001to the stand one nation under God indivisible and justice for all any comments or questions about the agenda say carries public comments and administrative reports Miss Jolene you're first um just have some of adjustments to go over I just called the auditor today because I haven't got my okay print yet haven't received my audit yet I thought I'd get it by now but I haven't yet so I'll call her again tomorrow I just missed didn't nothing closed at four so I'll follow up and see where we're at on that but um the main thing is um well it's not very big but a little bit on Perkins Grant that's our final amount $182 I think we had initial it was 15,000 so that was in conjunction with the CTE grant money that Mr Parker got
002the other is basically just some maintenance items moving money um where I'm have a short call software line and advertisement board travel line I need to add some to that as well as um I'm putting some more money in for repair on the buses so hopefully that's enough but we'll see I'm not exactly sure ex wrong yet with them both of them down in the bus department for sure and uh under CTE um just some money moving a little bit of money over there for we got that fork we need to put a little bit more in that line and um as well as that under py Foundation it was a grant that they're doing for some professional developments a little bit of money in there otherwise I that's about all we got going leing
003around any questions thank you um Mr Barbie this month seems like we had a lot of stopped up sinks we've been working on they've been a battle had some heater issues but most of them just been nothing serious minor repairs have had the bus issues this month yellow bus is at GS and hopefully it'll be done tomorrow they ordered a h from killer and then changed out the PCV valve when we pick it up we'll take the white bus B C to up to them and put their machine on and read the codes and try to figure out what installing still waiting on j& G to show up to finish certifying our firearm system they're supposed to come on February the 3rd to finish up waiting on a quote to replace heaters and a shop

005legal now that is I mean that would be a bad idea our trucks are $8,000 every time ours messes [Music] up any other questions thank you I got an email today Mr Barbie in regard the with the starting Daye for the roofing I can't remember his name here they were supposed to be here on the 20th but then again you know due to the uh the weather then that kind of delayed some but I believe it's uh sometime this week Gary that they'll be here to do the central office um Roofing I have to find it okay thank you special [Music] education everyone well shoot let's see 80th day we have no issues erors have been fixed we'll wait on 120th day when it happens and we'll fix them no wait for 160 we'll fix
006them so everything was cool there I attended them Statewide bed director's conference in January that was pretty helpful the first week of January um the indicator 13 file review all the DAT has been uploaded that's usually a major headache for the district indicator 13 is where we have to prove that what we're doing for our secondary kids is going to be beneficial in the future um so that's been taken care of um and of course I have my Pawa with the PED this morning for 90 minutes to deal with the bureaucracy of the osc and U so we're cool there um there is one big chunk of our cat that was taken care of this morning uh and I'm behaving myself with those Folks up there so everything's cool and they're still funding us and
007no one's been fired and we're not going to take over or whatever their threats are everything is fine special ad everybody's working hard get you Lear questions thank you so you had a meeting this or today with ped over what our corrective action plan that we've been working on for I'm sorry for three years the way it works with the office of Special Air which is busted off from the PED now is you make one little error um in this case we missed a deadline um a 60-day deadline and when you do one little thing they basically put you on a plan which is basically Penance um which lasts for years and years where you justify that yes we've learned our lesson we're not going to make these mistakes again well it's still going on
008because every time we upload something they nitpick it and then we have to correct those things let me give you an example of of what I mean by the bureaucracy of the osc so um the gal looked me dead in the face on zoom and said you need to have a training with all of your special ed staff and your administrators and they need the train needs to be SL are ensured that they understand the 60-day timeline between when you sign in eval and eval happens and I said to them you really want me to have a training on that when I can just go tell them it'll take 15 seconds plus everybody already knows that we knew that three years ago when you put us on the plan and basically she didn't Flinch and
009it's like yeah so it's like oh okay so every time you take one step forward you take two steps back basically and now that the OS has been invented which happened two years ago you got a whole new block of bureaucrats basically that need to justify their jobs and that's why I behave myself with this and do as I'm told but really it's like there is no reason for a corrective action plan when all that has been already corrected but you know send us 10 IEPs so we can nitpick them to see if you're actually doing what you said said three years ago it's like we couldn't have an IEP if we hadn't done that 3 years ago it's like um let me example you know like remember about two weeks ago I think Trump
010said something crazy like I think I'm gonna get rid of the Department of Education you know he said that and of course I was like Trump says the funniest darn things now I started thinking you know what because he he said the funding source is still there well that's all we need is just the funding source if you look at it even at the Statewide level you know all we need is the funding source we don't need them to tell us what to do you know we've got the local board to tell us what to do it's like it it actually makes sense if you look at it fun Us in other way we might need stuff like you know like the nmaa or something like that you know where there's real rules but other
