So, next we have the superintendent report. >> Thank you. This up real quick. Okay. Um, I hope I don't steal too much of your thunder. We got a small crowd today. I'm just going to talk to this troop right here. Um see oh you already solved most of this earlier right >> you got it you got it memorized probably um so some of the things you're going to be talking about and seeing uh in this evening's board of education um meeting one is that we're here to approve asking to be approved working with Heather and and Michelle and the union uh we have
004a couple things that we need to kind of straighten out before we get into the school year. So, um, I've always felt it important that when you have a memo of understanding or a change to the contract that all of you approved that you should be aware of any even if the the most even if it's what appears to be a minor change or a minor addition. I think it's important that you're aware of it and you also have an opportunity to ask questions and approve it because it is essentially amending the contract that you've already approved. So, the teachers contract we're looking to add number one uh GSRP. I'll get into that in a second. Also, we're looking to add number two online grading stipen. And then lastly to the secretarial contract where we
005want to make a a slight amendment to uh the secretarial staffing portion of that uh contract. So GSRP is prek. It's a prek program. Um and what we're asking to do um and Diana's in support of this. We have two prek teachers and aids that are obviously going to benefit from this. The teachers union supports this as well, but essentially the the way that the GSRP preK program is set up is that Fridays, all of Friday is their planning period. So they really don't get a planning period Monday through Thursday. They don't get an off period like you might see at the middle school or the high school level um where they have one period per day so that they can grade and they can do lesson plans and do all that stuff. So, in
006the GSRP um preK program, what happens is those teachers are are pretty much on all day Monday through Thursday. They don't really even get a break even even during lunch. Uh sometimes they will have supervision uh responsibilities with these prek kids. So, all of their planning is done on Friday. Students don't come in on Friday and then the teachers get all Friday to to do their planning for the entire week essentially. So the question is, we've never had a prek program like this before in our contract when we originated it a couple years ago. So what happens if they miss that Friday? We want to make sure that they get that time for planning back. So if it's a scheduled day off, we're going to make up planning time. It'll be arranged in advance. Um
007if it's an unscheduled day off, like maybe a snow day, then we'll plan with those teachers and with Deanna Duffton's help, and we'll make that time up later, hopefully within the next 3 to four weeks. So, this this particular memo of understanding is going to add this to our current teacher contract. Anybody have any questions? >> How do you make up the time? >> Great question. I wish Diana was here, but Michelle and Heather >> Spencer, I think it's really important, too. It's not just planning time because of it is um GSRP, our great start readiness program. Uh you are our district is required to follow a ton of lensure. Um So our our teachers have to do uh home visits on this Friday. They have to fill out all of the contracts and lensure
008that great start readiness program requires by the state of Michigan to keep our doors open for this program. Everything that they have to do is required on this Friday because Monday through Thursday they are a closed in they are a closed facility with the kids during those hours. They don't get a break. They don't get a lunch. They have their lunch in the classroom with the kids the entire time. So there's no other time for them during the day to take a phone call, do any of their paperwork, you know, meet with somebody or have a meeting on the side during their prep. They can't do it at that time. It all has to be done on this Friday. So if it can't be done, this time has to be made up some other time
009during the and what we're saying in theou is in that two week window Deiana has to somehow meet with them and and she'll meet with that teacher. They will figure out a window of opportunity. Maybe Deanna has to get coverage for that teacher. Some something they will come to some type of understanding. Probably the easiest would be to call them a substitute and give them a half day a couple of times to make up that day through over a two or three week period. That would probably be the least intrusive, right? And if not, then they will be paid for the time that they're going to have to do this outside of contractual hours because if it's not done on that Friday or when their time is covered and it's covered by a sub, then
010they're going to be doing it on their off hours, which is cutting into their their family time outside of the contractual hours. >> And we've we've investigated the program. uh copesd I think you guys are aware the copes is the governing body uh so the the and what Heather's talking about with these state right there's more regulations for our prek program than if we were to do it alone a standalone program we kind of have the freedom and flexibility to do it any way we wanted to but we want to do it this is this is the Cadillac version of prek programs you have Uncle Sam or in this case coopd keep looking over your shoulder and then making sure that we're following through with all these guidelines and all these additional things that we
011have to do to make sure that we are providing the best service possible for these pre preK uh students. And I'll talk about this a little bit later. Looks like we're going to have two full prek um sections. So, we'll have two preK sections of uh 16, total of 32 students this uh fall starting. And hopefully, if that continues to grow, we'll start a um a waiting list with the ability hopefully in the intention of adding a third and maybe possibly a fourth the following year. >> So, any other questions? Yeah, >> I think it's also important to note, too, that we didn't just make this up. We we're modeling it after other successful prek programs that are doing the same model. >> This is modeled after the dearborn >> GSRP. So every Friday I
012have a question. Every Friday is used to plan for the next week. Is that what we're >> the the Friday is the only time that these teachers are off. And what I mean by off meaning that they're not essentially with the kids Monday through the way that this program is is devised Monday through Thursday from morning till they leave. It's hands-on. They don't get that carved out nice hour of planning period like a high school teacher might. >> Well, I'm just trying to understand why we don't have the school year. I guess pre-planned in some respects. >> Well, we do instead of doing it just every Friday planning for the next week. I guess I'm trying to understand what's the purpose of the planning for the Friday. What are they planning? >> It's not that
013they're planning their next week. It's getting your materials ready. There's a lot of materials involved in like >> oh prek. >> There's a curriculum they got to follow too and they've got to be able to have the rubric assessed. >> Yeah. >> It's also doing home visits and then filling out extra paper. >> It's not just doing lesson plans. >> Okay. That was that was my there's a whole bunch of other requirements because it is uh a state fed state funded program. Um because of that there's a lot more hoops to jump through. Do we have to have like any kind of different sub or can like a sub who would sub at a first grade class sub there or do we have to have like specialized subs? >> I wouldn't think so, but that's
014something we would need. I mean, as long as they're uh if they have a subcertification for elementary, they should be okay. But that's a good question. That would be a great question for Deanna um that we can ask and get back to you about. >> I would assume that it doesn't, but I don't want to assume. >> I just I don't have a pro. I think that's fine. I just want us to not be caught with their pants down if we get a bunch of snow days and then how are you going to sub for all these >> Exactly. Right. Yep. You're defin We're definitely going to go >> Hopefully she's got that figured out. >> Yes. I I would assume so. >> Yeah. >> You might be surprised how many even if the teacher
015falls on a Tuesday. >> Correct. So >> yeah. I mean, if you're saying >> prek is a special special animal when you're when you're talking about >> right if you're saying you got two weeks to make it up like right >> it's not always easy to get subs as these people up here know >> right >> so the otherou you're going to have an opportunity and all these by the way are in your packet if you haven't had a chance to look through them yet and read them u but I'm just trying to summarize them as best I can for for to try to save a little bit of time um here at Inesse Academy we are looking uh there was a state change um what the state changed um a little over a year
