001This is a special call meeting tonight and looks like everyone's here. So, item B, I need someone to approve the agenda. Motion. Motion by Bruce. Second. Second by Louis. All in favor say I. I. Motion carries. Uh, next item is our consent agenda. We've got three items under that. Look those over. You have any questions or discussion with any of these? Go ahead, sir. I had a call. Is there any way that the list comes from the state? Correct. No, the list is the list is list to create based on the resources we have. There are certain way forms that don't meet the criteria. So like the band is the one that% of our teams use right now the regulation it doesn't meet the criteria forever traceable like there's just some criteria they're aware of
002it and they're working to fix that they will be allowed one but as of right now they're not the workound with this is a waiver and that's We're going to communicate with coaches to say, you know, this is this is not the ideal way, but if you have no other way of communicating, every person on your team signs waver to allow you to use the map, you technically can. Now, I talked to Grant about it today. He's he's not a fan of making standard operating procedure be a w this is across the state. Every district's there's a lot of across the board with it. So, I think there'll be some adjustments to it, but in the short term, the ones that we approved, the ones we have access to, there are other ones that we
003can pay $50,000 for something. I think the band is free, so they use Exactly. So, that the options are to either pick from that list or we said we will share the form with coach. The thing they have to be mindful of, you know, someone comes on two weeks after the season, we got to remember that they got to sign that parents have to sign that waiver. Our teams are enough to probably be able to monitor it well, but like if you got a band with 150 kids in it, it could be tough to monitor. So that's that's where we are with this. So what do they mean by forever forever tracing? Because when Luke was on the track, they started using that. I have stuff back when he's on it still, right? I can
004pull it up and still see it for forever. I'm getting out of my wheel. I was like, Kelly's explaining this to some degree. Like technology directors are the ones that are really working through this. So it's like if you had a, you know, Facebook Messenger message and I sent it to you, I can delete that and no one can ever find it again. The apps that we've approved and hopefully eventually they'll put that in their settings to where you can set it up as administrators that it's forever traceable. It's one of those laws that had great intentions just they given us more time to cash it out and let abs [Music] it's not because it doesn't meet criteria that's the One of my friends, her daughter teaches county and her brother and she's not allowed.
005Well, and I think the legisle changes just to bring the legisle Who knows what else they're in session. So I think it will be it will be addressed in January. It's just we got to but we got to make sure that all the coaches have access. So that's why a lot of them right because some of them didn't have school emails and that's most likely scenarios we'll pursue those waivers. It'll just be the burden will be on coaches to make sure it's everyone signed up on questions. So, do I hear a motion uh to uh approve the consent agenda? Motion by Bruce. Second by Janice. All in favor say I. Thank you. Motion carries. All right. Um the old business a consider a motion to approve second reading of the KSVA policy updates and procedures.
006Motion by Bruce, second by Louis. All in favor say I. Thank you. Motion carries. New business. Okay. Consider a motion to approve one the joining of the city of Paris mass foreclosure civil action and two for the law firm of Sturgil Turner Barker and Maloney to pursue the protection and security of any tax lean or interest of the board of education of EIS independent schools on the following properties. 316 Sterns Avenue just Sterns Avenue, lot 37, 505 G Street, 321 Hansen Street, 505 Higgins Avenue, 431 William Street, 541 William Street, and 715 Williams Street and against any persons or entities who may hold any interest in the properties now or later discovered, and for the attorneys to take all measures as needed to pursue the civil action. So basically this is going in with the
007city to Yeah, there's several properties that are currently headl This is addressing the city just approved this Tuesday. Any other questions? Do I hear a motion to approve? Motion by Bruce. Second by Kelly. All in favor say I. I. Thank you. Motion carries. Okay. Item B. Consider a motion to approve the updated 2025 2026 salary and stipen schedule. So they did a lot of work on this to prepare one two pager about it. I'm going to give that to you. Uh this basic what we did is a comparative analysis of our district and surrounding districts. Where are the spots on the salary schedule that we have the biggest gaps? So for instance, you know, a teacher with with zero years of experience right out of college makes about the same here as it does in
00810 years. Some places make a little more, some places a little bit less. Uh as it gets up to years and we fall a little further behind. When it goes back 10, we're closer in line with those around it. And as we get 16, 20, 25, 30, we have bigger gaps as we've talked about, you know, county, but even just with surrounding district. So rather than just doing a flat increase across the board, this is a targeted to try to match up as competitive as we can with surrounding district. So you can see how that's spelled out where each of those groups in the salary schedule. So overall, we're impacting those higher end. We've got you know, we're several thousand below us catch up some of that and some of the other stuff spelled out.
009Main understanding is everyone got a 1% increase. So there's not one position that didn't get the 1% increase other than the one payroll clerk that just was hired at the salary already been adjusted. So everybody got a raise and then it's just the it was looking like food service. Our food service folks were making considerably less than surrounding food. We were able to bump those up and match up with surrounding districts. Another example is our bus drivers. So our bus drivers, you know, we quickly raised up $25 an hour hour several years ago, but the the whole scale from year zero was 25 and year 27 was 27. So a $2 increase over 27 years didn't line up. So we had other district now other districts caught up with us. So we wanted to extend
010that 27. didn't really bump do a big bump at the the low end, but as you get to 10, 15, 20 years of bus driving experience, you would make money stretching that out, if you will. Um, I said I already touched on food service hourly rates that are just more competitive with what we're district there. And I mentioned to you about that last holding off on that right now. Still got there. So several tweaks said a lot of a lot of analysis went into this try to purposeful and I think as we continue to move forward the goal is to build up contingencies continue to do things like this more So the position is right. So we had stud Any questions about the schedule? I'm excited for them. I said we want to do as
011much. I think appreciate that purposeful. All right. I need some to consider a motion to approve the outdated 2526 salary and stipen schedule. Do I hear a motion? Motion by Louis. Second by Kelly. All in favor say I. I. Motion carries. Item C. Consider motion to approve first reading of policy 9.4341 with revision K through 12 grade. So this allows right now our current virtual option. We talked about It's only 3 through 12 through 12. We don't think of kids in that situation that school. Do we currently have very many interested in that? A lot of people reach out email. put out social media some engagement. So the plan is in next starting July 1, we have a twoe application window. We have quite a few applicants for that and then once that's done on
012boarding handbook sign really you run into constituents that have students that are homeschooled or know students are home. This is a great way to get the resources and benefits that we have school but also helping program soccer football. They go to beta and field trips. We really our goal is to customize best we can to meet. Any questions? Does that count toward the student home school responsible for that access right now? They said it should be a win. We got to commit suing things building. So, do I hear a motion to approve the reading of policy 9.43141? Motion by Louis, second by Janice. All in favor say I. Thank you. Motion carries. Okay. Item D, consider a motion to approve cyber insurance agreement for the 2025 2026 school year. We thought this was in the
013thing last time just didn't make it or what this is along with all the other insurance. I hear a motion. Motion by Bruce, second by Janice. All in favor say I. I. Thank you. Motion carries. E.
