001Yeah, [Music] that's what I mean. Good evening. Welcome everyone. We're go ahead and start our board meeting for June the 2nd. We will um Um, go ahead and let Mr. Jim do the roll call, please. Colonel Estelle, Daniel Gray, a Cole here. Sorry. I'm present. I'm sorry. I have to wake her up. Jim Moore here. Ron McDaniel present. Dana Tony here. Lauren Martin here. Laura Walker here. All here but two. Okay. Thank you so much. I want to go ahead and read our vision. JMPSD will be the model district where every learner is valued and empowered to become a successful contributing member of society. Our mission JMPSD will foster a culture of ownership and accountability through partnerships that create multiple pathways for success. We'll go ahead and stand for a moment of silence and a
002pledge of allegiance. Please join me in the pledge of allegiance. I pledge algiance 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. Thank you. Looks like we have a special uh presentation today. Yes. Uh good evening board members. We have two uh special uh presentations. We'll like to first get started with Children's Protection Center. We have Miss Jennifer, Miss Terry, Miss Christian. Uh here seeing Jennifer Porton, Miss Christian. So all three of you, if you all can come up and they're going to give us an update on where they are since they've been in Jacksonville. So we wanted to share that with the board. We're like a trio. Do y'all sing before you present? Okay. Um
003I'm Jennifer, guys. I've been I'm in front of you a few times. Hopefully I've met you as well. I'm not wearing my contacts, so it's difficult to see folks tonight. kind of had an issue earlier, but um I just before Kristen gets up here and tells you about all the wonderful things um very specifically that's going on in Jacksonville with our center, I wanted to say thank you to you and give you an update on where we stand moving forward with our expansion. So um we have, you know, fully been embraced by this community and by the school district. There's no other center in this state and even in the southern region that has this kind of relationship and I can't understand why. This has been so good for the CPC to be embraced by
004the community and by the school district um and to use some space that wasn't being used. This has just been a wonderful partnership and we would not be able to serve the community the way we are if it hadn't been for you guys taking this stuff with us. Um, as you know, we finished phase one um, over a year ago. Um, and so it's on to phase two, and we are actively raising money for that phase. We've written some grants for the phase that's to build out what's on the other side. Um, what we're missing right now, um, is is the ability to do support groups at night, to have staff that actually have offices here. Um, we do always have staff that are in the space. Um, but it's crowded. Sometimes we're not able
005to provide perfectly safe atmospheres for kids if we have offenders on site. We didn't know that they were coming. So, there's a lot of good reasons for us to finish out that second part so we can offer all the services that we're able to do in Little Rock. So, we're trying to raise over a million dollars for that expansion right now. Um, and so that's involving some grant requests. Um, we're also working with community partners. There's a lot of uncertainty right now with federal grants that keep our staff providing services. Um, and we won't know a lot until the fall hits, but we have the potential of losing anywhere from 50,000 to 400,000 of our operating budget right now. And so, we're frantically trying to find ways to make that work. So, all that to
006say, we're not scared. We're going to keep doing it. We have a lot of community folks that are going to step out and help us. We have a lot of legislators and folks in the government that do care about the services we're offering. We're working with cities, too, to be able to make sure that we keep doing that. But because of that situation, there are some things that we're just taking a breath. And so this fall, we're going to find out a lot more about what we're going to be able to do from an operational standpoint, but that doesn't mean that we aren't still trying to raise money for that expansion. So that our eyes are still on that prize, too. Um, so there will be more to come on that and we'll let you
007guys know as that develops, but for now, I'm going to hand it over to Kristen. Kristen Thomas is our director of advocacy services at Children's Protection Center. She is um really taken on the leadership role for in the in the Jacksonville Center. So she's been creating community partnerships. Some of you guys have spoken to already, but she's going to give you all the information about all the wonderful things that we're able to do here in Jacksonville. So, thank you so much for this partnership. [Applause] Well, thank you guys for inviting us today. We're super excited to be here. Um, just wanted to share a little bit about what we're doing just on the other side of the building. Um, so we are fully operational right now. We're open Monday through Friday and of course we're
