001With the pledge of allegiance, if we'd all please stand. >> I pledge allegiance 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. >> All right. Good evening everyone. Uh before we get into our agenda, we'll start with a a public hearing on the transfer of funds to the flexibility account here at 5:30. Um couple years ago there was a house file 565 which established the flexibility fund which was really gave school districts some local control of some of their uh um categorical categorical fundings. Um we aren't we're just looking at one one specific categorical fund, the home school assistance program. Uh we use those dollars to it's a per pupil amount. It's how you get it.

002uh we pay our homeschool coordinator stipen with it. We cover any uh necessary expenses and we still have a balance uh just under $40,000. So recommending we transfer $25,000 of that. Um and we'll use that to pay for differential pay for teacher associates, which if you remember, we uh that was something we negotiated. If they work with a level two student, they get an extra quarter. If they work with a level three student, they get an extra 50 cents. Um, so this that this will cover that additional expense. So most of public hearing for this now action later. >> What other expenses besides paying the homeschool coordinator do you see from the district? >> Not much. Maybe some administration of uh some assessments um kind of some stuff like that. Maybe some uh materials if

003they requested it or resources which isn't isn't very common but Yeah, I mean I two of my kids are homeschooled and one's dy enrolled, one's homeschooled and two are in the district, but it's just like I don't know what >> we homeschooled families in our district do not ask a lot of the district. Uh there's there's there's little expense to go with it. >> They are on screening. So we pay >> Yeah, we do pay for some some assessment stuff. Yeah. Mhm. Good questions. Any other? All right. Hearing none, we'll close this public hearing here. All right. We'll move into the uh regular agenda. Um seeing we have enough here for uh for vote hearing delegations. None. We need to approve the agenda. So moved. Thank you, Todd. We got a second. >> All right.

004Thanks, Brent. We have a motion and second. All in favor say I. I >> opposed. Agenda approved. Uh seeing no communications to the board, we'll move into the consent items which you should have received with your board packet and then also maybe a few other invoices in front of you here. >> I will highlight um the cash and bank document looks like this. You'll see we have 2.8 million in there. July um 2526 and 4.1 last year. So when first looking at this that that's a concern, right? That's a big change. However, when I look at the same document from a year ago, um this number in 2425 is actually 2.5 million. So this this occurs because of some gap accounting and how we pay teachers throughout the summer. So not a concern. um it's

005just how it shows up um when we reconcile at the end of July. >> So this number is actually 300,000 more this year than it was last year. So we're we are where we anticipated to be >> looking at invoices huddle subscription $16,000 >> for the huddle subscription. Yeah. Is booster club u fun? >> Sometimes they've donated to it but we always pay for it and then they don't >> I think the booster club ends up covering but it's expensive >> for software. >> We have a lot of them. >> Yeah. >> And I think I think ultimately because I I've been part of district size that Huddle subscription for probably almost 15 years. What's changed is the storage. you know, nothing is stored um locally anymore. It's all stored on their stuff. >> That's

006when the expenses start to get package those. >> Yeah. >> Our management fund is only $84,000. Is that pretty typical? It seems pretty low >> at this time. I think yes, because we just paid our property liability, all that, which was five 600,000. >> Yeah. Five something. >> Well, we currently tax for and management. We spent Um, which is good. I think that's appropriate use. Uh, so, you know, we just ended the tax year and now it'll it'll build back up. Our expenses will come out throughout the year. >> We get big payments October and April. >> Okay. >> A motion approve consent items. >> Thanks, Grant. Do we have a second? >> Second the motion. >> Thanks, John. We have a motion and a second. Any further discussion? >> Hearing none. All in favor

007say I. >> I. Opposed. Consent items approved. Uh we'll move into your report, Joe. >> Uh first thing, some staffing report. Uh we're still in need of a few uh positions in the district. We've had a few teacher associate resignations here uh late in the summer. Um we have and and we have a number of teacher associate hires on our agenda. So, we're probably in a pretty good place with that. We have filled all of our full-time driving uh positions, which we weren't able to do that through all of last year. So, we've made some positive steps in transportation. We also have a few subs who are lined up and ready to go. So, uh Mr. Lane's done a great job in finding people for for that department. Mr. Cecil had some conversations with a

