001All right. So, it is May 25th at 5:30 and we're going to go ahead and call this special meeting to order. We're going to go ahead and do the pledge of allegiance. Do we need to do that today? That's completely up to you. Well, we'll do the pledge since I already said it. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. All right. All right, Mr. Martin, I'm going to turn it over to you. Thank you and welcome to our May special board meeting. We have one non-personnel item on the agenda, and that is to purchase um some shatter resistant film. Our district was given, I believe, $183,000 and $183,25 um for our

002school safety grant. Um, we did our initial purchase through y'all, approval through y'all for controlled access or access control um at about $150,000. Um, our next project we would like to do to finish out the grant is to put shatter resistant film in our entryways and all of our buildings and everything. It comes out to right at $132,500. It it is not um sometimes people think that it is um bulletproof and that is not what it's for. What it is is it keeps someone from breaching the door. It will you have to work at a very hard level to get to that class and it's about providing as much time between before someone if someone comes in the building until they enter in. It's it's in it's it's increasing your time of protection within the

003envelope of the building. And so putting that in all the buildings runs at about $32,571.60. Um the provider that we're recommending is a tips tax. Um so it it's it's through cooperative purchasing. Um I feel very good about what we're doing from a safety standpoint. We're moving to an SRO on each for each LEA. Um controlled access um process and procedures that we have in place. And this is just another level of protection for our our students and our faculty. Any questions? And the amount is 32,000, right? Yes, ma'am. $32,57160. Okay. And again, we want to remind them that it's not coming from any budgets of ours. It's a grant that was provide already paid for. It's a reimburseable. Um, as soon, you know, we we pay for it. It's already been approved through our

004application. Um, as soon as we pay for it, we'll request reimbursement and then it will be paid properly back by the state. Okay. Yeah. And we brought it to the board at this meeting rather than the June meeting to have it installed by the time school starts. Perfect. We weren't ready for the initial main meeting. We didn't have our number back yet. So, okay. All right. Oh, with that, I would like to make the recommendation. Sorry about that.
