Um the policy is GBN JBA AR one and JBA GBN- AR one. >> That's what the section or the section. Yeah. Yeah. I believe that's it to the agenda. >> With that, I'll take a motion to approve the consent agenda. Take the update. >> I motion that we approve the consent agenda, including the update. >> Motion by Director Dietrich. Do I have a second? I'll second >> to approve. Seconds. All in favor? >> I. All >> opposed. >> 4.0 public comment. >>

002Anybody signed up for public? >> Well, we have we have you guys for the name. We have you coming up right after that. >> So, that'll bring us to 5.0. Halen Valley Livestock and Archery. Julie Cono and Heather McBain. Can you spell them up? Thank you. >> For anyone who doesn't know me, my name is Heather McBain. I am one of the 4 leaders for Halen Valley Livestock and I'm also a teacher here at church school and we have come back to present yourself in front of again. The students did a really incredible job this year at the fair and really all year long. There are things that they learn through 4 that they don't learn other places and there's skills that even some young adults don't have. Last time we were here, I watched

003one of our students ask if he could give you his buyer letter, and he did. And that is the same thing as walking up to the owner of a company and saying, "Can I give you my resume and my job application?" That's a scary thing, but that's a sixth grader who did that. And they do that to other businesses as well. So, there's a lot of value in 4 and a lot of things that the kids learn besides things like how to take care of your animal. So, they are learning other skills, developing new skills, and building on the things they already know. >> Um, and I just wanted to say thank you for having us back. We just wanted to kind of have an opportunity for our kids, for one, to have public speaking

004because I feel like the more that they can get out in front of people, the better that they will do for our community. And so, I'm trying to give them an opportunity to do that. And I just want to brag on them for a little bit. Um, we took 11 kids to the fair. We had one student who did hall exhibits and she's going to hold up her book right now and she kind of clean househibits. Um, and she was at fair every day. She did not have an animal, but she was at fair every single day helping us scoop um stalls, keeping everybody organized, and just being great moral support. And um we had kids have to learn to strategize and plan and come up with the unexpected. We had um Ryder who was

005showing a steer and a um sheep at the same time and he was going, "How do I get my steer blow dry?" >> Well, these lovely people back here um I could go on and on, but they all grabbed blow dryers and figured out how to get his steer washed for him and dry. not washed. He washed it dried for him and ready for him to just walk in. And um these kids have never had these kids have never dealt with a steer that weighs over 1500 lb in their life and they did not know what to do with it, but they learned by doing and they they blessed Ryder and they got um incredible skills. It was I'm going to cry on that one because it was so amazing to see. >> Um we

006had lots of trophies. We had lots of grand champions. We had lots of amazing awards. Um almost in everything that was entered, we brought home purple. And so the Nalen Valley was represented very very well. Um we had Riley Kelsey, I don't know if you know him, but Riley Kelsey um showed up for turkey showmanship and he showed his turkey and he got reserve champion senior division. He answered questions that blew me out of the water on his knowledge and his confidence. Some of it was a little, you know, off the cuff, but he stood up there and he did a great job. And um he I also Riley Kelsey got um an award from the fair because he went above and beyond and he blessed everybody in the whole county by sweeping the whole

007entire barn. The whole entire barn. So, um, and we had, um, let's see who else. We had Ruby. Ruby, um, had one two entries in poultry. She did amazing in there. But Ruby was the person that was helping everybody um, be the best that they could be, and she made our area look incredible. Um, she had more barn duty than anybody else. and we present our area like you're coming into our store. And if it looks bad, do you want to buy those animals? If there's poop everywhere or if our stalls are not clean, you're not going to want to talk to those kids. And so Ruby was um very instrumental with Lillian and Emmy and Carrie and Autumn on keeping us our storefront looking amazing at all times. So we were very very blessed

008for their um their ability to be there and clean and clean and clean when they got tired of it. So >> um we had we did our first year in archery and that was an amazing experience. We had Ryder get um grand champion in his division. We had Titus get grand champion um sportsmanship in archery. And so I think there was about 70 or 60 kids in archery. >> So that was they and Carrie Caroline Clark participated and um she did a phenomenal job. It is a very long event and they did really well. Um, we had Lillian Lillian um, first year show a rabbit and I think if you would have offered her a million dollars or show her rabbit and the experience she got, I think she would take the rabbit. The joy

