So the early childhood teacher she's been pursuing her degree.

Has her BA and she has started the classes for ABC stuff. All right. So, so she has a BA.

We have a couple people I'd like to introduce here tonight. You did approve eight hires. Some of those are for next fall and so those people will come in the fall to be recognized at that time. But I do have a couple staff members I'd like to recognize that are here tonight. So, first I'd like to introduce you to Justin Anderson. Would you stand up for us, please? Our new middle school custodian and certified master of clean floors clean floors and smoked meats. Before joining us, Justin worked at the local fiberglass shop until it packed up and left town. Probably because it couldn't handle
006his level of excellence. Uh when he's not keeping the school in tip-top shape, Justin's out camping with his family where they make s'mores the right way with Reese's instead of plain chocolate. So, take notes on that. Uh he also has a green thumb and a smoker that produces ribs and chicken so good you'll consider billing lunch just to get a bite. Welcome, Justin. We can't wait to see you what you clean and grow and what you drill. So, thank you for being here. Our second person, Mr. Kaden Fields. Would you stand up for us? I'll add something in here. He just finished his student teaching in the fourth grade, but he's going to stay on here for a little bit. So, he is our new specialized needs aid at Graph for the rest of the
007school year, and he's a future teacher extraordinaire. Aiden will be uh graduating this May with his education degree from the University of Montana Western. So he's basically running on lesson plans and caffeine at this point. Originally from Alaska and a proud Kenai central grad, Kaden brings the northern grit and chill literally to the halls of graph where he's not supporting. When he's not supporting students, he's soaking up all the baby snuggles he can from his two brand new nephew twins. Because nothing says relaxing weekend like being covered in formula and mystery stains. Welcome. And we're glad you traded snow for smarts and brought your Alaska cool to Montana schools.

Motion to adopt the resolution regarding property abandoned, obsolete, un undesirable or unseenable for school purposes for the Laurel School District 7 and 7-70 and acknowledge that items listed will be disposed by sale, recycling, or
013reduce motion to approve by Chris. Second, comments, questions from the board. Yes, Donnie. So I noticed on the list that it had graphs graph and graph's legal address. Does that mean these items are all from graph school because of not and then all the other high school I guess by itself. So what we have we went around Wayne and I went around principles and we went to going to all the schools that are moving things a lot of stuff to our elementary and basically things divided up into three categories. Things were taking and moving for them to be moving where they're taking things for the disposal list and then Some things we're going to save storage tables and we have a couple of really good uh classroom sets of desk the old 60s and 70s
014desktops what we have here. So there's just a lot of stuff on this because this something. So this might be silly question but it's not saying that the graph property itself is obsolete. We cannot because we're not selling the property, right? It's just the physical structure. Yeah, it's going to be to Yeah. Do we need to specify that somebody's not going to walk up and say, "I want this property." Because the legal address and all this stuff that's in there. And do you know what I'm trying to get at? Oh, I see. Am I phrasing that correctly? Yes. We're not selling the property. We're simply the school. But we're declaring it obsolete here. The school I mean, so that's the real property. No building, but we list the property legal. I see where she's coming
015from. That's good. Maybe it just need to be structure located at physical structure or something. I don't I would say yeah I would say structure cuz that separated from the does say grab school located at say property legal take out the property property in but you should say the structure located at that separate physical structure and all contents located at yeah maybe just again some of those contents are going to be moved Some of those contents are going to be saved and then with contents we leave in there, but we do have to declare the building itself. So we can Yeah, I want to do that. I just don't want them to be like, okay, this is sweet, you know. Okay, if we could amend the [Music] motion to do whatever you want. So you
016don't necessarily have recycling and technical sense the school that buildings are no longer going to be used as function and like I said we don't have this as reuse and we are turn it's going to be undesirable too. Okay. So going back to based off of that conversation, are we okay with how it's presented and with the motion on the table? Everybody else kind of stand, right? No one can walk up with anything that we have on here and say I want that. We choose as a district how we're going to get rid of it. Whether that's donation uh dump or sell it or recycle comments questions from public audience not seeing or hearing action item G of the surplus property resolution approval the motion Motion by Chris, seconded by Donnie.

