So pass that around. All right, we'll move on to reports. I don't think there's anything new on Smoky. Maybe there was I don't think I And there's nothing. Minutes will stand is printed. uh special ed co-op. Um not much. It was actually fast meeting. I know there's quite a bit on the back, but it was just mostly accepting positions and designations and uh and that's

004pretty much it. Okay. Uh any board of education member reports? If not, the principal reports uh were emailed out and then they're in your packet as well. If there was any questions on those, just if you're okay with it. Um Mr. Reinhardt has a presentation. He can show you a little bit more about the uh family engagement survey. Oh, okay. Perfect. So, actually, if you want to um if you want to grab my principal report, I included some numbers there just so that you could have something in front of you to look at as I was kind of showing it to start on the second page. A couple things just to point out. Um let's see. I'm looking up the This is the overall Yeah. So um we started um implementing a family engagement survey

005actually the 2017 2018 school year and it would be on yeah page two. You can see there's that larger table there with the what I went back and I was just showing you kind of a history of where our numbers have fallen. Of course we did not uh take part of it in 2020 2021 as we were not in session during the normal time that we do this. This is usually a a March project. You can imagine or if you can remember what we were doing in March of that year. But um the other thing I take note of is that it actually was in 2022. You'll see that top line, the total number of responses in 22 23 we had our highest participation with 125 responses. Last year we fell down to 60. And

006then unfortunately this year was our lowest response um we've had since we've been doing it. We fell down to 49 responses. So um you know that that's something that when I uh put the survey I engaged the survey to be active and take responses you know from that day on. I kind of just track that off and on and unfortunately I could tell we weren't getting the response kind of that we normally get which is kind of odd because I feel like both this year and last year uh in terms of advertising and and getting the word out of course we use our district Facebook page uh I created QR codes for parents to be able just to scan with their phones when they came and prepare teacher conferences so I thought maybe that'd be

007something as as maybe they're waiting they could scan the code take the survey for us you know, but um unfortunately we just didn't get the didn't get the responses, you know, that we normally do. Last year, even again, it wasn't necessarily our highest response year, but last year I did share with the staff and actually it would have been at the very beginning of this year at our back to school inservice, we as a district received uh the highest scores in all the categories that we ever have, you know. So, we that was something we were definitely pretty proud of. In fact, the the uh let's see what the five domains. Not only did we have the highest score last year within the domains, but each there's about four to five questions within each one

008of those. And not only we we we scored our highest on each question. I mean, we really last year's survey, we knocked it out of the park. You know, this year, of course, not necessarily the case. you know, we we had some scores that that went went the other way, but again, you you got to take in response, I guess, number of responses and things like that, too. So, you know, uh those are just some things that I noticed. And not to take up a lot of time, but here's the the welcoming welcoming environment. Uh the one here, the the school and staff, the principal, teachers, and counselors um are welcoming to my family. that 4.31. I believe that's that's one of our highest points we've seen on that item for quite a while, if

009not maybe ever. Um, our highest score on this one, school and staff communicate with me in my preferred language using words that are easy to understand. You know, I can't my time kind of watching this. You know, we've I don't think we've ever gotten a perfect 5.0 score, but 4.5. And I mean, those are some pretty high scores that I've seen. Supporting student learning. During conferences, teachers and I exchange valuable information with my child's strengths and challenges. Um that one there, you'll notice the 3.6 the second one. My school provides you helpful information about my support with my child's learning at home. You know that that might be one that we we might want to take take some time to have some conversation about because obviously you know you would that's one that seen it

010rank as one of the lower ones that you know Uh, I trust the school administration to make decisions that are in the best interest of all students. That's one of our highest ones. Lowest ones I have opportunities provide input into the school policies, programs, and improvement efforts. You know, I look at that one. Hopefully, that'll be one that will change maybe at least from the elementary perspective as you know, we've we've getting our PTO organization up and going and we've here within the last, you know, month or so, we've had some And so hopefully that'll kind of get some input from that. But you know, those are the type of things I think about, you know, when I'm looking at it's like, well, okay, what what do we either have going or we'll get going?

011Can we use them, Chris, to help pump push out the better engagement with the the whole survey in general using the PTO? PTO. Yeah. I mean get if it comes from the parents help push push that out so we can get more engagement from people that may be something that we utilize going forward on that. Absolutely. They can really be the kind of the ones that maybe you know especially up with that communication piece. Absolutely. I mean that's kind of why from my understanding that's kind of why it started back up. They want more more say and more involvement as to what's going on. Well this helps determine numbers for that specific reason. you know, where are we succeeding, where are we not? Well, it goes co hand in hand with that organization to help

012too. Right. So, right. Absolutely. I think yeah, this was our last one, the community involvement. What was our highest one? Uh, partnerships with businesses and community organizations. Um, and then a low, the school helps families connect needed community resources and supports. You know, I look at some of these items and I see that with some of the again the PTO, some of the other things, some of the other changes, I I would anticipate that, you know, maybe we see some different results and things like that. So, you know, I these are one of the things this family engagement survey, I mean, I it does I mean, other than just, of course, it's a I guess you could say a little bit of a snapshot, you know, of all the things we got going on. But,

013you know, we we usually talk about it in our back to schools each year, give teachers some insight as far as how we're doing, where do we where's some bit of our strengths, where some of our weaknesses, and it brings up some good conversations. Good. Thank you. Thanks for the information. All right. And we'll move on to superintendent report. Okay. Um so prom was held this weekend. Um as you most of you are aware, my husband and I had the opportunity to attend the dinner in the prominade and uh watch the crowning. Um Jaden Morris was crowned the king. Marley Dawson was crowned queen. Um, the students looked amazing. The food was delicious. It was just a really, really nice evening. Um, and I think other than the students and sponsors being a little bit

014tired today, I I think I think it went really well. Um, our summer school food service program again this year will be held during the months of June and July. So, our first day of meals for summer will be June 2nd and we're going to run through July 30th. Of course, we'll be getting some information out about that as well. Um, we will be utilizing the non- congre non- congregant status, which means that they are able to take their meals to go. Um, with the help of Chris and Kelly Hansen, I was able to finally visit with an elevator company. So, a company out of Witchaw gave me a call and uh came and looked at our elevator. um the one that we currently have is no longer available. So therefore um getting it up

015to code is going to be um probably impossible. Uh so we're looking at replacing it. So I'll start working on a spec sheet so we can put it out for bid uh in the near future. Um, in your packets, I included a copy of our current enrollment enrollment. And then you might want to pull that sheet out. Later on this evening, we're going to be discussing our open enrollment policy, including our projected enrollment and our capacity numbers. Um, but what I wanted you to see was that um, these numbers that I pulled from Mr. Reinhardt and Mr. Hans information um shows that as of right now we're projected to be up another 14 students. So um if you look at our preK compared to last year at this time we're down two because last year

016at this time we had 50. No, excuse me. Yes. When we were projecting we had 50. This year we're projecting 48. Um right now K6 we're projecting 199 and those are based on actual numbers and last year we were at 185 so we're up 14. And then in our seven and 8 um last year we were at 71. This year we're at 75. So we're up four. And then 912. Last year we were at 115 and right now we're at 113. So with two up, two down, and back and forth, it looks like we're going to be up about 14. Um, so that would that would be excellent. Okay. Uh, school specialties. So, we were able to sub well, I don't know that it's gone through yet, but we're working to submit our um furniture

017order to replace the traveling classrooms. And as you might recall, that is uh Mrs. Crob's room and Mrs. Brown's room and then some uh science chairs, stools in Mr. Hegman's room, science lab. Um when they came to visit with us um last week, um they invited us to attend their innovation center in Dallas, Texas this summer. Um they've invited us to come June 16th through the 18th, and they're going to cover all costs associated with it. Um the only the only thing they do not cover is the transportation or the means to get there. So um I've been looking at flights just so that we would have a baseline to see where we're are right now. We could fly out of Hayes for a little over 400 a piece. Um I looked up Witchaw and

018it's over 600 which I think Hayes is probably looking to get to be pretty competitive. That's what I've noticed here lately. Um, if we can stay within that range, is the board okay with us flying? It's going four. Can you tell what was it, Morgan? Okay, so school specialty, we did a really, um, we did a big order with them. You might remember earlier this year. And then we also have the two traveling classrooms, right? And so, um, we had them come back. We are finalizing the order for the two traveling classrooms. And then Mr. Han and his staff are putting together um sort of like to wrap up the high school um pieces of furniture, what it would mean so that we would have the high school done before we came over here and

019started looking at furniture. And so in our conversation um they invited us to visit their innovation center in Dallas, Texas. And the dates would be June 16th through the 18th. They'll pay for accommodations, food, um travel within the city, any type of anything that that we do while we're there. The what we need to cover is just getting there. I don't have any who's going. So, um it would it'll be um Mr. Reinhardt, myself, Mrs. probe. And as of right now, I'm not sure if um it doesn't look like Mrs. Brown's going to be able to go. And so if she doesn't go, he invited Mr. Dre. Dre doesn't say. I was going to say that I think that's on their end if you understand what I'm saying. Like you know, for this for the

