001ready to go. >> Okay, we'll go ahead and call the meeting to order. Um, we do have a quorum with everyone here. Mr. Miller, would you lead us in the pledge of allegiance? I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for its nation and justice for all. >> Hey Dan, how are you? >> I'm doing great guys. Thank you. >> Dan, before we go, tonight's the night we got to reorganize the board. So it'll be a little bit before >> that you're just fine. >> Okay. Okay. The first item of business is reorgan reorganizing board of trustees. 2.1 is initial discussion of procedures and expectations for the coming year. Okay. So procedures um obviously in 2.2 we're going to square in the trustees who won by acclamation.
002We'll go we'll go one by one. We have county superintendent Mike Miller here to uh initiate and take us through that process. Once the trustees are rolling in we will then have nominations for a chairperson. If we receive multiple nominations then we'll we'll vote for each nomination. If we receive one we'll vote and that person's just stuck with the same us for vice chairperson. Then finally, we'll elect and swear in a district clerk. Our expectations for the coming year are to continue the the progress and continue on the items that uh we've been working on this current year. Those include increasing our graduation rate as high as we can possibly hit it to be excellent. That's our ultimate goal. Making sure that every student is either college or career ready. We do voting here. We
003don't just do college. We do grade school. we and go right in the workforce. We want every student to be prepared whatever path they may choose. And we've got some projects we need to finish, including facility projects like the ASIT building repair. And so we have a number of things. I look forward to working with you all as we move into year two. Any questions, Gary? >> No, sure. >> So we'll swear in. Do you want to do them individually, Mike, or do them together? It's up to you guys. How would you guys rather build together? Let's >> do it again. >> I have a long speech thanking the people that are departing and another long speech congratulating the new Okay, we're not going to do that today. >> Suzanne, I'm assuming you have that.
004So, if I could have the Are there three? Okay. So, could I have the three folks who have been selected by acclamations for the >> over there? It's up to you. That's Roxan. >> So in the in the U both it says uh I uh that you can either use I swear or I affirm and at the end you can either say so help me God or you don't have. It's all in parenthesis. All right. >> I do solemnly swear >> I that I will support, protect, and defend >> protect and defend >> the Constitution of the United States >> the Constitution of the State of Montana. >> Constitution of State of Montana. >> And that I will discharge the duties of my office >> discharge the duties of my office >> with fidelity. I
005think we're in. >> Congratulations. Congratulations. Thanks everybody. >> Thank you. >> Stay participate. Okay, while he's doing that, the first thing we need to do is select the chairman so that nominations are open for chairman. >> I nominate Gary Wood, the chairman position. >> Sorry. >> Are there any other nominations for the board or for chairman of the board? There any other nominations for chairman of the board? Are there any other nominations for chairman of the board? Got to do it three times. >> Seeing none. Um, all those in favor of Gary Love being chairman say I. >> Those opposed. >> Thank you. I appreciate your support. Okay. ABS does elect a vice chairman of the board. Nominations are open for vice chairman. >> Roxan second. >> Angler has been nominated and seconded for vice
006chairman of the board. Are there any other nominations for vice chairman? There any other nominations for vice chairman? Are there any other nominations for vice chairman? Seeing none, all those in favor of Roxan say I. >> I. is opposed. Passes unanimously. Congratulations, Rox. Thank you, please. >> Thank you for doing it. Next, we need to elect and swear in a district clerk. So, nominations are open for district clerk. >> Nominate Suzanne. District clerk position. >> Second. >> Suzanne Baldick has been nominated and seconded for the district clerk. Are there any other nominations for district clerk? Any other nominations for district clerk? Are there any other nominations for district clerk? Seeing none, all those in favor say I. I. Those opposed. Passes unanimous. You might need to swear union. >> Congratulations. >> The same thing again.
007You don't have to say help me God. And you can say I swear I I do solemnly swear that I will support, protect and defend Constitution of the United States in the Constitution of the State of Montana that I discharge the duties of my office. Fidelity so to God. Congratulations. Yes. >> Thank you everyone. I don't think I will be back unless we have to swear people in in the first semester and by this time next year you'll have a new county superintendent. Only one person filed for the for the office. So we're guessing that uh Dana Bazelle who is working at the courthouse right now will be the new county. >> Who is what? >> Dana Vel. She works more the road department and she's the administrative assistant for the county commissioners. She's a
008nine-year veteran of so she had all the qual qualifications and the files. >> So again, I will say thank you for all the hard work you guys do and congratulations on continuing that guys. See you down the road. Mike, thank you for serving Mike. You were great with >> Mike and I went to Boy State together about 10 years ago. Yeah, Mike was my English teacher and track coach only about 10 years ago. >> See, I still had I had color in my color >> and I could visit. Yes, we have Casey Elliot Curry just left mega just welcome everyone the entire meeting You can leave anytime and we will not hurt her feelings. >> Okay, here we go. Let's um next thing then be re review and approval of the minutes in the April
00915th meeting mailed in the packet. >> Move for approval. Second move second to approve the minutes as mailed. Is there any discussion or questions? All those in favor say I. Okay. Next is review approval of the claimment accounts. Okay, eight pages which is kind of typical. Um we'll just go through as usual. If there's anything you see I don't mention please let me know and I'll explain what that claim is related to. We don't have anything on the first page that would just uh stand out to me because I'm happy to go over anything that you page two is much the same. Nothing really jumps off the page yet. was the sorry I don't or line 18 at the top that's I'll pick up stuck in a secret trip there was that was a trip
010to Vegas to pick up the likely used activity bus which has already been put to I've been road like it was good. >> Yes. Have nothing but had rave reviews from the drivers that have been able to take it out on voyages so far. hoping to find another one this like it's kind of a good month we have many new expenses just really catch a breath of fresh air it's good page four a couple smaller ones just because any may not be familiar they're not reoccurring expenses is middle down the page it' be item 20701 and that's intuitive architecture related to the AC of repair that's the architect we have hired that's the first deal we received from them for work under smart that cost was $1,8649 keep it as low as possible afford a
