001I'm going to call the meeting to order. Uh the first thing we need to do is approve the agenda. Second. Sean and Curtis. Been moved and second to approve the agenda. All those in favor say I. I. Opposed. All right. Next, I need a motion to approve the consent agenda. Second. Try and Curtis. Moved and second to approve the consent agenda. All those in favor say I. I. opposed. All right. Recognitions. Yeah. I want to take the opportunity to um recognize and thank everyone for the greater educational community for I think we've had just an exceptional school year. Uh truly, I mean, there's always challenges here and there, but uh just really had a really good school year, and that's thanks to everyone who's involved in the schooling process. But of course particularly want to
002congratulate the graduating class of 2025 and then also any of the other classes as they move up to the next building. Uh you know be the second graders going to the third grade and fifth graders going to the sixth grade and of course the eighth graders going on to the ninth grade. So uh this is a quality school year that ended up with culminating in graduation on Saturday. We had a flying event. So that's it Mr. Jones. Thank you, Dr. Myers. Let's move to financials and Mike. Okay. On page page two of the warrants, um the High Plains Co-op, we had state funds um come through us to the High Plains, $95,369. And then down below KSB or membership dues, um 2750 and then $10,990.17 that you guys approved us doing that. And then on
003page three, um University of Missouri has a uh software program we use $14,850. And then above that, skyward $21,671. And for the University of Missouri, that's the knee program. It's the evaluation system that we use and that's for three years. It's three-year purchase. So total warrants for this month, $318,92.61. And then on page five, our cash balances are where we expect them to be. And then on page six, our expenditures are also where we expect them to be. And then we have our transfers and the high school, middle school reports. If you have any questions, hey Mike, what is the share media subscription on page one? That's the um when we post things on like the uh you get the messages from Kisha. Well, you don't know the weekend, but we broadcast things out. That's
004how this program that we use. I just haven't seen that one before. Yeah. Okay. There are no other questions. I'll entertain a motion to approve the financials at $318,9261. Curtis and Sean, moved and second to approve the financials. All those in favor say I. opposed. All right. No public patron concern concerns. So, administrative reports. Dr. Myers. Yeah. Just so happens Kona happens to be here. I didn't ask her to be here, but she's here to help celebrate this. Um Kona in her offices as the case sponsor wrote for and received a $4,000 grant from Blue Cross Blue Cross Blue Shield uh with the purpose of converting one of the tennis courts. It's a joint effort with the wreck into a pickle ball court. That's pretty cool. I think u the grant that she received will
005buy, you know, it's paint supplies, the net, that kind of thing. And I understand Eric is they are dedicated to resurfacing one of the courts and then put up lighting in the whole nine yards. Maybe even a a basketball hoop something. Yes. Yeah. So, I don't know at what point all this will happen. We don't have we don't have to check yet either. Yeah. But it is a cool opportunity and pickle ball is all the rage, you know, for the last couple about eight years or so. So we will be entering the 21st century with pickle ball. Um about a month ago or yeah about three weeks ago uh the chief of police came and saw me and ask me the about the concept of would we be interested would the board be interested rather
006in allowing the local police uh to issue tickets on our school grounds. I guess we have um you know the school grounds technically are private property. Didn't know that. I figured it was public property but Now, in order to allow them to issue tickets violations for like speeding or reckless driving or whatever, uh it would take the board's uh acceptance for creating and passing a a policy to allow this to occur. I said, "What th by you guys? It's all about safety as far as I'm concerned." Uh he did send me some language, but I didn't want to bring you language to, you know, check which way the wheat was waving on this. See if you're interested in it. I personally I'm in favor of this because it is a safety issue. Uh, if board
007sees no problems with this, I'll have language for you at the next board meeting. I think it's a good idea. I mean, not that we see a lot of things going on, but just in case. All righty. Power school extension. You know, we're in the in the way of moving away from P school and going to Skyward. Well, there's this transition period we're going through and there two programs that we use from uh powers school as the enrollment process and then also the student information system um where all the data is is stored. This was a herculean uh event to take get this taken care of, but we finally got a six-month extension on both the enrollment and on the CIS, if you will, how it's called. So, um those are in place now and
