001Morning. Sensing up. something Okay. Stand up and join me for the pledge. Pledges 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, we'll move right along to good news and we don't have anything for this month. assuming someone um we'll move on to reports superintendent report. >> Mr. Chairman, members of the board, just a couple of items for you today. Mainly, I just had a chance to drive by West Elementary and look at the parking lot. There's some concern that may not be completed in time, mainly because there's the city's also working on a project on that street. So, we'll we'll keep pressing forward with it as quickly as we can, but Scott,
002did you have anything to add with that? >> The parking lots will start on Friday at the junior high. They will go to east on Monday and west will get wrapped up Tuesday or Wednesday. So, The bigger issue is what Mr. Gilbert just pointed out is the city's project. I haven't inquired, but they're pressing along. They're doing a lot, but they're also missing parts. So, at some point, they're going to either get parts and continue to press or they're going to kind of stall out. So, >> and then over at uh Bennett, you hopefully had a chance to see the the temporary building. We look into that area school and you know I read a letter to the editors or it was last week from one of our former teachers making a comment about it
003and I just would like to hopefully refresh everybody's memory that we had two temporary buildings in that basic same location several years ago. So it's not something new but uh that's not a new temporary building. when we move from the high school. So, um those are kind of the updates that we have with things going on in the district. Uh we we do have a update on our negotiations. We did come to a tenative agreement today with the association. So, we will hopefully have those items ready to go for a board meeting. We're going to have to do a a special board meeting once the association ratifies that to get our contracts out. And we're continuing to hire right now. And so if you know any special ed teachers that are looking for work, we
004would gladly take their services. So that's all I have for this month. So happy to answer any questions that you have. I got a question with the street work. Are they tearing the streets up over there by West? Uh yes. So they are replacing the water line. So >> when it's all done, they'll pull all the asphalt off and repaint that entire is how I understand that. >> How's that going to affect people getting into the in and out of the building? >> Well, that's the question. >> Yeah, that is the question. >> It could be interesting. >> We'll make it more. >> Yeah. All right. Is it Was it vinyl siding or wood? >> It's wood. >> It's It's wood. It's not currently on the schedule for >> Yeah. But it's something that we
005I would recommend. Yeah. >> Make it more like >> make it so that it doesn't stick out as much. add that to your voice. Any other questions for uh board of trustee public engagement? Anybody hold anybody signed up? Well, I need this sign. Thank you. >> Whatever you want. >> Um I'm just here on behalf of the Mountain Home Lions Club. We were able to do our Mountain Home triathlon um for the youth again this year and we want to thank the district friendly for allowing us to do that over by the junior high on the track um on the field behind the school and then around the bus area. Um, we want to thank Scott greatly for all of his help with um, getting all of that done and helping us out and um,
006answering all of our questions and getting things for us. So, we appreciate that. Um, we also want to thank um, Nikki Cruiser. She let us spiral all of her um, combs, orange combs. Um, they were the coolest thing. They flip up. Um so um yeah that uh that greatly helped us out as well. We did do um a little course this year where we started from three to five year olds um doing a small miniature course and then we did the six to 18 year olds. Um our oldest ones that came were 15. Um, but you never know, we might still get some 18 year olds that'll come in and and want to join us. So, we do um we run the track and then we do uh biking over in the bus area and
007then um because we don't have a pool. Um and because it's such a great area, we've decided to stick with that area even though we do have a pool now. So, we're hoping to do it again there next year. Um but we are looking or we did a water obstacle course for the um older kids and then we had the fire trucks there spraying uh water for the kids and so the kids seem to really enjoy it and have a good time. Um we doubled our number this year. Um and we have about we have a little over $2,000 that we are going to do a youth scholarship. I know I've already talked to Mr. Gilbert about this. Doing a youth scholarship for kids that not only for sports, but for drama or art or
