001September 8th, 2025 at 700 p.m. Mr. Kosher, would you please take roll call? >> Olsson >> here. >> Peeling >> here. >> Skelton >> here. >> Thus Ward is absent. And Wine >> here. >> We have a quorum. >> Thank you. Please rise and join me for the pledge of allegiance. I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Thank you. At this time, any visitors who wish to address the board may do so. We ask that you sign in when you enter the room and please list the topic. If you have not done so, please approach the podium and do. I ask that you refrain from listing any student by name
002or any personnel by name. Is there anyone who would like to address the board? As a reminder, no action will be taken this evening. Seeing none, um we will move on to tannager happenings. Uh chat Moer with the bus. >> Okay. >> Pick your poison, I guess. Which oneever you want. >> All right. All right. So, just was invited to talk about what we've been as far as routes and stuff for this year. Um, we have five morning routes and two special need routes. The one special needs runs all day and then the second one runs morning and afternoon. Um we have then for the afternoon we have six afternoon routes and then uh as far as um bus counts roughly uh in the morning we're moving about 350 kids and in the afternoon about
003450 to 500 with boys and girls club is about 100 in that number. So, um, bus drivers are drive. We drive about 500 miles a day on our routes. Uh, when you combine everything together, I employ, uh, 15 drivers and, uh, two people that clean the buses. So, um, then a lot of cuz I have more drivers than a lot of other, they go to Dakota Valley and work other school districts well as well. So, I I do have more bus drivers than most most people or most of our other companies around here. >> How's the behavior's been on the bus for the first month? >> So far so good. We're few issues, but uh I think we're starting to settle in. Um still there's still some new students coming in and uh but for
004the most part everything is kind of settling in. So, usually takes about a month. How's the public behaving as well when it comes to bus stops? And >> uh we've again just a few issues here and there, but for the most part um things have went really well this year. I think kind of just took uh followed, you know, last year was a little bit difficult with the new school opening, but then we've kind of got it all figured out. I think pretty much. Yeah, Chad and and his crew have done a great job of in helping the principles with those bus routes and the Boys and Girls Club getting kids to and from uh and he's right. Um you know, our colleagues across the state are struggling to find drivers. So Harlo's and Chad
005have done a good job of recruiting a good base in our area that that continually drive. Plus, there's all these nighttime activities, too. And now that we're in full swing, that could be four days a week of traveling outside out of Vermillion, too. So, uh, and probably a good time to remind our citizens that the legislature did pass, um, a new law this last year about you can use bus cameras to identify people who run stop signs on buses. So, traffic has to stop when our bus lights are on and when our signs are out, traffic in both directions need to stop on a two-lane road. So, um, either by accident or or on purpose, sometimes in school districts, those get run and it can be very dangerous for our students. So, we appreciate the
006public's help with that. >> Thanks, guys. If um could between Mr. Moer and Dr. Alvi, could you guys uh just mention real quick what parents should do if they have a concern for something that that happens on a bus? Is it a district responsibility? Is it a bus company contact? What What should their first step be if usually they reach out to me and then uh I work with the principles of the respected if it's a middle schooler or elementary I usually contact the principal and then work through uh whatever they think depending on what happens um then we work through we kind of have a you know a protocol to go through if first offense second offense that kind of thing and the seriousness of what happened Um, so yeah, most of the time
007it's elementary and middle school that we have issues with on the buses. >> Any other questions? >> Um, one question that I had was, uh, you mentioned that you have a plethora of, uh, drivers. Why do you think that is compared to other surrounding areas? Um well our pay our company pays uh more than the reg the surrounding bus other companies the our pay is higher. Um, and fortunately I've like been able to move some drivers out to like I had driver in Sturgis from Thanksgiving to May last year working and so we have enough and then we have enough revenue um with the university and I get if you ever see our the buses they're running you know doing fraternities and sororities and we've worked with the sheriff's department hauling people to Yanked into
008the mental hospital. Um, we do a lot of third party stuff as well. So, >> thanks for your help. >> Yep. >> All right. Moving on here. Um, we have our agenda approval, conflict closures. Um, item A. Are there any agenda changes, Dr. Elie? >> No, there are not. >> I would seek then a motion to approve the agenda. >> First by Mark, second, >> seven by Jacob. All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Post same sign. Motion passes. Next up here we have indication of conflict of interest per South Dakota codified law 3-23. This is Rachel Olsen and I have none. This is Jake and I have none. >> Mark and I have none. >> Mike Failen. I have none. >> Great. Thank you. Uh moving on. Uh next up we have
