Um that is someone who I send to the to the um to Desi and they give you all the updates on legislative updates. I don't see that being a big deal this year because there's it's you know next year's an odd number year. The session won't be as intense as as this year. So it starts in kind of January, February when they go into session and goes through March, but to be full transparency. I get the emails as well and I send them out

009to everyone. We just have to have someone on the list to to do that. Okay. So Adam used to be the leazison. So Ryan, you good with that one? I Yeah. I mean, I don't think it's my day one. No, I It's an email. You forward it out to everybody. Okay. That's all. I don't And most of the time Keith sends it before we would ever get it from anybody else anyway. Yes, sir. No, I'm I'm just I want to make We all don't need to have a role. Like, we have someone not here and I didn't know if she needed to have a role. I don't mind to do whatever. I'll take on two roles. It uh it's it's fine. How however it goes. One person can have you can't you can't be one

010of the three offices. You can't be two of the three offices. You're not going to send me to Little Rock every week. No sir. Okay. I wouldn't do that to you. Or if you wanted to recommend Jessica, you could. You can recommend Jessica. I'm just throwing out people. Well, she's not here to speak for herself. So, uh I'll go ahead and Okay. suggest that I do it. You guys can move that or whatever. Okay. So, we have a recommendation of Brian. Do we have a motion? I'll make a motion. I'll second. Motion by Mindy, second by Sarah. Any further discussion? All in favor? Any opposed? Okay. Up next, excuse me. Up next under section 12, we have action items. We have school board meeting dates. every year during the June meeting we set we set

011our meeting dates um we all in the past we have always done the second Monday of the month and that's continuing with this if that's something y'all would rather not do we we can adjust those dates I did put 13 dates on here instead of 12 I would also like to go ahead and schedule one for July 31st 2023 um next month just to be personnel only because we're continuing the hiring season of our new teacher in services August 3 and 4 and that will give us opportunity to have another hiring session before we have new teacher or new new faculty move in service I think I was looking for those dates do you have those quickly available that you can throw up there I'm scrolling through the packet yes ma'am sorry right here. Okay.

012Give me a second. So, my only concern is because of school choice being having to the the deadline was May 1st, we approved those in June. However, because school ends in May and then sports and I know I'm thinking of sports right now at this moment, but I'm trying to think of what's best for the student. I don't mind. Can we can we do something? Um, I was I was as well. I don't mind having a special school board meeting toward the end of May. Okay. To do that, I I need more time to go through numbers. Then it ends on May 1st and go through the 13th. I have to wait for um if people um like traditional mail like US Postal Service mail in, I have to wait, you know, for postmark dates

013and all that. So, I didn't receive some until the 5th or the 6th, but they were postmarked, you know, before the first. It just takes a while. So, do we want to do a special or do we want to move the May one back? Um, how about we do this for May 13th. If I need to do a special month, we can we can keep it on the 13th. Okay. And but if I'm not The thing I always wait for is kindergarten numbers to be honest with you. I give as long as possible. So, um I would rather either put it on the 13th or call a special if they need to later on in May. And this May we called a special one, you know, for hiring purposes as well. So, I think we

014can probably do that. Work it in somewhere. Okay. All right. Clarify one more time. You said August 14th. That's our first day of school. It is. I don't like that. So, it's just going to be one of those days, right? Do we want to do that on the 14th or do we want to Yeah. Is that your pre y'all's preference is to have that on that day? Well, sure. The week before I'm doing inservice with with faculty and staff. Yeah. So the week after why don't you wait a week and we can do that. Um that's your call though. What do you think? We should if we do the 31st of July it gives us the hiring period. It's just if I have someone in between then to hire. I would like to do it

015as soon as possible. Okay. That's fine. We're good. If you're good to keep it with the 14th good and we'll my staff will be ready. All right. All right. I just wanted to make sure because I was going to ask the same question. The 14th is going to be busy. I'm good. Now, we could do the Tuesday if you wanted to or something like that and do that a little different. It's up to you. I'm fine with the Tuesday. Let's just leave it. Let's just leave it. I'm good. Okay. All right. So, we have those dates. Any further discussion? Is that your recommendation? Uh, yes, ma'am. With that, I'd like to make a recommendation that we approve the school board meeting dates for the 23 24 school year as presented. All right. So, we have

016a recommendation. Do we have a motion? Make a motion. Motion by John. Do we have a second? I'll second. Second by Ryan. Any further discussion? All in favor? Any opposed? Okay. Okay. Next is um policy changes to the um our policy changes for the 23 24 school year. Um you know every year we go through this. This was a lot more than a normal year with um legislative session with the learns act um with all the the additional acts that were in there. Everything that has been um put before you has is a requirement of an act or under the guidance of Arkansas School Board Association. So we haven't gone out on our own and created a a policy or anything to that without dating it and cross reference it with Arkansas code annotated our

