get you. Um, but we work through all that. The state approved everything. We're very pleased with that. Um, and then, uh, one more thing on us will be a speestous removal. That's always on the district. So, that cost will be directed to us. I'll manage that with Fendorf as we go through the project and we'll pick those areas out as we can. Um, in the last did the last page come from the flyer. Was there a flyer? >> No, it wasn't attached. >> Oh, okay. So, anyway, there'll be a flyer coming out from Fendor. They do this every two weeks of the project. It's really very nice. You'll see pictures, updates, and that's going to be posted to our website so the public can track that as we roll. Um, and

033that's a very nice way to go. So, it's a good selling point and keeps people addressed what's happening, why we're doing what we're doing. tentative time frame for the new addition to be done. >> Yeah, you know, we're working on schedule right now. I would say we'll have aspects of it done. You know, we we're going to walk into an interesting situation because we have a lot of demolition in the existing building which is sandwiched between everything, the locker rooms and all that. So, uh there'll be some talk down the road how we schedule that because we don't want to tear old stuff out and drag it across my brand new floor and wreck what I just built. So, those are some issues we have to work through. We're going to have to take some

034of those areas probably a little bit early. play Greg and I will work through that with the principles and see when we can have it. Um, but predominantly I'm hoping that by really, you know, April, fall weather goes good, part of May, we we're substantially complete on our new addition. Not that we can have occupancy. The state's not going to give it to me, but that does let me get into those areas, maybe relocate certain things ahead of time. Um, but like I said, I hope the weather treats us well through fall. That's a big thing. Get this building buttoned up and by fall and we can work inside. >> Our uh our pre-cast panels are going to come early. >> Yes. much earlier. So, we won't be able to >> get a roof on

035it before the snow flies. >> Yeah. The goal is in November, first part of December. Now, we got us moved in September. >> September. So, we're tickled pink to see that's coming because I can't set seal without that. >> Um, so yeah, we're we're we're very happy with those dates and uh it pays to work with a good contractor. I can tell you. >> Are are we going to be able to take those flyers? Do they go to the publics on the updates? I mean, we'll be >> put social media, things like that. >> Yep. Yep. >> Yep. We talked about that today. So, yeah, it'll be going on our website and appreciate it. >> Any questions I can answer for anyone? >> I got a question. Maybe it's too late because it's a big

036one. >> In particular, the HBAC equipment. >> Mhm. >> Uh local vendors. >> Yes. >> Green neck. >> Correct. Right. We we did a base design around Green because of the new products that they offer for us. Um so that was our basis of design. Um Great. And you know, it worked out actually very well. I rolled out some new pieces of the equipment which actually marries up to us very very well. Um, and the reason I went that way is because of the fact that we have very little hot water on this plan. Um, and I did that in purpose because trying to maintain our cost. But when you do that, there's always a trick of the trade of what you're trading for temperatures and things of that nature. How you going to handle

037it? Um, and what we were able to do with some of the new Green products because they're really pushing the envelope what's new out there. Um, they created some very nice pieces. going to give us some very good temperature control our range and I think you'll be very satisfied when we're done with all that and the cost definitely helped us become within budget. We would never have made budget if we put out hot water on it just wouldn't have happened. You had another million dollars on top of this because you're going to boil the plants and all that goes with it. We're using some hot water off our existing but we had to look how we control costs if that makes sense. But yeah, I'm very pleased that that green neck will be providing products

038for this this job and uh I think we're going to be seeing in very very good light. Yeah, because a lot of people in the school district work at Green Act. >> Correct. Yes. And and they were very generous to us as well and worked with us. So, I was very pleased that they put a lot of effort up front um to help us with this design because it's a big process when you start laying all these buildings out and >> how you going to connect them and all these different pieces that that come into it. But I would just say that we had a very good team for our architect and our engineers that came on board. And to that point, Joel, another area uh on there was Wasa Tile is very good to

