So, we're going to move on to public forum agenda item three. Um we do have uh public comment forum today. So, comment if I can find it. The board welcomes
010public input on policies and issues affecting our school district. Per state statute, speakers must sign in at the beginning of the meeting, completing the public comment form and giving it to the president of the board. Speakers will speak in the order the forms were received. Policy 8346 outlines speaker ability to address the board consistent with free speech rights. However, offensive language and defamatory remarks will not be tolerated. Further, concerns about individual staff members that cannot be resolved at the level closest to the situation should be directed to the superintendent. This board will not permit charges or complaints against the school employee without having followed the school's complaint procedure. In an effort to maintain the ability of the board to sit as an appellet body in student employee appeals, comments regarding individual student or personnel issues
011cannot be presented at this time. Public forum is an opportunity for the public to share their thoughts on matters related to the school district. Therefore, the board will not respond to questions or comments during this time. However, should board members wish to respond, they may do so at the end of the meeting or they may respond via email at a later date. Public comment is limited to 3 minutes per speaker with a total of 15 minutes available at each meeting. Dr. Dr. Danker will act as timekeeper for today. And we have one um one public comment form and that is Ernie Valentine. So u Mr. Valentine, if you would like to address the board. >> Good evening. I'd like to thank the David City Public School Board for your steady leadership in building our school
012system that delivers highquality learning to our students. Your thoughtful planning, commitment to the community engagement, and work to create a 5-year strategic plan showed your dedication to our families. More important than creating the plan, you've already begun the action it's going to take to accomplish some of those goals. The purchase of the property north of the school has the the potential to address both immediate and future needs. One of our greatest challenges in our district is our location. While being in the center of town offers many benefits to our family, it also provide limited opportunities for growth. Over the past decade, the district has worked hard to meet our needs. But space remains to be an issue. Limited playground space, inadequate facilities for family consumer times, insufficient parking for events, and a gym that can't
013host postseason competitions were all discussed by community members at the strategic planning meeting. As a board, you balanced fiscal responsibility with the needs to meet the facility challenges. You've shown discipline by declining to purchase property when the act asking price was not fair to our taxpayers. And I recognize that this is not easy. Balancing our needs and our finances often means that you're going to face criticism no matter what your decision is. Still, your repeated elections show the trust that this community has in you. While a town our size having two schools causes some division, the most recent election sent a clear message about what our patrons value. Transparency, leadership, and commitments to our students and staff. These are the values you brought to every decision that you've made. Thank you for your service and
014your dedication to the future of all scouts. >> Thank you. Moving on to our consent agenda. Um 4.1 approve minutes of the previous meeting. Both meetings, our regular meeting and our special board meeting um on July 21st. Are there any corrections or comments regarding those minutes? >> Seen. >> Okay. All right. Then we'll move on to approving claims against the district. >> Uh just highlight a few of them. uh the agile sports technology, the $12,000 invoice, that's our huddle uh that our coaches use. Um pretty much all sports. So that's an annual renewal. The Alers's plumbing was some plumbing we needed to do in our kitchens to get up to code according to uh the department when they came out and did a walk through. Um you can see some transfers to the various three
015funds. Uh sometimes we do them this month, sometimes we do them in two weeks. I I just went ahead and put them on this one because I was far enough into the the budget for next year uh to feel comfortable with those numbers. So I added that to this month's uh meeting. So that was on the first page. Uh second page, uh we did translate our district handbook um into Spanish for our Hispanic families. And so you saw translation cost there. Um you can see our insurance renewal through Alleycap. That's an annual uh payment. So it's a onetime payment per year. So that's there. Um uh Pney Bose, that's who or that's the company we use for our postage meter. And so we buy postage for the following year in August. And so it isn't
016that we had $13,000 in postage bills. It's not that's how much we put on the meter for the next school year. That's how that works. So, and then we did have the four trees removed on the property that we just uh uh purchased. And so that um uh that payment is in there. Woosey did all kinds of electrical work in in Bellwood, including some new lighting in the gym. if you get a chance to go over there and maybe some of you have seen that. >> Real nice. It's bright in there. >> So, so that made a world of difference switching to LEDs over there. So, those are probably the the big ones that I would highlight. Um, if you had any other specific questions, I'd try to answer it for you to the best
017of my ability. >> Anybody have any questions about the claims? Uh can you talk a little bit more about the qualified capital purchase the the security mapping that grant that we that we got but then now it's coming out it's >> Yeah. Um we got a $13,000 grant um uh for school mapping. In fact, they were here um I think on Monday. >> First day of school. >> Yeah, Monday. um and took pictures. Uh made sure they had the doorways in the right location, all the shut offs and uh all of that will be done GPS and it'll be electronically submitted to fire rescue EMT. And so in the case of an emergency, hopefully it would expedite their ability to know where all those shut offs are, get into the buildings a little bit easier,
018etc., etc. And so we had um asked the ESU to help us write that $13,000 grant um and we got it and then we received it. And the reason you're seeing an expense out of the general fund is because the state reimbursed us in the general fund, but we paid for it out of QC puff and so we're transferring that money back to the QC puff where we originally paid for it just get so that we can zero that out. Is that something we can advertise that we have done? I think once we get it done. Okay. Yeah. Once we get the final product, um then I think that would be something that would be great to do. And so if you you know we paid5 or $6,000 for um those grant writing services from
