001or Saturdays. They do the games kind of as a group setting, meaning that they bring about three or four teams together and then those teams play each other to kind of help alleviate with referee cost. And and the games themselves only last about 30 or 35 or 40 minutes. So they they typically did like a five, a six, a seven, and an 8:00, you know, time frame. So they're they're kind of scheduled on hour intervals. Um and then at the end of the season tournament which is for all the teams that they have um they provided you know a swag bag for the players and like the winning team got some something very special too. So um kind of additional stuff. I mean, my general thinking is is that if approved, I would I would

002do a clinic the 1 of August to kind of coincide with youth football camp week to kind of really introduce the the program to the players. Um, and then kind of then figure out when practice would be doable for everybody, you know, to avoid games and and stuff. Um, and then like I said, kind of truly set the roster. Uh, I don't know until we're an actual approved. I don't know what their schedule will be. Um, again, it's just kind of generalities at this point. They are they meaning the Chiefs and the state or the Chiefs mainly are are really trying to push this to become a Quesacia sport. if it becomes a caseia sport. Talking with Andrew, talking with Ted at that time, Osage City would then revisit that program to see if they

003would if we as a board or the school would want to actually have it as a sanctioned cacaious sport. At that time, it would then fall like any other, you know, sport as far as coaching and and whatnot. The main point for me to kind of get this going is is is the funding because the chiefs only have so many grant opportunities available and so this would kind of really kickstart the program. That way hopefully the school would not have to you know provide a lot of money if it became a sanctioned sport. So, um, but as far as like say the field and stuff goes, you know, south of the pow house where the middle school, the youth, the high school, all practice, I hosted seven on seven games in the summer, I can

004put three, four, five, probably as many as six fields down there if I really wanted to. So, there's plenty of room, plenty of space. Um, and like with youth football, we moved to the outfield of of the high school baseball field for lighting, you know, if it got to that. So, but again, you know, if I if I end up getting 30 or 40 girls interested, then I may have to revisit my plan and maybe, you know, recruit some extra help. But right now, I'm kind of gauging it around 10 to 15, you know, maybe 20 at the very most. But, you know, we'll see. We'll see. We'll see how it goes. So, do we have anything similar that's a club that is a school sponsored club? Uh, well, other uh Yeah, like West Franklin

005for example, they they do theirs through they're actually doing it through the school. The gentleman that that coaches it I know through summer baseball and softball, he's an actual employee of the school. kind of the the other reason that we're doing this as like an outside school program is is that I can then coach the team since I'm not technically employed by the school district. If it was a school a a school sponsored club, then there would have to be an employee or someone connected to the school to coach that team and then just to kind of basically do everything that I'm trying to do. So, um, but again, I'm just trying to get with the funding opportunities kind of in I I've been in the ear. Abby Brown is their the chief's marketing person.

006I've been in her ear for about two months now. Uh, my daughter played with a group from Baldwin this spring and he was the one that kind of spearheaded Baldwin's situation. So that's kind of how I'm piggybacking off of of what what they tried to do and got accomplished at Baldwin to do it at Osage, you know, mainly because Harmony is really interested in it and her class has a lot of girls I think that would be really successful at it. So, but we don't have as a school, we don't have anything that's like another club that we sponsor, but it's not like a school paid activity. Not that I'm aware of. Yeah. Yeah. No, there's nothing like that, Alex. Just that would be like an outside entity supporting that. Um Okay. No, not that

007I'm I'm aware of. Okay. Do you know where the games are played or they all over? Um, oh, like for example, LA last fall, Oswadami High School did not have varsity football, high school football. And so they in in to offset that, they kind of created a girls flag football team through their school. And so they ended up hosting a lot of games last year because they didn't have anything else for their football field. So they they even had like a special homecoming and they had Casey Wolf there. They It was like a major event that they had. They had even some chiefs representatives, cheerleaders. I mean, it was it was from what I've seen and read about it. Now, what I would probably lobby to do is since we have a few schools close

008to us, I would try to host at least something here one time. kind of like what I do with youth football, you know, if it's if it's during a week night, you know, if it's a Saturday, you know, just to kind of showcase the players and and just the program itself. And, you know, who knows, maybe some other area schools might, you know, jump on board and and help make this. So with the exception of Wamigo, we would be the west we're we are the western side of their their school situation. So you may have said but excluding a tournament. How many games is what would a season be? It uh it they're looking they would you would look at probably at least one to two games per week again because when you when you

