001[Music] i call to order this regular meeting in the bullhead city elementary school board on the hearing there's we're doing the budget it's on here at 2.1 and that's when you that you have to have the five-minute hearing before six okay the public hearing so we have to do the salt order and the oh sorry [Music] oh high five right uh this meeting at bullhead city elementary school board on thursday uh may 12th 2022 at 5 55 p.m roll call corey burgess here charlene diaz here anna boyd here uh pledge of allegiance if you'll all join me for the pledge item 2.1 uh public hearing to convey a public hearing pursue pursuant to ars 15 948 c and d 15 905 150 501 15 962 d 151103c for review of proposed fiscal year 2022 expenditure
002budget revision number three at this time we are open to comments from the public for our hearing on our proposed budget yes so yes sir i have a two questions come on please first of all good evening good evening my name is fred rushton and uh i was just looking on the back side of the sheet and i noticed that the federal projects line item fund has been increased by 111 and i see many of the other percentages some of them being decreased by 100 but i was curious about why that federal project budget line was increased by that much what it might be used for and also i had a question about where is it down the second from the bottom about the food services i'm assuming that means uh providing the lunch service
003for the students i was just curious about why that decreased was there a decrease in the population but i just had those two questions thank you for clearing that up for me i will try to clear it up for you so on on the federal funds last year the seven million three hundred and thirty seven thousand was our usual federal funding title one title two rural title four those things plus the sr1 funny funds which were covid relief funds the first set of those it looks so much bigger this year because we also have sr2 and sr3 funds so i'm kind of glad that i left my posters up over here so you can see that the sr1 funds were about a million four hundred thousand if i'm remembering correctly and so that 7.337 would
004have included that for last year and then this year the 16 647 000 would include the 4 million from sr2 and the 10.3 million from sr3 food service which is account 510 part of the reason that is down is because we get funded based on student enrollment and our enrollment last year was down because of covid so we started with less money in that in that program it will be back up because our enrollment has come back up not not quite 50 of the students we lost so at some point it will come back up but this reflects what it is right now for this year it may go up higher for next year you're welcome do we have any other questions all right so i need a motion to adjourn our hearing i'll move

013before last i met with them briefly on the friday before i had to leave town and we have a what you would call a clean audit there are no critical issues they will present to us probably 10 to 15 recommendations for us to change some procedures we're doing and then there's one other item it's not a finding but it is a recommendation that i will be coming back to the board to discuss something that we've done for years that's been a good thing for employees but we have not been doing it quite correctly so it's something we can fix easily so i'll bring that to another board meeting positions we had as of today we had 38 positions well no as of two weeks ago we had 38 teaching positions opened and our principles have
014been very busy we filled 12 of those in the last couple of weeks kind of surprising actually giving given the teacher shortage and those things we're very pleased to have filled that many and they continue to work hard at that they've also moved some folks around and and within their within their sites i just wanted to call attention to you that for whatever reason this has been the year of multiple audits so in addition to that regular annual audit we've had the civil rights audit it started last july and it took until the end of february to be completed because they wanted three years of data relative to all kinds of things that have to do with civil rights this happens every three years and it takes a great amount of time and we submitted
015it and it's clear so we're good on that one two weeks ago well actually about six weeks ago we started a self audit on the food service program and then the inspector was here from ade last week and sat down with us with his findings and we had a very good audit report from him there are some things once again here's some procedural things for us to clean up but nothing serious and he said he was very pleased with what he found he was pleased with what he saw in our cafeterias he went and watched meals and and things going on he was pleased with that we're also in the middle of an adm audit so the ade checks for the previous three years what was submitted to ade as our average average daily membership
016reports that go to ade and then they compare those to our actual documentation and then they pull the files the queue records the permanent records of a percentage of our students to check to see if the information in those files matches what's on our computers matches what's gone to the state and so we have about completed that so needless to say jenny particularly has been busy with all these audits because a lot of it had to do with student information and those kinds of things and then in addition to that we had had an open records request from a reporter in phoenix who wanted all of our disciplinary records back five years and that took a great amount of time because if you recall this is only our second year using synergy and the pre