039us as well with our very generous tile. They were very generous to us on pricing. >> Yes. >> Uh unbelievably generous to us on pricing and product. >> It's awesome. >> It helps us make our numbers or we never would make it. >> Yep. >> So, we thank everybody that put their project and time on this for us to get started. >> And then obviously Newton Vanert and Systems Technology the design for us. >> They saved us a ton of money as well. This is very complex. >> There's a lot there's a lot of moving parts, but you know, the thing I would say to you folks is that you can rest well because I have a guaranteed maximum price to complete. I have the right people on board and I'm really looking forward to

040a great project. So, if you have any questions that come up in your mind, you got my number call. We'll have to answer your questions and we'll have Greg will talk later down the road about our open house and when we do our groundbreaking ceremony with that. We're going to be have ground broken because we can't wait for you guys, but we'll tie it in when Greg said to tie it in. Um, but we got to make cave in the sunshine. So there we go. >> Thank you, Steve. >> You're welcome. >> Thank you. >> Okay. Item number seven, public form. Uh the new policy is in place now. Um we have a clipboard now that will Jackie has it that you are allowed to sign up. If you want to talk about an agenda

041item, you can. If you want to talk about a non agenda item, you also can. The board doesn't have to respond. The rules are the same. It's three minutes. Nothing personal. No personal tax. Has anybody signed up? Anybody wishing to talk or want to sign up? I just want everybody to know that when Kirk got the wellness thing going, I I grabbed the water, not another Pepsi. >> So, if you speak publicly about that, I'm trying to do my part. >> Changes already. >> That's right. >> Okay, we will move on then. Item eight, consent agendas. There was one item from the personnel committee that we voted on, but it's coming to the full board. That's the employee handbook. Um, we didn't pull it's it automatically was pulled out because we felt it vote, but

042the uh committee did vote to approve that. Anything else from the chair with any of the other committees? Okay. Any everything went no problems. >> Okay. I will seek a motion then to accept all the consent agendas. >> I'll make that motion. >> We have a motion by Gorman. >> Second by Bower. Any discussion? >> Okay. All those in favor say I. >> All those opposed. >> Motion carries. Item nine, discussion, possible decision, approval of monthly voucher list. >> I'll make a motion to approve. I have a motion second. We have a second by Gorman. >> Any discussion? >> Okay. Roll call vote. >> Stinkowski. >> Yes. >> B. >> Yes. >> Nest. >> Yes. >> Madler. >> Yes. >> Zebro? >> Yes. >> Gorman? >> Yes. >> Kaiser? >> Yes. >> Maple? >> Yes.

Phys physical restraint and um seclusion report. >> Yeah, this is me, Brian. This is our annual. Every year we have to provide

044the physical uh seclusion restraint report to the board. Um and this always falls in in in Brian's world. So Brian will be doing the presentation of it. >> So like Greg said, this is an annual report. Um, one thing I like to do with you just to start off is kind of go over our rules and regulations that we have to follow because I know we have some new members on the board. Um, so the two acts that govern schools is act 125 and 118. and it really does outline the training, the guidelines, the documentation definitions that we have to follow as a school. The big changes that occurred recently were in March of 2022. One of the big things that they changed that we just have to be aware of and our school resource

045officer and I have had conversations is even if a police officer were to do something on school grounds, do a restraint or seclusion, that's now part of our numbers because the reason that was added in some different districts, things like that, they would say, "Oh, we don't want those numbers cuz we don't want to report them to the state." So they would call the police officers in to do the seclusion and restraint because then they didn't have to report. Well, in March of 2022, that rule change. So it's any seclusion or restraint that happens on our school grounds. Um, as part of that too, they did clarify some additional things. I think it's been for the better to help us gain clarity about what restraint is and isn't. But one of the things it did