016ago now is that you must um they're they're regulating online school a little bit more. So what they're requiring of all school districts which they did not over a year ago was that in order to enter a grade and I know this sounds silly, you must be certified in that content area, right? So the problem is we only have 2.5 teachers over here working and they're not certified in everything that you can take online. So, we actually have to recruit some high school teachers to help us input those grades so that they're legally being input the correct way. And if if Laura Nestle's not here, she but this has to do with enrollment and entering grades properly and making sure that we are counting all of our students properly as well. So, what we're going
017to have to do, this site is $300. And what it would do is it would um any certification that we don't have here in the Inesse Academy, uh we would have to post and then we would allow high school or might could be a middle school teacher or even could be an elementary school that that might have a certification that we're looking for. Um they're kind of those they're those outlier certifications. We can cover math, English, science, social studies here. That's not a problem. All of our teachers can cover the basic subjects. It's we find ourselves in trouble when it's a class like Spanish. Well, also we had a lot of I think there was 11 students at culinary. Um PE and health. We don't have a PE and health teacher out here. So to
018enter that grade, it would have to be someone that's certified in PE and health. It's not a lot of work. It would be four times a year at the end of each quarter. Um, we did speculate that each teacher would probably have to enter anywhere from 15 to maybe 50 grades depending on the subject matter and the level of interest by the students. Uh, but no more than 100. We put a cap on it. If it's 100, then we'll have to reevaluate how we're doing that, which I don't believe any one teacher will be close to entering 100 grades per quarter, right? So, and this uh you know this is kind of strange, but I can let me tell you what the old way was. What the state did allow us to do, which they
019no longer do, was that if you had a sub certificate, you could enter in any subject matter. >> Doesn't make any sense. >> No, doesn't. >> So, most school districts did that. They had at least one of their full-time teachers at their online school have a subcertificate. and any of these anomalies that didn't fit nice and neat into the whatever the teachers in the particular building were certified in, then they would just give it to that person who had the subcertificate. They could put in the PE, they could put in the culinary, they could put in all these other grades. Well, the states put a stop to that and now you have to be certified to enter that grade. >> Is that correct, Marlene? I >> correct. >> Okay. And the union is in agreement
020with this, right? Did you guys have any other questions or anything to add? So, this we've worked with them. We've been working with them all summer long on making sure that we can start the school year off um and get those uh recruit whatever teachers we need to recruit with the certifications that they need to have so that we can enter uh online grades. The uh lastouou that you're going to have an opportunity to take a look at is going to impact the secretarial contract. And essentially this was a proposal made by the secretaries. And this stems from um us moving second grade over to the intermediate building and seventh grade over to the high school. If you recall, at one point in time last year and many years before, we had an intermediate school
021and a middle school. Well, each one of those schools had a lead secretary in it. Now we're combining that school so we don't need two lead secretaries anymore. Right. So the one secretary in the back or in the intermediate office is going to move to the front. But also one of those secretaries and I believe it's the one that's moving up from the intermediate building, correct? Actually requested to no longer be the lead secretary. She would prefer which means she would work a few less days per per year. Um which we were fine with. It's going to save the district a little bit of money. We were thinking that way anyways. We're only going to need one lead secretary. And if you guys know uh Renee in the um intermediate building, she's awesome. So now
022the secretary that was in the back will move from lead to support and work a little bit less days. Is that correct, Marlene? >> That's correct. And that's what she wanted to do. >> Yeah, it was their right. >> We were thinking about it, but they brought it to us and we're like, okay, that would we agree. So that would be and that's a slight change, but nevertheless, it is a change uh to the secretarial contract. Any questions about that? Ben, did you have something to say? >> I'm good. >> He's like my bad child in the classroom. Uh, moving on now. I'm just going to I might steal a little bit of your thunder from some of your committee uh notes, but um just wanted to make sure that we highlighted a few things
023here for for everybody in public. There was a few things I think that rose to the top of of each of the committee meetings that we had this uh past month, but one in particular, if you take a look in your uh package, you'll find that the general fund at the end of June, our total revenue exceeded our total expenses. So, that's a good thing. That's very um cautiously optimistic because we were afraid that we were going to be significantly the other way that our expenses were going to exceed our revenue. Now, I do want to say cautious cautiously optimistic because there are still potential uh revenues that we're going to get like from grants and there are still bills that um may yet to be paid. So, just because it's the end of the
024fiscal year, June 30th, that's a good sign that we're in the black $690,264. but with an understanding that there's still bills to be paid and revenue to be gathered. It's not going to be until we get our audit that you're really going to have final numbers. And our audit is happening right now, Marlene. And it's usually presented in one what month do they present? >> October or at the latest November. >> So, we we'll get all the the fiscal year will be wrapped up and presented in October. Uh already talked about that. Here's another thing I just wanted to mention. I was talking, we had a cabinet meeting this afternoon and and um uh our building principles were there and district administrators were there. But um one of the things that's probably going to come
025up uh later in my superintendent evaluation is we've been talking about student growth and how to measure student growth. If you guys recall when our uh facilitator was here last time, we talked about um having each building report out how many teachers did you evaluate and how many teachers met the expected student growth. So here's the data from that and we confirmed that today in our meeting. Uh the elementary school, you can see uh we evaluated 11 teachers total. Seven met the student growth goal and as you see going down here's how many teachers were evaluated in each school and how many met the uh teacher growth goal. If you if you if you do the totals we have 41 teachers um evaluated 34 met the goal or 83%. So the one thing I want
026you to take into note is that the student growth goal has changed significantly this year to last year. Correct? Are you guys aware of that? Probably not. Okay. So, uh, so the student growth goal used to be, um, an all-in goal, right? So, what we did is we looked at math and English and we we set an arbitrary goal and we used our MAP scores to determine whether or not we met that arbitrary goal for growth. It was called an all-in goal. This past year, um, the teacher evaluation, the the state law changed. The biggest change in the state law was if you guys recall this the teacher evaluation process had four prongs or it went up to four, one being the lowest, four being the highest or excellent. Um the state law changed uh
027some time ago before the beginning of this last school year and actually the union was very instrumental in rewriting our uh teachers evaluation process because what we did is we took an advantage of one it went from four to three but two we've also incorporated individual growth goals. So let me give you an example what an individual growth goal is. the building principles over here. Now, when they meet with their teachers, if I'm Marty Mix and I'm meeting with these nine teachers, I sit down with each one of them and we talk about what it is that you want to get better at. We talk about an individual growth goal and it's tailor made to every teacher that they evaluate and then they measure that whatever the whatever the principal and the teacher agree to
028that's the that's the measuring stick, whatever is their goal. So, it's very much more individualized than it has been in the past, which I think is a good thing. You got building principles talking with teachers talking about areas that they need to get better at and their students need to get better at and then they create a goal and then they measure it and then they see if they obtain it or not. And I think this year, I don't know if you guys anybody wants to re I thought it went pretty well for the first year with teach with principles working with teachers to create those individual goals and then determining whether or not they met them or not. Did you guys have anything you want to add about that? >> Well, I think something