020school shopping piece of that, the connection. Yeah, it's your call. Why would Trees be going if I school specialty invited him? Yeah. I don't I don't think he's not part of be part of district. I don't think he should be That's just my opinion. I'm with you. I want a cardinal representing cardinal. Okay. Okay. Um the rook. So, as I mentioned earlier, our dresser was finally here um and determined that the it was significant hail damage. So, we are in the process of uh putting together a spec sheet. I guess my question is do we want to move forward with the fine arts area? So, that I I guess that's where I'm coming from. If we could get something moving on the fine arts area, take bids on the fine arts area, then maybe we

021could do a comprehensive look at at all of them. That's the one where we're having the leaks. And I think we need to move quicker than Yeah. later on. I think we just Yeah, I think we just need to move forward with it because I mean it's a problem like I mean that's it has been a problem and is a problem currently leaking water. Now, we've been waiting for the adjuster and now we finally got that done. Right. You might remember we had the we had the one bid several months ago and then we the next month we we brought in another bid. Then we thought it was going to be covered by uh insurance. It's not. But he didn't get here for several months due to snow and weather and Right. So yeah, I

022think I just think we need to move forward with that particular part of it. Uh the rest of it I think is a bigger conversation. Uh that's yeah on facilities as a whole and those kinds of things. So I think yeah I think we just need to Okay. All right. We'll start working on that. Get get it out for I'm going to put it out for bid just for the the fine arts week. That first roof one I think is what we've been referring to it as. Right. Okay. RCH Nest, we're making good progress out there. Um RCH met with the fire marshall and the building has met all the requirements in that regard. So now I have the two directors. They're working on the license part of that. Um and then we're going to

023be setting up the facility and getting it ready for children. So, I don't want to make any public announcement as far as because all it is is just speculation, but if I had to guess, it'll be sometime next month. So, that's what I'm saying. Like, don't hold me to it because we've been working on this project for a long time, but um I think we're probably looking at sometime next month. Uh the president of Colby Community College was here last week, uh to meet with me. he has some innovative ideas of how to work with local high schools. And so while I think we already have a great relationship with him or excuse me with them, I think there's other additional ways that we can partner. So um I'm going to sit down with Mr.

024Han and Mr. Reinhardt and we'll we'll talk about some of those because he's he's willing to make some things happen for our kids including um some free tuition for a variety of different uh ways of qualifying. So yeah, I was pretty excited about that. Um, think before you post. That was a presentation that we had several years ago in our junior high and high school and um, it it was very wellreceived by uh, students and staff and so the staff asked if we could have that again. Um, and so they are going to be coming uh, April 30th to give that presentation. And it's just a a it's a good means of communication um to our students to help them remember to think about things before they go and put put things on social media.

025Um they hear it from us, they hear it from moms and dads, but having someone else come and say, "Remember that's out there forever is is usually pretty helpful." So um they'll be here later this month. Our KISSA sixmonth check-in is this Thursday, April 17th. Um, so during this time with our KSD representative, we'll be looking at our goals and discussing our progress and then we'll also be discussing anticipated next steps in our action plan. Um, we I was able to u Mr. Irby was able to get a hold of the busing company and they will have a bus here at our next meeting on May 12th. So, I'll try to put that in a reminder in May. Um, I'll have them park it right out front so we can't miss it. Um, but we'll

026be able I'm going to have them here at 6:30 so we'll be able to crawl on it, take a look at it. Um, just so you can kind of see as we're starting to take a look at some other options. Um, and then the last thing I want to share with you and he's going to present too on financing options. Yes. So he'll present at the meeting too on different options, purchase, lease, those kind of things. Yes. Sorry. No. And and kind of explain some of the stuff that we talked to him about when we were at the in Witchto. Uh you know, the resale value of the of the buses and those kinds of questions. So he's going to do a presentation on that stuff as well. Yes. So yes, absolutely. Should be informative.

027I guess what I was trying to get across is that you there won't be any decisions to make or anything like that. just good for you to see it and and bring up um conversations about what you'd like to see on it or how you want to move forward. And then the last thing I have just to share with you is that earlier this month we received notification from the Kansas Board of Regents that we're receiving recognition as an allstar high school. 217 high schools will be recognized at the next Kansas Board of Regents meeting on May 14th. and they're going to send us a link later in the month so we could live stream it. Um to share with you just a little note that I sent out to our staff just right before

028this meeting. Um the program started in 2022. It extends to apply to the all excuse me it extends to the apply Kansas mission to enhance college access by guiding students through that process of postsecary. So wanted you guys to know that. Thank you. Of course. Okay. Pretty cool a lot of information. A lot of information. Any other questions? If not, I'd look for a motion to approve the board or the reports. I make the motion. AZ second. All second. Thanks, Scott. All those in favor say I. I. I. I. Opposed. Motion carries. Uh, number nine, we are going to table for another month. So, we will move on to number 10. Discussion and approval of the KSB renewal. Uh, of course, we received their invoice and their fees are going up like everybody else's. I

029put a copy in their packet. Yeah. So, you should have a copy of the the new invoice. The first one is uh the membership renewal, which is what we normally do. Mhm. And then so not the season pass in this I don't we tried it that one time and it really didn't pan out. So because with the season pass you don't have to pay per entry for some of the trainings and stuff but uh we tried it that one year and it just it wasn't that good of a we didn't find it effective. Yeah. We we didn't take advantage of we didn't take advantage of enough to make it worthwhile. So so I would recommend just the renewal and then the second invoice is for the legal uh assistance contract. I move we continue our

030membership and membership and legal assistance. I second Z. All those in favor say I. I oppose. Motion carries unanimously. All right, we will move on to discussion and approval of schools for fair funding. And this was just an invoice, so I didn't make a copy of it. Um, you want me to talk a little bit about school? Yeah, I'll let you do. Okay. So, um, it's it's been a group that has been together for a long time. Um, we've been a part of it for, um, since I've been here. I think it's onethird of the um student population in Kansas. So when they put all the population of students in Kansas, one over onethird of those member schools are part of it. Um we're one of the smaller ones. Um but there's probably oh a

031dozen that are around our size or or smaller that are part of this. Um they host two typically two meetings a year. Um this is kind of gives us the insight on what's happening um with some of the legislative conversations. Um we have we work with a um a attorney consultants who attend both of the meetings. Um we have a lobbyist who is at Topeka paying attention to everything and sending us uh updates. It's it's not very much money when you look at what we receive from that. Um the $544 is is what our cost of that is. Um you might remember years ago hearing about the Ganon case. It stemmed from schools for fair funding. Years before that was the Montoy case. Um this is a driving force behind that. Um they they put

032together incredible data to show trend lines on whether or not we've we've kept up with inflation or we haven't. Here lately, it's looking much better because of the CPI index. Um, however, it it also shows that we were so far behind for so many years that the base state a pupil isn't isn't where it still needs to be. And with things that are happening the way they are now, um I would make this recommendation even stronger than I have before. Just we need to we need to be involved. We need to keep fighting for our for our schools. So I'll make that motion to continue with schools for fair funding. Thanks, Marlene. Second. I'll second. Oh, we'll let Lori have that one. All right. All those in favor say I. I. I. Opposed. Motion carries.

033All right. We'll move on to number 12. The approval of the 2526 district calendar. I don't think there's no changes. I didn't change anything. Nope. I met with the the one we saw last committee. And yeah, this one's the same. Make a motion to approve it. Okay, thanks Scott. Second AZ. All those in favor say I. Io opposed. Motion carries. We will move on to number 13. Approval of memorandum of understanding with RCH for the child care. Did that go out in your packets or is this the first receipt? I think this is the first time. Okay. Either that or I'll have to apologize. Oh, no. It's okay. No, I think it is the first time. Okay. Um so um the the first part um of the memorandum of understanding um just talks about the

034collaborative partnership between the district and the hospital. Um on under the scope of services it identifies what the district's providing in regard to services and then of course what the hospital's providing. Um we are going to take care of um of course taking care of the children and providing their activities and their snacks and and daily custodial services. Um the the hospital is taking care of the facility. Um which means any any upkeep, any replacement um all operational um things um are are the responsibility of the hospital. Um under rules and responsibility, it talks about that we are going to be recruiting and hiring um staff. will be providing the curriculum and the materials and the supplies. Of course, we're the ones that will take care of the licensing. Um the comprehensive liability is just

035what we do for all the rest of our staff. It's nothing that's in addition to and then of course we'll collect and manage all of the tuition fees. And then the hospital is responsible for providing the food service prep for the lunch meal. So, we'll be getting that from uh the hospital similar to what we do here. Um where we we receive our meals at our daycare through our kitchen staff here. Um but we pay for it through a different program. It'll be the same thing out there. We'll be getting it through their kitchen. Um what I think will probably be of most interest is if you turn to page two, we can kind of talk about the financial agreement. So, you're welcome to look over all of that, but I'm going to kind of

036summarize it. What I had shared with the hospital and have been sharing for the couple of years that we've been working on this project is that um our district, sorry, our district um is going to hire the employees Um however we need to make sure that the um revenue coming in from the tuition which is um the charges for the services cover the expenses of the employees. So payroll verse revenue. U we got into quite the conversation about um food and snacks and all of that. Um and At the end of the day um what I had shared with them was that our district cannot take a deficit on a daycare on an additional daycare. So that the risk financial risk has to be assumed by the hospital. So we should be able to break

037even if you will um by payroll verse revenue. That shouldn't be a that shouldn't be a concern. Um the next goal would to be that revenue would take care of payroll and food supplies which most likely it will it should there shouldn't be any concern. Then the next thing would be looking at operational expenses. So, um what this says is that um if there is a deficit at the end of the year that the hospital will um reimburse us and if there is a positive balance after we look at all of the um tiers of expenses, meaning payroll, food, operational expenses, and then finally capital improvements. Um, but if there is, you know, if we're if our revenue is exceeding all of our expenses, then we sit back down at the table, we have a

038conversation, which would most likely be Mr. Reinhardt and their CEO or whomever they want to have as a representative, and discuss whether or not that revenue is significant enough where we are reimbursing them or they're rolling it over uh to cover additional expenses in the following year. So hopefully what this states hopefully you're you're reading what it was that we were working to accomplish. This went through probably three or four draft revisions and then um uh and then at the table we we all felt like um we got it to say what we wanted it to say. um the district will provide those financials to show each of those levels of um expenses if you will and and I have that set up um to do so right now. I'll just transfer that to Mr.

