001This conference will now be recorded. >> There we go. >> Okay. Uh, call the meeting to order. I'm Mike Ziggler, chair. Uh, if we can go around the room and then, uh, online >> trustee >> Stephan Shabbi, superintendent and then online. Alex Rivas, trustee. >> Trustee. >> Okay, that takes us to the consent agenda. If uh everyone's had a chance to look at that, we've been having a motion and a second for that. >> A motion to approve. >> I'll second it. >> It's been moved and seconded. Any further comments or discussion? If not, all in favor say I. >> I. >> Any opposed? Motion carries. Takes us to communication. Is there any public comment for anything not on the agenda? >> No one here to make public comment. >> Okay. So, that takes us
002to reports. Uh, anything anybody wants to add or highlight or questions? >> You guys have anything in your reports? >> The only thing I would like to add is um if you know of anyone that has housing for rent >> um to reach out to the district office. We have some teachers that are going to be moving in that we're looking for some rental. >> Thank you. >> Anybody else? nothing addition. >> I don't have anything either. Um >> Okay. Uh I guess you know only thing I'd add is you know there was some correspondence with the GA. If you guys want to read that feel free. Little interesting I guess to say the least but uh that's ongoing. Um so other than that I guess we can move on if nobody has anything else.
003Uh takes us to reports, discussions, and policies, building updates. Uh yep, red. >> Uh yeah. So um the latest update on the sewer project is I shouldn't have highlighted that yellow. >> Oh, >> no. It's actually the only snap food that we've had pretty much even said that. I know. I was like, "What are you doing?" >> Glad you do. >> Is the uh partitions in the locker rooms manufacturers sent two wrong pieces for all four to try to get them to expedite. So, the girls locker room, I think we will still have 100% completed by Thursday. And then so we just don't for them to get them right. Other than that, everything's still on traffic. other than just a whole bunch of other stuff if anybody had any questions. Yeah. Yeah. I guess uh
004I'd just like to add it's where we were a couple months ago till now is just kind of quite amazing everything that's been done. It's awesome to see. >> And they're beautiful. The locker rooms are going to be gorgeous. They really are >> nice. Yeah. All right. >> I would just like to figure out how to do these kind of things without emergency projects. >> I know. >> So, yeah. So, we can figure out that would be great >> one day. >> Yeah. >> Yep. So I guess there's nothing more for we have uh policies and these are looks like they are all only require this one reading. So uh yeah if we've had a chance to look at those if everybody's good with that we can pass these with uh just this motion second
005and a passing. >> Yeah. So, real quickly before you go, just a um this is the first time of the policies for our new board members. Um but you know, the policy committee meets, we go over what MTSBA, which is our Montana School Boards Association, who we belong to for policies and other legal counsel stuff, they take what's happens in the legislature and all the new laws and they put it into policy updates. the policy committee looks at that and then they um will either, you know, say, "We need more questions on this." And so then I go get more information, bring it back to the policy committee, or they're like, "Yeah, this looks good." And then it comes um to you guys. And then based off of what they tell us, if it's a
006required um update or not, based off the law is based off of what that policy 1310 uh states. all these fit under that um as required. So that's why they get to be done in one reading. For those of that don't fit that and sometimes we'll have some that aren't that like Mike said, um it would be it would take two readings. There'd be a first reading and then a second reading. The first reading is usually just hey here's the first reading. There's not really any action on that. It just allows everyone to look at it and then it comes the next board meeting um and gets finalized. So um so yeah that's just wanted to explain a little bit on that. There'll be a lot more coming. There's a lot that the policy committee
007has to look at. So >> I'll move to approve. >> I'll second. It's been moved and seconded. Any further discussion or comments? If not, all in favor say I. >> I. >> Any opposed? Motion carries. That takes us to action item a 2425 trustees financial report 2526 budget. Um yes. So um every year this is always an something that happens in the August meeting. We are required by law um to do certain things. One of them is to notice our budget hearing which is today. Um and then if we are don't have it done then we get to do it day by day until we get it done uh following the timeline uh set forth in policy 1400. And um so we have done our requirements. We are not finished with the trustees annual and
008the budget. Like since I've been in this district, I don't think we ever have during this meeting. Um and it's just a lot of work. They don't open up certain things um with even being able to let our business office even get into it until the end of July. I don't remember what date that is, but it just puts a lot of stress on the business office how they have it structured. And I get why they do it that way, but it is still really difficult and probably confusing for some people. But um but basically, we're going to work on that and we're hoping to have in my board report I said if we didn't get it done, we're looking to have that budget meeting uh next Monday the 18th at 5:30. So, um that
009is when we will hopefully have that done. That's the goal. Um, we're trying to get that done, but it has to be um, we have to get it the next step is to get it once you guys approve it, then it goes to the county superintendent and then it goes to the state. And there's certain timelines that they have to follow, certain timelines we have to follow. And so, and then we just um, work together to try to get it done and to the state um, when that is is there. So, so we are so far still on schedule even though it's not being done today. Um, but that we're hoping to have done. If we do it next Monday, which that's the goal. That will probably be the earliest that we've done it. Um,
010since I've been superintendent probably. I don't know. I just don't know what it was before, but um, it's pretty early. Usually it's a little bit closer to August 20th, if not past that. Um, we're usually up to the last day that we need to do it. So, um, but we're trying to push a little bit more so that people can plan, but it all kind of depends. So for those new people, the trustes annual is basically um a report that is required every single year based off of spending last year and then the budget is obviously what we're planning on for the next year. So any questions on that or anything? So hopefully next Monday at 5:30. Okay. So since there's no action to be taken on that at the moment uh there's no action
011other uh upcoming events is the next board meeting. No Vulker and Waguser. So yeah if there's nothing else I'll adjourn the meeting. Thanks everybody. >> Sounds good. Thanks everyone. >> You
