001I didn't know we store food when it's like they store it. They they just kill it where it is. And if they eat it, they eat it. They they kill everything. Killers. Well, these were all piled in one little pile together separate from the nest. I was like, "Okay, this is weird." We We had a big We are going to call the meeting to order at 6:02 p.m. And if everybody please stand for the pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Do we have the need for an executive session at this time? That's okay. Um, we are going to adjourn the public meeting at 6:04 p.m. Okay. Individual
002personnel issues. I have a motion. So move. Thank you, Chris. And a second. Second. Thank you, Molly. All those in favor? Any opposed? Any abstain? Okay, we will be back as quickly as possible. We're gonna wait. Just Benny's usually pretty quick, so we'll just give him a second to, you know, as Jean Jordan used to say, bio breaks. weird. Well, it is, but I I think that in terms of gene, it's something that's that's said in the military. That's just weird. Um, you know, I know that's true. I know. Okay. So, we are going to reconvene into open session at 6:29. Thank you all for waiting. correspondence. There is none. Um policy discussion on board for tonight is maximum heat in schools for openers. Yeah, for openers. I know you have quite a pile there.
003Yeah. So, um we've got a couple of things that we need to um take action on. One of them is um we need to have a policy on the maximum heat in schools here. I'm just going to pass these around. There's a bunch of them and it looks like they're not in order. But um you may remember that Governor Hokll signed that law that says you can't essentially you have to take measures at 82 degrees in instructional spaces and then you have to um relocate um at 88 degrees where practical. Um, thank you. So, there's that little caveat at the end that gives you an out. But, um, honestly, once you make that law, you can't really, you know, and then schools, I mean, so for for example, this coming Monday, um, the, um, there's
004a number of schools who I think are going to release early, the ones who don't have air conditioning, and the majority of schools actually do have air conditioning. Um, our biggest problem is the CA. We have air conditioned portable units there that we use for summer school that we have in most classrooms. So, we are our plan is to they're not that efficient and in fact they generate some heat in the classroom depending how hot it is. Um if it if it cools at night and we can get through most of the day and then we keep the the shades drawn and we use those air conditioners then I think that we can lip along on the afternoon of on u Monday. We have a half day already on Tuesday. So, Tuesday morning, we should
005be fine because that's the other hot day coming up. Um, but we have to have a policy and um so at our next meeting, I'm going to use the proposed policy which is really just restating the law um for us to to adopt, but it just means that you have to take mitigation measures at 82 degrees and you have to be not in those spaces at 88 where practical. So, we are going to if we need to in the future, just so you know, in the in the TRA, we've got the auditorium and we have the third floor that are airond conditioned. So, we can get the whole school in those spaces. Um, if we have to um we can in the high school, we've got the gym and the auditorium and this uh space
006that are all pretty sizable, so we can um figure things out and reconfigure. It's the CA is a little bit challenging if it gets super hot and those air conditioners don't um do enough. So, we we're just going to have to keep monitoring it. But we have already told teachers that if once it hits 82, please pull your shades, you know, turn off unnecessary electrical equipment. Um try to ventilate as much as possible most. Yeah. So, but again, we have to have a policy on that. Is there anybody on overnight? So that's because I know what my I'll open doors and I open attic my but it's only supposed to get down to about 60 I think at night. So it's not going to get Scott's working with our HVAC system to pull more cool
007air in during the night right through the system. So it's also so the building's also secure um and uh do it that way. And then he also can monitor electronically what the temperatures are in the room. So we can see if we need to, you know, look because some rooms get hotter than others. Like the second floor in the TR is very hot and yeah. So that's our plan. Um you know we are going to probably this I mean we're probably going to have to think about long range planning in the next project. It's very expensive. Gford is putting in a bunch of single units in their buildings. Yeah. Who did that? G. Oh, really? Yeah. Boy, that could get costly. Um, is there a way to as part of the next $100,000 project of
