But one thing I would say about that is I'm not sure how it's going to be much different from the report that I did in June. It's essentially the same thing. You just go through your goals and you talk about how you're meeting those goals. And it is kind of a redundant report to what I did in June when I reported on it.

Um we'll bring in a lot of outside schools and there'll be um I think 60 plus um colleges and careers represented there. Um homecoming week is next week. They finalized their theme and dress
037up day. So that information will be coming home. Um a couple things I wanted to highlight uh was we did get approval for our Perkins grant. So that is $12,564 worth of supplies that go to our CTE programs. And then u Mrs. Patton uh wrote a garden grant um and she received that for 3500. And so that's going to pay for a couple of hydroponic towers and um be a start. Eventually we would really like to get one of the larger grants to put in a greenhouse. So, and then um that'll be a combined effort between science department, the FCS room, and the egg program. So, they'll all be using that. So, um we're excited about that. >> Nice. >> Oh, and Ashley is working on stickers for our fishbowl in the cafeteria also. So,
038have that done. I have a question on those especially at the elementary school that was in that bond list. So we did it before the bond funds >> The windows because that um item the line item for the tables is likeund >> 74,000 I think or something. >> Yeah. And it had tables and >> window coverings for the front lunchroom. Are you doing anything else with those windows? >> Not the cafeteria windows. I plan to expand that down around the front of the school, but that'll come later. >> So maybe that could cover that if that passes. >> Yeah. >> It could also cover, you've been talking about the, >> you know, if somebody were to actually shoot the window. Yeah. I wonder if that's >> Yeah, I asked Rob and she checked in on
039that and the kind that we have are I think as much as you can get because they don't make anything bullet I mean if you get bulletproof I'm talking way out of there man it's really hard to get >> but the type that that she bought which I I think would be the same as a what B has if they're shot they don't shatter as far as where you could just go in you know >> get right through it there's going to be a time delay I don't know if Robin can speak to some more of that. >> Um, the way Ashley explained it because we did look into it and she said short of doing bulletp proof glass which is so expensive but there's a layer of film on both sides of the glass
040so it will break but it's not going to just shatter where someone can just reach through. So >> at least that little deterrent may be just enough time you know to get kids moved or heaven forbid we have to do that. Um, >> yeah, we heard about it at our conference this summer that that type is available or that'll work, which I'm I'm certain from what you found out is what we have because it's the same item. But I talked to Robin too about, you know, we have that vestibial right there. And then all of a sudden, here's all these her cafeteria windows. So, she's getting those. I asked her to get those for those windows right there. So, we don't have that problem. Okay, that's good. And I don't see the middle school in
041Portland here. Am I missing it? >> I I didn't either. I just asked her for if she had anything, but I don't see it either. >> What was that? I'm sorry. >> We can send that to you. >> Your report's not on the agenda. >> So, she sent it to us. So, >> okay. Maybe you guys can just email it out. We can >> Yeah, we had three or four people working on that. We're trying to get, like I said, transitioning our people down there. >> Okay. >> Thank you. Okay, Jen. >> Nothing else to add. >> Are you fully staffed right now? The special ed teachers >> right now till next year. We have a whole year. >> But she did ask for that resignation so we can post >> right away. >> She's
042on she's on next year already. Yeah. >> Okay. Hey, Mr. O. >> Okay. I put in some of the boring stuff I guess at first. So, and I didn't think of our um opening day, which I thought was was really good. So, basically what you have here in front of you is what I've been doing with handbooks over the summer. Um, job descriptions. Britney and I worked a lot on that. Um, policies, as you can tell, been coming through to us in droves. Um, and there was a lot with recruiting and hiring decisions and planning. Um, so I think the the principles have put time into that too over the summer. Um, adjustment to schedules just based on staffing. there's just been a lot of up getting things up and running uh for me and
043then um you know kind of takes away from a lot of the other things I'd really like to be getting into which we've kind of jumped into even today and some of the safety things that you heard about tonight a little bit. Um but I do have large and small group administrative teams. So we're meeting pretty much weekly um as we plan and go through. They're going to be a little bit shorter than what we've done. Um, so that's kind of nice, but more frequent. Uh, let's see. Then I meet one-on-one with uh it's 12 different people either weekly or bi-weekly just to stay stay um I think up with what they're doing and collaborating together. So, we're working together on those things with all the different supervisors. This um back to the first day
044um I brought in we met at the safety conference. I always want to say Western Governors what it was from Phoenix. Um >> Grand Canyon. >> What's that? >> Grand Canyon. >> Yeah, Grand Canyon University. Thank you. Yeah. And I think we had what they reported to me is three or four different pairs. Grand Canyon University um was at the safety training. They had a booth and we talked I talked to the lady there. There's a rep out of Billings who covers our area and they're real affordable professional development. And then Chris thought of having them speak to the classified union on the first day because we brought her in. She had a table um in the lobby when the our first day with teachers here and she was really helpful. Um and I think
