001stand one nation indivisible and justice for all. I salute the flag of the state of New Mexico. >> Robbie, would you please uh lead us in? >> Heavenly Father, we just love you so much, Lord God. We just thank you so much to come together in this as a community and back school business. We just pray for your leadership and your guidance and what's best for the community decision that you have. We just pray that you lead us in everything we do and everything we do. We love you. We thank you. It's in Jesus name we pray. until this meeting in order. I want to welcome uh all of our guests, uh teachers, parents. Uh Cody wasn't able to be here. He's our president and the vice president. Uh so I'm sitting in tonight. Um
002so I have a question based on the agenda. So that I mean you're more than welcome to sit in on the whole meeting. But would uh is anyone opposed to changing the agenda up or we can move on to the items that the guests are here for to speak. you know, >> all the reports in agendos. Could I have a motion to change the agenda? All those in favor signify by saying I. What was the you have the motion changes move? >> Yes. Uh the motion >> Yeah. would based on the person that made it >> what's the amendment the public comment um the first >> yeah second >> so just to share the general rules with you all. Uh it was posted that we allow up to 15 minutes uh once we meet that
00315 minutes since that's what >> 15 minutes per person 15 minutes. >> It it was 15 minutes on the notice. >> So that's minimal. So, what the board uh you know, we'll have to ask and make sure the board is okay. Uh once if we run into the 15 minutes and there are still folks that want to speak, each person being allowed two minutes to speak, okay, then we'll extend that 15 minutes. Uh so, let's see if we hit the 15 minutes and then if we need to exceed that, the the board will have a discussion. uh we'll decide how we want to proceed and then if we so choose then we'll extend it beyond 15 minutes. Okay. All right. So would you mind uh timing the two minutes? Okay. So we'll take the first
004public comment. >> And just so you all know, this is also being recorded. Robin Dunn, Mr. Cl, members of the board, thank you for the few moments that that you're allowing for community input to them. A few years ago, my granddaughter started attending sixth grade in the Corona schools, one of the few schools with in-person learning. She thrived in this school's environment at the time. She turned her academics around and her whole experience was just Thank you all for that. However, Corona schools today is a much different environment. It is in disarray in a state of decay. I pulled up to one of the doors a week ago and again tonight to see weeds a foot tall. The buildings are old, but they shouldn't look neglected. It looks as if no one cares. I know
005that's not true for most of the staff, but to echo Lauren Patterson's comments at the last month's board meeting, it does go to that perception. I'm hoping that the security issues that were raised last month have at least been addressed even though they have not been completely resolved. Miss Brandenburgger asked that something be done starting the morning after the April board meeting. Thank you for that. Mr. Cl, you pretty much dismissed her out of hand. So, I am curious what has been done. Nothing as far as the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office can tell me. Nothing as far as the parents and community know. No note or call to be vigilant and to urge kids to use the buddy system. Nothing. Mr. Cluck, you claimed at the last board meeting that the man quote saw where
006the cameras were and walked away backwards end quote. Quote that he shielded himself end quote. Maybe nothing there, but who can say has the sheriff's office seen that pain? >> I can't respond to public comment until we go to >> Was there any followup? Are the known sexual offenders being watched? The sheriff's office has no knowledge of any in the area. There's not one listed. If the community doesn't know what's going on, they cannot watch. And I really don't think locking the kids out of the school is an adequate answer to this issue. I think it's going to be harder. It's going to be much harder in the present day for our kids to thrive. >> Thank you for your time. >> Thank you. Appreciate it. Okay. And we're going to try to keep we're
007not trying to be rude to let you all off, but we got to have some order in here so everybody has a chance to talk. >> Well, I shouldn't have introduced myself. That's what >> appreciate that. >> Okay. Thank you. Next individual. >> Okay, that'll be me. You guys, if you don't know me, my name is Michaela Eldridge. Um, my husband and I take our kids in Corona this year and we feel like this is home for us. My kids are the first ones in four generations to not go to Capan and we left Capan for safety issues. There was issues that we brought up and they were not addressed and they were ignored. Personally, we want to be here. I want to be here. I'm looking at being a part of the school. we're
008super happy, but I feel like sometimes expectations are not met because they're not understood. So, I'm going to speak for myself or the parent and get very clearcut expectations when it comes to the issues of the school. Anytime student safety comes up, board admin, I expect butts out of chairs. We're locked in. We're all on the same page here. And I feel like that's what happened to Captain. And I don't think they meant it. They're good people. But when I'm like, "Hey, I'm concerned about this." Like I contact. Yes, ma'am. Me, too. We got it. I can't tell you how to run a school. But I will tell you the mistakes they made were the communication was horrendous. I don't know if high school got a letter. Elementary did get a letter from Miss Randa
009and it was fantastic and I appreciate it. As you move forward, I want to know. I don't care about a lot of things. 99% of things academically in the sense of you don't love your teacher. I don't care. You won't always love your bus. Your boss can move on. But this is the only issue that I'm super serious about to the point where we've pulled our kids out of Captown and we drive 50 miles one way to Corona. It's been the best decision we've ever made. But I hope, again, I don't have an opinion on how to fix it, but I hope you will be super diligent and extremely extremely good at communicating with me as a parent on how to do. And that's all. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Vice Vice President, members
010of the board. Thank you for uh letting me do this on Zoom. I had an LFC meeting today and uh presentation the electric co-op association and got stuck in Albuquerque traffic. So, uh, so I apologize for being late and not there in person, but I came directly to the board the day that the incident happened with my daughter. But it's obvious that there are security issues above and beyond that one incident. and I am looking forward to hear the proposals that are going to ensure that my two greatest assets, my daughter and my wife are protected. So, I look forward to hearing what the board proposals are and I also look forward to swift action on those items. Thank you. >> Thank you, Lauren. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Patterson. Sorry. Very well. Okay. Next.
011Hey, I have my notes as well. Okay. I'm speaking tonight to call the school district to put in place resources for consistent practices and accountability for fall. These resources include a student handbook as well as an updated schoolboard handbook. These are for the protection for all of us, students, parents, educators, administrators, and yourself, the school board. The latest student handbook that is available to parents in the high school and students is from 2023 and 2024 online as well. There is not the elementary handbook. The most recent available schoolboard handbook is dated 827 2014. I would like an updated handbook for both students and yourself. Within these handbooks, I am requesting disciplinary metrics that line out consistent practices that will hold all of us accountable. I am calling I am calling for accountability for our students.
012Children need to be held accountable for their actions. We need framework around this. The students are currently not being held for actions are not being held accountable for their actions. We need to find matrix for the instigator, the victim and all the bullying that occurs here. I am also calling for active early communication. Can a student expect a double negative discipline structure? That is a question for the board. I am also calling for an active early comm Oh, sorry. As a parent of a student in this school district, I have the right to have the access to these resources and I should be able to locate these resources at ease when I am looking for them. When can I expect to have these updated? We are no longer a small town. These students these days
013have access to multiple resources and social social media applications that no longer heed to corona being treated as a small town school. We need to learn to be purpose and we need boundaries. All of which will be provided with these boundaries and matrix that are currently lacking in this school system. I leave you with these three questions. I do not expect an answer today, but rather something for you to think about and discuss among yourself. Are all students being held to the same stand? Are all employees being held to the same standard? Is public schools being holding themselves to the same standard? Thank you. >> Next. Thank you, Vice Chair. and superintend allowing me to have a comment. I uh one thing my name is Patrick Pa. I have a son and daughter in this
014and I one thing I just was curious about is how we go about uh notifying the family I guess or the parents of kids that are being interviewed in school. I notice I know there's a situation in the school that's going on. I understand privacy policy, things like that that we can't uh pass a lot of stuff around, but I don't like seeing my kids uh or my son, I'll be more specific, my son being interviewed in class or in uh with French school numerous times over a situation that has happened months ago and we still don't even know what it's about, but my son continues to be interviewed and in a private setting and uh if Nothing else I would like to be able to be asked as a parent to be able to
015sit in on that conversation if I can. Uh I think that'd be the least of it is I understand that you don't send. We did get a letter once uh here recently, but uh I would just like to see more communication on why that would be I I think every parent here would have the same consideration. Thank you for your time. Thank you, sir. Next. Um, I'll just read an email that I had sent already, so um, you can kind of catch my concerns from it. Um, hello all. I took the time to listen to the last board meeting in it in its entirety and I can't say that it was an easy listen for me. I've talked to most of the board about my concerns dealing with the issues of safety at school as
016an accurate depiction of what is really going on is not being expressed to the board. Our school is the pinnacle of our community. It is the center that brings us all together. If there's one thing we can agree on is that we all want the best for our kids. I'm not here to judge anyone else's job or what they are getting done or not getting done. I do however feel that communication between the school and the board relies heavily on administrators and I disagree with what was portrayed in the last meeting. To sit in those chairs and dictate that the school has no responsibility to keep kids or staff safe after school hours is absurd. Most every single day of the school year, we have children at our at our school after school hours for
017school related events. To simply decide that the problem is that the staff doesn't have proper child care when a stranger approaches a suspicious matter, a child one of our of one of our own while she is at school at a schoolmandated meeting is heartbreaking and the fear betrayal of our standards as a community and a school. This attitude is far from the school that I know and love. Will be prepared to join our family. But this is not joining our family. Uh it is my understanding that the board is looking seriously into fencing solution for the playground and school grounds. I appreciate that more than you know. As elementary students are playing, if we can just buy them a little time and a boundary to notice that someone is not in the right location, I
018think that will give them a fighting chance. It may not be feasible to ask for an armed guard who, like many teachers, can't be everywhere, but allowing students to have time to see and process potential scary circumstances, at least we can do. Um, I just don't want to run out of time. So, in closing, I would like to say that no person that is truly walking our hallways and seeing our kids and staff can say that we are completely thriving in the current state at our school. Good. Next. Thanks, Aubrey. Thank you for allowing me to speak to the board. I guess the security issue is is kind of right now. And um you know, one of the issues is is the school is in the middle of man camp just like and there's all
019kinds of transient workers here. Um and that I'm not a fan of the wind is no secret, but that's that's what has happened. And so that being the case, then there has to be increased security for the school. You've got campers on both sides. You don't know who's here. Um, and the other thing I'm I'm upset about, I'm glad to hear that the elementary school was notified, but the high school students were not notified of the problem. And you just had, you know, an incident two years ago with a high school student and but you don't tell the parents or the high school students that there's an issue and they're just as at risk. And the board person who said that the high school kids can take care of themselves is I think it's wrong.
020Um there I'm wondering if there was assembly call to talk about danger stranger with all the kids involved. Um you know the other thing uh an idea might be since you can't hire somebody I think there'd be volunteers to do parent patrol. I mean, it happens in Albuquerque. It happens in Roswell. And I think that might be a solution if if you're so worried about or we we all are concerned about uh having people here watching the kids. Um just on one side note, I'm still pretty cranky about having our granddaughter have insurance to come shoot baskets in the gym. It's not in the policy. I read where I went through the policy again today. that talks about uh people using the facilities. There's no mention of insurance. No one else was required and it
021looked like it was uh arbitrary and capricious for somebody. Thank you. >> Thank you all seated if anyone else wants to speak our 15 minutes. Uh so before I ask the board to extend the 15 minutes, is there anyone else that would like to speak? And if you do, that's fine. Okay. Uh I would like to and ask the board based on what was posted uh on the 15 minutes public comment time. Do you all have any opposition in us extending that uh to let's say up to a threshold of an hour? Okay. Including the 15 minutes we have already incurred. Everyone in favor Curtis started a motion for that. No. >> Sorry. >> You already amended it. So it's you can extend it. >> So we're going to extend the public speaking time to
022a total of an hour. Um, so Miss >> Um, so obviously I back everything that's been said. I support each one and security of course is a huge issue, but it boiled down to communication again. Um, so this year we had internal issues. We lost one of our coaches for junior high. I was not notified. I didn't know for two weeks or a week I guess before we got out and got back in had a new coach. Um we are very worried about of course the outside influences on our campus but also our children have been affected by the inside and we didn't know about it. The incidences that have happened at our school have happened in house with people who are employed here. So, better background checks, things like that. What are the guidelines?
