001Okay, we're recording. >> I pledge algiance 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. [Music] >> Recognition of the visitors. Have signed in. >> Uh public comment. >> Uh we're recording. You're recording stupid >> mold school board of trustees notice of me meeting being recorded. This meeting of the school board of trustees committee of the board of trustees or committee of committee subject to the open meeting law is being recorded in accordance with sections 2-2-301 2-3-202-3-203 and 2-3-214 MCA. All members of the board, committee, staff, and public in attendance are advised of the public portions of the meeting will be recorded in both an audio and video format. Cameras and recording devices are placed throughout
002the meeting room to complete these recordings. Everyone in attendance is reminded to honor the basic rules of decorum during the meeting and guidance associated with providing public comment as stated in policy 1420F. By remaining in the meeting, those present consent to being recorded and displayed in the footage that we post will be posted on the school district's website. So, public input uh comments must be non-aggenda items related to topics under the jurisdiction of the multi school board. In essence of time tonight, I would like to ask that any public comment be kept 2 minutes or less so that the staff and board members could attend the wake of Derek Davis. Also, at this time, I would like to remind the public and our board that the public comment is a time that the board will
003listen, but we will not interact at this time. Thank you. And let's have a short and efficient meeting. Is there any public comment? >> Yeah, I do. So, I haven't done the public comment before, but I guess I am You won't say anything back to me. Is that what it is? I can't. >> Okay. >> Um, I just think it needs to be brought to everybody's attention. I know I have reached out to some of the schoolboard members. I have done an official letter to the county attorney as well as the sheriff's department. And if people aren't aware, I think it's really important that individuals are, especially here at the school, that there's an individual in the community posting pictures of pictures from the school with targets on some of my family members faces, my
004children have been posted. And I guess what I'm concerned and wanting information on from whoever eventually is like what safety measures are being put in place and is the school doing anything or saying anything to the sheriff's office? Are things being put in place to protect the kids? Um like I don't know different lockdown scenarios. I'm just concerned, very concerned as a parent of children in the elementary as well as junior high and high school and someone who comes to the games, comes to concerts and pictures are being targeted of community members. So, I think it should absolutely be taken seriously, not when something happens to one of our kids or one of our community members. Pray to God nothing happens like at a football game where it's something public like that out but I
005hope it's being taken very seriously. >> Thank you. >> Um I'm sorry your name >> Caitlyn Anderson. >> Thank you. >> I need to tell them I don't know. >> It's okay. >> It would be helpful if um before public comment if you just say your name and then say your piece. Okay. >> I think at this point the sheriff's office knows about it. >> Well, I know they know about it because there's multiple individuals that have submitted statements. [Music] >> There anybody else got public comment? [Music] Seeing none, we'll move on. Uh consent agenda. need. >> I make a motion to approve the consent agenda. >> Motion from Jessica. I have a second. >> Second from Angel. Is there any discussion? Any discussion? Hearing none. Uh all those in favor say I. >> I.
006I. >> All those opposed, same sign. >> Motion carries. Um [Music] That's committ. >> Yeah, committee reports. And any questions for our committees or all committees? No. Committee reports. Sorry. >> Reports. >> I don't have anything from personnel or curriculum. >> Finance hasn't met. >> Yes, finance hasn't met since June. And um building met Monday. And we just did a facilities walkthrough of um the elementary school and the middle school, high school, making some priority plans for um improvements and repairs and general maintenance. >> Okay. And then we met. I looked we just somebody here met. uh July 23rd, we met um on transportation and we just all the previous routes were approved at the county meeting >> and then we just we moved some drivers and with the information that was brought to us
007as far as who was on what routes, we it was we had only five kids in district on the on the one route and we ended up with 17 on the other. So, we had to switch. >> Mhm. >> So, [Music] okay. Uh administrative reports. We have any questions for anybody? >> The uh Hinden field trip is Friday, September 5th. >> Okay. >> Not this Friday. Wait a second. >> Okay, >> I actually do have a question about the the core three award. Can someone speak to that? >> Marty, she's not here. No, it's it really it was Marty's idea. She had a great idea this summer. >> Where did it come from? >> She had kind of the idea of doing something like that. >> Um I think she saw it somewhere. had an
008idea from somewhere and so she asked if we wanted to take part and we did. And >> is it something fully developed by us? Is core three a statement? >> Yeah. No, that's us. That's >> what's three the >> it's the you took the Yeah, we took the empowering learners inspiring learners mission statement. So the empowering, inspiring, and then excellence which is from the >> trip logo slogan that we've used in the past and ongoing and so it was those three. Do the kids nominate? >> The kids nominate. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> How often is it happening? >> Kind of as we get nominations. Well, we were figured kind of once a month, but we'll see how frequently. We get a lot of nominations for we might do it more frequently. >> It's not like
009a revolving thing. Everybody gets that. >> That No, that's a revolving trophy. It's actually It's like a championship belt. >> That's what I was thinking. Is it like how come nobody will wear it for a picture? Everyone's just holding it. Come on now. They're, you know, we'll get them loosened up. But anyone's eligible. It's not just teachers. It's anyone in the district. It could be subs, bus drivers, secretaries, kitchen custodian. It could be anybody. >> Cool. >> Very cool. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Yeah. Thank you. >> Hey, going back to transportation, there was one other thing. I was reading my notes. Can I go back really quick? >> Sure. We had discussed um two meetings ago and um that we were going to bring it to the board to start talking about reimbursing drivers
010to get their CDL our class drivers. >> And so I don't know where that needs to go. >> I think that needs to go too. >> It doesn't need to go to I mean I guess it should go to finance >> so that they can consider the financial implications. >> Okay. Um and then it would be brought to the board. >> Okay. Okay. Because that's what I had heard through Carter that one of our drivers um was kind of putting it off because of the cost. So um I know we have talked about it before. So I would like to start looking into that some incentives. >> Angel's got for next meeting. >> For next >> committee meeting. >> Are we allowed public comment pushing this? >> He'll ask. Yeah. >> Yep. That's the only
011thing on mine. That's >> all we got for administrative report. >> Yep. >> Moving on. Action item number one. MTA MTSBA ballot vote electronic. Heather. >> Um, yeah. So, essentially what I just need you to do is I need you guys I'll we can go through the ballot here and I'll mark what you guys want me to vote and then I'll um you'll in a motion you'll designate me as your delegate and that gives me the authority to go online and vote your vote on the MTSBA ballot. >> We're giving you the authority to do that for us. >> Okay. [Music] kind of like when Jake, you know, voted at MHFA, right? >> So, that's we just need a motion to do that. >> Um, but I need to know how you guys want to
012vote. >> But do we have to motion to approve you first or no? >> It can all be one. >> Okay. >> Yeah. So you would say the motion would essentially be make me the delegate and vote the ballot the way that um we uh designated in the meeting. So for number three, please indicate whether your school district supports or opposes the MT MTSBA principles and guidelines as presented. Approve this. Yeah, >> please indicate whether your school district supports or opposes the foundational elements of MTSBA's organizational DNA as presented. >> Approves uh 67. >> Approve. >> Please indicate whether your school district supports or opposes the fiscal year 27 dues revenue estimate. Note, you are not voting on your district's fiscal year 27 dues. Rather, this is the fiscal year 27 dues revenue estimate that
013is calculated pursuant to the member adopted MTSBA bylaws. >> Approves approve. >> Everybody good? Okay. Please indicate whether your school district supports or opposes the nomination of Rick Cummings as MTSBA president-elect. >> Approves. >> They're they're all unopposed, right? >> Yeah. Please indicate whether your school district supports or opposes the nomination of Jennifer Hoffman as MTSBA vice president. >> Approve. >> Okay. Um [Music] and then I'll insert the name of the board chair. >> Okay. I make a motion to um give Heather the authority to vote on our behalf with the recommendations we gave tonight. A >> second. >> Motion from Angel. Second from Jessica. Any discussion? >> Also, discussion means public input. Just >> for everyone knowing it's a good organization. [Music] >> Okay. So, hearing none, we'll vote. All those in favor say
014I. >> I. >> All those opposed, same sign. >> Motion carries. Action item number two, 2025 2026 student attendance agreements. >> So you have a list attached of the students malt students attending out of the district and out of district students attending Malta. We're looking for approval of the list. >> Yeah. Can I flip that? So, in the um third column there where it says agreement, this means that we've been sent an agreement by the um district of attendance. So, we're the district of residents, they're the district of attendance. And so, the way that it's supposed to work is the district of attendance has to send um a out of district student agreement to the district of residents. So, the only ones that we have not received an agreement from are uh DOT is Dodson.