008like getting the cafeteria over there? We just um in the TR. No, at the um at the CA. At the CA. Yeah, we just had a You want to talk about that? We just had a meeting today. Yeah. So um we every five years uh we have to do a building condition survey and it's called a fiveyear plan and it really is a framework for future capital projects. It's really a multi- uh meeting uh I process where we we started back in January. We had a beggar meeting today and then over summers where a lot of uh the consultants walk the buildings, review the the facilities and then we come together and meet again and that's where we kind of uh develop priorities of you know um what would be the focus for the next
009project. Uh there was always a very nice condensed report that has to be submitted to the state. We paid for that. We're probably gonna be at the next board meeting bringing to you that agreement um for approval. Um but we've been using Ash McGra all along. Um again, it makes sense to use the same kind of architect that we've been, you know, uh working with for the last couple decades. I like how you put that, the last couple of decades because the thing is is that they're already familiar with the buildings and Exactly. And like even today we were talking about we're paying ATRA um for an air conditioning study specifically to uh figure out the needs of the buildings. Um and they brought up something I didn't know about today that even with Freon
010and the current uh air conditioning systems um is going away. The ones we just did. Yes. Ah, apparently there's new environmental um impact on it regulations and uh so that'll be also part of the report to really say what we need to do to be back in compliance and then what would it look like for us to do this kind of districtwide air conditioning but again we'll develop that plan but then we'll kind of figure out you know what is the priority the next project are we really look at classroom to classroom are we going to you know look at whatever we can afford really I mean is it the bigger spaces is it a before, you know, we kind of go through that with the gym and the cafeteria. Yeah. Like even if if
011we can't do the whole building, getting the CA, getting them to, you know, one or two places where it's airond conditioned to help us kind of move forward, right? Yep. So, so what is the time frame, you know, if they're going to be looking when would when would it actually be the next capital project? Right. Yeah. I mean, and then we were talking about it a little bit today. Um, again, we really do try to maximize our building aid ratios. So, we try to go about for product as soon as we can get full reimbursement back. Um, so this one is now done, thankfully. Um, we can start planning a project really once this report's done. We'll start working on timelines, but and in theory, we could have a vote in three years and potentially
012another project in five. And that's what I was thinking. It's about five years. uh real realistically and I mean it's just getting warmer and warmer so we're going to be limping along. Yeah. I mean that that is I mean if with with all the things that are in that are being assessed I mean there may be things that we could you know here outside of a project you know um that's what I was asking if it might be a possible for the next 100,000. Yeah. Are there any grant programs available? You're really good at that. Yeah. not in it for this cuz everybody wants it. Trying to say, you know, you guys are demanding this, so how about giving us some money to do it, but it was hinted a little bit, but you know,
013they can hand all they want. But it wasn't included in the budget this year. Right. Right. Right. Right. So, who knows moving forward maybe cell phone. So, we have done discuss anything about like the mini spliffs that are really popular now and that are pretty costefficient. Yep. Um, and those are conversations where the mechanical engineer really kind of looks at everything that's out there. And even across the district, we have certain split rooms like that. Um, but the latest he was even pushing for today is if we went to the classroom by classroom method, how we did the prek classrooms, they had standalone. Yeah. Instead of like the ones all the way by the windows. So that's kind of I guess the current um preferred method, but again, things change all the time. Yeah. here
014in the high school, doesn't it? It It is cooler in general here. I mean, I don't know that not everybody would agree with me. I guess it's all relative, but right, but obviously we have air in here. But it does seem like it stayed pretty cool in the high school even when I went to school. And it has to do it has to do with the age of the building and it also has to do with what the wind where the windows are facing. you can get air flow. The I I think the TRA the second floor is is the worst is the worst. Oh, I would agree. There's one side a couple sides out of CA where the sun just firming all the time and they got screens and they're pulling them down. Yeah.
