We can start those when they come in for schedules. >> Yeah, I like this on the the website. >> Everything we have, >> we need to start booster club people there. >> Yeah. >> So, >> good. >> Okay. >> All right. With that, we'll move into new business. 9.01. Senior lunch open canvas. [Laughter] >> Okay, I'm gonna go over the rules and then Paige is going to talk about why they would
006like it. Um, the rules haven't changed. Um, they have to have 18 credits. They have to have senior status or they're not allowed to participate. Um, a nonCHS student cannot pick them up for lunch without checking out through the office. Um, and they still have to be checked out through the office by a parent. They can't just call. They have to come in. Um, no underassmen are allowed in any vehicle leaving for the lunch period. Um, students are 18 years older required to have parent guardian signature. Even if they're 18, um, we still make them sign. Uh, if we get any calls regarding shoplifting, harassment, irresponsible driving, we've had all the above, like nuisance. Um, then we do involve law enforcement. Um, and we will cooperate with them. They will consequences. Um, they don't go
007to any other district school property while out for lunch unless they have permission to go pick up a sibling or or they're doing something specific. Um, when they come back to school, they have to come through the front door. Uh, we had that conversation last year. Those doors are locked now, so they have to ring to come back in, which helps. We know exactly what time they get out of there or come back in. Um, and they have to stay in the hallway with all the other students until the bell rings. Um, they can't just loiter in the parking lot, sit in their vehicles or drive from parking lot to parking lot. Um, they have to follow the speed limit on school um, property. They should everywhere else. Um, they can't block school buses. They
008can't go through the circle. Um, if they bring food and drink back to the building, um, we put in there um, it's consumed at teachers discretion. And the reason for that was some groups or whatever will have meetings during lunchtime. So they're allowed to bring their lunch back for that. Most of the time they have to sit in the cafeteria and eat it. But we don't let them just over pulling in here a minute before the bell rings. So they just take their lunch class. We don't let that happen. Um they can't drive another student's vehicle. Um and if they return to campus tardy three times, they lose privileges for two weeks. if they come back tardy six times, they lose privileges for the remainder of the semester. So, um the other thing they're not
009allowed to do is bring food back for underassmen. So, um do you want to talk about >> Well, as you know, I've been writing since I was a just, you know, it allows for a mental break and I believe that all students should have it, but I'm only here to ask for the seniors. So, um And I know they'll be responsible if they aren't that have consequences. So any questions? I move that the Coaster Public Schools Board of Trustees approve the high school seniors to be allowed to leave campus for lunch after they have turned in the appropriate paperwork for the 2526 school year. Second. >> Okay. Motion second. Any public comment on this agenda item? Any further board? Francis. >> Hi. >> Sabrina. >> Hi. >> Angie. >> Hi. >> Congratulations. >> Good job.
010>> Uh 9.02 is some uh resignations for uh information purposes. So there you have it. With that, we'll move into uh >> I have just one little >> I I just want our district to be aware of some of the very passionate parents that we have in our district and I hope that our district can back our coaches because I think several of the resignations we've received starting back in April till now have been parent related. I >> I agree. >> Completely agree. >> We need to do a better job. >> No, thanks for that info. And you know, I guess that's something we can just communicate to the coaches, too, is that they have our support. Yeah, when I was coaching, parents are tough, but I also understand that the two things you don't
011mess with with people is your kids and their paychecks. So, that's part of it, too. Yeah, I know. Understanding it's it's usually not personal. It's usually something else, but okay. Going on. >> All right. 9.03 certified. Mr. George's going to be making some recommendations. We're going to take these one at a time. >> Okay. So, the first one I'll be recommending for the 25 26 school year is Josh Josh Carlson. And that's for his K8. certified teacher. >> I move that the Coler Public Schools Board of Trustees approves Josh Carlson for the 2526 school year as a K8 certified teacher. >> Do you want that? It'll be Paul at PBS. >> Uh, no. Okay. Yeah, >> cuz you can. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Second. >> Okay. Motion second. Any public comment on this? >> Any
012further board? >> Do you have any information about his um like history of teaching or where he's coming from? >> You want to share a little >> experience in first grade? Um can't tell you off the top of my head where he's coming from. Can't remember. Sam Culie. >> Yeah. >> He was in Busby. >> Yeah. >> Go ahead. >> Several years of first grade experience and and good good quality candidate. >> Great. >> Thank you for asking. >> Any other Francis? Hi >> S. Hi Andrew. Hi >> D. Hi. >> Hi. >> Okay. Next is Shauna Sessions. I'm recommending um emergency authorized certification and also of the elementary where she was last year. I move that the Culture Public Schools Board of Trustees approves Shauna Sess Shauna Sessions pending emergency authorization certification for the
0132526 school year. >> Second. >> Okay. Motion second. Any public comment on this? >> Any for the board? >> Does Shauna have her She has her associates. >> Yep. Correct. Since she's working on her bachelor just started another program. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> This will be her third. >> Yes, this is her third year. >> Emergency authorization. >> Okay. Any other board? Francis. >> Hi. >> Andrew. >> Hi. >> Tiff. >> Hi. >> Okay. Number three. recommended Stephanie Crook emergency authorization certification pending and also elementary school. I move the Culture Public Schools Board of Trustees approve Stephanie Kirk pending emergency authorization certification for the 2526 school year. Second have a motion second. Any public comment on this agenda item for the board? >> What is her educational background? >> She's almost completed her degree
