001thank you this is alan here mrs christ here mr austin mr ellery here and mr mcgivern here thank you entertainment to approve the agenda please second we have a motion a second and discussion okay mrs allen yes mrs kais yes mr alderweire and mr mcgivern yes this you call the public is there anyone on the line okay okay our order of business is first semester payment 301 funds background on this um if you don't mind i'd like to pass it off to mrs alonso um the 301 committee has compiled a list of teachers who qualify for the first semester payment of 301 which is being presented to you all the parts are being presented in our we are requesting your approval there's some three exceptions the speech therapist um the counselor and um the director
002of the preschool they're the ones that are not receiving a real one because they've chosen to not participate to me they chose but everyone else good question okay and just as a reminder this payment is um 80 of the total 301 so this is half of that 80 percent that is what we are paying the other half will be paid out in may okay we approve the first semester payment of 301 funds further discussion just a comment um i mean this is impressive uh if you look at our average teacher salaries we're talking about 34 35 increase in pay just from the 301 i think it's fabulous what a great uh christmas poem is kind of um when will that get paid out next paycheck yes and this is where when we post our salaries
003a lot of districts have their 301 money embedded into the teacher's salary and we don't do it that way because the 301 funds fluctuate um but we tell teachers when we're hiring them that we also can but we can't give them a specific number we can say ballpark between five and seven or whatever but this is count it's almost 350 more than the previous highest amount but this this this payment though it does have more money than normal the state has some one-time funding that they're able to put towards it so that's why it is so substantial okay any further comments okay mrs allen yes mrs kaise yes mr australia yes mr owen yes share mr mcgibbons uh yes motion passes thank you number seven we have a study session on refinancing they're not going
