001I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America school board of trustees notice of me meeting being recorded.

The lost place the guidance associated with providing public comment is stated in policy 1420F. By remaining in the meeting, those present consent to being recorded and displayed in the footage that

002would be posted on school district's website. So >> public input comments must be non-aggenda items and related to topics under the jurisdiction of the Malta public schools. Has everybody signed in? No public comment. Uh consent agenda. >> Motion to approve the consent agenda. Second. >> Motion from Angel. Second from Jessica. Is there any discussion? Any discussion? All those in favor say I. >> All those opposed same sign. Motion carries. Midnight leave of absence. We have two staff members um requesting a leave of absence for the CBA. >> Make a motion to second motion from Angel, a second from Jessica. Is there any discussion? Any discussion? All those in favor say I. I. >> All those opposed same sign. Motion carries. >> Policy. >> All right. We have the 54 uh 30 volunteer policy. Um there

003are some options below options one and two um that need your consideration. And this is the second reading for this particular policy. >> Is it second since we had to change it? >> It is second. Yeah. >> I'm sorry. Say again. >> You guys want me to take my >> one? You want to talk about one or >> one? >> Well, for this we should talk just about the second reading because we have to vote on that one, right? >> Yeah. Yeah, let's just do that. >> So, we're just >> so just volunteer policy is a second reading. The other ones are first readings. >> So, we have to choose option two. Correct. According to MHSA, >> uh I don't think you have to. MHSA it that was that particular person's judgment of what it

004meant but >> understood there was a different executive director he might have a different interpretation I think it's up to you guys what your policy is Yeah. Yeah. And then there's also the option to add the language in for the um complaint policy 1700. So there's option one, option two, and then the optional language about the complaint policy. >> I guess my comment is for the NHS executive director. I think we need Was that discussion? >> No, I discuss >> two is like we're doing now. >> Two is what you've done in the past. Yes. One is what we kind of tentatively started doing this year while we were waiting for this policy to be solidified. >> Um but I think that with this opinion of the god I think you need to ignore that.

005Just so everybody else is kind of aware, basically what we had gotten was a clarification from N MHSA that stated that board approved in MHSC handbooks. Sorry. when we ask for clarification what that's what they about board approved have been approved um the response to that fact that they're opinion any coaching status and then of course listen but correct me if I'm wrong what those fall under doesn't necessarily distinguish between head coach assistant coach or volunteer coach they're a coach. This is where they fall on your so if they do these things then they would need to be board proof basically >> anyone that has a background check. It's it's not about the background check, >> but that's how it was. >> No, it's about being a coach under they don't coach in any capacity

006and they don't distinguish any if they do this and they are coach being a coach as they considered school approved to be board. That's why we kind of option that basically said the volunteer coaches will be approved by the board of trustees and activities director will present the list of volunteers for approval of among board gates. Um, and I have a hard time that if we're going to do this for volunteer coaches that I think we should do this across the board for other volunteers because we always stress that our athletes are student athletes. So if we're going to put as much stress on our other volunteers, just as much as sometimes with our kids, then we're going to expect that we do approval for our volunteer coaches and our other coaches that our other

007volunteers that their rooms or other ones that they should also then be board approved. They're spending just as much time and we're going to put this kind of an emphasis on it is still our final decision that we need to be putting just as much emphasis on the volunteers that spending time with their kids this scholastic level but that's not >> yeah discuss that right now it's calling out volunteer coach >> yes I do send volunteers across I think five sets of eyes and are always good no matter what because And I think we're lucky enough in our small town, like any small town, background checks are awaits in any situation. You know what I mean? I I do think that five sets of eyes and ears are always better. I think there is a

008distinguishing factor though between a coaching role and a room mom. A room mom is in the elementary classroom for four times a year under the supervision of a teacher for less than an hour a time maybe less. I mean >> it could be that was just an example. It could be any kind of volunteer that comes into contact with our kids for the amount of time. >> And I'm not saying I disagree with that but I am just saying like I feel like MHSA takes precedent by saying school approved is considered approved by your school board. like so then how we deal with the rest of them I think maybe needs more discussion or consideration. Yeah, I definitely think they need to look at doing this all support them. Now, that does not mean that

009I don't agree with the fact or disagree with the fact that we have to do this for our volunteer coaches. I still stand on the fact that our administration, our head coaches and our assistant coaches that that's what we created and as a school board that it's always good to oversee what is going on, but I still kind of think of it as micromanaging and that we really need to lean heavily on these positions and trust on these positions. So we have hired place to take the recommendations wholeheartedly. Um, and I still would be if this had not come back from MHSA as what they are stating that it is, I still would be kind of cushion on this. But that's my two cents. I would like to say before it goes any further, I

010guess that this has been working its way through our system for months, lots of months. It's just coming out now. So, it's this has been in the works for a long time. Mhm. >> so I think Katie, um, we can vote on the policy as it's read tonight and then if you want to send it back to the personnel committee for another review about all other volunteers, then that would probably be the best way to handle it. I make the motion to approve the policy with options. >> And what about the other optional language about complaints? Yeah. policy and then add just over. >> Did you finish your motion? I think so. Motion a second. >> Any discussion? >> All those in favor say I. >> Those opposed. >> Mhm. All right. uh policy 1800

011is transportation. There's in that first uh after number three um that first full paragraph there's some um highlighted um language. Um and then in policy number 8110 um there are some also highlighted language changes in that as well. Again, this is your first reading for this one. >> When you say, we don't get it's bold. >> Sorry. >> It's >> Yeah, that's I bolded it for just that reason. >> Yeah. >> I guess I could underline it. Yeah. >> Oh, yeah. >> Um, it's struck. Yeah, the lines. the line is struck. >> So I just have clarification on is that we need to add language that specifies consecutive days or is this total days? >> Should we decide it was consecutive? Okay, it does not say consecutive. >> So eight consecutive >> and I assume