014be teaching. She's going to add a spe special ed endorsement. Been working very hard, put a lot of time into um doing her studies, has been taking the necessary steps to get in the right place for a profession, been working her tail off. It's kind of nice to see somebody that's local and homegrown trying to make those steps in the right direction. >> She almost has her bachelors or her associates. >> Her her I believe it's her bachelor's. Um she's doing some teaching interns this year in our school as well. That's the first round of two that she has to do with her student teaching. And so she's been working hard at it. >> Hi. Hi, >> Angie. >> Hi, >> Tiff. >> No. Okay, Scott. Uh, fourth one, Kim Hall. Also pending emergency authorization
015certification for elementary school. And right now, we're looking at her doing title as she did last year. >> I move the Coastal Public Schools Board of Trustees approves Kimble pending emergency authorization certification for the 2526 school year. Second. >> Okay. Motion second. Any public comment on this? >> Any further board? >> Same question about education. >> No, I no flex. She doesn't she doesn't want to be a teacher for for a living. She does well in the title program. She came up through the, you know, with the program working with them and stuff and and understands understands the program and how it works and what it takes for kids and and last year worked very diligently and in making it happen and and was able to I should have had the numbers pulled up for
016you, but we exited quite a few kids out of the title program last year under her tillage. So, I'm very confident in her abilities to handle that position. Um, based on the fact that there's no education, I would like to make my motion specifically for title in the elementary school that she doesn't get pulled into a classroom because I don't think that I think we need to have someone that's either has college education or working towards education to be in the classroom. So, I would like to amend my motion. Uh, Holster Public Schools approves Kimhole pending emergency authorization for the 2526 school year for the title position at Pine View Elementary School. >> So, I don't know who seconded that. Is that you? >> And okay, >> second. >> Okay. Have a motion and second
017on the amended motion. Thank you. >> Any public comment on that? Any further board? I also have to say that she did a nice job keeping me informed as somebody who has to enter that data into infinite campus for her title kits. She did a great job working with me as well.

Any for the board? >> Um, what is her education or experience? >> She doesn't have a whole lot in payroll. She had their family owns a small business that she has been helping with. She took some accounting classes um in college. So, I'm hoping that down the road um when she gets a little more comfortable that um she can pick up some more duties in the office. So, >> we're excited. >> I'm sorry. She did take accounting in college. Um, and I guess as far as commenting on being public, I'm not sure if I am or not, but really excited about the positivity, the energy that
019we had with her and excitement that she's I think going to bring to us and just um the work the work ethic too was there and um anyway, it was some some exciting stuff going down in the central office with a couple new hires. Good. >> This recommendation is coming from you as more. It's hers. Okay. You worked hard and long on these. >> That's a lot of hours. What I care about.

We have some more teachers that have come through even today. So, I move that the Posture Public Schools Board of Trustees approves the list of district substitutes for the 2526 school year as presented. >> Second. Okay. Motion in a second.

We're told that it passed, but we don't have the official paperwork yet from them. So, we'll keep after it emailed to you and called. >> Should we table this item till we get that paper >> that I mean just a couple minute changes actually sometimes.
024So, it's not a whole lot >> because that changes a lot, >> right? If we don't get that, >> we're not sending activity bus either. >> So >> I don't know if we need to table it.

It goes right to the walls. It's a great committee. >> That's good. You have
031to have a motion or you can just apply. >> I'm just going to be good. >> Done and done. Cool. It's like I said, it's one of those things that yes, one of us should be going, but if it doesn't, it's that like >> Francis I think breakfast club, after school program, that kind of stuff. And there's like an umbrella organization that we're a part of within. >> Okay. >> Uh 9.11. So I have a recommended um policy 2421 promotion and retention. And I've been going through these, working through them with the ABN team. So, you know, you had a pass of policies I brought to you in June and July. So, I wanted to make sure they were here and got get these to you. Um, for this one, the main change here. I'll
032read it. Um if a parent insists that a student be retained or promoted placed in the student's file that the retention or promotion was parents decision and not recommended by the school. So I am recommending teaching staff and building principles will make final decisions respecting promotion or retention. Um, I'm strongly in favor of that. In my past district, I did quite a bit of work and research on retention and I do believe that it's still a team effort. It's not saying that the parents aren't involved at all, but it is saying that final decision is left up to teachers of that student administration with the best interest of the child at heart um to retain or to promote. So, retention I take extremely seriously. I don't I'm not a real advocate for retaining special elementary.