011item is directly below Below that, that's item 20702. That's Infinite Campus. That's our new student information system. So, that's part of the cost uh for implementation of that new system. Again, we're switching from power school to Infinite Campus. And that cost was $2,867 8. Also brings us into align with the elementary who has been using Infinite Campus for some time. side to kind of be on the same page with district 10, our student information system. And then lastly, towards the bottom of the page there, item 20704, that's K12 Montana, Inc. That's our monthly bill. I know it's still kind of new, so that's $2,812. They've been working with us on updating our technology infrastructure. Our contract with them ends July 1st. So, I'm working with Mr. Paul on uh some potential options to maybe maintain
012some form of service with them. I don't know if we'll have the exact same contracts, but there's a still a few items we'd like to knock out before school starts next year. And I imagine that we will keep some kind of partnership with them in some capacity. Any questions? Three. Any others? Okay. Page five. You'll see in the middle of the page 20711, that's Montana Association. That's $1,584 for legal services for the contract architect contract for the ASIT building. So, that's been done and Dan will speak a little bit more about that later. It's been making suggested revisions and that's been sent back to Dan and Dan been in touch with Langlas and associates on suggested revisions. But that's what that is specifically related to. Any other questions on claims on page five? They charge
013hourly. Yes. >> 250 charges 250 charges. >> Deborah was the one who handled this. probably our top. There's nothing else on page five. I'll go to page six. Nothing jumps off. If you have any questions, I'll answer them. Brandon attorney a fair amount off to limit that. As much as we appreciate their service and excellent work, we hope to have no more bus to some time. At the last page, page seven, nothing jumps off the page. Again, happy to answer your questions. Good. 56 claims with 54 v uh 54 vendors with $59,767.93. Page eight shows the breakout funds for how those claims were paid. >> I would move to approve the claims and seconded. Is there any questions discussion? Those in favor say I. I I those public comment I have one letter. Does anybody
014else have anything in Shannon? Will let me read this letter real quick. Shannon, this is to Beaverhead County High School dated April 2nd to the chairman of the board and members. This is from Lindsay Rouse Fur. I just wanted to take a moment and express my sincere gratitude for everything the BCA desk teachers and staff do for my son. You have a wonderful group of teachers. As a parent, it can be challenging to watch your child struggle in school, but knowing he is surrounded by such a compassionate and dedicated group brings me great comfort. The teachers that Tayen has go above and beyond to help him succeed. I truly appreciate the patience, understanding, and extra efforts that you all consistently show. Whether it is offering additional help, accommodations, or simply helping encourage him. Those moments
015matter more than we can tell you. Because of you all, he is not just getting an education, but he is learning perseverance, confidence, and that there are people who genuinely care about his success. Thank you for believing in Tate and for supporting our family in a big way. We're incredibly grateful for all of you with appreciation. Lindsay Bur. >> So, Mr. Chair, should I talk about it now or can I talk about it when we get to it on the agenda? How do you want me to go ahead and talk about it now? >> Appreciate Shannon Magnus. So, when you get down to um 7.6, that's a part of it. I'd like to talk to you about for a minute. So, first off, I misspoke last month on some of those A and B calculations
016and I've been talking to lawyers that stuff. So, the the 4D that I mentioned is for pupils and there's a definition for pupils. So, I just thank lawyers for and politicians I guess making it complicated. So, and y'all will discuss this the the part-time students and the homeschoolers that have enrolled and the way it says now and Mr. Patterson will go over all this talking about the two classes versus the one class. The two classes will get you the partial quarter A and B funding. One class gets you nothing. And um how many students do you have that are just doing one class and four? >> Four. Next year we've only have only had one that hasn't already agreed to go to two, but we're going to require just one and a half, >> but
017we still get paid if one and a half. >> That's what OPI says. One and a half. >> Okay. So, see, now you're getting different stuff. Great. Anyway, I appreciate that and I'll stay to listen to that conversation. Uh what I was going to say is if I've already talked to several legislators this week and u we're there's already draft on the bill adding another line in there for an eighth A and B which would classify as one class versus two. So you have eighth quarter half and full. So but we don't go back in session till January. So depending on which I'll come up with and the and the from everything I've been told the board can decide this. So, and we'll let y'all get through the conversation. My ask to the board would
018be at least for fall, if we could continue to allow those couple students to do one class, we'll get in session in January. Hopefully get that changed. We don't want to short. We're not trying to cut anybody out of money. I know how the A and B works and I know how you need that. So if for fall if we can do that for those few students to do one class and if y'all could approve that then let us get up there and get that put into code where you can get that 18 and then then you would have all kinds of options for the students that want to enroll one class two classes or have time. Well, that's my ask to you. If it gets that far, I would appreciate if we could do
019that at least through the fall and continue because most of them are in kind of music band kind of classes, right? They're not like just coming from math. Am I correct or not? >> And so that's that's a big deal of a lot of the kids. And >> so Shannon, will you guys the way you want to understand it? If they >> do one, they get 1/8, they do two, they'd get a quarter. If they do three, would they get 38 then? Would it be stairstepped right up? >> Well, if you Yes, that's what we're thinking. >> So, in the code, it's broken down into the hours. 180 to 359 aggregate hours. People instruction is one quarter time. That's the minimum right now. So, we would like to add a line just before that below
020that something to 180 would be 1/8 time. Then so you'd have a quarter 1/8 one quarter halftime I guess. I mean we could really tick it up but that would just be up to but the plan is right now is to add that so at least to catch that. So from what I understand and you get different opinions, but a lot of people that talk to that have provided there's room, right? There's got to be a room. >> The most of what it seems like the ones that are doing the one class are like we just talked about their band and music or course things like that. You know, they're not for science class and um communities and school boards have just been gracious taking that on. But we will look back to fix that.