019the ESU and we got a $13,000 grant that first year and I don't know if Peggy's going to mention it all tonight, but uh we did get you know a big grant of 300,000 >> 325,000 um as well. So, we paid for a second year of that service and we're getting a $37,000 grant. So, it's more than paid for itself already. And she can talk more specifically about that here in a little bit. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> Are there any other questions? >> All right. Moving on to financial reports. >> Uh general fund is in pretty good shape. Uh and you can see that uh we have over 6 million in there. Uh I did ask uh Angie to do a a general fund balance comparison. So we're about 1.4 million ahead of
020where we were uh last year at this time. Um I told you guys that our tax draw in September would be significantly less because of the school tax credit. And when I I think I told you I talked to the the treasur's office and they thought, you know, maybe um instead of 2 million, maybe 1.4 4 million cuz subtract out about a 30% tax credit. When we went to admin days, I asked the financial people at NDE and they said, "Actually, what you probably need to do is take out your uh school tax credit draw that you got in May." Well, I looked that was 1.2 million. So then that means our tax draw not instead of being 2 million would be more like 800,000. And so hence the reason why you see a significantly
021higher cash balance in there now because that money's been paid by the state already into our accounts. And so you see a significantly different tax draw um in September. And so just be it looks like we're really healthy, but just know that we'll pull out a significantly less draw in September because we've already received uh some of those funds through the school tax credit. And so so just be wary of that. Uh in terms of the monthly expenditure report, we've spent right at 89% of the general fund budget. This is the last uh month of the fiscal year. We will have a few more uh claims in the next couple weeks. So, we'll try to clean up uh any of the bills we get in the next two weeks when we have our special board
022meeting on the 27th when we look uh at our potential property tax request and our budget for next year. We'll also clean up last minute uh bills at that time. Uh depreciation fund. Uh we had a lot of expenses out of there. We had furniture in all buildings. Um we had some sidewalks replaced. We had uh water heater, water softener, uh part of a roof, and so we had significant amount of payments come out of there in July. Still have another 170,000 uh to come out once Weathercraft finishes with that partial roof replacement and they should be done hopefully by by Friday. And so we had a fair amount of action in that account over the summer and late spring. We're just now getting those bills. employee benefit fund. Uh sitting in good shape there.
023Uh we'll get a few more withdrawals from there and that's teachers um just trying to make some last minute uh claims. Uh you know they prepay cafeteria plan and they'll they'll have some medical expenses or daycare expenses they'll want reimburseed for through their cafeteria plan and so that'll draw down a little bit here in in the next couple of weeks. activity fund is sitting okay, especially if we replenish it with the uh transfer of funds. And so we're sitting sitting good there. Lunch fund, we're down roughly 65,000 uh from a year ago. Hence the reason why I asked you for a $75,000 transfer from the from the general fund this month. I'll know the exact amounts here in a couple weeks when we finalize uh claims uh for the fiscal year. uh building fund. Um
024you can see that we uh uh paid for the house out of the building fund or the property on the corner of 7th and E. And uh we've got uh two more payments left on uh this new addition. We'll make one in December and one in June and that'll be paid off. So we approximately 1.3 million on this new addition and then it it's paid off. If we have a chance to pay it off early, we may. Um, so we can save a little bit of uh interest. Bond fund. Uh, no activity there. Um, we haven't had a tax levy into the bond fund since I've been here. Um, so these are all backed taxes. Uh, for the year we've received $151 in back taxes, and that's taxes that would be at least 12 years
025old. So, so we still keep the account open uh just so people can pay back taxes. And then QC puff um we did buy some checks this month. And then you can see we also um um paid for that uh school mapping and then we'll get that money reimbured out of the general fund. And then no activity in the student fee account for several months, but you'll see more activity now that school started when uh sponsors are collecting FFA and FCCLA dues. So with that, I'll be more than glad to answer any other questions you have. >> Anybody have any questions for Dr. Maker on any fun? I don't think so. >> Okay. And I will entertain a motion to approve consent agenda items 4.1 4.3. >> Second. >> Moved by Casey, seconded by Marcus.
026Donnie, Marcus, >> yes. I vote yes. Aaron, Casey, >> yes. Um board committee reports, we don't have any listed. Um board workshop and conference reports. Um we haven't gone to any recently, but we have area membership meeting coming up in this September. >> 13 days. >> Yeah. Yeah. I didn't know if it was the end of August or the beginning of September. Yes. >> And so I registered for the four of you that said you were going to go to York. I got you registered along with myself. And that's on Tuesday the 26th. Um, when it gets closer, I'll let you know. But we'll probably leave basically right after school, so we can get to York. I think registrations at 4:30. Meetings will start at 5:00. And then the very next night is uh our
027special board meeting to talk budget and property tax request for this school year. So, >> so those are coming up. >> Okay. Um, yeah, keep your eye on. I know in October too um they do the uh labor relations conference. So if there's any board member that you know I think it's September October or something where >> first week of October I think it's maybe October 7th and 8th maybe. >> Yeah that's just always a good one too if you're wanting to know more about negotiations or the ins and outs of a lot of employee stuff. So um administrative reports Dr. Thank her. >> The only thing I wanted to add to my report is a big thank you from the staff for serving the ice cream on Monday after school. Um so I know
028Steph couldn't make it cuz she had some work obligations. Um but um lots of compliments from the staff. Really appreciate the ice cream. So thank you for taking an hour or whatever out of your day and work schedule to do that. It those little things don't go unnoticed by by uh staff members. Well, thank you to those of you that were able to help with that. Hopefully stuff, you know. Thanks for setting it up. >> Yep. You're welcome. >> Yeah. I think we should probably just plan on doing that every year. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Fairly inexpensive way to say thank you to >> Nice seeing everybody, the whole staff. It was kind of a nice for them to take a deep breath and relax after the first day is always a lot and so