023What are the policies that we have in place? Students, the the coaches, the teachers, the parents, and the students. Like, I I will not let my child play if I know there's an issue. I will not let my child sit in a classroom if there's an issue with that teacher. But I don't know. I I've never been told. Still never been told. It's been through the grape vine that you've heard things. So again, I think it just boils down to communication and maybe the policies that we have to back what a coach needs, what the players need, what the students and the teachers are expected to hold through this school year. And so I would just like a look at those policies and I think the handbook and things that have already been stated. Thank
024you. I have a question. If we were cut short, can I finish my second thought? >> It's ahead. >> Thank you. Um, I was also informed of a situation that happened last week on campus where a senior brought a gun, an orzo gun to school and was shooting underassman from the cafeteria down to the main building. Um, I was told when that student was asked to put the gun away, he said, "No, I'm good." And he put it in his locker. When the administrator asked again, "Can I have it?" "Nah, I'm good." And the student was asked to leave. Yes. And that's how we handled a gun on campus. >> An oro gun. >> Like one of those BB type guns or >> sorry. >> No, it's not an airsoft. It's an Orbee gun. It's
025like little balls like little gel balls that >> I would also state that this student is >> this student is on a senior trip this weekend with a shooting incident. I just to assure all of you that all of us here and I I don't I mean I think I can speak I've been here all seven years and that y'all love your kids. You know, I think you'll need to know that too and hear that from us because as far as I'm concerned, any of you teachers here, they're all our kids. So, just know that they're at school teachers and staff. I'd like to say something. Um, we're new to this place. Biggest question is the safety kids. There's lots of ways around this like volunteers if you want to the community together. Sure. She
026said kind of seems pretty simple to me this problem keeping all patient Can I just say one more thing too? Um, I know that you guys are all looking out for the best in the school. Every single person in here is and I think that there is a lot of emphasis on building a new school and I'm not saying that we don't need a new school. Um, but my concerns are more like let's make sure what's going on in the school is solid before we start adding more things on top of it. Um, even like there's like a a lot of great talk going on about new curriculums and things like that and it's great talk and project based learning. I love it, but I'm a little concerned about spending a lot of money on
027some things when we don't have the manpower, per se, and we don't we need to fix some solid standards inside the school before we're we get so excited about building a school and then all of our kids leave because they're struggling at the school. Um, I just being a staff member, I do I love all the kids, even the incident with the Orbeez gun. Um, I I felt like it was handled the best it could have in this situation, but it was I understand as a parent being concerned, but I do think we really need to focus on what's going on in the school and make sure that there's policies to back up your coaches, there's policies to back up your teachers, there things going. we really need to build that strength back because we
028don't have that everything's in disarray and then we're getting new things thrown on top of it and it's causing more chaos. Um and I'm afraid that the new school is another one of those things and that sorry thank you It's a pretty simple thing. >> That's a good question. Um, I think, and if I may, um, this is just my opinion, I think that over the years, and someone could disagree with me, this has been a very open community family campus. Things have changed so rapidly in the last several years that, and this is just me talking, okay, this is Alina. I don't think that we've done a good job in recognizing the speed and the momentum of the change um because of everything else going on. That's not an excuse. It's just there's been
029a lot of different things going on. Um and we failed at that, but we need to This is me talking. Um I do think that we need to expedite. However, um I had a conversation with someone right after our last meeting uh wanting the fence now and I hear you and I know there's some guys in here that could put it up like that. They probably even have the supplies at home, but we have to follow certain standards being a public school. Unfortunately, all the red tape you have to go through. Um of course there's the costs that go with it unfortunately. Um but uh yeah, we could put it up probably better, quicker, and faster than than the hoops we have to go through to get it done. But um I know I did
030visit with Curtis uh several times since the last meeting and I know he's been working on uh getting proposals uh working on the criteria. Uh we're going to discuss it again tonight uh so that we can try to get that done just as quickly as possible. The other thing I hope it's okay that I share um you know I know some of you in here work with pattern um here I I would have known that I am here as a parent of a student in the school not as my employer >> understand that but you also have to realize that you know with that this is me speaking again okay and we've had this conversation a lot of the issues not all of them okay we also have you know multiple highways that intersect here.
031We're very much aware of that and it's even if pattern wasn't here, I think we need to get it up. But but it has um it heightened the the issues that quickly affected us, if you will, uh that we need to move probably quicker than we should have moved quicker than what we did. Um but as a result of that we do feel that the facts that we are aware of we feel is due to some of the traffic that is coming through here as someone said earlier this is like an oil field. I think that was Mr. D. Um and so we have hit up pattern. We're gonna get a report on that and then helping in expediting and helping funds because if we do the right kind of fence, uh I've gone out
032online and looked at the cost of the things that I have in mind. I don't know about the rest of the board, but I don't even want people to see through the fence. Um, I don't want people to see what we're where the kids are, what we have or how things are are strategically aligned. Um, those are expensive and and so we are we're working on trying to get some support financially. Don't know what's going to happen there. Um, and I know Curtis has been working on as quickly as he can on trying to get things moving so we can get one up. >> Anyone answer your question? Sorry, that's a long answer. >> Down that way. Most of the majority of the situations have been in house patterns. I understand there is a lot
033more people in this town. I get that. Once again, I am here as a member of the community. I've lived here longer than I worked there. Love it or hate it, I don't care. That's what pays my bills. Okay. Well, I don't want to get into discussion with pattern versus not pattern. Just just sharing some of the issues that we've all seen, but not trying to hammer hammer pattern. But thank you for your comment. >> All right. I I have one comment to make. As a former business manager here, we never had the money to build a fence. We talked about it. We talked about it for years. We knew we had four different directions to get out of here. And um it's never been safe. It's worse now, but we've really looked into it.
034We talked to PSFA. We talked to um the legislature. talked to and it just never came to fruition. Um I have spoke to pattern talked to my boss who as you know I work as a community lison and they are looking into helping us put up their stuff. So there is that we but it doesn't happen overnight because as a school district you have to go through the procurement process. You have to go and it's never easy. It's so immersed. I wish we could just buy the material and put the fence up. You got enough people around here that build fence. It's not going to happen overnight. And I'm sorry. We just have to be diligent. >> Um, what about cameras? Somebody said that they're not working. Like, is that correct? >> They are working.
035>> When the installer put in the cameras, there are some issues with door contacts because the door are old and the sensors are not working. So, the doors will not secure. Okay, the cameras will work. They We have a company coming working with doors. I'm going to talk to 911. I got other folks coming on door contacts. There are six doors that have been flagged by the fire marshal. They need to be majorly repaired or replaced. So, it is causing issues with our door contacts. And we have four doors that don't close unless they're forced closed. So the issue at hand is this. We either have to replace the doors or do it. One of the companies that we are working with brought out a hinge specialist. So hopefully we don't have to replace all
036the six doors that were set. But they brought out a special one and that's one of the quotes. We do have a quote on door replacements. What we did was do an alocart menu of every exit door to district that had a sensor on it and that was done in process before this event even started. So that way the community is aware of that because our former contractor who put in walked away from the last part of closing out the job. The cameras were operational but the doors were not. So it took me a month go through the procurement process to make sure we could find a certified perkata dealer so it did not void our contract with the cameras in the doors to do that. They came in the week before spring break to
037do their assessment. They're starting to have two vendors. The problem is there's limited vendors that will work with us. I have two of them. The third one wouldn't be able to get to us till October. So, I've got the two that are currently operational that can get here in June to work on the doors, but again, I had to go through the replacement. I'll talk about that when we talk about what the board of actions want to do to go forward to give us quotes and everything to complete assessment of the door. So, that way that's where we're at in the camera system and the doors. Okay. security lock down the school. That's great. But I didn't know it until my kids. So, or both like they came and told me about never got a
038message. Never like I think Hannah is who I talked to to get that message that had been locked down. Like I didn't know personally like nobody let me so I don't how that all works out over here. >> Can I take this one? >> Yeah. >> So um as far as the doors being locked is that what you refer to said they were locked in their classroom. I think she locked down. >> Oh okay. So not that the exterior doors are now open I used to classroom doors have all it's up to the teachers to close them they the elementary was advised over two years ago to keep their doors locked >> when we had to lock down for George is there not a parent protocol that these parents should be alerted that we are
039on lockdown I know >> a blast on the >> so I'm probably sure that's where that's coming from. >> Yes, >> I mean we do try to thin out less. We're still there's case in every system and we try to get it out as efficiently as possible. it doesn't always get >> so do you all get the messages whenever uh because now that we're talking about this um in the event I'm not sure that I'm speaking on every event but I know like my cell phone number and my home number are listed so that when the IVR system sends out the automated messages that they set up to send out what whatever those may be do you all get those >> um I so you might just get with the school. Uh who would they
040need to get with hand? >> Make sure they have your contact information uh on where you can readily be reached in the event that they send out. >> We never know whether you get them or not. There's no like >> these people I don't know like nothing. I know you probably listened ears and listen to people but when people are talking like if they were talking and your backs were turning you weren't listening to them and I feel like that's important as a board and nothing I know you're doing but like they're talking to you so make eye contact with like let them know let us know that you're listening to it I'm It sounds like you're very good. >> That is very important. >> Okay. I have a question about are all angles covered
041like that our students are in like basketball courts playground prek playground like all the little spots. Are they covered? Well, honestly, there's some hot spots that aren't covered that are all on. We've got them in all common places that we thought set up, but honestly, after this incident, we figured out that there's blind spots. So, we're working on plus more teleoc. [Music] >> No, we have up to three years of retrieve depending how we set up. And one and one of the things that is going to be recommended and I'm going to tell the board tonight when we camate come on their site visit. There are no perimeter cameras watching for cars coming in and out of the area. We have no shots clearly until they are in the parking lot of license plates and
042people recognition. And there's going to be a recommendation for four exterior post cameras on the corners of this lot so we can get traffic going to and from and use the full capability that system with facial recognition and license plates. When they put the cameras in, they got the campus secure, but when it was designed, there were no exterior watching roads to come in like a lot of those systems have. So if the cameras are being worked on, fence takes a period of however long to get pushed through and all this goes until start of next year. What is the plan for security for next year while we don't have the peninsula? >> So Curtis, why don't you go ahead and share we've discussed thus far as as shortterm immediate because we are very concerned
043needed immediately. based on the last meeting that we had. Um, and I had some personal experiences myself that same week. So, the timing of all of this is is perfect. Not that we're having these issues, but uh, Curtis, why don't you go ahead and share the plan? >> Okay. I talked to Mrs. Brandon Burger that night after the meeting as well as a couple other board members. Robbie wasn't here that month. So the following morning I immediately contacted the Lincoln County Sheriff's Department and associate which is our risk and safety assessment crew for our insurance which is required by peed for us to do anything securitywise in the state. So I immediately contacted them and Sergeant Joe Bailey came out on the following Tuesday afternoon board meeting to do their complete safety assessment. We are
044still waiting for the report from Lincoln County on the safety assessment report that occurred at that time. uh they did a complete internal and external evaluation of our facilities because it's not just the fence that we have security issues with. I'll just lay another point down. There is not a set of master keys for this district if we have an incident that law enforcement can get to. So they did a complete safety assessment. So it's not just a fence that they're looking at. They're looking at all safety access egress points and everything else. Thompson Associate came out and did their risk assessment last Monday. I should have that report hopefully by the end of this week. James Bier and Albert Mun, who's the two that did it, were working very hard to do it, but
045they also are in the process of doing risk assessments this time of year for our insurance. They usually occur March, April, May or August, September, October for all districts that are required by state law. They move to ours from October to May knowing our situation. So we are waiting for them to submit their complete risk assessment as well with this. We're going to have two of the requirements that we have for procurement that we've done the needs analysis and needs assessment for the district. Um and there's going to be some recommendations made in those plans going forward. And I have also contacted two fence companies. One's got their quote in tonight that we'll talk about. The other one's going to have it to me hopefully by the end of this week that can look at
046the door situation and do that. a camet. Our camera person and door sensor person is scheduled to come out here the week of June 5th 13th to get all the work because we may have to bring this to the board meeting on the 11th um to get it get it um approved because it's over the $60,000 threshold. I'm allowed to approve as a district um for the district. So, the board would have to approve that work going forward. So that's the schedule right now of what is happening. Um we're waiting to see the assessment because there are also fire code issues by palms and our fire marshall that we have to address for egress because some of our sidewalks may not meet code if we ever have anybody in a wheelchair and like that. So
047this is the complete safety risk fire assessment for the district by those two entities to let us know what has to be done because it's not just about offense. It's about everything doors locked so if we do have an incident we're able to respond and keep the kids safe. So once we get those reports back, I've had initial conversations with Cody and I talked to Elena today about us maybe having to schedule a special board meeting even before the 11th to go through these proposals so they can get fully informed and make sure what's going on. But the target is and I've told all the contractors and everybody else that the June 11th board meeting has to be the drop dead date so we can get this work scheduled over the summer. And we're crossing
048fiscal year. So part of it could be done on this year and part of it on next year because the way our budget fall. >> I have a question on that plan. >> How are students going to have access to the uh one moment please? >> So there's nothing in place for the meantime. >> We have cameras and we're watching them periodically through the day to watch. The door sensors are not working properly. The cameras are working. That's how we found some of the dead spots that are going on. And by the assessment that was done by Palms and law enforcement was the external corner post cameras that don't that don't show vehicles coming in and out is something that is missing in our system to make sure we can track vehicles and know what's
049going on. I think the point I'm trying to make, it's if if the fence gets pushed back, the security gets pushed back and this doesn't happen, it's not ready by the beginning of next year, what is going to happen to provide some security? Is there any plan or is it just kind of >> shoot hope so >> I'm gonna share a little bit. Okay, y'all. And with your concern, you know, I know I sat in here at the last meeting and and I know I was pushing pretty hard in terms of okay, what is tomorrow? Not not in another few months. What is tomorrow? We've got these issues. what it's going to look like in the morning when we all get here. And and so my understanding is is what we did the next day.
