Um, I'd also like to thank all of our staff members um who were involved
004in summer school. Had a great summer school. Uh, a good end of the uh the school year. Um, and of course, we are now focused on back to school preparation. We met with our principles last Friday. Had a great work session with them. We went over a lot of procedures and some things that we want to kind of tighten up for next year as well. So, really appreciate all of their hard work. Uh it's been a a great year for them. I think that that we all kind of grew together. This is my second year as the superintendent. So, really excited about the next year and and some of the great things that we're going to continue to work on as a team. So, uh that was really the end of mine. I did have
005the booster club tournament as well. I'm looking forward to being very hot. Yes. Out when we There'll be lots of refreshments. Yes. Lots of And that seems really early to start talking about back to school already. I Well, we start planning as soon as we get out. So that that's what we do all summer long is plan for the next school year, but there's not a whole lot of a break in between. Hopefully everybody on my team will take a little bit of a vacation break at some point. That's all I have. Thank you. Well, thank you, sir. uh treasur finance report. Miss Dudek. So um since I usually update on 2425, I'm just going to talk about the 2425 budget amendment that um is presented for approval under business. Um for the general fund,
006we started the year with $22.1 million. Everything is still estimated at this point, but um revenues received are 45.3 with 25.8 of expenses in the general fund, transferring 8.1 million to the special revenue fund to cover teacher salaries and benefits. And there's also a transfer of 1.9 million to capital projects fund. This is the um amount that was allowed by Desi. That leaves us with an ending balance of 21.8 million and an ending fund balance of 34.97. The general fund is almost balanced. Um and we still have the leeway to do that. Hopefully some of the revenues will come in better than maybe our expenditures will be a little bit lower. And how we know it's balanced is you take the beginning balance and the ending balance and try to get them as you can.
007So, there's about a $294,000 difference from that. And thank you. We also went over that upstairs, too. So, we greatly appreciate the edification there. So, okay. Uh, next support services report. No, districtwide athletics. Oh, districtwide athletics. I moved them around. I was trying to skip Josh. Dang it. Okay. Usually, I love it when you do that. Good evening. Yeah. [Laughter] Check. You got a boomer. Anything? No. Yeah, you're good. Okay, cool. Good evening. How's it going? So, um, our spring season for high school and junior high athletics have wrapped up. A couple weeks ago at the state track meet was our last event. Uh, at the track at the state track meet, we had two medalists. Kent Sheridan uh in the pole vault got second. Pretty exciting event. He was um on the cusp of
008winning three times at three different heights and the guy from Kirkwood uh completed his third on his third attempt at the pole vault at the at these heights. So, it was a really exciting event to watch and and great competition and Kent's got another year to come back and and try to win it next year. Isaiah Husky also got third in the shot put and uh he the guy that won the event broke the national or came 3/4 of a inch from breaking the national record. Uh he's a kid from from u Nixa who's going to Miami to play football. His parents were both Olympic shot putters. So you know I mean he he threw 76 ft and the next closest was he was you know Isaiah was third and the and his teammate was
009through 56. So he beat the next closest competitor by 20 ft. Unbelievable. Unbelievable kid. Yeah. Boys golf. We were um represented at state golf tournament with two brothers Drew and Seth Ferguson. They did very well. They did not medal, but a great experience for both of them. Especially I told him afterwards, I was like, you know, you don't get the opportunity to do this with your brother. Uh you may not appreciate it now, but you you will in the future. So, one thing we're real proud of the at the high school um academic achievement, Misha's academic achievement um recognition. Uh we you have to apply for it. Uh uh Coach Gan has taken upon himself. He said, "Hey, I I really need to make sure we get our our guys recognized. We we have our
010our individual sports that have their all-state academic achievement, but this is through Misha. Uh th those academic all states are all through coaching associations, not through through Misha. So, just to go over a few of our our outstanding scholastic achievement for cumulative team GPA, that's 3.5 to 4.0 cumulative GPA for those teams in the fall. our varsity volleyball, varsity girls cross country, varsity girls golf, varsity boys swimming and diving. Varsity girls tennis, junior varsity girls tennis, and junior varsity boys cross country. All fell in that in that category. The outstanding scholastic achievement in the winter are varsity girls swim and dive. So, we're really proud of those of those teams. There's the next level down is distinguished scholastic achievement cumulative team team GPA between three and 3.49. 49. So in the fall was our varsity
