002from fox creek who's an assistant coach and kate hall from desert valley who is also an assistant coach a few of our science of olympiad members are here tonight and they just wanted to show their appreciation towards the board for the support over the past year and for myself multiple years and let you see how accomplished they were this year so you guys want to come up here um we're short a few people due to short notice tonight do we have time so we have seventh graders malachi hack okay seventh grader valeria zambrano seventh grader mike and gonzaga eighth grader chelsea engelhardt and noah beck here in the back and what do you guys want to say to the board i'll let them talk to you um thank you yes yeah sorry um same as
003miss martin said um thank you for your support and everything especially mr mcnutt he came and helped us build our airplane so we got second place on that that was um really exciting um so yeah thank you awesome we got first in the regionals and i'm really happy that we got it i'm really grateful for the support in this team thank you very much welcome [Music] so um and then we went to state competition which as you guys probably know was in phoenix and so we did that really fun experience and we placed third overall which is which was really cool that's excellent yeah because it was really good and we got multiple first places overall which is which is uh the gold one yeah and and multiple second places and multiple third places yeah
004we did we did good this year thanks for single-hard [Applause] so as we were up in phoenix on our wonderful trip uh we went to the science center and we are very grateful for your support and that's that to make it so we could actually go to that awesome yeah awesome anybody else so everybody has a whole handful of ribbons are these for separate events or so there are 23 science olympiad events and we've had four invitationals over the course of the season which started back in october the invitationals were all held remote this year but state was in person and their ribbons are from different events that they competed in throughout those invitationals and regionals medals and trophies from regional assistance noah what was your favorite thing at the science museum my favorite dance
005science museum can you remember back that far my favorite thing was no was no specific thing it was just being able to look around at the different exhibits that they had and all the cool sign stuff it's pretty phenomenal isn't it yeah also we used in experimental design that's one of our events meaning noah and valeria we did experimental design together and we used an idea from the science center um in experimental design they gave us a packet and told us we had the new experiment based on memory yeah so we had seen something at the science center um where like somebody draws pictures um and then they hand it off to another person to look at for like 30 seconds or so and then they have to draw it again without um looking at
006it so we did that as our experiment and i was very hopeful that was the first thing i said when they came back from that competition was we used what we learned yesterday in the science pictures to answer our our question inside miss martin did you tell them that they also made statewide news uh the article that mr ross wrote and put out to the press ended up in the azad news and they were and they were the top article in that uh so statewide you guys your photo and your success has been has been put out to all the schools in arizona greetings make us proud congratulations [Music] yeah yeah and show off those medals should be used he's the shortest one there what are you talking about i don't want to be in
007the picture no don't we need the coaches up there too there you go buddy noah did you see dodgeballs thank you hey why are you not betting on me because jimmy congratulations that's incredible we love to hear the the successes of our students and amazing students we have congratulations and see them and and get to to be a part of it i always love science olympiad you ladies do an amazing job that's all i can get out it really did help us to being able to go down the night before and get a good night's sleep before starting our competition um on saturday morning if we saw a difference in the kids throughout the entire day they weren't like falling down dead by three o'clock they were actually still going and they ran from one
008side of the campus all the way across campus to the other far side as far as you can go from one end to the other so it really helped begin back on the north side for some of thank you for letting us do that this year it was it was nice yeah normally they leave around like 2 a.m and not get back till 2 a.m the next morning so crazy awesome yes thank you so much appreciate you guys coming out awesome on to item 1.4 town hall dr stewart mr president and board members i put this back on the agenda for you all in case there were last minute things anna's been in touch with me melinda's been in touch with me partly because i want to know if there are things you need me
009to do for you for that before next week i will have some things to have on display for folks but if you have things you'd like to have displayed if there are things you'd like me to look up for you let me know and i'd be happy to do that when are we going to get publicity out on it like the url and all that stuff yeah lance has been uh talking about some of that you want to share that mr president members of the board uh ms sobreski uh we've got a strategy on it where we've already had some publicity there'll be additional publicity that we will be putting out some facebook reminders another news release and i don't want to speak for my colleague in the fourth estate behind me but i'm pretty
010sure that the daily news will probably have some substantial precede coverage about it as well okay thank you and i've been giving you trying to send you information as i've been gathering it but there may be things that you know that you decide you want if you're if you're like me you wake up in the middle of the night and go oh i need this information so if that's the case shoot me an email or a text and and i'll be happy to do that uh for you so or if you have questions now and and then otherwise i want to talk to you a minute about the resolution but um what can i do for you so the only thing that i had a question with was uh because we're looking at leasing and
011it's it's further you know the actual agreements and things um have we've gotten a lot of information on how it's like others have done it have we gotten any like the agreements on what they have included in their agreements like their lease agreements or anything the only ones the only one that i've actually gotten the document was the one i gave to you last month from here in the state perfect um probably the biggest advantage of that is it's in arizona and so it probably fits arizona laws and those kinds of things not such detail from other districts but i will tell you that um lausd yeah of course garciala garzioli that i spoke with for probably 45 minutes yesterday he was excited about our project because it's it's different from what they've done and
012he's excited that we get an opportunity to do something that doesn't have all the red tape attached to it like theirs did and he said if any of you want to call him he would be happy to talk to anybody and give information so i think if we asked him specifically for their lease agreement we could get that okay perfect i do have a question um some of the other arizona teachers had um as far as the priority list who you know who gets priority over someone else do we have that no i think that's something about that we have but i think that's one of the things that you all will have to work out in the details okay part of that's going to depend on how many units we can get built you
013know our our original idea even a year ago with what we could do with these funds was probably 15 to 20 units well i will tell you that learning over the last two weeks what ex what has happened with prices we're not going to get there so i think part of that's going to depend on how many units we actually can get can end up financing with with the money we have and of course we're not going to spend any more than we have you know we will have to build we'll have to plan i told this to somebody yesterday because they asked me they said well what happens if there are cost overruns and i said well there can't be there simply cannot be cost overruns so we have to plan smaller and then
014you know and then have some extra money on the end to do add-ons if we need to so i think part of it's going to depend on exactly it's going to depend on how many units we can actually fund if we can do some of the things that were that were involved in the discussion that corey was part of where we might be able to get i don't know in my head i kind of see legos i think corey was seeing legos too but it's kind of these you know pieces you know here's that here's a kitchen living room piece and here's a bedroom bathroom piece and here's another bedroom piece if we can you know if we can find a some resource to do that where that's pretty much already built and you bring
015it in and you set it down and you put the finishing touches on it we're finding that that that's about half the price of stick built right now i think that was those were the numbers we were quoted so the idea is the biggest bang for our buck so for instance we're already moving away from the idea of duplexes because that common wall has to be fire rated so there's an expensive wall it also means garage doors and those kinds of things so we're we're now talking about things that will put more into the actual living space and less into some of those other things so you know every time we turn around we have we have challenges to consider and that's part of the fun other questions okay so in that conversation with al
