001Uh let's go ahead and call this meeting to order. Please stand for the pledge of allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. All righty. Thank you all for being here. Don't have any guests tonight. So, I'll move right along to uh correspondence or public participation. This is the point in the meeting for comments on matters not already on the agenda. Comments on agenda items will be accepted when that item comes up during the meeting. Persons may also submit views and written form to the clerk or superintendent prior to the meeting. Those comments were brought to the attention of the board during Do we have any correspondence or public participation? Um, you guys know
002me, Marietta Croft, teacher of the high school. I just wanted to let you guys know that we are still keeping track of our in-house coverage dates. The document that I've made for in-house coverage when we don't have subs is now almost at three full pages. And I sat down and did the math. We've covered in-house 51.6. So 52% of the school year. We've only been in school 153 days. And we've covered for 79 of them, which is 679 class periods that have had to be covered in house. I know that summing is an issue and it's going to continue to be an issue, but it's something that we should really look at as a district because this is leading to a lot of burnout for teachers, for other staff. Um, I mean, Robin's even covered
003some classes to try to help out, but it's just it's getting to be a lot and I know there's not very much that can be done, but there has to be some kind of give and take. Thank you. Anyone else? All right. 4.01. Okay. Uh we'll not be actually recommending Trixie Bird Chief. She has withdrawn her application for this position. Okay. What's that? We'll move right into uh new business. The presentation travel request travel request. Oh my gosh. Are you doing it? Oh, okay. Sorry. I was just reading a message. It's fine by the way, but sorry. So, I've been the art club advisor this year and we have one student that has been involved since forever and she's graduating this year. So, we wanted to do something with her because she's worked so hard
004over the years raising money. and Tessa has joined this year and worked very hard at raising money too at the talent show and they thought it would be neat to go somewhere other than Billings other than like the normal places. Me being new wasn't thinking about Sheridan being out of state I guess because it's 100 miles away but they have a lot of neat art things and Tessa would like to tell you about that and why we would like to have permission to go overnight to Sheridan. Yeah, I think it would be really cool cuz personally I'm really excited about the paper making and like theater experience. I haven't had a lot of that and the only time I went to a theater was in DC. I thought it's really cool and it shows different
005perspectives of different like arts and cultures and stuff. So, personally, I think it'd be like a good experience and I think it'd be a great way to show our appreciation for Katie since she raised so much money for us. So, I'm asking that you let us go on this trip just because this seems like a really cool experience. Even if this is my first year, I feel like this would be amazing for all of us. So, they get to um we have made arrangements for them to make paper at one at the library at an art gallery. They get to work with an artist and do needle punching and making things with wool. all kinds of things that you know, you know, all of our kids should have a chance and maybe they can bring
006those things back and show them to the students here at school too as they learn them. Uh the other things are the statues. If you've been to Sheridan, you know, there's statues along the main and they get to go see those and then meet with a couple of other artists in Sheridan and talk to them about their work. And so we I think we've we left them time to explore too, but we also have it pretty um laid out and including ending the evening painting cabinet canvases at the hotel. So, you know, sounds fun. And we just hope that you approve our our quick and little trip. I move that the Coaster Public Schools Board of Trustees approves the CHS Art Club to travel to Sheridan, Wyoming on May 9th and 10th, 2025. Second. Okay.
