001All right, welcome everyone to the May 13th uh school board meeting. If you would, let's stand and do the pledge of allegiance. 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. And now moment of silence. Amen. All right, Mr. Martin. All right, we are going to get off script a little bit. We have some special visitors today. Uh, we have M. Dr. Mike Hernandez from AADA.

002and staff. My name is Dr. Michael Hernandez. I'm the executive director of the Arkansas Association of Educational Administrators and we're here today to present an award. And so we're here to present the Arkansas Association Career and Technical Education Administrator uh of the year award. And this award is given out yearly to what is identified by um our state delegation of of members that say this is the best career technical administrator in the state of Arkansas. So, we had a number of applications and I know Miss Ox will talk a little bit about that, but we're here to present this to Miss Ann Markfield. I do want to read a little bit about what a few people that worked on this. So, it says, "Anne Markfield is a force of service, excellence, and kind joy. She

003has used that to inspire others, elevate program, schools, and the entire school brands. She has led the way to celebrate career and technical education in the state of Arkansas for many years. And so that was one of her co-workers or past co-workers that said that about her. So we're very excited to uh present this award and I'll let you say things that you want to. So Ann, we're so thankful to have you in CTE and we're so thankful to give you this award. So please come on up and accept your award. You can't see me. Okay. Here. I'll make my water cuz it's pretty bright. Get that. Okay. Let's get Let's give family and then we'll get the school. My dad was a CT teacher. All right, girls. You ready? [Music] Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah, [Music]

004I got to save my hand. Can I have I save my hand? [Music] I want to be close to the board. All right. Is everyone ready? All right. Thank you. Awesome. list of stuff to do. But one day, that's great. Thank you. He wants to say Well, very much a congratulations, Ann. Thank you so much. Congratulations. That's awesome. It's not a life. You don't know, right? I saw a girl and I was like, "Oh, no." All right, Mr. Martin. All right. First on the on our agenda is our consent agenda. Are there any questions about the consent agenda? I don't think so. And with that, I'd like to make the recommendation that the consent agenda, financial report, and board minutes of the regular board meeting held on April 8, 2024 be approved as submitted. All

005right. We have recommendation. Do we have a motion? I'll motion. All right. Motion. Do we have a second? I'll second it. All right. Second by Sarah. Did you get it? Yes, sir. Oh, okay. Okay. All right. All in favor? Thanks. I thought you were like looking at me like who's who's this? I was like I can say it again. All right. Up next we have student achievement success. It is the the high school going talk about ACT scores and important events important events coming up this week. So I'm giving you guys an invitation. I think you guys have most of this stuff electronic. M has given you. Thank you. Kind of our graduation timeline again. I think I sent this. Um can we start with our ACT? I just didn't want to have that. Yeah,

006sure. Um so we had our we have uh we have our scheduled faculty meetings that usually happen um on the same night that we have our board meeting. We got to deliver this to our staff today uh which was really exciting um that we get to celebrate some things and uh I thought it was really cool that we have uh made a large jump in our ACT scores. So if you'll look and notice we've made about a one point jump across the board um but also within our composite score. Uh Mr. Martin if you go to the next slide you'll see kind of a little bit better visual of it. Um but basically we have we're beating the state average across the board now. Um which is really good for us, really good for our

007students, but I think more importantly, uh some things to think about are that this moves a lot of our student body from an 18 to a 19. And that is big for some of our families because what it does is it puts them in the in the um Arkansas letter Arkansas scholarship lottery and gives them the ability to have financial aid and provide them u with resources they normally wouldn't have. So super cool uh for our students um gives them access to things they normally wouldn't have access to. Um, Miss M, do you want to talk real quick on kind of the value of what they get as far as the scholarship goes? So, whenever you have a 19th as your minimum score, your super sporting like that, you actually qualify for the Arkansas Challenge

