011um wrestling for the season the girls basketball tournament is the week of the 7 17 so that will be done by the 20th and the track starts on March 24th so a busy quick turnaround there and the Middle School continues to add club sports so we now offer this spring um softball baseball soccer and hot off the press golf will be a spring claw that sport as well so in some previous updates I mentioned that car cel's been working with a few kids on the design challenge um so that was a a piece that we were invited in only have three middle schools around the county that were invited in a pilot of that so it works on the design thinking process um so it's really just a design you're looking for what's your problem
012and getting feedback from your users and then you design something and game feedback and work into a full like try bring that to fruition um we were invited because we've had eight of our teachers at the middle school have been trained through the Henry Fort learning Institute on the design process uh so that we had a team of uh four boys Logan Krauss Jake field with L and John iers worked during lunch and after school with Mrs Cel and Mrs Bradfield and they had to come up with the design around the challenge to take a local kind a community space do something to that space to encourage more people to use the space so they get partnered with local businesses and then the Kendall Art and Design so catchmark was uh our sponsor here locally
013that was working with them so thanks to catchmark they came in these some feedback listen to the presentation they went to the rotary and presented uh and then they went to uh in Grand Rapids where they have the the design challenge um day and all the middle schools around um it was Kent Ottawa and mosan that were involved in that so there were over 30 middle schools in this first one um the kids had a great time they got to do their their pitch for what they designed um which was um an a electric piano that was outside solar power so you could come by and enjoy the music and you can have all kinds of you can make it streams and horns and whatever play outside and everyone could come enjoy the space um
014and they wanted to make it portable so you can move it around the community different events so um that was their design so then the Kendall um art students made like a poster that had kind of a mockup of what they were thinking out their design and some stuff on it so um they they thought they were really big stuff go there present things came dress them ties and everything so uh it was a great day everyone had a great time um so it looks like that kind of thing will be a yearly event and that middle schools will be able to enter teams across our count continue that so definitely something that our kids want to continue to be inv in thank you Mr [Music] bro well we've been busy at rro as well
015um since I last spoke to you we held a second grade music concert that was well attended and enjoyed by all um our pilot teachers for ELA also attend a learning lab um over in mon Shores to watch our current pilot program which is bookworms to watch it in action and then actually over midwinter break some teachers also travel to Kent City to watch the teachers there using the program on February 19th we launched our book blast and that's that program I mentioned last month where students can send out a message to family and friends to support them in ordering these books and um ultimately though um the goal is to get books in the hands of students and no matter what every student gets at least one book some students will end up with
016five or six some maybe 10 but every student will get one book um Co school started last month so they'll finish that up by the end of March and the principles myself and our special ed supervisor we attended a session at the ISD called Legal discipline so just um more information for us on how to um follow the law in terms of suspensions and seclusions and restraints um regarding um our general Ed population as well as our special ed students um we welcome the state qualifiers in wrestling and buly as they swung by and we did the high fives and and so forth the kids love being outside fortunately it was it was chilly but it was a beautiful Sunday so it's always fun to celebrate the accomplishments of the older students um we held
017our monthly hero assembly last month at the end of the month but that also was our kickoff to March's reading month and for March's reading month each grade level has a theme and so they kind of stick to that theme throughout the month and um we're trying something new this year whereas in the cafeteria each week on Monday or Tuesday and maybe even into Wednesday the students listen to a book on the overhead projector and then that book somehow in the book there is reference to some food item it could be berries it could be Donuts it could be spinach and then I've worked with Dan Gorman in food service so then he makes that food available for them on Wednesday so it's kind of called taste test Wednesday so then the kids get to
