Motion passed. >> Fiscal
004overview. Lace fee. >> Okay. Um, our ending fund balance for this fiscal year looks to be around 1.7 million. Estimated ending fund balance. Um, 1.4 of course that's a little overundering, but that's that's with us getting everything we want. Um, that's with pre- audit figures, of course. So, I'll be done next week at the latest with all of my audit prep. Um, auditors will be here in two weeks. Um, that will put us ahead way ahead of last year, so that'll be nice. Uh, I'm paying off the demolition, the personal loan that we had. We're doing that this August so we can finally have some debt go away. Um, we did pretty well on that. I mean, it was a 15-year loan. Would that take us 5 years probably, but we were a little conscious
005on that. I didn't want to just dump it all. Um, and so everything else at this point looks good. I've got all payroll for the year plugged in. I've done a lot of things ahead um in prep for being more virtual for for a little bit here soon, but um everything's going smoothly at this moment. So, so far we're looking good. We've gotten the floors, we've got, you know, all the important things that we need to start the school and yeah, so far. >> Great. Any questions for now? Moving on to superintendent report. Um, if you have not seen, there is a portion of the greenhouse sitting over there. Um, and we're waiting for PPNL to swing the electricity that goes across to Harris Street. So, from where from the pole outside Harris Street, that's
006going to be moved over to is it fifth, Dan? To fifth street. So, it'll go up over the top of the actual parking lot. Um because we were way too close to the structure or the structure is way too close to electricity. So people we could we had to stop construction of the greenhouse until they swing that which they hopefully will do this week. That's the that's tenative plan and then the greenhouse doesn't have much left on to do um the shell um and a couple other things. So I think that you know hopefully they will have hopefully we'll be complete before school starts. I think that that's tenatively the plan and um should should happen. We have all of um Maple is is done. Um we have sixth grade lockers, seventh grade lockers, and
007eighth grade lockers. Um left the fifth grade lockers over there. So we now have lockers for 5 through 12 with a cell phone policy. Um so that that will take care of those that situation. Um so when we needed we needed a a policy, not only did you need the cell phone policy, but you had to have a storage policy. So you you probably read both. Um there will be and and I'll go over that. Um well, there are also lock boxes in classrooms. So those that do not want to put their cell phone in their locker inside of their inside of their backpack or in their locker cuz as soon as before they enter the doors, they got to be off. So they're either going to be in one of two places. If they
008don't like the idea of keeping it in their locker because maybe they don't want to open their locker during the day, then they can take it to their first period teacher. And and we have lock boxes, cell phone lock boxes, which they can put in in there. So they they have one of two options. So that that and that's that's their only option. Uh doesn't stay on person. Fifth graders um will can do the same thing preferably in the teacher lock box, but it doesn't really matter. And then the third, fourth, fourth, um third, second, etc. have one lock box. So they'll have to take it over. Hopefully they don't bring them. Um and that's the whole point. Don't bring your don't bring your cell phones. um first, second, and third graders really. Um I
009don't think they really should have one, but they will. Um and so we'll have one lock box in a first grade classroom, second grade classroom. They'll have to take it over there or they can put it in the in the office. I really didn't want the office personnel to have to deal with any cell phones except the ones that are confiscated. So, and though that that's kind of really the only office cell phones that we really wanted. I don't want them to take them up there so we don't have to deal with that in the morning or in the afternoon. Um, so that's so that's where the cell phones have to go. Like I said, they can't be on their person. Um, they I'm I'm thinking that um some of those kids will decide not
010to bring them, but they can al you know, if they're riding the bus um to and from school, completely legal. Um so and and that because there's no teacher on duty and that's the whole point. If there is a teacher on duty, there are no cell phones. So anytime there's not a teacher on duty, they can have cell phones. So that's that's the that the whole point from bell to bell instructional time. So but they can still have them coming from and going to school. Um so they so that's why they may choose to have them or they're playing, you know, they're playing sports afterwards or doing something at that they actually need one to call mom and dad or whatever. So that's that's how that will work. Um and then all of our floors