016yesterday uh at the end he told me several takeaways and i sent the that information out to you today but one of the things he said uh that he would highly recommend based on his experience with la unified's issues and programs is that the board do a resolution that says here's what we're doing here's why we're doing it and make it as a formal resolution because as he pointed out boards change leadership changes and this is a project for the long term this is not one of those one and done kinds of things that would only last as long as the six of us are around for example so i sent you a sample resolution it's not on the agenda for the business tonight but i thought you could give some feedback first of all
017if you know if you'd like to have that on the agenda for next meeting and and secondly if you've got ideas for for what you want it to say his idea was to pick the two or three really core beliefs or values that you have about this project and that's what you state in the in the resolution so i'm open to feedback i know i think that's a good idea because really you know we're not going to be up here for the rest of our lives so correct i don't know [Laughter] the resolution you sent out to us really did look good did you like that yeah okay i think it's a good start for us i think maybe putting it on the agenda for next time would be a good idea okay well um
018yeah i try i went back through the notes to you know went back through all the things you all have said and tried to pick what i thought you'd said the most often and and figured those were really probably the core the core values for this okay we'll put it on the next agenda great thank you all right item 1.5 policies d j g a d m dr stewart well continuing with our review of policies we're getting almost to the end of d we have actually there was d n and i pulled it because i recognized that it does not cover some things that have been practiced in the district and i want to make sure that practice and policy match and that they are legal either either way what we're doing is legal so
019i pulled that one but these are just some of the some of the policies to finish up letter d would you like to look at them okay so this one has to do with sales calls and demonstrations and those kinds of things any questions yeah all right once again sales calls any questions no all right if you have any questions on dk nope if you recall earlier this year we asked you to to do this and i'm a little embarrassed to say i didn't recognize that we had realized at the time that we actually had the exhibit in the policies so we did it correctly all right questions on warrants okay payroll schedule good all right acknowledgements any questions on deductions i will tell you that this one surprised me a bit because we do
020not make a practice of reimbursing people for funds that they spend on their own so i don't know if that's one that you're going to want want to review um at you know and put on the agenda for next meeting or not um we just simply don't do that don't we have a document though if they're getting reimbursement that they fill out prior to this it goes with this they get approval for expenditures in advance about the only thing that we do reimburses meals because because people don't know so that would cover this yes but we don't we don't let people just go shop you know go buy school supplies i'm sorry that didn't sound very good but we don't we don't say to somebody you know somebody says oh i need uh i need
021supplies for my science classroom for instance we don't let them just go purchase science classroom supplies and then give us a bill and expect us to pay it we we don't do that they must have to yeah they must have a requisition and purchase something that's provided that prior authorization has been granted right i was going to say i mean i think this one is pretty safe in the sense of that you have they have to have prior authorization and we have the forms yeah we're we're very strict about it so yeah so i don't see anything wrong with it okay and i didn't particularly i just wanted you to be aware of the fact that we don't ordinarily do that okay any other questions all right that's a given it is a given all
022right any questions on fashion schools okay good excellent all right okay item 1.6 mutual lincoln county sheriff's office safety program dr stewart mr president and board members two months ago i think about two months ago sheriff schuster attended the county superintendents meeting and shared with us that the county sheriff's department has received about a 350 000 grant from the state to improve security at schools and and there were some stipulations of course there always are stipulations with grants but the idea is to one of the things that's been recognized is that when there is a police kind of emergency at school sites communication is a nightmare because everybody's trying to call 9-1-1 everybody's trying to do whatever so having done some research the sheriff's department presented to us this program with a company called mutual
023link and i've sent you some links before i i have them prepared to show you again if you want to see them see a little bit of of what it does but essentially what the program does is it has a a button an app on the phone and everybody has the app everybody employed by the district has the app and it doesn't matter what radio system bullhead police uses bullhead fire the sheriff's department or any other first responders you push the button and the information immediately goes to all of those it overrides 9-1-1 it supersedes any of those things and immediately there is notification exactly where the situation is might not say what the situation is but that there is an emergency that needs to be dealt with this grant would pay for installing whatever
024hardware software that needs to happen and training for folks who are involved for the beginning for a period of time and then the cost to each district to continue that is only about twenty five hundred dollars a year which is really really reasonable for this kind of a service there's not enough there's not enough funding for um for all of the 14 school districts in the in the county and some of the districts recognize that they're not really in a good position for it to work for them anyway but there's not even enough for all of the schools districts that might want um so it's kind of in a way right now competitive until there might be future grants but i wanted to know if you all are interested in having bullhead city school district
025apply and be part of this if we can get chosen for it yeah so it's on the uh did i put it on the agenda i don't think it was i don't think i put it on the agenda i'll put it on the next one but i kind of wanted some you know some ideas before we went forward with this information together and then we can make a decision don't we have the resolution in new business it is a new business so if you're interested i mean if you want to do it but i wanted a chance to to give you a little more information and if you wanted to see a brief video or if you wanted uh you know to see something relative to mutual link and link 360 we could do that
026so i i i would like to see something okay how it works okay um about five minutes yeah it's short it's only about four minutes yeah that one like 360. for over a half century first responders have struggled to communicate across disparate emergency communication systems that rely on proprietary technologies while the events of september 11 brought these communication failures to light 20 years later public safety still relies on fragmented voice communication systems that restrict interoperability between agencies and between responders in the field the solutions that are available today offer limited interoperability and are being deployed in isolation perpetuating communication and information silos until now mutual inc brings true interoperability certified by the us department of homeland security mutual inc is a revolutionary network designed to connect people using any device across any network in any
027situation [Music] mutual link solution enables secure voice video text and data sharing with anyone on the mutual link network when an incident is triggered invitations are sent to responding agencies police fire medical even hospitals and community resources can be invited into a dynamic mutual aid group instantly establishing voice communications over a shared digital infrastructure that integrates legacy systems creating a seamless communication experience and providing inter-agency connectivity beyond voice users can share location information and data that improves situational awareness including floor plans tactical plans evacuation maps sensor network data and real-time video feeds allowing responders to work smarter together mutual link is the only network that powers the connections that truly bring people together to create an informed collaborative emergency response that saves lives and build stronger communities the things when you were looking at what
028looked like a computer screen that's what the person who is thanks for sharing a few minutes of your time i'd like to show you mutual links sorry um that's what the person who is at the main center is seeing and is then able to send out uh two groups and so on the left side of that screen you saw a whole list of people or groups or whatever and they can and they can grab those and put them into uh into the same thing and then they all get the same message at the same time and that kind of thing so there was they did a demonstration for us at at the superintendent's meeting and actually called in and did like a drill one and it was pretty impressive that how quickly things then just
029all pull together for everybody and of course we know that in any really ugly circumstances usually the incident is over in five to ten minutes and you know and then it's everything after that so to have really immediate contact is a good thing where's the company based out of i'm not sure where their home base is um i know that the the command center is like i think it's in new jersey the demonstration that we saw that's where it is [Music] okay then on the on the money right yeah money a representative that would work just with us they have they have approved for us to continue the same services that we have had okay and that was recommended to that was the information i shared with the the advisory insurance advisory committee and they
