I move that we accept, honor, prov of Mr. Rusty Taylor as the Lakeland Joint School District Superintendent. Second. We have a motion and a second. All in favor say I. I. Any opposed? Hearing none, the motion carries. Welcome aboard. Thank you. You are welcome. excited. Excuse me, Trusty Thompson. Jessica was supposed to come back. Oh, yeah. We need as well as our speakers. Well, we do have the little hockey
003puck thing. So, go ahead and bring Jess back in. But thank you for catching up, bro. Thank you. We would have been going on and been like, "Oh, where's Jess? We do have one item that we left out of executive session. We will go back in after the meeting to address it. There she is. You in the bathroom? There's a live band outside my room. Oh, nice. Oh, a live band. Very loud. Well, we can't hear it. That's a bummer. She's hiding in the closet. Okay, so we've come out of executive session. We have made a motion to accept um uh the Mr. Rusty Taylor as the superintendent of the district and he has accepted our offer and we have welcomed him aboard. That is what you missed. All right. Um do we have any
004announcements uh ladies? No, it would just be the regular uh announcements for regular meeting. Oh, thank you. Yes. I would like to remind everyone that these board meetings are business board meetings held in public and not public board meetings. The board is governed by Idaho code title 74 and title 33 chapter 5 Idaho administrative procedures act or IDA and follows the district policies. Do we um have any other announcements which so the two of you know uh we like to Oh no, those are accolades not announcements. Never mind. I do. They usually happen about the same time in the in the agenda. If there's We want to hear what's going on within our district, all the successes our schools are having, um, our students, um, anything because it's important to let our community know that
005we see them, we hear them, and we appreciate them. That's great. Um, do we have any public input? No. Okay. Sweet. Moving on to the financial report. Uh, do we have any questions, comments, or concerns on the financial report? Jess, I do want to clarify for the public um because there is a budgeted amount and then our year-to-ate amount which is uh significantly uh over what we experienced that is because of the payments we've received on the school modernization fund. Is that correct? Are you talking about the general fund or Yes, within the general fund. Um, so we are still anticipating some additional revenue. Um, and we do have some transfers that need to be made. So, we need to move out all the Medicaid expenses into the fund 260. Um, and then there's some
006other transfers that will take place along with that. Okay. Okay. So, where we're sitting with a $19 million overage, you're telling me some of that's going to go away on revenues and expenses because our year-to- date budget is 61,355 373. Currently, our year-to-ate uh funds is 79,586 646. So, I'm just trying to clarify why. Yes. Okay. You're looking at the as a whole. Yes, correct. As a whole, that also does include all other funds. So, yeah, correct. Not just general funding. Yeah. I want to make sure it's out in the public why it's that way. Yes. So, all funds. Yes. Um, with the 19 million that we received from the state, um, that's an appropriated fund balance. So, yes, that's why it's over. Perfect. Because we did not have that information when the budget was
007made last year. Perfect. Thank you. Does anybody have any other comments or questions on the monthly benefit? I do not. Okay, thank you Jessica. We're going to move on uh to the consent agenda. We have the minutes of the previous meetingings 521 regular board meeting, 5:30 special meeting, and 6:11 special board meeting. We have the minutes of the subcommittee meetings to be accepted. Um and the HR items. Uh do we have any conversation that needs to be had on um Okay. on the uh minutes of the previous meeting. I do not. No, I do not. Okay. Anything that needs to be had on the minutes of the subcommittee meetings? Nope. Okay. Those will be accepted. Um anything on the HR items? I do not. Okay. Anything on the regular and special bills? I think I
008did have something. No. which again, Jessica, I want to thank you for the new format. It's it's great. Thank you. Oh, no. I don't want anything. So, I would move to approve the consent agenda as posted. Second. We have a motion and a second. All in favor say I. I. I. Any opposed? Hearing none, the motion carries. Moving on to old business, we have the class size review. Um, so you all are aware, we do review the class sizes quarterly. Last time we reviewed was in April. So this is a reflection of where we were at at the end of the year. Some of these classes were pretty cool. Mhm. especially at full elementary. But what can you do? Hire additional teachers. There's always a solution. How we'll pay them is a different story. Mhm.
009Um does anybody have any conversation we need to hold on the class size review? Okay. Um, we do have the financial followup. 18.3% increase. Yes. So, uh, Jessie Grant, I'm chief finance officer. Um, as the board may recall earlier this spring, we were notified that I crimp um was no longer covering through Morton and Company. Um at that time with the information that we were given we were anticipating around an 8% increase. Unfortunately the company that uh Morton was working with uh over promised and underd delivered. So they had to go back out for additional coverage um options um which resulted in an 18.3% increase on our liability property and cyber security coverage. I will say that the coverage is quite a bit more robust than what we can get through iCrimp currently. Um we
010were also told that the increase is comparable to what other ICRIP um insured districts um users were experiencing and I'm trying to validate that information at this time. Okay. I'd be happy I will bring to the next meeting um I didn't have it in for the board packet but I will bring to the next meeting um the coverage comparisons between what we had previously and what this new coverage provides any of the conversation we need to have on the financial followup. No, I should say. I actually I was a little bit curious on the board of education line items. the legal ad for the concrete project that is down in purchased services whereas all the rest of them are up with um it just needs to be moved. Um I apologize. I'll make sure that
011happens. Okay. Thank you. Just wanted to make sure that that was consistent. Agreed. Um, and I apologize. I just realized that I did sneak in the coverage difference um into this packet. So, you do have that information for the uh insurance coverage. Do you know what page that was on? Um, it's actually pages uh two two through Oh, the is the ISBA. Okay. Yeah, that's the coverage differences that Morton was able to give us. Okay. Um, so it shows what our expiring coverage was and what the the renewal and the expiring. Okay. Y So you can see that we're actually covered quite a bit more um with this. Uh we one of the things that Morton had a hard time with with I crimp is that the cost was going up but the coverage was
012going down. So for example if you look at gym floor water damage deductible um with the renewal of the new company it's $10,000. Um with uh I crimp it would have been 20% of the loss. Um there's some other significant things in here. Um, for example, um, the property in course of construction and additions, that's um, $25 million in coverage where with I crimp, it's only $2.5 million in coverage. So, it actually provides greater coverage for the district in some of the areas that we could experience some loss that um, ICRIP has been slowly decreasing over the years. Um, we do get to retain our relationship with um gonna have to ask Broo because I just drew a blank on uh it's Amy Amy White Anderson Julian and Paul um that that relationship for legal
013is still there um with this new coverage. Okay. Um they did say that they do anticipate that the rates will stabilize um with this new company. Do we have any anybody else that we have a a quote from? Um, not at this time. Unfortunately, as we discussed, this came so late in the game. Um, all of this information, even with Wharton, this is way later than we have ever received um, renewal packets from them. Typically, it's before we even do the budget hearing. Um, we have reached out, like I said, to another broker to see. Um, but we that would require us out to go out to bid. Um, and at this point with our coverage starting on July 1st, the timing of it is extremely unfortunate. Um, we could go out to bid still.