011um we have walk-in carpets are all done in the maple and we're pressed. Um the new the new gym floor here. The wing on the newest wing has a new uh to the actual double doors. There's there's a new floor in that area where the where the serving area is and then the math classroom has been changed out and Annie's classroom has been changed out. So that whole wing now is new as far as flooring. Um, other than that, and then like I said, I'll go over the I'll go over the uh uh Z the ZCS thing um when we when we get to that point. And I think, you know, we're um in service is the 25th, Monday the 25th, 2 weeks from today. Um if if we are going to have a lunchon
012on Thursday the 28th. Um I decided to move it over here cuz that's where we're going to be that's where who the people that actually serve the lunch and I didn't want to have to h have the cafeteria girls do the work. I kind of want to keep them away from doing the work. Um so we'll do the work. Um so we're going to have it here. So, if you'd like to come in and have lunch on T on Thursday, the 28th, come on in. Might even want you might even want to sit next to the really hot barbecue. It was about 200° last year. Um, it's a little bit warm. Um, if you added that to today's heat, it would be unbearable. So, anyway, um, you are welcome to come in if you would
013like. And then, of course, school starts on the 1st. Um, and we will do the same thing. I don't know. I know sixth graders only here at Maple, but I don't Is it ninth grade only? No, they all go. Okay. Okay. So, yeah. So, and then and then kindergarten, slow start, right? >> Yeah. Yeah. Slow slow start kindergarten, right? >> And preschool. Yeah. Yeah. So, so that so that's how that will kick off for that first week. And that's what I have. >> Right. Question. Done. Moving on to the engineering. >> Okay. So, um we had one bit um which I knew that would be the case. Um and uh because we scared off a couple others. So I and that's and that's not a bad thing. Um so I wanted to go a specific
014way on this bid. I wanted to go CG, which means I immediately hire a contractor. Okay? Or or the the people I hired to do this thing hires a contractor. So they're in the midst of this whole thing. So, they will put out the RFP immediately. Um, they're doing that as as we speak. Um, they will we will start working with the contractor immediately rather than waiting. Um, and the other two people that came for the visit wanted the hard bit only and hard bit only means that they wanted they're going to put out a price only for this part portion of it. And then I then have to go out and find another in or all the contractors as subcontractors. And this allows me to have a project manager plus myself um working on
015it with with Stephen Chase. Um I've worked with them before and just here's some numbers. Um they've done 200 projects in United school districts. 61% of all um seismic they've done. So over the last since 2009 they've done 61% of all of all seismics in the state of Oregon. Um and that's including the the municipals. So, we're going with a very known quantity. Um, and that's and they're exactly who I wanted to go with because I know them well. Um, and they will treat us well and they'll find the right contractors. So, that's that. And like I said, we'll be right we'll be in the midst of it. Um and they will be here in September um at this board meeting to show video you know show some things um where well there are work
016um and then by October we'll have a contractor on board um and then we will start planning process and then starting and then hopefully have a scheduled timeline by I think December 1st. That's the plan. Um and that way we know exactly when they'll come in and exactly when they'll when they'll go out. So, and and they will be they'll be they'll be very close to timeline. So, that's that's where we're at. Um, and like I said, I think we'll be in pretty good shape. I'm I'm pretty sure um Stephen Chase is going to come see me again in the next couple weeks. If this is going to be a two two project, two-part project or one and I think it um it looks like now because they're going to do the gym in this
017first part, this is probably going to be a one-part project. what initially I thought maybe they might do the exteriors and not the gym. They're going to fortify the gym too with this amount of money. So this sounds to me like it's going to be a one a one stock shop. So >> nice. >> So there we are. Student handbook. Now it's time. Now is the time. Yeah, I do have some um they're just uh grammatical typos. >> Okay. >> Whatever. I did highlight them. >> Okay. >> Um you highlight them for me. >> Good. >> You don't even have to hunt for over there. Yes, indeed. Uh let's see. Those are typos. Um the um computer use in the Myrtle Crest one. It lays out um unacceptable uses of the network include. >> Mhm.
