001Okay. Good evening. I'd like to call this meeting to order. Please rise and join me for the pledge of allegiance if you so choose. >> 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. I have a motion to adopt the agenda the adopt the amended agenda. >> So moved. Second. >> All right. We have a motion to go to executive session. >> So moved. >> All in favor? >> I. >> All right. We have to go to executive session. We return shortly to continue the meeting. All right. Call this meeting back to order. Um, do you have any public public comment? I would like to note that the board will not permit will
002not permit any public session any public discussion involving individual public any individual discussion. I'm sorry, so frazzled. Sorry, it's been a long meeting already. The board will not permit any public session discussion involving individual personnel, district personnel, students. Persons wishing to discuss matters involving individual district personnel or students should present their comments andor their concerns to the superintendent or board vice president or president during regular business hours. This is to protect the privacy of our staff and students and to keep the district from legal implications. All right, we have Christa Enov. I'm going to turn my back to you. Testing. Can everybody hear me? All right. Okay. So, this is all positive. Um, for those of you who don't know me, I am Kirsten Anov, one of the organizers of this year's after prom held
003at the rink on May 16th, 2026. I am also the parent of a senior. This event has been held for many years to provide a safe and entertaining space for all juniors and seniors to gather after the prom, whether they attended prom or not. The history of this tra tradition bears repeating tonight as there have been pauses in its continuity. Several years ago, Principal Hornbrook reached out for parent volunteers to revive the tradition. Two years ago, we started with less than $1,800 from the previous afterprom fund. Last year's fundraising efforts and Y stewardship yielded a rollover balance of just over $4,000. This allowed us to start planning early and to secure the venue, attractions, and a vision for our continued fundraising to support this year's event. Our goal was to raise enough funding for the
004event and to roll over a an amount similar to what we inherited this year. We started a new give online fundraising campaign, a signup genius for specific prizes, initiated community outreach to potential donors, and made direct online requests for donations from local businesses known for making contributions. I am very happy to report we raised just over $7,000. This combined with our $4,000 balance made it possible to not only host a successful event, but to roll over more than the $4,000 for next year's event. The cost of the party, which includes prizes, food, decorations, supplies, Central New York attractions for the activities, totaled $6,375.99, barely $100 more than last year. We are grateful for the many individuals and businesses who date who donated so generously. families, community members, our faith communities and churches, the Lancing Faculty
005Association. Over a hundred students attended the after prom party. By the end of the evening, every student still present won something and those there until the very end won an additional prize. Prizes included TVs, Bluetooth speakers, Echos, backpacks, earbuds, gift cards, gas cards, dorm essentials, tools, tool boxes, all kinds of things to appeal to all students from all interests. Students were so appreciative of the prizes. We continue to remain most proud of the following. One, we provided a safe afterprom event for all students to attend at no cost to them, whether they attended the prom or not. We created a sense of community among the attendees, and watching them play field games, icekate, the many rounds of laser tag, the video gaming, silent disco dancing, and just hanging out with one another until the early
006hours makes it worth the late night for the chaperones. We have left a sizable fund to build upon for next year and we appreciate everyone's contributions to making this event such a success. In closing, I'd like to honor the memory of Rob Sullivan who was very present for last year's planning and prize organization. He was an enthusiastic cheerleader for everyone's best efforts and I really from the bottom of our hearts thank the whole community. Now, is it Johan? J O N. J O H A N E S. >> How do you pronounce your name? >> Johannes. >> Uh, hi. Um, could I go and get some with you? >> Sure. >> Okay. Sorry. >> You have a a presentation? >> Uh, yeah. >> Go ahead. >> Oh, nice. While we're waiting, I'm sorry that I
007didn't remember to do this before. We have Andrew Gross, who is our fourth runner up for election. He is joining us tonight as first time board member. Thank you, Andrew. Congratulations. >> Thank you, Aziza. >> We also have with us um Bob Case. Please raise your hand. Alex and Kristen. Congratulations. I also want to say thank you for your time. This is actually last year. So, thank you for your time. And he promis All right. So, is it on? Hello. Okay. Um, so I want to share a project that Mr. Richardson and I have been working on. This is a blue food pantry. And if you've seen them around town, they're basically how they work. Anyone can put food into them, mostly non-p perishables, stuff like that. Um, also can include hygiene products and anyone
008can take stuff out at any time. So, this has been built completely from scratch by Mr. Richardson, I, and about six other volunteers who've helped us. And I'd like to thank Miss Quick, who presented this project to me. So, thank you, Miss Quick. Um, it's not fully done yet, but we're also expecting to recruit some student painters who will actually paint a mural on the front. Um, and the art for that is selected from an art competition that we did across all three schools. And we've gotten great submissions from um all from second grade to uh 11th grade. So yeah, it's pretty cool. Um, yeah, that's all I wanted to say. I just want to share this cool community project that uh has been mostly studentled with, of course, the help from some great teachers
009like Mr. Richardson and Miss Quick, thank you for your time. >> Thank you so much. Do we have any more community input for this evening? >> All right. Have a motion for tenure appointments. >> So moved. >> Second. >> Any discussion? Uh superintendent Pagaso, can you please introduce your tenure appointments? >> Yes. So our these mics are usually a louder. They're actually are being picked up by the the audio video for the um meeting on YouTube. But so if we're using them, that's why. So I would like to uh recommend to ten for tenure Jason Yan, Jodie Buchcci, Patrick Schlout, Danielle Paladino, Chelsea Becker, Megan Field, Aiden Cobb, Jennifer McCroy, Melissa Koopski, Kim Shank, France Bait, Maria McIll, Elizabeth Cuadrosi, Melissa Johnson, Cara Cino, Jake Fusili, Carrie Delis, and Kim Schwiger. >> All in favor?