033There's lots of numbers out there as far as kids being at risk of not graduating, being held back. I would rather us be really working on our interventions and how to improve the the child's achievement and what they need to do to meet those needs um rather than retain. And I have had parents push to hold their children back at times when I didn't think it was the best thing. And I I didn't do it as a principal. I actually have that to say in my last district. So, um anyway, we've discussed it quite a bit as NAM team and if you have any questions for any of them again, does it not involve the parent? That's all in here still too. And the whole child as you read in that um longer paragraph, but
034that's kind of the one major difference is the final say would be would be the educators. I move the Coastal Public Schools Board of Trustees approves the first reading of recommended changes to policy 2421 promotion and retention. >> Second. >> Okay. Motion second. Any public comment on this? >> Any further board? >> Francis. >> Hi. >> Serena. >> Hi. >> Angie. >> Hi. >> Tiff. >> Hi. Bye. Stand bucks. All right. Um I'll begin with I know we have the to uh present to you the PBS student handbook, FBMS student handbook, CHS student handbook. I'll talk about briefly to begin with. Um as you know, we work together for hours and looking at the model policy so that our handbooks look unified. uh we do have distinctions and some differences depending on age appropriateness and
035the school itself but for the majority of it we're getting things in alignment um where we are operating underneath the same discipline type of matrix. Um attendance is probably the biggest change that you're going to see in there. uh what we worked on I guess one of the the things I've probably I feel like it's been a mantle of my 27 years now in administration is attendance. If we don't have the students here they're not going to achieve. And so when you read through the attendance piece on this guess we should look at that together. We're really aligning it with legislation. Okay. So each student and our policy does say that basically it looks at attendance to go to handbooks to refer to handbooks and there were we're were kind of all over the page.
036I forget what all we had but um principles teachers were feeling frustrations that over the years they've written letters of warnings of warnings of warnings of warnings of warnings and nothing happens. What can we do? So I went right to the law. We went right to the law and we looked at it. Um so that's where you're going to see this last part about uh truency. Truency is an absent during school hours or from school property without approval from the building principal. A truency differs from an unexcused absence is one of two ways. The absence is without parent notification to the school and the building which we've dealt with this year. Those are kind of the easy ones, right? Nobody contacts school, nobody knows kids trip. The absent is considered beyond the definition of an
037unexcused absent by the building principal. So I'd have to bounce back to that. Actually, a truency counts as an unexcused absence. Habitual truency. This was the part we were missing in our handbooks. And this is state code. If the child is discovered by the tenants office officer to be truent on nine or more days or 54 or more parts of a day in one school year, the child may be referred to youth court as habitually truent under title 41 chapter 5. And to the best of my knowledge from principles that have been here for a long time, this hasn't existed. Um, and it is state code. And I didn't put all the consequences in there that come with state code, but basically what we're saying is that you get your 10 absences. And after that,
038if you bounce back up to what's unexcused, after 10, you're going to need a medical note, administrative approval for a family emergency, or a pre-arranged absence proved by the principal. So, we're going to get to that position to that point most likely where they've had their 10 and they've reported ill, right? Maybe 10 times. Come number 11, we're asking for one of those things or those three. >> Not uncommon. Um, but we just didn't have it. >> That to me is probably I know there might be other little nuances in each person's handbook, but what could most possibly come to the board's attention would be this section. Okay. >> And then the other handbooks, um, thanks to Mrs. Natel for helping Richard, some of them we they're just tweaks. Um, let me see. Is there
039anything? The employee handbook. I did quite a few strikes. Um, striking out of sections, deleting sections. What I was aiming for is what I mentioned last year at this time was what we wanted to do was get our handbook so we didn't have to we used to have a discipline handbook. We're not going to bring that because we'd have to if you updated in discipline you'd also have to update it in each different school's handbook and which wasn't always done. So I know last year we had a discipline issue. I went to the handbook looked at what consequence was. Mrs. Nansel mentioned we have a discipline handbook that says something different. So what are we going to use? what are you going to follow? >> So, we cleaned that up, too. If you remember last
040Yeah. Okay. And then the employee handbook was real similar. There was quite a few items in there that were student and parent oriented. So, they weren't really to do with an employee. They were telling employees how to handle these situations in some respects, but for the most part, they were telling parents. Again, attendance policies, different policies, different consequences. And so every time he'd have to make a change to one, he had to make three. >> So that cleaned that up. I just pretty much took out everything that was already someplace else. >> Okay. >> We did make I'll let you talk about we had to clean up a couple things on the for that reason. The coach sponsor and the activity hook went through and just matched them up. So I'm hoping it wasn't I
041didn't >> but the schools are aligned >> discrepancies until after I had given that to you. So I'm hoping maybe >> and one other two that Alicia brought up. So this is >> which handbook are we or what was the discrepancy with uh the school handbooks? >> This is between the coach sponsor handbook and the student activity handbook. The list of activities for each school. They're just something said ban local instrumental said >> just they need to clean up so it matched the >> so no policy changes okay I know just yeah I threw that before too some are listed some aren't okay >> and they're alphabetized >> any extra >> she always needs one for that she has to put together. >> I'll grab one others. >> Yeah, you're done. >> You have mine.