008so we have access to all both those products through December of 25. So that will allow us to continue with the enrollment process and if we need to go to deep grab some data andor when we do have the migration to Skyward it's all ready to roll. So take advantage of the opportunity that technology provides us. So that's a good thing. Lastly we did have our KSE fiscal audit did not well our people do a fine job with everything but we did lose 6.4 FTE. So, like Mike and I keep talking about, the last 13 14 months have just been brutal uh fiscally for us. So, we lost another $59,000 uh due to fis the fiscal audit. A lot of that was tied to I don't remember the actual term, but uh at risk, which
009has to do with pre pre-certification for free and reduced food. So people sign up for what they have they thinking they make this amount of money and then they come along later on and some people get raises sometime you know and they get reclassified. So anyway as it started out we were down 9.6 or something like that but we reached out got some things changed around ended up negative 6.4. Uh so we're adjusting things so it's $59,000 decrease in the current budget as well. We still are looking at a 6.5% roll out at the end of the school year. So, we're still printing that way. It just I'm ready for the cup to be passed on in all our fiscal challenges. Anyway, that's my report, Mr. Jones. All right. Thank you. All right. Buildings and
010grounds. Transportation. Services. He's coming up. I just want to talk about summer service. Okay. Uh we have summer food starting May 27th. Um it will run through June 30th and breakfast will be served at the high school from 7:15 to 10:00 a.m. And lunch will be served at the Hulk Elementary School from 11 to 1. And you'll find this later on on the agenda because board needs to approve this for this to take place. Uh and through the years we serve they serve a lot of meals. It's a popular program. So good on Monica and her crew. Appreciate you. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Technology Julie. All right. Let's move to the principles and we're going to start with Dr. Hilton. [Laughter] shaking it up. Well, uh first uh thank you to Sean and
011uh the other business partners in the community who were present for our career fair with our seventh graders uh last month. Um that that had a lot of fanfare from the kids and the families and uh I felt the our business partners were happy with it as well. Gave us good feedback to continue building that next year. So, that was really cool. Uh, Miss Leonard, Miss uh, Reynolds have done a great job with that and we'll keep building that going forward. Um, couple things just on safety. Um, we wrapped up our final fire drill last week uh, for the year. Uh, we do uh, five fire drills a year and three tornado drills a year. It's more than we're required to do, but I think practice, especially with middle schoolers, is important. Um, we're able
012uh all of our fire drills this year, we were able to evacuate the building and get all kids accounted for in three and a half minutes or less each time. So, I'm very pleased with with that. Of course, we always try to get a second better each time, but I was pleased with that. Uh, June, I will have um summit of behavior data for you. I try to give that to you every June before we go. So, uh just want to give you that update. Did you get the Chromebook uh fiasco taken care of? No. Um, we haven't had any new incidents this week. He means yes. It's all picked. Uh, we're hopeful. I've spoke spoke with Dr. Myers and Julie. I'm hoping, you know, keeping those based at school next year. That that has
013to help. I hope so. And we need to turn off Tik Tok in the entire world. Yeah, we'll work on that. Do that with Tic Tac. We'll get with X she on that and Xin on that and get that fixed for you. But, uh, no, uh, we're hopeful that helps. Um, you know, and, uh, you know, the letters are ready and going to families. You know, there there's a there's a bill to pay. Of course, with middle schoolers, you know, how much does do they really understand that money that that bill, you know, I tried to explain to actually one this uh on Friday, I tried explaining it to how many meals at McDonald's for their parent to have to pay that. And it seemed to at least raise his eyebrow a little bit. They
