003know that we have to do some of the transfers, but I guess I just had a question. Like some of them are labeled that it came from FICA and Medicare. Is that like I'm sure it's allowed, but is that money that comes from Medicaid or it's just like you put it in that line? >> So, it's a budget line. Okay. >> To pay for that. So, uh we have to budget. I mean, good budgeting practices is to budget for all the salaries for subs and other didn't spend all the salary, so there was money left over. >> Okay.

All in favor? >> I Superintendent Chandler, we're going to move right to you. >> Okay. Uh well, uh first of all, I need to apologize to any of our board members that were present for our opening. Uh I was so excited and perhaps a little bit nervous that I neglected to recognize you and acknowledge your presence, but I want uh those of you to know that we're those of you that were able to join us very appreciative that you were there. Uh and I know that our staff members appreciated seeing you there as well. Um >> I you know you mentioned I don't think anything to apologize for. I probably
006should have done that initially when I got up to speak. So >> I'll own that one. one of one of us should have. Um but um I greatly appreciate people people taking time out to show up for that and uh Owen and Hika did a fantastic job kicking everything off. >> it was an early morning, right? >> That's good for you because you know tomorrow [Laughter] >> our first game's tomorrow. >> I know. I know. Hey. >> Um, since our last meeting, uh, I had the chance to attend the friendship festival. That was really great. Um, just a really amazing event. Um, chance to connect with community members directly and, uh, there's nothing quite like being able to chat with people over a piece of funnel cake. So, it was, uh, fantastic. Um, I also
007was able to wrap up my, uh, meet and greet opportunities with, uh, food service, transportation, building the grounds. So it gave me a good chance to thank those people in advance of their crunch time which is now. Um but they work very hard. So I just wanted to publicly acknowledge them. Uh our welcome start and our other orientation events have been really fantastic. Uh lots of bright smiling faces and happy parents and happy staff members. Uh you know yesterday was really positive vibe today as well around the district. So, uh, I feel like with with students excited and staff members energized, we are ready to go tomorrow and we can't wait. >> That's it. >> Thank you. >> All right, >> Jean. >> Hi, Jesse. >> I don't know if we were allowed to move
008these. Okay. Um, so we I just wanted to give a quick update. We had new teacher orientation last week. We had nine teachers that are new to staff. Um it was a really great group again like really as Craig said you know energetic wanted to get in. We spent a lot of time on building relationships tried to frontload as much high level where we are as a district as possible. Um, and then we'll be working with uh Laura Rhinish, the mentor leader who coordinates all the mentoring meetings during the year to try to bring back some of the things that we either kind of got just a tiny bit on and maybe a little bit rushed and we can come back and revisit. Um, and also we just did finish two superintendent conference days that
009were quite busy. Some great training around trauma and restorative practices. Um, some tabletop experiences with our TA and BA staff. Um we had our intensive deescalation strategies also provided to our TA and BBA staff. Um and that was going on today. Another training around our new math curriculum at the elementary level. Uh a lot of information represented and um moving toward the I Ready Diagnostics. So there's a lot of things that are moving and teachers heads were quite full. We tried to give them some time so that they could process that. Um but it is a busy time. But I think again the energy was really positive and um it's going to be a great start. Looking forward to it. >> And that's it. >> Great. Thank you. >> Thank you, >> Jesse. >> Um
010I just want to give a quick update. Uh capital project is, you know, looking great. Everybody's able to get back into their classrooms. Uh few things outstanding. Uh, one, uh, I believe there's some windows that need to be put in at the warehouse. Um, some of the fire alarms are not finished. They'll be doing that after hours. Um, um, again, we will not be switching those over until um, it's working and we test it. Um, I don't know if anybody's seen those beautiful um, uh, parking lots out there. I think they did an awesome job. Uh, the lights should be on for those new parking lots when we leave tonight. if it's still dark out. Um, and then what else do we have? Um, other than that, they did a great job. I I gotta
011really thank Schoolhouse and Bill Shro and their team to really come together. They did an extremely a ton of work this summer to put this all together so these people can get back. And, you know, the building grounds group were right behind once those construction guys were done. They were in there cleaning, getting ready for those teachers. So, um, I really thank those guys for putting all that extra work for getting it ready for the for for everybody. Um, the only other thing I want to mention is, uh, it's tax season, so um, please take a look in your mailbox for your tax bill. Uh, you're also able to look them up, uh, on our website. Uh, the new ones are uploaded, uh, as a first, so they're up there and ready to go. Uh,
012if there's any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out. Um, you know, we'd rather you pay it right the first time than guess and have to send it back and then deal with all that. So, if there's any questions about their tax bill, if you hear anybody that has questions, just reach out. We're more than happy to help. It's just easier for us to help you before it, you know, you send in that check. So, um, other than that, that's it. >> Yeah, I received mine yesterday. Thank you. I appreciate it. >> I don't know if they were, but you were able to check with on the Chromebook assignments yet on replacements. I think every five years. I mentioned to you they're due for them. >> I checked on that. >> Okay. Yeah. >>