014um see what else we could get and potentially cancel the coverage. But I do recommend that we move forward with this renewal at this time so that we are covered as of July 1st. IC Crimp has dropped all of Morton's um clients. We received that letter from them back in April. I realize that it is late in the game, but I I don't see the harm in going out to bid to see if I mean because we're taking an 18.3% increase, right? And I don't have a problem doing that. I just would like us to have coverage after July 1st. Um I can't get an RFP out for insurance um before we have to have coverage. Can you I mean would you be able to find out the consequence if we did accept the insurance
015and then terminated it? Yes, I will reach out to Chad. Yeah, because business is Yeah, the penalty for I actually will see him at this conference that I'm at. So, I will be able to talk to him in person. Perfect. Cool. Thank you. Anything more on the financial followup? I just want to verify that the payments that we have paid to Lions and Lions Odow for the Emirick project that those are reimbursible from the payment bond. We're working on making that claim right now. Okay. Um so we're actually asking for Lions Odow and any additional architecture fees um as well as submitting warranty claims. We've had some issues. Tim would be able to speak to those as well. our facilities director. We've had some warranty work issues that we're working with Architects West to um
016get remedied um within the warranty period. Uh so we should be able to be reimbursed for those expenses as well. Okay. That's all I have. Bob, do you have anything? Okay. Thank you, Jessica. Thank you, Jessica. Thank you. Moving on to the facilities update. Tim Heg, facilities director. Let's see here. Uh, going back to what Jessica was talking about, we do have, uh, some warranty issues with the fascia paint at Spirit Lake Elementary and Athl Elementary. Okay. It's actually coming off of the metal pretty bad. Wow. Same with uh Lakeland Middle School, but it's beyond the warranty period. Okay. So, I'm working with the painters to see if they'll warranty their work. Otherwise, we'll get other bids and we'll go back after the bond for it. Okay. How are things going in facilities? They're going
017uh it's a struggle right now. I'll be honest. Uh we're down a body right now. We have a requisition out to hire a new person. Okay. Um we've lost a lot of custodial throughout the district. Spirit Lake Elementary does not have a custodian at this time. Okay. uh that is also out. Uh we're going to start interviewing next week to fill these two open positions. Uh we're we're struggling. Uh our manpower is down and there's a lot going on. June was not kind to us with no rain, so we're chasing brown spots and grass and fixing toilets. I noticed the high school's gotten pretty brown. What's the situation with that? So, if you go in the main entrance of the high school, there's that spot that's brown right between the baseball field and the main
018parking lot. The irrigation is not hooked up there. The city had set a new meter in that area that controls that whole area. Okay. That's actually in uh last year's budget to put some irrigation in that system that's above the tennis courts and below the bathrooms, right? Uh I have to put in a backflow pre. Okay. Which is about 5600. Okay. Uh so July 1st, we'll put in that requisition which is Tuesday. Okay. And get that out there. And then we're going to do the irrigation in that system, that area right there. And then the area that's between the baseball field and the parking lot, that has sprinkler heads in it, but it was disconnected because it was hooked up to that irrigation line. Oh. So we can't run it until we get a backflow
019preveter now. Before it was just a straight line. Okay. And then they metered it. So we can't get this backflow until July July 1 because of the PO system in the end of the fiscal year and because we can't physically have the backflow pretor before the end of the month. So we have to do the PO for next fiscal year using the funds that are already allocated for it. But from this year for this year. Yeah. This is out of plant facility living funds. Um the the budget for this that Tim's referring to um if they were able to get the product here before June 30th, we would absolutely move forward with it within this fiscal year. But because it is not going to arrive until next fiscal year, um that's why they're able to
020order it. It just won't be here until next fiscal year. What is uh our facilities uh what's your budget like? There isn't one. You don't have a budget for facilities plant. There's no plan facilities levy. But we have a department. So, we have Jessica probably answer this better than me, but um we've actually been working diligently to try to figure out where we're going to get money for certain things. Okay. So there's, you know, money to for emergency building repairs that I think are left over from last year, but going forward, there's no plant facilities budget. TI does have a general fund budget, and we um through the budget hearing, we did transfer some additional funds in from the uh school modernization fund interest to help supplement his budget for next year in the general
021fund, knowing that we were not going to have a plant facility levy this year. Okay. So, you do have a budget that you're managing. It's well, Jessica and I are working together on that. It's basically our supplies, emergency repairs, things like that. So, there won't be any capital expenditures. Okay. But then the modernization funds, we will be working with that for some of the major upgrades like the HVAC systems, electrical, okay, sidings, windows, doors, things like that. But his budget this year is over spent. So, they've been put on a pause unless it's an emergency. Um, trying to be as responsible as possible to not continue to overspend. Um, Tim inherited that budget halfway through the year. Um, I anticipate with his diligence next year that we will be more on track. Okay. It would
022be good to see what their budget is. I don't think the board It's on the general fund um in the monthly financials uh for this year under uh see it's under building, maintenance, student occupied and maintenance grounds. Um, that's where the bulk of their funding lies. Um, they also, like I said, like Tim alluded to, they do have plant facility levy funds that they utilize for uh bigger projects that will it's maintenance that it lasts longer than a year. Um, granted, this is for this year. Um, but I could refer you back to the budget hearing packet that has the proposed budget for them that was approved for next year as well. Um, and there was an increase in there. Okay, thank you. Uh, since we're on the the subject of last year's money, um,