011boys cross country, varsity boys soccer, varsity football, varsity softball, junior varsity boys cross country, junior varsity boys swimming and diving. So we're again proud of of all of those. The spring submissions aren't actually due till the end of this month. So I'll report back to you in August about uh what what spring sports were involved in those scholastic achievements. We also had some individual scholastic achievement improvement awards. top three of our top three of our volleyball players got the most improved GPA in the state uh during the semester of their season. Piper Underwood, Sophie Hagerty, and Aaliyah Jackson. So, they were members of the of our of our volleyball team in the fall. So, congratulations to them. Summer weights, I talked to um Coach King and and Coach Neils today about how summer weights was
012going. We've been we've been uh really excited about the numbers that we've had at the junior high. This has exploded, right? So last year uh this is the numbers I got from Darren today. Uh 2025 98.3 to date. So average per day we've have close to 100 kids uh in in our strength and conditioning. As perspective 2024 there were only 42. So coach Tuning and coach Neils have done a great job of really ramping up their efforts to get uh those those kids to continue to come to weightlifting throughout the summer. So we're excited about that. high school. Our average per date uh this year is 166 and a half. Um and last year was 141. So we're again up, which is a is great. The the the number that really sticks out to me
013though is girls. 41 last year and 60 this year. All right. To get 60 girls to come to weightlifting every day, I mean, I'm just being honest in in school districts, that's tough. and they're and we're doing a great job because our coaches make great connections with those those players and get them to come to come to weightlifting every day. So, we're really excited about where we're at numbers wise essentially 250 to 300 kids uh getting better on our campuses. So, that that's a that's a that's a plus from the elementary and middle school uh baseball softball are wrapping up their seasons currently. They're really at the end of their their seasons this week and next. Uh successful seasons for both despite weather conditions. Uh I know the city's worked real hard. They're they're just
014to be honest their fields at arena are tough to keep keep playable. U and that's something they're addressing with if you go by Shauny Sports Complex that's what they're addressing. They're having they're have five turf infields. So that that'll be great for the city and for us. There's actually a CT pizza in the park night tonight for all of our softball teams. This is something Coach Compass has started. She she basically brings all of the softball teams that we have in our our programming, brings them there. their high school softball players will be there to serve him pizza and meet them. Um, so that's where I'm leaving right after this report. So, I'm going to go out there for a little bit. Um, in this wonderful warm evening, our co our coaches are continuing to
015add opportunities for our students as part of our CIP uh Elevate 5 that I'm that I'm the the champion for. Uh, we continue to add camps. I've actually got two coaches coming. our new bound platform that uh Jaime's going to pull up has got pulled up actually has camp registration on it. Um so I've got two coaches, coach Compass and Coach McKenley are coming in Thursday. I just learned how to add these camps on because it's a new platform to us. So they're going to learn how to do it as well so we can add these uh camps that are coming in in late July. Right. So to the last thing I've got is bound. This is our our new platform. We talked about it in April. Um, this just gives you a little bit
016of what it will look like when you log on. Most of you have gotten that email that said, "Hey, registered for your activities." We hope it's simpler than final forms. There's much less much fewer questions, which I'm happy about. Uh, but Jamie, if you can go to a calendar, go to one of the schools. Just go to go to Cape Central, the high school one. Your mouse is locked under the green. Hey, that's it. Yeah. Can you go to month and then go forward? So, a couple again a couple great things about this. Sorry, Jenny. Couple great things about this uh um program is is that is when you come to this landing page, you see all the activities your kids if you register for an activity. So, for example, those of you that have
