I live at 606 West Downey, child in Sequoia um prek and Cherokee Elementary. So, it is exciting for me to be here. Um it's also exciting to be um representing the chamber today. So, I'm the president CEO down at the Chamber of Commerce and a couple of months ago, we were able to hear from staff of the school district and hear some of the exciting things that you guys have planned for the upcoming bond issue. and we had some good conversation with Tanya and her staff and the board decided unanimously to support this um bond issue. And so
004we are excited to be the voice in the community to push this along to kind of help um make sure I know that you guys have some restrictions that you can't say vote yes. You can ask people to go vote, help them get registered to vote and be ready to vote, but you can ask them uh tell them which way to vote. Thankfully, I can. Um, and I am happy to be able to go out in the community with the full support of my board um, which represents over 380 businesses in this community um, to vote say vote yes for this school board uh, for this bond package um, and to get that passed. So um, I hope we sent in a press release to the Talqua Daily Press. Um, they were able to run
005that and and help us start spreading the word that the Talqua Area Chamber of Commerce supports you guys, supports education in this community. And so it is an honor and a privilege to to be able to do that. Um we're working with Tanya on potential opportunities to get the word out there. I know that we're um got some opportunities for social media. Um we just signed a partnership on a billboard. So we're going to be putting that up on the billboard um by Walmart to vote yes and all of our things will say vote yes. Um and that is something that I hope that uh the community hears and we can help drive that support home. Um, while I have you guys for just a second, I also wanted to bring up a couple of
006things that the chamber's doing. Um, just because it's exciting. Um, so this is our we usually do the town public schools back to school breakfast. Um, this will be the fifth time I fourth time I believe that we've done this one. We're still going to do that as normal. Um, we are going to have vendors set up. They're going to be giving away some free stuff that morning. We're going to have some breakfast. We're going to have some coffee. Um we're gonna do with this year we're gonna do minute to win it. That was a hit um two or three years ago when we got to do that and so we're gonna do some more games. Um this year we're going to be doing a lot of door prizes like normally but um I was
007just talking to the end. She serves on our education committee and >> advanced. >> That's right. She was admitted to win it and we told her that uh she needs to come back. >> But um I just wanted to kind of give you guys a little bit of a preview. We are going to be giving away um I would say over $5,000 in door prizes this year. Um we have had multiple businesses step up and want to donate $500 gift cards for us to give away at this. >> Wow. >> And so if your teachers aren't there, you must be present to win at the back school breakfast. Um if they're not there, they're they're going to be missing out on a lot of opportunities. So make sure that they're there. Um and I say
008teachers, it's for the whole staff. We want to support and show the full education um staff support. Um I know I usually get up and speak at this event and have some opportunities to talk about the cafeteria workers that that were an impact on me, the the bus driver, the a teacher. Um they all played a role and a lot of times they feel like maybe they're forgotten from the community standpoint, but they're not. Um and we want them to feel that love and support. This year, first time ever, u we're doing our education expo. Um, we are the Talqua Area Chamber of Commerce and we wanted to show that to area schools as well. And so we are doing a Cherokee County Education. So every education institution in the county gets to come to
009this event. I will say um those people that donated $500 to go to the back to school breakfast. Those same people have also donated $500 gift cards to go to the education expo. So we will be giving away almost as much um to education staff at the education expo. We are so excited about this. Um, we've been asking and the community has supported. So, I'll end it there. >> July 26th, stop the bus. Come and get teacher supplies at Walmart. >> It tried to talk fast. >> What was your last statement? What did you say? >> July 26th, we're doing stuff the bus with teacher supplies at Walmart. So, help us spread the word this Saturday collecting supplies. We're going to be giving those away at the education expo to the staff that comes. >>
010And where is the education expo? >> Says it center. >> Yes. We've got a lot of vendors, a lot of booths that will be set up giving away free stuff and so we had to get a a big venue. >> Does it begin at 4? >> 4 to 6 p.m. And it's come and go. You don't have to be present to win the door prizes. Just put your name in the hat and you can win a door prize >> which include $500. who >> NSU >> they're a sponsor. >> Okay. >> And we're also inviting them to come too as at to the education expo because they're doing education as well and we wanted to show them support too. >> Okay. >> That's great. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> The support they're giving >>
011DPS. I started with my girls being there because it means a lot to me. >> Thank you. Appreciate it. >> May I wear a necklace that says yes? [Music] Well, thank you very much. Um, item C, discussion and vote to approve the minutes from previous meetings. One is the June 24th regular meeting, the other July uh 25th special meeting. Do I have a motion? All right. Second. Any discussion? M. Nemo. I >> Mrs. Crawford. And I >> item D, deputy treasurer to report and discussion and vote to approve the monthly financial reports. I'm kind of excited about me, too. >> So, we ended um June 30. Our bank balance was 20,738,33989. Receipts that came in the general fund the month of June were $3,640,350.50. Building fund was $558,89843. Sinking fund was $40,1274. That left our
012general fund balance at 8,31,642.98. Building fund 7,280,5452. Bond fund $762,578. Syncing fund $632,57057. activity funds at the end of June were $1,65,652.19. Our electric last June to this June was $3,411 less, which is good. >> Wow. Amazing. >> Our water though was uh $4,387,000 more. Brad is supposed to be checking on >> I think we have a link between transportation and the ball fields. We don't know where. It's not something that's coming up. So, we going to have to employ someone to help us do leak detection without digging up an entire field worth of pipe um to figure out where the leak is. >> And then gas was $426 more also. As you all noticed, our balances were significantly uh higher than they were last year and um that was purposeful uh for a lot
013and then uh some of it was just a blessing and because revenues overlected. Um, so when we put a budget in at the beginning of the year, you put in what you think uh what the treasurer thinks they will collect, the motor vehicle tax will collect, what local county bill uh poor mill would collect, and so on. Um, but sometimes they overcolct, sometimes they underolct, but we had quite a few this year that overcollected enough that it put us um up higher than we anticipated um at the end, which is a true blessing in disguise. or I'll just say you know me well I'm okay to say divine intervention um because at the exact same time that that type of u u funding comes in um we have had a lack of funding that is