009play and you you don't really just play one game with the games being like 35 or 40 minutes. You'll play if there's three teams, you'll play two, you know, the other two teams. So, probably, you know, you're looking at four weeks. Yeah. Well, it's it's a it would be se it's a sevenw week. Yeah. So, probably 14 games. Yeah. And the tournament would be like a like pool play and then you go into single elimination. So, and like I said, they invite everybody. So with 20 teams, I mean, you're looking at five pools of four and you know, you probably would play a minimum of five games in in that day. So which for flag football, I will say with my daughter participating, that's not out of the question. That Cy, does that $6,000 cover

010referees? Yes, that it it goes to that cost. and and the referees that they have for the games are actually guys that do like the NIA games like Ottawa U Baker um that conference has so like they schedule them but like our school wouldn't have like there there's a there's a scheduler out of like Kansas City that area that actually handles I would expect we would have to travel to a game site for the most part and that that is something we kind of touched on a little bit. Transportation. Um my guess at this point would be is I would rely on the parents. You know, if there's a player that's old enough to drive themselves, they could go and not have a school related, you know, transportation just to kind of alleviate the the

011scheduling. You know, the fall's not as crazy busy as the spring is, but then that way the school wouldn't have to, you know, burden with that. So, have we looked into like is there just any liability with this being a school sponsored event and then driving separately? Are we clear there? I I don't I'm not aware of that. I mean, it would be really just on Cory's organization to to take care of that. It's just really under that umbrella of the support there. I don't um I didn't look into that to be honest with you, but um the parents would have to sign off and I understand that you know that they would be providing their own transportation and if it becomes an issue. I told Corey we can talk about it to see about

012you know helping out but um but it really just be under the parent understanding that they're playing at their risk and traveling at their risk. What about injuries? injuries are under school injury insurance or he would be I mean I'm assuming it would fall under other club club programs if if a student got hurt at a robotics event. Well, but but that's actually under USC 420 where this we're saying is not under USD 420. So now we're kind of conflating it too. to be it's it wouldn't be they wouldn't be um since not quisha sponsor they wouldn't have access to that liability insurance and cat catastrophic insurance it's not that but I mean with it being a student of ours we could just look at the supplemental insurance that we provide that for parents um

013that we sign on for just like any other sport or activity or PE class that they participate in and they if they choose to participate in the supplemental insurance that could be available to them with it being tied to the school. So, it's just something we already have that would just it wouldn't have be an addition to um but it's really what that is. So, any other questions? All right. All right. I'd like to make a motion to add high school girls flag football as a club under the umbrella for the high school. Second. Wilmer. I Linton. Am I allowed to vote? I. Yes. Ty. Nay. Parsons. Hi. Bagan. Hi. He stone. Hi Carson. Hi. Six to one. All right. District policy updates. So this is the bianual um policy recommendations from KSBE. They send

014these out in June and January for school boards to review. Um this is just information only. um we'll take action on these um uh next month as it relates to that. Most of these are just related to changes in the legislation that's been uh passed in bills and things and House bills and Senate bills to make sure we're in compliance and meeting those um changes. Um, uh, I don't know if you want me to go through these real quick or if you just take the time on your own to look them over, but really that's what most of them are is really just based on legislative updates uh, to make sure we're in compliance with those as they go through that. So does this include the new uh coma and cororax that's coming out? Yeah.

015So how to deal with that whether it's financial requests or things and you have to be reasonable as it relates to those uh requests um for opens meeting act it you know like a a board committee if there's a majority of board members making up a committee like if there's a committee of five and three of them are board members and that would be open to coma um and possibly could have to be posted and all that but if the if if there's a subcommittee um you know like that we let's say for you know a bond issue or something and and the board is not making up the majority of the committee then it would be just treated like a committee not actually open to core or coma um as it relates to that.

016So but the other is just reasonable request uh for payments um that that's been clarified for us as districts too. So Zoom have any questions with those policies? I didn't look through them all. Does it include the new cell phone policies? No, it wouldn't. That's still local decisions, um, Jim. So, um, we might have those for you in July. Um, hopefully, um, if there's any changes or whatever, but those are those are local decisions as it relates to there's nothing from state legislators that's that's dictating that that I'm aware of. [Music] There would only be two new new policies of this recommendation and one's a whistleblower and that really comes from um the House Bill 2160 and the other ones is um enrollment of military students and that comes from House Bill 21102. Um, so

