001They're not see what I got. They either deserve it or get used to it. My my normal tone of voice is this loud. Yeah. >> So if I get excited All right, here we go. This is public school regular board meeting Monday, August 18th, 2025 at 7 p.m. This is our call to order. Welcome. Our first item is adoption of the agenda adding donations to agenda which I'll pass off for everybody to see. I'll make a motion to adopt the agenda as amended. >> Does it got to be right? >> That's for the consent agenda, right? >> Yeah, we got listed in there. I think it was not listed in there right now. >> Yeah. So when we approve the consent agenda, right? Okay. I don't know. Sounds good. You get a motion there. Second.
002Any discussion? All right. All in favor say I. I motion carries. All right. Community cabinet. At each community session, we allow uh no more than three minutes per speaker, no more than 15 minutes per subject topic. We do have a new process for community with our online form and we did not receive any tonight. I don't see any here at the meeting. So if there is not, we will move forward um to our final consent agenda items. We've got approval of regular board events, approval of bills and payments contracts which there are noneations or we'll have the donations list for the final for 25. I think what we're doing moving forward is the next board meeting that I wanted to change. I'll make a motion to accept the consent agenda with the addition of the
003contract for long-term suber and the donation list of fiscal year 202 made a motion. Is there a second? Any discussion about any of those cons? Go ahead. Uh question on the treasury report. So looking at the month of July, there was 640 $660,000 more that went out general. I see there's like 210 boards, but I have any idea the big outflow is that wasn't covered by something on the side. It might be okay. Uh any other discussion on agenda items? Second. There's not a vote. All in favor say I. All right. Motion carries. Okay. 5.1 presentations for tonight. 5.2 is I'm sorry. 6.1 is a board statement on the 54 complaint. Um just going to review at this point. Uh one of the prior meetings there was some questions raised about um the district and
004policies and procedures around 504 plans. Uh so the administration, you know, in conjunction with the board took it upon themselves to make sure that you with that we we deal with it and and run through the process of remediating that and and learning what we can. Um, and so I just simply have a statement here as to kind of correctly addressing that and just a followup so that community understands you what we've done with that. Uh, so this reads, "Recently, concerns were raised regarding district's handling of a student section 504 plan and whether proper procedures were followed under federal law. These concerns were taken seriously and led to a formal mediation process between the family and the district. We are pleased to share that after this process both parties have reached a mutually agreeable resolution.
005The mediation will allow for open and respectful dialogue and the resulting agreement reflects a shared commitment to the student success and wellbeing. While the district maintains that it acted in good faith and with the students best interest at heart, we also recognize the importance of listening, learning, and continually improving our processes. We want to assure our community that the district is committed to upholding all laws and regulations related to section 504 and the rights of students with dis with disabilities. Steps are already being taken to strengthen training and internal practices to ensure that every student receives the support they entitled to under the law. We appreciate the patience, understanding, and partnership of all involved. Our focus remains as always on serving students and families with integrity, transparency, and care. questions questions. All right, we can
006continue 62 uh operating update just the discussion discussion item. uh do we need to I think one step take some dates around presentations and upcomingformational sessions and get some of that information decided on and out any comments from to Susie Peterson of ISG she ideas meetings having meetings more what we did last that she talked about. She did not recommend that. Um she thought that three at most four was sufficient getting the message out and more than that not going to be anybody coming in especially when last time had she did suggest doing it on different days. I think last time you did it on Wednesday night also event social media and here. Let me know that comments. So, um much of the process will be similar to last time we did um the vote,
007right? We question looks identical as the last time, right? We did our community survey uh which was pretty overwhelmingly respondents from that survey like 70 80% you know said they wanted to track the same same question they have more information now hopefully as we go through this process um make a decision or attend the meetings and ask different questions if they have them very similar to last year's questions or comments. We had a discussion last meeting about you know effort into the budget and you know what the future looks like positive you know andor we have to make hard decisions and we're trying to communicate those things I think the community track information just out time. Did you ask about the ask about she said the issue with that is probably district unemployed. You could
008as you go out there want to think that people want for less formal meetings meeting discuss our presentations from the district on you know facts that we have around why we're doing what we're doing having formal meetings but some smaller settings we can push out or such a thing to do. I don't know if you would want to record the actual meeting, but if there's such a thing, you know, say we have the first meeting, you know, do that hopefully when people show up when they leave, record the meeting and just run through it with our content. That way we can share that content in one of our many hearing place. Is that something that maybe she would advise on or maybe something to ask her if that's a good idea or not? I don't