011than that it's like leave pman schools alone you know we'll let you know we want to check you know did that answer your question okay it happens all the time not something new she emails me all the time we're GNA meet at 1 o'clock and it's like 12:55 you know I'm like oh good thing I read my email thank you any other questions thank you uh SRO he's not here he's not here all right [Music] Elementary all right here's a report I have made notes that I missed that I did not put in so we We'll add to it our enrollment is uh 2117 we've had uh one student transfer back then we added a prek actually three prek students and another first grade student since Christmas break so um our attendance is around 93%
012um each day uh December 19th we held our Christmas program we did something a little bit different this this year is we did prek through first and then did an intermission and then did second through fifth um because the previous year it was so crowded people couldn't get in and see and so uh that worked out pretty well uh the only thing we really got to adjust is I need somebody in the cafeteria to police all the dads not to take the cookies because they had platefuls there's a lot so that was a good adjustment on Friday my dates are all on Friday the 20th we had a house day for those kids who came um I'll send you this in a electronic version and you can check out the video that Miss Flores created
013so we introduced a new game head shoulders cup and uh needless to say Alina de laor is our champion and she wears that with pride so she's going to get challenged here at the end of February they we're bring it back out uh there's our December Super Readers uh and amazing mathematicians I also added when ah had added our January Super Readers and January amazing mathematicians um we did our fall Awards assembly on Friday January 17th is originally scheduled for the 10th and then we rescheduled it just because with the weather of that first week um we wanted an opportunity everybody to come and stuff like that we are looking at ways to make that more efficient uh because it's long and the other thing is uh police parents from leaving because they just get
014up and leave and take their kids so some of that stuff we're adjusting um the other big change things before I get to that um we departmentalized our fifth grade we had been talking about it in the fall looking at test scores um that gave us the time to get to know Flores as she came in she has a master's in reading and is a really really strong reading teacher and so looking at test scores looking at how can we best prepare our fifth grade students for Middle School uh we did we decided to departmentalize our fifth grade so miss Flores is doing uh Ela and Science and Miss Foster is doing math and social studies um part of that reason is Miss Flores says we were talking about it Miss Flor said I can't
015teach social studies and why can't you teach it she's a really good teacher and she's like well I didn't have it I said well who's our first president she goes I don't know you and so it was kind of like a pipy TIY from the Philippines she she doesn't know all that kind of stuff so she really loved science and so we kept everybody in their in their strong subjects uh so that instruction increases the quality of instruction increases and really just to help prepare our kids um for Middle School uh a couple other things our canopies got replaced on the Elementary playground they all have holes in them from the weather and stuff so those got replace this week uh next week they should come and replace a Sandbox cover um and so that
016is on its way um with the weather of the first week of Elementary developed a remote learning plan that will be found on we also created an Elementary homepage that will be adding to um but it'll all be there on those remote learning days that we need to have due to weather um couple other things coming up Miss Rodriguez Miss copelan uh Miss Lopez and myself we head out tomorrow to the high reliability School Summit in San Antonio really looking forward to that we'll be there the rest of the week we'll come back on Friday um by side which has been at the secondary schools in January started at the elementary schools so there's six of us be included um who's getting coaching and mentoring from an experienced uh admin or teacher and so the
017response from our staff has been really really good on that uh they will get seven visits in this semester so it's it's pretty every two weeks every three weeks uh they're coming so which is a good thing um and then on February 28th um Exel which is the the skill-based program that the the Middle School's been doing we purchased in December and they will be on campus February 28th to train all of our staff and stuff and so we're already seeing some good results kids mastering skills um and stuff so we're excited about that um upcoming events February 6 actually this Friday back up this Friday we have our spelling fee at 1 o'clock February 6 we have our drama performance of Alice and Wonderland Miss C has been working with that group they're excited

019this is what Cody's got enrollment has remained relatively steady from the fall few migrant families have returned to Mexico we have one new ninth grade student and we lost one high school and one Middle School student to Lake Arthur uh the attendance we continue to see positive Trends with attendance um I know that we had some holes in our policy we kind of found those out as we were going through the no zero Heroes and uh looking at kids that we need to withhold credit from um we kind of fixed that up we had a meeting at the beginning of the semester we figured out how Synergy can run reports for us a little bit more accurately and uh now we're getting those detailed reports and and checking attendance weekly to see uh who's falling
