A couple other edits from this from the state. >> I move the Culture Public Schools Board of Trustees approves the second and final reading of recommended changes to policy 2421 promotion and retention. >>
006Second. >> A motion second. Any public comment on this? Any further board? Francis. Hi. Sabrina. Hi. Angie. Hi. >> Chips. Hi. Hi. 4105. >> Uh annual meeting in June. Um district meeting was canceled due to lack of quorum requirements to conduct business of the association. The pilots provide an alternative process conducting voting on associate issues other than the membership meetings as follows. What's the big reason you are not voting on your district's FY27 dues rather this is FY27 dues revenue estimate that is calculated pursuant to the MS um VA bylaws. What am I what are we really talking about here? for approving their uh bylaws and guidelines that we have to do every year. >> And then you're voting for president and vice president. >> Yeah. >> So that second sheet that they that I
007think is attached Yep. >> looks more like your voting. So you get a consensus and then I'll go back and >> vote for you. >> Okay. So we need to complete that. >> So do we support their principles and guidelines as presented? >> Yep. >> Nothing's changed. Um and then foundational elements of MTSBA organization DNA as presented. That's that circle chart they have. >> Okay. Do revenue estimate. >> I don't think that's changing. >> No. >> So yes, >> it doesn't have to do with like ours, >> right? It's just >> It's just their stuff. >> Their stuff. Yeah. >> Do we approve uh Crystal Zent Zentner as MTSBA presidentelect? >> Looks >> I think so. >> Looks like there's no one running against >> and then Vice President Rick Cummings. >> Yep. >> Okay.
008I love these because it's like >> we don't have choice. >> No way. It's going to come up. >> So, I think you can just direct Britney to respond accordingly >> and we'll fill it out and I'll get it back to you and we'll be done. >> It's just electronic. So, I took your vote right here and then I can just go in and do it for you. >> Perfect. >> Thanks. Yep. 4.06, House Bill 22. >> Yeah. Go ahead. >> All right. This bill amended 20-9-116 MCA to require school districts would provide notice of intent to impose an increase in a nonvoted levy to give notice of estimated impacts of the increase or decrease on homes valued at 100,000 300,000 and 600,000. In order to be consistent with the amended statute, we're recommending adoption
009of amendments to policy 1014 FE and adoption of an updated 1014 FE1 which is here. >> So, we don't already have that um policy, I don't think. >> Not this one, right? kind of one of those that we already do, but up to you whether you want to. Um, they just changed the values on the homes. It used to be one, two, and three, I believe, and then they changed to 1, three, and six. But >> we do already comply. So, it's kind of up to you guys if you want to adopt it or not. >> I don't think we need to adopt it. >> I don't think so either. >> You guys want it in the policy manual for any reason? >> No. there. And just to kind of as we go into these
010new policies, I'm just going to bring them here. >> Okay. >> Let's told not to because it's more work session um to discuss it. You know, I don't want just to be me. But if you want to have different direction, that's great, too. But as I read through or read through a lot of these, um it's just kind of it is that way. Does the board want it? Does the board not? Um, >> so I'm just bringing them because I know we got like 14 of them back in June and Tiffany and I both read it and said, you know, these are have a time sensitive date was the way Tony put it in there of July 1st. So I kind of I get them all on here, but then I don't have necessarily all
011the time either to really dig into them. >> So just so we're on the same page, this is kind of like, okay, if you need more direction, like you said, think from us or to go back. I'm not looking at like this is a final, I have to have these or I want these or Britney wants these. Some of them would do. But anyway, so that's kind of why sometimes it's a little bit like iffy for all of us to talk about. >> Okay. We could probably put them in the work sessions section. >> Yeah, I thought about that as we got going. >> That way we don't have to take action on all of them. But >> yeah, I told Chris that too this morning. I said, you know what I'm learning is these
012are more I'd like I would like to see them as like discussions and then Yes. Scott, move further with this one or not this one or bring it to the next meeting. So, >> okay. >> I think her thought there was she was trying to eliminate the double, you know, she wanted she was trying to eliminate bringing it for discussion and then having to go back and put it on for an action and then having to do it again as an action. I think that's why she put it on >> and it is that way. I mean, and then like with those ones that came to us a while back, you know, it felt urgent, but unless it's really urgent, I'm told it's required if they're recommended like they've been, I think that's kind of
013how I would like to do it. It doesn't have that doesn't mean it's right. It can be bad to bring in the first time and >> but >> I don't it doesn't I don't >> because some of them were forced to adopt anyway. Some of them >> required we have to >> these are recommended. Yeah, >> the recommended ones I can see it replaced. >> Yeah. >> So, because if anything then I'll slow down and I won't bring as many at once so that I have more chance to run them by the admin team for us to think about them before I bring them here. It might be two or three because do a really good job on some of these. There's a couple I held back that we need to do a second reading
014on or maybe a first that are more important to us. These are ones that are coming from MTSBA. I think it recommended you and I and Tiff should probably just talk through that and I think the three of us think it should be then we'll put it agenda. If not >> just let's do that. >> So do we want to go through all of these this time as action items or do you want me to motion to move them to the work session? >> I'm fine with that. >> Are there any that have to be done tonight? >> Cuz we could just talk through them. >> All of these are all recommended. We're all recommended. Yeah, there's nothing really urgent like 4.11 could spawn some discussion, but it's the forms and we actually need to