029we discussed today though too, you're looking at 83% which is a great number, but in reality, the amount of success is even higher than that because if a teacher, Ben brought this up today at the meeting, if a teacher sets an expectation that they didn't get, well, they they don't get their their goal, what they were looking for. But some teachers are setting goals that are they're very lofty is a good way to put it. um where if they were to say I want all my kids to be at 70% passing or 75% pass some of them are I want my kids to be at 90% the successful rate well that's a very lofty goal in reality so if the kids didn't get to that number that would demonstrate that mark on there where it
030says it was unsuccessful but it wasn't necessarily an unsuccessful year for effective teaching they still made their mark to be an effective teacher in the state database but that data is reflective of their goal specifically Yeah, I think the biggest problem we had was some of the teachers were maybe a little bit over ambitious with their with their setting of their goal. Um, but those were great discussions to have at the end of the process and it also made them think a little bit about, you know, the next time I go through this process, maybe how I can, you know, uh, alter that goal a little bit. Um but the best thing about this is that the conversations that happen between teacher and building principal about data about specifically you know because the biggest problem
031with the math test to be honest with you when you use the all-in goal you got you got outliers you have teachers when you're take take when you're saying to all of your teachers we're going to look at math and English and we're going to see how well those grow. Now, everybody could have a little bit of a a hand in to improving math and English, but you're always going to get an argument from a teacher like your PE teacher. Well, how does that what am I, you know, there's some things you could probably do to incorporate more reading or, you know, have an article of the week or do something like that, but also your CTE teachers, you know, sometimes I, you know, I want something, they wanted, the teachers wanted something a little
032bit that was a little bit more purposeful for them so that they could say, "Okay, this is what I do." And I want to I want my students to grow in this particular area. So I don't know it was year one. Uh we'll be doing it again next year. Uh this also represents we have about 100 teachers and that includes everybody in the teachers contract. So 41 of 100 and we're we're in a a three-year cycle. So this this group here will get um uh just finished their evaluation. A new group will go year two. A new year year a new group will go year three. And then we'll start over again. Any questions on that? Okay. Also, I just want to mention this. We're not using our MAP scores anymore, but um Jamie is
033not here. Uh but if Jamie was here, she would tell you again that our math map scores were the best that uh Jaime's ever seen in her tenure here as as a teacher. These math uh increases um were significant across the board, right? Um, and a lot of it was attributed to the two years of math curriculum work that we've put in. Now, we're starting to see, uh, you know, teaching to those power standards, aligning our curriculum to those power standards, the standards that were that the, uh, the Michigan State tests us on is starting to improve um, some of our scores. Math, math, we blew it out of the water. English over here. Good. Maybe not as good. But if you also were starting our English curriculum review now. So when Jamie's talking about
034um you know teacher curriculum camp in August for two days on the 18th and the 19th, we're bringing these teachers in to focus on because we're feeling pretty good after two years about um the math curriculum. But now we're looking to embark on making some tweaks and some changes um that will hopefully in a year or two uh we'll see some changes in this column right here. But math is incredible gains this year and ELA are good moderate um but hopefully we'll be increasing with uh some of the new English language arts curriculum work that we're planning on doing. Couple other things real quick before I finish up here. East Elementary renovation project. That's the biggest project on our horizon right now. We're budgeted to spend $10.5 million uh on this particular project. Um I
035met with site logic last week and they released some of these tentative dates, but uh dates that you want to probably if you're interested in bidding on this project project for example, but our bid documents will go live hopefully on September 4th. uh contractor walkthroughs led by Steve will happen on September 11th and then October 9th is going to be the bid opening and we're really really hopeful that we're going to get a bunch of bids. Uh one of the biggest problems that we have as you guys know is that we've not been getting a lot of competitive bids and the more competitive bids we get, the more options that we have. So, I think our goal should be four to five competitive bids and hopefully we can find a good contractor and they can
036start that work in the spring. And uh so we would break ground in the spring, work through the summer and then try to do the rest in phases and try our best not to uh disrupt the educational environment the following school year. Any questions about East Elementary? And real quick, summer facility bid uh updates. Uh classrooms were pretty darn close. I met with the building principles and Steve today. We're pretty darn close to having all of the classroom furniture stuff relocated. Uh I still think my understanding at our meeting we're still going to meet the August 1 guidel uh deadline of moving everything second grade over to the intermediate bill building, seventh grade over to the high school building. Is that correct? Okay. I don't know if you've seen the gym floor, but that's now
037completed. It looks wonderful. We had some boards replaced. We had it repainted. It's pretty cool. If you haven't seen it yet, we you guys know uh our our last special board meeting, we uh approved the track replacement. So, that work uh will start soon. Um and Thunder Bay expansion expansion is on time. It's on its timeline, maybe a little bit ahead of timeline. So, if you've been by the middle school, you can see on that back end that they've built out in into the or towards the parking lot and that's almost complete. and we are going to bid for the uh tennis courts. The tennis courts were not approved at the special board meeting. So, one of the things to try to stay in budget is we're going to reduce the footprint. Uh the footprint
038right now is four tennis courts. We feel if we reduce it to three that we can come in under budget and get that job possibly done uh this summer. And we've been painting the courtyard. The courtyard is now brown. And I think Tim's going to help us out with painting chiefs on one side of the wall. Is that correct? Do you have any timeline for that, Tim? >> I'll be starting this week. >> Okay. >> Any questions on summer facility updates? Also, Steve told us today that the uh the asbestous removal um project at the elementary school for the summer has been completed. So, that job is done. >> It came under budget. >> And it came in under budget. Thank you, Julie. He was very happy about that. And so was I. We've already
039talked about prek enrollment. It's open and it's filling up. We'd also just like to um the K6 uh summer jump start academy. Ben, you want to tell us a little bit about that? And also I have the wrong dates, right? >> Yeah, it'll be the 5th through the 8th and the 12th through the 15th. >> Um >> Okay. So, Monday's going to be a planning day, right? >> Planning day on the 4th, I think. >> And then the 5th through the 8th will actually be camp. >> Yep. Kids will be there from noon till or 8 till noon from 7:30 till 12:30. Um, we've got, I want to say close to 60 kids, 50 or 60 kids signed up already, um, for our grade levels, um, which is pretty good. I'll send something at the
040end of the week as a reminder last minute to sign up. >> I think we still have some room to take more kids, right? >> We'll take and I had teacher ask me like, what if what if some kids show up that didn't sign up? Like, we'll probably be able to take just anybody who shows up, >> right? And we are going to serve breakfast and lunch, I believe. Correct. >> And that that's going to happen at both the intermediate school and the elementary school. Uh then also so that's the first two weeks of August. The first two weeks of August are the K6 jump start camp for K through six students. But then we have the third week we've been had we've had this kindergarten camp here in our school district for years. I
041don't know how many years. But Deanna has always uh ran a specific kindergarten camp for those kids uh that third week of August just to try to get them in a week before school starts so they can get some confidence and some connection and some comfort. So we do have grant money to take care of that. Um so we'll be running that kindergarten camp as well the third week of August. Also the custodians have been doing such a good job. We're planning to have uh an appreciation lunchon for them. I'd like to invo invite uh three board members because we can't have four, right, Julie? >> Right. But if any of you, three of you would like to come and join us on Tuesday, August 5th from 11:30 to 1:00 in the high school cafeteria.
