003do the athletics. No questions on the athletics. >> No. Uh >> oh. Okay. Um Okay. >> Sorry. >> I mean, does anybody have any question on ours? We're just as busy. We're trying to do the beginning of the year assessments so we can get a baseline data where the children are at and where to start with our enrichment and our interventions. And then um we've had a lot of professional development training that's necessary and basically um we brought in some students because we're really proud of them because they learned our school cre right away. Awesome. >> All right. And then for the superintendence report, any questions on it? We did our first CT3 training. We have four more before in in uh for the real-time teacher coaches. We have four more toward the end of
004September, beginning of October. And then we had five students so far that have signed up to be interns with HMS. >> And when is that going to start? >> Uh well, they should have interviewed. They'll interview this week. It might have been this morning, but I don't know if they were able to get it scheduled for everyone. >> Did they? Okay. So, yeah. >> And is it advertised to them or how is it? >> Yeah, they let everybody know. Okay. All seniors. I mean, it's only open to seniors. >> Open to seniors. >> Yeah. And then, uh, our accreditation, we were accredited. Uh, every district in the state is accredited >> for this year as a pilot year. for next year and I included the letters in there for the accreditation status um you know
005what's going to be monitored next year for our accreditation but we should be fine for next year as well. So >> is that yearly? >> Yes, it will be yearly now. >> Oh okay. The one ding we did have was on reporting for attend like for school enrollment and that was simply because they made us use data from when they switched systems and everybody in the state got the same rating partially not in compliance because of that one not last school year but the school year before. So there was one reporting period from the school year before and that was during the transition period and every district in the state got that same rating. >> Okay. So, if this HMS um internship goes well, can we open it up for juniors starting junior? >> Uh
006they only want >> they only want seniors. >> Yeah, I believe so. I mean, but they may be open to it. >> It's a one-year internship and it's hopefully to lead into jobs. >> We also had a you know, they were going to do a class, but so far no one's shown interest in the class yet. >> And that was the certification. You got a certification for anime. >> But in a way, the internship can lead to that. I mean, they they because HMS will hire them and pay them to go to class and get certified. >> That's a good start. >> Yeah. Yeah, it is. >> Hopefully every year get a little more. >> Any other questions? No sir. >> So that's it for the report >> and public forum. >> No public forum.
007No. >> So item number six, board of education issues. >> Right. RBT school creed. >> Okay.

But M [Music] just two of us. >> I'll take a picture of him. He really retired. Congratulations. Thank you for coming back. >> Thank you. Thank you. And then now having Tal here with one of his students for one of their films and they presented the showcase a little bit about it just >> uh so for the film class um I teach the students on how to basically make a
010film from the beginning to the very end. Uh they write their own stuff, they plan their own things and then they film it all themselves and they also edit themselves and then it's pretty much just all their work, you know, coming from them. I just kind of guide them to that point. Um, and of course, uh, it's only like our second year officially as a class to have this going. And this year we we did go to the film festival in Albuquerque because that's a plan to take as many films as we can up there and to compete against all the whole state. And uh, we only took two films up there this year, but you know, more the marriers, more that's the goal. But um one of them did win and this one was
