Mr. Hancock, members of the board, Dr. Since then, um I got caught up. We'll finish off this
002school year on a high note. So, we've missed out on April student of the month. Um Kenneth Kenny Evans. He was nominated by Mr. Benson there at Guthri Upper Elementary. um this kid talking about a kid and I I don't there I I question on how to say this but he was testing on the day that uh we did this and um they said we want you to know that he takes his testing very serious and uh so we were there and they said he's rereading his questions he he'll be here in a second. So you know um many good things were said about uh Kenny and his uh nomination. So, uh, again, Kenny Evans from guest was our April student of the month. Our May student of the month is Jerick Barter. Um, he
003was nominated by Mr. and his uh technical students association uh program, uh, Mr. doesn't even have him in class, but of all the things that he does and working with TSA and so forth and being uh being a big person to get other kids involved, he really felt like he uh he deserved this. So, our May student of the month would be Jerk Barter at the junior high. Our May support employee of the month, uh Amy Hurley. Amy is a custodian at Fogerty. Uh Deanna Davenport is the who nominated her. It was great to trying to get her to get down there. Um it was kindergarten uh picnic outside and uh we kind of played the old kindergarter got ate too much, got sick on the floor, you know, so she was uh surprised whenever
004she came in to uh to receive the award for May support employee. And then our bay certified employee, uh, Miss Aaron Harbin. Uh, she was nominated by two different people, um, Emily Carter and Mr. Warren Phil. Uh, you know, and in in her letter or in their letters, both of them talked about the money that, uh, she has found through grants and things like that, bringing, I believe it's $40,000, over $40,000 to, uh, Charter Oak for different things, which I mean, y'all approved some things. So, um, Wanted to say congratulations to our May certified employee of the month, Miss Aaron Harton. Great. That'll be it. Thanks. Thank you. Agenda item number seven, presentation of state champion wrestler. Coach Davenport. Coach Davenport, thank you for having us today. Uh, first want to say thank you to
005you guys for everything that you guys do. Thank you for everything you guys do as well. You guys do a lot for the school. I really appreciate everything you guys do. This right here is Bryson Hall. He is a senior this year. He's our new member to the state championship board. His uh he went 46 and0 this year. Is the first undefeated wrestler on the boy side in Guthrie. Well, sorry, second undefeated wrestler outside of Papa Pierce. And he was able to beat Coach Pierce's record for the best record in Guthri history this year to being 46 and0. Uh, I'll say this guy earned every single bit of it. We wrestled a very tough competition. He wrestled every single top dude in every single class outside of one kid. So, when it came to number
006two to number five in every single class, he went out there and beat him and we only missed one. And that's a a kid up in 6A that we tried to hunt down. We were weren't able to find him, but hunt him down. I tell you, I put him through the ringer and he had to go earn every single bit of that record. I mean, he buzzed his butt from the day one of last year's state tournament. He went every every day in the summer, went to work, and he said, "Coach, my goal is to be undefeated state champ." I kind of was like, "Oh, brother, let's just let's just focus on winning right now. Let's not let's get the undefeated thing out." And then, I mean, he just went out there and grinded every
007single day. That thing became reality. And he just kept on pushing. And I mean, one of the hardest, one of the best work workers in the room, great leader. I mean, I'll be honest, I can't have a a better guy to represent the Guth wrestling program than Bryson Hall right here. It's fantastic to have him. Very nice. Congratulations. Thank you. I I was going to mention too, uh, watching him for two consecutive nights fight monumental nose bleeds. to finish the way he finished was a true great representation of our school district. And thank you for your sacrifice for doing that because uh that was uh that that finals was was an epic deal. Kind of nervous. Yeah, it kind of goes full circle. It's kind of a funny story. Bryson's very first tournament in in
008high school. We're at Blanchard and I have to tape his nose. Yeah. And then now his very last tournament in high school have to tape his nose. I was like, there's no way we went three years not having to do it. Now in the state finals, we're a minute away from losing because he's about to bleed out on the mat. We have to take that thing up and has to go and get the job done. So, well, congratulations. Appreciate the way you represented our our school district. Absolutely. Thank you. Good job, man. We have one more guy that wasn't here, uh Kaden. He's slinging tacos right now. Uh he he works every single day. He's a hardworking kid, but he is the very first three-time state champion in Guth history. So, both these guys came
009out this year and made history for this school, and I couldn't be proud for the hard work that they put in. Kayen Herendy. Yeah. All right. Very nice, coach. Appreciate all you're doing for us as well. Great job, guys. Thank you. [Applause] You can stay or you can go. You have to tell them twice. Uh, okay. Agenda item number eight, comments to the board by citizens registered to speak. We have none comments to the board by board members. Okay. Agenda item number nine, superintendent report. Got a few things going on. Um, got some uh got some good news I wanted to share with the board. Um the we have received a playground donation uh for codel in the amount of $53,640 by an anonymous donor. And that is the cost of artificial turf inside the