023bring up the carpet at Betty Kefir, right? So, we've been working diligently to get the best price we can. We found that we have a contract through Sourcewell, which is a nationwide program. Um that Mohawk, we can buy the carpet directly through their Sourcewell contract. Okay. Uh which is the best price, but it will be about 250,000 and I think we only hadund something in the budget. Jessica, that is correct. We only have 100 uh per the previous facilities director's recommendation for the line item for that project. $100,000 was budgeted. Um there is some other funds available, not available, but that were line items for continuation of carpet projects in other areas. If we were able to pull that and pull the um BCT tile for the the cafeterias, we would be able to complete
024all of Betty Keeper. Um, but that would take the board directing us to make that adjustment. Well, if you can bring all that information forward, we would be able to give direction. That would be great. Unfortunately, I didn't have the total cost for this one um before the board was due. Okay. But we just wanted to bring it up to the board now, but we'll have everything lined out for you for the next meeting so we can have a action item on it. Perfect. Because um if we don't get on it, we won't get We're running out of time. Exactly. Exactly. Not just labor, but materials. Right. Where are you on the middle school work? They're doing the demo on the rooms now. You talk referring to the carpet. Well, in the gym. Oh, the
025gym. Yes. Thank you. Actually, have that written down here. So, they've demoed the the bleachers completely. We've got everything prepped. Um, I have an email here that the the bleachers will be here between July and August. So, they will be installed before school starts. Uh, the flooring is still scheduled to get completely redone. They're restriping everything. So, it'll be a nice new gym when they come back in September. And then concrete is going there as well. They dropped their equipment off, so that'll be their next demo site. included in that concrete work. Uh is the modification to the entry at like the middle school part of the concrete work? No. So the concrete work is going to take place as was bid out and then the modifications to the entrance is still in the works
026with the city. Uh I have a meeting with the chief of police to go over that as well. And then is not ISP but ID. Yeah. Thank you. Um to just clarify where the crosswalks are going and so forth, but the concrete that we're putting in, we're not going to have to take back out. So, we're not going to destroy what we put in. So, it's just kind of a get that clarified and then we'll have to add to so we can close that area off. Go ahead. That is still moving forward. The budget for that project for the new entrance was part of the school modernization plan that was presented as part of the budget hearing and it was approved as part of the budget hearing. So we do have some funding outlined in
027that um for that uh new entrance exit the concrete replacement project precon complete scheduled to begin at mid June. They started. Okay. Yes. So they Well, the re I'm just bringing it up because everything else has a building identified, but I don't see LHS on here for concrete. Oh, did I not put it on there? So, I asked the concrete company to wait till after Rum Days before they do any demo work over at LHS. So, they're forming up on the other three schools, Apple, Spirit Lake, Garwood. Yeah. All right. Please tell me it will be done before school starts. Absolutely. Preferably before August when football people come. They have a deadline I believe of August 252nd or 25th. Okay. And then they hit liquidated damages. So hopefully we're just dealing with punch list items
028at that point in time. Perfect. Thank you. Yes. And we are testing all the sprinkler systems before they pour the concrete. That's a good That's a good plan. Good plan. Do we have anything else on that? Yeah, I I guess I don't understand why we have unbudgeted projects to consider. I thought we were not going to be doing that anymore and that what was put in the budget was or everything that was going to be needed was going to be included in the budget. Are you looking at my update? Trusty Bane, I think that was just a carryover from a previous We'll make sure to update the format going forward. That's my fault. I got stuck out on the concrete and I forgot to update this before the board packet went out. Okay. Thank you.
029No, we're not getting anything in there. I was like, I don't want to see all these nickel and dimes coming every month. Needs to be in the budget. Um, yeah, there's I'll take that out for the next meeting. Okay, that's more of my notes. Perfect. Cool. Thank you. All right. Anything else on facilities? Perfect. All right. Thank you very much. Moving on to new action, new business action items. We have the supplemental curriculum. Do we need to have any conversation on this? I do not. I would move to approve as presented. Second. We have a motion and a second. All in favor say I. I. Any opposed? Hearing none, the motion carries. Moving on to board policy, we have the miscellaneous procurement standards, the use and disposal of school property, the self-directed learner procedure, and
030the evaluation of certified personnel. Um, I will state that 7,400 and 9100 uh were uh prepared by Jessica and then we were brought them to the board and then we had to take them back because there needed to be some cleaning up of language. So, Jessica and I did sit and work on that on her birthday. I would like to add I did suggest we cancel. She said no. So it was just me and Jessica, but happy belated birthday again. Um the used or the self-directed learner procedure, I was not involved on that. Um, but we did want to improve uh the procedure to allow self-directed learner to be um more of an accessible program for our kiddos. And then the evaluation of certified uh personnel, I was not involved on that. Um however, it's
031my understanding that Dr. Paslay and um I believe Shannon Loveland, maybe Shannon Writer, I don't know. There were some administrators that sat in on it just to they did um the previous policy was see there's no page numbers not on here but what they did was they went through our current policy and realized how much of the policy did not actually apply with how and what we do what we do. So I've always been a firm believer just write the policy with what we do. Um we don't need legal jargon etc. So they did that. Um, thank you for your work on that. Do we have any questions, comments? Move to approve uh 7,400 9100 247 P 5340. Second. We have a motion and a second. All in favor say I. I any opposed hearing?
