I'll make a motion. All right. Motion by Mindy. Second. I'll make a second. Or I'll second. I thought you I thought you were second. Second. All right. All in favor? Yep. Is that a vote? Up next is hiring. We have one. I would like to make the recommendation that we hire Jordan Pal for the high school instruction position. Okay. Have a recommendation. Do we have a motion? I'll make a motion. Motion by Ryan. I'll second. Second by Mindy. All in favor? None opposed.
002Um up next we have renewal of our administrator director and coordinator contracts. Um you know before we do that the work that this this group of people that they do day in day out is remarkable. They make an impact every day on our kids and in our community and I can't be more proud of the work they are doing. um last month y'all were kind enough to renew my contract and I I see no reason why I should the work they do is is commendable and moving forward with them. Are there any questions? Well, guys, thank you very much for all you're doing for the school district. Absolutely. The growth and it we appreciate y'all. Yeah, very much. And with that, I'd like to make the recommendation that we approve um that we renew the
003contract for the 2526 school year as presented. Okay, we have the recommendation. Do we have a motion? A motion. Motion by Eric. Second. I second. Second by Ryan. All in favor? Thank you all. Up next, we have a couple of positions. The first one is for actually this year and it is the mentor teacher staff and index is for remainder this year. It is a $1,500 onetime stipen for someone who successfully completes the lead special educator pathway in l of your designation. Miss paper I believe we have one two this year. We have three who are currently in the training. Okay. um and one who has completed it. And also to approve a.5 index annually for maintaining the lead professional educator pathway designation. So $1,500 for getting it, a.5 index for maintaining it, and then
004a 2% index annually for each aspiring teacher that they mentor. Um, so it' be around that $1,000 to $1,200, you know, 2% depending on where you fall on the salary schedule to mentor the teacher. Um, these people deserve this is important work and they need to be compensated for their time. Is there a cost to maintain once they No, once the destination goes on. Right now, um, the state just started the destination a few years ago. um but so they could add supplemental training along the way. So we want to continue that. We also want to continue to honor their experience that they would be able to provide in the event that they didn't have a mentor or a mentee to to work that we can still utilize their expertise other ways to do that.
005Okay. Any other questions? Okay. With that, I'd like to make the recommendation to approve the mentor teacher staff and indexes as presented for the 2425 school year. All right, we have a recommendation. Do we have a motion? I'll motion. Motion by Mindy. Second. I'll second. All in favor? Not a post. All right. Up next, we have additional staff positions for the 256 school year. And this is the experienced mentor teacher license. And that will be a $200 time successful completion of a DES recognized coaching program and a 1% index annually for each novice teacher that they will be working with. So um that will be next year. Okay. And the next one is a art teacher um to help alleviate some of the project, you know, sharing staff that will help us with that and
006to free up some time at our our lower level buildings as well. So, we're looking forward to hopefully y'all approving that. Are there any questions? Okay. And up next is Miss Sparkfeld's work u with our walk family foundation. You want to talk about it? Sure. So, we are asking for um some grant funded um opportunities that were written in the budget proposal. We were awarded the grant. So, this is all fully funded through the grant for a two-year cycle. Um a grant manager depending on their experience, 70 to 75,000 per year for two years. As well as we learned um we needed some contacts at the campuses focus of grants middle leveling prize, a two $5,000 one for each building. and then assignment for a district lead. When you hire a grant manager, we found
007we really needed that district connection. So, if we hire someone that's maybe not from within but needs those connections, a lot of the work and the things written in the grant happened in the summer and after hours. So, that's why I wanted to go with the staff route to give that to um our current employees that have a passion for college and career exploration. Um these also in a budget proposal um included benefits as well. So for two years, the district will be fully funded these positions through the grant through the Walton grant that we already have, the one that we were just awarded. So I wrote it off our fiscal year, but we won't do the positions for the next two school years, but we already given our first payment and that and I
008know Miss Smartfell doesn't say this very much, but I believe he has raised were you about 1.6 Six 1.7 million over the past few years. That's awesome. That's a lot of money. Yeah. Yes, sir. Good job. Keep getting it. Just go get it. Yeah. What are you doing here? Go get Go get money. Very very well. Well done. Are there any questions? Okay. And with that, I'd like to make the recommendation to approve the additional staff positions, indexes, and presented for the 2526 year. All right, we have a recommendation. Do we have a motion? Okay, I will second. Brian second. All in favor? None opposed. Mindy, I motion to adjurnn. I second. All in favor? Oh, yes. Thank you. Thank you.