010play area. And so uh very exciting uh thing for them and we're uh very appreciative of that. and I see the other elementary principles out there with looks on their face and I'm I'm just going to look away. Um we we received um you know with the passing of Mike Monahan who uh was uh really had had kind of become an institution in this community with the Guthri news leader and and his coverage of of civic events uh athletic events and school board. Um, I was unable to attend the services, but I did attend the uh the visitation. And while I was there, I uh got to meet his brother Tom. And uh during that conversation, he uh indicated that Mike had a desire uh for uh he had a camera collection and it was
011cameras that he used to cover the games and things like that. And it was of um it it had monetary value. And Tom mentioned to me his uh desire to uh liquidate that camera collection and he wanted the proceeds to go to a program at Guthrie High School. And so um I suggested that that go toward our journalism department. And I couldn't think of a better place for it. And so, uh, we have received that donation as well. And very appreciative of of, uh, the the Monahan family, but also, uh, very appreciative of the legacy that Mike, uh, left in our community. And so, uh, we we truly, uh, appreciate all of the things that he's done for our community and he continued to give back to our kids. So, uh, this week, hang on,

014legislative session along with um the uh administrative council has been talking about that as well and that uh is focused on Senate Bill 139. It was recently signed into law and it will require the district to adopt a policy prohibiting student use of cell phones and personal electronic devices such as smartwatches or smart glasses from the start of the school day until the end. Exceptions may be made for emergencies or to monitor health issues. and our attorneys have begun work on the policy for the board review prior to adoption and this must go into effect for the 2025 2026 school year. Uh I've already talked with our attorneys about u getting them mobilized u throughout the legislative session uh to have something crafted uh that we can have for a first reading and we hope
015to have that for the June board meeting and then for approval um in the next board meeting. So, uh, that's the report I have tonight. Thank you, Dr. Simpson.

And then we look if there are things that we can buy off a buy board, we we do that and it's already been bid out.

Agenda item 13D, recommendation, consideration, and action upon amendment to renew agreement with Clearwater Enterprises for the purchase of third-party natural gas for 2025 2026. For many years, we've had uh a relationship with Clearwater. And if you buy in large enough quantities your natural gas, you can get a better uh price from them than you can from Oklahoma Natural Gas. And we still pay OMG for the transportation and delivery costs. and uh would uh would recommend approval and renewal of this agreement. Madam President, I move that we uh approve the renewal agreement with Clearwater Enterprises for the purchase of third party natural gas for 2025 2026. Second. We have a motion and a second. Any discussion? Roll call, please. Gerard,
021yes. Husky, yes. Flag, yes. Pearson, yes. Sher, yes. Davis, yes. Yes. Smmedley. Yes. 7 Z.

And uh we this is something that we have to do in order to get the year started and before our budget is approved. Would recommend approval. Do I have a motion? Madam President, I move that we approve the temporary appropriations for 202526 for general fund, the building fund, the child

Agenda item 13F, recommendation, consideration and action upon agreement with Alcohol and Drug Testing, Inc. for student drug testing services for 2025 2026. This is a a renewal of our agreement. Is that this is a renewal, correct? For the second year that we've used them, Mr. Hancock. Okay. Uh for uh alcohol and drug uh screenings for both our students and extracurricular activities and our bus drivers. uh would recommend approval. Madame President, I move that we approve the agreement with Alcohol and Drug Testing, Inc. for drug student drug testing services for 2025 2026. Second. We have a motion
023and a second. Any discussion? Roll call, please. Gerard, yes. Husky, yes. Flag, yes. Pearson, yes. Schroeder, yes. Davis, yes. Smmedley, yes. 790 N. Agenda item 13G, recommendation, consideration, and action upon student substitute staff placement agreement with ESS South Central LLC. We uh we bring this agreement to you and this is a new agreement. Um we have uh we have had a growing problem of being able to staff uh sub with substitutes substitute teachers and we are look we have looked for other options to try and increase our percentage. There are times that that staffing is at 50% or less. And the solution has been teachers uh at the elementary level that are taking on extra classes or at the secondary level that is that has been uh students that are in either the auditorium at
024the junior high or at the high school uh in the cafeteria. and we want to try to do something to improve our fill rate. And so we uh reached out to this company and they have u 11 schools in the state. How many was it? Okay. Uh that already have a relationship with them. And I reached out to those other schools and uh they they said that they did improve their rate uh and they they set uh goals for improvement of that rate and bring them along. And we had u members of their staff that were in our committee meeting to answer to answer questions from either um and then also before that Mr. Hancock and uh um Dr. Chapel and I met with them on uh how this all works too. And so uh