Once again, thank you very much for those uh department heads who go and do all of these reports. I know that it is
019busy to put those together and provide us what you guys are up to. So, we do appreciate that. Keeps us up to date. Um, going down through activities. You've not been very busy. You need to put another 1,300 kids on the campus, please. Um, curriculum. We have a few things still going as well. So, members, board members, if you see anything you want to comment on, please let me know. Facilities food services, student services. I believe we have some award winners in the room. Congratulations. Yes, ma'am. Uh, that's way back up there. No, you're good. You're good. I was just curious about the exit doors comment that was in the report. Is there exit doors in particular that are giving us grief or just in general exit doors are a problem? There's some that are
020specifically giving us a problem. Yes, the doors of how many times We have a a door at the We have a door that that goes into the uh the weight room sports performance facility. That's uh those are aluminum frame doors and they just take a beating. So, we're having some reinforcement done to it. And then we have some doors coming out the east side of the gym. A couple different points. We're having some problems with those doors. So, we've talked about limiting some use. And uh well, Wayne and I have talked to a few options, but they're not cheap. Just the double doors exiting the old weight room area. There's a set of double doors that go out to the east there towards the practice field. Just to replace those with the equivalent is right
021around $30,000 just to replace those doors. So, we're thinking about just kind of closing them off for now and they're not required for exiting the gym and as far as like fire safety things like that. So, we're just talking about some of those. So, those those would be examples of what would be paid with a building reserve fund as an example. Uh those doors have been opened a million times since they've been put in. So everywhere else back down to technology and transportation. Wonderful. Julie, as always, thank you so much for your financial reports. I'll go through each one of them. If you need anything or you have a question, please don't hesitate. Bond expenses, cash report, revenue report, expenditure report, high school activities, middle school activities, Principles, thank you again for your time. I
022know it's busy, especially at the end of the year when a bunch of stuff is happening and seems like school is almost out. So, thank you very much. South west graph, I personally like that because Yellowstone National Park is my favorite. So, I'm very excited for them to learn about that. I think I travel there at least 10 times a year. Um, middle school and high school. Thank you for including that. So once again, thank you guys very much for putting this together. going through committee meetings, leadership and learning March 6th. Yes, ma'am. That's a great question. Who made those? come through. They come through like they do it. We have an AI that's following it. And that could be Yeah. I don't know. I've never used that. I know. I look at Somebody else
023district operations March 17th down to superintendent report. Thank you very much for putting all yours together as well. Mr. Torres, resignation report longer list than I'd like to see, but job vacancies MT, excuse me, MTFBA leaison report. Donnie, I don't really have a much much I don't really have a lot to report um other than it's basically all legislative and going fast and furious, but kind of seems to be leaving education behind. We started strong and not much is going on. We're on 73rd day of a 90day session. So, still triple digits. There's still triple digits for education related bills. uh a few that are like the stars act are still rolling. Um there's one that they're confident. We're hearing a lot of conflict. There's also one that um will could possibly help with some
024A&B money for sixth graders, changing the student payment for A&B for sixth graders to be equal to the middle school junior high school payment and not making it an elementary payment, which would help us considerably overall. Just a lot of that stuff going on. still a lot. There's over 100 still floating up that they're just done. At some point, they might not even address them. So, fingers crossed and do some talking if you're up to it. All right. March high school book order. and graphic report. All righty, that is forformational. So again, thank you very much to everybody down into discussion. Um I know that we a couple meetings ago asked to bring the goodbye graph and then we added the admin building on there as well. Um, so kind of discussion on, you know,
025do we want to do a send off? Do we want to do an open house? Do we want to possibly sell bricks from grab? Like what do we want? What what what do we want to help the community have this farewell goodbye for these buildings that history in our community? One of the things I I talked to our owners rep just because he builds a lot of buildings for schools and he says he's seen the things that we just talked about the the selling of brick or the um a lot of open houses where you just open it up for people to come in and wander for an hour or two and and they might come in and w look at their old classroom or something then walk out just to kind of say goodbye.