042And if it's nice enough, we're going to go out to the courtyard and have a little picnic. Um our our our I don't know if you guys have anything to say, but I think your custodians from my observations have been doing a heck of a job. >> Yeah. Amazing. So, if you want to come and and and um uh have a a hamburger, I think we're going to have some hamburgers and hot dogs ready for those guys. Uh feel free to stop by the high school uh cafeteria on August 5th. This is what the first week of our of our um return to school looks like. Just started putting that together with our uh building principles and district administrators this morning. It's pretty similar, a little bit different, but very similar to what we've done
043the past couple of years. We did move new teacher orientation day to Monday the 25th. The district welcome back day will be Tuesday the 26th. Uh the teacher PD day will be August 27th. Um and then what's kind of cool is the 28th and 29th which is Thursday and Friday teachers will have have off along with Monday. And then our uh first day of students on September 2nd uh will be teachers and students and also our first football game. I always find this odd and our first football game is before school even starts, but >> usually we have two. >> Yeah, usually you do. Yeah, usually I have two already. So, any questions? >> Hope I didn't steal too many of your committee notes, uh, Thunder, but um, just want to make sure we highlighted
044that particular information. Questions, concerns? >> Okay, thank you. >> All right, thanks. The next thing on our agenda is the curriculum committee meeting which we had on July 22nd and um the first thing we talked about was BRSP which did a wonderful job explaining then online grading another wonderful job and then secretary secretarial staffing another great job. The next thing we talked about was um some hands-on science opportunities that we are going to put into the district next year. Title 4 funding has been cut. So, they're looking for alternative um funding. Uh Jamie is thinking about the Shabboan County Community Foundation as a possible source. Two things that she is thinking about is one is called Trailblazers. It's for grades 2 through six where we partner with Little Travers Conservancy and they have monthly outdoor
045hands-on science experiences and the cost is only $5,13 which is great. That would take it through an entire year of it. They would also work with a STEM teacher in doing this. And while they're working with the STEM teacher, they would also do some training on possibly how to get more hands-on things going. The second thing is science on the farm with K1 and so a science farm lab in the classroom for two days which would be $1,100 and a science a van which would be $750. So it's a pretty low cost to get that hands-on education for our students. Um the next thing on our agenda was the ELA and math curriculum updates. Uh Spencer talked about the training that's coming up for teachers. Um the maps, um Jamie reviewed the um clusters by
046grade level and uh 70% is um I'm not sure what major means on this report, but anyway, I'm just going to tell you what it was there. She she showed us the maps that she is starting to get together and uh The curriculum clusters have been done by grade level and they are very close to having the maps ready to go online. Uh she also has curriculum camp dates August 18 through 19 which we already talked about and um the coaching visits she listed out uh the credit then next uh we talked about credit recovery Chris Chris Juel uh serviced 71 students for that 116 courses were completed in that time uh 27 in math 25 in the LA 27 in science, 11 in social studies, and 26 electives were all completed by students. Um
047then we talked about summer school and we scheduled scheduled which we already talked about. Kindergarten enrollment is only at the during that date. It may be changed by now, but there are only 77 students enrolled for kindergarten coming up next year, which would make us pretty small class of of students for that year, but we're hoping more will come. Uh Spencer talked about the um my mind. It talked Spencer talked about the preschool enrollment already. We have enough for two sessions. And the last thing we talked about was a new hire. Alexa Moer, which I'm guessing is right there, [Music] has been hired as as hired to be approved tonight for a third grade teacher. And that is the end of our meeting. Any questions? Um, so we we also talked approval of which was
048in the notes but approval of the ELA curriculum. Last month we had the first reading. This month we are have we would like a motion to approve the five-year ELA curriculum with novels included for grades 7 through 12 from SA Savas in the amount of $126,232 and any questions about the program or >> this will allow us uh to approve today. Just so that you're aware, I just talked about the uh English ling English language arts curriculum project for next year. It's based on these resources. So, um hopefully if it is approved this evening, we can order the resources in the morning and then they will be here by the 18th and 19th for the teachers to to actually have in hand and use for the curriculum kit. >> Yes. And Jamie did tell me
049that the order is all ready to go. It has to be sent so that hopefully they're here in time. questions. I know our English curriculum in 712 is definitely needed be replaced at this. So, I need a motion to approve the 5-year ELA curriculum for included for grades 7 through 12 from SAS in the amount of $126,232. >> I'll make that motion. support >> made by Deb, support by Travis. Any further questions or concerns? >> Luke Kakusky. >> Yep. >> Richard Pon, >> yes. >> Tim Tarot, >> yes. >> Deb Buuner, >> yes. >> Matt Larch, >> yes. >> Travis Neville, >> yes. >> Julie Loila, >> yes. Okay. So, the next thing on our agenda is the approval to hire Alexis Boer at as the third grade teacher for the 2526 school year. >>
050And eventually, I was going to introduce her. Go ahead and step up real quick and let us know what we're doing. >> You don't mind? Yeah. >> Stepping up. >> So, Alexa Moer Moser Moser. Um, we interviewed her a couple weeks ago now um for our third grade position. She has a BS elementary education. Um, you know, I'll tell you, we had our whole third grade team was there. Uh, and and she student taught at Paskki. She's substitute taught since then. She graduated in December, I believe. Um, but I'll tell you, when we interviewed her, uh, the team was pretty quick to to make a decision. Um, so we would like to recommend Alexa for the third grade position. Um, we're very excited to have her. Very upbeat personality and I think would fit perfectly
