And we do need an approval of the agenda. Do we have a motion? >> A second. >> Second. >> All those in favor and special recognitions. Mr. Rice, do we have any? >> No, we do not. >> Okay. Uh items of information, superintendence report, >> just a couple of additions. U we've been working on uh athletic schedules for you guys and so um u Stacy has been putting them into a
003month-to-month calendar for you. So we've got Ridgland completed. She's working on that. Uh and we'll send that out to you and that'll just kind of give you because there were several where there were three and four things on a night. So I want to make sure you've got that. So she's working on that and I appreciate that. She's also put together an open house schedule for you. um those are coming up quickly because we'll kick off with our teachers a week from Friday. Most of our open houses will be on that Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday before we head back to school. So, a couple of items that um you guys will be seeing. Uh one thing we talked about and thank you again for your time today, Kevin, especially for the three hours of required GSBA
004training and then for the remainder of the board being here for the legal update. Uh we were contacted by Judge Brian office about uh and you heard as Steve was giving you the report on those uh school attendance and climate climate teams. They're asking us to do one at a district level. They want the superintendent or designate. They want a school social worker and they want a board member. Now, I was a little presumptuous and I suggested that Dr. Willerson that might be a role that because Kevin's in school, I know Mrs. Hunter is working. I was gonna say full-time. It's probably more than full-time most of the time. Um, and I know Travis, well, I think Travis works. I don't know. I see him around a lot. I'm just kidding. Um, so anyway, that
005was just something that was connected to the individual teams that we're going to have at the schools. So, it kind of puts you in a liazison role. Not pinpointing you for that, but I want you to think about that. But, that's something that we got we're going to be working through and I'll continue to share uh additional details with you guys. um the military. We're still waiting on the u final version of the tax digest. As soon as we get that, that will dictate when we can begin to advertise. So, we'll keep you in that loop as well. We're thinking it's going to probably be September before we get those on the books. But, we're going to try to do those so that you're at planning and you have some and you're at the board
006meeting and have them instead of having multiple nights that you have to meet and meet. We'll continue to work with you on that. the John Hancock banner recipients. We've had several that have gotten their banners. So, we're excited about that. So far, Chadick Valley Elementary, Cherokee Ridge, Rosville Elementary, Naomi, Rock Spring, and Fairland have all received their banners. And so, you guys had mentioned the um desire for them to at least pursue that. And so, we had several schools that did that. Uh and then the last thing is the Walker Kids Day coming up next Tuesday from 1 to 5. Uh we've got a lot going on there at Saddle Ridge. I know Mrs. Harden is working on uh kind of a board theme. So, I'll get with her uh and make sure we've got
007everything that we need for that day. Uh but that's an exciting event for our students and our families as they're coming back. And so, if you guys are able to make it out uh there, don't feel like you have to be there all four hours. You do not. If you can stop by and say hello, uh make an appearance, whatever. If your work schedule doesn't allow that, I know Kevin's already got some training coming up, so he's going to hopefully get there toward the end, but uh if you can make it, great. if you can't just know that that is a a well attended event and we give out a lot of good stuff. Ringo Telephone's actually bringing 500 boxes of food and 500 backpacks full of supplies. So that's an addition this year which
008is a big deal for us. So really excited about that. So those were just some additional things for tonight and take questions from the report at planning if you have them. >> Any questions? Any questions? No, ma'am. I'm good. Thank you. >> I'm good as well. Thank you. >> All right. >> Uh facilities report. >> Uh basically on track all the facilities still on track to August 1st. Rock Spring launch and the high school are are on track to meet that deadline. Um again, it all depends on delivery of products, but right now we're on schedule. >> Any questions, comments? >> Can you give us a update on the Chadoo Valley? Valley Middle started today. They have already removed the sod on right side, put a sand layer down and all that and sod should
009be going down uh soon. He his worst case he's hoping to be done by tomorrow and if weather holds out and all that Wednesday hopefully last get everything in. >> Okay, we do have one individual action item. Um, it's recommended that the Walker County Board of Education approve the financial report for the month ending May 31st, 2025. Do we have a motion? >> Motion. >> A second. Any discussion? All those in favor? >> I approve as well. >> Uh, next we have our consent action items. We have a motion to approve those. our recommendation. Do we have a motion? >> Second. >> I'll second. >> Any discussion? >> All those in favor? Um, new business. Um, Mr. Richardson, anything? >> Uh, no ma'am. I do not have any new business at this time. >> Mr.
010Will? Mr. Middleton, do you have anything? >> I do. I have a couple things actually. Um, before we meet again, uh, school will be in in progress, right? And so, we just want to be sure that, uh, everyone, uh, has a great first week or two of school. Uh, I know that the kids, it'll take some adjustment, right, from staying up till 10, 11, 12, whatever o'lock there is. I didn't I didn't know 10 came twice in one day personally anymore. But uh excited for the school year to to get going and uh look to see our kids succeed. Our teachers uh they hopefully they're well rested. They've they've been on uh vacation. They've done all kinds of things and now they're ready to go to work. Right. I know uh Dr. Stinson, I don't
011know if he's in the crowd, but he always says he wants his uh folks to rejuvenate during the summer. And that's exactly what what I hope is all of our students, faculty, staff, uh directors, coordinators, everybody's rejuvenated and and uh ready to get going and uh ready to see this 25 26 school year kick off and great things are going to happen, right? ready for work, ready for life, ready for college. So, it's going to be awesome. >> Thank you, Travis. Miss Harden. >> No, ma'am. I don't have any new business. Thank you. >> And I do not. Um, next we have public participation, Mr. W. >> No, ma'am. No sign. >> And uh I think we do have a need for executive session personnel. Do we have a motion? A second. >> Second. >>