009that you got to see on her face and the confidence that you got to see on her face after she um, showed and participated and she went over to some other people's houses and gained experience before a fair. So, she was ready to go walk into that arena. Um, we also had her grandma who was very instrumental. We had a lot of community support. We had family support and we had parent support. That was just really, really cool to see this year. Um, we had writer Robbie Robbie Graham who's never shown before. He took a pass of rabbits and he got reserved grand champion. He was the second person to enter into the whole auction because of his placing and um he just kept winning and winning and winning and um he'll probably have to

010have you know build up his muscles just to carry all of his ribbons and awards. So we had um Carrie and Ebie that showed turkeys and they showed chickens and they did an amazing job and their attitude was always positive. We had Titus who brought the biggest steer that Cla County has ever seen of over 18 or 17 >> 1737 and he got to do that and he was a barn superintendent and he kept the barn going and helped with um making sure the fair ran smoothly and we had a new leader this year, Mike Powers. um he's new to the community from California and he just um felt he was a little not understanding how our fair worked because he was from California. But one of our kids, I'll actually name him. He was

011a first year kid. Devin Anderson showed a goat this year and um Mike took him under his wing and Mike was about ready to quit being on 4, but Devon walked in the first day of fair and gave him the biggest hug and said, "Thank you so much for all that you've done for me. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you." Melted his heart and we want him back as a leader. So, I we have tons of things that we're going to share, but my I'm just gonna do a little marketing pitch. We need some more leaders. So, if you know anybody that's interested in helping with um home app kind of things, cooking, um animals, we need some more people to make it a really successful program. So, that's my sales pitch.

012So, if you guys know anybody, please keep them in contact with me and I'll let everybody else have a chance. >> So, as you guys already heard, uh my name is Has Con. I am the I'm 17 years old. I'm the president of Island Livestock for Club. Uh this is my eighth year in for my ninth year, my last year. Um and I've shown everything from poultry to horses to guinea pigs. Not proud about the guinea pigs. That um so this year at fair, uh our club did really good. Uh we showed up, we suited up. Uh we represented in H Valley Livestock. Well, um we were clean as my mom was saying. Uh we won the sheep award for uh cleanest area. So it's called heartsmanship and we won the sheep herdsmanship award. Um

013a couple things that forage has taught me. It's taught me responsibility uh life skills, taking care of things. When I get back late, I still have animals that rely on me. They don't feed themselves. Um so just just responsibility and how to take care of things. Um and seeing the process from farm, all the animals, all the food, everything, and how it goes right on your plate and how it gets there and the process it gets there. Um, I'd like to thank all of you for letting us use barn and everything. Um, it is tremendous help to having be able to have our stuff in one central area. So, thank you very much. >> Thank you. >> Hi, my name is Ryder. Um, this is my second year in 4. I'm 12 years old and

014um, I I really thank you guys for letting us use the barn. I've had a bunch of fun. I've learned stuff that I've never knew. I just want to thank you guys again for letting us see you. >> Thank you. My name is 4. >> Did you show your dog again? >> I showed my duck. >> How did that help? >> Good. What did they ask? And did you enjoy? >> Thank you. >> Is that the duck you showed at fair? >> Yes. >> What's the What's the duck? >> No, I don't want >> Does the duck have a name? >> I've had duck. No, >> I thought you had a hole you were trying to film. So, Um hello my name is Ruby Sperling. Uh I showed my chicken for the second time in

015my second year for and I showed my meat turkey for the first time ever and um I got $400 off of my turkey at market. >> Nice. I showed a educational board um in the exhibit hall which got which got champion and state fair at state fair. >> Wow. >> And um I showed an art piece which got a blue ribbon. And um I just like to thank you guys for letting us use the barn here. like Titus and the writer said this really helpful keep all of our stuff in one place. So, thank you guys for that. >> Thank you. Hello, my name is Lillian and I'm 12 years old and I just finished my first year in 4. Today I'm going to be talking about my club hand valley livestock I have done

016this past year and my goals are for this year. Last year I took part in a cooking application the pioneer barbecue and joined my rabbit muffin. I submitted my art table setting and flower arranging. I also helped out with hermanship and keeping the fairgrounds clean. My goals for this year are showing my rabbit, showing a chicken, and possibly raising a market animal. I wanted to thank the board for letting us use the school for our meetings, our activities. Thank you for giving me the time to share. >> Thank you. >> Hi, I'm Tiffany Applebee. My husband is R.J. Applebee and he is the archery leader. I just wanted to say like everybody else, thank you guys for letting us use the barn. He's able to hold all the meetings for archery there and we got

