001Not even. Guys, welcome back. It was fast. I'm sure it was extremely fast for you. But we'll call the meeting to order at 602 and we will uh stand for the pledges. I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands one nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all the flag of the state of New Mexico. I will entertain a motion for the approval of the agenda as written. I will make a motion to approve the agenda as written. >> Motion by Mrs. Cole. Do I have a second? >> Second by Mr. Plowman. All in favor? >> Any opposed? Okay, that motion carries. We'll move on to item number three, approval of the minutes for the regular meeting of June 16th, 2025. >> I'll

Um, I'm glad I'm moving on the playground and we're still working on the quotes for the scene. >> Is it finished? No, you're okay. >> Is the playground finished? >> Yeah. I'll have to go see. >> Yeah. And then I'm glad to hear that we're getting stuff to get the parking lots sealed. Thank you for all your work and making sure these things are done. >> Yes.
003>> And then on the superintendence report, basically just wanted to go over, you know, federal funding. They frozen several types of monies they're sending out. For us specifically, it's title one part C, title two part A, title three part A, title four part A, and title four part B. Um, we don't get the title three. Um, we don't have enough for bilingual education. Um, so even though PE has approved all of our funds, we don't have access to those funds until the feds release their funds. So hopefully it will not put it down. And you know, our total amount that's affected is not a huge huge amount. It's 60 $70,000 maybe, but some districts it's just >> Yeah. >> Gosh, that's awesome. >> And then uh the CT training we had on Thursday went well.
004Um real time coaching we still have scheduled, but it'll be mid August for the first training and then several trainings in September or the end of August depending on when they get here. And then just an update on the pet appeal for the instructional hours versus days. The lawsuit, you know, it's still ongoing, so we're still waiting. They project it may take uh a couple of years to get that done, but it is still ongoing. We may have we may be asked to contribute, >> you know, because we will have attorney fees and stuff. So, just know that may be upcoming. >> So, any questions on that? Um, is there anything that we can do to prepare for this >> for the funding freeze? >> Oh, for not I mean it'll just have to come
005out operate. Whatever we planned on doing that will have to come out operational >> and how bad will that impact the current budget that we have? >> I mean it we're we're fine this year and next year it's just after that. So I mean we need to practice our vote. It's not >> a way to reserve. >> Yeah. Yeah. We just Yeah. >> Be conservative. >> Yes. And as as as people leave, we need to look at not replacing >> over. >> Yeah. Any other questions? >> No. >> Okay. Any questions for Raquel? She's um is out this today. for thems I was wondering who's on the committee. >> I don't know. She had several people on the committee, but I don't I don't know who all was on there. You can I can let
006you know. I don't know how many showed up. There were several on the committee, but we had a meeting. Whether they all showed up or not, I don't know. Does anybody have any questions? >> I didn't going twice. >> You're going to sing us the song. Explain. >> I just look forward to seeing what you have in store for us this year. you know, you've made huge strides since you've been on and and see improvements and I just look forward to >> Thank you.