009our consent agenda. We have approval of our minutes. Resignation new hires open enrollments and bills. Uh first up here our minutes are from our August 11th and 22nd meetings. Uh, resignation Brittney Goen, social worker, New Hire, Luke Hayes, middle school track, Danny England, Melissa Burner, Haley Larson, Bailey Peterson, Jada Weber, Carly Lutz, um, all lunch aids. I'm followed by Trinity Readyay as moving to part-time, Melissa Britt, part-time sped aid, Brooklyn spoon mover, um, moving to full-time. Rebecca Seaman, assistant drama, and John Manning, lawnmowing. Would anything like to be pulled from the consent agenda? Seeing none, then I would take a motion to approve. >> So moved. >> First by Mike. Second. >> Second by Jacob. All in favor say I. >> I. >> Post same sign. Motion passes. Next up here we are under unfinished
010business. Um first item is a discussion on cell phones. >> Yes. This is just a continuation from last month and you'll probably uh we'll probably have this on and off in the coming months. Uh but if you recall last month uh some of our board members had attended a workshop in uh Sou Falls that dealt with uh cell phone practices throughout the state and maybe some of the pitfalls that happen with the uh social media. That's a continuation of what our district brought to town last year when KSB Law uh visited with our students and parents on on some of the pitfalls and legal ramifications of cell phones in schools and or social media posts that kids sometimes make, which led us to uh consider um talking about ways that we might be able to
011promote and help better engagement of our kids uh in our district. um lessen their distractions and maybe even reduce some of the pitfalls that we'd heard at some of those workshops, which are some of the social media aspects and some of the negative things that happen when youth are on their phones for extended period of time. So, as a result, last month we um asked the board to alter our practice at the schools with how long and how often kids have cell phones in their hands in our district. Our elementary and middle school remain the same, which is that they have to keep their cell phones in their lockers. There are a few exceptions for medical reasons or some predetermined uh exceptions there. Um but largely kids don't have access to their phones throughout the
012day. Um and that way mom and dad can still reach them at the end of the day and text them some instructions or whatever that might be. At the high school, we changed uh from allowing students to carry their phones on them um throughout the day and use them in passing periods and lunch periods and continue to have them on their person in the classrooms to using phone caddies, which is just a calculator bag by the door typically where students that enter whatever classroom it might be, it might be shop, it might be English, it might be home, uh they place their cell phone in that caddy with the hopes that uh without receiving all those notifications and the continual beeping of their phones and the messages that they're getting automatically through their phones, those
013students will be more engaged, less um I guess less likely to be uh distracted and pull that phone out or use it in class inappropriately. Um I think our transition has gone really well at the high school for a couple reasons. One, uh we we rolled it out to parents and families early. We talked to students about it during orientation and then reinforced it in the first day of school at their classroom meetings. And then thirdly, we've talked to groups such as uh student council and other leadership groups about are there ways that we can better this? And I do know that some of those groups are bringing some suggestions to our administration for a future consideration. Um, but I do also think that part of the reason it's been successful at the high school
014to this point is about half of our staff were already doing this last year. We gave them the opportunity to explore this last year and some of our staff used that time to do to introduce phone caddies last year. So for most of our students, they had seen it, heard about it in our building a year ago. It wasn't pushed hard on them. It wasn't punitive or a punishment. it was seen as a a way to help engage them and try to help protect them from some of the negative uh connotations of the cell phone and largely they've they've bought into that. So the note that I prepared for the board was just stating what I just said which we're really proud of our staff and our students because there has been very little push
015back. In fact, I've received two communications on it from parents and both were positive. Both were thanks for doing this. We appreciate any effort that the school is doing to help limit that. the kids can still use it during passing time and catch up with their parents real quick if they need to and at lunchtime they can look at whatever it is that they like to look at on social media and communicate that way. Uh but largely kids are visiting and and doing things like we'd hoped um would be the case. So just so far we are really pleased with the direction and and have had uh very little push back and we'll just keep you posted as we move forward. Any questions? Thank you. Moving on here, we'll go to item B, which is
