001recording does not constitute the official record of this meeting. All documents from this meeting are available on the school board page of the district website. We'll call the meeting to order. Um we can skip pledge today. Uh no seeing no public >> looks like is on hold on all promoter. Right. >> H she hasn't responded. We'll you >> we'll go for it. She can jump in when she's ready. >> Okay. Uh let's move right into discussion and action items. I'll take a motion for number one, please. >> I move to approve the lease agreement between the Big Sky School District and JTEG LLC with the terms presented. >> I second the motion. >> So, I I put the lease in the packet. I briefly mentioned this uh housing option at the last meeting that we
002had. Um they'll only lease to the school district. They don't want to lease to an individual, which is fair enough. We've done this before. Libbyy's created a second um document detailing the payments that the employee will sign to make sure that we get, you know, that everything works. I mean, honestly, this is probably the best deal on housing and Big Sky >> for us. So, the guy's excited. He's got to we got to get some furniture and stuff in there, but um yeah, this should this should be good. And I would just add to because I'm going to have to get something for this um Spanish teacher, too. and I have that already solidified too through with Lone Mountain Land. Um I think they'll lease directly to him. But after this year, should we get
003that tiny homes project done, fingers crossed, we should be in we shouldn't have to do this, you know, be scrambling year in and year out, I think we'll be in good shape. But um I I'm I'm thankful for this this Chuck Eoff for for renting this to us at this price. >> And where is this place again, Dustin? Can you >> It's that cabin directly across the street from the entrance to Uzo Falls trail head. >> Oh, right. Okay. >> That big property. They have something like almost 100 acres in there. Um and it's really nice. I mean, it's a little bit loud, but he'll be really comfortable there. >> Yeah. No, >> he doesn't have to share, you know, he's an older guy. He doesn't have to share with a bunch of 22 year
004olds. >> Yeah. Perfect. >> That's quite a lease uh agreement. Very Okay. Um, get any other questions? Anyone discussion? We'll move to a vote. All in favor? >> I. >> Any opposed? Passes unanimously. Move on to number two. >> I move to approve Noah Getting as a 1.0 zero certified FTE. I second. >> Um, yeah, so his information is in the packet as I mentioned. Um, yeah, we hired a teacher earlier in the year and she just kind of didn't return her contract on time. We couldn't get a hold of her. So, we we went to our head hunting agency. This is the agency that has provided our strategic planning consultant to for the last 10 years. Um, and we we felt good that Noah was still actually available at at this late date. So,
005I'll start working with him on getting certification, which will be a lot easier at given some things that happened in the last session. And um, you know, we'll make sure that we're in there helping him out. But I think he's going to be a really good fit for the school and the community. >> So, he's not related to the Mberry girl we had last year. >> No, same class. And um when I mentioned cuz we saw him late in late in June just before she left and and she said she knew who he was but wasn't they weren't chummy but no no no it's just funny how that worked but yeah same class almost same major um >> similar backgrounds >> right >> I mean an international school in Switzerland for him to come to
006us. Well, yeah. Two things. That Swiss semester, which was Katie was the first one to attend, if we ever have a an anticipated midyear opening, those people all are dismissed. That's just a fall semester and that's how we got the girl last year. >> And Middberry, of course, is renowned for their language programs. That's what that's their biggest thing. So, fantastic to get somebody from there. And you know, we have that Bates girl coming from uh to the theater and getting these connections, you know, and I have my Big Sky Broadways pretty much run by Yale grads. Word of mouth is my point. But this wasn't word of mouth, but for the future. Anyway, moving on. >> Good a good catch regardless, which >> Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Keep catching them that way. >>
007Yeah, exactly. >> Yeah. Yeah. So, great. Um, any other questions? Okay, we'll call for a vote. All those in favor? >> I >> Does this guy have housing? Did we help him? I forgot. >> I just got it all set yesterday. So, he'll be living in the town center in one of those kind of taller type things. >> They set a threebedroom aside for us. He'll be the only one. Um, and it's it's very it's cheaper than our housing on campus, but he wanted a month-to-month cuz uh he's got some friends that are moving to Bosezeman >> or Big Sky and he's gonna they're going to all live together, I think, around when ski season kicks off. >> Uh oh. [Laughter] >> Make sure this uh this is ironclad. >> Yeah. Lock them in. Yeah.