045we have three or four different pairs already signed up and that are looking at working on teaching degrees. >> I have one one pair that jumped in with both feet. >> Yeah. >> Um going great kinds and I have two that are >> expressing interest out of it after visiting with her. So that was that was pretty cool. Um and our speaker um ignite your shine if you look into that a little bit. Um just a real positive kind of encouraging uh for teachers. Um healthy kind of way to just keep going about business. I had a I had a followup with her. Let's see what day was that? Just a couple days ago. I think it was Friday, Thursday or Friday, which is kind of neat. So it's not just like a oneandone. and
046she said they call them spray it pray and spray. You kind of pray that everything you sprayed out there gets spread out, but instead of just doing that and not showing up again, she does follow-ups. So, she gave me some ideas and how to incorporate what we learned and not just to to drop that. So, I'll be bringing that to the the principles administrators on Thursday at our next admin meeting. So, I thought that was good um just to have followup so we're not just one and done. Um, and then kind of along that line too, it's it's pretty exciting. I talked to one teacher already um about what the state administrators of Montana I sat in on a virtual meeting last week and what they're doing is there's a $4 million grant from the
047US Department of Labor and they're trying to use this money. It's not the program isn't all set up yet, but it is for right now would be paras. They're modeling it after North Dakota who used it for paras. and our state is trying to get emergency authorized included in that grant so that anybody that's working with students that's they're the only ones that would qualify it' be free actually a free teacher um training uh certification program um so it pays for your college right now the only partner is Western Governors and they're trying to get some other uh partner colleges to work with them too so they have the plan in place for them but it's pretty neat I thought the one teacher at the middle school in Friday and already she said, "Send me
048everything you can." So, that was pretty cool, too, to to help us get some of these people that are working for us and doing a really good job, but to get those certificates and get them even trained better. >> No, that's great. Glad to hear that. >> Yeah, we've got some neat things going on to to help us get some some teacher training. when I was emergency authorized if that was option say that it isn't yet October they hope to have the application everything wrapped up by then come to come out by then but they wanted to have a meeting with superintendents you know what's our input who do we have all that kind of stuff and give us a update last week so >> yeah that's pretty cool >> anything else >> I have
049something to talk about real quick. Um, starting Friday the 12th through the 18th, we down to one driver, uh, Donna Robert taking some leave and they'll be gone. Uh, we put out on the website that there will be one route for those days and then there's no school that on the 19th and then they'll be back and we can resume the two routes. But the last time we were at a board meeting, I believe you all said if we go to one route, we want to stay on one route because it causes so much confusion. And so I just want to bring that out there to see if you want to give some guidance or think about it. I guess we've got a week or whatever if we're just going to stay with one route.
050I don't know if if you quite meant this situation where a couple drivers take leave. So that's where we're out. It's on the website. We'll have one route from the 12th to the 18th. And I just want to make you all aware of that. Maybe we'll have to take a look at that. Yeah, I think we need to pick up as many kids as we can. >> That are true. >> Well, on the one route just because those two are on leave for a couple days, right? So, they'll be back for a week, >> right? both. >> Terry, go ahead. >> Hi, can you hear me? >> Yep. >> Okay. Um, yeah. So, both of those two are out plus um both of our other uh subd drivers are actually one of them is in
051training that week and the other one would be able to do one day here and there, but we didn't want to make it complicated. So, we just went with one route for that week and then by the next week they will all be back in rotation. So, hopefully things will be looking up and then once we get the um certification thing figured out, I think Britney did, then um we also have a driver that was scheduled, well, we have a candidate driver that was scheduled on the third to take his test, but there was kind of a snafu. So, hopefully he can get that rescheduled and be back and be on the rotation soon. Thanks, Terry. >> Yep. Thank you, >> Maretta. >> Share hands. >> Sorry, I didn't put my hand down last time.
052>> Oh, that's okay. >> You have to say something anyway. Yeah. Yeah. >> Okay. >> I have one I have one correction I forgot on my burger part. Um the pool was supposed to open today. The pool is not open. We are waiting on boiler parts apparently. Um supposed to start swimming lessons next week. Uh I'm not sure that it'll be ready, but waiting for an update from Robert. >> Okay. Great. Now, anything else? Um, I just got a message that not everyone at Pine View has been great about checking the website about buses. Do we have any other way part to get that out? >> Are we going to call the people that are >> Yeah, I just got a message or something. >> We should probably do a robocall and say that we're
053going to be on a one route system. I think that would be the best. and they can put it on thrill share and roll call and we could even send letters if they needed to. >> Thank you. Does somebody have something? >> Oh, Terry, did you have your hand raised? >> Maybe. >> Terry? >> Yeah, I was going to suggest that we do a robocall, but that has to go through central. So, >> they're the ones that send that out. We do. I did put it on um Thrillshare which goes to the website. It went out as a notification. It goes to Facebook and then I always take and share from uh Facebook to the PTO group. But yeah, a robocall would be a good idea. >> Okay, >> we should do that. >> Mr.
054Bailey, could the teachers put it in rooms? >> Yeah. Okay. Anything else? Going once. Okay. Me being a turn. Thank you. Oh, there you go.