029like they kind of hung out in the lounge for quite a while and just kind of visited and so that was nice. >> That's good. >> Yeah. So, just want to make sure you got a thank you. >> Okay. Anything else? >> Okay. Um he says >> uh nothing in addition other than ditto. >> No, you're right. >> You're right. Okay. I'm sorry. You're right. >> Uh, so nothing really to add except really I I would probably reiterate that that the staff really did appreciate that and they were talking about it. Um, I would also say big shout out to Chad Lindsley for putting together that first day of all of our thrills and our safety pieces because that was that's a beast. So he did a nice job. >> Uh, Mr. Absolutely. Anything to
030add? >> I don't have nothing. I don't entertain any questions, but I've got nothing else. >> Okay. All right. Um, Miss Nope, I don't have anything either. Does anybody have questions? >> Okay. Um, all I can say is it's been a positive start to the year and so we're off going, but um, we are both of us excited that we got the CLSD grant. So, that'll be huge and a great benefit. We're still trying to muddle through that a little bit. Um, but the because the state got the money almost a year ago, the grant, year one of the grant runs from August to September 30th. And year two starts October 1 and then goes to September 30th the next year. Um, so for year one of the grant, we're getting um spy inter spire
031intervention materials. So, we have good intervention materials, but we don't really have a heavy duty multiensory intervention for K1 to kind of um because Wilson doesn't start till second grade for our intervention. And so, um we're investing a lot all of our year one money in Spire intervention materials and training. And then year two will be some more SPIRE and then a multi-elabic intervention for older kids. And then um we then in January of this year for through the duration of the grant um we'll work with the words program out of UNL um to come in and provide training to staff in reading instruction and then they provided reading and then they provide um like reading coaches to come in and work with each school and some other incentives. But I think it'll be a
032great thing. You know, all of that is dependent on the money continuing to come in. But regardless, when we wrote the grant, we're like, even if we get it for the first 2 years, that's still huge money. So, um it'll really fill in some of our needs cuz there was just a gap in our intervention library. And then to have that training cuz we have when we wrote the grant um we had figured out that I think what 60% of our teaching staff um that teach reading hadn't been here when we started C CLA >> and 50% of our teaching staff are in their first five years of teaching. So, you know, to be able to provide that training and then that will answer um the states need to provide that training for the teachers.
033So, and so just know the way that works from the financial side that's going to skew what the 2526 budget looks like because it does flow through our general fund. It doesn't mean any additional tax increases for our our patrons, but instead of maybe seeing a 4.2 2 or 4.3% budget increase in the general fund. You might see a 5%, but that's that extra 130,000 flowing through our account that we have to show is flowing through. And so when you see that, don't be alarmed that we've just, you know, raised a bunch of of uh expenses, 130,000 of that new increase is that grant fund that'll be to flow through our general fund. So just be aware of that before you you see the the new budget that you're having. So >> So right now
034we're just waiting for the grant award notification from the state and then they're going to schedule individual meetings with individual districts to go over their data. Um but it's going to be quick to get that done by the end of September 30th and we're wanting to get training to the staff that'll be utilizing that intervention. So it'll be fast. And then the year two got a preschool through 12th grade grant that were part of that consortium. >> Well, kudos to you guys for writing that grant. I know there wasn't a lot of single school districts that received it, but there there were some ESUs and some different things like that, but um the individual school districts. So, that's a testament to to the two of you and I know you worked with the ESU on
035doing that. And I just think that um when I saw that that came through and knowing that we were one of the few school districts that received that that was very very >> proud and Laurel Valentine had she helped us as well. So >> yeah it was it was huge and then we had to compile a lot of the information and all of that because she doesn't have that knowledge and education >> but then we could turn over that stuff to her and have her fine-tune that grant. So, um, it was really very valuable to have that grant writer through the ESU. >> It Yeah, cuz the grant itself was due the week after school was out. So, it was a fast and furious. Fast and furious. And then, of course, we received notice the
036week before we started. So, there you go. >> We didn't think we were getting it. >> Yeah, we pretty much Yeah, I guess. >> Well, >> not, but then we were surprised. >> Very good news. Very good news. All right. Uh, Miss Daniels, >> I don't have anything else to add unless anyone has any questions for me. Okay. And Mr. Helbro, um, not a whole lot to add. I do want to say, um, we currently have 170 kids out for fall sports. Um, that's middle school and high school. Somebody asked me earlier what that compared. We had 143 out last year in the fall. So, you know, we have a significant higher number of kids participating uh, this fall. So, that's good to hear. You know, 70 of those kids being football players, you know,
037um when this group made that decision a couple years ago and some of you caught some grief, but um kids are going out for it still and compared to some programs around the state that are, you know, high-f flyers are struggling to put teams together. So, again, kind of back to your guys' effort. So, thank you for that. That was 40 out for high school football. Right. >> We have 40 out for football, >> which is quite a bit higher than last year, right? >> We had 27 out last year. >> You said that was based off the final forms. I mean, are those actual >> Yeah. And that's Yeah, I told my coaches to remove anybody that hasn't showed up. So, >> cool. >> Remind me remind me the dates for the next two-year
038schedule for football award. >> October 1st. October. this October, right? >> Make a decision in October. >> So, pretty much next month. Yeah. We'll have to make a decision. >> Eight man versus 11 man. Is that what you're saying? >> Yeah. The new classification will come out. It'll put us wherever we are. And yeah, we'll have to >> I did I did read that they were going to come up with a third division for eight. >> Yeah, there are three levels of eight. We still wouldn't um meet any of those thresholds, but uh you know, Mr. Hurl Brock and I had preliminary conversation. The thought being we at least stay one more two-year cycle with eight band and then see how it goes because we've had success last year. We'll have some success, but um