007Motion second. Any public comment on this agenda item? Any further board? Wait. Hi. Tiff. Hi. Angie. Hi. Sabrina. Hi. Hi. Bring us back some pictures. Oh, we will. And also, we worked out a deal with the hotel. So, it's like a hundred and what is it? And oh, it's cheap, but if anybody needs to fly out of Sheridan, we now have an account with that hotel. And uh because a lot of people are choosing to fly out of Sheridan, so we do get a discounted rate for cultur schools now out of there. Thank you. Thank you. Uh 5.02 some uh resignations for your information. With that, we'll move on 103 uh classified. Any recommendations for two classified pair of professionals upcoming school year, Kim Hall and Shauna Sessions. You want me to do this separately
008just cuz I'm fine with I move that the Coaster Public Schools Board of Trustees approves the classified hiring of Kim Hall and Shauna Sessions for district pair of professionals for the 2526 school year. Second. Okay. Motion a second. Any public comment on this agenda? Any further board? Wade. Hi. Tiff. Hi. Angie. Hi. Hi. Hi. Employment uh extracurricular. I would like to recommend Sierra Hamilton as the Coast High School assistant volleyball coach for the 2526 school year. I move that the Coast Public Schools Board of Trustees approves the extracurricular hire of Sierra Hamilton, CHS assistant volleyball coach for the 2526 school year. Second. Have a motion and a second. Any public comment on this agenda item for the board? Wade. Hi, Tiff. Hi, Angie. Hi, Sabrina. Hi. Hi. 5105. Calendar. Right. I'd like to present. We
009have one calendar proposed. Our committee, as you've known, I've given updates off and on. uh we met six or seven times and we took the existing calendar and reviewed it and made sure that it fit within um the CBA's current hours for our teachers and then all of the hours required for grade levels are also kind of laid out here. So those are all met and um since we did look at each part we kind went topic by topic as I've explained from parent teachers conferences that's one that went back to evenings kind of the way it had been um oh flex days we did go from 3 to two because we do get one free one from the state uh and so just there's a little bit of little bit of change but not
010much at all it's going to be real similar Christmas was probably one of our um I would say biggest debates, but kind of just having to look at that because of where it fell. Um if you saw the survey, there's a lot of comments about enjoying looking forward to a twoe break for for Christmas. Um and again, that's a this had a lot to do with the day. Uh I think Christmas Eve was a Wednesday. Um so since you have seen it, I won't go into a whole lot of more about it. We surveyed the community and got those results. Um, so it's real similar to this year. I move that the Colster Public Schools Board of Trustees approves the calendar as submitted by the calendar committee for the 2526 school year. Second. Okay. Motion
011second. Any public comment on this agenda item? Any further board? Wade. Hi. Tiff. Hi. Angie. Hi. Hi. Hi. Okay. 56 like to uh recommend it for 25 26 school year administrative salary increase of 3% as presented. I would like to uh format this similarly to the not affiliated and the certified u because I don't think it's fair to just tie one group to a levy. So I would like to propose uh the 3% if the levies pass and a 2% if the levies fail. I agree. I think that we should probably keep it even across the board for everybody. I was thinking the same thing. So, we've done that for the others. Yeah. I move that the Colart Public Schools Board of Trustees approves the 2026 school year administrative salary increase of 3% if the
012general levy passes and 2% if the general levy fails. Second. Okay. Motion second. Any public comment on this agenda item? Any for the board? Wave. Hi, Tiff. Hi, Angie. Hi, Serena. Hi. Hi. 5.07 40 bell. I hate to be honest. I hate it. Does it get on my back? It's always the same. We can all do better. And I agree with it. I completely agree with it. We can always do better and that's pretty much what it came down to was honestly value saying there's always room for improvement. So, and I like I said I completely agree with that. So, nothing surprising on that board. Okay. 5.0 08 Miss Anel. Okay. Um we visited about this uh a couple meetings ago or meetings ago, whatever it was. Um so we're bringing it back. We are
013proposing that we um drop from four required credits of math to three. Um on the graduation requirement form that's in the course description book, uh we added one math credit must be taken each year, freshman, sophomore, and junior. So they would be required those three years. Um then uh collegebound students are strongly encouraged to take four years of math. Um we also like students who are college athlete bound or that's their goal. They would be encouraged. Also, uh we did have another PLC meeting Derek was at. Um part of that is going to go back to us doing a four-year plan so kids see where they're going. um in visiting with students. Um I I think there are a number that will continue to take math classes. The nice thing about this is that Dull