010>> I >> oppose. Abstain. That par that carries 500. Congratulations. Thank you. >> Chris, do you have some other things you want to share with us this evening? >> I do. I I do. I would like to read this one uh our mission statement which says Lancing Central School District nurtures curiosity, character, empathy, cultivating engaged learners, empowered leaders and concerned citizens. And truly without quality uh administrators and faculty and staff, we cannot bring that mission to life. And our best the very best thing that we could do is bring um amazing people to our students. And we're clearly doing that tonight. I believe that fully in my heart. So, thank you. We have a few the same class leaving us here and we want to just recognize some of our retirees. Uh that's Mary Ellen
011Barber, Dan Ferguson, Francesca Garrison, Todd Howell, Karen Rediski, and Christine Rivera. uh many years of service experience, people that have carried that mission statement through their careers as well. So, thank you so much for your time in Lancing. Included Andre who's been supporting us with video when we really needed it. So, thank you Andre for your time and service. I very appreciate it. And for the first time ever, we had four students support us. uh at other events tonight, but we had Giovana Clark, Kendall Hawthorne, Ty Shodwald, and Mary Kate Quinn. And they did an exceptional job like starting this new uh practice for for Lancing and really made a huge improvement. And I hope the students see that because they did quite a bit of work for Lancing High School specifically. So, congratulations to
012them. And one of the things that NISBA does is the New York State uh school board association uh award the one of the things that they do as they work with us is award our board members uh with just award recognition of excellence for their time going to workshops being leaders and doing different things. And we have some board members tonight that they're recognizing and the first one is Matthew Hector with a level one board achievement award. Congratulations. Then we have Matt Bogamill with a level three board mastery award. In addition for Matt uh for his time on the board, we have uh a panic of landing. Thank you. And finally, we have a board lifetime achievement award for Susan Trausi. Let me see if I have anything else here. >> And what we have

So, thank you so much for your family support. It certainly uh the success of of the employee is uh really attributed to you as well. So, thank you everybody. Aziza will lead us into a break.

015>> Are we all set? Are you ready? Okay, >> Linda, do you have our report for us? Oh, wait. No, we're not there yet. Sorry, >> Chris. Do you have a report, superintendent's report? >> I do for um Kate and I. Uh I just wanted to go through uh the timeline. It's it's already June and we're we're headed towards uh graduation. So, we wanted to remind the board of some of the events that you're invited to and um if you have questions about them, certainly ask. Uh but we did after tonight's board meeting, tomorrow night is academic awards at the middle school for for high school Wednesday night. Thank you. Uh then we have spring athletic awards and that's for varsity athletes. There's a also a PTSO meeting that evening. We do not have school
016on Junth. Scholarship night is at 700 p.m. It's also for high school and the uh last day of school for students is on June 25th and th there's the last two are half days. Graduation is on June 26th and we're just going to say it's absolutely going to be at Sovis Stadium and it's at 7 pm. Board members are welcome to uh proceed with us to the with administrators to the uh the field where people are seated. We meet at 6:45 at the elementary school playground and then we will walk up from there. >> When are the moving updates? Did you put >> I did not put them on um Lori is absent today, but we'll get them out to you. if you have that, Matt. >> Elementary is Wednesday that week at 10 >>
017and then middle school >> is Tuesday. >> So, we'll get that out to you. We'll get we'll send this out to you as an email so you have it in one spot with the moving up days as well. >> So, Andrew, um usually they're not mandatory, but we are usually invited to attend as board members to the moving up and graduation ceremonies. and you tell us what time to be there and where to sit if you want to attend as a board member. >> I do want to just give a quick budget uh update. We the state did finally uh finalize the state budget. Our foundation aid increased to uh 2% instead of the 1%. Uh our UPK allotment amount per student went from 5,400 to 10,000. That's significant. Um, and there is a the
018zero emission bus mandate has been uh delayed. That was approved. So, for the foundation aid, that increase is $135,000 uh for us. Um, it's an increase of the 67 uh 67,000 from the governor's proposal, just basically doubled. And um just to be clear, we wanted to remind you that the district doesn't app increase the budget. We will just as we talked about with the board, decrease the amount that we have allotted from the fund balance. So uh that's helpful for us for moving forward. The UPK all the rules are the same. This is per student. So if you don't have the student, you don't get the allotment. And right now we have two full classrooms with four students, three maybe three or four students on the weight list. And what that means um is if
019we would only get a certain amount for that class and the rest the district would would be paying for. And we have not budgeted for that. So, right now we have two full classes, but we are doing some pretty heavy uh communication and marketing to make sure that we're capturing all of our uh potential UPK students in the in the district. So, um so that's where we're at right now with uh UPK. >> Would that mean that if you had more students, you could potentially add a third class? We would need um nine more stu nine students uh total to cut to break even on the cost of the teacher and the teacher a aid that's in the classroom >> and they have to be in district >> four years old or older. >> They