046outline is um we had to inform parents that there was a report available and we didn't provide it to parents. They had to request it. Now, as part of the rule, after 3 days, we have to provide that to parents so they know what the incident looked like. They know what all happened, what we tried, cuz that report is very detailed to say what happened prior to engaging in seclusion and restraint and what did you do afterwards. So, it lets parents know kind of what led up to everything and how are we going to change future practices. Um, also as part of that, it used to be best practice that the team had to come together who were involved in it to process it. It was best practice law required. Now within 24 hours of

047that incident, the team has to come together. There's a set agenda that I have as part of the documentation where they talk through what was the trigger, what was going on, how was it handled, what are you going to do differently in the future if we don't see improvement, what do we do? That's no longer back best practice. That's a requirement of the law. Um, and then the last change, last two changes they made, um, if it's a student with a disability, because what happened, you used to be able to write seclusion and restraint into IEP saying this was a practice we use, they said you no longer can do that because then that's your first resort. That's what you would always go to. So basically what they said, you're not running into IEPs anymore,

048but if you use it twice within the same school year, you must have an IEP within 10 days to say, "How are we supporting this student? Are our supports working or do we need to change our approach to try to make this not a common practice?" So it changed for the special ed world as well. Um, and then >> quick, sorry. Do guardians have to sign off on that documentation then when you supply that within 24 hours? >> You, we do not have to have them sign off. It's just giving them a copy of the report. So, >> can I ask another question as well? >> Go for it. Um, along those lines, um, with the seclusion and restraint, what if the parents or guardians want that in the IEP? And from what you're saying,

049the state is saying no, that should not be the first resort book. If they are, if parents are wanting that, can that be? >> So, we would document that if parents are saying, hey, if it hits this threshold because our rule of when we use it as schools is if they are a threat to themselves or others. So, what I do at the IEP, I'm not saying we don't use it. We just try to make sure we hit this threshold. So if they're saying we want it, like I will document the conversation and say we're not saying we will never use it. We're saying if it hits this threshold, but if a parent's requesting like, hey, if my kid is doing something that's not of risk, >> I would explain to them that's not a

050time that you would really want us to use it. And just talk that through with the family. But saying, "Hey, if your kid's running to a road, a car is coming, we are going to physically restrain so they don't run in front of a car, you know." So I explain that risk process so we can find out what is that common ground for us to say when is it appropriate for us to use it and when is it not. >> So that's how I would document it within the process. Does that answer your question? Okay. >> Um the last part two, one of the major changes that they came through, they said, "Hey, when you are training, it used to be we had to train people how to use the physical restraint." And that was

051the only requirement of the law. They said, "No, we have to train staff." And we've been doing this as a district here for many years. You have to do that full we call it nonviolent crisis training where you talk about how are you deescalating a student to not get to that point of physical restraint and seclusion. So how are we talking with students? How are we providing breaks? How are we doing different things so we're not having to engage in these practices. So the training now it says nope you have to do the full training with both parts how to restrain but also how to deescalate situations and I'll say as one of your trainers for the district really it's a two-day certification training a day and a half is spent on verbal deescalation it's

052spent on what are the different strategies and it's only a half day on the physical and one thing that works trying as a district to be proactive. I actually this winter did the verbal deescalation actually for our Lamer's bus drivers to try to help them build their toolbox. So when they're taking kids home, they have ways to help kids deescalate or ideas or a toolbox to pull from that they didn't they had previously but they may have tweaked further. So >> awesome. Um then lastly the thing that did not change but it's there for you that you see these are the things I have to communicate to you by October one in regards to number of seclusion and restraint and how many students with disabilities and without disabilities were involved. So what I like to

053do is give you kind of our five-year trend. Um so the last two years um in 2023 2024 you notice we kind of had an uptick there. Um really in my year of coming to evaluate and look at that we had a lot of staff the definition wasn't clear of what it was. So like if someone was comforting your student or asking them to hold their hand as they walked to the office since there was some physical touch they documented that as restraint unlike if a student is willingly walking with you to the office holding your hand that is not the definition of restraint. So I did a lot of education this last year to help people understand what did count what didn't count. So that's where you see this year we have four incidences