018taste those items um and then we'll finish off the month of March with our Don with VIPs which is when we invite parents and family and friends to come and have donuts with our students and then after spring break we'll kick off at at both the map and R our one school one book initiative which is with that book glast The One book that we are going to have is called favorite stories Humphrey so it's three stories in one it's the first three stories in the series so every student will get that and then we'll have games and prizes and assignments of with nightly reading for families to look at um to enjoy the book together and as Christie and Jim both alluded to our committees have been meeting um the PBIS team has been
019working with the ISD to strengthen those is our PBS program both in um our expectations our incentives our rewards um pretty much everything that has to do with our Positive Behavior Support um academic team is really looking for closely about where we want to go with cive writing so that will probably be something that we will want to weigh in with you and with parents as well as you know there recently there's been legislation that's kind of hung out there but never really makes it um but yet um you know it's important that we CH teach children how to write they do have to learn how to write their name in person but is that something that we want to continue to um promote knowing that we are you know a technology world and they're
020typing a lot and using the computer so we really have to find a balance but yet have a consistent expectation throughout the school district um our culture and Community um committee they have been looking a lot at how we can strengthen that relationship with parents so they're looking at trying to get more Volunteers in the classroom um they've been attending more PTO meetings which is nice to see and then I'm happy to say that our Ela pilot group made a decision last Wednesday um we had a 2-hour meeting where they had an opportunity to share their thoughts and and really reflect on this pilot similarly how they did with the E curriculum and they have chosen bookworms so either in the April or May meeting we will come to you and we'll have a presentation
021for you about that program and uh why are you we are recommending it to you to improve and also um to provide you some of the materials and then last but not least um we have a West um Michigan Teacher collaborative candidate her name is Carrie Briggs she's currently one of our um LR Paris at rro and she has been she actually had a bachelor's degree prior to um enrolling in the program but now she is getting a certification in education and and so um this spring she will be finished up she's doing her student teaching at rro right now um and she'll be doing her observations uh pretty much this spring and then she'll be done so that'll be our first candidate that has come out of that program and so depending on what
022our job situation looks like she may or may not be joining the ranks of teachers but the good news is it's been real successful from at least our standpoint with carry and then a shout out to both mccormix and dogin sets I just have to tell you our PTO puts on I don't know if you've heard about it pickles and popcorn I know it doesn't sound like the two go together but I knew from a previous experience that it does go together and the kids love it but dogin saids orders the pickles at cost and then they keep them refrigerated for us and then M cormix other than the classrooms that have an allergy they pop the popcorn and bang it and deliver it and everything lost and so we paid just a bare so
023I shout out to those two organizations for all their support thank you thank you so much all right moving on to superintendent oh I'm sorry how dare I forget the back I'm soorry this is stman and the M how could I forget about our litts anyway so we had our golden assembly we gotten this probably last week we had a special guest Monty came over and did high fives and did the YMCA with us and did all kinds of things and we had this burner's class they got golden missile behavior in the playground and was the ninja so they are very and God's class got the boot and Flint the spatula which is a we were all asking her to cook us something with her spatula and so then we had our reading mon cup
024which is our Su on loose and every week we have B authors and each week ends again the help of food service we have some celebrations so last week it was um Dr su's hats that we made with strawberries and bananas and this week we're making waffle dragons to go with our da books and I did all those other things Pilots um the legal discipline okay so all of those things and then uh I want to encourage if you know any preschoolers the preschool White Light Community ad is having their registration on the 18th of March so if you have any students that you think would qualify for free school that would be awesome we also have our Roundup on um the 25th of April so we'll be encouraging we have a currently we have
025about the same numbers at this time time that we had last year as far as predicting Kathy's really good at kind of predicting where we are and so basically the same as last year so if you know any students that call by kindergarten that would be awesome and then I also have to get like you're going to talk about Lauren Ritter and I just want to talk about her for a second we hired her at the mac and she is awesome she used to work at dogar branch and she has a therapy dog super that she brings to Ed Ken Smith kind of a Ken Smith personality and so we're very lucky to have her on board thank you so much I apologize for being too quick of moving into the superintendent comments um in