It's in the Well, I do have it, but I mean, do you want this? when it's exit time like [Laughter] >> um well we have school creed which I think you know if we uh do self positive talk then we we bring that into our lives but our little maverick RBT chant is what do we show is a question and then all respect every day the leader will say what do we Our values lead the way. The leader will say how do we grow and then everybody will say all together as a team. When leaders say say it proud what do you mean? Then all together we stand proud. We strike high with RBT. We reach the sky. >> You can't top that. members of the board doesn't end. Um yeah, we're just
008um went to the CT3 training because the staff the whole district went last week. So we'll we'll take some of their um ideas and strategies and implement in the classroom see how that works out for us. Um then just when the school starts, the teachers will do their fall assessment, you know, as soon as we get going. So we apply that to our 90day plan. Um and we're going to continue ting after school. Um reach out to parents. I mean, we're going to improve in these all these areas that we have to do every year. Just improve, reach out to parents, trying to get parents more involved, reach out to students, try to get students more involved. Um, we don't have the magic answer for any of that, but just just, you know, you know,
009just keep trying, just keep talking, just keep preaching, however you want to say, try to get those things going. Um, teachers are, I mean, we're all excited to new year, you know, implementing things and just, you know, trying to make improvements and trying to make things better for the whole school itself. Once we get small at the next board meeting, any questions? >> No. I just want to commend you because you're always out there supporting any endeavors that the community is looking for to hold functions and you're always willing to supply the area for them to use. And not only that, but you are always there to help out with whatever they need and there from the beginning to the end. and it takes a lot and it's very very appreciated. I want you to

But so Kobe still will be coming to our place, but we're not going there because they scheduled an extra game and if you recall, they did that last year and that put them out the district championship. They're making sure they don't get in trouble more. So, they took care of that. And then we had to change the um because the refs, we had to change the clock craft um game from Thursday to Sat Friday to
011Saturday. So, we'll be playing Crow here Saturday at a 7:00 game. We just changed the um homecoming game 7 October 3rd. Now, the homecoming October 3rd. Yes, that's the going into our Yes. going into our fall break. Um but it is going into our fall break October 3rd that Friday night homecoming. I think we'll be okay with that. Um there's no other way that you know weekend before that football team's off. We came before that volleyball team at a tournament. Week before that volleyball team the tournament week before that volleyball tournament. >> So it is October 30 to make that work. Um other than that those schedules are in place which is already doing things you know volleyball football there and a good summer for the other program basketball and things of that nature of
012course have nothing to do with us but well facilities And it brings a lot to our >> to the 141 teams. >> That's amazing. >> But other than that, um we just roll and we did have that physical last year. So we didn't have as many people as one, but we did get physical. So it did get us started off in a on a better physical, but students still need to get there. Some students [Music] It's good year. Positive year and see where we go. >> Thank you. >> Amy, can I add something? reports. It was not a report, but the that family engagement and resource >> they had 22 >> 225 bingo cards were turned in that that who knows how many took theirs with them. >> Uhhuh. >> But that was what they
013counted was 225. And I thought that was >> an excellent >> thing that, you know, SPN and the health council did and >> it brought a lot of people in and it saved families a lot of money with all these agencies and people that took the time to donate all the school supplies and backpacks and >> it was a very well attended event and I just want to give a big thank you to Joanie and Margaret for doing that and all the agencies that that showed up to do presentations and do you know outreach. >> It was it was very very very good event. >> Yeah, >> it's amazing. They put a lot of work into that. >> Yes, they really did. >> I think any questions on any of the other reports? That's it.
014>> No. Um did we have anything for public forum? No. So item number six, board of education issues. >> So we have retirement class. Um it's just flag it says presented to award municipal schools in appreciation of your seven years of commitment and dedication to the education of our children and presented by municipal schools and with sophomore names. And so Mr. Come up. Y'all want to come up? [Laughter] >> Yes, Lord. two. >> Congratulations. >> Thank you. >> Appreciate. Thank you. >> There were two others, but we'll do them next month. So >> that's it on the board of education. >> Um item number seven consent agenda look at the approval of accounts payable and payroll liability transactions. Any questions on any of the checks? >> Had a few cuz we're closing the end of
015the year. And I know we've said this before, but I love these new graphs that you guys are doing. >> Yes. [Music] So we just need a motion to approve the >> I will make a motion to approve accounts payable payable liability transactions as presented. >> Motion by Mrs. Cole. Do I have a second? >> I second. >> Seconded by Mr. Dela O. All in favor? I >> I >> Any opposed? The motion carries. Um we'll move on to approval of budget adjustment requests, >> right? And technically we don't need to approve them. This is all of the bars that we did under that blanket agreement. So there were 23 of them. Um some were increases. Um, and then the others were maintenance bars or transfer bars. So, I can go through each one of
