001Here are the following new orders. And any public comment? I need to approve minutes from the March 31st, 2026 school board meeting. I'll make a motion.

I have a motion on to approve three bills. Bills on the monthly Now, there is no accounts payable vouchers, so I need a motion to approve bills that fall on a regular schedule basis for the month of April. and payroll. Make motion. I'll second. All in favor? There is five and you have the monthly fund report. Any questions on fund reports? No. Okay, um next item is the quotations from Shepherd Insurance property damage liability and
002workman's comp effective May 18th, 2026. Um it's a slight increase uh from what we had. Not Not too much. Was the increase in the coverage or the workman's comp? Uh same coverage, right? >> The coverage. Yeah. >> I had a motion on the Neola insurance. Can second. I'll second it. All in favor? I. All right. Do you guys Yeah. The uh that's just review uh for right now. It's the new wireless communication device uh from the state that we're we will have to do. Policy will be set by Neola. So, when we get that, we will have to to approve that or whatever or any changes or anything, but that's why we have that contract with Neola is is to keep us up-to-date on all of this. Uh I think the main difference is they're
003targeting smartwatches now. And phones cannot They cannot have phones at all from start of the day to end of the day. So, what what advice would be how would how would we handle that? Do they have to bring them to the office or each teacher will collect them or They're not supposed to have them. Uh they can drop them off in the office, but they're not supposed to bring them in the classrooms. They're not supposed to take them in. They're not supposed to They're going to bring them in. Oh, they're going to bring them. Yeah. Uh they have to keep them in the lockers. Okay. Or their vehicles or leave them at home. Or we can take them. I personally don't like when teachers hold on to them because somebody could get a hold of
004one that's not theirs. There would be a liability issue that we're going to have to fight with that. So, I think our I think our policy is lockers. Just don't bring them. Um we just leave it that, but we'll see what NEOLA comes up with. I talked to Tell City and they're basically doing the same thing, waiting on NEOLA as well. Okay. Uh Now, they're going to put We're going to put some heat into it when we do catch them with them. We're going to have to look at the suspensions and go from there. Do we have to redo anything in the boxes or give them boxes? Uh we will have to put our NEOLA policy It has to go on our website and then in our handbooks. >> Yes. I'm expecting that basically anytime,
005to be honest with you. So But I'm really shocked that I haven't seen anything from NEOLA yet, but it's coming. So we really don't have anything to go on here with this right on the policies. As they As they come to us. All right, personnel considerations, uh summer school.

Aye. Carries 5-0. Uh recommend the board approve employing Christina Shepherd as school bus driver during the 2026 summer school at a rate of $100 per day, contingent upon adequate student enrollment. Uh right now, depending on how things go, we're only looking at like three or four. I think they'd have
006to take it. So, maybe they We not need transportation, but it's going to be dependent on that. I'll make a motion. Second, and a second. I'll second. All in favor? Aye. Aye. All right, recommend that the board approve the contract between Brian Linebaugh School Corporation for May 22, 2026 through July 31, 2026 to prepare state and federal grant applications at a rate 297.25 per day, not to exceed 30 days.

We have this issue every year. And I was always somebody complaining about something. I don't know why. But uh I received pictures of our grass and it's complaints. And uh I really think we put some grass in the start of the year and get some job descriptions put together. And uh I don't know if we need to go to executive session to discuss personnel on that. We can do that. Okay. What are your all's thoughts on it? I agree. We need new mulch for the grade school. I definitely need some. >> That. For the gym, it'd be nice to be able
008to talk to these talk about We just got a lot of weeds down there and that's all right there. Yeah, I got to get the weed whacker and weed it out. I I didn't That's That was on my agenda, but I like I said, the weather the weather got me and I just didn't have time. Mr. Now, do you still use the weed eater you're talking about? I mean Mr. Now, if you don't use it, I'll I'll kill it out. Yeah, I'll get it. I'll get it out. I'll kill it out. Yeah. Just let me know. All right. I can spray that out, yeah. But then we're I'm going to I know I'm going to have to add dirt to it down there and then so What are your all's feelings on having an executive
009session to discuss the personnel and then the job descriptions on this grass schedule? Yeah, definitely. I'll make a motion we have an executive session to discuss the dates. I'll do that. I have to do it before the next meeting. Yes. Yeah, you don't want to wait too long so Everyone wants to check their schedules see when they're free or what they're doing. When's the next meeting? Mondays and Fridays are bad for me. What about your schedule for Monday? I can move things on the softball side. That's not a big deal. Draw for our next meeting.

011organic and I tried to pull it last week. I can't get in the mulch. Black barriers surrounded by the bobcat. Yes. Yes, yes. It's tight space and I'm going to get a bobcat or something in there. Yeah, that's what Wes Keiser did that first last time. He brought his the bobcat in. Back to this old wagon. Do you think I don't think we might not need to add any if you get that tilled up and and leveled if you're going to put a barrier down and then mulch you don't want it up level so it don't don't let it take you don't want that mulch coming out on the mulch. Right. Mulch coming out on the >> Yeah, there's there's some there's some deep deep holes in there. From when we pulled all those shrubs