020behind and and where they're at and that way we have a a better understanding of what procedures we need to take to make sure that these kids are are staying in school uh but when it comes to final many students were able to capitalize on their good attendance for the fall semester and were exempt from final exams uh we highlighted those numbers in our awards ceremony when we came back on F uh that first Friday second Friday that we came back second Friday because the first one snowed up um a lot of students uh I think 30 something students in the high school I know uh were no zero Heroes they had hundreds on like all their finals or at least one of their finals and then there was I think seven 70 students it
021had at least a 990 and one their final so a lot of kids took advantage of it it helped a lot of students um with their final semester grades uh Middle School student council is selling candy grams for Valentine's Day and they are hosting another dance on January 31st in the high school Commons area first one was a huge success the junior class host a very successful Bingo night fundraiser last Friday uh they have one more fundraiser plan for the spring and they will have the concession stands at the youth basketball games which will start in February February 8 um back school PD teachers took part in some activities Ki off the new semester one of the most informatives was the start stop continue activity where staff members gave their insights on things that we

026I attended the leadership workshop for Career Technical education um this is kind of a requirement Workshop to receive Perkins and next gen State funding for our Career Tech programs uh as Miss Jolan said we did get an increase of $182 to our 15,000 um I'm going to take that $182 don't know what we're going to do with it but we're going to take it we're going to use it um as we keep progressing through February 3rd opens our um APR process and so some of our processes that haven't been fully complete in the Years P before this race and I started doing this and rebuilding our CT funding and getting these funds in 're required to have some committee meetings and so technically today we had our first leadership committee meeting and so I'll be
027working on and inviting some of you guys to be joining our full CTE committee meetings that were required to turn in for ped they require for our funding things like that um in that aspect for the federal law that has changed and will continuously change with Department of Education um it's a fun time dealing with those people up north um some of the graduation requirements have changed a little bit um there's some requirements our region has changed some they pretty much forgoed but the term stand is no longer a term in education the higher up said I don't want that no more and they threw it out um and our region actually made that a priority and so our region has to kind of revote in all of our priorities before we can actually unlock
028our APR and start moving forward and building our regional district and local priorties um just like Athletics FFA is getting going um we're going to start judging season in about 3 weeks we have nmlc coming up next week which will be our Junior High State event for four individuals competing to an illustrated top one in compar one in um Creed so that's going to be pretty excited to see how these kids do um cash Foster is actually will actually be one of the first sixth graders in the state to compete on the F Creed side of things um one of probably one of the first in the nation um since six graders have been allowed in FFA so it's really exciting p is making these waves um trip Moss is the first sixth grader never
029walked stage in state new mexic for a high school event and so now we have cash walking for hopefully going to be walking competing on the state level so it's pretty exciting to see these little things um I don't have too much for you guys right now um until February as we'll kind of start getting a little bit closer into that CTE Grant period um I know for sure the numbers are increased we're looking at maybe about 115,000 we probably receive out of the two grants next year so hopefully it keeps going up and we can keep purchasing new things and program better that's time for questions any questions right um next item is the am minut from the December 16th and new investment bills from the month of December is there any questions motion
030fav say budget adjustments any other questions from just motion to approve motion next item is uh PSC um so yes so just uh Friday I received an email from uh you know psfa and so basically I just wanted to share some of these important updates regarding the the new school project and so psfa they have provided a revised GSF which is you know like the square footage you know they have a new calculator which could potentially increase the building total to 83,5 187 Square footage which you know compared to the current qualification of 69,7 32 which you know it's significantly higher and so this additional space would require a formal request to the uh PS C and uh you know again it could have a significant impact on the overall design of the school so
031I have already reached out to psfa to request further guidance you know not necessarily but letter yet because I need further guidance on the process and then of course to determine the potential cost involved um I also spoke with uh Decker which you know they are our design company and their recommendation if we do decide to go with the you know extra footage then you know to possibly use this additional square footage for areas such as a larger cafeteria possible office spaces or you know similar needs rather than expanding more classrooms uh because you know sometimes it just results in unused classrooms so um next week we will be holding a kickoff meeting and I you know I will be contacting you you know some of you or all five of you want to be