008on call whenever an emergency comes in. Um, and fully operational means that We have a friendly interviewer, we have family advocates, we have professionals all on site um almost pretty much all of the time unless there's extenduating circumstances in Little Rock that we all of our staff away. Um but that's pretty much what we look like over there for the main part Monday through Friday. Um Jennifer mentioned that our medical component component it was finished in December of 2024. So we are super excited about that. Um and we recognize that that has allowed us to serve much more kids than we participated. Um, so just a few numbers from April 1 of 2024 through April 1 of 2025, we served 189 kids just in that space alone. Um, and so 87 of those kids came
009from the zip code 72076. So that is right here in this community. 87 of those kids. Um, all which are pretty much all of y'all scholars here. So we are working with you guys closely every single day. All the counselors and the teachers um everyone that pretty much reaches out just to check on kids. So year to date we have seen 64 kids um and 30 of those kids are from the zip code specifically. So cases are coming, kids are being seen um and that increases our visibility but then it also increases the services that we're able to offer kids here in this community as well. Um just a little bit about what CPC has been doing in the community. Um, we are encouraging staff and myself, you guys will probably see me at pretty
010much all of the first Friday breakfast practices down at the chamber. Um, I've been making it a point to go to those. Those are really good networking opportunities. Um, but then also just encouraging staff to, you know, attend any city events, any school events, all of those things. Um, and then also Terry has hooked this up. We've been serving lunch to some of the football players when that request kind of goes out and stuff. Um, and then of course we are always open and willing to or counselors, anyone in the community that needs educating on child abuse, the system, and basically how to navigate the system. We're pretty much here for that as well. So, um I just want to say that we've gotten great buy in from the community. We have teachers stop by
011all the time just asking what's going on over here. This doesn't look the same. Um and we're welcoming everybody in with open arms. We give you a tour. We'll explain our services, but then also let you know how you can advocate for the kids in the community as well. So, that's what's been going on here. Terry, [Applause] before you uh start talking, Terry, I want to give kudos to Mr. Mark Bryant who gave me a tour a couple weeks ago. It's pretty awesome what you what you're doing over there and it's uh it's amazing for the community. Thank you. Thank you. Mark is our clinical services director. So, thank you very much. Um, as Jennifer mentioned, we know that some of our funding is um, we don't know what it looks like. And so, part
012of the ways that we make up that funding, I guess I should say who I am. I'm Terry Todd. I'm the development and marketing director for Children's Protection Center. If you don't know, I started out talking about money. So, money is my life. Um, but one of the things that I wanted to uh bring wrap it all up with is that we have unique fundraisers that we use for uh, uh, securing those dollars. And one of those coming up is the River City's Dragon Boat uh festival. You guys got a flyer in the back if you didn't get one. Um Jennifer is sharing one here, but you will be happy to know that since we have been involved with Jacksonville, again, the way we've been embraced, there has been a team from Jacksonville, the city
013of Jacksonville. If you don't know about it, they probably ask you to row or either they don't want you to row so they can win. Um but uh thanks so much to First Arkansas Bank of Trust and also Unity Health and to Lauren and Laura and Dr. O I guess everybody Daniel. Um we have a team uh from Jacksonville that's going to be one of our more almost 50 teams out um that will be out there this weekend and so it's free to the uh public. Last year we made about $220,000. We are shooting for 300,000 this year. I'm happy to say we're already at 160. Um, and that doesn't even include the pledges that are coming in. So, we're hoping by Saturday we reach that $300,000 goal. So, I just wanted to follow up
014and say, you know, you guys, we talk about money. Money, money is my life, and I love us getting money, but also you guys being ambassadors for CPC, for you guys going out in the community and talking about what we do. Those relationships are what's most uh valuable to us um because that keeps folks um coming back and understanding the mission as we go on. and when funding gets in jeopardy, it's important to have those relationships. Um, just like Mr. McDaniel said. And so, we appreciate you all. We thank the you for the support. It's more than just the money that you guys are giving us. It's all the things that all the resources and all the ways that you support CPC. So, thank you. Anybody have any questions about You got to mention the