014very possible for many programs for the next year um we have been told to plan without many allocations spec specifically title to a uh which is instructional support, title three which is e support, title four which is student support, title five which is realistic which is rural income. Um then first 21st century grant was on the table and a which is our adult education and financial uh family literacy program. Those are all programs that the money has been withheld so far. Um we did find out in the last few days that the 21st century money for after school program that we had already re that the grant we already had um has been released. So we will get that money for our year four of the five-year grant. Um what we don't know still is
015that uh the application we have sitting there trying to get another grant for Greenwood and Heritage again which is very needed um as we found out today they have not even been read yet and normally they are uh allocated the grants are given the last week of July. So they are unsure whether or not that money will be there. um all of the money that I just mentioned um it it was very close to uh $900,000. Um obviously getting the 21st century money back in the till helped a lot but um we are over what we anticipated or even planned for and we ended up having $500,000 right now being withheld. Um and the fact that Lacy had a conversation with someone and our federal grants um today and uh they will not go on
016record as to whether or not we will get our our allocations in uh uh in on October one for those grants. So grants that we already have funded like innovative literacy grant through the US department of education. You know we have department of justice grants, we have department of ed grants, we have uh sama mental health grants. Those are all federally funded grants. Um, and they are very unsure right now whether or not they're going to get that next year allocation. Um, so there could not have been a better time for us to have a large carryover because we are very uncertain as to whether those millions of dollars will come in. And um even if the money does come in, I think some of it will come in very late, which means we have
017to pay all those people upfront and then hopefully eventually be able to go back and claim the money and get reimbursed. But to be able to do that, you have to have the money in the bank to pay to make payroll. And we're very happy to say that we will not have a problem with that this year. Um, we've also heard things about child nutrition and lunches being funded by districts. Fortunately for us in our district, we are C, which does, you know, it's kids eat free. Again, not free to the district, but kids do eat free. But, um, I had mentioned to a couple of you that I I did get an email for the first time this summer when we had put a claim in for the child nutrition reimbursement that said, "We
018didn't get our money, so you don't get your money this week." um that we eventually got it, but that's the first time we've ever received an email like that. So, even though we have that federal program, um I worry that that money could be held um at any any time as well. So, we will um even in the absence of that federal funding, we would make it um we would have to make significant changes the next year if they truly withhold all this money and don't put it back into public education and kids. But we are in a very comfortable place to ride out this weirdness that is going on right now um with public education and funding. So, thank you Sabrina for doing such a wonderful job of tracking that and keeping up with
019that. Um, and we did learn that and she already tracked the revenue sources. We tracked the budget. We didn't necessarily marry the two on a normal basis. We'll do that a little bit more uh uh frequently next year. That way, we have a better idea, but blessing in disguise, we'll take it. Well, and overall have to thank the entire administrative staff and the board of educ all of you for the last few years. You have been looking so closely at the budget and saving where we could, you know, if it was $150 somewhere that could be shaved off and brought in. and and we've been working or you all have been working on building this carryover fund to get it in a secure position. And I I really appreciate it. It didn't just happen. I
020guess what I want to say to the public at large. This is has involved a tremendous amount of very careful monitoring and working with our budget with this group and I really appreciate it. I have a quick question on the so the the surplus that we collected from um state taxes and those types of things and that's all that's all general fund and that can be used for anything instructional. >> Okay. >> Are there any of these grants that we are not sure of yet that are not instructional? >> I would think all of it might be considered instructional. Yes, every I I would every one that we do has has an instructional component of it. Um we tend to write grants for staff for services for kids um and not stuff. Um and so
021most of it is tied up in salary. >> Nothing else anyone else Oh, I don't think we I move to approve. Anyone make a motion? >> No. Second. All right. Sorry about that. I guess now would be the discussion. >> Hi, >> Dr. Hi, >> Mrs. E principal director report child nutrition and we have Lacy Wilson is heightened here. She is not in here. She is going with her husband to see some sick family. So, they are on their way. And I'm glad Robert has been going had me panic for this much because I didn't confirm with him. Um I know we just talked about child nutrition just two two months ago. Um so I don't want to bore you with the same information, but I want to quickly go through to remind you that
022we are a C school. That means our kids get to eat for free. Doesn't mean that is free to us. And we'll go through that again in just a moment. Um, go ahead, Robert. What counts as a re what what I wanted to remind this public is that a kiddo cannot just come through and grab a milk for free. They have to get the whole meal. So, just remind um students and families that they do have to get the whole meal. It has to be a reimburseable meal in order for um it to count. They can definitely pay for a milk or pay for anything extra, but it just wouldn't be that free component. Okay, one more. This we went over these numbers last um last month, but I wanted to just go back over
023them just very briefly that most schools did bump up about 10% um for breakfast. middle school and high school, not so much, but we definitely know that's where our work is cut out for us and that's where we're going to focus our energy again this next year. Um, okay. This is the slide that remember I had just kind of told you about briefly um last month and I thought I'm going to go ahead and put that on paper with you so that you can see it a little bit better. Um, and let me just talk for just a minute. So there is some talk about C going to where you have to be 60% direct certifying in order to be a C school. We land right now at 53.98. So if Trump goes that route
024where you have to be 60% we would not qualify at the moment. What we could do is work with families and make sure everyone in our community that qualifies for SNAP benefits is has applied and is part of that. But I can't make any promises that we would make it to that 60%. So right now you only have to be 25%. It was 40 and then when it went to 25% we jumped on it. We we're like, okay, because we kept being on that line where we would maybe qualify, maybe not. So anyway, I just want to tell you that if it does go to the 60%, we would not be able to continue it. We would definitely well, I would hope we would have a little bit of notice where we would be able