017prior three years we're in powerschool we have all the data it's there but we could not immediately access it so we had to work with powerschool and convince them to get that you know get us access to reading the data that was there that finally got sent today that's taken about eight weeks for us to do because we couldn't access those records right away so um we've been busy with auditing and public record requests the last thing i have is a very big thank you from all of our employees for appreciate staff appreciation day everything that i heard was good they appreciated the food had fun with it and i can't you can't quite believe how much fun the adults had just with gift cards you know because you drew a ticket and and i
018was at fox creek representing corey and you would have thought that they were little kids because they were so they didn't even care what amount was on the card they were so excited about did my name get did mine get drawn and you know they were just they were like kids so um a thank you from all of them for a really successful day any questions for dr stewart all right item 4.6 board member updates do we have any updates from the board item 5 the consent agenda do we have a motion to adopt a consent agenda i'll make a motion that we adopt the consent agenda i'll second that all in favor aye corey burgess aye charlene diaz hi anna boyd item 6.1 fiscal year 22 main maintenance and operation and unrestricted capital budget
019revision number three dr stewart mr president and board members uh it's always a pleasure to be able to come to you and say our budget has increased we've had some years when that has not been the case so it's it's a pleasure to say that we have an increase in student enrollment and as you know the state looks at our adm every single month and they adjust how much money they send to us the next month by the variations from the previous month but overall our enrollment is up about 112 students not weighted 112 students and then there's the weighting wei ght ing for some of those students so that resulted in a significant amount of money and then as i was going through the calculations page and and those things i found a place
020that i had not filled in in december and so our increase in the in the m o budget is about 735 000 i knew in december that we had a limit a capacity limit for capital that was greater than we had budgeted um but i didn't do anything with it then at this point i felt like we needed to put it in the budget and make sure that we have it so that whatever is not used we roll over to the new year so that was about two hundred thousand dollars so um good good news in this budget most of these extra funds i have put in reserve accounts partly because we only have about six weeks left in this fiscal year and i don't think we could responsibly spend money in those six weeks
021but more importantly we are not sure what the legislature is going to do relative to the aggregate expenditure limit next year and i would like to have a reserve line to cover some funds in case we get stuck like we might have gotten stuck this year of having the money and not being able to spend it and and so not budget those dollars and then try to figure out how we could cut back so that's what we intend to do with that so i request your approval of revision number three any questions and i'd like to make a motion that we approve uh the adoption we we adopt a revision of the fiscal year 22 budgets i'll second that motion all in favor aye corey burgess aye charlene diaz hi anna boyd item 6.2 of
022classroom site fun plan for the school year 22-23 mr president and board members this is a document that comes to you every year you have we have a committee that is elected by the teachers at each site who operate this plan make sure that it works they do the paperwork and those kinds of things but one of their responsibilities each year is to recommend a plan for the following year this year our emphasis was on trying to make the plan as simple as it could be and to be very much in the spirit of the original intent of proposition 301 which was in what 2000 or 2001 something like that so the plan reflects that the the base pay plan the fifteen hundred dollars that we have been paying our employees that in the past
023has been part of their salary so in other words the base salary right now is 38 000 and for the current year and in previous years the 1500 was part of that i suggested and the the committee liked the idea that we put that outside of what's on the salary schedule and if you approve this plan then next month i will bring you a revised salary schedule where the schedule will look very much the same but we will state that there is a base pay edition of fifteen hundred dollars on there the second part is for many years our teachers have earned points by helping with school activities things that are not funded in any other way so if it's something that's not funded by title or by 21st century or by addendums for coaching
024and club sponsorships that folks could earn some points for that that used to be tied in with what now is component two of this and so you had your points and then you had these other things and all of it went together for the rest of the money the committee suggested we separate that and assign a specific amount of dollars per point with a maximum of 10 points the 10 points is what we've done for years and years and years and that way then we can very much say to folks if you do if you're with us you have 1500 from classroom site fund and if you make your 10 points you have another thousand dollars then all of the rest of that performance pay is tied to things that we expect teachers to do