015four-legged friend that you have over there. Yes. Simone is our facility dog. We raised enough money to have Simone. We hope to raise enough to get a second facility dog here, but she will be out at Dragon Boat if you would like to come see her. You can meet her. She'll be there Friday from 6:00 to 7:00 and on Saturday from 9:00 to 11:30. Simone is out here for a whole day last week, right? We had lots. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Our second presentation is coming from our department of special education. Mrs. Christy Darington while he gets hooked up. I'll give a plug to CPC because I was on the side of the road Labor Day Friday and I called Mark Bryant saying the sheriff can't get
016a hold of anybody from DHS and we have an abandoned child and we can't get the parent and we finally got the parent who was passed out um intoxicating and Mark helped us get DHS for the sheriff so that we could get that child and I have a relationship with Mark Bryant from previous contacts. But he stepped out of his zone and helped us help that scholar. So he's always a phone call away. But Simone comes to visit me and I sit in my office. She's therapeutic for adults, too. Even though I'm highly allergic, I just run and wash my hands because I have to know it doesn't matter. While you're finding that, I would like to have the phone number of the guy you're talking about because when I'm out driving around, sometimes I
017see things that I need to get someone to check on this child. So, I need a phone number. Oh, thank you. Ask and you show receipts. Okay. I decided to share some of the extra things that we've done at special education because when the principles share their data now that we're full inclusion in Jacksonville, you get to see what the special ed scholars are doing because they're fully engrossed in the gened classroom. Um except for the ones that I'm going to highlight here and these are our um severe profound self-contained scholars. So just going to end the year with a little bit of fun. So, we competed in Special Olympics track and field on April the 23rd. I couldn't put all my pictures in here because there's a ton of them. If anybody wants access,
018we do have a Google album, but this was at Mills University Studies High School. I think next year we do have a shot to move this to Jacksonville High School. We've been asking, I know last year you asked, this was their last year to have a contract in county. So, I am still working on that. I know some board members asked and we do have the facility for that. So I know that Dr. O was interested. We are all interested. Um so fingers crossed make the contacts. Um but our medals we had 11 scholars get gold in bowling, 10 in 10 get silver, four get bronze, four take fourth place and two take fifth grade fifth place. And this is in state bowling for all across the state. And in track and field, um, and
019for region, we had 19 get gold medals, 15 get silver medals, 14 get bronze medals, 12 get fourth place, three get fifth place, and one get sixth place. If you've never been to a Special Olympics event, if we do get this here next year for track and field, please come out. It is so entertaining. I do have to share that we have a scholar at the high school that is blind, uses a cane, and he took first place in his track and which was running and I was jumping up and down on the sidelines and almost forgot to take his picture because I was in shock but he outran his group. It was fascinating. Um this year we brought back the ready to work program at the high school which is a program that first,
020second and third nine weeks they learn the soft skills for working and then fourth nine weeks they go to work. We work with um the department of ed and these scholars are paid through them and then they go out into the community. These are the only pictures we had because the people their job coaches didn't think to take pictures but at the um animal shelter the lady did think to take some pictures of our scholars. So they're out earning a wage during the week at a job and these jobs could turn into jobs for them after high school. Um and we had partnerships with Crane Ford, the Animal Shelter, North of the Rock Barbecue was shortlived, but Unity Health and Classic Care Creations. We're only limited by the jobs that are close to the high
021school because of transportation. So, I'm going to just put a plug if anybody knows sites that are really close to the high school that we can get to pretty quickly because we only do it the last class period of the day. Um, it is to the employer. Um the program we work with is the one that provides the pay for the scholars, but we work with them on um finances and interview skills and all of that up until the point and it's open to juniors and seniors next year. So we're looking for more job sites and too fast. And then we also work real hard if um any of you that come to the banquetss especially at the middle school and then the high school we do it after. If you go to the banquetss
022where you get food that is approved by Clint Walker in advance as part of our instructional monies, this is just a picture of how we the scholars do shop. They plan, they shop, and then they prepare the meals that you um may partake in. And so I just wanted to show you that this is them in action at Walmart where you can take them and they do all of that for you all before they cook the meals. And then some other for um fun that we did, um Miss Martin put a thing on Facebook around Valentine's Day that she was looking for some extra people to make deliveries. And so I said, "Hey, what if you can't pay us, but she was nice enough to donate to her activity fund." And our middle school scholars