026the superintendent comments you see new hirers you just heard about Lauren rard she does have a master's degree from baret college in Illinois um and she has been a nice addition to our uh Mac as a have this far um moving into other comments um please take a look at the new website mapsk12 org uh we made some tweaks and changes on that so uh please by all means if you have pictures or uh you know events that you are at and take some pictures send them to Michelle we're always looking to add new pictures to our website so if you have those uh please share those with us um prior to this meeting we did have a building site uh committee meeting um just to give a little recap we kind of had an
027agenda uh that talked around the sinking fund updates the bond updates uh looking at our PR properties and uh title updates as well as a gym tour um so just kind of running through those um just as of March 1st our sinking fund balance is $66,872 [Music] at monteu high school ones that were um having trouble and and we we working through those we are currently working through um the architecture of our fire suppression systems and that is a costly expenditure we're we're being conservative on our numbers but looking at a almost a $400,000 investment into our fire suppression systems and making sure that we have those um not sure if it'll be fully completed by the end of June 30 but um we'll start working towards that and that's where a big chunk of
028our next monies are go that would leave us approximately $185,000 uh at the Year's End uh which when we would gain more moving into the next year um looking to put our next Focus towards rofs uh here within the building uh or possibly parking lots and an elevator as we learn more about uh the r elevator and what uh updates might to take place there je is fire suppression just in one building or is that across SE they I mean they are in all buildings our major emphasis is here uh at three three of the buildings which would be outside of the map so here M high schoolc and school um looking at the bond the gym is very close to completion we're into the punch list items and meeting with some uh vendors on
029some different things that we are uh looking to get finished up or change in that process uh the final invoices should be coming through but it should leave us um approximately 1.6 million to move in towards the EG bar that would be already started with the architecture of moving towards the Egg Bar um from there we will then move into the auditorium upgrades and the U Memorial Field or the soccer field there are some of the upgrades to the entry uh um concession stand here so that would be moving forward on that um and then property title updates we are still working with trune Law Firm we're taking all the documents from uh anywhere from early late 1800s early uh 1930 properties and titles and we worked it with our law firm and they're actually
030getting um them put together and they're they're working with the title um groups to actually get us the the the true titles for that then we'll have every property that we have how many acres what we can do with it what we can't do with it just give us a better understanding of all our properties here within the district as much as we have an overall idea like yeah we own this property and this but what can we do how did we gain it who who did we get that from all that information which will be nice um so we'll continue to work through that uh as well um moving on to um I'm sure I I had actually sent to you uh weling a new football coach here to the district Phil cops uh
031from Hamilton I'll have him at a future agenda item as far as moving forward as as far as the teacher aspect but we are excited to have him I will be we're currently working and we will be entering into another transport Transportation agreement for electric force uh this upcoming year so same contract uh that we had worked at with previously uh making some changes to that to include some additional buses uh from Shelby's growing that legislatively um there's a lot going on and we're we're trying to discern uh um what what uh at a state level and at a federal level what that means for us as a school district we're getting to the point where budgets are starting to be talked about and done uh and both at a federal and a state level
032that looks like there will be um some delays in budgets so I'm trying to figure out what those budgets mean for me and trying to make the best of that for Stacy so that as we come into June to make sure that we have a presentable uh June budget for you obviously she needs to really have good understanding of what those numbers are by early May mid of May so that we can have that for the the June meeting um hopefully we can get that but both at the state level uh and a federal level I'm just not quite sure where we're going to see those numbers come in so we'll be um putting forth a budget on a conservative uh level and it probably will look into a deficit to ad and from there
033as we have done in years past we will continue to work forward and amend those budgets as we go forward um also uh in the walkth through um there is a golf room uh that is it was a multi-purpose room that uh through a generous donation by Will Cari which would will be looking to move in and naming that the will Cari golf room uh a very generous donation to the golf program and we will have two simulators in there it's a very nice Turf setup that uh uh has been done and it was uh uh very big thank you to car and as we gain more information about that I'll share with you as well um and with [Music] that we are done with superintendent comments Mr awesome on to item number eight new