032None. The motion carries. Moving on to the copier contract. You're saving us money, Jessica. I'm doing my best. I really am. Um, my apologies. Did we skip over the supplemental curriculum? No, we didn't skip over it. it. Yeah, we didn't have discussion. I apologize. I missed it. It's okay. It was fast. And these are like for like machines comparison. Um they're a newer version. Uh our machines are at the end of their useful life. Um so that's why we did go out to bid for them. We were on a 5year lease previously. Um this is replacing that 5-year lease with the service. Uh, and then our paper cut, which is like our copier tracking slashrelease um system that we have in place. Um, it will save us about $11,000 a year over and about $54,000
033over the next 5 years. So, um, I do I would like to recommend that we move forward with this so that we have appropriate machines in all the appropriate places. And when can they be delivered? They will be delivered before school starts. Uh we this was supposed to be heard last week. Um so I'm still hoping that they can meet that deadline. Um I will prioritize the schools over other buildings um to ensure that they're in before school starts, but we're out behind right now. Okay. I would move to approve as presented for the cost of 58212 that the cost. Yes. Second. Yes. Actually, no. It's 53937 is the savings. Yeah, it's the 58212 is the contract. Okay, perfect. All right, so we have a motion and a second. All in favor say I. I.
034Any opposed? Hearing none, the motion carries. Thank you. You are welcome. Moving on to the year returning year round exempt salaried employees. Hi Cunningham, director of HR. So, I typically would bring these with uh the directors, but last time it said just directors. And that salary schedule we changed now just includes exempt employees. These people um are July rollovers. So, I had to get them to you so I can get them paid in July. Move to approve as presented. Second. We have a motion and a second. All in favor say I. I. Any opposed? Hearing none, the motion carries. Okay. At the last meeting, um, since the negotiated agreement, uh, was not passed, you asked there was intent language on how to place initial people when they get here. And boy, that's been a lot
035of fun. Um especially because with this new state um career ladder mandate um I have out of state people that are coming in but before I can issue them a contract I have to have the state place them. So I've I've also found um I don't like if I have all of their stuff except with the exception from the state placing them. I would like to be able to also maybe add some language at some point in time. I don't know if we you do this when we go through the negotiated agreement that I have a placeholder salary uh for those folks that I can issue them a contract and then I would update their contract once I know where the state has placed them. This has been a lot of fun. But what's the
036time delay in between those two? It it's just it's hard to tell with the state. It's just hard to tell with, you know, like right now they're kind of running a little slow because they're trying to get out that July check and stuff. So, their whole finance team is working on that. And so, it just it depends on the time of year. So, but I'm and that's what I'm having to do right now is with this new salary schedule, I'm having to issue two contracts for, you know, some people just because of the fact I don't know um where they're going to be placed on the 25 26 career ladder until I get confirmation from them. And usually I can figure that out in August. So, how would you propose that we do a a
037placeholder? How would that work? Yeah. So I mean I would say at least um at the maybe the R3 I don't know um rung because at at the very minimum. So, let's say if they have, you know, if they have five years of out of state experience, I'm pretty confident that the state is going to allow me to put them at a P1, at least that, but I just don't know until they say yes because they also check when I issue what's called form 10 to the state. They also check to make sure that the schools that they are coming from are accreditated and everything. So, they have their homework to do. How problematic uh is this problem uh with respect to actually getting teachers on contract? In other words, you you can't tell them
038what their real salary is going to be. So, they have to do something on faith. So, you know, and so I mean, I just would like to be able to have like a a minimum placement established. So, if we're running into September and the state still hasn't gotten back to me, I can pay them something and then we retro back whatever um that where the state pays them. My question is are are people willingly accepting that kind of a process? Well, so as far as our uh new people so far of onboarding, um we have not had uh this conversation. They've been asking me where they anticipate they could land and my response has been, you know, just from a guess, I think this is what you'll be here, but until I know from the
039state, I don't know for sure. That's weird. So, in order to get them signed up, you have to issue a contract. I would like some number. I would like to issue a contract with some number. And then the caveat, if the state put places you hire, we'll reissue another contract. And your suggestion of the slot that they would fall into, I would say at least, you know, it just depends. I mean, it's really kind of hard. I I hate to say that cell one when I know that they have out of state experience. I can maybe say, you know, like Jake has it open here that maybe it's just that R3 for now if they, you know, just depending if they only have, you know, it's it's it's really tricky. 52 for 20. Yeah. So,
040we need on the books to authorize HR lady to issue contracts based on that information apparently. Sounds like can I ask a question? Sure. Is there anything that can be verified ahead of the state placing teachers on their career letter? I mean, yeah, we do verification of experiences. Um, and when our verification of experience has come back, um, I have a pretty good idea. But now, before where we used to say if you had between 8 and 10 years of experience, we placed you in cell four. Well, that's not what this is based off of now. And so, it makes it a little bit trickier on that. I mean, I'll get back their VOE's and and have some sort of an idea, but again, I just won't know exact until the state lets me know.
041And and you're just talking about if somebody comes in with say five years of experience. So, this this wouldn't be a blanket workound for all of them. It would just be I'm looking for a minimum placeholder. Does it apply only to out of state people? No. No. I mean, well, yeah, kind of because instate, if I have people coming in from instate, they've already been placed on the career ladder. So, yes, this has to do with getting um out of state experience on the books to get them placed on the Idaho career ladder. So, are you not confident enough um and I do not mean this disrespectfully whatsoever, right? To make the determination of what cell you think they should go in that that is why you're asking us for direction. Well, I mean, or
042to make the natural. I I could definitely do that. I just don't know want to go outside of, you know, like the parameters and I want to be able to tell people that this is where I'm supposed to place you. And when they say, "Well, I have 10 years of experience." But, you know, the state hasn't verified everything yet. So, I don't know. Yeah. You don't want to place them at a higher level and end up having to cut it back. Exactly. I don't want to take back somebody saying, "You have to pay us back that money." So, it's giving you teeth to say, "I can't give you more than this right now." Right. Yeah. However, if an out ofstate person comes in with two years, why would you start them on salary? Right. Exactly.