018>> And then student responsibilities include that lays it out really good. I think explains everything, but it's not in the high school one. I I think that part should be put in the high school one too. >> Oh, the in the >> to clarify >> the person and internet access >> computer use. See highlighted. >> Yeah. And and that and so computer use the the media right basically is the same one. That's where the cell phone actually goes into also for personal. So that that's it. So the actual cell phone policy and storage will be as an addendum to that to that portion. So yes, we yes that that's a great idea. Uh my only other point on my crest list was there's no page numbers that well I >> you know that's >> I
019can tell you that um >> after my 30 or 40 hours trying to format that. So, so the OSBA the OSBA sends us a draft, okay? Um, of of of verbiage, right? >> And and things to put in and and don't and please don't edit, right? So that So, but the edits are because they're going to have a policy that, you know, this policy matches with this with this portion of the handbook. So, if you read it, you're reading two sides of this formatting situation, which I would have never gotten through. Um, I could do I could actually do one side and edit and change verbage, but I couldn't. But I, you know, either you either deleted all the the policy or you didn't. So, I can understand where where cuz Kaylee did did all
020the fine work for us, formatting at the end after we changed or or done done whatever. I took a couple things out that didn't pertain to the middle school. I'm sure I'm sure Ally did the same thing. It didn't because they're they're generic and they're K12. So when we went to each building then you know Ally had what would pertain to K5. I had what pertain and then Jen would have K8 but Jen did the athletic one. I did and then Haley would have 912. So pages we just got to go back and reformat and put it in. But that's but thank you. >> Okay. >> We will get that done. >> Okay. >> And that does not need board approval. Okay. is trying to when I change that then that's >> I'm just I'm
021just saying >> okay do I dare ask about the next one then go ahead >> uh dress coat >> okay >> can we include no pajamas pants or one piece suits >> well yeah um that that's that's no >> and and here's why because We cannot tell a kid they cannot come a child they cannot come to school because that's all they have to wear. Now can we ask them to can we ask get into our wardrobes and give them something? Yes. And we try to um we honestly do try to but in some situations I cannot forbid a kid from coming to school because he or she only has pajamas to wear. I understand exactly what you're saying, Terry. I I agree. I'm old school also and I just turn around. Um, but it's
022it's I I cannot tell a child that they cannot come to school because they have nothing other than pajamas. And and I like I said I I'm I'm with you, but it it it's just not prescribed. >> Okay. >> So, but I I understand exactly what you're saying. I can tell I can tell a teacher they can't. >> Oh, well, that's good. >> Okay. Yeah. >> Well, there you go. I mean we but but I'm saying we can do that. We can do that but but for a child we can't go to the house and say hey you know is this all that you know because I'm not going to ask them is that all you have to wear >> but I am going to ask could we get you pair of jeans or and
023I all the same way I mean they have their clothes closet we have ours right can we get some can we get something for you and they have the option of saying no so but I'm not ever going to protect them from coming to school. Okay. >> Okay. Next aspect. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Um and the high school's just I have one concern and there's probably a reason behind it too, but um validictorian and saludiatoran when they give a speech at graduation, can it be in English? >> Well, it was >> kind of >> Yes. Um but again um no we can't prohibit someone from using their native tongue. Um and in fact you know she did I thought she did a pretty good job of doing the English portion of of that particular
024speech. And yes she did use you know she she being Hispanic etc etc and probably a second generation Hispanic I'm guessing. um you know that's that's their that's what they speak at home and I would I would almost guarantee you that the parents who she was speaking to and that and that family would not be able to understand it if it had been in in English they they do not speak any English she is actually the person that comes and talks for them because that novel I'm period and then they don't try to and they don't want to that's their culture and and they're you know that's and and and so they're first generation right and and and I thought she did an elegant job of doing that. So so that's the reason and the
025reason being is that parents speak nuts and and she's done a great job being bilingual um and is going to be very successful using probably the second language >> that's pretty common in our area too. >> Yeah. Yeah. And and so it would be great, but it wouldn't be something that you could, you know, that you would prescribe and say, "Hey, can you just do this in English?" You know, so it's just like a song that, you know, if that that can go by both ways, um that some speak in Spanish and some, you know, some some sing in in English. Um because we have a lot of those stars right now, pop stars that do both and go in and out of both languages. So no. Um and it's just bugs that it's just