025the people that are substituting for us now can will can be retained and they would become employees of ESS. They would not lose any of their salary and they would actually have an increase in benefits. They uh they would have the option of purchasing health insurance. um and the option of participation in a 401k. And the other thing that is uh because you know you want to ask what's different about this than what we're doing. Um they pay on a weekly basis and that's not something that we are set up to do. And so with all of these uh nuances, they also have an aggressive recruiting uh plan. And actually uh they have they have committed to begin recruiting on substitute teachers uh this summer early in the summer so that we can enter into
026the school year with more substitutes on our roles than what we have right now. they will also train them. And the way it has worked uh with us is we train a bunch at the start of the year and if you miss that training, you really don't get much for throughout the year if you come on board after that. And so this is a situation where it is an ongoing process. If you onboard somebody, they must go through the training before uh before they would start with us. and they can u they can expedite that in a in a very quick fashion if need be. But they and and if we have an issue with the substitute teacher uh they will address that with the staff member and u so so that's I bring this
027to you because I think that it's an opportunity for us to improve what we're doing. My concern has been, especially at the secondary level, but also at the elementary level, our building leaders cannot um lead their buildings if they're in the auditorium or the cafeteria babysitting kids that are not getting the instruction that they could even with in a in a regular classroom with a sub. And so, um, this is something that this is a one-year agreement. uh try it and see if it uh see if it improves our uh fill rate and see if it does not alleviate some of the challenges that we've been faced with. So, do we like provide this company with information about our schools like the locations of things and so because I know a lot of times when
028substitute teachers walk in there they don't have a clue. Yeah, we go to the bathroom go anywhere. Part of and that's a great question Jana. Part of the thing is there are part of this training is Oklahoma specific for the OK for the laws of Oklahoma and then part of the training is Guthrie specific for the things that we have the nuances that our district has and the nuances that each building has, you know. Yeah. Where's the where's the uh teachers lounge? Where's where's the cafeteria? Where do I walk the kids? All of those things. Um, and it's what we've seen at times is substitutes that are onboarded without the training. Um, they do it one or two times and then they don't want to do it again because they feel like they were just
029thrown in with with nothing and and I think at times they have been. And so we want to try to alleviate that. This takes uh the payroll of the substitute teachers off of our staff. It takes the assignments off of our staff and they we give ESS access to our um the the front line, which is where they log in if a teacher is going to be gone for attendance, they they log in to let them know they're going to be gone. And that's how these substitutes are assigned. they will have access to that as well so they can assign the substitute teachers. I assume they'll do all the screening background checks that we require. Yeah, they do the background checks and they they do an interview of the of the substitute before beforehand as
030well. That's all part of their onboarding process. And I want to I want to make make it clear that the people that the people that have been loyal to us are going to get paid the same amount as what they've had. They'll get paid quicker and they'll have an opportunity for some additional benefits that we're not prepared. We we're not equipped to offer. It's worth a try. Yeah. Yeah. I think I think a year is good. Well, in presentation, she she presented it as she was able to to bring our percentages up tremendously within a year or two. Yeah. And it it's not going to happen. We know it's not going to happen at 100% overnight, right? But but and and I've been upfront with both committees and I think I I need to say
031it here. This will this will cost the district money because right now if we don't have a sub filled, we're not paying a sub to teach him. But the problem with that is they're not getting the education they need and the principles are not able to be in the classrooms or dealing with things in their office and things like that because they are um busy supervising the kids during the day. Madam President, I make a motion to approve the substitute staff placement agreement with ESS South Central LLC. Second. We have a motion and a second. Any discussion? I would mention um the districts that use them that come to mind. Uh, Chalkaw, Shaunie, Jinx, Bixby, Sepulpa, um, Prior, I think I saw Prior and Len. Yeah, those are the ones that come to mind right
032now. So, we and and I know people in those districts to have. So, I've tried to do our due diligence on our part as well. Well, and I I would hope too that this brings a level of I don't know if comfort's the right word to our teachers that knowing that, you know, if they are going to have to step away from the classroom for a day that they've got somebody that's more equipped to handle the classroom situation while they're out of the while they're out. So, I would hope that that helps improve that. Yeah. Okay. I guess we can go ahead and roll call, please. Gerard. Yes. Husky. Yes. Flag. Yes. Pearson. Yes. Schroeder. Yes. Davis. Yes. Smmedley. Yes. Seven I zero names. Agenda item 13H. Recommendation, consideration, and action upon agreement with Oklahoma