021So anyway, that's my ask for the fall and so I'll listen to y'all's discussion. >> Are you going to stick around for that? >> I will stick around for that. >> There's a lot of information I have. I think you'll be on the phone. So you can make one phone call and get information X and then make another phone call and get information Y. This person told me >> this information is our board policy as it currently stands and some flexibility that that you can share with those that want to know. >> Yeah. And like I said from the latest and greatest information I've got it's with the way Montana set up with school boards have power and autonomy. So one school may say yes and one school may say no but yeah I'll stick
022around. Okay. >> Any other public comment? >> Yes. >> So, and I'm remissed in this, but and this may have been relayed already, but I did want to come and say that um when we had our basketball tournament in Great Falls, we had three buses in Great Falls. Um that and then it got cold and then it got snowy and then it got real nasty. So, we ended up staying in Great Falls for an extra night. Brock Milaki did an incredible job lining out because we'd already given up our rooms. We'd done all of this stuff and we were ready to leave. Brock did an incredible job getting rooms lined up again in literally the same hotels we were in. They hadn't, you know, cleaned them yet and he had to go between two hotels
023to get that done. He coordinated everything with the students and the teachers and the bus drivers and everybody else. And I just went to her like that >> and parents. Yes, it was it was a busy little burger. >> Jean, thank you for all you've done as best driver Kirk and >> Yeah. >> Jack and all the things you've done for us tremendous. >> Yeah. We appreciate it immensely and we do appreciate Brock. Any other public comment communication? Okay. The next item then under the superintendent report would be Mr. McGee. Dan, you're up. >> Thank you. And first off, I want to apologize. I was not able to get a report in uh that you guys could physically see so I can follow up with this after this meeting with kind of a a write
024up of what we discuss. One of the reasons was I was waiting for feedback from the general contractor and some additional information that our building envelope specialist had requested from them to do a little more exploring. So, since we met last time, you guys approved uh hiring Sean Scott from Enclose. He's a building envelope specialist. Uh as soon as he received that signed agreement, he dug into the drawings and we had several meetings kind of outlining what his role is. And he is very detailed and very knowledgeable about building science. um started out as an architect and then realized there's issues with the way maybe buildings are designed and moved into the engineering and the science of how buildings perform. And so um in digging in he um asked us to install some humidity sensors
025within the within the building. So through Dr. Patterson and and Jake, we were able to place three humidity sensors just to kind of see what the interior of that building feels like. Uh we monitor those. Um we were provided those that information. I'll show you a couple clips here u when I go to share my screen. But I just want to walk you through kind of what we've been working with. We proposed to him kind of the three paths that we had initially talked about which was a exterior insulation with a metal skin. We talked about the um filling in and sealing the CMU, putting an interior insulation wall on those high R or the the shop space classrooms. Uh and the one that we threw out early, if you recall, was the Ephus solution,
026which is an exterior insulation with a stucco type finish on it. We had concerns about the um our wildlife in Montana loves the sound of that. So, we had quickly thrown that one out, went with the two, which was the coating and a metal um metal product. We talked a little bit about budget um with not only the facilities committee but the board talking about what those solutions looked like uh and the potential costs for them. So he analyzed all that and then he started to develop the science around each of those solutions and has continued to ask some pretty pointed questions about the actual performance of the building and the comfort within it. Um and so what I'm going to show you are the options that he laid out from a science standpoint. Um
027and then kind of going through his recommendations and why um you know through this he's like I said he's very detailed and he wants everybody to understand the way that the science works and so he's offered actually if there's anybody within the building uh any of the classes that would be interested in a 20 minute kind of webinar for building science and why we're looking at what we're looking at. he's willing and would would love to offer that as a a benefit of having him as part of our team. And so, as you guys kind of hear this, it might be something that uh we could offer to one of the science classes, maybe the the wood or the egg shop, just to see how do buildings affect and people within a building affect the
028environment within it. And then how do you kind of take a step back and and look at um not encapsulating a problem and trying to fix those things? Just as we've said, we don't want to cover something and have it create some issue that's going to, you know, rear its head in 10 years that we didn't think about. So, I'm going to try to share my screen here and all right, Dr. Patterson, looks like you'll have to turn on sharing. a second. Sorry, I I was working on compiling these as I've received photos and that just this afternoon to to kind of fill in some of the blanks. So, I apologize. >> See if that works, Dan. >> Oh, there we go. Perfect. All right. You guys seeing that layout there? You guys seeing that
029drawing? There's some photos. >> Okay, perfect. All right. So, what what Sean did was take he took our um infrared camera uh photos. He took all of the reports from that the the corrected concepts that we had and he started laying out some some options for us. So, as you look to the left, we've got our exterior wall. So, he's got an image here um that we'll zoom in on. So, the two images top and bottom represent what we currently have. This is representative of what the wall looks like on our science wing. So, we've got our C split face CMU block. We've got a furred wall, insulation, and sheetrock. Um, and the path that we had talked about is saying, "Hey, we're going to we're going to seal this CMU up with a sealer,
030and then we're going to paint it." And then we would maintain the interior as a sheetrock finished wall on the classroom side. And then down below the similar with the high R block, we were looking at putting a coating on it, painting it. Um, so some of the questions that he started to ask are, okay, well that's fine, but we're still not meeting our R value. So that's where we started to talk about putting this interior finish on it. So our secondary option and this is what we had proposed in our last meeting was again high RCMU block interior. This would be our shop space the the egg classroom shop uh the wood shop classroom. Um coat that paint it come in interior. Now our solution that we had proposed was a furred out wall
031with insulation and sheetrock. Again, one of the things he starts to worry about is where's moisture going to land? And he uses those humidity sensors to be able to determine, well, if the temperature outside is X and we've got a relative humidity on the interior, there's going to be a point in that wall where that that moisture is going going to want to condense. So, he's proposing that if you're going to do that solution, we would end up needing to put a a layer of spray foam, which would actually create that barrier to where no moisture would go inside the wall. So, we'd be sealing it on the outside, but if we didn't put anything that's a closed cell, that moisture could find its way into the center of the wall. So, that's a little
