And then two more corrections. These were when we approved the additional blocks of instruction for the career academy uh teachers, Jacob Ays and Jolene Fretwell. I had put on there seven blocks. It's actually eight. So that and they've been doing that already. So that they've done that before. So that's not new. It's just a correction there. And then we
009have a host of people that were approved tonight to work through our community head extended day program. You see those names listed there. And then under um not for board action but for information only uh we've got the full listing of Kelly staffers. Some of those do work for Monica's community ed program and then the other box are all of the Kelly staffing folks that we have working in our schools on a day-to-day basis. You know, some of our aids are board hired, some are through the the temp the temp agency or Kelly staffing. And so we do have a list of those there. And then you have some information on various employees that are on leave and and who's going to be filling their leave and that type of thing. So, did y'all follow
010along with me or y'all trusting that what I read was correct? Was that good? >> Everything good? >> All right. So, uh, one more thing we do need to approve under the personnel report because this is a separate item is the 2526 activity and athletic supplement appointments. Okay. So last month you guys approved the positions and the amounts. This month you're approving the individuals who will fill those roles. So at this time I will recommend the 2526 activity and athletics supplement schedule with the positions. >> All right. >> Call all that off. >> I'm not going to call all that off. No. If anybody wants to see it, you're welcome to. We'll be here all night. >> All right. Board. We have a recommendation to approve the 2526 activity and athletic supplement uh appointments. Do

All in favor say I. >> I. >> Any opposed? >> All right, Dr. Holden, the motion carries. >> All right. Thank you. And the last thing I have is just a brief superintendent report. Did want to congratulate Todd Meccus. He's been elected as the ALET. Is that how you say that? That's the technology association for the state. He's going to be the representative for district 1. So apparently somebody other than us has confidence in him. And so
012he's he's going to be he's going to be taking on a leadership role with ALET. And we love it when our our folks are are stepping up at the state level and serving on those various committees and being elected to things. I think it speaks volumes for muscle shows. So congratulations to you, Todd. Uh I know Dr. Templeton was in Washington DC last week. He said he spent was it six nights there? Five nights? >> Oh, nine. I'm sorry. And he said it was five too many. Right. So, nine nights there, five night. Yeah. Five too many. But, uh, but I know I saw some pictures and and saw some of the work that he and his colleagues in the special ed world were doing advocating on behalf of special ed students and students with
013needs and at risk and that type of thing. We we appreciate the work that you do there and and just keep up the good work. Um, as I said, uh, during the work session, school's starting. is just around the corner and so institute will be July 31st. School starts. Students will be coming ready or not. Here they come. Right on August the 5th. That'll be the first day of school. So we look forward to it. A lot of changes in this district this year. You know, uh 30 plus retirements, a lot of leadership changes. And so we got a lot of people in new positions, but definitely a lot of excitement and a lot of very capable people. and and I've got all the confidence in the world in all the folks that we've we've
014put in different various positions. And I know some of you are here tonight that are about to take on new roles and we certainly welcome you to the family or welcome you back to the family. Some of you even have connections here uh in the past. So, uh we look forward to meeting you and and talking with you and been able to congratulate you privately. Obviously, I I want to mention Dr. Nichols. We thank you. I know it's kind of a bittersweet moment for her and u and I'll have more to say about that later, but u you know when I when I called her back in 2016 and asked her to come join us at the high school, uh wasn't sure if that call would work out. I didn't know if she'd hang up
015on me or say no thank you, but she took us up on it and we were fortunate to have her since 2016 working in leadership and administration here. She's done a fantastic job and everything she's done and uh I've enjoyed the last three years working with you and alongside you and just wish you the very best on your new endeavor. So with that, Mr. President, that's all I have. >> All right. Thank you for that report, Dr. Holden. Uh this concludes the agenda for our meeting. Is there any further discussion? >> All right, then this meeting is adjourned.