015Datson has not sent us any um student attendance agreements, but I have them on the list because their meeting was last night and there's a possibility that we might be receiving those student attendance agreements. I just don't want to drag this out. Right. Mary and I uh who's Mary's the clerk there identified the children that are attending Dodson from Malta. And so these would be the kids that we would receive student attendance agreements from um Datson about if they send them >> and Seikko I talked to them last week. They are they are going to do the student attendance agreements like everybody else but not charge tuition for this year. So everybody's doing >> So everyone's sending the agreements, but we're um not going to be entering them into the state this year. >> Well,
016I think somehow you enter them in, but we're not paying to Well, I don't know how you >> can't. Yeah, >> but at least we have them. >> But we have the agreements. If if somebody comes in that we have them, >> you know, not paying tuition, it is still going to come back on me cuz we did have a meeting to do all of that >> and I was the one that gave Okay. So that that's going to come back to me if >> Yeah. >> But it doesn't make sense. Now, if you have out of district kids that are not within the county, >> right, >> then that's a different ballgame cuz I can't tell other counties what to do. And you guys do have some that go to the charter school. >>
017Mhm. >> And so, you have to pay tuition to that cuz >> if they invoice us and they have invoiced us this year, >> right, >> for fiscal year 25. >> If they don't submit them, then >> then you don't have to pay the tuition. But if if they submit them, you're going to have to pay tuition as the only school in the county is Whitewater that doesn't have some out of county people in there. So the out of county ones are different cuz we can do what we want in Phillips County but we can't tell other counties and and certainly Glasco because of what's the little religious school up there. I can't think of it. But they want that money cuz they get a lot of kids in. So they want that money. So
018and we I do have some from Glasco. So that's and then I also wanted to point out that the student the out of student district agreements if there's room on the bus those kids can ride the bus. But if we don't have room on the bus we have to service the kids within the county first. So the kids within the county first always. >> When you say county, you mean district. >> District. Sorry, not county. I'm sorry, Mari. The district, >> they have to be served first before we can serve out of district kids. So, >> we have an issue going on and I know that. But those kids that we have inside the district have to be serviced first. There's no way around that law. And so, I just wanted to make sure that
019was >> okay. explain. >> I have to abstain from this. We will >> now if there's if there's room on a bus, >> that's fine. >> They can get on a bus. >> I guess I should look, >> but if there's not room, then they have to bring the kids to school. >> Okay. >> Katie will abstain, >> right? Because she's on the Well, she abstains from the second list, but she doesn't need to abstain from the first. >> You want us to vote on them separately? >> Two groups. Yes. Okay. >> I make a motion to approve the Malta students attending out of district. >> I would second. >> A motion from Angel, a second from Katie. Is there any discussion? Any discussion? >> Uh, all those in favor say I. >> I. I.
020>> All those opposed, same sign. Motion carries. Motion. I'll make a motion to approve the out of district students attending Malta. >> Have a motion from Angel. Do I have a second? >> Second from Jessica. Any discussion? Any discussion? >> All those in favor say I. >> I. >> All those opposed, same sign. Motion carries. >> Katie abstaining. >> Katie abained. Uh action item number three, 2025 26 individual transportation contracts. Okay, you have a list uh of individual transportation contracts. Uh there is a note that Jessica and Jesse, I'm sorry, and Kayla Young requested isolation status. Um the list is up to date as of 8:14. um looking for a motion to approve individual transportation. >> Um so first I I think we need to consider uh Jesse and Kayla Young's request um for isolation
021because they're already an approved um transportation contract. We the transportation committee had already said yes, send them the contract. Okay. >> Um so the qualifications for isolation um are that you have to be more than 7 miles one way from the school. your roads are not graded for at least one half of the distance and roads present considerable difficulty in bad weather and special equipment is ordinarily required. Um the uh and I did spoke to I did speak to Kayla and I let her know this already, but um as part of our new process for um considering um isolation requests, we still have to bring it before the board to consider it and then have to let them know why they were denied, but they are 6.4 miles, so they don't qualify according to the
022statute for isolation. But I wanted to as part of this new process, right, I I need to tell you guys that they've requested it and um we're going to deny it based on them not qualifying as far as miles. >> Okay. Thank you, Other. >> Can we talk about the ones that are pending on here? >> Um >> yes, >> mostly I'm just asking cuz I'm on that list. >> Yes. >> I didn't request a contract, >> right? Um, so Candy getting off. >> She's Yeah, Candy's out. Um, >> she had she had an injury or something. So, >> uh, she is out >> and it was uh, is Robert taking over her route? Correct. >> No, sorry. D is taking over. So, um the people uh starting from >> uh >> line 15 line
02314, >> I'm sorry, line 14 down. >> Um those are the pendulums because of that. Now, that would be a short obviously time frame. She'll be back. So, here's the thing is is that um because I called the state, I didn't know because all of all the statute what the statute says, what the law says is that the um state superintendent, you know, decides on individual transportation contracts, right? And so I called the state and I said, "Are there any triggers, anything that triggers us having to give them an individual transportation contract?" And essentially it's up to the board to decide. Um we did receive a call from the um from Sasha Lulu and she asked about it and said >> um you know are we going to get an individual transportation contract for the
024time that we don't have a bus and so um that's up to the board. Our policy says that we may offer it. >> Um, and there's no guidance in our policy as to what may or may not trigger that decision except for you guys making a decision. >> And as far as policy, there's something about giving our bus drivers, they're allowed so much without having to offer it, right? >> No, there's not. >> There's nothing in the policy about that. >> Okay. So my only concern is like and I understand that there are extenduating circumstances with a bus driver being, you know, injured and unavailable to drive. I understand that. But we're we I think we as a board need to develop a policy that draws a line because otherwise we're doing an individual contract
025every time a bus driver has a doctor's appointment and they miss one day. So either we are drawing that line for more than a certain number of days. I don't know. But I I hesitate agreeing to it tonight without developing a policy first. Um >> push this to transportation. >> Yeah, that's fine. I mean, I would love a recommendation out of transportation because um the other thing that we have to consider is even when we do build a policy and for example, if it's, you know, so many days without a driver on a route, someone has to keep track of that. Someone has to note every day there isn't a driver. And I'm just saying that that can be an administrative burden sometimes. So, we need to consider how it all actually plays out in