014Knife is offering college algebra here in the fall. So I think a lot of those seniors rather than taking another math class are going to choose to take that to get the college credit. So, um, it matches up with the university requirements in the state, matches up with their surrounding schools, and we're still above the Montana State requirement of two credits. I move that the Colster Public Schools Board of Trustees approve the change in the math requirement from four credits to three credits in our graduation requirements. Second. Okay. A motion to second. Any public comment on this? Any for the board? Derek, do you have any thoughts? I think this move makes sense. Okay. You know, I think it's a good move. We're still meeting the state standard. We're still meeting um college entrance standards
015for our state. Uh and we are encouraging kids if they want to take that athlete path for NCAA requirements to take that extra math class. So, I think that this one makes a lot of sense for our kids. Very good. Anything else? Wade. Hi, Tiff. Hi, Angie. Hi, Sabrina. Hi. Hi. Thank you. Uh 5.09 CFO for the stars act. Okay. So, I'm going to go ahead and just read through this. I think it's really important for everybody listening, everybody out there to hear a little bit about this. You heard STARS Act. Um it's it's right there in the legislation. um should be signed as in a meeting today either tomorrow or the next day real soon. So this week we're supposed to get the the final finalization of this. Um so looks like it's going
016to all be in place. So I'm going to go ahead and just read through what it is and how it works. The STARS Act is short for Student and Teacher Advancement for Results and Success Act. It is a bill that aims to increase starting teacher pay and address Montana's chronic teacher shortage. It does this by providing additional state funding to school districts that raise their lowest teacher salaries to align with their average teacher pay. Whereas to comply with the STARS Act and receive funding without the possibility of any funding complications in the fiscal year 26 then 27 andou must be in place with the CFA union by May 15th. And we did just get that agreement today and they said we could um speak to that since Brandy couldn't be here tonight. So that's that's
017a really good thing. We have everything in place. Um that was recommended. And then the district how it works is the district is required to pay 62% of the average pay of 40,1 or 11 times the quality educator program which is 41,615 whichever is greater. require the required starting wage for the stars act for coal strip is 41,615 the fi the FY26 starting wage for a teacher in coal strip is 43,746 which is $2,131 more than what is required by this bill we do not have to make any changes to the salary matrix at this time other districts are going through reopening negotiations you probably heard having to do those things. We didn't have to do any of that since we're already above that baseline. So, the money um if this passes, like I said,
018it should should be passed by the governor this week, then that that money would just come to us in our general fund. Okay. I move that the public schools board of trustees approve the CFA stars actuou as presented. Second. Okay. Have a motion and a second. Any public comment on this? Any further board? Is there any additional um reporting that has to happen or or anything like that associated with this? Cost the district anything? No. No. We'll just be completing like the application by May 15th. I don't know of any extra reporting. Have you No, we just have to report what our average teacher pay is. and um they did they basically are just making sure we qualify. So you have to have that MOU in place or if you didn't have a you have
019to have it in your policy. So those are the only reporting I have to do before May 15th. But there's no cost to that portal. I saw it today in the meeting I was at and they'll open that up hopefully really soon. Everybody has a short turnaround on this. I read that name. Double I Good. 510. Okay. So, this is a group home placement. Uh it's requested FP14 approval from the board of trustees for a coastal strip resident student to attend uh this facility and the tuition is for this year that is correct for the 425 school year. So it's happening right now at $3,187.80 is that money that the district is paying? Yes, we're required to by that new law that went into effect last year. That's like any out of district students that
020come here have to also pay us tuition. Okay. We just don't usually So that just comes money from money from the state out of our budget. Um right now, yes, we could permissively levy if we know that um a student is going to be in group placement next year. We could permissively levy. I opened that tuition fund earlier this year for that reason, just in case. Um, but I didn't have a need to levy the taxpayers for it yet. Um, if you want to cover that, we could levy them a small amount to cover that so that um, our funds don't have to pay it, but it's not that much money. So, I just planned on pulling it from the general fund. And just to clarify, I am checking to make sure that amount is