026So, those have been fairly popular in in towns. Um, or or whatever this board wants to do, we could do something. And this, of course, we'd love to hear from you guys as well. If we're going to celebrate, when would they? It would be a pretty short window. I imagine we could uh because we obviously just can't knock down walls and handing people bricks. So, we would have to decide just how we were going to obtain those bricks. And it, you know, what's that? Probably wouldn't be associated with an open house. It probably have to come later once they start knocking down some things. We go in and take some bricks. I'm not sure how many we would have to open and then take or Sure. later. Sure. But when when are they? Uh it'll
027be have to be abated. Wayne, do you remember? I don't They didn't really give us a date, but I imagine end of Juneish will be about when they would do a tear down. That's correct. It's going to take about So probably end of July. Well, well into July then probably. June. I I think if you're doing an open house, yeah, sometime early June, right after we get out of school, we'll have uh stored things in there. Not this June. This right? Oh, it's coming down this summer. This year? This summer. That's coming down. June of 2025. that July of 2025 that building's coming down. A whole year like we've done this whole year. What are we talking about? Like to have that uh grass growing like to have that grass growing on that softball field
028or the soccer and and so it can be used as quickly as possible. We need that 2025 is 10 fast guys. It's been a couple years already. We have to burn that box through sometime next year, don't we? We don't we have till like next May all uh Yeah, we have another Yeah, I think we have another year. Right. Yes. And we we could even do it. We could even do it that last week of school if it's an evening thing. Sure. I mean, in the end, you're just f people are wandering. They're not just, you know, taking stuff. They're just wandering. And we could do it uh that last week even or sometime in May. That's why you're right. Because don't they want to start like the next day? Aren't they going to start
029pulling stuff out of there? Gonna be like pulling a bunch of stuff out there like the next day, right? Yeah. So um I'll say you know so they have to go through a bunch of asbestous abatement that's going to be the first thing they start working soon as they start that we're kicked out of the building. So as far as I know there's like a week of timeline after school is done before they start as abatement. So it have to be in that period of time. Um also in that period of time I'm going to be madly pulling things down and ripping things apart. So it won't be the best time to uh tour through the building per se. So, I would recommend doing it before school's out because I'm going to be pulling all
030the doors apart. I'm going to be pulling all of the uh classrooms stations apart, be pulling out all of the wireless access points, all the camera infrastructure. So, we won't have any of that in place. Well, I mean, piece by piece, but yeah, as quickly as I can. I'm also going to start probably doing that a little bit early with things that we can start to get rid of because that that timeline is very challenging. So, but as far as I know, it's like the week before Christmas starts. I mean, they're going to hit it hard and they'll be going it'll be they'll have all sorts of plastic stuff and everything. So, I I do I think sometime in late May or that the first week of June, we could have an evening and this
031too, this building as well. I mean, we could do this one pretty much anytime. We could even do it in the fall separate. Yeah. Are we going to get that? It was in the buy. Are we going to be able to get that high school? No, I don't think so. The current cost us money to do it because there's some structural components to it. But at the same time, the buyer does what he says he wants to do and he wants to keep the building kind of in that the Floral High School condominium. Nice to have Laurel High School out there. That's the goal. I mean, they're he was going to plaster. Yeah. Take it out. What he's doing and bring the facade back. The legacy of the building lives on sort of. Okay. So,
032yes, ma'am. So with Miss Peterson, would it be possible for like the kids that last name school to maybe like sign their names on the walls or each class some like tribute to their you know to their class or I don't know like something for the kids or every kid that even every kid who's gone through there if you went to school there you sign your name like everybody you know I We [Music] could do it on the gym wall. We could do it on realistically anywhere. open or is like is there like a a video production class where the kids send off a well like come in and like interview the kids and say all this about Brad and then we can post it to the community their last farewell will be this day
033even do it with high school middle school kids too because they all Well, we have Chase I have station is Mrs. Wedge and Mrs. Peterson are sharing duties. Mrs. Wetch will be taking on the bulk of duties after this week. And so if she maybe Mrs. what you could work and talk to your teachers and see if there's something they want to do with the kids. Yeah, our teachers too. Sure. But could you guys maybe they want to share a message and then compile it to Facebook open. last week where we invite everybody that last day school and they're going to be packing up and we'd have to do it in the evening of you know some some evening so it won't be bothering anybody right people can we open up classrooms for people to
034walk could we do it the day of that senior walkth through because they would go through it and then that way the seniors have done it and then everybody else can seniors can sign as they walk through even if something like that. That might be cool because they all have to go through it anyway. So is it is that Friday before uh uh is that the Friday or Thursday before Memorial Day? It's May 29th. May 29th before memorial. Was it after memorial? Yeah. Will that be the 5th? Yeah. June May 29thmorial. Okay. Then the seniors graduate on June 1st. June 1st or whatever. Got it. trees or something. Well, the to my understanding the little flower planter in front is Hey, they're going to turn that into a sign. That was their original plan. I