014just don't grasp how much they're costing their families with those damages. But continue working on it. Thank you. Thank you. All right, come on up, Amy. Okay, we finished um Fastbridge testing a week ago and um have some exciting results to share. um our reading out of our 160 students that we tested, only 39 of them didn't meet benchmark or have typical and aggressive growth. So, I thought that was amazing. So, that leaves us at 76% um with meeting benchmark or having that typical and aggressive growth. Now, that does not mean that all of them met benchmark, but if they didn't, they made as much growth as they could possibly grow in a year because they were in that typical and aggressive growth category. You can't ask anything more of students when they're already making
015typical and aggressive growth. So, that was awesome. And um and within that reading, I'm so proud of our teachers and our students both. Um we had I had two teachers They got 100% of their students in their classroom at benchmark for the end of the year testing. So that was awesome. That's the first year since I've been in the seat that that's ever happened. So kudos to them. And our math, this is our first year for our new math adoption, which was very, very, very, very hard for teachers and students both. I mean, all the way to the end, it was hard. Um, but golly, our our dad is amazing. We had out of our 160 students only 12 students that were tested did not meet meet benchmark or get growth. So it's working. It's
016hard but it's working. So we are at 93% overall with typical and aggressive growth or benchmark. So that is the best data we've ever had in math. And along with that, four teachers in math got all of their students 100%. So, I mean, the math curriculum clearly is working. It's hard and I'm hoping that in a couple years that transitions over to HS and on within the state assessments because it is fully loaded with problem solving. All of it is has to do with word problems and solving those problems using different um methods and teaching them all kinds of different ways to solve those problems. And I feel like that's kind of more the route that the state assessments has. So hopefully we start to see that trickle over into that data. You want to
017go ahead and do Ry's? No, I have no idea. I have been going. Oh, she didn't. Okay. I don't know. I have like 180 emails to track. No, I can't be. Sorry. All right. Well, thank you, Amy. All right, Mr. Johnson. Um, I don't really have a whole lot to talk about as a plus one thing. I did have I want to be on record that I had a 14 to 15 seniors in my house this morning at 4:30. Uh that was their senior prank. And so uh it just so happens that one of my sons is a senior and he let them in. They're supposed to sleep on the lawn but he felt bad for everybody. And so uh they slept on my living room floor. So when I walked out this morning like
0186:30 there's they're all there which was funny because they were trying to be they're trying to hide. They're trying to act like they were asleep. It's fun that you have a good group of kids that try to uh have fun and they act like six-year-olds again. It's funny whenever they're giggling and they don't know we're sleeping, all that kind of different stuff. Um that's a culmination of just this group. Uh my first year as principal, they were freshman. I got to see them all the way go through. Uh several of us have kids in that class. Uh it's just a really good class. It was a good when you're reflecting this year uh just on a good year that we had uh their leadership when you ask them to do some new things like student
019leadership groups and MTSS and standardsbased grading and they attack it and they just try they give great effort and so it's just a really um it was a really special class and so uh kind of just want to make that what this is about and they're going to be missed uh and I know all of us are especially the ones that we have that or leave it. It uh kind of touches your heart because you're not going to see them again. And uh not like forever. They're going to come back. But the the thing you miss is walking down the hallway and and telling them give them a hard time about they're out in the hallways more than what you are or joking around with them and and you don't get to do that anymore.
020And so it was kind of empty today without them. So thank you, Jerry. All right, let's move to unfinished business. And health insurance. All righty. We have uh Brian Hillier, the district insurance broker, is uh zooming in or Google meeting in uh to walk us through the uh good news about a health insurance um renewal. And so, as you you as I've been telling you guys, we have a 3% increase. But what I asked Brian to do is basically give you some details of the plan itself and maybe walk through just how we've gotten to this spot. So, Brian, it's all yours. [Music] He's muted. One second. Wait a little bit of feedback. Is he muted? What's that yellow box? Do we need a microphone over there? Can you guys hear me? There we go.