008music, they're not able to get an instrument. They're not able to get something. Um, we have a scholarship that we're getting out. We're just getting ready to take that to our board tomorrow to get the um form approved. And once it's approved, I will send it off to James and then he can send it off to principles to get out to students that needs milk. >> Um but it it was a great experience. Had lots of lots of kids there, lots of parents there, and it was fun. And >> what was the date of it? >> It was May 31st. It was the last day of May. Yeah. And it was that hot hot day. We did it in August the year before um before school started and um it was warm then. We were
009a little worried about doing it in May, but then it ended up being hot. So, we're hoping to do it um in May again after May >> after graduation again. Um so hopefully um you'll see our our paperwork coming through soon and and we'll get that started for next year. >> Maybe get in the seniors category for us. >> Well, we've got lots of volunteer spots. You can run with the kids and all. We did have parents that said, "Hey, can we do it?" But we we only we're doing >> Oh, that's good. Yeah, it's awesome. It's just such an added, >> right? Well, and it's kind of fun because some of the kids go, "Hey, didn't you do our ice greeners?" >> Yeah, we did those, too. So, but so it's fun for the
010kids to see us in different different ways as well. >> Very appreciate this. >> All right. You're welcome. >> Thanks. >> Thank you. >> Thanks, guys. You said the other one was a mis covered all the bases. >> Scott, would you like anyone to say something? >> I'm good. >> All right. At this time, we'll move on to the approval of the agenda. Complete the agenda. Second it. >> All in favor? >> I guess against our consent agenda items. If anybody wants anything pulled out, take a motion to approve that move. Second, sorry. On the budget hearing, the Sorry. Ajournment says ter on the special budget hearing special board meeting. I think you got I think she fixed it because what I'm looking at in the drive >> and I'm like >> chairman they need
011closed unless it's Oh no there okay I see >> I see it under the Okay. So with that fix make a motion to approve consent agenda with any correction of the correction second against we have no delegation business new business resolution 2601 authorization for superintendent to apply for title public law 103-32 funds. >> Mr. Chairman, members of board, resolution 2601 is the board approval for us to apply for impact aid. So I would ask for your approval of resolution 26 million. As far as we've been told, yes, for now. >> All right. Any questions? >> Motion to approve that. [Music] >> Yeah. Wait, where? Hold on. Where are you at? >> On the 261. >> Wait, it doesn't say that. Is it supposed to say to appoint him on there? >> It's on your second
012page. >> I'm on the second page. You just said authorization for someone for for superintendent for >> right. You as a board are appointing James >> to do that. >> So you're appointing James first. motion. We got 20 seconds. We'll take a motion to authorize second. All >> in favor? >> I roll call. >> Trusty Knox is absent. So trusty Perez. >> Hi. >> Trusty Dario. >> Hi. >> Trusty. >> Hi. >> And Mr. Chairman. >> Hi. We'll move on to resolution number 22602. Authorization to suspend statements. >> Mr. Chairman, members of the board, resolution 2602 is the resolution that will allow delegation to our uh listed administrators there to uh suspend students. So, if you look at the list, it's it's typically the district office administrators and then building administrators. And the reason we
013have the district office folks and there's there's times when those individuals at the building are at office and one of us may have to go over and suspend a child. So would ask for your approval of resolution 2602 authorization to suspend students and this is for next school. >> Any questions? >> All right. And I'll take a motion to authorize student resolution 2602 author relation to suspend students second. All >> favor trusty press >> I should say trusty abust. >> Hi >> trusty. Hi. >> Hi, Mr. Sh. >> Hi. >> All right, James, you're up again. >> Yes, >> Mr. Chairman, members of the board, I So, we've got our supplemental levy with the changes in election dates. Now, I just wanted to have a discussion on if you would like to see us put
014the current supplemental levy on the November ballot. um which would allow us to have two opportunities to run it if it should not pass in November to run it again in May. Um if we wait till May and it doesn't pass then we are stuck without the supplemental. Um the other discussion is do we want to continue the the current levy amount that we have um especially with some of the things we've seen uh from the state funding perspective and then from the federal funding perspective as well. So currently we run a 2-year levy at 2.8 million instead of 2.7 million. Um, we do know that uh we've got to hold back on our a big chunk of our federal funding right now. About $560,000 that's in the limbo. And then from the state end,