008Scholarship, which actually at a four-year school gives you $14,000 in your pocket over the course of four years. You go to a two-year school, it's a $4,000 scholarship. That's huge for our families. So, really proud of the students and the teachers that put in all the hard work for this. That's great. So again, just really excited for for our schools to see us moving in the right direction. Um and uh looking forward for that for years to come. That's great. Thanks, guys. Next up is it's that time of year, right? Um we are we are slowly trying to to come into the runway and land the plane. And uh you can see some of our events have already taken place. Um, I know most of you guys knew some of these that that had happened,

009but something to point out is our senior breakfast has already happened. Um, our culinary department did a phenomenal job, which again, um, I don't know if you guys see it or not, but they are in the background of a lot of our events. Um, even some of the small events we have in our hospitality room, um, all the way down to graduation day. We're going to have like grab and go cups for you guys when you get there. Um but just they they've done a really good job and it is uh feels highly studentled and it's really cool to see. So uh kudos to them. We had a 3 ceremony following our senior breakfast uh where we got to hand out uh to our seniors a lot of their um graduation accomplishments. So some of

010their cords, stol completer medals. Um, so really cool and exciting for students to get to wear that uh or or to receive that and uh moving forward into our scholarship night um is where they actually get to to wear some of that. Um so we have our scholarship night coming up this Thursday. It will be at 6:00 p.m. Um you guys are more than welcome to attend. Um it is by invitation only as far as our students go. Uh but it's it's a really exciting time to celebrate uh not only the scholarships they're receiving um from colleges but also local local scholarships uh within the community as well. So really excited for that. Um we also have obviously after that we have following uh graduation which will be on Saturday at 2:00. Uh we would

011love to have you guys there at 1:30 um just so we can kind of briefly talk about what that looks like on the stage for us. But um like I said, we'll have kind of grab and go for us to make it through the 30 minutes until we start. Any questions? It's great. Thanks. No, it's great. Thank you guys. All right. Up next, we go into action items and we have school board meeting dates for the 20. That's supposed to be 2425 school year apologies for the 2425 school year. I did correct. Okay, sorry. We're good. We're good on ours. Yeah, um we traditionally we have done the second Monday of every month. That is the same except for July. July will be I would like to do the third the third Monday of the

012month just to make the 15th because that's the 4th of July before we'll have a lot of staff um hopefully us not here that week. So um so that we can do that. Are there any questions on that? Okay, with that I'd like to make the recommendation that we approve the 24 to 25 school year board of directors meeting dates as presented. All right, we have a recommendation. Do we have a motion? I'll make a motion. All right, motion by Mindy. Second. Second by Ryan. All in favor? All opposed? All right. Up next is our with our SRO. Last year, um I'm sorry, this year we went to um five SRO. We would like to continue that. I believe it is a 3% increase or about $8,000. Brings us up to $283,000 um dollars and

013everything. and our community is is very appreciative of us having SRO's on campus and I know our our faculty and staff and parents are as well. So, are there any questions? Contracts exactly the same 500 hours of um event coverage or overtime coverage built into it as well. That's probably what we use every year. Um it's quite a bit when you start adding everything up and everything. So, that's that's the end. Okay. All right. Any questions? All right. With that, I'd like to make the recommendation that we approve the SRO contractor city of P Ridge for the 2425 school year. All right. Have a recommendation. Do we have a motion? I'll make a motion as presented. All right. Ryan motion. Second. I'll second. Second by Jessica. Any questions? All in favor? Any opposed? All right.