008possible high school English candidate. We don't have that yet, but we're working on that still. Um, we'll see if if we're able to put that together for the start of the year. Our board retreat is scheduled for Wednesday from 4:30 to 6:30 at the Ler Farm. Um, on our agenda, we have the cell phone policy. Uh, we have the activity passes for all students topic, uh, facilities updates, where we're at in our future, um, a financial review for the district, and then some information on the IASB convention. New teachers will be in the district on Wednesday. We'll have new teachers in on Wednesday and Thursday. Uh we also brought in our new teachers in June, but we believe uh bringing them in in June, you know, we get them their computers, we get them their

009keys, we get them their passwords, uh we make it so when they get here uh Wednesday, we can really just get started. Um all staff will be here. >> How many new teachers are this year? >> Uh I was going to say six. >> Yeah, it sounds >> six. six new six that were TAs that became teachers. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> So, 12 total. >> Three and three, I'm sorry. >> Oh, three and three. Six total new teachers. >> Um August 18th, we'll have all staff. We'll begin that day with an all staff welcome and breakfast. Taher and their chefs will be on hand uh for breakfast that day. Um and I'll um get the group started. We'll have professional development and and work time on Monday through Thursday, 18 through 21st. And on

010Thursday at uh 8:30, we'll have Brian Mendler here to speak um in the PAC at 8:30. I would invite you guys if you're interested to come see Brian. Going to give a great message on uh kicking off our school year and then also working with students. Um, grades 5 through 12 will start on August 25th with K4 beginning August 26th. So, we're we're gearing up. Principles were in this last week. We met a number of times. Um, finish up some of our training with our new teachers this week before we have everyone in next week. >> Moving forward a couple weeks. >> Yep. >> Any questions for Joe? All right, we'll move on to old business and we've got to approve a second reading of board policy. Second reading. So we do have action. Um

011same recommendations as we had in July. Um board policy 2062 the vice president. We need to update the first paragraph to the to match the IASB recommendation. Uh we have some updated languages to board policies. 2091 development of policy and 2092 uh adopt adoption of policy. And then we need to update our language of dissemination of policy due to technology and online posting for board policy 2093. >> All right. If you had a chance to review those, we need a motion then for approval. >> Make a motion to approve the updates for >> Thanks, Todd. Do we have a second? >> I'll second. >> Thanks, Brent. We have a motion in a second. Any further discussion hearing? None. All in favor say I. >> I. Opposed. >> Second reading to board policy approved. Uh new

012business. We're looking at some first readings. >> First reading still staying in the 200 series. Um first change would be in 2106 the quorum. We need to update our language to define a quorum and encourage attendance as per ISB language recommendations. also need to update language for the process of posting and creating the agenda in line with the IASB recommendations for board policy 2108. That is it. Those two changes. >> Please take a few moments to look over those changes and we'll look to approve next month. Um, I think what's nice about a seven member board is that like I mean we're all here the majority of the time, but it's nice that it gives us flexibility to not be here and still have a quorum. If we had three or five, it'd be >>

013tough tough. >> Yeah, >> seven person board I think is nice. I think it's a luxury. I think that is a struggle in a five person board making sure you have your people there for the quum. Sure does. That's true. All right. Um, moving forward, this is where we look to approve that uh, resolution for transfer categorical funds. >> So, again, kind of, uh, reiterating what we said in the public hearing and there was a house file that gave local control over some categorical funds. So, you can make the decision as a district to transfer some of the those categorical funds to your general fund. Um, and we have a number of categorical funds. Um, and some you can just you can just do that that move. But this one requires a public hearing and

014board approval uh to move our homeschool assistance dollars. Um, again, we we pay our home school coordinator stipen and all necessary expenses, but we still have almost a $40,000 balance. So, we we want to transfer 25,000 of that and specifically those dollars will be used to pay the differential pay for teacher associates um that we approved for this year. And we need a roll call. >> Yep. We'll need a roll call. >> First of all, we need a motion then to approving the resolution directing. >> Motion to approve the resolution. >> Thank you, Brent. Do you have a second? >> Second the motion. >> Thanks, Tom. We have a motion and a second. Um Lisa, we'll move into the vote vote. >> And just to clarify, I mean, when money goes to the general fund,