020have to be in district four-year-olds or older. Um we do send out collaboration requests all the time because that would help because we could make sure that our students are getting serviced. But the the prek program that is that we're collaborating with also has to be a full day program and they most do not want to be full days. It's beneficial for them to have two half-day programs and it seems to be that's what a lot of our families want too and are are continuing to choose that. We spoke to a lot of families that just didn't feel that their child would be ready for that full full full day, but that is a requirement of the program. And just uh just to clarify some of the zero emission bus mandate, it's been delayed by
021five years. So uh as of right now, we must start purchasing zero emission buses by 2032. And that our full fleet then would be converted within eight years. And that is works about right because it's about two buses uh for us which makes sense. I'm not we're not um positive that this might not continue to be delayed in the future. So we'll be updating you with this as we move along. >> I mean that is a win. It's huge win. But >> for different reasons, right? >> Yeah. >> I mean how does that work? I I know we can't discuss that right now, but how does that work out as far as planning for capital campaign projects to because a part of this bus um mand EV bus mandate is that we had to have
022an infrastructure to charge the buses and house the buses. So, how does that play out in building the infrastructure to house and charge the buses? We will be updating the board on our I'd say like a 10-year uh facilities plan. One of our now that we've gotten, you know, we had a a pretty big pause there because of COVID with planning and uh got right into our um the necessary things that we had to improve. And so now our goal is to go back to those $3 to5 million projects for maintenance and um and then figure out where the transportation um bus garage essentially would need to be uh put in there. So we're thinking we have one more project and then that we'd be working on the bus garage at this the next project.
023Typically it's two years of you'll do you'll put one to the community every two years although it takes a lot longer by the time that they are actually being you know construction is happening it's around every four years >> because do you remember where do you remember or do you recall where the bus garage is anyway anyway for the for the um materially for upgrade anyway is the bus garage it's ready it's next >> we were hopeful to do it now but we're waiting waiting to see what those needs are and we're waiting on some maybe local town decisions to see what is happening around with infrastructure of uh energy and uh things like that. So um there's some other extenduating circumstances that impact lancing around the town similar to when the town was putting
024in main sewer line it wasn't matching up to our >> uh you know same type of thing. So we're trying to see what what's happening there. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Is that it? >> Okay. Thank you. >> So, our students aren't with us tonight. Congratulations. Oh, Chris, you were did you mention where they're going to move? Their next plans were >> the students. Yes, we have two students going to Cornell. One uh and one student going to Itha College. And uh Giovana Clark's attending Ithaca College. Kendall Hawthorne's Cornell. Mary Kate Quinn's at Cornell and Ty Shadwell is going to be attending the College of Environmental Science and Forestry. >> And thank you very much. They they contribute to our um success. Um they helped us a lot through our hiccups this past year and
025we enjoyed their presence. So thank you much. Thank you and congratulations to all of all of them um board of education reports and professional updates. Linda, do you have anything to share today? >> Just want to point out that three of those four students were in programs >> they were. So that's a little plug for ID of next year to learn a little bit. all our students are in >> Thank you. >> I'm going to the world of us. summer program as well. We'll be in late. >> Thank you. All right. Any other board reports? Go ahead, Susan. >> Um, just a few things to update you guys. Um, we had a retreat earlier for those of you in the audience, um, where we talked about the fact that we have a a school board
026member handbook that's in draft stage. I'll be sending that out to you guys soon and working with Mark Schneider from NISBA on that um to make sure that we have those updates in place um, for the start of the school year. Um Chris mentioned from the NISBA advocacy side the bus mandate and foundation aid minimum. I just wanted to um for your information just put on your radar um the governor is going to have to make a decision about whether or not New York State signs on to um a federal tax credit program for private schools. Um NISBA is advocating against that. um as private tax credits can draw funds away from public schools. Uh please look at your NISBA information around that. Also note that the New York State Senate and the Assembly have
027passed a data center moratorum. It would be a one-year pause on new permitting for data centers. Um the governor has not yet signed that. I'm not sure where that's going to go. Um, and I raised that just for you guys. As you know, um, the town of Lancing is considering um, a data center proposal and as a school board, we are affected with it comes to things such as tax abatement, tax policy, things like that. So, just keep an eye on that. coming out of Albany. Um, as Linda mentioned, New York State School Board Association hosts their summer conference in July in Albany. I think all of us have been to it. Um, I highly recommend it for new board members. It is a smaller conference than the New York State conference and I find