032here that would be F great you know which requires the presence of all you know like a key stakeholders so that we can ensure everyone is informed and align the me will be on the 4th at 3:00 and again I will be sending you an email and if you're interested please let me know so before moving forward you know I'd like to gather just your input on whether this is a you know this is an opportunity that we should Explore More you know and um as they will give us you know additional space but let me know your thoughts and and if you would like you know to discuss this further during our upcoming meeting which will be on the 4th I know it's going to be a little bit more money today as a
033matter of fact we um or Rael she already did the uh purchase order so that we can pay for our part and I believe our PCH the purchase order was $328,000 it's going to be a little bit more if we decide to go with the additional U square footage but it's going to be significant because I believe like the J over here at the middle school that one is like 7,000 so just imagine I mean it's going to be from 69 to 83 it it's a good a considerable amount so so you're saying two gyms you're not getting to do new gyms no three because we're already getting new ones two extra a room and there we go yeah you know in my email today that I submitted to TOA let me see right quick
034I mentioned to and I haven't received a response yet so I'm hoping that um that I get a response tomorrow okay so how many offices are we needing I mean I know like SRO they always mention an office is there anybody else that so we do have the kickoff meeting this coming uh week and then you know that's why he Lo he would like to have all the key you know all the stakeholders and and possibly parents and that way you know we can discuss what our needs are and that would be our first uh you know meeting so basically you know this is what I I mentioned to the psfa today you know I hope this message finds you well I'm writing to follow up on your application for okay a waiver regarding the
035construction of the new combin prek-12 school for hegerman Municipal schools okay so basically I'm just asking is this in the mou as well as just for the design project so let's see that say um we understand that the updated GSF at calculator could allow for additional square footage for our new school I would appreciate your guidance on submitting a formal request to P psoc to account for these potential changes specifically could you clarify the best time to submit the letter requesting the adjustments whether additional costs will incur by the district as the result of applying for the waiver so we already have a waiver and there was a certain amount which you know if the amount stays the same because you know we do have a waiver then we should be okay um however the
036first part for the uh design our card was supposed to be 6 I believe it's 624 th000 and it was half of that it was 328 so you know that's going to give us extra money there and then again you know whether additional cost will be incurred by the district as a result of applying for the waiver and increasing square footage your expertise and insights are invaluable as we navigate this process you know we are committed to ensuring that the new school needs the needs for our students and Community while staying align with the psfa requirements please let us know if there is a convenient time for us to discuss this further or additional information is needed from our end I look forward to your response I haven't heard anything however I mean we can
037I mean I really just wanted to we don't really need to make a I guess you know an approval on this but I just wanted you to be informed I mean if this is something that you want to do and maybe we can pursue it I still want to see them get it done by 2027 so today I have to submit some uh documentation some paperwork that I have to upload and the completion date is February 2028 oh close so but it was November 27 now it's February the 28th and they haven't even started yet and they haven't even started so the Plummer hasn't even and I know that this is a very slow process I mean it's not an easy task it's a slow process but I I think it's going to be something
038nice you know for the years to come and so I mean I in my opinion I think it's worth it we probably will Mr Decker he will be giving me some uh numbers how much more it will cost so right now the way we had it our share was um psfa would pay 75% Hagerman would pay 25 but with the waiver it now psfa will pay 88% and our share is 12% which is really not a whole lot yeah I think it's going to be do about the whole what the breakdowns and differences are going to be of if we put in the waiver and we do get that additional 20,000 how much is that going to change so so you know the waiver has already been submitted and and it was granted so if
039we keep the same I mean if they can give us their square the square footage with the same waiver I think it's a win-win situation right but if not then you know they might request a little bit more money for the waiver well they won't make us redo the whole process if we do no but I do have to submit a letter though and you know I'm just because this just barely came out and I thought well you know we have a board meeting so I'll mention it to them and uh I mean it just came out and and that's why I just wanted to let you know but I don't think so because basically it's just a letter that I have to submit once they are ready and they have more information and then
040U just to let them know that we are requesting the new calculations and again you know you don't have to vote on this so basically it's just you know hopefully once I have more [Music] information I think there's probably too many unknowns yes scar to add you know 14,000 square feet to and what cost well it's one of those I wonder if it's one of like we could have it but not need it well that's what my other question was if we get approved for it do we have to use it use it that's what I would be and I think you know the best B will be to listen to the um Mr Decker which his name is San and see what he has to say because that's what you was saying you know