021Here you fantastic. But I'll go ahead and kick things off on the on the medical plan. You know, ultimately we had a difficult year last year based off of the claims experience and it made it very very challenging. Uh the good news is is that this year it's very black and white and a lot easier. Less decisions have to be made from a what are we going to do? Uh as they stated the the health insurance plan was a 3% renewal and I'd be happy to share my screen but I can give you the high some high levels in the beginning. You want me to share my screen? happy to give you those numbers. The original renewal actually came in at 7%. And we went back to them just based off of the the painful
022process last year. Really encouraged them that we wanted to renew. Um being open, we had no other quotes. Was one of those things that we were going to renew either way. Uh but we did go back to them and just say, "Hey, we want to renew. We want to make this process easy. what what would it take for us to just renew and at the end of the day we were able to settle at that plus 3%. Um obviously healthcare costs continue to go up and so they were just looking for a little bit of a bump. Uh that said we did go out to the market and we did get all the different quotes. We went to Blue Cross, United Sigma, Edna, Gravy, a couple other quotes, All State, Angle, who you're currently with.
023And uh I wanted to just share a couple of the numbers. So again, it didn't make the decision very black and white, but Blue Cross did come in at a 44% increase from where you're at today. and United Healthcare came in at a 48% increase. So when we when we when we went to negotiate with them and get that 7% down to a 3%, it wasn't because we had competition and we're threatening to leave. At the end of the day, it was we just were trying to be a good partner. They they stepped in last year and helped us in your time of need. We we basically indicated that we want to renew and just asked if they had any wiggle room to that fourth and again that's where they're able to come from that
0247% to the 3%. The good news is is that there's no plan design changes. So a lot of times we we present to school districts or cities, counties, governments and we we present a renewal and we say well it's plus 9% but you're out of pockets going up coay changing da da da. The good news is is that these are the same plans that you have today. So no change to the deductibles, no change to the out of pockets, no change to the office visits, the prescription visits. So exact same program that you have today and again the renewal is sitting at the 3%. So I'm happy to answer any questions. I'm happy to give any other details, but again the next best quote was Blue Cross at 44 and so it's a pretty black
025and white decision, pretty easy today. Any questions for me? Yeah, thank you. Thank you. So, that translates into about $22 a month pre-tax, so post tax and $167 out of pocket. Yeah. The only other thing that I would just add quickly is we did meet as the insurance committee that reviewed all the different options. Uh, a couple of them did mention that at the beginning of the meeting, they said, "Hey, we'd love to go back to Blue Cross. It was really when we were with Blue Cross. Then after seeing the numbers, it was a unanimous vote from the insurance committee to move forward with the renewal and that's ultimately what we presented today. So I just wanted to to know that we did follow the proper steps. It wasn't just us telling Engle Angel Sigma
026that we wanted to renew. We went through the proper channels and ultimately that's why it's showing up on your agenda tonight. So with are there any questions? So with that in going with the recommendation from the insurance committee and my recommendation to the board is that we uh approve the health insurance plan as presented the angle sigma option. So move second Ryan. It's been moved and seconded to approve the uh health insurance plan for next year as presented. All those in favor say I. I. opposed. All right, that was easy. Thank you, Brian. Thank you, man. Appreciate you. We'll get to work on open enrollment. So, we'll hit the ground running. I believe open enrollment will be starting here shortly and we'll get this out to the employees. So, thank you everybody. I'm sure I'm
027sure Mike and you will be in contact. Close contact. Correct. All right. Thank you. All right. Let's move to Julie and technology purchases. All right. As standard operating procedure, you guys are well aware. Uh we do rotations of things. Uh it's this particular year it's time to buy laptops for the teachers. Uh so Julie's been working this for a while. Um we will ultimately do laptops and Chromebooks, but this month we've got the bid information for you for laptops. Uh she's brought forth for you. You need 110 laptops. Uh Dell Pro 16 plus laptops. They're 16inch non-touch screens. uh using the purchasing co-ops, we don't have to worry about the bid process. Uh it basically comes in at 220. Well, basically it is comes in at $225,88830. Uh and we'll by making the purchase now,
028they'll come in, we'll get them all processed, ready to roll, and be handed out to the teachers for the beginning of the school year. The old computers that were being rolled out, uh we wipe them clean. They're given to other staff members. uh they're used as loaners, you know, within the district. Uh t cannibalize them for parts and ultimately are just discarded down the road. So there's a plan for them ultimately. So but as far as tonight goes, uh I'd just recommend the board approve of the purchase of the teacher laptops as presented, but Julia can answer questions for you if you have any. Can we survive without a touch screen? Hard to believe. For you, no. I just wondering if everything's touch anymore. So they do have a touch. So with technology getting better,