015we could always spend it if we needed to out of the general fund. >> Spend on exactly >> anything. Okay. What what move what this move does is allows us to spend it on something other >> rather than just sitting there and not using the right. >> Yeah. >> Davis, >> yes. >> Limbo, >> yes. >> Mitchell is absent. Nin. >> Yes. >> Owen, >> yes. >> And Vincy, yes. >> All right. Resolution approved. All right. Um, going into looking at some sharing agreements. We have four sharing agreements in in the in the action item. I'll talk about all four of those though. Um first of all, girls swimming. Uh we've had girls swimming sharing agreements with Bishop Garrian, Emittsburg, and Estherville for a number of years. Um most recently, if Emittsburg and Esville have

016swimmers, uh which they haven't of late, but sharing agreement with all those. We administer that program. We would continue to administer that program. boys swimming agreement. This is year two of this agreement and year two of this program. Um sharing just with Bish Bishop Garrian as we did last year. Grian would continue to administer that program. Girls wrestling with Bishop Garrian as we have in the past and boys wrestling with Bishop Grian as we have had in the past. What happened on the state level with the bill that was proposed or up for debate about public schools? This not even being a point that they would have to allow private schools to come if the private school didn't offer. The legislation did pass that says if a non-public doesn't have a program then they are

017allowed to to compete on the resident districts in residents program for example wrestling doesn't have that so they they are allowed to wrestle on ours that legislation did pass um >> so why do we have to vote on it >> there could be some some hang-ups if you did that one being if one of the Garagan students wasn't a resident then they couldn't wrestle. So it could mean that some Garrison kids could wrestle here and some couldn't. >> Some have to go to Emisburg and some would have to go to West Hancock where they >> depending on where their residency. Okay. >> Um all of our coaches support these programs, support them, support these agreements and support these sharing agreements. Um Brent brings up a good point. There was legislation that that says um a

018resident student who goes to nonpublic would get to wrestle here anyway. >> Make a motion to approve the we just do it all as one or do we have to do each one individually? >> Just one. >> Approve the sharing agreements. >> I'll second those. >> All right. Thanks, Todd. Thanks, Jay. Do we have any further discussion >> hearing? None. All in favor say I. >> I will discuss because this has been I've brought this up before individually. I know it's not a popular point that's not going to be a fan for the Bishop Grian families, but I do think if our coaches support this that when the numbers because we're bringing in other kids need to find ways to create more opportunities for our kids because I do see it taking away opportunities for

019the Alona kids when the numbers fit. Like for instance, our boys program has been large last couple years and kids just aren't getting opportunities to compete or matches. you know, when we have more kids coming over. >> So, >> I I agree with you, Bren. It's it's a challenge um in wrestling specifically to find um >> I'll say like a varsity level competition if you're not the varsity wrestler, you know, because you can't can't have two guys in the in the tournament, right? you're not gonna most of the night you're not going to run two guys at the same weight out in a in a duel. So, it is it's tough. Um, we've had a few examples where we've went we've split and went two ways. I think exploring those opportunities is valuable, >> but

020it's hard because there's other there schools that don't want the B team >> in their tournament and getting beat by the B team, which is where >> B team has been very successful, >> which have been successful. I also think I mean on the state level when legislators start interfering I mean I think I'll say I they need to stay out of local decisions for schools. >> We've kind of said that as a board >> we we prioritize in one of our legislator. >> So I mean it's just to our legislators and I know they're not watching but I mean just leave local decisions to local boards rather than governing from a state level. I don't think it's good for schools. >> You'll see that as a top priority I believe by all school district

021systems >> coming into the delegate assembly. But you're right, we're having u less and less local control on Iowa schools >> and it and it's a you know politically side parties. You see it from the conservatives which you know >> this and they're coming more from a top down approach which I'm disappointed in our leaders for doing that. So and this is just an example of of that and I'm not saying I mean a lot of these boys not so much the girls have been part of the youth program for years. So, it' be a shame to put an end to it. You know, I'm not suggesting that, but I just think it's just an example of taking away from local control for what's best for our kids and just from a state level saying

