001or no roll call. Sorry, I skipped number one. Michelle Brook here. Dunlinger. Stephanie Edman. Randy Hidman here. Sarah Spear here. Here. Thanks, Kelly. All right. Now we'll do the pledge of allegiance. I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. All right. This meeting of the Brainard School Board is being conducted in accordance with Minnesota statutes 13D.02. This meeting is being recorded. Thank you, Justin. Access to the recording is available on the school district's YouTube channel. All right, we have one item on the agenda. So we will look for approval of the agenda as presented. So moved. Second. We've got a motion by director Ward, a second by Director Heidman. Any discussion? If not,
002all those um in favor signify by saying I. I oppose the same. Motion carries. Public input. Due to this being a special school board meeting, there is no public input allowed during this meeting. We will move on to new business and the item for action today is discussion and approval of the superintendent contract for the 202526 school year. Um, I passed around the couple of changes that we made, um, consulted with Jason, our new HR director, and also our, um, attorney, John Edison, and he recommended moving that one piece to the very end, the HA contribution, so that it wasn't part of the the health insurance area, but that was it. So, pretty straightforward. And my apologies that we didn't get this on the the last agenda and that we're meeting here this morning. That's
003my bad. Thank you for being here. Entertain a motion and then we can discuss. So moved to approve the superintendent's contract for the 2526 school year. And I'll second it. All right. We have a motion and a second discussion. Dumb question. Is there some of the stuff that really didn't need to even be in there? Well, what's you have to be careful about is that it's uniform. Oh, okay. MSBA kind of recommends that. Okay. So, that is in I wanted to just make sure everybody knew that um I don't take any of the district health benefits at all. Um number one, it would complicate my life even more. to be honest with you, insurance is not complicated. And and then number two, um you know, when I was talking with Jason, absolutely no increase in
004rate in salary. Um that would be inappropriate that this time for the district. So that's what Jason and I talked about in with Sarah. Any other discussion? I know the email that you sent out um talked about um additional PT PTO days or whatever. Yeah. So, what I asked was I get 37 days between sick vacation and bereavement. And I asked Sarah, I said, I'd just like to go 40 days PTO, paid time out, so I don't have to categorize if I'm taking a vacation or a sick day or whatever, just to simplify it. And um and I think some, you know, so 40 days sounds like a lot, but it was just really an additional three. Okay. Thank you for that clarification because I thought we were I thought we were talking about 40
005additional days. Oh, no. No. And I know that I know that's going to be part of a discussion of another unit, right? Um, yep. Thank you for that clarification. Yeah, that's good. So, it's just 40 days doing whatever you want. Correct. Okay. Not clear. See, and that's right. Yeah. You know, for me, and I understand MSBA has certain, you know, recommend, but I would have liked to have seen anything that didn't apply to you just pulled right out because it's kind of a special contract in a way, right? And the the reason you really don't want to do that though is because when you u prepare for the next superintendent, that person's going to look at what was what was I getting. So you want to make sure everything's in there. It's appropriate so to
006speak. So just for clarification for me too. So before you had so many days for bereavement, so many days for sick for sick. Okay. And now you just have that many days for anything that comes up. Okay. Okay. Yeah. And in addition to that, just to clarify too, the the days off that he gets are listed in the contract, the holiday days off. Um and so you'll you'll notice that like spring break, winter break, those kinds of things aren't necessarily included in that. Okay. Just the major holidays. Yeah. Okay. All right. Well, we've got a motion on the floor from Director Heidman and a second by Director Edman. Any further discussion? If not, all those in favor signify by saying I oppose the same. Motion carries. Congratulations, Peter. Thank you. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome to another
007year. on the roller coaster is D1. And that's that's really all we have on the agenda. So I'll entertain a motion to adjurnn. I'll make a motion. I'll second. We've got a motion by Director Edamman, a second by Director Breen. All those in favor signify by saying I. I oppose the same. Motion carries. We are adjourned.
