Motion carried seven time correspondence. >> So ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being here today at Bay for our board meeting. Uh if you're new to board games, the boards uh we'll visit every building uh throughout the school year and have meetings at different buildings. And before we move on with our agenda, I'd like to just take this moment to recognize this group that's in front of you today, the board of education. Uh and recognize that their impact in this district extends proudly on these meetings. Uh you may or may not know in October it's school board appreciation month across your state and this is a time that uh the state school boards association sets a little time
006aside in October to thank uh our board of education members. We also need to know that board of education members do not get paid. This is a volunteer uh service that they provide in each school district across the state and each of people sitting in front of you today uh spend countless hours uh reviewing uh the board of education materials, our policies, our budget, student data and community concerns. These individuals are here to help all our students. Uh many of them do not do this for accolades or special recognition. Uh but they do it because of our students which is admiraable for sure. Their decisions shape the direction of our district from everything from safety to uh the success of special programs that uh are really mandated by the community throughout Iowa. And while the
007community only sometimes sees the results of these meetings, they rarely see all of the time thought and reflection that goes into being with their trustee. So tonight, we do want to change some of that perception. Uh we want to recognize this group as a leadership team uh and uh thank them for what they do for our students, teachers, staff, and faculty uh throughout our district and how it resonates throughout the community. Uh today you'll see lots of tokens of appreciation. Again, written cards. Uh I think there's a book which is beautiful on the table uh for our board. the boards from the high school uh that we thank you to the high school. We want to thank uh not only our high school and middle school and youth everybody has contributed to uh these thoughtful
008and heartfelt messages and I am proud to serve alongside this board of education. Uh we really do have a partnership. There's a lot of trust and a lot of work that goes into creating a vision to moving forward in a positive way for our students. So the piece of panel is to join me in some recognition for the work of class. [Applause] I just really appreciate the the recognition. um we all do um serve from a special place and a passion for education and the success um of our students and um for the future. Um I know for myself it's I serve from the heart and the passion and for the love of Grand Island. I don't know. I I I I don't know if anybody wants to chair on the board on the table.
009Not um anybody has any they want to share for why they serve something. >> So, thank you um technology department too for the cutting boards. They are beautiful. I will definitely use it. I love it. Um and thank you Jeep for the cookies. Right. All the cut. I love the thought of cookies. They're so good. Shout out. I have to give a shout out to whoever made them. They are so good. Faking me crazy, but they are good years. So, thank you for those and thank you for all the notes and the cards. Um, this is my ninth and final year on the board and I've loved every minute of it. Um, love working with Dr. program work with Jude and the outboard um colleagues and um you know originally I ran I thought it
010would be a good fit for me. I've been teaching 30 years now and um you know have been able to travel around New York State and see a lot of school districts as a New York State teacher of the year and um have been inducted into the national teachers hall and I will say that Grand Island schools after seeing many schools around the state and um around the country is definitely a gem and it is a wonderful wonderful school district. I'm very, you know, I was very happy with um my daughter's successes. Got an older daughter that's finishing up medical school now and another one that's accepted into an early um acceptance program for medical school. So, I believe in our schools is another reason why I joined. I think we have outstanding um schools
011here on Grand Island and um great leadership both from the board and from all of our administrators really. So, thank you for allowing me the opportunity to serve to the community and to um for all the support over the years from my fellow colleagues on the board. >> Sure. I guess I will for see that's what I did seven years ago. I ran not really knowing what this job entailed was going to happen but I knew the schools were great and I wanted the support. some years later and I love serving and I'm really at the end of the day. [Music] >> Thank you. We worked around 10 years and uh I remember walking around with my daughter in a stroller at a year old campaign going door to door recently didn't know a lot
012of people but I knew I wanted to be involved in my community and I knew my mother [Music] so I wanted to be a part of her weal 12 grade she was 11 in sixth grade. So um it's the most rewarding experience when you see stuff but impact. Anybody [Music] else? >> Well, thank you all for letting us take the time to show our appreciation to our community. And Jordan really did touch on that. end of my 13th year as a board member and um I mean I can remember years um you know foundation maybe was going to be cut and we spent we spent sleepless nights deciding what what's going to be cut and thankfully we didn't have to do that year on night we we really take our decisions seriously and we sit