011just right there next to it. I was you know competing with it. But other than that it's pretty much all I can say for it. >> Okay. And who was the student? >> Oh is N Cruz. >> Yeah. So this is what she wrote and what she directed and then as a class they all work together. >> Did you start? No. >> Her sister did. Can you start there? >> I probably just have to turn it up or [Music] Mom, do I have to get go to bed right now? I don't want to. >> Yes, honey. But why don't you want to go to bed? >> Cuz I don't want him to get me. >> Who to get you? him. >> No one is here with us. >> Yes, there is. He tries to get
012me all the time. >> What does he look like? >> He's like a big buff bald man. >> And he lives in the closet. >> Yeah, he doesn't want to come out a lot. Mom, be careful when you go in there. You don't know when [Music] there's nobody in here. Really? >> Night sweet. [Music] Oh my god. What are you doing here? I decided to visit you after all this time. >> I have so much to tell you. She might not believe me. Sorry for the mess. What do you have to tell me? Okay. So, the other last night whenever I was sleeping, there was like a black shadow on the door frame and it was really scary. >> Really? Because when I lived here and I was in that room, I had the somewhat
013same experience. >> Really? What happened to you? >> Well, I was sleeping in my room, which is now your room, and it was the middle of the night, and I felt something sit on my bed. >> Are you sure it wasn't like my mom or your mom? Um, I don't know. I don't know. So, what did you do? >> Well, I called for my siblings and they came in the room and they looked at each other and walked out and shut the door on me and left me in the room. Well, why didn't they like ask you what happened if they knew you were scared? >> Well, in the morning when I woke up, I told them that I called for them last night and they didn't come. They asked why I called them if
014I was asleep and I said that I called them because it felt like a person sat on my bed when I was awake. Is that all that happened? >> No. The night after I saw something in the hallway walking towards me my parents' room and then when I woke up I looked in the hallway and I saw nothing. That must have been like really scary. >> Yeah. And then after that, the black figure looked at me right in the eyes, so I ran as fast as I could. >> Dang. Must have like actually been so scary for you. >> It was. And I was really young, too. >> How old were you? >> I was about six. >> Dang. So, that's what happened a few nights ago. I was really scared. Well, I could just
015punch whatever it is. But I'm not really into that funny stuff. >> Well, I'm not a scaredy cat like you are. >> I'm not a scaredy cat. Mom. Um, so last night I already told my aunt, but I saw like a shadow figure in my room. >> Oh, really? Yeah. Um, why? Because when your dad moved in, he had told me that in this house there was some weird things that were happening. Well, the previous owners had had a really big accident and they're still here until this day. Why do you think these things happen to the people that live in this house? >> I don't know. But your dad said that everything should be all right. So, my mom said nothing will happen to me. >> Well, just let me go and I'll fight
016it. >> No, if you're not. Fine. [Music] Good job. Very nice. [Music] >> So this one. >> Yeah. >> This is one of the Um we we finished the year with uh six or seven numbers but six or seven cuz some of them didn't finish quite in time to submit to Albuquerque but it that was in March. March is whenever we have to submit them so we had that time finish. >> That's good. Yeah. I think we had six or seven that we had completed. The goal was for every like because every student that I had wrote their own script and the idea was to have every single one of them make their film come to life. But that was uh 14 14 of them. So we got almost halfway with them. >> But that
017was just yeah time management and planning and like I said it's the second year so there's a lot of challen stuff >> and they're a lot of work. >> Yeah. Oh yeah definitely a lot of work. Yeah. >> Well, thank you guys and thank you Daniel for doing something >> new with the kids and bringing a new program to them. I think it's very nice. >> Yeah. Oh, yeah. And it's it's good to just uh let them know that like even though we're doing it here in Lawrenceburg is a small town and everything, but it's growing across the state with film making. >> So, it's a very good industry for if they ever want to make a career out of it, but also just how much value it could be towards a community too. Mhm.