041that instead of using it in the classrooms to build additional classrooms that potentially you won't even use then maybe you know you could build a cafeteria or maybe an auditorium and I think one thing that we need is some sort of dedicated space for you know inclement weather where we could put elementary kids and they can still play in you know like an elementary elementary gy not a full gym or even for for elementary PE that way way you know the wear and te is off the courts and even yeah and they don't have to walk across the stre however it's going to be or even you know um and I'm just thinking highend here it doesn't have to be that fancy but like the the administration building in Aria you know it has so
042many different partitions that it's just this huge space but you can partition it off and you know maybe we can have conferences going in one thing or we can put students going in different areas you can have a parent meeting here and some sort of Workshop there but it's just some sort of space that's available for whatever we need um almost on demand long as we don't turn it into big storage yeah yeah storage we do need stor or added staff bathrooms you know that aren't all out the front where you have to walk all the way I think a bad thing if we did get it if we get I I agree with the classroom thing because bigger classrooms just going to lead to kids spreading out more you put more stuff on the
043floors you see that as a bad thing well they start tend to carrying more junk with them the teachers they more Stu one in particular I say just 5000 people sh J so we don't have to give an answer today no I no and you know and I think I would prefer that we have more information hopefully by next month you know give a square foot cost per I mean could you right now it's anywhere from $700 to $900 it's pretty expensive I can it's a lot2 billion I said 13,000 was it at $200 it was like 1.9 mil 13,000 a square foot so it's like 10 million is it would take inflation or it's going to be deflated so sell the border wall the old border wall so maybe use some maybe we get
044a boardroom yeah you that one of those get some ofs your buddies taking can make it's not a budget oh I'm sorry hey you guys are lucky this is a really nice one okay extr is very simple just table before they do the hospitality for basketball do we need to table this to I yes until we have more information I Mo a motion that we table second fav I suppos to name think tabled till after at least next week or so hopefully next week he uh Mr Decker or from Decker Farm you know he'll be able to provide us more information and he'll give me some numbers and then of course you know I'm hoping that psfa will respond I think it's worth they're gonna have to foot the bill some too right for we
045think so yes no they they definitely do it's not going to be you know yeah but I'm just hoping that you know with the wer that our part you know that will be it that's what I'm hoping what 13 million or something that's a lot of money it is a lot of money all right uh next item payment to Aon okay so um I got pict during the uh dick pink event Mr Rodriguez you know he fabricated and and donated I don't know if you guys were here but he donated a really nice quality uh corn hole board and I mean it generated a lot of money I really tried to buy it I wanted to buy it for my my kids here at school at the high school kids but anyway somebody else beat
046me to it and I asked A-Rod if you know he had any more um so I asked him if you know if he could go ahead and and and U you know build two of them so we could use you know at the high school you know sometimes the kids don't really they don't have anything to do during their I call it their re say is still their bre tongue but and I think that this is going to be something that they will enjoy um I asked AA to create this however into in looking into the procurement and some of the guidelines we are not to be using employees we cannot be paying employees okay I made some phone calls and today I contacted um you know CES and one of the guys said yes
047you know it can be done if it's activity funds well this is going to be paid through activity funds but then there's so many contradicting you know like okay yes you can do it no you cannot there's some information that I got here so she's I'm not Hing you I mean this is for this is for the kids and you know it says here in most cases schools in New Mexico and many other states must adhere to the uh you know strict policies when it comes to paying employees for goods or services particularly under procurement and conflict of interest laws typically these policies are guided to and then there's you know like um I mean there's like you know whatever our board policy is we don't really have a board policy for that and then
048it says here that uh the New Mexico public education does not explicitly prohibit schools from purchasing goods or services from their own employees however such transactions are subject to strict regulations to prevent conflicts of interest and ensure compliance with state law again this is not going to be now but it says here for instance Albuquerque Public Schools require that any contract over ,000 involving an employee must be disclosed and approved to ensure it is conducted at arms length meaning that employees do not influence the transaction due to their position aod did not influence anything and it's not over $1,000 this is going to be what $600 and um it's for the kids it again this is you know activity money that will be used to to pay him so I'm requesting that you approved and
049that we just are transparent just in case the the uh auditor says something about it I'm gonna ask just to ask but don't we have a shop class with the kids can actually build them you know what maybe that's in the future and I think that would be great future in the future why not now um because our woodworking equipment we upgraded it this year and so I'm in the process of installing the new stuff right now I saw their doghouses yeah no ume the homeless shelter out yeah let me Pat my design and then they can do whatever they want how many are you bu two they're already done they're ready I think each board member should get one for [Music] free one board or one set I give you a bag We Are
