001from executive session. Mr. Martin. All right. With with that, I'd like to make the recommendation that we accept the resignations of Danita Henson, John Krider, Elizabeth Fletcher, Kendra Mer, Wes Wilkerson, and Dylan Kenny. All right. So, we have a recommendation. Do we have a motion? I'll make a motion. So, we have a motion. Do we have a second? I'll second. All right. Do any questions, comments, concerns? Okay. All in favor? Any opposed? Okay. [Music] Next on the list is hiring. I'd like to make the recommendation that we hire Sarah Masal, Megan Harnesses, and Amber Jackson. All right. So, we have a recommendation. Do we have a motion? A motion. Do we have a second? Second. All in favor? Okay. All right. Next is transfers. I'd like to make the recommendation that we transfer Miss Jessica
002Woods um to instructional facilitator at the intermediate middle school or just for the district and Amanda Shackleford from social worker to schoolbased mental health um coordinator liaison and social worker. So Jessica's going to be for the district. Yes, ma'am. Okay. Yeah, I rambled a little bit. It's district. It's district. Okay. So we have a recommendation. Do we have a motion? I'll make a motion. Do we have a second? I'll second. Second. All in favor? Any opposed? Okay. Um, up next we have approval of two positions. Uh, Miss Markfeld and her staff have worked so hard on getting us approved to be a schoolbased mental health um provider. And with that comes the the need to hire a school-based mental health um counselor professional. Um, this position will be paid for off of Medicaid reimbursement and
003will be paid off of the therapist line and we're excited to provide that position. Um, mental health's a serious issue. We have tons we have tons of support from um um Chanel from Ozark guidance. We have kids who are not able to receive those services for whatever reason whether it be insurance and whatnot and this will give us the opportunity to do that. Miss Hartfield, would you like to add anything? No, I just think um with the grant of the certificate to be a school-based mental health site, it just really complements our community clinic success and it's just a natural partner and progression for where we're going and serving our community. So now we have the physical health, mental health, and then, you know, with the pantry, all of those things combined are really setting
004us. Where's this going to be located? Um it's not necessarily a spot. It's going to serve kids K12. Okay. Okay. So remember um earlier previous like February March we talked about we had 40 students that we could never um get the service either because the outside agencies were full. Medicaid wasn't coming through or they were insured. This will address that 40 that we never were able to serve this year. We don't want that to ever happen. So this will be traveling from location to location. That is a licensed mental health professional. It could be someone that's licensed as a social worker, licensed as a counselor. So it it gives you permission for whoever is licensed by the state of Arkansas with the credentials out outlined to be eligible to apply for this. So is there
005going to be a spot at each campus for them? Because I know there's criteria around where you can do services. We already have two and three mobile spots at every campus. So like OGC pops into these spot and those are those therapists or mental health providers are used to that kind of position. It's not necessarily Ann Mark Feld's room. It's the therapy room. Okay. So, we have one to two spots designated at every campus. Schedules don't conflict typically. So, they'll run a schedule like if that makes sense. They might do their office and paperwork not in that where they're providing services to students. Okay. So, but with the other number of students, we're going to be able to just coordinate a schedule for these other children who need services. We have the space. We don't
006have the people. Okay. Good. That was kind of my question. Thank you for answering that in a more eloquently way than I asked it. I appreciate it. We have a need and we have the space. We don't have the right people. So, this gives us freedom to do that. Okay. Awesome. And we're going to keep our partners with OGC. Sure. And and um Chanel and some others, but if you read recently, um Burl, which used to be youth bridge, has left the state of Arkansas completely. So, this is a great timing for us to be looking for licensed professionals who want to stay in the area. Okay. So, it's a great timing. Perfect. Okay. To catch some people. All right. Any other questions, comments? All right. Mr. Martin, with that, I'd like to make the
007recommendation that we approve the schoolbased mental health licensed health professional for the 2223 school year. All right. So, we have a recommendation. Do we have a motion? I'll make a motion. All right. We have a motion. Do we have a second? I'll second. All in favor? Any opposed? All right. That may be the longest title I've provid who which type of um person you can provide have the license. So you know up next we have uh we need to add a position within our district to meet standards. Um it's to provide help with our GT program to provide extension for our kids at the primary middle school and also be part of the middle school auxiliary team. So it's it's part of being a growing district which is a very good thing and to be