013Yeah. >> Do we have an update on what what grades receive them this year? >> So, it'll be in your weekend update, which I don't have in front of me. I want to say it will be the 11th grade class and the kindergarten class >> this year. >> They've had theirs for five years. My daughter has hers since >> Oh, I'm off by a year. >> Maybe. >> Are they 10th going 11th? >> They're No, they're ninth going 10th. >> Ninth going 10th. Yeah. Fifth, 6th, 7th, 8th, and ninth. I think I'm off by a year. >> And some of those Chromebooks are a little sad. >> But it's the incoming kindergarten friends. >> They're the oldest. >> My computer every time I try searching like try to search something up and like I enter
014it, it starts glitching and I've shut this thing down. I restarted it. I did everything that I can to possibly save it and it won't work and I'm I need to write my essay, guys, and I'm stressing out because I don't know what to do. >> Well, we can help you with that. >> Yep. >> Have you contacted anybody? I tried but like so it it just doesn't work you know like I try and um it's just it starts glitching out like it doesn't want to give me an answer so I try to like take it out you know be nice to it because it has fallen down the stairs a couple times >> but it survived surprisingly but I don't know your honesty >> I know thank you >> for those that are getting
015them how is that rolled out like at what point in the year do they receive them. >> I don't >> they should be getting them right at the beginning of the year from what I was told. But exactly how would be I have to get back to you on >> how they're doing that. >> I just know that >> I can I can put it in I can get more details and put it in the update. >> It is 11th and kindergarten. >> But is it not every five years then? >> So it's not like >> it's roughly every five years. It's >> so for those that have ones that do not currently function properly, >> they should be reaching out to the absolutely reaching out to the tech committee because I mean the IT
016department because everyone should be working have a good battery life and if you have an issue reach out to the principal we'll take care of it >> because when they hand them in some of them are in like I know my kids was some of them are in some states of disrepair some of them where the like the screens are separated and things like that >> over the summer as to evaluate them. If there's things like that, will they just automatically replace them with a new one? >> They would fix it if they're able to fix it. >> If they're able to fix it, if >> they replace it, it's not necessarily a brand new one. >> That's fine. >> It could be another one within the cycle that is in >> So, they they
017look good. >> They inventory them and if they can fix them, they fix them. If not, okay, perfect. >> What happens if they didn't get collected? >> Nobody asked me for my my Nobody asked my daughter for her Chromebook back. >> Then she would still be keeping that device. She should say and >> I will email it because it does not work properly. >> Okay. Yes. >> Okay. Matt, >> you had a construction. >> Yeah. Just Jesse, not specific question, but I did get a couple of text messages today as tends to happen from people that had questions about some of the construction things that went on, things that showed up in their room kind of stuff. They don't know what's there. >> Would you have rather have them contact the principal >> or write
018to? >> You can have them sent out to me and if I can answer. Yeah, I'll I'm more happy. Bill's running 200 miles an hour. So, let me uh Yeah, have them reach out to me directly and I'll and I'll >> I want to send in the right direction. Sorry. >> I appreciate that. I appreciate that. Yeah, have him reach out to me. We'll get it figured out for him. >> There some really weird stuff. So, >> okay. >> Thanks. >> All right. Um Owen or Hikah, you have anything like to report on? >> Just excited to get this school year going and working with you guys. Uh, and I do have a question about the new bus layout. Do you think there's potential for students to get confused or is it just like staying
019the same number because the buses like, you know, how they shift? They were in the middle and now they're on the outside. >> Mhm. >> I don't know. Is there teachers know like the protocol and able to inform the students? >> So, they were given the layout. Uh, the high school was given and the middle school was given the layout of which each bus is going to be. So, they should be everybody should know where each bus goes. Uh, and then the the bus will know which lane to go in because it's labeled. And then you can see the the route number on the side of the bus. >> Okay. >> So, it should be the same one every day. >> Probably going to be a chaos in the beginning, but theoretically they should have
020just shifted from the middle to the out. >> It's going to be chaos no matter what tomorrow. >> Yeah, >> but that's a theory, you know, reality. Who knows? >> So, what time my bus comes in the morning, so I should know >> because >> I can find out if you really want to know, >> please. Because I I didn't get like I usually get a mail every year. >> We can check after the meeting and we'll let you know. That would be nice because I'm I'm scared. I don't want to go tomorrow. I'm I'm seriously really scared. I don't want to take that test. It's I'm so scared. I just know I'm not gonna get a I have a a test on how to kill a mocking bird >> and I'm so scared because
021I didn't complete my essay and it's due Friday. Well, because this thing won't work. >> It's not my fault. Just tell me. It's not my fault. >> Well, let's let's talk after the meeting. >> That'd be nice. >> I taught that book for many many years. >> Have you? >> Yep. >> That'd be nice. I need some help on it.

023>> It's the current version. >> But that's the correct code of conduct. That's the one we have.

As far as upcoming activities, the big one is tomorrow, of course, tomorrow morning, bright and early. And then the next meeting is the 17th uh regular meeting. Um I have nothing for executive session this evening. Neither does the superintendent. Does anybody at the table have anything they'd like to discuss in executive? >> Can I you just skipped over the meeting building ground minutes? >> Yeah, go ahead. >> Sorry. Um and some of those