050Of course, there was a field trip uh which uh was good to give everybody a little bit of thinking time um and getting the littles um you know off, but it's still there was still other students here, staff, teachers, so on and so forth. So that is when we started blocking. That's what I thought you were initially talking about. that with me um in locking the doors. I wanted all the doors locked. We don't have events. We're having issues with with mags mag locks and the way that the the doors were designed based on the system. Um which I dealt with the same at the electric co-op when I was there. Sometimes those can be a little finicky. So I get it. It happens. Um but in the meantime, you can you and that was
051basically what we had discussed. Holding let's walk the dog. I would rather people not be able to get in at all and the ones that are allowed to get in to be given the permission than than leader life. My other issue was you guys that watched the recording is we don't have the the people the staff to and and the way this school was designed unfortunately we didn't used to have these issues where people can see the front doors and we don't have somebody you know um I've retired from the co-op and I told them I'll move a desk here and I'll watch the front doors. Um and so that's another issue that I have and that's why the doors were locked. Um the cameras do work. Um, and also the the agreement that we
052signed is uh with this service, we also have another service. Correct me if I'm wrong, it should still be enforced. Um, is there's a the co-op. I'm familiar with it because we use the same. Uh, it's a facility that they have people sitting behind the desk watching those people. Um, they're supposed to be. Um, I guess I would like some more information on that. um in why they didn't see the individual uh based on the incident that occurred that one day. So, we can talk about that later. Um but that's just to kind of give you a little bit of information. Oh, and the other thing that we put in place is um the administration uh throughout the day until we can get our events uh in addition to locking the doors and watching the
053cameras, they're working the uh perimeter of of the school to make sure that that there's nothing that looks suspicious. And only it's not just that teachers are covering playground duties and everything else. We have try to have adults out there at various times of day to make sure that they're being supervised and we've had try to get two people out there at all times. >> Yeah. Thank you. I'll take it a step further. Um you know I had a conversation with Patterson but I won't share the details. um and uh he had had a conversation with um some of the Lincoln County folks. Uh so we actually have tonight, you probably saw it on the agenda, um we have a draft uh letter to the Lincoln County um commissioners. uh and uh we're going to
054be having some additional conversations and then making sure that they're budgeting the necessary monies uh to protect not only Corona but all the rest of the schools in Lincoln County also. Um I don't think that um it is necessarily the school responsibility, this is me talking um that we need to build into our budget armed security guards. I looked at that with the OAP when we had some situations. It is crazy expensive. And I know I'm not saying I don't I'm not saying that there's a price tag on our kids safety. I'm not saying that. But we've got to try to figure out how to in addition to the fence, even after the fence goes in, this is my opinion, we still got to have somebody controlling our our premises with everything that's going on.
055Um, so those are some of the things that we have been working on and we plan to continue to work on just to let the parents and the teachers I don't know what everybody has heard, but that's just my two cents. It's very important to me also. Oh, I think what you just said, you don't know what everybody's feeling. A lot of people in this room that the communication is very so that we shouldn't be happy to hear that there was somebody potentially stalking one of our children by way of the break. >> Exactly. I talked to somebody today that heard a rumor about it. she has kids in need. That's not worth it. And I would like to also say too since we get a little bit more extra time, I I really would
056encourage the administration to reach out to the sheriff's department and get them more of a be more of a presence here, come in and talk to the kids about stranger danger or the community. If this community of this man or whatever it was referred to knows that we're watching as a community and as parents and as teachers and that the kids are aware of stuff like that, they're going to be less likely. That's back to communication. >> Rob, to respond to that, we just got notified, what was it, Monday this week, that Officer Preston and Officer Gordon are the ones that'll be walking our hallways. They've been in the last couple days. It may not be every day, but this week they've actually got their full deputy high staff back and they're doing it for
057us and hundo out and roll. So, we did have officer Preston in here today. It's going to be different times of the day. So, they're not consistent, but they're going to try to spend at least two hours around our campus and that just started. >> I used to know this though. >> I just found out about it today when Officer Preston walked in. >> I bet you knew about this incident before. That's what I'm going with. >> And one thing I agree with you, Robin or Mrs. Dunn, but one thing that I know you do have to be careful of is mayhem. Um, in what you do need to release information, but you have to be careful how you release it because you don't want, you know, everyone storming the school, putting yourselves and everyone
058else in harm's way. The other thing is with these officers, um, you know, you have to let folks know that it's a process that we're going to be doing. But in the event that you don't want everyone to know should there be someone trying to find or someone that it might be a deterrent to not come that day if they know they're going to be here. So we'll pro we need to share that we're going to be starting this so that parents, teachers, staff, and students especially because these small town kids, you see a sheriff walking around. I know you know my kids like my gosh, what does anybody do? And so yeah, the communication needs to be there, but I don't know that we can share exactly precisely. Right. Right. Just wanted to share
059that. Okay. >> Um Miss Frank, I was going to say one more thing and then we're going to go put our baby to bed. Um, maybe listen, he's more crazy than William. Um, I I this is just me talking personally from a biblical standpoint. You cannot comprehend the amount of grace that I have for our school, our board, our admin for the fact that our this entire community has been flipped on its head. You were not prepared for that. You had Aubrey Albert come to school here. You had that's what you have here. And now we don't. But the measure of this school board admin and our community is going to be our ability to pivot and just know that everyone came up here. We all have a lot of thoughts and we all have
060a lot of opinions. that this is where I want my kids because I think that the character of the people here is higher than anywhere else. I don't think my kid could find a better teacher than Crystal Bell and Casey Patterson in any state in any school. But it's the ability to pivot and so there's a lot of grace from me as a parent and I'm supporting you. And again with the communication with Capian, it quickly became us versus you. us, the gratitude parents, and then the board, the school trying to protect itself. Please don't feel like you ever need to protect yourself from my family. We want to be here and we have so much love. We're ready to pray, help, support. We just need changes. And she said it and I about stood
061up, but she was like, "Everything in house." The Bible verse for that is the wise man build his house on the rock. Deal with the house first. Raise your kids first. and we need to take care of stuff in house. But like I said, this is not and please don't ever feel like this is coming from a place of we're mad. Get your pride together. It is let's pivot as a community. Let's all work through this insanity. I mean, we live on the dirt road with the wind farm. We got you. It's craziness, but let's pivot and let's just do better. Take a deep breath. It's okay. Let's fix this as it's >> Amen. Yes. >> Thank you. >> Make sure you set his alarm. >> Yes. >> Thank you, >> Mrs. Patterson. There's a
062small um you know, we're trying to get better and move on from this experience and I take full responsibility that my child was unattended and and there's no that's not why we're here. But you look back at something, you're like, man, maybe we could have done something better. Here's one thought. Um God forbid this happens again. But I think that maybe KK should have been interviewed and I think that maybe Mr. Wilson should have been interviewed because he laid eyes on that man and KK knew Lee Wilson and that upsets me that that wasn't documented because what if that man comes back? Don't you think we should know maybe because then we are better equipped to take action and then that's a question and and we probably can't share names of in this particular setting
063but we know who the gentleman was. >> No, but I >> identify him >> identify this if that parent would have been brought in and KK would have been brought in and said what color hair did he have? What did he look like? I mean, Carol knew what he was looking at. And I showed KK a picture the next day of the gentleman. Thought I'd know better. And she right away said to me, "Yeah, that's not him." And I appreciate that the principal went and she did check on me that next day, but I think we need to like document like what did he look like because what it becomes better. We got to do better to protect our babies. That's what I'm saying. Thank you. So I still have my question. I still have
064my question on top of that. You know, because these children do walk from building to building, correct? >> During the school day, how are they going to get in these buildings instead of standing outside baiting on that door? I have witnessed it. I've seen females, if we're talking about sex offender, I've seen females stand right outside. Sex offenders sometimes are not sexist. They go after men, too. How are we going to pro protect our children when they're standing outside the door? We have elementary kids that walk from the elementary school to the high school at the end of the day. Do they stand outside? Who's watching them? Are they escorted? We have kids coming from up. Are they escorted down by a teacher? We have kids coming up down from the cafeteria. Are they being
065escorted all at once? They are. I've seen that. I've seen elementary school. Yes. But are high school kids being walked down together as a group? In the past before this situation, I've seen them straddle down. As they finish, they come down at their will. Is there somebody with them all the time? It doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman. Our kids are our kids and we need to protect. They don't need to stand outside and knock on the door. Notice Hi. So, I'm gonna kind of pivot just a little bit on stuff. Um, yes, safety is a huge concern. I echo exactly what Michaela said. We left Capitan for that exact reason. Um, but my some of my concerns fall more with policy. Um, I know some of you in the room and
066and actually it may um clarify some things for uh Mr. repa on some stuff. Um, but I had to do something I didn't realize what I was doing at the time. To be real honest, there was a situation took place that I felt like could have been handled in a whole lot easier manner than it ended up being handled. Um, it was not near a deal as it has been made out to be. Um, but it was simply something that just needed to be told to certain individuals, this is not how we behave. This is not what we do. They needed to be um kind of humiliated, if you will. They needed to be told to um give apologies to certain individuals. Um, and that would have sufficed for me, but nothing was done. and
067I was told that we needed to go through this channel in order for something to be done. And so I don't know because I don't know policies, procedures at Corona. Um but I know that that should not have had to escalate to the point that it did. Um and so I just ask um I'm going to kind of echo what what Renee said a little bit about handbook. Let let's have some things in place. Um, and I know I know policy is a board thing, um, and making policy. And so I just ask from the board that we make sure and we have some policies in place so parents like me don't have to go above and beyond and have to do things and fill out paperwork that I really in hindsight probably should not
068have filled out when it could have been taken care of with a simple butt cheuin. Um that and then the other question and this this is just a I have kind of heard some rumor that some things might change as far as sixth, seventh and eighth grade maybe kind of having a junior high um doing some different things. Could we be um and and I know with with hiring and not knowing who you have and all that um but once that is all decided, could we as um parents be um informed as to what's exactly going to happen because I will have a kid in sixth grade and I just kind of would like to know moving forward how that's going to look next year. And that's all. >> Thank you, M. Mrs. Gettis. Many
069of you know I'm I'm a registered lobbyist for New Mexico Calors. Have quite a bit of experience raising money through the legislative channels. Um, if we started working today, it will be July of next year before the money is ever available in the school. But I also know we don't start working today. We're low on the total. We're last on the list. I would be glad to talk to Harlon Vincent, our representative, as he's not only a friend, but he also sits on the legislative finance council. We have to work through him >> to get you with his junior monies also which he can put wherever he so chooses. But if we don't get on that list quickly, we don't have that number we need to hand him quickly, we will not get it for
070a whole another year. So please keep that in mind as you make your plan and proceed. >> What's the what's the nextession? >> The intersection this summer is when they do it like Lauren Portell LFC and LC does all their work in inter session getting the budget ready. So when they go out the next session and Lauren I've already got a meeting set up with Harlon me and the other superintendents. He wants to make some of these priorities. So, we're meeting the first week of June. I met with him yesterday at LFCO. I'd be happy to have you be involved in those conversations because I know what he's looking at is a piece of legislation specifically for first responders, first medical, law enforcement, teachers in rural areas to use that excess fund. And he has
071a bill that was presented to him by our superintendent in this county at the end of session. and we just didn't get in there early enough to get it considered. But we can have that conversation. I met with Harlon yesterday. He's going to come to our district or we're going to meet in Kerizo that first week of June to discuss those. >> There's ways to get things funded through. >> Yeah, >> that's why we needed early communication. >> Yeah. and be you're more than welcome to share the incident that happened with my child because more than anything I don't want another family go through it although it it absolutely nothing happened in regards to well being my child but the potential was horrifying especially his father who's 6'4 200 lb and she thinks I can
072do anything. It's very hard to be um has there been consideration with the village to coordinate maybe because I know this is a weird property. The the fence is going to be a nightmare whatever it is because it's weird. There's cement, there's concrete, there's buildings, there's streets. So, have we coordinated with the village? Maybe it's not on school property. Maybe it's on village property where you push it out a little bit further, but it's on the border and it's but it's still doable. Like, is that an option that we can look at to maybe expedite or work in some respects? >> Yeah. So, just something I mean just to be productive, maybe we can talk to the village about their property, their go We might be able to move faster. Thank you for that. We
073appreciate the comments and the questions. Um I I believe uh we I don't want to shut anybody off. So, but I do want to go ahead and move forward. I think we've had good conversation uh good ideas. Uh and I appreciate all I do board staff myself. I appreciate you all. Uh it goes to say like Mrs. Eldridge uh was sharing earlier where um and this just goes to prove you all care and this is the only way that we know in many cases when there is is when we definitely have some issues and I think we're all on the same page. There's different approaches, different ways to handle. We're going to work on this just as quickly as we can. >> Yes. M um We have been working for months on Paul's updates. We've
074spent we were left here last meeting at 9:30 because we're going over policy the entire the entire policy for staff, students, everything. But we have to have readings. We have a first reading and a second reading. Then we adopt. So we should be done this evening. >> June the final reading. June will be the final for next year. We I mean this is my second the first time was back in 2014. So yeah, we're working on everybody's talking about the emergency alert situation. How about a scheduled emergency alert drill just like the radio? This was an actual emergency. Blah blah blah. Anybody might consider one of those specific especially early next year. Uh we are onboarding the rate panic button for that one. um where the next district to get it launched and our training
075will be in July for that and that will be all parents will send out notifications but it's going to be very important in that that you have all your right contact information there. So if you change cell phon like that please notify the office because it only works as good as the data that's in that data system to send the calls out. So when you rescue your kid in the in the ball, make sure if there's any changes of address, cell phones like that. If you change during the year, Rave is working on you to register your new number through that which is a new twist to that because in the past we had to manually put it in. Now you might be able to input any new information. Another thing if it could be
076coordinated with village hall like we get notifications the water systems will be shut off blah blah blah. I don't know if you guys can coordinate that and send it out on both both links. >> That's a good question Lauren. I don't know if Ray can communicate to them but we might be able to communicate from our website out to them to have it go. >> Whoever has a green truck parked in front of a platform you could move it. Um, >> really quick questions. >> Yes, this is just a statement. I do know that after the incident, Randa did have a meeting with the elementary kids about the buddy system and I also know that principal Dunlap did send home letters on it um to the elementary kids. I know a lot of these parents
077might be high school kids. So I just want there was steps taken and maybe if you weren't in the school you didn't realize it as much but there was steps taken as well as with the Orbeez and orbe gun there was steps taken. So there was things although I have my concerns as well but it's there was things done properly that I think were done and especially in the elementary they really wanted to make those kids aware still to this day those kids are like buddy system buddy system like when they leave my if they think they got to leave to go hold doors buddy system we have to do this and it's so I do want I don't want to just make it seem like nobody's watching because I'm one of them I swear
078I'm watching your kids too. You know what I mean? >> Another last comment. >> Yeah. And this is just a question actually just for who I contact or notify, but it it's no secret that I we work with a lot of things on the wind farm, but uh on the funding for this is so we've we've been asked um we work with a lot of different subcontractors on wind farm and and those guys I'm not discrediting what pattern does, but there is a kind of a touchy relationship between subcontractors and pattern and bladder and all that. So, um, but the subcontractors actually have asked me, we we've done some other work on through the men's home, u things like that as far as funding because they do a lot of community development, things like that,
079but they don't shuffle that money through pattern. Um, but there's some smaller monies available through those and and I just wanted to ask if I put all that together, who do I contact about? But it just >> Okay. So, um, you can send that to us and we can coordinate the efforts because I did talk to Jeremy about the stuff through pattern and how to and I we did talk a little bit about subcontracts and they're different pool but I'm glad you brought to sub pattern because I wasn't familiar with that being coming up here and knowing that knowing that you can send that information to Vicki and I to coordinate with the board because there are certain things we have to do if they want to designate it for a certain purpose. The board
080has to accept that donation. But they just give a general donation. Let's say your subpaner XYZ ladder wants to give $50,000 to security. The board has to act on that so we can budget it inside. If it's just a general donation for student activities or to the schools hold to be determined, that doesn't have to go through a board action. But I want to make sure we follow that and we get it designated in the right because that could as Barb will tell you if you get too many donations and you're and basically supplanting the funds you get from the state it could impact us in the future with future funding. Okay, especially with PSFA if we were going whatever with them that could impact what we can get from them ultimately to do projects.