054at the elementary, one at the high school and none at the middle school or pride center. So our staff really worked hard and the elementary as you know due to those numbers in 22 and 23 being high. We were identified as DPI for overuse of seclusion and restraint. So, we had to come up with an action plan and with the whole elementary staff, we did some of the nonviolent deescalation training whole staff so people knew how to talk students down, how to try different things to help. Um, but then you see who was involved. We had three students with the disabilities that are part of those numbers and one student without. Um, and here are the next steps I'm going to be working on this next year. One of them, because the data is a

055year behind, so step five that you will see, we did get identified for a second year for overuse of seclusion and restraint because of our 23 24 numbers. So when I report, we will hopefully be off watch the after this year, but I'm working with Tom that we'll continue education, maybe do more scenarios with it to help because we do have some new staff members that we can work through and help build their toolbox. Um, another thing too, we're going to continue to work through our multi-level systems of support that if we see this happening regularly, what are we doing to intervene and try different strategies? But that's my report. Any questions for it? >> Who's all required to do this then? Any staff or employees? So who we train currently um is all special

056education teachers and educational assistants. All principles are trained on it um and student services staff. So school counselor, school s one of the things we have been talking about as a admin team how we did at the elementary and trained all of the staff on the nonviolent side just the verbal piece. that really is a good tool for all teachers to have. So how that would look is something we're trying to figure out because to DD your cuffs and I are the only certified trainers we have and to do that training we are only allowed a certain number of staff at a time due to the company's rules. So we're trying to figure out how to work with both logistics to make that happen. But those are the people we currently require to get this

057training. >> Other questions? >> Thank you very much. >> Yeah, we need a motion. Second just for >> Okay, >> I'll make the motion to >> We have a motion by Gorman. >> Second by Kaiser. Any discussion? >> All those in favor say I. >> All those opposed say nay. >> Motion carries. Item 112, discussion, property, cyber liability, auto crime, and workman's compensation terms. Greg, >> yeah, last month uh we asked you guys to just give Rod and I the authority to to go forward and make a decision. I know I sent you an email outlining this, but I just wanted to bring it forward again uh to you that we did make the decision. We are switching to EMC. Uh the quotes were similar, but EMC came in uh about $1,100 less. Uh the

058big difference was on the workers comp uh dividend where EMC had a 10% higher dividend than WormAC. Uh which could result in our district's case of one another $8,500. So all in EMC was you know close to $10,000 cheaper. Uh and they also had better coverage for the uninsured and underinsured motorists. Um I can tell you I've worked with EMC before. They're extremely reputable firm. Um EMC is interesting in how they're they're well known and used in the school sector uh for this kind of insurance. Uh and EMC divides the state in half and uh one company gets to sell one half of the state, one other company gets to sell the other half of the state. The company on our half of the state uses uh doesn't sell it all themselves. They have uh

059other brokers that they work through. So it's kind of a process, but um uh it went really well. Uh, and I have a lot of confidence. So, I don't know, Rod, if you have anything to add beyond that. >> No, unless they had any questions. I think we had to email that. >> Yep. >> Detailed at all. >> Yeah, we don't need a motion. We gave you that. >> But thank you for the communication >> item. Anybody got any more questions? >> Okay. 11. Item 11.3, a discussion, possible decision 256, employee handbook. Yeah, the employee handbook um has gone through two months now with the personnel committee. One thing I would tell you, there's a little bit of work left I I need to do on one part of schedule G, which is the part

060of not the coaches, but more of the co-curricular, which is actually not coming forward for approval. The the people in those positions aren't coming forward for approval until next month. Um, but I'm asking for approval of the employee handbook and then if there's changes to schedule G, we'll bring them back to the personnel committee before we approve those individuals for that because I just want to get this out to staff. Um, the employee handbook as it sits now, there's not a ton of changes in it. Probably the biggest changes we made were we made a lot of changes in terms of trying to clean up language, consistent language, you know, adding in adding some language that was missing. Um, and we also tried to reference policy uh that reference the language in it so people