043I'm just saying, you know, maybe you do an R1, maybe you have them at that step one. So, I'm just I'm definitely looking for I wouldn't I mean, I don't see the harm in starting at R1 so that it's clear and consistent for all incoming employees. That's kind of how I with an understanding that you have that conversation saying, look, I'm going to issue a contract here. The caveat is once the state does its thing, they're going to let me know where I should place you. So you would see an increase and that increase would be retroactive. Is there a statement on the contract that indicates that adjustment forthcoming? Um trustee Jones on the language for the salary schedule that you guys are viewing right now. It does have that language on the salary schedule
044itself that they'll be placed at that rung in that out of state workers will be placed by the state items on the career letter. It's not specific on the contract. Sorry to jump in, Brooke. Um, but I do think that the language that's being proposed here does cover what we're talking about. So, if it's not standard on the issued contract, I do believe there is a place that you could add the language um for the contracts. I mean, I'd get flown out with copy and paste. Um, to where, you know, at least someone knows worst case scenario is the cell one, but based on your years of experience and expertise, you're going to you're going to jump. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah. Okay. No, that's f I mean, that's fine. I just I I I would
045say I mean I'm going to look at it from the standpoint of the person coming in from out of state and I'm interested in a position here and you offer one at a base salary level. What guarantee do I have that some point in the future unknowing there will be an adjustment to my contract if there isn't something in the contract or an addendum to the contract that so states yeah there should be an addendum to the contract that's what I believe and we can definitely craft that addendum I mean we're we're asking of a leap of faith for someone coming in right and you know we need to do everything we can to guarantee that we'll follow through Okay. No, we can for sure craft an indent to the contract. Okay. So then do
046you need us to take action on Yeah, because you had me put that intent language on the salary schedule instead of in the negotiated agreement. So if you could take action on that, I would greatly appreciate it. I would move to approve the certified salary schedule language as presented. There is language presented. Yeah, it is. It's right here at the bottom of the Yeah, it's all this that was added. Oh, that that was added before when we No, no, that was on your new language. That was on the negotiated agreement and because I have to start placing people and we don't have an active negotiated agreement. You guys asked me to put that language on the salary schedule. Okay. So stating the new hires from out of state will be placed by the state of
047Idaho on the career ladder is sufficient language given that you want us to say well and I and I can if that's on there then I can I'll do an addendum to their contract stating you know this is where we're going to place you for now but then based off of your placement state. So we have second. Could you clarify your motion? The motion is to approve this language as presented and to allow Brooke to do an addendum to contracts for out of state for out of state individuals. Perfect. So we have a motion and a second. Correct. All in favor say I. I. Any opposed? Hearing none the motion carries. So, on the next one, um, when I presented the classified salary schedule, um, there is a and Kelsey Badger is going to be
048here, but there is a camera. Oh, she good. Kelsey, come on up. Kelsey Badger, federal programs director. Um, so I noticed that the RBT was not added. Um, registered behavior technician was not added to the classified salary matrix. This is what we've been talking to you about um, for over a year. We're training some of our pair professionals um to take a behavior uh course. Um it's 40 hours and so it's under the direction of our BCBAS. Um after the course is completed, they have to have 30 hours of supervision. After that is done, they have to take a nationally board certified um test. Um and then they can be an RBT. It's an a term that's used pretty frequent. Um and so RBT is used frequently. Registered behavior technician education Bob in education it's
049used yes and outside actually outside services too um so a lot of our outside services northstar they all use um RBT um personnel and do um ABA therapy and stuff like that so yes it is it is a term we use often um so yeah so we have now moving forward we've been working with um um personnel now this year they've taken the test. Um hopefully we'll get results soon to see if they've passed. Hopefully that is the case. They can retake it. If not, um and we will need to place them um appropriately on that salary matrix. Brooke, how do you determine which column they fall into as determination? So I did not determine that. Um so well, lots of conversation on this. So, um, paraprofessionals, if you could pull it up, I could
050read the columns, but paraprofessionals is one column. Behavior specialist. Behavior specialist is someone with a bachelor's degree either in education or behavior um, psychology. And thank you, um, Mr. Massie. Um, and so then it was in it was in between then. Um, uh, this is someone that does not have to have a a bachelor's degree. pair of professionals are in B and the BI specialists are in E. BI specialists do need to have bachelor's degree, right? No, I understand that. Do we pay for their training to take this test and get certified? So um what we did uh so yes in a way let me explain um so the training the course is free we were able to find a free course it took us some time to find one um so we were able
051to um find a course for them to take um and so what we did during the summer of the time was work with them during their hours that they're already logged for um not exceeding the 40 not exceeding their daily pay or whatever the six and a or whatever their hours or whatever. So, we figured that out over the summer. Um, and so we did that time. We met with them. Well, I didn't personally meet with them, but our BCBAS met with them. Does that make sense? Okay. No. So, the question was, did we pay for their training and their certification? What you're saying is we didn't pay for training because we found a free program. Did we pay for their certification? If they had to go over their c their hours or whatever the
052certification from the state, they have to pay. So they have to go to the testing site and they pay that on the own just like we would have to pay for our testing or our our license moving forward. They have to pay for the test. Everything else is has been built inhouse. Okay. They were paid on district time. Yeah. Right. To do the training. I understand. Yeah. So yes, we did pay for their training. Okay. Different question on the matrix we're looking at across the line there for salaries has a sub rate. Does that indicate that's new? No, that that has been on the salary schedule for several years. Why is it red? Just because it's a sub rate. It's for a substitute. Like if somebody in there Yeah. It's not a step. Well, the
053the other label is red also. That's why I'm asking. Yeah. Oh, and that the other making sure that they don't correlate. It's not new. The only thing different is you know that position. Okay. Sorry. Sorry. Move to approve. I would I would feel better about putting them in in row C instead of row D or column C instead of column D. Is there a reason you chose column D? Um so Jessica and I worked about that. So sorry I just have to look at this again. Um so Jessica and I work when we were looking there. Um, so just from a C doesn't really fit in with anyone that is in working with students. So it was just kind of like bumped to admin assistance at the desk. Base site coordinator obviously is running the
