001this is okay just somebody start talking okay start talking oh my god my voice [Music] is [Music] education [Music] the united states of america and to the republic for which we'll skip president's comments and go speak to superintendents um so far i'm thinking we've had a pretty good opening um [Music] we were cleared out by three o'clock so i think the last discussion was at 250 so it was in 10 minutes we were cleared out um i think all the lunches everywhere went pretty well um i didn't see too many issues for the high school for about 25 kids per lunch period for seniors so that should take care of the overcrowding this at the high school cafeteria lunch um unfortunately we're not able to do that today because i believe mr smith was going
002over all the rules of the cafeteria especially going over the qr codes and how to take pens and things like that so we would not have been able to connect that today so that will happen tomorrow um with that i just want to let everybody know our enrollment as of today is 1900 [Music] um so i just want to make you aware of that we'll also send out our first pulse survey to the parents um for the beginning of the school year so that is my report at this time [Music] glass at the rounds they do not but they are three feet apart on the ramps okay how many four okay yeah all right so if you don't have any community reports so right now we are up to open to the public for agenda

004resolution since outside the personnel resolutions under district financial six point two through six point twelve can i get emotion um [Music] and what does that mean so in other words by contract they're only allowed to have four different classes that they teach so i'll use math as an example out for one geometry algebra two so on so somebody has a fifth class that you're teaching so a higher level math per say like a calculus b cap or whatever so by contract we have to give them a statement any other questions scene none thank you vote paul bo yes morris yes yes ushamano yes thomas ellie yes yes with an abstention from 6.9 and 6.10 zipcode yes [Music] can i get a motion motion motion mr thomas second second mr zipko discussion [Music] abstain yes education
005resolutions district of high school resolved the vamper board of education recruits resolutions at that time in educational resolutions under the district page for 8.2 through 8.4 can i get any motion okay motion missed the battle there second second second mr bell discussion i think that's going to be something that we're going to have to do every year moving forward just to have our files but yeah that's a are those things that will get updated on all the bases yeah um we left them in there and we didn't necessarily need them for the virtual plant but we left them in there as a reference for us um because again with this virtual plant part of it is if you use it for snow days you can use it for if the building happens to go out
006for like one billion taxes however that plan was developed for a long term being out for a long term period of time so we wanted to leave those things in there just as a record source and is this a resource that is going to become public knowledge for absolutes in the district yep something positive on the website matter of fact the old one should be on the website after you approve this when the will come down to the law so i was going to ask you that's the pandemic yes mars yes yes what's the matter amicelli yes yes yes ocean passes section 9 educational resolutions middle and elementary resolve the boundary court of education approved the resolutions as outlined in educational resolutions under middle and elementary schools 9.2 and 9.3 can i get a motion
007awesome motion mr bail second second second miss morris discussion so happy to see him we're planning the eighth grade trip again yeah it's very exciting actually i told all the principals you know all these class trips and everything at this moment in time i want to be as i want to try and get back as normal as humanly possible within the confines that we have [Laughter] is yes morris yes yes luciana thomas ellie yes that's steam yes [Music] so you'll see that from time to time again a word agenda it's just letting you know that that particular student who is a kid okay uh section 10 special education resolutions uh resolved boundary court of education approves the resolutions as outlined in special uh special services resolution is 10.2 and 10.3 can i get a motion
008motions motion second second miss discussion is that something we perceive for for anybody yeah when it comes when it comes to specialist students we have a requirement from the department of education the federal department of education to fill medicaid for anything that we can build medicaid for um usually what you'll see is you'll see a report sometime later in the year called semi that semi report is actually what we've built and what we received from medicaid um usually what will happen is like we're supposed to get 95 of whatever we put in for for medicaid we usually don't make that number so we usually end up with an action plan for that um that's just an unfortunate thing with our particular population that just can't get the paperwork returned but yes that's exactly the requirement
009okay and you know it leads into a second question which is typically you know obviously we're voting on an amount of money that's associated with this contract but the town isn't really going to how many children have a special ed this year we are working this year out of district specialists especially 49 49 and how much of the budget is i don't know the exact percentage of the top of my head but i can get back to you on that i will say roughly 3 million on uh page four it actually knows that if there's a discrepancy between the tentative rates that this has been agreed to under the casual experience that there would be some kind of [Music] a year to two years later so what happens is the department of education gives them