016them if you want or um >> Yeah, they're already approved. So, and >> they've already been discussed in previous meetings. So, >> um, probably not. These were >> we just did the blanket. >> Yeah, we did the blanket. So, I can go through each one if you like. >> Okay. Yeah. So the first one is a title one and it was a increased bar of 46,000. The next one was SB9 state batch. It was increase uh of 54494. The next one was uh Mr. Local Revenue Operational is increase of 14,412. Another local operational increase bar of 5,180. Uh the next one is a is an increased bar. That was SB9 money's increase 57 631. Next one is geo debt services adjusted amount 193,521. Next one is increased bar instructional support of 2,740. The next one
017is a non-instructional support increase bar of $63,662. And all of these that are increasing just to match it to the end of your state >> money. So on 68 I it's an increased bar $4,398. The next one is an increased bar from non-instructional support for $11,333. The next one is just a transfer bar is just a flow through moving monies out of different categories. So it's a zero net change to budget. It just changes the funds. Same with the next one. And there are several on there. I mean there's one, two, yeah, three pages worth. So it's predominantly instruction actually a mix of everything but it is just transfer. It's just screwing up the numbers to where they were actually sp. The next one is another increase bar and it is from Medicaid and that
018was $92,590. The next one is another flow through bar transfer bar. So it was family income index and basically just again transfers. The next one is also family income index transfer bars. And then a maintenance bar for family income index. And what was this one? It had a reduction 30,000. So what is the difference between a maintenance bar and a transfer bar? A transfer bar is when you are transferring from one function to the other. Where maintenance bar is you're just chewing up the numbers within the functions. You're just chewing them up. >> Okay. The next one's a transfer bar with local revenue operational. The next one is a maintenance with SB9 monies. The next one is a maintenance with prek initiative as is the next one. And then the next one's a maintenance bar
019with title one. The next one is the maintenance bar with title one. And the last one is several pages long. The maintenance bar with operation. Any any questions on this? >> Okay. Um, >> yeah. So, that's it. And we don't need a motion or anything on >> Thank you for going over them. I just wanted it for transparency. >> Yeah. Yeah. No, no, no. That's fine. [Music] So we will move on to item number eight discussion items. >> Right. So, we we have uh three new hires for the district and that's uh Maria Reyes for RT and DTMS for PE, Jordan Thornneck Thorn, instructional assistant at DTMS, and Christine Gutierrez, instructional assistant at DTS. >> Does that cover every positions that we have open? >> Well, we have a SLP. So, we we contracted, you
020know, went out for the RFP and so we're doing a virtual SLP, but the position is still open and and hopefully we'll find somebody to be able to come out in person, but until we do, it'll be contract. >> Okay. I hope so because that something that really needs to be in person. >> Yes. >> And you guys went out again, right? >> Well, we kept it out. We didn't go out for RFP again. Um, but we've left the position open as an industry hireer >> and then we're we're in contact with a couple of these services that provide contract services, but they all want >> virtual. They don't they don't have anybody in person. So, >> and that makes it so hard because it's better for them to have that in person. That way
021they definitely have hands on and see what the needs are. Thank you Dr. Lucas. >> So we will move on to item number nine action items. A discussion and possible action on 202526 negotiated to agreement. >> Mhm. >> And we do this every year. Um, and there were not a lot of changes this year. Um, and changes are highlighted in there, but the changes were our buyback of sick leave was probably 20 or 30 years old. They, you know, we pay people back $20 a day for their sick leave, >> which that doesn't encourage people to I mean that they'll use their sick leave. Um so in the tal agreement we doing a 40% uh of a non degreed substitute for classified employees and then a 50% of a degreed sub for degree uh professional
022employees. Does that make sense? Are there any questions on that? Basically it's just changing out of the arrangement now. So like if if a teacher sub that's degreed is $100 then they would get a teacher would get $50 or an administrator would get $50 whatever that degree said would be and then the classified like an IIA would get 40%. Which keeps it closer to their salary and but it's still not anywhere near what their rate is. So >> so but it is a little bit of increase for that. And then also um we made a few changes to the catastrophic leave bank. We currently the match number that they can accumulate or or use or borrow from or use is 30. We've up it in here to 45. So if somebody's got cancer or something
023very serious, they can get an extra 15 days that they didn't have before. Um, and then we changed from right now the district limit on the bank is 200 and we vote that to where they have 250 days in in the bank. And then we changed the prep purchase. You know, sometimes at the high school or middle school or, you know, we need to buy a teacher's prep period so they'll teach another period and don't get a prep period. >> We've changed that to where it's 17th of their salary. for the extra uh >> I don't remember. Do you remember what it was? It was a discrepancy on that. >> There was a discrepancy way. That's >> Yeah. And that's why we we we codified it because before it was uh >> ages ago I
024was 16. >> Yeah. >> And then later on recent it's been nebulous. >> Yeah. It's been Yeah. And so we put it in we just put it in writing. So it >> didn't like increase it. It just kind of just made it a number we needed. >> Right. It's kind of a compromise between the high and the low one6. So it's a little bit less but it's more than what I think I gave them last year. >> Um and then we did away with the extra days. So, new personnel, new teachers coming in, come in the day before everybody else to get their paperwork and stuff done. We just figured since everything's so much online now stuff, they can just do that anytime. So, we didn't we're not including an extra day in their contract.