081So, I just want to make sure for you guys if you're doing that, get it to Vicki and I. We'll make sure we're following it's addressed in the new policies they're coming with. But we will have to recognize it, send him a letter, recognize it, so that we're in compliance with everything with those funds and the auditor will nail us for it because it happened to cliff when I was at Silver School. >> Well, thank you all for coming. appreciate hearing from each of you. We're going to go ahead. You all are more than welcome to stay for the rest of the meeting or if you so choose and you want to get up and leave, we won't be offended if you go ahead and that's up to you. Um, but uh with that said,
082uh, and thank you all uh online. Uh, we appreciate your attendance and your comments. Uh we're going to go ahead and uh go through the agenda and I'm going to ask for an approval of the minutes from the April regular board meeting minutes from the April board. Okay. All those in favor is there any discussion? All in favor, please signify by saying I next item, payroll and bills. Any questions? >> Hey Marie, you ready? >> That's printed out. There's a mark. It says tax. I know it's not a lot. What was that? >> That's for a better description. >> It's on purchase order. Yeah, >> it's I'll look at that. Well, >> but I'm thinking that's a line item. >> Yeah. >> of the purchase order that hasn't been zeroed out. I'll look at it,
083but yes. >> And then the Institute from St. engage multiensory multiensory education. >> So the asbesus testing media or no the CES was asbestous testing local testing or what they >> do for the teachers and we're going to get a refund for it once we get we're starting the process. I'll go and add the update later. We're starting that process to get that, but we had to have the asbesus test done. So, we'll get that reimburse from PSFA. That's going to be the process, right? >> And what was our legal line in the >> That was for the uh demolition promotion for the teachers to demo. We have to we're required by procurement to post. >> Okay. >> I have a question. The check that was cut to the village of Brunie for close to
084$5,800. Is that normally for me what that runs? >> You want to get in into that a little bit Hannah and Vicky about what happened to build? We got double double build a couple of them with duplicate bills and >> you want to go. You want me to? Okay. Um during the transition we realized that there's been people that been paid. So we've been playing a lot of catch up. Um the past two weeks, three weeks um since Vickiy's come on board. We have been playing catchup after catch up. Um there's been uh this would have been through the end of >> Yeah. >> And so it's been a lot of this um March didn't get paid. things like that. So, >> okay, but that's accurate. >> And I can >> Well, just on that
085same note, I asked about that some. But I think a big part of it is still old. Yeah. And they're they're just our heating system. Everything's just breaking down. So, our bills are horrendous. and bar that also not to interrupt you but it's also the time we had the water break down at Tidge and up there. So that could be part of that issue too with the volume that finally got caught up to us in their rears. But if you look at the sink in the backyard that's been completely shut off since that occurred and they came in and fixed uh the line uh to the rock building during that time. So that could be the excess water from those two broken points too. >> CES field for the records management digital records when we
086start. >> We already started this >> in process. >> So is it for the entire year or just for now going forward? >> This is for this year through end of June doing all student >> July one. >> No, we're doing it right now. >> No, that's me. But are you going back and getting records in July one coming forward or are we just starting now? So they're going back. >> And is that I know it's like what $67,000 that you It's 37. Okay. >> No, it's one time fee to do it. Then we have to pay a records management on the system. That's a lot less. But because we have records dating back as far as 1957 in some of our stores, we got to follow records destruction rules and like that. So we
087we're doing it's going to be a two-phase part. So there's going to be a smaller part of this next year that we'll be doing uh to get caught up on all it. But this is all student records, employee records, uh financial records that are in this building. Special ed is the first part. And then we'll do the we'll do the old financial piece starting July 1. Um there's going to be another folk that'll be coming for them. It's going to be a lot less than that because we got 84 boxes out right now doing it. >> Are you shipping those or are they coming here and doing it on site? >> We had to ship them, but they're going to be coming back on site here next week. >> Did we have documentation in what
088we ship? >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> And then are they destroying those after a period of time or then what happens to them? uh they photocopy them on and put the filing system online for us to be able to access them. So they'll do the the financial tree, the student records tree, HR tree, and all those that are on there online. So it'll be stored in the cloud. And then the paper records will be stored for a period of time to make sure it works, >> right? >> Make sure everything's in place and everything else. So it's up to a year that we have with them to store those records. >> Oh, okay. Um, so they will store them in their warehouse once we make sure we have everything correct and then they will destroy
089all the records they don't have to scan and do all the public notices. I don't say public notices but all the procedures and notify the auditor's office and the attorney general that done all that. So they're handling all that part for the district. Sorry to keep asking questions, but so they're storing our records for a year and they're >> not we can have up to a year. It doesn't have to store them for a year, >> but they're stoing. >> Yeah, right now they're scan. We have to determine that yet what's going on, but they have a separate isolated warehouse for us that we could get access to the paper records or we could choose to bring them back on site. There's going to be a lot of records that are destroyed because of some
090of our old student records like they going to be there. They're a going to be there. So, it's not going to be 84 boxes of records they store. So, we're looking at we we're not to that point yet to give you a good educated answer of what's going to happen with those records yet until they get everything. I guess my issue is I didn't even allow uh at when I was at central and we did with our records management plan once a week a shreddit would come. >> Yeah. >> And they wanted to take our records off site to destroy them >> them and we paid a little bit more but I was not okay with that. I wanted we had people actually go out and destroy those records and it's confetti. Um that's the
091way you're supposed to destroy records is confetti. Um I didn't want our records going off site because then I lost control of those records. I guess just take that for whatever it's worth and are we comfortable with another entity storing my records? >> Well, what's probably going to wind up happening is we do have the right for the shred when they do it. They'll put them in the boxes and you can contract with them to do it and we can be up on site when that happens. That's part of the agreement of that and we can bring those records back and >> so we do have to write the superintendent these records are being destroyed and report them >> but the ones that they're storing I guess if that's my concern >> if they we
092have we don't have to store them narrowly okay they have we have up to a year to store them there if we want >> I know we don't have to >> but that was something that you were considering and I missed I just I don't know about everybody else but I just Okay. Thank you, sir. >> Sorry. These are similar Vicki and Marie the ones I had prior. Um, so when you look at the the reports, the bar and the um, and I can bring my iPad up if you want me to show you exactly which reports, but the the the bar graphs that show Well, before I go there, the the total revenues budgeted versus the total expenses budgeted. And I guess this is just my finance hat in me. I still don't understand
093why the expenses are close to 2 million for the year for the fiscal year beyond what the revenues were. I just don't understand why you would build something like that where they don't at least equal and the revenues be just a little maybe a smidge more. Um, so I guess that's still my question and not to put anybody on the spot, but if you all could look into that and have a response for the next meeting. >> Absolutely. Um, >> so that's a question. >> Yes, I'm sorry. No, I was just saying absolutely. Uh, we'll actually probably have an answer for that next week when we do the budget um, presentation. Okay, thank you, Marie. And then the this was also a question I had at our last meeting and I checked it again in
094these reports um just to make sure I wasn't missing something. And when you look, pardon me, at the bar graphs that show uh they're the yellow and the gray, and they show the the fiscal year prior, the fiscal year current, and it shows the year to date, the cumulative, and you have two different charts uh that I think are supposed to be related, but they they're off material. Um, and so, and if you need those specific sh charts, I can get those for you. Uh, but I don't understand why those aren't in agreement. One year is, uh, take that back. One year is in agreement. 2023, 2024, but 2024, 2025 is not. The monthly does not agree with the cumulative. >> I'm going to make a disclaimer. I'm sorry, Marie, but these are not my
095graphs and I'm not Yeah, this is not my >> I was Yeah, I was referring it to Marie. Yeah, you're good, Vicki. >> No, no, I I get it. I get it. I get what you're saying. Um, no worries. Um, I guess what which page are you on? Let me just ask that. So, I'm on the same graph as you. >> It's page six. It's where the you have the monthtomonth comparison. Okay. It's not my page six, but okay. >> It's the one that's page six of the document. You sent us the packet of 15 pages. >> Okay. >> I don't think I'm on the same page as you. I I I I sent you a package. I thought I sent you a package with 25 pages. No. >> Um, you sent us like four
096attachments. I don't have my email pulled up right now, but the fir one of the first packets that you attached only had 15 pages. And there's red page numbers in the top corner that say one of 15, two of 15. That's the one that has the graph. And it's labeled as page six, I believe. I think that's what I said. Yeah, >> Maria, it's the first packet that says Corona Public Schools financial update May 14th. That's only 15 pages. >> There's other attachments, but they're not all in one document. >> Sorry. Sorry. >> And then just Elena, I'm gonna have to get back with you on that. I I I'm sorry. I think I'm on the wrong page. I really do. So, >> I want to hold up. >> That would be fine. Thank you,
097Murray. The next question is something to consider. Uh I appreciate it. Uh we haven't seen that historically. Um and you know, this is Vicki probably has a good handle on this. I don't know. uh I don't recall what goes on our checks as far as how many days they're voided if they're not processed um by the individual that they were written to, but I noticed we had some older on it. Okay. Yeah, I Yes, >> we did notice that as I noticed that >> I guess Marie um we need to I guess publicly ask that you that it needs to be addressed before the end of the close of the fiscal year. >> That's exactly right. We need to address them. >> Yeah. Did we get the signage fixed yet? That's on the the check
098software checks. >> We have not got confirmation from from Brian from them that they have done it. >> We requested it. >> Yeah. Multiple times. >> Multiple times. >> We requested from Brian last week again that the signature be corrected on the check stock. >> Okay. I'll go with him. That's something he can do. Only him, >> right? I know that. That's why we requested it specifically of him. >> Yes. >> Okay. Unless uh do any other questions before we move on? Okay. Uh and so motion tables. Second. >> Any discussion? Further discussion? >> Seeing none, all those in favor signify by saying I. >> I. All right. Yes, we have bars. Boy, people are dropping like matter. >> Nobody will stop calling you. Okay, bars. >> Marie, can you explain the bars? >> I'm
099sorry. We just I as far as I know, we just have that one transfer bar that wasn't approved um at the last uh board meeting. And then we also are requesting and I'll put a caveat on this. Vicki and I have been talking um at least at least daily and um we as we move towards the end of the fiscal year uh there will be a need for bars to get the accounts in in order. And so we're requesting that we have a blanket bar approval, but with that Vicki will approve any bar that we submit. >> Let me fill in the >> Yeah, thank you. So um there, as I said last month, there's a lot of line items that are in the negative. There's functions and we cannot be in the negative at
100quarter or at close. So, um, what we're asking for is that we have permission to make those moves and bring them back to your June meeting so that you're fully aware, but >> right. >> No bars will be approved without my me going through them as well and making sure and that we're working together very closely to ensure those functions are positive because we will get a finding if um if we're not positive on those functions. >> I have a question. Are they just inter budget or are we going to have to do some >> We shouldn't have to do any inter. I believe we have enough funding. I I didn't see anything. Marie, tell me if I'm wrong, but I have not seen any of our accounts that look like they had to have
101transfers between them any of our funds. I think >> I haven't seen that either. We just need to transfer between functions just for audience or intra budget in the budget. you can just get order approval, but if you have to move between functions that don't normally get monies moved between them, you have to get that's and it's a process. We're at the end of the year. So, we need to get we need to get it cleaned up. Yeah. >> So, and and then the the first bar that Marie talked about, that's the wind wind farm funds, and that's just to bring those functions out of the negative. There's plenty of money there. There's just they weren't budgeted to the right line. I move to approve a blanket bar to clean up the budget for fiscal
102year 2025 and I move to approve bar 2018 a transfer bar to bar projects. >> Okay. Any discussion? Seeing none, we take a motion or take a a voting of the board. I next on the is the principal report. So again, sorry you didn't have a written report. It's been a bit of a rat race, but we have um completed all of our state testing. It's called the de mosling test and all students have taken that. We've taken the science state science test in grades five and eight since we have 11th graders graders or FAT school day either because there's no 11th graders. So, uh that testing has not been completed. Our interim end of the year testing process elementary just finished up today. high school tests next week as well as most of our
103high schools next week taking placeer to place them into college level courses if so choose. Um so that's as far as testing goes. Uh our student numbers have dropped a little bit. We've had some wind farm families move out so we're down to 98 students. Um so we saw that giant increase and now we're back down to just below 100. So, um, with other students projected to move in prior to the start of the school year next year. So, um, that's what we're looking at with that. Um, ask question. What are you all doing in terms of the movement with the the in and the out. >> The next batch from our last conversation is looking at coming in July for the end of phase two, beginning of phase three. It could be anywhere. I
104mean when you talk to the people that we that we know they do their best guess they're talking possibly 30 40 students but if it goes by the past numbers take about a quarter of it you're probably looking at 10 additional I mean that's usually how it's worked out they always project by and what what we learned and looking when we did our projections it's usually about a quarter of what they project because the families don't always bring all their kids it's about 25% of them come with >> thank Sorry. No, you're good. Waiting to see what happens with that next. So, um try to be diligent in everything that we come across. Any questions? >> Uh a few. Um so, we we only have three ink program right now. So, from 8 to 3