017kids at multiple levels, so if your if your kids at a cheerleader at the high school and softball and junior high and basketball at the elementary, all of that stuff is going to flood to your calendar, like anything your kid is associated with that you've registered for. It also gives you the opportunity to look for any event that you want to. So, any notification you want, say you're you you want to follow the high school baseball team. Well, you can go in there, even if you're not involved with the high school baseball team, you can go in there and follow them and get notifications on those games. This takes away like three different platforms that we're using. We'll do ticketing directly through this um our ticketing cost that when we put that in place during
018COVID on our online ticketing only we got a lot of complaints about the fees like it's a dollar for the ticket plus so much percentage per ticket to the to you know 29% whatever it is per ticket right so you you get a $4 ticket for I don't know six bucks right I haven't bought a ticket in so long I can't even tell you so so but I'm what we look when we went to this program. One of the things we want to look at was were the fees. This is 90 cents a ticket uh for for uh everything any individual ticket from 0 to $10 and then above that any kind of passes which we'll have our booster club passes or or all sports passes uh that we do. Those will be a $3
019fee, but it's a flat fee. And all of those things, what we're going to do is just swallow those in instead of showing up on the ticket. We'll just swallow that as as the district and include that in the in the cost of the ticket. All right. So, two things. It's going to save a lot of money for our for our consumers, right? Our customers, our people coming to games. That's gonna that's going to save us a significant amount of money, especially if you're buying multiple tickets. The other thing is the um the cost of the program. All of the programs that we have we have uh gotten rid of for this program essentially save the district about 10,000. So, again, final forms cost us so much. Hometown ticketing cost us so much. All of
020this platform will be one. The biggest thing that we will I think we will see going forward is the facility use part of this. We the way we do our facility use now is is is a little bit hodge podge as far as from my standpoint from athlet from an athletic standpoint. Google calendar people calling me or emailing me or coach Gunn or Coach Connor. This will this will be you'll have a reserver they'll be able to and it will show up on this facility calendar so Josh can know across the district what's going on in Alrader whether it's an event for the boy scouts or one of our athletic events or a a a band event whatever it is it's all in one place for us to be able to monitor the other great
021thing about it that I think you guys as parents will will love will it shows hey when's the bus leaving what time's class release all the things that you want to know as a parent will be there on your schedule, right? It's great for, you know, you hear me talk about a nature all the time. It's great for her because it's one place she can enter stuff instead of seven, right? So, and anytime she has to make a change, it goes out to you. So, we change a baseball game because of rain, it's automatically going out to those people that get notifications about baseball, right? Any any type of event like that. Okay. Um, the other thing, July 11th, Booster Club golf tournament. I'm sure Casey's gonna bring it up. Keep bringing it up. That's
022right. That's right. Anybody got any questions for me? Awesome. Thank you very much. Thank you. Enjoy. Thank you, sir. All right. I guess we'll do a support services report next. All right. Thank you. Uh just a few things to report out. Currently, uh all of our SRO's as well as myself except for a few hours down here. We are at Lake V Ozarks for the annual Missouri school resource officer conference that goes through Thursday morning. So I drove back down today from that. I'll drive back up tonight to be back with them learning based uh latest laws, tactics, uh data, uh updates, everything like that. So ongoing training for them. We have a few summer trainings that are uh going to be taking place. Um we are utilizing our buildings with our fire department and
023police department to come through in the summer. We'll have a later uh signup sheet that will go out to our staff for those that are willing to volunteer. Maybe a few of you in the past have I know Casey you parttook in that uh years ago at the junior high and uh so we'll be running through those. and food service closed out the year uh with summer school aiming except for ESY. We still have that uh but that ended out well and I would say the same for transportation. They still have a few buses that are running. Uh the bulk of our business tonight will be the long range facility plan that will come up during the business session. So I'll wait to talk on that when we get there. Any questions? Thank you, sir.