054base and um in charge of people obviously had consorting library leads and so we felt like the one-on- ones to move over to that. So when Jessica and I spoke, we just felt like this was the better column that was appropriate for them that wouldn't over succeed their BI specialist. My my concern is 40 40 hours of training and then they have to have they have to have Yes. monthly they have to have five supervision hours compared to a BI specialist. So my concern is I don't think that they sit closer to a BI specialist that has to have a bachelor's degree than they do a paraprofessional that doesn't have a bachelor's degree. So that's why I would put them in column C. Just because column C doesn't have other people that are in a
055classroom doesn't mean that we can't put I don't disagree with that. I do know just the majority of our uh BI specialists that we do have in the district, they are certified teachers that weren't able to find a job or no longer want a teaching job and are now a BI BI specialist. They qualify because they have a certificate. They didn't qualify because you actually met and went through extensive training to be a BI specialist. So that term on this salary matrix is a little gray, but it requires a bachelor's, right? A lot of our teachers go through that, right? Or or or some of like you could have a counseling degree, but because human services. Yeah. Because it has so yes, it is. people have went through schooling to get um a bachelor's degree
056and do understand that takes more but RBTs they're actually specifically wanting to work with our most at risk children. Some of our BI specialists are instructional paras. Well, then if that's the case, why are we pay we why do we have them three three columns ahead because they're certified and they meet the criteria. Well, then I wouldn't discount that by saying that they're just instructional paras, right? These RBT these RBT um personnel are working in our life skills classroom. So, they are working on our most at risk students. We don't think about that. Yeah, but the reasoning of why we chose column D over column C, I think, is silly. They really do. Um, how many of those positions will you have? Um, so there will be a cap because our BCBAS can only observe
057can only have so many underneath them and currently, um, we have two. So there will be a cap. We can only have six right now. So there's we're hoping that the three will have it. So we'll have three and then we'll do more training and have more. Um but yeah, so as of right now there's a cap. Um and also I believe the current paras that are in that position right now um of where they are on the salary matrix to where they would move over to have a certification was also taken into play and they'll be working in the life skills or all these ones are. Yeah, we first started in one particular elementary school to to get that set and once that's settled down, we'll move to another. What certifications do the the
058hats that are in column B have they required to have certifications? No. With the exception of obviously a bus driver. Um Oh, and D. Yeah, indeed. Oh, sorry. Um, you said B, did I? Yeah, my bad. I don't think they require any certification. Okay. No. Do you still is your motion stand? Well, yes. And my my reasoning is when you think about the job these people have to do and who they're working with and some of the situations they encounter. Some say hardly enough, but I agree with you on that. I respectfully though um I think our instructional parents are often put in positions to work with the most difficult children and we're starting them out at 1622. So that bothers me that because we've paid for someone to get a certificate, you know, they
059get to jump at the head of the line when we're still going to require the instructional pair of professionals um to do the dirty work, so to speak, with the students that are difficult. You know, I don't disagree with that. That's a different issue. I mean, if we want to make a change to that, then we should deal with that separately. I think um also these um are working directly with Medicaid students. And so, I just looked up the Medicaid um billing rate because that was also another reason why um Idaho has recognized RBT so we can reimburse for um every 15 minutes they're working with this child. So potentially we could it's a range from 21 to $24 that we'll be able to get reimbured back from them. Okay, I'll second Bob's motion. We
060have a motion and a second. All in favor say I. I. Any opposed? Nay. Two in favor, one opposed. Motion carries. Thank you. You are welcome. Okay, we are down to the TCI quote. This is the social studies curriculum. If I can, this is a secondary social studies curriculum uh that Dr. has been working on with our social studies teachers for over a year. About a year and a half. I'm I'm just curious. Um, again, not being disrespectful, did we not consider where we were going to get the money for this curriculum before we headed down this path given that now we're wanting to move money from here to there and and everywhere. We have a curriculum budget. We received money from the state for curriculum. Uh, Chair Thompson, the amount of money we received
061from the state is very minimal. In fact, the state went to, for lack of a better term, a hunger games model for that digital content and curriculum money that we receive. Um, so we have to submit a request at 8 a.m. on July 1st to hopefully be one of the first people to get our request in to receive any funding and we're capped at $50,000 for curriculum at the state. Um, ideally if the legislative session would have went more in the K12 favor, there hopefully would have been some money there. Additionally, with the cut to the levy funds, we did have curriculum money in the levy previously. We do not have curriculum in the levy this time around. Um, so unfortunately there just wasn't enough funding to go around to fit this in this year.
062Um, which is why I'm offering a proposed funding plan. Um if the board would like to forward with this purchase um at the curriculum are we able to pour to pull more interest from the school modernization fund? Yes. So it would uh the initial interest transfer that was approved in the budget at the budget hearing um was what we currently have acred so far this year for interest. I do anticipate that we'll be able to acrue um what we're looking at here, especially if we use that kind of combination of funding um to be able to transfer that additional interest without a problem. Uh what I noted on here, the state recently um provided at the last webinar on June 4th that we are able to use that interest revenue like we did lottery funding
063and lottery funding was allowed to be spent on salaries and benefits. We did receive that clarification in writing as well. So I'm confident in moving forward that we can use that school modernization interest to offset facilities salaries and benefits which would then free up general fund funding for this purchase. The scuttle about the 6% hold back is that coming off of the school modernization funding? that is not um it will not impact the school modernization funding. That funding was um that was a bond issuance. So the the funds that we received were proceeds from a bond. So I'm not concerned about the school modernization fund. What I am concerned about is the FY26 general fund. Um I actually met uh I recently was elected to the IASBO board. Um, so the ILSO board works directly
064with the state department of education and so we had a meeting this evening and discussed what holdbacks would look like. Um, I'm hoping that they don't touch salary based aortionment. Um, in the past when they've done this, it's been off the discretionary funding. So things like the college and career advisors, uh, professional development, dyslexia funding, those all might be things that might be impacted if we have holdbacks. Um, my understanding from the email that went out from the state last week at this time They're not asking for any pullbacks for this current fiscal year and they're looking at what that looks like for the legislative session in the spring for the FY27 budget. However, we were asked to brainstorm what a 2% 4% 6% hold back would look like um and what would be palatable.