022you have to do this. And I just not a fan of it for whether it's sports or education or guidelines. I think it should be left to a local district to make those decisions. >> I agree. >> Thank you for those comments. Uh any further comments or discussion? Hearing none, we do have a motion and a second. All in favor say I. >> I. >> Opposed. >> Sharing agreements approved. I'm looking at some change orders for the fields. >> Yeah, couple things. Um hopefully it's the last time we ever say change order again for a really long time. Um >> okay. Well, we we can look at these. Um second thing, um you know, where we at in budget? I've shared this with some of you guys in our memos, but I think it's important

023to talk about um when we started this process, um $13.1 million is what we borrowed uh to complete this project and our bid came in at 12.7, which is great, although we've we've change ordered up to 131. But I guess big picture and what I I'd like to communicate is we're still within budget, and that's that's good. That's great. Um we will have a substantial completion walkth through this week. Uh the biggest thing that comes from the st substantial completion walkth through is um we will gain access to the facility as intended once that happens. So by the end of this week we'll we will access the entire facility as intended. There there will still be stuff they're they're finishing and finalizing. Um, but we [laughter] our PE classes will be on the courts. Our

024volleyball teams will be on the courts. Uh, we've been using the wrestling room and the weight room for a number of weeks. Um, and then that's exciting. Uh, in the weight room this morning, remember, you could go back three years when we've outlined objectives. Uh, one of the reasons for the new weight room is we couldn't fit whole teams in our weight room. Um, we had our 912 football team in the weight room today for the first time, I don't know, since I've been here, you know. So, the 15 racks were full. We had four kids in some racks. We had five kids. >> Was the was the weight equipment as part of the 13.1? >> No, it is not. We had that budgeted separately. >> Yeah. >> So, where did that come from? Like,

025where did the finances come for that? >> Sales tax dollars. Um we had um if you remember about 1.5 million of sales tax that we had not part of that but we had budgeted for some of those types of things. We equipment hurdles >> some of the wrestling. >> Yeah. Bleachers. Um some of those other >> What's the story with the wrestling mats? I heard they're bleeding. Is that normal? Has the company been contacted? Do you know anything about that >> about bleeding? >> Bleeding. The colors are bleeding. The lines are bleeding. >> I've seen that. I was just sitting there. >> Yeah, we were just in there, but I haven't seen it. >> But there's a problem. >> Yeah, I would just maybe follow through on that. Maybe it's not a problem, but it's

026my nephew who's wrestled quite a bit was like that's just not normal for mats to do. The colors were like the lines were bleeding out of the mat. >> And you know, those are wrest. >> Yeah, that's as good as there is. Um, >> so maybe Andy knows about that or his contact. Maybe it's not that big a deal, but >> yep, we'll look into it. Our change orders. Um, change order 53. Uh, we have to add a fur out wall to the south wall of the team room. If you remember the the team room and the middle school room kind of switch locations after design was done. So, this is to fur out the south wall of the high school classroom. Uh total amount of the change orders $6,297 recommended by our architects to

027do that. Change order 54 in Lintel added to the doorway. So there uh we cut a doorway out of the old weight room. Um but they left basically the framing of the doorway out of design. Just a mistake in design. Obviously that needs to be in there. Uh change order 55. The breaker for the heater and the vest vestibule is not large enough. Again, designed incorrectly. So, we need to increase the size of the breaker. Change order 56. Uh we approved an extension to put some lights over the view deck. Um like the location had to change and they had to. We had changed that. We approved that change a few months ago. the contractor left out the cables, the extended cables to lower them that amount. So, change order 56 is for the cables,

028the cords. Change order 57, again, a breaker issue. The breaker that was called for in design for the ejector pump is not large enough design. and change order 58. Similar um breakers need to be added for the light fixtures in two of the repurposed classrooms that were left out of design. Total amounts to >> um >> 56 57 58 those amounts would change. >> It says there's a few questions and changes. You might want to hold off on those three. I think the amount will change once things are >> okay. So we can just go with these top three, 53, 54, and 55. So that's the verd wall, the doorway, and the breaker for the heater. And that would be 6,000. The Intel is and the best wheel heater breaker 657. So about $8,000 is