015do the second reading of that policy before we even get to that one. Um there's nothing that couldn't wait to us to discuss some of those >> because I think we can discuss them today and then if we want to bring them back for adoption, we can do that. >> Yeah. >> Okay. I feel more comfortable with that myself. >> All right. I move to move agenda items 4.06 through 4.17 to the work session section of the meeting where no action will be taken tonight but discussion will be held. >> Second. >> Okay. Motion second. Any public opinion on this? Any further board? >> Francis. >> Hi, Mr. >> Hi. >> Andrew. >> Hi. >> 4.18. >> So, I lost track where we're at. >> Yeah. >> 4.07. Where Where do we go now? >>
0164.18. Oh, there it is. Okay. Uh, budget adoption. So, >> oh, >> read this one. >> Wow, my part came up. >> I passed all my stuff for now. >> Um, so OPI called me. They had a miscalculation in the transportation fund. Um, I basically just had to put my numbers back in and then, uh, it recalculated it. So what changed? I didn't bring the forms, but what changed? And was the county on schedule reimbursement from the high school went from 47,000 to 16,000? The estimated revenues for the adopted budget went from 34,000 to zero. This caused a change in the mills in the high school. So I adjusted the budget from 250,000 to 240,000. It was a small change. So, I felt like we could do that and not have to go back and
017levy the taxpayers for that small just recalculation they did. Um, in the elementary is kind of the same thing. It went from 48,000 to zero, but it did not change the mill. So, I left that one alone. And the reason why it didn't is we had enough um reserve fund balance in the elementary to cover that. And then you know with our transportation you use uh what we have carryover before you use any county or state. So that's when I say the on schedule reimbursement is the what we get from the county. So we always use our funds first and then they come in and help. So had to bring that back to you guys. If you guys u make a motion to approve it then I'll just print off a new thing for Steve
018and today's the deadline. So it was perfect timing. Oh, one one other thing. Um, they gave us, I believe it was $480 of GTB money, which is like guaranteed tax base money. Um, it was another uh calculation error on their end. It just calculates automatically. It's an error. They haven't cleared it up yet, but I've done the calculation. It won't change our mills at all. It's just a very small number. So, um, once they do feel like once they do fix that, I don't feel like I need to bring it back to you guys. Um, but just to let you know that is if that was in the high school budget, that will not be there once they fix the issue on their end. So, and it wasn't fixed today, but I noticed so I
019couldn't bring it to you clean. So, okay. Those are just updates for the budget. >> Perfect. I move the Coaster Public Schools Board of Trustees adopts the following budgets. Elementary budget 2526 0796 and high school budget 2526797. >> Second motion second. Any public comment on this? >> Any further board? >> I >> All right. That moves us into the work session. uh transportation and facilities. Bless you. Um had a pretty busy summer. My crew and uh custodians and painters did a really good job this year. They did a lot of work, a lot of painting. Got some carpet in the middle school. You updated things there. updated uh couple of bathroom partitions. Put some pouring in the art room upstairs. Got the shower stop leaking at the high school. Um we're getting some lighting going
020for the gym right now, so we'll be good to go before we even host. And other than that, all our buses went up for their yearly inspections and everything. I just got three more to get back this week. So, two of them sometime. So, >> they all passed. >> Was that all the buses like the charters and the How many buses do we have total? Counting the little white ones. 12. >> Take out the little white ones. What do we got? >> Nine. >> How many of those are charters? >> Three. >> We have six yellow buses. >> Correct. >> Do we need all six yellow buses? >> Three charter buses. Sorry, I'm trying to write this down. Three charter buses. Three white buses. Who? Two white buses, >> one handicap bus, and five regular
021buses. >> One >> or six regular buses. >> Four rear engine and two conventional. >> Six. >> Seating capacity is like five different conventional. >> Okay. Are there any of those that we never drive? >> Yeah. I guess we got one of the rear engines. It hardly ever gets drained. >> Should we sell it? >> We should keep one for a spare anyway. >> If we have two routes consistently, I mean, even if we had three routes consistently, four buses would be the max we would need to have a spare >> of the yellows. >> The yellow and we have six yellow. Yeah, we want we want to keep it fair conventional as well because that would be the one that would Tony would take on the dirt road because going on dirt road with
022a ver engine bus is not a good plan. >> So could we just keep one conventional as a spare for either route a little tight which route we're on. >> You see where we're getting at though? Yeah. [Music] >> Yeah. I think like middle school track used to get bus. >> Okay. Just a thought. I'd like you to think about that for next month >> and if there's something that you think we can do away with. We are >> a little heavy on those buses. I understand having spares, but if there's something we can do um to help get rid of something, I think we should >> take a good look at that. >> We run We run one convent a rear engine right now and one conventional, >> right? >> So, we would just
023need two rear engine ones. >> One, maybe a conventional and a rear, >> right? But that would mean selling we could sell two buses, two of those rear engine ones >> because we only run one versus and then you have one spare. Think about it. >> Yeah, I get you. >> Okay. >> Well, this leaves us in the policy. >> No, no, it doesn't. >> Huh? >> Mr. Slater will present the athletic Sorry. Sorry. >> I'm looking at the other side. Angie, Angie, >> your turn. >> 32 minutes. >> Computer updates in 32 minutes. >> Okay. As of last Tuesday when I turned this in, we had uh five boys and four girls for cross country at the high school. Uh football had 14 boys from Coastrip and eight from St. Lraine. and had 29
