001where the money sits contingency funds so this is just more showings so it's just showing more of where we've taken our contingency funds and moved that within the budget budget um I would be more than happy if anybody has any questions to on anything specific or generic it looks like the difference was right at it decreased by one percent so we did have a the only decrease on there is in in capital um they didn't like the number that I put out there so they actually decreased our capital budget but we've been operating off of that assumption since November pretty pretty small I guess good motion I wanted to approve the budget revision number one a second any more comments Mrs lefeber yes Mrs Amadeus yes Mr mcgibbon so Mrs Ellen yes and the next

002item is just a discussion item on some upcoming vids so just we kind of wanted to give the board an update of what we're looking at as far as some of our Capital needs for the upcoming school year we are getting getting bids for coffee machines throughout the district we're going to re replace every single one that way everything has the same time frame on it it's all locked up the exact same length of time as far as service contracts go and it alleviates any confusion of us as well as this 100 service contract is is you know so it's just going to combine down our our not so much our cost but but just making it easier to understand where we're at in the lifespan of each one of these God admissions so we've

003got that coming up um also we are I'm in the process of putting together the RFP for um for audit services this last audit was the last of our five-year contract so we have to go out for that again and with this there is a specific RFP that has to go out as well as a specific contract that has to be given and that's all provided by the auditor General's office which I made a copy of in your packet there as well as well so we've got those two bids that are coming up um what's rft request for proposals okay on the copiers we buy those releases we will just be purchase of it [Music] thank you is that what we've done in the past we've always purchased them so some of the machines that

004we currently have released some were purchased again it goes back to that you know which one am I am I making at least payment on so it just makes it just clean and easy and simple you know yes the pros and cons of each cost I have actually we actually on Wednesday was it Wednesday because you were trying to get a color copy machine so we had three different vendors actually come out looked at every machine that we had and we were able to tell them that okay for this area here they need to be able to have this function this functionality this functionality so they're all in the process of putting together proposals and then we'll put together a bid committee and take a look at those and nice we'll make a decision based

005off of those bids contracts yes and I've even talked them into giving them trade and values from the current machines that way I don't have to take an option great good idea because you get pennies yes somebody's gonna pay 10 bucks for nine copy machines to take them to Mexico so far um we did uh Mr Ferguson and I um we were talking so one of the the bidders um Konica Minolta as a subsidiary um within Hanukkah that does security cameras so we are talking to them about upgrading and getting our cameras all under one umbrella versus having a couple of different systems so we are talking with them and they've got some pretty cool stuff that come with you cool stuff comes with cool prices too right yeah um one of the cameras that

006he was showing us it's a two thousand dollar security camera but it's got night vision on it so you can see when people are walking up to the buildings at night um there's attack you know add-ons that you can have face directed Mission facial recognition keep weapons versus yeah so of course there's a whole bunch of stuff that can be added on and integrating it with our door locks so that you know if a staff member were to walk up to the door it would see their face and we wouldn't have to buzz them in it would just automatically open or if it was somebody on a blacklist that we have you know a custodial issue or or somebody that's coming up on some sort of a list it wouldn't unlock the doors even if

007you try it of blood add-ons and when you say add-ons correct so that is something that we just started looking we actually had the video call today they're coming out sometime to actually take a look at the campus and who gives a better idea of what it is they can do for us and that is that will take us to unfinished business yes so as we mentioned at our last meeting in terms of having to make a few changes to the 311 plan activity more General induction specific in terms of naming actual community members because our goal is to put our plan on our website so we met with the committee again and made a few changes and I'm really happy with this plan because it really is going to help us work smarter not

008harder and be able to count some of the 301 meetings in terms of our Wednesdays trainings and collaborations and data days that teachers are doing throughout the year so you have a chance to review the Committees that will will still continue to operate because we do feel that these committees are important and things that we do in our school that we would like to continue foreign this says there's a 20 increase to face pain it's not highlighted so I'm assuming it's that's nice but that's a continuation of what's already on the plan I didn't remember that but let's see okay [Music] something so I do have a question are there any teachers that choose not to participate yes yes okay so do they not so the 20 is mandated by Statute so whatever each district