021um, accurate. So, at this point, I don't know that number is accurate. I just wanted to throw that out there. Um, it's what they told us and I've asked OPI to clarif clarify that for us and um I didn't hear back yet. So, but either way, we owe tuition and honestly when somebody goes to a facility like that, we pay the bill anyway, right? So, it just doesn't now it has to come on these FP14 forms. Okay. I move that the CRA board of trustees approves the FP14 district residence agreement as presented for the 2425 school year. Second. Okay. Motion second. Any public comment on this? Any further board? Wade. Hi. Tiff. Hi. Angie. Hi. S. Hi. Hi. 511. So just a request to move our May 26th board meeting since that is Memorial Day
022to have a new day date to reschedule that meeting on the 12. Yeah, that's just that's the purpose. Do we have to have it? Could we just skip it? I'm gone. I'm gone from the 18th to the 31st for travel for work. I just rolled my I'm okay with uh probably counseling that works meeting unless something regular schedule the first meeting in May and then we could a special meeting a special meeting if we have to. Okay, I'm good with that cuz I I can't do any day but any day that week. I was just looking at what was last year and it looks like um health insurance renewal that still is um in progress but uh we'll hopefully have that by that first May meeting. Um employment individual transportation contracts. We could we could
023possibly get that done by that first meeting. And then MH MHSA annual membership. Um we'll have to keep that on the radar. And then curriculum rotation was on there last year. We have to do a special one. That should be play out the first meeting. Yeah. And then we'll go from there. Okay. You that public schools board of trustees cancel the regular board meeting scheduled on Memorial Day, May 26, 2025. Second. Have a motion, a second. Any public comment on this? Steve, I have Terry Bowen on the Go ahead, Terry. She's unmuted. Check. I'm not sure. I see that she's unmuted, but I'm not hearing her. Terry She's messaging me. Okay. Um, can I speak for her? Yes. So, her Chromebook's not letting her speak. She just wants to make sure that they'll do a
024that you guys will do a special meeting for the CDA ratification for CCA. If it's ready by then. If it's ready by then. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. This is just like I said, we'll just play it from the start. We'll see what on that first meeting. If we can get a lot of this stuff done and not have to, then we will. But if we if something comes up like that, we'll absolutely get that right. What if we have to do it at a noon meeting or something? Yeah, we can get that done. So, yeah, it'll it could be a an afternoon. Doesn't want to drag it out. No. Anything else? Wade. Hi, Tiff. Hi, Andrew. Hi, H. We'll get everything worked out. With that, we'll move into the uh work session, transportation facilities. Robert, um
025got a few things going on. Um the airation of the football field was supposed to happen like a week ago. Couldn't because the weather supposed to be today. because of the weather. But um I did talk to him and he's going to try and get us before next Monday cuz well we're supposed to have some more weather then. So he's going to try get here get it done. Yeah. Uh we got some new partitions ordered in. They actually come in for the bathrooms across from office and oxygen at uh Frank Bratton. So we'll be getting those put in this summer or maybe sooner. see how things go. Um, we're replacing some old faucets in FBMS and then Midland Mechanical is going to replace some pump seals for us at FBMS in the boiler room so
026we don't have to look at drips anymore. And um we're getting some paper towel dispensers replaced there so everything matches up and they don't have to carry three different styles of paper towels and some of the old you know um get those updated. Uh, one thing I did not get on here that I forgot was I do have the seal kits in to go through all the showers and the pool locker rooms and the main locker rooms to get those all. Thought we think we were able to find a seal kit that was cheaper than 80 bucks a shower. So, like eight bucks a shower. So, a little more friendly there. Other than that, we're trying to keep up on work orders and get those worked down daytoday stuff. Looking forward to turning the boilers
027off here shortly. Yeah. And then prepping for summer meet with Brian sometime this week for the uh summer hires, but we'll have that ready for you to go that next meeting. Okay, thank you. Thanks. All right, move right into policy. You Sorry, Tom. Yeah. Um, so the only thing I did, and I thought I attached it with the report, but I guess I didn't, um, is the quote for your middle school football uniforms. um went with VSSN and what they're presenting is a two-sided jersey which saves us quite a bit of money on having to buy home and away jerseys. Um, that is a quote for 40 uniforms tops and bottoms and 20 helmets because we already have 20 of the white helmets. And that would give us new helmets, new uniforms. Um, and also