025anyway and that have been part of the plan in the past so those are not new items they're not change the teacher's evaluation their growth plan and their participation in the school improvement plan those were all parts of this in the past it's just separating out those two things one of the nice things for this of separating out the the activities points is that everybody knows that if they do these things this is a given and i agreed to those amount to recommend those amounts of money because historically the funding that we've gotten for classroom site fund more than covers twenty five hundred dollars per year per employee but the rest of it always floats because it's based on sales tax so for instance last year the the amount per student was 425 dollars per
026student in our enrollment this year the amount is 735 dollars per student so 425 dollars per student is more than enough to cover the 2500 and and then the floating amount becomes just this last piece the other piece i left out is that there is a component that has to do with paying for salaries for right now for six teachers in the district six teacher positions in the district to help with class size reduction so that's always been there the components you see in this plan have all well maybe not always but they certainly have been here as long as i can remember and we've just rearranged them a bit and simplified the process so i'll answer any questions you might have so the fund is funded from the previous year's tax returns right well
027i presume that the state determines that amount based on the sales tax they had the previous year yeah okay the reason i asked that we're setting in a 2500 fee and it's a rollover when do we ever catch up 400 700 that's an awful lot of money to be sitting in a rollover we don't roll it over i will tell you that the 1500 gets paid in salaries okay and the and the 2500 um i mean these these are all dollars out of this year's money that's is coming to us from the states so they send us a 12th of the total and and actually in the budget not a page i gave you but in the budget is the page where it shows those dollars okay so they pay us 1 12 each month
028and and so we're covered right at the pretty much right at the beginning certainly covered at the beginning for the 1500 and then as people you know they don't get paid the thousand until the end um and then that then the rest of it what has happened in the past is that the district has usually made a payment made that payment of whatever's left because that's really what it amounts to everything that's left everything that did not go out in the 1500 and everything that did not go out in teacher salaries whatever was left got divided amongst the people who were here okay they tended to pay for it in june which meant we had not yet gotten the may payment and so we get the may payment in sorry we get the may payment
029in june we get the june payment in july and what the district has done in the past is take those two payments and for people who return that's divided among the people who return so this 2500 is a guaranteed base and at the end of the year whatever's left is yes that's what i was getting yeah i'm sorry yes yes here's 2500 bucks right 3 400 a year ago 700 this year that's a whole lot of money different well it is because that's per student yeah yeah and yeah it's all going to get divided yes yes okay yes and i will tell you saying they're only getting 24. no no no no no no no no no i'm sorry but that's a guarantee and the only thing in the old plan the only thing they
030were guaranteed was the was the 1500 and it was part of their whatever their salary was on the salary schedule okay um and that's not what prop 301 that's not what prop 301 intended and so i will tell you i'm the one who took this to them and i will tell you it took two meetings for them to really understand what i was saying to them because they finally they said you really you really mean that this is going to be in addition to our yes that's what i mean oh they didn't yeah yeah but i'm thinking that was it no yeah yeah no no no no all the rest of it okay so you're looking at you're looking at appendix b okay so this is the page that that says whether they get a
031hundred percent of all of the rest of that money or 50 or whatever so it's time and it's tied to three things they have to do anyway right i like the plan okay the rest yeah because i was reading this and just my fault no fifteen hundred dollars at its base a thousand dollars if you did your ten steps yep and that's it no it's everything else that's a fluctuating amount it is and we've always covered it's been higher than 2500 every year my question was where's the rest of it right now that i know that it's at the end of the year right i'm good before you ask anna and the reason that i held them to the 2500 is historically looking back through the budgets i know we can cover the 2500. now
032how many teachers are in that section that has to do with classroom class size reduction right now that's six positions okay when i came to the district it was nine we had to cut it back because that per pupil thing had dropped from i don't know what to 425 well that's a huge cut i mean even if it was 600 that's a huge cut just like right now from 400 to 700 is a big jump um but i knew that we could i knew we could guarantee unless this whole thing goes away or people stop buying things in arizona we can guarantee the 2500 and some positions in that other budget okay so then this leaves everything else so anna your question and then i have one more piece of information for you okay so