032change that he had said, if you're going to do that, you're going to probably want to consider. Um and then this is a representation where he's saying and if you're doing that on the shop space side, you're going to have the same problem on your classroom or your science uh that northern classroom. So it's proposing that you'd want to remove all the sheetrock, spray foam everything to seal that block and then rebuild it with your insulation. That starts to trigger our budget. So he he's kind of working through his solutions um with the design team, contracting team uh to to show how the science works. Um so lot lots of information. What what this is going to turn into is I'm going to request a facilities meeting with our small group with Shawn to be
033able to talk through some of these solutions and help us understand to drive to the right project. Um his recommendation at this point is to look back at the Ephus solution and that threw some red flags up to not only the design team, myself as well as Langless is because of the concern of what that potentially introduces which is birds, wildlife impact resistance, those kind of things were were and then the lookup you know concern of hey are we're going to have a stucco looking building. He's worked with it. It's in his opinion based on the science, it's the best solution that to to solve a lot of the issues that the buildings have uh or the building has. And he said, you know, the the thing that you're thinking about is 20 year 20
034years ago how this stuff was built versus how they build it now. Um, these images in the middle are actually an Epha system that are made to look like metal or brick and those are all high impact or bird resistance products um, which then come at a premium. So, some of the stuff that I was waiting for today was the budgetary discussion so that I could say, "Hey, if it's, you know, $2 million, it's not even on the table and we need to pull back." Uh, in all actuality, we found a company here locally u that does this and gave us a couple examples of projects in Missoula that that he's done. Um, one of them is 15 years old and I didn't realize that it was done this way. There's zero bird damage at
035all to it and it's a high impact. Um, so just he just wanted to show that it doesn't have to look and act like the old stuff that we're used to. Okay. Any questions? Real I mean I know I'm going through a lot. Dan, would that would we have to paint that or would that be >> would that go on in a color that we wouldn't have to paint? >> Uh, we would it would go on in a color that has a tint in it and then there would be a probably a 7 to 10 year refinish. Um, but depending on what style, if we decided something that's got more of a metal look or a block look, there's going to be a lot less maintenance to it versus a paint. So it'd be probably
036a lot similar more similar to to the finish that we had proposed which is a sealer and a paint which you'd have about a seven to 10 year maintenance plan for it. Does that answer your question? >> Yes. >> Okay. All right. So I'm going to jump down to the next page. So, one of the things that that he was concerned and Sean is the gentleman's name is that you we're addressing the walls and as we look at the the detailing of how the wall to to roof detail was done, he has some concerns about this connection right here. So, it's kind of a bad fuzzy detail, but we've got this metal deck that runs along horizontal to our our roof trusses. There's these gaps in our what we're trying to avoid is what they
037call a thermal gap. So, we have insulation that stops. there's metal that intersects it that touches the outside of the wall and that transfers hot, cold, moisture, those kind of things. So, he's got a real big concern with, hey, we're going to we're going to trap all this moisture in the building and it's going to get into this space and condense and we're going to have potential of moisture, u mold, rust, whatever it could be. Um, and that's where that relative humidity um comes into play that he's really trying to avoid. Um, so that's where these roof details as he starts to look at um h how are we going to seal up and protect where moisture is going to want to gather. So building science has started to prove uh that hey our membrane
038roof we've always treated that as our vapor barrier but we don't have anything protecting the bottom side of it and that's where the moisture is going to build up from occupants. So as you know as you sit in a building humidity goes up that's going to rise up because it's hot and it's going to want to condense somewhere and we want to try to avoid that. So, in his continued recommendation to go to an exterior product, it's going to allow us to wrap that insulation all the way up and over our parapit, have it land within the roof component, and that creates that exterior barrier that's going to keep the moisture to the exterior of the building. So, as part of his investigation, Langlo was down on site last week, had a roofer come in.
039We cord the roof in four different locations to see if there's any moisture building up at the base or underneath the insulation. And so far, all the results show that there's no moisture that's below our membrane and above our metal pan deck. So, that's a good thing. And that kind of gave him a a better understanding that how the building is performing and then can continue to develop those details to ensure that as Langless continues to find those subcontractors to provide the work um we know all the potential pitfalls and we can address them through the detailing of the building. Um so long and short is I would love to get another facilities meeting. um you know within the next week or so uh so that he can talk a little bit more about the
040science. We're going to have some better images uh to maybe go back and study. Would we consider an exterior solution? Uh I got the pricing late this afternoon, so I was reworking some numbers. Um it is actually it's less than the metal and it's slightly higher than the painted solution. But as we've talked through it, I'm starting to lean back to the idea that it might be something for us to really consider to not create an interior um problem that would go uncovered uh or unforeseen for for some time before maybe something would happen to the building in 10 or 15 years that we'd like to try to avoid. Um, >> Dan, how does Lang feel about the uh the Ephus? >> They're based on based on the the latest information and the subcontractors that
041they spoke with, they're more lining up with in favor of it as well. Um, but I want to show you a couple examples. So, um, these are the the relative humidity reports that we were able to get from our interior monitors. You know, when I look at these numbers, you know, as we know, Montana's a s not a super wet area, but at 20% rel or 24% relative humidity. And then they look at the exterior temperatures and they're like, "All right, at that, you know, 67 degree average, the days that we were monitoring this, um, the relative humidity at the at the peak of the day is about 50% based on the occupancy of that building. And we'd love to keep that lower." And I think that in in Sean's explanation is that we're getting
042um that's happening because of some of the the building envelope that's not completely sealed. So we're we're building up more humidity than what we need to because then the mechanical system isn't able to get rid of that how it was designed. Um, and so he's happy to see that there was no humidity in that roof layer, but he's wondering if it's stopping somewhere else. So, he's got some there's some building science things that he's starting to analyze now that he has that data that he received um just early this week. Um, so just kind of the science of it, how he's looking at it may be different than what we are from an aesthetic standpoint. Um, and I think going back to our not wanting to cover up a problem just to say we fixed
043it. Um, and create something that maybe not this board but a future board would have to deal with down the uh, you know, down the line. Um, so big concerns about even considering it. This is a building that was built two years ago and this was one that Langless did and as you can see the birds have had their way with it. This is not a bird proof system. This was a low dollar basic ephus system. Um, this is right here in Missoula. So, I was able to go and look at it and I'm like, that is not acceptable. Um, but the gentleman that we spoke with that lives in Missoula, uh, did this project and this is at the Holiday in downtown Missoula and this is 15 years old and there is zero bird