030compared with kairos and nobody else was interested in picking that up so so yeah they stepped up okay any other questions yep so we got that resolved uh we need a motion to adopt the resolution i'll make a question i'll make a motion that we adopt the uh resolution to terminate of the termination of the c r c-r-a-e-b-h-t i'll second that motion all in favor aye corey burgess i am ann amen you have a second a second all in favor aye corey burgess i'm amanda ehman aye charlene diaz hi anna boyd i'm melinda sabrowski i'm sorry i um i i do want to compliment because i attended the the meetings i do want to compliment the people there the the the professional staff that you brought in to actually do this thinking was really phenomenal
031they did a nice job thank you and um and bill and bill we need to compliment bill and hope that he stays with us for a while absolutely bill hart is was one of our community reps and he has a long time history and experience with insurance so he's uh he's a very valuable information resource for us and um and a good advisor for us and uh we appreciate him and he's agreed to help us again next year so thank you so much voluntarily yes volunteering to hear your kudos miss sobrowski he couldn't no he couldn't quite hear your kudos okay i just wanted to thank you for being on the committee with me and everybody else that was there it was really um the information you brought was really interesting and informative thank you
032all right item 5.1 offer contracts for administrative positions dr stewart mr president and board members we have had two administrative openings the principal position at bullhead city middle school and the assistant principal position at diamondback we had committee members from both of those sites and three from each of those sites and mrs lott and i served on that committee the recommendations for you are that cynthia cochran be offered the contract for principalship at bullhead city middle school and margaret emlind who is currently a science science and math teacher at the middle school be offered the assistant principalship at diamondback do we have any questions no all right did i move we approve item 5.1 i'll second that motion all in favor aye corey burgess hi amanda amen hi charlene diaz aye anna boyd i'm melinda
033sabrasky so moved item 5.2 renewal of abm contract for the fiscal year 23. dr stewart mr president and board members about a year ago we renegotiated the contract renewed the contract with abm for as i recall for a three year period with a maximum of a two percent increase and that's exactly what they're coming back to us with for this coming year uh so uh the payment would be 109 thousand seven hundred twenty four dollars and sixty six cents a month uh for the next fiscal year do we have any questions have they been doing their job yes they have uh they've been they have been really working well with us you know it took a little time the first year to kind of get things ironed out a little bit but they've been amazing
034okay i think they do a great job i mean especially jumping on those emergencies that we have yes that would not happen if if it weren't for abm or bathroom problem in our bathroom problem our pipe burst all the things that we have like yeah yeah they were on it immediately and took very good care of it any other questions all right then i move we approve the abm contract for the fiscal year 23. i'll second that amanda amen [Music] all in favor aye corey burgess hi amanda amen aye charlene diaz hi anna boyd i'm melinda sabrasa so moved i know item 5.3 middle school trip to washington dc and new york city dr stewart mr president and board members we have a request from some teachers at bullhead city middle school to take middle
035school students fifth and sixth graders to washington d.c and new york city spring break 23. mrs moss is here this evening she has been the one who has proposed this and has been doing the background work and i would say that with your permission if you have questions she's here to answer them actually would you mind coming up and letting everyone know what's going on because we have some public that may not be aware hi kim moss so essentially it's a six day trip to washington dc and new york city and in dc will go to several museums historical sites things that really relate to the fifth grade curriculum and standards all about united states history something that's super applicable to them it kind of you know puts the real life to what they're learning
036and in new york you would be seeing a broadway show be a statue of liberty times square madison square garden all that kind of really fun stuff that is a once in a lifetime opportunity for a lot of these kids i i've never even been so it's super sorry i don't like public speaking um it's super important to me just because it's something that these kids really really need to look forward to something to have ownership and fundraising something just is to be you know looking forward to um i was born in bullhead city and i know what it's like to not see the world and experience things so to me it's it's a big deal and i would really love the opportunity we have lots of great ideas for fundraising community sponsorships a lot
037of staff on board to be helpful have a one to five teacher-to-student ratio i mean i'm really excited to this if for this if you guys would vote for it so how many kids do you think you're taking yeah so a minimum we need 20 for the trip uh maximum 45. the price per student is approximately 2600 but that covers flights hotels uh all meals every attraction um all the museums and things it covers hotel security and for at night they hire like a private security um it covers some liability things for the school in the district i mean it really covers everything aside from if they wanted like some souvenirs is that twenty six hundred dollars for chaperones too um so for every ten students signed up it's a free chaperone um and then
038there is an adult price which i think is just it's a little bit more um but like i said we can really we can do some a lot of fundraising that's our plan we have a lot of great ideas and connections in the community as well um what kind of ideas do you have for fundraising because like my son's going to be in fifth grade and i'll be honest the idea of him going on this is kind of like terrifying but also kind of you can totally i know i know i would probably have to because there is no way i would let him go to new york without me because i'd be like having to walk behind him like a hawk yeah so that's why our one to five ratio was also really helpful
039and then and then the the question would be though it might is is the plans to to fundraise to make it to where this is actually something that is within reach for even your poorest of children that no matter where their socioeconomic status is that they could actually obtain this and it's not just something that the doctors kids will get to go absolutely and like i said i was born in bullets so i was i was the poor kid so i totally get it um i really think it's doable i would not have presented this to dr stewart had i not thought and i had in-depth conversations with my admin team and other teachers um we want to do we have really successful i mean this is going to sound small but it adds up
040so like cookie dough sale at our school our school site is really successful every year um we could do uh gosh car washes we could do um pledge-a-thons like the read-a-thon or penny drives i mean the list really adds up and also with like you guys brought up donors shoes they have match offers all the time for field trips which we could do small projects at a time you know two grand at a time until it adds up i also have already kind of like talked to my homeroom about the idea of this to see what they thought and told them this is going to be you have to put some accountability in this and if you want to raise the money then you have to be at these fundraisers because we're only going to
041divide it between the students that come and do their share you know so it's going to be on them and on us to really make this work and i i hope that you guys see my my ideas and passion behind it but um i have a long list i left my notes in the car i'm very nervous dr stewart is this the kind of thing that we can use the tax tax donation for yeah absolutely middle school already has an educational travel club set up that we did when i was there and i did the dc trip when i was there um you're doing ef right yes um i know you you mentioned one to five but i would say one to six i travel with ef with a high school and they do a
042one to six ratio for us for the trip so rather than doing a one to five because double check on that because all the trips i've done with them has been one in six so if we don't if we set it at one and six we do one in five it kind of creates a problem yeah you're locked into that so if we say one and six because all the trips i've done with the f have been one and six then you get the free trip uh for the chaperone um so yes tax credits can be used i did the dc trip when when i was teaching there and it was amazing uh the kids raised almost all the money going out through because it's already set the club's already there and it's approved it's
043ready to go um this personally i think this is fantastic i was a little nervous taking junior high kids to dc when i went but and i know you're a little nervous it was as long as i'm there with him yeah i was just like i could handle him going as long as like i'm sorry i'm just such a mama bear i can't totally get it we had lots of parents volunteer to go we were one to four was our ratio because so many parents wanted to go um the the fundraising is definitely doable i just came back from dc this last week and i ran into several junior high groups that were there on tour um through different companies uh dc as an if you guys have ever had a chance to go is