042She can have mine. Fine. >> No, thanks for cleaning that up. But that's doesn't sound like a major, >> you know, >> and I found one other discrepancy on the student handbook. It says five senior lunch tardies will lose credit and the agreement says six. So I'll change that to match. >> So we also need to look at the BYOD. That's what brought to your attention. >> Yep. Um there's policy 5 or 23 >> 3630. Right. The model policy that it refers to in the handbook is 3620 which we don't have. We have a form 3630 but we don't have a policy. So, next meeting I will need to get the policy to match the form. Got that, didn't I? Took me a little while to get my head around that. There's a lot of
043stuff for today. Like, wait a minute. So, I read Alicia's email and Chris and I hammered it out. But, um, made sense eventually goes, well, we've got performance right here, but we don't have the policy. And their model policy that I referred to has actually changed, too. >> Yeah. So, that's actually non-existent. Their model I just put in the model handbook. you know what they had in theirs and it refers to this policy. Well, Alicia catches is like well >> we don't have that and well they don't either. So Chris got that >> but real good team effort on all these handbook items. It's you know small it's not again anything that's going to cause anybody any heartburn or problems. We just need to take care of it. >> Credit where credit's due thanks to
044my secretary Stacy. >> She got it. Oh man. Oh yeah. PD good. Yeah that was kind of a small one. That's like, yeah, I saw that referred to that 20 5620, but you didn't check on all the buildings. So, don't hand it out till we get one. Bring your own device. >> Bring your own device. >> We get the officials correctly >> because their model policies again has three options. So, we'll have to just decide an option, make it the same for all of us, and be done. We don't have that in our handbooks right now as the attachment on the last you'd like to add that taken. >> Yeah. Can we do that? Can we just say pending the for the form so they can send it home? >> Yeah, the form's already approved.
045It's the one we use all the time or it's a new form. >> It needs to be updated. >> Yeah. Is it Is that form? I didn't look at it. It's a different form. >> It's the same form. Oh, >> it's just it just includes the policy. We just need to delete that policy because we don't have it and we need to update our policy. >> Yeah, that's what I thought. The form's good form the same. >> So, basically, yeah, you can I mean, you can attach that to the handbook, but she's want to know if you have to approve it as part of the handbook. >> We can say that we're going to attach that form that's already been approved to the handbook. I mean, >> yeah, it's for an approved form and it
046shows up. >> You can just send it on separately if you wanted to or staple it on. It's not. >> It just references a policy that's non-existent, right? >> Is basically what it comes down to. >> Okay. And then just bring it for >> Mhm. >> the form's good. >> Just bring the policy. >> Yep. >> Just bring it next time and we'll perform. >> Okay. Okay. >> Makes sense. >> Scott, this is your legacy. >> I mean, the day you came in here, we were like, here are a thousand handbooks. >> I have some history. >> Yes. I had many long nights at home reading last year. Holy moly. >> I appreciate all the work that has gone into all of these from all of you. Like this is a huge undertaking and I'm
047so happy that they're getting cleaned up. It's nice. It'll make it easier for everyone. I think >> I may remembered you mentioning it the last two board meetings. >> What? >> Where we at on the handbook? >> On those handbooks. >> Yeah, we all pushed pretty hard this week. I am going to work on a tardy policy plan with with my staff. So I will bring that back. >> Okay. Always a challenge. >> Any more discussion on any of them? >> I move that the Culture Public Schools Board of Trustees approves the following handbooks for the 2526 school year as presented. PBEES student handbook, FBMS student handbook, CHS student handbook, CHS course description handbook, coaches sponsors handbook as revised. >> Um, a appendix G, Emergency Response and Safety Plan. Appendix H, District Programs, Special Education,
048Section 504, Preschool Special Education, and Employee Handbook. Second. >> Okay. Motion second. Any public comment on this? Any further board? >> Good job, >> Francis. >> Hi, >> Sarina. >> Hi, >> Angie. >> Hi, >> J. >> I >> uh 9.13 is for training. Um Tony broke his leg. Yeah, >> I really haven't reached out to him to redo this. So, there's some online stuff that uh we call we don't need to uh take action on it. It's just these are some things we can do. >> There's plenty of stuff on the MTSB site. >> Yeah. >> If you want to. So, yeah. >> Yeah. >> Thanks for that. >> And I would think at some point I got to look at our calendar. We probably have T or somebody on that strategic plan at
049some point >> to facilitate >> Yeah. >> the discussion. That's always nice. >> I'd like to go through it. >> Yeah. >> We'll have either her, Tony, whoever's available come down and do that. >> Okay. >> And we can go through it without them first. Yeah. >> And then when they come in, we can bounce our ideas off of them, too, just to make sure. Okay. >> Yeah. We don't Yeah. Yeah. I'd like to get into that. I want Why is January stuck in my head? I don't think it is. >> That's what I was thinking. >> Yeah, that's usually when it's gone to the board. The strategic plan in the past was January. January because remember we had that new there's a new part of it this year that I had Yeah, it was
050January. >> Okay. Right. So, I had to get a hold of Deb because we're missing she thought we had it and we thought she had it and she did send it. Yeah. >> Okay. Yeah, if you have any questions, of course, just holler. So, >> we'll do. >> There's a lot on there. A lot. >> Tony said he's going to have his secretary get in touch with me to get a date. He hasn't yet. She hasn't. >> I'm not okay. I'm not going to be too worried about it. >> Yeah, he was in the hospital. >> Yeah. >> What? >> Woohoo. Okay. So, I only printed uh 10. I wasn't sure who all um who all would be here. So, if you would like one and you're sitting here, let me know. I'll try to
051pull things up on the board, too. Take one, pass them down. This is the trustees financial first and then we'll go over the budget real quick. Um I have some extras. Does anybody want some? I still pick one. Ask whoever else would like one. >> Deian Heidi if you guys would like one too. You would like >> We have two elementary. >> Okay. All right. >> I have two elementary. >> I have two. >> Oh, me Atlanta. >> Yeah, you do. if you want to. >> What happened? Let me just check and see. Does that one say that? >> Oh, that's fine. >> Um, I can just show it up here, Chris. Don't >> That's fine. >> Yeah, >> we have extra elements. >> Okay. We all do. >> We're looking for the high school.
