I pledge algiance 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. I do have a guest form filled out for Mr. Pena. [Applause] Good evening everybody. So medium South Plenty here to meet you. I just uh and don't worry Mr. Myer I'm not going to steal your thunder. So so as you know the high school has solo ensemble and kids competed and that's all I'll say about that. But I was speaking to my daughter and previously my her older brother competed but they went to DBCHS and
002I inquired that with my daughter and she said, "Well, that's because we're not with IHSA anymore for a solo ensemble." She said, "Because that's where you go compete and you can go to state." So, I'm just kind of curious as to why we don't do that anymore and why we would limit our students to not being able to go to state. If that's correct, if that's I'm not sure if that's exactly how it works. So, but that's just what she told me. So, that's all I got. Okay.

Herman. Yes. Bel. Yes. Florence. Yes. Motion carried. Next up are the staff reports. First one, Dr. Fosnney. [Applause] I
005wanted to start off with an update about our state testing. So, we did complete all of our I testing. Um, it went pretty smoothly. The only sample we had was some of the um test management system samples. It wasn't really our system's fault. It was the new management system that they use. A lot of the area schools and all across the state all had some issues with it. Um nothing major, just kind of, you know, a little bit of a rough start in the mornings with some of the classrooms um at the beginning and then we kind of um you know, worked through that. So everything ended up being okay. Um so we finished our math and we also finish our reading. The only state testing that we have left is science. That's going to
006be after spring break and that's going to be in three days. We used to have it in one day, but now it's um longer and it's in three sections, which is just like the math. So we're separating it into three days because we don't want to over test the have that, you know, be burned out. We did the incentives, which I think they really liked. So, I kind of talked about how last year we had raffles. So, if the kids were taking their time, showing their work, um, giving it their best effort, they got a ticket and then we put them in a raffle. We picked a handful of names at the end of the day and they got to come down to the office to pick a treat. This year, everybody who earned a
007ticket got something. So, at lunch, they came and it didn't take away from class time, so that was another added bonus. They got to come in the cafeteria, turn on their in their ticket, and we got a lot of candy, um, gum, chips, and then we asked when we did the restock, we asked the kids, you know, what do you like? What do, you know, so we could make sure that we were restocking with things that they liked. Um, so that was really cool. I think that they appreciated that. And then we did another restock for science because we don't want them to think we just had, you know, all the leftover stuff. So, I think that helped. We'll see. Um, another thing I wanted to share was we do have our quarter 3 Hollywood
008Park incentive coming up. That will be after spring break on the 25th. So, that kids are going to go to Hollywood Park and they're also going to be treated to pizza um for lunch and a drink as well. And then lastly, I wanted to highlight our ELA textbook adoption. We selected SEAS, my perspectives, that is the one that we were recommending for approval. we felt it would be the best to fit our teachers needs and our students needs um in terms of the resources, the tools that they have online and then also hard copies. They had some great e supports and that's kind of what everybody unanimously liked the most. And we did have a parent night for anyone who wanted to come as well. Um there is PD worked in there too. So we're
009getting ready to set I'm actually in talks right now with setting up that PD for the beginning of the school year for one of the institute days. Does anyone have any questions? Thank you, Mr. Meyer. Hello. Um, I'd like to thank publicly thank the Beecher Education Foundation for accepting our proposal for the math ACT prep uh software. So, we're going to do online prep.ac.org. We're going to do a one-year subscription just for all juniors. We're going to see if we like this, if this is going to work out. So, Mr. McCord, Whoops. Mr. McCord is um going to pilot that. So, we hope we just appreciate them purchasing it. We just got to give them the numbers. Um so, that will be one of our things that we'll look at to to help our scores
010for ACT. Uh secondly, Mr. Ogden and I um had an opportunity to listen to Mrs. Serta's class on the trial of Victor Frankenstein. And so, it was really cool. It's been a long time since I don't even either seen the movie or I don't even think I read the book in high school, but not really how many books I really read, unfortunately. But it was just neat because the kids had to get in groups and presentations and then they had to come up. They were given some of the information, but then they had to they had to pick the prosecution or the defense side and it was just it was interesting. Um, some, you know, act out acted out in kind of some play format and so it was just it was neat. Um, and