015Stand alone. You go in there and you'll see us there and everybody will be sitting there. Okay. Well, keep us posted on on Monday and Tuesday. Um, I'm I'm I mean it's it's a real hardship to just let people go suddenly early, which is what other schools are planning to do. I'm really going to try not to do that. I think we can we can make do and we can get through. Maybe show the Ca kids a movie in the high school uh auditorium. Well, it's it's kindergarten graduation in there on Monday afternoon, too. So, we can't miss that. That's a biggie. Party graduation. There you go. Yeah, fit the whole CA into the pool. How cute would that be? I love Tom's idea. Adorable. Would it? Okay, so another um policy for discussion um
016when we just changed, as a matter of fact, um our cell phone and other electronic devices policy. Um again, this is this change in education law um that we explicitly need to say because our language said pretty much you had to follow school rules. that gave us some, you know, leeway for whatever we decided the rules were, but we have to explicitly say that they're not allowed now. And and the language that's there in red is what needs to be included. And on the next page in the in the policy that is now required from the state, um it also says that you have to outline specifically um how parents should contact the school. I mean, we also have that in our handbooks, but um can I ask a question, Joanne? So, it is this
017new law affecting all grades or just a certain grade and up. That's what I couldn't figure out. It's all grades, but it's see it's not in elementary. So, you don't have to do any one thing, right? There's you can decide yourself how you're going to handle it. And in the elementary school here, they're, you know, it's just if if they secretly have them in their backpack someplace, it's not an issue. It's the culture is just completely different, right? So, it really doesn't start in re until sixth grade, that's when there's like a shift and that's where kids all want to have phones and they have phones and they want to have them out and but if we start having a problem in the fourth or fifth grade levels that are in the you could change
018it, but you're also in one room. You're with one teacher, you know, I mean, it's all you're you're backing the halls alone, right? Yeah. Okay. So, uh yeah, certainly it's I mean we would have to change if suddenly the world changed and every second grader came in with the phone to be online. Oh, that would be scary. So, I just have a question about B that's been added on school grounds. Any building structure? Uh that would that apply to kids who keep their cell phones in their cars like the high schoolers? It's it's in the facilities like within any Okay. because it says in any land, you know, land contained but the boundary of school. Sorry, just just clarifying. I didn't think include that, but No. Yeah. Oh, it does say athletic playing school. Is
019that only during school hours? Instructional day. Instructional day. So like you have class out. Yeah. But they can have it out. Yeah. Okay. And you know the question like for example Boseies has got a way more complicated issue because kids are coming from all different schools from all different Yes. They hadn't started any of this. No. No. And to be honest, what what they're This is making sense. And yeah, one of my favorite policies. I'm really glad we took care of it last year. Don't have problems that all the biscuits are going to have. Me, too. All right. And then the sick bank um policy, which you can see um here there's a red line version. Um there was just old language. This is some of the contracts that we were just talking about that
020we have just settled. Um, this is included and it there were things that were incorrect. So, it's just an opportunity to make some changes. Um, it doesn't change any anything that's prescribed in it. It just um is more accurate. It includes pretty much everybody who does not have a separate sick bank outlined in their contract that they have through their bargaining unit. So, which is a lot of people and before it before it just had it said like bus drivers I think was it said in there and it's um this is just more inclusive language so I don't want to make sure that I have a question and it may be for Zach or Joanne so maybe it's the bargaining units themselves but I know that some of our bargaining units have the ability to
021give sick days away to people when people need them. Is that not here or is that by individual bargaining units? Nobody has that. Yeah, I mean it's potentially other sick banks operate like that. Uh we and I think we have four other we have four sick banks in total in the district. None of them have that uh ability to do that. Is it because they just have chose not to or don't know that it could be part of their contract? Do you have any idea? Um well the other units that have the sick bank is normally spelled out in the contract which would be again collectively bargained but again sick banks theory you know the district is giving days for that to be a little protective what we decide to give out I I know