039Reinhardt and then he can either utilize that or he can you know make it his own. But um with the main the main goal um being that we can we can break even and um you know hopefully carry over a little bit reserve so that um the money covers any additional expenses that we might have. I just really don't understand this what part of it or I guess I don't know. I think just the whole child care thing at the hospital and how I just don't I don't I guess understand why we were because together in it because with because the whole because the whole project's been a collaboration from the beginning because without their funding we couldn't have started the project because they supplied the upfront capital to do to do what we did

040here on our campus. And so it's been a and basically like all of the grant funding we've received, everything has been based upon the the fact that we're working together to do this for the community. Like the collaboration, those are the things that were in the grants that, you know, got us the money as opposed to somebody else was those collaborative efforts. And so basically to me it is we've been working with them you know on this project from the beginning for like almost four years now. So uh and we're not in it to make money but we can't afford to lose any money. So that's where if if the expenses outweigh the income then they have to make up the difference. But we're also not in it to to make money you know on

041their facility. So if we can if there are you know extra funds at the end of the day uh we can discuss whether we want to hold those over or if we want to give them back to the hospital you know how that's handled but basically it's just a the whole thing has been a collaborative effort between the school district and the and the hospital. Uh like we wouldn't have received the first home if it hadn't been for the cash that they put into the project to get it started. So would be and then the other idea was that for the scope of the project was uh you know originally we were looking at doing one facility that would you know could have like 50 or 60 kids say or more but that was going

042to cost millions of dollars to build that facility and require a bond issue. So that's when we started working with some of the local daycare providers and the hospital uh and came up with the idea of doing these multiple locations. Originally there was only we the original plan was one here, one at the hospital and then hopefully one downtown was the original plan. But then when we got that second building for the preschool and then outgrew it, we had the building to use. So that's why we did, you know, the expansion there first and the funds for the um outdoor play area, right? Not having to duplicate, right? And not having to duplicate the because the play equipment's expensive and so just having two sets of play equipment was enough expense. Uh but really, it's

043just been, like I say, a collaborative effort between us and the hospital because we're the two biggest employers in the in the county. uh and you know trying to give back to the community and to the taxpayers and so that's kind of how it all came about if that makes I don't know if that answers your question or I mean yeah yes and no it yeah was part of it too like if like for for that grant application we were able able to apply for that. But like if the hospital wanted to their status was not the same as ours. Am I right or is that incorrect? No. So they would not have been able to apply for any sort of grant to put a childare facility on their property. It also it also getting

044way in the weeds, but it also affects their revenue from Medicare and Medicaid. if they had if they operated that daycare facility, then it would get rolled up into the square footage of the hospital and then it would affect their reimbursement rates and things like that. And I don't understand all that, but I just know that it would, right, if they were running it. So that's also part of the reason why we we decided we would be the entity because we were going to have the first location on our campus. we would be the ones that would, you know, take over that that part of it. So, uh, and that was part of the reason why we took it over as opposed to them as far as the hiring the director and that kind of

045stuff. And that was the other idea was this way. The one of the ideas was like if you had a big center, you would have one director and so or you know a director and an assistant or whatever. But, uh, that was kind of the the idea behind having multiple locations was having one one or two people that managed everything and then, you know, have employees throughout. So, I don't know. Anyway, that's how it came about. That's how it started. That's all. Yeah. And the purpose of thisou is to um solidify the agreement that the financial responsibility falls upon the hospital. However, in working with us, we're we're hoping that we can um leverage the the tuition to meet the payroll, meet food expenses, and all of that. Um so that's the purpose of this

046because the the financial obligation that we have as a district is to those three uh those three daycarees where the the hospital is assuming the financial risk of their one. So this this kind of um is a safeguard for both of us as far as who's responsible for what. Looks to me like everything was covered. Um, just kind of quickly glancing through this. Um, I don't seem to have any issues or concerns with it, the way it's presented in the paper. I know it's kind of outside of school law, but would kick over it or would that be more I don't know. I mean, I could ask and and they might say, "Well, yeah, that's not really our I haven't asked them to do that, but yeah, I wasn't sure. I I can't if that's

047what they like me to do. I don't think anyone's out to hurt each other on this deal. I think as long as we have a true true understanding as to what what each role has and dictated by this, then at the end of the day, I I don't see why it needs to be that huge of a deal. And the major purpose is just to get it in writing. you know, it's pretty pretty straightforward, but to get it in writing because if their board, you know, they're going to have board elections in a month and if they have change in me, you know, board members, then they understand this is where we were all coming from back when this agreement was signed as well as, you know, we have elections coming up uh as well

048and so we'll have change over on this board and we have a new superintendent coming in. It's just so there's a continuity and a flow that everybody understands and a year from now when there's new people at the table there it's not like what was the plan like this is the plan for how everything's going to be handled. So I make a motion to approve it as written. I second. Thanks. All those in favor say I. I. I. I'm just going to abstain just because I don't understand it very well. All right. Motion carries. All right. Moving on to number 14. Safe routes to school contract. So, this one is this is our pre-engineering. Yep. This one. Okay. This is for the Yeah. Okay. I sent this in an email earlier today. Yes. That I

049thought that's what we were talking about. Yes. Yeah. It's this large document. It's the large document. Yeah. Okay. I gave you the copies to sign that are included within the the larger um so this one is our um our safe house to school contract. Um it is it states that um what the what the plan is in this next step of our phase of of working with K DOT. Um it outlines exactly um who the responsible parties are and for what piece. Um BG was awarded the contract. I think that was at our last meeting. And so um now this this outlines the agreement that we have with with them, what they're responsible of doing. Um everything from this point forward will be um reviewed by BG and will be a part of the K

050DOT. So this is our we're we're signing an agreement to work collaborative collaboratively with them in acceptance of those funds because they are our pre-engineering firm. So they'll they will make sure that what they present um will will meet code and then it'll be a process where it'll come in to the board. You'll review it. you'll be able to ask questions of the of the engineering firm to make sure that um it's exactly what you want, that everything is um covered under code um so that it it falls all under all the guidelines, but you will still have a lot of input into all of that as well. We can't move forward without this contract. Well, I guess again I'll make a motion to approve move forward with contract. Sign the contract. And once again,

051I'll go ahead and second. All right. All those in favor say I. I. I. Opposed. Motion carries. We'll get all that paperwork turned in and Yes. All right. Yep. Next, we'll move on to approval of a donation uh from NextTech for the uh the touchdowns for last year. So, it's a donation from Next Tech for $150. We'd like to thank them for their continued support of the district uh with this program. Uh look for a motion to approve that donation. I'll make the motion. AZ second. Thanks, Cassie. All those in favor say I. I. I. Opposed. Motion carries. All right. Number 16. Discussion. Uh, a vehicle per purchase. Okay. I'm going to hand this out. And then I have one for you. Just put those in there. Let me make sure I have my own.