105years. So, kindergarten registration is looking 32 weeks considering we're graduating 12. Um, however, we had uh I believe it was four off the top of my head four four year olds and then there was like another five. So, our our chain program again included three different but have a few come in. Um, not very many wind farm families, most of our locals. Um, but we we did advertise. We sent some things out to all at least to RV park and then to Raers RV park. I sent some stuff to the SL trailers out there at the transmission line. Um but I think there were so many families been trained but the time April 17 there were so many train because even our locals that were in school that was right around spring break where some
106of them were still talking with Thank you. Any questions? any additional questions? Thank you. Okay, now we're down to action items. Um, and before we get into policies, we have a few other items to discuss. Um, so discussion and possible action on school security priorities and procedures. >> We're getting more like to proceed to go forward. I think we need to look at that letter going to the county that we presented at the October board meeting for in doing it. So, it should be on the coronal letter. >> Yeah, I guess >> um you have to fill me in. I did contact the county manager to make sure he was aware that this would be coming because I don't think it's fair to him being another lead of a board to be blindsided. So I
107reached out to him to have a discussion about what we're trying to do. And if you notice the tone of the letter, I had worked with this with Harland Vincent, matter of fact, to kind of get him on board with this because it was going to align with this security approach for this session and then asking for what we'd look at doing with us possibly looking at a new building. Can we get an SRO? Can we have working on agreement to have housing? If you guys can build a house up here, we do have property. We might with them. So, this comes a variety of stuff to get them on board and is in line with trying to get the sheriff's department up here. I also talked to Mayor Cely about this. Um, he's on
108board with us trying to do a substation up here. I know that they talked about it at the council quite a bit about how to do it and we can work together with the village to secure housing in a place for their substation. Um, matter of fact, I just mentioned to Sam today again that I was going to bring that just come to the board tonight and he'll do whatever we need to do. Um there's a county commission meeting too soon to get on which is next Tuesday, but there one there's one in June, June 14th. Um I'm going to plan on talking to Jacob and see if I can get on that agenda or at least make public comment during that time at 9:30 and make a request from our board on the behalf
109of this one. So before we as we send it out I don't see it just going through this very quickly please so me um I see where and thank you for um that mentions um the growth in the area and the traffic and the activity regarding the wind farms. Yeah. >> Um and what we're doing as far as housing and things of that nature and our new school. But did we mention in here anything about the different and various highways that come through our area? because I could see them looking at this as a this is just me um a situation during the wind activity but I think this is a situation from here out. >> Yes. >> Okay. So >> I can add that. >> Okay. >> That's not an issue. This was done
110back in October. We talked about it the first time. >> Um and just trying to figure out what the framework was and considering that some of the issues have been people with trans coming through that would be pretty easy to have. So I can do that. I can send the draft out to the board. >> Okay. Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you. >> The other thing I think that and I appreciate you writing this, but I I do feel since this is going to the county commissioners of Lincoln County. Um I feel that in addition to you I I feel that each of the board members if they're um in favor of this um that we also need to sign this letter in addition to yourself um just putting a little bit more uh
111teeth into it if you will. Um I know your position is important but I think they need to know that this is also coming from in addition to yourself the school board as well. >> Is is the school board uh in favor of of everybody all of the school board members in addition to Mr. >> Okay. So, um I don't know if you all have had a chance to read through all of it. Uh so, if you have any other recommendations, when do you need those by Mr. Clip? >> Uh if we're going to put it on the June board meeting, that's probably going to be easier. or the June commission meeting. We could we need to get it seven. They like to have their agenda set seven days prior at least working on it.
112So we can get it to them by the 7. Um we can bring this back. I can bring it back next week special meeting for the budget and then we can finalize, approve, make the changes and then I can make them on my computer and then everybody can sign at that point. >> Everybody good with that? Yes. Okay. Perfect. Thank you, sir. Okay. I think it would be best Margie I think you're correct that you that you're stating that the board and the superintendent will be submitting this letter so it's document on public record so we can also share that that at this board meeting the board approved meeting proceed and put that at the beginning of the letter so they know that there's been an action of the board and then the final letter
113that's going out can be approved next year. So, so should we based on that comment I'm assuming we need a motion? >> Yeah. >> Okay. I make a motion letter concerning school security priorities and procedures signed by security. Okay. All those in favor signify by saying I here. Okay. Uh next item is the approval of the recommendation uh from Mrs. Dunlap uh for to employ Mrs. Cl for a future teaching position here at Corona Public Schools. um in accordance with the state nepatism as a teacher for uh fiscal year 2526. I was wondering recommendations for if you have any question a great job of filling that role and brought kind of a perspective to some respectful things. Yeah, I read this. This was sent to us. We should have had it in advance. Does anyone
114need a moment to read the letter? It's such a special we have as a board meeting we do need to have discussion about this. Is that important? Yes, I moved this to be the next week. I have a second. All those in favor signify by saying I. I has been tabled. Okay. Next item, we have approval of state travel uh for a team of four teachers. um uh an admin for new curriculum implementation training ADI in uh Anaheim, California July 15th through the 18th um of this year. Uh that would be Mrs. Dunlap, Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Patterson, and Mr. No, >> Mrs. Oh, Mrs. Hiring and where teachers are assigned. >> Okay. And so what I think is just going aware this vision is a program that helps speak with our kids thought skills for
115thinking and those kind of things like a whole curriculum approach that you kind of train kids up in questioning looking through things talking through things discussing through things and um it's a great it works very well if we're going to make the CTE shift and and working towards what uh we we discussed as far as the CTE programs and high school. Um and so that's most of them on that list are treatments they start learning new skills early. >> Uh yes. So this this is primarily your three, four, five, potentially six, seven and high model. Um and so we train those rates. So those skills later on prek this is something that's going to be pre. So, I I think this is right in raising that bar for critical thinking. I think that's huge. Uh,
116however, I guess I have a question for um I hear you. Sounds like it's this is geared more towards elementary. I'm opposed to you all taking um but I guess I do have a question. Do you feel that we should have a high school teacher involved in this being that they maybe need to see what's happening here to prepare for >> the trainings are two different elementary and secretary are two different trainings that we have the secondary team of board in there. The plan all along with this is to get it implemented with elementary and start the transitions and then have it next year. Um it's a three-year agreement. Then when we go to pay for it, um so the elementary is locked in for three. Then we have an high school additional expense on
117that because they're two separate programs that will do it. So this is strictly for grades K through eight and then secondary could be a middle school and high school model, but it's two distinctly different training for the high school staff building. >> Okay. So maybe I'm just slow. So we have here of course a seventh eight is in the high school. Um so are we saying that would be a different group of of folks or would it be high school teachers? >> It could be considerably be a high school teacher. >> Okay. >> But it depends on who's assigned 78 but it's primarily geared as an elementary curriculum for that and the high school kind of reaches back in. It's actually 6 through 12. So there is a little bit of overlap when it happens.
118So that's that's the difference. I mean the secondary one's more career gauge how these skills apply and like that. The elementary one is more developing those skills they go in. So there's two distinctly different trainings for them for both those levels. >> Yeah. [Music] >> No numbers right now. on the numbers with train if we can get it covered is 67 combined because that would be our largest number and that's easier to do because of accreditation or certification the teachers but it all depends on who we hire for staff and who's left it could be that the sixth grade will stay down at the elementary we do a traditional 7 through 12 we don't have all our open positions hired yet so we don't have every like we have a social studies opening and Marissa's
119opening right now for business and PE we don't have all those hired just yet we do candidates we were interviewing. So that's why I said this is flexible based on who is hired and who [Music] >> I'd like to see when do you have to book your accommodations? Yeah. Um, we have to do it by the end of this month. So, we have to bring it back next week session. >> That's just been things up. I don't I don't really want No, I'm just sure. I just want [Music] to [Music] >> I I I'd say the best approach, correct me if I'm wrong, is let's move this uh discussion with more information uh to the May 21st meeting. Okay. >> Yes. Sorry, I was already ready to go to the next thing. Everybody in favor
120by saying no. Let's move. Thank you. Thank you, Barbara. Okay. Oh, I was like we get done with these policies. Okay. So next we have um the discussion and possible action on the purchase of rural property Johnson for the teaching administrative housing public schools. You have a speech. You have a speech. Well, I can I can speak for the school here when we made this decision as the business manager would go and be started about the same time and my investment on the board and he said if you needed a he would speak but the decision was to buy the house when so I think we need a hold to that. Um I really don't think that we could negotiate this I don't think it's up for discussion that we're not going to do it
121is what I'm so I guess as far as this being an item of discussion agreed with ARA, we're gonna we're going to do this. I think uh the last meeting we had had just to bring all of you up to date in case you weren't aware, we had the appraisal and we felt there were some errors in the appraisal and so Mr. Club thought with the individual that provided that appraisal to us and so that's why it's on the agenda again tonight and then we of course make the decision on how we want to proceed from there. Is there anything else I've left out of that? No, >> pretty much. >> Okay. Okay. >> And I am not certain based on you know this is credential um at this point until we decide on um
122or you know do we share the dollar figure and and negotiate further or um or do we we make a motion to this is not an action item. This is only discussion with possible action. Um, so I guess we need a discussion on if we agree with the appraisal and then if we so agree with the appraisal, we can make the motion to accept for other action as [Music] >> the Oh, >> not quite a lot. There is >> the appraisal. Yeah. No way. Yeah. No, we have it. I mean, >> which one? the 265 and the 235 or what? >> Yeah. And then the >> Yeah, she the the value of the home it is and and and she said current market value that's way because I called her and asked her, you know,
123and >> Okay. >> And it's 265 is the value of the home, you know, but but with current appraisal and everything else, it's she said 235 would be the appraised fair market value of the of the home and property and whatever. So, so 265 is the netbook value. >> That's right. >> Right. Right. And I mean it's it's one of those things that that house now if you buy it off market's 248 right now. I mean the housing hasn't gone down. Housing is actually appreciated rather than depreciated to a certain extent. And we tried to make that place well everybody seen it, you know. I mean, we we tried to do do a good job over there and built it like we like it was on anyway. So, pick the hire. [Music] >> Now, that's
124going to be the pros and cons about who lived there because like he Oh, can you go check? Oh, can you fire alarm? Okay. >> Yeah. Get all the packages. >> Is that a motion? Yes. Second. >> No. [Music] Any other discussion? >> Your motion died for lack of a second. Would someone else like to make another motion? Make a motion to >> second. All those in favor signify by saying I. >> But I have to say I have to say um Mr. and Mrs. Johnson. Um, you all have taken very good care of that property and have made improvements since you first came and and of course we're going to miss you, but we appreciate that. >> Okay. Uh, next item is >> we'll put it in the purchase. There is another discussion that's
125gonna happen later tonight. We'll tell you. So the next item we we have is the second reading and discussion of Are you excited about policies? Thank you all for you don't have to leave. You can stay >> two administrators for like three seconds. >> Do we want to take a five minute break? You do a great job. Thank you for crying. I know we need [Music] a lot of money for us. Good So she's laptop. Once a week, whatever, whatever it is, dust. figure out how we draft up the sale document. Are you going to attorney? Okay. You can have draft. I'll send it to my attorney. We can make sure we file it. I'll be gone. >> Well, the problem is we need that >> station. So >> you're good. >> Okay. Are they
126still on the east side? [Music] Because I I mean every county I mean all Yeah. And it's my community doesn't get any [Music] hot now. Okay. died. Everybody knows it doesn't turn on volume. >> This your date night? >> Absolutely. Just close your eyes. Camera's on that. All right, we're ready. >> Appreciate y'all coming. >> So, second reading discussion of section D asking for approval. Um, what will happen is we'll approve that one next month for third reading. Then we will do the action to adopt the entire manual effective July 1. So, our policy will be done and then in July we're going to have to look at some things like our public meeting policies, open meetings act, those types of things for adjustments uh in the July meeting and possibly into August depending on
127how many you want to adjust. Um but that's >> correct. >> So, are you we can have the handbook ready? Fine. >> It'll be in July. We got to get the policies completely adopted first. >> Right. Exactly. And then in July, the handbooks will be coming for the board. >> And are we going to have them published by the people helping us or are we going to do them? >> We have to do them oursel. The attorneys will review them in compliance with the policies and then we will do it. That's part of the retainer. And then Dan Castile will also review from MSBA to make sure that the citations that are put in there are correct. So yes, we have d two people viewing it. >> Dan, we'll get them up on the website.