061could look at the actual policy that corresponds to it. So, it's just kind of more of a I would say just a complete go through and clean up the handbook um and and get it to a a better spot uh in that regard. But I think one of the the next challenge that I'm going to have with it um is I think some of the appendixes we need to take a long hard look at and do they need to be in the employee handbook or can they be standalone? You know, like I would question if the extracurricular co-curricular salary schedule needs to be in the employee handbook or can be a can it be a standalone kind of a thing, you know, and there's some other stuff that I I would like to take a

062better look at. We also have to look at schedule G as a whole. We're up for review of that. But uh but yeah, that's the the general gist. >> Any the personnel committee did approve it, but we also felt it was important to have the entire board. It's because it's it's our employee handbook. >> Forget the name of the company that legally sites through all this stuff and scans for the language. Do we go against any of the no >> recommendations? No. I mean Neiola >> yeah it doesn't really I mean a lot of the language is directly related to policy a lot of the language that's in the handbook that's related to policy is >> state statute driven you know the >> the non-discrimination the you know what I'm talking about it's probably similar

063stuff what you're aware of Derek where you are you know the the >> all the language you the boilerplate language you need to have in there with all the different areas >> so we weren't making exceptions to anything there >> one of the comments that was made it earlier. Greg made it is that we we've kind of just tried to clean things up >> and nothing has really changed. >> no, just but tried to clean up some language things. For examp uh Title N areas. uh you know, we didn't do anything rogue with that, uh per se, but some of the language was outdated, uh and was lacking some important parts in it, like who the compliance officers are that wasn't listed in the handbook. So, there's some aspects of that that were just outdated

064and were missing key factors. So, that stuff was cleaned up. Uh probably the largest change colander that was made as I worked with some staff around the sick bank language. Um that got messy this year. uh combination of reasons why uh but that needed to get cleaned up. So we cleaned up the sick bank language uh to make it a little bit clear and better understood and easier to enforce or easier for people to understand. >> I appreciate that you are involving staff members and having a discussion. >> Well, it's it's you know the sick bank language is that the staff is the largest majority users of the of that. So, I wanted their input as well on what was what they were comfortable with. >> If I'll seek a motion then to accept. >>

065Make that motion. >> We have a motion by Bower to accept the 2526 employee handbook. >> Second. >> Got a second by Stan Kowski. Any discussion? All those in favor say I. >> I. I. >> All those opposed say nay. Motion carries. Item 11.4 four discussion a possible decision on the 2526 schoolboard meeting schedule. >> Yeah, this is the schoolboard meeting schedule uh we looked at last month. Uh there was the one request for the change in October which I believe was reflected uh in here. So seeking approval of this so we can get it posted uh for the world to see. >> We have a >> I'll second motion by Maple, a second by Zach Kaiser Gorman. Thank you. um to accept the 2526 scoreboard meeting scheduling discussion. >> All those in favor say

066I. I. >> All those opposed say nay. Motion carries. Item 11.5 discussion of possible decision board meeting location. I was asked to put this on um to look at uh moving this to what is what was commonly referred to as the high school study hall room, but is not going to be the study hall room anymore cuz study halls are going into the classroom. So, it's it's a fairly large room on the edge of the building. Um away from kind of that central hub that we had talked about last year with the library was in the central hub of all the gymnasiums and everything. This is uh if you understand the building, it's the it's the end of the building. It's like the second room in closest to the football bleachers uh on that corner