025to tell our families, you know. >> So, so we are 53.98 right now. That just means that's how many families are direct certified to get their information. They don't have to fill out a form, anything like that. And then you multiply it by 1.6. Why 1.6? I have no idea. It's just the formula. And that's where we get our 86.38% is what we get reimbursed from the federal government as free. But then that 13.62 62 is what we get reimbursed as a as a paid. So that's why it's not completely paid for. And you can see the numbers there. Um so for every and I just broke it down in 100 just because it's easier to talk about. We can use any number you guys would want to use. But um for every 86 kids
026that come through the line, we get $2.84 for them. But the other 14 we only get 39 cents. So that's how so and that's why I push breakfast so much because and once again we're not going to make a profit and you'll see when we get to the last slide what I mean by that. So save your tomatoes for me because you're going to want to throw them at me at the end. But that's why I really am talking you through this so you know and for every hundred meals at lunch our profit is $9.86 supper meal and and the reason supper is so high is because we're an at risk school. We're an atrisisk school. So we actually get all hundred students fully reimbursed. Well, you can't push the summer program with every I
027mean the supper program with everyone because they have to be uh enrolled in Boys and Girls Club. So, um that's why I definitely want to push it for the kids that are there, but you can't just go give supper to every kid. I wish we could. Every kid going on the bus. Believe me, I thought about it. Mama told me no. >> And they have to be at school. They have to be in that school because remember I was trying to send it with them for all of my sports, my athletics. And Mona, which was wonderful. She was here for 3 weeks. I got to know her very well. >> She said, "I love the way you're thinking, but they happen to be on property." And I said, "But the buses aren't property." She said,
028"Lacy, you're pushing it." I said, "All right." So, um, she did understand what we were trying to do, though. own the buses that are we own and not just the >> way I mean I'm willing for someone else to ask you know to talk to her but um I think that is why I push breakfast so much I certainly want every kid to eat lunch don't misunderstand when I'm talking numbers and stuff but um just want you to understand that that's where maybe we would get reimbursed a little more okay so Let's go on through. Chartwells. We just hired a new chef. I say we. I feel like I work with Chartwells, too. As much as they are a different company, I've grown to really love them and just bring them into my little child
029nutrition family, I guess. So, our new um chef is named Chef Mark. I personally haven't met him yet except for on Zoom when I help interview him. And so I'm hoping that he brings something to the table. They have some different ideas. I'm excited to hear about their sports nutrition program because we know that kiddos in sports um sometimes need to eat a little differently game days and that type of thing. So I'm not exactly sure what all of this is. I just got it from Chef Jean, which is now the director. Um and so she has lots of ideas. Okay, next slide. So these are our June numbers and we are serving in July this year. Not summer school but our non- congregate meals which are garden walk and Fox. We served a lot
030of meals uh at garden and it has been quite a um effort. I cannot take any credit for this. It has been a true team. We've had four bands every Wednesday meet at 10:30. The maintenance department has had some guys help. The Mormon church has sent some workers because Jean it's her church and so she sent some of her people that go to her church and they have loaded all of these meals and it's car helped. It It's a lot. >> Oh, I never worked so hard in all my life. It sounds so easy like, "Yeah, we're delivering meals to Fox and Garden Walk." Well, it's hard work. And we have like six people at um Fox and we have about four at Garden Walk and they carry their wagons and they help the f
031because sometimes families will send their kids to go pick it up. Well, it's five breakfast and five lunch per kid. And so the little kids are carrying it. Sabrina, the last time she went, she's like, "I'm taking my uh sports wagon." So, she took her sports wagon and helped the kids get back to the house. So, it's quite a uh it's a lot of our social workers have been helping with that. Um just a lot of our staff members, people in this office, and very appreciative of that. So, couldn't couldn't do it alone. There's no way. >> Is that still happening, Lacy? It is two uh so tomorrow and then one more Wednesday. So I'm I'm excited that we're able to do it all summer. >> The chamber could call for volunteers. >> I know
032we may do that next year because >> there's lots of I think there's lots of organizations in town if they on one day at this time if they knew ahead of time and you say can you get us 10 people here? How many that we could get volunteers to? >> And they probably would really enjoy it. Yeah. because it really is really neat um that families can just drive through and they're able to take that for their families. So >> kids who need service points in high school that honor society obviously. Yeah. >> I can definitely share my Google sheet next year because >> I think you did. I mean and that would be a wonderful >> for all of the above >> for everything. But >> yeah, >> I know that >> the top
033when you do it. >> You do feel good when you do it. And there's no way we could do it alone. There's just truly no way we could. And so it's kind of win-win. I like that idea. I'll do that. Okay. This is where things get, >> you know, I >> You can do it later. >> I know. I told you I was going to do my very best at the beginning of the year and that's all I can do. And I feel like true transparency is where it's at. And so um our revenue 2,665,000 um expenditures were more than that. I do want you to remember we fed every kid breakfast and lunch. I know I keep coming back to that. I told Tammy that the other day because she said, "Wait, you didn't
034break even?" And I said, "No, but I fed every kid breakfast and lunch. That's a lot of money, you guys." And um I do know that we are down. Now here's the good news. We had carryover. So in the child nutrition world, we had carryover and that can only be used for child nutrition things. It's kind of lumped into the general fund, but this pot is only for child nutrition. So now my carryover fund is only 707,000. So, I did have to dip into there a little bit. Um, but if you'll go to the next slide, I really want to break it down for you. And I don't know if you guys can see this or not, but the biggest piece of I just want you to know that we pay utilities, we pay pest
035control, we pay repairs. I think I have parts and supplies on there. We have a little insurance. Um the conference and training, Victoria and Heidi went to Stillwater to um a conference over there for a few days. The equipment, well, this is the something I want to talk to you about right here. The equipment there is really not that high this year. Thank you. It's only $23,640. And I think we got a pizza oven. We got some new plates, but I do have a freezer. It's kind of glitching and a freezer is about 55,000. So, if my equipment is higher next year, just know why. >> Um, but that commodity buyback and that processing that was when Sedexo left. So they own the food and when they left we bought it back from them and
036then we traded it out with char. So that's what that big amount is. So >> is that a one time? We wouldn't anticipate that. >> I don't think we would anticipate that this year. >> So I say all of that to say there's a lot of other things in there besides just paying for meals. Um our revenue once again 2,665,000. Our chart will um invoice was $2,159,645.85. So if you say did you make enough to pay for the food for the kids? We did. But I'm counting in all of the salary. So, we have six Talib public schools employees and it's not my salary. I know I'm over child nutrition, but I paid from a million different grants and this is not one of them. Um, but this is the six the six people that