017if they can enroll prior to parent actually being stationed in an area of a school. So they don't need a proof of address or anything like that. So um if a family's placed in an area then they can enroll um without proof of address prior to coming. So those are the two new ones and the rest are just revisions. We don't we don't vote on those single, right? We do it all or run. Correct. Yeah, do it all at once. Yeah. Any other questions? All right. Three legs report. When we met Monday, Monday evening, uh the gist of this meeting again was uh the budget and all super most of the superintendents were there to uh and discuss what options they feel that the schools have and uh right now the three legs wants to

018keep a contingency of what 10 to 18% I believe of their budget which they're well short of right now. Uh so they've currently got a hiring freeze slash wage freeze going on right now with the uh until further notice and so nothing's been voted on budget wise yet. So Ted I don't know if you got anything else to add but yeah how many staff have they reduced from the end of the school year basically. Jim did you it was seven or nine or something like that. I can't remember what the actual number was. Do you have that? I didn't write it down. I'm sorry. That's all right. I think it was around seven to nine in between there that positions that they didn't fill. Um, right. You know, we I mentioned that we're losing a

019teacher um a sped teacher in the elementary that's they're transferring to Lynon um based on need. Lynon lost two teachers and they needed one to replace to help with CA case loads. So, um our case loads are somewhat manageable. Still a little high, but higher than I know Dena would like. Um but with the situation that we're in um we have to take those things into considerations and minimize new positions or um to do that. But we do have to you know follow the IEPs and provide that support as needed. And um you know if that's what we have to do not to have a um legal action taken on us and we'll have to do that. The three legs will have to figure that out. But right now they're looking at a 1.6 6

020million increase in assessments for the all six districts combined. Um that's with the cutting of staff and where they're at. Um what they're doing is waiting to see what their June making sure all their June expenditures get done to really analyze and see where they're going to end up with their contingency. Um which should be probably less than 300,000 I think. Jim, is that is that do you remember that what she's anticipating? Exactly. Right. Yeah. So around there at 300,000 the goal is not necessarily to do get to 10 or 18% within one year. That would be building over three years to get to that in between that and that's what's in the policy for three lakes to keep that contingency of around 10 to 18%. Um but Green Bush is going to work with

021her with um Three Lakes to make a to come up with a plan for us to approve as a board and a soup um to gradually increase that that that contingency fee. We can't do it all in one year. That's just a lot to ask of all the districts to do that. So um right now we would um if it if it were standing today, which it's not. It's still it's still just being worked on. We'd look at 1.1 million in assessments. That's four assessments. That didn't include the fifth assessment. Um and um in 2425, our four assessments were $831,763. Um so right now they're proposing just for our district at a 21% we pay 21% of the assessment um would be 1.1 million. Um, so that's a almost a $350,000 increase in our assessment

022right now compared to last school year. Uh, with the four um four payments or the four assessments we did, like Jimmy mentioned, the fifth assessment that was around 300 365,000 so they could make payroll to end the school year. I didn't include that in as a as a factor. Um, I just used the numbers from the actual four assessments. Um, so that was in 2425. The district paid 831,736 for their assessments. And right now, what's being proposed is 1.1 million, which is almost a $350,000 increase, which I mean, we'd have to do some things to really evaluate what we're doing with our budget. Um, but some other districts are going to really struggle to make their all their assessments. Um so um there there's some major concern there. So um so it's it's a major

023conversation as as Jim said. So is there a penalty for missing your assessment? Um I don't we don't know what that is. Um um what's being recommended is taking out a no fund warrant for one of the districts and basically that's a loan um to make your payment. And obviously the district doesn't want to do that. Um there's some situations where districts, you know, maybe a major drop in enrollment and and really, you know, see a decrease in their budget, so they take out a no fund warrant so they can make payroll and different things and pay bills. But that doesn't happen very often, but that's usually due to, you know, a major drop in enrollment for some reason. Um but um that was what's recommended um that that the district does to to be

024able to make their payment. And um we're trying to figure a way that we can make this work for everybody. Um you know, dissolving the the co-op is not I don't see it being an option and and trying something else because we have to provide services. I mean, we're obligated legally to do that and that would cause a major disruption to services at this time. Um, but it's really just really crunching the numbers and trying to figure it out. Um, you know, we did give a a a pretty hefty raise for paras to get to that 15 $15 an hour base and it's helped. We don't have as much turnover with paras. Um, but there's other, you know, 90% of their budget is is salaries if not 95%. I mean, that's what it is. So,