011some of the points that that the kids made, you like the they talked about the chaos and the warnings and the journal entries, but the group I I went for the prosecution, but the defense had some great points about mental health, how we apply mental health today with kids or families, which obviously we didn't think about way back when. and talking about the father's sins, you know, should that go to the son's sins? Um, and then there's some internet show. The kids watch these shows and they were trying to give the example. So, they did a lot of re It was really good. So, I was I was pleasantly surprised. I just I like getting into classrooms, too, and Mr. Ogden helped, you know, volunteered to come in there. So, I just didn't want to
012be the only one, but that's but that was that was really good. So, that's what I wanted to talk about there. The last thing is I think Dr. Gam, there was an article in the paper, I think, about the dog. Um and uh so I just just a a quick letter or sorry a note whatever from uh that company that they all materials regarding our facility facility dog has been received and accepted by duo dogs. The staff is going to select a dog that best serves our needs. The selection of a dog at me high school will be based on the availability of dogs and advanced training. Uh once the appropriate dog has been selected to our facility, Duo Dogs will notify us. We have a 5-day training um scheduled with all handlers and we
013do have two Mrs. Heis and Mr. Sarsy. Um, and then I I I don't know if I just missed this, but I I liked this statement just how it talks about Duo retains legal ownership of all facility dogs until they are formally retired from service. Handlers in good uh standing with Duo Dogs organization are eligible to adopt that dog once it retires. So, I just wanted to give you a little update and read just just a few highlights of um Duo Dogs. Steve is happy, Kayla is happy, and I think you guys have talked. Our kids, I think, will be happy. Cit's got a ton of them, and they're they really like them, too. So, I'm hoping this is going to be a benefit. So, thank you for all you guys and you've done. So,
014YouTube is spiritual. So, anything else? That's what I have. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Dr. Gham. Uh, and Duo Dogs wasn't on my list to kind of mention to you guys. No, perfectly fine. Took my thunder. I'm taking um that article was written in Solen Voice. So, if you're looking for it, um, I happen to be in Nero the other day. I found it there. So, um, they did a very nice job, very nice write up for us. So, all right. Uh, a couple things we'll go through. First, there were 11 FOYAS this month. 10 of them from the same person group. um I believe was AI generated but we satisfied all 10 of those requests to the best of our capabilities. Um they were looking for specific vendor information from very specific years
015going back up to 30 years. So I provided them every year that we have on record and then I provided them the state's website to find all um um ASA information that they can seek. So, um, within the scope of vote we have and the records that we keep, we, um, did satisfy it. Um, just so you know, it was a statewide request because there was multiple superintendent chains that I was part of with people trying to figure out what's going on. Um, so we're pretty sure it was AI generated, but we satisfied it. Um, and was that, you said that was anonymous? Yes or no? So, some of the superintendents I work with um alongside of send an email back saying, "Please tell me who you are. Are you human? Could you um um
016narrow the scope of your cover of what you're looking for? Um and then please provide us a um an actual email address to send this to." They got no response. Um others simply said, "Um, we are denying this because X Y and Z." We didn't do that. Um I did reach out to Bill Gleon. He said even if it's AI generated um sometimes I'm not saying this is the case sometimes um folks target schools and so if you send this out to 350 districts and out of 350 districts 75 of them don't do anything with it whether it's respond ask for I ask for an extension is one of the things I did um ask for an extension X Y or Z if you just ignore them well you've actually broken law and So, they
017will file a lawsuit and say, "Hey, you know what? For $5,000, we'll walk away. We won't do anything with you." So, it's kind of a I'm not saying this happened here, but that's kind of a get-rich scheme that some some things do. Um, I'm not saying this happened here. I'm surprised that uh they that they can be anonymous. They they provided me with a link to send the information to, which is the one I responded to. Yep. So, I did do a um I actually attended a Foye training this uh two weeks ago and they said the same thing like you can ask if they're human, but I strongly recommend that you respond because if in the case you don't, there's problems. So, so we're still in good standing. Um flooring update. Um well, I'll
018do I'll do the easy ones first. So, the uh Mr. Hurley, if you happen to drive by, you'll see that they actually have the st uh the the bases out there. He's hoping that if the rain holds off long enough, he can actually go and trench those, dig those out, and we should have those up over the next maybe by the end of the spring break. That's a good thing. Uh the decals at the junior high, again, still waiting for it. For some reason, the good Lord doesn't like Northern Illinois in the beginning of April, so we're still dealing with 40°ree weather. As soon as it warms up, um Jake's going to send his his people out here. We're also looking at extending the uh the wall pads at the junior high gym as well.