009think I think last time I did the presentation. So I will certainly do that. I thought maybe one of the meetings was September or October meeting that meeting before. So hopefully it gets recorded and part of the board and draw some people to officially put some things on the counter right now. Yeah. Then I can get those to suggest first [Music] September 15mber football is away, but it's 4:30. So, by 7:30. So an hour by 650 an hour drive up every single one. I mean, I can make that one on the 15th, too. the days that I just kind of look on the calendar and what's happening all Tuesday. just starting at seven. Okay. That's a little one for two days. I just looked the maint I just looked up if anything was going on
010a lot of people. I know it it's might only be 20 30, but it's enough. So, October 15 or 16 as day days after 157. So I'm also both dominant for me to have one person >> right [Music] there. That's a point where a lot of other people are working in the community that >> school probably have to shut down this utilize that working Thursday works for anybody. I think we everything around Yes. October 15mber 15 at least. We're trying. I think the more people get their message out to, you know, maybe they were speaking or they're standing, the better off critical Saturday or Sunday. She said reasons [Music] at that time So yeah, I think it's a good >> Yeah, I think it's good to have one close by if people are still looking
011for information to somebody give them a chance maybe about it or heard about it ask the schools make sure they got their information straight. later. >> Um, so sessions are Tuesday the 28th. I believe the finals are Thursday and 30th. Did I see that right? Monday, Wednesday, we do it maybe like six instead of seven. Yeah. Or whatever. October 16 have to do with an opportunity to get out of here. Is there such thing that 16 Saturday on a Saturday that way doesn't want to work rather than do that on 16 people. Saturday morning. >> They're going with their kids. Yeah. you'll be able to straight together for no school days. >> I like monster too. Maybe some like a snack or roll or skull or whatever something like that and coffee. Um, yeah, just
012a good effort like that. I think that's a great idea. Saturday volleyball on the 11 varsity tournament volleyball fourth seventh and eighth grade tournament and then obviously the 18th is so it September happened I think on the 27th the September football game Imagine elementary This is more than you said that was four was the same job. So yes, you're having the same audience. If you're doing one at the end of October, you decide to so that September 15th at 7 September 27th at 10 And and myself too much. probably 2:00 [Music] Sunday like early evening like Sunday at 5:00 Um, but um it's been those two days like the 12th and the 19th October. No, like legit you got like we're going to say I'm not going to go off the one week of October
013>> get them out of here before like after church time would be like they go from church to here once they get home on possibility that some people love. fourth meeting about doing so on the 27th. We're doing a 10 a.m. What about doing a supper Saturday at like 2 a.m. or 2 p.m. Saturday because I wish I I don't any other I kind of like the idea of having different times available but if people are going to make it at least one starts on more sense for the people that were trying to get here. would make sense to do without it doing it before food truck to show up. We did a lot of we did before games junior high we had people on the table last year so we kind of hit those
014that way strategies for Sunday October 128 We got September 17th 7:00 Saturday at 10 a.m. October 27 October 12 Saturday um service prices. Um, just tatively I still haven't state level. So we have to have something seems like a logical we should call around and talk to districts are planning and basically it's you still get the free breakfast you still get the free lunch for that day something changes then we shuffle We're for sure getting the free lunch to breakfast. I did fill in a webinar today and all that areas in society ultimately by the end of 2028 will have lost billion Don't ever get published. like something like Monica really struggled with this. um shears I have that discussion about you know it's not just the food that you're talking about I told her
015today I saw a report that last month vegetable but also have couple breaks out. So I can't answer that 100% but she's conscious of it and not something that she tried to make. I'll make a motion to approve more discussion. All favor say 7.4 Four is our learning plan. We talked about our last work session um what it looks like and fairly over last year, right? There wasn't many any substantial changes. What's good for the past year flexibility? Staff likes it for similar reasons. you know, they just get that all pushed out by a certain time. I still go back to a point of that funk and that excitement about not going to school. And it also created older kids that just I think it helps them get to that point. experience jobs in July
016to approve sorry We got a motion from discussion. Thank you. All in favor say I car changes for 256 it should be 256 change and session questions [Music] followed these twice I think actually right sessions any any highlights you wanted to um pretty much changes. Yes. Of course. that first slideshow with all the changes and all the reminders and we set out right away that first day and I'll get to that in a little bit but tomorrow there's going to be a lot of emails going out that's so we'll see >> you explain the 7937 prayers you know, just kind of follow our what's in the handbook, but then we'll open it up for discussion, then we'll have a question answer. >> But I think one of the key points of emphasis is that the
017there's a lot of classes that build on each other, right? And if you can't do it at this level, there's no way you're going to be able to do it the next level. So, you know, part of our thought process there is let's get it right here before we move on to something harder. And I think that's going to be part of the way. Any more discussion? All I 26 activities changes this one session major highlights what discuss D and I met last week and just made sure that everything between ours and that there was nothing contradictory that people can look at. And then um I added in a link on our handbook to the state high school's website that has every rule of regulation um which will help kind of cover every day so