017to see some really amazing things within the kids that were a part of the group. Um they got to blossom and experience things that not all of them do. We're fortunate enough that Ryder did really amazing, but he's able to do that at home with his dad. But R.J.'s is able to come and show kids how to do archery that don't get to do that at home with their dad. So, I feel like that's a really amazing thing and we're really excited. So, hopefully next year we can rally in some more kids. So, if you guys also know anybody in the community that not only wants to be a part of the Halen Valley Livestock, but just the archery as well. They don't have to do both. Um it's a really amazing thing and we'd

018like to branch out to the community so everybody knows about it because it's really cool as well. But thank you. >> Thank you. Again, I just want to say thank you for having us. And um I'm going to backtrack on somebody that came up. I won't tell her by name, but um she came to our first meeting and she couldn't even look us in the eye and introduce herself, but she came up to talk to. >> So this is what So thank you for your time. >> Thank you. >> Question. >> Thank you guys. >> Are any of our kids going to actual state fair? >> Yes. Tus will be doing a presentation on Friday, a live presentation and Ruby's stuff will be presented at >> state fair and does anybody >> and Carrie's stuff

019will be at state fair in the hall. >> So, >> okay. Any other questions for anybody? All the kids, please ask them a question. >> So, if not, we'll take our ducks and everything else. I do want to say because I know I know you and I have talked also outside of the last board meeting and so for all the youth in here as well. Uh you're absolutely correct. It's exciting to watch them grow uh and not just I'm talking in terms of age but actually standing up in front of from the community and want to express you know thank you but also the opportunities uh and we of all people here in the district get to see this firsthand and I'll say it again. I said the last time this organization is I'm greatly

020enjoying what I'm seeing you guys do with these kids. I mean absolutely wonderful. uh aspects of like 4. You talked about uh some of these things you're looking for. I know we have in the district opportunities through newsletters and those those kind of things. So, communicate to us a little bit and we can see what we can put in here to help get the word out. >> We plan on being at the back to school. >> Correct. 28th. >> Correct. >> Yeah. Things like this are definitely my favorite part about uh being on the school board is seeing uh you know feedback like this. So, thank all of you for coming in here and doing this. I'd like to thank Duck also. That's Yeah. >> All right. Well, thank you guys. Thank you. >> Oh,

021audience. Not sure why they want to stick around for the financial report. >> Good stuff. It's just coming up. >> I think the bard is more exciting. >> Okay, that'll bring us to your 6.0 financial report. All right. So, first of all, on here, there's the expenditures, credit card, and checklistings for June 2025. The July, >> the July ones are not um completed yet. I was going to do that today, set all the reports up and imminent visions had other plans. So, so you'll get those um next meeting. Um also on here is the plan for discrepancy in the 2324 audit. So, um, last month I received a letter from, um, the state saying they had not received our plan of action for a discrepancy that was in the audit that I thought was all

022taken care of. Um, it was for our um, you have I think TJ has the up there. It is for um reporting on the um gymnasium project. It was on our spreadsheet that we have for fixed assets and I had reported it incorrectly as fair market value estimate instead of the actual costs. That was corrected at the time. We went back and forth with the auditors and I went back and forth with um Brandon at the ESD who's really great at this at the fixed um financial the fixed assets and um walked through how we're supposed to record um the capital projects at that point. And so we fixed it there, but it was still in the letter that the auditors sent out in um October 30th saying that it was um even though it

023was corrected, they did have to say it was a a deficiency. So I was to come up with a plan for the state. And so you'll see the plan of action on there and this just needs board approval that this is the plan. Um so the district corrected the mistake. more knowledge surrounding the recording of capital assets will be obtained and the business office will consult an accountant regarding the fixed assets sheet to ensure generally accepted accounting principles are followed and then um time frame for for um the implementation we just said from the date of error moving forward. So, this is an action item and it needs to have board approval and signatures and then I need to send this to the state tomorrow. >> Okay. But it is not affect. >> So, we

024need a motion to approve the plan of action for Jules school district. >> I'll make a motion to approve the plan of action uh for the discrepancy in the audit. >> Dr. Smer motion. Do we have a second? >> I'll second. Don't clarify my pass. >> All in favor? >> I. >> All. Okay. >> Then the other thing I just wanted to talk about was late this afternoon we did receive our fourth quarter timber revenue. Um it came in at 1,486,37.17. That puts us at um this will be in the financials next month. Um this puts us at for the entire year 4,224,9547 which is roughly $2 million less than last year. >> Our last quarterly Thank you. >> Any other questions about the financials? Okay, that'll bring us to 7.0 principal report. >> Well,