039the schedule might look a little different a year from now and just um yeah, with that third tier you're talking about, does that change things as far as playoff eligibility? with playoff eligibility. What we're going the new thing is it's a balancing committee and the new balancing committee is going to take allow schools to pretty much apply for op down and be eligible um based on a school's demographics. Um we fit a lot of those demographics. um if we can stay in C2 football because it's pretty much you can drop down one class and they'll let you still stay eligible. So, we are at least going to apply for that. Uh we fit a lot of that criteria that they're asking. Um >> things like poverty, free or free lunch numbers, fed population, >> you
040know, past history, participation numbers. Um, so I mean we fit a lot of the criteria. Um, but you know whether they'll let us drop down and be eligible in 8, I don't know. >> Is that a yearbyear or is that a two-year thing too? >> My guess is it would be a two-year thing. I don't know if I've actually heard them say if you have to apply for it every year to be eligible, but that's one of the new committees that it's going to go into effect for the next cycle. >> And we're going to be borderline because we have some big classes. So it might be a mute point in that we might be C1. >> Yeah, for C1 otherwise it' be a mute point. >> Then you'd have to opt down to C2
041and our big thing is 8 man versus 11 man for numbers. You know, numbers look good right now, but we also have a very big, you know, we have a really prominent senior, you know, senior class. So like I said, everything can change in a hurry, you know. Right. Yeah. >> Well, we'll look forward to that discussion next month. >> Yes. >> Okay. All right. Thank you very much. Um, real quick, I just want to uh give a shout out to the custodial and maintenance crews for getting all the buildings ready for school for this week and all of the work that was done and just driving by in the summer and seeing everything that was going on. Uh, was only half not even half the stuff that was probably going on within the buildings.
042And so just from the board, we appreciate all the support staff that that get everything ready for the first day, too. So >> the rain was challenging this summer cuz they were mowing every four and 5 days. So there were a few things they wanted to get done, some additional things that they didn't get to, but that's cuz they were spending a lot more time in the mower. You know, normally in July, you can go at least a week without mowing some areas, maybe even 10 days. And they were still mowing every four and 5 days trying to keep things knocked down. So that did limit their time a little bit on some things and so we'll have to do some some things over any of the breaks that we have this fall but thank
043you for for recognizing this that >> nice to see we didn't have a bunch of leaks with all the rain you had >> leaks >> I heard some horror stories in Columbus with some schools that got some big issues cuz some buildings were not being watched over the summer >> speaking of which went good >> one leak leak >> they had to come fix and um >> they've already been there >> and it's been there and it hasn't leaked since. It didn't leak in all that rain. >> They came in first end of June and it hasn't leaked since. >> So that's that's a relief. >> All right, we'll move on to our discussion action items. 8.1 discuss, consider, take action on updated policy 5013 prek admission. >> You guys already approved the new tuition
044prices this spring. I just forgot to bring the policy to you to put those same dollar amounts in the policy that you have approved months ago. So, this is really just a formality. That's the only thing I forgot to do is change the dollar amounts in the policy. So, >> yeah, I was hoping it wasn't anything big cuz I couldn't change. >> No, that's all. No, that's all it was. I forgot to update the prices in the >> Yeah, you should write that in the notes or something like what is different from >> Sorry. Yeah. No, nothing but the prices which you already approved. >> All right. All right. I'll entertain a motion to approve policy 513 prek admission. So >> second. >> Moved by Donnie, seconded by Marcus. >> Casey, >> yes. >> Aaron,
045>> yep. >> Justin, >> yes. >> I vote yes. Tony, >> yes. >> Marcus, >> yes. >> 8.2 to discuss with their take action on selling the house um to be moved owned by the school district located at 712 East Street and um giving superintendent authority to sign all related paperwork on behalf of the district. >> Yeah, I'd like to use codes of realy like we did the last three times. Uh do some uh closed bid u process. you know, we'll give people 3 weeks or whatever time we want to to submit closed bids >> and then uh you know, give them like 6 months. >> Actually, three people. I've already had personal contacts with three people who are interested. Two have lots already purchased. One in town, one out of a town, and the
046third person is in the process of buying a lot. And so, um, we may get as many at as three bids. Is there I don't know how that works. Does that um so KOA would handle that then does does the bidding do they go back and forth or it's just one bid I submit it I hope I said the biggest one if I >> usually it's closed bid if you submit a bid and then I go down and meet with Bob and we open them up and review them and because part of it will also be when they're going to move it. You know, somebody says I need 18 months to move it and they did a little bit more than somebody else who says I can have it moved in 3 months then and
047what I told him is 6 months would be nice because then it'd be gone by next spring. >> Negotiate a sweet commission considering he's selling the same house. >> Okay. And so and it's actually a personal property sale, not a because you're not selling the lot. You're selling the house that's on it to be moved. And so I'm just asking your permission so we can move forward and get that house moved off of there. >> I'll make the motion. >> Second. >> Anybody has anything to say? >> Yeah. Does anybody have any other questions? >> Okay. It's been moved by Casey, seconded by Marcus. Um, do you have any question? No questions about it. Justin, you're fine. >> I'm good. >> Okay. All right. Then we'll go to a vote. Marcus, >> yes. >> Bonnie,
048>> yes. >> I vote yes. Justin, >> yes. >> Mhm. >> And uh Casey, >> yes. >> Okay. Um I mean, it's good news, I guess, for a lot of people here. We're It's a short meeting tonight. We're going to enter into executive session. Um we're going to enter into executive session for the sole purpose of a strategy session for real estate negotiations. Um, and before we make the motion to do that, um, it just a little bit different than what we've done in the past. Usually we have executive session in the boardroom and then everybody leaves. Um, I think from going forward, we're going to the board is going to go into the small conference room for executive sessions and and then if you if you want to stay, you can stay. In case
