Um, I just want to say that these kids, um, it's very well known in our community how much work that these kids put in year round as you see. You see it all the time in the parades, their concerts, their competitions, what they do at their school assemblies and stuff. Um, this is one of those things that is not as public and that's preparing for their state soul and ensemble competitions. So, a lot of these kids, um, they start in October. They pick their music in October and they practice by themselves. If they have an accompanist who they do, she's absolutely amazing. Amy Cole, they work with her and they prepare and then
003they go to district which was back in March. Um, and they go in, you know, obviously with the hope of making it to state, but just getting that experience and being able to audition and work towards it. Um, and yeah, this is the first year that we've had out of, I think it was 20 that auditioned, we have 17 entries that are going, totaling out at 16 students because I've got students who are in more than one category. So yeah, this is the biggest group as far as I know um that has been able to go from Mountain Home Band and these kids have just worked so hard and they just deserve to have as many accolades as they possibly could. So yeah, it's it's a big deal. We go in the at the beginning

It is my great honor to recognize a very special group of students from Stevens Elementary. These are my third and fourth grade legal mentors. These students have been thoughtfully selected by their teachers for consistently demonstrating leadership, responsibility, and kindness. Our mentors serve in a variety of meaningful roles across our school and help supervise recess, cleaning our vests and lanyards. Um, they assist with welcoming visitors and give building tours. and they served
006on on our school's safety patrol. A lot of them do. This year, each of our students was invited to participate in the governor's official signing of the proclamation declaring April as the month. I didn't try. So, we had several kids who got to go, several who weren't April. These students represent the best of what it means to be Stevens and Eagles. And we would like to present the certificates to them. All right. So, I'm going to read your name. Change your name and then move down. Okay. But I have Lillian first. Anyone? Um, did any of you guys have anything you wanted to say? I know some people have something they want to bring up. He got to speak directly to the governor. So the govern [Music] Right. Thank you guys. So guys, thank you
007for coming. Yes. Run while you can. All right, Lonnie, you're up. I feel like I've been abandoned. Thank you very much. Yeah. Uh, no. I I get to speak to you tonight uh on behalf of Hacker Middle School where I've had the just kind of the pleasure to share with you over the past five years some of the the activi activities we've had associated with our five-year 21st century community learning center grant. I wish they could make that title a little bit longer. Um, if you're paying attention, I said I've reported for five years. It's five-year grant. That means this is the end. um Jeff doing what Jeff does kept us in really good um position to reapply and I am happy to announce that we were one of 10 recipients for another five years
00810 out of 75 applicants in the state and that is a fiveyear grant a fiveyear grant just over half a million dollars um that will allow us to continue those before and after school programs family engagement events the really great fishing uh trip that the kids get to think the summer camp, all of those things. And I just I don't know if she's out there or if she just didn't wasn't able to make it. Um really would like to acknowledge Liz Bernett who is our coordinator. Um she took over after Robin got us going um and really grown the program and put us in a great position to be awarded this grant again. So that is good news. Congratulations on that. All right. So notice of the annual budget workshop. So that's do I do
009we just need to read this or people 6 May 2025 6 p.m. here. Okay. Superintendent report. Mr. Chairman, members of the board, a couple of things. Just letting you know we're in the smack dab in ISAT testing season. And with that we were randomly selected by the state for monitoring. So we will have a individual from the state coming out to visit West Elementary and he's pretty thrilled about that. So but things are going well with it. And then the other update is just with the legislature finally convening. We're we're starting to get the budget information in from the state and starting to have a better picture of what that looks like. I think a big concern is going to be uh federal funding and what that looks like. There's still a lot up in
010there. Uh legislatively, it was not a real positive session for public education. I I don't anticipate that changing next year as it's not a big election year yet. And so, uh, we do expect that the vouchers and those kind of things are going to come back again probably more money behind those. But, uh, you know, it's we'll adjust and we keep working through that. You see some of the the bills that come up with what's allowed, what's not allowed in classroom displays and and it's just some of it's gotten to where it puts our staff and uh very political positions when there should be. So, you know, at some point hopefully that kind of goes back a little bit to some common sense type of legislation, but I don't anticipate seeing that next year. With
011that, we survived that and budget court. So, be happy to answer your question. So with the shakeup they've got going on nationally and the parents changing different Yes. How is that impacting us for we did? Yeah, it definitely will. We had to submit a title six form today that that we've never had to submit which that covers all of our federal funding and it's basically the anti-dbi compliance that that's gone out so that the state has done a good job trying to balance that out with post to answer your question trusted it's it's hard to say we Finally, today we received an impact aid payment that we probably should have gotten months and months ago and it's not the normal delay with impact aid. It was simply the delay because of the budget process as