017law any questions is this like the first reading of No sir we did first readings in Mara March. March. Okay. This is the final. Yes, sir. You're good. I apologize. I didn't get it. No, no, no. You're fine. I'm just making sure where we're at in the process. Any questions? Okay. With that, I'd like to make the recommendation that we approve the policies as presented. So, we have a recommendation. Do we have a motion? I'll make a motion. Do we have a second? I'll second. Second by Sarah. Any further discussion? Um, one one other question. So, I know we had talked about um the sports. I know that's not part of the ASBA. Well, it's not part of policy. It's a practice that we use in handbooks to approve. Okay. And we're going to look

018at that in Mr. We're going to approve handbooks in July. Okay. All right. That gives us some time to look at that and embed that as well. Perfect. Okay. So, all in favor? Any opposed? Okay. Next up is our light therapy services. We we contract outsource to them for OC and PT services. Uh Mr. I don't believe the rates have changed. Probably they went up maybe $2 $2 per hour with their um you know we use them use the rock to help us um with services that we cannot provide with the staff our current staff and and everything. You know the rates are fair. They're very competitive and everything and they they've done a good job for us. Is this part of the ones that we can source out with insurance too? Are these part

019of the services that Oh, yes, ma'am. You mean our Medicaid building? Yes, ma'am. We will services. Okay. And we've they've done good services. I don't know much about that side of it. They have. Okay. All right. Um, with that, I'd like to make the recommendation that we approve the MOU with Serat therapy services for the 2324 school year. All right. So, we have a motion. Do we have or recommendation? Do we have a motion? Motion. Motion by Sarah. Do we have a second? I'll second. Second by Ryan. Any further discussion? All in favor? Any opposed? All right. Out of state travel, next up is out of state travel. We have two students who have qualified to go to FCCLA National Champion Leadership the National Leadership Conference in Denver, Colorado. It's always during the odd time

020of the Fourth of July weekend. They do that every every year. I don't know why, but we have two students and we have Miss Jacobs and Miss Ivy, our our food and consumer science teachers. They'll be attending Miss Welsh Chaperoni. And so it's a one:1 ratio. That's as low as you can get. Um, you know, it's a I think one one of our students, Miss Conler, is um competing in sports nutrition and I cannot remember what Miss Lit what Miss Litfield is competing in, but it's a wonderful event for them and it's something they're passionate about. Awesome. Any questions? Just how did they have to compete? How did they earn this? Right. They do it through to the state level. Okay. At the state level, you qualify for the national level. Awesome. Well, congratulations to

021those ladies. All right. So, your recommendation with that, I'd like to make the recommendation for the out of state travel for July 1, 2023 through July 7, 20, 2023 as presented. All right. So, we have a recommendation. Do we have a motion? Motion. All right. Motion by Sarah. Do we have a second? Second. Second by John. Any further discussion? All in favor? Any opposed? Okay. Up next, we have school choice applications. I know we talked about this a little bit and I apologize for the delay, but we want to make sure that we can meet the needs of our community and everything. Um, at the back of this, you have the little pin mark on there as well. I noticed an error. Um, we have a total of 86 applications this year. Um, you know,

022but when you look at like kindergarten where are vast majority of our our kids are coming in at um right now we have a little over I thinkund a little over 100 between 100 and 105 that have enrolled. We can we can house 180 in kindergarten right now. So we have plenty of room. And when you look at the other the net gain and loss through there when you consider the students who are currently with us, you know, they may their parents may have purchased a home outside of the district during the school year. We did an agreement with Rogers or Bentonville or whatever for them to stay for the remainder of the year. They're already here. You take the students that are currently in here, the students that are transferring out and impacts actually

023minimal for us this year for a grade level. I think the most outside of kindergarten is first grade with six and sixth grade is six and we can we can handle the growth. We can handle the students and have capacity um at all grade levels. Yes sir. So the net the net differential is 53 and we have it's I think it's 54. We had one student who pulled their name out. Yes sir. So we have space and head count. Not we have physical space and we have t uh teacher load space as well. Can you expl I know sometimes I hear parents ask just for information sake when does the school choice kind of cap out just so well school choice there's two ways that it caps out students moving out a district is only

024required to allow 3% of their student population to transfer out. Um when you look at our transfer out numbers it's it's very small. Yes sir. It's very small um transferring you have to look at capacity and that's whether you can handle it through square footage wise you know classroom space and um with your teacher ratios um you know part of it is if you have to hire an additional teacher you know you have say you have an empty classroom you could you could deny as well um there's also a change in through rule through rules and regs in in the legislative session that um board of board transfers have to be considered each month now instead of just July and December. So I would anticipate that we will have board transfer requests um every month