026an actual procedural fashion, >> but I don't really feel comfortable voting on it without having some sort of policy in place. >> I didn't request it. My name's on here. >> Well, if we I understand where you're coming. It'd be everyone on the route. I understand. >> Yep. >> So, a policy based on um where we draw the line as far as how many >> Well, we just need a policy. We don't have a line. So, I mean, if if we start writing individual contracts every time a driver has to take a day off because they have a doctor's appointment or >> substitute driver. That's >> that's the thing that's kicking us is we don't have enough drivers. I mean, you're just going to get into I would say an administrative nightmare of trying to
027keep track of that. >> We do have a transportation director that could be doing that though. You know what I mean? We do pay >> Well, but I'm the one who does all that paperwork, >> right? >> True. Fair enough. the transportation director is that is not part of his job description. That's part of my job description. >> But I just don't know that that we should be writing or that we should be approving these contracts now because it's setting a precedent and and setting a precedent in a very gray area that I'm not really comfortable with. >> Yeah. >> Okay. I am writing that down for transportation. And so what's your policy when like you don't have enough room on your bus, but the kids live within the district. >> What's your policy over
028who gets to ride the bus and who doesn't get to ride the bus? >> My understanding is that we don't have one. There's been a practice but not a policy. And that's where we're running into a lot of all of these issues in your policy because before I think Jane just did whatever she wanted whenever it came to her. And so we look and there's nothing >> cuz it was always my understanding that you pick up the farthest kids first >> and then the ones that are closest to town and get the individual contracts. That's how it was done in the past. >> It's called practice. >> Practice but not. >> So that's how it was done in the past. And so we have an issue and I called Carter last week because he told
029me this family lived has a Hayes address. Well, when you live in Landuski, I can vouch for that >> cuz we have assortment address. So if you're looking at just addresses, we should have been able they should have to come and pick up our kids 15 miles into into Dodson's district to pick if you look at their address. Well, if you live out there, you can have a Hayes address, you can have a Lurman address, you can have a Doc. We actually live in the Dockton district. So, you know, that's our original post office, but you can switch out there. So, he was just looking at their address. You can't do that. You've got to look on the maps that we have that the state knows. And these people live four miles within your district.
030They are four miles within because I went upstairs with Lenel and we looked at the maps and it's four miles into your district. They would be the farthest ones out by a long shot I would think. >> Um I think the issue that arises is we don't know where everyone lives. So when we go to their address, that's what we have to go. >> But you got to look at the maps. You >> got maps. You've got maps at the school. And and we have and I'm I'm not sure which because to my knowledge the family that's farthest out is being picked up first. >> True. >> Yeah. But these people are not >> there's you can talk cuz you're the one that lives out there. So >> yeah. >> So they do live out
031and >> they want their kids to come. They would be farther cuz they're on bear and not >> to my understanding it goes in a little bit where you turn the go. Hazel logical where the lights are >> at night, but you'd have to come up to bear goats, which >> So you're saying we have an updated map that says Katie Brown lives right here in district. You have that? >> We have a map that says that we have cuz what we have right now are addresses. >> But when you plug the address and when you plug the address in, it's not in district. That's what we have on record. >> But you have to look at the maps. She has one hanging in the office. I think you're misunderstanding is they can still have
032a Hayes address and be in district, >> right? But if we don't have a physical address and mailing address, the mailing address is also a problem too because if you have parents who work somewhere, we're on a we have rural mailboxes sitting on a highway. >> So we don't we base it on the physical address, not on the the not the mailing address. The mailing address is irrelevant. >> Well, that can't be irrelevant because Carter called me last week and he personally told me, "Oh, we're not going to pick your kids up because you have a haze mailbox." >> Who's who? I'm sorry. You're >> Carter. >> I'm Garrett and Victoria. Ours are the kids. >> Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. >> Our kids and AJ's kids are the ones that got bypassed. >> That was
033a That was a mistake. We met with Steve Buch on Wednesday right after we dropped the kids off at school and he tried to say that that they didn't have to go off the physical until we changed our mailing address completely. No. >> Assuming that we were going to have to change all of our business addresses too that they didn't have to go off >> because in theory I could have a mailbox in Kansas. Sure. Correct. >> Yeah. Absolutely. >> So why is Carter telling me that oh we're going off your mail your hey that's why we're bypassing you? He he shouldn't have told >> you the remarks that was made to you, >> you need to put that in writing >> cuz we're 100% in the district. I mean, >> it ain't it don't
034take a rocket scientist to read that map. >> Well, even even if we weren't we went with BS and he told us that they that you guys had to use our mailing address. No, >> I said I said all I knew it was an address issue. I didn't know what if what they were using. I asked you specifically if I had to change my mailing address. You said to my knowledge, yes, you have to change your mailing address and we will not have to use your visible that the the mailing address that we had is what you guys go off of >> because at this point it really doesn't look good at all because the four Indian kids that are on the south end are the only ones that don't have a bus >> and
035that doesn't look good. CR school kids have been riding this bus for almost 50 years. Never happened like this. It's never been questioned >> because there was a bigger bus. >> And it has nothing to do with who's who. So when we had our transportation meeting, the the names that the board members were given >> Yeah. >> were the ones we went off of. So it it was it it's not against who anybody is. It's >> kind of what it looks like because of the comments that are being made. Do you realize there was four comments made about this meeting tonight what time to be here? I was told by Heather 5:00 for public comment. I didn't know transportation was on the agenda. I talked about the agenda, but I was told if we wasn't
036on the agenda before last night, we wouldn't be allowed to speak other than public comments, right? And I'm that is the law. I I know that. So, but there's a lot of things happening here. The way this was handled was improp was was was you don't wait for a few days before school starts and you tell somebody, "Oh, your kids can't ride the bus cuz there's other kids and our bus is too small and there's other kids getting on now." Well, 50 years later, you're saying the Krasco kids can't ride the bus. >> No. I think what happened with the Krasco situation is we had two we went with the primary residence which was Stacy which is Dodson. >> But the problem with that is it could have been solved by a phone call. >>