028the sessions are are easier to kind of wrap your mind around. Um they're more intense but they're also smaller and there are fewer of them. So I think it's the best of both worlds. I'll send out some information to everybody about that. That's July 24th and 25th. Um, we were able to attend the new the Central New York School Board Association annual dinner. Matt and I were there to see um, Linda Compatello from Graten uh, achieve receive the school board member of achievement award from our TST region. Um, look for mental health resource trainings coming up from Central New York School Board Association. And for those of you who are new members to the board, Central New York School Board Association also offers in-person training for your first year training. I know NISBA offers it
029online as well. I highly recommend the in-person because you really get an interaction. Um, but I'll send you information about that as well. um TSTBOSIE School Board Association. We had a great presentation from Patrick Longo at NISSBA coming and talking about leadership resources which I'll share with you as well. And as Linda mentioned and um Laura mentioned, um the driving games were an unbelievable experience for all of us who went. The TST School Board Association reps from different districts in our footprint met at the games and watched our kids just have an amazing time. I highly recommend if you are able to to participate in that next year and to let you know that the TST School Board Association has plans and we're working on insinuating ourselves into the event so that we can have
030a tent and have schoolboard members there to represent members across the district. It was the highlight of a great week for me and Laura, thank you so much for all that you do and bringing our kids there. It was awesome. Really, really. And congratulations to our athletes. >> So, I'm sorry, I should have stepped back. So, this part this is the s u part of meeting that board members have the opportunity to share with each other in the community what we do outside the board table. We talk about our um subcommittees. We talk about what professional development we have engaged in. We can talk about what community engagement we have done. So, um Susan is our NISBA New York State School Board Association advocacy rep as well as our um SBA, which stands for school
031board association. >> The TST school board assoc like our local school board >> and she's the president of that board. >> I'm the vice president >> vice president of that board as well. So, she brings a great um she's a point of contact. So, she brings a lot of advocacy information to us from different boards and NISBA um RSA, Central New Central School Board, >> Central New York School Board Association >> are all lobbying lots of letters. >> Yes, they're all lobbying and professional development um groups that support us as schoolboard members. This is probably the biggest one. And we all have memberships of them. And when you become you can you you'll have we have memberships and you use your membership to um to go to different conferences and go to their websites and
032they'll come and do different professional developments with them and whatever all kinds of stuff. It's really a lot of things you can do in their websites and today we had the start of your orientation today right and right now and so um and she's the also the uh the current policy um chairperson. So that's part of what she was talking about the operations um protocol operating procedures manual set. That's what she was talking about. Got it. I kind of lost what I was saying, but that's the point of that. It's been a long day. Any questions? So you got it. All right. Do you have anything else, Matt? Did you do anything? Matt. Matt. >> Um just uh quick congratulations. I believe our uh Lancing trap team uh competed in states. I apologize if I
033mispronounced names, but Autumn Barnes, congratulations for finishing first place in females and Jackson Matus for finishing second place in the male division. Uh also, uh this past weekend, the uh Lancing Pops concert, if you were able to attend, it was it was quite a show. Um, also this upcoming uh Saturday, if you have the ability, Lancing down at Meyers Park are going to be celebrating uh 250 years of our country. So, it should be a fun day. And then that evening, if you haven't heard, Lancing Palooa uh that's going to be a Lancing studentled and run uh music performance. It's basically a concert that uh students are uh performing in and running. Uh it's going to be at Salt Point from 6 PM to close. That's it. >> All right. Reorganization meeting workshop. Chris, >>
034oh, one thing. So, this is unusual. I'm gonna we're going to do the reorganization. Um, Chris is going to lead us through a workshop. I'm going to ask Bob, Kristen, and Alec, please feel free to ask questions, interrupt, and participate in this part of the meeting. You can stay where you are, but this is going to be kind of open conversation and part of your new member orientation as well. Okay. Any questions? Thank you. Moving forward, you can email or I'm sure we'll um have a uh orientation prior to um the actual reorg as well. So, right as of right now, uh the reorg meeting is scheduled for Monday, um July 13th. So, it has to be done within the first two weeks of school. So, we'll have to make sure that's what uh why