026because of culture. I figured there was a reason some point or Yeah. Just pointing it out. >> Okay. I appreciate it. >> Okay, that's all I got. >> Thank you. >> Right. Any other questions about the pen? >> I have a few. >> Um I did not print it out and highlight, but I have a few things I can send to car to me. >> Okay, sounds good. Um, and those are just um things where it's like in the high school handbook it references grade six I believe. >> There you go. Okay. Yeah. >> But then the there were two bigger things where in the Maple Middle School it um it doesn't talk about uh the students student suicide prevention program that it talks about in the Myrtle Point High School. And I think that
027>> you have it. >> Okay. It just needs to be it the same exact one. So, we just need to add two. >> Yeah, that's what I I was hoping because um a bigger or small >> and we and we have two people that do the actually we had three but we have two um so that does and and so does um >> yeah. Yeah. >> But I know Kayleie and I are also trained. Um, and then the other one, um, it was something that was listed in the Myrtle Crest, um, about reporting of child abuse, and that was not, um, listed specifically in the Maple or Myrtle Point High School. Um, and I thought that would be and I don't remember um exactly what section it was, but I I can figure that um
028like what page it was in the Myrtle Crest. I just thought that >> process of >> Yeah, that um if teachers or anyone that works um in the facilities that is a mandatory >> mandatory. Yeah. Um, I just think that with how much child abuse is out there, it's important to put that out and >> easy >> have that for both the high school and the make school. >> And those were the two things. >> And it could be it could be the same verbiage. >> Yeah. Same verbage. Just Yeah. Making sure that everyone sees it. >> Okay. >> From all the schools. >> Okay. >> Right. >> Those are easy. Yes. Put in. >> Just don't reform in. >> Yeah. >> No. I was No, no, >> it's it's now it's now in a
029word document. >> So add I will >> I knew people were going to make changes and every time I do it >> because I used the wrong one to start with. >> And FYI those that this document is a draft. I mean we're we're we're we're going with it, right? because that's what we're that's what but if we come up against things that we did not that you know those kind of situations where it just it doesn't work for my point or whatever then then we will do edits um and and I would always tell you if we if there's some kind of edit and and it's not it cannot an edit cannot be something that would go against board policy nor is it going to go against any any other kind of policy so
030but it would be something maybe we had because we didn't it didn't you know we need needed something in there. So, that's that those could happen, but I don't see it happening right away. >> Any other questions about the student? >> I just had to put a question on. >> It's the world the parent athlete handbook that we did. I think it's a great idea to But I was wondering, are we going to give one of these to every coach to sign so they >> We have a coach's handbook. >> Okay. It's so they know that if somebody gets in trouble at school, they're not Yeah. meeting that night. Yes. Yes. Yes. >> Yep. Absolutely. >> And then um is this only covered during school, right? So it's not like >> you always say a
031season. >> Season. So if you get in trouble in track, carry over to fall or is it done? >> Well, it depends on what they're in trouble for cuz I I read >> Yeah. I just was I didn't know if it ended. You know, the season ends and we just >> It would be the next season according to that. It said somewhere in there about OSA year, but then it talked about carryover, too. So, I was like, >> so because if you got in trouble on track, let's say, with less than 3 weeks to go, less than 21 days to go in the season, >> it' be a dismissal and so you would miss districts and state for sure. So, there would be your required misses, right? So, you would start fresh in the >>
032if you got a trouble that stayed >> at then that would impact you. Yes. Carry over to the next >> to miss your first football game or cross country meet or >> that's why it should be. I just >> Well, it was like under the was it the drug and alcohol policies though where it was like first offense is 21 days and then like second offense is like the rest of that season and then into the next >> and then third offense is like three seasons whether it's >> and that and that would carry on into the into the next. If you only have one kid that a kid that only does one sport, does that carry a clear over to the >> That's a good question. >> Next sport or do they >> do
033seasons? >> If you only play If you What if you only played football and then you came out normally don't do track or something but then oh I'm going to do track so I get rid of these? >> That's that's what they would do >> and then quit as soon as it's over. >> That's what they would do. Um I mean at some point part of this is kind of parenting a little bit, right? But we do have to talk about it as much as we can. Um, if it was a single sport athlete, but yeah, I mean the logical thing would be is you would miss next year come your season. >> Go ahead. Yep. >> Now, do we have like a good communication in place to where like if if a coach doesn't
