001okay make these points [Music] we'll have a call order at 3 30. start off with our pledge of allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands one nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all real callers um mcgibbon yes mr oliver here mr astrid i'm here did he call the public double check okay superintendent information so new business these are uh to add an additional uh programming and then assistant in the rationale it just states that we have um new students k5 meeting ieps so we are in need of one additional programmatic assistant to help with the incoming gender schedule programmatic assistant for this coming school year i'll second no we have a few people that we've interviewed that could potentially that we could call
002back so once we get the approval that we'll call people back for interviews okay and just real quick we do have a plan because we know that whoever we interview won't be board approved until our august board meeting maybe later but we do have a plan for right now to do some internal coverage all right so can we say sally yes mr mcgivern yes mr older yes mr astrology yes and we've got one two three four five six seven faith positions on the consent agenda which is basically plugging in names to the position any discussion i have a question could you describe what the definition of hard to fill position yes so these are the positions that we had identified as technically hard to fill for lack of coverage we typically missed special ed staff
003and math positions are hard to fill and now with our method of counselors and i mean we could technically say they're all hard to fill but they're just positions that we know does that translate into anything else like you can take a shortcut to the hiring or different really just monitoring yeah just monetary critical to try to attract oh right employees prior to i think it was a couple of years ago we changed it because it used to be 3 000 for initial heart to fill positions but then they leave so we still have that 3 000 mark but we give them a thousand each year for three years to retain them that's part of our retention efforts in these hard support conditions so what we do is we give them the 3 000 up
004front but then they have to do it x amount of contract that they have to pay it back if they leave each year for three years all right and that looks like we've come to the age signature so that's the contrary and i would just like to update the board that we have today we did secure someone that is willing to help us on a vendor status with a psychology position in terms of evaluations and what's needed so we're in the process of working that out so we're excited about that we also still do not have a middle school music teacher no applicants we have it we had one in korea today for the pe certified position so we're getting back to that person they just asked if it was still available as far as
005middle school music i sent an email to staff today that we're trying to be creative and that we might have to emergency certify someone or we have a sub orientation so we're going to ask the students if anybody's willing to do a long-term study position for music we um or possibly make it a fine arts or arts integration type of middle school because there's four classes that that we need for middle school music so if you know anybody or we've put it out there everybody's trying to make their contacts but we still have nobody willing to take the position okay so as far as staffing it really is that middle school venture position that we have left again discussion on that it's really a shame look at the climate survey happiness with the music program
006was pretty strong and to not be able to continue that at least under mr ferguson's guidance so it's going to hurt him right and he's still going to be doing um the battle hour he's going to do zero over jazz band and he's still going to be doing sixth period so the other classes he taught were more music theory and the history of music and music in the art so we're just trying to figure out whether we make it fine art and tap in a little bit of all fine arts areas and not just music theory if that would might entice you so that's easier to sell or something for that yes but and our elementary music with miss beletti is still going to continue and we're excited because she's going to be looking at
007doing performances this year doing plays musicals with the kids by grade level so we're super excited excited about that right so we don't it's just a matter of what can we offer middle school students to entice them because it is their elective rotation so they have pe and then they have some art with mr voice and then we have mr ferguson doing those music theory classes okay so just if you hear anybody you send them our way okay with that we are here thank you for coming thank you thank you very much