065Not that any of it would be palatable. Um that districts could potentially live without um literacy. There's many pots they could take it from. That's not statutory funding. Um the the thought is that if the board of examiners at the state can reduce budgets that are not outlined in statute, then they would not have to bring the state legislature back to vote on it. So that's kind of the guidance we've been giving right now. However, what is in writing from the state is at this time. They're not looking at any holdbacks for this year, but we're not meeting the revenue projections that the state. The state's not meeting its revenue projections. So I'm a little bit concerned on where that's going to lead us. Um, another couple. Okay. As my understanding, secondary does not have
066the social studies curriculum. Yeah, the last full adoption was in 2006. Okay. Um believe we had a partial adoption for a government class in 2010. Okay. But regardless, that's that's a long time ago. That is a long time. Yeah, we do we do have social studies classrooms around the district that have piloted this for the last year or so. Um that committee that worked with Dr. Pasley is very confident that this would be a worthwhile investment. This would be something where we could purchase it and and live with it for quite a while. Yeah. Nobody's questioning whether it's worthwhile. It's how you pay for it. Right. So Jessica, in your write up, you had item C, which was transfer 335,000 for the school modernization fund. Do you see that as still plausible? Yes, I do.
067as long as um with the way that the projects are going to roll out, the majority of the school modernization fund projects will hit next spring uh summer. So, we'll have almost the whole year to acrew interest on that. Um the LGIP rates have been going down, but they've been fairly consistent. Um so, we're we're generating quite a bit of interest every month right now on that 20 million that's in there. So, what have we acrewed so far in just the couple months that we've we've we will have enough to transfer the 315 that we put into the budget hearing um in the sixish months that we've had the funding um in our possession. um rem reminding you that we received part a portion of it uh end of December and the rest didn't come
068until I think end of February, early March. Um so we were able to acrew enough interest in that time to do that $315,000 transfer that we had built into the budget. So I'm confident that we should be able to get to the 335 fully if we if that's what we would like to do um with the federal force funds. not uh again they told us that not to anticipate any revenue for that. If we were able to clear that account out um that would be one less account to track and report on. So selfishly that would be a nice thing to do. But um I I think any of the combinations that we have on here would be appropriate. What do we typically use the federal forest funds for? Uh onetime purchases because it's not
069guaranteed funding. So um we do use 8,000 of it for our CTE um the help that we get from Kobe Matella for our CT packets um for the federal funding. Um, but we would have to build that into the general fund going forward. Um, after if after the funds are expended, but we would have to find a spot for that anyway because we're we're potentially no longer getting any federal forest funds going forward, right? But that's typically been used for just a one-time oneoff nonrecurring expense. And the total cost on this is the the 330,000 451. Yes. I I round it up just to be safe. I would only transfer what we absolutely needed to pay for it. I uh I would move that we move forward with the adoption and purchase of the social
070studies curriculum utilizing the school modernization transfer components as appropriate for the purchase be interest correct. Yes. Okay. So leaving leaving the board approved projects fund and the forest funds out of it. Leave them alone. I'll second. We have a motion and a second. All in favor say I. I. Any opposed? Hearing none. The motion carries. Thompson. Yeah. Just to clarify. I could hear very well. I apologize. Um, did we specify that we're moving it to cover salaries and benefits so that we could free up general fund to make the purchase? Um, I just wanted to be very clear to the public and that we're using the funds from the interest to support facilities because that is all we can use it for. We can't use the funds from the interest to purchase the curriculum. So,
071I just wanted to make sure that was clear. Correct. As as presented in in letter C on your memo. Perfect. Thank you so much. I apologize I couldn't hear. So we have theou from the University of Idaho. This is a recurring so that they can do student teaching. Right. Correct. I'll move to approve. Sure. Motion in a second. All in favor say I. I. Any opposed? Hearing none. The motion carries. Moving on to the city of Rathro memo. Um this longstanding Hey, we have signatures. Um So, it's signed off on by the city, it looks like. Mhm. And thisou would be for the upcoming school year, not the previous school year that it was written for. So, we're going to have to send it back to the the city of Rather anyway because we haven't
072we've we have officially um accepted the hire of our new superintendent and this has leis it we're going to have to get new signatures. I mean, I would approve it with those changes. Um I'll I will move to approve with the changes of it being for the to go into effect this year. Oh, yeah. This says the 25th day of June, correct? 2025. Okay. Yep. But it'll have to go with our new superintendent's name on it. You don't think we could just line the name out? Yeah. Oh, yeah. We could do that. Yeah, that's fine, too. Okay. Your first official. [Laughter] Well, I mean, I suppose maybe he should read through theou. I did. Oh, you did? Okay. Yep. Right. It's pretty standard. So, we have a motion. Do we have a second? Move to
073approve. I already moved. Second. Second. Have a motion and a second. All in favor say I. I. I. Any opposed? Hearing? None. The motion carries. Uh, ths science elective. Uh, what happened? Schedule a day. broke it. Go back to your I'll get rid of it. There you go. As long as this aligns with stand the state standards for science class, I am good with it. I know that it makes it easier for students um to take electives when they also satisfy some of those required classes. So, I will move to approve. Okay, we have a motion in a second, but I do have a question. Okay. Um is there no curriculum with this course? It's just a three- ring binder. Those are materials needed, but is there curriculum? Does anybody know the answer to that?