033State Department of Education for the 25 summer food service program. We uh bring this to you on an annual basis so that we can provide uh uh summertime feeding to uh students, any anyone. and they don't have to be enrolled with us that are uh up to uh 19 under 19. Is it is that right Michelle? So up to 18. Um and uh we've obviously we've done this for a number of years. We did this through COVID. Some of the rules have changed, gone back and forth a few different ways, but we're we're working to get this out to kids in different places in the in our community as well. Do we have a motion? Madam President, I move that we approve the agreement with Oklahoma State Department of Education for the 2025 summer food
034service program. Second. We have a motion and a second. Any discussion? Phone call, please. Gerard, yes. Husky, yes. Flag, yes. Pearson, yes. Schroeder, yes. Davis, yes. Smidley, yes. Seven zero ns. Agenda item 13 I recommendation consideration and action to accept each bid as listed for lawn services for Guthrie public schools for 2025 2026. You see the bid tabulation on page 80 of your board packet. Uh we had one uh firm that uh bid and that was Hudson Lawn Care. Uh we also had one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, seven others that chose not to bid. So, uh, recommend that we accept Hudson lawn care. Can I ask a question? Why is it, and we've seen this before, but why is it that we have trouble getting biders? And I have nothing against Tudson, but
035competitive bidding makes makes the process, you know, better sometimes. Cody, why why are we I mean, and we've seen this in the past when we went to approve this that they're the only bidder. I mean, are they are they bidding so low it's just not lucrative for anybody else to participate or right here outside schools and they still $3,300 a month and that is four You know, Ronnie, the other the other thing that I've I don't know that I can quantify this, but we have the the people that mow in town have a fixed amount of labor available to them and they have uh properties that they have traditionally had as clients and they know they're going to have those clients next year and the next year. and staffing for it if you don't know
036you're going to get the bid makes it um more of a challenge I think for for our local people. And so, you know, there was a time that we didn't even bid this out, but we re revamped years ago some of our procurement policies and it it's required to bid it out by board policy now. And uh but it I think that's what we've seen is if they don't know whether or not they're going to get it, I don't think they want to touch it because you know they're already mowing now and and they already have the staff they've got and finding more that that you don't have to transport from somewhere else that that increases your cost uh becomes a real challenge. So it's great question. I I I I I would love to
037see this full of other bids, but um but I to Cody's point too, keeping this if we were to take this inhouse u it might be challenging to quantify, but I think we would be paying more and we would definitely have a an upfront cost for equipment that are uh trust me as you know prohibitive costs because you you work in in equipment that not maybe not a lot of mowers but you have farm equipment. No, I don't I don't I don't have any issues with his bid. I mean, it's very competitive and he does a good job. Yeah. You know, and and the other thing because I've been in districts where we took where we had it in in house. The worst is if you have a wet August because you're starting school and
038no school looks good on the outside because all the people that you've got on your mowing crew have been pulled to move furniture and move get teachers set up and everything else and so the mowing goes by the wayside and you start school and it and it does not look good and and we've not ever had that. So, okay. Do we have a motion? I make a motion that we um accept each bid as listed for lawn services for Guthrie public schools 2025 2026. Second. We have a motion and a second. Any further discussion? Roll call, please. Yes. Husky, yes. Flag, yes. Pearson, yes. Schroeder, yes. Davis, yes. Smley, yes. 790 n. Agenda item 13J, recommendation, consideration, and action upon elementary student handbook for 2025 2026. Pages 81 to 109 are where you can find
039that handbook. And I I should have mentioned earlier uh we've got our elementary principles here except for Miss Todd because she is off watching her son at the state golf tournament. And I I gave her I gave her a pass. So, if if you have any questions on the changes that are noted in here or any other concerns, we've got everyone in here to to try and uh answer those concerns or questions. I move we approve the elementary student handbook for 2025 26. Second. We have a motion and a second. Any discussion? Roll call, please. Gerard, yes. Husky, yes. Flag, yes. Pearson, yes. Sher, yes. Davis, yes. Medley, yes. 790. Let me preface this also. I'm sorry. Oh, you're fine. Uh, that we might have to go back and revisit these because of the cell
040phone. I thought about that bill, but we want to go ahead and get these changes done so that the changes that we're looking at for when when we get the policy and everything else is is a lot more minor, too. So yeah, I guess it agenda item 13K, recommendation, consideration, and action upon Guthri upper elementary student handbook for 2025 2026.

Madame President, I make a motion to approve the Guthrie High School course description handbook for 2025 2026. Second. We have a motion and a second. Uh any discussion? I do have a question related to all of us together.