016approval of resignation of our board member, Mike Failen. I'll let Mr. Kosher take it from here. >> No. No. Well, actually, we first of all, we we'll we end up uh using Mike uh we'll end up uh using his appointment process or our appointment process on the next item, but all at this point, it's just our pleasure to um thank Mike for his last year of service and his his dedication to our community and our school district with his family. uh moving on to uh different uh position in a different place, but uh hopefully uh you'll still keep touch with what's happening here in Vermillion. And um you know, we want to thank you as as administrators, of course, and on behalf of the school board and community. Thanks for your service and putting yourself
017out for public service, which is not always an easy easy task. So, I don't know if you have anything further or not there, Rachel. >> I do not. Thank you, Mike, for a great year. And hopefully you learned a few things along the way. Maybe not. >> But um just for the public too, we did um seek candidates and we did do um interviews for that um process. So I want to thank everybody who was interested and hopefully we'll have um some of those applicants apply for our next school board election as well. Um so with that um I think we'll move on to item B with which is the oath of the office for Ryan Johnson. >> We need a motion. >> Motion. I can't motion them all at one time. >> Sorry. On
018the resation. >> You want it first? >> Yeah, please. underneath the >> Oh, under owner. Yeah. >> Got it. All right. We'll take a motion to >> I'll move to to resign. >> You want to do that? I don't know. >> Motion to approve my res. >> They'll probably make it unvalid. Then you're back on. I will take a motion to approve the resignation of Mike Failen. >> First by Jake, a second by Mark. All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Post same sign. Motion passes. >> All right. >> Thank you, Mike. >> Thanks, Mike. >> Told you we'd get you a quick meeting. Thank you. So then under new business item A which is appointment of new board member to fill vacancy. Yeah. So at this point um we would ask Ryan
019Johnson to come forward. Mr. uh Kosher will administer the oath of office. Uh Ryan did come in and was one of the interviews uh that the board conducted uh back in late August. And now tonight, we will need a motion to uh uh fully accept uh Mike as the appointment to fill uh Mike's uh Ryan's to fill that position of Mike's vacancy. So, >> we'll start with >> Yep. >> So, we have a motion to approve Ryan Johnson. We have a first by Mark >> and a second by Jacob. All in favor say I. >> I. >> Pull same sign. Motion passes. All right, Ryan, if you want to step up to the mic there. >> All right. Wasn't quite sure where I was going. >> Sure thing. >> For the oath of office, do
020you solemnly swear to support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of South Dakota to faithfully and impartially perform your duties as a member of the school board of the Vermillion School District 13-1, residing in Clay and Union counties in South Dakota to the best of your ability and in accordance with laws now in effect. and hereafter to be enacted during your continuence in set office until your successor is elected and qualified. If so, answer I do. >> I do. >> All right. [Applause] >> Yeah. >> Take a seat, Ryan. >> We'll get you the proper name plate next meeting. I lose my middle name. So, >> okay, there we go. >> Wasn't too far off. >> We'll do conflict of interest and things at our next meeting. We'll get
021you those forms and all those documents. >> Sounds good. >> All right. So, moving on here, we have item C, which is approval of adult volunteers. We have Sully Goddard of boys soccer, Kelly Kudson, PED, Robert Marlo, uh, Dvau's class, and Nick Havdton for boys golf. I think we can move on with one approval for a few of these things. So, there's no questions on our volunteers there. All right. Um, next up we have approval of certified personnel lane changes um for Rebecca Brewer. Moving from BA15. Any questions on that? Perfect. Um, then we get the pleasure of talking about our homecoming parade. Dr. Elvie. Yes, this is just uh formality every year that we we come before the board and just ask for uh permission and really it's for uh accounting purposes and and
022and um making sure that we have all of our dots uh in place when it comes to this. So, we're asking for two things. Uh permission for the board or from the board to hold our uh roping in the winds themed parade which will be a traditional parade from the high school down to the courthouse. And this will happen next Friday uh this uh 19th of September about 1:30 in the afternoon. And the also a part of homecoming week is the uh continuation of volunteer day which is when our high school students have the opportunity to go into the community and do different special events and civic projects to kind of thank the community for all their efforts. And that would be held um on September 17th on Wednesday. So, I'm asking uh for uh
023permission to do both of those events again this year. >> Wonderful. I know the community is probably happy to have volunteer day. >> Absolutely. They love it. >> Any questions? Um next up here then we have approval of delegate um for the ASBSD delegate assembly. >> Correct. >> Coming up in Pier in November. >> Yes. November 21st, which is a Friday, and from 1 to 4:00 pm. Um, I think it's a Friday. I'll have to double check that date, but I do know it's the 21st of of um November in Pier this year. It was Fort Pier last year. So, we're just looking for one of the board members to be the delegate to represent our school board in those discussions. >> Friday. >> Okay, it is a Friday. >> You can draw the short
