Thank you. Sign right. Okay. Thank you. [Music] There you go. Welcome. Thank you. This is item three, public comments. And there is no one signed up for public comments tonight. Moving on
002to item number four, superintendent report. We have monthly financials. Uh, Miss Greer, she wants to share those. The floor is yours. Miss Greer. Good evening. So, we have the district's financial reports. We'll start with page four on the statement of net pos net position by fund. Um, so in the general fund for the five accounts that are there, we have the Lamar checking with an ending balance of 960,252.84. The Lamar checking workers comp account with ending balance of $132,744.72. The school fund for the activity account $59,326.83. 83. The general operating investment account with an ending balance of $3,992,98759 and the Techstar general operating investment account with ending balance of $86522 with a total of the general fund investment accounts of $5,1461.77.20. Um, next in the middle we have the interest and syncing funds. The two
003accounts there, we have our Lamar checking account with an ending balance of 3,119,2541 and the Techstar investment account ending with 1,566,486 for a combined um total of $4,685,662.7. The next portion at the bottom are the construction funds. Um the five construction funds that we have um balances are is the Lamar checking um 2016 bond account with an ending balance of $8,299.13. The 2022 bond with an ending balance of $692,29744. And then the 2023 bond account at at Lamar with an ending balance of 13,4017582. And then the 2016 bond at the Techstar um 19,235.73. And then the Techstar 2023 bond with an ending balance of 7,129,14262 with a total combined balance for our construction funds bond funds of 20,889,150.74 a total amount of all of the accounts um 30,720,991. Um, next page on page five is
004just the actual investment accounts listed. We have our Lamar general fund um with 3,992,98759. We have the three Lamar accounts for our bonds totaling 13,732,47326. And then that bottom portion, the Techstar investment accounts. Um those four accounts there with an ending balance of 8,715,65163. Next on page six, we have our property tax collection analysis. Um we'll be looking in that third column, the actual year to date for our general fund for the um local um local property taxes. We've collected 7,22,670. Um, so we're about 99.56% um of of what we've budgeted for our collection rate. Down at the bottom, the next portion is the debt service for our property taxes. On that third column, the actual year to date at the very bottom, we've collected $5,53. 5,53,322 and that is actually $298,166 over what we
005budgeted. So we collected more than we what we budgeted in that account. Um the next page is the budget summary for 2425. That's on page seven. Um we'll be looking at uh mainly focusing on that year-to- date actual the third column again. So at the top is the revenues. Um, total revenues year-to- date collected is 10,65,329. We've collected about, if you look over to the far right, 79.46% of what was budgeted. So, we still have our state payments that are going to be flowing in, and that'll get us up to where we need to be. The second portion for the expenditures, that's broken out by function level. Um, if you go all the way down to the bottom, the total expenditures year-to- date actual as of March 31st, 21 2025, uh, we've expended 8,840,973. And
006if you look over to the far right, the percent, um, it's 69.04%. And as of March, um, that was seven out of our 10-month budget cycle this year. So that that would be 70%. So we're just slightly under the 70% mark for our expenditures year to date. After that, uh we look at our debt service fund again on that focusing on that third column, the year-to- date actual revenues for our debt service fund. Alto together are um $5,96,380. Again, what we discussed that a minute Oh, no. I'm sorry. We didn't discuss that one. That was the other one. Um, that is also over what we budgeted. We've we've collected $316,224 over what we budgeted. And then our expenditures year to date are 2,85,741. Um, we still have some bond payments coming up. So, that will
007take care of the rest of that balance. At the bottom, our food service fund 240. Again, on that third column, year-to- date actual to total revenues are 462,000 and our total expenditures are 427,525. Any questions on those? I think that's it. Thanks. Thank you, Miss Greer. Moving on to item 4 B, communications. Uh if you look on page 31, we have our enrollment update. Uh it's the usual up and down cycle you see throughout the school year. Uh but we have currently have four more students enrolled um this month than we did last month. So we're up to 1179. Um next month we will bring to you an uh an update on transfer where we stand on transfers for next year. We'll bring those numbers to you. uh bond construction update. Mr. Bell, is there