024Move on to board reports. MSBA delegate report. Um, like you said, I attended the MSBA summer summit and uh for the delegate session, we elected leadership um and um oh I a recommendation that I have that isn't really delicate related but um whenever I go to the summer summit that people always get the awards for doing the professional development. And I just encourage you guys to pursue that. It doesn't if you're if you're going to some of these conferences or attending some of the workshop trainings that they have, it it's not a huge time commitment to pursue those. You have to write an essay, but that's not that hard. Um, says the English teacher. It's not bad. It's only like one or two pages. It's fine. I'll I'll take a look at it for um
025it it was a good conference. Um I attended a lot of interesting sessions, a lot of legislative stuff because I was super interested in that. But um they will have the full platform ready for the October conference. That's all I have. All right. Well, thank you. Thank you. Legislative report. Okay. Um, the Missouri budget, we talked about this a little bit in our special session, but it has not been approved yet by Governor Kho. The deadline is June 30th, so we should know something soon. Um, Supreme Court case update. Yeah, I talked about this in our last meeting that there was a case over public education funding being used for private religious charter schools. Scotas did release their decision on that. It was actually a 44 split. There are nine justices. One recused herself from
026the case, hence there being eight in a 4-4 split. So when that happens, um that means that the opinion of the lower court is upheld, which in this case means that the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled that charter school funding for religious school violates both the US Constitution and Oklahoma State Constitution. So for the moment, um public funding cannot be used for religious charter schools. That said, because it's a 4-4 split, it can't be considered like a precedent was set. So, there is a pretty good chance that we will see something like this come before the court again. Um, the last thing I wanted to mention is the the national budget bill, which is also known as the big beautiful bill. I'm sure you've seen plenty in the news about it. It is currently up for
027vote in the Senate. The reason I'm bringing it up is because there's two pieces that would affect public schools. One is um the bill has five billion a year set aside for private a private school voucher program. Um and the second is it includes significant cuts to Medicaid which obviously has direct impacts on our students. So I just thought I would mention those things. Um, and that's all I've got. Okay. Yeah, I'm gonna Sure. Piggy back on that. Okay. Because this is something that they talked about. If there are cuts to Medicaid, that means that fewer students are getting Medicaid services, which is the free and reduced lunch is kind of figured piece of that. Yeah. So they said um in the sessions I attended that's something to watch out for because we're 100% free
028and you guys probably know more about this than I do but we're 100% free and reduced. Yeah. If those numbers change we may not I don't know who qualify for that or not but it's something to pay attention. The board would have to make a decision. Yeah. Whether we want to how we want to continue you may have to fund it even more dollars than we already do. Yeah. Certain percentage. Thank you very much. Yep. Uh K public school foundation. Haven't heard anything so I don't know if there's a report. She said booster club golf tournament. Booster club. I think there there is a mix mingle after. So that is a good opportunity for there you go. If you've heard about that, if you don't play golf, you might want to show up and have
029cold beverages. Yes. If you've heard, that's after the booster club golf tournament. So, July 11th, July 11th day. So, be there all day. All day long. All right. Thank you guys. We'll move on to our non-action items. So, this is the first reading of board policies. DFA DFA-2 rescend DJFA EJ AAA GBCB GBE IGB IGBCA KB and KK um and just the quick backdrop on this of course these are our board policies um they are fed down through MSBA and then reviewed there's a committee of I don't know how many people are on it but there's several people on a Google form um sorry I did not Google form there um but there's several people on it review these in depth and vote on them and have commentary. Then they come before the board. We
030read them twice and then on the third time they become So this is the first reading of those policies. So please uh make sure you review those if you haven't got a chance yet. All right. So next up is approval of consent agenda items. You guys, these have all been sent out. We've got minutes from May 19th, 2025 regular meeting of the board of education and June 5th, 2025 work session and special meeting of the board of education. our payment of bills and our approval of the district professional development plan.

It's been the most inclusive process that we have ever gone as a district in figuring out what our baselines are, where we're at, and where we need to go forward. Um we have had multiple community surveys, uh stakeholder surveys, both internal, external, uh year-long calendar of meetings, um that some of you were actually a part of as well. And so taking all that aggregate data, this really fine-tunes a lot of different things. So IDS is here to answer any questions that maybe weren't answered earlier as well as myself if any questions or concerns. Okay. Have any comments? I want to say one thing. Josh has done an incredible job. He's being very humble right now, but he has done
034an incredible job working with this team over here to really get a 10-year plan that's that's going to last for for a long even past the 10 year uh plan. So, uh just congre Thank you, Josh, for all your hard work and congratulations finally getting to this point where we can bring it to you all. So, and the team at IDS has been phenomenal to work with as well. been part of some of those original meetings uh with Josh and the team and I couldn't have been more excited and thrilled with how the process has gone.

035happy to share it with you with I'm sure he'll be playing with it on a regular basis. Not as much fun, but that's okay. All right. Um, so again, discussion there. Thank you guys very much.