035we schedule it then. So, we'll um what typically happens is Debbie will send that out and we'll ask if you have any conflicts and hope hope that most of us will be able to be here present >> and that's it's the first two weeks of July and that's what the new that's what the new rule the governor passed. Right. >> Correct. So you'll see there's um one is called the order, two is the pledge, three the adoption, and then four it gets into the oath. Five is appointment of board representatives. So the first one is voting delegates to NISBA. Does anybody want to explain what that might mean? Sure. Every year the New York State School Board Association holds their annual meeting during which they adopt position statements which are the lobbying positions of the
036organization and school boards are the members of the organization. Each school board sends one voting delegate to this meeting. It's an online meeting. It goes forever. It's can be like five hours, right, Linda? Like insane. >> But it's so cool. >> But it can be very cool, right? >> It is. Um they the process starts actually right now where school boards across the state are putting in resolutions which are their wish list for what they want NISBA to be working on. Those resolutions go through the diversity, equity, and inclusion committee at NISBA. They then go through the board of directors at NISBA and are either endorsed or not. Um, resolutions that are endorsed are listed as such in the program for this meeting. Those that are not endorsed are still considered by the body, but
037they don't have obviously the endorsement of the board of directors. This is basically how we as an organization instruct the professionals who work for NISBA to go and do lobbying work on our behalf. Um, I don't know what's coming up in terms of resolutions, but there have been everything from making um, Narcan available across public schools, slowing down the bus mandate >> to having access to whole milk in New York State, >> having access to whole milk in New York state schools, right? All sorts. And when you go on the NISBO website, you can look at at what those resolutions are. I've served as the delegate the past several few years. Um we usually as a team look at the resolutions. If there's significant opposition to something that the board of directors has endorsed, we
038can vote against that. Generally, we've been in favor of what they've endorsed. So, we voted accordingly, but we'll talk more about that in October. And that's what that position is. If anybody's interested in learning more about that or wants to take on that position, be happy to talk to you about it. Um, or to just learn more about it. I'm happy to >> be kind enough to also talk about the voting delegates to TST School Board Association. >> Yes. So the voting delegate to the TST School Board Association, New York State School Board Association, let me start. National School Board ass Association covers the whole nation, New York State, New York State, Central New York is a footprint that runs from Syracuse all the way down here all the way out to to uh Cenatus.
039If you know where Cenatus is, then you get extra points on this. And all the way out to us we go. So it's a pretty large footprint. Um and the TST Boseies schoolboard association covers our local school districts who are part of our Boseies. We meet once a month during the school year at TST Boseies and our primary function has been to organize advocacy efforts on behalf of local districts as well as to provide professional development that's hyper local, right? An issue that we're all struggling with. We bring in an expert superintendent. We bring in somebody from Cornell and the delegate. I've served in that role. Um goes to those meetings. They're on Friday afternoons and brings that information back to the board. We usually have a voting delegate and an alternate um and both
040of those people can go to that meeting. So um and there's always lunch and the kids from the culinary program at Boseies cook for us. Um so there's an extra incentive. So I'm happy to talk with you about that as well. >> Thank you. Uh C is board delegates to the shared decisionmaking team. There's one at each building. Is anybody want to talk about what that looks like that's been on the >> uh so we usually try to meet uh four times a year and uh it's a pretty informal meeting. It's it's really nice to uh uh get everyone together from you. There's usually one for the elementary school, one for the middle school, one for the high school, and you'll each meet in uh individually at your own school. And then uh uh stakeholders,
041parents, whoever gets invited to the meetings, and most of them are are kind of open-ended and we talk about, you know, what are the dinner table issues and, you know, how how to, you know, make things better and just kind of a go between between you know the board and and and everybody else and it's uh it's a nice informal way to to get together and see where where everyone's heads are at at the time and then you know how do we get things forward. I know a lot of times in in the high school we talked about you know postp prom and graduation and you know things like that but we also talked about um you know returning to uh sports after an injury or you know homework or things like that. Um then
042we typically have action plans and just kind of keep moving forward. >> One note on let's say everyone says I want to be on the high school shared decision any committee maximum of three people otherwise it quorum and that becomes a board meeting. >> Thanks have a quorum and a quorum is four board members. So it has to be three or less on each committee. And usually we have we have the expectation. It's usually set out how many people from the board we need on a committee and usually share the decision team. We only need one or two people to be on that particular committee. >> Next is board committee represent representatives. And um often we if we have a need we create an ad hoc uh uh committee and last year knowing uh knowing