029what this total. >> It would be nice to have a completed project. So, I will make a motion to approve those, but >> I'm looking forward when it's they finish it. >> Yeah, >> I expect it just disappoints me that we have hired these people and paying good money and yet you look at there um well, the first one, you know, was a something we changed, left out of design, designed incorrectly, left out of the bid, not large enough, left out, you know, I mean, it just seems like >> there's a lot of stuff there that there's six six on here. Five of these six. Well, yeah. Everyone except for something we changed, the other five are all designed. >> Yeah. You know, it's just like I don't know. I just that disappoints me that

030that there's that many and it seems like there's been quite a [clears throat] few others >> throughout the process that >> design team's a large group. Uh you know, Atura, you know, leads our design group, but there's electrical engineers, which is what some >> contractor. Yeah. These would all fall into the electrical engineers. There's civil engineers. there's a lot of groups that work for them to to create this and um certainly we've had some electrical design issues as we could tell >> but I think good learning you know because you talk about a $13 million project versus >> you know 40 $50 million project down the road >> like we can't afford to have >> do you have to take the low bid I mean do we have to take the low bid based on

031our experience >> can you write into the contract that it like design issue flaws cannot exceed x% of the the bid. >> There's different things you can you can write in. You know, one thing you can write in um like delays, stuff like that. Um most of the architects are going to tell you once you do that, you just increase your cost. >> You know, they're saying the bids are going to go up 10% then. >> But if you go with the lowest bid, and in this case, I think, you know, they didn't even bid it correctly, right? which but you're subject to their electrical contractors and that kind of stuff. Well, I guess what if as we learn from this, what and I you don't necessarily have to answer this tonight, Joe, but what

032kind of things can we do in the future? Because we can't afford, >> you know, to go and I don't know at the end of this, we'll we'll figure out what the change order design-wise added to the budget x percentage, but you know, when you're talking about that on that large of a project, I mean, >> I mean, it's four 4% maybe, right? I mean, if we were at 12.6 and we're at 13.1. >> Mhm. [clears throat] Yeah, I mean that's 4% of the budget. >> And they say on large projects normal contingencies 10 to 12%. >> Yeah. >> Make sure we're factoring. >> I mean, it happens and it's frustrating, but it's like not >> there are contingencies in that, you know, I think I don't know if I've learned anything. I I think

033one thing would be in the design. Um I don't know if we went too fast. Um but certainly we didn't we didn't have a design to a completed piece. Um, I think having a a construction management, you know, you can hire that and we we didn't we discussed that. Maybe that >> Well, I don't I think it's a lot to ask >> some coaches and I know you did a good job involving people, but like people that don't have a construction background or think that way. And then also, you know, I had one coach that, you know, it's like I hate to complain or ask for this because we're getting so much already that it's just like it's like, wow, this is amazing. Like, >> why should I ask for anything more where some of

034the things could have been a little more functional in that? So, like, but I think it's what's best for kids is getting it done before a school year. And if we would have waited six more months, we would have missed half a school year for these kids that are senior this year and never would have got the opportunity to do it, too. have looked at a 5 to 10% increase. You know, that's what they were telling us at the time. So, I I agree with you. I think it was the right thing to do. Um, just learn from these things. >> But I think on future projects, I think, especially if we look at like a common elementary school, I think we need to probably plan it and get a step away for that and

035then revisit with our teachers about what you actually need. And I think in this case, like >> you know, talk about it ahead of time. What do you need? This is the design. Go through a a year of what it would look like if we had this design. And then revisit it, >> you know. So, I'll second JJ. >> I was going to ask a second there, >> but that's fine. Great discussion. >> Very good. >> You know, sometimes you just can't see those changes until it started, too. And Even you're looking at plans, but >> it's it's frustrating, but I don't think >> the change orders that we've had is not it's not been terrible. >> No. >> And if you build a house, I mean, think about like what you get and then