019So while he's I gave him a general me measurement, the problem is one of those measurements includes the door and so he's going to actually look um they have ability to pad doors and so we're going to get that looked at as well and probably um do a similar design that that's here at the high school. Um and then lastly, so we had an engineer company, this is all informal. They haven't given their their official findings. Um, so we engaged Gallagher once again and said, "Hey, we're having some concerns with our floors." This was probably last week. Well, when they came out, our first engagement was probably February, you know, January, February, we saw the concerns. So, they came out last week. They spent 3 hours with Nate and myself, and the the guy was
020crawling on the floor. It was it was I mean the man loves woods loves wood floors. Loves them. Loves them. At the end of the day, here's the issue. There's no fault of anyone that we can find. It's for lack of better terms bad luck. So, here's what happened. The wood was acclimated at the right for the right amount of time. It was installed as far as we can assess correctly. there was a right amount of time that between installation and the polyurethane finish being put onto it. He's thinking what happened and it's again no fault of anyone when they polyurethane it. Polyurethane is a is is it's an adhesive in in a way. Some of those boards got for lack of it's not glued but got glued together. Now theoretically what's supposed to happen
021is you're supposed to have boards that kind of give and take a little bit. Well, the problem is when it adheres, you went from a 2-in board, and you have some spots where you have four or five boards that go in together. You went from a 2-in board to a 10-in board. And so, when you look to contract because it got cold, it pulled further away from some sections than others. And that's why you have larger gaps than you had um than you're supposed to because theoretically those five boards should have had minuscule movements. But because it's glued together, we know it's like glue, it's glued together, it pulled it away. So he goes at the end of the day, his recommendation informally will be to monitor the relative humidity of our our ch. If
022you go in now, it actually looks fine. Once you get humidity back into place and they start expanding again, it's going to it's goes it'll look fine. The only way to fix it is to sand it all down and then refinish it. Now, you do that every seven, eight years, but the pro problem is it's a tongue and groove. You have 38 of an inch. If you go in year two and you sand this down, you've already killed 5 years off the life of these floors. He goes, there's no danger to the floors. There's no dangers to playing on the floors that he can see. So take the next year, don't do a new finish to it because if you do a new finish to it now, you might be gluing more and do more
023paneling, which would be bad. Monitor for a year and at the end of end of winter, beginning of spring next year, look at it. Is it the same? Is it worse? If it's worse, 100% sand it down, refinish it, start over. Not start over as the boards, but start that process again. He goes, "If if it was just a really bad winter for some reason that you can't we can't see a reason and next winter is fine," he goes, "Then then you just keep rolling with it." So, I I have an answer for you, but I don't have an answer for you cuz the engineer didn't. But it's not humidity. It's not I'm sorry. It's not uh it's not moisture problem. It's not an installation problem. It's sounds bad. It's just bad luck. We had
024glue we had polyurethane that happened to glue some boards together and it just it sucked. So, but I mean I got an answer. Sometimes it's not the answer you want to hear, but I got an answer. So, that's where rev. So, no one's going to get hurt playing. No. Nope. He said I mean even walking through that because he had this little uh little device. He I mean he put things down. Um there wasn't any cupping in the boards. There wasn't any tripping hazard. I mean Nate, myself, Mike. Yeah. And even when like you'd rub your foot on it, like there was it was cupping. We thought and wasn't that the polyurethane. There was some of the glue that was sticking up that was coming. That's what we were feeling when we were rubbing our