128>> Yeah. in the website current. >> Yes, >> at times I can >> I can always get on things are out. I know you guys have been busy >> for mobile. >> No, >> yeah, getting access off the app is much different than doing this >> and it's a lot of smaller fonts and like that's the problem with the app. Um, but on the regular website things get updated sometimes, but Apogee, we had an issue in April with it not communicating with the app because they did an up systems update and we weren't having stuff pushed out properly. >> They got that fixed around April 17th. So everything should be operational and up to date. Like we put in a whole bunch of spring dates in the calendar that never got pushed out and they
129weren't on the website either. They had issues. It was a perk when they were having uh windows issues on their side of operational, but it's all fixed. It'll be operational and that will be part of Amanda's responsibilities, her position next year is she'll be a part of that main street. So, and we're also looking at adding the multimedia class to help run our website and like that as part of the CT with remote. So, we've got a plan in place to make sure So we need a motion for approval for this. >> Okay. Uh motion please. I move to approve the second reading in discussion of policy section G. All those in favor signify by saying I >> third reading in approval of section section J. There's a typo. So it should be section J.
130It says below. >> Um so >> yeah. Uh so section J third reading for approval. Uh there were no changes recommended at that time but we will review some of those uh when we go to look at revision in July as was directed last month for second reading. >> Okay. Move to the third reading section J708. In favor policies like >> So we are down to D. >> Okay. >> Discussion. >> All right. Uh, so we're down to D discussion items and updates. I'll say that so Randa can hear. Um, and the first item is teacher housing update. >> Okay, teacher housing update. We did get the as best that was required by TSA. Um, we're going through the process being reimbured for that. Uh, we also got in the demo bids. We're in process
131of getting the contract together and get it issued. I can't state it yet because PSA has not done it, but we did get a bid that was $7,000 under that investment uh for demolition. It's a company out of Albuquerque. I can say that because there were five companies from Albuquerque that bid on it. Um but hopefully by the end of this week, PSFA will have that contract approved. We can issue it. Uh timeline is still intact. They're trying to be on we're trying to get them on site by June 1 to do all their work. should take them 14 days by the agreement and at that time we will start entering into the agreement through the state contracts for the housing through our supplier. So we've got to get the demo contract issued then we
132can go out and do the housing contracts for that and the good news is the market has kind of turned down and stabilizing it. The amount they gave us the housing may actually be a little bit cheaper than the initial estimates and quotes that we did eight months ago. But we'll have to see what it is because it depends on the bells and whistles we want to put in it um and what we want to do with utilities and like that. But once you get the final design and do that and then they will also do the um foundation work, they're going to have to put a retention wall because the grade of that which because of the erosion that was determined by PSFA. So they'll do the lot setup and the housing at the
133same time. >> Nice. So >> nobody in them right demolishing. >> No, that was the one that was condemned last year. That's one I was supposed to move into that never got brought up to code and couldn't do it. There's that one. And we do have a vacant teacher house we're keeping open right now. Uh for some of the new hires we're interviewing, they may need that one. So we did have a tenant move out. So we have that one open for that. And the timeline may be delayed a little bit depending on how much it takes for foundation like that, but they're still anticipating worst case scenario unless they hit something strange with doing the lot um by July 31st having everything down. But they're shooting for the July 15th date they had trying
134to get the house. Keep the fingers crossed. >> Okay, cool. >> What's our delays? >> What are there's a sink hole that was down there from the water leak. They have to inspect uh the soil samples. We will not know until they go through and do the soil samples of what they do. That could increase what they have to do for footers for the retention wall. Um that's the one thing that PSA will because they came down and did the site inspection right after that water man broke down there and they want to make sure it's not a permanent sink over top of there, but they have to do all the soils. We won't know that until we get ready for the excavation where they have to do the soil samples and everything else and
135and do the plan together what again we get something and sometimes like get answers >> and they're underst staff right now they lost three people in the last month >> three experienced >> three their most experienced people >> oh wonder why they're waiting just overworked Uh there what I'm hearing what I heard was that the person who was elevated there were just conflicts between the person that was hired to take over from the retiring director that there's just been a lot of turmoil and some folks have just said >> you know leadership turnover is really >> Scott openly got hired as as the chief facility down the border with the pay. So that's one of the people I lost >> and he's an architect. So he went back the architect architecture site because of all
136the stuff the state's building right now. So he got recruited by an architecture firm and Elise Ramos uh who was the third person that retired. I remember her >> she's contracting right now. >> She retired. >> Yeah, she retired contracting. So she retired from there project management for school management facility. >> Yeah. >> That's Yeah. Okay. Okay. Next item. Everybody good to move on? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Phone security system, external access EA system. >> Okay. We have everything set up except the splitter did not come in between the two buildings. Um that's going to be done next week, the 20th or 21st. Um that part came in. So we will be able to do operational and the caller ID number is a corona number but it will not be the 1 1911. It's one
137or 1711 because those are the emergency access numbers. Now when it calls out it will show a five 575 6 something extension that's routing itself through a plateau number that is the new new extensions because there were no 849 extensions left. So, it's going to a landline. It's there, but for emergency purposes, outside people can access the PA system. We have law enforcement in one of those numbers. They'll be able to get access to it. And if there's an issue inside the building, they can control the PA system in directly. >> So, I have a question. I know I brought this up before because plateau told me all copper is moving away. >> Yeah. >> Is that when you say landline, is that an actual copper landline? as far as I understand this, but I'll
138have to check for sure with them when they get here next week because our system is voice over IP and I believe we still had still that is one of the landline numbers. But I check with Bill and Dave to make sure because if they put that all the way to copper then our SEC then they won't be able to get access to our security system either because if it's internet voice over IP, they won't be able to do any of that stuff virtually from there. So yeah, we can I'll check with the contract. Okay. >> Whenever they're here. >> Okay. >> My understanding was it was an actual landline, but they they could pull that out at any time if they're pulling that stuff out, too. So, I don't know what to add that
139answer. >> Will copper be the same as hydrox? I mean, >> yeah. So this is >> that's why I try to keep my line >> when they run fiber. You don't have a choice. >> Power goes out. I have a little orange telephone. plateau is the area and the timing. >> Yeah. >> Well, I guess I was CEO. Well, I I talked to Wanda Waller. I was >> and they brought me two big battery packs cuz I told Lana I said I got to have communication when there power outage to the I mean now it's much of an issue but >> but they were like it is what it is and I said I said but when areas >> when did you get >> out there almost >> but what I was told I'll be
140curious to see what they tell you that copper will eventually go away because that is how they're the feasibility and how they're doing fiber will go away >> I we I asked those projects and services >> interesting anyway question two and on a daily life. >> Yeah. >> You sell service it tells you follow. >> Yeah. Text. >> Okay. We're gonna stay on track. All right. Are there any other items that the board would like to discuss at this time? our over company. That was it. >> Yeah, that's the door folk um for security for well I had them break it out itemized so that way they can do it. They did both the outside and interior doors. So we want lockable vegetable wheels inside of those and we can pull it as an alocart
141menu if we want to do it that way and prioritize doors. But we will have to look. The other company that's doing it is giving me a two-stage bid of the six doors that were identified by the fire marshal that needed to have maintenance or replacement on it. And then they're they brought out their hinge expert because they are starting to see some wear and tear on doors where the hinges are pulling away from the frames. So they brought out a D expert and they're going to give us a prioritized quote of what's going on. Um that's the company that is usually notoriously higher in the state. the one CHM that has their sister office in Colorado but has one in Albuquerque is usually lower with Ricata. So I'll be interested to see what they
142do and I'm hopefully going to have it by next week so you can pair. But I will pull out for next week's special meeting so you know for budget the six doors that have to be attached. But though that was your complete quote for all exterior door maintenance and repair and replacement. >> Use these folks. I use them I use them in silver for my locks >> and happy >> um depends on which one of the locksmiths came out to my district but it was a little bit different doors but they do they always >> they do outside doors really well >> and we use that but CHM has the state contract for Colorado and Arizona for ricotta and they're starting their branch office in Albuquer started last year. So, I'm going be interested to
143see what they do, but they were very highly recommended by the districts in Arizona and Colorado that I had contacted. So, we'll see what CHM comes up with. They may be more expensive than I think, but the cost of doors and the hinges um with the heavy duty hinges for safety and security is what's doing it. And then we can choose how we go. Like I said, if this goes over 60,000, I got to have you guys approve them. So, looking to do the individual six stores is going to be below the 60,000 to get that schedule and get it done. Then, if we want to vote on the rest, I'll make sure you guys are informed next week of what a plan of action could be because we want you to put it in
144our budget and use some of our bond money for it. And so, we can look at what we want to do with the rest of the doors and recommendations to do it. But if we're looking at going for the new building and looking at doing that in the future, that 7 mil floor, uh Nick and Seel will be coming next month to talk about that impact on us because we're at 6.7 right now. We don't have to go for 3.3 mills now. We can go for one or 1.3, get it up to eight. So it's going to reduce the amount of tax. And actually what has happened because some of uh Patterns and Blatner's properties have come on to business, it's gone from $11 per 100,000 worth of value. They're guessing right now. They're running
145the actual numbers to about seven or eight per 100,000 of value in your tax plan because the business offset is greater than what was anticipated. >> Right. Okay. >> Okay. So, back to the door. >> Yeah. Um, so we have a recommendation from the fire that like the bare minimum or is that >> what is required? >> Well, the doors that are going in are the fireproof doors that are required by fire marshall as well. Um, so these are the standard to meet New Mexico code and fire codes in New Mexico as Robbie will tell you at times for public buildings and like that are crazy. But these are the doors that have to be replaced because we are missing two bullions up at the up at the theater that were taken out that cannot
146secure. And that mullion is part of the fireproofing of those doors. So CHM was looking to see if they could just replace the mullions and the frames on the inside as opposed to replacing that door. They replace all all replacement. That's the thing with overhead door when I dealt with them with keys. I just wanted to do one building and they tried to set it up at silver where it was every building with a new master key, master tumbler. We only wanted our our two shop areas in the building to keep the same so the teacher could have access instead of carrying six heat that he had. So that's the issue with overhead door, but I'll see if CHM comes back because they sent their specialist out last week. He thinks even two doors the
147fire marshal peg he can replace the hinges and get it back into code. So we'll see what he does and we'll go from there. But the two in the auditorium, the one on the elementary that doesn't close and this one that doesn't close are the four that are targeted for replacement. This one should be able to be fixed according to both companies. Um so that's the fifth door and and then the other one, the sixth door is over on the prek. Um, last question unless somebody has something else just because I ran into this at the co-op when we did a full Are these going to be the ones we're replacing full metal doors? >> Yeah, it depends on what There are two options we can choose. They can be full metal. >> Okay. >>
148Or they can be the safety doors with the slimmer windows so you can see out with a doorbell system and like that if you if you're going in there. That's two options. But right now, I asked both of them for the exterior doors, at least two of them that we need to have that access to um to have the slit windows instead of the big ones like we've got now. So, they're going to be smaller. >> Okay. >> And then the other ones, like if we have to replace the end doors down here, they could be all metal. We just have to make sure that where there's the access points for Vicata, you have the view out. >> Okay. That was what I was Yeah. Okay. >> It's all the access points they're looking at.