024girls. Uh we did impact testing the week of the 11th through the 15th for all the athletes. The paperwork, the process we used for the paperwork worked it very well. Almost all of our athletes were ready to go the day of the first day of practice. If there was a couple that didn't have it done, they were able to get it done that day before they practiced. So procedure they use for paperwork uh was very handled very well. uh had coaches meetings at the high school, parent meetings at high school and the middle school and the cheer. You all know that. Um transportation. Don took me out when I first got here and did time and mileage on the second route and then he took me another day in a Suburban. We took the first
025route and showed me that. So, I'm getting familiar with that. And then we're still short drivers. You walk off that. So that's an important word. >> Side note, I like what that chant program did for to move all that stuff head with the the uh the physicals, the concussion, all that stuff. >> That was a great program this year. I thought >> I don't know if you're too familiar with it, but the uh the PTS handled it. I know Johnny's out there with the kids during the summer. Yeah, he did did a great job. >> We need to keep promoting that and get that going. That was great. >> He's gonna bring some information earlier and we're going to try to really promote that hard in the spring because I don't think it came out
026soon enough. People already, >> so we'll get it out earlier. >> I got to see my kids at lunch and they were sweaty and redfaced and tired and I was like, "This is exactly what I want." >> Exactly. We could put all the back to school paperwork online like we have the sports paperwork. >> Yep. >> Because then I'm not sitting at every single school filling out over and over and over again. >> We're looking into that. The team brought it to me last year. I'm really I'm very used to doing that for a long time. And Evan has discussed it a little bit with me with the flow forms that we've signed up for this year. just the one year kind of trial, >> but we'd all like to do the online thing. >>
027Yeah, >> I would like to fill it out and press four times. Go go go instead of >> It's in the works. It's in the discussion stages. Sorry, in the works. It's in the discussion stages, but there >> you're not alone. >> Misery looks comfortable. >> My hand cramped up so bad. >> Feel your pain. Um, anything else? >> Maintenance schedule. >> Yes. >> How's that coming? >> It's in the >> I think it would be good to have one with this bond >> to present to people. >> Yeah. At least just a >> like a rough >> overview. Yeah. Not anything that's >> What does it take to maintain the turf field? >> Yep. What it you know if we're going to have to what schedule that's like? >> Mhm. >> You said it
028was like a six month, didn't he say? A couple times a year or something. >> I'd like to see you and Mr. Slater kind of put something together. And I know because we've had this conversation. I had it with Tiff. It's not a It's a lack of personnel problem right now. We we still face that in everything we do here, right? We're always lacking personnel and that brought up other things like, >> right? >> So, you're stretched so thin and we're going to try to do this. That's going to be a a hot topic, right? How are we going to maintain this new thing, right, without more people? >> Without more people. Exactly. So something we're going to do. It's going to be a topic of discussion for a while. >> So, >> and I
029feel like just something for us to put out there so that the community does see that we do have a plan in place to like support this $12 million bond. >> That includes trying to hire hire personnel as well. >> Not trying to lay it all on you or you or the principles or anything like that. Like I said, it's a it's a personnel problem first. So, >> but I think that the turf maintenance has been a big discussion with people. They want to make sure we know what we're doing. We know how to maintain it. We know when. >> So, if we could at least get an overview of what that looks like. >> Can you get it to us by the next work session? >> Okay. >> And what commit and what equipment
030we might need? >> Yep. >> To purchase >> because I know we'll need that attachment thing. working. >> Perfect. >> The sweeper thing. The little Yeah, >> that brush thingy. >> I learned Robert sweeps grass, too. Sweep it off. Curves, too. >> Other people do that. Hold it. Lots of cleaning and maintaining. >> Thanks, Robert. >> Anything else? I'm good. policy. >> You want to go back to policy? >> Let's go back. >> Let's talk about what you think we should. >> Well, I want to see what you think. >> So, the first one we had talked about the 1014 FE which we said was really we didn't really need because we already do that, right? >> And we haven't adopted it before, right? >> So, I don't think we need to adopt it. So,
031>> since we moved that down to the work session, even though it's still an action discussion, can we >> just vote on it now? We can. >> Mhm. >> Okay, perfect. >> No, we're not voting. >> Yeah, you don't have to. You can vote to deny it. We've done that before. Or you don't have to vote. You don't have to make a motion. >> We don't. Yeah. >> Okay. I didn't know if we needed a motion to deny it or not. We just won't bring it back to action. >> Gotcha. >> Okay. And I've talked to Chris and Britney and our new person Carrie. We want to really start keeping track. I know Tiffany had brought this up to you on Friday because what we get into is all these lot these policies and then
032for the last couple years hasn't been a lot of followup as far as implementing them. So I guess again sort of my method to why I want to slow it down a little bit. Um and partly like I said me learning and how we want to operate. But we get going and then we get ahead. I get ahead myself or did I guess on some of these that came to us the end of the year that sounded really pressing but necessarily weren't end of the school year anyway. But so we're going to get a spreadsheet going with what's approved by second reading, what's not, and then go forward. >> One of these policies allows us to get rid of that second reading. >> Yeah, that's the last one. Yeah, I almost brought that up, but
033that's I want to ask allow Steve to make a motion. >> I think we definitely need that one. >> I'll make some motions. >> Okay. So, >> so we're just going to >> We're not going to do anything with 406. I wrote it down. >> I'll bring in 406. >> Okay. >> So, policy 1111. What's the change that needs to be made to that? >> That's another election. is one that um we do have that policy. So it says that um a trustee can or a um candidate for election could come in at least 40 days before the election and the law changed. So now it's no sooner than 145 days and no later than 85 days. So it went from 40 days before the election to 85. So but that's legislation. So, >> Mhm.