034business 8A is consideration to approve the Michigan forestry company scope of work and assessment uh the suggested motion is to approve Michigan Force company loope of work in assessment move by Scott support by Joel discussion all right so you see the scope work for the Michigan Forestry uh company uh that I put in there R Pyers with the Ming Forest company is here in the back uh he has uh put through you can see the scope of work there I have since passed out you see the uh Lumber Company Timber bit and so that we're we're really how this came about is the township mon Township is uh logging some of the Red Pine out at um skills and Wick but skills in 70 seconds and wh become cuz it's right there at the county
035of Border um so from there uh the township was doing some logging it you know was a great uh thought to let's go check it ourselves since the log company is already out there uh there seemed to be uh some good pricing uh on the lumber itself uh the Red Pine is what we're looking at there is um and and Brett if I could have you you kind of come forward just just briefly to explain a little bit about the Red Pine and why we're looking at cutting Red Pine around some of the not only the SKS road but a Winston Road and mck Kinley road that we'll be talking about as well um so red pine in West Michigan over the last I would say 20 30 years when it's getting towards the end
036of its Plantation we've been seeing a lot of decline due to kind of a three Factor number one the age uh is where it's at that final part of the schedule but number two we've got deia tip light which affects the tips of the needs on the the needles themselves fungus and then number three a root Rod called AR root Rod starts to come in and you see circle patterns how to die back disas so in the we started this process at the township and the township has got a lot of dead Pockets happening we walked through it ended up putting mid sale together for uh the township I reached out to Tracy of the uh the township and to see if you guys were interested in following sup because once that Pine starts to
037die it goes very quickly um so in order to maybe capture those dollars instead of seeing them just fall over and rot on the ground now we reached out to Jeff and went for a walk and you know discovering those different pockets of dieback that are also on your property and basically all of your properties that have red kind that red kind that you know that you have at the multiple sites all has been thin and we went and witnessed that Mel Whit and PP wh forestry have done that in the past so you have a kind resource that has been taken care of over the years but it does at that point where it's at maturity it also is is facing the different diseases that you know I've outlined there so um because we
038had a really really good viid on the Dem monic Township that was why I I got a hold you guys just like it it'd be almost foolish not to have them do it while they're right next door because the price was so good for on the red so that kind of covers what's going on over there there's lots of hardwood growing up so there's lots of trees left that is going to convert to a hardwood stand and then there's quite a bit of overstory um white PL well which will stay as well and see back land BR while you're standing up you also just talk I have been working with Brett as well uh as we're moving forward I'm really coming up with a for plan for the district as a whole over time and
039I know that uh he has worked with um Mr small again and if you just talk briefly about that and how there's some granting funds available and what we could do with yeah my exact on vacation so I wasn't able to get what grant money and funding he has for school for us but so I'm backing up I'm a registered Forester with the state of Michigan I'm a degree Forest have my Master's master degree for Michigan State my goal is longterm Management on the forest as well as putting the most value out of the Timber sale into you know land owners pocket when we do carry out of Timber um Mike smalligan is the forest stewardship Program Coordinator at the state and they have a program in which uh not only private land owners can
040benefit from having forest or right management plan for their property but they actually have funds for school forests to a to have a a registered forest or come in and do some basically a robust plan for each Forest on H what is the state of growth what uh what could be done in the future what needs to be done now what basic species may there be that we need to tackle how can we grow that Forest into the future so that future classes can go out there not only recreate but learn and be able to carry out different maybe even U you got sports that are out there with Cross Country Trails and things like that or Recreation but also Fe to the egg side of things if you have orientering or anything like that