050One board one board you are one board you know this is for the kids and I use activity funds for fireworks whatever it is but in this case I just want to be transparent and and I asked him if you know if he could do this for the [Music] kids tips on first game and I think the kids are they will enjoy them so we going to set them up over there between them or just Endor probably outside of the Theo the patio and then we're just going to have to you know take them inside because it might go just like your basketball shop Flo I saw it have no no choice but to go in if you so high you know it it's the same situation that I'm you know dealing with right now
051now with the Parker and it's really hard okay first of all you know we are a small district and sometimes we have to use okay for example we pay Parker for DJ Services whether it's prom any kind of dance with this you know with this you know not being able to pay employees then that means that we have to find somebody from elsewhere we pay Parker sometimes $100 $200 he doesn't really want to charge so you know we use activity money to pay for that which is for the kids as well but then you know if we can use him then that means that we have to hire somebody from the outside and it's going to be $1,00 or more and we can't afford that but we just can't be paying employee they can't get
052a1099 and a W2 and so the limit on that is like 600 bucks yeah I going to say it's you're right there not there you're not there yet questions because otherwise if you're paying your employee you also need to get you in retirement and we need the school would need to pay for retirement and all of that that goes with it questions concerns we're okay with the policy with even not having something in place yes we yes we are okay there less than a th and again you know I just want this to be transparent okay motion to I'll make that motion second think you would make the bo [Music] uh next item is speed bus okay so on on this one we this is we just want to be proactive you know we and
053Parker's going to tell you a little bit more so apparently this uh last week and I don't know if you heard or saw on Facebook or the news that apparently in a school in Texas I believe yeah Boulder Texas a boulder Texas Okay so a little girl second year second grader was um you know this was that the um parent drop off and the mother I don't know somehow Parker do you have that information um the jacket got caught in the in the door as she got out uh and the parent did not know and the parent took off driving and Drug Dr long story short uh the second grader passed away du to the injuries um right there in the middle of the drive line of school and so um Cody had sent it
054to me just and sent it to all the different admin and so I was getting thinking like we really don't have any speed bumps on campus um there's mornings I'm walking over here to meet with Cody or something and parents were running late or things like that I'm I'm scared of my life and I'm an adult um sometimes in that drive line when parents take off because they take off very fast um one of our vendors um Northern Tool um they do sell speed bumps they range from $50 to $80 um they're really easy to install they're just the rubber ones um you hit them most schools have them um you hit them it's going to slow you down I mean it's gonna bounce the crap out of you um and so I kind of
055was proposing and talking to miss Rees like it might be a good idea to add and Williams and I talk a little bit about it with staggering them through the drive line um just to keep people slowed down no matter what um even though there's three lanes four lanes there you never know what's going to happen just be proactive um I would hate to be walking across and someone get hit myself get hit um sometimes these little kids in the mornings they just take off running and the people controlling conducting traffic might not notice them until it's too late and so anything to just protect our little ones and even our high school kids they're walking across the street three or four times a day um I would say maybe five to six speed bumps
056just maybe not even that many but stagger them throughout the drive line or even one going into the student parking lot just to help sow kids down and make our campus a little bit more smooth and safer for everyone you know we do I did I contacted Michelle we she says well this street was practically you know donated to us let's put it that way so we can do it if we want to but then again I mean there's this is another item that we probably have to just you know look into it more because I need to make sure that it's not that it's a city and maybe you can help us a that you know is it the city that we need to contact is it the state but I think you know
057when it comes to the safety of the kids we definitely need something out there I mean we had we we already had a fender vendor this year this year and um you know people they're not paying attention they're looking at the phone texting and then we had another one that almost ran into over one of the teachers you know one of the the U the teachers who who they're doing you know the U helping the students there so I mean I'm I just think we need to be proactive and we have those speed BMS it's going to to help just anything to slow down traffic I've I've seen a lot of traffic even on the main drags just people help that and believe me you know that was the best thing that we could have
058done you know just uh the drive have the the drive line and it has helped tremendously but you know I mean just thinking of what happened to this poor little girl so are these more of a temporary are they permanent or they can go either way um the ones I was primarily looking at you just it comes with a metal steak and you hammer it right into the ground um which would be very proactive for us just because we're going to be going in the phase of construction going in the phase shifting stuff around like we don't want to be pouring pavement and then six months down the road be like oh crap we're going have to tear it out like um least these like if they wear down get ruined we can easily replace