015we're being told to prepare for anything from a no hold back to a 6% hold back which is about 1.6 million for district. So, we have to have the levy information. I believe the county by it's in August sometime. I can't tell you the exact date, but we'll have to we're going to run the levy in November. We would have to have it ready to go next month. What is this? >> Uh right now it's the grand total is about 560,000. >> That's is up in the air. It's been allocated but at this point it's not being distributed. you input the grants on both ending then you will share with the money along with the expenditure with the administration's agenda >> and the state is saying the whole the governor saying be ready for a
016hold back in the next budget >> and um Jac is saying expect a zero increase on the budget maint 140 million >> 141 141 1 million below what they were expecting to get in for revenue as of June 30th this year. >> The hard part with a November levy is obviously running election in November to the program more. But the other issue is we just don't have a very clear economic picture of where we're at. But I am a little nervous just going if we have one shot at bills in May. Know typically we would have ran it in May and if you would run again have the August election vote. But you know I kind of look at it too is if you run in November and it doesn't pass and you know kind
017of what we have to do to move it forward too. So if you do try to do increase in November, your chances are a less smaller. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Which way do I be on the increase? >> And we don't have to necessarily think make a decision tonight. >> We need to make sure we have the date from the county when we have to submit and you know, more than anything just kind of loop for thought here to start processing what we want to do. The other thing is by next month we may also have a better idea on the federal funding portion of this too. So, you know, if need be, if if the date that we have to add everything to the county is prior to the August board meeting, we schedule
018a special board meeting prior to that just to address something. Can we put this on the agenda for the special >> contract? That way we can get the dates and I come up with a >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> All right. Next up is authorization to develop policy committee. >> Mr. Chairman, members of the board. So, our policy committee is currently made up of um school staff. We do have a a couple of patrons on there, but one of the things we found with the committee is it's just not a very efficient method of getting policy to all of you. We are not required by code to have a committee. we are required to have the availability to impro anybody including your staff on policies and so I wanted to have a
019discussion about your thoughts with it knowing that we've got a lot of policy that's going to be coming your way that's just a change over from um to the ISBA policies and realistically trying to have the committee filter all of that as we time prohibited to determine. So, so you know with the any of our policies we allow written input input and come to the board. Um, and so we're not really eliminating anybody's ability to provide input on the policy. is just trying to eliminate one of the steps going into that. This year we we kind of hit a slow down and in and a lot of the policy trying to get it to be. So that's that's why this agenda item is on there is trying to speed that process up. all of our
020staff who publish the the policies that are up for on the board for that month and so they have the opportunity to to read provided prior to it. So when it comes up for review this is going to work. Yeah. So when it comes up for review and I vote for the staff, how far out they get to know that new policies are coming up for review. Um you guys have a little >> I think that's one of the things that we look at with this is changing how that operates. So you know if we don't have committee I think it would be wise but any time we have policy that you know is coming on the agenda that we have shared send out just a general here's policies that we won't for this month
021that was providing we also have it on our web page under >> but it's admittedly it's a little hard to find so figure out a way to make it easier verifications to that fold right show the perception that we're making this easier. >> Yes, absolutely. >> Making it more available for >> Yeah. >> staff to contribute or review >> because I think in our current format with our committee, we really don't get very much input on policies. I think everybody who's on the committee in here will agree with that. So I I >> Jeff has lots of >> Yeah. >> input policies. >> So I think if we dissolve the committee and then have an you know if there's policy that's coming to the board that we know is coming to the board in advance.
