Can I put it on the agenda? But I mean, that's why I didn't know we had to put it on the agenda because it's nothing in my agenda. It has the regular things on it. It's a regular meeting. It's up to you guys. Okay, but I'll make a motion to approve the uh 2026 district annual expenditure budget. I'll second. If there's no discussion or questions, I'll call for the vote. Okay, all those in favor, say aye. Aye. Okay, motion carries 4 to 0. Thank you. Mhm. Uh next up is uh discussion item, discussion of
004agenda items. Mr. President, members of the board, a prayer board members request discussion of procedures for placing an item on the agenda is needed. Okay. And I know um I believe that Eric is the one who had requested this item and he's not here, but I will tell you how items get on the agenda. Somebody at the meeting mentions it or if they even call me between meetings, I've got a whole file in my little notepad on budget on school board meetings. So, I make a note at the end of it what needs to be added to the agenda, what items were requested. When Dr. Soltero and I meet to plan the meetings, the first thing I do is pull this out and go back to that page and list off any of the that
005are there. Um I know in this particular instance, it was uh the request was to hear from the booster club on football field ideas. And Dr. Soltero and I discussed it and came to the conclusion that there really wasn't a way to discuss grants that would require the matching funds for opening up part of the campus to the public without also including discussions on the school budget and skip receipt. So, a request was made by Mr. that if a change, even one as minor as that, is made into a request, that I got Dr. Salter and called the board member who made that request and let them know what had happened, which I know >> [laughter] >> what you're saying. What have you been doing? >> Yeah, that happened in the past. I didn't do
006it with that that one because to me those two issues they couldn't be separated out. Yeah, I do like with you and with a couple others I called and said, "Hey, we changed what you wanted, is this okay?" Or "Hey, is it okay with you if we put it on the next week?" So, that's the procedure. Um and if anybody wants me to change any further, shoot me an email. So, the only thing that I would add to what you're saying is the the president of the board is not the gatekeeper of the agenda. Okay. And you don't ever want to get to the point where you become the gatekeeper of the Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And I'm not saying you're doing that. I In fact, I think you don't do it at all. But I've
007been on boards that have done others. And and so just just really important that that we all have confidence that what we and and always have for me at least, anything I've wanted on the agenda I've got I've got on the agenda, right? Yeah. Except for the dinners for the school board I had to run by them. >> [laughter] >> Everything else I've got on there. And so but yeah, that would be my only my only caution to all that >> Yeah. Is that that issue? I know. I appreciate that call from you because that's a concern of mine because I also have been on boards where there there was there was a gatekeeper there that who blocked just because they wanted to. I strive not to be that. So, if I ever you want
008me and you disagree with the call, then >> [snorts] >> Anything further on that? We're on to informational items, first of which is reclassified hourly increase of accounts payable for 2019-2020. Mr. President, members of the board, in the April board meeting, the administration asked for an increase in hours for Susan Leone for the classified salary schedule.