037Right. Oh, I'm not saying that the communication that we do we we are trying to improve it. This is our first year on the board. >> Per your policy, it says all parents would be contacted. Page five down towards the bottom in your policy. Parents will be called. This should have been taken care of a while ago. So, we could have tried to figure something out. And I I was notified cuz that was the kids' primary address in Dodson. And I'm not in district. So, I get that like that's not the issue. The issue was that the kids been riding the bus for 5 years out to Sortman and we were told 2 days after school started that they didn't have a place on the bus >> and that was because we went off of
038the primary address when we when we're given the papers. We went off of the primary address which was yours. >> However, shouldn't she have had to request this that she's out of she's in the Dawson area? So, so she doesn't get a bus anymore. That was her primary residence. So, she doesn't get one anymore. So, and that's the bus that they were riding. >> Right now, it's 50. >> Yeah. Yeah. 50. >> But we didn't have we didn't have anything in place like the reason that it wasn't an issue last last year that they had two buses was because there was a bigger bus. But wouldn't you think if like if kids were riding it for 5 years, you would have picked up the phone and said, "Hey, I realize this is your primary address,
039but I know they also ride the bus out to >> I was never notified. He was never notified. Both of our addresses and phone numbers are on their files, but it's the primary one." And and the law states that >> whoever the primary one is, that's who gets the bus service if it's available. Wasn't you told to sign it >> and you can't go to the second one that >> Well, no, that's all been changed now. Their primary address is out there now. >> So, the kids that >> Okay, the bus downsided. Normally, I've been seeing actually honestly by the time my kids or my grandkids got off the bus, >> um there was only one other kid on the bus. >> So, I understand downsizing the bus. The way this was handled is just
040totally wrong and unprofessional. You don't wait till school starts to deal with. >> We were called. We were called two days before school started that, hey, you guys don't got a bus. Well, can we get on with Kyle Salon's kids? His turn. Well, no, it's full. How do you expect How do you guys expect us to to feel or think about that? >> Right. Oneita is saying that it was handled unprofessionally. When we met with Steve Boops on Wednesday in his office, he told us that the the board meeting today was up that it was starting at 7:00. >> It was supposed to We legally moved it up. We notified the public >> because there is a wake tonight that everybody's trying to get to. >> Yeah. Sorry, there's just a a wake. >> Um
041I think that a lot of this just needs to go back to transportation. I don't I think that um >> we got to work this out because we're talking about poor kids. >> I know >> four kids on a corner reservation. And I hate to I'm I hate bringing that up, but right now that's how it looks. And when people start hearing, well, the Prosco kids don't get to ride a bus. They're driving 80 miles round trip a day because that's what it's going to No, 160 miles. >> We are not saying that you cannot have a bus. >> We are not saying you cannot have a bus. There was a lack of communication. We did not have an updated address. We did not know that their primary residence was going to be changed to
042Dodson. So, when we made our decision, it was based off of what we were given. So, we are not saying you cannot have a bus. >> Okay, good. So, >> they will be able to get on the bus soon. >> As soon as we have our transportation meeting and we go through things, you're welcome to talk to him. >> Yeah. When's your transportation? >> We don't have one yet. >> Okay. >> That's what we're saying. It will get moved to transportation. >> Can somebody please contact AJ and let him know or contact me? Let us know when that is so we make sure we're here. >> Cuz I mean, we don't want no bad feelings. This has been going on for years. >> And ideally, everyone in our district gets a bus. That would be
043the best case scenario. >> Yeah. But it's Yeah. And I just assumed when I talked to Heather, I said, "I know there's budget problems out there. I realize, I understand all of this. >> It's not budget, it's drivers in that clarify that." And our driver that's on that route is >> our driver that is on that route is trying to get her CDL under and so there will be a bigger bus. >> Okay. >> And so we it will go back to our practice, not maybe >> we do have a school bus endorsement. I don't know, but I bet he get one just to help us out here cuz he graduated from here. How many years ago now? I can't wait to >> anything you can do if you want. >> Yeah, but just to
044clarify, it was not who anyone was right now. It's just >> Is that what you were talking about in the beginning of the meeting when you were talking about the incentives for the the drivers and the endorsements? >> Yes. >> Yeah, that's the comment. >> Yes. I don't to pay somebody. I don't know. That's would get pricing it, isn't it? Cuz we need to pay. >> No decisions have been made. >> No, it just got put to finance committee to explore. >> Yeah. Okay. >> And bear with us. It will take time. It's not a fast process. Anything that's here is slow >> as I find out. So, so and we have discussed that we would like to do a deadline in the summer because we do know that the communication needs improved. We would
045like to do a deadline to have bus every bus or town request packets by like July 1st. >> I mean, we we could even be willing to drive our kids a little bit further down the road if that would help. >> I think you guys asked to get on at Salison's or something. I even asked to go to the KRM like any living 40 miles out, you know, anywhere anywhere closer is better than nothing. >> And we have no pile roads. We have on We have dirt roads. We've got gravel roads and paved roads that we drive on to get to the school bus. >> It's four miles from the house to the highway that we drive anyway just to take them to the bus. And yeah, like that's not that that's usually not the
046issue. It was just the size of the bus. you guys discussed >> and and what we had at the time when we had our list there wasn't there wasn't Krasco or Adoni that's what we so we just picked up the furthest one out which I think was Kyle >> so it had nothing to do with who >> so right now the bus is going as far as Kyle's >> I think so >> no there's one more there's one more I'm sorry >> yep they just they're >> where are they family the kings I think >> the kings are a newer family. Are they in Bear Gulch? >> Yeah, >> they're passed, but I don't have >> So why So why does that go to bear gulch and bypass us? >> Because that's what they're saying
047is that they >> they had their paperwork in, right? >> Yeah. >> Your address wasn't like lit up on the map for them to know that that was a stop that needed to happen. >> Thank you for explaining it the way I trying to. Yeah. >> Like your because it was the address was um communicated. So, >> so everybody from So, just the last like 5 years, AJ's kids been riding the bus. >> They're saying, >> so all No, no, I understand. So, all of the employees here forgot just just I'll just kind of just forgot that AJ's kids need a bus. >> No, what happened is we lost a big bus. We don't have a big enough bus and then their address was wrong also. >> Yes, their address. >> Their address isn't wrong.