049there's board action after our executive session, obviously you're free to go. or if you don't want to stay, that's fine. Um, but just with our recordings, I just think this is best practice and so that's what we're going to do. So, with that, um, I will entertain a motion to enter executive session, um, to protect the interests of the district for the sole purpose of, um, a strategy session for real estate negotiations. >> So, moved. >> Second. Moved by Donnie, seconded by Justin. Casey, >> yes. >> Aaron, >> Justin, >> yes. >> Donnie, >> yes. Yes. Marcus. >> Okay. Okay. So, >> 7:41. >> Yep. So, and I I I need to just for open meetings. I have to reiterate we are going into executive session um to protect the public interest for a strategy
050session for real estate negotiations. And I would caution the public, we're going to leave that recording so that way we don't have to um paste two recordings together on YouTube. And so anything you say while we're gone is being recorded on there. So if you want to have a private conversation, you might want to step out in the hall or outside and we can come get you um when we enter back into regular session so you don't miss anything. So, but just wanted to caution you in case if you want to talk bad about me and not have it be recorded. >> Remember, you guys, you are free to >> Dr. Baker, do you want me to stick around for the middle school volunteer code or >> I need at least one of you administrators
051stick around so that way these guys can leave their stuff here. It's okay. If the rest of you administrators want to leave, I'd be fine. >> Are you staying, Brian? I mean, I can stay. I don't want to have you stay. >> I have a middle school coach for volunteers, so it's not answer. [Music] >> I know. I know. [Music] Okay, >> thanks. [Music] Okay. [Applause] Most days [Music] probably find your wire. No. This is my life right now. >> Yes, this is just >> I know I was looking for my wife. >> I know. I had in my purse, >> but I can't decide if I like out >> and I'm just like this all >> disappointed in myself right now. >> I'm better than this. >> By the way, I will say that
052phrase times. >> Maybe I'm not my phone system. I said >> it's not on me. >> I didn't go into my office. I said probably this woman saying find out >> and so they didn't make and find out how to make your other zone the same as one >> because they said they're probably by default they probably shut off or say none you know under some category you know it's stuff like that just but it takes hours just trying to explain it because you Well, no. Luckily, I went down there to see it and I'm like their it was I don't need to say anything cuz he was listening the conversation just over his face to think that's cool, >> right? >> And so they were there. They had to oversp [Music] cuz they had
053stickers. >> Just stickers everywhere. I had stickers all over. And I bought a hair dryer because the only way I could lose is let that glue. What I what I found out because I tried to put glue on or whatever it was and until you heat them up. >> I told you Charlotte had her surgery. I said if you're using a haird dryer she is cuz I said it only takes about 10 seconds maybe. I said it's not a long cuz I was bus and she was getting like if you burn out my hair dryer I'm going to be ticked off. >> Yeah. Okay. So, I went up the Family Dollar when I took that first batch over to Paul and I bought one and I was like, "Take it out of the box. Hopefully,
054it worked. If not, if it's not strong enough, let me know." You know, cuz my daughter is not exactly the most highly quality stuff that you gave me. They're going to burn. >> Yes. Exactly. >> Get some more spray, too. >> Yeah. I just got some in. So, I do have the paint is amazing. I'm going to get back. Oh, we figured it out your elbow. >> And so when he told me that he needed more, I sent to Amazon and ordered it. It's called Blaze It. It does a really nice job. >> And um those ones look really nice. >> Yeah. Yeah, they look big. And this these all came from And so they don't do they don't do anything, you know what I mean, with them. They don't beat them around. It's not
055like, you know, Yeah. They're not like empty. You know what I mean? It was still sitting there. >> Oh, your ass. Yeah. No, I mean the phones you were empty because nobody, you know, bought the place yet. So, >> I mean, oh, yeah. They're just sitting there. >> Yeah. I told him once about it and I was like, >> for sale, do you want to get rid of the phone system just because, you know, and he's like, no. We're going to keep it here. >> He didn't buy it. >> Box and then he rented the place. So Joe owns it. >> So are they trying to sell it? >> No. No. We rented it from him. We rented it from Joe. So I bought the phone system as a depreciable asset. >> Yeah. Absolutely. for
056example. So >> yeah, they're like just you know the next person I move in. Yes, you got something to work on. That's what business [Music] is a monthly thing. So another way you can get rid of your, you know, wind stream or whatever your carrier is because if you're like I use so and so, you know, regardless of what you're like, how much does it pay a year a business expense or schools can't really do it, but I mean most business are like taking lines over nothing new and they're like Okay. Yes. So, but yeah, it's it's it gets interesting because it's all based on and so you know all of the IT guys want they don't put their own name in them which I understand the problem is you got to do exactly right
057on and these phones have to be able to go out to the internet because they're going to the server down at Dallas, Texas or Nevada or to Las Vegas. They have like three data centers >> and so I never thought of running out of server or no server. >> Yeah. >> So I mean and they work great because they're available now. So if you lose your internet they can go to any phone or number of cell phones that you want to. So you're never really down and as soon as it comes back on the server sees it and puts you back online. So I mean people always used to worry about well are we going to be able to be recalled you know >> and so yeah but you know more and more now [Music]
058kids you know but it was like when it first came know that when my first one was in May, >> you know what I mean? And I'm like, >> oh yeah, that was me. You know, I don't know if this, >> you know, I mean, oh yeah, a brick. Yeah. And now you can take like, oh boy, this is going to really take off. And then everybody wants to be able to be available. So they're now the kids got it, you know what I mean? And so I mean at the young age I just think it would be bad but now guys have a computer in school and so then you go to that and you're like >> wow you got a computer on your phone you know for the most part >> and so
059now they're coming out with these games you know and and people just you know they're almost addicted to that because one of my buddies we were driving somewhere and he was just so quiet and he goes I thought he was text or something, you know, >> and pretty soon about 135 minutes go like, "Okay, are you all right?" I'm just like, I'm just playing a game and I go, "Why don't you talk, man?" They can't do that. He would do that later. It's called I said, "What?" He said something like Royal Royal Kingdom or something like that. I don't know what it is. I don't waste my time cuz I don't have enough by the time I get home trying to keep and a lot of times your mind's going. So you're like laying there.