025along with school choice that it's a May one deadline. Okay. We can't look ahead and anticipate growth and say well we can't accept you guys cuz we're going to get big, right? We have to take we have to take what we can take now, right? Yes. And it is it it's you know we are growing um and we'll see where we well well yeah I think my question was just to give like community members comfort in knowing that people who live in Pidge will always have space for them. We're not going to ever at any point not have space for the kids moving here. I guarantee your your um enrollment in P school live inside school district is your boundaries. I mean, you are guaranteed 100% that's any public school, right? Um, but I think

026you will start seeing more um more guidance from Desi on how school choice in the future works through the rules and racks committees. So, we I would anticipate it opening to be honest with you opening up more. Okay. And wasn't there also another change with school choice as far as sports? there that happens July 1st. I don't Mr. Ra some updates with the rules and policies AAA votes on their stuff in August. So So it's not finalized yet. They get they get the policy. Okay. And then they got about a month and a half to formulate their plan, write their rules, and then it gets voted on in what's called the general session. It's I think it's like August 1st or July 29th. since 13th July 1st to August. Okay. Then it'll come into So

027that won't come into play till August, right? Okay. Yeah. It's it's a delayed reaction. You know, you have legislative session. They they pass acts and laws and bills and all that good stuff. Ben Desi has to do rules and rags and all that and pass it down to us. So it's a delayed process. Okay. And how all that works. Perfect. All right. So any discussion on the school choice applications? All right, Mr. Martin. With that, I'd like to make the recommendation that we accept school choice applications for the 23 24 school year as presented. All right, so we have the recommendation. Do we have a motion? Make a motion. Motion by John. Do we have a second? I'll go ahead. Second by Sarah. A second to the All right. Any further discussion? All in favor?

028Any opposed? Okay. Up next is ourou with Northwest Arkansas Community College. Um this is the sameou that we've had for years or so. Our kids have concurrent are able to have concurrent the opportunity to take concurrent classes and enroll at NYAC while they're also a student here. Um they require you every year and we we always approve it. Are there fees changing? I think the only thing that is changing is it was in there. It was highlighted. It's a math lab fee. Um, where's the edge? What's that? There it is. There's a my my math lab that's $82.11 in 2023. And, um, I'll be honest with you, I'm not 100% sure what that is. Okay. So, um, they have that fee that's that's covered as well. So, 82 and some change and on top of

029the tuition piece. Tuition piece. $30. You know, it's it's the price that a child can do go through us and do concurrent creative stuff rather than a family go out on their own. Um it's it it's it's a huge advantage to go through this and help you. Absolutely. My kid did it and she's already a whole semester ahead. So, and then Sydney, she did it and she has an associates degree already. Crazy. Okay. All right. Um, and we're just going to make sure that the parents understand the fees that they go through that, sign off on it, and all that good stuff. Perfect. All right. Um, with that, I'd like to make a recommendation that we that we approve theou with Northwest Arkansas Community College for the 23 24 school year. All right. So, we

030have a recommendation. Do we have a motion? I'll make a motion. Do we have a second? Second. Second by Ryan. Any further discussion? All in favor? Any opposed? Um, last in SE. Last in section five is a request for additional special education staff beginning with the 23 24 school year. Um, what we have right now is we have um, Miss Couch. Yes, it's not Miss Marlo. It's Miss Couch. She's Miss Marlo. U Miss Couch. Um, she's a five school psychology specialist for us and a.5 special education teacher for us. What we're needing now with our growth and everything is we need a one FTE um school psychologist and a one FTE special education teacher. So what this is is while we technically have to ask for a.5 school psychologist and a.5 special education teacher, in

031reality we're going to have one full-time school um school psychology specialist and one full-time um special education teacher. Does that make sense? You're going to break it up? Yes, ma'am. Okay, makes sense to me. Any questions? Okay. All right. With that, I I'd request that you all approve the additional special education staff beginning on the 2324 school year. And that's one position, correct? It's only one FTE. One one FTE. Yes, ma'am. That's what I'm making sure. All right. So, we have a recommendation. Do we have a motion? Oh, Ryan's got it. Motion by Ryan. You want to second that, John? I'm a two. John's a second. All right. Any further discussion? All in favor? Any opposed? Okay. Up next, we have the purchase or renewal of school status. Um, we started school status last year.