013down tough decisions and um and we are doing a great job and we really do all the time to support student. So, thank you for giving us the opportunity to say thank you back to our community and the administration here for allowing us to do um what we did. Thank you. Um public comment session we did not have anybody sign up. So, [Music] Mr. >> Thank you very much. Uh in curriculum instruction we have an action item will be adopted for adopt three novels two in seventh grade and one in sixth grade. >> Can I motion a second? >> All in favor? Opposed? >> Motion carries seven. Thank you. You'll see our uh professional development or curriculum instruction um flyer that we're striving to put out each month. We're trying to create an environment where
014it's focused on engagement in instruction, empowerment, create a sense of belonging for everyone every day. Our months are active professional development. And so what we'll see is the professional development that has been going on throughout the month of September. And I do want to point out uh we are part of the pilot project. Grand Valley is one of 13 schools now who uh collaborates with the modern learners community. Uh the modern learners community is helping us uh prepare for graduate uh and what that will entail and what that will look like in our schools. uh Hillary Cret Harvey and Alicia Bashi. Um and myself and Japan are going to be there's quite a sense of work. Um uh we have about four three or four online meetings a month. Um we have a couple meetings
015that take place in person in both and we're ahead of the game in terms of in terms of preparing for the portion of graduate measures that come out and uh later on hopefully very soon uh I'll be explaining more about what those portrait graduate uh characteristics uh entail this [Music] Um, does anybody have any questions before I ask for a motion? >> All right. Then I will ask for a motion to approve instructional personnel PI1 and PI2, please. And a second. >> All in favor? Opposed? Motion carries. [Music] Good evening, Board of Education, Dr. Graham, and district administrators. I'm pleased to introduce Jennifer Florio as our new teaching assistant over at Kegabine. Mrs. Florio brings a strong background in education and student support to our district. She was a student teacher at Kegabine several years
016ago and has served as a building made a basin since the beginning of the school year. Mrs. Glorio holds a bachelor's degree in childhood education from Buffalo State College and a master's in theology and Christian education uh from Concordia University. Mrs. Florio is known for her excellent communication skills, adaptability, and commitment to creating a positive learning environment. She always had a smile on her face and was willing to jump in to support teachers and its students. From the first day of school, Mrs. Florio has made herself an invaluable member of our school community and we couldn't be happier to have her join us as a teaching assistant this year. So, congratulations, Mrs. Florio. [Music] Personal non-instruction and I get a motion for one and a second. All in favor both motion cars. [Music] question. [Music]
017Thank you. >> Good afternoon everybody. Um, thanks. Um, I'm going to go over this PowerPoint presentation. um maybe all earlier today and so we went a little bit more depth. So I'm going to kind of keep this uh at a high level just to kind of hit the highlights. Um but please let me know if you have any questions. [Applause] Um so in that whole packet there's a there's few reports in here. So the first one here kind of main reason I'm required to do required by state is the report on the financial statements. So basically what that report says is that your job is to ensure that the financial statements are in accordance with the general accounting principles. Our job as auditors and expressing opinion whether they are not whether they are or not
018and we are clean issues. So good job. Um there is also a report in there required by the government of auditing standards um that basically states that part of the whole audit process we need to evaluate control. So the cash receipts are dispersing your payroll cycles in order to express an opinion on that first. Um but if we come across anything you're required to put uh required to uh state that number. Um the next report is according to the uniform guidance single act. This is district spend over $750,000 in federal grants. So um you're at $1.8 million. Then we're required to test at least 20% of those federal expenditures. So we look at special application program cluster which is for 61 and 619 programs. Um the one thing I'll point out you can see I
019know it's a little uh small there is last year we had close about $3.8 $8 million in federal grants. That was due to those four grants from 2020 on. Um so we finally those finally expired in September 2024. That was about 1.5 million funds. Um and we had no issues with no findings related to the special education. Um the next report, this is a required communication review. Um it's fairly ordered standard language. So I'm not going to go down all of them, but you can kind of see that reading each of them. There's no difficulties encountered in the audit. There's no statements audit findings or issues a quarter as well. This is where we have some comments, observations. A lot of these we've had comments in the past, so not go over it for the
020sake of time, but um you know, if you have any questions, just things that kind of came through mostly in the business office and we'll kind of get into our numbers here. So overall, you can kind of see we have about a 2 million $2,226,000 surplus this year. Um last year was closer to 6.5 and we'll kind of talk about on the next couple of slides of how that was. Um but another solid to us. Um the deficit is our capital project finance through timing. That's our smart box project that we had about $400,000 in technology upgrades this past year. We'll get reimbursed hopefully this upcoming December. Um flu service you can see had a great year. um $371,000 surplus this year. Um I mean sorry $229,000 surplus. Um last year that was $144,000. So