060>> Yeah. You can't fall asleep. You know, >> I did not expect a call from those guys at 6:00 tonight. >> I'm sure you get some pretty wacky calls and some pretty wacky. >> Oh yeah. And then I still have an advertisement thinking it's amazing. Nobody calls me unless >> they're over because I have a yellow page which I need to get >> people looking there and I'm like so do you like no I have nothing to do with TVs. It says right in the ad. So then they keep going on and I'm like I don't do call shapers in Lincoln. They're right on, you know, O Street, 48th and wherever it is. >> And I'm just like, yeah, I used to get calls for it must have been hardland or something over by Elorn
061that did antennas, like big antennas. I don't know if they were microwaves or what. I kept getting calls for that. I'm like, no, I don't want to microwave towers, you know. So, yeah, stuff like that because somewhere along the lines, >> I'm sure you did. Then we got, you know, under the the heavy for me processing. Oh, do you guys process like and then my number was like one member off of of cellular company and like it was one member off from the Lancaster Medical Society and it was one number off from apparently something at the heart institute. I have people calling me and I'm like slow down. Slow down. They said heart attack, you know. And I'm like, "Uh, no. You take punch down to and scissors and meal." >> Yeah. Walking in with
062that, you know. But now she's and it's finally started to take her off. But once in a while, I still get people that will call her about a medical thing >> and I'm like, I have nothing to do, you know? Well, you don't like Oh, no. I didn't tell us what you want. No problem. We're wiring. No problem. But I said I told you. And then they realize they'll look at their number and they're like, "Oh, I'm sorry." Cuz mine for Lincoln 483 4,000 and medical was 48 4800. Somebody else was 4600. You know what I mean? So they're just getting one digit off. And a lot of time I got short fat fingers. I understand. You know, you can get as small as some of the dial pads are, you know? >> Yeah. >>
063It's just the older folks I just >> Well, do you know do you know anybody that would do that? You know, I'm like, well, who's your who's your questions on that? Well, um, there you go. I said, well, do you know their number? And I'm like, I have no idea what their number is, you know. So, anyway, >> yeah, we were just joking about that. It's like, do they even put out, you know, phone books anymore? >> No, we got a red book like a couple years ago. See, and I I used to have one in there, too. And then there was a yellow book like called Death or something like that. >> Oh, yeah. And it went from like this cuz it was multiple, you know, it went all the way up to like
064stand, you know, around and um and came not all that long ago. And it was like this, you know, I was like, "Wow, there's like nobody in here." You know, the advertisement, you know, is all online for people. They don't really, you know, go to a phone. It used to be that you'd use yellow paint, you know, find something and completely different. I remember I grew up in Omaha, so we had to wor California that year and we were like, LA, you know, and I said, I need somebody to drive with me. I said, "I have no idea." This is, you know, back in, you know, 85. That was before cell phones really became a big thing, you know, and this was one of the first manufacturers that ever did telephones. And so they were,
065it was called Thai TI, and they were the manufacturer of this company in California. And one of my buddies worked there. That's one you know come back all over the place. So I went out there and it was before we got married and luckily after I'm like I have no idea there's something I'm not even sure what direction and so partnered super nice guy in fact it was so funny because we came out which we don't like that screams out that looking around and I'm like, "Dude, there's like only two lanes." He goes, "And the traffic's going the other way." And I go, "Yeah, we're on two lane highway." And he's like, "Oh, this is wild." So, we got back to we go out to the pasture where the lakes were and stuff, you know,
066and he's just like, "Oh my god, does marijuana grow like everywhere out here?" And I go, "Yeah." I go, "That's it's just wild." And he goes, "You've got to be kidding me." And he's like, "Look at that." Go, "What are you even an expert?" And he goes, "Oh, I smoke it quite regularly." And I was just like, "Kid." And he was trying to take some, put it in his fly back in California. I said, "Listen, you do what you want." And I said, "You get you don't know me, man." You know, we'll just give you a headache. >> Yeah. The birds like >> turtle love it, man. If you want to go get a bunch of barrels, >> I remember that several years ago. >> So, did he stick some of his food? >> I
067don't know. I don't know. >> That's just one of those I don't want. >> Yeah, exactly. It's like >> you just do. [Music] He didn't call me from, you know, so I'm assuming he made it home. But that was hilarious. Yeah. I remember hearing stories like that. Charlotte and I after we got married, we lived in Omaha for a while. We went to an Omaha church. And so we were part of the choir. And so they brought in uh the Brooklyn Tabernacle uh kids choir. And so they flew in and then they bust out and they were just amazed. It's like space between the town or something. It's like, well, you drive to the opposite. Man, it was so dark at night cuz we were like out like he said. I never even realized that,
068you know, because like you're saying, you know, when you get kids out there, you don't know that you live only one, you know, like Anaheim and then this and this and this and you're like everywhere. It was terrible. I ate it, you know. >> And then we went to went to like a place because you just you don't get you just let the traffic, you know, stand and then about 6:30, you know what I mean? We went back and we are not living here. So as soon as I did, did she have a California dream or anything? She was, you know, but she understood, you know, then I actually got her down week before we got we didn't take honey. We went to Super Saver and bought groceries and they come up here. >> Seriously.