023went out and delivered flowers on Valentine's Day. And I'm telling you, they had so much fun. I just lost my connection, but that was my last slide. They went out and delivered So, they got to practice those skills of asking for a person, saying, "I have a delivery for you." And off the record, they might have gotten paid sh. That's just some of the fun things we do with our our kids that don't show up in our testing scores, but they're learning a lot of skills. Any questions for me? [Applause] That concludes all the special presentations facilities report. Do not see anybody here. Okay. leg. Uh, currently we're waiting on the plaques to be done and so right now we're in a holding pattern and then have an update in July. Superintendence report. A couple
024of things. Uh, legal transfer approvals. We had three this month. Uh, two to Rono, one to Cavitt. Um, but we also want to highlight uh as we conclude uh this school year uh on Friday, we had over 140 certifications uh that our students achieved uh at the high school. Uh zero testing violations during this season of testing and um also wanted to share with you I did receive the certified report from the Clask County uh office that election results have been certified. So uh Mrs. Mark, Mrs. Mr. Moore, you're approved and certified. And now you got this one in. Yes. Um and just uh I did send you all the new u election cycle based on the new law, Act 503. And so we'll make sure that we continue to keep you current and a
025breast of those new changes as we move forward uh in accordance to that law. That's all I have. Okay. TPC reports. Thanks, Miss Davis. Hello everyone. Hello. Ours is the classified personnel sickly exemption. Does everybody have it? It's in It's in my folders. It's in my drawer. It's in your The next Okay. Currently the classified employees get $50 for all days above the 90day limit and once they retire when they have three to five years of service in Jacksonville uh school district they get 25% of the $50 pay rate and it goes six to 10 or 50% 11 to 15 for 75% and more than 15 years they get 100% which is $50 per day and Classified staff on an hourly rate get $6.25 per hour pay rate, but it's prrated. They get $156 per
026hour for 3 to five years, $312 for 6 to 10 years and so on and so on up to 100% uh for 15 years or more $6.25. Now, uh, what we're proposing to align with the teachers is for the classified to get the current cost of a substitute for a pair of professional. We don't want to put a dollar amount in because it fluctuates every year. It could go up, it could go down. Um, this the previous one was done in 2020. So, it's been five years. and the cost of living adjustments, the raises that we've gotten, and um we just haven't had a an increase in how much money they get. And I think right now it's maybe $75 a day instead of the $50 a day is what it would be. Um I
027think it would save the district money also because the people that are thinking about retiring or using demon or sickly, they said they would rather call out so they could get use that time and if they call out, you have to get a sub and you have to pay them, too. So, we were really just hoping to uh to change it to the current cost of a substitute care professional to align with the teachers. And I think the teachers went from $75 in 2020 to $95 now. So theirs went up. Members, if I can add that we internally at the district office, we reviewed this request. And as uh Miss Davis has said for us, uh it's definitely a benefit uh always a benefit uh to have our our own staff members in front of
028our our students each and every day. If we can keep them here healthy uh and in front of our students, that's going to have a positive impact. And as Miss Davis said, we uh did adjust that with the licensed staff members and and we felt that uh that we needed to support and should support uh our classified in this step and encouraging them to uh if they don't have to take their sick leave uh then they shouldn't. And and we want them to be there with our young people as much as they can. So, district admin definitely supports this proposal. Do we take action on it tonight? You can, you have the option. You can take action tonight or you can uh just review it and then take action in July. I would like to
029review this a little further because I didn't get the material until a little late. And if it's not going to harm anything, if we can take bring it up in July, it's not going to take effect until the start of school year. Well, it will take effect July 1st. Uh if so, if you approve it today, it would take because this is uh a personnel policy classifi uh in section 8. And so it would um you approved it today taking effect uh July 1st. But if you wait until July, it will be effective the date that you approve it, which would possibly be the July 14th board meeting or as a board retroactive. Let's review it. Yeah, we'll take some time to review it and then we'll put it on the agenda for July. Okay.