008I'm sorry. Any opposed on this? >> Passes unanimously. >> All right. I move to approve the four-year-old students as presented. >> I second the motion. >> So, the list is in the packet. I just put the initials and the dates of birth. You're welcome to look at them in full if you want to go into the business office. I just don't like to publicize those their full names. um we just need to approve the board needs to approve all four year olds even though we're getting paid for them. Um in in order for us to get the funding we get paid but it's they haven't changed the rule that if you put a four-year-old in kindergarten um the board had to approve it but now we can do four year olds as a group but
009we they haven't changed the rule that you can just admit them. The board still has to approve those admittances. >> Did we accept everyone who applied? >> We did. Yeah. >> Agreed. >> Has that been the case in the past? Can everybody get in? >> Yes. Yeah, I guess. Yeah, we haven't told anybody no. Um, they base it now on third grade reading target. So, you have to give the kids an assessment. However, they've allowed us to set what we say is what you can't get in. So, we set it at like a half a point below an absolute perfect score. >> Okay. Thank you. >> And what is our number for this year? >> 19, I think. Uh, Libby can confirm that. >> And remind me who's teaching that class again. >> Renee Zimmerman.
010>> Oh, okay. Great. >> Renee Anderson. No. >> Yeah. Zimmer. >> It's Anderson. Anderson. >> It was Anderson. >> No, it's Anderson now again. Yeah. >> The number is 16. >> 16. Okay. >> Thank you. >> Thanks. >> So, if we have other people that want to join before the school year, would we allow that or is that we're just going to say 16? All good. >> No. So, we've always we've capped it at 20. >> That's what I thought. because there's two adults in there and actually there's three adults in there because there is one student in there who has a has a hearing impairment and has an interpreter. Uh so there are three adults in there at least for the next year. >> Great. Any other questions? Call for a vote. All those
011in favor? >> I. >> Any opposed? Passes unanimously. >> All right. I'm I move to approve SJ as an outofd district student. >> I second the motion. >> Yeah, it's Madison County out of district. >> Is this just an extra addition? >> Yeah, I mean they live in the endis portion of Big Sky. >> Okay. Any discussion or questions on that one? What was it was like a last minute add-on or how come this one wasn't part of the >> of the other ones? Yeah, it must have been last. I mean, it must have just come in. So, we just >> we'll probably have some more too next month, possibly even in September. You never know. >> Dustin, we can't not I mean, I'm not saying that I want to not approve, but we can't
012not approve, right? They couldn't get their education >> correct. >> Okay. Call for a vote. All those in favor? >> I. >> Any opposed? Passes unanimously. >> All right. Anything else? >> Just next meeting is August 12th. That's the annual budget meeting. And then just to put on everyone's radar, Matt, I know I've talked to you about it, but just to reiterate, anybody who would like to attend the resort tax meeting on the 13th, um I think it's going to be at 9:00 a.m. I'll remind you that's when they're going to uh discuss and approve or deny our amendment. Uh we amended the amount to 650 to 600 instead of 700 to replace the reconciliation payment. So, they'll be we have a meeting next week with them and then they'll be hearing that uh and
013voting on it on the 13th, but I I'll send something out again, but just kind of an on the horizon. >> And you said that was at 9:00 a.m. on the 13th for that. >> Yep. >> And then what about next week? Any What's that about? What time? >> Uh so the 12th I think we'll just shoot for our regular time 3:45. >> All right. Oh, sorry. I thought you said something about a bisrad meeting with them next week. >> So, so Libby and I just Libby and I and Corki are meeting with their kind of executive group to they're going to help us refine. >> So, we they're going to help us be prepared for the meeting.