043that there would be some significant um uh budget concerns we wanted to make sure that we had a lot of communication. So we added the ad hoc financial advisory committee. I would suggest that you continue that next year and uh through understanding of the need for advocacy and having that be strategically planned throughout the school year. I would recommend an ad hoc advocacy and uh we might be looking at and we had been continuing to look at the curriculum committee and how to make that more effective. So, we are considering um just reviewing with other school districts how they're how they're using a curriculum committee. Um right now it's more it's very active with the working committee of the for the uh with employees and um it's more would be more appropriate to be looking
044at curriculum policy and curricular practices and um how we determine how we purchase curriculum and things like that. So, here's the committee. Uh, district technology, district health advisory, that one typically is three times a year. Facilities next year starting the summer will likely be monthly because we're looking for to move forward some projects. Policy is monthly or as needed. Uh, audit is quarterly. Safety is three times per year or as needed. the professional development team that comes together when there's a need to update the professional development plan which is every two years. The curriculum committee which we'll be working through ad hoc financial advisory will start in uh around probably around December January and will be minimally monthly or at before every board meeting and the ad hoc uh advocacy uh if that if you
045move forward with that we'll have more discussion about that will be based on need and how how you guys determine that. Any questions about the committee? I mean, I guess we can I mean, we'll talk about that. Do you have something? Sorry. Okay. I know we talked about having a advoc ad hoc an advocacy committee last this current year and we didn't do that. So, I hope we can move forward with that next next year, this upcoming year. I mentioned to Chris and Aziza um sister Syracuse School District or whatever they call themselves. They have a hundred letters in their names. Um they have a yeah they have a very active legislative advocacy committee. They meet monthly and they have legislators come in. I can I will send you uh communication I have from that
046the chair of that committee so that you guys can look at it as we consider what we might want our committee to look like. It doesn't need to look that way, but um we've had some pretty significant wins with advocacy. Chris talked about, you know, that 2% >> on uh foundation aid, right? That didn't happen just because that happened because of advocacy and a lot of pressure put on the legislature and the and the governor as as well the the roll back on the dates for the um electric buses. And so this is work that is not only important but it actually it gets us somewhere and if we speak for our kids then then we can make things better for them and for our community. So I'll send that to you guys for over
047the summer. >> Okay. >> The next section is section uh section excuse me six which is appointment of the district officers. These are mostly either uh districtapp appointed uh employees. These are positions that have to be that are required by law to be um part of the reorg uh approval process. And it also would include appointments such as your school attorney, your uh insurance providers and things like that. So it's you know clear who they are. Um there are times when if we do have an internal auditor, we won't know who that might be. It's hard been hard to find certain people there. Typically, you would go out to an RFP or just to get information uh every five years. Last year we did go out for an uh just a just a information only
048for our school attorney and um the only one that we have was for it for um our current. So we would would would our recommendation is to continue with that. >> Now um >> so these names will will not be the same especially Karen Rediski as she's retiring. These are just from last year >> to go back to the request for the RFP. for the school attorney issue. Um I do not envision some of the concerns um in the manner they were presented to happen this time. But how much um um when we when we present the information for the reorg to the current upcoming board, can we provide those materials so they can see when you when you present um the reorg attorney that you want to present to us? Can you provide the
049support for that? Yeah. >> And and the in the materials RFP. So, we can say this is why we you recommend this attorney, this is why we stay with this attorney or whatever. >> Sure. So, um I'm not going to go through every one of these, but they're they're just u mandatory that we uh are are appointing PE people to the positions. >> Yeah. And then it was also the same thing with the rationale for the we don't have to go through everything but the rationale for insurance company >> we talked about that a little bit. The same thing with the newspaper why we have to have the newspaper that particular newspaper. >> Um what else was it? >> Can we read them all at once minus like one or two that >> Yeah. But
050those are the the things that came up like the we have to have a circulation newspaper that's in print. So we can't and that is not something that is something that's like law that we have to have a newspaper that is actually in print regionally. We can't just have it electronically >> and everybody will get a law book under you can have last year's we'll have extra copies or you'll get a new one and there's a whole section just on reor and it just goes through >> yeah and we'll go a little bit over this too but just to kind of because it's 8:00 it's 8:15 so just we'll go through this again but in the depository we has we can we can give a little bit more about the depositories the conversations around the