041any type of forest um learning just about horiculture or just silver culture itself on how Michigan forest grow or the kids that are interested in that and like the ISD or something like that can say hey this is the plan we have for our forest going forward this is what we've done this is what we're going to do this is how we keep it healthy these are different planting to be done or whatever like that so you can go on and on about specific Forest but it helps a school have a road map for the future when you know future boards change over and you know obviously all of us in this room at some point probably going to be around you have a good plan going forward of how to manage those so there's
042a little bit of funding that is there at for stewardship program um that may be something that the school could be interested in but I don't have a proposal today about what that cost or what offset um grants might have but that's what we're kind of exploring if you guys interested in there it's available to you but it's not a must but it it is something that you know if your school is passionate about you know learning and stewarding your Forest that's been given to you by the public the future awesome thank you so much so as you can see uh in the B there's the skills Road property which is how this uh process began which is skills Road in 72nd or um web back but then the other two properties are uh the
043first one is Easter rodway there Winston Road in 92nd um and then McKinley Road in 92nd which is just from Winston 92nd back to the South uh to mck to the east where there's an 18 acor sections there Winston Road 92nd there is some uh coming up so these these aren't mature trees at the Winston Road at the McKinley it is a small section around eight acres and correct me if I'm wrong and anything I'm saying here but that would have some good Red Pine and these are only The Cutting of Red Pine currently any additional questions or comments did you find any evidence of theia or what is it right yes so the DI pockets are where you're seeing those R pockets in there place you can especially the first one that's [Music] next
044right there I that's probably the worst one of all of them but all of them have a really good example of where it's gone almost too far is if you go to the township Nature Preserve just across the highway that's what that's probably 2 3 years advaned from where gold wood lots are at and are we any additional discussion so in our packet it was um something from machine forestry and then we got something from Lumber those y so Michigan forestry is is brat and this is his company this is the scope of his work so he takes a 15 build at 15% total sales this is the actual lumber company that viewer Vier the Logging Company in the lower Peninsula but they uh you know they got that last bid but I went out
045took some plot data and then compared it with his we came up with came up with a solid volume that's out there and he was able to put numbers to but that's how those two go together so it's 50% off of that 15% off then the um I I am out there with the loggers move them in supervise the sales to finish so that we have you know anything that needs to be back plated or smoothed out or so something happens I'm there to make sure it goes way that the school needs any additional discussion or questions um I mean I would definitely be interested in looking at plan for the future stent program yes [Music] yes that this was the program that I talked about previously uh he is on vacation so trying to
046is in Thailand Thailand so it uh it's been quite the process but I think that is something that we should especially as we're finding in these title searches and some of the work that we have went uh through that there's there's only certain things and a lot is Evol lot forestry all those lands so what can we do uh just like uh those in M Public School did years ago as far as the trees to look at the harvesting of trees in number for uh Generations down the road as well so we be in that process especially with our a um our a students here and the work that they do and how can we incorporate them in that process and with with that in mind Mike um the reason for waiting on Mike is
047he knows the grand values that he has so I want I want to give an accurate picture of that that he has there um but I've worked with when I came out of Michigan State after I graduated I worked for Michigan State so I've managed a lot of msus outling properties for 2 and 1/2 years there so we used to implement plans around a lot of hiking M certain days and all that kind of stuff so there's a lot of different options that we can just Infuse possibilities that teachers may say we didn't even know we could use our for us to to teach in this awesome so all those in favor yes oppos motion carried item 8 B is consideration to approve the 2025 26 School of Choice resolution suggest a motion to approve
048for 2025 School of Choice resolution has presented by Scott support by Amanda discussion so this is an approval every year through the M area ASD we Choice plan we do have unlimited openings in N uh currently we have 2 15 non-resident students for instance just last year though we had 32 students just within last year that took on an ad uh to our school of choice so we do it across the board um we are a winner of the World of School of Choice call it that I guess we take we take in more School of Choice students that in that process so this is something we like to do need in discussion or questions all those in favor yes opposed motion carried item 8 C is consideration of approving a representative to ATT MD