029you think there's a opportunity in the future to five years, six years possibly just depends on the particular mach Yes. Yes. The price actually includes the extended warranty. So it went up. No problem. Thank you, Julie. I will make the motion to to approve the laptop for 225,000 change. Second. Ryan and Curtis. Been moved and seconded to approve the purchase of teacher laptops as presented. All those in favor say I. I. Opposed. All right. District strategic plan. All righty. As you're aware, uh throughout the year, we've been working on the district strategic plan. uh put out I mean this has been a year-long process uh put out a survey to the community ended up with 242 responses really good uh response as far as I'm concerned u Dr. Carlin from KSB, former student from Ber
030City, facilitated this work for us. Uh ran the two different community focus groups meetings that we had. U really really well done, just good process, good substantive conversations that took place where they took the survey results and you know just really got into the information and had a process by which they uh honed in on it and said well what's what are the themes that are emerging? Uh then ultimately, if you guys recall, you you came back together and worked with the admin team for like two or three hours on a given night. Uh and that ultimately led to and you had on your spot a uh a draft has been developed of the district strategic plan. And the four areas that uh that came to light from all this work are student success, exceptional
031staff, commun communication, culture, and community facilities and grounds. And so this is not there's no action on this tonight whatsoever. This is just an opportunity for you to see the information again and just look at it. You know, if it's something pops to you, you say, "Well, what about this as well?" Have you thought about these ideas? Um just idea opportunity for feedback and or thoughts. Next month we would be coming back and try to to for an action item and get it all predified for you to take a look at it. Um the ultimate goal ult is the uh looking at all these items it it's impossible to eat an elephant in one big bite. So that's that's a setting that's for failure. So what needs to occur is the board would look to
032prioritize one or two of the strategies per area. And so the U admin would want want to be giving you input on this. So that doesn't have to happen next month either. Next month would be that's our strategic plan. Let's go. And then probably July and August by that time the admin team would come back and say well of these areas we think the most important areas within this would would be this. Then of course the board say well okay but we're the ones get to set the the priorities. So here's our here's your recommendations. Here's what we think. And that's that would be our marching orders. That's where we'd go. So I prior to this meeting, I just went ahead and bulleted a few of these things just for instances. So under student success,
033if I were making choices today, if I were making recommendations today, I'd say A and B would be the areas of focus that we need to address. U first all these things would be addressed ultimately. Under exceptional staff, A and C is where I would want want to spend our time and effort. under communication A would be the area where I'd want to spend the time and under facilities and grounds a uh that's the area where I would want to go. Now within this as well the board can say you know what this is fine we have all this wonderful stuff but we really think you need to focus on four facilities and grounds that's where you need to spend the time and effort that's what we need to do because as a board you
034get you have the right you have the privilege you have it's your duty to set the priorities set the policy set the marching orders and it's my job to put them into play. So that's what I'd really like you to do is take a look at this again. You've seen this before. we help build it and so when we come back together uh next month you say yeah that this is what we did and so looking for approval and then ultimately the next step would I'd be coming along like I said with here's the admin recommendation and but board what do you think because you get to set the priorities so questions comments [Music] concerns you were a part of all this so you just have to hearken back a couple months ago You need
035to add something about wearing masks. The trigle proviso. It looks good. I think a lot of good hard substantive work went into this. This was not like just picking berries. Uh and I do believe it helps move the district down the down the road. And like I said, we've a lot of these ideas have been out there. They've just never been on a piece of paper. and it needs to survive the current leadership and the current board and that's what this ultimately will do. All right. Okay. We will now move to visa action plan. All righty. This is another piece of work that's been ongoing. Uh the DT the district leadership team has been you know heading up the uh accreditation work for multiple years as the system has changed. uh evolving of course the