030Thank you very much. You're welcome. Thank you so much. You said PPC is Mr. Martin talk on this life and name change. Do you need me to say anything? That's a um that's an action point. So right now uh that's it's later down in the agenda. So um it'll come up there. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. Action item. The consent agenda. Hopefully everybody's had an opportunity to review it. I entertain a motion. So move second. It's been moved and properly second. All in favor? Any opposed? Pass. 2526 school board meeting dates. Okay. Yes. Uh board members before you. You have the proposed school board meeting dates uh before you. I know that there needs to be one adjustment just per conversation with uh board members about July. Instead of July 7th, um it's been asked
031that we move that meeting date to July 14th. So, we want to make sure that you have that consideration as well. Since July 7th is the back end of the holiday weekend, uh but the rest of the dates are before you for your consideration with that revision. I make a motion to accept Dr. recommendation with the change with the change. Yeah. July 14th to July 14th. Second. Move the prop second. All in favor? I none oppose. It has passed. Okay. The um provision two base year. Yes. Each uh year uh we have the option to apply for provision two. Provision two as you all um may remember gives us the opportunity to provide breakfast and lunch at no cost for our uh students across the district. Uh the district identified student population for the SNAP
032program has increased from 42% to 52% with the addition of including Medicaid free to the equation. We were still short the 70% goal for the district. Uh and so we recommend that we reapply for another base year provision two to see if we can achieve our goal to 70% with the addition of approved applications that are approved for free or reduced. So our recommendation is to approve implementation of the provision 2 program so that we can work toward receiving that 70% goal. I got a question. Do I need to make a motion to approve and then ask a question? Yes, you can make a motion and get a second and then provide make a motion to approve the superintendent's recommendation. Second. Okay. question is, didn't the state legislature pass a law that uh free breakfast?
033That that is correct, Mr. McDaniel. So, we do have legislation that provides uh free breakfast for all students across the state. Uh so, this will cover then uh the lunch uh portion of it. Uh and so, again, we're working to get to 70%. And just FYI for the board members and the community who are listening, that 70% is going to be key for multiple funding streams. Uh because if we don't uh because we didn't reach the 70% uh this past year, we've lost uh a little over well a lot over about $1.7 million in enhanced student achievement funding. And so our goal is to uh try to get more parents to complete these applications and and and get these 70% so that we don't lose another round of funding. So it has several benefits uh
034to making sure that we uh reach these uh numbers and so we want to make sure we continue to strive to get those numbers as we move forward. It's been moved and properly second. All in favor? I. Any opposed? Yes, pass vendor renewals. Uh, as you all remember, uh, each year we would need to bring these, um, resolutions to you. Uh, well, I'm I'm getting ahead of myself. I'm sorry. The first, uh, action item is renewing these vendor contracts for our child and nutrition program. You have three before you. Uh, the renewal of the Don Wholesale uh, company who provides our bread service. Highland Dairy who provides our milk products. uh to our students and then uh renewing the arch board co-op contract for all the purchasing service uh for child nutrition for the 2526
035school year. Um and the rationale is there before you. We've used these vendors before and would like to renew those contracts uh moving forward for this next FY26 school year. The recommendation is to approve these vendors for purchasing. Make a motion to approve the superintendent's recommendation for vendor renewals. Second. It's been moved and properly second. All in favor? I. Any oppos? And let's go ahead and move forward to our resolutions. Yes. uh as we did last year, we in accordance to annotated code 6-24-105, uh we want to continue to make sure that um our staff members as well as uh the students and uh the district as a whole continue to uh utilize our uh partners uh in the community, our vendors in the community even though even though they may serve uh the leaders
036may serve on the board. And so we have before you the resolutions to do business with these three companies uh Dun Wholesale Company, Jam Fabrication, Get a Grip, and Double R Flores. Uh we're asking the approval to continue based upon this law uh to continue to use those uh partners in the community uh for services. uh to a certain for jam fabrication get a grid of double off floors up to 9,999 and beyond that we will have to get um the approval from the secretary of education at the state department of education we know done wholesale will be uh more than that and so after whatever the vote is tonight we'll move forward to the next step to seek approval from the secretary of education uh for that I would u ask that We take