008anything we need to share about construction projects? We're about 80% at the elementary school. Playgrounds are in. Uh all the landscaping is in. We are forming up the planters in the central area of the school, the courtyard. There's the word I'm looking for in the courtyard. Um, we are scheduled for about 90% of the furniture to to be delivered in the first week of May. We are finalizing um, this is not necessary trash. We're finalizing supply orders for the new elementary school this month. We'll have a proposal for you next month to approve and hopefully uh, summer school starting in July or June. June 1st. Awesome. Thank you, Mr. Bell. Great. Thanks, Uh, principal reports. Rock, paper, scissors. See who goes first. Or does the ladies go first? All right. Um, let's see. Starting with
009our attendance. Over the past month, our average daily attendance has climbed to 96.18%. Um we recently hosted our third nineweek celebration of learning recognizing students for consistently demonstrating character uh strength and making a positive impact on school culture. Um we also celebrated two staff outstanding staff members Mrs. Best and Mrs. Marcatoa who received the Crystal Apple award for the third nine weeks. Uh it's a peer nominated and voted on award. Um, let's see. Our spring boat fair brought in $14,486 in total sales with a profit of $3,746. And those funds go directly back into supporting campus literacy and reading engagement. Um, on April 1st, we hosted our preK and kindergarten roundup. So far, we've received paperwork for 14 preK students and 86 incoming kindergarten students. Um, factoring in maybe three or so retentions, we're looking
010at a starting kinder class of at least 89 students next year. Academically, our third and uh fourth grade students had 100% participation in the STAR reading test last week. Um, so everybody showed up, everybody took their test, and we will do our STAR math next week. Uh, we've also provided meaningful enrichment opportunities this month, uh, through field trips. PreK visited the Children's Museum and Commerce. Kindergarten went to the Frank Buck Zoo in Gainesville, first grade went to the Dallas Zoo, and then second grade went to the the Star in Fris, toured that. Um, lastly, I'm happy to announce that we've welcomed two new hires for the 2025 2026 school year. Uh, Mrs. Caroline Layman will be joining our fifth grade team and Mrs. Amy Exin will be our newest kindergarten teacher for next year. Thank
011you. Thank you. Thank you. Hi everyone. Hello. Um, so starting with attendance, we're at about 94%, we're almost at 95. We're really close, so trying to get there. Um, some really fun classroom events that have been going on. Um, Miss Clement is working with students. Um, they planned a $5,000 budget overseas trip. Um, and then she had a travel agent come in and speak to them about how to actually have a career in that type of um, genre of work. And um, that's part of that tech apps career class that the eighth graders are taking this year. Um, our artists are putting the finishing touches on their work for the upcoming illuminated art show that takes place on May 1st. So, they're doing lots of glow-in-the-dark type of projects. They're really cool. Very excited about
012that. Um, our star testing is nearly complete. Uh, we decided to do a test per one grade level per day um just to make sure our internet was working perfectly and we had enough Chromebooks for every kid. Um, so it's been a slow process, but it's been I think most beneficial for kids. So, it's been really good. They've worked really hard and teachers have just thoroughly prepared them and we just have such amazing staff. So, they've been super supportive of the grade levels that are taking the test and the kids have been amazing. Teachers have been amazing. Uh, congratulations to all our student athletes on an outstanding year. We've kind of concluded our sports for the school year. We did have cheer triyouts. So, also congratulations to our new Gunnar Middle School cheerleaders. That's super
013exciting. They're gearing up for the fall season. Uh we have Willy Wonka hitting the stage next weekend. Lots of kids participating in that. So it's very exciting. Um Miss Magguy, you know, has been working nonstop. Um I was in her class the other day and they were making acorns out of papermâché to get ready for um one of the scenes. Um and then next week our band is off to Epic Waters to perform and then play. So we're really excited. They're doing a music festival there. So, they'll get to perform um their UIL music another time, which is fun for them. And then they'll get to play in the water park. So, they're excited about that, too. So, that's all I got. Oh, we have a new hire, too. Um I was going to write
014in that I forgot. Um so, we're super excited to welcome Mrs. Gross. She's going to be joining us. Um she is going to be teaching ELA at the middle school. So, we're super excited to welcome her to Gunnar. Thanks. [Music] How are y'all? Good. Um Josh is not here tonight. He is uh we got NHS right now and then he has to uh work softball because we started playoffs tonight. So his wife coaches so he gets that duty. So right now we're in the wrong one at 369. Um, our attendance rate is, uh, right at 94%. Um, so just from stuff going on at the high school, we had our state ring stuff last night. Um, got that done. Finally got those things in. Um, and if you've seen them, um, I guess it's the