051with our team. So, >> Alexa, do you have anything you'd like to share with us? Um, I was born and raised here. I'm hoping to stay here, so I'm hoping to get a job in the area so I can stay here. Um, I'm getting married soon, so my last name will change. Um, but yeah, that's pretty much everything. >> Great. Thank you for joining us tonight, too. >> Thank you for having me. Questions? So I motion. >> I'll make that motion. Support. >> Motion made by Travis, supported by Matt. >> Any other discussion? Chris. >> Luke. Kakuski. >> Yep. >> Richard Keon. >> Yes. >> Tim Tarject. >> Yes. >> Debuner. >> Yes. Matt Luk. >> Yes. Travis Neville. >> Yes. >> Julie Loila. Yes. Well, welcome. >> Congratulations. Welcome. >> Congratulations. >> Can we
052get before I before you run off, can we get some pictures and put them on the website? Uh, Ben, before uh >> Sure. >> of her new teacher. >> Okay. So, the next thing on our agenda agenda is the approval of the MHSA resolution amendment. Uh, we had the original uh it said Shabboan High School on it. So, it was kicked back to us by MH SS MHSA and the revised says Shboen 7 through 8. That's what it needs to say on it. So, it was just kicked back for that reason. So we just would like to change that to 78 and resubmit it. >> It was a title. >> It was a table. Yes. So uh I need a motion to approve the M ha amendment change in the wording from Shbboan High School
053to Shbuen 7 through 8 in the name of member junior high middle school section for the 202526 school year. I'll make the motion to approve that amendment. >> Motion made by Tim. >> Support by Rich. Any questions? Chris Kausski. >> Yep. >> Richard Elon. >> Yes. >> Tim Tar. >> Yes. >> Deborah Buer. >> Yes. >> Matt Malar. >> Yes. >> Travis Neville. >> Yes. >> Julie Loila. >> Yes. The next thing is approval the approval of uh Spencer has gone through um them. So we'll just go through each amendment. I mean yeah each each approval. So the first one is um GRSP. Any questions about that? Any other questions for Spencer? Okay. So, I need a motion to approve GRSP preK Friday planning time. >> I'll make that motion. >> Motion made by Deb.

Any questions about why that why we need that or why that's happening or anything discussion? Okay. So, I need a motion to approve the secretary intermediate school reconfiguration agreement. >> I'll make that motion. >> I support it. >> Motion made by Travis, supported by Luke. Questions, discussion? Chris Luke Kusky. >> Yep. Richard Pean, >> yes. >> Tim Tarot, >> yes. >> Deborah Buuner, >> yes. >> Matt Malar, >> yes. >> Travis Neville, >> yes. >> Julie Loila, >> yes. >> Okay, we moved on to stable finances from on the agenda from there. So, we have a uh finance building and grounds committee report from Rich. >> Yep. The meeting was held last Tuesday, July
05622nd. First up was Jordan IT guy and this doesn't really require a board approval or anything but he talked to us about cyber security training for everyone on the system including us as board members and he is pro proposing to work with a company called no before same company that was at our company and so what will happen is you will get quarterly training say you need to log in do this training learn about cyber security, fishing, things like that. Then every once in a while you will get an email or something that if you don't click, if you click on it, it pops up. It says you just did fish. >> So the front line of defense for any hacking is really every employee that's on the system. That's really the most critical thing.
057I mean they and they're going to go after their low-level employees and board members who don't do it a lot. But uh he told us that uh It's about 10,000 a year and it would be it also has the program where if there is a true fishing email sent or ransomware sent someone clicks on it as fish it will actually quarantine it within our system and no one else will get to it. So it it's just it's frontline defense for cyber security for everybody and it's a learning thing. There's also a quarterly newsletter that's sent out to everybody just to learn about what ransomware is, malware is, text messages. I mean, I don't know how many text message I got from Michigan Department of Transportation say I owe poles. There are none in Michigan. So,
058you know, it's just stuff like that. But it's really it's good. It's a good company. I've been with it or I've been using it at our previous company for the last couple years. Uh he did give an example of Trevor City paid over a million in ransom in 2023 because it got hacked and shut down. I think Spencer's computer's been hacked before. Johannesburg had a breach in 2019 also. So, it's something that, you know, he presented and we all thought it was a great idea, but doesn't really need board approval at this point. He also updated us on uh Chromebooks. 150 new Chromebooks have been purchased. Uh we've spent about 130K already with about another 20K expected. The East Elementary renovation will include major technology costs moving forward. All the BenQ boards have been updated
059districtwide, but his concern, he brought it up, is in 2027 and 2029, a lot of these uh devices will each reach end of life. So, we're going to have a major impact financially in those school years to replace these older Chromebooks. He's been trying to buy some every so often, but uh we better be prepared for that one. Uh it was also reported about a lawsuit again from Marlin uh this annual legal expense for the district. So it's been consulted with our legal council dair how to prevent future filings and next steps taken. We talked about the new third grade teacher. Congratulations. Uh we also talked about temporary safety supervisor positions being hired through edgy staff. One for the high school, one for the middle school. These guys are safety supervisors. They will have radios
060or walkie-talkies or whatever. And it's really another set of eyes and ears for Marty to use and for Ben to use during lunch hours in and out warning parking lots, things like that. So I think and the best thing is they actually will report to Ben and Marty, but there there'll be Shabboan school employees, not sheriff's employees. So, we're hoping an additional set of ears and eyes walking through the buildings, getting to know the kids and everything. I think that'll be a great thing. So, we're looking to, I think, post that eventually, pretty quickly. >> Pretty soon. >> Yep. Uh, buildings and grounds, a fork truck is currently 46 years old. It's pretty old. He's got two on the line, used ones. One for like 19k, a cat forklift. Another one's a 2011 Toyota forklift
061for a little bit more expensive, but he's not making a recommendation at this time yet. Uh Tim brought up about getting some of the things rebuilt. We suggest maybe even letting the automotive students work in the bus garage after school possibly and training like changing oils on the buses. Just these guys are an automotive shop. Maybe they want to do some after school stuff. So Spencer is going to talk to James Lafner about that uh facility we Oh, middle school sidewalks. I don't know if anyone's been by there lately, but they had a bunch of construction going on. Middle that it's just repairing the sidewalks. Trip has it. Uh the tennis courts we talked about. I think we've adjusted the scope of the work to try and bring it in under budget. uh East Elementary.