037each of these resolutions separate um because um the board member who may have a relationship or interest in these companies would need to recuse themselves from that particular vote when it comes to their entity. Okay. So we're going to go ahead and move with the first one. Don Wholesale Company. Can I get a motion? Yes. Okay. Make a motion to approve the superintendent's recommendation for Don Wholesale Company resolution. Second. There's a move and properly sec properly second. All in favor? I. Any opposed? That's so the next one is going to be Jation. Make a motion to approve the resolution for jam fabrication slash get agrip. Second. It's been moved and properly second. Properly second. All in favor? I. Any oppose? Okay, that's passed. The next one is double R floor Flores. Make a motion to
038approve the certain superintendent recommendation for double R floors resolution. It's been moved and properly second. All in favor? I. Any opposed? Okay, that is pass. Okay, we'll go ahead and move on to the ASBA model policies. Yes. Yeah, we're they're good. We're here. Everybody's here. Okay. So, as we um all know that we've concluded the 2025 legislative session and with those uh we uh were given or uh more legislation was passed and of course that led to more policies having to be put into place. So, those were shared with you at the beginning of May uh for your review. Um and there's a series of policy. So the first group we provided on this board agenda uh it included section one that dealt with the board and the board's operation. Uh section three that dealt
039with licensed personnel policy and section 8 that dealt with uh or deals with classified personnel policy. We presented those to you just for the timing of uh where we are because most of those would need to be put in place July 1st. And so um section one deals with how you operate. Section three of course deals with how uh the procedures that our licensed staff members follow and then classify I mean section 8 deals with how classified operates and of course the new contracts start July 1st and that's the reason why we put those on this board agenda. So the recommendation is to move forward. I would tell you that all the changes, all the revisions are inordinance to law and so it's really not an option to but if you all wanted to add
040to it as a board, you have that uh that leeway that that right to do so. So your recommendation is to approve Yes sir. approve the uh policies that have been presented to you. Section one, section three, section 8. Uh those revisions so moved. Second. It's been moved and properly second. All in favor? I. Any opposed? No. Okay. We have one N. That's passed. Um okay. Classified stipen addition. Yes. Um according um in accordance to what M Davis was alluding to the classified uh personnel policy committee uh reviewed the salary schedule um director of technology Mr. Kevin Martin uh shared input uh in the past we had stipens for certain certifications or license lenters for the technology team. uh we wanted to update those certifications for the current need that we have uh in the
041district and just in the profession technology profession realm as a whole. And so those have been updated in the stipen salary section of the salary schedule and so the recommendations to approve those stipen additions for the FY26 school year. I entertain a motion. So moved. Second. It's been moved and properly second. All in favor? I. Any opposed? That's pass. Student handbook revisions. Yes. That um based on the new law and I believe Mr. Smith, as he always has, formed a committee, a diverse committee of uh stakeholders to provide input. And based on that input, based on the new legislation, he has put to uh for your review and approval uh the FY26 uh student handbook. Is this we're going to review or it's already we're so you can uh you have a option you can
042approve it if you have been able to review it prior to today you can uh move to approve or you can uh postpone it to July after review can we postpone it because I did have some questions and I failed to get a hold of Mr. I agree. I was going to say the same thing. Some of these issues we need a little more time to look at instead of just two or three days because I always go back and look at the last policies and make sure that we're covering everything. And it's part of our our board responsibilities to make sure the student handbook revisions or newans or whatever are appropriate. So I I agree with the I'll second her motion postpone. So So what we'll do is just um give us some more