025it's nice to meet everybody. I'm thankful to be here. Um, yeah. So, I just wanted to kind of start um just a little bit about me. Um, so I'm originally from uh South Central Indiana. I grew up in a place pretty similar to Juel. Actually, whenever I drive by, there's, you know, not as many mountains in Indiana, but definitely, you know, the agriculture and kind of the rolling hills and kind of the, you know, space that housing. It definitely kind of reminds me of where I grew up. So, it's kind of nice to take the drive here and remind me of home whenever I drive by. So, I'm just excited to be in this community. Um, the three out of the last four years I was at K12 schools, so that's kind of where my

026passion for that came from. Um, uh, the smallest school district I was at had about as many kids as Jewel, but in an area as big as, uh, I think the state they compare to is Delaware. So, it's a big island on Southeast Alaska. So, we had schools with about 10 kids and we had schools with, you know, I was at the big school with about 40 kids. So, that's K12. So, it's definitely neat. Um, but there are a lot of, uh, similarities that kind of drew me to Juel. Uh the big one was just the kind of community that I felt in Southeast was really close. Um you know I have training in like um evaluation systems and how to do balance assessments. But the stuff that I'm really excited to bring here are

027the kind of community values that kind of mesh with the school and the community um and just made it a really special place. Um kind of one really good example that I have is I came all the way from Washington. and I take the ferry from Bellingham and we get there and there's no cell service. I don't know where I'm supposed to be. And then we get there and say meet by the claw and it's this old growth uh timber claw that's about as big as those three pillars put together. It's huge. And so we get there and within about 20 minutes there's five or six uh people that work for the school that helped unload a U-Haul. And I'm moving there from Tacoma. So I'm like what's the catch? What's going to happen? This

028is like a scary movie. I'm going to wake up and it's going to be there. But, you know, there was no catch. And it was just um that's what kept people in a really remote isolated place was just kind of the community that was built around the school. And um as much as I'm excited about data and test scores and all that stuff, I think that's kind of what I'm really excited to bring here. So, um everybody I've met has been really supportive and has really big dreams for Google and I've met a lot of great teachers and students, a couple students. And what I'm really excited about too is just kind of telling the story that you all do. That was a really great presentation and I mean my eyes got a little sweaty.

029So I mean there's a lot of really good things happening here. So I'm just really excited to be a part of that. So um yeah, thanks for having me and I'm excited to meet you all throughout the year. So that's that. Um, as far as uh acknowledging new staff, I'm one, but we also have uh Suzanne Harris here and she is our new bed director and she's coming from School District with over 20 years of service. Um, she's also going to be taking on the role as preschool promise and special programs director. So, we're really lucky to have. Um, and then we have Cameron Gore. He's going to be our middle school humanities teacher and he just wrapped up his mers in arts and teaching um at secondary social studies with Lewis and Clark College.

030And then we have Bobby Sterling and she is coming to the district as our new K12 music teacher. She has over 30 years of music teaching experience and worked at multiple schools at the elementary, middle school, and high school levels. And then Christina Renville. Christina returns to the Jules school district as our lead preschool promise teacher and is working with the new prek promise director to make sure that the start of the school year uh for our prek students will be great. And then we have Will B will Batty um has moved to our PE and health uh world as our new physical education teacher for the district and he has been working hard over the summer to prepare his classes for students and is eager to begin. And then last but not least is

031Martha Stevens. um she has officially been hired on as a district a teacher and she'll begin her first official class in this new position starting on Tuesday, September 2nd. So that's really exciting. I was in Martha's interview and really that was one of the things that drew me to the district too is just watching these board meetings trying to learn as much as I could about the district and just you know I had never taken an ad class but I wanted to after watching her talk about it. So, um, you know, again, like just telling the story of the school. I mean, there's going to be plenty to tell with the egg program. So, I'm excited about that. Um, and then back to school night. Uh, Jules School District will be having a back to

032school night next Thursday, August 28th at 6 PM. So, staff and community partners will welcome back students with games, ice cream, and all of the information that's on this page needed for a successful year. Uh, we hope the families come out, meet their teachers, play some games, get your Blue Jay swag, have your questions related to registration, sports, or activities answered, have fun, and enjoy some ice cream. Overall, the goal is to build connections, share community information, and start the school year on a positive note. So excited about that. There's also going to be, I think, a kind of community around the 20th uh to meet me and all the other staff members here. So yeah, overall I just I've felt really supported and welcomed in this role and just appreciate everyone and you know,