149And we also had them look at the gym access because right the because the gym doors I'm going to recommend be replaced, but they think they can just replace the hardware on them. But we'll see what they come back with because >> Yeah, because we got to get new strike plates and all that on the gym to make it work. and then we'll see what they do >> and then we can go from there and see what happens. But they'll be because the hardware is shifting in the door. They don't know yet if it's a door issue or it's just a hardware replacement issue if those holes have worn out over time because it's broken and it's one side of each that's the most user getting in and out. So they put in the possibility
150I told them just place replacement for those two sets of doors in the gym too. Just be careful. But they could it could always come in less than when they pull that hardware off because the doors doors are good. They're not warped. It's a hardware to strike plates in the and the frame the mullion in the middle. This caused the issue because warp in both those doors open. So they might be able to replace the mullion and the hardware and it'll make it work. But this was I get I told give me the worst case scenario. That way we had what the max amount would be and we could go from there. >> Okay. I have one other question. Do we have enough electricity for all of this? >> Yes. >> Everything is is working
151properly as far as the juice. >> Yeah. >> Um and then um unless somebody has I have some more questions. >> Go ahead. >> Um with the cameras. >> Yeah. >> Where are we getting blind spots? uh cam that's under assessment and that when we have to get them the external corner cameras. So Angela is going to look at doing that uh when they're down here that that week of June 13th. Um so I will call her and let her know because I want to make sure you guys were aware of it before I had her start writing up quotes and everything. But we can do those. But there's going to be a couple other options. They may want to come down and Angela may bring their people down. Hopefully she come down next week
152is what she was hoping to look at. See if we can do telescoping cameras off the corners of the buildings. So we can do that and see what they would do instead of having to run everything out to the corner and run a camera there and look what this maybe put one up on the corner of the gym, one of the corner of the rock building that goes out to that back road and shoot down and then one here on the corner of the high school and see if we can get those three roads coming and see or we have to put two on the gym so we can get that way and that way because putting on the rock building don't get paint. Okay. >> Yeah. The new one that's that's that's taken over
153our maintenance agreement for the warranty camp out of Santa. >> So on that note, >> yeah. >> Um based on the way those are set, it's going to be recording any activity. It'll it'll start recording. It'll turn on and start recording um based on the parameters that are set. Yeah. >> And so I know we're storing up on the cloud. I know there'll probably be a cost associated. I don't remember what that is. >> It's an annual fee. >> You're probably based on where you're wanting to pos I mean safety is first. >> Yeah. >> But just FYI, we're probably looking at some costs associated with storage based on all of the activity that's going to be occurring in those areas. Just FYI. And the thing is once we get the parameters set up it
154can be done with suspicious instead of all activity it will record it but if there is like suspicious activity that when we go back and look we can tag a face tag a plate which will reduce the storage of >> yeah actually >> camet is the one that monitors it for us but because we don't have that motion sense and everything else it's not reporting license plates or facial recognition of cars and those types of things. It is storing the person activity, it tags person on the camera and it's stored in the cloud. But unless there is an alarm associated with it or we tag a facial person or license plate as possible, that's the issue is there's no license plates or no people in there. Like if we would get like they brought up,
155we get notices by mail of all sex offenders or arrest within a certain radius of our school. If we scan that into the system, it'll put it in and do it. So, it'll tag that person. We get an alarm or warning. Right now, as pointed out, there are no people in there that have been tagged as suspicious because we either don't have the sex offender, any criminal records to come with them or those or they can't get a clear enough shot like happened with our incident out there of that person for us to tag it and can facially recognize and go forward. So that's the issue right now with the system until we get those external cameras and we can tag and find out because they can run that face back against the database they
156have in the state of New Mexico and across the country and they can tell you if that person is there because we're not getting that quality footage. We're not being able to get us which is why they're recommending the external corner cameras to make sure we get that traffic int. We can get a list, but we have to also put people in. So, if we get the sex offender from the county, we can send that to them through their system. They scan it into the system. They'll put the name associated with it. And then if that person shows up, we'll immediately get an alarm on our phones. those of us that are administrators on the program >> and I do >> yeah just what I'm receiving matches what >> yeah obviously their database but >>
157okay I feel like I'm being a different came to the banquet and the grounds here are atrocious. There's still trees growing between the wall and the tennis court. There's trees growing out of the side of the auditorium. Weeds were taller than me. I don't know. I feel like we got to do something. Our campus is like no done. She said it >> part of this is landscaping with those guys and that was part of their class project this year and it's not been done. >> So I will get Damian Gilbert on it starting tomorrow. >> I've seen Dr. I've seen the the landscaping invest it can't be the entire campus. He has certain sections because I've worked with him on it. But the auditorium behind between the auditorium and the cafeteria, those weeds are taller
158than me. And I've seen the weeds and the trees growing between the tennis courts and the wall for over a year now. And the ones growing out of the side of the auditorium, they're still there, too. But we got to address these. >> Yeah. We're supposed to be doing it. So he's the one who's also respons. I'm sick of talking about this and beyond. >> Yeah, we talk about >> Yeah, we talk for about a year. I I have a I have a a question just because the comments I get from the community and I know you guys are here. Um do you know where they are during the day? Dave and I do Gilbert disappears. We've had this meeting with him. >> He is This is These are the comments. I'm just sharing what
159I've heard secondhand. Okay. I don't I've not seen it myself because I'm not here a lot either, but I think that he's a very frequent flyer down at the Elcar during the day is what I'm hearing. I think if you can't find him, he's down there. You think two people take sugar? >> Yeah. >> I don't know. I I'm just I've had it in the morning. What they're doing right now. Looks like >> everyone every day >> they always hurt >> for a year. I um I I just can't I can't emphasize how much that this campus looks like hell. We've got a graduation coming up less than a week and like three days >> and I was just astounded at the weeds. So I have I have another question. That's Barbie. >> I just
160renamed you. >> I didn't interrupt everybody. And I know you're working on getting the job descriptions and getting things ready where you can do a a VIP um and all of those things, but uh and I know you're busy and and you are too and and you know when you hire when you hire folks, you you want you expect them to do their job. Uh, you know, we talked about the possibility and of course this is something you guys are going to have to decide to do u being director of board, but whatever you're doing I'm sorry it's not working and so I don't know I I guess when as a manager what I am familiar with when I had these unfortunate um individuals that completely gobble your time um you got to do it
161to to get it back on track or you move on and then find somebody else. But is there a way that you can say the example given graduation is next week, you've got >> Saturday. >> This week you've got until you've got until Friday night >> to get all this done. This is where you got to be and you got to have it done by this time. Come back to me. Let me know when you're finished. >> That is their plan for tomorrow. I'm going go doing grounds for graduation tomorrow. I mean, they've always done it two days before they wax the floor on Monday, finish it on Tuesday, set it up today, and the 13th Friday will be done grounds for graduation. >> I I don't take a couple, but but it was in
162years past. And I don't remember living with that. So, that's always being done. I They weren't hired. No. >> So, at some point, it was different. >> Yeah. >> And there's missing tiles in the ceiling. There's holes in the wall behind the stage. And the whole building was in such a state of disrepair. I was dang I mean I can finally walk in here and I don't see I can see but in the auditorium there's ceiling files missing. That's an easy fix. And there's toilets up on the stage in the wall. >> Are the bathrooms in addition to the bathroom? >> The bathrooms were clean, I have to say. But the toilets were running constantly. And I had more than one person come up and say, "Hey, that stall on the end, the bathrooms just
163running." And you know, it was they're they're just running. No wonder our water bill is so high. >> That is what's being replaced this summer with all the sewer work in the toilets. I mean, it's been that way. And if we shut off the water to one, we shut it off all >> of them. >> That's the problem. >> And and we've done everything to shut it, but when people use them, they leave the handles down and jiggle. There's the connection on the inside. >> That's put signs jiggle the handles. >> I mean, I don't know. We can get on. >> Yeah, exactly. I have, but I I'm like I I was just, you know, it's just it's heartening to see >> after a year of having these am I ways in these projects with
164the plumbing. Correct. >> Yes. >> Moving forward or stand still till school's done. What's going on? >> 16th is when we do 13 to 16 when the last sewer and toilet projects are being done. So, I guess what I'm going to request um just because it's been an ongoing issue is uh we could have and I think we've made this request uh historically, but maybe not exactly like this, but I guess I would like a you know what I think I want them to come in here to the next board meeting and I would like for them to share what projects I I want to put them on the bus seat. I mean, I'm one board member. Is the rest of the board okay with that? >> Yeah, I'm fine. >> I I >> mean,
165>> I think there's a there's a creative way. Let's put some heat on them. I want them to give a presentation of what their plans, their ideas, their what they've accomplished, what they plan to accomplish, and we're going to hold their feet to the fire. >> It's hard to justify this. And Joel did it by himself. >> Yes. Exactly. >> And Mr. Foster and his bread was really good. >> Yeah. But you'll do a lot of the outside work, but I did more of the stuff. Um, he did the inside and HVAC, you know, seen this, seen that, you know, making sure the toilets worked. That was a little above Joel's ability, but outside you couldn't have asked for a better person. Um he might have been kind of slow but by God you know
166he got it done you know and I know that he went around in the elementary because that's the building I was in. He went in every day every single day four and maybe sometimes five times a day and he cleaned every single bathroom in that room including the staff. And so I it's not impossible. It's doable. And those were older territory, but those were much older gentlemen. >> Yeah. >> Anyway, and if he wasn't in turbing toilets and cleaning and vacuuming and doing stuff, he was outside riding a mower or running a chain like a, you know, the weed eaters. He was doing something. He was cleaning weeds out of the cracks in the sight. He was cutting down the trees, growing up randomly here and there. So, I just It's doable. I was here
167when I saw it done. It's not being done now. >> Okay. So, can you have them come to us and and share of course after you all whatever you need to do with them to get them ready for that um at the next board meeting? >> Yeah. >> Okay. We'll need make them we need to hold their feet to the fire. >> Okay. Um, >> ask one question real quick. Completely different tracks. >> KK. >> Okay. >> Kelsey, >> did anybody go look for the guy when he came on the grounds? >> It happened at 1:40 when it was reported. They walked out at 206. There was nobody on grounds because I went out and checked. I went and checked cameras. It was 1:40 and he left campus at 1:50. >> So he was we
168knew for 14 minutes he was here. >> There was nothing called in and we were both in PLC meeting. I was in the elementary he was there. >> To be honest, I still don't know what happened. >> Yeah. Me either. I wouldn't last. >> Yeah. Because >> this we saw it. So it last week I didn't hear his name until that may have been my like I was still lost then >> no we saw him leave the camera it didn't not leave the meeting until 2:00 or 2 between 2:00 and 2:06 to go outside because on the cameras you see him 1:42 walking out the side it's kicked at 140. You could see the image off where he was walking. And 142 is where the next camera picked him up up at Dennis Sports. And
169at 152 is when he was walking out between the auditorium and the old cafeteria. And then at 2:00 between 2:00 and 2:05 is when the call came in and walked out and walked out of our PLC meeting at the elementary. And then when they came back in, they told me what's going on. That's when I walked out see if anything was going on. on that. I came down and checked cameras to see the time. >> So they did tell you. They did tell you. >> Yeah. After the fact >> after 2. >> It was 20:06 and he left campus at 1:52. 14 minutes. And we looked at all cameras leaving and everything else. And there was no images of him leaving campus other than walking out through there. >> Let me see if I can
170clarify. >> Yeah. >> When you found out. >> Yeah. >> Cuz your first response to go find him. My first response is the walk out. I walked out and then I came down and checked the camera. >> So, did you go look for him before you checked? >> Yes. >> That That's what I'm I'm trying >> I walked out the back door, looked where the incident supposedly occurred by the tennis courts. >> Yeah. >> Walked out and then I came back and went to the camera to see what the event was. See where he went and he was small. >> I'm just trying to get details. What we probably should have done is at that point filed a police report. This school probably should have. That's just my opinion. What ended up? >> Yeah, but
171we didn't because I talked to Rex Spears and did there was no file complaint filed by anybody on that date. And I talked to Rex Spears today. >> It was the next morning that he filed it. He checked everything related with Corona. I'll have to check with Rex to make sure because he may not know. Now that I know the person that filed it, I can let Rex know because when he went back and looked, there was nothing at 24 hours that was called into dispatch. Let's put it that way. >> The officer actually came and met with him back, but from my understanding, he actually came and met. And that maybe it's part of our problem because we all have Mike Wood's phone number and if you call the sheriff is that all get
172processed through the right paper. if you don't call this edge >> and I think we take that for granted up here because we do know Mike and we have his phone >> and it has to be command chain of command so that there's proper might be the best thing like says yeah >> then it gets reported automatic >> right something so I think that's something we need to know I want to tell you interviews. I need because if I interview somebody I get chewed out because >> that's my next question with us. >> Exactly. We need to find out. You're right. Do you want me to do it in a timely manner? I can't call parents that are out gathering cows in Zeno. >> Exactly. So, and I agree with you, but I think we
173need to have a policy that we or we need to have a procedure in place that because you're right, Amanda, they, you know, they were upset because nobody ever gets informed, right? >> But some things I think they don't need to know. But overall, I think if it's just a generic um yeah, we need to pass it by our attorneys that we had an incident >> and this we are working on it, but this this is all we can share at this time due to legal counsel something along those lines that says >> yes. And there was something that went out, but I don't know if that went to just those that were >> elementary directly or if it was >> uh I guess I'm referring to Well, I'm not sure whether I assume they