012it needs to be school days. I mean that doesn't right. Yes. I think that's >> Do we want to say school days? >> Yeah. >> Executive school. Yeah. >> Okay. >> Is that correct? Like >> no, that's not any additional language. That's the standard language. >> Yeah. >> No, it's homeless. >> Yeah. >> Fast to All right. Then we've got policy 5314 substitutes. There is um in the last sentence of the policy is trucking out. >> This is to realign us with the CDA. >> Yeah. >> And no questions on 8110. >> Just that one changing consecutive school days. No, that was 8100. >> Yeah, >> we kind of bounced 8110. So I if you guys took >> Mhm. >> That's why Yeah. No, it's Yeah. No, there's nothing in there about days. This one

013more one more of the reasons that this transportation wherever test. Okay, that's good. There. That's just reading. >> Yep. >> All right. >> Good. There you are. Hi. Uh, Mr. Nor can chime in if if he sees fit. Here we've got an addition of one middle school uh football coach. Um what's his name? >> No. >> Sorry. >> King, but I think we're first asking. >> You have to have the position before you can hire the coach. adding a another middle school football position at 197 >> and that's even >> we've we've always had three middle school football coaches. >> It's just never been written in >> for years. The CVA the numbers in the CBA were used as >> they are still used as norm. Y >> one additional middle school football coach motion

014>> suggested. Is there a second? >> Second from Katie. Any discussion? Any discussion? All those in favor say I. All those opposum member full or custodian and then we have a coaches and volunteers list attached. We also have a late edition um Margaret Cummings uh KitchenAid pending background check and we're at we're doing this pending a background check. I know I you know we've talked about we want to kind of move away from doing this but the state background checks are taking three to four weeks to get done. So we want to be able to pull the trigger as soon as that background check comes back positively. Did you Hold on. Did we interview Margaret? >> Yes. >> May I ask it was on the interview committee? >> It was me. Um Steve Rhonda gave

015her input um prior to the interview because she was unable to make it and I think it was JF. >> Yeah. >> And everybody wasn't agreeing >> recommendation from the group. >> Well, we Yeah. I mean, we went to Rhonda and said, "What do you think?" >> I mean, it's not like people are beating down the doors to be KitchenAid. >> Okay. >> Unfortunately, >> so earning is added to the list right now. >> Yes. >> Okay. I make a motion to approve the list as is in addition to Margaret and background check. Motion from Jessica. Have a second. >> Is that just the >> custodian? >> Um, no. It's the attached ID list as well, >> I'm assuming. >> Yes. >> Yep. >> Second. Okay. Any discussion? >> Any discussion? >> And there's no

016list that I have. >> Yep. All those in favor say I. >> I. >> All the pose the same sign. >> Motion carries. >> I included the transportation committee u meeting minutes. Um I thought so I'm on a um group now of other new SBOs's and somebody said that this is what they put into their packet and I was like oh well that's kind of nice. >> Yeah. So that you don't have to try and remember what it is that you discussed like weeks ago. So >> great. >> Yeah. It was actually great. Good. Thank you. >> Okay. Yeah. >> And I always take minutes and I was like, well, I I just keep filing them and wondering like what am I supposed to do with these? So, it's nice that I can include them

017for you guys. So, I don't know. Um, sorry, Katie. I kind of budded in there, but No other no other committees have met. Yeah. >> Yeah. But do you want me to go over more? >> It's up to you. >> Yeah. You really want to scroll over, but I think administrator. >> I've got mukes first. I don't know. But to your point, you know, the trans >> I haven't um >> I haven't started that. Where? Um so would you want it posted prior to the meeting then? the more but bare minimum I would say when you're going to post minutes maybe you can post everything >> oh so when I post the signed minutes then I would post the full packet >> yeah okay >> I necessarily don't we have it beforehand you know the

018agenda great include packet you know it's nothing that's PI information great but if It's not you don't travel like we found the last couple days was not given in advance >> right >> okay >> whatever is for you >> uh no I hadn't started doing that I um honestly didn't have felt like I'd gotten clear direction but I appreciate that and so I'll um >> I'll do it >> Yeah. >> Well, post it. Go. Yeah. >> Yeah. So, there'll be some things that I'll pull out like the employee um leave of absence and and they'll So, there will be some things that will just be the action item, just the agenda item. So, >> it it won't have Yeah, it won't have backup information or whatever. So, okay. So Sean and I will talk about

019where we'll put that. >> It's easy. It's just a PDF. It's like >> Yeah, >> of course. Yeah. >> Identification. I think that >> bus 5 you'd see it's showing up gremlins again of having the non-stop electric glitch. She thinks it's history. >> Well, this is a new one. That takes two hours to take the wires and there's like five million wires that go to nowhere and then you try to make sure you're on the right one as I know. It doesn't have interior dome back lights. It has the front light in the cab, but nothing not early in the morning, dark in the morning. really about that, but yeah, it's confusing. Anyway, um activity bus three, the black one coming back from W point last week they they built a cap on the radiator

020corroed off and nothing to tie in got them all. I've already fixed already. So, and the big news is our van is here. >> I did not bring it. >> It went out today. >> It was out today.

It has So, you guys have to come check it out because I wish I should have probably brought it, but it's it has lots of room in it. It is roomy and it drives like a little car. Um, Mrs. wife was really nervous on taking it. So,

021we went last night went on a test drive and she was like, she goes, "It drives just like my little car." I said, "Yeah, it does not drive like a big vehicle. It kind of floats down the road. It goes >> She drove it today with 13 kids." So >> JJ got me saying the techno from Montana. >> So anyway, that's good news. And it's it's not it only has 16,000 miles now.