033the only thing is okay so is this paper just for the guaranteeing of the 2500 no or is there a statement in here that that lets them know that they would get that extra yeah at the end kim will you go uh go back a little more i just because i didn't see so i wouldn't make sure that okay okay right here so you see uh component two yeah okay component two is the one that tells you the annual funding that is not expended in the base pay plan and the maintenance and operations plan which is the paying for teachers will be distributed to teachers okay so the basement where is that the base no the base pace is 1500 the 1500 is 1500 the thousand is if they earn their 10 points but they
034could earn eight points and get 800 of it yeah so that's freestanding yes still part of yes the top component yes the second component is this yes oh okay okay okay okay okay so that's that's what i was sure because i thought component two was the thousand dollars okay okay so basically here you're guaranteed 1500 on your paycheck type stuff then here's another thousand at the end if you do all your site and student activities and then whatever's extra here's component two yeah you know yeah absolutely okay okay okay the rest of the money and it'll be the rest it'll be the rest of the money uh up through the may payment which comes in june and teachers liked the idea that we could wait one more month because that means that the people this
035year who've earned it are get as much of that money as they can i can't i can't pay them for money we haven't received yet so um so the what they get then in august that's the that really was the june payment that's really small you know it's a couple hundred bucks or something but um but that means that the people who were here this year get the bulk of the money now the thing i will tell you is for this year be so this is going to be i'm hopeful that nobody thinks this is bait and switch because it isn't but this year we actually only filled three of the six positions that are were budgeted for these funds so the the budgeted part for the other three now rolls into this pool of
036money even better yeah uh there were um so you know so it's going to be that's a big chunk and there are a number of teaching positions we did not fill this year so there's fifteen hundred dollars times however many positions those were that we did not that were budgeted it is going to be an amazing prop year okay but i want you to know that when i come back to you next year uh if if the let's say the money stays at 7 25 and they haven't told us they usually tell us by the middle of march what the dollar figure is going to be for next year i don't know why they haven't told us but they haven't it kind of scares me that they haven't told us but the thing is that
037next year let's say we fill all those positions and let's say the money stays the same at 7 35 or whatever it is right now the prop payment won't be as big so i want you to realize that when that happens and somebody goes how did we have the same total and we got less money well it's because we spent it the way we budgeted how many teachers are on staff too absolutely yeah i just wanted you to be aware i was wondering oh yeah i was reading it the same way because component two was for the thousand and i was like oh this makes sense all right and the committee has already this is there and it has been approved at every site we had to have seventy percent uh employ uh teacher approval
038from every site for this to come to you as the board and um i think we had about 95 percent approval excellent i would like to uh make a motion that we approve the classroom site fund i'll second that motion adapter i'm cory burgess hi charlene diaz hi anna boyd hey i have 6.3 approved the acceptance of internet connections e-rate fund for the and issue purchase orders dr stewart mr president and board members if you recall a while back james presented e-rate applications and these have been these were approved and we got quotes for them and so we're recommending that we go ahead and accept these awards from the e-rate uh and pay our fifteen percent any questions no no it looks good i'd like to move item six point three i'll second that motion
039all in favor aye corey burgess aye charlene diaz hi anna boyd i am 6.4 teaching positions mr president and board members i am requesting some additional positions out of mno budget because what we wanted to happen which is less need for transition classes after this year from this year to next year so those positions were funded out of esser funds and we don't need them but we need we still need the teaching positions so i'm requesting approval for four positions in mno that move back from esser into mno and then i'm also requesting that we reinstate one of the elective positions at fox creek that we put on hold for this year we did that bef when we didn't know how many kids we were going to have and we just held it and then
040just never filled it so i'd like to have that one reinstated and these are in dis in addition to um uh oh and there's one other one um uh no two fifth grade positions uh these were all those positions uh those four positions were all paid out of esser and and we want to reabsorb those so um i'd like your approval to do this in addition to um the previously approved positions and these are sustainable positions yes and that was our dire that was what we were hoping to do anyway so the fact that we're getting students back means that you know we can pull these back into our budget any questions i'll second that motion all in favor hi corey burgess aye charlene diaz aye anna boyd item 6.5 addendums for district committees leadership