032It is how we text, email, call all of our parents, everything. It's been very positive. It allows us to keep a record of, you know, phone conversations and everything. Um, it's it it's been very beneficial for us. Miss Meeks, I know at the high school it's helped a lot out here. I don't know if y'all want to talk about it a little bit, but it's just been so good. The parent has a phone number that's specific to them. It calls out to them and they can call in on and they know what it's who it is and everything. It's just Can you call or just text? You can call and email. Yeah. And like we can see when the teachers have called or text or emailed. So like if we're dealing with a discipline issue,

033we can see in here even if the teachers what they text so we know what parents already know. I did not know you could call. Parents are a lot nicer when they know you're recording. Well, I think in the age of where we are with smartphones and everything, it's it's how people communicate. Yeah. And it allows us to have a system that we can we can operate in. One thing that helped us a lot that day that the power went out, we could actually pull up the students and we could see um their schedule. So when parents were coming to check out, we didn't have any system to be able to verify the adult or who the kid was or where they were going or like what class they were in. And with through school

034stats, we were able to find them, verify the parent, and get them out safely. Awesome. Helpful. Okay. All right. Okay. With that, any other questions? Okay. And with that, I'd like to make the recommendation that we renew our purchase of School Status Pro in the amount of $23,617. All right. So, we have a recommendation. Do we have a motion? I'll motion. Motion by Sarah. Do we have a second? A second. Second by Ryan. Any further discussion? All in favor? Any opposed? Up next, we have Chromebook purchases. I know we purchased some either last month or the month before, but Chromebooks are what we do around here a lot. And um I don't know if y'all met Mr. Hand. He's back there in the yellow church. He's our new technology director. Welcome. We're excited to have

035him. He has been moving back and been moving on the weekends. You got big shoes to fill from Kellen. I'm just telling you. Um what we have here is the purchase of 430 Chromebooks. um the licenses and everything. Um and Mr. Hen, please stop me if you need to. Um what we have is our K2 campus. They are mainly Apple products or iPads and everything. And we're starting to transition them to Chromebooks and they have the touch screen on them. So they'll have those same features and everything. But one of the things that it's very important is to also have the keyboard for the child to start using and everything. you know, and um also those Apple devices are starting to age a little bit and it and buying three grades at once is a

036little bit, but that's okay. Um we can afford it and are we we're not using we're using our money we're using we're finishing up our ESRE funds for this and so out of we're out of co money and so it's not out of our general operating to get the kids what they need. Mr. hand. Would you like to add anything? You covered a lot of it. And the purchase is also carts, charging carts. Okay. The charging carts. Um, previous cards they use for iPads are too small for some which won't fit. Um, so we also plan to repurpose what iPads we can still use. This a couple years left. We'll certainly use them in some of those classrooms. Okay. Um, for like centers. Okay. audio will be used. But now is do we use technology

037in prek like the iPads or but not to the degree that we do in kindergarten. They have access to devices and whatnot. No, we're not. Okay. No. Okay. Is this a is this a bid? Competitive bid bas on tips. It's cooperative purchasing. It's who um it's it's it's who we've been using and I got you. Are the Chromebooks easier to keep up with and replace and fix and repair than the Apple products? Absolutely. Okay. So, it's an investment, but it's going to be something that we can repair ourselves for future use. It's not even closed. Okay. I figured, but again, question asking questions for the general public who are watching the video. All right. Um, with that, um, I'd like to make the recommendation that we purchase Chromebooks from DCW in the amount of 1681

038168,59614. All right. So, we have a recommendation. Do we have a motion? I'll make a motion. Motion by Ryan. Do we have a second? Second. Second by John. Any further discussion? All in favor? Up next is um curriculum purchase. Uh Miss Taber is on vacation. I hope she's enjoying Colorado right now. But um one of the things our our intermediate school has has been doing is studying science curriculum for the past for the past year. Um you know science is is starting to become a tested area and we are wanting to provide a guaranteed viable curriculum starting at that age. you know, we had um all all of these resources have been viewed um by our our teachers and instructional leaders and make to ensure that they align with um with standards. And we also

039let our teachers use I believe three different companies of curriculum and our teachers were by far in favor of this and so were the students who received it. And is this just going to be at the intermediate school? Yes, ma'am. We are starting at the intermediate for the 23 24 school year. will be vetting grades five through I believe in course through biology um for that curriculum as well. So we're kind of doing chunks but next year it will be five through biology. Okay. Right now we have Kesler Science K or 58 and we were we looked at Amplify to go ahead but we decided to keep Kesler because we were upping and seeing good results with our standards um and spending some more time next year to look at really how it transitions to

040middle school and junior high to make sure it's having more of the hands-on and some of the things to get them ready for biology and all those things. So how is this what did you call it? the amplified amplified. How is that going to feed in if she's using Kesler? Does it does it Well, that's why we have to take a year with 58 to make sure that we do get curriculum that feeds in. It may very well be that we can amplify for grades 5 through eight. But for this next year, how is that going to feed in? It is the same standards. It's the Oh, I see. Sorry, I didn't ask it very well. The NGSS standards is what third grade will teach for third grade, fourth grade, fifth grade, sixth grade, all

041the way up. We teach those. Okay. I just wanted to make sure it fed in and prepared them and that the major investment in here is the hands-on material.