021we still get about $80,000 better. Uh if you look at that number three years ago, we were at a deficit of 2,000. So we've come up a lot. Um our revenues were almost 1.6 this year. Last year about 1.4. know the exact number is $235,000 but 18% revenues. Our expenses also went up $150,000 13%. Um so great job everybody turn around that is due to our reimbursement rate from federal and state but also the the C program uh free. So, um, great trend to see. Um, and then also miscellaneous, uh, special revenue. That's just the scholarships that we had. Um, we didn't issue that much more scholarships. A lot of those funds in the prior year should have been housed over in the the general fund, so they got kind of cleaned up a little
022bit, but that $46,000 a little bit more. Uh next, if you go to this is our total fudge of revenue in the general fund. This past year, we went up 2% 1.1 million. Um property taxes are 955,000 of that budget. Um state aid did increase a little bit. Some of our aid, especially on our building projects, are starting to fall off. Um as well as a reduction just state get out to us. um sales tax that's all from county that went up about uh 3% $150,000 and then other um that went up $200,000 $184,000 was just in interest earnings up about 1.3 million in interest earnings just through um the various investment activities. So that's been great to see cash expenses expenses are up uh $5.6 6 million this year. So the biggest things in
023our salaries that went up 2.6 this past year, 8%. Um that's partly due to us having those regular grants were a special fund in the prior years of about $1.2 million that got moved back from. Um so that's the main reason outside of that race would be up about four 4% just through our contractual um um Um, health insurance also increased $2.4 million in the prior year. um that was due to uh health insurance raised 10% and then we actually had an increase of 17% as so um nothing really um retirement systems increased as well just due to the rates that DRS um and then the only other thing that kind of changed a lot is transportation and other 613,000 just through insurance utilities building survey class things like that on tuition additional students as
024well. Um but um and that's all I really had. This slide is more just converting to the full rule. Um so it kind of shows all the long-term assets notations but I'll skip that. Um, that's all I really had. [Music] One of the things I just want to mention is when I came into the district, as I do with every district, I do a fund balance calculation and it was included in the packet and I wanted to you an idea of where you started, how much revenue came in, how much you expended and your new amount if you look at that. And that new amount, which is the 26 million, you've improved your position from 23 million to 26. And then where's that 26 million? And it's in these various reserve accounts. So when you
025talk about reserves, we're going to talk a little later about them. That's the you have um in balance and on the bottom of it, it shows how much you're allowed to have in balance, 4% of your budget and then it shows what you have in balance and then uh gives you the assets. So, it's just a very high level uh summary for my purposes and maybe it's beneficial to you as well to see how your district is doing that. Jeremy, I thank you. I really appreciate the hard work of uh your agency and I have been getting lots of good feedback from our business office, Lori and Jim and uh everybody, Jane, everybody who works with you really great feedback. So, we appreciate your professionalism and helping us stay up to date with all rules,
026regulations as it comes to. >> Yes. Thank you. It's a little different looking messages. We really appreciate all your hard work and time and if you could take us through the next few items for the board. So we've seen the report. The next item on the agenda is the acceptance of the draft. This is a draft form because there may a couple won't be material but there may be a couple of things changed in the wording and it's being looked at right now we have to send this to the state so there won't be any numbers so well I think one of the one of the parts is that 65 [Music] I do have a question on that I know the recommendation took advantage of our project. Um I was just wondering [Music] if we
027had to come down. Um I know in years past we talked [Music] for our um we have a very supportive community. Um they support our support projects. Um and and and right now costs are going up on everything. Uh they're bringing more room at the grocery store. They have to go to taxes, everything. I I'm just wondering if if it's an option or we have the opportunity to put that in the fund that would lessen the tax instead of putting in capital fund, right? like and then that way we maybe were not fascinated to being unass and it kind of be a relief to that and thank you um and and contest to our to our support. I know um one time into so I'm just asking the question and I know it's kind of
028late under the gun but I you know for me I'd rather have a break soon. It's a very good question. In pending the year, we have 615,575 level. The long requires us to put in a reserve. That's the first step. We can only have a 4% balance. So, we're going to have a lot of people from want to know why you have 4%. The way this works is if you look at the reserves, we put it into a reserve. In this case, we're recommending a go with the capital reserve because we're using right now the capital reserve has $1.9 million in it. We're using that to offset the taxes on the proposed capital. >> So, we're putting it there to raise that offset to 2.5 million. So that in a way lessens the burden for