048No, no, no. It was the primary address. primary address >> and that's and that's how routes are built. They're off your primary address. >> Okay. >> So, with the addresses that we had, we had a Hayes address, we had a Dawson address. They they were they were in Yeah, sorry. We had an out of district address and a Dachon, both out of district. So, we went with the names that we had. >> It It was just >> It was not at all intentional. It's just when you print a list of which addresses are on or in district and if your name gets omitted even by error then that's the list that they went off of. So just to clarify just because we're talking about it the the bus that's going out there is the Ford
049Expedition. There's seven seats. My understanding is there's two sets of three which makes six. So there's only one open seat. There's not two open seats or four open seats. >> Right. Right. And so we're more or less just waiting for bigger transportation with somebody with an endorsement. >> Yes. Correct. >> That would excellent communication right there. An excellent communication letter to be sent out to the parents. >> Yes. >> Right there. Okay. >> Yeah. >> That would have Yep. >> It would alleviated a lot of problems. Correct. >> Yes. No, I agree. Communication will and that's a priority of ours. So hopefully get it by next summer by July 1st. >> We still send our kids to school between now and whenever there's a bus form. >> We do. You still send them to school,
050right? >> Yeah. >> Yes. >> Okay. So, we'll give you guys >> 60 miles. >> So, here's the thing. We'll give you the individual transportation contract and that gets you reimbursed by your miles that you're going to be transporting your children. >> How much is it? >> It's um cents, you told me. >> Huh? >> 19 cents. You told >> I didn't No, I didn't tell you an amount. It's based on a formula um for the state. So, I can look that up right quick, but it's based on a formula essentially. >> Yeah. >> It's not anything we decided. >> It's not the federal, you know, 70 cents a mile or something like that. It's it's a formula based on the state. >> Uh, and it's and then you can apply for additional that's the
051isolation that we were talking about. So, you can apply for isolation and there's certain criteria you have to meet and I'll include the um the frequently asked questions and that form when I send you guys the individual transportation contract. >> But financially, I mean, not just financially, but emotionally, physically, when you're working, how do we leave home at quarter after 7:00 in the morning to get our kids to school, get back home at quarter to 9:00, try to get to work, leave home at quarter. Do you see what I'm saying? To get down here. I mean, it doesn't it doesn't make sense. You got to have a job to do that. >> Oh, I know. >> I know that's not your problem. I know. I know. But doesn't make sense for us to contract. >>
052And my suggestion is you don't go off of the addresses. You look at >> start the map. The the one at the courthouse up in the hill's office is the best. It's easiest to see. I I got new maps a year ago and gave them to everyone. >> There's an application that you use that the state I have the I mean I have it. It's just that addresses need to be correct. >> You just have to >> something that we >> you have to go by the coordinates. But if you have the coordinates and you can all of that can be done at Lenil's office. You know, you go back, you look in the big books, you find the coordinates, you go look at the map, and then you know whether they're in district or
053out of district from those maps. You can't go by the addresses, especially south. >> Yep. >> Anybody can have any address out there. I mean, I live out there, so I know that >> we have a teacher that like I don't know 100 yards from our house that works here. And we I mean, right away, that was my first thought. Oh my gosh. We're going to have to try to work with Ronnie. We can't drive him every day. But Ronnie comes. She's a dedicated teacher. She's in here early and staying late and No, I don't want I don't want to do that to her. >> Okay. I think we got to trans are we done discussing it, I guess, cuz we we do need to move this along, I guess. >> Oh, are these mine?
054Um, >> so that will just get moved to transportation and then um we will come back with a >> so the the pending um so essentially what the motion needs to be is that we're going to send um individual everyone who has a contact sent to them is already approved aside from uh we need to approve Lacy Kung and Kaye the young. So, we need to approve those two families. >> Then we need to um approve sending individual transportation contracts to the crosscos and to the donates. >> Okay. >> And then we're going to table the rest. >> What about Jade Salson? >> So that's you guys have decided to do the um >> she is not on Jade is Jade is that route, not my route. >> We Exactly. We decided that we're going
055to give it to the crossbows in the don. >> Okay. So, we are sending a contract then to Jade. >> No, I see. Got it. I fallen off. >> And then um the rest of those are all Don Greens and you guys want to send that to the So, that's a separate motion >> to send that send all those transportation committee for. >> So, you're going to to split the list. >> Yeah, split the list. And I I suppose I don't >> So I need to make a motion to Donnie Green's route or >> and move that to transportation committee, >> right? Sure. Yeah. >> Yeah, it's Donnie Green's route. >> Well, that that >> But I I suppose I have to Yeah. >> So I made a motion. >> I have a motion from
056Jessica. Do I have a second? >> Yeah. Second. >> Second from Katie. Any discussion? Any discussion? Hearing none, we'll vote. Uh, all those in favor say I. >> I. >> All those opposed, same sign. >> Motion carries. >> And I abstain. >> And abain. >> Okay. So, that got rid of Donny's round. And I can. >> So, now we need to make a motion for >> um number 11 and 12 on the list. And then um Cascos and the >> donies. Okay, >> I make a motion to approve individual transportation contracts for 11 and 12 on the list and the Costco and Del families as well until we can figure out bigger bus. >> Motion from Angel, second from Jessica. Is there any discussion? Any discussion? Uh, all those in favor say I. I. >>
057All those opposed, same sign. Motion carries. [Music] Uh, action item number four, approve school lunch prices >> and they're the same as last year is what I was looking at. >> Did you see the two lists provided? It's the same as last year. >> I make a motion to approve as second. >> Motion from Angel, second. Any discussion? >> Any discussion? All those in favor say I. >> I. >> All those opposed, same sign. Motion carries. Number five, occupational therapy contract with Rock Creek Tele the Therapy. >> All right. So, we had we usually contracted with the hospital. >> Hold on. >> And uh they could not find a person to fill that position. So, we had to what I did is I reached out to Bearpaw Cooperative. Um we're not part of Bearpaw, but
058but I know the U director very well. So, she has some resources. She gave me a couple names. Um I reached out to the first name which was an independent contractor and they were faultless so they were not able to um meet our meet our needs and then the next one on the list was the Rock Creek tea health or teleaotherapy >> and we're required to have this. >> Yes. >> Y and I'm finalizing >> and I'm finalizing the students. Uh I just finalized that now. So the the um I know the cost might have looked high, but it might it's probably not going to be that much. So >> this is this is an estimate, but we're given the >> Yeah, this is just an estimate, but what the the actual contract what you're
059seeing there is is is a quote. Basically, the contract is on on Docu Sign, so I have to sign the actual contract. So, I just need I guess authority to sign that >> sign this contract >> and we can't go back to Phillips County Clinic until like we would commit to this for a whole year. But I'm saying if they do find >> if they if they find someone, >> we can't do it. This is a full year contract. We can't change midyear. >> Yes. >> Got it. So, our rate last year with um Phillips County was 75. So, the rate that's for this is 83. >> Okay. Don't really have an option. I don't know. Make a motion to approve the contract from Steve to sign. >> Have a motion from Angel. Do I
060have a second? >> Second from Katie. Is there any discussion? >> Any discussion? Uh, all those in favor say I. >> I. I. >> All those opposed. Same sign. Motion carries. [Music] 2025 2526 contracts. >> All right. We have uh playground Doug Douglas French. We have junior class uh sponsors, Ryan Benton, Sue Gilkerson, uh Rachel Mortonson, Anna Fuller. Senior class sponsors, James Howland, Ronnie Krasco, Nick Oxart, and Riley Mix. We also have a list from Mr. Norby of coaching positions. We have bus drivers >> pending our background check. And then we have a substitute list that is also attached after Mr. and you guys had approved junior and senior class sponsors, but then there was a shuffling of them. So, we had to pull all of those contracts. And so, this is an updated list.