052Okay. There. One for you and one for them. Okay. So, um Oops. Sorry. Are we short one? Oh, no. I got you. Oh, there you go. Sorry about that. Okay. So, um Keith Dryley, who is the um KSD director of transportation, reached out to us to let us know that um there [Music] were nine passenger Chevy Suburbans available. Um and that they have eight he has eight a dealership reached out to him and said that they have eight total available. So um this however is not on a state contract. So therefore we would still need to put out an RFP or uh accept bids for this. And so I wanted to share this with you. Um, and I did put it as an action item. If you are interested in moving forward, if you want

053to take more time, that's okay. Um, I And the reason I put it as an action item because what we would have to do is we would have to put it out for bid. Um, accept um accept bids and then we could if if if we want to do the authority tonight to make a purchase up to a given dollar amount, we can do that. Um if you don't want to, we can take our time. I just These are not usually on the lot. Um it's kind of like we got when we received our um What year was it? Is that 2019? We got the last white one. Does that sound right? Anyway, that was through a a cancellation because we had a a not yet. We had a um Just Stop rushing me. We

054had a um a district nearby that canceled. And so this is just uh this is what I have here for um number 16 when it comes to a Chevy Suburban. Now, before we vote or make a decision on this, I want you to take a look at some other information that I that I found or that Mr. Irby and I have been working on. But first, let's take a look at this what I handed you. The first page, you can see it's circled and it's a it's a two-wheel drive. So, the first page is a 2025 Chevy Suburban, but it's two-w wheelel drive. And then, um, the second page is for a 2025 Chevy Suburban four-wheel drive. So, um, you can see as an estimate that that increases the price by about $2600. Um, so

055I want I want you to think about that and then I definitely want you to give me some guidance on on where we are with this before we move on to the to our next uh topic. But in doing so, um, Chris, sorry, now you can stand up. Do you have miles on any of these? I know they're like really They're brand new. Not These are brand new. Yeah, these are on a brand new car lot. Yeah. I'm guessing somebody had a lease that they canled or something and so he has eight of them. Yeah. And so they were reaching out just to say they're available. Yeah. But but the email went out to all superintendents in Kansas. So Okay. So, this is then um a little bit of research that um Mr. Herby did

056for me. And so, before you make a decision on a Suburban, I want to share with you some other things that we've been talking about when it comes to the vehicle fleet. So, um sorry, I made you close it now. How I switch to guest, but now it's okay. While he's doing that, what I have in front of you is an email that we received. Um, and it includes one, two, three, four, five, uh, six different um, buses. So, um, the first one that you're going to look at when they get that brought up is going to be a used uh, 14 passenger. So, you might remember Mr. Herby. Um, Mr. Can just a couple minutes. Okay. You might remember Mr. Herby. Okay. this one right here. And Chris, I don't really want to play.

057No, I don't want to play it. I just want them to see the picture. Be like the Axis bus. Yes. So, this is a 14 passenger. This is the one that doesn't require a CDL. Um, what I want you to make sure you understand though is if it's white, it cannot be used on a route. Okay? So, if it's if it's white, we can use it on activities and it and you just have to have a regular driver's license. Um, and so the first one that um that we're trying to bring up. Um, I never understand why it does that is an old one. I It's been doing it to me a lot lately. What if you download instead of Well, they're not pictures. They're all videos. So, Right. Yeah. Yeah. I just don't want

058to listen to all the videos. I I don't want to listen. I can read that for you. No, just I just want him to see the picture of it. That's it. But yeah, that's good information. I didn't realize if it was white. Never thought I never thought about it. Did you push play? Yeah. Don't push play. But even if I Does it show the inside of it then? It's going to go off there in a second. Oh, it is. Okay. Oh, I'm sorry. Why am I trying to tell my techie guy how to run something? I'm sorry, Chris. Okay. So, if you look really fast, he'll bring it up. But what I want you to see is that so the first one in the little picture, that is the used one. Um, and it has

059around 20,000 miles. Okay. And then the second one is a 2023. It's a used one. Um, and you can see it goes up significantly in price because it's 10 years newer. Okay. Then we have um I think those those next two the 2024s and then the 2025 I think those are um those are all new and you can see that they go up significantly in price. But that's what we talked about is you wanted me to get you some pricing so we could kind of see and make um decisions about the direction that we wanted to go. And then um the last not the very last one, Mr. Reinhardt, but the second to last, the uh Ford Collins, it's the yellow one. Can you can you show them the yellow one maybe? Okay. Yeah. Uh

060yeah. So that is a 14 passenger um school bus also that can go out on activities and but you can use it on routes also. So like right now um we have a suburban route. So on a suburban route we don't have any children who are under the age of eight or or 80 pounds. Eight or 80 pounds is they have to be in a car seat or a booster seat or something. And as a district, we decided, I mean, this was years ago, that we were not going to do the car seat thing because car seats expire and all of that. So, um, we don't So, our third graders and younger always go on a bus. They're not transported in a in a school vehicle. Um, so in order for us to run that

061suburban route that we do every day, we don't have any kids under that on the route. This opens up the idea that you could have um all children on a yellow bus on a school route, if that makes sense. It is a little bit more. You can see um what is that? $3,000. So, your 2025 yellow is $3,000 more than your 2024 white. But does it change who can who has who drives it or anything? All of these each of these that I'm showing you takes a regular driver's license. So, 14 passenger takes a regular driver's license. So, I wanted we talked about it. you wanted to know how much they would cost and so Mr. V did some research for me and then the last one is the um it's the fancy one I'm

062showing you that where we had our young men come and present and then um and and when that's right when Mr. Arby came he was telling you that our white one has cost us a lot of money or our white activity bus um and I think it's a 2019 we still call it the new bus because it's the newest but Mr. join her. Can you pull up that one and can you show the video? It's about a little three minute video. It's a different email. Uh, no. It's on the same one. Yep. It's the fancy bus. Oh, uh, try your fourth one. The link is right. Yeah, there you go. Your bottom link. Yeah. Yeah, that one. Let's see what happens there. Maybe it'll like that better. Because Cassie, this will take you inside. Hey

063folks, this is Michael with National Bus. As always, our phone number is 18004751439 and our website is www.nbbus.com. Now, you've heard me mention our Ultra Coach Lighters a lot in the past, but today I actually have one here for you to check out. This is our Ultra Coach Lighter DXL, our top unit, and it's only available through us here at Nashville Bus, and we can barely keep them on the ground long enough to even be able to make a video about it. It's on Freight Lighter chassis. It has a 54 passenger capacity. Has the 9 L Cumins diesel engine coupled to a 3000 series Allison transmission. has a 100-gallon fuel tank, four-wheel anti-lock air disc brakes, standard rear air ride suspension, and an adjustable front air ride suspension. It has a ton of storage space

064underneath running almost the full length of the bus. It's got full tents all around, good-looking chrome wheels, and it is just a great looking bus all around from the outside. Moving inside, you have the power extending step with huge entry door that leads to a beautiful cabin with a high back reclining diamond stitch seating with armrest on both sides of each seat. All the seats are set in adjustable tracks, so we can provide you with a flexible seating arrangement depending on your needs. It has the Duro Guard subfloor, so no need to worry about mold or mildew. We've added full sound abatement insulation throughout the entire length of the bus. Three-point self- retracting seat belts are installed. You have multiple entertainment screens able to play everything from DVDs to displaying the bus's front camera or

065anything else that can be run through an HDMI or USB cable along with full airplane style overhead reading lights, speakers, and personal adjustable AC vents as well as a dual PA, one for the driver and one for the passenger compartment, and fully adjustable overhead ceiling lights with various colors and display options. Up front on the drivers here, you have the same diamond stitch seating with armrest installed on both sides. All set on an airride seat for comfort. You've got power mirrors, power locks, power doors, and even a powered rolled out window for the driver, which I never see. It of course also comes with a backup camera, cruise control, two 12vt power outlets for the driver, and everything is well laid out, clean, and intuitive in its use and location. Now, we're very proud of

066these buses, and we can barely keep them on the ground before they're gone again. And when they're compared with the buses that it competes with that are considerably more expensive, have parts that can often have to come from Europe. Ours is on a Freightlininer chassis, so it can go to any Freightlininer service center. It has a come diesel engine that's widely known, widely used, and with parts that are vastly more accessible and easy to get. Really, with all the benefits of the Ultra Coach DXL, as well as it being less expensive to purchase, it's hard to see why you choose anything else. We can also offer full customization of the vehicle as always with everything from adding things like Wi-Fi, more screens, restroom or no restroom, interior camera system. Seriously, almost whatever you're needing, we

067have a full staff on hand, and the ability to get it done in house before you take delivery of professional-grade paint, body service, and wrap shops. So, if you have any questions at all about our Ultra Coach Sliders, please do reach out to us at 18004751439 or on our website at www.nbbus.com. This DXL is our biggest and brightest model of Ultra Coach Lighter, but we offer other builds as well. And we'd love the opportunity to talk to you about your options here with us, no matter what your specific needs are. So, thank you as always for watching and we'll see you again soon. That's like the one we want. Mhm. Those were nice. Death one. What you guys? That's kind of like what we saw. Yeah. Okay. So, hopefully this gives you a lot of

068information and some price points to think about as far as moving forward. They take tradeins. Yes. Yes. I did check. Be able to check trade that white one in. Yep. Okay. Yeah. So, so, so to follow up with with that comment, Scott, what what we could do is since um we'll have someone out here, we can have that our bus ready and that way they can look at it. They can drive it while they're here. They can so that when we're discussing things, we As long as it's not As long as it's here. Maybe they can drive it. Stop. Try to watch what I say. I'm on camera so they get back and watch. We're just kidding. Do research more reach. But anyway, no, very good question because and yes, we did check on that.

