Um Mr. Charles do you want to share an update? It's first time. Thank you. >> I'll start with the uh human county high school kitchen baseball renovation. We me Derek Gil and Bill B from AK construction

006event met uh Wednesday to discuss the kitchen floor tile Hayes and the outstanding punch list items at the kitchen and the baseball field. Bill B and A and K is willing to complete all the outstanding punch list items. Charles and Sean will be able to call with uh BAK tomorrow morning to set up schedule for summit is trying to have Ak complete all outstanding fun list items by the beginning of the new school year so they can always be like so we will touch base with him tomorrow. uh build it seem to have an issue about how to get fixed. So, we just need to get a few uh the Newberg uh middle school fieldhouse. Uh change order number three, which was to add a new electrical running from the new fieldhouse to the existing

007baseball home duck is complete. Change order two to install new 3in PVC water line to replace old water line will begin next week. 80% of the exterior brick and mirror has been installed. Uh the new roof cover board was was uh delivered today and they will start uh installing next week which at that point that means the building will be dry in so they can get in start moving for uh project is on schedule. Uh final completion date I believe is November the 29th 2025. The new Land Bird County Middle School uh classroom renovations is almost complete. The GC is awaiting the classroom and restroom door delivered and then will be installed when received. Uh they have to finish installing a few ceiling tile and second floor classrooms that we divided up. The project is

008on schedule. Final completion is set for August 8th. So we'll be way way ahead of that. We're really almost done at this point. is just getting in there and getting that doors handed with principal ready to do conscious. That's all I have. I'll let Josh go there. Thank >> y'all. Good evening everybody. Next slide. And then I want to turn that on. So the first thing we're going to see here today, so a big portion of the job we had to take care of moisture mitigation. So as you can see the orange means that they completed mitigation in the building. So we now have all the floors covered. Uh so we'll be starting laying flooring starting on Monday of next week. Uh so this was a pretty big thing. We have a couple of little

009places around thresholds we kind of work on to make level. Uh, but if you get a chance to go into the building anytime soon, it's a construction thing, but the floors look really nice. I mean, they've done a really good job at at getting that there. Um, go on to the next picture or something. Um, so all the plumbing is in underground uh and exterior of the building and it's getting covered up now. Uh, we have uh again removed all the flooring. the moisture mitigation is done. Um, all our walls are up and we're starting to get those rubbed. Uh, which means we're getting ready for paint. Uh, so you'll start seeing paint on the new walls in the building. Uh, they will be there in the band room as well. Uh, but a lot

010of lot of more visual things down for you guys to see. On the next slide, weather days. Uh again, we're not going to have any of these with this job hopefully. Um but that so you guys are aware of that one. On the next slide, uh financials. So we do have uh and I'm missing one chain actually all together. So $27,111 is what it cost to moisture mitigate the bedroom. Uh all of area B, which is about where we are now, and then area C and D, which is the rest of the school. uh in order to get all those slabs ready. Uh the reason for that change order is there's no more screw barrier underneath the slab. So in order for us to keep the warranty in the manufacturer not to have an issue

011with something in the future, they pretty much require this to be put down in order to maintain the warranty. And then going through the next slides, um this one is a new wall going up. Go on to the next one. It'll be that as well. So, these are the new CMU walls. They're going into the rooms to for the bathrooms that we're building in there. Uh, next slide will be a lot of the same as well. Um, going to the next slide. So, this is the start of doing prepping the floors. They have to acid treat the floors. Then they have to apply two different coats. some moisture mitigation though and then a I think tactile glue for the fins that come over top of it. So this is a pretty involved process but the

012guys have really done a good job of getting it taken care of to the next slide. So this is after they've actually treated the floors and they're sweeping up getting ready for the next uh treatment. And that's all the picture that I have of yesterday. I really want and if you guys have time uh let me know when I can be here. I'd love to walk it with you guys, either myself or David on site. Um, but that's picture really don't do it justice from what you can see in the right. Um, other than that, that is my presentation. Unless has any questions or anything about project now to the attendance for Mr. You don't want to approve anything. >> All right. And then we move down now to our board action items. And item

013A is to approve the um contract between the county board of education and ESPA for the federal school and high school learning project. >> Thank you, Chairman Rager. Uh board members. So last month we took a low bid from West Fellow and so now for 702 KR4160 which is the capital construction process is required that we have an AIA agreement in place between us and the contractor and attached is an AIA agreement for the above mentioned project. I would recommend that we approve the AI contract. >> All in favor of approving the contract between the board of education with Escal for the middle high school project, please say I. I. I. All opposed. Hear none. Item B is to approve change order numbers one to county school and high school brick project. So this is