024straw there, Ryan, for that one. Otherwise, I know Mark has volunteered before and I So, but you have any interest, Ryan. If not, I think Mark is probably volunteering. >> Mark, perfect. Mark, would you accept that? Wonderful. Um, so Mark Wker for the delegate. Um, then following um that is item G, which is approval of mile reimbursement rate. Um, increase to the South Dakota new rate, which is 67 cents. Yep. What was the change from? >> Uh 65 and a half cents previously. So >> when did that go into effect? >> That went into uh this this latest one actually went into effect during the year last year. We had already adjusted ours once, but the state adjust adjusted theirs twice last year. So we we moved ours up to 65 and a half and
025didn't make the second jump. And this would just be our way of catching up there. >> Perfect. All right. Any questions? If not, I would take a motion um for items C through G. >> First by Jacob, second by Mark. All those in favor say I. >> Pull same sign. Motion passes. >> Was Jacob first or Mark? >> Uh Jacob was first or Mark. >> All right, moving on here to reports. Uh Dr. Elie. >> Yes. Uh you know, off to a great start in the school year here. you had your report in front of you there. Quick thank yous to our Pied Piper flower shop. They sent fresh flowers to the be all the offices at the beginning of school. So, we've had some and they've really lasted a long time. They've been great
026flowers. So, uh they're still managing to stay alive and in and even my office. So, that's a good good sign. Uh do want to continue our continuation of thanks to the Vermillion um city council as well as the Klay County U commission for their continued support of all the things they do for us, but mainly that SRO program, school resource officer program that helps keep our students and staff safe. And we couldn't do it without their without their support. And also thanks to Sanford Vermillion, uh this time of the year, we like to remind folks that our certified athletic trainer is an employee of the Sanford uh hospital system. and we get those services and Amy's beloved at our district uh at no cost to the district. So, those are some really big key players
027to us uh not only for funding things but keeping our staff and students healthy and safe. Um had a couple of uh tentative dates to hold on to your calendars for. We're we're we've tenatively penciled in the same date for our legislative meeting and supper for December 8th. the first meeting in December, we would meet with the our local legislative representatives um early and and go have pizza together and then we'd come and have your normal 7:00 meeting. So, uh you've got that on your calendar, but if it starts to need to be tweaked in any way, let me know. Um we'd also like to thank and recognize Rachel Olsen, our board president. uh ASBSD started to send out 10-year res recognition certificates for board members who've contributed at least 10 years and this is
028Rachel's 10th year. So, she's got a nice certificate and a letter of appreciation from the associated school boards and Heath Larson um the director of associate school boards um for thanking her for her contributions and we know locally that she's involved in a lot of activities but we're glad that she's part of our our school board and uh so there you've got a nice >> So I turned 40 and have 10 years on the school board all within a month. Thanks. >> Congratulations. So >> thank you. um we'd had questions at the beginning of the year about our policy or our practice on um tree nuts, peanuts, and other allergens in our district. So, at this point, I just wanted to remind folks that our um in our district, our elementary has just one student
029at this point that we have that's um nut or peanut particularly peanut allergy and that this that makes us at the elementary, we have been peanut restricted there for probably 15 years. And uh so basically if we find a student that has brought a lunch to school that contains those those uh uh nuts or peanut butter and jelly or something, we we ask that student to eat a school lunch that day and provide that and then send a communication home to moms and dads about that. Um the severity of that is it time to consider looking at that as a difference? Um we used to have a a number of more students that had that allergy and at this point um we do have still have some but if that's something you would like us
030to look at we can certainly look at that. Uh at the middle school and the high school we also have students who have allergies to nuts of varying kinds. Uh but they are only nutaware schools. In other words, our uh kids monitor themselves and all types of lunches are allowed uh both served at school or brought from home. So, um it's just an awareness at those two levels. And so, um I wanted to make sure people knew that. And you see on your in your board packet, I showed you the allergen management plan that we follow at the elementary school. Um attendance is going to be a big focus again this year. You've heard us talk about it the last couple of years. our our attendance continues to be a concern just like um schools
031throughout the state. Uh and so what we're trying to do is put a special light on that with moms and dads and kiddos about the benefits of being in school. So you're going to see and hear us talking about those in some infomercials, uh yard signs, some banners, our our notes going home to moms and dads, and um on the boards at schools. there's going to be some stats and stuff about how kids perform and can do better if they're in school. Uh naturally, there's reasons that kids can't be. It could be a health reason. It could be that they had extended vacations and things. But by um the 11th absence, then we have um we've got communications with the the state's attorney here in town that that's our line in the sand for truency.