012that has been going through and similar to our our grant the PSI grant for Stevenson were that federal earmarked through Congressman Simpson's office was not included in budget process this time and so we are resubmitting that. I'm waiting on one letter of reference on that from the governor's office and then we'll submit that. We we jump to the the top of the list in Congress and Simpson's uh process with that. So, it'll be approved, but the earliest we would receive the funding for that would be likely October of this year. So, which is okay because with some of the things going on with that that project, we're in the delay and it's the environmental assessment is taking much longer than planned and so I visited with the architect and the construction management firm last week
013and it'll actually fit well into their time of things as well. It's just the unknown that, you know, we don't know if there's going to be significant cuts to Tyler or special ed or any of those, you know, kind of programs. But, uh, from the state level, the funding the funding I think we're in pretty good position as a world district. we we come out with a better in some of the the other areas, but it doesn't mean that there's still an abundance of state funding that I think the biggest thing that they kind of dropped the ball on this year was how to address our special ed funding knowing that we have some very high cost IEPs in the district and not just our district but every district and they were working on a
014mechanism and try to support that and that was killed late in session. So those kind of things are still going to cause issue with your discretionary funding out. So hopefully some of that comes back next year after they've had a little more time to process. So maybe impacting you mentioned earlier is looking online. We're still we're still below what you hopefully with the late release of this payment. Excuse me. Questions? There were a number of bills that passed. I follow the construction side of that. There were a number of bills that passed as well that will actually help with Yes. school construction repair maintenance and the ability for people to go out and secure locally. Yes. Yeah. is Senate Bill 1118 is one that raises the threshold on on where we have to go for
015the formal process and that will be you know trusting medic out right now because you never know how many people you're need to get get on projects you know part of this uh availability of product is not going to get better for the short term. We did meet with the architect to discuss the windows at the high school and that was one of the comments was that any aluminum type of product is going to hard to come by the next six to eight months. Moving on board of trustes public engagement. No, I was called by a one of our constituents that wanted to discuss some matters of school maintenance and repair and improvements to the school. Any discussion? All right. Approval of the agenda. Take a motion to approve the agenda. Second. All in favor?
016Agenda. We'll take a motion to approve that. Any unless you have something pulled out all in favoration there's business proposal for east west and junior high parking lot. Good evening, Mr. Chairman board. I am I put some uh info in your bid packet for the RFP that we're referring to. Uh West Elementary and East Elementary would be complete redoss on the parking lot. Junior High would be refurbished with some extensive patching. At this time, I'd like to ask your approval to uh move forward with those projects. We say east and western land complaints redo. Correct. Basically tear it all off. Tear it all off. Regrade it. Take care of uh both of them have drainage issues that are problematic in the winter time. I do not know. Probably not. I'm gonna assume they're going to
017use a loader and just I don't think they're going to grind. Was there engineering requirements, permitting requirements including propos? Uh, no engineering. Um, unclear on the second part of that question. So that as far as permitting required, you know, we just replace we we just did replacement. Did they give you I know how much they replace. Um there there was in their proposals they each had a a little bit different approach on how much material they would bring in. So on on the one that we'd like to move forward with, they they had more material that they wanted to bring in and utilize fresh material that they didn't give you, right? 18. Uh I believe I believe C2 did fair would have answered your question on that. I I didn't send that portion to you.
018Okay. understand correct? No. No. What is your recommendation? I I would recommend So, we did the uh when we went through the documentation, I'm forgetting the the correct term, but when you went line item for line item their point system it was very clear that we needed to go with C2 there was missing documentation with PSI um they didn't have a timeline and they didn't uh we asked for concrete in a certain section at the junior high to handle the the garbage trucks and they did not include that. So with those three items it on the point system it made it very clear to go with C2. The other thing that C2 did was list their public works license. Correct. No. And I didn't see that when I went to the PSI did not submit
019everything that we would need. Correct. There there were several missing correct. individually. No, they need to be individually because each school is a different and it's in their board packets. They weren't bid in the total each each building had its own price. Yeah. Okay, Mr. Chairman, for East Elementary, the total was 105,60 is 155,000. 155,000 and junior high is 164. Correct. Correct. I make a motion that we accept the bid from C2 Construction for Mountain Junior High School in the amount of $164,000 based on the selection criteria. Second. All in favor? I that was good. East. I'll make a motion to approve the bid for the approach and parking lot each for 105,000 second west that we approve the be for west 155 second all favor Thank you. So at this time we temporary that