034work at the school like they will know for sure that that kid is in trouble. Absolutely. >> I think >> All right, any more questions? Okay, let's move on. Annual designations? Got Steve Perkins is the chief administration administrative officer. Uh Ly budget officer Qua Bank and LGIP and First Community Credit Union for the depositories. Uh authorization to sign custodian of funds is Steve Carrie and Lacy. Auditor of record is Uqua Valley Financials. Attorney of record Garrett Herman. Insurance agent of record, Zolisi Insurance Agency, newspaper of record is Myrtle Point Herald. Any questions about those? Okay, moving on. Cell phone policies. >> So, obviously, like I said before, can't have them um on nothing and they can't have them on person. So the they will they either going to put them in their locker in a
035backpack or just in their locker or they're going to check them into their first period class which means at the end of the day they you know they're going to have to go back to that first period class to get them. Um we and we have the the locking system. So that it goes twofold. Um you know we have to have the we had to have the storage policy in there also where they can store them right and there's only two options in your locker or in the classroom. No other options. Um and and then the you know if if some child at the grade school I guess you know they if they have to take it to the to the office we can deal with it. They have we have a lock box in
036in all offices. Um but high school, middle school, there's no there's no reason for that. Um we we have locks on lockers for a reason. Um and you know we had so that that's the reason we bought lockers and and and then have locks on each one of them. Um that could be a struggle for some. Opening lockers is a struggle, FYI. Um, and if they can't get their locker open or someone like one of my granddaughters, I don't want a locker. Okay, that's fine. You don't have to have a locker. You have one assigned to you. What that means that you're going to take your phone, first of all, you're not going to bring it. Um, but if you happen to, then you're going to take it to your first grade teacher. Period. So
037that so that I mean, so that's our that's the policy. Um, and it it was a long time coming. Um, and I think it and I said that includes earbuds, anything that can attach to that personal device. And unfortunately, this goes too. Smart watches go too. I've never seen smart glasses, but they're part of the policy. I didn't even know they were there. Um, so now we have smart glasses. So, it it's going to I think this right here is going to be the biggest issue. Um, I don't know how many kids have them. Um, but we're they're going to have to check those in. And that's that's unfortunate, but that's the law. Um, and so so that so that's our policy. Um, it made it pretty easy. They are going to come up. We
038I opted to say I wanted to start day one. Um, it has to go into effect on Octo in the end of October. Um, so you have to have a policy by the by by the end of October and then go into effect. I said, why do that? No, we're we're because it would be a real hassle to not go day one. Um, so you cannot have discipline. I mean, you can't have suspension because of having cell phones. I mean, so it's going to be detention after detention after detention. But the suspensions are going to come from what? Insubordination. If you don't give me your cell phone after I ask once, >> we're insubordinate. If I ask twice now we have suspension. Okay. So so the suspensions are going to be not because of the
039cell phone. That doesn't matter. I mean all all we can do for that is after after time two we confiscate. First one we do not confiscate. It just goes to their lock goes to where they belong. Okay. That's and then the second one we confiscate. We hand at hand the kid the phone at the end of the day. From that time on it's confiscate. Parents have to come get it. So that's from from three through infinity, right? Um, so if kids just aren't learning, then parents are just going to have to keep coming and getting their cell phone. But like I said, there's no there's no other than detention, there's no loss of class time. The loss of class time will result from those that say, "You're not taking my effing phone." And that's what
040they're going to say. >> I have a question about policies that are new like this. Um, this cell phone policy is going to be a like a signed contract from parent and student upon enrollment. How is this working? Is it >> It's part of the handbook. >> Okay. >> Uh, and and each kid, you know, they they have the handbook. We'll have them bring back a, you know, a signed copy and >> whether or not they bring it back doesn't matter, >> right? But um but we are going to have them have a signature page with the handbook so they know that they know the policyy's out there. We will prescribe very heavily in our first two days of school. Um you know in this one this school for sure um it'll be a 30
