Um actually we did have one um that we're pretty sure is AI generated. They're all kinds of fun. Um was asking for information on our graduates which were elementary schools, right? Um and then um yeah it okay
002for 6.2 Yeah, just a couple of things real quick to add. Had a a preliminary report last week. Um also, so we met the high school this week. Great conversations. We're going to continue um shared in service days. Um one in the fall and then another in the spring. We're going to uh match their u their calendar again right before Christmas. Um matching their final schedule with our early hours those last three days. We had a a big administrative retreat this week as well. Um have a great lineup set for our opening day teacher institute. So that's going to be super productive. Um just as a reminder, Jeff Strauss is going to be this year in that true support role. we really wanted him to be last year and so he'll be supporting the the
003principal at Lincoln week and then um also spending two or three days a month over Blackstone to give space support as well. So we're looking forward to that. Our summer work is going amazing. Um we are by the end of the summer we won't have to worry about heat anymore. No boilers online anywhere in the district. Um, I don't know if you've heard, but the federal government is abolishing title two and title three. Um, kind of rolling it into a one big grant. We don't really know how that's going to look. Not huge dollars for us. Between 60 and 65,000 and that'll probably be reduced. Hopefully, we'll still get between 20 25,000. So, we'll kind of see how that shakes out. And, um, just to let everybody know, we did um, I think this is
004the third year in a row now we've done Every kid gets sent home with a book at the end of the school year to have a little even figure out figure out where to get the money. Anybody has any questions? Are the principles receptive to Mr. Super receptive? No, for sure. He has a a wealth of experience. He's got a style that he brings some great men as well. So you said primarily he'll be at Lincoln. So So our plan for last year was to have him at Lincoln one day a week and then a couple days a month at at Blackstone. Okay. And then with our special ed administration and all of that kind of kufflele um he then was a much greater role in North and so now get back to that original
005not here and there for sure. reports. All right. These were the additional sports that were not included in the original contract with the association. So detailed questions on it. I have one question. Um can you maybe explain to me a little bit more? I know we had a conversation about esports and I asked some questions. Um like what what would the two coaches or why two coaches for something that we're just kind of just starting? Yeah. Really? Because it's going to because we're going to have a seventh grade and an eighth grade and they're each going to and again this is our first year, right? And so we'll just um when we when we try to lay out stipens, we try to look at really what the time commitment is going to be and then
006compare it to what the time commitment is of other activities that we're already doing. Um and so like um for the for the seventh grade club that would be um you start in the in the middle of September and it runs to Thanksgiving. So and it meets twice a week. So you're looking at about about 20 meeting 20 practices, 20 games, 20 whatever. And so that's basically what double the commitment is of our existing inter mural programs for fifth grade. And so we just kind of scale the salary off of that. Um since those since those seasons are going to be running kind of at the same time be a huge ask to have somebody do two days a week seventh grade, two days a week eighth grade. So they do have to be separate
007though. So because otherwise you're going to have to buy double the equipment. Oh, I don't know a lot about and that equipment is, you know, is going to be another, you know, monetary commitment. And so to be able to get the stuff and then be able to share it is something we're trying out for you. Well, I Well, I'm I I don't know what the response is going to be, right? So, I don't I don't know that we're going to have the ability to have 25 seventh graders do That's why I wonder why we were starting with two coaches if we didn't really know yet like if that would be able to fall under one umbrella and seventh and eighth grade come together the same nights of the weekend together. I I think it just
008calls falls under you know we have to start somewhere right and then if we and then if we find out we have 60 go out then that kind of changes our mindset and if we have six go out that changes our mindset right so um but the student response surveys was over the top. So expect to approve as presented. Yes. Esposa. and press policy 118. We did this as a first read second. Espinosa. Yes. The annual fun milk. Do we have any discussion about the milk bid? No. Okay.