022we don't see it a lot but periodically somebody has a cancer or something that has really just taken away their sick days and they'll contact us and say would you know anybody want to donate one or two and people don't donate a lot but it does help that person get the extension they need. So I was just curious as why we might not be doing it. So can we just comment on that because I worked at BM University and it was that way as well but so we used our it was our sick time. Yeah. So the way that the sick infuses is you donate a day a couple of days in the beginning. So like we have you know, everyone already donates their time, if that makes sense. Yeah, it's a little different at
023Courtland. So, you can take a day and give it to someone. Yeah, I know. Right. But that's not part of the sick bank. It's your personal time, right? And so, I know that that has happened here, but that's not part of the sick bank. I don't think it's happened here even for personal people because I think we were told we couldn't do it for somebody once recently. So, we don't we don't do it that way. It is nice if you can. But, I mean, this system works. I mean what happens is then there's established criteria for you know you have to have work to a lot of them you have to work here for a year and and then you only get so many days and and the committee then decides based on the criteria
024so it's not like well I don't like this person or I do like this person or I think this person took too much time off to begin with right it's just you know it's really structured this way and I think you know most units like it that way so it's not a you know popularity contest or see or people aren't left to feel like it's unfair. They understand what the rules are at the beginning. And it's not like, well, I I put a plea out, but nobody wanted to give me a day, you know? Yeah. I know the county did it for a long time and it was across all units, across the whole place. But I'm sure they ran into trouble because then they said there was a limit as as to like how
025much the individual could donate to someone else, because we we do have that, too. Yeah, they they changed that. that hadn't been, but I'm sure that it kind of there was a reason, but that that's another if anybody looks into that, you want to look into what where you could end up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And and it first I find it interesting right on this uh non the temperature one, will the format be the same as our stand? Yeah, we'll put it on. I mean so I'm just the content looks good. So all of these will come for first reading next meeting which um it it reads well. All right. Thank you. Send in your comments. I have I have speech prepared and gifts. So don't anyone leave. And we got food. We brought it
026just for you. It's a small bank is sick bank is Does she have it on the first read? I thought it was Oh no. Okay. Never mind. Sick bank is not for discussion. is for first read. Oh, Stacey's right on it. Thank you, Stacey. So, we just need to send any changes like that we would want. Okay. Yeah. Right. Okay. If you if we don't feel No, if you're ready, if you're ready. I just didn't think she had. Yeah. I just There was just a couple things I'll send. All right. Yes. And again, um what's laid out in it is not any different. It's just really the groups and how they're referred to that the language. I think Tom would prefer to go back to first reading. So just be discussion tonight. That's what Tom
027said. Oh, no. I'm just saying I usually when I see Yeah. I I I don't know. I like to sit and look at it and then make notes and stuff. I didn't Well, it was this the sick bank was in our in your packet. It wasn't. No, it was just added. It was just added. Gotcha. Okay. It's up to you. If not, no. If it's if it's pretty much in Yeah, it's okay. There's not many things. Well, you can decide when we get to that one and if you want to table it as a first reading and that's fine. Y Okay. So, next policy for um first reading is weapons in school gun-free schools act for students. May I have a motion? Thank you, Chris. and a second. Second. Thank you, Tiana. Okay, so uh
028you may remember that we had um our attorney look over those um policies. They we had some questions after we had reviewed them. Um the weapons in school for the community and we were considering adding and the because that was a a Eerie one suggestion. Um and then uh we had the just to update the weapons in school for for students. Um so if you read what his recommendations are there, I don't know if you got a chance to do that. Yeah. Yep. So he thinks that we don't need the community one because it's against the law. So basically saying we don't need it because it is the law. They can't do it. Right. Um refresh my memory. Did he say though it was okay to upload it just as a reminder to the spotlight?
029Is that Yes. He said we could but we don't have to. Right. So I guess it's just the call of the board. Well, like I I think what I read through what he wrote, I think there's some discrepancy as to how he looks at it and how the public would and how it's written. He says firearms and most things say it's a that's firearm free. It doesn't say weapon free. Not that I think people would say, well, I can bring this in because it's a knife that has a blade this long, but it's a machete, right? I'm just saying that the way that it's been publicized and that it's out there and there's signs out, it's it specifically says firearms, but I'm sure in this description, a weapon is a lot more things than a