052>> You couldn't It couldn't be perfect. This is just make sure we're paying attention. That's right. >> Do you have two high school? >> Um, the budget reports. I have one of each. >> That's the trusty's financial statements. >> You have the budget? >> Well, I stole them when they were up here. >> I was like, wait, how did I get that screwed up in my copies here? Yeah, >> she's going to put the high school. >> I just did. He copied the high school one. >> And I have the copy. Did you take it? The high school. >> Oh, right here. >> So, if anyone wants to see the high school and pass around >> Yeah. >> Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Um I'll show I'll pull up that um the final in just a second.
053So, as you guys all know, it's my job to present to you guys the trustees financial and that is basically just telling you all what happened all last year. So, that's why it says 2425. Um that's not what you're approving tonight. you're approving the budget, but this is what tells you sets me up to do the budget. So, I put together a budget versus expenditures for you guys to look at. And I'll share this um slideshow. Unfortunately, I didn't have it done for the board agenda to put it out there for everyone, but anyone that wants it, please ask me. I'll share the um presentation with you guys. This is all in the um TFS report as well. I just put it in a different format so you guys could see it a little bit
054better. It shows you like in our general fund in the elementary is on top what our budget was that we spent the whole budget and the difference was zero. So it's pretty self-explanatory up there on that part. Um we had a little bit left over uh in the high school but we could only spend as much revenue as what we got. So, we will carry that over and I'll show you guys that in a little bit. Um, some of these funds you'll see we don't spend down to zero and there's a reason for that. Um, the general fund is the only one that we take down to zero. Um, so that way it gives us a little bit of money to operate next year as well. Um, this is our revenues versus expenditures. So, that
055can show you in each fund where we ended up. Um you can see the 2011 that's why we have zero there is and why we had some carryover before. Um there's only a couple transportation was a little bit low and that's only because of um coal proceeds was budgeted a little bit um higher than what what we got. So that way that one is a little in the negative. And then the retirement fund we're working on it. it. Um we've had a lot of changes with um insurance and we've been trying to get that fund out of the red. If you guys remember last year um I asked if I could move some funds to um cover some of those. So that one we you'll see in our budget too that we're um budgeting for
056some more in the retirement and that's not a um that's not a levy to the taxpayers. The county and the state help us pay for that um retirement fund. Is there any questions on that before I go? Okay. Schedule of changes. Um, that just shows you what my beginning cash balance was, our expenditures, our revenue, and what our ending balances. That's the elementary and the high school. So, high school just has more because a lot of those funds on the bottom serve a purpose in both buildings. Um, so we have our inner local on there. You will see the interlocal took a little bit um bigger hit this year than normal. Um that is due to some of the expenditures for mostly the high school. I did move some um Pine View expenditures and have
057to recode them. Um the high school budget just does not from the general fund just does not allow us to pay $180,000 of our electric electric bill. And I'll go over that later. I did kind of a show for you guys on that too. And um nothing against the high school, it's just with the general fund. You guys know you only get so much. Um, so yeah, this shows you the elementary general fund and where that money was going. 81% is to salaries and benefits. Small portion to our dues and fees. Um, you guys can see that the utilities and maintenance are a little bit higher just because I um or they would be because I moved some expenditures. And then the high school. So, high school salary and benefits are 84%. Um, we'll keep
058an eye on that, but I do think that a lot of that, we haven't been over 80% until this year. Um, but a lot of that is, you know, a lot of it is some of the benefits as well that get coded to the 101. So, I think next year will be a little bit more telling on where we're at with our salaries and benefits. I expect to be about the same as where we are this year. This is our utilities recap. I just show you guys this. Um, mostly I included this because I want you guys to kind of see and is helpful if you guys are thinking about joining any schools. I just put this out here not as an encouragement to do that at all, but just to kind of give you
059some numbers. And this is just electricity, but that's, you know, our major one. So um 180,000 had to be moved out of the general fund expenditures and recoded to the interlocal and then um about 40,000 of that elementary was also coded to the interlocal. So >> can I ask a question? Is there a way to disagregate what amount goes to the pool? >> Um no. >> Okay. I just think that'd be interesting to look at. But um and I don't know if this is time to mention or not, but I think we really need somebody to come in and look at our electrical system because and we've talked about this, but there are so many lights in this building that are not going off. >> They're just staying on. And >> I think that's hard
060on people about shutting lights off and I walk around shutting lights off. >> You'll bring that up tomorrow. >> Yep. Great points. Are you bored yet? Did I bore you yet? No. Okay, fine. Okay, so that is the TFS. There's not a whole lot to go over. That's basically what, you know, we've been doing all year. Um, like I said, I'll get you the high school one. Do you guys want to see it in form on here? Do you want me to pull it up? Okay. It looks a lot like the elementary just with high school numbers. Um, okay. So then, okay, these are real. I see high school and elementary on top. I can't believe I didn't touch them. >> Busy. >> I know, right? [Music] Yeah. So, insurance. Yeah. So, like with the