018>> But that's that's the idea to spread. >> Thank you. >> Good. >> Yeah. >> Thank you. [Music] >> Thank you guys. >> Thank you. >> Okay. We will move on to item number seven, consent to the agenda. Any questions on any of the checks? >> Yeah. >> Closing out the year, getting ready for ramping up the new year. >> Yeah. Make a motion to approve accounts payable and payroll liability transactions. >> I'll second. >> Motion by Mrs. Essel, seconded by Mr. Carman. All in favor? >> I. Any opposed? No. Okay, the motion carries. We'll move on to approval of budget adjustment requests. Okay, we have five. Um, the first one is for the GOB library. It's an increased bar of a whole whopping 35 cents. >> Yeah, >> we should have saved the paper
019on that. >> Yeah. >> And the next one was the special capital outlay from the state construction services. It's a decrease bar of 83,524. um and it's based on carryover. The next one was a decrease bar also um from the universal free lunch for 5,447. The next one was an increase bar um and it was just carryover grant award to 16,041 um for title two. And then the last one is another decrease bar of 18, and and it was just adjustment for carryover. >> Yeah. Just adjusted for carryover from previous years. Yeah. >> So it was a decrease of 183. >> Any questions? >> No. Okay. And do we >> these need approval? >> Okay. And do we know do we know what we're getting funding wise or is that still kind of up in
020the air? >> So far they've released the funds to min you know all the title funds that we get. >> Okay. >> Except for I don't think they released like homeless >> the you know the Mckin Vento some of those type of grants but all the titles and sped have been released. >> So we you know we've got those Okay. Any other questions? >> Well, I will entertain a motion for approval. I don't know whether >> I'll make a motion to approve bar adjustments. >> I'll second motion by Mr. Plowman, seconded by Mrs. Esel. All in favor? >> I. Any opposed? Okay. The motion carries. So, we'll move on to item number eight, discussion items, cafeteria services. Okay. Yes. I was asked to put on the camera for some issues. >> Um, yes, you can
021start if you want me to. Go ahead. Go ahead. >> Yeah, please. >> So, I just came to my attention that there was hardly any food at DTMS. They keep on running out for one. Um, so I don't know. I I we've addressed this issue. You know, it's not Costa's fault because he's new to it, right? You're the new the new person now. >> Myra, >> you and Myra, >> and it's been an issue prior to that. Like, you know, there's not enough food for our kids. There's not enough food. So, it's just like >> Well, and I did check with Raquel and Kevin looked at the production records and they haven't run out of food. >> Okay. >> So, I don't know where that's coming from. >> Yeah. I don't know if >> there
022may not be enough. I mean, the kids may not think they're cheating in them, but >> and correct me if I'm wrong, but have y'all >> You're right. What I'm thinking is that uh we have two different choices, sometimes three. >> So, maybe some kids don't get that first or second choice that runs out >> and maybe that's what happened that situation, but I mean, it's very hard to wear that. >> I know kids are unpredictable. Sometimes our cravings are >> different, you know, all the time. >> Yeah. Um, also, you know, I don't know if you addressed this with the principles about the timing. >> Yes. And, uh, and so like I and again, Raquel's not here, but I didn't ask her. >> And she said that the kids are allowed to stay, you
023know, if they run out of time or they're at the end, they don't have to get up and leave when everybody leaves. They're welcome to sit and stay. They don't make anybody >> leave. Um, so we and I'll talk to Alex. had cuz he's the one that actually is doing duty >> and maybe he just needs to remind them that if you're not finished stay maybe when they say get up it's time to go they think they've got to get up and go possibly. >> Yeah, >> that's the only thing I can figure because >> Raquel said that they did not and and same at your place. >> We always allow anybody that's still eating to stay behind. We just separate and go because it's not >> chit. And I I've told these parents to
024address these issues with us or to to the principal screen of command, >> right? >> Because they're saying that they only have like three minutes like their kids only have less than five minutes to eat. And I'm like, well, I haven't gone cuz we really busy >> to go check it out. So, I just wanted to come address these issues before, you know, it's the beginning of the school year, so let's just fix them. Hopefully, it'll get better over time. But it just seems like every year that school starts and it's always a cafeteria somewhere around the year, you know, it gets brought up. >> There's no issues at the at the U high school because I'm pretty sure the kitchen's there and then they're ready to like >> whip up if they have less,
025you know, >> the popular item. But I don't know like what to do. >> How long do they get to eat each? They have 30 minutes. >> 30 minutes. >> But they have uh Reese's like 10 minutes. >> So, but anybody can stay behind to finish eating. >> They don't have to go >> the breakfast time just because the students leave. I mean, cuz some get there at 7:30, some get there at 7:45. >> Everybody's allowed to finish eating. >> So, it really would be best if we can get them to talk to the principles >> just because they know what's going on on their campus. Yeah. No, and I I like expressed that when I talked to you. I told you know what I've told each parent. Go check the commanders. >> Like I