030firearm. Right. Yeah. And and that's what the community one includes. It does the air pistol, cartridges, guns, propel. Yeah. So, but also he does say in his letter that um it's certainly appropriate and will meet the needs of the district should the board decide to adopt such a policy. And and I agree having the policy might be a good idea in terms of serving as a reminder to to the community that and that's why I brought it forward in the first place. I like the idea of keeping So, but for the students because we were doing the students one first, um did anybody have any questions or things they wanted changed on that or So, we had questions about um if the um Yeah. And so, it does say that if the superintendent or their
031design is hasn't approved it. So, anything that would be curricular or like I think the example he uses to like a gun safety or you know something like that that would be an approved use in the school. So, in the policy and I also talked to him about this just verbally to to clarify um the policy gives that you're not you just can't bring in a weapon unless you've gotten it pre-approved or it's part of the the school program. Right. So it's not he feels like the policy says that by saying that has to if it's not approved by the superintendent or or their designate you said you have to sign off which I guess is the same thing but I mean would you would that be I mean I can't imagine so I think
032there was also an example of like a civil war reenactment or something like that like we before we would allow a student to walk into the school with any kind of gun even though it looked like it was old they would have had to have permission And we would, you know, that one to me is easier because that's a one one time thing. If this is something that's standing we do every year. How does that because it's part of the the approved program of the school and so that that is approved by the superintendent or their or their designate. That's why he feels like if it's part of the instructional program or it's like a school sponsored something that we do then it just gets grandfathered in. sanctioned um in the language, right? So having
033the archery um module in physical education is sanctioned curriculum. So that's built into it, right? And I know they don't use pointed arrow things that are really dead, but field arrow. Yeah, they're they're pointed. But then they also have like color guard. They use sort of the fake guns that can look real. So but those are approved curriculum stuff, right? So I I also saw the last time when it was listed was starting pistols as well for track meets. Yeah. And that's again and that would be just Okay. I I just So those are approved uses. I mean I you know I I mean we can change that. No no I mean he thought that it was appropriate. Um this part that he said I mean the laws don't always make common sense. I mean
034if Well, we want ours to though because we want people to look at our website and say understand what the rules are. Okay. So, I think, you know, within reason, y we can tweak it if we think that it needs to be more clear. Um, I just didn't want somebody to think that they could do something then get in trouble because they thought it was longstanding and it's like, oh, wait, no, you can't do that. So, he thinks that with a with the exception of those students who received prior written permission from the board or its designate, no student may bring in or possess a firearm or weapon on school property. So he thinks that first line means that, you know, we've sanctioned the the curriculum, we've we've, you know, arranged for a program, we've
035had a a special club that's about, you know, weapon safety or gun safety. Um, that that's permission. Yep. Yep. And it's not like Murphy hands out the starter pistol to the students to use. Just No. No. No. I get what you're saying though. just totally because the way it looks and the sound of it and what it is, it's just it can make some people very upset if it goes off and you see it. And we had to bring our own. Um just just for conversation, I worked at Finch Hollow. It used to be a one room schoolhouse. People would come in and say, "Yeah, we would come in and then when we would come in, everybody would set their guns in the corner over here." Oh my god. Like it. And it was just
036I'm just saying how things they would walk to school and all the students would just put the guns they carried to school and picking up lunch or dinner on the way in and out. It just it was a very interesting thing that put the gun in hanging up in the pickup truck. It's a little different today. 80s and now are totally different. Y for 11 years. No. Okay. there. Okay. Any more discussion on this one? Okay. All those in favor? I. Any opposed? Any abstain? Okay. Weapons in school regarding the community. Um, may I have a motion? Thank you, Chris. And a second. Second. Thank you, Tiana. Um, so we kind of started the conversation on this one. Um my personal opinion is I think we should have the policy serves as a reminder to
037people that there is a law against it and a policy against it. That's my opinion. I agree. I agree. Was there any of the language in there that you felt uncomfortable with or don't think it's quite right or Any further discussion on it? Okay. All those in favor? Any opposed? Any abstain? Um, so for the sick bank, would you be more comfortable, Tom, if we You're sure? Yeah. Okay. So, um, for first reading, appendix A, sick bank non-instructional personnel. May I have a motion? Thank you, Chris. And a second. Second. Thank you, Benny. Um, do we have further discussion on it, which is always welcome. There's just some spacing issues and things, but Stacy, when you go through it, you can back up. It's hard when you're doing the red copy to Y and then