174were talking about the title. Yeah. >> Yeah. See I think they were talking and we can't share that information >> but I think >> just a generic we had an incident but we cannot dare details >> right >> do our legal council has informed us that we cannot share detail but there was an incident on this day or you know I just think we need to have a little more >> there's a big difference between oh >> watch out so a big difference. >> But I but I think that's that's a huge deal. >> I think I I hear I felt it too even though from two different circumstances >> and I know everybody's busy. Totally get it. And and but at the same time those are the big issues. >> Um as as a
175parent um of course you know I've had two different situations. Um, and I guess my issue, which you know, I've been very, you know, and I'm sorry it's been a rough night, um, based on all the comments. Don't don't take it personally. >> Well, and I tell you that I know that you can't you can't though. And and and I saw you and I didn't want to draw attention to you and and make it worse, but I'm just going to and I know we're we're recorded here, so I'll be cautious, but um We got to move forward. We got to fix this and we got to move forward. >> But we need to move forward as a team. Yes. Some of those comments were not the team. >> But I think Mrs. Eldridge did a
176very nice job. >> And because that's what it takes is not necessarily, but it was it was one of the ones here to do public comment. She did a beautiful job >> in in closing that up. I was very cry. But we got to we got to move forward and and just being very black and white here is is the communication is huge. And all it takes and I know it takes a little bit of time and they're busy or whoever is going to do this. Um but just a a general letter because one some of these kids if their parents just have that opportunity to know what's going on and have that conversation at home, hey, this could happen and we're aware and you know just answer questions. everybody, they know that you're taking
177care of stuff and and that they have a chance, the parent and the student, and it's just a it's a prettier loop than just these things happening. >> And I know you're just trying to get stuff done, but it will get you in the butt um every single time. The gossip will come back and bite us. >> Yeah. >> And the gossip most of the time is not correct. and but it's always give them the right information they will come up with their >> but they're yeah and and it's always right to them and so I I'm just saying that I think we just need to communicate a little better and it can be generic >> and bring legal into it just say we cannot legally we cannot say give you details >> I'm going
178to bring up two points with this one not a single parent individual is called me at all on security in this room. There's an issue there. >> Yeah. >> If they're not willing to call, how can we react to an administrative team? And if you guys are getting calls, I need to know. Amanda needs to know. So, we need to reach out to people. >> We need to be able to help resolve this because it's my job as superintendent to correct these actions. But if you're getting calls from parents and trying to solve the issue, we can't solve an issue because our what we may be doing may be different what you guys are saying. So we need to make sure we're informed of what you're being informed so that way we can react in
179a positive way. But I have gotten not a single call on this issue since it happened. >> And I'm going to I'm going to ricochet. Okay. So this is what I think has happened and I agree. but should always go through the proper channels and that's anytime I get a phone call just so you know and you know and the rest of staff that is my that before we hang up that is usually that's the first question I ask have you gone through the proper protocol being XYZ okay what happened on this deal though is it was here that's when I started getting the phone calls is based on people's perception I'll just put it that way of how we reacted as principal, superintendent and school board. That's when I started getting the phone calls
180as they saw that and so to me that is all of us. You guys were involved in that. So that bypasses the process now it's here and that's how I looked at that and I think that's what happened. >> It just it it exploded and just to show you how quickly Okay, I think Brenda has a question. Yes, Brenda, >> she's on mute on mute. >> There she is. >> Sorry, there's a little bit of a lag. Hi. >> Um, so I I did want to state that after talking with our lawyer while doing the Title N investigation, um, because we did have questions about, you know, why is my child being interviewed um, without my permission? Uh, things like that. whenever we are interviewing all students within the school, we were told that that
181falls under the umbrella of the school. So, we are protected under that. Um, so that way we do not have to contact parents every single time we are questioning the students. Um, and then, you know, kind of to piggyback off of uh what Amanda was saying, I think that as long as we all have communication together as one, um, I think that the the community will feel a lot more secure. Um, I think right now we are wreaking havoc of what has happened in the past and so it's it's getting rough and tough right now because now the community feels like they have a voice. Um, and so, you know, we're getting a lot of push back as administrators and trying to do our jobs and pacify, but like Mr. Kloff said, whenever we don't
182know, and I understand the incident that happened at the school, but whenever we don't know, uh, what's going on as well, um, it's hard for us to do our job. And so I think figuring out a way to make the community feel comfortable and safe to come and talk to all of us so that we can all be on the same page would would really be key. Huge. >> Yeah. And I agree with you. I agree with Brenda. But I also think just a generic letter just saying, you know, just informing them, just educating our parents that we don't need your to tell you or, you know, I mean, I just think there's some certain things that I just think generically that we can put out there that will appease them. And if it doesn't
183appease them, get a lawyer. We'll we'll we'll see you on the courthouse steps. Well, I and I want to just I want to also add I hear you in >> in the initial response from the attorney to giving you all legal guidance and you're following the legal guidance, but at the same time, and Manda and Amanda, I know Curtis, you're fairly new. You're basically a Coronian now, but you know our culture. you know, you know, maybe in some school systems parents aren't as involved. Um, and maybe they're used to this type of thing on a regular basis. I will say it's been unfortunate that we've been hit with things that historically we don't have to deal with. >> And so this is new for everybody. >> Um, so what might work for the general public?
184You need to think about what's going to work for Corona. What's going to work for Corona? And I'm not telling you to do something outside of of legal counsel, but make sure, hey, maybe we better let send out a general letter just letting folks know. I know that takes time, but look at what it's doing to us now. And so maybe ask general counsel, what do you think? Maybe let them drop the letter. >> Um, you know, and and if you guys are busy and and get that sucker shoot out if they're good with it. But um yeah, we've got to think about what's going to happen if I don't let folks know what's going on here. So that will help in the communication that you're saying you're not getting. The next thing I just
185want to say as a school board member and as a parent with people coming to us maybe instead of going to you all. I think that there has been and I think a lot of it is because of even though there was a comment that it's not all pattern. I'm going to say it's all pattern but a lot of the students that have been here that are different than the kids that we've raised that know what they can and can't do or they're going to get their butts whipped when they get home. So, we have had some additional disciplinary issues and I think there's maybe been um because that's something we're not accustomed to. U maybe been a little lax on some things and so people are feeling like they got to take it up
186a level. I don't know. So, I'm just I'm just sharing that for whatever it's worth. If we if in fact kind of what I'm feeling if we tighten up there and we're consistent and we deal with these things head on and we don't let them ride and we deal with everything the same or consistent and stand our ground and we're assertive. I think that will help too. So that's that's all >> I just want to share. Go ahead. >> I just want to say I too have received um folks calling me, emailing me and first thing I asked him is have you gone to, you know, I I said I can't I can't deal with this. You guys not gone to act? And if they tell me no, then I'm like my hands are tied.
187you guys you're not doing the proper channels. So, but I do think communication with people I think that would solve a lot of some of the complaints, you know, I say I was better communicating last year this year. >> I know. And it has been a really sense. I agree. We've never seen this, right? I mean, not to my knowledge, none of my kids here since second grade, 35 years old. So, I'm just like, >> but now, but the comment that was made to pivot. We're ready to move on. >> Yeah. >> Slate move on. And I know it's hard for you, Amanda, not to venting at the school. Not at you. They're venting at the school. >> Well, their hands know that I love >> Exactly. >> But it, you know, they're venting at
188all of >> they and I just appreciate they care enough that they were here. >> Yeah. That's what you have to take away from all of this. >> 15 years I've been here, that's the first we've ever had that >> I know as many as when you asked the teachers to come tell us what they thought and what they >> or not just the teachers the staff and that was yeah that was huge. >> I think we need to do that again. Well, you know, at the start we get ready for strategic planning board. We got that process. >> But I think inviting them like we did the last time. I think that was huge, >> you know, and I think we need to have the culture of um positive things, negative things, doesn't matter.
189Bring it to us and you know, we'll try and fix it. If we need to fix something, we try and fix it. I still think they're a little soul shocked with having being empowered as much as they have been with the input and the feedback and everything else they've had. I still think there's still that transitioning happening of does this really happen or do neighborhood mean? I still think there's still that little bit of self talk still left you and it we have a lot of staff that come to us, but we have some staff that make snide comments or whatever out the hallway and expect things. But I'll just say this and I agree with everything said tonight, communication is going to be critical, taking everything forward, looking at this as a team, creating
190that team atmosphere back here again because based on conversations we had with staff, that team has been the elementary team versus the high school team. It's been the way the buildings have been run and we're trying to bring those barriers down because I think the other side of this is the two biggest things safety and discipline in school is everybody involved. We have to make sure like you said because our policies once we get the policies out of those matrices and handbooks can be updated because there's nothing in there on the the only thing we use for acceptable use the acceptable use policy we give students. We have a new cell phone policy. We have to adapt. We're putting input in with pet that we have to do. We either have to do lockers or
191sack for them to carry around today and not have access to. So that's the thing. Once we get those policies, we can do the ambush and all that like we've said all along. >> By the way, I I support that. I need to >> the problem's going to be is there such a demand for those bags, we'll be able to implement it by the start of school. I mean, they're already backordering those things. I've looked into it. Luckily, we're a small school. we can do it, but everybody has to wait till July 1 when the law goes into effect to buy them. If you buy them in advance, unless you're doing it already with the policy, everybody's putting orders in now. So, we'll get that resolved, too. So, the other option we have for that
192is for them to check them into the office until we get those bags here and we can have >> Yeah, we're getting ready to do that. >> Yeah. We got to figure out which vendor get We can get the gun or beun. It was brought for a class presentation approved by Mr. Johnson and Mrs. Dunlop. Mr. Johnson checked to make sure it was okay. There was nothing in there. And of course, >> sorry. >> Do you have it? So when he brought it in, he was supposed to bring it in directly to the office. Amanda asked him to bring it in, didn't do it. I went out there and asked him to bring it in, didn't do it. had to go to his class. You bring it or else he said he goes, "Well," he
193says, "Then you can go home. If you're not going to follow direction, you're going home. Go put it in your truck, take it home. We're calling mom telling you're being suspended for the rest of the day." >> So, let me ask you this. or is it a windm? >> Yeah. To me, you guys need to have a come to Jesus meeting with those kids and tell them you have this is a privilege to come here, not a right on boarding. >> We also need to be a little sensitive to the fact some of the things that so you're right and you're right to draw a hard line and build build a hard wall relationship >> I hate that because that's the stupidest thing for admin to tell your bu >> but it is true it's
194hard but there are so many of these kids that are fixing things that >> our little kids are so blessed not to have Yeah. >> As a parent, I do understand the security reason, but I also don't think that they understand that we've had um situations happen here that corona has never had happened before. >> So, it's a learning curve for us going forward on okay, this is the worst that are happening in this school. you know what, like I said, what are those steps put in place because our kids aren't good kids and I agree with you on that, but I think we also need to communicate that fact that we have never had these things happen. We're working with council. We've had this incident. You know, we're learning right along with you know
195what what do you think about drafting because we had a handful of folks here. Okay. They're going to share with others. What do you think about a nice little conclusion to everything that occurred in the last several months? Uh, still moving forward, but sending a general letter with the things that were discussed and the updates to all families within the school system and letting them know here's the things that been doing, here's the things we're working on, and here is what we're hoping as far as targets and goals and where we want to be. But I'd also like >> Oh, most certainly. Yes. >> I think the thing if we set targets and goals, we're setting ourselves up for failure. >> We can say what our overall >> and I'm not saying ourity. >> Yeah.
196But I'm just thinking that if we're looking at targets and goals, I mean, >> you don't want to set yourself. >> I think that's the thing we got to look at. I think we do a positive letter to go out to communicate the steps we're taking and everything else. But saying that the ultimate conclusion is going to be here till we have those reports from the Lincoln County Sheriff and >> I mean >> well that's the thing I don't think you can share them very >> all these details have to say okay this is what's being discussed here's what's happening we're looking at securing buildings put additional cameras in those >> things is going to Uh, one final question. >> We hired a FA teacher. >> We have an offer. We're waiting, >> but we
197also have another one that applied that we may be interviewing. So, she doesn't She has until Friday to respond. >> Okay, cool. >> And I realize you got it mother. Does the one uh last name start with an L? >> No. [Music] Okay. opening. >> Well, we're waiting on one elementary teacher um because we had a person resigned today who's going to be assigned to elementary. We have one elementary opening. We have a high school social studies opening and we have Marissa's PE business opening that we're going to look at doing as a district-wide PE health position. and and possibly a CTE class because one of the candidates we have does have a CT background. So, we're going to actually have a district-wide PE health teacher so we can teach all the stuff we need
198to do through the curriculum. We've ignored elementary health for a while. Um, but with the new health and fitness standards that are coming with new graduation, that person is going to be districtwide e health. So we can do some things with them doing their leadership or their CP academy over in the elementary so they get planning time and like that together. So we're interviewing candidates I think next I think we got them set up next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday we have >> probably stay after meeting effective immed >> that's only five days. Yeah. All right, I move to this meeting. [Music] >> 8:35. All those in favor signify by saying I. >> I. I