044an absolutely incredible city um and when it comes to teaching history and there's no better place because uh the eftory is very fast paced the kids are exhausted at the end um so i know they talk about the hotel security but you really go from sun up to sun down and you get back though yo because you can stay in hotel they got swimming pools none of our kids swam they went to bed they were exhausted but the things the kids will see and do and experience education travel our community kids never get to go other than my children when we took our kids none of those kids had ever even been on an airplane exactly so this was a amazing trip for these students that they never got to see again when i came
045up to high school we went to new york we're going to germany these are some of the same kids that traveled with me in junior high and we took a couple of fifth graders i think we had a couple fifth graders we had sixth grade or seventh and eighth graders that went with us when we went and it was amazing you cannot beat dc when it comes in my opinion that's yeah that is the greatest and you already have one chaperone yes thank you um but yeah if you want help on fundraising okay i will talk to you guys so um any other questions great job on motion to approve the middle school trip to washington dc in new york city at a one to six second at a one to six ratio i don't
046want to six okay i'll second that all in favor aye corey burgess aye amanda ayman aye charlene diaz aye anna boyd i'm melinda sabrasky salmo all right item 5.4 logo adoption dr stewart mr president and board members we've been trying for about oh year and a half two years to work on a new website and you'll see that the next agenda item has to do with approving a new web company but we thought this was also a good time to rebrand the district and to not that it's been an issue to be part of colorado river schools it certainly hasn't but at this point it's kind of a good time for us to establish our own identity as bullhead city school district so i wasn't sure what to do relative to finding a logo but
047there happens to be a company out there called fiverr and and they employ entrepreneur uh logo designers they've got about four thousand and so i looked through a whole lot of them and jen and and lance and i looked through a bunch and i just finally picked one and and sent a couple of ideas i said really the only thing we wanted was or that i thought we would should have is some kind of silhouette of squadron mountain because that mountain is on the other side of the river it's in nevada so you know we thought we needed an arizona mountain and that it says bullhead city school district number 15. so the young man came back with and and we told i sent him a copy of our current logo and whatever and i
048said figure out colors do whatever give us something fresh so kim can you um pull that up you can't pull up the i thought we had it attached the logo just so it is attached it wasn't it's attached it's not attached it wasn't mine well okay then um well all right uh you all saw it yes okay no it didn't show no i don't if you give me a a minute i can go i mean if the right one he thinks it's great then i'll just i i had a question sure the color the red just seemed a little dark to me it's it's really a brown it's more of a brown multi browns and i want that's why i wanted to come to you is if you thought it was a little dark or
049there's i like the second one better well we have both we bought both we bought both yeah and i will tell you this was the first oh okay it was it was 185 to get two designs and to get all of the various ways that we need it you know like the vector and the all of that stuff which was really reasonable um so melinda thinks that the brown is a little dark i thought it looked fine but let me turn my brain do you recognize squadron mountain in it i did did you recognize the mountain it uh it just seemed like it was not it wasn't vibrant it wasn't vibrant okay maybe that was the brown the other one is just the silhouette is it going to cost more to have variations and stuff
050like that because no i'd have to go back to him well i would have to go back to him to change the colors okay well i was just going to say if you have all the vectors and you have it actually then you could just send them to me i know how to photoshop i could add a bunch of colors of that okay i don't think that's probably copyrighted now at this point we own it yeah now if they own it then i could change it at this point we own it i like i actually like that i like that one good to me yeah oh okay and you can't pull that up you have to log in okay yeah she's it's in yeah it's an administrative so there's one with the sorry well it's
051both we have both so i can you know there would be times when we might want the flat one you know on an envelope or you know and there are occasions when we would want the flat one um that's why i asked for two a simpler one and a more complicated one i like them do you like them okay and the other thing we can do is pick a complimentary color for the website so that uh so that the dark of that is not you know we've got something complementary for that or we can go a little lighter it's up to you it's all up to you when it comes to color matching i have no opinion because whatever i pick is wrong are you like james are you like james it should be black
052and white yes you guys tell me what looks good i'm good so so what would you like to do i like the designs but i do not like the colors i don't think it reflects the vibrancy of the district i don't it's sort of it was really flat are we thinking more like bright sunset or yeah just brighten the yellows would be enough so light maybe lighten the brown a little bit to some lighter shade of brown or tans or something sure we can work on that and if anna knows how to do that because it looks it looks like a dusky sunset so maybe it can't be a sunset because the mountain is over here so it has to be a sunrise okay so it looks like a dusty side of that mountain there
053are some real vibrancy i might have lived here a while but i don't really look at the mountains like i'm like what else okay the there's no trees on them not much there aren't trees well there aren't any although kim says we should have put one on the top and had it leaning in the wind right um so so maybe have the i'm thinking she's thinking like more like when she's thinking vibrant make it look more like that bright awakening sunrise versus that like dusk like we're about to have a dust storm sunrise okay that's kind of what it looks like a little bit i agree with that i like the color scheme but it does look like there's about to be a dust storm so if you all are okay with the idea of
054us playing with the color a little bit is the design is the design uh one that you like i like the design i like the design yeah i like the design okay okay so approve it for us with some with some revisions and then we can bring divisions first or do you want to just let them go i move that we approve the designs and let's look at different colors okay i'll second that all in favor aye corey burgess hi amanda ayman aye cherlene diaz hi anna boyd i'm melinda sabrasky so moved item 5.5 uh website redesign project dr stewart well as i said we've been working on this for about a year and a half and had a committee so we had our techie people james and diana were on the committee jen and
055lance and i were on the committee did we have anybody else no that was it and we watched demos and heard sales pitches and whatever i have to say that i'm i was pretty specific about some things i did and didn't want and we ended up settling on school webmasters because we felt that they could do what we wanted done and so you can see the price 97.58 for the first year because that's bringing it on board and doing some design changes for us as we ask for them excuse me and then second year and so on would be 27 48 at this point um really uh very competitive price was not the lowest price but gave us the biggest bang for the buck so i recommend school webmasters well this link with the high
056school district's website one of the things we will do that james can do is we can have a landing page or a splash page sort of like we have right now and and folks can you know pick either us or the high school to go to so convenient to just type in the crsk and right they can pick which they're at right so but it will be and that will be just kind of a splash page and then it will go to directly to our page and folks can go from there so uh yeah we've we've taken that into account we've it's taken a while to train people to go to crsk12 and uh so we don't we don't want to undo that um at the same time we want to have something that's fresh
057and and uh better than what we have right now no we don't want to lose that do we have any other questions all right do we have a motion i'll move that we um approve the website redesign project i'll second that all in favor aye corey burgess aye amanda ayman aye charlene diaz hi anna boyd i'm melinda sabrasky so i moved item 5.6 disposal of capital items current and past dr stewart uh mr president and board members uh one of the things that's been happening since we hired jenny beck to be our business clerk is that she's been learning lots of things about her job we've been providing her with lots of training because it has to do with all our money so we need to know that that i'm not the only one who
058knows some of those things that she knows a bunch of them too so one of the things that we learned that she learned and has taught me is that relative to our capital assets so these are things that are a thousand dollars or more they cost us a thousand dollars or more when we purchase them they might not be worth that at this point but that's what they cost us have to be in the inventory system and that there are very specific legal things for how we can dispose of them in fact that policy dn that i withheld and will bring to you next time left out a couple of things that we should be able to do with some of those assets when we need to dispose of them and i want to make
059sure that we have those included in the policy and we're doing it legally so in the process anything that's over anything over a 500 has one set of things we have to do to dispose of them anything over a thousand dollars has another and anything there's another level and i can't remember exactly what it is but the thing is we have not been bringing the things to the board that we should have been bringing to the board to approve the disposal so you have uh we have a specific list here it was in the stack of things that you all have been looking at for disposal right now and looking back to the two and a half years that i've been here we have disposed of uh some electronic things or technology things we have