008able to provide those extension services for our kids. So when you say part of the auxiliary team what does that mean? So yeah go ahead. At the middle level um when students go to band, choir, PE, life skills. Um this year we had a media class. the students that are on those exploratory classes that lead to our further programs of study. Okay, they're on what we call a wheel or groups and they're called auxiliary teachers. Okay, so we um share auxiliary teachers, intermediate and middle school share those teachers typically, but when we did our reconfiguration and we were great um size-wise, but now that we've grown in both of those buildings, we really need a 1.5 of each of those people. So this says middle, primary, middle, right? So GT is for the middle and
009primary school. GT portion of this job. The 0.5 is the middle school auxiliary to to go together to make 1.0 FTE. Awesome. Thank you. So the person we're going to advertise for is GT because it will get a better applicant pool by advertising for a GT teacher. A GT certified teacher can also do an auxiliary extension piece of the wheel. And so it'll allow us to get the exact certification we need. Okay? We can't have flexibility when um applying GT services. It has to be a GT license educator. Okay. They they can do other things, but other teachers can't do GT. Perfect. Okay. I'm confusing today. Any questions? Okay. With that, I'd like to make the recommendation that we approve an additional teaching position for the primary middle school GT and also help us middle
010school auxiliary. All right. So, we have a recommendation. Do we have a motion? I'll motion. All right. Do we have a second? I'll second. All in favor? Any opposed? All right. Um, up next, I forgot to add things to the calendar of events. I know we have camp for going on next week. Um, that is an excellent opportunity for our parents who are not familiar with campal to have a day camp. You know, it gets them familiar before they have the opportunity to go to the seven or 14 day camps um out by the lake where the kids stay overnight and everything. So, it's a wonderful day camp opportunity. Um, we have um what was it called? Space camp starting up in July. Right after 4th of July. In July, we have um summer school
011going on for grades 9 through 12. So, there's kids I know school shut down on our school Wednesday school is May 25th. Our buildings do not shut down. We kids are up here constantly, which is what we're here to do. So, um, yep. Go ahead. And the pantry is also opened back up today after a little break at the end of the year. We had a great, uh, response today. We saw a lot of families coming in, whole families. So, that was fun to see some kids and some, um, families taking advantage of that. Um, with that, we also sent home over a hundred school kids through the pantry, the Walt, the end of the first Walton grant. So, a hundred families that answered their parent survey. We sent home summer kits that have bingo
012cards for and then all the supplies needed to complete the bingo card are in the kit that we mailed home. So, we're super excited. It also sends them to things like the pantry to sign up for the back to school bash. So, connecting all the summer services that are around or also included in that kit that went home. So, and deliveries for the pantry or what day? Tuesdays are deliveries and Thursdays are pantry. So, any volunteers just text me and or email me and I will definitely sign you From what time to what time for the pantry? The delivery is about 9:00 a.m. and it took us we there were four of us and I spent about an hour but I know they stayed there about two and a half hours restocking unloading the pallets.
013They come wrap the pallet so we take the pallet that and then deliver or then families pick up on Thursday. What time? Um it starts at 8:00 but we really open the doors about 7:45 because people are lined up. Okay, but we had a steady stream. We we adjusted our hours sorry from 8:00 to noon for the summer and we we really liked that turnaround was okay. Yeah. Camps. Um we've had several camps go on so far this year. They're alltime highs in attendance. Um I'd say we were probably coaching these different time kids in basketball. 226. Yeah. I think we're right at 250 for coach Cook in football. Coach Wade and track were at like the 140 150 mark. So, tons of kids participating which is outstanding. And then we have volleyball and cheer
014up coming that is coming up I believe next week. Okay. And so excited about that as well. Um we have started Miss Taber has started professional development with teachers. Um of course the first day of school is August 15th. The week before that is um PD for our teachers. We have our teachers going to solution no PLC conference um my solutions tree um right after the 4th of July. There's about 40 or to 50 of us going there. So we're excited about that so we can um align as a district on how we're doing things on K K12. So it's exciting. Awesome. And then next week we have our runoff election. Yes ma'am. So we're going to have a full full school board soon. It won't be just me John and Jessica you have to
015listen to. Absolutely. And early voting started on that already. It started Tuesday and I believe it ends Monday, I believe. And I believe the only place to vote is at the courthouse, I believe. Okay. I have a lot of beliefs right there. I want to grab my phone right now. Look. All right. And that's all I have. Says public comments. Oh, guess ma'am. That's that's on there. That's at your discretion. Okay. Nothing there. All right. So with that, I'll listen. You going to make a recommendation or can we just motion? Let's a motion to adjurnn. A second and a second. All in favor? 7:14.