062Uh, one of the things we had site logic here and you know with the track pretty much every project we've been involved in in the last couple months or so has been severely underbudgeted or overestimated I don't or underestimated and one of the things about our concerns is East Elementary at 10.1 I just think it's going to come in a lot higher so it's just something we made site logic very aware so they are trying to get more more bidding on it. Uh there was a classroom request to rewire it. Uh which is not a cheap thing, but we decided after discussion that let's just get them into that classroom first. See how it works out because if he wants it change, someone else is going to want to change. Pretty soon we're going to
063be doing a bunch of electrical work, which really don't need to unless it's an actual issue. So we kind of said, let's see how it goes and we'll look at it again in January or February. Uh, one of the things we talked to Steve about is that we'd like to start getting from Steve for these finance and buildings and grounds meetings is a uh, project list saying, you know, hey, tennis courts went off for a bit here. Here's a cost. Here's when it's going to be done. Just bullet point project list so we can start to track what ones are being done, what it's costing, how much it's complete, things like that. So, he said he'll start providing that. He actually said he used to provide it years ago, but got away from him, but
064now we're going to get back to it. Uh, and then we talked, Spencer talked about online schooling again. Uh, we talked about some schooling, online schooling down in uh, southern Michigan that actually uh, makes money on it. And so potentially we need to look at how can we make our online schooling more effective and attract some of these homeschool students. And then the meeting was adjourned at 11:45. Any questions for Rich? >> So, the only thing to be armed with is radios. >> Radios. Yeah. No arm guards. >> Okay. >> Just radio >> swarm around. >> Although I think Ben did say they're going to give them these nice shboan shirts or something like that. >> SWAT jackets or police. >> Nothing like that. All right. >> They they would be noticeable. is not a
065stranger walking through. They'll have some sort of dress code and stuff. So, >> and we just did get new radios that actually you can go from middle school to high school. You can you can connect with each other. Correct. >> Oh, yeah. We >> Yeah. So, you guys will be all on the same frequency and even though they're in separate buildings, they'll be able to communicate with each other. >> Okay. And then we need to do the payment of bills. >> So, we need to acknowledge the payment of bills. So we I need a motion to acknowledge the payment of the regular and bond invoices in the amount of $279,9957. >> We're disagreeing that we paid it. That's paid. >> We're just acknowledging that. >> We're just that they're paid, right? >> Yeah. Yeah. We're
066just acknowledging that. >> I'll make that motion. >> Uh motion made by Travis. >> Support. support by Rich. Right. Rich. >> Yep. >> Questions. >> Luke Kakuski. >> Yep. >> Richie Pan. >> Yes. >> Tim Tarek. >> Yes. >> Deborah Buuner. >> Yes. >> Matt Marchek. >> Yes. >> Travis Neville. >> Yes. >> And Julie Loila. >> Yes. >> Okay. The next thing on our agenda is the athletic committee update with Travis. >> Sponsored by Travis. brought to you by >> um all right, first thing we talked about is multiport athlete participation. Uh we want coaches to never dissuade kids from playing other sports. We want multiport athletes if they're going to go to be college athletes. That's what college coach wants. Coaches want and it just gives them a more well-rounded experience. So, anything
067we can do to make that happen to that end, we created a head coaches um only email group where they can all talk to each other and put out, oh, we're doing pictures on this day or we got this so there's less interference so they don't bump into each other as much and that will help the kids be able to be in more sports. We also talked about working one day to try to get a female uh FAP class. So having a girls only with a female instructor if we could find her uh you know athletic performance class be great. We think we get more girls involved in it. That's a thing we're going to keep kind of looking towards. See if we can find that down the road. Um let's see. And we think
068that's going to help us as far as any potential title n concerns. That would be good. Academic standards. This was a big one. Right. Current currently those academic checks for athletes are being done every six weeks. Uh we feel strongly that's just not enough. So we are going to go with the support of our administration at the high school. We're going to go to weekly. Uh there are coaches who are already doing this. Bill Nesb for example, head football coach has his kids go around every every week to their teachers and have a grade filled out and he goes through them on the weekends. And you know, anything that's going to help kids be successful. This is not a gotcha thing. We're not trying to get kids kicked off teams, nothing like that. We want
069to get support to the kids who need support. And if if it's six weeks down the road, imagine how far behind they might be. I mean, that's a hole they can't crawl out of. So, we got to be more on top of it. That's our job, right? We're trying to get that to be more successful. So, uh we are going to move to that. We don't know exactly how we'll do it, but we'll structure it over the next few weeks here before school starts. Uh let's see. Hall of Fame discussion. We talked about uh our Hall of Fame display, which we haven't fully figured out how we're going to do that yet, but we've got this screen that we think we're going to do. Um, and we had someone bring up, hey, can we do
070stuff other than sports in our Hall of Fame? Of course, we can. Um, there, you know, if we have somebody who leaves here and becomes a senator, why would they not be in our Hall of Fame? It's not just an athletics hall of fame, it's a high school hall of fame. So, of course, we'll add those things in there. We think that'll be a great way to bring other people back into the community. somebody's doing things well enough to be in the Hall of Fame. Why would we not want them coming around talking to our kids, being at being at events, things like that? We can only win in that situation. Uh MSAA is telling us that all coaches are going to need CPR and AED training, which hey, why not? Um the only we're
071waiting for, they haven't they haven't said that for sure yet. us on a done deal. But once they do that, we're hoping they're going to pro provide us with some resources so we're not all Googling, hey, how do we get a how do we get CPR certified? Right? So, we got to figure that out. That's coming. But it looks like that's going to happen. We're looking to Jason, our athletic director, proposed adding a third team for middle school volleyball, boys basketball, and girls basketball. And it correct me if I'm wrong, Matt, but it would look like this. So you have two 12 person teams and they both play on the same night. Maybe four kids from each team didn't really get any playing time. Well then there'd be another game after that just the kids
072who didn't play. Uh the idea being we're going to get a lot more participation. You just never know who's going to grow, who's going to develop and we give a chance to get that game experience which is incredibly valuable. Uh that would be a good thing. So we'll see how that would go. We'd have to do something with the teacher contract to get that done. So a lot of things up in the air right now, but we're hoping we can do that. Uh staffing and facility updates. Let's see. We hired a new assistant hockey coach named Ed Ryan. Uh brings with him a ton of experience. Pretty exciting to have him there. Um so we're looking forward to that. We have ordered new wall pads for under the game baskets in the gym. Uh sounds