051depositories from last here we can summarize that stuff and make sure we get that for this um we bring that around. Anything else we can do? >> Yeah, like we'll we'll go through there's certain banks that just simply can't support the amount of u money that we need to have moving back and forth. So, uh we'll go through that when we get to that. This is really just to show you what's to come, >> but we'll clarify and if you have any questions, um you know, please let us know. But there won't be too much changing on here, >> right? >> Uh section A is the designations. We're just having to uh identify where the board meetings are held, the time, place, the date, uh as well as for the reorg uh meeting itself. That's
052this is where the newspaper, the depository. >> Um we made sure the credit cards also are noted. And then here's all the authorizations. And this is just around our funds and who approves. >> Yep. We always have the meeting on a second to fourth Monday unless it's a federal holiday or state or federal holiday, then it's typically the following Tuesday. Um uh uh if it's a if we have a special meeting um or have to call a special meeting, we have to have a we have to have a quorum and we have to announce the meeting and it's not going to we have to make sure people are there. So it's not going to be sprung on you. We have to make sure we have a quorum present present to have the meeting. Um the
053reorganization meeting is planned for July 13th. Um does anybody have at this point do you is is it a conflict right now? All right. Um going forward, let Debbie know. >> Um that meeting starts at six o'clock on the 13th, July 13th. Next section is official undertaking. This is for our bond for to approve and uh for and we will we are looking at increasing some of this uh which is recommended by our fiscal advisors. So uh we'll give you some information about those responsibilities. >> Okay. >> Just other items for number 11. >> Okay. We get the mileage reimbursement rate. We use the IRS. >> Okay. >> We do have a building district use billing for outside organizations rate. That's a regulation. So, that will be in there. Um, we could we'll review that
054before it comes to you if we want to change any of those things. Okay. >> We really try to make >> the district facilities accessible for families. you we do have rates given to us for non-resident tuition rate. These are rates provided by the state. Um so that would be if you allowed outside of district residents to attend lancing that would be the cost. Typically, uh, we have not allowed outside students to come in for tuition based on our, you know, we're pretty not maxed out, but we're at capacity for services and and things. And you cannot, if you allow, you allow. You can't say, "Oh, we meet we met at our capacity. You have you'd have to buy hire more teachers and and do that." If a number of people wanted to jo you
055know attend lancing that's at number 12 no open enrollment uh the sub rates will be uh listed similarly they will be increased we maintain that we're always above certainly always above uh minimum wage and that we are uh competitive within our region their fingerprinting cost. There's a every employee has to be fingerprint printed and we support some of those costs for our LSA LSSA unit. You also uh approved curriculum writing and project resolution and that kind of comes to you throughout the year but is heavy in the in the summer months and you uh will get what those hours look like uh and you know just approve the you're basically approving uh payment of those hours and then adjournment Following the reorg meeting, we will go right into a general meeting, a regular meeting of
056the board. So the other thing is um how we elect the president and vice president. The president and vice president is elected every reorg meeting and um the clerk opens the reorg meeting and then you would nominate and we vote on as a board who the president and the vice president are. And at that meeting the the person who can nominate you can nominate a person or they can nominate themselves and everybody votes on it and people have the opportunity to speak or not speak and that's just the way it works. Simple. And then that's the president or vice president for the year. Pretty simple, straightforward. We will have a board orientation between now and then and uh we'll set up that time to happen. So, we'll be able to have some question and answer
057time. >> Yeah. But like I mentioned earlier, it's going to be four new people with three veterans. So, it's going to be a lot of creativity, understanding, compassion. Um if you don't have your emails, you don't know how if you don't know how to get on to your emails, make an appointment with Debbie, come in. I think um you most of you have know how to contact um the three or four of us offline reach out to us come to the meetings this is the only meeting we have in June typically throughout the summer months we only have one meeting so um it's important that you come to the meetings if you you know um and feel free to ask questions throughout the meetings I try to say what we're doing throughout each segment um
058please feel free to ask questions but we try to stick to agenda and stay on topic But don't be afraid to ask questions. It's learn. It's going to be learning for everyone. It's going to be different for everyone. But we want to make sure we stick to the business and get through the business that we need to get to. Any more questions? And you have this, so please look at it, ask questions, send an email. Let's ask as many questions as we can before the reorg so we can make sure we can get through the reorg meeting and have your questions answered and educate you about this so we don't have a huge hiccup on what we need to get through. It's a long process and we need to do the business of the meeting.