036through the BLT building leadership teams uh and the different grade levels the teachers and the other the people who work within the buildings and ultimately the people outside of the building the greater education community uh on our accreditation efforts well this year the assignment from the KSD was to develop an action plan and get it submitted which has been done it's been submitted uh if we have to tweak something no big deal we'll get that done next week Um but what you have also at your place is the actual information that got submitted. All right. So the area that was chosen for us to of focus is quality instruction. The ultimate goal of course is to improve all student uh achievement academic and social emotional. And so the belief system by looking at our data
037is by focusing on quality instruction that will do it. That will raise the the tide. So all the ships will will go up with the rising tide. So our approach will be the creation of the USD 363 instructional playbook and professional learning calendar. So what we've created is this um action plan in focusing in on explicit instruction, teacher clarity and student engagement. Okay. So what was at your place at the table is what got put it submitted into the K into the KST ka spot if you will. Uh and so then next year we will be creating the actual playbook which would then be implemented implemented in 2627. Now next year is not just about creating it. will also be you know doing stuff as well you know trying out the different because these are
038the areas of work and this is where accreditation will reside as we move forward in two years it's one thing we have if we build a plan and then we implement the plan this time next year they'll say okay have you implemented your plan say yeah we're doing it it's two years from now they'll say all right what impact is it having then they'll start looking at the outcomes well and like Amy was talking about the we're getting good results. The stuff we're doing is working, but the whole ball game now is all about the state assessments. That's Amy even mentioned it. So, the the theory of action here is if we do well on all this stuff and we're getting good results on our fast bridge and our different screeners and whatnot, in theory,
039it's all calibrated to the state assessments. And so then if we're getting good results there, we're going to get good results here. And so then that will toward better results on the state assessments. So there's method to the madness here. We just have to let it work. Let it work play through. So we're right where we need to be at at this juncture. End of year one action plan has been created. Like I said, we need to tweak it just a little bit to make the years match up a little bit better. Uh but we're fully ready next year to start u meeting the six month and one year what do they call targets from target one and one year target. So any questions on that one? This kind of off subject. How often do
040they update upgrade those state assessments? Oh that that happens often. Uh you'd hope that they'd there's two things that occur. They reset the standards and then they reset the cuts course. And so they did it's kind of like this. And so u the standard should be like on a s five to sevenyear cycle but then they in between that then they say all right a 13 used to be good enough now it's a 12 or now it's a 20 and tied to psychometrics and that's that's not me. Um so there's two things that occur. Now you're learning about new stuff. And also, by the way, the goal is different. Yeah, it's a it's not static at all. It's not static at all. It's a dynamic set setup. And then the question I thought you were
041going to ask is how often does accreditation get adjusted, seemingly all the time. So we could be have different goal next year. They say no. They say no. Not not this time, but we'll say I know we've got involved in the pilot three years ago and by the end of the very first the end of the year the first year of the pilot said all right it's changing and the entire thing they talked about that entire year was fidelity to the process and the last meeting we attended was all right never mind the process is out the window so encouraging yeah you can't make this up really can't but as far as where it is now We're in a good spot and you know what? We have our head on a swivel. We've got an
042excellent team. Truly, I'm not just saying it because a couple of them are sitting here. Um and we have buyin. So, all right. Well, let's move to another favorite topic, track. All righty. The track. Um the um as we continue to work options and I'm not asking for action tonight. Do not need an action tonight. Uh if we have an action, I need it next month. Okay. Uh the concrete underneath the uh current track is crumbling. Uh we just don't know to what extent. We're doing a geo uh test with Terracon. is supposed to set to come out on the 23rd of May. We're trying to get them out sooner because that'll tell us to the extent of it. We learned that the curb is a part of the original pore. And so the latest
043thinking is if there's interest in redoing the track, it makes sense to take out all of the curb, all of the concrete, not just underneath the track itself, but the curb as well. Okay? Which then that just makes the entire thing just a little bit more um investment a little bit greater. That's all. So, um, there's three options with this. Uh, replace the track with the curbing, and the current bid I have on that right now is a range of a, $69,000. Replace the track with no curbing, which comes in a in the range of $999,000. The challenge with that is in order to do that, we'd have to surgically remove the uh curbing, I mean the uh all the concrete underneath the track itself without messing with the curbing and and that would be