069So, like I said, a lot of information here, but I wanted you to kind of see the price points of what some of these things would cost you before we made a decision on anything. If if we want to move forward on a suburban, um I I think we're you're going to have to make a motion tonight if you want me to move forward on one of these and knowing that, you know, just give me the authority to not to exceed whatever and then I'll put out an RFP, um a request for proposals, and then, you know, when I receive those, I can, you know, work we can get the deadlines on all of that rather than waiting waiting till May 12th. there's a chance we may not might not get one of these anyway,

070but that's completely up to you. I just wanted to to give you that option if um and then again all the information on how much buses are going to cost us so you would you would uh have some price points to know what you wanted to do. Well, I like the idea of the trade and possibility as far as suburban goes. I know we discussed with Dr. uh discuss with Mr. Irby that he would recommend getting something like the yellow bus and the Suburban because some of those are really getting up there in miles. Okay. Now, I want to make sure when I answered Scott with a a trade in, I was talking about our big white bus. Right. Right. Okay. Okay. I was going to say I don't think we'll get much out of

071the trade for um and then um and then as far as the the um I think we were going to do anything going with the four-wheel drive makes more sense than going with the two two wheel drive. Mhm. Just to give our drivers the uh um confidence driving in some risky weather that we get around here quite often. Mhm. But the those are more limiting though, aren't they? Right. The Suburbans because a Suburban you can see nines, but um your capacity is really eight. So our Suburbans I Okay, I see where you're going. So, um, our Suburbans and Van and Traverse and the car, those are typically used for staff or, um, high school events, um, track, cheer, football always takes one. I mean, and so, um, the vehicles are typically used more for for

072staff and then high school where our our activity bus can be used or excuse me, our the white smaller buses or yellow smaller bus, the 14 passenger could be used for a route or a high school activity. Is that what you're getting at? It just sounds like I mean cuz even the as far as like staff they I mean not that anybody wants to drive around a little bus but you can also use that for that too, right? You can use these little buses, especially the yellow ones for anything because it's just a regular driver's license. And then I if I I I'm almost sure you have to have CPR. I think that's what Mr. Irby told us if I remember correctly that you have to be CPR certified for the 14 for the 14

073passenger. But So we're going to need a Suburban and a bus though. Yes. Is that where we're at? Yeah. I wouldn't just replace your Suburbans with a ne with a bus. No. No. 100%. But I'm saying and I guess I missed the M or when M or when Mr. Irby was here. So, um I'm just I'm trying to gather what is it? Yeah, we kind of talked about you know like should we have two uh you know instead of having two activity bus activity buses per se, you know, like the newer buses like Philipsburg bought two of those new activity buses like we just saw. Yeah. Well, instead of doing something like that, maybe we do a new activities bus to replace the white bus. And then maybe we look at like the 14 passenger

074vans for like, you know, so maybe wrestling for wrestling, they could take one vehicle instead of taking two Suburbans. Yeah. And so that's and that's where I'm going. So a Suburban, a 14 passenger, and trade that other one off eventually. Event that would be the goal. Yeah. Yep. Why you got to keep adding words to my sentence? Not eventually. That one needs to be done. Yes. No, I meant eventually all three would would be Thanks, Chris. my goal. Would be my goal personally, but Well, mine, too. And I think the Suburbans, I mean, they just get used. I mean, we use them. You're You're preaching to the car. Yeah. No, I'm all like I said the that price that they've got listed on here just on a quick just a quick Google search was right

075in the line as to what they are right now for 2025. It's right in the same ballpark. So, but it's not they're not not getting a discount, but you're not getting raked either. So, um I don't see when I don't have a problem, but I I'm with AZ. I definitely do the four-wheel drive one if we're going to It's not that much for the money. I think it's more. Yeah. Like I said, even on it starts snowing or sleeping or whatever, you can always, you know, for a high you feel a lot more. We have had a Suburban stuck in the parking lot in Minneapolis before. Yeah. So, so no, I like I said, I don't have a problem moving forward with that to see if there's an opportunity to add it. I mean, like

076I said though, at the end of the day, I mean, if we go to even if we don't get one, if we have to state bid for one or whatever, surely the price is going to be, you know, in that same price range. But if there's one available, then why not take a shot at it? And there um there have not been Suburbans on a state contract for quite some time, okay? because they're so hard to come by. Yeah. Um and so I think that's why Mr. Drying, Keith Drying, put this out is to just say, "Hey, I know you're looking for one. It's not a state contract, but Yeah. Yeah. Give it a shot. I say give it a shot. I make a motion to let you go forward with that. I'd second that.

077Thanks, Cassie. And do you want And do you want to put a I'm not not to exceed I would 65. Yeah, that's just Yeah. Does that work? I mean, it works for me. Mhm. Yes. Yes. I was asking I was asking the ones that made I was asking the ones that made the motion and second. They were okay. That's perfect. 65. All right. So, it's been moved and seconded. All those in favor say I. I. I. opposed. Motion carries unanimously. So, we'll get the ball rolling on that one. Okay. Thank you guys for your hard work on all those. Yeah, I guess you weren't here that day. We just had him kind of come in and he talked about different options, what's available, and the advantage to the 14s, the big one was the driver's

078license and CPR and not you don't have to have a bus driver. Yeah. So the coaches could drive it and Harrison said that that's what never really thought about it but TMP when he coached there he would drive those buses. So just adds more flexibility to what Kirby has to work with. Yeah. So okay. So So I'm So would you like me to put out a request for bids for the 14 passengers also? It ain't going to hurt. Okay. And then and then hold off on the the the big buses until you've had a chance to find out more information. Let's let's let them come next month. You can take a look at an actual bus and all of that. Okay. And look at the what all options there are for Yes. financing and that

079kind of stuff. Okay. Thank you. I have a question. Yes. Is there a a bus route for Kodell area? Yes, currently. Yes. Okay. I thought there was and I I was just thinking for the 14 passenger because there is a lot of babies out there. You're right. No, that's a good idea. Are going to be coming to school. Yeah, absolutely. That makes a lot of sense. So, on the excuse me, on the 14 passenger, do you want want me to bid white and yellow or just one or the other? I think if we could get a yellow, that would be ideal, wouldn't it? Because my recommendation would be yellow. You can do more versatile. You have the option to use it for a route, too, I think. Okay. Okay. All right. Let's see what we

080can come up with. Okay. All right. Number 17, we will move on to discussion of track updates. I've got nothing accomplished. Okay. Um well, I think everything you've already got everything that I reprinted out, so Oh, you're good. Just awesome. If you want to see a bigger picture, I got bigger pictures, too. So, we got a deal up here. So, the power the Google what was it? Slideshow. What? There you go. Slideshow. Um, uh, I had said had Jen work with that. Uh, get some put together, but basically it's going to be everything that's going to come off of um the sheet that you've got in front of you. So, some things that we've done. You can just however I don't even know what I'm doing. Chris, push the button. Push down. It's down. Yep.

081Okay, there we go. So, on the if you want to have your map kind of handy, like that picture there kind of handy, I'll try to walk you through. Um, basically, DISCUS is staying exactly where it's currently located over at the practice field. Uh, meeting with the coaches and different things like that. Uh, going through what United and Mammoth presented. It's just not feasible, nor is it really worth all the effort to try to reutilize all that ground on the east side of the football field. It was going to be a cluster. It's just not going to work. Um, at the end of the day, where we have it currently set um is perfect. We'd like to they would like to um update the pads a little bit, make them a little bit bigger. The

082current pads are like uh I'm going to lie, I think they were 12 x 12, something in that ballpark. So, some of the drills and different things they do when they're starting, they've got a foot in the grass and on the ring. So, they'd like to go have 15 by 15 would which make the pad bigger and then also um instead of just having the painted circle on that, you're going to it's going to be a theme in the shop put too, but it would be a sunken ring. So the the seam you'd have a lip all the way around the circle. Um you're you're seeing that more and more across the nation as far as elite throwers and stuff like that. It's just you don't have to worry about, you know, you can see

083it. Your feet are in, you step out somewhere, you're going to see that a lot better. But it's also, you know, it's it's just the way that the throws are going, you know. So, if we're going to do it, let's do it the right way and and do it that way. So, the sunken rings was deal. Now, the polls, let me back up. Everything that I'm going to present right now, we're going to have to rebid. Okay? We're going to have to get rebids done on a lot of this thing. So, I want to see what their pricing comes in on as far as this netting. We need to do something as far as uh protection around those rings. There's a lot of seven pull systems out there uh with uh pulley, so they're nets.

084Pull them up, you hang them, you know, you leave them up this spring or you got storms, whatever. They're easy to take down and be able to store them um store them through the winter so they're not up all year round and just we're going spending money that we don't need to spend. So, I priced them. I just looked at Amazon and some different places like that just to kind of get a quick quick idea cuz everything that was bidded to us for the most part everything was all put together. Nothing was broke out. So I don't know what what their quote is if they're super high whatever. Um you're looking, you know, somewhere in that probably four to 6,000 range for the net for that protection. But it's all going to vary. It just

085kind of depends on what we want to do uh for mowing and different things like that. It may be such a thing that we plant them and the poles can come out in the winter time, you know, just they go in during the during the year that we're using them and then we can take them out, you know, cement them in and see them at the base end and go from there. Um so moving on to the next deal. Oh yeah, I got to push a button. Um, Javelin, if you look at the sheet or at the PowerPoint, I'm just kind of pointing it out here. So, this is the street that runs the football field and everything's back over here. This is uh the Becker's house that sits right there by the practice field.