059So we need to make sure you understand what you're voting on and what we need to appoint for this meeting. Okay. >> Yes. >> For president or vice president Um, do you have to previously ser be have served for a year on the board? I thought I came across that in one of our readings, but >> no. But this is the thing. You want to have someone to be able to lead and you want to have someone who you want to have someone who's going to be a leader. You want to have someone who understands. The board education is a lot of learning. It's a huge curve and you can do what you want. You can do what you want. The board wants to do, but it's a lot and we've been through a lot.
060and you want someone to to lead the district and be able to manage. And it's not about a status. It's about having the time and commitment outside the board to do things you need to do. You have to facilitate the meetings. You have to be the in between between the district and um the district and the board. And it's not about pride. It's not about having um a figurehead. It's really a lot of work outside the board. The board itself is about a couple hours a week, but really what you have to manage and what you understand about the board is a lot of work. >> Yeah. I think it's it's good to think of the board president and the board vice president as the administrators, right? They're really and you know I give credit
061to our pres current president and vice president carrying a a huge load for the rest of us and keeping us organized knowing all the rules doing all the extra meetings um and so >> it's a lot and so thank you to both of you. >> Oh thank you and I mean for a long time I was not a board officer because I just didn't have the time to do it. I thought I wanted to do it my first couple time years and I was like, "Oh, I don't have time for that." But I mean, it's a conversation you should have with me. If if one of someone new is thinking about it, talk to me and Matt about what we do in our off time or what we have to do when we're not sitting
062at the table. Even Susan, she's an officer and she also supports me quite a bit. So, like talk to us if you're actually considering a board officer ship. And let's, you know, and think about what it means and what you want to do. So, I'm not discouraging anybody, but like it's a lot of work. I'm happy to do it again, but if you're thinking about it, it's a lot of work. And talk to us. >> Sure. Linda's new All right, any more questions? Feel free to stay or leave, but I wanted you to be part of this discussion. Thank you so much. All right, anymore? All right, let's move on. A motion to approve consent agenda.

Every once in a while, we'll get an agreement from another school saying like, oh, you're you're they're providing the services and right is that this >> this is speech and not for our our UPK students in our school. Uh we are often this often when we will have the county could provide services or we will provide services and um we if we do not have enough service providers we have to cons uh contract out to meet the needs of the students. So this is a contract for that those services. >> All in favor? >> I oppose abstain. And that passes 500. The motion for action

Chris, do you have comment? >> I just wanted to say this. One of the uh strengths that I had talked about earlier of the district was union relationships and all unions um with the administration and this is a testament to it. Laura Davis is the president of the LSSA
069and with her membership, we had really great negotiations and came out for a win-win for our employees and the district. And I'm just really pleased that it was so such a great experience and quick one, which is always nice. So I thank you, Laura, for all you've done for your unit and for the district. >> Oh, I did that passes 5 0. So congratulations. Thank you. Have a motion to approve action item um five I approval of budget transfer. >> So moved. >> Second. discussion. >> So this is um transfers that are you know to towards the end of the year. One of the things there's two big ones. There's the dual credit the teacher salaries were in our the general fund and but the uh they're being paid through BOSEI. So we had to
070make that adjustment but we are now paying for this we have to pay for the student enrollment. So it just is it's just moving money to the right codes essentially the transfer. And the only other one that we saw was uh for an inc we had to increase our um aotment for amount for special education placements to make sure that we could cover the cost. And we typically just we put our projected amount in and then as the near the year ends near we uh make adjustments. Anyone over $50,000 we bring to the board. >> All right. All any more discussion? All in favor? >> I >> oppose. Abstain. That passes 500 Z. >> Have a motion to adjurnn. >> So moved. >> Second. >> Any more discussion? >> Congratulations, Drew, on your first board
071meeting board meeting. >> Thank you very much. >> That was beautiful. And I just wanted to um offer my sincere thank you to Matt Bogamill for all the time, effort, and especially heart that he has put into his position as a member of Lancing School Board. Um you have not nearly seen the last of us, and we are very appreciative of all of your work and your commitment to the >> district board officers for the last two years. Thank you very much. Thank you so much. >> Thank you. >> I don't need to say anything, but I'm very appreciative. Uh, and Chris, you never said to me, not once, that's not my job. Anytime I've asked something, even when ridiculous, I just appreciate everyone's willingness to always help, teachers, administrators, everyone. And yeah, probably not
072the last you've seen of me, but get a few extra Mondays at home now. >> Well deserved. >> Thank you, Matt. Um, I think that's it. We'll see everybody in July, but really at graduation. Thank you. Have a good night. All in favor? I >> oppose are saying staying. Have a good night.