069>> Yeah. We're walking around. We're throwing stuff in there, you know. We finally got some money, you know what I mean? From the wedding and I'm like, you know, and stuff like that. And it's like now we got some money. We can actually get some stuff, you know, you know, and stuff like that. We didn't do a lot. It wasn't I don't think we do 10 years because that's just how it was. >> Yeah. I mean it it wasn't that important and then you start and so >> that'll put a budget but now the company that I work for in fact one of the guys I originally started with that weekend he worked for me now and his brother actually started the company but I didn't know cuz I was I was working for none.
070I was told we were going to like the first or my name. >> And I go, "Time out." >> Yeah. You smell and I go, "You used me to get your dealership because I was certified and everything." And I said, "I'm gone." >> Just like I >> Yeah. I went back and to classes off [Music] and I told Mrs. And I don't know why she goes out [Music] to lunch and that's it. And I'm like, we used to have this back in the day. We had I remember Tom flying us out and driving to different locations because we were supposed to get another tash at that time another in that area. Well, there was one like, "Hey, where do you got your clothes?" They're looking at I need to go to Arkansas. I got stopped
071at Kmart. I had a toothpick, a shirt, pair of underwear, jumped in my truck, drove about I don't know 10, 12 hours and it was in likeville, Arkansas or something. I drive up and there are white turkey feathers flying all over the place. Oh my god. And this is the end. And then answer it for so long before they finally gave you the selection. And I go, "Guys, nobody is going to stay on the phone. We'll see you guys." I said performance, billing, insurance, you know, whatever you want to say. Give them the digit and go on, you know, really down, you know. So anyway, I felt bad about it, but nobody was calling in and getting anybody >> and so yeah, that was easy. We made a recording and then call started coming in.
072I called Tom was like a minute and a half. But it was a huge amount of donation >> and we gave natural gas to everybody through that >> and you know so that was a huge account >> um well it it was street right it used to be okay or it's pretty close to Charles whatever he's called you I mean all the buildings down there and then they had hostile take over and they went to Chicago, you know, everything. >> Yes. And I mean it was a huge and what happened like nothing >> and and that was I don't know how long ago was probably 20 25 years ago and so she got out of it and I mean he was he [Music] is 8:05. Yeah. Oh, 805. We're out of executive session at 8:05.
073>> Sorry, waking up at my computer. All right, next item on the agenda, 8.4, discuss board policy 8130R, board principles of conduct. Um, I asked Dr. Danker to put this on the agenda. Um, I felt like it definitely needed to be reviewed. And one of the things that I think is important as elected officials, board members of a school district, is that we hold our staff accountable. We hold our administrators accountable. And we do all of that through policy. And this particular policy holds the board accountable. and we're held accountable to we have to hold each other accountable to um being good servants of the taxpayers of our staff and of our students. And um there's been some things that have happened um over the last couple of months that I just want to make
074sure that we I'm not going to read the entire policy, but there are a few items within this policy that I think need to be revisited and we all need to be reminded of. Number one, um I'll just read the the beginning part and then I'll go through those points. The board of education is committed to ensuring the public, staff, and students that schoolboard members will govern through policy. In accordance with this belief and by adoption of this policy, each board member commits to following the board code of conduct. The members of Davis City Public Schools Board of Education willingly agree to the best of their ability to, and here's where I'm going to highlight just a few, recognize that authority rests not with individual members of the board, but with a legal session of
075the board, respecting and abiding by the majority decision of the board. We don't always have to have a 60 vote. That's okay. But when the vote is made at the board table, that's the vote and that's the position of the district. The next one I want to highlight is a little bit further down on that first page. Act only as a member of the board and do not assume any individual authority when the board is not in session and take no private action that will compromise the board administration or the district. And that can look a really different in a lot it can look a lot of different ways. um you're thinking of any private action that is going to in somehow um compromise the ability of an administrator of a staff member to do
076their job in a professional way or you know in an effective way. Um so that can be something that we do. It can be something that is um just a lot more visible too. But there's a lot of things that can go into that one statement. And then the last one that I want to highlight is um recognize that the board president will speak as the official voice of the board. That part, this is the next part that I'm more concerned about. A single board member will not represent the board without consent of the board. And board members making personal statements in any format, including speeches, articles, social media posts, etc. should clearly state these statements are their opinion and not the position of the board. And I think that we need to be extremely
077aware as elected officials that it is very difficult for us to remove our schoolboard hat when we walk around our community that some members of our community will forget you're not, you know, nobody cares that you're a schoolboard member until they care that you're a schoolboard member. And um but there's a there's a lot of people in our community that um that they'll always see us as that. And so when we speak in any format, we need to make sure that we're representing the district and the board and that our all of our actions do reflect back on the staff, the administration, our students, and our district. And our goal should be to advocate in and keep this district in the best light possible. And um we can do that in a variety of ways