037are tele public schools employees and then Charwells pays for their own. Um, but I just wanted I wanted to be really really transparent with you all. So, the part that I don't know yet, when we signed up with Chartwells, it was a $50,000 guarantee. So, now we're in the process of figuring out. So, in the RFP, it said like Talqua's paying for grease traps. I can't remember if that really was one of ours or not. I think that was theirs. So, I think Chartwells pays for grease traps. We pay for repairs. Chartwell. So, in the RFP, that's how it played out. But the State Department, we just emailed them. We said, "We need help figuring out how do you determine if we are good with 50,000 because in my mind, if you look at all
038of the expenditures and all of the revenue, we're not. We're 83,000 below. But does that mean that Chartwells owes us 83,000 and then another 50,000 or do you take out those pockets of money for like equipment and repairs and those type of things? So I didn't I don't have a beautiful answer for you tonight. We are going back and forth with the state and with chart walls and hopefully very soon. They'll say they're supposed to give us 50,000 if >> they just guaranteed that we would not lose money,000,000. They and they guaranteed >> they did that. >> So, and I'm just not sure is it just their service or all those other services and we're getting two different answers. looked at it before when we were paying for it, when the kids were paying, were
039we making money then or were we about the same because we still pay for all those expenses above correct salaries and >> so you haven't done that? >> I have not done that. I would imagine we would be a little bit better, but I can certainly do that and and break that down and look at that. We were not upside down the other way. >> And we weren't No, we've never been upside down. >> That's why we had such a large carryover. >> Yes. I just can't give you an exact amount, I guess, is what what I'm saying on that. >> So, I have a question about these. So, like utilities, pest control, is that just for the child nutrition site or is that some portion at each of the school sites as well? >>
040Some portion at like the cafeteria at each site. Um, >> it's by square footage, right? >> The utilities are by square footage. The pest control is literally the pest guy goes into each and it's just a dollar amount per each but utilities is by square footage. >> It's very particular what you can um I won't say like write off but code to that child nutrition fund and so we do code everything possible to that child nutrition code but it they it is the most rule oriented program probably of any school program. So, you were held to a very strict >> code. And I I'll tell you the reason I asked that because we were So, you know, carryover aside, we spent $83,000 more than we were reimbured for gross. >> And, you know, I just
041did quick math. It's $23 per kid in our district to feed all kids for free to the family. And assuming that this program continues and we, you know, we can still do it. They don't bump up to 60. I understand that we have a a tight budget with things going forward, but I'm not upset about that. The fact that we didn't have to families and young kids and that every kid that was hungry got to eat. And I mean, we've talked about this a lot over the years and I kind of by default I think the seat that I took like child nutrition has been but it's been important for me too. And you know is that doable in the long run? Well, with a $700,000 carryover even if we are spending a little more
042money than we make that gives us three, four, five, six years to continue to work on these things and figure them out. And I don't I don't think that we're ready to say because we didn't break even, we're not doing this anymore. I mean, there is there are things that are really important and feeding kids is really important and we do have a little bit of wiggle room. And I know that you guys have worked hard. The food is better. We have more kids eating. Um, and I'm I'm not upset by these numbers. I think you guys have done a great job. And >> do we still have the fund where people can put >> That's what I want to know. Jim Wilson, >> we do. We have not used it for anything child nutrition
043related necessarily because we really just >> we didn't have those kids paying bills for it. >> I think we would have to change um descriptions if we were going to do that. But it's not something that could be off the table. And we also have people that um add money to the gopher public schools that are specific that type of thing. If we find that it is something that we run a little bit over like this, uh we could edit those descriptions as well where people could help to pay the difference. So uh to to help with that I want to make a point also and this was when eight or nine years ago when my first term I was on the board with Jim Wilson and at that time and he we were pretty
044adamant about we didn't want kids to just get a paper bag with the sandwich in it because it was so obvious that they were being sectioned off and you know separated from the group. We all know how hard that is first of all for anyone but children to be put in that position. But then we had also something like 60some,000 dollars in meals that people had just charged and not paid for. So nine or 10 and most of the board we were okay with with that. Let's just pay it and let those kids eat and send them through. And it wasn't just those But that was nine or 10 years, you know, almost 10 years ago and there was that sort of expense at the end of the year dealing with um with our nutrition
045program. So this is not considering that we have more students considering that we're allowing everyone to eat and all of those pluses. I don't see this as such a negative. >> Well, good. I >> I mean, if we had no money, >> right? Right. >> We might I mean, we might be there have this conversation four years down the road and the program goes down and everything else has been cut, but >> we're we're in a really good spot. And you know, when >> news came out last week that everyone has to do this, it was like we don't have to worry about we're doing it. We're doing it. We've taken the steps. And it again, I think we're getting better. And I understand that we can't I say we can't. I mean, maybe maybe
046we can't. Maybe maybe the future is it we're going to spend $100,000 a year to feed kids and we have to find that money from somewhere else. And if that's a decision that we make, that's, you know, hopefully the program keeps going and we continue to, as we know, like you said, you know, you might you might get your freezer goes out and you have to spend $55,000 and something else comes up and those are, you know, not reoccurring expenses, but we have to find the money for them. But I am I am thrilled that we are able to do what we call free lunch forever, free meals for everyone. And I hope that we can continue forever. You know, as you say, it's beyond lunch. And we don't want to not do the right
047thing now out of fear that in four years we'll deal with that in four years. >> Yes. >> Or next year, whatever. Well, if you look at the number of meals you serve this summer to Fox and >> you don't have our whole year >> and then if you look at the number of backpacks that are packed during the school year, >> we have a problem and and we have and this this school has always addressed that. I'm all for I want to feed them three meals a day for free. >> Yeah. >> And take on a big old snack. >> Maybe popcorn and a slushie. Okay. Well, >> smoothies are >> Yeah, smoothies are >> I am glad you guys are um not happy necessarily okay with where we landed. I will continue in