036how many things >> you end up changing. And it's I think for us it's a struggle because we have to be responsible with people's money. It's not our money to spend. And so then it's just like, you know, this is like, oh, $8,000, no big deal. We'll just approve it. But it's still $8,000 of somebody's tax money that Yep. But it's at this point it's just we need to get it done >> and we're still in budget. So I mean you know I mean but going into step eyes wide open I think is >> good >> under budget's always better. >> Yeah. >> All right. We have a motion and a second. Do we have any further discussion? Hearing none. All in favor say I. >> I. Opposed. Change orders approved. >> Uh looking at

037some bus bids. >> Is that where fundraising request? >> No fundraising requests. Sorry. skipped over one. >> Last month we approved um really our our list of fundraising requests. We have two additional requests um that that are valid. Um I'd ask you to consider one's for our high school volleyball team um and one is for Bertha of Godford Godfrey Elementary. Um both things they they've done in the past the things they need you know we we are trying to not fund raise to fund raise. That's a point of emphasis that we've made with all all administration. Um, perfect's got some specific things they're trying to do with some sidewalks and areas around their building and this fundraising um fundraiser would help with that. High school volleyball team some specific needs for some camps and um

038they may need some uniform stuff might have been on there. So, um I would I would uh recommend approval of these two. >> All right. >> I make a motion to approve the additional fundraising. >> Thanks, Andrea. Do we have a second? >> I'll second. >> Thanks, Todd. We have a motion to second. Any further discussion? >> Hearing none. All in favor say I. >> I will say I'll just bring up I got a call and I'm not going to get into specifics. Joe, I talked to you about it fundraising against fundraising and compartmentalizing of like if this group and this fundraising group is doing this to not allow competing fundraisers at the same time would be or competing products I think is something that we have found and um again um we're working through

039some of those delicate things. Um we're very thankful for our the local support that we get in our district and um some of our local businesses are part of fundraising and we want to make sure we are mindful of that. So um you know we we're working through some of these that mentioned and uh that that's something that coach Jacers and I will work with our people a lot in the next year so we can not fund raise against our kids and fundraising against stuff that's going on in our community. Mhm. Good. Good thoughts. All right. Any more discussion? Hearing none, then all in favor say I. >> I. >> Opposed. >> Fundraising request approved. Uh, a couple bus bids. >> Yeah. Hold on. And a little bit more with this, too. So, we had

040three three buses. >> Uh, bus 14. Cole Dods was the high bid. One uh $1,51. Uh Dave Herdman was the high bus for number five, $2,850. We did not have any bids for bus 23. >> If these are going to the to the bus races, I think we should just give them away because that would be [laughter] awesome. >> Well, I think a few of them are going there, possibly. But uh so um I do recommend the approval of those two high bids. Also, I would recommend offering bus number 23 um that did not receive an offer to the first come first serve sale um after this and also uh the first come first come first sale for a Ford Fusion. We have a Ford Fusion um that will not pass DOT inspection. So, we

041can't transport kids with it um which is what it's been used for. So when we get vehicles that are to the point that they can't pass inspection, they have too much rust to pass inspection or something along those lines. So >> say what is it? We can't rust makes sense. >> Their value is is low at that point. >> So do you have a on those bus 23 and that Ford Fusion you have a price or is it just >> or a minimum? >> Um somebody comes and offers >> when the one $50 >> bids. >> Yeah. I mean Yeah. That >> I think we have some people interested. Yeah. Great. >> All right. I will motion to approve the bus bids as well as the first come, first serve offers 23 and >> 23

042and the Ford Fusion as you guys would see fit. >> Second. >> Thank you. We have a motion in a second. Uh any more discussion? >> Okay. Hearing none, all in favor say I. >> I. Opposed. >> Bus bids and first come, first serve approved. Um all right. Uh handbooks. >> Easy handbook here. Um yeah, >> they are we have the actually high school should be no changes. Also middle schools no changes. They're all no changes. We've had a number of changes in the last few years because uh we've had some changes legislatively that we had to make such as um chronic absentee policy last year and bully bullying and harassment definitions.