025It was an unpaid extra day. >> They just need to make sure as a new hire, they get all their paperwork done and stuff. >> So, we removed that and those were the only changes to what was approved last year. Do you guys have any questions for that? >> Mhm. I'll make a motion to accept the 2025 2026 negotiated t agreement as presented. >> Motion by Mrs. Cole. Do I have a second? >> I'll second. >> Seconded by Mr. Plowing. Motion carries. All in favor? >> I I Any opposed? >> Okay, we'll move on to B. Discussion and possible action on 2024 2025 end of year inventory. >> Right. This is something we do every year. This just basically approving our inventory. Um if you have any questions on it, be glad to answer. But
026it's that the landscape printed document that >> that's very long. >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> And and and we're we're kind of getting away from, you know, we used to just do everything, but legally we only have to do the 5,000 and above. >> Yeah. So, and we're doing laptops and computer even though they're not 5,000 above, but so some things we're cutting back on and other but we are we are meeting the requirements and even Yeah, because you'll see a lot of things still in there like $1,000 $1,200. >> Yeah, we just want to make sure don't disappear. Yeah, >> they do. That's why we >> have >> any questions or anything on that? >> No. >> We need a motion for approval of this or >> No. >> Yes. >> I'll make a
027motion to accept the 2024 2025 end of year inventory as presented. Motion by Mrs. Cole. Do we have a second? >> I'll second. >> Seconded by Mr. Dela O. The motion carries. All in favor? >> I. Any opposed? Okay. We'll move on to C discussion and possible action on board policy G 2550 sick leave. >> Right. And basically that is just allowing me to go to our attorneys to change our policy to match what we approved in the cow. No change because this is the policy that says they get 20 days or $20 to buy back for their sick leave. So I just need to be I need your approval so I can change the policy and then once we get it drafted I'll bring it back to you to approve the district. >> Okay.
028But right now, our policy still says 20 days. Or $20 for So I just basically need a motion to approve for me to amend the policy or to have the policy amended by our motion. >> Go ahead. >> I'll make a motion to amend the G uh 20 550 sick leave policy. >> Motion by Mr. Plowman. Do I have a second? Seconded by Mrs. Cole. The motion carries. All in favor? >> I. Any opposed? >> Okay. We'll move on to discussion and possible action on fiscal year 26 LGRF resolution parking lot improvements at the DTMS. >> So any question on this? We we've been approved from the state. Um they'll provide us $46,000 and we have to pay $15,000 for the parking lot. It's a DTS. >> So, but it does need to be board
029approved. >> So, what improvements are they making besides the the paving? What else are they doing besides the This is just a paving the the the parking lot in DS. >> They're going to fill the cracks and >> That's it. >> Just chip seal it. >> Yeah. >> Oh, okay. I just didn't know if they were going to redo something with the >> No, it's anything else. >> It's just a ceiling. >> Fixing guest ceiling and making it more presentable. >> Fixing putting in paint lines. >> Yeah. Entertain a motion to make it. >> I'll make a motion to approve the LG resolution parking lot approvements. >> Motion by Mr. Cowen. Do I have a second? >> I second the motion. >> Seconded by Mr. Dela O. The motion carries. All in favor? >> I
030I. Any opposed? Okay, we'll move on to discussion and possible action on policy advisories number 246 through 262. >> So, do you want me to go through each one and then vote on each one at a time or do you want me to go through all of them and then do it like all you know you can do a motion for all policies. 246 262 was presented. I think go through all of them and then >> and then do one vote >> okay >> because we can like if we wanted to exclude we could at that point >> right and if you have any questions >> so 246 is retirey return to work um and that's basically just uh we have to put into policy um that that we're going to have return to work
031the 90 days you know it's just a policy that wasn't there before um it requires each district um to create an internal work policy. So that's what the 246 is. 247 is drug alcohol and nicotine in schools. Sorry, there's so many pages. It takes a little while. So, policy 247 previously just referenced various policy provisions inflictable to drug, alcohol, and tobacco nicotine. It now becomes a primary policy on the subject. So um 247 is be going to become the drug tobacco nicity policy for drugfree schools. Um 248 is a transportation regulated it's amending our transportation to add the full range prohibited drug alcohol and nine products on the list of prohibited items on school bus. um is staff conduct with students. It's add the word nicotine uh on the list of improved of of it's