022If you just send that out to staff then at least they're receiving that direct email that this is what's coming this month. I think that's important because as you well know in the past um that has come up that we have been you know not so forthright in giving staff teachers the input that they want to make into a policy. Well, it's almost like you know you can put it out there in five different ways and if they don't choose one to become more uh advanced in what they know about that policy then you know it's on everybody's plate. But it's just so that the perception isn't that we're taking that input away. So I I think it's a great idea to have Sharon put that out there. This is what we're looking at coming
023up. >> Yeah. >> You need to read it. You need to respond back. You know, that type thing just so that it's not that age-old criticism years past that we didn't give everybody equal input. >> And I would agree with that, Trusty Donahghue. I think the current way it is, we have representatives from buildings, but I'll be honest, I don't think there's a lot of policy discussion back at the building level like ADF being put on >> and it becomes that it does. Yeah. >> So, would it be easy to say on the first we send out the policies to everybody that is going to be up for the board next meeting. So, it gives them a couple of weeks to look stuff over and do, >> I think. So, >> and can we add
024So, I'm looking at the I'm looking at our main splash page on the website. >> Could we add a f add that folder for the policy that's coming up under review for the next board meeting? Add a folder on to make that just put it on this front page. >> We have everything else and then it makes it easier for the parents to find. >> What's that? Maybe >> maybe we're we're in the middle of updating the uh website platform. Um some tools we have available um to put things like that on our web page are a little bit different. Um >> we probably can we haven't so we have to rebuild the homepages from scratch. Um, so >> or even if you could just put a link that's obvious obviously on that would be
025obvious on here that says upcoming policies for review or policies for review at the next board meeting or something. >> Yeah, we we can do something. I can't guarantee it'll be like like a folder with the list of the policies or it'll end up being a link or something. Um, but we can we can do something. >> And there there won't be a list of all the policies coming up for the year. It must be the ones that will be up for the next meeting, >> right? >> Yeah. Because it takes me more than a week, you know. >> Yeah. >> Form it all out and stuff. >> Yeah. >> So, yes, I think those are all good ideas on it. So, since it is a district committee, the committee, it would require your approval
026to dissolve the policy committee. Anybody [Music] else got a question, concerns, ideas? >> At this time, go ahead. >> Has it been discussed with the committee that possible dissolution? >> Not yet. No, but I I mean >> it's all I >> pretty confident have at least a 90% approval. >> It's probably gotten to the point where it's kind of down to a pretty much non-existent committee. >> Well, it it just gets and it gets hard to go. So, here's here's how the committee works. first off trying to get everybody here, but then you go, we got 30 policies to go through and in an hour you get through one and you're going, "Yeah, this isn't working." >> Yeah. >> So, we've got to do something different with it >> while still allowing the input and
027allowing the transparency into that. >> Yeah. When I send out policies, I'll send out we have a policy input form because they can't just say, "Well, it's a stupid policy." they have to suggest language. >> Yeah. >> To go into it. So, I'll send that out also with me. >> Even though we say that in the meeting. >> Yeah. [Music] >> So, what am I giving authorization to? >> You're just uh I guess >> we just authorizing it. You're just dissolving the policy committee >> with the caveat that policies will be sent to staff and put on our website where it's easily. So we'll take a motion what she said that we dissolve the policy committee of which the upcoming policies that are up for approval a week in advance week two weeks in advance
028readily accessible to public. All in favor? >> I want against right transportation. James, you're up again. >> Mr. Chairman, members of the board, there's one request this month and this is for a family in Pine. It's not a new request. So, I will ask for your approval of the transportation request for the family that was on fire. the question actually 504. >> Okay. So the qu the only question I have is since it's recurring question do we have to approve it every year or we change can we just make a motion to approve it for each year students enrol No, I hope it has to be. All right. Questions? No. This we'll take a motion to approve. Make a motion approve the transportation request. All in favor authorization to schedule additional schoolboard training as needed.
029ISBA6. Mr. Chairman, this is just the annual um approval that you board group that if there's any training that comes up in my interest again that I can go ahead and sketch out emails for convention coming up in November. So going through that question. >> Yeah. No, I may [Laughter] >> all sleep. Right. >> All right. So, I'll take a motion to approve authorization to schedule additional schoolboard training as needed. I still move >> second. All in favor? >> I guess. All right. Executive session. Labor contract matters. So, this time I'll take a motion for us to go to executive session to discuss contracts. So move second. >> All in favor. >> Roll call. >> Trusty P. >> Hi. >> Just I resto. >> All right. Uh resolution to adjourn to executive session. BS. So
030resolve that the board of trustees of school district number 193 recess from an open meeting will be the following executive session respect Idaho code title 74 chapter 2 section 74-2 code6 subsection 1 subsection J to consider labor contract matters Idaho code be further resolved that the following executive session board of trustees will convene into public session for further business or adjournment of the meeting we are in executive session Father.