035have to check with them to make sure, but that was that was one of their plans. They were going to use the brick from the building to create sign. What are we doing? Our memorial trees will stay uh anyone's still around. I I know there's one person, I believe, in a nursing home building. We can bring this back, but I mean if I'm understanding graph, we would like to at least do an open house sometime on the last week of school pending when it would be best for teachers and students and all that. Um potentially doing an open yearbook maybe allowing the seniors to when they do their walk through that they could possibly start off unless teachers there believe that maybe the students that if they're going through it maybe they can seniors can
036add the rest of the grades down kind of that first that week sounds like are we all on board for that last week so I guess we'll organize something for that last week [Music] for the building just kind of pushing all and just maybe touch base with it once once more. I mean the community can I think you already have people coming through the community anyways asking to we have about one every week or two that'll that I've walk through this building or just say can I wander for a minute not you know it's up and down but we've had a few people come through maybe owner bring those renderings Yeah, maybe maybe as we get closer if they want to be a part of it. I could ask. That's probably more of an October
037thing, but I'll [Music] actually I think the difference well like this one they were able to move into a new school and there was a window of time but I think that that you have some investment and that's why I [Music] wonder if we did the second [Music] gives a others. What about the way that school night's all going on Sunday afternoon show up? You know, he's like, we're gonna do something over Memorial Day weekend. I think that'll be a little tougher. Tell you that's a tougher time to do it. Um, weekend. How about How about this? How about I How about we put it on the next um board meeting as well? That gives staff um and Mr. Torque some time to visit what that looks like. have them look at the calendar and
038that that would be April 28th. So that still gives us you know about a month give or take to kind of then we can start community and all that. That sound okay? Okay. Okay. Sound good to to those out there in the All righty. Moving through our discussion. There has been an update on the stars act and a possible need for anou. So Mr. Yeah, we we're getting a lot of information from schoolboard association and from school administrators of Montana group that uh schools who are working towards the stars act like for example during the negotiations looking at changing a matrix uh to make sure it meets the requirements of the stars act. Um that all has to be into the state saying we will be following the stars act for us to qualify we
039have to be able to assure the state by May 15th that we will meet the requirements of the stars act. So since a lot of schools will not be done be done negotiating at that time, uh they they recommend that schools have anou uh assuring both signed by the school and both signed by the union assuring that that we will meet that stars act. Um the good news is is that Laurel already partway there and we pro we already meet the first year of the stars act requirement. So, looks like we won't have to do an MOU this year to make sure we meet the STARS Act because we'll we're already we're already meeting the basis that first year of the STARS Act. Um that doesn't mean in the future we won't need one, but
040we are in pretty good shape right now and and we have some plans um how we can meet that in the future as well. So, but again, that's all part of a negotiation process. So you you hear things or see emails about, oh, this has got to happen right now. We're we're on it. Uh we have to have theou done by May 15th should we need it right now. I talked to Lance Melton at uh schoolboard association and in talking with him he doesn't think we need it. Said, "No, you guys are where you're at." I showed him and talked to him and talked to Julie where we're at with our stars act breakdown and we think we're in good shape. So, if you hear that or see that, I sent you the email. Um,
041but I think we're we're we're not going to need that this question on that. Okay. Question item down to board resignations and the process to replace a board member. So, it's come to our attention that uh our old uh county soup viewed the law differently, but our new county soup views it and interprets it completely opposite. So, um when Chris Bogley gave his resignation, this new county superintendent said the moment that they give it does not matter if we accept it or go to a board meeting and say, "Yes, we're going to accept it." the moment it is produced and given to the school that is when the countdown starts. 60 days starts at that moment. Uh whereas the the old superintendent did just interpret it a little different to where it was 60 days
042started when the board accepted the resolution. So that was kind of a start point. So that's what we were going by. In fact, I remember saying it at this board meeting. Okay, you accepted a recognition. You have 60 days. Um so we made sure we checked with the county attorney. the county attorney. It is a little fuzzy, but they said their interpretation would be the minute you get the resignation uh through that email or whatever it is, the 60 days starts right then. So, what that means is uh we uh had 60 days then to appoint Mrs. Anderson. She was appointed after the 60 days by this board. So what it really meant was is the county superintendent sent us a appointment because if you don't appoint someone at before 60 days is up then
043the county superintendent appoints someone to your board. So he technically she signs the paperwork on Friday so she is here all legal and she was appointed by the superintendent. Um, I called and talked to um, everyone and yeah, Chris or Jeff Weldon and Larry Martin or Fel Martin about any issues we could have with uh, voting records. She made no motions. Uh, she tried to make a second today but was shut down. Yeah. So, she's made no motions. We had no 43 votes or or or votes where her vote would matter. So, We're okay with that. We don't need to bring anything back before the board. So, we checked that all. So, we're in pretty good shape. We just need to make sure that we're going by the date of the resignation as opposed to
044the date, not the date it's accepted by the board. And it did and it um was kind of an example. If that trustee sends that letter in paste and then sleeps on it, turns around the next day and says, "Oh, no. I want to take it back." They can't. They would have to send in their letter of interest and go through the whole process. Go through the process to be just know going forward if you get angry at the board and you want to resign, just know it's it it's done the moment you send that wrong, you know, just don't just know there's no taking it back.