048my position to be as transparent as I can. I'll try to get give you information monthly. It is kind of up and down sometimes because one month we get a commodity credit, one month we don't. And so that is sometimes why one month we're 20,000 ahead and the next month we're 25 below, you know. And so I will try to do my best to to keep you informed and then we can have this conversation also again next year or before then um if we need to. So >> you know I think we're all aware of all of the effort and all of the compiling, the data and everything else that had to do, the extra work that it took in hours, probably hundreds of hours to to get this community eligibility program. It's always been
049available, but we've never had it. >> And that was a tremendous amount of effort. Definitely a joint effort between Shauna and Heidi and Victoria, you know, it's it's not a oneman. >> Yeah. But it's been a tremendous amount of work and I think we all have appreciated that. >> Good. >> I would like to see Lacy just more to celebrate you guys than anything else because you tell us monthly meals every time, but now that the year's over to see what it was >> that we served for the whole year. Some some months it was 30,000. So we're in the hundreds of thousands of mills that were provided and it's great. >> We have good people. I think Jane will do a great job too. I've already noticed her working very hard this summer and
050I love it. And so >> you know I I think it's going to be even more important next year because we know that there there are federal programs that are being cut where >> yes >> people are going people who need food are going to have less dollars to spend on food and they have kids that are hungrier and people that >> got services before that don't get them now that as we know kids the only place they eat is at school. >> That's cool. And we want it to be good. >> Yeah it is. It is. I'm gonna keep going to lunch bunch and I'll report back. >> Okay. Yeah, keep reporting back. >> Thank you. >> All right. F. Thank you again, Lacy. Superintendent report. Try to follow that. I got some good
051information, but I also get it from other people and she gave a lot of it to me, so that's good. Uh, first I want to have a shout out to Bryson. I know you're at home watching this board meeting tonight, so we're all saying hi to you. We can't wait till you get back to school. Um, so we have right now 484 employees. We have 3,616 complete enrollments for next year. We have 20 that Victoria is just busy putting all the information in. So that'll make that 3636 very quickly. And we have many that are um in the queue that have started enrollment but have not finished that. We have various spots for transfers in all elementary schools still. TMS is completely full um and ths is full in 10th through 12th grade. So a
052few spots in 9th grade. Um just a few project updates. We've got lots of things going on. Um obviously the roof repairs, Greenwood Cherokee and Sequoia, child nutrition and maintenance are all complete um this summer. ths is near completion. The middle school and Heritage have repairs that will begin, but I all should be done before school starts. Um, we're doing a lot of HVAC work as well. Um, T-MAC is almost complete. I don't know if you remember, but we had to replace the basically $500,000 HVAC unit at the T-Mac and they were on the roof and now they are there are two units and they are bigger than a house um really. And so that's been very interesting to watch them put those in. But it is very uh very close to complete. You can
053already tell a major difference when you're in the T-MAC. Um so uh something that had to be done and it's almost complete. >> Uh the barn uh finishing touches. It should be done next uh by this time next week uh end of next week. Um, it has been a labor of love and community donations and uh, Mr. Wallace has been putting uh, he put I saw him put a video out on the FFA page today walking people through it. So, um, as soon as we can, we'll get like a ribbon cutting and something special where our kids can get out there and see it. But it's going to be an amazing addition um, for their programs. Um, we've got paint projects all over the district. Um they have just finished painting the exterior of Cherokee
054that matches everything that was added on in the last um year or so. So it looks really really nice and a lot of places just you know within um dugouts um all kinds of things all over the district. So they've been working on that. Um, awnings should be begin there next week. As you know, or I think you know, we pushed the car line down um towards the new admin to uh get kids a out of the water that runs through the street and get some of the backed up car line to help a little bit with that. >> Is this middle school >> at Cherokee? >> Cherokee. And so we moved them away from the awnings and now we need to replace that with new awnings. But we have a gentleman that's supposed to
055start that next week. Um >> I was just thinking the middle school lines those small task >> that is a large line as well. We have some ideas of that you know one of these days that we want to do. Um but that is a ways out. Uh just want to say you know thanks to Brad and all of the crew the grounds and the operations maintenance because they always they take such pride in their work. Um, we often are around other places and I am happy to say I mean I'm in biased probably that I feel like ours always looks um as good or better than um than any district that I ever see, especially year round. Um, a few other things. Obviously, we're at Armory. Um, the demo should start in the next
056few weeks at the Armory. are working on timelines and making sure the plans are exactly and going back through that. They're like, "If you want to change a wall, I need to know now, but you don't want to do it after the wall is up." So, we are fine toothcombing that, working on little details. Um, so, um, I'm still being promised and I'm calling you out, Mr. Steven Ryan, um, that we can put a Christmas tree in there. Uh, so we'll see, but, uh, that that is the plan. Um, also bond, um, as Mr. Reed mentioned, all things bond right now. Um, um, 6:00 in the morning, at 2 in the morning, pretty much 24 hours a day right now is is planning for and taking care of things for the bond. Uh, preparing flyers,
057videos, renderings, talking to every group that we can get in front of. And we just we really want to inform our public. We want everybody to know what it is that we are trying to do and why we're trying to do it. and what that's going to do for um our community and our kids. Um and that's what it's all about. It is all about kids. Um some we've had a lot of summer PD. Um Lacy has gathered some of this data for me. I'm going to run through it pretty quickly, but we have mental health health first aid and 23 people were trained on that this summer. Uh Katie Kinder came back and everybody loves some Katie Kinder at Talipa Public Schools and um we had 49 people that attended the classroom management in
058the morning, 44 in the afternoon. And what I love about this is Lacy worked with me to invite other area schools. So when we do this summer PD series, we don't just train telequa teachers, but we train teachers from Briggs, from Hulbert, from Keys. Um often we share kids. Um, and all of those kids are still part of our community that are going to um all pay in that are going to work here. They're going to be part of the Chamber of Commerce and uh and do all the things. So, I love how we work together on that. So, it was a room full of different educators. Uh Sydney Duro did a couple sessions 34 in the morning, 31 in the afternoon. Again, a mixed group. Crossroads Learning has done a training uh for 12