044penetrations anywhere in it. Um, it's a standard stucco type finish, not the look that I think we would be looking for. Um, so we we were able to get a price. The the metal that we had originally proposed that still had some issues with enclosing the structure the way Ephus would um was about $28 a square foot. high-end impact resistant. Um, you I'm sorry, not $28. It was $48 a foot. Ephest, the high-end is about $35 a foot. And that's where you can get into an architectural type look to where we can have varying looks of the finish. Um, in the conversations that we've had with Sean and Langless as well as Marie, uh, it's starting to feel like we would be solving and not just covering up just to seal that block. We're actually
045going to address a bigger envelope issue that comes down to the initial design um and then the initial uh construction of this is going to address a lot of those potential misses that were there. I don't want to say that they were wrong because it it was obviously permitted. It was signed off. It's just the engineering science wasn't thought through. Um, and in the short time I've worked with Shawn, I've got another large project up in Flathead County that we have brought the issues up, understanding where the condensation can happen, and they're actually going in and revising details based on the engineering that Sean's provided before the construction even happens. So, um, lot of information. I apologize this wasn't in a written report, but I just was getting the data today. Um, so I'll file
046an official report that has this written out um, with a request to our facilities group to see when they would be available, you know, within the next short period of time to actually let us get a little more detail about what the look could be, maybe get some renderings. Um, and then have Shawn come on to to help define it maybe a little clearer. Um, with his kind of building science spin on it. Um, I'm leaning more I wasn't a big proponent of it obviously from the get-go. Um, but I've been more convinced in in the last week or so that this might be the right long-term solution for the district to solve all of them. And we're still well within well within our budget. um looking at making some assumptions on you know the
047hollow metal hollow metal windows sorry the hollow metal door exterior this those all those details around our exit doors would be addressed all the storefront window solutions would be addressed and actually would be probably easier to solve with this type of product because of the way it can be framed around our windows um so I'm start I'm I'm changing my tune, so to speak. Um, and feel a lot more like I get behind recommending this to the community as a as a long-term better solution than where we've been. >> Then Danny, if we put that product on, then that would cover the block completely. So you you wouldn't see anything? >> Yeah. Well, and that's what that's what I challenge. It's a great question because I challenged Marie today. Um because there are areas that
048I think you know say our you know the spine that runs between all the shops and the classrooms. We've got nice entry nice block. I don't know that we want to get rid of all that. So I've kind of challenged from an architectural um perspective on how do we maintain or keep a similar look. And that's where I think with this higherend product and the ability to add finishes that resemble um existing, I think we've got an opportunity to keep a lot of the architectural look of it. Um, you know, and and as we spoke today, Marie and I, you know, looking at the shop spaces, maybe that's a much simpler type of finish, not as not as simple as this, but then we focus and spend a little bit more time and effort on
049a on an architectural finish from the entries around on the classroom side. Um, and that's that's where that detailing comes in. uh and show you. We we'll collect some more samples of what those finishes could look like. Um all the the nice thing is the trades that Langless has been speaking with, they've all got availability. Um the other benefit of a solution like this, 98% of it is all exterior. So the schedule, you know, we're not going to impact classroom spaces like we would if we have to start tearing sheetrock off of classrooms and try to get that refinished before uh you know, middle of August. Um, so I'm I'm kind of feel like I'm going a little bit backwards, but with more data and more information, I feel like I can get to a
050a really good place to make a recommendation like this. Um, but obviously I want to have a much longer dialogue with the facilities group so that they feel as comfortable as I do um or potentially comfortable as I do uh in hearing it from the person that speaks that science a little bit clearer than I can. So in terms of a facility committee meeting um how does next Thursday the 14th is the 14th >> I'm actually out for a little bit >> but I you know >> and Sean would to try to keep our cost down would do it remotely so we can set it up in a teams or a zoom type meeting. Um, and be a lot more flexible with everybody's schedule. Uh, I feel it's going to be a an hour and
051a half, two hour discussion with a lot more representation of what the look could be. Um, so I want to make sure that I don't take too much of your time, but it it it's very interesting and and you're going to gain a lot of knowledge of why he's, you know, I I push back saying, well, you know, couldn't we spray foam the corners of the ceiling? Well, then he goes, well, no, we're going to have to we're going to have to do everything. Well, that changes the the the dollar um impact immensely. If all of a sudden we're taking down all the ceiling tiles to get up to spray foam, what are we hiding? you know, I mean, and I think that his he's really thinking through the science and having you guys hear
052it from him and the way he speaks about why and how things happen could help I think each of you gain a little more comfort. Um, and actually seeing a building that I've driven by and I've been in for the last 15 years not realizing that it was I thought it was a true stucco that why you wouldn't see the damage, but it is that high impact bird resistant product that's four miles away from that hotel that I showed you that's got bird holes all over it. Um, so I was surprised. I walked around it today and was pleasantly surprised at obviously there's, you know, the stuff down low where there's sidewalks and they've um maybe used a snowblower or a a blade. There are some areas that have damaged and those are the concerns
053that I brought to the design team saying, can a metal product be installed low to protect from mowing? And you know those are solutions that we have to still work through. Um, but within our budget, we can we can accomplish I think all of those um, you know, take care of any of those concerns that we might raise. >> Would does the 14th work for you or even uh, later in the afternoon? But anytime after anytime after 3:00, does that work for you, John? >> Yeah, I know. We got choir concert Wednesday. So, I bring that up. I've got a meeting with Montana Tech at about 3:30 later. >> Later in the day on the 14th works better for me. I've got a bid opening in Callispel that morning. Um, so if we did I
054doubt that I would be unfortunately I can be around and shift forward. >> You just want to say then give Phil a little time. >> It's more work for you, Dan. >> Yes, that would be great. And that gives us a little more time to collect even more information, really get the roof information dialed in, and uh Sean will have a lot more of a solution um on on all of it, the entire package that then Langless will be able to crunch the numbers and make sure that we're we're not recommending something that's going to blow us out of the water. Uh but right now with the numbers, we're we're within a couple percent of where the paint solution was. Um which which makes me feel better to to even bring it back up. >>