086So, basically what they're wanting to do, and it'll fit, is we'll just have one runway for Javelin. We can't fit two because it's not just not going to be feasible to do it. So, it's one of those deals. It's like uh I don't know what do I have it on there? 100. Yeah. 14 foot by 100 uh cement runway. And of course, that's going to have to be same stuff that's applied to the track, you know, so you have to have spikes and everything, but it fits perfect back in there. We we were in the rules book. One place reads 100 foot, one place reads 115T. Hill City, I believe, is at 100 foot. Several other areas are within a 100 foot runway. So it would go diagonal out to there. My biggest concern when

087we were talking about it is making sure for safety during track meets and stuff. And those sector lines are way don't take a don't put a lot of stock into those. It's just the way we the program, you know, we drew them up. So they won't come near out as far as a lot of that. But you'll still be able to have you'll have this runway for one and you'll be able to still have your other runway and javelin. So we'll still be able to run two javelins. Okay. So we talked about maybe rotating, you know, guys get it one year, girls get it the next year, so on so forth. And I mean it we we'd still be utilizing the other part of the practice field to still have two javelins going. So it's

088not going to slow the slow the process down. Again, like I said, it fits perfect right there. We can adjust that anywhere we need it to a little bit. But going back to the safety aspect, just didn't want people if we do have it going two different directions, we're going to have to shut it to where they can't go. But there should be plenty of room to be get along the fence and then work their way through. So So you'd only have one runway though. Only one runway. We we looked, you know, that the without hitting the practice field. Yeah, you just can't. Yeah, it's just going to be going to that cuz I would have in my reality I would have liked to have one on that from the south down there. Mhm. But

089it's just not going to be it's just not feasible. It's not. So, it's still an improvement. Okay. Shop put. This one is um this one's going to be the one that has a little bit of stuff to it. Um, I don't have I didn't put a map or anything on that, did I? I don't think I did. So, if you look at this sheet here, all these trees are are I mean, this is where the trees are at. Okay. Currently, there's a whole row of trees all the way along this as well. This is all trees. She when she did the program, it took it all it took it all out. And that's what I'm recommending if we're going to do it is to clear these. There we go. It is on there. So, two

090options. And so, this here is the property that we recently got. That's the we walked back there. Now, there's some different deals. I know when she put this on, I didn't have and I never did go find all the the legals as to how far east we own. Mhm. So, you have the house here. You have access. There's a like a road and stuff back here, but I don't know how far down we come. If it's right at the fence line, their fence line or not, we'd have to look at that. Regardless, what we want to do is there's another set of row of trees right here. And then there's another one. There's an old shed or old like garage. Yeah, there's no garage back there. We want three. He wants the coaches want three

091rings and that's mainly for practice. But for the when we do compete in meets, we use the two outside rings and then you chalk it off. So you'd be it'd be almost if I don't know if you ever seen Russell or any of you been over there to the Russell Track Me, but it'd be it's basically very similar to their rings. So, but it's um again that one's going to be a 15T pad by 40. So, 15 that way, 40 foot across um 66T sector. So when I say sector, it's going to be pretty much your depth of how far you're going to come out from the front of the toeboards. So instead of going with that old shell and stuff like that, I think uh like a pearl, something like that. But with that

092being said, you're going to have to, you know, we're going to have to dig and and have a good base and foundation underneath of it. Um, we'd also have to have boundary, however, at least for sure down the side a cement uh footing. Mhm. So, we can keep everything in there, too. Keep the gravel in. Yeah. Yeah. But with that being said, one thing that I noticed with Russell, they had to cut theirs out because it held water. So, we're going to have to come I mean, that's probably in the the bidding process. We'll need some sort of opening in that to make sure the water drains like some kind of drainage. Yep. Makes sense. Um, so the two options is is we leave it where it is. We take the tree down, those trees

093down regardless. Um, and we move it back a little bit. After we walked it the other night, I almost prefer this bottom one down here. The thing about it is is, and it's not on here, there is a fence that runs all the way along here. It's going to be we're going to have to do something on that. Um, we I don't think we want to tear the fence down, but at that point, we may want to make at least a walkthrough gate or depending on again, I I've got to do we need to see where the legals are is if we can get vehicles and stuff back. I mean, if we own all this, it ain't going to be that big a deal to be able to get maintenance back there to mow and

094do everything like that. But we're gonna have to have access for them to be able to get back, right, and take care of the area, right? You know, I almost prefer this one. This opens this whole area for walkway. And as you'll see in a second, you can kind of see it. Pull will be up at the top there. Um, but I think taking those trees, opening that area up, it's going to just make it a lot more accessible, a lot more nice, you know, more for the eyes, for everything else. So Scott, can I make sure I'm understanding you correctly? So you're saying what we're looking at it would be this one or that one? Yeah, it's one. Yeah, option one is existing where it's currently at just redoing the cement, redoing the whole

095landing. Okay. Option two, it that's going to be the one where it'll be on the new property and there there will be like I said the trees regardless what one whatever one we pick we're going to have to clean those trees up and and is it it's for both? It's for boys and girls. There's two. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. There's three so three rings. So for practice they'll be able to utilize all three rings for practice. Okay. And then when the meats go the middle one more than likely will not be used. And so the two outside girls will be in one and the boys will be in the other. Okay? And then you'll have your, like I said, don't these are just for visual more than anything because it's all going to I mean it's

096going to look different once you get it done, but you'll be able to sector off there. Okay. Sector off there. Okay. And we'll be able to use Yeah. They'll be instead of looking right at each other when they're throwing, they'll just they'll be separated out. And like I said, that rings, you know, the width of there is 40 foot. And I think I don't know if I okay have it on there, but there's there's like five foot or so in between the rings, give or take. Okay. So it's you know the picture doesn't do a lot of justice to how how spread out it is. So but yeah, if you think the the discus was 15 by 15. Mhm. So yeah, 15 by 40. So 15 by 40. Yeah. So it' be 40. So they

097would have more than 15 by 15 for each circle during competition. You know, I mean, it'd be Yeah, it's going to cover be like the discus basically. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So, on a on a on a bid, are we wanting them to bid both? You want to see it both ways or I I would say really I say option two. I don't know how everybody else feels, but I think I don't cuz like right now if you have to get in there to get to the scoreboard or do anything, you have to drive over it. Yeah. So, this is option two, right on the picture? Yes. This one here. Yeah. The one behind the house. Option two is the one. Yeah. On the new property. Yeah. Right here, Lisa. Okay. This is north. Gotcha. Yeah.

098So, it's setting back. So, we're throwing from north to south. Gotcha. Okay. Is there any advantage? I'm just to go for south and north. My biggest deal and was staying you know keep people off keep people on our property and because there's plenty of room there's plenty of room back here and this is all flat that hill don't drop down and go back over here. So yeah, they can set their lawn chairs and Yeah. Gotcha. And then because I I thought about that first was going just put it on the over here and go that way. Then when we walk back there, so let's just, you know, go this way, then we're not worried about the private property and we'll have our own area here. And like I said, if we open all this up,

099it's going to make it look really nice, too. Yeah. You know, so Okay. And I'm thinking then, you know, we could if we need, you know, if we want to use it for parking then right inside the gate. So it let me let's talk about parking and I didn't put this on here, but my my thoughts are if we do this because sorry that's pole, right? So it gets rid of some of that southern part. So pretty much what my thought process on this whole deal is is the coaches have requested ble bleachers right here overlooking keeping the triple jump and the long jump in the same spot putting bleachers up over here so you'd be able to watch here. I mean and then you got pvolt and stuff here. So my suggestion would be

100we shut that whole southside dead end zone off for parking. Yeah. My thought was if we did your idea of option two where the option one pit is you that could be parking in there but not beyond not beyond where the where you have the rock being because I mean because to me if they want to sit up there in lawn chairs okay I'll I'll let you finish around the around the upper deck and sit in lawn chairs or whatever. I mean, I I don't have a problem with it personally, but uh but there wouldn't be any, you know, driving beyond where those that shop put area you have designated. Yeah. And it'd be if we're going to if you're going to carry your lawn chairs, why not on the street? Yeah. You know, it's

101the bigger thing the bigger thing to me is having access from the gate. if we got to get a pole truck in there to do more work to the scoreboard or change it out because at some point it' have to be changed out. So having nice access through there without having to drive over your shop rock and stuff. No, I'm with you on that. I'm with you on that. But the problem as far as as far as parking, that's a board discussion for Yeah, we can decide that whenever. But here's the problem here. Here lies your problem. Yeah, but they can we're gonna Yeah, we're going to have to maneuver, you know, res can get over that. Yeah, that's and that's what that's what my thinking is, too. But they can still get in there

102this way. Yes. You know. Yeah. Yeah. And we don't have all that. I think they still probably could too, Chris, because like I said, don't going back to the that sector. It's not near going to be that far out, right? I mean, that's where we have that setting right now is right currently where the fence is, you know, and that fence and the trees is probably 15 I see 15 20 foot. So, that sector is probably going to be down in here. I see. I see. You know what I mean? So, like I said, that kind of distorts the layout. But I do I do I like the other one better anyway, though. So, either way. Yeah. So, but I do like the the pole vault. Mhm. I do too. The only thing that concerned