028appropriate sizes for the kids that are the sixth and the seventh graders who are a little bit smaller so that they're not quite out there like Lucas. um those you old enough to remember that move. But yeah, so we're looking at a little less than $7,700 for the total package and might be able to knock a couple more $100 off of that. Um with Jay Schinger, he is talking about doing a different pan from a different company. That would be a little about $20 less a pan. So, um, but that's what we're looking at and that's, you know, that that would get that program decent looking uniforms and then Ashley has designed an FBMS Mustangs logo for the for the helmets. So, you know, give them a good looking uniform moving forward. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
029They It's not a question of Yeah. Yeah. They really do need it. Thank you to the AAU. Yeah. Yeah. Well, thank you. The AAU gave us they they gave us actually the helmets because most of the helmets that they had were were either no longer serviceable or getting to the end of their service life or even refurbishing them would only take us for another year or two. Whereas the ones we got from the AAOU, they just bought last like in the last couple years. Yeah. So they'll be good for another eight years or so and then these will be good for 10 years as well. So it's it's taking the program, you know, a decade into the future. Good. Tom, can I get a copy of that for the minutes? Thank you. Sorry. I deserve
030perfect. All right. That's that's other than what's in the report. That's what's new. I know we did the golf tournament. Um, oh, I did want to say one thing because there has been some question coming up about the the twilight meet that we're having tomorrow. Okay. Um, we are very limited in what we can do on the track. This is entirely the the primary purpose of that meet is to allow us to give our seniors a senior night. Um, it is really in essence a glorified practice. the the schools that we need that invited and accepted, not one of them has a track. So, it is all the local schools that are running on gravel or dirt. Um the track we the the schools that actually do run MHSA track meets won't come here because
031of the condition of the track. Um if you go in the back and it's already been looked at, you got that NASCAR turn back there where it kind of leans in further. I don't think any of our kids go that fast, but um or any kids that I've ever seen go that fast. But it's kind of got that curl and it does have kind of ridges in it. And so it it's not like we couldn't host a district tournament. We couldn't host a big tournament and a lot of it is not just the track itself. It's also the surrounding facilities, the things that people have already been made aware of, the bathrooms and things like this. So it's a small meet that is again the primary purpose is to give you know some of these
032local schools a chance to come here and let their families see them and also for our kids to be able to give recognition to our seniors. It's not um it's not an official meet. It's it's again yeah it's not sanctioned. Okay. So, it'll be So, that's, you know, kind of why we're able to do it, but it's not uh it doesn't change the situation of what's happening with the um with with trying to get the bond and trying to get everything fixed. So, and again, u let me stress that in going to these different uh MHSA meetings and athletic meetings, um there is a lot of interest from other schools in us getting the the facilities improved because they would love to have us as an option to come to because it is a lot
033closer for schools like Glasco and Baker and you know and all these other schools. It's a lot closer for them to come here than even to go to Billings. And basically right now track meets are run at at Laurel and Lockwood. So it it gives a lot closer option. And when you're talking about those meets, if you've been to those meets and you've been to those facilities, uh they're light years behind beyond what we have. And I mean, you're talking a thousand people coming in and to attract, you know, two 300 kids and their families coming in and and so it is a significant it's a significant impact for the for the school and the community to be able to host something like that. And right now we cannot do that. Perfect. Thank you. Okay.
034Policy. Policy number one, recommendation. These are from MTSBA recommended changes. This first one is to provide clarifying language regarding exercise of the board's authority and compliance with Montana statute. This is on lease purchase agreements policy 7525. Wasn't a lot there, but I thought it was important to to bring us in line with that. I move the Culture Public Schools Board of Trustees approves the first reading of policy 7525 lease agreements as presented. I'll second motion second. Any public comment on this for the board? Wade. Hi, Tiff. Hi, Angie. Hi, Sprint. Hi. Hi, and 4340. Okay. Yep. Recommending policy 4340. These are recommended changes also from MTSBA and these uh make our policy more consistent with the current Montana law. Again, another just important um aspect of our policies to stay stay current with the law.