044uh it's not going to happen. Be very difficult. Yeah, be very difficult. The third option is continue to patch and repair the track for another year. Just continue down that path. How the reason I didn't even type that up. I added it as I was prepping for tonight's meeting was we did not anticipate the impact of this last winter and we did not have a harsh winter. It was not a harsh winter in way of winners how they go. Uh when we came back falling coming out of winter uh the track had not fared well. It just had not. So that brought this back to the table as far as the concept of do we do this now or not. So there's three options here, you know, or two two major options. Redo the track
045or don't. And if the answer is don't, then we continue to patch, continue to patch, continue to patch. If that is the choice ultimately, u next winter will bring more issues and the prices will not go down o over time. It's just not going to happen. Uh fiscally, you know, Mike and I, we've got it figured out. Uh it it's not a minor uh investment. It's a major investment. Uh but we're sticking to the spot where it this can be taken care of. We can have it. This is just the track itself. This is not the uh jumping areas or any of that. Uh we would do some things to uh make it all match, but that's not what this quote would be all about. Now, there's one other thing that I know I've written
046to you about, but you need to know about it again. If the results come back from Teraccon that we need to shore up the uh stabilize Yeah. underneath the U track itself was put the hardware to stabilizer. That's another $94,000 is what that would that would run. We won't know until we know. So when we get the preliminary reports back in May 23rd, I'll I'll know whether the price of poker has gone up again. The Go ahead. How long does that period? 2000 think all the way back down 2008 as on top of it and then like 2012 we did I thought we did we didn't but never address the concrete concrete hasn't been touched since it's been put down 84. Okay. Yeah. And that seemingly is what the issue is at this point. Um
047has good life as far as you know the money is the money. Uh we're going to have a 6.5% roll out. Let's say we throw half million dollars into capital outlay. Uh we'll generate another 800,000 next year as new money. So we'll put 1.3 to 1.4 back in the into that uh fund. But of course there's other areas we need to spend money on in capital. I've got two different quotes sitting on my desk for WY Elementary's roof at 1.8 million and Hulk Elementary's roof at 1.8 million. Um, I'm not super duper smart with math, but that's more than the amount of money we've got sitting in the in the accounts at this point, particularly. Mike, yeah, I don't know what Mike's been doing with all this money. Did you print some? I got a
048couple questions. So, yeah, please. Do we have any bids from anybody besides Mammoth on the track? We have preliminary information from National, but then they've kind of gone away. Um, and yeah, as we've continued to work with these company, and I can't really speak to it, Curtis, I don't know why. Uh, they either want to play ball or they don't want to play ball. Um, we can dust that off and try again. I'm just that's just that's the only people we're talking to interested in Texas schools money's not an issue down there yeah I think they're the most hungry I think kind of test like course apples they're going to do yeah how many So, I mean, it's what we need to get the information. I realize it's like too because that's what's going to
049tell us whether we need a stabilizer or not. Is ter Good question. Oh yes, you do need to take him a bucket full of dirt. They will tell you like% I just wanted to get this out there in public so everybody listening or cares to know about this. Uh this is not Once again, I used this earlier metaphor earlier. It's not like picking grapes. This this is what's the capital balance right now? 2.1. So, I mean, that's by the end of the fiscal year, I think it'll be 2.1. Uh, no, we just spent uh whatever we just spent for, you know, for computers and we've got 190 going out the door for the playground over here. So, you just kind of keep doing the math on it, but there's no other major signatures the Chromebooks
050when those come forward be another 200 for that you know we still got H how many happy meals a lifetime supply of happy meals all right any more questions let's as I get more clarity that stuff. I'll continue to feed it to you. But I kind of have a hard time believing that they didn't pour the uh curving separate from the especially back in 198. Maxify his books. All right, let's move to handbooks. All right, just have a few more handbooks for approval. Uh you have them in your packets. basically boils down to dates being adjusted moving from Skyward to P school in the high school one talks about the eligibility policy changing u where bas what it says is the um find it here for you uh after four consecutive weeks of the failing
051grade students are not eligible for activities until they raise that grade above an F and that also shows up in the activities handbook u in the classified handbook we've added in unfort unbelievable we have to have this If there are so many no call no-shows, uh, and KSB said that's fine. You can do this. Three in a row, five in a semester, seven in in a school year. That constitutes a resignation. Who would ever thought you'd have to have that? But okay. Uh, we've came just for flexibility within the classified handbook. Instead of saying two snow days, we're allowing people to take them by hours. So 16 hours instead of just having two days take them as a full day. Somebody wants to break them up by four hours. All right. be flexible that way.
