001[Music] Hello Falcons. Mr. Fleshner here bringing you our update from our September 15th school board meeting. And you might notice it's picture day here at AP. Kelly will be working on the video, so we'll see when it gets out. But all right, let's hit some notes from the meeting. Overall, pretty light agenda as far as just action items. Um really kind of some things we touched on. Biggest one in the entire agenda is the board approved moving forward um and to approve a $9.25 million save bond. That's money that's bonded against the penny sales tax. Now we've got some other pieces we have to work through there. Um but in initial steps are in motion. So that that'll be a really exciting thing obviously with our bond referendum going to the vote on November 4th.
002So stay tuned. More to come on that. Okay. Audit something that happens here every year at AP and schools across the state. Um overall very clean audit. Thank you to Darla and Kayla in the business office here uh for really uh attending to all those details. Very very minor things brought up but overall very very good. uh continuing our agreement with KidQuest, our partner over in Appton, uh to continue preschool services uh that agreement looks very much like it did last year. The school approved buying a new or a 2018, so not new, a 2018 um van that will be used by our industrial tech. So support our students that are out on job sites, work with Mr. Scott. Great program, get some great hands-on learning um with our kids. Last couple of items on
003here. The board also did approve uh FFA transportation out of state. Mr. Putin takes the kids to national convention and also do some livestock judging shows um that are out of the state of Iowa. And the last one on here is you'll see it's an annual piece allow allow allowable growth. Sorry, tough word for me this morning. Um for special education services. So, we really want to make sure we're providing the most appropriate best services for some of our students with some special needs and sometimes that creates a little extra money that we have to spend in a deficit. So, the board approved moving that forward as well. And then really just some consent agenda items, uh, filling in some coaching vacancies and those kind of things. Now, I'm going to flip back a little
004bit real quick to facilities. Very very soon, you're going to see a website dedicated to the $16.3 million general obligation bond that we're asking uh of our patrons in our community. And again, it'll look somewhat similar to what you've seen last year, things with tax information, but there's lots of pictures inside of there. Um all kinds of question and answer kind of things inside of there, and we'll continue to add to it. But look out for that launch real real soon. And if you've got questions with any of that, please reach out to me here at the school. Either email, give me a call, I'll call you back, email me, I'll email you back. I want to make sure you get good factual information on this. And as always, go Falcons. [Music]