067of the building. >> I I'm the one that asked them to do this. Um you we with the new addition when it's done, our board, we'll have our meetings in the boardroom uh which is designed for that. So, we're going to be moving there anyways. Um we all these tables, everything would would go there, the chairs. Um I just feel a larger room, a bigger area is better. That's my feeling. Greg feels like it's better for him to be there. Greg Greg wants to be in the building as much as he can and I understand that and I appreciate that that he's going to be with the principles, students and things like that. We when I taught we used to call this the palace that they were so disconnected from what was going on and

068and I that's why I'm glad everybody's moving to the high school because now if you have an HR question you can just go down to the high school off you know and ask. You don't have to worry about all this. So I I'm the one that did it and I think Steve I think every all we're not buying anything. >> No, it's just a matter of moving. >> Just a matter of moving it and we're not going to use >> that room for really anything. No. >> So, I'm I'm the one Greg. We talked to Greg and I talked to Megan about it. We both agreed that this might be a good thing to do. >> Which room is it again? >> It's the old used to be the old library. >> Old library. >>

069Long time ago. >> Mhm. >> So, are there a lot of are there a lot of activities at school? Because I know we >> Well, they can lock it down. That's the other thing. No. >> Well, we discussed this already and we said the parking could be an issue, >> right? I would say um I would argue where we talked about doing it last year was going to be difficult with parking because it was right in the center of the building. This is going to be on the very edge of the building. So I don't think parking is going to be nearly the issue for Landra than what it was. >> Two things when he told me we have the ability to lock it down so people on a sporting event can't get to that

070park. We can open up the door by the football field and then we can even do there's parking right there. So I I think that might be better than the library. >> Does that have the same is there a cost associated with like the video, the audio, anything? >> No, that would be that would be easier to move. Um we're already putting some not video and audio there, but that's not a difficult thing to move. We're we're already putting a a TV in there just simply because that's where we're going to be holding the min meetings and other, you know, type meeting stuff in the building. um because it's a larger minimal space for us as a school to operate with. >> So I have that stuff anyway basically. >> Yeah. >> My other thing,

071Dave, was that I I just want to get more people in the building. >> I think the more people we have in our buildings, I think the better off it's going to be the next year, the more we can get parents and people to be in our sporting events, our activities, um see the construction, see what we're doing, be transparent about what's going on. One of the things I really heard from community members is when we did have the open house for the building, how many people really appreciated being able to see that. So, and I I didn't feel comfortable making this decision without the approval of the board. I think I'm a little concerned about doing this right now with the construction and not prior to the start of the year. I mean, I

072can see us looking down the road. Um, but again, we only have August. I know we always have it. We had it in the library before, but I would really like to see the start of the school year and just see making sure everything's smooth before we start moving in there and get that taken care of. But again, that's just me. >> Understand? >> I struggle with the fact that we've already discussed this and we're bringing it back again. Number one. Number two. Yep. We the the audio and visual will be going in there eventually, but this also is a good functional space. We don't there's only a handful of times where we've had needed space larger than this. But I also think it's just could be confusing to some people when you're going from

073here to there temporarily and then going to go move again to a new space. I'm fine with that. I would make a motion to approve. >> We have a motion to move the meeting location to the study held by Stanowski. >> I'll second. >> Have a second by Nest. Any more discussion? >> I like the idea the additional or encouraged community involvement, encouraging attendance. >> Okay, I'm going to be honest with you again because I am. You could go from a basketball game to the meeting if you had to, but right now because of sporting events and things, there are people that don't get a chance to come to our meetings. And then to me, that's a disconnect um from what we're trying to do. I really think we passed this referendum because people felt

074that we were connecting to them and we went with something that was just transparent and simple to the needs of this school district. I don't have a problem with, you know, we are moving, we are going to be moving our beans over there, and I think it is good and I don't think we're here trying to hide anything in this building. I mean, we I think we're being transparent here. I I think the part that I do have a problem with, like Jessica mentioned, is that we had this discussion. We had a thorough discussion. It was voted to stay here, and now we're having a discussion again, which seems to be common practice now, which it never has been. So, >> I'll just make the reference that we remember we had a new we have