As of Monday afternoon, I'm here at Whitmore has volunteered to install our baseboard over the Thanksgiving. So, that was happy news. >> That's still six, seven weeks away. It's better than what

024projected came from ours which was Christmas. Oh, >> okay. They are backing it so far. Okay. >> That and and the reason they wanted to pull out was >> in order to get it installed correctly, they would need to bring in weights and make sure it cured. So, making sure that they had plenty of time to get it voluntary. >> Any other questions on my report? Have you heard that already? I was trying to >> I don't know. It's okay. We were both trying to >> for the base for heard back time. Sorry. >> It's okay. I'll repeat. No, it's as of Monday afternoon. Garrett has said that he will take care of it.

We do. >> Okay. >> Those are kind of a higher priority. I just like Yeah, I guess we don't have a priority list, but we have a list. >> I would hope there are hierarchies. >> Okay, >> I just know it's just been an issue across that's we have one completely working. We have one that works to drink out of. We have one. Yeah, >> so bottle filler. >> This the one by the office. This the one down one. Just the water park. Okay. >> What I'm what I'm assuming from that is that especially in the mornings when we're running it, we're filling

026the hundreds of bottles for 10 minutes. The children's not going to be able to Your body absorbs warm water better than cold water. instead. Thank you. >> I think I may have given you guys incomplete activity report. So, I'm just going to pass these around. Take what you don't have. >> They're two pages. I didn't realize it. >> Sorry about that, Mr. Norby. I was like, why does it have all these extras? >> Yeah. >> Oh, you made copies, too. >> Well, we killed a tree here. I don't know. >> I know. >> Well, no. This goes back to Heather. >> You're good. >> Beauty, right? Heather, >> I know. I'm sorry, y'all. See everybody now report going over a recap of the last where I think high school football's six mill record right now.

027High school volleyball sitting at five and two in conference play. High school cross country is a qualified six runners for state. Five girls and one boy. Uh, speech and drama has just started. There's three participants in that. And we had middle school wrestling signups on Monday. There's 30 middle school wrestlers in grades fifth through 8th, 24 boys, six girls. We got breakdown of how many each grade. The high school wrestling mat uh that was purchased last end of last year, I believe, is finally coming this weekend or on Friday. for delay some oil. I don't know >> because I think like three or four months. >> Well, they told us uh they originally told us October and then they told me that it was take probably eight weeks and then it never showed up and

028we showed up and it followed up after a while and they said, "Oh yeah, it's going to be your 1010." So, I don't know if it's sitting in the warehouse. It was telling if they just printed it out right now or what, but they're just going to be here before wrestling season, which is really what matters or what we'll use for when it comes to turn. So, impact testing for fifth graders will be tomorrow. middle school basketball signups next Monday for seventh and eighth graders just to get a good idea of how many you have coming up. So >> best question there. If our seventh and eighth grade numbers are low, do we get to full sixth graders and then not do fifth and sixth grade jam? Is that what we call? I'm just asking.

029I don't know if that's an option or >> do other schools have sixth graders on their eighth grade teams that we play. >> Yep. Sco does it. A lot of smaller schools in the area do it. Maybe we don't play against a lot of smaller schools in the area do do that. >> Guess I wouldn't say it's off the table, but I'd rather see meetings to guess come up with that. >> Right. >> Yeah. Because I mean if if I've been hearing that boys numbers are we can combine a team and we can combine eight and seventh grade. It's not a lot of different you know it's not >> doesn't just have to be eighth graders but just >> Right. Okay. Exactly. Yeah. In fact overall as a district this year everybody's kind of moved

030to an A team and a B team. Um we have not so far in our sport that we've had with volleyball kind of split it up evenly. you see that record one team's doing better than the other but so it is an option but I guess you know pretty >> okay >> uh you got upcoming events here at the football senior night against Shelby on the 17 high school GD football game it's going to be scheduled for next Monday was We were just supposed to be this Monday. That would be I don't know. I guess an error on my part. Maybe with Glasco, but I guess I'll take somebody else. We weren't on the same same page on that one. They had us playing there on the 20th. We're playing third. So, we worked together

031on that coming up with a date that worked for both of us. So, nobody lost out on competitions there, which is a big thing. High school volleyball. Only change there. see off. They're back at 3 p.m. at West Newton at 400 pm for their homecoming parade. Then they switched their homecoming parade the day before. So then they went back to 3 p.m. So back and forth a little bit. Um on this next page, we got state cross country Missoula for cross country. Um the 25th and that should be a one of the coolest races actually in the state or coolest meets in the state. I think all class wrestling. Dominic Dillings is really really cool, but what rivals it really closely. It's just a massive amount of people there. It's very positive crowd, supportive crowd.

032It's pretty cool to see. So, if you guys ever find yourself coming Missoula, when we go to the cross country, state cross country meet, this will be my third one. Um, it's pretty good time. that middle school football season wrapping up. They have play their last game on the 11th. Middle school volleyball wrapping up, district tournament in Harlem on the 11th as well. Uh wrestling starting on Monday, a wrestling duel on the 25th. And then if you see, I guess it should be three days. the message about the school basketball schedule, but it is posted on the school website. >> Oh, that's what it is. Thanks. The whole schedule. >> Yeah, that is what it is. It's just the October. But if you want to look at the whole schedule, it is posted on the

033website. It was also posted on Facebook. This one's been restructured like three times as well. different opinions and reasons that that's happened. But now we're looking at a boys and girls season running at the same time where they're headed to the same gym. Not so many teams at once one gym at a time, moving away from the jamboree format or to like a a triangular three teams playing at once. >> So only certain towns can host that, right? You have to have enough gyms. Well, I think I think most most gyms have the opportunity to go to split court outside. That's what we'll do. The high school other schools wanted to do what the high school gym, big gym, one of the small or something. I think Carl will pass that they can do that.

