001session. Um, can I have a roll call? Allison, >> Here. Can I have everyone stand for a moment of silence and the pledge of allegiance? We have no public comments. comments. I don't think correct. All right. Say I didn't see any papers. Um and up first we have presentations to the board. We're going to do the GAVC budget presentation and Mr. Cini decided to come. >> Okay. We're going to hold off on that because we're waiting on grants information. Perfect. All right. Can I have a motion to consent? Is spelled wrong. >> Oh, it is. Mhm. Can I have a motion to approve the consent agenda? >> So move corrected. >> Can I Okay. Um, does anybody have any questions or anything about it? And there is no disposable excess property on this one. It
002says it's on there, but we're not disposing of anything. Allison, >> I >> All right. Up next is the building and department reports. I don't think they're even. Okay. Um and then can I have a a motion to consider approval of the GABC dual credit agreement? >> So I move second. >> Um does anybody want to talk about it? >> Say come up here. >> You want to talk about it? Sure. >> Yeah. >> Right. So >> well that's why you're here, right? >> As he's walking up here. So this is a yearly occurrence that we need this so that we can get dual credit and so Mr. seen he can answer any questions and bring up the highlights. >> Has anything changed? >> Yes. So, we've added medical assisting. Uh, and we have changed
003how we do welding. Still going to get the same number of credits, but changed the classes. Um, and then we've removed electrical trades and machining from that um agreement for the upcoming year. >> Ask why? Yeah, there's some things um in chatting with local industry that we think we can better serve our kids not under that um with some more certifications that we could be able to do outside of that. So, I give you an example. One of the things we're looking at is Fanic Robotics certifications for our kids in machining. Pegasus is doing a lot with it right now and um you can take a Fenix robotic certif certifications to about anywhere in terms of employment. Uh so we're I'm looking at getting a purchasing a robot that will train a training cart that
004will train Lonnie to be a Mr. Miller to be a certified issuer of those um licenses and we'll be able to do that uh with our students in those programs. In terms of electrical trades, um the majority of the students that take those classes are going either out to industry or into the apprenticeship and the classes that are set up for the second half, which is a dual credit hat portion of that don't necessarily lead to anything in that if that makes sense. I think we'll better serve our students um in that aspect. Not to say we won't come back to this once we maybe figure some things out but we have removed it for the time being. >> So do you feel and I can't even pronounce what you said Fenton whatever robotics do
005you feel that will attract more students from other schools because we are offering that in our GABC? >> I think so. And I think the other thing it will do we've started a a um registered apprentichip program with Pegasus. We started it this summer. I think the combination of those two things are going to help that program grow. As you know, that one that one for whatever reason hasn't taken off like we want it to. Um, but there's all kinds of jobs available in that CNC program or CNC operator. Every I mean, everybody's looking for those. So, yes, I think that will help to attract more students to that program. >> Thank you. >> Huh? No problem. When you make up the courses for the dual credit, do you basically like combine do you go
006in with Carl Sandberg and you guys talk about what is needed and or do you make up the course work? >> No, we have we I met with them three or four times this year about things we could do about um classes we could potentially offer, but also some logistical and financial aspects of that too in terms of tuition costs and right >> um equipment costs and stuff like that. So, we both kind of have an idea um of what we might be able to offer dual credit. It's just whether or not it can fit in the schedule, whether or not our count I mean there's some logistical stuff that uh you know that has to be considered, but but typically we will come to the table both with ideas. I meet with Ellen Burns
007regularly and I meet with um Carrie Hawinson a couple times a year to revi to to see where we're at. >> Any other questions? Right. Thank you very much. >> Thank you, >> Allison. I >> I >> All right, we have nothing for behavior, citizenship, or the stakeholder this month. Next, we'll move up to the non-strategic plan action items. Can I have a motion to consider approval of the board policies? This is the second reading. >> So moved. >> Second, >> Dr. Aspen. >> Thank you. I sent you a list of recommendations. The biggest changes had to do with uh the federal government's uh and the Supreme Court's ruling on Title N. So, uh a lot of the policies had to be changed because there used to be a different way you had um a
008title N director um could also be the complaint manager and I some of those have been switched up. So, you see I assumed one of those roles. Um the the language basically goes back to language we had five years ago. So, it's not like it's completely foreign to us. it's just reflecting the current law. And then most of the other policies there were just legal updates and and there was nothing major. The other big one was um the service animal one that is not a press policy that that's the one where we need to have a policy that uh so that we can fall back on something when we have a a parent request for a service animal because we are um moving towards that at the high school with one particular student. So, we
009needed to have a policy and we asked our special education attorneys to write that one and uh so that's included as well. >> Any comments, questions? >> Alison, >> hi. >> I have a motion to consider approval of the milk bid. >> So, Second. >> Yeah. So, wasn't it last year it was relatively flat or is it went up every year? >> Um, next year, >> but it doesn't seem to be getting out of control like other things. Oh, >> okay. >> All right. Allison. >> I >> Can I have a motion to consider approval of the bread bid? >> So moved. >> Second. Go ahead. Sorry, can everyone hear me now? Okay. Um, we're recommending uh Pana Gold with an increase of 2.24% from the 2425 school year. Does anyone have any questions? Allison