055Not having to touch the interior walls would be nice. >> I guess they still would check some of the classroom walls to make sure they don't have prior leakage. Yes. >> Yep. there would still be removing all the all the storefront. So all the glass and all the classrooms would would be removed. Section of that sheetrock would need to come down to verify that there's there's nothing behind there that we need to mitigate. But once we were in to install something like this, that includes sealing all the CMU. So we actually create a secondary barrier on the exterior of the building. So, it's doing a similar coating that we were going to do with the paint, but then it brings that insulation to the outside, which then just makes the building that much uh perform
056that much better because we're removing any kind of a thermal bridge that would allow, you know, cold transfer to the interior of the building, which that's where that Dupoint concern uh starts to raise its head. It's >> intriguing that the birds really do not go near that though. It's amazing. >> It's very surprising. And I think it because I went and I tapped on it and I went over to the the hotel and it's it's like tapping on a Yeti cooler versus a styrofoam cooler that you buy at a g or a grocery store. I mean, it it's solid. >> It's got some heft to it. Um, and I never had really paid that much attention to it because it's not something that I'm because of those concerns of damage from wildlife, rocks, whatever. It's
057just always something I've shied away from. But Sean has an example where a manufacturer brought him to a project, gave him a 34 in aluminum metal bat, and said, "Start hitting it." And did not do any damage to it. various. Yep. >> Interesting. >> So, >> we have issues with canvas. I mean, we have birds that just keep putting molds in the rowhouse in this wood type of a building. But yeah. >> Yeah. >> Oh, that sounds good. I can sure meet at four if that worked with B and Mike. If you want to pinch it for Roxan and Josh, that would work great. Who just want to meet in this room? I guess me here. >> Yeah, I will I will forward a this in writing and then I will continue to feed information
058to the group. Um and then uh let the team know and we'll make sure that everybody's available to to be there at four o'clock on Thursday. >> Thank you. >> Okay. >> Thanks, Dan. >> Thank you all. Appreciate it. Okay, that's our AC building repair projects update. It's item 7.2 with the and so this kind outlines and details uh what the items of the agreement are. And so we're agreeing the following revisions. We're agreeing to the following provisions to our collective bargaining agreement. And that's I think each section for health insurance going to move to Pacific sources or carrier. You'll see that there Suzanne provided so you can see how the breakdown looks by switch to pivot source we receive a 4.2% decrease in premiums which we are going to split 5050 the BFD. Next
059on the pay time off section, we're maintaining the language regarding PTO as is. Remember last year was pay time off. So last year's to trial run. We decided to codify that this year and keep PTO as it is. Didn't have any major issues with PTO this year. Seemed to kind of go along. Okay. So we're just going to kind of keep that language as is about PTO and sick leave donated sick leave. Um so we had to have to mention those sections agreemently. We had to clean up some language in there and again the uh your agreement is a it's in here as a whole package. We're able to agree on those language changes for updates lead PTO so mention that salary schedule which would be an addendum. So we're moving that to addendum eight.
060Instead of XX it would be addendum A. Um we agreed to increase the base by 2.25%. And then we also have addendum B which here in the in my report list is XXI as the activity and extracurricular sponsor index. That will also be an addendum in the CDA and we decided we agreed to add drama club sponsor to the index at 045% and then to freeze the increments at current 2025.26. six figures. So, we're freezing the the matrix as it reflects this year just adding speech adding drama club to that activity and uh sponsor index. Any questions on any of those items? And I think the one thing we did discuss with the union that we had brought up last year and Josh brought it up again this year is we try to figure out
061a different matrix for the coaches and sponsorships and activities people um rather than what we've had and try to have something next year right we think >> yeah put out a I think I shared with somebody I put out a a performance-based flat rate index so when we started with flat rates are all varying according to their position with of course you know the head coach or lead sponsor receiving the highest amount and then lower amounts for those that supporting roles but I really wanted to incentivize performance. So if if you achieve some great task then I I feel like you should be rewarded for that. So my proposal included some incentives like that performance for let's say for example winning the division championship getting an increase in pay for that winning the state championship
062another bonus for that being recognized as number one in the state in your activity number one in the country for FFA since our FFA team is first or second every year we got to provide little incentive for them for that um so that's the kind of discussions I'm I'm having with them not sure you know we can reach an agreement but at least for having those discussions and hoping to work within that next year. See where we wind up. >> So, we need a motion to approve the um >> it'll be later. This is just kind of summarizing everything. Ellie, did you have anything to add to that as part of negotiating? No, I think that's I think yeah the BFT interested in kind of looking at that new um that new plan for coaching
063and advising and um but yeah, I think over the next year that'll give us time to take a good look at that. But I think they're open to that. >> One one thing we didn't really discuss it last year when we did the PTO deal, we did it on a one-year trial. Did we make it permanent then? MCV is it a permanent deal rather than time? >> This would be codified. >> I think we we felt good about that, didn't we? >> Roxy questions on negotiated agreement with the BFT. >> Okay. Notification of acceptance resignations. I'm happy accept the resation of Jason Harris who's got a tremendous promotion for Western as the athletic director there, activities director. We're happy for him. We're we hate to lose him. At the same time, that's some opportunities come
064along that we just can't pass him. So, we're excited. Brock has a tall t now and helping coach McCrae um find some replacement a replacement coach, too. So, we're getting on that right away. transportation update. I already talked about we got that trans got new activity buses already put in rotation that's working out well. Um transitioning to co-educational health enhancements. This is a big one. Um and you can see kind of the commentary there, but we're looking at shifting to the a co-ed PE essentially breaking it all. Right now we have a girls PE and boys PE and we don't have that for weight training. We just have it for the course that's titled health management. And so I'm looking around at the rest of the high schools in the state and the elementary district
06510 are all elementary school. Currently all their PE co been that way for years. Most I'm sure there are probably some I think there's maybe a middle school in Bonner that was doing girl and boys PE. That's the only one I think I've found researching on the internet so far making calls. But so I feel safe in saying the vast majority of Montana high schools are doing co-ed P and so I feel very comfortable I'm making that same same moves. There's good reasons for in case of title n providing equal opportunity for making this move as well. And so in doing this we would change next year. So all P classes would be mixed gender. >> So this upcoming year, >> this upcoming year this change would go in affect mixed gender. You know often