038I if I see anything when it comes back for second policy I'll let anybody else. All those in favor? I. Any opposed? Any abstain? Okay. We come to um the exeicio student member of the board of education. May I have a motion? So move. Thank you Tiana and a second. Thank you, Aubrey. Um, do we have any anything that needs to be changed? Any further questions? So, um, I changed a little bit from the first um time we looked at this um, attendance and removal section. Um, we talked about that a little bit last time and it uh did say student uh student board members are expected to attend all public meetings. Um, and I changed it to student board members are expected to attend all public meetings unless legitimate reasons interfere. Um, and the
039superintendent has been notified. Uh, that makes sense. Failure to repeatedly miss meetings without an excuse. Yeah. So, I talked to some of like other schools about this and everybody seems to have some kind of clause in there for fear that you know that kids need to know that when they sign up essentially that they and we're going to have two members so that they can because we know kids are busy so that they can alternate. I mean to me I think that the board would only want to do that if just the kid was just completely blowing it off. Oh, absolutely. I mean it makes sense. No, I'm just I'm just saying the way it's worded, failure to repeatedly miss. Oh, I want you to I just didn't if you show up, we're going to
040get rid of you because unless you failure to meet Yeah. I I think that the wording because it's almost like a double negative. It is a double negative. A failure to miss. A failure to repeatedly miss. So, right. failure to it. You don't repeatedly miss or failing. Well, you can just say repeatedly missing meeting without an excuse. Yeah. Yeah. There you go. You simplify it. Catch Tom. Yeah. But it does make sense though. Um and then I I just had one other thing. I'm sorry. No, sorry. Term of office. It says each student um exficial member will serve oneyear term. Yeah. And then I mean we would have So our So the junior would serve for one year and then then they would start again as a senior. Well, it's a two-year term if you're
041a junior. Well, I know. But then you have to have So I So they got to be voted in again basically. That's what I I Yes. Oh, I thought So it's not a guarantee, right? So I thought No, I though the idea is that they would come in, but they would start like a new term. I mean, we'd have to have something. I mean, we could have another line in there about that. Um, if they you could say juniors would have a two-year term. That's what I wrote. Yeah. Oh, is that what you want to have? I just wrote like initial unless it's like starting this year or if it's going to be something because then it contradicts down below when it actually says what your your term was your term. Yeah. And it says
042you you you roll over from a junior. So, if it said as a senior Okay. It's a one-year. Yeah. I I think that we need to make that a little more clear that we would like so like the junior will start out with a two-year term because they're starting have a two-year term and the senior obviously they're getting a one-year term this time around because or the senior this time it'll be one year but going forward the senior will be the second half of their two-year term, right? Yeah. So, I don't know. I just Yeah. And maybe it just could say something to the fact that the junior does have the option to continue as a two-year term or something like that because maybe they don't want to. Maybe they don't want to be. Well,
043because we say that initial implementation. So, do you want to change it? So, it's not an obligation, but it's an option. Yeah. Because it says in subsequent years, one So, initial implementation at the in initiation of the policy, two students will be selected, one entering their junior year and one entering their senior year. This follows this allows for immediate student representation while establishing a staggered two-year rotation. In subsequent years, one new student entering their junior year will be selected annually to serve a two-year term. During the second term, that student will assist in onboarding the newly appointed junior student, ensuring continuity and mentorship and student representation. So, where's So, where's I think it's up top where it says term of office. Term of higher up in that page. So, what you page what was there
044solve it and then it doesn't have to say it has to be two year it could say you know it's expected two year yeah expected yeah that'd be good so I like how it's explained in the selection process and you know the initial implementation ongoing process do we even have to have that that section the term of office no I don't think so you just get rid of it it's already outlined out well but do you I like that it actually lists a July 1st to June 30th Maybe we can add that. Yeah. Yeah. Only because I think that's very specific. The student understand what the obligations are. Yeah. And I'm maybe it was there and I just missed it, but I'm assuming that they should have to try to come to the reorg meeting.