074I'm not sure the answer to that, but I can certainly find out for you. Okay. The from my understanding, they've already been teaching this. It's just to make it an elective. Correct. Because they've been Yeah, because they've they've had it as just an elective. Okay. So, they're taking out the animal studies course from the FFA program and making it an elective. They're not taking it out. They're they're they are making it a it is already an elective. They're making it a science elective. Substitute credit to give them credit for a science class. Yeah. Okay. Interesting language. Okay. So, we have a motion and a second. All in favor say I. I. I. Any opposed? Hearing none, the motion carries. Moving on to discussion items. We have the harassment and bullying data. I really struggle with
075this data because I don't think it's an accurate reflection because we are um adhering to the letter of the law and not the cries of the students that feel that they are being bullied or that parents that come into the office and say hey my kid is being bullied but because it doesn't uh meet all the criteria required instead statute was quite minimal. We don't classify it as bullying. And so we champion on the fact that there's no bullying. I can't It drives me nuts how many times people there's no bullying when that's not an accurate portrayal. I mean, there is bullying that goes on. And I think if we could acknowledge it and address it in a positive fashion, we could minimize it to where kids aren't afraid to come to school because being
076bullied. To be fair, I think that some of these low numbers, um, zeros in most schools, um, I think reflects that positive intervention. Um, I agree with you. It's human nature, those incidents are going to come up. They do. Um, but I also know that our teens handle that very swiftly. Uh, and according to some protocols that are pretty tight. Okay. Um, and so I do think that there is something to be celebrated there. Absolutely. And that the intervention is effective. Okay. And that would make sense for the repeat incidences being low. Um, but those single incidents, it's like they happen. Yeah, they happen. Am I missing the fact that there's no schools identified on these? I'm trying to remember how I We're not looking at a spreadsheet. We're looking at a PDF of the
077document. I was able to click on it in the in that was Yeah. Yeah, you can. But we get PDFs because we don't work off of Excel spreadsheets because we want a document that is a snapshot in time right here, right now. This is exactly what it was. It's not a document that somebody can change later or update later. So, we use PDFs. Um, we also can't make notes for ourselves in documents that are linked. They have it h we can only make notes for ourselves in board book on PDFs that are attached to the agenda. Just for clarification for you guys for sure moving forward that's so if you you you see that memo that is there and yeah we can click on the link but we don't do that. We use the PDFs
078that are included that follow. So labeling those. So it it it does look like if you scroll down through the PDF, it should identify each building as you go. It just doesn't have the names of the schools. Each each graph is there, but that's that just says that each graph should have the header. Sure. Um I apologize. That was a clerk oversight. Okay, no worries. Any conversation we need to have? This is a discussion item. No. Okay. Moving on to the quarterly heritage health data. Any conversation to be had on the data from Heritage Health? I do not. Okay. Thank you. Moving on to the parent organizational organization finances. Um this is pursuant to our policy um that we are just provided with the um financials um just at the end of the year to
079make sure that you know whatever they're earning they're investing back. As a numbers person some of these this math isn't mathing for me. So I'm not sure because I do this for a living. So, I'm not quite sure how you can have a starting balance and revenues received and total expenditures and then have the ending balance not be the sum of the parts. I would agree with you on that. I just know that um the prior superintendent had issues getting people to comply. Um people were confused about what they had to offer. I I I encouraged her to just reassure everyone that it's it's not about micromanaging at all. It's just about informing the board of their support of the schools. So, give us a starting balance, what they've received in, what they've spent out,
080and where they end the year. So, um I'm good with that. I would like to revisit our policy on this. Okay. um for next year and maybe rather than numbers like this, maybe providing a narrative of what they've done cuz I would like to I would like that more than Right. Well, it looks like dollar amounts. LMS uh PTC, they actually did identify what they spent, which was kind of cool. Um and which one is this? Oh, the booster club. Yeah, they've got all their stuff in there which is pretty awesome. I mean they do such a phenomenal job for our district. Um I didn't see TMS. Did I miss it? Or Twin Lakes Middle School does not have one. No, THS um uh booster club. Yeah, it's in here. Is it? Okay. I am
081really not doing good tonight. Okay. Yeah. which is I mean just trying to assure because some people were I guess this was an issue for some people which I don't understand why but oh I can respect that I guess do we have any questions comments thank you for complying with the statute and thank you for all you do for the kids and our district yes we have a fee report Um, sorry, Mr. Taylor. Is there anything you'd like to answer? I couldn't open that when I was reviewing it and I I guess it's blocked because I not a worry. I'm not in your network. So, okay. I just wanted to see it. That's all. No worries. So, this is the end of year fee report. I'm a little cautioned. Um, Mountain View has collected an
082exorbitant amount of fees, but it doesn't say for what. So, if I can clarify, we were asked at the building level to provide uh a number on fees waved. And so, the dollar amount that you see is the amount that we purposefully did not collect or waved at each site. Okay. Fee report per policy. Yeah. The agenda item actually phase wave here. Okay, that's significant amount but I understand metal also had a huge issue I guess on my Chromebooks like to have a better understanding of that. Why are the Chromebooks costing so much? Any other further uh conversation or discussion? No. Then we have the seclusion and restraint report to review. Actually, I do. Don't we have um on the Chromebooks? Don't we have insurance that the the parents can opt into and purchase? We
083do. Yeah, we do have a coverage policy. Um and it's very helpful to families. I I think this information probably reflects that built in. Um administrators were just asked basically based on your records, who did you tell you don't have to pay these fees. And so I would assume that built into that Timberlake number, if those are mostly Chromebook damage fees, they're probably pulling amounts. Um if kids owed $20 for a broken screen because they had the insurance policy or if they owed 100 for a broken screen because they didn't. That's probably all just mixed in that that sum. Does that answer your question? Yeah, I guess I would want to see what what the income for the insurance. Sure. That what that total was compared to what was spent to fix some of those.
084Is it worth our time to be? Yeah. And that's something that is typically held because the the insurance cost is $20 per student per year at the secondary level. And so all of that money goes to technology. Uh and they hold that fund and the buildings actually don't really have knowledge of what's in that fund. Um we're just tasked with contacting the families whenever they have a damage to repair. Thank you. Yeah, of course. So, Okay. Pursuant to the policy though, it states that the report is uh to be made regarding the fee schedules and the fees waved. So, we're supposed to see what are our fees that we're supposed to be collecting and what's been waved. Um I would like to see this come back to the board with just that information. Sure. you
085could do that. Absolutely. It may I realize it may be a little challenging where we are at in the calendar. Um but if we can gather some information or at least to make a note um for next year when this comes forward that um we have how much the fees are, what we're supposed to be collecting and what we've waved because I believe that's I mean I just read Tennessee. Absolutely. Okay. because it does state that as a condition of graduation or issuance of an official transcript, the district requires all fees incurred by a student to be satisfied and all property of the district to be returned. So, I would think that, you know, somebody has to be keeping tabs. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. And I believe that they are. I would think so. I would
086hope so. Can't do any more input or conversation on the fee report. Oh, I didn't move on and I just interjected. Okay, that's okay. I apologize. Moving on to the seclusion and restraint report. Interesting. So, we only have one school with restraint and inclusion. That's interesting. Do we need to have any further conversation on seclusion restraint? No. Okay.