029capital project. Now in addition to that you have these other quotes bank accounts for reserves like retirement expenses and others and money construction budget if you want to lessen the amount that you would normally budget for retirement let's just say and use some of the money from the reserve to support that. other words, lessening the amount, um, having less impact on your taxpayers and supporting that from money that you have in these reserves. That's that's the way you can do that. Um, but there's no way to lose 63,000. >> Not right now. I mean, it wouldn't be appropriate to put it into new programs because >> I'm not saying I'm saying save it. Putting it into put it into a fund >> that we can use instead of taking money from our >> Well, there's
030only 11 different reserves, right? You can't just develop another fund. really. >> So, you need to transfer it to one of those reserves and then use it as best you can to offset assets in the future. And we're recommending going to the capital at this point. Um because I just would like, you know, I would just like to see it being faster, right? I mean, And if they can't have anything, I just they're so supportive and it's, you know, um, you know, and in the capital project, it's just going to let them have that service and it's really not going to be a 600 flow straight through to a tax. It just doesn't 600,000. It just they won't see that income. So I reserve categories. So, is there a reserve that will allow us to
031move that into [Music] there's not an easy way to transfer them to the tax offset. >> We've done it in the past, >> but you've taken it out of the reserve and offset their expense in the budget most likely. I I don't I don't know what he was doing. I'm not really sure what but we did last year [Music] and Legislation is some of that money to >> Dr. first [Applause] basically I think I know what they're doing is they're taking [Applause] let's say unemployment we would lessen the amount of budget for unemployment [Music] unemployment some we use excess we have excess money and that's why it was it was this exact same situation we have excess money and we used it to lessen the responsib I mean that go into detail but is it
032possible years ago was over 4% maybe some of those upside 500,000 just 500,000 plus resource transfer there. I was just wondering if we could that's all just to ease you know going into our budget season and and give some to our taxpayers and if you can they're saying there's no way then there's then there's not a way but we have access [Music] I don't remember the particulars but they were wanting to remember the same thing [Music] not to um just one point and I don't know what they're doing and you're putting that up for and you're saying the tax rate in this budget is is so much they are they are lowering that budget by using some money in their service to lower that because they're paying for expenses hardly [Music] but they're being But
033this money would be in the resource. So we wouldn't be less expenses. % [Music] what happens is you'll have capital project just like the house and you get the interest. So it's not as if you have a $69.2 million capital project and you're getting 71% of 69.2 million and that cash comes into the district as well. It's broken down into principle and interest payments and over time each one of those principal interests generates 71% [Music] and on the revenue side of your budget you will have bill state aid which will be broken down into multiple different categories of state one of them and money. Yes. >> Well, just generally speaking, that's why it's recommended that are always pursuing capital so that when that falls off, it's not a shock to so that to always have
034those ability keeps us level. [Applause] So that is later on the agenda, but right now you're asking for a motion to accept. >> Yeah, I just I still don't I don't understand that. I guess that's my question. I guess what we could do is >> Well, we can't because this has we have to and and it has to be right. So, we can't take it. We just have to accept it and that's unfortunate. I think that um the situation we're in um that's where we're at, right? So yeah, but we don't have another So I [Music] appreciate that, but I didn't understand. I hate going for something and I hate something. Um I I don't understand. And I I still understand why I can't another [Music] special [Music] It's okay. [Music] >> I I you
035know to me I don't know what everybody else is but for me I just don't understand it. [Music] So let's just pray and go for all. [Music] So it says A3. [Music] I guess we need to do it as separate. No problem. [Music] [Applause] [Music] She was the next [Music] comfortable Now we're going to do anything left. motion. Yes, I was on [Music] that transfer. [Applause] [Music] He is the transology. [Music] So, we're going to write that out. [Music] We're not going to pull you out and we're going to motion. So, did you want to go over? >> Can I get a motion for A3 and F, please? >> And second. >> All in favor? I >> opposed. Motion carries 70. And can I get a motion for E, please? >> And a second. All
036in favor? Opposed? [Music] The auto [Music] not the transfer but the transfer is so [Music] Okay. Board of graduation report. [Music] Okay. All right. On to the public comment session. General item um not included on the agenda. We just have to read this before we um sign up. So at this time, public comments are invited from those individuals who desire to address the board of education on any topic which is not on the agenda. Residents who have previously signed up to speak will be recognized by the president. When speaking, please identify yourself first. Speak clearly and loudly enough for everyone in the room to hear you. Speakers are requested to limit the remarks to not more than 3 minutes to appoint a spokesperson if the concern is a group concern and if necessary or desired