061um teachers whose spouses work at the plant, >> then do some of them opt not to do the school insurance. Is that um a fair number of them? Is that a fair number? Is what a fair number? I guess >> like half if their spouse has insurance. >> Not very many people take insurance if their husband has insurance at the plant. Um I could maybe probably think of one off the top of my head. >> Okay. >> So yeah. Okay. So into our budget um budget timeline. So you guys kind of know like what I've been doing. Um June 30th is the close of the last fiscal year. July 1st and August 5th was post the budget meeting and the paper. We did that. Um July 15th May opens which is what I do the
062TFS reporting and the budgeting in. And so doesn't give me a whole lot of time between then and now to um to be totally honest to clean up any mistakes too. So I mean we've had some um turnaround in the office. So like any little tiny mistake of coding something can put a hiccup and then cause some more um changes to be made. So being able to have makers open and do that it gives me a little bit of time to um adjust and make changes and do anything we need to do. Um July 20th the county provides their final cash balances. So then I also can't do anything until that point. make sure we reconcile. Um, first Monday, the August taxable evaluation was given and I'll go into that a little bit later, but
063that does drive our budget. August 15th, submit the trustes financial report to the county and no later than August 25th, the trustees adopt final budget. Um, just to kind of go over, I know some of you guys have been through this. Francis, you're kind of new, so I left this slide in there from last year. Just so that everyone knows that the board sets the budget for the budgeted funds on the left. The ones on the right are non-budgeted and um, we operate within those funds, but the ones that we're talking about tonight are all the ones on the left side. AM versus enrollment kind of just defines this. Enrollment is your actual count of students. We report to OPI twice a year. Your AM, which is what we use for budgeting, is calculated by
064OPI and they take two count days divided by your total of your two count days, the one that happened in October and February, and they divide by two. They multiply by 169 plus 7P days and divide by 180, and they get their A and B. So that's your average number belonging. Um I believe on our budget we used we used the average number belonging on the elementary district um for the budget and the high school number must have been a little bit higher than what the A and B was. So we were able to use the higher number. You have you get to use the higher number. So, our taxable value is down. Like I told you, our mill value is what? 4,083, but the taxable value is down 4,8386 from FY24. Um, that's pretty
065big. >> It's not the biggest we've seen, >> um, but it's it's pretty big for our school. Um what you'll notice when you look at the budgets is there's not a whole lot of difference from last year and this year from the general fund and it's a lot of it is going to be our taxable value. Um even though we got like a big quality educator payment, it was pretty much swallowed up by this. um they gave like a 3% inflation increase to all the budgets, but um with with this we're not going to see it come through as much. So, and just so you guys know, we don't we don't regulate that. The Department of Revenue does. So, if you're not aware with that, it's not something we can control. So, um, the general
066fund, I just wanted to explain this really quick for those that are new. Funding our base budget on the left. Um, we can only fund to 80% of our per AMB entitlement and 80% of our basic entitlement. And that is why it's so important for us to pass those overbase levies. And we did. So we get the 100% we get the max and that's 100% per your AMD entitlement 100% all of the rest and then 75 to 100 for your special ed costs. So that makes a huge huge difference. So um really important there but it's really good for people to see kind of what funds our general fund. This is the budget that I have prepared. Just kind of a comparison to last year. I always like to look at last year and I
067look at the years before too. But for you guys to be able to see um if you see for the elementary where you can see that we're our budget is only $200,000 more. So um it's going to make a difference. And then also what affected us a little bit and and you'll see in the high school is um we did the overbase levy to the taxpayers and legislation passed after that. So we missed out on a little bit of money as well there. We um didn't we weren't able to get the max once legislation had passed. Um but we they were we were able to get the max budget no matter what. It just um takes a little bit more from the taxpayers and this and the state aid for us to to gain that
068budget, but we're still only $200,000 more in that general. Um I came down just a little bit in the transportation what I budgeted for that just because of um our routes and we're not running like like we used to. And last year we have um our unreserved fund balance is 155,000 in our transportation. So I chose not to um levy in that fund. Um bus depreciation there is a small amount because we are planning on um doing two buses. Robert says we're on a rotation to replace two. Um tuition next year I will be putting something in there. We did receive things this year, but it was too late. Back back back in March, I believe I had to do the intent to impose taxes on the public and I did not include the tuition
069fund. Um, but I have since received in the elementary about $5,000 bill. So as I am invoicing Land Deere and Harden for tuition for their students to come here, we got charged as well. >> So um it wasn't in time to do this, but in the future I do plan on levying for that small amount just so that that fund can pay for that. That's what it's there for. Um but it was too late to do it this year. Um, you can see our retirement is up quite a bit. So, and then adult ed is very healthy. I didn't um Oh, that's elementary. We don't have adult ed on elementary. Um, we have our tech fund has a little bit levied in there. In the future, I do believe the auditors will uh be talking