025shoes across them. So no, he's it's fine. And then the month the month from when we initially engaged them or the two months from when we engaged them to where he was there now, I couldn't find some of the spots that I knew I was I was rubbing my foot across. Um, but I mean, we had Gallagher Insurance come out and actually assess a safety concern. He didn't see one. He's like, "It looks bad, but no, there's no safety concern because obviously our insurance company doesn't want us to have something like that out there." And then he even said the same thing. You know, it might look a little bad from a micro um, looking at it real close, but if you look at it macro, if you step back, it'll look fine. So, and
026the den is in better shape than the small. Correct. Correct. And was there a warranty or is it already expired? So those are a couple years old, right? Yeah, it's two years. Yeah, it's two years old. But even under the warranty, there's not correct. Had he come back and said, "Hey, Jack, you know, it's they installed it incorrectly or they didn't do this." Everything that he pointed to, everybody along the way did the right thing. There's no moisture, so it's not like Surf Pro didn't didn't dry it out correctly. Um, I mean, we spent the man spent a lot of time rolling around on the floor. Good on him. Like, well, yeah. He kept he kept like he come down and look at this. I'm like, I'm I'm too old to get on the ground.
027I'm good. I'm not. So, I wish I had a better answer, but at least I have an answer. And it's not detrimental. It's not It doesn't sound horrible. Right. Right. Get her drink gym or whatever. Right. Just don't work too close at it. And and if you walk in, I bet you if you walk in right now, you you would struggle to really find a lot of bad spots visual. Like when I say bad spots, I mean like looking at my face. You're not It's not pleasant to look at, but you can live with it. So, I didn't say a word. Any That's what I got for you. Okay. Okay. Next up is committee reports. Um I had a carbs meeting like the next day after our last board meeting. Um they had the multimedia
028teacher come and present. Um they are working on some new AP credit for the cyber technology and getting that kind of course. Um they have added more and they've always had lots of partnerships with Riverside for nursing EMT. Um they end up turning them into jobs. They do a lot of summer programs with them to where like they'll you can come do an internship and then ends up at the end of the internship they offer some jobs and some um if not. So that's always good and they're looking for those. Foundations of Teaching was new this year and it's good. They're working with Governor State for kids to use KACC credit in the program. So then they only have to do three years to get their teaching degree. So if they do that foundations of
029teaching at KCC for the couple years and they go to Governor State, three years they get their teaching degree. So that's good because it's shortening that time frame up for them. Yeah. Um KCC is also adding more robotics and they're adding another nursing cohort. So the nursing is so big there. adding another cohort to be able to get more kids in there. And then they also are um working really hard. They always do on the kids have to make portfolios um when they're seniors and they also have to do an interview with them and it kind of trains them as their first interview of like mock interviews they do which is always really good for the kids because before they actually try to get a job they can kind of help them how should you
030dress, what question should you ask, how should you act which you think is common knowledge but nowadays the kids need more and more of how to have a conversation with a professional adult. Um, and then the multimedia is it works more on preparing them to do the digital marketing. So, yes, they do, you'll see the videos online where they have videos of like of the different programs and things like that. And yeah, the kids may want to use it for social media, but he really focuses on the marketing aspect of it. That's what his degree is in is commercial marketing and stuff, the teacher. Um, so he kind of teaches them how to do that. And they'll do like branding. It's kind of cool. they'll make a commercial or he kind of has them do
031that job um things and says there are so many jobs they're working with and trying to get the kids to understand that marketing is needed for like every village every company um all that not just oh I want to be a YouTube star no let's put this in a per and he goes a lot of them do want to do that they want to do something like social media but like teaching them that there is such a need for this if you're good at it in everywhere um so that was the Did I miss anything? I was at the same meeting or No, no, you did a nice job of and I it's a month later. I have to take notes because I'm like, uh, I don't know. I talked about stuff. And tomorrow is