041minute lecture of we're not bringing cell phones and if you are we're doing this this and this and so they'll so yes twofold kids are going to get the message. >> Yeah. I'm wondering about parents. So upon enrollment cuz some of us we can enroll through the portal. Right. >> Right. >> And some parents will have to come in to enroll. So are we going to put it can we um >> we'll send it home with kids. One um and then two um I I I think we'll probably put out an alert or two >> saying >> on um websites. >> Well Facebook Facebook one and then website's already on it's already on the website. our cell phone is already in the website and then sending messages to parents like hey if it we would
042really appreciate it second third fourth graders if you did not send your cell phone with and here's what we have to do um otherwise so yeah you know it's going to be lesson learned and it's going to take 3 weeks to be lesson learned >> yeah I was going to say like the first week >> day one it's not no it's going to yeah >> and there'll be there'll be some minor flexibility early minor Um, and then it won't be very minor after, you know, after that. And like I said, if they're just willing to hand you the phone because they had it in their pocket, fine. Not very smart, but fine. But but it's it's the problem's going to be you're not getting it. >> That that's that's where the I said, so when
043they say no discipline for cell phones, that is absolutely correct. I mean that's you know that's just gonna you're gonna spend lunch you know thinking about not having but when it's going to happen when you're not getting my cell phone because that's that's where you know like Jen and I last there's just kids you're not giving my cell phone well then don't bring it but and so it takes it takes a while to to get >> what if you get the parents to say I'm working I'm not coming to pick up the phone >> then guess what we had we had a couple say they can get it next week and that was great because we had it for for a or two.

So, I liked walking in here and it's clean and like I said, when I walked in, it kind of feels like school already. Goes by really fast. Thank you, Steve, for um being the foot on the gas pedal to get all this done. >> It's um >> It was Dan. It's well Dan also and everybody that and admins but you this is great. There's been so much that has been accomplished um for the health and welfare of the district as far as buildings and maintenance and grounds and um it's looking good and it feels really positive to be moving in that direction.
048Um especially with new policies in place. I kind of feel like um the last couple years there's been so much going on um the the postcoavid like trying to tiptoe around things and not hurt anybody's feelings and then the mask and and everything. It's kind of like rules kind of went out the window and everybody was like extra sensitive and kind of you know rules were mushy for a few years. So, it's nice to see some policy on board that we can all agree on and kind of move forward with getting kids lined back up in and learning and have some sense of direction. That's pretty solid. So, thank you guys. >> Eric, >> um the schools are great and all that, but I was more impressed when we paid our debt off. I mean,
049a couple years ago, there wasn't really a good answer of how we were going to do that. we're all kind of holding our breaths about how we were gonna address that and it was kind of just a side note today and that reflects the help that Steve's been to the district. So I I'm glad to move on from that page and start a new one. So >> yes, Justin, >> I agree with all that. Good to um get that paid off for sure and just excited to see the this proposal to get the pool done going. That's going to be awesome to get it all cleaned up and just excited for school to start and I like this cell phone policy and athletic handbook's great for keep everybody accountable. So, thank you >> also agree.
050I like the handbook idea lays out the rules. Everybody knows what's going to happen if or when or not even. So I like that a lot and um good good work went into it. A lot of effort even went out page >> but that was fault like they had numbers in their triple. It was easier just to remove the numbers and not glad to see new school year. Got good staff and and teachers and all. So looking forward to good year. >> Yeah, Julie. >> Um all three of my kids are really excited for school to start. And I think that goes to um how great a job the administration and teachers have done in making um a great environment for the kids for learning and friendships and um being here on a day day-to-day
051basis. So just want to thank the administrators and teachers because I'm ready for those kids. >> All right. Um, so the handbook, I just want to say thank you to all you guys putting in all that work because I know that takes a lot of work. >> Kaylee all >> Thank you, Kaylee. Um, and then paying off the debt. That's amazing. That's awesome. It's nice to see actual movement on the greenhouse maybe this year. Um, also, so I do work with other people who have kids in other districts and I got to say our online registration is super easy and listening to them complain or have to go in to register their kids. It's like, oh, I did fine in 15 minutes, both my kids. So, I got to say that's that's really nice. And
052um, just like the schools are looking really great. So, and with that, we can adjourn the meeting. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. I already know the engineering. is the