014a change order uh we briefly talked about last month to where replacing the gutters at the high school putting this on the middle school that gutters actually go to the high school and then also replacing some of the basing of the the high school that had the old old color so that this will match the new high school. Uh so those things will go to the high school but they are a part of this change order number one and I would recommend that the board approve change order number one motion to approve second order. All in favor of approving the change order number one for the middle one high school roof project. Please I >> all opposed. I hear none. We'll move down now to item C and that's to consider the designation of additional

015specific programs and applications as principal communication systems be used by Madison Community College and credit students. Thank you, Chairman Regger. As we mentioned again last month, Senate Bill 181 is the traable communication systems and we approved Remind U. Now I'm going blank. We approved Remind as well as the Google Suite class dojo and aptitude. And we received a letter from KCPCS for our dual credit classes that they use. In order to protect our our staff and to make sure that we still follow Simply 181, we need to approve uh the system that they use at the college. And those systems are listed and those are Blackboard, Anthology, Outlook that includes that is the KCTCS.U new domain and starfish are the three that they use and those are the three that we're requesting that we add

016to our traceable communication uh approved traceable communication systems and I will add also this is only for our dual credit instructors not just anyone just those specifically for credit all of these are already owned by the community have a motion by Mr. Jar. >> Second by Mr. Porter favoring the designation of additional specific programs and applications for the MCC and dual graded students. Please say I hear none. Move down now to item D and that is to consider approving the 202526 student fees. So, in accordance with board policy 09.15, all student fees must be approved by the board of education. You have to list for each school and the duty or not to reduce the fees that they have charged with this school year. And I would recommend we approve the 2526 school piece. and

017then second. >> All in favor of considering approve approving the 2025 2026 student fees, please say I. I. >> I. >> All opposed. I hear none. We'll move down now to item B and that is to consider second reading of KSBA board policy update number 48. >> So this is the second reading of the annual KSBA board policy update. All of the updates to board policies are either required by state law or recommendations by KHBA. You have received those policy changes. We approved the first reading last uh month. I want I want to draw your attention to a couple policies that we need to make sure in the second reading that we we've adjusted or made some modifications. So, first is policy 03.1233 and policy 03.2233. The only difference between those two policies is one

018is certified, one is classified, but the policy is the same. It is our maternity leave policy. And this time we would like to recommend that we keep our old policy for now because we have until July 1st of 2030 to make the changes that were recommended. We would like more time before implementing anything and kind of see where where other districts go with this policy. The other policy that I would draw your attention to is policy 09.4261 4261 that is a telecommunication devices and we are looking to strike a uh a line item from it. I'm just going to read that. It says students are prohibited from using a personal telecommunication device during instructional time except during an emergency or if directed to do so by a teacher for an instructional purpose. The next part

019of that says or if authorized by a teacher. In order to protect our teachers and everybody's on the same page, we would like to strike that last part that says or if authorized by a teacher so that a teacher can't just make a blanket, you can get out your telecommunication devices. It has to be for the two things listed here during an emergency or directed to do so by teacher for an instructional purpose. So those are the modifications that we would recommend in this second reading. Um welcome for any questions. Other than that, I would recommend that the board approve the second reading of KSBA board policy update number 42 and accept the proposed changes including the modifications that we just mentioned. Motion by a second by Mr. All in favor of considering the second

020reading of KS1 policy at day number 48 with the modifications that were mentioned please say I hear none down to the next and that is to consider second reading of board policy 09.436. >> Thank you chair. This is the update to board policy 09.436. It is our second meeting as you had the first at our special call. This is our search and seizure policy and this is to include the use of metal detectors for random checks throughout the school day which will be used to help search for vapes uh anything like that during the school day. And I would recommend the board consider updating board policy 9.436 and accept the proposed changes as written. Considering the second reading of board policies here on 436 changes, please say I. If I oppose none, we are going

021now to our board consent agenda items and this is the approval of the minutes of the prior board meeting. Everyone's had a chance to review this new packet and if there's five changes I'll ask all in favor of approving the board consent agenda items please say I >> I opposed I hear none and at this time we are down to a motion to motion on this board second by Mr. order. All in favor of adjourning, please say I. I. >> I. >> All oppose. I hear none. And we are. Thank you.