060disposed of some other items in this past two years so i just wanted it on the record that you all know that that's the case and that you're not only approving disposal of the list that you just looked at but you're also approving uh in retrospect the things that we have have done in the past two and a half years we have been very careful about following those rules during that two and a half years it's just that we did not know we needed to bring certain lists to the board so in the future we will be bringing lists to you when we dispose of items any questions on the new process and by the way uh the uh many of the electronic things we recycle we have a company that we several companies yeah
061we get bids and and they pay us some money to take those things so so it is legal we're doing it legally it's just that we had not brought those things to you and it's also environmentally appropriate for the way we dispose of those any other questions great then i move that we approve the uh appropriate disposal of the list presented and other items disposed since july 1 2019. i'll second that motion all in favor aye corey burgess hi amanda amen hi charlene diaz hi anna boyd i'm melinda sabrasky so moved 5.7 other insurance for fiscal year 23 dr stewart mr president and board members as explained earlier we had our committee meeting to review insurance for vision dental life accidental death and dismemberment supplemental life and supplemental short-term disability lots of discussion and comparison
062of rates and recommendation from the committee that i wholeheartedly support is that we contract with emeritus for imed vision basic and the employees can buy up for a very reasonable amount to be able to have both glasses and contacts in the same year emeritus also for dental unum life insurance that we pay for employees and you'll notice that i've said there that the the rates differ i can't just list for you all the specific rates and and that kind of thing for life insurance that we pay i will tell you that uh the cost to our district for life insurance for our full-time employees runs just a hair over ten thousand dollars a month and that's for double their salaries and then they can buy up from there up to five times their salaries and
063then the two insurances that we would offer to employees that they would pay for would be the supplemental life and ad and the supplemental short-term disability and i'll go back a second to oonam or unum for the what we pay includes uh accidental death and dismemberment in that in that amount and you can see the range of what we pay one of the things that bill shared with us in that meeting is that most insurance companies don't insure folks over 65 is that what you told me more bill anything else but there are cutbacks for 65 70 some of them seats at 70. it's a good it's a good structure okay and that was part of the good advice he gave us that in that meeting that day so i would recommend these these companies
064for these services for fiscal year 23. [Music] any questions can we get a motion i'll motion to award insurance contracts as presented i'll second that motion anna boyd all in favor aye corey burgess i'm amanda ehman aye charlene diaz hi anna boyd hi melinda sabrasky what's up item 5.8 revised and new positions for 2022-23 dr stewart mr president and board members i'm working on starting to work on the budget and also looking at some of the needs we have in the district i realized today when i was reviewing this that i had not said in the part that the public sees that the revisions have all three of those have to do with transportation i did put that in the comments for it for all of you but i didn't put it for the public
065so these three positions have to do with transportation so i'd like to change the assistant director position for this coming year to a halftime position and uh and then i'd like to change one of the part-time driver positions this is in addition to the five that you already approved that i moved to full-time change one of the part times to a full time only it's not as a driver this would be an additional secretary right now the secretary in transportation works four hours in the morning from 5 am to 9 and then is gone in the middle of the day and works four hours at the end of the day because we need a dispatcher and a route person at the beginning and the end of the day that means then that there is no
066office coverage in the middle and frequently the director and the assistant director are out doing things training or driving buses or whatever this would allow us to have two so one could start early the other one start late and we would have full office coverage for the day and then i would recommend that we drop four of the driver positions that would more than cover these other changes and right now we're having trouble getting drivers anyway and we've had to combine routes and we have found that we can combine some routes that we had some routes that had fewer than 20 students riding that's not very efficient especially given the gas prices and the diesel prices right now and so the fact that we can do it means we should do it so that's the
067basis for that recommend that set of recommendations um the other are some new positions one uh one full-time teacher position one additional position teacher position in the life academy and two paras to work in that with that teacher so we would have two teachers and four pairs in that program we have we have continuing need for for that program for some of our students with very special needs that include that also include behaviors but as you know we've had a number of students who have who have been to hearing this year and have been long-term suspended or brought to you for expulsion and in the past we might have recommended them for this program but frequently they were just out of school and we feel very strongly that we need to offer some kind of
068program for our students especially the ones on long-term suspension that it doesn't just put them on the street or doesn't just send them home and let them be home alone that we help them change some behaviors that we help give them strategies for being successful in the general school population and and to do that right now we have a waiting list for those positions at at life academy so this would give us spots that we can help those kids and the idea is not to have them there forever frequently mr nuzul establishes in in his rulings on their hearings or at their hearings a certain length of long-term suspension but sometimes he also says but if you know if you go to the academy if we can put you in the academy we can adjust
069that time based on what happens while you're there so this gives us a really good option for restorative practices with our students and helping them be successful when they come back into our schools so that's the reason for those two recommendations we have we have large numbers of students in our resource programs and we need another teacher at the middle school for next year and another teacher at diamondback so that they are so that those teachers are not dealing with 70 students or 80 students a day we're not doing we're not doing the good job for those kids when we have that that kind of teacher-student ratio so i'm requesting those two additional positions they would be paid out of at this point paid out of mno but the special ed part of mno and
070if we have grant funding idea or otherwise we we would consider moving them over into the grant funding the final two positions we have a large number of el students at desert valley and we created an el position that's paid out of esser right now for those students and that teacher is busy all day has classes all day diamondback and sunrise have about half of those students at each of those sites so it didn't justify a full teacher but we're also recognizing this year that when those students because they're entitled to 75 minutes of extra language instruction per day and and we can only group them in certain ways so what's happening is we have a number of teachers who who need to spend that 75 minutes a day with one or two students and
071have other things going on for their classes that's not a real efficient plan either for the students either for the el students or for the other students and so we we do have funding we do have esser funding for these two positions and in these in this case they would primarily be teaching el they would also be doing the el testing the azella testing and then they would also be scheduled to be another teacher to pull small groups for interventions so that just means we can have more small groups more interventions for our kids so that's the background on these positions i'll answer any questions you might have are we still going to be looking for drivers because i mean yes okay as long as we're on time i mean because that's my my biggest
072worry and stress because with everything we've had with combining i know we're combining to save and not have 20 kids on the road um in one bus and be a little more fiscally responsible with our gas mileage and things but i just worry with they come in and they leave or they get sick or you know something happens family whatnot they leave the area or the you know so i just want to make sure that we're not gonna already combine too much to where if something were to happen and we need to combine something later a little happy medium to help for when we have a problem right yes and and i'm i didn't just do this on my own will and i had a long conversation this week about this um uh last week
073actually about this to talk about okay where where can we shrink a little and not go too far you know i don't want to dig too far because that's not helpful either uh so uh this was kind of a compromise that we came to that you know it still leaves us some folks and it still leaves us to be able to hire some substitutes and have them available that they're not necessarily assigned to a route and we haven't been able to do that at all this year um and the last half of last year we had no substitutes so it was everybody was driving every day and if somebody was not here you know i mean you all know that there are times when a high school driver is driving for us that's why we