034But if we already have the policy, I think we need to amend it. So, let's bring that one back. Edited so we can see it in red. >> I think that one is in red. >> It It is. It's It's in red. >> Not on mine. >> I That's one of those attachments that looks like it's only the second page. Mhm. >> One document looks like it's >> it's just like a it's like a word document that's just a second page. >> I think it's a word document and that's why it's coming over weird for you guys. We try to do um >> normally we try really hard to just do PDFs. >> It looks only references. That's all that's on. >> I see the whole thing. So I don't know. It must be a
035kind of a word document thing. >> Yeah, I see the whole thing too. >> But yeah, we can bring it back. Bring it back. I just see >> cuz just what you said is the part that's struck through in red. >> Yeah. >> No sooner than 145 days. >> You can't see that. >> Nope. Nope. >> We'll fix that then. Okay. >> Okay. It'll bring that one back. Got it. I wonder if we can't see 1700. >> I think it's a lot because the one you mentioned I can see the whole thing. So, I think it's >> the same thing. It's just a reference page. >> But we have this adopted, so I'm sure we have to make the change. But what is it? >> There's a lot of changes, right? >> Yeah. >> So,
036bring that one back then. >> Let's bring that one back. >> I read through all of these verbatim. Yeah. >> Anything that we wouldn't want to bring back. >> Some of it's just clarifying language, you know, and >> that's how most of it is. It's just clarify. >> Yeah. This one there's some broad statements and they get more specific. >> Yeah. So, >> let's bring that back. >> Like what the board can do, you know, instead of just say it gives you options, you know, it's spelled out better. Okay. >> Same thing on the next one. >> Well, I can see 3410. >> Yeah, but not the other one, right? >> But not 2132. >> Yeah, I can see 3410. Is this the one about surveys? >> No, this is the one about student health
037and student family privacy 132 and 3410. >> We do have 2132 >> evaluation is just one of them or surveys. Yeah, one of them you can opt in or opt out of. >> Yeah, we have both of those adopted. So, we should probably >> change them. >> Yeah. So, if you want to bring those back as PDFs so we can see them. >> Yeah. And then P162 P1. >> Okay. So, this was the one I talked to Carrie a little bit about. It was put in with 26112. It should have been put in with 2162. If you look at that, you'll just see the the little flip with the the editing error. So, it should have been 2162. 2162. So, I was going to bring that next time. >> Okay. We don't see anything. >>
038Yeah. So, she left it off. I talked to her um when she'd made that error Friday doing all these Thursday. Anyway, so I said, "Well, we'll just bring this one back um since it wasn't attached >> at all." Um there was that little mix up which policy it was. So and it'll be the 504 some clarifying stuff on that. Yeah. Yeah. And that came from just US Department of Ed. So, that's a pretty easy one to read back. Maybe two. The next one were the the forms that we don't have any forms. Uh we did do a first reading on this and this is the one that I'll bring back for a second reading next meeting along with these forms. Do >> we have a policy? >> I don't see anything. >> You don't see
039those attachments? >> They're just It's >> the same thing. >> It's the same thing. >> Okay. >> When I was at home, I was able I have Microsoft Word on my computer. It says it will pull them up, but I can't see them. >> Oh, that must be it. You guys must have a word on there. Okay. But that's what they are. They're forbs to to align with the policy. And then the policy. This is one that I wanted us I'll get it out to you to so we can talk about it a little bit ahead of time. >> Okay. >> Derek and I have looked at this one quite a bit, discussed it at great length at least today. Anyway, >> okay. 3210. >> We do have that one adopted. >> Okay, this should
040be a second reading. Is this a title N? Just opening it right now. >> Yes. >> Yeah, this one should have been as a second read. >> Yeah. does not approve the second and final reading. >> Yeah. Can we do that then? This one since it's a second reading in a work session. >> Do you have any red lines on your We're not seeing those. >> I don't see either. >> Um yeah, this was the Yeah, I guess we could bring it back to you guys. It was the one where we were pretty general as far as our title N. >> Can you pull it up on this do that one? 3210. >> It's actually we wanted to get a little bit broader because the one we used to have said it is the what
041high school principal and or and middle school and last year went elementary principal and middle school. So this came from the MTSBA where they just say fill it in. It says title it's blank office is blank. >> I brought this one back. This should say a second. I don't know why it got moved down. We're breaking into people. We're all getting there. >> So that's the only change is >> it's not designated specify. >> Yeah, it leaves it open. >> Left it blank. >> Yeah, it leaves it open. So every year Yeah, we're not pigeonholding to a certain administrator. It could be any administrator. >> Okay. >> So at any level, >> let's uh bring that one back. >> Red line. And then I can't see anything on the next one. 3510. See what it
042does. This is like Yeah. >> Can I look for the >> just the markings or? >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, we got that there. There we go. district may prohibit or restrict the participation in extracurricular activities of a student attending home school based on one or both of the following factors. The student status as a United States citizen and the student status as a Montana resident as determined under provisions of 11215. That was the main piece of that. There were some other word you just saw optional, but that was the longest in this one. I don't know why we wouldn't. Yes. >> Yeah. Bring it back. >> That's the one we were talking about the other. I'm sorry. It wasn't. >> Yeah. >> Well, and I think this needs a little clarification, too. If we
043have to >> give each sport a specific gender. >> Oh, yeah. Okay. So if we give football co-ed because we have boys and girls playing that sport right now, does that throw us out of our ratios for title N? >> I don't know what our ratios are right now. So >> I think we're even. >> We're even right now. >> We're It doesn't have to be x number of boys, x number of girls. It's total participants. >> Okay. >> So we've always been okay. Like when we dropped softball, we were still okay because total numbers were equitable. >> Total number of sports or total number of individuals. >> Total number of male versus female participants >> participants. Yeah, >> I was thinking this was our other policy, but yeah. >> How close does it have
044to be? >> We've never been questioned. Okay. So, and I think as long as we're within like if it was off by 30 or 50 or something, I think that's the initial I think if we're off by half a dozen or a dozen, we're okay. >> Yeah, that's something. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Is there anything else on that one? Okay. Yeah, I think we can bring that one back actually. Go back up. Go down. What are those optional things up there? >> Oh, eighth grade participation. >> Oh, okay. >> So, you know how we go to eighth grade some sports? Yeah, I wasn't sure on this because we do some but not with others. >> We've already established those numbers. So, >> yeah, we have numbers established for each specific sport. So I think
045in our policy we do need to have 8 through 12 just because some of them we do allow. >> Mhm. >> And then what is the next >> it covers like actually covers eight. Yeah. >> Oh that's the one we need. >> That's one we need second. >> Yeah. >> Not B. >> No need C. >> Yeah. Okay. So C is consistent with our policy that we made. And then can you go down again? So what is this saying? If you homeschool in our district, but you're not a United States citizen, we don't have to allow you to participate. Well, you have to be registered as a home school as well. Right. There's that's what we were talking about the other day and we wanted clarification on some of those policies. >> Okay. >> So,
046>> and then the student status as a Montana resident as determined under the provision. >> Okay. >> Those ones are simple. >> Yeah. It's a >> there's another policy that >> Okay. Okay. >> We have to look at >> bring it back. Isn't that the state isn't the law that you don't have to be registered as homeschool 16 and up in Montana? >> But there is a policy that lets the principal, correct me if I'm wrong, make that determination if we're going to let and that has to go with part-time enrollment >> and whether they're registered as a home school or not. There's some clarification in there that we wanted before we decided on what we're going to do as a policy >> and that that's we really need to work on that clarification because
047what I was told was that they were not registered as homeschool students. We did not have to accept their credits. >> Correct. So, >> like I said, we've asked to get clarification from MTSB on that >> and that will come back on a different >> that will come back. >> Yeah, that was just Friday. We discussed that Robin brought it down. Yeah, >> I think that's an MHSA question also. Can they participate in athletics if they're not in this? >> Well, MHSA has policies that I looked at that define that >> pretty clearly. they've worked on them. So, >> and I I need to look at them more closely that that's on our list. >> Yeah. So, >> I just want to be well informed before we >> Absolutely. >> You know what I mean?