070to me about um either running another tech levy, a voted levy, or will we'll have to take some of the programs that we code to tech. We code a lot of programs to tech when um it may have to be our general fund, start picking up some of those. And if it can't, then we'll go to other funds like impact aid and um our interlocal things like that. But we would like to I've talked to Derek too about like getting on the same page as um what programs are we using? What are people not using? Um can we cut anything there? Is it are we being wasteful, I guess? And if not, like that's kind of an admin decision to have. But the programs is on my mind due to the tech fund um carrying
071some of that. So that may change in the future. Just heads up. And then the building reserve. I did the state major maintenance aid that I told you guys that um I was going to do. They upped their um before it didn't really seem really worth it and now they have changed their calculation. So we get a lot more back from that. And then I know these guys went to a safety summit and that money can be used for safety things. So, um hopefully we'll talk about that a little bit later of what that money could be potentially used for. Um there we go. And then our high school budget kind of the same um situation. I didn't have as much um funds to carry over in the um general fund. We like to I
072didn't talk about the reserves, but that second column is the reserve column. Um we always try to obtain at least what it asks on there that we do reserve 10% 20% and so on down the list. There's only four of them that let you um reserve a max amount. um didn't quite get there with the general fund, but when you do a bond and you ask for a bond, they look at that and they look and see, are we keeping are we getting close to that 10%, that 20%? And if we are, that tells them that we're healthy, we're stable. So, um I took that into account to try to keep that um exactly where it should be. And then you can see in that other revenue column, a lot of that other revenue is
073our coal proceeds, the coal mitigation block grant that we receive. Um, and adult education there. I didn't I didn't levy in that one. I feel like it is very um still very healthy. Um, every once in a while I I have I did do it the year before because the coal proceeds when we get those in um I have to put them back to the funds that we levied the taxpayers in and I have a calculation but it gets spread out the exact same way as I do the mills. So, um, that's why every once in a while I'll throw in adult ed just to get some revenue coming in there other than what we're paying for classes or salaries for the adult ed. And they do pick up some of the costs of the
074pool and things like that. So, if we're not getting any funds in and we're just spending, so that helps to levy just a small amount in there so we can get some cool proceeds in there as well. Um, tech is on there again. same situation with that and the building reserves. So, not too crazy. Um, that unreserved fund balance reappropriated is the cash that we still have on hand. It kind of explains that we can keep 10% of it in that general fund. Um, if I had more than that, the general fund limit is 15% of the ensuing year's maximum general fund budget. So, unreserved fund balance that exceeds that amount will be remitted to the state guarantee account. We haven't had to do that yet. Don't worry, we're not there yet. Okay, we're almost
075there. We're almost done, guys. Okay, looking ahead, um these are things that just I have put down of things for us to just be thinking about is the bond election, bus rotations in FY27, enrollment changes, and our taxable valuation. Our enrollment is um down along with your taxable evaluation. So, that is things that we'll just want to keep an eye on and look at. And that's why I said watch our trigger points. Um, and you know, my suggestion was maybe to like look at them again if you guys are, you know, if you if you want to look at those again, just think just looking at maybe our trigger point for enrollment is a certain number, you know, but also if our taxable evaluation goes down, we might have to start looking at some things
076there. Um, keeping our budget authority is always top priority with those overbased levies and then the state major maintenance aid funds. Like I said, they went to a um, safety summit. So, um, there are some funds there to be used for that and maybe they will have some ideas and they all came back pretty chatty about what they did there. So, um, hopefully there are some ways that we can spend that money intentionally and start having that conversation about how you guys want to spend that. >> I don't know how much work this is. >> And then we're just going to throw it out the window. >> Seems like you can have my copy. >> I know how much work it takes you to do this and I know the amount of hours you got
077to put in and I thank you for all this. You are welcome. >> You are always on point and it's always there and ready to go. So, thank you. >> Besides the high school and I forgot to copy off. I almost had it all together. Almost. >> I would like for discussion points to come back to our first work session. >> Absolutely. >> Like how many buses do we have? Do we need all those buses? >> Exactly. We have a lot of robust that we could probably >> Yeah. >> Just Yeah. trigger points looking at >> what we said was in there and do we need to look at something else. I think that's great. Yeah, I think we should definitely have discussions about those. >> Yeah, if you could keep that in the back
078here. Let's put that on that bullet point for >> Yeah, we'll do. >> Any other questions? >> Britney. Yeah, I just have a couple comments. Yeah. Um, first of all, thank you. You're welcome. But in our church alone, I think we have like 40 homeschool students. Yeah. And I know that when a number of years ago when we opened when we encouraged the homeschool students to participate in middle school activities, we actually got quite a few enrolled in the school through that. >> And I think the more that we can reach out to the homeschool community because our homeschool population all the way through high school is growing at our church. >> Yeah. >> And so the more we can encourage them to be involved in activities, the more likely we might get more involved.