043time to review and it'll be on the July board agenda. Right. So do we need to talk to Mr. Smith if we have any questions specific? Yes. Uh if you can u email or I prefer if possible if you could email him so he has a documentation and then he can track those inquiries. But if if you call him, I'm sure he can take notes and know where he's getting the information from. So Okay. Okay. Thank you. Uh employee leave conversion rounding to nearest half day. Yes. Uh Mr. Hunt, our director of finance has uh put this action item before you. While completing the leave conversion in late June 2025, employees will be left with a fractional leave balance. So, and in an effort to not penalize them by taking away uh some leave, we
044would like to brown to the nearest half day. Uh if you remember, we were doing by hours, but based upon how we operate on a day-to-day basis, uh it's more beneficial financially and recordkeeping to be able to hold employees to half days and not hours. So, either you take a half a day leave or a whole day leave. And so as we convert back to have and whole um those fractions some are over those have and we don't we did not want to penalize our employees. So the uh proposal before you is to round that to the nearest half uh so that the employee is not penalized. So the recommendation is to approve rounding employee leave to the nearest half during the leave conversion from hours back to days. Make a motion to approve the
045superintendent's recommendation. Second. It's been moved and properly second. All in favor? I. Any opposed? Okay, that's pass. Student disciplinary actions. Yes. Uh board members, you have four um cases to review. Um and it's in your electronic packet. They're going to review. They are uncontested and so you can take action on all of them as a unit. See these things are stupid. Okay. [Music] All right. Um, we've reviewed the disciplinary action. I'll entertain a motion. Make a motion to approve the superintendent's recommendation. Second. It's been moved and properly second. All in favor? I. Any opposed? Okay, that's passed. Um, we have an addendum here for non-renewal of Pathfinder lease agreement, new lease agreement, Arch Ford Education Service Cooperative for the location and consideration and recommendations for personnel. I entertain a motion to um approve the addendum
046being added to the agenda. So moved. Second. Okay, there's a move and properly second. All in favor? All right. Okay. Board members, the uh lease agreement for Pathfinder uh is coming up uh as set to expire and they've actually moved out of the building and if you're not familiar with the building, it's the building that's detached right across the parking lot from this building. Um, and so the district evaluated other uses or potential partnerships uh to serve the needs uh of our students and how we could use them um as a district. And after communication with uh key district leaders, we felt that moving forward with the Horizon's Day treatment that we pay into already uh that it would be um a win-win for us to partner with Arch Ford uh service cooperative to bring
047that um that program here. uh one is going to save on transportation and then we can uh work out a um a financial uh obligation or deal with them as well as we move forward. And so the cost uh per square foot is there before you which is $14.40 for 5,184 total square feet in space. uh their monthly payment would be the $6,220.80 that they would pay to the district. And so that's a definitely a win for us. Uh because right now with the current lease u it was a dollar per year type lease. So that would be additional income um for the district. And so the proposal before you are the action items to recommend the approval of the Horizon contract uh with Arch Ford uh theou and the cancellation of the lease agreement
048uh with Pathfinder. Okay. I entertain a motion. So moved. Second. It's a move and properly second. All in favor? I got a question though. They're going to pay for the utilities or we pay for the utilities. They are paying utilities, internet, everything. Okay. All right. Thank you. I have a question also. Will they be um paying the same as Pathfinder was or were we up to? No. Path the police with Pathfinder uh was a dollar per year. So we were Okay. They're paying a little bit more. a little bit more. Yeah. It wasn't in the book, though. He said, "Always want to make sure we're getting our money." He just didn't hear. That's why I'm here for you. Oh, thank you. Always a colonel. Thank you. All in favor? I. Any oppose? No. Okay, that
049is passed. Okay. And personnel and I have to remind you that any personel need to go into executive session. Make a motion we go into executive session. Do a break for the executive session. Okay, we back in session. Okay, I will um entertain a motion for the personnel. Second. It's been moved and probably second. All in favor? I looks like it's it Mr. May Daniel, I make a motion we adjourn. Stay on. I make a motion we adjourn. It's second. All right, it's done. All right, have a good evening. Thank you guys. We're a lover.