048>> Cuz that could open up. >> Okay. >> 1210. We don't need to bring that back. >> 1210. That's the fourth chair. >> Yes, we do. We're on 10. >> We're on 109 FE though, so don't try to >> Oh, >> yeah. >> And I can't see the red on this one. >> I think this one you guys already said no. We denied it in July. >> Yeah, we did. >> Yeah. 10:09 was not approved by the board at the July meeting. Okay. Yeah. Wow. >> Okay. Yeah, I'm totally for bringing this one back. >> Yeah, that's >> pretty no joke anyway. >> Never understood. >> Vote. You never know. >> I never I never understood it anyway. >> He can vote. He just can't motion. >> Motion. >> But he can second, >> right?
049>> So now he can motion. Thanks. >> I expect you to start typing up more. >> Yeah, you're going to do all the motions. >> Yeah, let's bring that one back. >> 100%. >> Well, we could we could we can actually do it now. >> I already motioned that there there would be no action items. >> Oh, that's what I was asking earlier. >> Yeah, we'll bring it back on the next work session. We >> Okay. >> Uh what was it? searching 10. >> Sabrina mentioned this one already, too. >> I can't see it. >> This is the How many readings? >> Oh, yeah. How many readings does it take to >> the center of to >> Let's bring this one back. >> Yes. >> Get this done. Yeah. >> That one's nice. >> Yeah.
050>> That's the only one that really makes sense. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Well, this is the one I looked at the policy too that we have in place. Yeah, because what we have in place refers a lot to committees and the way it used to be done. >> So I want to actually get that out there too, not just what they proposed. So we can kind of look we do it completely different than this one actually look pretty similar to how we're doing now. Anyway, yeah, we need to bring that back for sure. I would say choose like half of those that you want to bring and then the other half the next meeting >> ones. >> That way it's more manageable. >> Yeah. >> They would always get mad at me when I'm bringing
051a thousand response. >> It's never ending. >> It is never ending. >> It's never ending with no discussion. It's just >> most you have to do this. I was like why do we even have to have >> if if we have to do it but just >> do it. just do it. You don't have to talk about it. I was surprised there were more required when they said it was passed through the legislation and they're all recommended, but then they said you have to follow legislation anyway. >> So that's where I felt safe, you know, back in June with bringing those ones where he said by July 1. >> But >> Jen, did you have a question >> to discuss? Um, I think we you guys also need to look at 1310-P1 because that's the
052procedures that outline how um because it says it goes to the board for first reading and then it must go for a second reading to the board. So that 1310-P1 is the operating procedures on it. So, if you're going to change 1310, then 1310-P1 also needs to change. >> Okay. I got an ad. There's one of them talks about too where you take it back to the constituents that you're representing. That's the P1, isn't it? >> Yeah. That's one of those >> 3612 Oh, this was this refers to AI dishonesty was kind of added um let me see Ev. Yeah, near and dear to Evan's heart technology policy there is Excluding >> uses that violate the academic honesty requirements of policy 331 10P part two, including but not limited to use of district networks or
053equipment to access artificial intelligence or other online resources without prior authorization of the classroom teacher for the purpose of engaging in academic dishonesty. >> Yeah. >> Used to be called cheating. >> So we can't let AI write our papers. Is that fair? Don't get Angie started >> prior approval. >> Angie, this doesn't apply to you, so you're okay. You lost the vote. >> We don't have 3310 P2. We have 3310 F1 and 3310. So, we might need to adopt that if we're going to talk about it. >> What number are you on? >> She went back. >> Oh, right there. that says 10210 P2. >> We don't have that in place, so we can't reference it. >> We got another one of those from last month, too. >> Okay. >> Not at all. >> Bring
054them back. >> Yes. Bring this one back. >> No change. Yeah, I might experience it. Bring half of those. >> Yeah, >> we'll get the urgent impressive ones. Like I said, this gives me a chance to go with admin team or admin people like one of them dealt with. Today we're looking at a lot with curriculum with with Derek and I. So, just depends on what it is. You know, some might be like technology. Then it gives me a little chance to you to know which ones you want to really work on for a time or two. >> I think the most pressing one is making sure Steve can make motions. >> So it's all downhill from here. >> It's good for you though. >> 4.18 >> 7.01. >> What? >> We're at 7.01. We
055did 4.18 is what they're trying to tell us. >> We're down at these policies. >> Tonight's >> test. You better get moving. >> 7.01. Evan, you got about 15. >> Make it quick. >> Our big collection of e-waste was picked up last week. So, the tech room in FBMS looks huge. >> Nice. >> Good. >> It's like a mansion down there. That's awesome. Our room's messaging app is up and running. So, all the teachers have active classes and I've seen a lot of teachers already utilizing it. And so, now it's just going to be more of reminding parents that the app is there to get them on. Um, but it's pretty good, I think, with the amount of parents we have engaged in it and the amount of teachers that are starting to use it
056and uh play with it. Uh, auto rostering is working for many of our online apps. It's just a I I think that's a cool thing. Uh we'll see how well that works, but it's it's helped to get some of our um classes set up automatically, whereas years before there was a lot of work, you know, hours to days that ours would go in and set up all these special licenses and classes. Uh but that is now many of them are running off our infinite campus curricular roster, which is huge because it it's just boom, it's there. Um there's a new bus camera dashboard. Um, just so you know that our bus camera controls for the last couple years have been pretty terrible. Like the camera itself records and everything, but accessing those camera files when