032and that's when he will become involved and his office will become involved and be looking at finding ways to incentivize families to make sure their kids get into school. So, just so people are aware of that, we hope that we can get a lot of really positive um publicity out and advertising about the benefits and and graduation rates and your success in life is direct directly related to your ability to be in school and achieve and and reach your dreams. Uh but if not, we've got some work to do to try to incentivize families and kiddos to be there. Um anything there yet? >> Do you remember at the top of your head the days that kind of trigger the steps? >> 579. >> Five is uh at 579 kids get a letter from the
033office and potentially a home visit from their principles and or a mandatory meeting with the parents at any one of those uh intersections. Uh, plus anytime your child misses unexcused, if we don't get a note from mom and dad, you will get an automatic phone call that morning that's from our automated phone system that just says, "Hey, by the way, uh, so and so wasn't in school this morning. Please contact the office." So, there are plenty of opportunities through um, communications to to know if your child's not in school. And and again, if parents have got doctor's appointments or they've got a vacation planned or extended illness, those are all excused absences. Uh but if there it gets to a point where kids are being excused for things, we might require doctor's notes or we
034might not excuse all absences that moms and dads want us to based on the information we have on the child. So, just sort of a a friendly heads up that attendance is going to be really high on our radar for a lot of reasons, but mainly because kids will succeed and do better if we get them in school. Uh along those lines, um a couple things that are not on the school board's packet that they have in front of them is we have uh we took our account on Friday. As folks know, uh we have um our date of uh attendance that when the state pays the D district is this Friday of the September 26th, the last Friday in September is what we call count date in South Dakota. And that's when South Dakota
035will look at Infinite Campus, the data that you have in front of you, schoolboard members, and say the school district has this amount of number of students. And right now our number is at approximately 1,315. Uh that's down approximately 30 students from last year and that's down uh 75 students in the last two years. So we've taken a sharp decline after about six years of constant growth. U we've lost over half that growth in two two years. So uh we have a couple weeks before that count date comes. Uh we hope we don't drop below 1315. Um but uh just to you know kind of get that out there. Um if you do the math, you know, if we're approximately $7,500 per student for all of those students that walk through the door, if we're
036missing 75 students, that's a little over a half a million dollars in state aid that we would lose ongoing each year moving forward. So it's a serious uh uh topic for us. Um, and we have done a lot of really good things in the past several years to keep most of our ESSER people um, employed and all those positions that we added during the COVID years have been valued positions to help kids and help teaching staff. So, we're doing our very best to make sure we don't have to make any um um decisions on those. Uh, we're using capital outlay flexibility, which our finance committee talked about at the July meeting. Um, we're looking at any use of federal dollars. Uh, potentially some federal cuts to Title One have been floated around at the national
037level. We'll see where those land. Uh, but it's not all doom and gloom. These are not cuts that have to be made immediately. So, we're going to take our time, look at all the opportunities that we have before us, um, and make adjustments as we go and we'll talk to our staff along the way. Um, but we will have to talk to the to our constituents about what it does look like and if these numbers don't increase or pick up, then we're going to have to talk about what what that's that look like for the Vermillion School District moving forward. So, uh, just want to put that out there and of course we'll have a full report at the October meeting because we'll have our countdown numbers for you at the end of the month.