033thanks for having me and I'm excited to move the mission forward here at the school. >> Thanks. >> Thank you. >> Thanks for coming down. >> Was a Wednesday night is the community. >> Yes. >> Y night. Okay. >> Is that the ice cream night? >> No, it's pizza couple weeks. >> We're doing pizza instead of spaghetti. Yeah. >> Thanks. >> Hey, Pepper. >> Yeah. >> All right. Thank you. Uh 8.0 is old business. We had none at this time to new business. 9.1 is policy review. And so I threw some of these on here. Uh for the most part, I won't go through them all. Questions. uh just revising our student fundraising activities. Uh also adding an AR for that as well. That is something that we have not had in the district. So

034we're including that which is basically a fundraising form for an activity request for um you're going to see computer technology. We've had this in district policy for quite some time. We're removing that one and we revising it with a new version of OSBA's recommendation. And let's see academic integrity. You're going to notice there's artificial intelligence uh word policies coming through also and so academic integrity. I was a little bit surprised after going through that we haven't had something in there but uh that the very first thing came to mind obviously think about AI. >> Yeah. >> And I want to be on the forefront with artificial intelligence uh through the district. So I've been working with Abby uh throughout the last year and over this year to make sure that our educators, our staff, our

035students are all going to be on top of the AI world as it continues to adjust. Uh the ones I do want to open a little bit more for conversation if you would like to have some is about the license policy and it's been on here for quite a while and so the current policy that's on there I would like to scratch that I have had multiple conversations last year. Uh I do not want to do exclusionary practices. OSBA does not want to do exclusionary practices. Organ health authority also does not want to go that route. Um, and you know, we talked about this very openly in public session, um, about how extreme sometimes the case may come through here in the district. Um, so I just want to be very clear. Yes, I have

036done my homework with all the different agencies I need to talk with. I'm going to reach out again to Oregon Health Authority once again. I made connections with them, I believe, November, December last year, and we continued into the spring. And I know understand the guidance. Uh what I'm express here in this is that if all possible we are keeping these kids in the building. That's what this draft I want to make sure I clear on this. That's what this draft policy is here. Obviously the board will make the approval on this one. Uh but what I have added in here is if we have persistent or extreme cases and I have made those phone calls and expressed what that is for our district. Um and I will say and I put down here student

037will be considered to have a persistent or extreme infestation if any of the following occurred. Uh so we have these three different uh contingencies here having live lice that are identified on three or more occasions within 14 calendar days so within two weeks uh despite treatment attempts. Uh number two would be a severe infestation is observed example 10 or more live lives during a screening at one time. Or another one is a student continues to in school with active life infestations despite documented education support and resource provision from a district. Um, and then we talked about exclusionary re-entry for persistent extreme cases. I did find a couple other school districts in Oregon. One is Roseberg School District that has some of this language, not this exact language in there about some exclusionary practices. Um, it's

038a risk for the district. I I mean that's very I want to make sure that's very clear that if the district were to go down this route is a risk for the district to do this. Uh, I expressed the severity of it's hard to express it. such a small district but the severity that we've had uh we have seen in the district in the last year or so uh and the effect that it has had in the classroom on individuals and on families and I also know what comes through my office in terms of u discussions and whatnot. I know what goes through our nurse and what goes through our health center um and and the information and guidance we have fit any hole every single time uh through this process. Um, and when I

039say extreme, I am talking about extreme situations. For the most part, 99% of the time, uh, we would never have to jump into this, but it's been a it's been rough. Um, it's been a rough, uh, environment. So, through my conversations with the state, whatnot, I'm expressing to them, uh, and they said they haven't heard anything quite like what we've had to see sometimes in the district. Uh, so I'm proposing something because, um, um, I'm not sure what else to do. Uh we are a small district of 115 students or so. Um and I hear from our families and this is one that continues to roar up and roar up and roar up. Um and I don't want to act on pressure at all. I do know that uh I do not want to lose

040families or students. Uh but when I'm having reoccurring cases after case after case after case um I don't know what else to put in them. uh we provide all resources possible and I feel like we didn't go beyond certain avenues and it's nothing is changing uh nothing is changing um so I asked the school board you know do you want me to try to find something a little more restricted that goes against my nature as an educator um and so um I felt the consensus let's see what's out there and so this is my proposal coming at you guys um we've never had an AR uh have a fertilized policy but I threw that in there also was explaining very clearly the steps what might uh with all strengths and purposes that we would never