032the KACC board meeting. So, I'll be going to that tomorrow morning. And to let you know, the tuition cost to the school district is in fact going up about 300 $250 a student. Um, so it's going from$,750 to 2,000 a kid. They have not done an increase in tuition in quite some time at KACCC. That will not uh next month I'll bring the fee schedule for you guys to look at. Um, I will not be recommending increase in the price per student, keeping that at 150. However, um, I think Mr. Meyer last month discussed it with you. I still I would like to increase in his handbook the if you miss for for a bad reason. um because we we're paying a substantial amount of money for you to go. If you're if you're not
033going, then you should be reimbursing those days. So, in terms of if I just go and I go every single day, you won't see an increase to stay at 150 for KACC. So, and just to add, the KACC is uh doing an aviation program, but it is third slot. So, for us to do it here, the kids would have to provide their own transportation. and they have to leave at lunch and go and they wouldn't come back till like 4:00 unfortunately. So I don't know that we have anyone doing it. Not right now. But I but I would be open to if they could still get the requirements in the morning and the parents are okay with drop. I'm open to whatever best kids on that. Well, we brought that they have that's the other
034thing they did. Um they have 35 as of right now out of all I mean there's 14 schools that participate in KCC. There's 35 students that are signed up for aviation for that third slot. And I don't know if they're aware of it, but Prairie State has partnered with the flight school at Bolt Field and they are Prairie or Governor State, I'm sorry, is doing a professional pilot program. So, because we looked at that one, it started they did it this like January. It started because I almost signed up my kid for that, but I thought he was doing aviation for KCC, so I was like, "Oh, we'll wait and see." But they said they talked about adding at the meeting. They said, "Oh, we have enough. Maybe we could add another slot." And a
035couple of us first slaughterers got kind of excited. We're like, "Oh, first slot." And they're like, "No, it'd be third slot again." It's like that doesn't help us cuz everyone's kind of in the same boat. And I want to say third slot is probably more closer like Kinky Ki. Are they third slot? Like the ones that are really close. I would think because it's so close to when Yeah. It's all the ones that are right there. They can get back to their games and whatever else. Yeah. Because that was the hard thing you're asking the kids to do. Like one, as a parent, are you comfortable with your kid driving that far twice in the weather no matter what? Because if they miss, you're hitting charge. And then the other thing was my son, what
036he didn't like is I'll miss practices. What do I do if I have a cross country like doing the sports? And to be fair, it's year one of the of a pilot program. And so I'm ah pilot program, too. So So I I don't I don't want to be super on Casey. I mean, it's it's a great opportunity and hopefully it will grow. when they had said they were kind of laying kind of a lot of the framework for it to even start all over the place. Like there's really they went and they talked to other schools that had similar kind of programs and how they were like some of them you have they made a requirement you have to have physics before you can even enroll. Well, we don't take physics till you're a
037junior. So, okay, well that just be seniors. Just they're still feeling out what works and doesn't work. And I hope it's a success and I hope they could bring it back to a earlier slot that we could participate in because I do think we have interest here. It may not be tons of interest, but usually we only get four or five slots per program and I think we could get four or five kids that are juniors and seniors that would be interested. So, okay. Sorry, I talked a lot. Oh, good. Because I don't have much of an update. The um future found education foundation's um next meeting is on the 17th. So maybe I'll talk more next meeting. They also, not only did they approve the ACT, they also approved a device for baseball and
