001we are going to um stand up for the Pledge of Allegiance but I need to tell you that this is being recorded so please rise for the pledge of allegiance to the of the United States of America and to the repu for which it stands one nation under God indivisible with jce we have a lot of visitors today like to welcome here um so any awards recognition or correspondence oh yeah do real so Bridget's here Justin's here I'm here Jared's here Harry's here and here I should leave you guys sit here any thank youa any award recognition and correspondence no okay any adjustments to the agenda I know that we do have one actually 8 point c tech and then we're going to add that as an action item down to the bottom at 10.3
002and then we have public comments on non-agenda items just reminder that public comment is set for is it three minutes three minutes so our first one is Rebecca Jones do from here if you can talk loud enough go for it oh girl J full in children yeah actually she you have to come forward because you're actually addressing the board thank uh my name is Rebecca Jones I'm a parent of students in ours district and I'm here to express concerns regarding three issues first is our policy JF cf- AR which addresses heing harassment intimidation Etc our policy states that these behaviors will not be tolerated but there's no being saving as to what will happen when an incident has been identified and verified just that the principal SL building administrator will give the complaintant a written
003report of findings and recommend consequences if one is unhappy with the decision the complaint can be moved up the line within 10 working days to the superintendent who is then to give a decision in writing to the IND individual if you're unhappy with that then you have 10 working days to bring the complaint to the board they are to review it within 20 days however the public complaint policy KL stat that you have up to two years to submit your complaint apparently a complaint against General matters gets more time than a complaint against about bullying do we really as a district believe we should so strictly limit the timeline for asking for help in a bullying hazing harassment situation what purpose does this policy serve if it does not work to actually protect the victims
004and solve the problem not just say sorry you missed your 10day window secondly even though there are general policies regarding student Behavior there is little to no consistency in how discipline is handed out the third concern is in regards to staff response to potential infection control/ bloodborne pathogen incidents these are addressed in policy ebaa it says that there will be an exposure control plan that will be reviewed annually and updated as needed further it says all staff will be trained annually on this the policy stfe the staff will behave as though all direct com contact with human blood and bodily fluids is known to be infectious for bloodborne pathogens I was unable to actually locate an exposure control plan anywhere on the district website with an explanation of what those steps are um to be
005taken to investigate and document the incident since this is a long-standing OSHA regulation both on federal and state level I'm sure it exists somewhere but it's obviously difficult to find because these procedures were not followed when my son had an exposure incident during school hours recently unfortunately I'm being told I missed my window of time to bring a complaint to the board even though the policy the K policy states if it is unresolved after 10 working days of the receipt of the complaint by the superintendent the complaint complainant May appeal to the board so instead I'm here expressing General concerns thank you for your time and allowing me to speak thank you thank you and then we have a second uh Heather West Fall um I'm here today because well for one I I think
006definitely we all need to be more involved in what goes on so that we can speak our voices and um I'm just concerned with you know we pulled our kids out of school a couple years ago and then we like the direction that things were going but I want to make sure that my kids are safe in school and that if there's an incident like what happened that there is consequences hard consequences so that I mean otherwise there's no reason for any type of bullying to stop like there has got to be some type of rule that says this type of things are not okay not okay and without consequences nothing changes so I want to make sure that my kids are safe when they're at the school and they're doing very well in school
007and they like being around friends I would like to keep them in school but I don't want to worry that my kids are going to get bullied and have you know a situation like this because there's nothing you know I know that there's no stopping a kid from doing something like this but there has to be consequences it has to thank you okay so moving on to the consent agenda I'm entertained looking to approve the consent Agenda One on the real quick on the one it says I call the meeting to order it say it's 5:30 the special meeting we had last time in the notes on the minutes yeah I'll adjust that thank you with an adjustment to changeing the time thank you other than that I I appr make a motion to approve
008the consent agenda with that correction yep second okay all in favor say I I I I all against same name okay thisal overview okay I want to remind you that organ ethics commission will be emailing all of you shortly the our survey will be opening up so it's not spam or junk um I will find exactly who it's brought and then I'll just email all of you or I'll have K email you here look for this it's from this like you're you know done um we have I believe until tax day April 15th so it should open up March 15th and it's the annual we do it annually and so just kind of look at out for that but I'll email you exactly who it's from um the judicial and so that way you can
009keep your eyes out and it will go to your mpsd email I believe um we received 200,000 more or we are receiving 200,000 more State School fund this year that's an adjustment and then next year that bumps up another over 400,000 um so that's good news we are over 1 million for an IND F balance and then I'm starting our budget process I opened up my provisional and started that process and so I will I talked to Steve and we will budget from kind of what we currently are right now that we were're pretty safe any questions for L moving forward superintendent report I wanted to highlight that we had a dark to light training for all staff um on the 28th which is sexual abuse um training for all all staff on um we
010had at mer Crest um and that going over what we just what these people just talked about we are going we are putting a brand new um student handbook in place uh which we're all putting together and using the osba as a model or a template and then um which will Define consequences Etc um we're also putting a um very stringent uh AC athletic handbook together um which midle point doesn't really has one but it's um it's old had not been has not been um looked at for some time so we're and we're using models from different schools um so that we're also going to put that in place uh we will work on it and it'll be adopted um hopefully those will be adopted in August before the school starts so those so there'll