057needed is a pain, pain, pain. But the company upgraded that uh this last summer and we up for that upgrade. And so the principles and Rich will be trained on it. But it's super easy. I played with them today just to make sure the buses were capturing and oh, it's it's amazingly easy compared to what it used to be. So, I'll train you on that. Um, 911 caller ID was figured out this summer. That's been an issue since I started and we figured it out. I've had a lot of talks with Century Link um to figure out what our numbers were supposed to be, figuring out the old labels and we've identified every 911 line at the building that the 911 calls go out on. And I've tested with the um police department and they
058can see what building it's calling from. We still don't have, for the principal's sake, we still don't have the ability to find out what room a 911 call came from. That's an extra thing that I'm looking into, but at least the police department knows what building it came from, and that's clear. >> Along with that, that uh helped me uncover many phone lines. >> We're almost done. Many phone lines. You'll like this one. Many phone lines that have been in place for many years, but we're not using anymore. So, I put in disconnect request after uh talking with central office. Uh those went into place uh this last month. So, we're going to be looking at like $743 savings per month. >> Wow. Now, those phone lines are going to be gone and they just
059ones that >> they were just there and had been abandoned and nobody realized it. >> Um and then new Chromebooks arrived except for kindergarten um with touchcreens. Those are still on order, but all the other Chromebooks arrived. So, we'll be getting those out. Um, we'll get those to the >> fresh one of your Chromebooks. Um, >> are middle schoolers taking a home? >> Nope. Just high schoolers. >> Okay. >> I just wasn't sure. I was asked that question today. Do our middle schoolers get Chromebooks? I said no. >> No. Every classroom has Chromebooks for middle school. >> No, but to take them home. I said, "No, I don't think the middle schools are going to We didn't do it." >> Yeah, we That's what I told. We didn't do it last year. I don't think
060that has changed. >> It's wonderful. >> I'm sure it is. >> Started out. >> No, I agree. I think that was a a very good decision. >> It's even wonderful for the amount of Chromebooks we didn't have to replace this year at school. >> There's less damage because they just stay in the classroom. They don't look at them at home anyway. I mean, they just >> they look at them about 1:00 in the morning. >> They're a reason why they don't reason. >> Good. >> That's it. That's all I got for you. >> Thank you. >> Good job. >> Uh 8.01 centralization triggers. So, let's review the three we have because not everybody can see that part. Okay. >> Significant loss of funding such as the coal board mitigation block grant >> and didn't we
061say if our levies don't pass? >> Yep. >> Two years in a row. >> Yep. >> Because that should have been in there. >> Mhm. >> Um and then enrollment numbers that are less than or equal to 100 students in the high school, which would make MHSA class C designation numbers. I thought staffing was on one of those as well. It's not. >> We just went we went numbers and money. >> Yep. >> So, something that's been brought up a lot is, you know, along with this bond with the maintenance and staffing, right? We're having a hard enough time hiring certified. I think staffing has got to be one of those as well. If we can centralize, want to call it, and that takes care of staffing and maintenance issues, right? You take a a
062facility out of that mix that allows everybody to focus on two other than three. >> So, how would you word that for a trigger? Where where would that point be that would cause you to do that? >> I don't know. Because these are very black and white. >> Those are very black and white >> and I need that because this is and the reason we put the triggers in place is because we didn't want people nervous every single year, >> right? >> Are we going to have the middle school? Where am I going to be working? You know, am I going to have a job? We didn't want that. So, we wanted black and white trigger points that people knew if this happened, we're going to centralize or we're going to combine schools. So, if
063we're going to do something like that, it has to be definite so people know. >> How many students do we have at the high school? >> We're still in flex. We're still waiting for some transfers in and transfers out. So, which should be about 155. >> Elementary >> around 205, I believe. >> 205 >> some somewhere around there. >> Middle school >> 115. 115. >> Bart, you said 205 >> ish. >> Okay. >> It's changing daily. >> 475. >> So, in the past, our trigger was high school numbers only. Mhm. >> So maybe we need to look at districtwide numbers instead. >> And what that number would be, >> I don't think that that number is not necessarily the problem. Staffing, you know, I mean, if we say it's a specific number, that's still going
064to fix that staffing issue. >> Exactly. I said that's that's the point that keeps being brought up to me. You know, what are we going to do about the stat? >> I completely agree. I just want to make sure that we can word it in a way that is definite for people. >> So, if I could just add, I know that we've had this conversation in the past on staffing issues when we talked about this years ago when we were doing the centralization discussions. And I think that you have to be very careful on how you're going to word that because then that also as you're trying to um avert the situation of scaring people as you just got through saying like every year like we're going to close down a school. Mhm. >> So
065the same thing happens with staffing because if you if you um think about your um secondary teachers, right, content area teachers versus your elementary teachers, then you start to cut teachers because of um centralization. >> So that's also another discussion because then you start to talk about riffing um which then seniority comes into place. So there's a big discussion when you start talking about the staffing because not everybody um let's say that you're in the middle school some people have um K8 elementary degrees and then some people are 512 content specific and so where does that fit? So if I teach science for example but I've been in the district longer then I'm going to start riffing because of seniority. So, if you're going to combine that and you're going to need to come over