010an approved amount which they don't give to them right now where you're actually using an old amount and then they give you a true up number later and then usually what happens is depending on how much we put it for like uh transportation esi things like that extended school year um you know there usually is a true up number that we usually have to come up with um or sometimes you know there's occasions where it does come back to us too but usually we're you know department of special education coming up with those uh tuition figures they give you a tuition figure that you have to use based upon the classification just replacing the song so far it gets a little complicated it does get a little complicated but it's uh but again that's based
011upon that true number that we get a year and a half two years later um but i think right now between us and southbound we've done a really good job of trying to keep that into alive so we're not hurting each other just not last year [Music] i gave you guys a really good deal on that i believe you i'm just making sure you know that i know that but i gave you a really good deal on it okay no problem any other questions and just so everybody knows that again for south fabric they ended up owning us quite a bit of money um i gave them a very large crazy period i actually broke it up over uh the two payment things that were one payment thing just so everybody is aware you know
012we work really well with southbound brook and i try to keep that relationship as open as i can unfortunately that that relationship's a little strained at the moment after our nursing uh issues but you know i try to keep that as immediately as they can with them um it's a great relationship that we have with southbound park i want to i want to emphasize that we've had such a great relationship with south soundbrook dr goby and i work really really well together and we're able to uh take care of our kids extremely well by sending some of our kids there free of charge they sent some of our kids here free of charge with our special ed programs and things like that um so i just wanted to to emphasize that piece question something you
013just mentioned about um sometimes it's the parents but a lot of times the out of district places themselves right and it costs is yeah when it comes to sending and trying to get the uh district policies to fill out the paperwork there's no forced requirement for them to fill out the paperwork we're basically at that vetting ball right it really does hurt us but we do the very very best we can to get everything in [Music] yes we're up to section 11 financial resolutions resolve the founding board of education resolutions is outlined in financial resolutions 11.2 through 11.6 can i get a motion motion i'd just like to thank everybody for the donations i i will say on that end that um mrs fisher has done an unbelievable job of coordinating the donation to get
014to our families that are displaced um you know thank you thank god um down brook has not been hit as hard as that they have in the past but we do have probably 15 families or so displaced from this uh and uh i know even today alone getting out the clothes the towels all the other items that we've been able to do uh mrs fisher really deserves a big round of applause for all her efforts in that area i like to second that i think mrs fisher has been exemplary in not only bringing the board together but the community as a whole and i know a lot of my constituents and just neighbors and people in general are so thick the job that you've done mrs fisher of official presidents any other questions of course
015so the last set of financial reports that were published and a couple of quick comments on eleven three which is just one quick point of reference it seems to me that 2e and 1b might be in conflict i just want to have i guess some clarity who's going to be responsible for engaging the community uh whether it's going to be the consultant or whether it's going to be responsibilities i would think that that's a question you're going to have to ask the opportunity i don't remember the specific number he just referenced i think it was two and later in the document it actually seems to indicate that the district would be responsible for that so i just want to make sure that in you know i can tell you from from from what i've seen
016in the contract and what michelle and i signed that is supposed to fall to the consultant and i don't think that's how you pick that yeah the board agrees to arrange for proposed forums c1b yes it references you right back to where it says the consultant so we arrange it and then he takes care of it from there maybe maybe we schedule it i don't know yeah my only other question is it seems like the reports that the consultants are going to be delivering key deliverables but they're not really specified to any great degree in the document and they maybe have samples that they can share with us i mean i know the contract is long signed and executed again what i would tell you to do is um michelle is the point of contact
017with whitford who's the lead consultant for this i would send her a question to michelle michelle and send it to bonnie gave me an answer any other questions okay yeah yes mars yes yes yes but i'm just abstaining from uh check three eight two eight nine check three eight four one six okay i'm sorry give me the second one please uh three eight four one six and then i'm abstaining from 11.4 and 11.5 can you give me the first check number yes okay at this time we are up to items 12 to 13 other manners to come before the board and your business do you you know potentially how long do you think the students will be displaced for or is that just like how is it going to be like are they going to
018be i can i can tell you that um some of those are permanent and then our homeless that is one that they get when we get funding from the state because they're attributed absolutely no no there's other ways to get right so that's why absolutely not nothing important yes there's a different way it is yeah any other matter seeing them we are open to the public for discussion items online i see none from the public at this time at this time we need to move into executive session under items four six and seven we will be dismissing from executive sessions because there is no other items that will be taken uh in public so i'm making everybody know that we're going to executive session will probably return from executive sessions so um can i get
019any emotions going through executive session most of mr tommy second second second just to bail all in favor all right thank you foreign you