026do appreciate you guys coming to us and give us, you know, a trust to tell us. I said also come to the schoolboard uh meetings, put a public comment in because we love to hear from parents too, you know, because >> technically I'm the last one to kind of know what's going on, >> what's going on. But um yeah, I just, you know, I'm glad you're here. I appreciate that you're here. You know, hopefully this year will be good for you. >> Yes. But yeah, I just want to address like those little itty bishes like you know the popular choice is probably like running out and the kids are >> How do you determine how much of each to fix? >> That's what we're working on right now cuz I mean >> like most likely
027I'm at the high school but >> the other girls would tell me like well it depends on the day. I mean it something they like and then >> next week they like it and it's like they don't get it. >> So it's kind of >> Yeah. It's all based on previous >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Selections. >> Yeah. >> Is the salad park gonna going to be going again or or the fruit bar or the vegetable? >> The salar should be on there. >> Okay. I haven't been. So maybe I'll pick. >> Is it at DTMS too? They have a salary keys. And one thing on the time getting through line, you know, like so I know asked about that too and they said the only time really that it's slow is like if there are
028tacos or something that they have to assemble >> as it goes along, but other than that they're very quick. >> All right. >> I don't know how to express the parents. They have time. Just let them sit. >> Yeah. So we do two groups because one whole group is just too much. >> So the first group goes and eats while the they go outside to recess and then we switch. >> Oh, okay. >> Okay. >> Yeah. All righty. I hope those little issues were being addressed. I know it's the beginning of the school year, so we're all testing the waters and >> trying to see what works and not works. So I appreciate you guys coming. I appreciate you coming. showing your face and stuff. Thank you. >> And hopefully it goes well for you.
029>> Anything else on that? >> No. >> Johnny, do you have anything? >> Okay. Thank you. >> We'll move on to item number nine, discussion and possible approval of revised salary schedule. >> Right. you know, we have the different labels. And so, in the past, what we've done is like say there's a teacher that has 10 years experience and she's been here a while. And so, for example, like on the masters on level, was it level three? masters after like their second year as a level three was like a $4,000 a year pay raise when really it shouldn't have been that much. So, what we've done is anybody that is not on the schedule at that point, we've done the standard, what was it, about $100, $50 pay raise per step until we get, and
030you'll notice if you go down, if there's somebody on the step, it's at a higher level, then that step is at a higher level than what it should be compared to the rest. But as that person moves on and steps, we'll go back and readjust the lower step, which is what we probably should have been doing all along. Um, and that way because it's, you know, somebody new to the district, you know, if they would have come in on the old salary schedule and they were a two-year level three, they would have gotten $4,000 more. >> You know, it so it just bumped up. Wasn't this the schedule fees? Wasn't it? >> It was approved with the budget. >> Yeah. So, that's why we're bringing it back. So, we wanted to make those revisions. >>
031Okay. >> We added the bachelor's. >> Yeah. And we had to add the bachelors cuz our they they opened up level three to CTE teachers um that meet the requirements with a bachelor's degree. Normally, level three requires masters. So, we had to add that bachelor's. If you notice over on level three, we now have a bachelor's of BA. So, and that goes up. Yeah. So, it's $50 a year with a bachelor's and it's $100 a year with the with masters. And then we topped the chart at 35 years. And anybody that's outside of the salary schedule, they get the state 4% or whatever the state says the raise they get, you know, will be. any questions on that? I hope I made that clear. >> I don't have any questions. >> So, we'll probably be
032bringing this back to you every year revised, but we'll try to have it done with the budget. >> With the budget. >> Yeah. And it didn't even dawn on us till we were looking. And then also next year we might revise the whole level one because theoretically the max somebody should be a level one teacher is five years. So we really don't need to go to 35 years as a level one because they would have been phased out with the state. They would have been allowed to teach. >> So okay well I will entertain a motion for approval if anyone has any questions. I'll make the motion to approve the reback seller schedule. >> Motion by Mrs. Eswell, seconded by Mr. Plowman. All in favor? >> I. That motion carries. B. Discussion of possible approval