061Okay. [Music] I think it's worth noting here that the assistant high school boys basketball coaching position is open. The assistant high school girls basketball coaching position is open and fifth and sixth grade volleyball are open as well as a middle school track >> and those are all paid positions. >> Yeah. So, >> but we still we still have holes to fill positions. And did you uh >> you reviewed the substitute list? >> There's one on there that we have pending the background check. >> Yeah. >> Uh I was looking at it. Is Tom going to be a substitute bus driver? >> He's on the list. That's what I was questioning. >> He's on the list. So I I don't know. Of course, a substitute you call and they may or may not want to do
062it, right? >> Just like a regular like a classroom substitute. >> I would leave him on his list, but he told me no. He would prefer not to drop into it. I would leave him on >> in case we have to beg him please. >> Well, I mean, did he tell you take him off the list or you just making something up? >> I said basically I prefer I I wouldn't I probably wouldn't want to drive but probably wouldn't want to not take me off the list. I would say it'd be easier to leave him on the list and not use them than take him off and try to get back on it. >> Okay. >> He wouldn't have to reapply that way if he ever decided to again. >> I got you. >> That
063way he stays active in the system. >> Great. >> I don't archive him. >> But to just for my knowledge for future if they want off, they just have to call and say I want, right? >> Mhm. >> There's no >> form sign. Yeah. No, there's no contracts for stuff. So, >> okay. >> So, >> okay. So, >> does anyone have to abstain? >> Oh, I do. >> I was going to say >> your mom is married to Tom. Like, are they >> are they common law marriage or actual marriage? >> Yeah, I abstain. Oh, that makes sense. >> From what? From which one? >> Well, if they just do the whole list, I'll just abstain from it all. >> Okay. Nobody else has to. >> Um, my aunt is on here. >> Everybody. >>
064So, um, we can just do >> which one? >> Hope Anderson. >> Oh, right. >> Fine. Katie. Fine. >> So, that's on the substitute list. >> Yes. So, we can have a motion to approve everyone except for Pope Anderson. >> Or we can just do pull the full sub list. What you guys want to do? >> It'd be easier to just pull the full sub list. >> That's what I do. >> Yeah. Okay. >> I make a motion to approve um all positions as presented except the substitute list. >> Have a motion from Angel. Do I have a second? >> I second. >> Second from Katie. Is there any discussion? Any discussion? Hearing none, we'll vote a no. All those in favor say I. I. >> I. >> All those opposed, same sign. Motion carries
065with Yes. >> Now we need a motion to >> So, is Tom? >> So, >> no, you're fine. >> I'll make a motion to approve the substitute list except Tom >> and hope. >> Well, Do we people now >> except I'll do one for >> Well, actually the the chair can vote. >> Yeah. No, he does. >> That's a corn. That's three, >> right? I'm taking Tom off. >> I was going to do both. >> Then then she can vote. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Then she can vote. And we can just vote on Tom. >> Jesus. >> Good thing the other Katie is not here. Right. >> Okay. That's Tom Johnson. >> Okay. So, approve the substitute list except Tom Johnson. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> That's me. I made that motion. >> Right. Got
066that. >> So, we got a motion from Angel. You have seconds. >> You can second this. >> You have to cuz she took Tom off. >> No, she doesn't have to, but she could. Oh, wait. Because you're abstaining. >> So, you have to second it. >> Get it together. >> Yes, I second. Good morning. >> Second from Jessica. Any discussion? Any discussion? Uh, we'll vote. All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Katie abstaining. >> Katie abstain. >> Yes. >> We need a motion to >> I would vote to uh approve hiring Tom Johnson. >> Motion for me. No. >> I guess I'm confused. I thought Hope Anderson was your >> She abstained from the last one. Jessica voted. Now we're voting for Tom. Jessica, Angel, and Kyle voted on the last motion. >>
067So, >> which is a quorum >> approved the substitute except Tom Johnson >> except Tom because so hope is on the list. So, Katie >> Katie abstain. >> Yeah. Okay. Now, the next motion is we're approving Tom and I second it. Katie is seconded. >> Who discussion? >> That was me. >> Angel made a motion. Katie seconded. Is there any discussion? >> Any more discussion? >> Anybody else related? All right. Hearing none will vote. All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Jessica. Oh, I abstain. >> All those opposed. >> Did you say? >> Motion passed. >> Okay, I think I got it all. I'll I'll go back and review the tape and start meeting. >> I'm going to divorce all my relatives and then make it so much easier. >> Number seven, FFA
068Nationals in Indianapolis. and out of state travel request. >> So, as you know, you guys have to prove out of state uh uh travel. We want to give our FFA the opportunity to travel to the national uh national in Indianapolis, Louisiana. >> Is this the one that they can go to just by applying or is this the one they have to qualify for? >> They can just go by >> they can just go to this one. >> Okay. >> And they can qualify. >> Okay. Did we go last year to this one? No. >> Our two, not this place, but this >> I think it's every two years, isn't it? >> Um, national convention. >> We have a national convention every year. >> Okay. >> We don't always necessarily go frequent. We go. >> And
069they're just asking for permission. They're not asking for funds, >> right? Permission. >> I'll make a motion to approve the out of state travel for FFA. Second. >> Motion from Jessica, second from Katie. Is there any discussion? Any discussion? All those in favor say I. >> I. >> All those opposed, same sign. >> Motion carries. Item number eight, 15, passenger van purchase information only. Katie, you want to talk about it? >> Sure. Um, so from the bus that burnt up, we got what was the total? 59,000. So that won't even touch a bus. Um, so and that is actually going back to the general fund. >> It goes into the general fund. So, in order to hopefully keep it for transportation purposes since it kind of came out of there, we are we have been
070looking into doing a 15 passenger van which would be for like FFA uh cross country >> golf but like you know FFA sometimes we have to take two expeditions or and then this way um an adviser can drive um the downfall is it cannot be used on a bus route. Um, so what we were hoping was that we can get >> But the bus that burned wasn't being used on a route either. >> Correct. >> Um, and so we and the funds we can't use any uh bus or transportation funds to ever buy a van. That money would have to come out of somewhere else and we don't have it and that's why we've never done it. Um, so this is our one and only chance to use transportation money to buy a van. So
071we were hoping that we could move forward and um, look into options and bring options back to you guys up to that amount and it doesn't have to be a new one. It doesn't have to be just options to bring back to you guys. Sounds good. So here from being on this board, here's Yeah. Look at the bus, drive the bus, walk around the bus, see the bus, be the bus >> before you bring it back here and do the research to make sure that this really can be driven for FFA and really can be driven by an or advisor. >> Okay. >> Can we ask a question or not? I don't understand. I was like, I've not been here before. Why can't it be used for a bus ride? I'm just curious. I don't
072know. >> So, you have to have certain um safety. Yeah. So that's why the Ford Expedition is the only kind of Expedition we can use because they are rated for a school quality. Like we are not allowed to buy like a Chevy Suburban. We have to use that particular Ford kind of vehicle. So >> for a bus route, this is not a bus route and that's the problem. There's just a lot of rules. >> You can't use it for a bus route because it doesn't meet the state. >> Yeah. >> 15 person travel van of a different variety. >> Yeah, we do have a 14 passenger bus. It looks like the >> but it has to be driven by a CD. >> You have the same amount of kids, but one you have to have
073and one you don't. >> One you can take 15. It doesn't require a CDO. One that has 14 requires a CDO. >> Yeah. Take that up with the state. >> That's out of our control. >> Yeah. That's not our policy. It's the state. >> Yeah. >> I would So, if this is information only, I assume that transportation is going to keep looking into this. I would really like to see like what all the purposes that it would be used for like FFA like cuz I don't want to purchase a 15 passenger van for a onep purpose use. Right. >> Right. >> There's lots of uses. >> I'm sure there is. I want to see them. That's okay. For sure. >> And prices and all that stuff we would like to see. So >> you won't
074touch anymore. >> Well, we're going to have to beg. >> Did have one for sale or was that a bus? >> That was a bus. That was a bus. Okay. I saw it. >> What's the van that Dawson drives? Is that a CEO? >> That's a 15,000. >> That's what this is. That's what this is. Okay. That's the one I always see that looks really nice. >> So, it's a basically an activities van. There you go. It's an activities van. You said it has to come out of transportation. No. No. It cannot come out. >> It cannot come out of transportation. >> Oh, so it's got to come out of the general fund. >> Right. So, but this that money that we got for the burnt up bus, which won't touch a $250 or $300,000
075bus, this is our only chance to be able to get something like that >> because it went into the general >> and it's considered like a recreational >> activity. Yeah. So, yeah, it'd be like for clubs or small sports groups, >> trips, >> field trips, small field trips. Just like when we originally purchased all the activity buses clear back in 2012, all that funds came on those original first buses. Okay. >> Okay. >> Any more questions? >> Okay. Sorry. Uh moved. Action item number nine, laptop purchases. >> All right. So, we have a list of technology. Technology is fun and technology is expensive. Um, a couple of computers, uh, myself included are dying. And then we have several new teachers that need new computers. Uh, the other thing on there is the occupational occupational therapy
076needs computers to do their tea therapy. So, those two are on there for sure. Um but these are some unforeseen is a good word. >> Some are some we knew about. >> Obviously we knew some and some we didn't. >> Some of these were on um Evans rotation. >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> So that's uh almost 15 grand in technology that needs to be purchased. >> So can you tell me which ones were on his rotation and which ones weren't? >> Um >> I don't remember which one. >> So uh Mr. Um, let's see. Kate Webb I know was a lot of these are new, right? Vince is new, Riley is new, Mr. Buches, uh, Mr. Hewitt was on the rotation. >> Okay. >> Um, >> occupational therapy is obviously new.
