Any questions? bills for payment financials different items there questions comments none in favor of approval of consent agenda none opposed motion carries all right we'll then turn it over to our reports for the night uh our first report this evening is
002from the American Heart Association welcome I can't believe it's been a year since I've been here. I can't believe this has flown by. Thank you. I said, "Wait a minute. Something happened in this room. You guys got a face. It's beautiful." So, um, I'll let him hold my PowerPoint and I'll brag on you guys. your first week though. Okay. >> Um I got a phone call from our superintendent and our internet was down. So they went back to the basics all day today. You know, no internet all day long across the district. So just use paper and pencil. I don't know. Anyway, so I'm Carrie Bocker. I work with the American Heart Association and you're amazing PE teachers here in Hillsboro. And um you guys have a fond spot in my heart. I just love
003coming here and um I think if I ever got promoted I would have a hard time giving away this school district. So um anyway, I'm here to brag um on just the amazing partnership that we have um with your community. So um Hillsboro School District is part of 16,000 schools across the country that participate um in Kids Heart Challenge or American Heart Challenge and partner with us. We reach over 10 million families across the United States to share the importance of taking care of your heart and helping others with sick hearts. And there we go. Okay. So, um, last year we celebrated a a milestone birthday of 100 years. And I just like to point this out. Um, since we were founded, right, we've that cardiovascular disease intact and that couldn't happen without the support
004of communities like yours. We educate over 20 million people a year in hands only CPR on the deaths of stroke have decreased by 34%. So there's some pretty staggering statistics there. Um I want to share a story. Um I've been meeting with uh when kids do kids heart challenge with us the families can check off if they have a heart survivor in their family or if they're shot a heart survivor. So I met with a mom, a mother of three. She has triplets and her one has a congenital heart defect. And she said it all started with a stethoscope at the pediatrician's office. And she said one checkup in August and two months later my baby was having open heart surgery. >> So it's it's just staggering. Um you know one in three Americans are
005impacted by heart disease and um you all are making a difference. right here in Missouri. We have over $16 million worth of studies happening. Um a bulk of it right up in St. Louis at you know our amazing universities and hospitals that are out there. Um we're also focusing a lot on um CPR and AEDs. Um our advocacy we help push through the surf legislation. I'm hoping as a school board you know what I'm talking about when I say the ser legislation that it's required in all your schools or in every school district to have that cardiac emergency response plan. Um so we um were instrumental in that. Um and then also just making sure that anyone that we can get in touch with they understand the steps for hands-on CPR and then nutrition security
006and then blood pressure screening. So that's been a focus of ours um this year. The main reason why I'm here is I want to celebrate four amazing people. Molly Vega, Aaron Holly, Aaron Boss, who I heard crossed over the the line a little bit there, and Casey Speed. So, collectively, um, those three schools, um, Primary, Elementary, and Intermediate, raised over $20,000 for the American Heart Association, which is amazing. We touched over 1,800 families in the community, and in return, we gave your schools $2,000 back in US things they could use for PE um equipment or different things that they need in their schools. And this year you guys are ranked number two for rural school districts in the state of Missouri. So give yourselves a round of applause. [Applause] And I know none of this
007is a surprise to you, but this is why we do what we do and why we partner with schools. Um, we know that if a child goes into cardiac arrest, less than one in five um, survive because people don't know what to do. So, this has been my new thing I've been doing with school boards. We've been doing a little test. Are any of you in the medical profession that are out there? Because if not, if you are, you cannot answer my question. Okay. Okay. So, um, for cans only CPL, how many beat or how many beats per minute should you be pressing on the center of your chest when When someone is going into cardiac arrest, you want to take a guess, >> a child, >> we're going to average more than 60. >>
008More than 90 >> 100 to 120 beats per minute. Okay. So, there's two songs that I like to tell the kids, right? Staying alive. Staying alive. You're coming, right? And then the other one is Baby Shark, right? So, that's that's another one that we we tell the kids, right? We also we also are you know we know that depression is high anxiety is high in kids. We know that the physical activity piece of it is so important right so the more that kids can be active the more they're in their PE classes um and moving and grooving we know that that helps with that anxiety piece of it and the the depression 60 minutes per day only 20% of American kids are getting 60 minutes of exercise a day it's pretty scary um so what
009can you do to continue to help us celebrate your schools. Um, make sure that you share it on social media, which you guys do a great job when we have a celebration event here. Continue to support that state and federal legislation um piece with the ads and the CPR training, making sure that you have that. Um, one thing is the state of Missouri has put funds into um a grant program through MESA. Um, and I believe you guys have title one schools here. So, you will be eligible for those grants. So be looking out for funds to help you with the ads and the CPR training that you'll be required. We're just trying to figure out the logistics and how it's going to flow. So as you kind of dig a little bit deeper, reach
010out to me and I'll try to reach out when I get information as well. And then finally, learn the steps of hands only CPR and stroke. So my second quiz for you today, we use the acronym FAST for stroke. Okay. Um I worked for the American Heart Association. This going on my seventh year and this summer I had my mom with me in my front seat of the car and it was a really really cool day in Missouri. No, I'm just joking. It was like one of the 100 degree days and my mom was in the front seat and she went down face drooping slouched in the front seat of my car, right? And I knew what to do because of my work with the American Heart Association, right? I knew that she was having