074have this joint uh joint cert circumstance and we have times when an elementary driver is driving on the high school side so that's a really nice convenience but if all of them are already scheduled there's no wiggle room so there have been many days that will has driven himself and um and driven multiple routes so uh yeah we want a little we want a little cushion okay so yeah but by dropping these four part time are we are we shooting ourselves in the foot no that was our compromise we were not we're not cutting too deep we're still leaving room for uh some of those part-time people to be subject to part-time positions were unfilled right now but we have more than those four that are under yes so we still have unfilled that we're
075looking to fill yes so we're still we're we're just not getting rid of we're not cutting anybody not just cutting an open position some open positions and there are still open positions that i'm not cutting okay not cutting all right so we're still looking for people where we have to yeah no i don't want to do that oh then i then i'll be back to you but the thing is we've got you know we'll make sure we have the money to do it too yeah yes i agree with that yeah i'm not trying i'm not trying to undercut them at all i'm trying to figure out a way and and in fact i got some advice from the person at the trust uh who in fact trains direct you know trains our trainers and and
076um you know i i emailed him and i said okay this is the size of our district tell me what other districts are doing that are our size well the interesting thing is that they have a full-time director a full-time assistant director a full-time router and a full-time dispatcher hmm don't quite see how that and wilden either we didn't quite see how those were full-time positions so that's that's part of what we want to roll into those two secretarial positions that takes some of the load off of will takes some of the load off the assistant director and uh and provides some real consistency there for both districts so uh so it wasn't it's not just a matter of cutting or rearranging it's also a matter of rearranging some responsibilities and some tasks to make
077it more efficient and so people like will don't have to work 14-hour days because he and patricia have been working many many 12 and 14 hour days so it's a good thing they're salaried it's not a good thing for them but you know i mean but in terms of money it would have been you know so uh we don't we don't want we want to relieve some of that and we want will not to have to be in a position to have to drive frequently we know it will happen occasionally but not frequently and the uh el that's a s or funds yes so that when the fund is gone will probably be gone yeah yeah we'll probably be gone so we're talking about uh next year and probably the following year all right any
078other questions so this works out in the budget though that with those revised those drops and changes equal all those additions it does it it comes out even the only difference is a difference that i had already calculated when i talked to you about the other five positions going from part-time to full-time and that would just be the insurance and the rea the insurance benefits which is about sixty thousand dollars for next year but that is the payoff of that is the relief for each of our sites in terms of the number of times that people have to do a lunch duty and and some of those things so you know i'm good with that part of it because our teachers all right they're already subbing classes there yes you know on their time their
079duty time that they're not receiving compensation because we've gone through this before so right to give them a duty-free lunch by having a driver i mean i think that's a great idea to fill that role and i couldn't begin to have i couldn't begin to get that kind of coverage at five sites for sixty thousand dollars a year i couldn't begin to do that so uh so it's cost effective as well and the other benefit is we're much more likely to keep drivers if they're full-time yeah than if they're part-time so a whole lot of pieces play together into this to make it work and and to benefit everybody you know and this benefits kids i see really i remember when we were doing this before where we had drivers in in our cafeterias building
080relationships with students during the regular day was helpful you know when they were driving bus and so we would make sure that whichever driver was assigned to each site was also a driver for one of the routes at that site because there any of those good relationship things carry over all right any additional questions then i move we approve of item 5.8 i'll second that motion on a boy all in favor aye corey burgess hi amanda amen i'm charlene diaz hi anna boyd i'm melinda sabrowski so moved item 5.9 memorandum of understanding with the mohave county sheriff's office dr stewart mr president and board members this is the memorandum from the county if we would like to proceed with the safety program and as i said i'm not sure that we would be one of
081the districts selected but i'd like us to get our word and you know get our bid in if if you also so approve this has this memorandum has been vetted by uh by the attorneys okay i have a couple questions okay all right i'll try to answer okay um all right because based off of what i've seen in regards to the integration with the cell phones and stuff the only issue that i would i would have possibly is in regards to i know that they have the privacy of students and staff as protected blah blah when you guys get it are you going to be requiring your teachers to have it um is it going to be like like an optional like teachers can opt into it versus like required to have it because some
082people have issues in regards to their own privacy and then like there's tracking on the phone and some people really don't like to be tracked even though you have a cell phone you're probably being tracked right but it's you know that lovely comfortable place of i'm not adding more tracking onto my phone um especially you know from government agencies and stuff like that not to go on the conspiracy theory train but some people are concerned about those things and so i do want to bring that to the forefront of like just to make sure that this isn't like okay if you have a cell phone we're gonna require this of you or um if it's like an optional to where there are cell phones that you that we could have for the teachers who don't
083want it so that while they're in the class they could have that did you get where i'm coming from well i understand what you're saying download it on your computer could it be also attached to your email yeah so something where it's like like maybe if they're not taking it out no no no i don't think it's a bad program i'm looking at it from the perspective of someone who might not feel comfortable or maybe they themselves that like like or also um if this is something you want every teacher to have what if the teacher is old school and has a flip phone right you know what i mean or maybe they they don't they're the only thing like my dad maybe the only thing they know how to do is call on the
084phone you know and like like you know like he still doesn't know how to text even though the problem we went into by making it optional is what if everybody opts out and then we have a program that we're paying for that we're not using okay so the thing is is if it's not optional then you have to provide a means to those who don't want it on their personal things because can we actually force someone to put something on a personal device well i think it's a great question and it's one that i hadn't thought of so i certainly can find out the answer i guess my i guess my first thought would be to recommend to you that that we not require people to do it having not given a whole lot of
085thought to that but i mean the purpose is that we'd be able to do it on the other hand you have a legitimate a legitimate concern um especially about somebody who might not have a smartphone but um we can check on that i know we don't think about that we think it's like everyone says we'll have students do it on your smartphone even for students and then i have like three or four kids that don't even have smartphones or maybe they got it taken away i mean not like that would say to adults like it got taken away but i mean maybe they dropped it that day and it's broken and it's not working and now they don't have that device so sure would there be a possibility of obtaining devices that could have that
086app on there you know i mean because if it's an app that works over wi-fi you don't even need a that's another question too if it's an app that works over wi-fi you don't need a cell phone with cellular connection you could literally have people donate their old cell phones factory reset them hook them up to the school's wi-fi and have the app on them do you see what i'm saying i do okay like you know how some some apps require like most like most apps you can work over wi-fi right so so now now i do know like like for some cell phones or most cell phones now like they can actually call police whether they have they're on a network or not right that's a that's a thing so the question of is
087is will this do that it would probably work over wi-fi my concern would be with older devices is by the time my family's done with the cell phone it's no yeah no there's there's lots of that stuff but my point being is you have to think of a method or a way to accommodate teachers who either don't have uh newer cell phones you know or someone who's still using the flip phone that they got at graduation 20 years ago or whatever you know uh you know there's those kinds of things so that's that's what i'm saying if you're requiring it then there has to be a way to require it without forcing someone to put it on their personal device not only because if they don't have a personal device maybe they they didn't get