014Up next is school choice. Um, this year we have 63 applicants, which is down from previous years. Um, usually we're in the mid 80s. Um, we have room for everyone. I believe I shared with y'all the commissioner's memo from either last week or the week before where they redefine capacity. And even with if y'all approve if y'all do not approve the third and sixth grade position that we'll be doing later on, we still have room. It's we're just at that cusp. So, we have 56 I'm sorry, 36 63 in a little here. 63 applications. When we do the um ones who are currently in the district already and ones that are um kids that are also moving out, it's a net gain of 56 kids. So, it's well below below our normal, but I think

015traffic is starting to have a little bit to do with that. Sure. Um coming into P Ridge is not as convenient as it used to be. Yeah, good. Are there any any questions? We just need to make sure that if any of them play sports that we get all the paperwork turned in appropriately so we don't have anybody not qualified. Just come back while we're we're in May. I believe they have everything turned in by July one and that gives them more time to do that because I believe July one is a it's not our date. It is a very hard date to say. Yep. Is that qu So with the new definition of capacity like we have we not that we don't want to take them but we don't have an option to not

016legally we have to correct correct the new definition is taking someone have to make you go over standards and we're not at that point. All right. Any other questions? With that I would like to make the recommendation that we approve the school choice applications for the 2425 school year as presented. All right. We have a recommendation. And do we have a motion? I'll motion. All right. Sarah second. I'll second. Mindy second. All in favor? None opposed. All right. And up next we have board transfers. Um we have one request to transfer out um for the remainder of this year. And so with that, I'd like to make a recommendation that we um approve the board transfers as presented. All right. We have a recommendation. Do we have a motion? I'll motion. Do we have a

017second? I'll second. Ryan second. All in favor? Not opposed. Now it's purchasing. Um, you know, every year this time we bring a lot of requests for purchasing. Um, the first request is a school bus school bus purchase. This is a 41 passenger bus that will be used to open up the special education route. It is identical to the buses that we purchasing capacity except for specking out a higher um weight range of a lift because we're having students the motorized wheelchairs and then they have to pay for this not out of general operating but out of special cat. So it does not affect our budget at all. Okay. Any questions? With that, I'd like to make the recommendation that we purchase a school bus from Thomasville buses in the amount of Give me just a

018second. $137,674. All right, we have a recommendation. Do we have a motion? I'll motion. Sarah motion. Do we have a second? I'll second. Second by Jessica. All in favor? Any opposed?

You know, it's our oldest building. Um to continue that process. Um that comes in at $55,74.17. Um it's furniture identical to what we've been purchasing. The only thing is with everything else, it's gone up a little bit in price and everything. The second bid is for six cafeteria tables to replace a few at the middle school for a cost of $26,795. And the third request is where the old superintendent's

019office used to be um on the east end of the junior high. um replacing the furniture in there and taking that furniture and repurpose repurposing it um easy for you to say. And um throughout the district and it comes at a cost of $37,8518, which brings a total furniture request to $118,95418 furniture they're parts of purchasing. Right. All right. Any questions?

How far does that go? Does that turn the corner and go towards the football field? No, it stop right there. We did we did it in phases. Okay. This year phase one, next year phase two, phase three. And so just to be called just literally what's in front of the building just in front of the building. Okay. Right now we have three spots in front of the building that are Yeah. Yes. Oh yeah. Yeah.

Our next paving project is at the corner of Weston and Mala to increase capacity of our car rider line. What we're working on is partnering with the city to get our traffic for the first and second grade car rider line off of Weston Street traffic. Um with this um what we will

022what I'm going to do is we're just paying for the the top surface of it. The city is going to put in the base and the the dirt work p part of so we can split the project together because it helps it benefits them as well. And this will take it out where it will still come out at the corner of Mala and Weston. But what we're going to do is we're going to have two l basically two lanes going in and one lane coming out so that we can stack more cars on our property. Got it. Instead of stacking them in the in the turn lanes because at the corner of Hazelton and we're backing up past Hazel and Weston and it's causing a safety issue for the cars being able to go across.

023I think they've had more than one or two there. I see it. Thanks. Yep. All right. We will be paying for the basically black top only the city's going to start working. Okay. Okay.

It's because we're growing and providing more services for our students. It's discontinuing our membership with the guide co-op for CTE services. At our last board meeting, y'all approved the CTE director and

024SL communications director. This person will help lead the charge. Of course, with Miss Smartfell, Maber and Mr. Ogden and making sure that we're providing the very best we can for our kids and everything. And so with that, we technically have to have a um recommendation and approval from y'all to discontinue service from that co-op. Got Victor co-op. Miss Turner is 100% supportive of it and she's actually excited for us so that we can continue to grow. Okay. Any questions? All right.