073like they're pretty cool. One, they're both black. One side has the Chiefs logo this thing. The other side says Chiefs. Um so real nice finishing touch to our new high school gym. Pretty excited about that. and conference banners should be installed before the start of the school year. I think that's going to happen the next couple weeks here from what Jason said. Looking forward to the fall here and fall coaches meeting will be Monday, July 28th at 6 p.m. That's for all fall coaches. Uh and then after that, we'll have a fall parent and player meeting to disseminate some of the information talked about in the coaches meeting. Uh that's that's a TBD. We don't know the date yet on that. But we're going to talk about academics behavior, our new once a week grade
074checks, uh review of the athletic code of conduct, uh and you know the revisions of that code of conduct. We'll cover that next week as well. So, lots to cover. Soccer in the fall will be at Gordon Field, uh because the track and soccer field are getting torn up, redone, which is really exciting. We're glad to have that going on. Uh let's see. Wrestling mats. We got a quote. So, it sounds like we have one set of mats maybe pretty old and when we have anything going on hosting it, we have to borrow wrestling mats from Pelston and they're sold that they don't even have a wrestling team anymore. So, we've asked the wrestling coach to give us quotes for a new one. They gave us one quote just to make sure we're not spending
075too much money. We've now asked for a second quote and then we can order that. That'll probably happen in the fall, but pretty small amount of money. $12,000 might sound like a lot, but we spend larger amounts on different things. Uh, let's see. Jason asked if we could or Spencer asked if we could get the band in the Fourth of July parade. Great idea. Jason said that it's going to be difficult to assemble kids on that weekend and that makes sense. So, we'll see. Something we can look into, but uh hey, why not? Why don't we have a presence at 4th of July break out? You know, also with uh support of our administrators and the athletic department, we are going to make some changes to letting kids in to sporting events as well as
076adults. I think we've gone to 5210. Is that correct? >> Uh yeah, I believe Marty and I have been talking to 510 and veterans and senior citizens uh enter for free. >> I think that's a great deal. We Why would we not want these veterans and senior citizens coming being a part of their games, maybe watching their grandchildren or whatever it might be. And gez uh yeah, anything that we can do to get more participation, get more people at the games. >> Everyone we talked to has been in significant support. Now, I've talked with Jason a little bit. I know he has some concerns about it uh possibly impeding on the season tickets that they sell. Sometimes they, you know, that that that number may be down, but I don't, you know, I'd rather uh
077charge less and have more kids at more events supporting their teams >> 100%. That's the worrying about that. Yeah. >> Yeah. If we can do that, whatever we got to do to make that happen. >> Uh that was it. We journed the meeting and felt pretty good about it. Thanks. Any questions? >> The next thing on our agenda is the safety update. Tim, >> uh our last uh safety committee meeting convened at the uh uh intermediate school last Thursday at 10:00 for a tour that Ben and Ashley put on for us. uh we convene in the in the library and had a you know had a a brief discussion in there before we moved throughout the building and outside. Uh some of the subject that were touched on where the radios seem to be working
078well. The number one thing is intermediate school has a whole lot less concerns than the high school. Some of them are related but by comparison they really don't have a lot to to deal with. Um, I think the bathroom doors were still relevant in the in the intermediate school as far as whether they're going to be kept open. >> They're always propped open, but we actually put locks on them in case there is a lock down where they can shut. >> Yeah. Um, uh, we examine the student movement throughout the building, which seemed they had it well under control and well planned out how that was going to be handled. um talked about briefly about the main entrance awning that's supposed to protect uh uh kids getting dropped off and picked up and that's still
079in the works as well >> from weather. Are you talking about the weather? Yeah. Uh we're still waiting for the drawings from the architect and then I'll go out to bid and see how much that might cost and then consider the reality of doing it. And if we're going to do it, we want to get it done in the fall before the harsh weather comes in the winter. Especially with second grade students being moved over there, sometimes for pickup in particular at the end of the school day, those kids are out there in lines and out there sometimes for 20 minutes, 30 minutes waiting. By the time, you know, the car in the back gets all the way around to the front. Uh you can be outside for quite some time. >> That's a pretty
080long walk from the entrance to the >> Yeah. So, >> um, took a walk outside and, uh, Ben was showing us the basketball court up there out there and trying to secure that in terms of a fence around the entire the entire area there because kids go out there. >> Yeah. Just turn just the whole recesses area like if you go on the west side of the building where the four now fourth grade hallway is, where all our playground is, and then the basketball courts, it's all open. We had a guy. >> Yeah, we're looking to add fence in a whole bunch of different places, too. So, we want to make sure if we get a quote, you know, we're going to need new fence around the tennis courts. We're talking about fencing around some
081of our CTE areas uh to provide a more um secure instructional environment. And then also over in the middle school, I think yours would be a real easy kind of if you just ran from the track right down to the parking lot. That's not much fence at all, actually. So, we just need to make sure that we get all of those in that a bit and we start having some of these fencing companies come in and take a look at our our fencing needs. >> Well, jumping over to the high school, I went out and did a little recon on other schools in Michigan, basically friends and family members that could go out and take pictures of their schools to see how they were dealing with security around their CT areas or where they had
082large rollup doors. and I couldn't find anybody that was fencing any of those, securing any of those areas, which doesn't mean we shouldn't consider securing ours. But that's just one counterargument to to fencing in the CTE area out there. So, we're going to have to collectively decide what's uh what's what's more uh where the value is there. Um, I think that's about all I got for this round. >> Any questions for about anything going on with the safety committee? >> Next on our agenda is the policy committee report. >> I know policy is so exciting and my list is really long, but I'm promise I'll try to do as quickly as possible. >> I I know you have Uh basically we just updated some forms in our first series that thousand series um just adding
083names to places and how to get a hold of people that kind of thing. in our bylaw sections which is series 2 2000. Um the first few were just updating of forms again 21104 we chose not to add some uh optional language to allow a student representative on the school board. Um the next one 2305 B3A. Did you get that? >> Yeah. We updated the cap for reimbursement of meals for if me board members are away at a conference so that it matches the same amount in the teachers contract and I couldn't remember that number. I think it was $40 but >> $40 a day. >> I don't want anybody to sue us over that. We updated it to match. Uh chose not to include language that would allow board member compensation. Um if you
084guys don't agree with that, we of course could discuss that. But at the time we felt that probably we're doing this as our civil due and we don't need compensation. But if you'd like to I'm just saying it's up for discussion otherwise we made your decision. Um 2403 we clarified that board seats are for four-year terms and that we have sever seven member board. We did look into um because three of us were appointed last October. We checked with the lawyers. Nobody has to do anything until next election. >> I know every um board member who is appointed has to run in the next election. >> So the three of us that were employed in order. >> You don't have to run. >> Correct. If you want to stay, you need to run for Yes.