088a cell phone that holds a lot of memory and they don't want to get rid of farm heroes saga you know and you know there's a lot of things that could go that could go wrong because i mean i've had a couple cell phones towards the end of their line that just just going on like social media was like the death call and it would just shut off on me and that was my indication that i was time to get a new one but it took me a few months because i had to wait till you know the deals come out do you see what i'm saying i think those are i think those are really good questions that we can that we can find out yeah i don't think i don't know let's look
089into it and get some answers that would be great okay uh 5.1 5.10 uh staff appreciation are you not taking action that's what i thought we were doing i'm i just want to be clear what you want me to so if do is the deal breaker there there are other options you just put you just pulled it up okay so yeah so if there's a way for us to obtain for the teachers who don't or even at least having a handful in the office so so-and-so calls in and says oh my cell phone crashed or i ran it over today or something like that that you have the option we had that happened to one of my one of my students they ran over their phone um so i'm just you know i'm just safe
090that way there's one and and then you can say hey we re let that it's a requirement because we give you the option of something else all right so let's get the details on all that on what that's going to be and then we'll go from there okay right thank you 510 staff appreciation dr stewart oh mr president this is on you all right uh we are quickly approaching the end of the school year uh we did a staff appreciation last year i would like to do another staff appreciation again this year after checking with a new after dr stewart checked with the regulations and rules we found that we are able to actually take money out of mno and feed our staff that's new to be fair that was that was passed by the
091legislature last year so so that's a brand new thing um so there is also a restriction of how much we can spend on gift um so we can do up to a fifty dollar value well that's a that's approximately right it has to be uh nominal that's the word that's used so any gift to an employee has to be nominal so i asked the attorney what is nominal and he said probably fifty dollars is the edge of nominal so per person or per person because i was like no that the district would pay for that the district or the district district so i'd like to have our district take an mno because we talked about this last time because we didn't use any of it last year that is correct no we didn't um so
092we did liquidate some stuff didn't raise a lot of money for that but we did liquidate some stuff through our disposal prop product um but with us able to actually spend the money on the food we could do that and offer a meal we talked last time about maybe food trucks um getting that set up there are a couple that we could probably have the district reach out to and see who's available and get that arranged so we could have a few different options not just one that would be kind of nice and then personally when we we talk about gifts for staff i like the idea of having different values not everything being a 50 value and drawings and not everybody gets one you know but if we can if we can spread that
093wealth out and what was the number we found earlier how many what is it about 310 about 310 so if we said around 200 gifts ranging between five and fifty we could uh yeah you're talking we could do some math teachers what are we looking at well we really wanna see here why i crunch the numbers yeah so um but that's it's really not that big of an expense um for especially as one more time we get to step up and appreciate our staff for all they do um and and i know that we we've really done a lot in the last little bit with all the being with the ability with through esser with the you know we've got another check coming out for him um once again another 2500 right first for certified
094now the 2500 the 2500 is the contract signing incentive so they're getting the 2500 the people who signed with us and are here till the end this year and then janice crunch numbers in the in one of the grants and we'll have something for our classified people that we had not anticipated uh and then we have the 2500 signing incentive again for next year so the folks the folks who whose papers you've signed tonight if they stay with us all next year we'll get another 2 500. so um so we've had those things for masters so we've had some some nice incentives and and i really wish we could do a lot more but we are kind of tied with what we can but by them allowing us to do a meal we could put
095on you know we could get a few trucks in here and do a teacher appreciation uh no snow cone guy hey yeah we can we can kind of get this thing this thing going uh thoughts ideas yes no where are we where are we at i do like the idea of the food truck they write really different and kind of fun yeah where oh that's where we're gonna so uh we got you're talking 300 staff may 6th is that the date does it always does it all have to be on the same day could you have like a food truck it you know one day a week for any school i mean it doesn't all have to be on the same day if people are anticipating hey the food truck comes tomorrow maybe that's maybe
096that's good it's whatever you want the sixth is just historically the you know the staff appreciation day that's all and and it's on the you know on people's calendars but whatever you all want to do is what we'll do we may hit the sixth with just a big cake for everybody and then put a food truck in you know the days before and the days after okay so have so what you're suggesting and i like the idea is have a food truck hit different schools yeah on different days and then um we could do a staff day on the 6th where we could have dessert yeah just have a cake cake right into each of the stores where are we going to reach out to the high school and see if maybe the field house
097is available i don't know where they're sitting on may 6 though that's uh there's seven on seven in the that's a friday the sixth is is it friday so they have seven on seven footballs yeah on the not in the conference rooms yeah i just and it looks like they might have they might have something scheduled from 11 to 2 in there so so let's check on that possibility okay we don't know because you're on the sixth itself correct could we could we possibly have like a i don't know maybe like a survey if they want like them on like to go to the school versus a thing because some of them might be all like yeah well i never get to eat my lunch so it wouldn't be helpful do you see what i'm
098saying yeah let's reach out to you yeah okay so checking with the staff to see if they'd rather have the food truck come to their site on a specific day or whether they'd like to have everybody a big a big thing on the sixth okay i can do that just a thought if you if you do if they decide they want to just do it one day why couldn't we utilize like one of the big ramadas or the park over at um it's getting hot though which one i'm thinking of over here rotary is it rotary rotary park and just have it you know it may it'll be nice so they can be outside mr president just a reminder to use the ramadas addie the community park criminal or rotary park we would have to
099reserve that through davey's department sometimes those are just months in advance there's also another nice park although an extra five minutes away that's pyramid canyon on the other side of the river but it's the same thing you would need to just read any one of them you just need to make sure that they're reserved because it could already be booked and as far as food trucks um i was on the planning committee for the stem and steam event a couple weeks ago at the airport and debbie hendren who's now with parks and recreation came up with the master list of every food truck that served this area that's properly licensed and can do it so if you decide to go that route you can get that information and whether we do it whether we have
100debbie parks and rec as a point person check and see who's interested or who's available and within what budgetary guardians all right um i like it let's see what's available okay and then in terms of the gift things what direction would you give me because we always do our 200 gifts yeah and we always do our awards for teachers for longevity returning teachers all that stuff um and and we can hand out raffle tickets randomly go through as we're doing that and we i i don't think we need to have one for every staff member kind of has a little bit of the excitement too you don't know if you're getting a five dollar uh stone cold card or you might be getting a 50 chili's card who knows you know and maybe for farm
101what was that farm bureau i don't know how many people are going to be for our farm heroes saga card but you never know so yeah but it could be there so um how do you guys feel about that what if they decide that they want the food truck at each individual site what are you gonna do with the raffle tickets well we would still have the one day where we get together for uh but we wouldn't be feeding him with that one that would just be like a cake and an appreciation yeah um so either do it all in one day or split out the food truck right can people donate like gifts and stuff like that so we could probably try to see if anybody in the community would like to give things
102that we can raffle off as well not raffle off what would give yeah okay yes because that doesn't follow under the 15-hour guidelines okay okay sorry sorry um i mean my thought i was thinking like if you wanted if they like the idea of doing it at their location and they would like the food truck to come to them and you know maybe we could rotate schools or you know get two of us because you don't wanna do three and get a quorum and have an issue but could go in the afternoon with the desserts and take a fraction of the raffles with us and do it right there for them and then that way we get to go to the schools on top of it like i mean i've popped into a couple schools