041positions club sponsors and coaches mr president and board members i'm getting ahead of the game here i usually bring you this list in august or september and we were working on getting them getting the approval from principals to pay these addendums and i thought and let's just put this on this agenda so we have it on the agenda there may be some um there may be some adjustments later but at least we've got the the base uh base set up and i'll remind you all that you raised the amounts that we paid to these folks last year which they greatly appreciated so i'm recommending adoption any questions i'll second that motion all in favor aye corey burgess aye charlene diaz hi anna boyd 6.6 i had put it revie the new business and she had
042put it in the consent agenda so you've already approved this all right okay 6.7 that was fast aspa services dr stewart mr president and board members we are members of the board is a member of the arizona school board association and we do participate heavily in their policy services as well as in their uh subscriber manuals and in their trainings and all of those kinds of things um we've not had this kind of a contract from them before or this kind of request or agreement from them before so when i got it i knew that i would need to bring this to the board if you notice excuse me if you notice it is they're requesting a commitment for four years and most of the other things in the agreement are exactly like they've been
043um i had one problem it's a year-to-year contract and under their termination clause if we get out for whatever reason we have to pay the whole contract so even if we do a year-to-year contract and we decide we want to be anymore we're still paying um i would like to send it back to asba until we want to be on a one-year contract and if they don't want to do that they will [Laughter] then we will figure something out i don't have a problem with asba i just have a problem with telling me oh you're going to be on a year on your contract for and it's a four-year renewal so you you do every year but i mean like with any election service what happens if something goes awry and the new board wants
044to get out we've tied their hands they can't i'm not comfortable with that so i'd rather let them make the decision each year when they come around and if they want to make a change they can make a change um we're still going to live up to our part if we sign a year contract we're going to pay our contract i'm not saying what we're going to get out of the contract but under termination the amortized fee 48 months times the monthly rate minus the subscription you pay the whole thing i'm not okay with that so they just let's just go on a year to your contract and that's what it's always been we've done it yes and now they're wanting to go four years but we just want to use your contract carolyn did
045they give you any reason why they changed that no they just sent they sent the document okay and i think i'm sure they send it to every you know every member district right yeah i have my i have my suspicions but they didn't say okay i'm okay with sending it back and telling them we want one year only we'll do a year at a time see what happens see what they say um you probably should make that a motion and move the current contract resubmit to asp on a one-year contract i'll second that motion all in favor aye corey burgess i'm charlene diaz hi anna boyd so if they agree with one year absolutely so item um submission of proposed issues for consideration for the 23 political agenda mr president and board members this is
046the opportunity that the board has to put forth to the executive committee of asba the things that you would like for them to emphasize or consider or push you know to the next legislature obviously this one's about over every year they create an agenda with the input that they get from board members board governing board members of sba aba sba and um and and then they present those to the delegate assembly of the last at least the last three years we've not sent anybody to that delegate assembly but you always have as a as a board the right to elect somebody or send somebody to represent your board at those decisions so i just wanted to be sure that everybody especially since we have several new people recognize that you this is an opportunity that
047the board has to say for example we really want asba to push for state funding for all-day kindergarten i'm using that as an example and i'm using it as an example because this board has done that in the past that's been one of the specific ones the board has done in the past so it's an opportunity for you to say hey asba you represent us this is important to us and if enough different boards say that same kind of thing of course it becomes one of the items on there on their agenda so if you have things that you would like to put forth this is a good opportunity and we may not be ready for what ideas you want and it isn't it isn't due yet no but i want you to have time