035So, this will bring us in alignment with that. There's quite a few strikethroughs and highlights of the new language. We've gone through it. I move the Col Public Schools Board of Trustees approves the first reading of policy 4340, public access to district records as presented. Second. Okay. Motion second. Any public comment on this? Any further board? Wade. Hi, Tiff. Hi, Angie. Hi, Hi. Okay. With that, we'll move on to tech. All right. Mr. Stewart, I have some highlights for you for the last month. Do you have any questions about them? I'll do my best. Um this week now last week I met with Range Telephone to look at um some details on moving our internet connection from the middle school over here to the high school. Uh they didn't provide me any clear firm details,
036but they had a one of their technicians and their sales rep come down and we toured the facility and show I showed them what equipment we need to move. So, they're going to get me some more details on to get um to get that fixed or not to get that fixed, but to tell us what the cost would be and what um they have to do. They still think it's going to be less work on their end and more work on our end just getting our network team uh to move some internal equipment around. Uh but I hope to have that in the next maybe next two months by summertime to give you a little better idea of what that might cost. Um and then I did reach out to him about the phones. Um
037we'll do more talk I I'll do more talk with them on the phone system, but they did recommend that if we want to move our phone service from Centria um it's pretty much range is the only other provider in the area for phones and they would do that through the um internet cloud phone service. Uh one thing that would require us to do is upgrade all of our phones uh that are on desks or in classrooms. So, there could be a bigger bigger cost than I was thinking there would be because I was hoping we'd be able to use our existing phone equipment, but to move to their service, we would have to upgrade all of our equipment. Um, so it's possible then that this move could be split into two different projects. One, the
038easier one, move the internet service, and then it once we get some budget numbers, maybe a separate budget year to do the phone service since it would be a pretty major uh upgrade. um at least costwise and then you know during the summer my team could replace all the phones in the classrooms to do that. But I'll get you more details on that. They they think the internet will be the easier one for them to move. Um, next bit is just an update on the room's messaging app that it went live on April 16th and as of today we have 30% of our registered guardians um, activated in the service which is pretty good for only two weeks out there and a lot of parents are probably not expecting to use the app right away.
039But it's good that all the invites went out to guardians according to the contacts in Infinite Campus and we have some people up and I've seen that we we have a few teachers that are trying it out to talk with their parents and I just will talk with those teachers more and see if they're getting a good response. Uh but I was happy to see that um most of our teachers did enable their classroom like chat space inside the app which was a big deal so that if parents do sign up and get into the app they'll at least see all the classes that their kids are in and they won't be wondering what am I supposed to it's there and then teachers will communicate if they want to use that. So, I think that's
040a good a good move that people our teachers and parents are um adopting and and should be ready to really go forward with it next year. Um, this is just a like very minimum minimal details, but I need to double check with Lauren what our date is on our printer uh service renewal. That renewal is due or it's expiring. I think we're at a 5year mark. and Dex um Printers, who's our the new name of our old service provider, let me know a few months ago that that contract was up for expiration. Um so this month I'll be looking at or the next couple weeks be looking at what does it look like for um renewing that service contract because we need to renew a service contract with somebody for the printers. Um, but Dex
041is getting me a list of printer usage to give us a better idea of out of all the printers we have, because we have a very large fleet of printers, are we really using all the ones that we have? Uh, and so there could be some cost savings if we decide to reduce the amount of printers. But that'll be a conversation I'll have with Scott and hopefully the admin team because that will change some dynamics in classrooms if we decide to reduce the printers. But I want to look at that. So I'll give you more. of next month. I think that's when we'll have to approve a new contract and all the details that that would entail. Um, just a little bit of my team updates. Uh, Bill's doing an awesome job bringing some of