026kids can have um you know, we can take the current credit. I think if you were at our three ceremony, we had a lot of kids stood up, you know, for college credit and everything. So, it's a really good thing. The only thing is it's going up $5 a class and that's okay. But um other than that, everything's exactly the same. Okay. Thought it was remarkable that there were three of them that are graduating with their associates today. Associates. Yeah. I was like, yeah, it's amazing. That was awesome. And I think your child's one. She did. She graduated today. So, absolutely.

That's we can we can go. All right. First is approving additional staff for the 2425 school year. We have four full-time positions that we're wanting to get approval for. The first one's our athletic trainer. Um, Northwest Hospital um has notified us that they cannot provide a trainer for next year and so we have um we have brought we're trying to bring that in in house. We have a recommendation for you tonight. Yep. If if if it's approved for the simple reason is we need to move quickly on that so that our kids um aren't without aren't without that

035service and everything. Um, it's a 225 day contract on the teacher scale with a 5% index to cover up. When does the Northwest When is that Northwest contract end? I believe they'll be here through that week. Through through that until that week is last 28. Gotcha. So, with approval, we hope to have a little bit of overlap. Sure. Where we have Okay. And our next three are academic positions. um one is a third grade teacher, the other is sixth grade teacher to help us with book numbers. We're not at the point of meeting the maximum class size ratio, but we're on the cus bucket. And um to be honest with you, those two are grade levels where we see our most growth. Sure. Um sixth grade in particular is where we see a lot of

036growth with with kids and I'm transferring in and everything. And then third one is in the elementary assistant principal to go to a full-time assistant principal at the intermediate and a full-time assistant principal at the middle. All right. Any questions?

Up next, we have our program coordinator, St. In the past, those have been $1,400. We'd like to increase those to $3,500. This will put them and off scale with our district coordinator positions

037and everything for this time in the work that we are asking from them is substantial. So, we feel that the is more than fair. And then on the other part, our more athletic oriented, we need help running the concession stands and someone who's coordinating that and not have the band have someone coordinating athletics having someone coordinating. And so this will allow us to pay someone that could be um you know have a fall concession coordinator which will cover volleyball, football basically the winter which will cover um basketball.

And in the spring concession coordinators, baseball, softball, track, and 2500 for the fall, 2500 for winter, and 1,250 for

038the spring. This person will be responsible for inventorying, making sure that workers are trained, you know, being there, being responsible for making sure our concession stands running smoothly because we do it based off of volunteers, right? Not volunteers. Do we do we foresee it being the same person for all three? It could be. Okay. It could be, but to be honest with the same person for all three, that's a tremendous amount of commitment for for one year. So, yes, ma'am. It could be, but it could also be three. Okay. How will the position be filled? Will it be a staff member like someone who works through the school or will it be like a parent? I was just We'll work with Mr. Craig, our director. Mhm. Okay. Gotcha. We did it in a manner where

039it could be certified, classified anybody within our school district. Okay. So, someone would apply just like for any other role. Okay. Okay. Is this something that other surrounding districts do as far as the stipen and are these amounts kind of in line with that for a tremendous commitment? Yes, sir. Okay. Working your heart as well. just sounds good. I definitely see this as a definite need. We have we struggle through each set season or concession stands participants. And please remember this is the coordinator. This is not all the workers. Yes. Absolutely. The workers are volunteer based. All right. With that, I'd like to make a recommendation that we approve the stop as presented. All right. We have a recommendation. Do we have a motion? I'll motion. Motion by Sarah, second. I'll second. Second by Jessica.

So, we really appreciate her service cuz Connie is probably around 30 30 plus years and everything. Um, you know, Julie Ferguson is retiring. We're