085>> Okay. >> Um >> well, you do have to stay. Well, there was that debate as well. No, 2405. We chose not to add any language um that would say our board treasurer could be a non-member. We like Matt right where he is. Um 251A was new in that um we provide a way for members to still be able to come to the meeting remotely as long as they give the superintendent at least 24 hours notice >> and they have to be a veteran or um what was the other thing? It's not it's not anybody can't like we cannot random we can't do that unless you're called away on duty or you're um so it has to be We should check though that Luke might that might apply to Luke and his and his legal
086duties and whatnot. Oh, might be something we want to check. >> Yeah, there there's some more language in there that policy need to open that up. >> All right. >> A little bit further. >> We also just went with the guideline that if it was optional language and it was going to constrict us more, we chose not to add it. So just so you know where we were headed with that. Um we clarified in 254 that public comment is going to remain at that five minute level uh limit during our meetings. Um not much new if you jump down in the 3000 series with me. That all addresses our operations finance and property stuff. Um we sent 3202 to the finance committee because it is re um we have to set a minimum fund balance
087and we agreed to it as a board but it's not in our policy. So before Julie and I felt we didn't have um that was more of a finance committee. So if we want to stick with the 25% then you we need you to bring that back to us next month. But the real deal is we also need to clarify if we hit that 25% what steps are we going to make or take from there. Does that mean immediately we're going to start laying people off? What does it mean? So that's something for finance committee to discuss further. Um 3208 clarified which of our central office members are shy bonded for um it's not for 3,000. was 300,000, wasn't it? Yep. I missed a zero or a couple. Sorry. Um, we chose not to add
088language for board members to be able to use just a credit card. Um, we identified that we have a $10,000 maximum donation without board approval. So, Spencer could accept up to $10,000 donationship for us without approval. No changes in that next batch. Um, we did add language in our policies to make sure there was Narcan or a similar opiate recovery medicational available in all buildings. So, principles, if you make sure you have non-expired Narcan, that would be handy. Um then 3501 we added language to allow for a fee for any foyer request and identified that those all get sent to Marleene. She's so excited about that. Um so that's the first batch of the updates we need to do for this school year. We're meeting again on the 12th and then we'll bring you the
089next batch at next month's meeting. Just one quick note on the 12th. I think we're going to be able to probably get through the rest of the readings, right? >> Yeah. >> And then also, we were asking the building principles to be there, but they're not going to be able to make it on the 12th because they have mandatory CPI training that day at the COPD. So, after talking with Julie this morning, we're going to go ahead and keep that date and time and just finish it up and then we'll update the principles when they return. >> Okay. Any questions about policy? Okay. So, we need a motion to approve the series 1,00 2000 3000 through 30 351 except which is being sent to the finance committee to help determine a um fund balance. And
090I'll make that motion. >> I'll support >> a motion. Motion made by Deb, supported by Travis. >> We're still going forward with the 251 that2. That would be allowing board members to attend remotely. >> Um, we you know what? Let's bring that actual language up. because there was specific language in there. >> There is specific language there specifically why there are certificals disability where my phone is but I can pull up that you can see it on it goes on the website. >> You want me to grab it and probably be better >> faster. Faster. Yeah, probably >> because there are um there's leg there's legal reasons, Luke. >> Yes, >> I'm very curious about this. >> There's legal reasons on when we can and cannot zoom in. So, we just couldn't say, well, I'm
091it's snowy. This is this is a reason I would use it's too the roads are too snowy. I'm going to zoom in. But I we can't have elder there's only certain people and and I remember veterans and um if they are >> um active duty >> on active duty if they're called out for some reason um >> duty called you can't tell no >> you can't just say no >> I think so >> feel save my life. It's all depends on >> Well, and part of the intent I remember we talked about it wasn't so like we were going into a vote and we wanted it to go a particular way so we could call somebody that wasn't going to be able to be here to be able to zoom in to vote to change
092>> the way the vote went. So, it's a protection against that. And now that you say that, one of the things might be if we didn't have a quorum and we could get one more person that way because if we did have a quum, we we can't have the meeting without four people. >> So we could allow one person to zoom in. >> Why don't you read it out so >> just that one section that says the restriction >> definition? Is there a part that says >> permissible reasons? board member was not physically present at an inerson board meeting due to military duty disability within the meaning of the word uh ADA other reasons permitted by Michigan law may be counted towards a quorum deliberate and vote qualified members absent from your military service must
093follow procedures listed in section D below unless otherwise provided any board member who is not absent into the disqualifier the qualifying exception must be physically present at this participating. So procedure for the military duty board member is remote two-way communication doesn't say much about the what service they have in active I don't have any problem with that like we did. >> I think that sounds appropriate. >> Any other questions about any other? >> I don't think so. It's pretty restrictive >> and also the military. So, >> all right. So, we have a motion on the floor that has been made by Deb and supported by Travis. Is there any other discussion about that motion? See, Chris, >> yep. >> Richard Keon, >> yes. >> Tim Harda, >> yes. >> Deborah Buuner, >> yes. >> Matt
094March, >> yes. >> Travis Neville, >> yes. >> Julie, >> yes. >> Okay. Now, uh for public comment, would any would like to come to the podium and speak? No. All right. Um, seeing none, then I need a motion uh to move into close session. >> I'll make that motion >> for the purpose of superintendent evaluation. >> Support. >> Motion made by Travis. Support by Tim >> Chris. >> Yep. >> Richard Pan. >> Yes. >> Tim Tarop. Yes. >> Deborah Buunner. >> Yes. >> Mhek. >> Yes. >> Travis Neville. >> Yes. >> Julie. >> Yes. >> So, it is 8:46. >> 7:46. >> Uh, so we're going to turn the camera off and then we're gonna ask everybody to leave. [Applause] So after discussion of the approval for for a superintendent final evaluation rating, I
095need an approval of a effective >> effective rating. I need a motion. Did I say motion? >> Said approval. >> Oh yes.