066in the workplace we have to work with all genders, right? And so I feel like this is also another good reason to go ahead and make that transition. We do it in all our other classes. Um PE is no different. Of course they're going to maintain separate locker rooms. Notice girls only biological sex girls only biological sex males only be be maintained in accordance with state law >> going to make that recommendation tonight >> that both be teachers are okay with >> yes I've spoken with Mr. Walker and Mr. Keller both are on board and are excited at the transition both Mr. Walker and Mr. have previous experience other districts teaching co-ed that's also help as well is it's not something new to them they've done this in the past any questions on that all
067right next we got another one acquired number of courses part-time what Shannon was interested in and after having a conversation with Nicole Nicole Thuot of OPI she last time we spoke she So that the minimum we could do to reach that 180 is one and a half courses. So essentially that's 1.5 credits and again there's multiple ways you can achieve that. Now I also met with um Christy Hendricks and I believe it's Emmy Williamson for the home school coordinators for the home school co-op. I met with them and spoke with them about this and offered them some some flexibilities that we currently have in district policy. And some of those flexibilities are you don't have to take every course here on campus offer that offer courses that are remote. The students that need more flexibility
068in their schedule can take advantage of that. Well, more more specifically the most the course that I point to or the program I point to is Montana digital. We have several students taking various courses through M Montana Academy which can be be taken completely remotely depending on the course. Some some are more hybrid, some are completely remote and can be taken. Uh some are offered according to a teacher schedule which have set established times and some are completely on your own pace. And so I feel like that's a good compromise, a good um that gives our homeschool population more flexibility where they don't have to be here on campus. They can certainly choose choose to do something like a Montana teachers academy class. We count that. We can count that for the purposes of A
069and B. And so feel feel good about that. Now the caveat is those courses just cost money. They're about $128 per semester. So if you if you take uh let's just go for example, we have a we have a student in choir. They're coming for a full year in choir because that's what they're doing all year. That's one credit. So what do they need? A half credit. That's a one semester course. So you could take a one semester Montanto Academy class, pay that $128 and that would satisfy the the enrollment requirement of 1.5 credits. Now, if things would change in the future, I would certainly be happy to amend this recommendation to go back to a a one course policy, but as things currently stand and seeing how again with the four students that were
070doing one credit, we only came down to one that um still have a challenge with it. And I feel like after meeting with that student's parents and presenting these options that there's some flexibility there. Now to go further there in our policy it also says that if we can have a let me read it specifically if that homeschool institution can prove that okay the superintendent this is our board policy 2168 remote instruction for nond district students or non-district sources superintendent or designate has verified the course is delivered delivered from school or institution to be accredited by a nationally recognized accreditation program or agency. So if the homeschool student has taken a a course that is nationally recognized as accredited, we could count that according to board policy. Now I've not found any besides Montana digital
071academy or BYU. That's the other program we use. And of course BYU you have to pay for those courses as well. We don't pay for those as a district. And so there is some flexibility. Is it perfect? No. Um, but I do think this does provide some options that we weren't previously aware of. And I know after speaking with Emily and Christie about it that they were excited. What I'm not completely happy about. They were excited about the the the potential with these new flexibilities that always existed. We just didn't know. Well, not always. A lot of these happened within the past five years, but we just kind of, you know, we adopt these policies and sometimes we forget about. And so I think that's encouraging. Another thing I've mentioned to uh Christie and Emily
072is about our dual enrollment classes and we've got so many good ones with Western um and some we teach here and some that we teach through Western that's online. Um next year we're doing college algebra and so those are some courses that a homeschool student it might appeal more to them because that would directly go toward college credit. Um a lot of those Montana Digital Academy classes, guess what? A lot of those are dual enrollment, too. And so I feel like after having that conversation, I've hopefully opened the door, planted the seed, that BCHS has a lot to offer. We can be a good conduit um to helping them get a start on their college education while also meeting the requirements um for enrollment as currently established by OBI in the board of public ed.
073So that's kind of what I have to give you there. I'll take any questions on that. What about like Shannon had mentioned until the legislature could do something? What about the students that still just want to take one credit? Would we allow them to do that or or not? Or would they have to do one and a half? >> And in talking with legal counsel, they said when you establish policy, go it's it's all or nothing. You can't carve anybody up. I had also asked what if we just grandfather in >> all the freshmen. >> They said no, you can't do it. you got it's all once you establish something policy like that it's got to be for everybody can't gra can't grandfather that um they didn't like the potential legal challenge to that and
074I don't want to fight any legal challenges and so again because we've I feel like we've offered some flexibility we're talking about a half credit when it comes down to it because everybody all four of those are already taken one so I feel like this is good flexibility and with all due respect to Shannon I'm not going to put my complete and total faith and trust and any government to get accomplished. We all have high expectations, good intentions, but doesn't always work out the way we want it to. So, I would feel like it's within our best interest as a district to do this now because again, what I'm hoping is that we grow this part-time enrollment. And so, I think it's important we establish that expectation now. we can always go back when and
075if and we hope that it gets reduced so it meets you know that one credit requirement so it really becomes but that would give the most flexibility because even you can't take fewer than one right >> um so I think one and a half is a good compromise given the flexibilities we have with the board policies look at other options that would allow them to be off-campus remote and on their own time and >> we're only talking four students >> yes Okay. >> So, I hope that helped some, Shannon. It may not be exactly what you wanted to to hear 100%, but I feel like uh I think this is a good a good option. And I feel like we need to establish the expectation now in the event we get a lot of new
076enrollment, which I hope we do. >> And you've had conversations with all four families that have >> Yes. impacted. >> Three of the four already. Before I knew it was 1.5, I was saying it was going to be two. Like Shannon said, three of the four already agreed to do two. Since we've amended that, we've given that flexibility. And I of those three, I think they're still decided to stay at two because like some of our other options. I really like the idea of trying to encourage as many homeschool students as we can on whatever part-time basis it is. I mean the hope is of course that if they come here for one and a half credit or two credits or whatever that they'll like it and want to come for more and be a