025um, there's really when they get done with this June, their June payroll and seeing what their expenditures are, we really got a fine tooth coma to see what's going on. Um, because this is significant increase in assessments. How many employees are they paying? Um, do you know, is itund How do you know? 150, 125. I have no idea what they're paying. It's quite a few. I I haven't got that list with me. I want to say it's in between 125 and 150, Tyler, for some reason. That jumps to my head. Um, but I mean, from 23 to 24, there was a $460,000 increase. Um, from 24 to 25 there was a a $693,000 increase in assessments and now she's looking at a $1.6 million increase. Um, excuse me, Three Lakes is looking at that. Um,

026and the four years prior to that, there were no increases to assessments. Um, and I'm not sure what that was before me. So, I'm not sure why that was what it was or why there were or not. I don't know if we're reeling off of that because there were no increases to assessments and it's catching up to us now and we didn't realize that or or what. Um but it's hitting us now and it's significant. You said 90 to 95% was just payroll. I think so, Cali. I think that's the majority. 94% 94. Thank you. Yeah. Thank. So that's the plan right now. You said Dream Bush is helping out then, right? Yeah. So they're um Travis Labor, I worked with him many moons ago, but um he's retired superintendent 15 year plus. Um and

027has worked with special ed budgets. Um he's he's met with her, got some numbers. um you know he's he's going to they're going to have a work session here once they get their June numbers figured out and and sit down and and KSD is a very is is aware of this as well and and see where support we can get from them through this process as well. So are there any other co-ops that are experiencing similar jump and spike? I don't I don't know if they're that significant, PJ, but I know the SDK interlocal, they were um having a meeting to talk about, excuse me, increases in assessments, but I'm not sure what that percentage was. Um that's the only one I know of um that are seeing increase, you know, but I don't know

028what percent that is for them. So th this is set up to where the co-op has a director and we we consult with them. We don't have any really direct power. We meaning USD420 and the other superintendent and districts don't have any power on how they choose to operate and pay their employees. Is that correct? We have a representative at the table one. We but we don't have any really direct say say in in what they do and how they operate. I mean who she's supposed to we consult monthly as a superintendent group and give her feedback and direction of what we think should happen. Um but then that's whatever's taken to the board is is taken to the board um based on her work in that. So what if all the school district just

029said no? What position does Three Lakes have to, you know, force us to go along with what they want to do? I I don't know the answer to that, Corey. My recommendation is to, as you know, sitting here today is to, you know, most districts have, according to KST, about a 4.7% increase in their budget for next year based on the base going up that p, you know, that percent of the CPI and that. So you would be operating off that and that's what my recommendation is going to be is that she increases her budget 4.7% just like we have to and figure it out from there. So um but I don't know I don't know what would happen if we didn't if we didn't refuse to pay or whatever. I mean people got to

030get paid but then we'd have a major legal battle. I mean, to me, it's unfortunate that we're having to make up for their mistake and and it and it potentially could cost our employees. Sure. And our district Well, not just us, but everybody in the co-op. Yeah. Because of their I don't know. This is going to impact more than Oh, yeah. more than just Yeah. I mean, this relates the students. To me, to me, this is pretty significant fumble. It's significant. Is he doing an actual audit or is he just working with the budget with her? He's just working with the budget. We've recommended an outside audit um to her as well um which is going to be about seven grand. So another expense, but um but that's um we've recommended her to look into

031that to have another external audit done. Um so who who oversees Three Lakes? Who's above them? Is it the state? Well, for compliance issues, yes, but not necessarily budget. They have to turn in a budget, but they don't have to have it approved. Is Is that right, Jim? Is that So, they have to just submit it, but it doesn't have to technically be approved by K KD KSD. Um, so, but overall, they have, you know, the it's more about compliance with IEPs is the oversight there is really where that is and not necessarily budgetary. Is is there something that the schools could share that 7,000 just to have that audit? Oh, yeah. That'll be all shared. I mean, I'd have to we I we the district would pay have to pay 20% of that. That's

032our percentage. 21% of anything that comes, you know, is additional, then that's the our our district's portion of that is 21% of that. So, yeah, it'd be a shared cost. But again, we're trying to figure out how to cut expenses any every which way. 7,000 will spent. Yeah. I will say though, it it really does affect our whole entire district, especially our students because we're not just losing one in the elementary. We've already lost one in the middle school um special education teacher. So, it's And then no Paris support. I mean, we'll have the pairs that we have right now, but you're talking no new huge loads, huge case loads, and then covering multiple grade levels. I do worry that the IEPs will not be upheld. I mean, that is a scary situation. Well, yeah.