034So, yeah, that's the bus will drop kids off at the one drive to the other. That would be how I would work if you if it was not the same distance from each other. Yeah, but it it is nice because you'll keep boys on one court and girls on one court. So coaches aren't having to in the past on jam breeze. It's been one g one gender. So we'll have like an eighth grade court, seventh grade court two coaches that can have split the coaches up. Um so this is nice where they can actually be together out on some stuff. So >> great. Great. >> Any other questions? >> Remind me we have or you have all of the coaching positions filled >> every coaching position except for assistant speech. >> And then looking further

035out boys basketball is that >> that's on your guys's list. >> Okay. when and looking with the amount of middle school wrestling to sign up. So 30 wrestlers you got yesterday have two coaches and now one volunteers of tonight. >> Do you think that's going to be enough? I suppose we're going to make it work but that's a lot of money. There's I mean I guess I wouldn't be totally opposed to a fourth volunteer if there was somebody that your aggressive coaches had in mind as well, but it could be needed. But I guess it would be nice because sometimes you split up uh you know there could be four matches going on at once prevents the coach from having to coach the kids at once from split splitting the mat up. Um I don't

036know. I guess if if they say something about it, we'll get to it, I suppose. was just curious like you know because I know you wrestling as well that's a lot of wrestlers middle school check so just curious your thoughts you were actively thinking that was going to be a lot maybe thinking of trying to find another volunteer or you're >> need coach is the most rest because you I would give you guys a a rundown from the year prior and I can't miss that I probably dug out or dug a little bit more looked into that. I would guess that it's probably similar, but now you're seeing high school or sorry, middle school boys basketball pulling away those numbers a little bit because those seasons are going on at the same time now. >>

037So I it's probably around the same. I don't know for sure though. Have to look into it. >> That's okay. very just curious the number. Does this include managers? >> No, it doesn't. There's three screeners. >> Okay. Just one or two. Yeah. Thank you. Let me know when you're ready. >> All right. So, everybody had my report. I would like to add one thing on there that's not on there, and that is um the advanced opportunities grant that we are currently working on. Um this was in the past this has been a grant that's been offered through the state but it was competitive in nature not so much competitive as it was timed um when it was originally made or offered you had to be one of the first schools to get it submitted in

038there and once they once the money was gone it was gone. Um, and that happened before I think I even became principal and certainly before I knew anything about the advanced opportunities grant and then that money was spent every year by the schools that were already in it unless the school dropped out and then there was a waiting list of school in u but during the stars act they did change that and now the grant will be funded fully. Uh there's formulas to determine how much you'd be eligible to receive as a school and so now you just need to turn it in and have it be accepted and then there's this funding available for you. Um, and the funding that we would get is based off of our quality educator payment. Um, and this

039is something that we're not sure about yet if it's going to use the base quality educator payment or if it's going to use the doubled quality educator payment because that's what STARS Act did to help raise the salaries. So, how much we get would depend upon which of those two they're using as their base points. But either way, um it's an it's a grant that would allow us it the whole the main purpose of this grant is to get money give money to schools to offset out-ofpocket costs for students um who are wanting to take any sort of like individualized um dual credit type career applicable jobs or courses, anything along those lines. So anything taking dual credit classes, trying to do an internship. They even include the term passion project on there. And so

040there's a lot of loose that's very vague in terms of what you could spend it on, but it has but it has to be going towards eliminating or reducing costs for students. So you can't really use it to pay for equipment unless there's a new offering that you're you're putting in place. Um, it's all my point is that I'll be getting this I'll be emailing the draft this to you here before the next board meeting. It does have to be approved by the board in order for us to apply for it. The window opens to apply I believe like December 1st and so we want to get this approved in the November board meeting so we have it ready to go and get that process going in December the 1st. Not that it's a race,

041but I would just like to have that done and not far as so just be looking for that. when the time comes, I'll send it to you and give some explanations of what's going on and then we'll be looking to have it as an agenda item for next board meeting. >> Um, anything else on my report any questions on? >> I don't know. >> Makes me feel better. I don't know how many vol players we have either. I know that we had a good we had a good showing at the at the district and so I the exact number I don't >> what's that >> uh >> yeah kind of yes but I don't remember all the sorry I don't remember all the conversations I That's true. >> She said she was very pleased with

042how our team did at districts. >> I think it is very neat how well she's doing. >> She's doing very well and I've >> Yeah, I have as well I have heard very positive things as well. She has communicated things to me, but I guess I don't write it down when she tell me so I can remember all the details. But I do know she said she was very pleased and she was very pumped when she came back from the last one that she was very pleased with how kids did and she has really good performances by some of the younger kids that she wasn't necessarily expecting. Um I did sit in a couple weeks ago and watch as they were doing a I mean you're going to make fun of me forology. >> She

043she was doing Yeah. Thanks. they were doing some activities in class talking about strategies for when they are doing livestock judging um different like she was giving them tips and pointers of what to do in case this isn't available or in case the judge is looking for this and um it was really quite interesting because while it didn't necessarily make a lot of sense to me I got the gist of what she was saying but the fact that she was very fluently speaking a foreign language to me and the kids were very fluently understanding that a foreign language was very impressive Um, it was it was a lot of fun watching them because they seemed to know what they were talking about and being pretty jacked about it, which was good to see. That's something

044that we've I mean, clearly we've been missing that. And so, it's nice to have that as part of our daily classes. >> Cool. The public speaking that she was quite nominal. She has renewed that. >> Yeah. >> And that's where some of our things have really excelled in their in their uh reasons. See, I got that term down here. Right. Yeah. Justin, do you know that one? >> See, there we go. We're in the same boat there. >> Okay. Next question. >> So, every I feel like we ask this every year about the Independence Bank donation. just with a good split between all three schools once I mean this I read this is what you tell them we did with it >> did the middle school and the elementary do anything with it >> I