059of our teachers on enha enhanced reading instruction to ELEL's and to about dyslexia. We did some curriculum pacing work and 18 of our teachers came in and worked on that. This summer we have a safety summit tomorrow um and Dr. Sorrel's uh which will be trauma informed instruction is um also next week. We had uh 25 teachers attend PLC training in Tulsa. We had a couple teachers go to the too good for drugs training. Um we had six teachers go to Elevate uh training, four SRO and two administrators. Another staff member attend the national SRO conference just recently and uh four pre-K teachers that attended an intense trauma training with Dr. Sorl. Um and then we had two SRO's uh just recently go to the National School Safety Conference. So, we have spent a a
060lot of time and money um in training uh this summer and all of that is grant driven. Um that is definitely our bread and butter when it comes to that. And so, just another reason it's so important that those funds continue um to our school. We just finished summer school as well. Uh our site coordinator, Heather Taylor, um does an amazing job taking care of our summer program. um began on June 2nd, concluded on the 27th. At elementary level, we had 167 students uh enrolled with an average daily attendance of 124. As we've heard, they got breakfast, they got lunch, they got field trips, they got uh some great academic instruction and ELA and math and enrichment um in their classes every day. Uh we also had a a summer school at um TMS and
061the site coordinator there is Kevin Vincent again another rock star for our district. They had 45 students in grade 5 through eight. Um it's hard to get middle school kids to want to go to school in the summer and that we had that many that wanted to go and attend. I think it's a tribute to his great programming. Um they did again fun educational things for that entire month. Uh they did some fishing, some hiking, uh library trips, uh a lot of things that just engaged kids. Uh high school is a little different um bent on summer school. It's just really credit recovery and Miss Mandy Jordan, library extraordinaire at High School, um headed that up for us this summer. They had 52 students that were offered summer school um that logged in at least
062once. We'll count that a win. Um but 37 credits were um given this summer were We covered 37 credits. So, that is a definite win. Um, just a couple dates to remember. Uh, we're hosting the monthly bingle for the Chamber of Commerce on August 1st at 8:00 a.m. at Cherokee. I would invite you all to attend that if at all possible. Um, and on August 11th, as he also mentioned, we have our welcome back. Always love when you guys can come to that if you happen to be free. Um, it's a Monday. Uh, August 11th begins at 8 and sounds like you're going to get to watch some people win some big prizes. Um, that's an awesome awesome shout out to our community and attending the education expo that evening at the Chota Center. Um,
063come and go from 4 to 6. And then the 14th, kids come back. Uh, the summer went by so quickly, so quickly. But, um, we are ready. We're ready for them to get back on our school campuses. Uh it's just it's we miss them, you know. I mean, we're ready for them to leave probably in May, but we're by now ready for them to come back because all of us choose to do this because of kids. So, we're ready to get them back here. And I think most of the kids are by this point in summer ready to start pushing back towards school, not coming back. I have a middle school niece that brings a slew of girls to my pool often and I asked them this weekend and they were like, "Yeah, I had
064some questions about the new policies." So, I was able to have that conversation with some eighth grade girls uh this weekend and um talk about cell phones and safety things, but uh it was a good conversation and they're ready to come back to school. I have a quick question about maybe more for Britney, but so we have to do our yearly board like we pick our dates and then we send them in because they have to be filed somewhere. >> Yes. >> And then typically we if something changes we do a special. Can we change those? Because we will come hopefully January be meeting at the new place. >> We can um we have you have so many days before a regular board meeting to change them if we need to. They will still be
065regular. We don't have the Okay. Yes, that was my question. >> Um, we will have the year calendar. Um, but there have been times that we have had to go and we've been able to do it ahead of enough time that we can change the date and we have tenative days for all those to get in front of you pretty quickly to see how that's working for you guys. >> Are we ready to move forward? Anything else? That's incredible. list of all of the accomplishments, what's been done, and what we're doing. It's impressive. We never really shut down. >> That's you know, people think schools are shut down and nothing is going on in summer >> and that is not true. Yes. Uh people often they wonder what you do in the summer, but you
066people don't realize or they forget that school is also a $50 million business. Um and that's a fiscal year ending, a fiscal year beginning. It's uh for us probably here in this building really the busiest time um and getting everything ready. And uh the day the students start, I much to Carr's dismay start talking about the next year. Oh, she pulled out a 2008 calendar the other day. >> 2028. >> She's going back. >> Yeah. >> Begin with the end in mind. >> All right. Once again, I'm just so excited about it by our carryover. I think that's the largest carryover. All right. Item G, discussion and vote to approve the following DPS employees other than the superintendent to be authorized to be authorized legal representatives to legally sign on behalf of the LEA, which
067is TPS district, all current fiscal year expenditure reports, distributions, and cash receipts with the Oklahoma State Department of Education. O K SD and this is Sabrina Sabrina Garner, finance director and Lacy Wilson, director of federal programs. Do I have a motion? >> So moved. >> Second. >> Any discussion? >> This is required for federal for Mrs. Crawford. And I discussion vote to approve the designation of of purchasing agents and receiving clerks for the below site purchasing agent transportation. Paul Martin and is it Chris Hendrick to approve? >> Second. Any discussion? Nemo. I I was think we don't have them listed out separately. We read the first one and not the second one. But my motion was to approve >> purchasing and receiving >> purchasing. Didn't I did I not say both the second? Oh, I
068see. Below and then the receiving a I missed that. I'm sorry. receiving agent uh transportation Paul Martin and Christine Hendrick. >> That was my motion. >> I second it. >> Okay. Any further discussion? Thank you. Mrs. Nemo. >> Hi, Dr. Ever. >> I >> Mrs. Crawford and I discussion and vote to approve the following surplus. Looks like Heritage is cleaning up the house. [Music] Okay, a motion on that. Second. Any discussion? >> I'd really like to get that handwriting without tears book. That just cracks me up. Handwriting without tears >> curriculum was used for years. >> Really? >> Wow. >> The tears from the teachers >> and I've had motions and second >> I Dr. Everol I >> Mrs. Crawford and I item J business items consent docket vote to approve the following one through
069three and its contracts and agreements uh trips out of state overnight trips and three uh 2020 526 fiscal year membership subscriptions. Do I have a motion? >> I'll make a motion. >> Second. Any discussion? Mrs. Nemo. I >> Dr. Eversoul, >> Mrs. Crawford. >> And I Okay. Discussion and vote to approve the revised 2025 school calendar. I have a motion. I'll make that motion. A second. Second. Any discussion? Um, we added the graduation date and that was added for Sunday, May 17th at 200 p.m. Again, um, we also, um, negotiated with TEA for some of the, uh, beginning days and PB day in January for some work time in their classrooms. Um, and this year, um, and for at this moment, for this year only, uh, the last two school days will be snow makeup