018that if pops up we can I just that's what we're deferring to for a number of different matters that's just where we should be deferring to. So I put it in there just so there's another check that in the student high school as well to activity section. So don't be everything is we'll come out of this in your um committee meeting with your yeah I said I'd update the handbook so it's online um once it gets approved I'll update we'll do I'll put the online put it up there so a lot of the stuff in there is covered the main things and then the other stuff is still Yeah, I can't I can I can go. >> That's Yeah, we will try to do that because they're all preschool K6 email and >> you want
019to speak easy. It's one point that I want to make sure people understand for the past if they both because it's because schools can actually get that first week around their sign. Friday. >> Yeah. The first Friday, the first SR handler spelled it out that football players will miss the first game of the year and volleyball players will miss the first two games of the year if they're failing in class at the end of the worst quarter of a school year. And then the first Tuesday, I believe, is the third. Is that the right day? is September 3rd. So then that day they need to they'll have to come to me get a sheet of paper and that piece of paper has to be in my hand on Friday. As soon as they miss the
020amount of games, they're eligible. So they're they just miss volleyball, this is two games. Football, this is one game. As soon as they miss their games, they're eligible. But then they're on it's not worded as academic probation, but it's pretty much making sure that every the first day of the week they get a sheet from me and the last day of the week they hand it back to me to be eligible for the next week. People ask why is football 26 activities. All favor say I 7.4 renewal of district insurance coverage. Sorry. Yeah. So football will lead varsity will be first assistant. Matt Miller will be second assistant third assistant fourth assistant and then junior high will be Dave Sing and Doug Schwan as two junior high coaches. And then our third junior high coach
021will be Ashton Digman who will be joining us later. So he's right here. So then and then volleyball head coach Dave Nixon first assistant April Thompson second and the two junior coaches are Tracy St. those weeks and I don't remember there but we've never paid for assisted coaches or coaches before or three for junior high. We talked about that last year. The same community in the backyard. Take care of an pushing player upside. All this is nice to see you got filled in. Appreciate all this questions. Um second discussion says insurance [Music] back questions. Today I was hoping back meeting but not to discussion. Um reports are meeting up last year. Um the Well, other than the board walls are back ordered until eight weeks. And so they do have a second secondary plan to
022see that might be temporary rock as well as one of our board members has some connections with self to see any other distributors. Um but it looks already 100% better than what is being done. It will be nice. Um, we hired a new principal, Tanner. Um, his last name, but John has really well gave us $1,000 $1,000 donation to be used for anything that we see fit. The boot camp for bed and training is coming up. uh we were able to make some money selling some services child psych and I think to see and truly so we're trying to so we if we have and we have people who can give them the time they pay us and then we also add a 20% on top of it so um which helps us we three
023teachers. We just need a couple more pairs otherwise it's everything is done [Music] anytime you want. um MCA contract talking So much That's something that's every [Music] water. talking about things about meeting with athletics. So I appreciate why there's a fun last day for I don't know if you guys see it full event and 100 people I think right 100 people and you can't report their direction. So, I shared it out with that and I'm not sure if it's working or not, so I shared it out in your email. So, I'll just go through it. Um, talked about the new staff quickly. Um, we have Courtney Ty. She's in first grade. He's got himself. Conor Ty, he is a fifth grade teacher. Um, Kayla Wills, she is a speech language pathologist. That's a big bonus.
024have that here at Children's District Walker professional. We did get Austin Sler hired as a second grade. We offered the third grade still waiting to get a confirmation on that quantum substitute. Actually, uh Lisa met with the new teachers today to pass so they don't get overwhelmed they can come in. She does a great job with those people. Um then I just put the the workshops in there. We have three different we have a high school, we have elementary, we have a pair professional, the high school piece just touch on because um they're they're very similar. So, district kickoff, they'll have an all staff meeting. Um, child protection character crimes actually going to come in. There's new statute for that as well as some um I met with the county last weeks ago, what new
025truency laws and I'll do crisis management and the required board path and so on. The crisis response team will meet again on just go through everything for the year. Um then Dave already talk into two different areas. So your high school staff want to talk. >> Yeah, we just we just get the staff together. We go through all the different changes in the handbook, all the different things that we that we're going to focus on. It's a good session for us and things. Um, and that'll be part why we're doing this and blah blah blah. So, um, great opportunity for us to to get together as a staff and and remind all that and I think just talking the one initiative we've been doing with the kids having a one to one I think I've
026said traditional stuff we're going to continue to utilize that work on Because every time we crazy awesome. I don't and realize this is actually better. It's not harder. It's actually kind of easier and it's better for any more actual dis. So when we disappear here for four more years is another pretty bad and then we figure out how how we can meet their needs.