033I mean, you you I mean, we're looking at 1.1 and they're still 90 employees under what they should be. I mean, that's that's crazy. Is there anything we can do to to provide support to the to the admin team as far as pairs go? Uh like help out with educating just to kind of cover that shortfall for the elementary and the middle school. Well, again, PJ is something we'll have to evaluate as we go with the, you know, $3450,000 increase in assessments. Can we really add new staff? I mean, you know, teacher aids. Yeah. But I mean, there's a difference between an aid and a parah. PAR can provide that support and we hire aids because we're not a speed but we can provide some support um that's not really considered paras but but that's

034something we could consider but um but they are not technically par profofessionals because they don't work for the co-op and that's where the services should come from. So basically we're just in a holding game until June budgets come in and then the assessment they're going to do it. So time frame we're not looking at I mean anything probably happening until what August or I'd say October probably. Yeah. I don't think there'll be a budget proposal until August. Um, and that really it's just PJ is just supporting Jim and getting him direction of where we stand as a district as oppos you know like if it's a percent increase. It's like, you know, we support Jim representing our district to say this is where we're at and we're not going to take anything over, you know,

0354.7% increase for your budget just like ours or something to that effect. and um and I'll keep you informed and and do that, help Jim through this, but it's really just this is where we stand as a district and Jim will be res representing us in that at the table. You said you recommended an audit, but does that mean that they're actually going to do the audit or is just a strong recommendation at this point? Was that talked about, Jim, Monday night? Not at all. I think we need to do an include that in our whatever our direction. Yeah. Yeah. We're willing to do the 4.7% increase as long as do the audit. Yeah. A third independent audit. Correct. Yeah. How long does an audit take? Um, any idea? Probably depends on how messy it

036is. Yeah, that's what I was going to say about Yeah. Well, and even maybe further back than that if they haven't been doing increases prior to, you know, who knows. Yeah, it could be pretty lengthy. Um, well, I'd like to find a way to support our staff and to support our admin team. I I'm sure an aid is better than nothing. It's not going to probably provide the results that we need. Um, but I think I think we definitely need to lean on Tim and Dina on this to figure out what they need for their schools. Um, and provide some kind of support one way or the other. And we may not even know until school starts. Yeah. And it could be September before we have an idea of what that's going to look like

037after we get our final enrollment numbers. That was discussed at the meeting on uh sales needed three more pairs or aids um and whether we should pay for them ourselves or the co-op should pay for them. And it was conflicted on whether I think there were more people decided that schools shouldn't be paying for them, but they should be because we are co-op that they should be paying for it and not the local schools. So yeah, they can get reimbursement for those positions whereas we cannot since we're not we're not a standalone because they get um I can't remember what the percentage is for parents and teachers alike. they get reimbursement of categor categorical aid for teachers and paras and we would be stuck with the full salary where they can get some of that

038paid for by categorical aid and that's kind of the catch 22 when you start cutting paras and teachings you also cut revenue from the categorical aid so it's kind of a catch 22 um so we wouldn't be we wouldn't have access to that we'd have to pay the full salary and benefits for those positions. Is there another co-op we could join? Not not now. It'd be significant um one the turnaround time I don't think it could make the support happen and two it'd be a sign significant buy in with a district our size number and are we in a position to do that? you know, um we've talked as a as superintendent group, you know, like dissolving it, maybe doing an interlocal or uh I guess we're in a a cooperative where one district runs

039the the the sped co-op, but that would be a major change and and we can't risk this so late in the game, not having staffing to support the IEPs that are in place for a start of next school here. Well, I'd say if this continues to be an issue, we start looking at maybe another co-op or developing something like that and have a contingency of some kind. Yeah, I mean, that's kind of where we're headed. We're trying to really see what these numbers are going to be like and then really start having those conversations, PJ, about the future and and what our options. Um, you know, we could not financially support our own special education as a standalone district. Um, I looked into that a few years ago. If we were fully funded at 92%

040of cost, which is where sped money comes from, right now we're we're probably under 70% where it should be 92%. Um, if we're at 92%, we could be a standalone special education district. But, um, but since we're not, it's just not something we can take on ourselves. And that's that that is kind of like what Mission Valley does. They're Yes. They they do their own, right? Yeah, but if you've been doing it for a while, it's, you know, you got things in place and you you're managing, but to start up one now with lack of funds would be very difficult for a district to do. Yeah, we're in a rocking hard rock. I haven't been happy with three leg I mean, they haven't covered three legs haven't covered us for I mean years. I mean,