070days. Um, we would be able to determine by the March board meeting whether or not we had enough hours to meet the legal requirements, which are actually more this year, 2086, but we do go more hours than that. Um if we have met our legal obligation on hours then students last day can be the 15th Friday the 15th instead of coming back on Monday and Tuesday. >> That's good. >> Which I feel like will be a very popular decision with 3600 students in the last couple of days get a little bit um >> do we have crazy additional built-in snow days or no? >> We do not. >> So if we take if we take a snow day we have to come back out Monday. He takes us to the tube and we have to
071come back. >> No, because we go um typically we go about 8 days worth of hours more than we have to. >> So we have hours built in, not days built in. >> Yes. >> So you have to have,086 this year. Um Shauna will take the calendar in the next couple weeks and figure out exactly how many hours. But I believe if we were looking at last year's calendar as an example, we had about eight days that we could have missed without making up. Um, another calendar change that the legislature did this year, um, is that a school district can only have two distance learning days. We don't utilize distance learning days, so this is most likely not going to affect us unless we have some significant weather event or some type of emergency in
072the building. Um, our calendar generally allows for us to miss a certain amount of days without without making them up. um we would have to miss I would venture to say a couple weeks of school to to have to um make it up and with the distance learning days available to us. So uh a little snow is good but I am not speaking that on us. I don't want two weeks of bad weather and those were the changes. All right. So any further discussion Dr. Hi Mrs. Crawford and I. Item L, discussion and vote to approve the adoption, revision, and or removal of the following policies 1 through 16. Would you like to do I don't do I have motion second discussion? Any other question? >> Did you find talk to somebody about the question
073I had on the inclusion in every program? >> I we have not talked to our attorney about it, but we have it in there. I let Tanya know that we had that question. >> And let me explain, there are multiple um policies here and this happens every June, July after the legislature um has finished. And so some rules um some board policies have to be edited because of state law. Some board policies have to be edited because of the state state department rules that were adopted. Um as you know we're working with OSSBA to redo our entire policy book. Um it was antiquated at best in many in many ways. And so when we as had them do a review, they basically said probably best to start over. And so we got our first draft
074uh in the last month. And we have been spending hours and hours going through a giant box that they sent with the policy revisions. Um these that we have today are revising our existing policies uh with new law. Um, and I called OSSBA and said, "We're in the middle of a whole policy update. Can we wait?" And they said, "No." Um, because a lot of these went into effect right away. So, we took our old policies and used their new language and edited the policy like we normally would. But what we will turn around and do in the upcoming months is most likely have to have a special board meeting to review the entire policy because there are thousands of pages I would say um of policy. So they're all like yes thousands of pages.
075We've been looking at our eyes are crossed 180 or something. >> Yes. So, um, these policies, um, none of them, some a lot of it was cleaning up. Um, a lot of it is, uh, just changing a few words, um, on them. Um, the, uh, trying to see if there's anything student transfer policy, we have to do this time every year. Um, interd district transfer was just a change in words. um as the the active duty military transfers as well. Um some of the policies we had um we took their policy that they gave us in the policy uh review book, you just went ahead and put it in play because ours was so off. Um one change was about like a EpiPens. Um, and law now requires that if we have to use an
076EpiPen on a student that we call uh 911 and their parent, which we most likely would have anyhow, but um now that is in law. Uh even if the the parent is in the building, you call 911, then you get the parent. That's the new heavy pin law. Um there were some changes on um standards of performance in conduct that added a reason for termination for employees. Um and it see >> it's not the fourth page in your packet. >> Policy 4129. put the name. Oh. Um, so it added, uh, language about anti-semitism that was required by law. Now, um, it added a reasoning for due process or for dismissal for knowing and willful failure to report suspected child abuse or neglect. That had not been listed before it. So, all of those um were
077just minor uh changes to that. And every one of these will be ones that we have to go back through. Um so now we've got the book that they gave us. We will we edited um we were able to make comments um to ask questions. We'll put that in the mail back to OSSBA on Thursday. And then all of these policies because they had our initial policies now we'll have to say the 16 that we adopted now because you asked us to and then they would be put back in for a review when they get it back to us again. Um, we really wanted to at least the first time, maybe even the second, try to clean it up for you guys as much as possible before we hand it to you to start going
078over because it is not light reading. Um, but it needed um it needed to be done. It needed to be cleaned up. So, we're going to be in a much better place. And as we update it in the future, uh it's very it's systematic where um although their lettering the way they number their policies is foreign to me, but we'll get used to it. >> We'll just have to get used to numbers when we get the kind of the full update where things that are struck or struck through and new is highlighted. >> Yes. >> Which it may be a lot of it because we may be completely replacing it. >> That's why today some of these that's what you did find. Uh once we started looking at what our policy was and what they
079just sent, we're like mark the whole thing out, add a whole new paragraph because it got really really hard to go through and find where they added a word or a comma um or they just changed the context for some reason. >> Stephanie, which one were you asking? >> Okay. Well, there was I think it's in the student conduct. >> I had the picture. I was dropped my phone if you're watching. I was looking for the picture that I had taken of it, but I didn't I didn't >> It was the principal one of commitment to students. It was 4129. You had a question on principle one, the commitment to the students down here on uh on number six. Shall not on the basis of race, color, creed, all of that unfairly and a exclude
080a student from participation in any program deny benefits of the student. you you were concerned that if they didn't >> Does this apply to athletics? Because now it's an illegal conflict with having to. >> If we are saying in our policy that you have to include them in any program that they ask to be in, it's in conflict with law that says you cannot put a boy into a sports. So, I was just asking for clarification of our policy to be sure that we're within the law. >> Does that make sense? >> Yes. Um, it does and I think that we would just need to get more clarification to that. I mean, my knee-jerk answer would be that if we have a girls basketball team, um, that any girl would be able to, uh, you