066here because of numbers, then that also brings the um the scaring of staff. >> So, just, you know, keep that in mind too as you're as you're moving forward with your discussions. >> I also think that you as administrators need to be having those conversations. So, too, I'm not saying this sport's going to pull that trigger, but it's going to happen. It's going to happen. >> Well, I do not know the middle school. We've cut two and a half teachers this year. we've lost two and a half. So, um you know, we're we're very mindful of that. I know we have that discussion with Mrs. Natal and myself on, you know, what what needs to happen there. Um so, we're aware of that, too. But, you know, just to keep that in mind on how
067you guys want to move forward or whatever. And I think the thought isn't necessarily cutting teachers, it's sharing teachers. >> Eventually, one has to leave. I mean, because if you're short, you know, you have four science teachers, let's say, and you only need two. >> Where did the other two go when they're content specific? They can't go to the elementary and absorb that. You know, that's those are our concerns that we've had in the past as well. We also have a what's the electrical bill? >> That was a lot. I don't know. Have to look it up again. >> $250,000 for the high school >> and that brings up another issue. So, I came up here and I haven't gotten to talk to Robert, but um so Tom and I had to come up here
068to facing was on somebody. Well, like I said, I'm not saying this board's going to do it, but this needs to be this is expensive. Yeah, I think I think that um really good point with the electric um I don't know why there's sunlight some lights I think need to go to the um the system of the emergency, you know, where they come on when you walk into the room turn off. So, we don't have some of those conveniences. So, I'm constantly going around and turning off a few lights that are left on the coaches at night if I happen to go back up late in the evening. However, there are lights that are on and they are the ones that are motion activated and I don't know for the life of me why they're
069coming on other than guessing on who's visiting. I have been safe >> as well. >> I would like to look at adding we have significant loss of funding but I would like to see a significant increase in expenditures added on there because >> they go hand in hand. >> Yeah. So we could bring our strategic plan back the whole thing and get these added into that and discuss at that time to add some things. >> I agree. >> As an action item. >> Okay. Anything else on triggers? Any comments? >> Okay. I I do have one comment finding out with the move of the internet hub and the phone hub from middle school to the high school. Uh it turns out our internet move is tied to our rate funding for internet service. So the
070earliest we could do that would be next year when our -ate fund goes back out to bid for internet service and then once the internet's moved then the phone system could be moved over here. >> So I think that still needs to take place regardless. >> Yes. And my goal, my plan was to move the internet this summer and then I found out that we couldn't because we were locked in. >> Right. Okay. >> Right. >> So all all future years until it happens, I'll make sure that that funding specifically says that the >> internet hub is not dependent on one building. It turns out funding says it has to be at school just with how this contract. >> Perfect. >> Thank you. >> Okay. Anything else? >> 8.02. >> Um, I got a question
071from someone and I just wanted to know the best way to answer it. I wish I would have recorded Tyler at that community meeting and I didn't and I didn't take good notes. So um she asked me how are we going to prevent settling in the future for the football field. >> Most of that comes from the irrigation. >> We won't we will not be irrigating. >> The overflow from the irrigation yes is sinking. When we're not irrigating the >> it adds to it. >> Yeah. >> Just keeps adding to it. Adding to it. >> So what are we doing? Like how are we >> Well, and there's something >> I know there's like tension track. >> That's the concrete post tension >> track. But what about the field? >> The field is going to
072be crowned and the drain points are still good. It's just the settling all around the drain points. >> That is our problem. >> Those be filled in. >> So they'll they'll come in and they'll level that all back out. crown that field >> and then without the added irrigation and the post tension >> the drain fields are working fine. >> The drain fields work fine. >> Excess. >> Yes. >> So the drain >> it's the stuff that doesn't make it into the the drain. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Okay. >> And then she said, "What was the issue with the bathrooms under the stands?" >> Oh, they just been >> they just don't >> they have reached their end of life. >> Yeah. What? The water just runs and runs and runs. >> Yeah, we have
073there's so many broken in >> and it's so much concrete it would they would have to pretty much tear down anyway. >> Yeah. >> Plus, we were so short-handed with custodians. >> Yeah. We couldn't keep up, you know, during games and stuff. >> It's been that way for at least. Yeah. >> Underneath. Yeah. >> And when we would have them open, we didn't start bringing portaotties up until about four years ago. >> Say there was always plumbing issues with it. Like you'd flush the toilet in the women's and it'd flood. >> Yeah. >> Because it would >> But that plumbing will be taken care of with this new upgrade. >> Yes. Yes. >> And I think that probably goes handinhand with that maintenance thing because I'm sure that the public is looking too like is