042his past programming experience. He's uh utilizing a lot of the AI tools that we have available through our uh Google services and doing just an amazing job of automating some of our inventory management so that once a device goes out, we have systems in place to uh update that that record so that we're not forgetting to go back because that's always the challenge of so many parts are moving and we have to make sure to go and update those systems in our inventory. And then Chris is doing an awesome job uh using her organization skills to help us inventory and organize all our little spaces. And next month I hope to have a obsolete list for you guys to look at and hopefully approved so we can get that prepped and ready to go out
043uh over the summer because I'm expecting Yellowstone e-waste will do another free pickup of e-waste as long as we have it ready to leave the property by end of July. Um, but I remember it took a couple weeks last year to get those postings put out in the newspaper and and all that stuff. So, Chris is working on that and hope to have that the next month for you. Um, and then just a little summary on the help desk. As of last week, my team had 177 new tickets u put into case um for that month and that's just the ones that were reported. That doesn't include our walkups and our call-ins and we had 153 of those closed out. So we had a pretty that's the best completion rate I've seen in the last
044couple months. 86% of calls that we're getting we're completing within that month time frame. So just shows that case is good to keep track of stuff or some kind of tracking system and we get a lot of calls a lot of people need help with computers. So any questions you have on any of those items? I was dragging my feet on the Rooms app, but then once I got it, I didn't realize it was already in the app that I already have. Yeah. So, I didn't have to download something. It was just right in there. So, that might help people to sign up if they know that it's not another app. It's already in their app. That's what I've been telling people because I wasn't sure how it would look in the new app and
045I was like just crossing my fingers like please, I understood this correctly. There is no separate app. Yeah. But yeah, we're getting the word out that if you already have the Cole Strip app, get done. Just sign up and you'll get to see all your classes. Yeah, your training video was really good explaining that. That was nice. Yeah. Helpful. Okay. I think I think I made it sound like it's not an extra thing, but just include it. At least the way it came across to me. Sabrina said, "Yeah." Yeah. No, I like it. It's great communication and not an extra thing. Yeah, perfect. Thank you. Uh, communication. Insurance update. Um, we've been having our insurance meetings. Um, Sean Samuelson came in and let us know that we have a um 8.8 increase. We joked about
046maybe we'd get a decrease, but that didn't happen. So, um, doesn't sound like anything else really is changing. The committee wants to keep the plans that, um, everybody worked really hard last year getting approved and so there won't be any change with that. I am still trying to get a census out to them to look into our supplemental like life insurance and long-term disability. They gave us like a 25% increase, but they haven't increased in a really long time. So, um, I have them working those numbers. So, that possibly could be the only thing that changes. So, I think we're in a good spot. Thank you, Brett. And the graduate profile. Yeah. When admin, we met last week and we thought it was really important. Uh, one piece we didn't really have u for the
047grad profile was bringing it here. And I know last year um Mrs. Nansel I believe presented the graduate profile the sample piece here and kind of how it works to the board um how it's built and you know the purpose of that because it was new for accreditation this year and so then that's here for you to look at all the stages. I won't go through cuz those have been done. But what was created was this portrait of a wheel because part of that profile sample you'd see there. Um is that they wanted a physical uh look to it and our district had put it into um I believe we use the keys for most of it. um kind of around what they've been using um as a model in our district and the definitions
048uh follow uh who a learner is, what a learner is, where it takes place, when learning is, why and how. So it defines that and I know one thing too we did we did a survey this year um from parents and community um went to everybody during parent teachers conference actually staff and students. So we have we have that to just to kind of get out there for accreditation to submit that to them. Uh they wanted to see that. That was one of the missing pieces that we didn't get to them. Uh but we did do it and uh take care of all of it. So we thought it was really important for you guys to see it and everybody else to to see it and they look at it and the board agenda and
049see what we've created. Looks good. Yeah. Okay. Thank you, Scott. Team effort. Yeah. Anything else with that?