081couldn't deny a benefit of any girl, which is it that's understood, but is it written clearly enough that if a student came and said, I want to be on the girls, can we say, "No, you cannot." >> Once we put it into policy, >> yes, you can. >> Yeah. We put it into policy that we can't deny anybody that applies for any program. Now, does it cross over? Do we have a problem there? >> Right. And I one thing I would say is that um even if we tabled this policy, that's already in policy and that's how it's written right now. So, it's not changing anything >> that came from. But it's definitely something in the new policy review that we need to uh make note of and say this was a concern. Um and
082and this is a very the standards of performance and conduct is a very uh uh typical document. U I I don't I don't think those are very edited policies. It pretty much comes just down from the state department. But we can definitely get clarification. >> We've had so many changes lately. I mean it has become such an issue. Used to be an issue now. It is an issue now. We got to make sure that we're all >> meshed in the law. Yes. >> And don't get entangled instead. And Chrissy had a few questions on some of the policies today. Some things that I'm looking at Boy Scouts. >> That is how that is exactly how it is written from OSSBA. It's there's a a policy and it you know talks about groups but then it
083specifically just names Boy Scouts and her question was why >> and it doesn't name any other group. I don't >> I miss whatever. >> Yeah, >> that is verbatim what was sent to us from them. >> It does because it doesn't list any. It says, you know, and it says including the Boy Scouts and and then it has I assume it's an executive order because it has it lists the laws and um federal and state laws, the reasons they're making those changes and where that comes from. But I just that one really was odd to me and I don't remember anything that it it didn't trigger anything that I remembered that there was some special role. So that question will be answered along with the ones that Christine was able to send me today. But
084so go through them and then again like we'll get this first read back from them. We'll get it back in a hopefully a um an electronic form that we can uh share and edit from because this is actually a giant binder that came that we had to just go through page to page, put stickies on, make marks, and then they go back and they they change it from that. So um we hope there are not many of you guys are listening. We're hope you're not disappointed with that. We've mar we've done a lot of stickies, a lot of marks, a lot of questions um as we've gone through that this last month. >> All right. Are we ready to vote? >> Yes. >> I Dr. Ever solder. >> Item M, discussion and vote to approve
085the school hours policy number 5020 for the 2025 school year and to provide statutory notice to the Oklahoma State Department of Education in accordance with law. Second discussion. >> This is exactly what I was talking about earlier where we do hours and not days. So we put that into um policy or in a vote court board vote and then upload that to the state department >> and we the new law is has to be 186 hours,86 >> hours. Yes. I just keep saying >> 180 last year >> and we do beyond >> we do way beyond and I will make a note on my my superintendent report next next uh month to tell you exactly how many we have something tea asked for anyways so I'll report it to everybody >> we ready to vote
086on this more discussion Dr. I Mrs. Crawford and I item N discussion and vote to approve the final reading of the following handbooks and manuals for the 2025 26 fiscal year. Wish that I read through these or I think you can say 1 through 12. 1 through 12. I think I read through them last last time in a motion please. I'll make second. Any discussion discussions on anything anyone saw or noticed? Miss Nemo, >> Dr. Ersil. >> I Mrs. Crawford. >> And I discussion and vote to approve the schedule of encumbrances. I'll make that motion. >> Second discussion. >> Yeah. Okay. Dan, did you have an opportunity to >> Sorry in class. I was >> Did you have an opportunity to ask about the the horns? >> The what? >> The horns. The brass. >>
087Yes. I thought I told you about how you mean the horns. >> No, not how many. >> Okay. >> But is it in the contract? Remember we talked about is it in the contract? >> Yes, I I didn't ask her. She's coming to my meeting tomorrow. Remember I said she's coming here with me right now tomorrow. She's in wherever she is on the trip and I was just going to ask her. >> Okay. >> Miss Crawford had a question about u cleaning instruments. It's not something that's been typically done and you know and I had asked her when she'd put that in and in her opinion the instruments need to be cleaned like that every year but they haven't been cleaned like that um in a long time but it was a substantial amount of
088money a couple years 42 >> my concern was I mean I researched it and the price that we're paying for that meeting is above the norm and so I just asked is it in contract if we bought it from them. Is it enough our purchase contract that we have to go back to there for cleaning or can we put out bids because if we can find it done cheap enough then yes we should do it but if it's going to be this expensive to do it >> kind of expensive >> about $10,000 and $1,39 >> she also told me 42 I will tell you off uh she is out of state and I said tell me how many you think it is so hopefully she goes back tomorrow and she says, "I misquoted Tanya. It
089was really 212." I don't think it's going to be that, but um we will check that and we would be able to they it has not been done um systematically for years. So, I'm going to say we are not tied to any company. I just don't it might be one of the things where you don't have a lot of options. >> Well, that was the other thing is a bit too >> as a brass player's mother. The longer you put off maintenance, the more it costs. And that may be why it's so >> if it's averaging almost $250 for instance, to me that's that's high. >> Well, but it depends on how long it's been since they've been cared for. >> Well, >> and you know, they have to put belts on. I mean, they're
090>> Yeah. So, I realize they don't stick them in the sink and run the If they, you know, can justify to me this is all, you know, friends in >> give them ask for great this kind of instrument has this done and this is why it costs this much. This kind of instrument like a tuba obviously it's huge and maybe a clarinet shouldn't cost as much as a flute because it doesn't have as many little pieces and I'm just which is a wood and >> No, they have the same almost. >> Yeah. But anyway, but what I'm saying is to justify the cost. I just feel like that's it's a bit exorbitant if I don't have a reason. >> Does that make sense? I mean, >> when we go into executive session, can we try
091to pull that contract to where that first sort when we did that? We might have some very spe explicit information on that without her here to be able to answer that. I'm not >> No, I think it's good. It's a good question. >> And if we can get it done somewhere else. I mean, do we put it out for bids or what? My thought is if it hasn't been done, if we can get it done more cheaply, then justify doing it regularly. If we cannot if it's going to cost $10,000 every year. >> Okay. >> We haven't That's the point of discussion is to have that moment of okay are you ready to vote Dr. Ever >> I, >> Mrs. Crawford, >> I item P, discussion and vote to approve Indian Capital Technology Center Muscogi