048and then we tell the public this is the things that we want aspa i have attended this conference in the past but it was in years past um it works out really well basically they take your ideas they if the board sits out there they tell you this is what we're talking about it's discussed it's voted on as a body of asba and they make the decision and move forward i've had many suggestions that we've given some went over well some they didn't like that's kind of what happens you know when you have a body like that um but i like being able to have to have a say and we do have to say um doesn't mean and many of mine have been shot down but i get kind of used to that right
04927 years [Laughter] um so yeah it's we have time so if you have ideas bring them um and any idea let's talk about it as a board we send those in and as dr stewart said anybody that wants to attend that if you haven't been to any of the aspa training i highly recommend it because it is fantastic training but fitting sometimes fitting that into your schedule you should have the time you should have the timeline in some of the asba information that comes to you regularly uh i saw it the other day and i'm sorry i can't cite for you which one of the little announcements but you don't have a huge amount of time but you do have a little bit of time and as corey said it's a pretty good example of
050the democratic process um you know in in a smaller setting so um so be thinking about it and maybe we can come up with some ideas for next meeting put in the workshop we can talk about okay ideas and that way we can get a little bit ahead of it so when it comes closer to that crunch time we have an idea where we want to go okay all right so let's um we just don't need to take action on that no that's okay i wanted you all to have a chance to talk about it i don't know that we need to okay we'll move on item 6.9 governing board policy revised regulation j-i-c-a-r-a student address mr president and board members the superintendent's advisory committee employee advisory committee has met several times on this one
051if you remember they were the group that presented to you the adult dress code regulation and and they felt like we needed to renew review and update the student one so you can see things that have been struck and you can see some things that have been added and some of the things that have been added have made this consistent with the one for the adults and others are items that apply to students and might not apply to adults so um as i say they've spent about three meetings going over this a very good discussion and um role playing sort of we had some devil's advocates and we had lots of discussions so um they're very they're very much wanting us to not just have this revised version or a revised one but that we
052make sure that is stated the same way in all of our handbooks and then of course that it's um carried out by not just administrators but by teachers and and folks in the school so if you have questions suggestions things you want to change they know there might be changes okay you go first can we go to the top um the the pants uh we're adding with no holes shreds sprayed edges overalls skirts or pajamas um i'm all about the no holes and shreds i'm all about that i do have a concern we get some students especially young ones that may fall tear some pants get a fray in there and what if that's their only pair of pants all of our all of our health offices have have clothing and so if that happens
053um the student is offered clothing yes but what kind of clothing like are we like because if you're talking about someone who's like they only have two pairs of jeans and they rip both of their pairs of jeans and it has a hole in it when they go to that office do they get a new pair of jeans they might or might not be brand new they may have been gently worn that somebody has done it but they are jeans okay we try to give them something similar yeah yeah that's why i'm just like like are they gonna be walking around with hot people no no no no no no it's gonna be it's going to be similar it's going to be similar similar as we can make it you know we don't have a
054whole clothing store in our health offices but we do have we do have um you know selection and of course sometimes it's going to be a little bit determined by size and and those kinds of things but our health attendants are really good about uh you know about collecting those kinds of things and and having them available so yeah we're not going to cite some student for a dress code violation for something that happened you know an incident that happened on the playground kind of thing also on that same one skirts or pajama pants pajama pants i am 100 thrilled with no pajama pants right that's a problem for me but you have joggers you have other types of pants that aren't pajamas are they included in that no they had a long discussion about
055pajama pants they're talking about the flannel baggy drag around the waist they they did talk a little bit about the difference between maybe if they were a plain flannel as opposed to one with bunnies or hearts or football symbols or whatever and they decided no let's just say no pajama pants that way we nobody has to make a judgment the only judgment is are they pajama pants meaning the flannel baggy ones or are they not pajama pants at the very end final decisions made by site administrators exactly [Music] where there's a couple more i had if we go down further i don't see it there ah yes the closed toed shoes part um kim if you'll just roll it up just enough to see the bottom of the other page okay so you notice that