038And last couple things here. Um September 26th is uh was mistakenly printed on our paper calendar as a day off of school. Uh when in fact we do have school with a 1:30 dismissal. So uh we've been sending that out through our emails to families uh that September 26, the last Friday in the month, we do in fact have school. It's a day of PLT for our staff. So it's a 1:30 dismissal that day. Um, but we will be um having school that day. So, I'm just trying to keep that message out there. And finally, I'm working with our administrators. Um, some of our administrators are are veteran staff and have um we're working on our evaluation cycles. If you're evaluating the same person on the same scale that's been doing the same thing for
03920 years, it's hard to get creative about improvement and things that they're doing well and trying to find the proper um ways to motivate and incentivize um administrators. So with the board's permission, what I would like to do this year is move towards a more of a growth and goal session model which would be basically for example we would ask uh one of our principles a veteran principle not one of our new principles. Um basically we would have three goal areas. It could be in instruction, it could be in management, it could be in goals, it could be in culture. Um, and then they would they would fill out what their goal would be. And then throughout the year, that would be our model for those three goals about what we're doing. And then at
040the end of the year, we'd be able to establish you've you've met those objectives of your goal or you didn't. And that's okay, too, as long as we've had conversation along the way and and and reached for growth. Uh so right now we have a model that's got six different um domains and five or six bullets under each domain and it gets a little bit mundane after doing the same evaluation for 20 years. So with your permission I'd like to go ahead and move forward with a growth model which I can demonstrate to you guys at a future meeting. Uh I think it's a good way to revitalize veteran staff. It shows to them that their their focus is kind of generally regener uh rejuvenated. they get to focus on three main goal areas, something
041that's tangible, something that gives us conversation points throughout the year, and hopefully at the end of the year, we'd be able to, you know, mark the box and say we met this goal and this is what how it's improved the district or improved them professionally and u so I just wanted to bring that out as a an opportunity and hope you guys would support that. >> Would you like a motion support? >> Don't need just need a nod. So >> I want a thumbs up. >> Okay, that'll work. Perfect. So, that's all I had for tonight. >> If you're looking for that Friday off at the end of the month, look to October on Halloween. Right. Good point. >> No, no school that Friday. >> October 31st is that is the Friday we do have
042off. >> Should be a gift. >> Staff are having service, but the kids will be gone. So, >> that's what a big hit in our household. >> Yes. >> Excellent. Well, thank you, Dr. Elby. Uh, next up here for school board. um any groups that have met or I know Boys and Girls Club is off and getting started. I think they're just starting tutor club here going and we are doing a shed raffle if anybody wants to help support the one fundraiser we get to do a year. So that's ongoing for the boys and girls club looking now. All right. So this is where since we didn't get to do it in July with Mike leaving so um you guys in the crowd could humor me for a minute. Uh we're going to go through
043the committees for next year. That works. Changing it up just a little bit. Um we'll start with the we call it the representation like the booster clubs etc. Um Carol, you're not here but looking for you to um go to the stay with athletic booster club. Mark if you want to continue with boys and girls club. Um I will stay with IAP uh tax assessment for Jacob. And then Ryan, if you'd be willing to, if you haven't already, learned about the Vermillion Public School Foundation as appointment. Perfect. Um, and then when it comes to committees, I got to zoom in here. So, first one being a building and capital, I'm looking at Mark and Carol. Uh, finance, looking at Ryan. Um, usually we have the new ones. Start with finance, get a little bit of
044basics and I will join finance um this year and then personnel negotiations looking at myself and Jacob want to start to see if we can train somebody else here so in the future when I'm maybe not doing negotiations you've got not 20 probably not 20 years we better hope we got some candidates out there for future um curriculum and policy uh Ryan same thing policy getting an understanding of that and then Jacob staying on that. Um food advisory um Mark and Carol and then what we call IT community relations collaborations Mark and Carol and if you didn't get those wrote down that's okay we got a list here and we'll get them sent out. So um so we'll go ahead and get started on that work going forward. Right. Um, next up here then we
045will move to the financial reports for item A funds. Mr. Kosher, >> uh, financial report is in your packet again this month.