045don't know what they do with it did you guys do you get any of these funds to do things okay what did you guys use your fund for >> so we have not yet spent >> working on a project >> your portion Okay. And then Marty's not here, but >> yeah. So, for like the last couple years when the middle school principal has kind of been shared by the superintendent, it's kind of been done as one being up here like they're sh like it's kind of split the money. Well, I would say the last couple years the money was split in half between this building and that building. Now that we have a full-time, someone who's assigned to be the middle school principal and the capacity that they're in and has some ideas of things

046I like to do. This year, we're looking at split. We did split it three ways. It all goes into the same fund, but we know how much of it is who's and what. So, this year would be about $3,000 a piece. >> Great. >> On top of what was left from last year and what was their share from last year. And so, >> thank you very much. >> Any other questions? I know it's this eliminations you would have because of tax credit. Yeah. >> You said maybe you'll write up a summary of it just because you haven't really nobody's decided where it'll go yet or do you have an idea? >> I just haven't done it yet and plus I'm going to write up the summary. I want to kind of get it out to

047the public and put it in the newspaper and things like that or put it on social media a bit closer to the end of the year so it's fresher in people's minds when the new year comes about when we can receive new donations once January hits. and they haven't even released the date in January when it's going to be the date to submit that. Um, so I kind of want to have all that information in there at one time when we do it to help promote it. So hopefully that number continues to grow. The people who have donated have seemed very positive and very happy that that opportunity is there for them. Um, so it's going to be hopefully continue to grow. Literally this last time the $84,000 it I the one I had to

048submit this time it submitted in the this time stamp on it was like one minute and 3 seconds after the window opened and when I hit the print but when I hit the submit and I went back to the dashboard to see how much was left it was gone. It was it was literally all gone. >> Money that was from before. Right. >> It was the original money and it was people who had validated um donations. Yeah. like something about like if they enter the same donation twice or something like that. So between January and September, they find all the invalid one and then that opens the door for more submission. >> Like in bigger districts, you have people you have a you know many many people who are submitting to get it in there

049on time. So you might have someone submit twice. You might have someone submit things on accident, wrong numbers, add an extra zero onto something or in some cases a donation maybe goes away after it was submitted and so then you have to invalidate that one. And so there's a I mean I don't all the reasons why but yeah so next year it should increase by another 10%. So this last year was 6 million should be 6.6. So >> do you have is it just you? >> No, last time it was the three of us. We uh We developed a nice cheat code for not a cheat code, but a way to kind of >> remove some of the error. Yeah. >> So, uh, >> yeah, it's worked so well. We haven't been denied, but I'd

050love to have enough donations that we get denied. Any other questions? >> Yeah. >> There you go. Nice. All right. Thanks. There's something that I'd like to add real quick to my report. I forgot. I think it is important. Totally spaced it, but we got a a Sunday basketball game, college basketball game the 26 played in our gym. It's an exhibition game. MSUB versus MSU Northern. Um it's kind of back to local community girls. It's a girls basketball game for we have players that are going on and playing uh college basketball for these schools. or community. You know, there's some girls in the community that are playing ranked this team. So, that's that's going to be really cool. That'll be at 2 o'clock on Sunday the 26th. The day before, there will be a camp

051free of charge put on by MSUB in the old gym. And that's going to be grades K through B. That'll start at 2:30 and it'll end at 6 PM. And I'm still waiting for details on that. I think they're going to split it up at best grade levels. So, I don't know if it's going to be 2:30 to 6 p.m. the whole time. and it's K through eight, but just something to >> certification. >> Yeah. And I'll I'll put out a Facebook announcement as well, probably Monday, the latest, I would imagine. >> So, this is October 25th and 26th. Will there be forms coming home that would be taken out at school? Do you know? >> I don't know that detail those details yet. um MSB was going to reach out with, you know, they

052said they want wanted us to spread the word. It's free of charge. It's not just for multiple students. It's for all students in the area. So, Whitewater State dos and all all their students. Um it's a good opportunity to learn some basketball from some of the college athletes. >> Yeah, great job. That's exciting. Did you reach out to them or they reach out to you or >> they reached out to me. >> Okay. >> Really awesome for them to do. Bobby can kind of um was the driver for it and they in and Northern does it >> quite often. It's not unusual for Northern to do this and students hometown. It's just something cool that we do. >> Great. >> Yep. And then Steve So, um I wanted to let you guys know that I

053discovered that we had um REAp grant funds from 2023 and 2024 that weren't distributed. Um $12,7728 undistributed from 2023. So, I did request and receive those funds already. And I'm kind of kicking myself that I just didn't request everything all at once with everything that's going on now. But um I do I am going to go ahead and request the rest of 2024 cuz in the back of my mind I was like, "Oh, this might be a nice little, you know, nest egg we can put away." But um it all comes into 215, which is a, you know, non-budgeted fund. So, I can stash it away anyway. Um, so I'm going to request uh we have $9,674 from 2024 and then this year um our reap is 4,33. So, we've kind of seen that have

054almost every year. And that's just again based on a formula. It's not like we apply for it. I mean, obviously I have to apply for it, but they just tell you what you get. they there's nothing where I request X dollars. Um so anyway, I am going to go ahead and put in the request for all of the funds that are due to us and cross our fingers that they actually come. Um we did receive the insurance payment for the gym floor mitigation um with our $2,500 deductible taken out. Um we also released employee access. So this is the the portal on uh Tyler our Tyler software. So employees can now um look at their W2s for the last three years. They can look at their leave balances. They can um and they can if

055they have direct deposit, they can see all of their payubs. Um so and I released payubs for two years I think. Um and then of course this year as they post. So this is a big >> step for us. >> I know. And so we did I did also at the same time put out um a request for electronic W2. So in the state of Montana you have to make it an option um to be electronic or they can still request to have a paper copy. And I'm about 50/50 right now. So, there's a lot of people who still want those paper copies, but there have been a lot of people who said that they'll just get it electronically, which just means less work for um Jana really um stuffing all of those envelopes. So,