079>> Yeah. Yeah. >> And then I went to the um sec 22nd annual energy open and just in the conversation there I was hoping that there would be you know more families moving in as some of these new energy resources are beginning construction and there may be initially but not as much as I thought because it's so easy to convert the existing workforce to handle the nuclear um and whatever else is coming. >> So that wasn't as hopeful as I'd >> wished. So yeah, there's just we got to find other ways. >> Yeah. Thank you. >> Okay. >> I move that the Coaster Public Schools Board of Trustees adopts the following budgets. Elementary budget 2526 0796 and high school budget 2526797. >> Second. >> Okay. Motion second. Any other public comment on this? Any further
080board? >> Francis. >> Hi, >> Angry. >> Hi, >> Tiff. >> Hi. >> Very good again. >> Thank you for everything. >> You're welcome. You're welcome. >> There we go. I did. >> I was yelling. I don't want to see her out here at 9 10:00 at night. >> No, budget. >> That's done. Just keep starting sentences that start with I. Hi. She want to see you out here. >> And that's what I told her. >> Oh, I appreciate it. >> I told her I wouldn't tell anybody. She shoots here till 11:00 to the >> I came in 2 hours late today. >> Yes. Good for you. >> Right on time. >> Hey. >> Uh, she wasn't feeling good. >> 10.01. >> Scott. >> Yeah. I just I really wanted to talk a little bit
081about safety. Um because the admin team did go to the Jerry and Bulock um safe schools conference last week in Billings for two days and I guess the thought was like this is kind of like the worst thing to go to and it's sort of like the best thing to go to at the beginning of the school year because >> it's so tough to hear those stories and those situations that there's just getting more and more of >> as far as school shootings, intruders, um just the threats um from bomb threats to again the deaths um all the tragedies. So, you know, we became very aware of our needs and some of those that we'll be working on um real soon. I know I tried to put a lot of effort into that the beginning
082of the year. Um we brought we brought in a threat assessment training or went to threat assessment training, brought in the teams um and that's part of legislation and those need to improve. We heard about that. um from everything from doors to windows to shades to um just different procedures too. And I think we learned a lot. Uh it was really hard. We began with hearing from a parent from Sandy Hook that she started the Sandy Hook Promise organization. So they have a lot of resources. Um, one of them an anonymous tip line that I know Wyoming taps into. She named about four states that do and I used that and um, you know, that's something we could look at too. it and you start the conference listening to a parent like that and then
083we end actually with Jeremy Bullock who was a student shot I believe was 11 years old on the playground in be and you know his parents started this conference they said six years ago and it's only gotten better and better just outstanding sessions uh that were put on for us to attend. So we have lots of takeaways more than we could even get done and handle in a year. So, we'll be looking at priorities as an admin team, what we want to do first, what we need to put in place because like the the one I know Bart and I were in that same session, one of the law enforcement of some sort. He used to be a teacher and his wife was a principal. Anyway, he's in the schools in Alabama and he was
084just tremendous. And he said, you know, all of the curriculum, all of the test scores, all of everything you deal with is so important. He said, "But if your kids don't feel safe and aren't safe, then you can forget all the rest." And that's the note I kind of want to leave the board on and us on and to leave it on tonight and to to begin with because to make sure everybody's safe in school and how to do that. It's is tremendous amount of work. You know, I've been in this education now for 39 years. This is my 39th year. And we went from field, you know, fire drills and that's all you did to never talking about safety. I remember when Coline happened. I remember dealing with my first threat. I remember dealing
085with the bomb threat, deaths of students, deaths of teachers. All of it's tragic. All of it's difficult to deal with it and you have to have a really good plan. And so I did find a template there uh for emergency plan of operation that we really have to work on and get in place. So, that's kind of going to be that's going to be a major emphasis for us this year um first and foremost. And I've been trying to make that one of my um um I guess responsibilities. I know it is. So, don't take it lightly and neither do any of the people that were at the the training. So, anyway, it was great. Appreciate um being able to go to that and learn and always want to get I want to get some
086of the people that weren't there this year to it next year. next year bounces to but so I know we had some maintenance people there from other districts we didn't send Robert um there were also let me see was I thinking of that might benefit from that but anyway we'll we'll keep going um it was extremely good way to start the year to think about what's really important um like I said it all is but nothing as important as keeping everybody safe and it can happen anywhere anything can happen I never thought I'd deal with a bomb threat we thought it was real I I mean, that was scary. It a small school district. So, >> well, I think you got the full back end of the board. Whatever you guys feel like you need
087to do, just do it. >> You know, if it comes to a budgetary thing where you need board approval, of course. But if it doesn't, >> do it. >> So, be talking to you guys. Glad to see some of that budget in there, but >> we'll get ahead. Either way, we'll figure it out. >> Yeah. On that note, swing by the elementary and check out the new coverings got on the window. FM Creations came in today. Did a beautiful job putting up new kind of safety screen over our windows and uh looks really good. Nice little design and and pretty cool. So, swing by the elementary and check it out. I'm not just thrilled >> like what did you do your cafeteria >> cafeteria and the main office windows and then depending on budget we'll
088roll down the whole front of the building eventually through my office but I want to get those two areas of concern the the cafeteria was huge I mean >> it's a lot of windows >> there so but it looks really nice they did a great job on it Okay, good. >> Oh, yeah. We heard all about the fishbowls. We heard about ways that are more and more um improvements with safety and in schools, some really good exhibitors there um to be able I brought some things back for us to look at. So, yeah, I mean, if there's nothing else, I mean, that's we need to get that done. I can't feel more called to something than I did when I got back from that. So, purpose. >> All right. Britney again. Thank you. >> You're
089welcome. >> I know that's not fun. Oh, she laughed every minute.