009chooses to attach to the face every teacher gets that it's it's whatever is left from that so if we were to do five percent to the base and 95 in um the performance but they would still be entitled to that five percent okay all right Mrs McIver yes you missed somebody yes yes Mr mciven Mrs Alan yes Mr ostrich yes and with that I don't know the uh [Music] the exciting first reading of asba policy 744-747 so there are this is a first read for you to review and we will present in June for approval but as I'm looking at them they are primarily discussing the fact that uh curriculum committees have to follow the same role as the open meeting law so apparently we make every time we have a committee a committee adoption

010curriculum adoption committee we will have to post those meetings and my guess is that they don't want people discussing curriculum and isolation that everybody in the community hears the same information at the same time in order to make a informed decision when we are discussing curriculum which a lot of times when we have that process we have our committee go back and report to the grade levels and so I will definitely have to be doing some homework in that area in terms of making sure that we're following with I said and the adoption of new curriculum didn't take long enough right we're looking at another Secrets yes so that's um from what I've read so far but like I mentioned I'll have to look into them a little bit further um the other ones the

011other policy 747 in terms of medication being administered they're changing the language from physician to healthcare practitioner because so many can titioners and they legally had not been allowed to provide the needed documentation to administer meds for School nurses and there's also a lot of language in here on allowing teachers to administer medications and inhalers as needed so please review them and then we'll discuss them further in June so since these are from the asba and they're not statute they're kind of suggestions yes that we adopt them then it becomes policy yes for the sake of argument let's just say that we don't agree with the curriculum I'm just saying it up we have the curriculum available to the public for like nine months I'm not speaking just to that one yeah just in general

012to any of these policies would put on the policy bridge that we did not approve it hence it does not become policy okay I'm all for transparency and our curriculum has always been available for as long as I can remember I just think the less red tape and more power we give to the teachers and the reality that when we post to the public we may have you know our parent advisory parents code review it because we've asked them to come in please look at it and we can agree with them but other than that you know in the past we may have one or two parents who come and I mean we're even trying to get our teachers who are not on the committee to come and look at the you you are very

013encouraging of the parents in public whenever we have to have a doubt I just wanted to throw this out there the whole reason why Davis it's because something happened in another District where they're going to lose a loss so I I just wanted to kind of like throw that out there's you know there's a reason why asba says you sell even though we look at it this is just redundant or you know we already do this you know there is a reason for having it okay so this is not an action item any other comments done well we um get a copy of this what was it that's why I was asking okay so they can go through as attachments it's under public content important 100 percent or probably have to log into the war

014dogs to see it because it's showing up here on the screen okay okay so we'll send it to you we'll email it to you okay Wharton School events for the rest of those calendar school year so I will have um calendar of Lights to the promotion okay perfect I'll be at the eighth grade one and they're posted here for possible quorums no just make sure when you are present that you let us know you're there so we can make sure to do the proper introductions we don't want you to get lost in the crowd and I forgot to put May 16 Stephen fosterone printing oh we have nayali and Mr Alston in their birthday twins um let's sing Happy Birthday ready one two three happy birthday to you happy birthday to you um all of

015our special moms in the audience appreciate you in that um the further discussion about anything you might like to see in the future uh gender or just general comments about Arizona yeah I just one teacher did come to me and ask me about um possibly getting a dance team starting here knowing that Olivia's in dance but other than that um on the trail has a dance team and they go do their showcases with all the other schools in town and we were asked why we didn't have a dance team so just throw that out there Memphis Justice uh sounds like you volunteering this is it never came came to to the daughter that would also be willing to help so so just throwing that out there uniform stays the girls said would be really easy

016black leggings and cult T-shirts because that's what I hit pop dance team would wear anyhow so that would be fun and the high school has a dance team so that would be good so that that was why some of the past cult students had come and said that when they wanted to be on the dance team at Walden Grove they had zero or no experience prior to getting there so yeah well it's not quite as competitive as it used to be but it was very difficult to get into so I don't think the Colts at a high acceptance rate so that I mean that was something in with Olivia's experience of dancing get this going Olivia teaches already so she's like I can do it awesome okay all right school year went by fast I'm