075three new board members. >> We do. >> But every time we have a new board, I mean, >> I think this will happen every time you do have a new board because you'll have three new board members. >> No, that has not been >> the way it has been historically. >> And and in the past, we've already had them. We did a trial. We did move it into the middle school. We had one in the elementary school and it was did was not well received by the community and were because trying to move everything was hard for it. Uh the space people were getting confused. Um and as Clander, I'm going to piggy back off that as well. We're going to be moving and moving again. And again, we got to construction right now. I

076I just don't think it's smart um at this time to move until we see how this school year is going to start out. It's not that it can't be revisited after we see what's going to be happening, but I I >> just my opinion again. Any more discussion? >> Okay, we're going to do a roll call vote. >> We'll start with Power. >> Yes. >> Nest, >> yes. >> Mapler, >> no. >> Zebra, >> no. >> Gorman, >> no. >> Kaiser, >> yes. >> Maple, >> no. >> Sinkoski, >> yes. >> Naminsky, >> yes. Motion carries, right? 54. We will have the August meeting and the study hall then. Okay. >> Okay. >> Thank you. All right. Item 12, administrative reports. >> Um, I just want to touch on a couple things on my report.

077Uh, and I'll send a follow-up email to the board. There's some commitments that uh snuck up on me that I didn't get in the board report that I want you guys to be aware of. number one, uh, August 11th, uh, and and I'll follow this up with with an email so you don't have to chicken scratch it down. Now, uh, we'll have new staff orientation. Uh, we're going to do it a little differently this year, but I'll give you the time of when you you you can kind of come and introduce themselves. We've also invited the mayor uh to invite them into the be a part of the community of the school district or somebody a representative from the the city uh to welcome our new staff to the district and the city of Mosini

078and the community. Um I think you know is going to be important. Uh August 12th is the then the next day is our welcome back for the staff. So I'll get you that information. And then as is alluded earlier, we wanted to tie the groundbreaking to an event going on the school open house. So, the groundbreaking will be August 13th at 6. We'll be getting out formal invites to that to you guys and other dignitaries, uh, city, uh, legislative representatives from our our area, Brent and and Corey and our Senator Tomch, Representative Jacobson, uh, and and all those individuals. Uh, we'll be getting formal invitations from the district uh, coming up here in the next week. We just, uh, Fendorf just finalized the the invite for us. So, designed it. So, we're that'll be gaining

079out and we'll be putting that out publicly too as well on social media and other areas here coming up in the next week. The other thing I want to talk about state budget uh state budget was kind of a a slowgoing process and then it went by in the flash of an eye in like 12 hours. Um uh uh the governor and uh legislative leaders uh came to an agreement on the budget. Uh, a couple things I just want to touch on with the budget. Uh, probably the biggest thing I want to touch on with you is if you followed it, the governor's veto of the 325 per pupil for the next 400 years made it it was found to be constitutional by the state supreme court. Uh, so we get 325 per pupil for

080the next now 399 years or something like that. Um but in the budget process there was no new aid added to it. So we have to understand that if the full 325 per pupil is going to be on the back of the taxpayer. They added no new aid to the formula. The state did not. That was a decision made uh during the negotiations between all parties. Um and there's a lot of stories I could probably surmise and tell you about that. I'll just leave that out right now. But uh so that's just an important thing to understand. And then a combination of we're projected to lose some aid next year or this coming year, a product of declining enrollment and a product quite honestly of fiscal responsibility because your aid is based on the amount

081you spend. Uh and so we stayed within the budget. So uh on the aid formula, you get penalized for that because they pay you for how much you spend. Uh you know, that hasn't been finalized. This is an estimate right now, but the biggest thing I just want to tell you is but Rod and I have been talking uh there's some things that we did at the end of the last fiscal year now that we're in the new fiscal year uh that I think we have some flexibility to help offset some of that aid decrease with some fund 39 levy. Um, so we're going to we'll be working on that here in the coming weeks to try to ease that burden as much as we can. So it's not all but one of the things