103me, and I didn't know, we were putting a flag pole exactly right there. It hasn't gone up yet. We walked out there and I think it was right hereish. So, it should be out of the way, but it was we could have Yeah, if we could have moved that thing like more up into the corner, I think that would have been the ideal spot to put it instead because it's off the fence line quite a little ways, but it was all dug. So I was Oh, is it? It's dug, but it's not. It was all dug when we were going through and looking at here a couple weeks ago, you know. But I think here you got all these trees and normally track or track season normally about our time the winds out of the

104south. This is going to be some protection for the pole bers that the wind's not going to be just drilling them, you know. Um, the only thing that needs to be done over here, and I think it's noted in there, is there a lot of under undergrowing stuff in there. We just need to clean it out. Yeah. Yeah. Um, any questions? Like I said, that's I looked we've looked at doing a deal to where we could pull either way and make it the runway longer, but it really stretches everything out. I think we're just that way is kind of how we're how we're leaning there. And that's a 100 foot 100 foot runway. Um going to the pit on the west end. Uh the only thing, like I said, leaving the long jump and triple

105jump where it is currently, we just need to add a 24 foot board on the painting scheme when they put the track down. um we get into our meet or several of the meets uh there's certain um athletes that can't almost get to the pit into the sand at the 27 mark. So we need to we need to make a shorter a shorter uh deal there. Then like I said the other thing was the bleachers adding some bleachers either on either side of it. But um like I said, if you you put bleachers on that hill or to the east, you you kind of got it covered to a degree with pole bolt. And then that, okay, this is where things started going. Not really off the rails, but the the mind started turning a

106little bit. Okay. Um the the small sheds there there's a shed and then the garage um down on the south end or on the north end down there uh I think where the flag pole is currently if I'm not mistaken. [Music] um possibly move one of those up towards where the shop put area is and and for storage of um track equipment, some different stuff along those lines. And then uh demol get rid of the larger shed down there. That would open that whole corner up, add some additional parking, and clean that clean that corner up a little bit. Yeah. It's not I don't think it's in great shape. No. And that's where we're currently keeping that's where we currently keep mats and stuff like that. But one good storm and then we're have everything

107on the mats in there, you know. Um, so with that being said, I don't think I have a picture of the other if I do. Yeah, I do. So, what we were looking at if we do that for storage, try to stay out of the way. That's our current building down there. There's plenty of room to add about 30 foot. try to tie on to that and put doors and stuff on that that end to be able to store everything that we need as far as the track equipment from mats to whatever. If football wants to store all their equipment and everything down there, then everything's down at that facility is kind of kind of what we were looking at. Again, that would do two things. That would modernize this a little bit. Um, my

108understanding was back in the day it was proposed and shot down because they didn't want to go any build the building any bigger. That was before my time or we would had an argument. But if we remove these buildings up in here, like I said, it's going to open that whole the whole deal there, make it look a lot nicer without having those right sitting in the the center of the deal. Again, we'll need to bid it to see what it's going to cost, Lisa, as to if it's a feasible deal. You know, um there's a lot of it just make things, like I said, it would clean that whole area up. It uniform our whole facility down there. it make it look nice and at the same time you know if we do host

109a regional or a league or whatever and we need some room for meetings I mean other than just cramped in a a locker room or whatever you'd be able to have that facility in there to put your your weight or your scales different things like that to get stuff weighed in and like I said then the storage we just have to figure out what kind of doors and stuff we want on that end but we'd be able to store all the mats store everything in there and then as well as like I said be utilized for ball, different things, you know, cross country, whatever. We can utilize that for storage for them as well. And that's kind of the proposal on that deal. So, we started at 25, 25 foot and but there's the the

11030 foot is there's nothing. We're not into the handicap parking at all. There's still those spots are still here even with that 30 foot extended on. So, you're not going to really hurt any lose anything on that end of it. Um, any questions up to this point? I feel like I'm just rambling. You're doing good. Good. Okay. And this is the next big one. Know when we're talking money. the proposals that I looked like was just a resurface uh resurface the track, resurface it, redo it. You know, I I think one of them had removal and demolation and whatever, but it didn't specify exactly what I think it was just resurface. After talking to the coaches, it's one of those deals where we almost need to is a resurface feasible to keep doing every two

111or three years. It seems like that we're having to re redo something to the track. You know, the last time we did it, it bubbled up in that whole one corner. You know, what's causing it to bubble? Is it is it the stuff they're putting down or do we have an underlying issue underneath the track that we need to look at the base of the track? you know, uh I don't remember when we did the base part of that. Before before my time. Before my time. And I think it was before even I was on the board. I think it was because I think it was when they did the fieldhouse and all that, didn't wasn't it all? It could have been. I think it was all done. Okay. So, it's it's going to be

112a discussion piece that we're going to probably need it bid both ways just to look at it because here's my thoughts. If we're if we're having to pay these warranties are a year. I think one is two years. Okay. Well, good. You made it two and a half. Now, you got to spend whatever that amount of money was again. Is it something we need to really seriously look at when they take it off that, you know, yeah, we need to redo the whole base of the track or we're just going to have reoccurring issues. And if you take the time and do it right the first time, make sure we have a good base underneath of it, get the track all reset, then, you know, maybe we get some longevity out of it so we're

113not just a a reoccurring $200,000 every couple of years or three years or whatever the case may be. So, there's different different things I put on there, you know, um a complete replacement of track or resurface existing track. Again, I'm not an expert when it comes to the track side of it. We're gonna have to have someone really look at it instead of just, hey, yeah, I'll resurface it. Here's what the cost, you know, we need someone to really look at it and see if we need have a bigger issue. The plan is Yeah. Yeah. Um, like I said, you know, just going off of I'm going off of what they kind of wrote down on that. Um, but at the same time, like the coaches are concerned that it's something more uh deeper into

114it that's keeps causing us issues. So, maybe something we want to look at. Yeah. Cuz it seemed like the first time it lasted a long time before it really started wearing down. So, too. And then we ground it all off and re- rubberized it and it bubbled like Yeah. two years in we were like Yeah. And you're not, you know, it's like and several of them others. You're not seeing that. You're not Fsburg maybe. You're not seeing that that they're re, it looks like they're having to resurface every couple of years. It looks like theirs is lasting. You know, I just, like I said, it's one of those deals when we got into the weeds of looking at this, you know, we can keep resurfacing it, but how much money are we going to keep

115spending until we actually have to fix the if if it is something deeper that we're going to have just have to bite the bullet and get it done right, right? you know. So, um only other thing is just uh when they do whenever we figure out the surfacing be able to have the option to run the track or like the hundreds and the stuff both directions hurdles hundreds just so we have the the markings and everything are correct. A finish line on both ends to where if the wind's blowing one way, we can swip flip-flop them and be able to move the timers down to the other end of it. Um with the timing crew that they come in, he they would be flexible. So, I think it's just a matter of putting a finish

116line on the other other side of it. So, um just making it making it universal for to play the wind, I guess. Um I think that's really about what I had. I think they're all good. Need to just gonna have to get some of them. You know, I know Lisa said something to having a meeting at USA or whatever here. That's what I was just gonna ask you. Kind of what I'm thinking is um I can I can build a spec sheet off of this, have you look at it, and then we could potentially start taking bids, maybe have something back at the June board meeting. Yeah. um you know and a bid's just that if we we get in and we fall out of our seats and we can take a step back and

117you know start reassess but I think um and I can great starting point I think yeah I do too we can we can visit with some companies uh uh you know it's like anything we're from here you know you can have any company come draw you any plan that you want to have they don't have a clue right you know they've never been to a truck meet here in their life they've never been to a field you know it's one of those things where we got to utilize the this the people that we've had around for years doing this that that's their profession and they love doing it, you know, and I've been around track my whole life and it's one of those things where do we need to upgrade? Yeah. A lot of things

118haven't been upgraded in a long time, you know, from discus ring. Hell, those are the same discus rings and stuff that I had when I was in we're talking 95 9, you know, whatever. Yeah. You know, and that's that was when it was upgraded. I was say they were because I was throwing shot then shot where the flag pole and those buildings are is where I was throwing shot put because it was shot put ring and discos is over in that other corner and that was the two places that we had it you know so when they put those in that was that was the upgrade you know so and the shot the shot put rings even that I never utilized those so those were a little bit after me but we're not talking by

119much you know so we haven't haven't done a lot and like I said I'll quit talking But I think cleaning up and utilizing if we got the land, let's utilize it. You know, spread spread some things out a little bit. It gives everyone room and plenty of seating back there. That's the thing about that deal is is we open that up and clear those couple rows of trees out, right? You know, along the fence. That's going to be the topic though that we're going to have to decide if is if we put that shot put ring over there. We're going to either have to put either a walkthrough gate or you know something because you're not going to be able to control people coming in and out of that like football games, different things like

120that. You know, we're going to have to we're going to have to have some sort of system over there, right? You know, and again that goes back to where the property line is. You know, if that white line is accurate, you know, then that's kind of where we're at. if it's a little bit further to the east and actually we have a drive-thru, you know, back there, too. So, so, and with that being said, hell, you can even open, you know, clear those few trees that are left on there and have more parking on that over there. But that's like I said, you just keep it's it's a rabbit hole. Yeah. I mean, once you start going through this and looking at what we actually have and need to that we could do, there's all