077better deal for the school district and hopefully for the students do get a tiny bit of A and B2 if they participate in the activity. So that also helps. It's a small amount but we can count a six week or a 13-week. Most of our programs are six week. So that that also uh helps as well. Um I've got a couple more things. Uh policy updates. We'll have seven policy 7220. That's the title one supplement and supplant policy will be our second and final reading tonight. So I will go over that. I think it's the last page in your packet. That policy says uh the school district will ensure that federal funds, title one funds specifically, are used to supplement and not supplant state and local funds that would in the absence of federal funds
078be spent on title one program or services supported by the by federal funds. Title one funds will not take the place of funds supporting education services that are to provided to all students. The school district uses title one funds only to supplement funds that would in the absence of title one funds be made available from state and local non-federal sales for the education of children participating in the item feel like that's an important policy to add considering we're being audited by the state next year for title one and just something I noticed when I was looking over policies that was missing. We're already doing it anyway. It's not going to change really our practice, but it's going to give us a little more it's going to give us a policy that's in writing that establishes
079that gives the credence what we're already doing. Gives it a little more back, a little bit more tangible credence that the support that we are our title one policies and practices at BCHS are are in line with state and federal law. Um, you can see my schedule to date. I have a couple more items. I wanted to mention that so May 20th through 22nd I'll be out of the district attending my daughter's graduate high school graduation in Georgia probably won't make it back for ours unfortunately I hate it lined up that way barring any kind of emergency with family back home I don't ever foresee missing another one so I'm hoping to have three u eventual high school graduation from DC BCHS but I did want to mention that I'll have my phone I'll be
080available I'm working with make sure everything is good to go for graduation and he'll report on that maybe give you a little update. Everything's looking good from what I've heard. And the last thing I want to mention and I guess not my report but uh Mike and I, you know, we're not working for ECS are also trustees of the YMCA and the YMCA on May 15th, we're doing a pianos fundraiser for their strong family uh foundation fundraiser. And so I just wanted to visit the board tonight to see if we wanted to do anything as an organization as as the high school uh to support the Y and their effort to raise money for that. I know that they're they're selling tables for $400 for eight seats. That's May 15th. It's next Friday, not this
081Friday. I think doors open at 6:30 and I think they start playing the piano at 7:30. What we did was we hired a dueling piano group out of Vegas to come in and do it. So, it's going to be a great Friday night on here in Dylan. Shouldn't be a whole lot of competition, we think, that night and it should be a lot of fun. There'll be food provided. There'll be a a barbecue with that. We're also taking donations. If we if we just wanted to be on the banner board as a for a donation, we could make a $300 donation and we could have BCHS up there as supporting the Y. >> I think that'd be great. So >> just had a good relationship with the Y back and forth and I think show
082good to support the money. >> Everybody okay with that? >> Yeah. We just write a personal check for a dollar amount to get to the 300 or we pay for it through the district. >> We pay for it through the DS. >> Okay. >> The district would pay for it. Yeah. Yeah. >> And if we wanted to write a version check, you could you could do that. You >> get it to m and we sure it got over to Todd as well. I think as much as we both work with kids and we share kids and our kids the elementary kid District 10, they go over there and do a lot of activities. Our high school kids work a lot over there in those activities. So I think you know supporting each other is a
083good thing. So yeah, I think good if we had BCHS up there donating and supporting a lot. I would like to take an opportunity to Roxan Englet the foundation at 110 Western. I went to them and they were gracious enough to buy a table for dueling pianos. So I would like to my Roxan board and Montana Western and the foundations. Thanks so much. >> Sure. But somebody will be there having fun. >> Yes. Thank you. >> But I mean I I I would personally be willing to write a check for whatever or something to help offset that school district. It doesn't have to fund it all. But I don't know, not that anybody else needs to, but but why the dolphin school if we're willing to >> Yeah. >> Any other questions on our report
084schedule or anything like that? >> All right, Gary, I'll turn it back over to you. Okay. I guess next thing we have is this with Rob. ends exactly up this month. I want to say three weeks been few weeks and since the last board meeting, but um attendance has gotten better today. Actually today we had our community service day a few students a good day about but community service day actually I I thought was successful um you look outside just to the west you'll notice a bright in the dark I think >> did I get it painted >> was that bra good job >> done that's awesome with a bunch of kit Thanks, Brock. >> What did you put on it, Brock? >> I guess hopefully it lasts. >> Yeah. >> You see any snakes?
085>> No. >> Didn't you guys bring some sword pals up there? So then when we activity, they do that as >> Yeah. But any uh so so let let me back up a little bit. So we went out go normally in the past we've had our community Thursday just have juniors and seniors go out. We decided as a staff to send everybody out. And so all the students went out to help clean up the community. There's lots and lots of garbage bins filled up. Um we actually filled up two dump trailers. Actually, we went with a Y helped them organize some of those storage sheds out back and and actually took a dump trailer of the boat full of stuff out of there. Seems there pretty museum, library, fairgrounds, cemetery, um out to the Cubsfield.
086went took some dogs for a walk. So we were we were kind of everywhere. Actually helped with the field right by the field. They had they need to build their back stops. That just a lot of interesting stuff because it's um along with that the discipline pretty pretty to you know the fast each I would say it was three cell So appliances a little cooler behavior always stays pretty much in check around sometimes things get ready to be done just like the teachings are ready to be done as well and then yes graduation planner only Um will be the guest speakeran then so can we solidify who is going to be at graduation amongst themselves know you said you're going to do this >> what time do we need to be there >> and you're
087going to do yes um It starts at two. >> Does anyone that's on the board? We've kind of in the past if you have a child or a niece or nephew or someone that you're close to, you can certainly welcome to give them the diploma if it's something that you would like to do. Any kind of need to be able to do that. Anybody have anybody here any also today right after our service day we had our society induction ceremony suffering this year some kids area service showed up. >> Yeah, it's just fun to recognize those students that it's just not academic, but it's community service and there's the oldest organizations that's out there started by the secondary school principal association back. It's just over a million students that are involved in city have at
088least national societ. Okay. Anybody have any questions for Rob? Okay. If not, we'll go on to Ro's report, I guess. pretty brief, but um the Hispanic choir just has completed their history in the state musical festivals. Um has a tons of kids performed really well with their stand individually. Um they'll have their uh choir truck ride tomorrow at noon. Um so just very very proud of what they've achieved this year.