059them or move them around and stuff like that to change traffic patterns um they have they have like six or 12 different models the ones I found are the ones I absolutely hate hitting really hard um and so I don't like hitting them I'm sure other people especially in some of the cars around here aren't going to want to hit them um and it'll just really force them to slow down I want to say they were $52 and it came with two staks and a the rubber speed bump yeah and that'd be my question like Miss racial saying do we need to to the city or state before we just start pounding Stakes into into the road that's basically the school's road right there yeah and that's what relle said that it was really the
060schools but then okay so that's the town but what if the the state says no you can't do that so I I just need to make sure that we look into that and and really you know the approval today was just so that you know if you want us to look into it I know when they did the made it the one way I think they kind of talked to the people that affect in like your folks and all yeah I know you know at the time when they did that they didn't mind that I don't know if a speed bump they care about that or not I would I will say this they're going to complain about it just because I see how one of the the young gentlemen at that house drives down
061our street off hours um that's inevitable and that thing is way he comes into that street if we're having act SCH activities he's going to hit someone I've left the school pretty late and I've seen and like m r says I mean it's a proactive outside of the cones really there's nothing stopping kids from or adults kids students to drive power fast they want and so at least this is a deterrent um and for for me as far as protecting kids and staff I'm all for it you know if we need to put it in tomorrow I'll be here tomorrow H or room because it's just going to help protect um our staff and our kids as they cross cross the road the students are told to go around though right n the students drive
062through here I know the students you know we probably have a few in the mornings that probably drop off their siblings but rarely most of them normally when I'm coming in if I'm running weight most they're dropping off a middle school kid they're coming on the backside dropping off their younger sibling and then pulling around it's and and you know and maybe this is something you know like maybe a a summer project I don't know I really think that we probably need to it's so confusing the way our the lanes are they're just like zags and going every direction about our crosswalk L the yes and I think that we need to repaint and delete some of those it would help um no diagonals I think they all need to be straight the diag get
063to where people are just walking across and that that becomes more of a safety so it' almost be Middle School to Elementary Middle School to central office and then those are your two that that you cross I know we talked about it at one point but you know I can look into it if you guys you know but then again you know I'll call the state and and see what um yeah I I think it's a good thing I wouldn't be stingy with it either make sure you have plenty plenty of them all the way down all the way down to your mom's house two cents yeah and down sou the JY I no I I I totally agree and even yeah no you're right I hate parking lot Duty in the mornings like some
064of those high schoolers come in and I'm like I'll text an SRO like hey come talk to this kid yeah you know I had also looked into or Gary and I had looked into uh getting a a gate over here going to the high school at this point I think it was what what was it Gary like 38 $44,000 somewhere around there but at this point because until we know exactly what what's going to happen with the U you know our new school we better Gates yeah it was one of those nice we have aass too pip swing G maybe wers are working those are working hey let's get some benches going then chairs and some cool things that is actually our next project we're fixing the start so any other questions or any you
065got two 78 SP you just throw out there on the road for right now that's what the ranchers are doing down the lease Road cut a piece of casing in half c yeah I wouldn't go cheap on the speed bu either um I'll make a motion to approve the checken into it I guess my I'll say favor say I I post okay motion carries Miss ra is you ready ready for me okay so um I don't know if some of you have ever looked at my uh newsletters but I do send them every Sunday and I do have a letter there which is uh talking about the uh inclement weather and I've had it there for you know this is like the third uh week and basically you know what we are doing and Mr
066Williams talked about it a little bit Mr Williams already posted about his remote learning days and and so did Miss Cody so basically we we don't have a lot of snow days and I don't know if you recall last year we used a lot of days for wind and you know all the gust that will probably happen again or maybe not because we've been getting snow so maybe you know that should be okay however you know and I know that it it's really difficult to be out of school for wind but in this area it is a you know it's a hazard and so that's why you know we have so many of them and you know right now we do have some days embedded into into you know for income and weather however you
067know if we use too many days then we have to make them up at the end of the year so we do have the option to be able to go into remote learning however it's not just going into remote learning and you know call it remote learning the teachers they need to have a plan so the teachers you know at the secondary level it's really simple because the kids know know how to use Google Classroom so the assignments will be into you know Google classroom and then the teachers are required to have office hours you know just in case that the you know the parents or the kids they need to so so the teachers need to provide like a zoom and that will be their office hours for the Elementary uh mark would you