056um it's easy to set up in the system and um we will not be printing out um direct deposit payubs anymore. So, that is one thing that's completely going away. everybody has access to their direct deposit payubs on um employee access. So, and then we do have the $25. So, as a gift, what happens is is that we belong to a certain pecard program and we get a rebate every year. And so um as a Jane used to go and buy some gifts sometimes I guess for a long time. The last couple of years as a gift um we did a $25 employee um benefit at Prairie Northern Design or Northern Prairie Designs and um the deadline for that is 10:10. So if you haven't gotten in and taken advantage I did send out another

057flyer to all the employees just reminding them about it. Um, so we'll see how many people take advantage. I I think if not if I find that not that many people have taken advantage of it, I might go back to doing something different next year. after. Oh dear. >> Um so that's something that uh I've been you know this is just going in the background essentially. Um, we also have, so I think I told you guys that the auditors when um, we were talking with them about the audit for this year, they were a little upset that we're still using three different systems at the elementary school and the district and the high school. And so what I committed to doing was getting, and Melissa Dunar, bless her heart, committed to doing was getting the

058elementary school transferred into Tyler this year. and that will kind of pave the way. And then next year I'll I'll do the high school and the middle school because it's gonna it takes a lot of training and I have to do that training. Um but Melissa and I have successfully transferred all of the elementary school accounts over into Tyler and um she's we have a process in place and we're going to um complete our training. The last thing we have to train on is recon reconciliation. So um reconciling in the system. She's going to bring over her bank statements next week and we we'll get that finished up. But, uh, she's caught on very quickly and it's going to make it really nice for me for the audit and her because she's not going to

059have to pull anything. I can just pull it all out of the system. So, it's going to be nice. >> Uh, and then Janna did so funnily, we have never been signed up for Amazon business. Um, and so Jana did sign up for Amazon Business. And again, this is a little bit forward thinking. We're going to try Amazon Business. We're going to see what we think of it. We're going to see, she's going to keep kind of comparing prices to see if we're getting if it's cheaper for us to get it on Amazon business. And then potentially what can happen with the cloud um with Tyler is that we would have a punch out which I don't know if any of you are familiar with what a punchout is. So a punch out is like

060your online store in the system. So the teachers would be able to go in and enter their order into Tyler directly and then it goes through an approval process um within the system and then it automatically goes to Amazon and gets filled and they invoice us. So um again this is like we're just making the first kind of baby steps and seeing what we think and if we don't like it we can always go backwards. Um, but it's an opportunity for us to kind of keep pushing forward on these small modernization things. So, >> yeah. >> All right. Uh, and then the financial reports, um, how you like the cool little graphic. Yeah. Yeah. Um, that actually comes out of the cloud, the Tyler, um, cloud system. So, it's actually pretty nice. I like to

061look at it, too. it just it's a nice little snapshot of um everything. So, and then I do want to um just call to your attention and I was over talking with Lorraine and an about this as well. We have dropped into the negative on the general fund and that will continue probably through October. It's not going to get out of control or be as big as it was last year. You know, we're really trying to be as conservative as possible. Um, but then that'll all get wiped out when we have our November taxes come in. Um, so other than that, you guys have any other questions about the financials, any of the reports that I sent over? [Laughter] >> No. Yep. >> Go ahead. I guess >> it's your turn, Steve. >> Um, so

062we had our our administrative report. Uh, I think one of the big topics that's going to be coming out of that, um, I'm kind of tasking our administrators to help, uh, find individuals for our planning of our strategic plan, which means I also need a board member. Hey, board member, please. Um, but, uh, I I did get a couple community members from Mr. do it, but we need to get some teachers and other community members involved and and start putting the work and then choose uh which goals and objectives we want to tackle first. So, >> you're creating strategic planning committee. >> Yeah. Uh with toing with Mr. Huitt, um I like what I see there. I think we were both happy to hear our students out there have shown some uh gains. So, that's

063good news. like that. Um, our idea report or uh, sorry, our IDA grant has been was sent back to us for a little bit more detail. We since submitted that back and it has already been approved. So, that's good. That was >> So, that's everything. Yep. Title one and IDA are done. >> Yep. Finally. >> Yeah. >> And we've put in our first requests. So, that money will be starting to come in. I visited well a few of us visited with u uh Niles Greer uh on the bus barn easement um and he is going to start working on that process right now create that easement um and I did uh call Mr. Henderson and let him know that we're doing that. So, >> you did or did >> I did? >> Yep. >> I

064will be visiting with uh Tanner Kelly uh tomorrow afternoon to look over at the the popcorn stand. Um they had uh asked about enclosing that. Um there's going to be doors on each end. Uh they did want to have a door on the street level. Um, and I I'm I'm not on board with that part just because it's going to be one more thing that we have to police someone coming and going that shouldn't be coming and going. So, uh, but we'll I'll be visiting with him tomorrow afternoon. the uh just to to I mean you guys already know this bringing back to the forefront the concerns about the electrical and the plumbing um things that that Garrett and I visited with a couple Fridays ago just a lot of cords but we really are

065kind of we can't really do much about that at the elementary it's it is what it is until we have some direction which um we did reach out to McKinstry to do kind of a cost anal analysis. I think that's what they called it. >> Uh they have not been able to complete that yet, but as soon as they have that information, we'll we'll be having more meetings on this topic. Gym floor, um which is an agenda item. Um so I won't go a lot into that. We did a long drawing out process, if you will. Um Mr. Ble did visit with one of the floor guys, her usual floor guy. Um, so he will be giving us a bid on on some repairs and and finishing the floor. Uh, okay. So, the multi- district

066agreement with the East Smolt County is in is really kind of in limbo. There are seven students out there. Um, I did talk with Darlene who we kind of called OPI. So I got a a kind of a a a thought from this Nicole Thuat from OPI. Basically uh as far as that multi-dist agreement, I mean it doesn't we we can decide what we do do with that money if we want. Um basically her recommendation or thought behind it is we can basically end those students dates as of last year. then nobody gets the the uh A&B money. So, there's that. So, I want to talk with her one more time on that. Um because we're not paying them anything at this moment. Uh Blaine County School District is not paying them at this moment.