078but one of the main ways you know in these days is um how we how we speak in public and how um we post things and we make comments. So, I want everybody to be extremely aware that um that it is seen and that you should be reflective of your actions as you move through social spaces because you are a board member and you do have responsibilities. And I think that it's extremely important that if we're holding everybody else accountable that we hold ourselves accountable and that's why I asked um for this item to be put on the agenda. Um, I wasn't expecting a huge discussion about this topic. If anybody wants to discuss it, obviously I'm not going to I'm not going to stop that. But um, that's all I have that's all I
079have to say about about that agenda item. So, if anybody has any comments or um, questions about it, can I say just a couple brief things? So, I'm assuming that it's more or less aimed at me, which is fine. And um just a few things that I want to point out since you did as well is um when it says encourage individual board members free expression of ideas, listen without judgment, engage in thoughtful deliberation, and maintain open communication between all stakeholders. That post got out to more stakeholders than our minutes, than probably a video or anybody here. So it it was engaging all stakeholders and that's part of our policy. And I also think stakeholders need to be aware of how much we spent. Our minutes don't even say how much that was spent on
080that that we just approved. The minutes do not even reflect how much we spent. So in regards to me posting that and in my eyes, it's nothing but transparent. I have no problem if you guys want to post anything that you disagree with me on that the way with the way that I voted. more power to you. Doesn't bother me because every single time I voted, I can stand behind whatever I did without any hesitation whatsoever with facts, statistics, or what I feel like is morally acceptable. And the other thing I'm going to point out is this policy also says that we constantly uphold all applicable local, state, and federal laws, rules, and policies. So when we have things like federal laws and policies like the Trump administration with the DE DEI stuff, we don't
081abide by that according to the court. Our state government, no our state, our state government also our our uh governor has also said that those that is not going to fly. We don't abide by that according to these policies. So, I guess what I'm saying is if you don't like what I post, don't look at it. [Music] >> Okay. I just want to clarify, especially because this is a public meeting, that we do abide by all state, local, and federal laws and the references to um any federal or state um changes in um different um I don't know how you would say ideas. Those are executive orders. Those are not laws. So there is a definite distinction between them. So um these are our policies of our district and so I'm >> pointing them out.
082Thank you for for your response. I know um yeah we can you you can disagree and >> that's fine. >> Absolutely. >> Anything else you guys want to say? >> The one thing I I guess I'll add one. The one thing I would say, and this is for all six of you, not just Aaron, if you're going to post on social media about school related um events or activities, the one thing I guess I would ask superintendent is to make it clear that you're speaking um as an individual and not on behalf of the board. >> And that's not just for you. That's that's for everybody. I and I'm asking that just because it makes my job easier. You know, if you say, you know, this is my belief, you know, as Casey Khman, and
083you go into whatever it is, it just makes it a little bit more clear to everybody that you're not speaking on behalf of the whole board or of the district. And I guess that's all I would ask any of you to do is that just make it clear to people that you're speaking, you know, as an individual and not um on behalf of the district. That's fine. And the last thing I'll say to that is the last I check my personal Facebook pages and Casey Kman's or Downing is pretty self-explanatory that when I post on my page, I'm not speaking on behalf of anybody else here. I think that's pretty obvious. Last I checked, a Facebook page doesn't have anything else to do with anybody else else's opinion except that individuals. >> Yeah. I can't
084require any of you to do that. I'm just asking you. I'm asking that as a favor to everybody. >> That's fine. If it makes people feel better, what I can go do is I can go back and I'll repost it and I'll put this is my opinion as Eric Baruka if you want more people to see it. >> Yeah. Yeah. I I don't I'm not even talking about a specific post. I'm just asking. I'm just asking. >> No, I'll do that. I told Stephanie I can do that >> in in in general. And that and again, I'm not even speaking just I'm, you know, equally talking to the five of you. It just it just makes it very clear and it makes my job easier to be quite honest. That's what I'm asking. >> Yes,
085you're asking us to be adults and we can do that. >> So, >> all right. There isn't anything else to discuss. >> Can I ask why I'm not being an adult? I I I'm I want I put the I put the policy on the agenda. This is not a personal attack on anybody. This was directed to all board members and we don't need to make it personal and we're not going to. >> That's fine. Let's not make it personal then. >> Perfect. We're going to move on to personnel. 9.1 discuss, consider, take action on volunteer coaches aid for middle school football. >> Mr. Brock, anything you want to say about this? No, we just have uh a husband of one of our staff members uh played a little of college football wants to get involved
086with our football program um with our middle school program with our increased numbers. I think it makes sense to to allow him to to volunteer to purely volunteer to help out with with our middle school which I think he'll be a great addition. I've talked to uh those coaches. They also believe he has a lot of knowledge to bring um you know especially with you know his position. So >> all right um >> no. >> Okay then I will entertain a motion to um approve the volunteer coaches aid for middle school football. I'll make that motion. >> Okay Justin I'll second. >> All right. Moved by Justin. Seconded by Casey Donnie. >> Yes. >> Idle. Yes. >> Casey. >> Yes. >> Justin. >> Yes. >> Marcus. >> Yes. Right. Uh future discussion on action items.

088just finalized a rough draft late this afternoon. And so I haven't even had time to review it. Um again, I had to kind of walk away for a couple days and then look at the numbers again. But preliminarily, that's what it looks like. >> All right. Then with that, um those that should be the only thing on the agenda for our August meeting unless something strange comes up. >> Yeah, there'll be some late some last minute bills. Um I can't think of much else. >> Yeah, there shouldn't be much else. Maybe one or two other things is all, but nothing off the top of my head. >> Be a short agenda, not a short meeting. >> Yes, that's a good >> Okay, >> be prepared. >> Yeah. >> All right. With that, I'll entertain a