011a stroke. So the F stands for face drooping. A arm weakness. S >> speech slur, right? She had emotion mouth. She wasn't making any sense. And t time to call 911. So you guys learned something tonight at your school board meeting. So um on behalf of the American Heart Association, these heart ambassadors across the United States, thank you. Thank you. Thank you for your support. I so appreciate you and your school communities. And um we've already met and we're all set for this year. So looking forward to continuing this tradition. So thank you so much. [Applause] >> Thanks for being here. >> All right, I'll turn it over to Dr. Eisenson for the super. >> All right, just a short report uh this month as we're just getting started with school. report that we've had
012a strong and smooth uh start to the school year and that's a testament to the administrators in this room and the teachers and staff and our uh everyone that's worked with the students this week. I also want to thank Dr. Maru and his team Mr. Whitehead and all the special education team teachers and staff for just preparing school and getting every uh thing ready. have a big lift as we get ready for everyone to kind of come back in one week. Tomorrow, Friday is probably be a long day here on campus with the five day week right out of the gate. Uh so primary is probably those kids sleeping midday there. So >> we start a couple different things. Uh I know I had sent that quick message to the board that the uh the
013no cell phones has actually been uh as good as we could have And hope agree with everything I've heard back in their head that yes, it really truly has been from the kids that it hasn't been that big of an issue. Now it's week one. It's going to be the es and flows, but we're really proud of the kids. Uh it's went off as good as it possibly could, way better than expected. Um and early childhood program officially starts Monday with children arriving. Um, couple different things I did just did want to mention as far as enrollment. I was mentioned that on the first day we had 300, excuse me, 3,110 students in grades K12. Uh, on August 7th, we had 384. So, we had some late kind of enrollments and such spread uh throughout
014the district. Um, one of the things just of note because I think it will be impacting the district, uh, in the future, uh, our kindergarten class is running at 185 kids there about. And I did some more of the live birth um, projections out some of the latest data. That trend is going to continue. It's actually there was a little bit of a bump in birth, but eligible as far as it's under 200 more 14 or 15400 were born that represent this year's next year uh right at 1500 148 so I anticipate about the exact same number so um we do at our government leaders meeting I did a visit with Mr. Daniel and some of the construction going on. So we'll see how that has some of the impact Jarvis. So just already kind
015of planning for the future on first week school. So just wanted to share the report upcoming events. We have our MSBA regional meeting on September 3rd and then also our PM MIA game is September 5th. the ceremony at 5:30. I got any questions for Dr. All right, we'll move right into this evening's financial report. >> Yes, the financial report uh is included in the board packet for those at home. It's item number six, the district financial report. Um this month It's kind of a a shorter report as far as it's early in the fiscal year, but I did want to highlight uh some items. I visited with Miss White this week as part of our kind of our process when we go through the data is, as you can see, we received about $2 million
016of revenue, 4.64%. That's a little bit lower than the historical trends. Um But not much of a a change. I did want to uh reference. There you go. If you go to the the next page um which will show the county revenue that shows actual the date um we did receive a check but we received it after the month of July. So it's early August. So that's um not necessarily zero today but as of July 31st. Um, the next item that I want to point out is if you go to the next page, this is Oh, not quite that far. I did want to point out on the activity fund um right there, there's $158,000 um as an expenditure in July is That's not within our activity funds. Not just like sports that you spend
017on that is actually we set up activity funds for our employee HA flexible spending account um limited uh use flexible spending accounts in order to properly from a an accounting purpose. We didn't necessarily have them in our accounting software. So, Miss White and her team uh set up accounts within our activity there. Um so, that's what that expenditures and working through that there. So, I wanted uh to point that out. Um and then if you'll scroll through to the um area the that's 23 included the 23 24 and 25 July. So year over year we have a comparison. Um but I do want to point out 2023 is kind of anomaly on that budgeted amount. So it's not necessarily applicable. That's why I didn't do a three-year comparison uh for this month. So, if you
018go to the uh 2025, all right, on this report, I did want to point out uh Miss White asked me as we were going through it is if you could scroll up a little bit. I know this is kind of difficult on the screen. The board has it. Fund number 2190, other support services. Um, as you can see, we had a budgeted amount of $2,600. We spent 12,953. Um, that's because the money was sitting at a different place. And when uh Mr. White had I guess when the sped talked about it that needs to be put it needs to be put in a a different budget adjustment from a state standpoint. So we have to have there. So it's an accounting thing. It's not we're just uh the money's not in that box in the
019account. Um I have referenced the insurance and that's under the staff services 2540 is I think that's that 155,000 on the activity insurance. So you see how that all correlates there on the expenditure revenue uh report which is the next report there. I did want to highlight classified used leave uh rece that's our um leave day stipen we actually are over budget there and we'll make that adjustment that means that our employees had better in attendance than we anticipated and so that uh was a little bit bigger checks going to staff going out there on our certified staff we're a little bit um we didn't spend as much as we thought we would. So, uh it's pretty close to balancing out within $10,000. Uh and one other item I did want to uh point out
020actually two other professional services 6319 where it shows that we spent 81% of the money in the month of August. Two different items there. Uh Shiner Electric, we have a program that monitors like our capital uh equipment and tracks all that. That invoice came uh in July versus June. So that applied there that was not anticipated in the budget as well as the SRO contract. Uh you know we do the budget putting that together in early June. Uh so that number that'll be updated on budget adjustment later on. And finally, just pointing out for knowledge for the board when they see items um such as item 6441 on that page, library books is you see the budget amount of $40,000 and there hasn't been any money spent, but there's it shows 32% of the budget.