045That hurts. Well, I don't I don't know the following just to see how you're if they're starting and that's one of the first things they have to go to and that's not I mean I mean I think you saw the webinar too that's not the recommendation the first year at least because they think because we are well it's late in the process now so we're going to be onboarding them right okay and to take that opportunity instead of yeah instead of sitting through that meeting maybe the second year they sit through it because it is yeah it's a learning experience for them but to have at the very beginning. Start July 1st because it's always and it may be that they come to that and they're like, "Nope, don't want to do this." Right. And
046that's and that's not a good representation. No, it is not a good representation of what the board meetings actually are. Yeah. The only thing I had, Joan, is um just for consistency, bullets on the first page, one through five, the beginning of each sentence probably needs a capital letter. All the rest of them do in the other bullets. That's all. Yeah. Okay. Yes. So, I know that you've done the survey and I know you said right now you have about five people maybe. Yeah. How will that end up? You guys Yeah, we're gonna Oh, we're going to discuss that. Yeah. Okay. I'll be quiet then. Do you want And it's going to be the board. I mean, so the 25th is the deadline. Okay. So, if we can meet. Um, we do the first year
047have a little grace period. They said it doesn't necessarily have to be July 1st. Um, so we could do it at our first meeting, but that meeting is long already. But I don't think that Can we get the information ahead of time just to look at? Yeah. Yeah. I I think that if we just like everything else, if we can have the information ahead of time so we can review it, that will make the discussion flow a little faster. Yep. Okay, we'll do that. And let's face it, we we don't want to make them come to the reorg meeting their first time. Yeah. But just remember, Benny's not going to be here for the reorg meeting, so we can vote him in on everything that we want to. Did you have a camera? Maybe. We
048would never do that to you, Benny. So, oh, so Chris, so that reminded me when you said something about putting a capital. This is all just is not important. But when it's numbered 1 through five under the second paragraph, um I think it's fine to leave since it's like a continued sentence like that lower case, but just get rid of the period at the end until number five and you have to use a semicolon. It was all I'm sorry they didn't they didn't do the semicolon with the other one. So I fig that's why the preference which way do you want to do it? all caps or what's been the norm for the mixed up? It's mixed up in this one. Yeah. So, the first section it has lower case. The second one has that
049just in other policies. Don't we normally capitalize? Let's keep consistent with other policies. That would be the recommendation. Okay. It's a stupid grammar stuff. That's just the nitpicking. I love nitpicking. Nitpick away. Not that I'm the perfect grammar person. That's for sure. Well, you do work for a college, correct? Just because you're a professor doesn't mean you're grammatically correct. Trust me on that one. Yeah, it's true. It's still five. Okay. So, um, any further discussion on this one? All those in favor? Any opposed? Any abstain? Okay, that brings us to our first opportunity for the comments from the public. Um, each speaker will be limited to a maximum of three minutes and prior public comment period to a maximum of 30 minutes. This may be waved by a majority vote of the board. The board
050requests that each speaker stand, states their name, residency, and topic of discussion. By law, the board will not permit any public statements regarding individual students or employees. Please be advised that while the board takes public comment very seriously, we are not allowed to comment or respond during the meeting as this is our opportunity to hear from our stakeholders. Items brought to the attention of the board will be taken under consideration for future responses or action or the proper staff member will get back to you at the appropriate time. Is there anybody who would like to speak at this time? Okay. commendations. Good stuff. Lots of exciting stuff going on. Okay, I find a right list. Got too many things going on. Too many policies. Okay. um the uh art and music departments, the music booster

Are you going to take the lead on on that or do you want me to and Stacy to arrange something? How about if we work in conjunction? Okay. and the three of us work on it. Okay. Um I would if you guys think it's appropriate, I would like to invite whoever we choose for students. Um I would like to invite them to to the retreat at least for the first maybe half hour or so,
073not for the whole thing because I don't want to like get them not wanting to do this. But it would be nice to be able to meet them in a more informal Yeah. right um situation and and personally and and not meet them for the first time at a meeting. Yes. All right. Um and if anybody has anything any suggestions of things they would like to have covered at the retreat, um let one of the three of us know so that we can make sure it gets included. I was hoping for a spot. I mean it's a retreat. Yeah. Well, sorry. Um, I was in here for the last meeting. Is it just one evening? So, just a few hours. Yeah, that's what we said. Yeah. 5 to 9.

Okay. Um, I did speak to Joe Manard. So he said if he's free he would come for nothing. So if you have something you wanted to talk on he said he would do that. So what type of things he's educa he's the head of our education leadership program and takes care of all of our interns. Okay. Joe yeah. So if there's just something he's you know that you guys want something out. He said he'd be willing to anything free is good. Are we going to harass Frank? Well, ask Zack and he got free.