103this year but like it was just because i you know i'm with my friends and i'm picking up kids or i'm going in checking out a program a veteran's day you know doing those things but you know we all well you're retired but you know we work during the day but i i would be happy to at the end of a school day hop in and drive down to bullhead middle or fox creek or you know anywhere and be able to be a part of it on their campus i mean maybe that would make a difference maybe be a little they don't have to travel they don't have to park they don't have to walk they don't there's no setup or anything we just come in and push so that means that you would have
104to divide the gifts between the schools yes yep yeah we could just if there's you know 55 gifts then we just divide it amongst the schools evenly as we can so there's enough gifts that go to the each location the same number maybe they're not everybody's not getting three fifty dollar value gifts there there might be one who gets three and one gets two but maybe they get five twenty five dollar gift cards when somebody else gets you know three or four so we can make it work to make sure it's fair and equitable but come to them not to spend a whole lot of time trying to figure out to make sure that yeah because i'm not gonna lie i mean we're all working education last thing i want to do on a pd
105friday is drive my butt to a big facility park way off yonder drive on in sit down eat wait eat you know the time it's going to take to go through all of those i do kind of i agree with that yeah i mean doing it but let them decide if they'd like to have it in sight and we can do it site by site boom we're done yeah i think it would be nice to go to them instead of making them always come to us so you might could even do that on that friday uh-huh so it still could be by sight on that friday if you wanted we could oh because and then you don't have to then it doesn't have to be the end of the day and then the food truck
106isn't there at lunch time when teachers don't have lunch yeah yeah but you're out you're going to look for an excuse definitely do it on that day it's like honors but i mean you know two of us went here two went there somebody else picks up and that way we don't have to do a notice of a quorum or anything and but it'd be exciting for all of us to get in in there unless you want to do a quorum and we post it all and then we all go to all i think we should post it no matter what just in case there's crossing we always do but yeah i like the idea of splitting it up uh we could get to the sites um and even if it's one at a site and
107dude i mean that that is you know and then it's faster mm-hmm it's like we need a so they're getting something and not yeah sorry to say that uh [Laughter] could we then suspend the survey thing because the truth is that a lot of teachers would not be able to get to the food truck during their lunch time on a school day yeah so if you just did the at the sites on that friday so that's going to split up yeah yeah and take the things then you'd have to split up the food trucks blow up the food truck the only the only thing is if you do get gifts that you can't divide equitably then you would have to come up with a way to raffle it off to everything not wrong have everybody
108in the basket we can we can make the whatever the gift card things we can make that equitable yes we can we can make that equal yeah so that'll be we can go out and get donations um but i think if that's going to be the case we need to take that on and not ask for going out to donations so that's i like that idea but for all sites yeah so if you guys are up for that i'm up for it um we do ask a lot of the community a lot so that would be my one reason you know it'd be really i would think that would be really nice too that we just you know we're always hitting them up they i mean we get donations left and right it'd be kind
109of nice if we since we didn't spend anything last year on the budget which we put aside last year to spend and we spent nothing on i mean we went and got all those donations and abm was great cooked for all that food for us sam's club donated i mean we had lots of things that came in that we're able to do it this year so i think this year might be the year that we just go ahead and take care of it and if if we get some extra donations wonderful um but you know yeah you don't have to like go out there and like try to push for it you just can go hint there's your inhib yeah all right um so let's go with that direction sound good that's the direction all
110right okay all right have my marching orders awesome okay 6.1 future topics do we have any future topics we'd like to see on future agendas if anything does come up please let me know and forward it on to myself and kim and we'll get you accommodated upcoming board events you can see the list of all the community stuff that's going on yep don't forget we have little women tonight and tomorrow night at mojave high school tonight's kind of a little late but still i'm just saying you can sneak in [Laughter] yeah all right so uh we we see that the things that are going on we need to set a date time and location for a future meeting right now we have it down at may 12 2022 however we there might be a possibility
111that we need to hold a additional special meeting uh we won't know yet we we have a few more days next week but we might have to hold a an additional meeting um for a uh discipline hearing um so if you guys are available in the next you know a little bit now we understand that not knowing when or what may happen things may come up so we will try to accommodate as best as possible but if it does get to that point or i think we can find a quorum at least to handle that so once we have more information on that then we'll pass that on but that is something we will have to do in between yeah if we do run into that situation well for the foreseeable future i'm good any
112monday through thursday like i said i don't do anything can we go up to back up to future topics for a minute absolutely yesterday lance put together a program for the women's council leadership program and it was it was phenomenal it was the basically it was four superintendents from the area and it was truly an eye-opener as far as what gets done and the monies that go into it and there were people still talking about it when i arrived to get my cooler and they were standing out in the parking lot thinking about it so i'm thinking that if the if the town hall goes well that maybe we should sponsor a superintendent's panel sort of like what lance did and where we just have the community come in and listen to the superintendents from
113different districts talk about and answer questions about the general running of a district it was truly eye-opening and the the four people who were there um it was cole young from mohave valley mr young mr warren dr stewart and dr mcneil and then we there was supposed to be the tribal too right they backed out that was going to be uh not for the superintendent but for the other workshops oh okay but anyway it was it was really kind of interesting and if we're going to be educating the public as to what we do this would be an excellent place to start that's a great idea because i don't think a lot of people even see the tip of the iceberg of what goes on when it comes to a superintendent's position it is so
114it is and the difference between districts is just a phenomenal thing you know um and these people come from all different things mile markers and then they come from family care i mean they're all over and they're trying to become leaders and they were just in awe i love it so let's see how we do with our town hall and then we can address that and uh if we do that because we have the person right here who can organize it because he did a dang good job organizing the last one and mrs brown i asked him to do a curriculum presentation so that the future leaders could understand not only what curriculum is but separate the fact that's out there awesome there was a lot of that was a crt stuff that came up
115and then all of a sudden it went away because it got explained that that's just not happening and you know if there was a whole bunch of good things that came out of that yesterday right so i just went yeah let's see how our town hall goes and we'll set a time for that one question real quick if we back to 510 5.10 um transportation because they're totally separate they're not a campus i just thought they should all come yeah how would we fit actually they actually we could we could do coyote and we don't want to forget yeah yeah yeah this could all be coyote okay oh you don't well i said district all based on transportation [Laughter] and that's even better for a friday because we couldn't i mean there wouldn't be a
116real easy way to do transportation on a weekday so okay yeah thank you for thinking of that all right um future time everybody is aware like i was saying with that one hearing we might have to we might have to hold a special meeting for but we'll reach out to you once we have more information on that um but otherwise it's may 12th other than that yes is may 12th work for everyone okay you noticed that charlene and i did not get out our our smartphones to put it back no no no no she did well i didn't her calendar isn't still on paper no i'm not putting it in there i was just making sure i didn't have anything else oh the rare occasion that i do plan something on a weekday i need
117another question mcc's graduation is that may that friday the 13th also and my son graduates yeah but i just want to make sure that our meeting wasn't going to conflict with that yeah yeah because yeah i think we're all have some part we should be good okay 12 should be okay good and then we'll uh we'll we'll we'll have more policies obviously for the workshop and i'm sure we'll have some other things because igas are coming up and some of those things so we'll have we'll have uh topics for a workshop all right half an hour workshop with that let's just close the meeting because we don't even need a motion meeting is adjourned all right thank you thank you all you