038softball for pitch counting or pitch calling. Pitch calling. Pitch calling. So they also um approved both of those as well. [Applause] Okay. Um for Beacher Youth Commission, we had the mom and son dance. It was successful. There were a lot of boys. Um, and it was shockingly a lot calmer than we had imagined. We were anticipating mass chaos, but it was actually a really nice time. The boys were really good. Um, our next meeting is next Tuesday at the village hall at 7:30. Everybody is welcome and then I'll have more information next. We'll talk about what we're going to do next. Um, I don't have much for the PTO raise started starting. um get your kids signed up and it goes through this week, next week, and then the week after spring break. And their
039goal is $20,000. So that's it. For the booster club, um the deadline for the scholarship for the seniors is Friday. So if they haven't filled it out, they can fill it out and then they'll get read and the winners will get announced at some point after that. Um we are helping and co-sponsoring the color run in April with the junior high and high school track teams. So people can sign up, get a t-shirt um on the website. And then the last one is we are also excited that we're going to help with the booklets, the sports booklets to try to help do them in house next year. So once that contract runs out, but the color run will be fun. So hopefully we'll get a lot of people and it'll be a good day. um
040April 27th. It's a Sunday, so that way it doesn't interfere with like prom or anything else. It is, I think, opening day for beach wreck, so it'll be a nice weekend. There will be a lot of stuff going on. I think they run from the junior high through town and end over here. I know they're both buildings. So that's it. Scholarships are in. We have them for the scholarship committee and we are reading them currently and then Monday we'll be picking the scholarship so they'll be notified well not until the end but we'll have them picked. So, thanks for writing your essays. And I had a conflict, so I couldn't make the chamber meeting, but in their uh agenda, they discussed the Easter egg hunt, which is coming up shortly, I do believe. Uh their
041scholarship committee met. They discussed the golf outing and uh the garage sale days for June. Busy busy. Okay. Next up is old business. Do we have to see them in this budget? Do you have to see it? We're just putting it on display for right now. Just for public viewing. It'll be available tomorrow to take you. I was say it was in the pack. I just didn't know if we had to like do anything with it. I didn't know if we had to show it or you know. I will be doing the my beautiful PowerPoint for orange presentation for you all next month. Okay, that's what I was wondering. I was there do it have to do with something. Okay, so I need a motion to approve the fiscal year 2025 amended budget for display

So, it has to be it takes up to but it will 21 days to certify the election results. So, anytime after April 22nd the uh you can have a reorganization meeting. Um, so look at that week. Larry, it will be the last
047time that you will be put in front of that camera. So, um the 23rd is that Wednesday. You guys normally do Wednesdays. I'm not saying you have to, but um three caster. Yeah, I'm good. Does anyone have an opposition to the 23rd of April? What time? You're all meeting, not mine. Are you doing this separate from because remember last year we did before board meeting. So it doesn't have a separate No, it's it's it's going to be the only board meeting because um again, I also did a webinar on with the attorney on uh I didn't pay for it. It's all free on reorganization. So we're going to it's just going to be one meeting. Okay. Um but there's not going to be any action items. It's it quite frankly is going to be um
048um approval of this meeting's minutes and approval of the quasi short meeting that you have. You'll then say, "Thank you so much for your service, Mr. Heron or Mr. Herren Mr. Herman. I'm sorry. I'll text me your name. Um, and then at that point in time, uh, Miss Beld will actually temporarily transfer presidency to Miss Flores as the most senior member of the board at that time. You're not supposed to do it to him. It's always supposed to be the board member's hand. I learned things I learned. Yeah. Um at that point in time she'll seek nominations for president and then once president's assigned that person takes over the rest of the meeting and then you guys confirm the meeting days for the rest of the year and you're done. So on the 23rd I