033of bus driver mileage pay increase. >> Right. And that's going up what? 5 cents a mile. >> 35 cents to 40 cents a mile. >> Right. and they they haven't been just to get more competitive and they haven't had a raise on my edge in quite a while >> and this is just us deciding to do that. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> It's not a requirement. It's not >> okay. >> But it is be more competitive I think. What other >> most most districts are paying between 22 and 25 an hour. So with the wait time and their drive time all combined together they'll be about $24 an hour. >> Okay. So the starters are going to be making the ones that direct >> the one that >> is it the activity >> the activity
034ones or >> right right yeah the activity >> what was the increase >> 5 cents a mile >> their hourly rate for the weight time stays the same retired being schoolboard [Laughter] all the trips. >> We need a motion. >> They don't let you drive. They do not want me to drive a bus. No, I can never drive my car. >> But yes, we need a motion. John, >> I'll make a motion to approve a driver mileage pay increase. >> And I'll second that motion. Motion by Mr. Plowin, seconded by Mrs. Esqa. All in favor? I >> I didn't kill you though. >> The motion carries almost. We like to see discussion and possible approval of two elective courses. >> Right. So, they created in when we approved all the electives last month for the
035general um our high school counselor asked if we could approve these two specifically to require because there's some reports she does have to fill out with the state that I ask if the board has approved. So, they've already they've already required a college and career readiness course um for the seniors, but they want to add it for the freshmen as well. So like a beginning college and career readiness and then an advanced. So they would like these two courses to be the ones that we require as part of our graduation plan which kind of got to go along with the states focus on >> career >> and there's an overview of what they are. Okay with that. >> So these are these are new. >> No. Well, the beginning one is kind of an offshoot
036of the advanced. I mean it is because they used to do just one. Now she wants to do two. One for freshman and then one for seniors. And the seniors requires a portfolio. Requires a portfolio. You know the freshman are going to require >> I don't think the freshman require a portfolio but >> I thought it carries through. >> Right. So they'll start the process and it'll go through their senior year with a portfolio at the end. >> Okay. >> I think we should start in junior year. >> Yeah. >> Going. >> Yeah. Well, there I think they'll work on those too. >> Okay. Well, I will entertain a motion. >> I'll approve the the two elective courses. I'll second. >> Motion by Mrs. Esville, seconded by Mr. Plowman. All in favor? >> I. >>
037That motion carries. >> We'll move on to D, discussion and possible approval of policy advisories. >> So, we have three new policies. They all deal with technology and AI. Um the first one number 270 uh it's just revised to add some specific AI provisions um and related to copyright. So it's basically a copyright policy. >> Um and then number 271 is the use of technology resources and instruction and it's revised solely to add the new policy use of artificial intelligence to the list of cross reference policies. Um, and then all the others along with it, the JND DBR and JM DBE are just forms to fill out to go along with the policy. And then the last policy is a new policy. It's completely new and it's the use of artificial intelligence. And it basically
038says what Lily can do and then what is prohibited. um we as a district will have to determine what is acceptable >> AI like Chad GPT we have to specify if we're going to allow them what what we're going to allow them to use as far as AI is concerned >> which will probably be Chad GPT >> and then Microsoft co-pilot or any others >> Geminis's Google These are all new to me. >> Yeah, >> pretty showing my age. I know. >> Yeah, >> I do use chat GPT a lot. I do. I find this very helpful for looking things. >> Yeah, it's really I mean >> Yeah. Plism. >> Yeah. You got to be very careful. Yeah. Yeah. And that's why the copyright goes up. That first one addresses basically the copyright laws of
039what you're allowed to even like goes over what teachers they can only copy one chapter out of a book. >> They're not allowed to copy consumables, stuff like that. >> Okay. And we can either entertain a motion or if you'd like time to read it more thoroughly, we can always table it and bring it back next month. It's entirely up to you. >> I'm open to approving them. We've been using them, right? >> Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we Yeah. Yeah. It's our polic The only thing that was new was the AI policy. >> Okay. >> Yeah. You can entertain a motion to approve all >> I'll make a motion to approve policy number 270 advisories. >> What about the other two >> and the 271 and 272 >> together? >> Yeah, we can do it
040all together. 2707 7172. >> Okay. Yeah, I'll make motion to approve all policy advisories. >> We'll second that motion. Motion by Mr. Plman, second by Mrs. Esqo. All in favor? I. None opposed. So the motion carries and we are adjourned. >> Okay. >> Thank you. Thanks, John. Since I don't