077>> And we've got the two new ones for occupational therapy. Um, the lunch posos is new. That was not on our radar. >> I think there's some issues with post. >> Yeah. So, but it wasn't on our radar. We weren't. >> Okay. Those aren't working, right? >> Yeah. Exactly. >> And that's when they check in, the kids put their number in. That's what that is. Okay. >> Yeah. And then um he he wants to have a spare, which is smart, right? Because what we're what's happening is is that laptops are dying and we have to rush out and >> try and buy one when you get a better price when you buy in groups. Right. >> So, >> and occupational therapy needs two. >> Yeah. We need one. >> Oh, yeah. Fair enough. >> Okay.
078So, >> no, it's in the budget. >> It is. >> Yep. Okay. >> I mean, we have the money. Um, it's >> and part of this was already >> It's more than what we thought we were going to spend on laptops this year, but um it's fine. >> But it's in there. >> Okay. I make a motion to approve laptop purchases. >> Motion Katie, do I have a second? >> Can you um use the language of up to 15,000? >> Um I approve to or I make a motion to approve the laptop purchases up to 15,000. >> A motion for Katie. Do I have a second? >> Second Jessica. Is there any discussion? Any discussion? All those in favor say I. >> Anybody else in favor? >> Anybody else? Sorry. >> What? Okay. Hi. >>
079All those opposed. Same sign. Motion carries. So, I'm clicking my pen to keep you awake. >> All right. This is just first readings, right? >> Yeah. I don't first reading with policy updates. >> Actually, the um >> lot of policies >> 7220 is actually a second reading, but and there's also a typo on there. It's supposed to be option two, not option >> cuz 7220 is not a second reading because we didn't >> we read it once to my knowledge. >> I don't wasn't it? I think >> long time. It was like like months ago. I >> Oh, I feel like a second. >> Okay. What? Why weren't they consecutive months then? >> Because we forgot to put it on the next month. >> I don't feel like we read I thought we discussed it
080even. >> No, I don't want to, but I just I think I'm sure we did, but that's fine. >> Okay. >> Do what you want. >> Um, >> I'm going to take the word. >> Policy 5321 was a language update by the attorney. I don't know specifically what language he updated on this. Do you have do you have no? >> Uh, yes. So, it's the language that's highlighted on here. And so, what this, just so you guys know, this is a result of the conversation that we've been having ongoing with um the attorney about uh paying sick leave and vacation to employees who are working as substitutes, right? So we have contracted employees and they're being a substitute custodian as well or a substitute bus driver, right? So um and then so what was what
081was happening is is we were um we were acrewing sick and vacation on the hours that they were working as a substitute which is not right because a substitute is not a contracted position and so >> and that class employee doesn't acrew vacation. >> Yes. Exactly. And so no other substitute gets sick leave than a vacation thing. And so the language that so the the attorney talked to a lot of people at the state and um this is what they came back with is that the language in the policy should say qualifying class classified employees will be granted sick leave benefits. And then qualifying employees, all qualified classified employees are eligible to earn vacation leave. And qualifying means you have a contract for that position. >> That's how we get around it, just by changing
082qualifying. >> Yeah. >> Okay. That's what they said. >> Okay. And then also uh so that that's the change in 5321 is just qualifying classified employees. Uh then you've got 5334 that's also highlighted. It's got qualifi um qualifying classified employees and then also has non-union employees who choose to cash compensation option. Um that language has been also changed. So, that came out of the um the personnel committee where we added the language about non-UN employees um being offered a cash buyout at the end of the year for their vacation like all of the other employees >> by offering do offer that to the Yeah. Okay. >> And they can cash out up to their full vacation balance. >> Okay. So then you have the 5334 actual policy and then you have the procedure 5434 >>
083right and 5334 is again that qualifying classifier [Music] >> and then uh option two for 7220 P1 is the option that I >> okay option two Yep. [Music] Okay. Can I move on? Mhm. >> All right. So, I gave you a cheat sheet. Um I try to put them in order if if you want to look through them as we go, but basically the first uh section are all updated policies. There's 19 of them. Um there's slight changes and there's one that I can see that is an actual completely re rewrite but it's a it's a policy that we all these are policies that we already have. Um so uh the one that is a complete rewrite is the human sexuality instruction identity instruction. That's all in red as you can see. Um policy number
0843416. There's a lot of additions to that one as well. not complete not completely re rewritten. [Music] >> Um and then the last one is 8301. There's a cost involved with that one. >> Okay. So >> it's in the zip file. >> It's in that zip file >> cuz it's so the 8301 is talking about um an option to install temporary door lock devices. So, I'm curious to hear your thoughts come back. Mr. BL, how about you? It's a high school. >> I guess I guess >> how do they work? >> But it's it's something that we can choose, I'm guessing. So, they're saying we have to update all [Music] >> these these would be door locks we would use like >> like I've seen some that have the the the metal bracket on the
085the base of the door and it has a hole in it. So, there's those. >> I'm trying to Our doors open out though, don't they? So, that would work for our door. >> This is for like classroom doors. >> Yeah. doors to room during shelter in place or open it. >> I guess I would >> have to look and see what more information >> I think we would want to choose something of our own liking I guess. >> Yeah. >> And then something that we would have to also consider is a kid going to lock the door and be funny. >> Well, yeah. Easy use. And if it really is something that would make a difference on our doors, too. >> Yeah. >> Um, your doors at the elementary, do they open out or in?