049annual budget review suggested motion is to approve whoever we decide to represent the monu Area Public Schools the MD annual budget review on May 1st 2025 um I would recommend well we need a motion so we need to figure out who we want to put in there I would recommend we have somebody from the finance committee year did you would you like to do that again okay makes sense yes so to approve Amanda do to represent monary of public schools the miic annual budget review on May 1st 2025 by SD support by Scott uh discussion so according to lives regarding Intermediate School District budgets local school district boards must adopt a resolution on the M General budget May one and June one of each year representative last year was Amanda do so I think that
050is a great pick moving forward especially she of the board appr all those in favor opposed motion carried item 8D is consideration to approve the purchase of a cargo van suggested motion is to approve the purchase of a Ford Transit cargo V for great lake scor in the amount of 49,5 $110 uh with food service funds move by it Amanda move by Amanda support by Joel special so as you saw there was three bids one from Great Lakes Ford one from cely Ford one from Max for maybe I can't read my writing but uh our current current uh food service truck has served its purpose purpose uh but presents limitations in functionality and efficiency um after evaluating the needs uh in the Food Service Mr Gorman identified uh to transition to a food service van
051which offers some advantages it has improved storage and Transportation uh enhanced Towing ability so obviously uh this van that could pack up more uh into the van and the cargo aspect of it this van is going to have enhanced towing capability with the toe package you can haul up to 6,100 lb and you'll see in our next um um approval would be a refrigerated trailer so it would be able to haul that food trailer uh especially during our summer feedings that we do around uh the district and to the north and laberry and then just special events that we do with our um refrigerat trailers as well um we would look to repurpose the existing truck and uh retire that into the district's maintenance department uh and then take the old truck obviously that is
052there probably hold on to it maybe for some f purposes uh to a certain point to where the repair of it doesn't make sense for the district to any additional discussion or questions is this the one that like they load the they cook the meals here and they take them around to the other buildings is that what that is or nope this would be for this would this would haul a um refrigerated trailer or possibly even our um outdoor like a it's like a kitchen like a little uh um food truck type trailer uh this would be utilized for that so that when we do like the summer feedings for our summer school kids or for our um in Roth B there at the rothberg day uh in that process and have the sports and
053shorts uh program that we do that this would allow to pull and put all the materials we had the truck and it it just became more of a a pain with the bed of the truck cuz people couldn't quite get into the truck where the the cargo of the van seems to fitting and then it can still tow the refrigerating trade within that process as well so there wasn't value in a higher low low roof line seems restricted for hauling things I would have surprised that there wasn't I'm sure he picked exactly what he thought yeah I I think he did um I don't know I can I I can come back with the the answers to that uh but I I do think it's it's for ease of the actual food service workers that
054they felt like H the slider doors they could get into a certain section from the back into a certain section it would allow to tow within the refrigerated trailer where they could easily get in and out of the as well and then this will help get some of those food service dollers down that we need to get is definitely a part of that is process as well yes there are plenty of ones uh for that year as well all right any additional discussion or questions all those in favor yes opposed motion carried as Jeff mentioned item 8 e is consideration to approve the purchase of a refrigerated trailer suggest a motion to approve the purchase of a refrigerated trailer from Polar King International the amount of $2,868 with food service CL move by Scott support
055by amand discuss all right so back to the summer meal programming support uh during the summer months in Rasberry we have ability to store milk and other perishable items directly uh in in the trailer and have that directly to at the site reducing the need for extra handling ensuring the food remains at safe temperatures trailer is designed to handle up to 300 gallons of milk uh our heaviest transported item while remaining of Van's towing capacity will'll be used throughout the school year to transport fresh fruits and vegetables from local Growers uh to the school as well with some the work that we do uh on local homegrown and furthering our commit to to the local food procurement process any additional discussion or questions Jeff's coolers in Village all I don't know I will I will