015biggest rings that Balffor has ever done. Um, and, uh, Coach Stone made the comment that it was $300 paper weight cuz they're massive. They're hard to wear, but it was it was good. Um, softball wise, we finished 20 and n 9 and three. We got Winsboro tonight. um in Commerce tomorrow night in Commerce and game three if necessary on Saturday, same place. Um baseball is rolling too. They're 31-1 right now. Um they're 11 and0 in district. Uh they're really really talented. Um beat Pottsboro Tuesday here at home for the district championship. So we got them tomorrow night in Pottsboro. Uh well, it may change because of the weather, so we may be on Gracie on the turf, but they don't have lights, so it'll be maybe like a four o'clock game, but Daryl doesn't know
016yet. So we'll do that. Um, uh, boys and girls golf, uh, rolled through regionals for regional champs in both. Um, the boys are seated one at state, have a really good chance to win it, and the girls are like just right there with Odessa Compass. So, it'll be a it'll be a it'll be a good tournament. Um, we need those points for Lonear, too, cuz we're I mean, we're literally like we're right there holiday. I mean, it's come down to state track and and baseball. If our baseball team push it, we're probably going to win it. Um so we got uh girls um golf is state is this Monday Tuesday along Thursday with state track. So it's a big week. Um also we have tennis regionals. Um and our boys were district champs. Our girls
017runners up but then next week is boys state golf. So it's it's backtoback. It's hit. Um our floral team they got a state send today. They're in Sam at Sam Houston. Um they are uh it's a state contest and um it's kind of interesting because they only top 15% of teams in the state and that's all classifications one to six. So going a pretty big deal for them. Uh bass fishing team we got three teams advancing to regionals. Um we started show uh next week on May the 1st at the event center called Illuminated. Um and that is 6th through 12th. So, we got the middle school kids also. Um, and then some some academic stuff. So, we had we've been having testing the last two weeks. So, you know, we've had kids in and
018out, but Miss Lee did something pretty neat. And if you've ever got a chance to see Miss Lee like she is, uh, she's a really good English teacher. Um, she is uh um she's stern, but she's really good. But they did a game uh engaging, relevant game, but it's like it was like a competition. So, teams were picked, teams were formed. They they competed for points. So each day to review the different skill areas of the test. So practice questions start testing. The skill practice was followed with some sort of game Jeopardy trash ball chain received medals. They also got to choose a team team who received the plastic trophy. Scores were tallied and the winning teams from each class were invited to the winners breakfast. Students also received snack bags and water on test
019with all the preparation. Um like she just said, she made it fun and they learned. So, we're hoping that that that English class um did what with all of our kids have been testing. But I think that's it. Um there's just so much going on right now. It's up there. It's it's uh it's it just it just rolls. So, that's it. Appreciate it. Members on page 33 is a letter I just wanted to share with you to let you guys know this already that our food services department is amazing. Um, Warren Rogers does an amazing job up that group. Uh, this was just a letter we from Sid Miller, Texas Agriculture Commissioner. Um, and it was just him congratulating the district on completing the 2024 Farm Fresh Challenge. Um, they do an amazing job with
020that program. I'm not going to read that letter to you, but I wanted to share it with you. Congratulate Miss Rogers and just brag on on the whole program. kids can't learn if their stomach's growing and and they take care of that every day, day in day out and I appreciate it enough for the great job they do. So, I just wanted to share that with you guys so you are aware of that. Pretty amazing. Miss Rogers pat on the back tell her to keep up a great job. Um, then item five is just upcoming meetings and events and that's listed on page one as usual. I know you everyone has their calendars marked for May 22nd, graduation 8:00 at Tiger Stadium, weather permitting. Um, and then you are get should have or you will
021be getting communication about two upcoming budget workshops. Uh, the first one being Tuesday, May 13th, and then the second one we're looking at June 11th or 12th. Uh, because that new budget cycle is coming fast and furious, we'll have to adopt that budget before July 1 since we're changing our budget cycle. Um, so if you haven't seen those states, be on the lookout for those. I know, uh, Miss Watson has been doing a great job communicating about that. And that's all I have for upcoming meetings and events. Uh, board member reports. I'm going to let you take that one. Okay. So, you can brag at the wonderful job you guys do. No one, you know, that's what the community doesn't understand is how much time you guys have put in behind the scenes doing training,