041we've always fought with them about coverage. Anything else? Anything more joyous? Rest of it was kind of boring, was it? No, there wasn't much else to that meeting. Does anyone have any other questions on Three Lakes? No. Um, superintendent report. Okay. Um, just update on our facilities long range planning work session. I reached out to Bobby Pearson, the local architect. I'm going to meet with her on Monday when I get back. Um, her and the her consultants and kind of talk about where we're at, share the information. I've already shared the information that I shared with you guys at the work session and started that conversation. And so we're going to have kind of a starting point there um to meet with her on Monday and just kind of see where we're going to go

042from there as it relates to the focus from the board on facilities. Um I've also reached out to Dustin Aby who works for Piper Sandler um who does uh school bond um support. um he's going to present at the July board meeting and talk about mill levies and how those are affect and where we're at with our bond iss current bond issues and give you guys that information to speak to it probably better than I can as it relates to mill levies and and paying off bonds early and what that looks like. He's just asked when we received our receive our assessed valuation for our budget information that I share that with him and then he can be be prepared to present in July um to uh have that conversation as it relates to u

043mill levbies and and the bond issue that we currently have and future bond issues. So um he'll be presenting in July. Um we also are going to take a tour of the facilities in July. Uh PJ wanted to make sure we got that on their agenda, too. So we'll be doing that. And then um and then after that conversation, we'll see where it goes as it relates to bond issues and paying off the bonds and um and we can bring some in support to talk about bond issues and getting those going um uh after this July meeting. But um since that session or work session, that's what I where I'm at um with getting this information going for the board. So, any questions about facilities long range planning? All right. Non-resident students. Um, I think

044we've had three or four requests. It's mainly kindergarten. Um, I I don't Patty, have we gotten any more? No, not since you've been gone. I think we have three. Okay. So, I don't see We won't have to do a lottery or anything. you'll just be able to to bring those on as we do that. So, I'll take care of that when I get back and do the notifications and things of that nature. But, um we have not received that many non-resident requests right now. So, when does that window close? See, is it the end of the month? It's June 15th is the is when it you have to have your application in. So, we we'll take them the 16th on that Monday. I don't that's fine. But um but I'll start reviewing those and going

045through that when I get back. So does that put us towards the top of that cap for that grant for kindergarten? No, I right now I think um Dina anticipated 40 some 42 and I I think I think I can't remember what that number is Tyler but there'll be room there. I think we have a little bit of room. I thought it was 50. I was thinking that too. That's what I that that would bring us up to 47. Okay. Yeah. Uh meeting with Fred Meyer Greenbush um budget helper that we go through. We're going to close out our budget on July 1st. So we were scheduled to do it um June 25th, but we're going to a budget workshop with at KSD that day. So we had to push it to July 1. And

046so um he sent us our stuff. you know, Pam and Patty will be ready. We can just make that transition to close out the 2425 budget and start ready getting ready for the 25 26 budget. So, um, but we'll be doing that on July 1st. How budget software work? Sorry. How the new budget software work? Um, is a struggle to start with payroll, but it's I think it's going to work really good. Good change, bad change, good change. Yeah, they went to training to for close out um a couple weeks ago. Um Patty and Pam did. So they're, you know, go our first time will be different. You know, obviously learning curve, but um they're picking it up pretty quick, which is great. So summer maintenance seems to be rolling along. Um getting floors done,

047a lot of painting and cleaning and um getting things updated. Um they're coming the week of June 23rd to do the intercom. I just found that out today. So they'll be updating taking the week if not a little more to do that um for the intercom system update. Um but um we're getting things rolling um based on what I know even with being gone. But they're getting after it. So and that's all I really have for my report. that intercom system, was it was it phones also or was it wall systems? What was it? No, it'll tap into our current phone system and be programmed into those. Um, so really it's just updating the the panel that allows us to have local control uh for different a variety of things and making sure that all

048areas are covered and zoned with the new system. Um, because the one we have is I don't know how old it is, but it's pretty old. So, so we'll be able to just do high school announcements in the high school, middle school, and so on. Plan um have those different zones to cover depending on how those are set up. Um we'll have access to update our bells systems, you know, so if we have changes or whatever like we did last year, we can do those ourselves instead of making a service call that's cost significant amount of money, we can do that just locally now. Um, so, um, there'll be a lot more bells and whistles, but it does tap into our our phone system now. Perfect. Any other questions? All right. I move that we