074that a maintenance issue that the toilets weren't working for so long and the water was running or is it an end of life issue? That's the questions that I've been receiving. >> Mhm. >> So, and when was this high school built? >> I think it's 83. >> Are you sure? >> Yes. 83. >> My first class graduated was 84. >> Okay. >> Because I kept saying ' 86 and Robert. >> Yeah, Robert. >> Correct me. It's 83. >> Okay. >> Did you ask? >> I did. And it did not say. It told me when Shaq was built. Yeah. And for the record, >> Shaq was purchased from the school for $1. >> Oh. So, I sold his bills for way more than one. >> Even if we look at the future value of money, I
075probably came out ahead on that one. >> We'll give it to you. >> Thank you. Okay. >> Not to not to check Horn, but has anybody been in check? We just resized that, repainted it, reloed it. >> Yeah, I was. I did. >> Nice. >> You did an amazing job on that. So, >> okay. For a $1 bill. >> For a $1 bill. >> Okay. Great. Um, do we want to have any more public meetings about the bond? >> I want to do a walk and talk on the track. >> Okay. >> So, when do you think you want to do that? >> February 2nd. [Music] >> I think you have all of September and and most of October to do that >> and even into November. >> Well, >> I don't think the snow's
076going. We want to do it before the bond. >> That's true. So you have to do it like >> 1 of October. >> September 10th. Wednesday. >> I bring my phones. >> September 10th is a Wednesday. Okay. >> What time? >> Yeah. >> 6 o'clock. >> Sure. >> That'll work. >> Bring your walking shoes. And then we'll need to notice that that there will be a quorum, but no official business will take place. We'll just be racing to see this fastest meet on the starting line of the track. >> So you can handle the >> run the nails. >> Okay. >> People need to come see it. >> So September 10th, 6 o'clock at the track. >> There is a home volleyball game that night at the middle school. >> Okay. So, will that not
077work then? >> I don't have middle school in my calendar. Let's >> I don't know what time it starts. It's just on the >> What about Tuesday the 16th? >> I want to say five o' teams. >> Tuesday the 16th is middle school football versus Alder Grove. >> I'm not on the calendar either. >> I'm looking at the events on the coal. Oh, yes. Oh, yeah. That's right. >> Wednesday the 24th. That's actually open. We have Montana repatory theater here earlier in the day. >> What do you think six o'clock though? >> Uh Jen, what does it look like on your calendar? >> Only the during the day theater that Mrs. Nelson said that's honestly the only day other than Monday the 29th there is not a sporting event. >> September the 24th. It is
078to not be there. out for but y'all can go on ahead. >> Okay, >> I can meet you at walk. >> Uh, that's pretty far ahead of my schedule, but if I'm available, yeah, I'll definitely be here. >> I'll I I'll for sure go with you, too. >> Scott, you walking? >> It's a Tuesday. >> Yep. >> No, it's a Wednesday. >> Yeah, get an invite out. >> Well, I wish Chris was here, but anyway, have Chris get an invite out right away. Is that the only other one we want to do before the 21st? Because I'm trying to get like some things printed and I was going to print the dates on them. >> Um, I also reached out to the senior citizens. Um, and then Daryl Bravik told me that their next meeting
079date is September 10th at 12:30, but he's going to confirm with Jeie. >> Okay. >> And as soon as he lets me know for sure, I told him I'd make sure a few of us would be there to talk. Okay. September 10th, 12:30 tentatively for some of us to go visit the senior citizens. >> September 10th. >> I'm on I'm on travel that day. >> You can't go. You got to go. >> September 10th. >> Yeah. I'm out of state. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> I said I would be there. >> I have something that day. I know. I don't remember if I went home since or if Francis if you want to go that's fine too. Oh yeah, we can go. >> Yeah, we can't all three. >> We can go if we notice
080it. >> Yeah, unless we notice it. >> Got it. >> Um, anywhere else you guys think we should go? >> Well, I Yeah. Um, the bond election is the 21st. That's the 201th and 24th. Should we do one final thing in October >> before the ballot election? >> Yep. >> Sure. >> The ballots go out on the second. >> On the second >> and people start voting right away. >> So, what about the first? What's on the first? Jen, >> no schools at Lodge. That should be okay then. >> I mean, if we can catch the middle school volleyball in the September one. >> Right. Right. >> Okay. What do we want to do? >> We want to meet at the elementary school for that one. >> That the first you said >> October 1st.
081>> Yeah. Let's do a playground walk around. >> Okay. Play date at the elementary >> and maybe a >> word for you. What is the first >> Wednesday? It's a Wednesday. >> It's a Wednesday. >> And then maybe we could look at the cafeteria stuff that they're we're looking at replacing the seats. >> Yeah, that'd be good. >> Six o'clock. >> Yep. >> For me. >> Good. All right. Perfect. >> Pizza. Six o'clock. >> So, I'll get those three dates or the two dates, September 24th and October 1st. Right. I will put those two dates on a flyer because a senior citizen is just >> private. >> Yeah. >> And I private. >> Yeah. And I'm Nola told me to reach out to the Red Hats, too. So, I'm going to try to do that.
082>> Oh, that'll be good. >> Yeah. >> Okay. And I I mean, I really will make buttons for you guys. I keep forgetting. >> I would like a button. >> I would like one, too. >> So, >> perfect. So, cool. Have we talked about um information booth at some of our larger sporting events? >> It would be nice for the home football >> football games. >> I would like some of those just those big >> events, right? So people coming in can get a visualization of >> Well, now that I have these dates, I think we're good on everything else, right, Britney? >> Was is >> not this Friday, but next Friday. What did you name it? Sorry. >> Um the >> I know I have it in my email. >> Yeah, the number uh
083the number was wrong. >> Auditorium project. That's right. >> She had a project advertised and it also the number that she had a discrepancy on. >> Yep. That was it >> was that was just missing. >> Y pulled out the ballot language and confirmed. >> Perfect. So we'll put that one in. We'll put these dates in. And then um Tyler and Rhonda Rhonda I think it's sort of they created kind of a really nice flyer too. >> Um that we'll put the these dates in.