022meeting those training requirements. I appreciate you and the time you put in. And uh even Mr. Pageant, who's done this before, he's now got to go through all the the new member training again, which is which is on top of everything else you guys have to do. So, I thank you guys. Y'all do an amazing job and the community doesn't understand how much of your personal time you give for this. Okay. In accordance with provisions of the Texas Education Code section 5 subsection 11.159B, a trustee must complete any training required by the state board of education. The minutes of the last regular meeting of the board of trustees held before an election of trustees must must reflect whether each trustee has met or is deficient in meeting the required training for the trustee as of
023the first anniversary date of the trustes election or appointment. If the minutes reflect that the trustee is deficient, the district shall post the minutes on the district's internet website within 10 business days of the meeting and maintain the posting until the trustee meets the requirements. So call us out. Also, according to BB Legal, the board president shall distribute the framework for the governance leadership annually to all current board members and the superintendent. You'll find a copy of that information in your binders. The following board members have met or exceeded the required hours of continuing education. Mrs. Natalie Bernard, Mrs. Shelley Hails, Dr. Gary Harris, Mr. Gabe Johnson, Mr. Scott Meyerk, and Mr. Jim Scanner. All board members completed the special training requirement for legislative update to Texas education code. This training requirement is to be
024completed after each legislative session. Team building team of eight training required 3 hours annually and required 5 hours annually of additional continued education. The following board members have not met the required hours of continuing education. None. Great job, guys. Great job. I know Stacy for staying on top. I'm sure I know she's amazing. She's great. You You guys do a good job and thank y'all again for the time you put in away from here. Um item B was finance committee on date. Yeah. Uh we we met um two weeks ago. Yes. Yeah. two weeks ago we met and the main focus uh was just on the budget cycle coming up. Um and went through uh gave us a little bit of good news some look like some things in terms of the deficit for this
025year is going to be less right. of improving our uh uh any balance. But uh really just focus again on kind of what what are the opportunities to the district in terms of how to either improve uh revenues or uh you know where we can continue to look at managing expense as tightly as we possibly can until we hear from state legis legislature uh about what's coming down. some of the things that I recently seen. There's some some movement there, but you know, there's also some other challenges coming. So, all we'll all that will flush itself out um as part of the normal cycle, but uh overall it was a uh they're always productive meetings where we just the team really just looks at um what are the challenges financially to the district and then
026also try to help get additional information out into the community. Uh, one thing we did talk about as follow is we probably would want to have a couple extra meetings over over the summer as we go through the budget budgeting cycle because it's going to come pretty quick. And on top of the budget workshops that we talked about as a board, the finance committee would also meet as well to uh again to help bring ideas because we have people on there who are uh have been in school finance for a long time and have have ideas that they can bring to the table, but also to help with uh messaging out in the in the community in terms of the challenges or opportunities and what they positive, but not not a lot to report Other
027than that and continue focuses on budgets and the challenges to public education. [Music] Thank you, Mr. Marter. Uh item C is communication committee update. We had a meeting last week. Um two major topics we discussed. One was just communication regarding uh the adjustment transfer policy and and then making sure we kind of we communicate with you guys what those numbers look like and keep you updated about that. Um and then what took up the meat or the meeting the most of the time was trying to farm out uh the job that Miss Shelley Neely does as communication specialist for the district. Um, and I think there were seven different bullets of things that we're trying to to find somebody to take care of. But even under each one of those, there were about seven more
028bullets. So, it's about 50 items that we're trying to figure out as a district how can we get this covered cuz she's done an amazing job. I I have finally quit bugging her about trying to convince her to stay. I I think I've done it so much I am truly bugging her now. So um we wish her the best and thank her for just tremendous service to the district over the years. So absolutely just consent. Okay. So our consent agenda consists of minutes from March 2025 regular meeting the bills for GISD and GCSE. the Gunnar ISD joining Grayson County special education SSA for the 2025 2026 school year bed services the TES certification for 2025 2026 and the GCSE budget amendment number four does anyone wish to pull anything from the consent agenda is there