052And we're raising finally the meal reimbursement rate from $10 to $15. So that's nice for people who uh you know drive our buses and whatnot. So um also one other item within the activities handbook uh criminal activity. We're adding language that a student up on charges may not take part in any team activities. Uh which means practice is what that means because it was vague what we used to have in the activities handbook. So questions about the various handbook updates? If not, I recommend the board approve the updated handbooks as presented. So move been moved and seconded to approve the uh updated handbooks as presented. All those in favor say I. Opposed. All right, fees. This is just an annual action. I'm not looking to adjust make any adjustments up at all for the fees.
053Uh we split the herd on this this year. Well, last year and this year because we needed to get the uh educational educational materials fees approved in front of enrollment. That's why we brought that to you last month. Now we've got all the other ones here. Athletic fees, sports admission fees, driver's ed, library fee, library fee for It's been in place for a long time. I'm sure it's for book tape. I'm sure it's for book tape and for repairs and that kind of thing because we do I mean we still have books and we have you have to the uh what's it called? Have a book. They break and so we have to buy bind them. So we basically have to rebind them. So So every kid pays that or just if you want to
054go to the library every kid pays it. Every kid pays it. So anyway, that's that's what these fees are. The meal prices will be set later on when we know what the prices are set by KSD. I got that just for the one year. Once again, the athletic fee is 50 per kid per sport or 160 family family. So that's 160 for the year 160 for the year per se. Wish it was that cheap at Bethany. It's not I recommend board approve as presented. Ryan and Curtis been moved and second to approve the uh fees as presented. All those in favor say I. I opposed. All right. New business 25 26 school calendar. Oh, hold on. Overnight trips. Oh, that's a Okay, let's let's move to overnight trips. Uh, this came into play a couple
055years back where the board needs to approve all overnight trips, the take student organizations. U, so we have a ongoing Google doc of some sort. Uh, we only have four at this point. Other trips requests will be added throughout the year as they surface. Uh you have you probably have in there it's a document with tabs. So the latest one has girls swim, boys basketball, boys basketball, and cross country. You see how I take my glasses off to read that? See, I can't do that. So I I recommend the board approve board approval of the requested overnight trips as presented. Casey and Ryan been moved and seconded to approve the requested overnight trips as presented. All those in favor say I. Opposed. All right. 2526 school calendar adjustment. Basically, when we approve the school calendar
056for next year, the we did not know, we just kind of guessed when the big track meet would be and so we need to make an adjustment because now we know when it is. uh we need to make April 17 a regular school day and make April 24 a no school PD day because that's when the track meet will be. So if we just recommend the board approve of the presented adjustment for the 2526 school calendar and Robin will make sure we get the adjustment made and put into the calendar online and everything's official. They might be running on grass. So move Ryan Casey. It's been moved and second to approve the presented adjustments to the 2526 calendar. All those in favor say I. I. Opposed. All right.