121sorts of stuff. But and with this, you don't have to flatten any ground. You don't have to level any ground. the moving removing trees is going to be the biggest part. Yeah, cuz that's all flat back there and actually there's good grass and I mean once it's mowed it'll it's going to already be pretty well set for everything around it. So cool. Well, thanks for all the work. You got questions, holler. Said I'll have Jen answer them. All right. She's been a rock star on that. I want to give her give her a lot of credit cuz she's she's built all that stuff, put all that stuff to to paper and she's really gotten into to doing it and so I TJ and I told her the other day she probably got to go to

122work for United or Mammoth of they could they could use they could use some help. They could use some help. So but I want to thank her for her help and especially the coaches because we did it in an evening so they did it after practice and came back and went through everything. So I appreciate their time. Thank you. Thank you. All right, we'll move on to number 18. Uh, enrollment capacity for the 2526 school year. Okay. Sorry, Chris. Nope, that's fine. Just this is uh like we did last year for the open enrollment uh capacity numbers uh have to be set each year. So, so if you'll if you'll use the enrollment uh projection that I referred to earlier just to talk about enrollment. Now, if we can use that same document, this is

123uh what we would need to publish on our website. And so, I updated I updated it from what we used last year. The top part is the enrollment projections um like we talked about earlier. And then the next section is the capacity projections. And so I left it where you had set it before um which was each grade level at 55. Um, so as you can see, um, on the top, you know, we're growing. As I mentioned, we're at if if we if we end up in the fall where we currently sit right now, we'll be at 14 students. Um, so you can see though under the capacity projections that we still have room for growth. So, um just like this year um with our seventh grade class, next year with our eighth grade class

124is where we have um you know the smallest room for additional out of district capacity. Um but we still have room for 10. And so um that that still allows I where I would feel comfortable um saying we would still have enough room for growth. Um in addition to this page um there um it's our um our board policy which I reviewed um which is let me see JBCC um and it addresses the uh non-resident and so we won't have to make any changes here in our current policy. We just updated this last year to include the open enrollment. Um unless unless something comes out, you know, in June with a recommended change or something, what we would currently have in place would be sufficient. Um we have the nonresident enrollment link. So this would

125be attached to the So this would go on our website and then it says click here to access the non-resident enrollment application and it's this and I updated this um and I already sent an email to Mr. Wy saying follow up with me about this because um we would get this updated on our website so we would we'd have all of that um ready to go. The only thing we have to have by May 1st is the capacities. So, we need to set that tonight. This we Mr. Winters and I have some time before we need to because the it opens June 1st. And then it does say that it's it's taken until June 30th, but um technically you can accept all year. You you accept out of district all year. So, so that would

126be the main thing is just uh making a decision if you are comfortable with where we are now with the uh 55 student uh capacity per grade level. I'm fine with leaving it as it is and pretty good number. Is that a motion? Sure. I'll second it. All right. It's been moved and seconded. All those in favor? I I opposed. All right, that carries. We will leave it set at 55 students per grade level. All right. All right. All right. I move that we go into executive session with Superintendent Lisa Garing to discuss acquisition of property under the exemption for property purchase under KOMA and the open meeting will resume in the boardroom uh at 9. What time is it? So at uh at 9, let's do 9:05. It's 10. Well, that one's It's 8:53.

127It's 8:53. Oh, okay. It's okay. 9:05 p.m. Second. All those in favor? Oh, yes. Uh, all right. I move that we go into executive session with Superintendent Lisa Garing, elementary principal Chris Reinhardt, and the option to bring in uh junior high high school principal John Han to review certified staff positions, supplemental positions, and current status of employees pursuant to non-elected personnel exemption in their coma. And the open meeting will resume in the boardroom in 30 minutes at 9:36 p.m. I'll second. All those in favor say I. I. Motion carries. that we go into executive session with Superintendent Lisa Garing, elementary principal Chris Reinhardt, junior high and high school principal John Han to review certified staff position supplemental positions and current status of employees pursuant to non-elected personnel exemption under coma. Open meeting will resume in

128the boardroom. Uh I forgot what we decide. 15 minutes. So like let's just do 9. Just do 950. That should be enough, right? I'll second. All those in favor? I Yep. 40. Okay. This making me All [Applause] right. We went through a lot of I think I have it all. Okay. But we'll see. Just holler at me if you need something. I'm going to try to keep up. I'll go. I'll take it. That's right. I mean, she say All right. We'll move on to item number 21. Approval of certified resignations. We have a resignation from Alan Brockmire for instrumental music. Do them separately. Maybe you're comfortable. Uh I think you could do them together. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Okay. So, from Alan Brockmire, it is with mixed emotions that I formally submit my resignation effective May

12929th, 2025 as I retire from my position as band teacher at USD270. After 28 wonderful years of teaching with the last seven spent in this district, I find it both exciting and bittersweet to step away from a career that has brought me so much f fulfillment. Teaching music and guiding students in their musical journeys has been one of the greatest privileges of my life. Watching them grow in skill, confidence, and passion has been incredibly rewarding. My time at USD270 has been especially especially meaningful and I deeply appreciate the support of my colleagues, administration, and the entire school community. The friendships and memories made here will stay with me always. Though I am retiring from the classroom, my love for music and education will never fade. I look forward to seeing the band program continue to

130thrive and inspire future generations. Please let me know how I can help during this transition. Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of this wonderful district. I will always cherish my time here and I'm grateful for the experiences that have shaped my career. Sincerely, Alan Brockmire. We definitely want to thank him for everything that he's done for absolutely for at USD270.

The open meeting will resume in the boardroom in 5 minutes at 10:06 p.m. I second it. Scott. All those in favor? I do number 29. Uh so after receiving Scott's projects and then uh just thinking about other things in the district like the roofs on

135all the other buildings and all those kinds of things. So we have uh our existing bond is going to be paid off in 26 2026. Yep. And so, uh, I thought it would be good if if the state works for everybody to have a meeting to discuss projects like the track project, uh, the roofs, all these different things. uh and to discuss if if there's enough there that we need to consider like because we can do another bond election to just continue the current rate. So, uh, and we can, uh, can't think of who it is, but we can bring Hyper. Yeah, we can bring them in to do a presentation on, uh, if if after this meeting we decide that that's something we want to investigate more, we could have them come do a

136presentation this summer on what the next steps are and how it would work. And they can also give projections on uh you know what kind of revenue it would create which would in turn determine you know how much money would be available for those projects and so that kind of stuff so that we can decide if that's the route we want to go or so anyway that's what uh my idea was with that meeting and we do have a board retreat like in June I think it's June or July it'd be June I think it's the end of June yeah your last day uh at the end of June. There was there was a scheduled board retreat then, but if we wanted to move forward with this, it would be something that we would if

137we did it now, we would be on a proper timeline to uh to investigate those things further. So, yeah, sounds good to me. I usually have training stuff on Tuesdays, but I'm sure I can maneuver it. Okay. You think that'll work? Yeah. Okay. I don't know that we need a motion. I think I just put that in. We have any events that day. No track or nothing on that Tuesday. There's baseball. I happen to notice that this afternoon. Is it in boy too? Um somewhere cold. No, I think it's at home. I saw today. Oh, maybe it is. I think I don't have anything going on. Softball is I think baseball's home and softball's in softball in that. I think so. That's right. Softballs and bully and baseball's here that day. Yeah. So, but if

138that works for everybody and that's kind of what my thought was and plus uh we can talk about uh uh the bus and oh the like the 14 passenger fuss and all those kinds of things too. I mean we can talk about any of that kind of stuff as well as Lisa was going to bring the any addition the fiveyear plan and Sorry. All that kind of stuff. Yeah. I keep thinking that we're I'm just saying it'll be a special board meeting, but as I I visited with um Chris, if we have any of the the positions that you see are still open, if we have any of those, we can we can bring those as long as they're listed on our agenda um ahead of time on our special. We you cannot change a

139special meeting once you publish it, but and then have this the second half of that be the retreat piece of it. just right conversation about um things you'd like to see moving forward. I it'd be a good opportunity to kind of brainstorm some things. All right. Number 30, staff appreciation day. Friday, May 16th. Yep. Friday, May 16th. Typically what we've done is some type of barbecue. Well, that's the day before graduation, huh? Mhm. and and the board will help out with that if you're available. I can definitely grow. I think AC helped. Actually, I helped you last year. I can help you. What time do is that usually right about noon? Yeah, we start at um we start at noon and then we have a presentation and and some of that into the afternoon. Usually

140lunch is right at noon. So, I'm not positive that I'm going to be able to make it. Lunch is kind of fun. They recognize like years of service and all those kinds of things. So, it's kind of a and everybody's in a good mood because it's the end of the end of the school year, looking forward to summer. So, yeah, definitely if you could make it uh and we'll bring it up again a reminder. Uh and then number 31, assign board responsibilities for promotion and graduation. I'd like to do eighth grade so that I can get to Cord and I would like to do high schools. Okay, Abby. Okay, I'll help on high schools if I can just hand out hers. But I don't I don't I wouldn't have to. I was good. I'll give