086>> All out. Okay. So, we have to find something that would be that would work. >> They're all wood doors, so >> yeah, makes it even more complicated. [Music] >> Um, sorry. Sorry, I just got mine to load. So, I'm tracking all. >> So, again, there's lots of minor changes, some more than minor changes, I guess, on that first set of 19. Um, so I want to kind of focus on the the last section of policies, >> just so you're aware of them. >> Um, we have uh 1007 FE multi-dist agreement. This is a policy per we have a a a contract when we do our our multi-dist agreements but this would actually be policy that we have. So there's a difference I guess in that information. So um this was adopted in 22 um
087by MTSBA and we did not apparently look at it. Okay. >> The only question I have maybe for you, it talks about the board of uh transferring the fund. Who who is in charge of that? What is it called? The multi-dist fund or interlocal cooperative fund is what it's called. >> I don't know who's in charge of that fund. If it's >> us or you know like in our situation, >> it depends on who the hosting district. >> So it would be in the situation that we have with North Harlem that was pretty. have that. >> No, >> we don't. Or do we? >> No, it would be. >> I'm sorry. It would be them. Yes, because they're the hosting district >> because Bla County is the >> So, um, so if you and there's
088lots of Fred in the back, so they've added had to there was lots of, um, back and forth with with legislators, I believe, last year with this. [Music] Uh, the next one on there is 10:15 FE personalized learning opportunities. There were three versions that were sent to you. Um, one of them is combining two position. So, they're they're talking about positions and you're and I'm going to have you jump in here too because we talked about funding, right? Um, but there's one that House Bill 573. That's the one that is all crossed out here and it talk and it just has option number three in red down the bottom. And then there's the Senate bill version that is not crossed but but describes transformational learning uh and does not leave option number three for you.
089does not what >> option number three like the first one has option three or not option three in red >> and which one are you suggesting >> that's where I was >> so the Senate bill I believe is the one that has the addition of a position right so it's really up to you guys do you want to adopt a policy where you say that we're going to have this position ition. Um >> I think it house bill. >> Oh, is it the house building? >> House bill is talking about advanced opportunities facilitator. >> Yeah. So creating and filling the job position of advanced opportunity facilitator um or assigning the duties of the advanced opportunity facilitator to a current employee of the district. So that's that's one option. Then the second option >> transformation >>
090is just transformational learning means a flexible system of pupil centered you know etc etc which is essentially >> this is us right now right this is us right now this would be creating a new position >> and then the combined one does both it it does the transformation underneath and then it does >> us right now that's what you guys need to decide Yeah, us right now. >> Yeah. Right. This is just first reading. But >> yeah. >> All right. Um, so there are on policy 2165, there's the 2165 early targeted intervention. And then there's the the the notice form that goes with that policy. This is a policy that they offered up last year and it is again requiring us to fulfill more um working more with OPI and a position and so they
091have the jump start program. So this we did not agree to last year. So what they did now is they got rid of the literacy and they put in math and literacy. >> Okay. So, we didn't need it last year because in my opinion, that's what we do as a title school already. So, now this is just more hoops that we have to jump through, collect data, report out to the OPI that we're already doing. That makes sense. >> Yeah. >> And and we we did decided not this is the one I visited with Mr. Moore on last year and said we didn't. So, >> so this is not a required policy. So, no. Yeah. Exactly. Right. >> so it's the same thing we turned down last year. They just >> they just they just
092tweaked they got rid of literacy and and incorporated literacy in math. So, >> okay. >> Um 3655 student safety. Um this is talking about unsupervised um people in our uh volunteering in our classrooms. Um down below the very bottom it talks about specific positions or titles or roles that will not require a black background check. When when Heather and I were visiting in the office earlier last we talked about like room parents. I mean, we we generally do background checks for everybody obviously because we want want our students to be safe, but is it necessary for like a mom that comes in and helps or a dad that comes in and helps? >> They're not unsupervised. >> Background check like volunteer coaches and stuff. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Because they do have uns unsupervised
093access to kids like they'll take a group of kids to a different practice field or, >> you know, >> Yeah. from that. So, so parents is kind of the only >> Yeah, >> cuz they're in >> they're also not unsupervised as far as room teachers there. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Okay, so that's something we >> um next uh employee verification of employment employer verification of employee sorry 5123 uh that is just talking about three day three business days uh after you hire somebody have to provide the A and B information to us. >> Okay. Um, policy 5252, notice of non-renewal of non-tenure teacher for financial reasons. So, as you know, if we ever have to non-renew somebody, that's always going to create a stir within the community and among staff. But if you're this allows
094us to say nonrenew uh for financial reasons, >> but of course, we still have to follow the CPA. >> Yep. and that's indicated at the bottom. So, >> okay. >> Uh then 8560, display of flags and banners on district property. It outlines A through K various flags that would be allowed >> that are allowed >> on district property. >> Okay, hold on. >> And does it mine? >> Oh, display of flags and banners. So that means these are the ones we can have. >> Yeah. And it just says no flags and court banners will be displayed on district property that represents political viewpoints uh including but not limited to flags or banners regarding political parties, race, sexual orientation, gender yada yada. >> Does that include historical there is >> you can have official >> historical
095official historical flags. >> Yes. including but not limited to Betsy Ross, Sagaton flag, and other flags of historical significance. >> The Gatsson flag. Okay. >> All right. Awesome. >> Okay. Any questions? The first reading I want to go through. >> Okay. First reading. Big deal. Next strategic plan for you. >> All right. You should receive that, correct? >> Send it out to you. >> Mhm. >> Okay. So, this is just >> Mr. Plus got it too. >> Um information. So, now we want to look at it if it's if it aligns with what we want. We want to probably adopt that next adopt that next month or if we want to add anything, delete anything. Now will be the time to do that. Similar to your I guess your policies. This would be a first
096>> first reading. >> A first reading. Yeah. >> Um find it again though 800 emails week. [Music] Are are we opening it up? Are we going through the notes? >> I think everyone >> Well, my hope was is that you would review it. I did and then um you might if you had any questions or any comments. Um, and then be prepared, I would say, at our um, next meeting to like really kind of deep dive into it and look at the action items is kind of a big thing, right? >> There's a typo. >> I found some typos, too. >> Yeah, I saw that. >> Um, >> I read it a couple times, but I need to read it some more. >> I did, too. >> I need to read it some more as
097well. The notes were great. >> Yeah, they were. >> And it wasn't me. >> She took good notes. She wrote everything down. >> Exactly the way you said it. >> Um, I think it was kind of what I had expected, I guess, when I opened it. >> It's not like I was >> surprised by it. >> No, I'm excited about it, I guess. But I didn't have any questions on it yet. >> Okay. So, just >> else look at it. >> You might just need to review it. >> Yeah.