067So, they're just kind of existing. Um so, there's going to be some uh more conversations on that in the next few days here. Uh let's see, superintendent review. So, I went to my superintendent meeting that I go to every month. Um, just couple quick things. Um, OPI is now sending out a representative to all the superintendent sites. Mr. Bleth, are they going to your principal sites too or not? >> Not aware. We only have one meeting. They have Okay. So, they're they're sending OPI people out to us, I think, to kind of bridge the the frustration that many superintendents were having. Um there was a House Bill 745 that she kind of talked about a little bit that's about background checks for work studies. Um so basically the question was do we have to have

068these other other companies have a background check on our students? The recommendation is no we do not have to do that but in true OPI fashion they said it might be a good idea. So it was really no answer. Um, they also did say that OPI's website looks like it will be changing as of January. So, there's that. Uh, we also had uh Mike Perry from the U of M University of Montana uh just to kind of go over a few things that are free to school districts, schools um safe schools, uh CPI, MTDA, I'm not sure what that is, but there's a Frontier Lab. It's an AI lab that schools can use for professional development on AI. Uh there's Ed Ready. Uh the Mansfield Center as kind of some civics education that they can

069offer. The one thing that he really hit on was Monte. Has anybody heard of that before? Have you heard of Monte before? Um, Montek basically has all these devices that people can rent. And he was talking about uh a device that his mom had, this Mike Perry's mom, because her vision was >> for disabilities. >> Yeah. For disabilities. >> Oh, yeah. >> So, so she has this big contraption that he put in the back of his truck and brought it home because she likes to do cooking and can't read her recipes. So, it's like this big thing and it blows it up so she can see her recipes. But he said it was like this amazing piece of equipment that that they could just use and would never. So, just a couple of things that

070that are are free for districts. Um, I would like to remind you guys about the complaint process. So if you're hearing complaints, make sure that that is directed to me so that we can make sure that people are following 1700's complaint uh appropriately. So if you're getting things, direct them to me first thing. So um and then I just kind of mentioned a little bit about Mckinstry. They're still working on their their numbers for the elementary products. >> Did they give you a timeline? >> Well, originally the timeline was going to be today, but don't get that. So soon they get >> hopefully soon. So I'll keep pressuring on them and make sure we get some answers. So >> and you have more information on that Monte >> just just that you can go to

071the Yeah. Yeah. That you can go to the I think University of Montana site and it's on there somewhere. So he didn't tell me specifically what it was but yes. >> Any questions? No. >> Thank you. CDL reimbursement MOA. >> Um, so I don't know if you guys got the the original um agenda item page on there, but but the uh actual memorandum is listed there. Basically, this is a conversation that the transportation committee has had about kind of incentivizing people to become drivers. Um, there is a reimbursement up to $1,500 um for people that would get their CDL with a 2-year agreement of service with the district. So, I don't know if transportation folks have more they want to add to that, but this is the memorandum of understanding with the unions. I do

072think that Kyle, you said you wanted to make a change to thisou as it stands to um have it be an employee or individual because the way it reads now, the incentive is just for employees. So, current employees. >> Um, and Kyle was mentioning that he felt like it should be opened up to like everyone, >> but they have to work for us to do this. They have to be an employee. They have to sign a contract in order. >> Yeah, I was going to say so like Yeah, that's that was >> right. So, it's that would be exactly right. So you would >> they'd be even if they have previously they will be signing the contract when they sign this to be an employee in order to get >> right. Yeah. >> Yes. But

073the way that the umou reads right now is the person has to be an employee before they can get the um benefit to go drive a bus. I can't I wouldn't be able to get it. >> Wouldn't be able to get it. >> Well, but you would become an employee of multiple schools. You say, "Hey, I got my CDL. Do you want to hire me?" And then once you become an employee, then you are eligible for this reimbur for the reimbursement. >> Yeah. You sign a contract with us, >> you automatically become an employee. You don't get the reimbursement unless you are an employee because you have to sign it to your services. So, you don't have to be a previous one. It's just you just finally you because he can get a CDL 3

074months in advance before he even signs up to work for us and signs that contract and then we can still reimburse it. Correct. >> Mhm. >> The way this is wrote. >> Yes. The way that it's written. >> I think maybe the part is in the first bullet under two. It says an employee receiving the reimbursement must sign into your contract. Which does imply that they are an employee before they sign their contract. Right. Well, agreeing that >> I think we all know the intent here, right? For sure. >> Well, I and this language did come from the from the Montana Union um rep. Christine, she's the one who um helped me draft it. So >> what would happen is like this I'm assuming school board aside if I if I went and met my

075CDL and then they said okay I'm able to drive bus I would first need approved to be approved by the board as a bus driver then I'm an employee and then I'm eligible for this is that >> right I think the question becomes how do we market this as an incentive to the public right like go get your CDL and we'll will hire you and then we'll reimburse you $1,500 for the CDL. Like, it has to be it would have to be in exchange for a two-year commitment. Yeah. >> Transportation talked about I think we're talking about they're basically became an employee and giving that two-year commitment before leaving CDRO because we're basically saying, well, if you're going to be a driver for us and sign a commitment, we'll pay to have your get your