032the same policy. It's just adding the word nicotine twice on prohibited items with the policy. >> Um and then tobacco use in policy advisory 250. It's basically tobacco use by staff members and smoking is deleted in entirety >> because it's prohibited. >> Yeah, it's prohibited, right? Yeah. So, other policies. So, this is just >> because they moved it into the other, >> right? >> Yeah. And 251 discipline, suspension, termination, and discharge of professional staff members. It was changed to add a cross reference to another policy. So they it's the same policy they just added across reference. Um policy 252 discipline suspension termination discharge of professional staff members again added another cross reference. I don't know why they didn't just make that one. >> And then uh 253 is school volunteers added nicotine to list of
033things not to possess or use. 254 student conduct added nicotine to the list prohibited substances. uh tobacco use by students smoking deleted in its entirety because of added to the prohibited substances. Um 256 student discipline added tobacco and nicotine to the list of prohibited items. um administering medicine to students. It added a cross reference and then deleted a different cross reference about tobacco use. And then uh 258 community use of school facilities uh added to the list of prohibited items. Um 259 conduct on school property added 18 to prohibited items. 260 tobacco use smoking on school property deleted. Uh again because it was included in the ones above. And then 261 school schedule and course loads. So it's that all it does is amend the policy to include the requirement that income next step plans
034for students align with district's graduation or graduate profile. And then 262 graduation requirements. Um it only addresses for those students entering this school year. And it is basically talking about electives that we have to Scott you or do you want to talk about the electives you know for the new graduation departments where it took out we have uh what seven electives now how many electives do we have now for high school >> how many electives do we offer 10 and the state requires did require five correct seven and then >> right and then then they want the board to designate two and that's what this policy is is saying that the board needs to designate two but we already have the 10 electives so really there's really no need to designate because they have their
035choice of electives unless you want to say every graduate has to take welding every graduate has to take otherwise you can just leave it their choice of 10 >> so that's what that >> what are the 10 electives I'm just curious >> so well we have 10 elective credits and we have our own One, two, three, and four. >> Automotive. Um, and they're different categories. We've opened up the auto shop. >> I mean, the auto shop, the um where you clean cars. Can't think of the word. >> Detailing. >> Detail. >> Yes, there you go. You know the detailing. I think there's two classes there. We have our um our um our class, our classes one, two, three, and four. We have the computer literacy class. We have the our our E2020 elective classes if
036we don't offer something that we need to offer. Um we also have our college career readiness class for seniors, but it's also a requirement now for our freshman that we have to take. Um and then um we were able to bring back um drama class this year for the half semester. So which is good just to kind of talk about that cuz we I'm kind of proud of this or we're proud of it that we have two students um forget their names and Isaiah they're actually doing their drama in New Mexico State University too. So I gota thank you know Mrs. Cerson class had something to do with that to carry on there and um I kind of want to say I mean you know we don't you know have >> a lot because no
037but but that's >> do those dual credit classes through Western so does that count as the electives? >> Yes. Yeah. I still think that we really should look into expanding and finding more that these kids can do that will impact their futures as far as electives that are more. >> Yeah. Don't we have to have somebody and that's where we run into >> Yeah. >> issues. Although we can, you know, the E2020 there's stuff but again that's virtual. It's not >> interactive with the teacher. So that's kind of hard. But yeah, I mean the electives unfortunately anytime dwindling population the electives are the hardest ones to >> Yeah. since they are not required to >> Yes. >> Any questions on any of those policies? I didn't have any. >> I will make a motion to
038accept the policy advisories numbers 246 through 262 as presented to us. Motion by Mrs. Cole. Do I have a second? >> I'll second. >> Seconded by Mr. Dela O. The motion carries. All in favor? >> I. Any opposed? None. Well, that takes care of all of our business. So, we will adjourn at 6:46. fashion to be a