068like to talk about your your plan a little bit I mean yeah we um we created a Elementary web page um when you're on the homepage on the side of that of the picture there there's an elementary button um and that'll send you to the elementary homeage and then on there there's a remote learning and they can click and then there's activities for all grade levels for reading and math and so um if we need to update that as we get further down the year then it's easy to update because all the all the pages are posted um and stuff so we'll uh me with the leadership team we'll start adding to that more content there then next year we'll really use that where teachers will have their own page and stuff like that and
069you know and it doesn't mean that there's going to be a cancellation but you just never know what the with the weather this week we are supposed to be getting snow I don't know how much and uh but if we do you know we will be prepared and we will call it a remote learning instead of you know just a cancellation will all the kids participate probably not but at least we're covering ourselves and then you know we are prepared just in case we have too many so we probably have we could probably use about three after that then you know it starts we have to make them up at the end of the year okay so that is you know posted and then we do have uh the links where you know you can
070actually uh go into each uh page then um I hope you don't mind but I went ahead and posted your pictures on the website so I don't know if you guys saw them and and uh you know so just basically with the note and letting people know that it's a board appreciation week and that's why we have the dinner so thank you very much you know and uh it says here honoring the dedicated members of the hegerman Board of Education their hard work and commitment make a lasting impact of our students in in the school so I'm just uh requesting you know take a moment to talk to thank our board members for their service so you know a simple thank you goes a long way so I hope you guys receive emails and and
071we have your picture so thank you for everything you do so we do have early dismissal uh this Wednesday and uh students will be dismissed at 1 pm once again we will be having the Bobcat Bible break and uh that will be they'll they'll come you know from the church and pick up the kids from 12:40 you know by 1 o'clock they'll be out and then uh they will go over to the church and they the kids will be there till about 4:00 I mean in the past the last one I think they had like do you recall was it 70 kids I believe 79 I believe somewhere around there and the kids really enjoy it and I think this is a great opportunity for our students uh we are helping them and you know
072we receive money from uh TNT and we are helping them with uh donations for for snacks so and the kids are really enjoying that so uh last month and I did mention to you that we had a pet here and uh basically they came in here to provide and give the high school a so the high school as you recall we were we had a designation of CSI School of needing uh Improvement we have exited that destination and uh so we have we have pet they came in here and they provided U you know the school with a recognition for our Improvement and you know there there's pictures they gave us and and we have it there in the gym because right now A lot of people are coming to the basketball game so we
073want people to see it and there's a poster there that says congratulations Hagerman high school for exiting School Improvement status in 2024 and you know kids were very excited not very many kids were here that day but uh the ones that were here you know they they got a chance to uh you know experience that and see the ceremony and and you know take pictures so okay um then the next item that I have and you I gave you a copy of your you know in your folder so actually these are some of the guidance so I'm sure you've probably heard about the massive uh deportations and families are living in fear right now I've had several families you know go into my office and and you know they they just don't know what to
074do and right now this is the guidance that we have it's a lot so basically right now the only thing I cannot send a letter and ensure the families that nothing is going to happen because I can't so the only thing that we could do right now until they tell us is because of farpa we cannot provide any information but then again if the president says you do this what do we do so so at your convenience you know your leisure time go ahead and read these and and basically it's just explaining what we can do you know how to promote a safe and secure campus for all it's it's a lot of information and uh so but right now if somebody comes in and they want a student records we we don't provide them
075just like that so so that is the only guidance that we currently have from um from pet which is really not much you know the only thing we have it's like well it's bless you thank you because of furo we cannot disclose any information any and that's all I have I scan for questions if you have any any questions related to this you know send me an email [Music] questions so um one more thing and and I like to apologize for we have the upcoming nmsba and um there is a miscommunication in regards to the hotel I mean we got us a good hotel okay we got us a good hotel it is 0.3 miles to the uh El Dorado I have requested for the one which is the Santa Fe Hilton which is right
076next door well I said Santa Fe Hil Hilton but you know the person that did the the um booking order the Santa Fe Hotel and it's not next to the uh El Dorado it's about 0.3 miles I mean it's a really nice hotel if you'd like I can go ahead and you know look into getting the other one there is I mean I did call today and it was $294 per night which you know it exceeds what our allotment so I mean if you guys are okay staying at the Santa Fe or yeah it's a really nice hotel it's a really nice hotel the only thing is that we're just going to have to walk a little bit I need a good walk you know last year conference room it's Santa Fe it could be