049definitely can't get here before 6 just every day or just that day? It's a Wednesday so that's kind of like our normal. So as you see I got here like right before 600. That's pretty much my norm for Wednesdays for sure. What days of the week is earlier? I could probably be here like by 5 if it was a Tuesday or a Thursday. What about the 24th? Which is a Thursday? It's a Thursday. Would you rather do that? We have baseball like every day that we I mean your guys' meetings are normally at six o'clock. I would I would recommend keeping it at 6:00. I just hate having you stay for a short meeting, you know. Okay. The meeting should be more than a half hour, I'm guessing. I know. But for them to stay
050when she gets out, they got to stay all day. The longest part's going to have man Brandy and Ashley reading the oath again. That's the longest part. Yeah. Oh, yeah. But I get to read it off of something, right? I'll get I'll provide you a piece of paper. I'll spell it phonetically. Yes. 23rd at 6. 23rd at 6. April 36. Then we also need to discuss the negotiations meeting that we need to have with the village that they couldn't make for tonight. Um, an option I had come up with their next board meeting. Um, unfortunately it's during our spring break, but it is the 14th. Maybe. Would that work? We could maybe meet before their board meeting. It's what? Larry, me and me. Brandy. Aren't you in negotiations? I will be there. You will before.
051That's the week before. Or you want spring break? Oh, you mean uh it would be like the 14th. Yeah, April 14th. Yeah, they mean at like what? 6. Yeah. So, it would be maybe like 5:00. And I'm not and I haven't reached out to No, this is just an idea. Yeah. Yeah. Miss Mitchell to see if that would work, but I I mean I I would think similar to what you guys wanted to try with today if if a couple of you I wouldn't recommend everybody. I mean, obviously you're always all welcome, but it's the 14. I'm good with the 14th. Okay. So, maybe if that works, let them know the 14th at 5:00 p.m. if that works. Okay. We'll probably meet at the village. Okay. Yeah. I I would assume it'd be meeting at
052the village. Culture tomorrow uh reach out. I just thought that it should be easier for them if they already have a meeting schedule. Kind of like for us here, it's easier just to come a little bit earlier. Um and then did you ever get a date planned out for Larry's dinner? Um, I sent him a text on April 1st and he responded. I was not responsible and and looked at the text that he respond. It says right here you didn't respond. So, um, we'll we'll Okay. Um, I do have one other thing for discussion. It came up uh earlier this yesterday. Um, as you probably know, Cheryl passed away. Very sad. uh she was a wonderful bus driver for her for many many many many many years. Um and so we're looking to um the
053family reached out to us. Um and so one of the things we had talked about is instead of a tree a potential of uh they wanted to do like a buddy bench. Um but we're not sure if the buddy benches are still a thing. I mean they're a thing but not a thing. And we got to think how how personable and how social was. What we'd like to do is actually um on the sidewalk here going out to the main street to Miller Street, put in like a a a bench for kids to that can sit with a plaque that recognizes Cheryl and her service there. So, it's still something on site. It's and it kind of to me embraces more of what Cheryl Cheryl was a personable you can sit down and have a
054conversation, talk to me, tell you a joke. Didn't tell you a joke. Um so, I think that's where we're going to kind of go with. Um I just we're going to start looking around some benches. So, I think that's the that's that's what I'd like to do. And so, as long as the family is is um happy with that, I would be stag to have something with Cheryl's name on here. So, okay. Then for the May 14th board meeting would be approve the amended budget. We have on there. Oh, you have May 9th. May 14th. I just said No, it says May 9th. That's a Friday. Oh, mine says May 14th. It is supposed to be May 14th. Yeah, mine says May. Oh, mine says the 14th. So, there's two items. Oh, that's the approve