021That's because the ladies have put the POS in. So that uh money's been accounted for just hasn't been pushed out. So just wanted to uh share those particular items and this financial report appreciate the insight. Any questions on the financial report? All right, we'll move on. Thank you. Uh any items of public comments public comments? So that will take us to new business. We have first item is this only on JFC student use of personal communication. >> Just wanted to put that on our open uh session meeting tonight that we record. We talked about that at the previous July meeting tabled that the board did approve this uh policy at our work session so that it was uh in place for the start of school. It relates to the cell phones and along uh with
022that the policy is the exact same as it was presented in uh July with the addition of uh two administrative forms. One being uh teachers requesting to use cell phones in a classroom. So that process would go to administrator then ultimately make sure that we maintain some fidelity there. And the other document is to uh have approval of the bring your own device so that can be reviewed by the administrator and technology and then have a step to place dial for any educational items. So that's where we sit. Just wanted to put that public facing um questions from the group tonight on any policy. Okay, we'll go on to some action items. Next on our list is approval of bill for payment to Jefferson College. Do I have a motion to approve the bill for
023payment to the college in the amount of $2,000? >> Any questions on this paint? All those in favor? Opposed? Single abstension. Motion carries. Right. Next up is the approval of the 26 junior high trip to Washington DC. Do I have a motion to approve the travel opportunity for the junior high school uh to Washington DC and will be coordinated by the junior high principal Dr. Murphy in partnership with company World Strides for the 2526 school year. >> Awesome.

All those in favor of approval opposed. Motion carries. All right. Next is the acceptance of a donation from the Hillsboro Youth Football and Cheer

Any questions? This is a very generous donation from think that this work could commence before >> season's over. >> Uh, I would think so. Yeah, we already got quotes for it. Like I know Brian's worked with them quite a bit, but >> thank you to that group for that for sure. >> Any questions? >> Okay. All those in favor of approval? None opposed? Motion carries. All right. Next is the approval of the purchase of a new school bus. Do I have a motion to approve the purchase of a
025new 77 passenger Bluebird bus from Central States for a total cost of 151,360? >> Second. >> Any questions? >> Uh last year we had three buses that were eligible for the diesel uh emissions reduction act. Uh two of them were selected. Those buses should be arriving in the next couple weeks here in the middle of September. The third bus was placed as an alternate. Uh we found out over the summer that bus was also as an alternate was selected. So uh this year we should receive right at $70,000 in grant money from the diesel admission act. Um and so this bus was just part of that third one and it should arrive in around December. >> Questions? Hear none. All those in favor of approval? Opposed? Motion carries. All right. On to the approval of
026the contract with Burn Citadel Security Company. We have a motion to approve a three-year agreement with Burn Citadel Security Company for district monitoring services. >> Uh they're there they are currently our company that monitors our entire district. And this was just a section that um was added the new section from 2017. the commons, uh, cafeteria, the new front office or newer, and then the gym that that section in the back.

Do I have a motion to approve resolution for the district's participation in a multi-entity legal challenge to the property tax credit provisions that are in Senate Bill 3 and to authorize shared contribution towards those litigation costs? >> Second. >> Okay, any questions from the group tonight? I'm going to turn over to Dr. Isaac. any additional info that he can he can share with us on progress in this area. >> Um was updated this afternoon that again uh Warren County is a plaintiff and multiple political subdivisions both locally and statewide are
029um that would be impacted by this are contributing kind of joining that fiduciary standpoint. Um so it's just As I've said before, the board and the school district school district uh protecting being committed to protecting the services our families rely on, not just school but fire, ambulance, libraries, mental health supports. uh this is joining with those other entities uh to just ensure that this is constitutional uh that each citizen of Missouri is treated in the same manner and this Senate Bill 3 actually doesn't do that. So it's exploring that. Um there's been multiple agencies uh that have already addressed this both in the county locally and as I said questions this hearing none in favor of approval this opposed motion carries. All right.