082we're going to have to do a very good job of >> uh is differentiating that the the tax increase is not all referendum tax increase. We're going to have to make sure the community understands this is the amount of the referendum tax increase we stayed within what we told you. this other part of the tax increase was outside our domain because that was all done in Madison and and other places. Um, >> we probably need to start doing that now, >> right? Hence why I'm talking about it right now. So, we understand that the the referendum debt is going to stay within what we said. It's the other half of the equation that we don't have any control over uh with the with the decision not to put any new aid into the revenue limit

083formula. Um, for those of you that uh are are new, um, my general synopsis of school finance is A plus B equals C. C is the revenue is is the approved revenue limit. That's based off of so much per pupil, which next year for us is roughly $11,650. Um, multiplied that by our our rolling three-year average of pupils gets you your revenue limit number. All right. and then you minus and then the state tells you how much your aid is based on enrollment and property valuation. So what happens is as our property goes up and our enrollment goes down, we look property richer, if that's not really a word, but we look more property rich. So therefore the property per pupil is higher. So the state says you get less aid because of that. Um,

084and you know, so we're now kind of living in, you know, we're not nearly to the world of the Northland Pines and the Lakelands of the world that are extremely property rich and get very little state aid and most of the taxes are paid by the taxpayers most of the the whole educational bill. Uh, but that's the way it works. And then so the state tells you what your aid is. So you minus C minus B equals A, which is the tax levy. Um, and that's just the general gist of how school finance works in a very simplistic 101 manner. Um, so we really only control two of those three letters. We control the tax levy and we control the revenue limit, but we really don't control any of that cuz the tax levy is

085the two the aid that they give us minus the revenue limit. And the revenue limit is all based on enrollment. And quite frankly, unless somebody has a great way for us to control enrollment, I don't think that we don't have a lot of control over that. But I will say, I was looking at the paper and it was nice to hear that they're looking at a housing development being added out >> by Storybook Kids. So that's an an exciting thing. >> And the bottom line is most people, which I understand, they look at their property tax bill and they see just a percentage of what is increased and and they usually get mad. >> Yeah. >> At the one that's increased the most. >> Yep. Yep. Do we have any numbers of new enrollments? Um,

086>> I don't we don't yet. That was uh I would say, Donna, we're probably about uh two weeks away from getting the final push of parents knowing what's coming. But that Yeah, that's >> that's something I haven't checked on lately um to know. Uh but the other good thing for us uh twofold then there was an increase in um special ed aid from what they were originally talking 42 and 45% which you have to understand it's it's probably going to be closer to 41 or 40% because they base it off of this year's uh expenditures times a a small inflationary increase that doesn't keep up with what the actual increase is. So, it's like trying to predict yes, tomorrow's money based on today's dollars. And that's a hard thing to do >> to 41. >>

087It went from 30, it was supposed to be 33, it was closer to 30 is what it was last year. It was going to go to 35 and then 37 1/2, but through the negotiations, it got moved to 42 and 45. Uh and then the other big change probably that impacts uh there's a little bit of money in for for student mental health, 40 million the first year, 10 million the second year to spread out across the state on a per pupil basis. Um so obviously we're going to get all the mental health solved in the first year. It's not going to be as much the second year. Um I say that in justest um because it's going to be an ever ongoing battle. And then the other thing would be um special or not

088special ed um open enrollment went up and since we're an open enrollment positive obviously that'll be a good thing for us the open enrollment reimbursement rate went up a little bit. Yeah. >> So the conference I was at over the weekend finance 101 that verbatim is pretty much what you said. All the school districts were lamenting over the numbers and the formulas and now the 325 that's added to >> the taxpayers. >> Um there was a lot of concern over some of those numbers and some of those new things happening but they were happy with the special ed.