037to supplement verbal presentations with your reports. Personal comments for a member of the community, staff, or board of education will not be considered appropriate. [Music] Good evening. My voice is kind of I apologize. My name is J. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak today. I have a serious concerns regarding children's safety. The first day of school, I went to pick up my child and he was not in the room for pickups. The principal stated that he might be in the classroom. might is not a definitive word. Are we able to account for all children's safety without knowing where they are? This now brings me to my second issue that needs to be addressed. The pickup trucks at day have been very difficult and timeconuming affecting my jobs, which is not the issue
038any longer with the experience I have today. All staff and drivers primary concern should be safety. My son turned 6 years old on September 17th. Today the bus arrives 7 minutes early at 3:28. Our bus drop off time is at 3:35. I ran downstairs to put my flipflops on, mind you, not sneakers to buy, but flip flops. Before I could even put my second sandal on, my barely six-year-old was already at my back door, and the driver had already pulled away. With that being said, on March 20th, 2008, my friend was kidnapped from her bus stop. She was 12 years old. She was repeatedly drugged and raped after she was taken by a man who recorded her walking to her bus stop a block or two away from her home. Bloodly, she escaped by tying
039bedding together and ran home to her mother. Can we imagine what might happen to a six-year-old without the ability to climb out of a second story window? This issue needs to be addressed immediately. These are problems we as parents shouldn't have to worry about. This is besides being disregarded and blatantly ignored with other issues I've already mentioned to some of you on the phone. Single parents are being excluded, disregarded, ignored, and disrespected. My job as a mother is to protect my child and others from harm. So how are we going to address these issues today? That was actual question that was not to unfortunately we listen to your comments. This is another conversation. So we'll take your concerns and we'll discuss those. >> I really hope so because a six-year-old should not be luck on
040his own. without a key, without anybody home. Luckily, I did get out today, but they would have no idea. A stranger could have grabbed my child off the side of the road. And this is I guarantee mine is not the only one it's happening to, but I will be the first person to say something. So, I hope it is taken care of because I will continue to come to every single meeting until I am regarded and not ignored any longer. Thank you. Thank you. really appreciate your comments and concerns. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] I uh just want to say that I know um you know the first month of school, first few months of school very busy um while trying to make adjustments. So appreciate your comments and um I also appreciate all the hard work
041that the school is doing and um we're kept up to date on all going on all the adjustments all the uh changes and continuously working to make things better safer and more. Um I know the uh homecoming high school had a great time for a lot of great things about that so many great activities that have been going on and so just going to continue to make the big changes and um continue to work together and be very I would just like to second what said um and thank um Dr. Graham and the district and the grounds the grounds people that um took care of that really. So we really appreciate everyone's comments and definitely um listen and discuss to say huge shout out to all the high school administrators, staff, everyone that fantastic And
042these are pretty awesome. Very very Thank you. Anyone to share homecoming? Any fun? [Music] Yeah. Everybody I just I wanted to show the board just if you want to look at the screen behind you or to your left. Um these are just some of the photos from homecoming. We thank everybody, all of our teachers, administrators, all of our staff who make homecoming so special for our students. We also have the passenger torch which really was a very special kind of second year and we want to thank Cheryl Conor for bringing this idea to us a year ago and the collaboration between Sway and the high school organizing all of our kindergarten students to be on our football field with our high school students. Want to thank Jeff and Tina Osler who donated all the Viking
043pennants that you see in these pictures. Uh the seniors went from one end zone to the 50 line and the kindergarters went from the other end zone to the 50 yard line and exchanged gifts uh representing life and spirit but also that they matter. And each child received a bracelet that says you matter. Um, and there's Charlotte speaking uh in front of all the people. And then these are the children that came together uh to a senior to exchange those gifts. And I think you see a Grover in there. >> Yes. So, you know, you can see the joy of being shared the spirit of passing a torch. Uh, two young kindergarten who I believe graduated in 208. So, quite a quite a great event and uh in some cases you'll see a 12th grader
044and a parent or a brother and sister celebrating together. You see a lot of great spirit here. Some there's some type of country song that's played that brings everybody to tearful reflection. My wish but really a great event. I want to thank everybody and in particular uh thanks to Cheryl Con first grade teacher here who shared this idea with us um a year ago. We're very proud of that. And here are just some more close-up pictures of the seniors and kindergarteners hanging out together. A really, really great event. And then the powder puff game was outstanding. As Charlotte said, the seniors did win. So you'll see a lot of seniors in pink. And then the homecoming spirit assembly of course is always enjoy. We want to thank Mike Murray for stepping in from Captain Murray
