We discussed our data um from all those diagnostics. We have group students together. We have prek, kindergarten and first group together, second and third and fourth and fifth. Um, we
004put students based on their uh needs and abilities and where they are lacking or growing. And then we will start our interventions this week. Our interventions will run for six weeks. Then we are going to evaluate and regroup. Um, started submitting our paperwork for the state for our title. The Salvation Army in Rapid City donated a box full of school supplies for our students and staff. I emailed staff to see if there's any other needs in the classroom and area churches have reached out to me um to support wherever is needed. And then I also gave out ballots where some were uh verbal voting with the younger students uh to prek to fifth grade to vote on our elementary staff's shining star. And this included all the prek through fifth grade teachers as well as
005sped um Mrs. Durk in the office, our title, our music teacher, our PE teacher, all our pair of professionals grouped together, the custodians group together, uh bus drivers group together, and cafeteria staff.

The special education director attended a training to make necessary changes for
006students on infinite campus. And finally, elementary special education staff assisted in testing for interventions for the science of reading curriculum. On um the high school side, we're currently working on a book study of what great teachers do differently by Todd It's short chapters but it takes us to the basis of education key principles and education that effective teachers do and um next we'll be doing inservice we'll have CPR training in the morning and work on our emergency plans um in the afternoon.

BDDH E1 participation in board meetings, school board meetings, speaker signing sheet

All right, seeing none, we'll move on to old business item B, second reading of policy B, school board meetings. either. >> All right. Move on to openness item C. Second reader policy IDBA, special education and related services. I didn't have anything major, but there's one place where it just says like um placement of the committee will be comprised of parents. It probably needs to say parents or guardian. The rest of the places it says parents or guardian. So >> there's one spot that doesn't >> Yeah. and like the development of individuals like the second. >> Okay. Otherwise, I don't have any comments. I
009think it was in the other spots, but >> miss that one. >> Yeah. >> Oh, maybe the paragraph above that says we'll work just with the parents, but Was it one time? Did you say it was in there? >> Yeah, but then it's in that paragraph and it was one time in the under development of an individual education program in the IEP part, but then in the paragraph above that, it looks like there's a couple of times that it just says parents. >> Okay. Okay, I got it. Oh yeah, I think so. >> No, >> anything else with that one. >> That's all I've been seeing is that >> all right, moving on to new business.

010to approve the final budget for the 2025 2026 school year. >> Second motion has been made by Christian, second by Dawn. Is there any discussion? >> I just say I didn't make any changes from when we discussed it in July. We might have some significant special education expenses coming up. So if it comes that it's going to be major, I'll revisit and make amendments year otherwise and if we get like any significant reallocation of titles or money that's still I don't know October or November though if it's significant we'll revisit other Any other discussion? >> Seeing none, proceed to vote. All those in favor? >> I. >> All those opposed? Motion carries. New business. Item B, approve request for the maximum tax levies. >> Move to approve the request for maximum tax levies. Second >>
011have been made by Kristen and seconded by Dawn. Is there any discussion? >> I have a question. >> Why are we asking for maximum we actually have more students than what we have budgeted for? >> So two reasons. One if you don't especially special ed if you don't request maximum you cannot request extraordinary fun cost. So some of your grants if you're not requesting maximum then you can't qualify for some other funding. >> We always have >> but I'm I'm wondering why when we budgeted for 180 students >> and we have 193. >> Okay. The the levy for the general is already set. >> Okay. We need to max out because we're going to need extraordinary funds, but we have a lot of need there anyway. The capital outlay is, you know, we have a
012lot of capital. >> The other thing comparatively, they're down last year. So maybe we're going to get a little more state than we budgeted, but there's perhaps the tax might be a little less because it's less than that's the fine tune. I wasn't like like point you know like that that that I have a question because the taxes went up. >> So with the amount we can get >> taxes I think we're paying them now. >> We paid them in April and >> but what the school portion the schools can get >> is to be next next year. I I just was I was asking those questions because I thought they needed to be asked as far as that. I know we've always done it before. >> That's because you jump through hoops. If you
013don't max, then you can't request for extra funding when you run into a problem like we're going to special education. >> Okay. I guess at a later point I would like to understand what that means because that's the first that I've heard of that. >> That's the first half. Any other thoughts or questions there? See no proceed to vote. All those in favor? >> All those opposed. Motion carries. Move to new business item C. Approve membership to the new Economic Development Corporation. What's been made by second by Katie? Is there any discussion? >> Um, I will say that I'm a member of this as a business owner.

014What um >> are you are you a voting member on that corporation? >> You're just a member. >> I'm just a member. >> I don't think I don't think that that would be a conflict as as long as you're not a deciding factor on you are deciding factor here. as long as you're not a deciding factor for the the new >> Todd Todd Youngberg is also at the meeting. We're working on reestablishing and building our economic development.

I'm accustomed to a school report to city council meetings and stuff like that. >> What would leave you as a representative until >> until you're elected to a if you are elected to a position as a board member then we'll have to just have a different >> Okay, that's fine. >> Uh any other questions on that or thoughts?

018made by Dean second by Katie. Is there any discussion? >> When you say the north route, this is the route to cast rock. So, it was brought to my attention this morning. Somewhere in the past, bus drivers would have told they have to talk in an hour and a half, no matter what, which is fine. Like, I don't want it to be a waste of someone's time to go for 20 minutes. So, I don't know if we want to just if it still fit in the budget, if we just want to say like if that So, one and a half is $24. Even I had once thought half of so bus drivers get 6450. They do have a CDL in their train. Half of that is 3250. They're paid per trip. So I would suggest