029a motion to adopt the consent agenda as presented make a motion to adopt as presented second Any discussion? All in favor? I. Any opposed? Thank you. That takes us to our regular business. We've already done 7A um and so we'll move to 7B. Considering the approval of the Henkins ESIP audit term for 2020, 2024 2025. That is correct. That is correct because even though they'll be doing the audit in 2526, it is for the budget cycle 242. M Watson and I both called each other on that. So that's your recommendation. I'm sorry. I recommend that we approve Okay. approve Hank East as our audit firm for this year. Okay. Is there a motion to approve Hank East audit firm for the 2024 2025 school year? I'll make a motion. Thank you. Any further discussion? When
030do they normally have that out? They say in here, but not have it finished. Isn't it January normally when they present to you? um sometimes December, as early as December, and that's more the timeline we would prefer because you're required to submit it to TEA in January. So, um sometimes we go over into January and you get it and make sure you schedule it in time so that you can get it in time. I think we would typically shoot for December. It may have been January this year because it was their first year with us. That'll all be moved up July. True. That's true. True. So it should be October should be October. Okay. Then it should be available for our review on July 1st, 2025. The summary schedule of prior Oh, prior audit. [Music]
031Any further discussion? Any other questions? All in favor? Any opposed? Thank you. Then the approval of the final GES library purchase for guided reading sets in the amount of $20,29.32. Mr. Bill, do you have any additional information for that or Oh, Miss First of all, thank you for last month in approving the amazing books that we have for our new elementary work sited. Um, with that, so basically this year teachers came in. We've got a small section of um teacher resources that they use for small group instruction and several teachers came in and just asked you know in the future are we going to add any um new books for this so that we can use our teacher table for um small group intervention or just extensions or with all readers across the board. So
032um I met with like several reps and we got different books and kind of went through the ones that we really liked. And then last month at our staff meeting, I set out um several of the books and decodables from a company that's called or the program is Flying Start to Literacy. So, it's broken up into two components. Um the one that's uh 2,300 is basically the early phonics for the uh early readers. So, it's got a set of decodables. It's 420 decodable books that are leveled um with letters that each uh prek, kinder, and first grade teachers would most likely use. Some second depending on kids that would need it, but mostly those early grades. So, um the teachers loved them. They we I sent them all out and they looked through them. They
033all said yes, we would absolutely use it. And then the other larger set would be guided reading books and they're boxed sets per grade level K through five. Um fifth grade teachers could use third grade. You know, you can use whatever you need that's in your classroom. So the great thing about it is each box set includes a paired let's say you're meeting with a group that's level. You've got a fiction and non-fiction. And then within that uh baggie is an extensive lesson that the teacher can use before reading, during, and after reading. There's even like a black line master at the back where they could copy and do an activity. And it's all aligned with the teaks. They loved it. They thought it was detailed. And also the the text was very engaging to
034the kids. It was relevant. It all looked like it was interesting and updated and just things like that that we are lacking. We feel like the kids would like. So the total of that set of the category grading box sets was 17,659. So together for both the decodables in that it would be [Music] 20,029. And we just feel as a campus that it would reach all readers and really allow those teachers to add in extra extensions and supplements that we currently don't have. So, um I think I think everyone would use it. They all seemed on board. They loved it. So, hopefully we can get it. If not now, maybe in the future. But that's kind of it in a nutshell. Any questions on the books? Thank you. Thank you. And just to clarify, this
035is coming out of bond money as well. It's coming out of bond money. So it it doesn't meet that required limit. They have to bring it to the board. But as we've said in the past, anything you want to spend bond money on, I'm going to bring it to you guys to be transparent. I still think it would come out of that FFme portion that we've shared with you guys um is specifically earmarked to to supply. So that's where it's coming from. Yes. Perfect. Thank you. Is there a motion to approve the final purchase for the guided reading set in the amount of $20,29.32? All second. Thank you. Any further discussion? All in favor? Any opposed? Great. Yes, sir. Go ahead. Item D. Yes. Miscommunication. Yes. So yeah, go ahead, Mr. B. Well, I just