056it used to say encouraged they were all adamant so recognize that this is a this is a committee that has two teacher representatives from each site it has a representative of health attendants it has a representative of a clerical staff and it has a representative of our paraprofessionals uh transportation has a representative but he doesn't usually get to the meetings so but it's a you know we're talking about a very representative group of our employees and they were adamant that uh because of safety they're seeing real safety issues even at junior high with shoes that don't have closed toes and so they pushed that and they had a long conversation about crocs because those are of course close close toes um they decided nope if we say it has to they have to have some
057kind of back on them so you notice that addition of with a back so crocs usually have the little strap they're like more likely to stay on feet if the strap is up so they really wanted it to be that and they very much wanted to make sure that students must wear appropriate shoes for pe so that means they might have to have a second pair of shoes for students who don't we go to legacy shoes appropriate shoes would be shoes that would be appropriate for pe are among the items that legacy gives to our students as part of the backpack program so they always have available to us shoes so if we have a student who you know maybe has one pair of shoes and we know that's the case with some of our
058kids all they have to do is ask and we'll take care of it that's awesome i did have one more sorry go ahead one more time go ahead because it kind of plays into the whole physical education thing um i'm so i don't know how else to put this but junior high boys stink out they do and i'm okay it's it's not reserved to just junior high yeah fourth grade high school very stinky yeah it just goes it just keeps going just just don't stop at an age perfumes cologne senate deodorant soap senate hair gel aerosol products are prohibited at school i got a problem with that because some kids need well but here's the thing is that deodorant comes in a stick yeah but it says scented deodorant so that's that's so but you
059can get unscented stick and understand and they they leave it in their backpack and use it after pe okay okay i'm just saying so i i also don't particularly like this one i understand if you said no aerosol products you know no aerosol deodorants no perfumes no axe body spray to take your shower in those kinds of things and stuff but it says yeah but i i disagree with the the deodorants part um and mostly because you know sometimes that might be the only one that they have that was the only one that was 99 cents or that was the only one someone gave them and i don't want to limit it and like i'll be honest with you i mean i i my mother-in-law had extreme fragrance allergies and she could not tell when
060i was wearing scented deodorant okay but she could tell if i was wearing perfume or a scented lotion but not a scented deodorant she couldn't tell like and i mean her face would get all red and her eyes would start puffing i mean we handle it in a specific situation when a kid has an allergy we deal with it that doesn't mean well that's that's why i was saying like the deodorant part if you wanted if they changed it to aerosols i think that would be a lot better we could take out the deodorant part if you want leave the other things are you comfortable with that i mean yeah i mean i i personally don't like it when kids like spray spray in my classroom and stuff so i would yes that's what i'm
061just i'm literally like a kid walks down the hall and you're like you know what i mean so i i had actually be perfectly fine with not having aerosols in school but not banning them from say putting some on before they leave the house per se because i mean nothing nothing you say is going to stop them from oh no and the intent there is not to say they should not use it but [Music] personally maybe strike off like the the santa deodorants but you could and i would agree with this because i've gotten some aerosol deodorants that were very like made my i couldn't use them because my husband was sensitive to them so if there was a way to add no aerosols okay right then that would that would do the well they
062have we have no aerosol products okay okay okay sorry i got so stuck on the deodorant deodorants is one of the items so so strike yeah so strike off the deodorants okay who brings soap to school well i mean maybe there should be a rule about they must have deodorant with them i actually have some in my classrooms that for little little ones that i buy that when they have emergencies yes you can get little ones that they throw in their backpacks it was a fun car i still have them in my house okay my only um i i have no problem with the with the um dress code at all but um i would like to encourage strongly encourage teachers to adhere to it absolutely because many times i've walked into classrooms and students
063have hats on or they have their jackets on that are not whatever their school is or you know yes so we have the dress code yes it needs to be consistently because i can go into one classroom and it's like you know strict and then another one it's just whatever right so and that was and that was made clear by the committee as well it's it was just not the kind of thing that i would bring to you all with something in writing so i will say one more thing i don't particularly like it as a teacher if your classroom is really cold and that is the only do so do we have jackets for them to wear just in your classroom or something like that because the school approved hoodies and jackets yeah but