076CDO. I think that's the point that I'm thinking of female for what he's trying to explain, but >> I don't I don't think we're going to pay forward. We're going to reimburse. Do you know what I'm saying? So, we're not going to >> guarantee of employment. There's no reason to pay for >> Well, that's there's a two-year agreement, >> right? >> Yeah. >> Once they're employed and then the reimbursement is there >> and then they have to go give him their CD. So, also, how far back do we pay? If he's like, there's some guy he's like, six years ago, I got my CDL. I'm going to come drag for you. I want my money back. You know, like, does that make sense? Yeah. You know, if they're getting their CDL just to drive for

077us, that's where we're paid. And another point, >> and I think that it says that the school district may offer. So, first of all, may offer, not will offer up to $1,500 to an employee who obtains a CDL with school bus endorsements for the purpose of serving as a bus driver. Yeah. >> So, that's how does it normally cost? This is pretty close >> to full paying. >> Yeah. It could be more. >> It could be more. It could be less. >> But that's why it's reimbursement only. So if we spend a thousand, we only pay it. >> Yeah. >> Can't make money on this, >> right? Yeah. Exactly. Okay. So, an employee that has been working for us for a year, they want reimburse. They have to sign this 2-year contract. >> And the

078time she's put in from that point on. >> Exactly. Okay. Yeah, it's just exactly like what we did with Katie Smith, right? Reimbursing her the agreement to reimburse her for um the endorsement and that's a five-year >> because it's considerably more money. So, when she when we sign that agreement, she's basically saying, "I'm going to work for you." It's not a contract. We're not giving them a contract. The contract happens every year. It's an agreement between that individual and the school district. >> Yes. And if she doesn't, then there's the payment. There's a repayment schedule. >> Mhm. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> So, I I mean, I don't know. I'm still like I think that they have to be an employee before. So we we hire them and then they embrace so they can drive

079>> or they go or they get it and we hire them. >> Um not that I planning on it, but there's no language about termination. So, if it's school's decision to terminate for whatever reason, >> well, there's no language in the other one either. >> And I mean, I'm just thinking about the winners. >> I would say they wouldn't they won't have completed their two-year commitment and so they would have to repay us back. >> Yeah. All it does say is if the employee fails, it doesn't say if the employee chooses to leave. It just says fail to complete. So fulfill yet. >> No, I don't think we need to because the >> I think the language covers it. >> The two-year whether that's through them their fault or you know whatever. >> If they

080leave voluntarily or involuntarily, they still have to pay us back. Okay. >> Yeah. So, what we have to do is we have to say that um approve the MOA and then we'll take it to the union. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Motion to approve current >> orou sorry. >> Okay. I make a motion to approve. >> Jessica, do I have a second? Katie on any disc. Any disc. All those in favor say I. All those opposed same sign. A >> so attached is all the um work done to dry out our gym floor. our water issue application. So it was 687146 >> and so our insurance has paid that >> less the $2,500 deductible. So >> when the drain pipe Yeah. >> Yeah. They did a discount. Yes, >> right. >> Yeah. Absolutely. >> We

081could we could submit those to the insurance company. I wonder >> I was going to say threeear average. [Laughter] >> Yeah, it's true. advocate. She's good advocate. >> So, are we just >> So, the reason that you have to approve it is because it's over his spending limit, right? >> 68,000 even though it got reimbured. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Angel second. Any discussion? Any discussion? All those in favor say I. All those opposed same sign. >> Next item is the 526 student attendance agreements. This is from Dodson. You have a list of students approval >> discussion. I'll make a motion to move the out of this district. Motion from Angel. Second. >> Second. Yes. >> Sorry. These are just >> I think I counted. >> These are just ones that have been coming. >> These

082are the our students going to Dodson. >> Yeah. Yep. Any more discussion? bag or sand. All those opposed nine. >> Agenda item number eight, a student that needs um bus or a family that need an individual transportation. >> It's just because >> there's no room on the bus. transportation contract. >> Yeah. Do I have a second? >> Any discussion? Any discussion? >> No. Um because it it it's a recent move. It'll be from the time that the that um this student was um at that location. >> Yeah. today. >> No, it'll go back to Yeah, it's retroactive to the Y >> uh agenda item number nine is fuel cap. Uh this says there is no sale, but actually within the time this was sent out, we did get an offer for $50,000. Um, the gentleman

083that I spoke with, hey, I'm not selling anything right now. So, even new used, this is so this is what was offered for our machine, $50,000. >> We obsoleted it at 65. brand new engine >> that >> I wanted to say was in the 40s. >> I was going to say some something like 43 or 45 is something that's in my head. Yeah. >> So basically I'm looking for whether you want to entertain this this oper. If we don't entertain the offer, we be right back then. >> Yeah. As soon, you want me to bring it and sell it. >> They can't sell it. And they've had it for a year. So, I'm thinking our luck it's going to be >> trying to remember what we had. What did we already >> 65 >> and

084then I think we said we would go we would take 60 for it is what the direction was to the salesperson >> here's July like a month from July we listed the unit at 69,000 with a low take of 60 >> then later in the email on some landscaping guy said sold his machine that wasn't as clean as ours and didn't have a new engine and we sold it for 56,000 back in July. They're not selling anything right now. >> So yeah. >> Yeah. trade in value forwarded a new mission and it's had more around 40,000 but nobody wanted that value. Yeah, the new engine cost around 26,000. It's not costing us anything to sit there. So that's 50. But what do they take for commission? that >> I I would have to go back

085and look at the contract. >> They are also fixing >> brand new one from you guys. >> Yeah. Do you have >> They're not selling anything. >> Well, to your point though, Katie, I mean, it's not costing us anything for it to sit there. >> I mean, >> how desperate are we for money, Heather? >> We're actually very serious. I >> know. So, we're actually not that desperate. So, how does this do? I think we just give Mr. BS power to >> I think that you guys could make a motion to um give Mr. BS the power to negotiate within some parameters, right? So, if you say that you want to go no lower than 50 or whatever, right? Um, >> yeah. >> 55. >> No, you can 60 >> and then go down to