011be athletic handbook and a student discipline handbook for all three schools um and all and obviously they they will all be a little different for for grade levels um and then we all we're also putting together a we didn't know we had a bus accident recently um but we we also we have we have protocols and procedures but we're defining those so we know exactly who's who's making a phone call to who etc etc etc uh in this situation um there were five kids on the bus three of them have to be my grandchildren um and uh one of one of the Sprouts one one Sprout and one other so there were five kids or actually six kids on the bus two of the Clements um and no injuries um thank goodness U but like
012I said it was in County in in the county so but the responding police was the city uh so there's just a lot of things that we need to get together with um in the law enforcement Etc um when you dial 911 what really happens um so that that we're putting that stuff together also uh because we've had two accidents in the last couple years one coming from uh on the powers Highway uh with a truck that ran into our bus um so you know and again no injuries and that's that's been the fortunate thing but again we just need to make sure that we have everything in place in case it were to happen again um and in case somebody actually did get hurt so that those are the things that uh that I
013have to report on any questions for Steve enrollment report Carri we're just hanging in there guys um we've lost a couple kids at both schools um and then we gained a couple at at mle or at request sorry but the numbers still where we talked about last and then evaluation of Perkins we did an evaluation and I have to here so the board is proud of superintendent Steve perkins's progress this year especially with the opening of maple middle school has focused on building collaborative relationships with teachers staff in the community has boosted stakeholders satisfaction and strengthen commitment to the district's Vision superintendent Perkins is strong advocate for Rural School District all right anything else anybody wants to add for that any second reading of policy update to GB na a a JF JH FF GC
014a a n j h FF GB n a a any questions about those policy updates okay um I'm reading for was a lot of information I do uh always try to pay attention to and I know we aren't responding to public comment um but questions around timelines Union on the State Board of Education I know where the conversation comes when we talk about two years and why it said it two years um and this is saying there are osba recommendations around these timelines um I am a huge advocate for um making sure that there's always an opportunity and so are if we miss a window if we miss a window for a family is there any appeals process or any systems outside of this I don't think there is in the SE for clarification this
015is what it is um because the 10-day window is really thored um for a family coming forward you know sometimes it takes us quite a while to process and figure out and negotiate the system so I um in my own work on state board of education do really try to push for uh timelines that are responsive the family and the PES that we're all keeping up with so if this policy pass is there anytime to come back and review can you work outside of osba recommendations for what works for the school school district just trying to be really informed can you work outside of them no no um that they're they're the state um they're they make basically state law through you know through the and and then leg then it goes through legislation but
016um no they are the know they they are the attorneys basically for that do policy um some policy will come like I said they will recommend it to the to the state and and then it may change in legislation um in in a session but um they no they are the policy I just wanted to ask those questions I know with the State Board of Education they do get legislation and we have to set the rules yeah on that um but I did want to always Advocate as best can yeah any other questions regarding those policy dates okay first reading of policy dbea any questions regarding that policy looks like they're changing some just the numbers just just just the number of members that have to be present to to represent a uh a forum
017during during budget budget committee okay with us it's eight since we have seven board members yeah any questions regarding the first reading of that policy okay to Cy Tech so this is um for cabling at the high school um for more cameras um throughout the throughout the campus including um we're going to try to well once we get the uh Greenhouse up there'll be electricity to that um then we can put a camera outside on the greenhouse to to the ACT to the parking lot um but this is all cabling this is siia money um for safety uh going along with it you know it is idea of cabling or the cameras and fencing all the same so this is siia dollars that we have um that we're using to wrap up all of the
018safety issues that we've had and and again more fencing more fencing to be done um next year and that will be the track is and when we when we get that when that job is and and they're out of there um then the track will be the next one that'll be fenced they have we have done some improvements at at mle Prest um the high school is as fence as you can get it um so that that would be the last part of the fencing will be up at the up there then forth building is inclusive so we don't have any fencing until kids are in so that's it this is c i cabling for for more video at the high school more coverage so it says 40 how many is there currently yeah yeah
019and you can hear as well on these ones speaker and speaker drops are for like the Pas right now so that they can actually hear the announcements or whatever else is going on in the Breezeway okay which they can't right now so so the outside no not not for that so is there somebody in each School keeping track of all these monitors and cameras at all times or how there's there's yeah there are um each principal has a has cameras um we have cameras in the front in our front office so so others um our Our IT person has a has every camera in the district um so if something were to happen not you're not monitoring at 24/7 obviously but if something were to happen um and it's then then we can go back
020to those cameras um to look to see what you know what may have what what may have happened okay so yeah and we don't have and we do not have no good coverage at the high school right now who who picked 40 spots what's that the 40 spots um I think Dan and um Kaylee had a lot to do with um where where they where they want them and and then I said and obviously uh I think we're going to two of those potentially are going into the metal shop three three of them are going to the mil shop okay any other questions about the cameras any public comment regarding agenda items no okay go action items 10.1 approve the 2025 evaluation of superintendent C Perkins I make a motion to approve the 2025 evaluation

025school I think it's super important I mean um education's first but um big part of education is consequences um and I'm a firm believer that so I think uh you know timely timely matter timely timely uh make it work for everybody unfortunately State ties his hands on some policy so but as a as a board we should do what we need to do to make sure our students are safe and educated all at the same time very good just I agree I'm glad to see on new Hut and with the sports um side of it too to consequences will leave you know if you're being bad in school you you're going not be able to do Sports to you there's consequences it's not a it's a privilege to play it's not like don't have to