064so so does the school have those to give to them that's what i would want to know because if some kids only has one jacket and your class is freezing that kid's not learning in your classroom if you can't put that sweater on but we have another problem then i mean if we i mean if the classroom is that cold then we have a different problem that i need to do everybody's different like i get freezing cold in rooms where other people are taking their sweaters off do you see what i'm saying so that's the only concern i've always had like at mojave ours is more like along a bunch of different colors right spectrum that could definitely be on on the the aspect of the site administrator handling that problem because we do have
065a student that does get colder than other students that's something we need to address with that student rather than saying and i'm not a big fan of how we handle our outerwear because it gets abused yes yeah and it needs to be this is our outerwear that's approved in the classroom so if you're cold that's maybe that's your christmas present or we can deal with it another way of maybe we have to find some jackets well they can and that could be well that's what i'm saying it's like there needs to be if we're saying that you have to wear a school approved or school with a logo jacket on there then there needs to be available those kinds of things that's the only thing that i don't like about that is because you have
066kids that can't afford those things they can't afford it for christmas i think i spent three years of my high school year not even having a christmas so on the individual basis so and then but then you're going to have the arguments from other kids why do they get to wear it no no no no no wear that jacket because if we have somebody who's freezing out of class then then we'll figure it out we'll figure it out okay changing what the dress code is or or making those because that's going to be i believe that is going to be the minority that's going to be the exception and we do usually have we do usually have some of those sweatshirts in the health office in that clothing we don't usually have as many of
067those as we might have jeans or socks or even underwear because we do provide that for some students as well or school shirts we usually have lots of school shirts so um you know so there are usually a few of the sweatshirts if we need them okay but on another knock the kids can wear a regular um outside sweater sweatshirt underneath their school shirt yeah so as long as that logo that school shirt is showing with the logo they can have a sweatshirt underneath that it doesn't have to be a school sweatshirt underneath it so that would be beautiful and we have lots of kids who do that yeah we have lots of kids who do that to solve that problem right well we can those can be addressed in and yeah the principals can
068figure that out there's nothing that is set in the stone there's an exception to everything okay um but i'd like i like the idea to be consistent that's that's my big this is where it is this is what is expected and this is how it's going um because it's going to make everybody's life easier when that's the case yeah i know that the one thing that i hate hearing is you know sixth hour well nobody else dress coded me yes they did you went you win the bathroom and change it when i'm the one that caught you first hour here you are six hour away and okay yes you did you changed so but we get that consistently that expectation going um that's that's great i like it okay any any other so really all
069we're asking is the change of strike scented deodorants strike that pretty much okay we can do that all right um okay we need a motion i'll move that we accept the um dress code revised regulation j-i-c-a dash r-a student dress with change of striking this the center deodorant i'll second that all in favor aye corey burgess aye charlene diaz aye anna boyd uh we didn't take action so it died there was no motion uh because it's not due yet so we're gonna we're gonna put in our workshop but later so we can discuss come up with some ideas of what we like to see uh so we just said we instructed to have it on a future agenda uh a future workshop no worries uh where am i 66 yes 610 item 610 governing board
070policy new exhibit jqec student fees fines and charges mr president and board members um following your discussion last month in approval of the trip for bullhead city middle school to washington d.c we had some discussions about that that should be a recognized club and because there's money involved that needs to come through accounts whether it's tax credit money or donations it still needs to come through accounting and so lance was familiar with some things that had happened in other districts where clubs needed a formal approval by the board we've not done that in the past but given given the nature of this club where there's quite a bit of money going to be raised he did he did the legwork on this and the research and proposed to us this exhibit for clubs going forward
071we're not going to require currently approved clubs to fill out one of these you know after the fact so we'd like your approval on this particular exhibit as part of policy and we will use it first with the club that mrs moss is proposing for that trip and uh for any future clubs it streamlines the process and it makes it formal in this case that um you know that this wasn't just somebody's dream on a saturday afternoon and and the teacher went forward with it that it is a formally recognized part of our programs by the recognized by the i'll board that motion all in favor aye corey burgess aye charlene diaz aye ayanna boyd so i'm out i just uh great uh then i would like to amend my motion to uh approve the