075He's good right back. I think it's a short window and she's gonna have already gotten them. So, maybe you just need a quick reminder on them, but not him. I was thinking Molly. What was the date on that again? Just it's August. I thought I had it in August and I kept thinking I thought it was July, but I had it and I'm like Benny July 15th is ringing in my head for something for school board and I and I don't know why either July 15th. Maybe we were talking about that as a you guys were gonna have a big party for me. Maybe that was a Joanne I don't know if you have to mention that we might need to have a board meeting at the end of July. Did you say Joanne? Well
076depending on how hiring goes. Yeah. So yeah. Yeah. So, um Oh, I know why. Because, uh we may have had a situation that we would have to deal with that. That's fine. We're good. Yeah. What time do you want to see for graduation? Five. We usually get here at 5. They usually make arrangements for lists um like the seating chart and the list for the students. Um, we try to accommodate everybody's wishes for giving diplomas to certain people, but please understand that we can't always do that without looking like a uh unorganized. Well, that wasn't what I was thinking of. Go with unorganized. I'm thinking of a clown car. Oh, okay. You know, um I think I wonder I think I know who Molly would like to end one day. A Why start crying? He
077graduated last year. I handed Oh, Sam. Whoops. I'm getting them confused. I have a I have a couple of students who are near and dear. But, you know, like I said, we can't always accommodate it without us looking like we're a big mess. But we have to account, huh? A kid. AB. No. Absolutely. But it's like long enough, you can hand out diplomas to your kids. Five o'clock in Aubrey. It's five o'clock in the main office in the in the board and everything. Um but we'll have a list and if there are students that you would like to be able to give um their diplomas to if you want to send me that beforehand, then we I can get started on it and then have everybody approve it. Once we get a list made, usually
078somebody's willing to make a copy for each of us, but we start with one list. so that we're not trying to write it out seven times or whatever. Okay. Um any takers for the comments from the public? Okay. Public. Um had excitement from the public in a while. That does bring us to board of education comments which we've taken care of some of them talking about the retreat. Um we talked about graduation. Is there anything else we need to bring up? I have a speech to stand up. No, you can wait one second. Just a reminder, especially to the newer board members, NISPA has their leadership conference. It is uh the 31st of July to August 1st. Well, it's actually August 1st and August 2nd. So, if anybody wants to go, I am going. I've
079already taken care of everything, but I'll be up there. So, if anybody else wants to go, just let me know. Where is Albany? $109. It's one of the most affordable conferences we can go to. Does that include accommodations? No, you have to pay for your own hotel space. But yeah. Yeah. But it is an very inexpensive conference and you do learn a lot. So, save yourself. And you're very good about sharing that information. So, that's always which I rely on because the summers are tough with me. I think I'm going to go to the law thing ahead of time. Haven't decided. Before Tiana does her speech only a minute. Does anybody else have I just wanted to say that um for the people that know um I ran into Kathy Griscoll on Mother's Day and
080she was so excited that she was asked to be able to participate in the after prom. Oh, she was so No, she's done it for a long time. I just wanted to say that how it was just it was so nice to see and I will because there are new people who are going to be taking over after prom party next year. I will make sure that they know that they need to contact her because she really enjoys doing the bingo. She decorates the library. She gets some prizes on her own. You know, we supply her with some, too. And it's something that she really loves doing. And I I should I guess I should preface that. She was on the board for a very long time. She was in the district for a very
081long years. Lots lots of years. She was on the board. Yeah. No, she was not on the board for 26 years. She wasn't. I think it was 19, wasn't it? Oh, I'm sorry. Was it years? Yeah. Um, it was close to 20. I want to say it was 19. Right. A lot. Sorry about that. No, that's okay. Because I remember her. She was on the board when I was coming on. Yeah. And she started after I did. Yep. And the only reason why she had to leave was because we had to move out of the district. Yeah. Yeah. And lovely lady. She wasn't able to find a place here. But nice. Thanks for sharing. Yeah. It was it was very nice here. And I'm just I was just very happy to see how excited she
082was. Oh yeah. She came and found me that night and she was like, "Here, I can come here." She was very excited. So yeah, I will make sure that um the next group to take it over knows that they include her that. Yeah, absolutely. Oh, and one other thing, we had a lovely valvatory saludiatoran dinner. It was very, very nice. Although it was supposed to start at 5:45, it didn't start until 6:30, but that's okay. Everything went really well in our studio. It moved right along after that. So, it was very nice. Yeah. Yeah. I wanted to go, but it was more important for Tim Lewis, who's also a an Eagle's Nest officer, to go than it was for me since his daughter Abby was going to be there. So, I stayed behind to do
083the meeting and he went to that. Okay, Tiana. Okay. It's not too emotional, but I It's mostly to you, too. No. So, I wrote it down because I did not want to lose my train of thought. So, as a board member for the past three years, this experience has been everything. I'm going to preface it preface with that. Challenging, rewarding, emotional at times, eyeopening, and above all, meaningful.