055the budget at the 14th amendment down the 14th. Oh, yeah. Should be the ninth, guys. I'm sorry. Oh, should be. It is May 14th. Yeah, it's 14th. 14th. Yeah, it should be the 14th. I'm so confused. Two days under under item 15, it's correct. Under item 16, it's incorrect. Okay. So, then upcoming date as well. Um, other than she's doing an amended budget. She was stressed. Other than the April date we picked on the 23rd for the reorganization meeting, we have May 14th, our next board meeting. May 16th, high school graduation at 700 p.m. at the high school. And May 20th, the junior high promotion at 6:30 at the high school. And April 14th is just for that negotiations. If the village can even do it, it would be negotiations for the negotiation team. It's
056just Yeah. Yep. Um, so and as all the way, if you're uh going to graduation and or promotion, if you can just kind of give me a heads up when we do the stage because by by the time the 14th roll or the 9th even rolls around, we'll already have the stage set up. So that may be if you could tell me by the reorganization that be great. Just over the next month. Yeah, I might text you say, "Hey, are you going?" If you could make sure the text comes back. Oh, do we we need to um announce Oh my gosh, I still forgot about taking applications for the open I can't believe I almost got to the meeting. Um we are taking applications for the open seat that will be with Mr. Herman. Um
057unincorporated. You need to email me. My board email is on the website. It's my name. Um, and we will set up interviews for the week of um, so when you're applying, keep that in mind that you would have an interview for the when do we want the applications due by? Well, when do we have to have a person by? We will have to appoint a person at the May board meeting on May 14th. May 14th. So, we will have to have the legal requirements. The legal requirements are 60 days from the notice of the vacancy on the April 1st I submitted a notice of vacancy to the ROE to say hey beer will have 60 days from election day even though it's not the certification you have to wait till then. Um so I told
058them by the you would probably the 14th May 14th that's what we told the regional office of medication. So the beginning of May we would do interviews. So I would say we're also going to kind of maybe we should go ahead and plan that if possible too where we can get everyone to know that yes, we have to have a meeting that day. So the week of May 5th, could people look at their calendar and let me know if there's any date that absolutely does not work because I would like to set that now. Wednesday. Yeah. So far I have I don't know, but I will Do we how many day are we doing this all in one day? Yes. Okay. It would be one meeting evening. I would say probably try to do no
059starting no earlier than 5:00 because the people that are applying probably have work for jobs or anything like that. Oh, really good. Um and I could always whoever applies I reach out to them what time slot works better. The ones that can come earlier come earlier. I would say if if they want to email if they can't get a hold of you, if they email it to me, I'll I'll make sure that you get it as well. So, u Monday the 5th works for me. Yeah. Would that work for everyone? We're talking about 5:00, right? Because looking at this calendar, I have nothing later in the afternoon. So, that should work. I don't have to be here, but I'll be in Springfield on May 5th. When will you be back? Apparently, I'm coming home May
0606th. Apparently, I think it's Monday. Okay. So, Monday doesn't work. Is there a different day? No, we can't do Monday. Jacksonville. No, but the sixth or seventh day Friday even Wednesday. Okay, so Wednesday the 7th at 5:00 p.m. Wednesday the 5 game, but we'll miss you. Whatever. It'll probably rain. No, you know what? No, it'll be beautiful that day. It'll be 70. Yeah. Okay. I'm coaching. But we will have applications need to be turned in by May 1st. Think that gives everyone enough notice? Yeah, it needs a time notice. Yeah, because then that gives me it gives me time to plan what time they can come on the 7th and give them notice and then it gives you the weekend to look through the resumes because once we get them, I'll send out an email
061with all of them. So that gives us about a week to review them before we interview them and it gives them enough notice for when their interview time is. So that Wednesday, what time are we doing this at? 5. Did you do you can make it that that Wednesday? I It's late in the afternoon. I should be perfectly fine. Okay. So I almost forgot about that. I should have made a note. Okay. So next we need a motion to adjourn the meeting. So moved. Second. All in favor say I. I. Opposed. Meeting adjourned.