056ask that question though for it [Music] take those is there any um get like a cust pain job match the match the van there will be some logo of M here in public schools I don't know what that exactly Willa there will be a Lo yep got a can home my I don't know paint job would be but probably more of like aever be nice if you're a kidin corre there will be any additional discussion or questions all those in favor oppos motion carried item 8 f is consideration Improvement and updated property easement in Great Lakes Energy suggested motion to approve the updated property EAS with great L energy move my Amanda support my sta you guys are usually so quick I'm not used I'm used to I have to change my so discussion all
057right so I I really am looking for the approval um of the property easement uh the the property easement signature so that I can sign and I still have some questions myself because it it is stating that is in an updated property easement which um in a roundabout way that it it is but really it's not a great LS to easement so that's what I'm trying to investigate right now with the county it shows that it's through Wolverine and not through Great Lakes it is part uh Great Lakes does provide uh energy to Wolverine so that's what I'm trying to work through but the scope of the project itself is ran by great legs the great those are great laks lines there and they're just redoing them so I feel very comfortable in the project
058that they're looking to do um but I just want to make sure that the easement that I sign off on uh and I just want to be clear with you I I would like the approval to do so but I'm only going to sign if I know uh that it's specifically to this project and not to like the property as a whole we're really talking about the areas just along Webster Road um in 72nd there as you can see is the crosssections of that uh but we do have we show um a easement or with full Marine that incorporates some of this but it's not with great Lan so I have some clarifying questions that they can't answer at this point in time but I do feel comfortable in saying hey this project yep we
059can move forward I will sign that easen if it's if it's what we're saying in this as well so Jeff Jeff and I talked a little bit about this if this was just a straight reviewal that he could sign this without coming to the board but because of the we're not quite sure we f it was best board for approval any additional discussion so is it like a construction [Music] EAS is is like yes I mean it's a power uh it's it's a utility easement right but you said they're going to do work there one for Wolverine already correctement with Wolverine correct great L is going through up they're basically I think trying to say that they're even though they run all the I don't know how cuz our understanding is that this is a
060wolverine e not a great l they talk to Wolverine yeah well that's what I've said now they say well we provide I think Wolverine thinks it's their easement too and not theirs so I'm I'm working through that the actual project itself is rep repairing the power lines there which I think is a great idea and works um but I just want to get all our easements in order before I sign that and I uh would like the board's approval to to continue forward within this easement if it makes sense is common language it looks like it for both of them easements are in perpetuity that was my first thing I was like this is a forever e which sort of seems normal but that's it would be along the construction yeah I mean this is
061it is forever it say perpetuity and forever that always but again it's 40 ft off C line it's pretty normal type of process utility [Music] EXA any additional discussion or questions all those in favor yes opposed motion carried item 8G consideration to approve the reinstatement student number 4267 uh the suggested motion is to reinstate student number 10 01267 in the modu area public schools in order to continue education virtually through M County virtual by SC support by Karen discussion Scott what was that number that you [Music] approved I'm just kidding believe got so we did have a disciplinary hearing previously uh where we had an individual that was at dut freak uh where we moved to um our our approval was we were looking to either provide a virtual option or to move in an
062expulsion process to Lighthouse in the schem so uh the virtual option was not something the parent wanted to go through in that process they didn't think that that was the best uh they have since change your mind that Lighthouse is not the right fix for them so this is a in order for uh the student to be a part of M thean County Virtual Academy they have to be a student uh the virtual option was an option that we were looking at previously the students younger brother is a part of that M County Virtual Academy as well has decided that that would be an acceptable option and so I would like to uh reinstate the students so that it could go virtually this does not mean that the student will be ever in person here
063um but it would be amounting student through the virtual ation any additional discussion questions that language this this resolution or whatever cements that that correct they not correct that they would be a virtu specific to correct all right all those in favor opposed motion carried item nine on the agenda is ajour so move move by Cindy support support by Joel meeting is oh all those in favor meeting is a j students you can bring your agendas up Co you can tell that's awesome what's going thanks for coming genten yeah me too how you doing good thank you