041have to go down that route of exclusionary practices but it does come with risks because OSBA would not recognize this organ health authority also do against this as well so I'm not asking you obviously to pass it at all I just want you to take a look at it and give you this draft is your recommendation of this is if we're going to put something in yes this is what I and it's by far lengthier than it's ever been in the district's district. But I also want to make sure we don't leave anything uncovered here. So any So that's what that one is. I just want to make sure before we go into this beyond what you've already received earlier to look at this. Has there been has there been any staff issues with this

042over the last two years? Staff having to miss work or not staff. No, students. Yes. >> Other students. Yes. >> Okay. Any questions, discussion? My head's a Okay. 9.2 was the update to the uh current policies that just added main and updates to the policy procedures. 22 is my >> Okay. So that I know agenda that's just >> so the only only thing I would be asking if you could pass this tonight so we can just make sure we get this through. This is a sexual harassment complaint procedure. Just making sure that names reports and complaints of sex such harassment should be made to the following individuals. that references myself. Um, and then also Sam Samuel White here as the principal with the correction that my extension is 2422 and this is the same policy

043GBN JV R1 and then reverse JDA GBN typing but the same same policy. So again there's really nothing other than that. If we did get that passive clear motion all right motion to accept the policy GBN-jba- AR1 and JBA/GBN- AR1. >> Do we have a second? >> I'll second. >> Any discussion? All in favor? >> I opposed. >> Thank you. 10.0 superintendent report. >> Not much on this. I I was hoping to have more. This our property management person here who we've been working with has been really ill on the last Thursday, Friday. Uh we're supposed to meet again today and she's still ill. So, we're now scheduling for Wednesday. Uh the update basically is the uh new agreement that I have here that is still in draft form. It still looks like it's draft

044home, but uh we'll be going over this with the alum property uh individuals to make sure that we're in conjunction with their agreements with what they have for their contracts as well because they have their contract through their property management company and this is an addendum to their contract as well. So there's not much has changed in this one. If anybody, you know, the board would like to see this, that's fine. Uh I need to go through this with the property management commission. It's all clear. And then the idea is to set some time out so people who are living in our campus here that we can schedule a date when they're going to come out. They like to make a face-toface introduction to all the individuals here in the district who are residing in

045district housing. Um so they can walk through this process of what this is what we look like as a transition. So so just wanted to give you a heads up that that is still continuing to move forward here. >> Yep. 10.2. Okay. And uh as uh Mr. White had mentioned uh so we've gone through the process of the agricultural program in the district program of study that was officially approved I believe last Wednesday by or department of education. Um so it was quite the process. It was um not painful. It was just timeconuming to go through the whole aspect of it. Uh we did do interviews uh for the position obviously I mentioned at the board when that was taking place. I think I did or could have been the advisory committee. They get everybody

046mixed up sometimes, but uh we have the advisory committee that was part of that process. Uh they vetted any of the applicants that came through and gave yes or no to the district to go ahead and vet uh the candidates through an interview process. So we went through that process um and we made the offer. It was accepted by the Stevens and so the schedule was all built ready to go. Um OD we had to get the application process approved. They did as I said last Wednesday and I was on the phone today with TSPC making sure that the lensure between OD approval and TSPC is going to allow her to have that license ready to go come September 2nd and that will be simple application we're going to work on this week and we'll

047be good to go. So that's that's where we're at and from that point forward then we're just going to be talking about making sure that that license turns into a fulltime license like you had with me for the superintendent position for the air time. So other than that uh it has no effect on the construction program as you mentioned it is an overarching EOS program of study for the district uh with the construction aspect underneath it but it does not change that aspect of the construction and we also had some individuals come in professional taking a look at the welding station in there and looking at the revitalization grant with northwest regional ESD a gentleman's coming out Wednesday to talk about what that revitalization grant might look like in conjunction with a construction and throwing

048in some the welding and that welding station after taking a look at it is actually in pretty darn good shape. You're under the impression it may not be but it's in pretty good shape. So visioning out what that might look like to be able to incorporate that into the construction area. So in my words things are looking I'm going to use a punt here. Pretty rosy 11.0 0 audience qualifications. It is 12.0 board of directors time. Sorry, director. >> I'm sorry I was late. Nice to meet you. >> Yeah, school's not too far around the corner here.