010>> I can I have a motion to consider approval of the copy paper bid? >> So moved. >> Second. >> We actually saw a decrease in copy paper. Um so we're recommending uh for this year that we go with office essentials out of Springfield, Illinois. Last year we paid 299 a reim for our copy paper and this year the bid came in at 2.88 88 arim. So we're recommending that the board approve the office of central bid for this year. >> Allison >> I can I have a motion to consider approval of risk management plan? >> Move. Thank you. >> So the risk management plan that you have in front of you tonight is um gives us the ability to spend funds out of our tort fund. Um this is something that we do every
011July in the very back page 15 and 16 of the risk management plan is the budget for all the intended cost items. Did anybody have any questions? >> Allison. Hi. >> Hi. I >> I >> Can I have a motion to consider approval of the district 205 FY26 tentative budget? >> So move. >> Second, >> Sam. So we typically present the budget in August once we have all of our state federal um grants in place as well as our EBF funding. This year due to the calendar um we do not have 30 days between the August board meeting and the September board meeting which the board has to have the budget set for 30 days. So we're presenting it a little bit early. We do not have evidence-based funding numbers yet. Those are coming the
012first part of August from the state. So this is an anticipated budget um for both the district and then also for GABC which is the next action item. There will be changes that I will be presenting. We should hopefully have all of those by August 12th. Um, our expenditures are pretty well set in place. Um, Miss Richie will be doing a few more hires. Um, we're actually in a really good place where hiring is concerned. Um, and so we don't anticipate seeing very many changes on the expense side, but there will be some changes on the revenue side. So, I'll go into more detail um, in August with a presentation once we get that um, evidence-based funding number from the state. Okay. Um, we can just voice vote this. >> I >> And can I
013have a motion consider approval of the GAVC FY26 tentative budget? >> We'll move. >> Second. >> And the JVC budget is very similar. Um, we do not have final numbers on Perkins and CTE. So hopefully uh by the time the board reconvenes in August, we'll have those and we'll have more firm numbers in terms of the revenue side. uh expense side is is very on target um and shouldn't change a whole lot from what is in the anticipated budget. >> Yes, please. >> I >> um um we are going to table item H for next month. >> Go ahead. >> Yeah. So I will be meeting with uh representatives from ROE 33 to discuss some outstanding issues with this um memorandum of understanding. So, uh, if it does come back, it will come back next
014month for your approval, probably modified or at least addressed with the concerns and delineated out. We can have a discussion about it. >> And up next, item I can I have a motion to consider approval of the adult meal price increase for the 2526 school year. >> So move. >> Second. >> Okay. Uh this spring you approved lunch prices for both students and adults and a new policy came out from um the federal government stating that it is a change um from how we previously priced adult meals and that with the current reimbursement an adult meal has to be 50 cents a minimum of 50 cents higher than the student meal from what we're receiving reimbursement. So that's caused us to have to go back and make adjustments um in those prices for 2526. So,
015we're increasing the adult breakfast from $2.70 to $3.35 and um the adult lunch from $3.80 to $55 based on these new federal guidelines. >> Allison, >> I >> Thank you. All right. Can I have a motion to consider approval of the job descriptions? >> So, move. Second >> to say something. >> Sure. Uh Mrs. Richie, you have your microphone there already. You added one at the end of the >> central kitchen, >> right? We have we have several in there, but one was added new. So, >> the new job description added was for school secretary. Previously, there were several different job descriptions for our secretarial roles. And in an effort to streamline um the job descriptions, not to make any changes to anyone's particular duties, but just to take the information held in each of
016those separate ones, place them into one um job description for ease of crossraining um which is an important thing for us. Um and so with some feedback from the union, we did make one small change today and that is in um item 13. So item 13 for about half of the secretarial job description stated that um the secretary would with a school nurse or health professional monitor students for signs of illness notify guardians. Responsibilities may include administering first aid or medications and we added the word voluntarily there. Um the state guidance stipulates that that's voluntary. That has always been voluntary for all secretaries. It's voluntary for any staff member that would engage in that. um work for us, could be a pair professional, could be an administrator, but we did add that language because that
017is what is stipulated by the state. So that's the only change to that job description today. >> Thank you very much. >> You're very welcome, >> Allison. >> I have a motion to consider approval of the personnel report. >> Thank you. Um Allison >> I >> abstain >> I um can I do grievance update or foyer requests? >> Yeah. Um sorry. Uh I have neither. So there's there's no update really to talk about and there were no foyers other than an AI generated one that we denied. So you know because it really didn't exist. >> Okay. Um up next is comments by the board. I'll start with member Sherpie, >> member Staithm, member Harter. >> No comment. >> Member Taylor, member Phillips, >> no comment. >> Me neither. Does anybody want anything on the agenda
018next month? All right. Our next meeting is Monday, August 11th, 2025 at 7 p.m. Can I have a motion to adjurnn? So move. Second. >> All in favor? I >> Thank you, everyone.