036we we emailed uh I guess two days ago just kind of the outline of this just so you guys you guys last month asked for more information as kind of where the the balance of our bond budget would be. Um Alice and I both have have spent quite a bit of time going through pay apps and then checks outstanding. We try to attach a spreadsheet just to give you a little more confidence in we have spent several million dollars of interest over the last two years. We've been very fortunate in in doing that. Uh this this last technology spend should clean up everything and this really is a a classroom spend, right? Um, it will not all be spent this year, but if we authorize this spend, then that money is going to be earmarked,
037poed, and then next year, the next phase, the next year, the next phase, and so by year three, we should be through this this portion of money. Are there any questions? So, you said it's in phases. What do those phases look like? What are we doing year one? So, so your your year your one is going to be a a pretty heavy spin. We're we are currently looking at teacher devices if we get one more year out of teacher devices. So, that's that's a question mark. The horsepower PCs in our classrooms, the actual labs, replacing those 10-year-old uh towers is a priority for us. And then probably half of the Chromebooks for the 1 one. Um, and then the interactive displays are going to be uh that will be a an install scheduling. We may
038not be able to get through all of them before school starts. Uh, we have a an agreement, not agreement, we our quote, the 4,000 includes install, wiring, etc. in each of our academic classrooms. And so that's a massive project. And so I don't want to tell you it's all going to be spent this summer on that, but you're So you're looking probably at 600 to 800,000 this summer being being spent. Well, next month probably as soon as Alice gets the PO, we'll start uh we start start looking at at turning these over. The real the real limitation is just what can actually can really be done in the time frame. Yeah. Yes, sir. Not we're not the funds are there. So, we're not we're not putting that in. Yes, sir. And and really we're we're
039we're trying to as much as possible not we don't want to replace every teacher laptop this year. Right. In 5 years we have to replace every teacher laptop again. Yeah. Right. So, we rolled them out. We bought them the last round. We bought them in two phases. Rolled them out in three. But they're still similar ages. And so, elementary's up first, middle school, then high school. Uh, so again, where are we? As we talked about last time, we're going to take all the Chromebooks as soon as we can. We're going to load them up in car. We're going to get them down to that that shop in Austin. They're going to certify everything we can certify to see what we have. Right. We may end up buying all high school, all elementary, and then all
040those leftovers when it's reertified may go to middle school this year. Next year, we may buy middle school. Right. So, so the 150 teacher devices, that's for every teacher. Did we add in any extra or anything like that? I don't I don't we don't I don't believe we have 150 teachers and so the 150 is is Oh, yeah. of of of potential growth. We we quoted 150 at 1500. Okay. Um but we we're not we're not at we're not at 150. I don't anticipate getting to 150. Um but I also Yeah. If this is a threeear spin Yeah. Well, it it's it's uh it's providing the the authorization to spend that as needed up to that. But you wouldn't No, sir. You wouldn't buy anything that you didn't need at this point. No, sir. And
041and and trying to trying to again stretch this out enough so that we can absorb this back into M down the road. Right. Right. We all this has been trimmed out of our, you know, us getting back to balance. None of this money is currently in our budget. Right. Right. So once we get back to balance, we're at another 500 to get this stuff built back into it. So and I I guess this I missed last uh this was a conversation last week. M and so the one the one question I I guess I had I probably should have the but yeah I can't uh to me I don't like I don't like spending bond money that you paid over long period you know on five years assets yes sir but the way I rationalize
042it is we made a lot of or we made there was a lot of interest generated on was that was that the conversation you asset last week or last month. We talked about how we've spent interest on other things. This is not coming out of the interest. Got it. We probably spent interest on things that we Yes. Longer life architecture, backbone. Got it. Fiber, things of that nature. We have uh the and this is not a political statement but the state is severely hindering our ability to be a 21st century learning environment right with our current M budgets and so your your tech refreshes are finding their way into bonds legislators don't like it we don't love it I mean right you don't want a 30-year note on a on a seven-year item right right
043that's right but there's not a at this at this point with the way we're currently being funded. Yeah, I get it. Do some classrooms already have these the interactive displays or is that outfit? There are four high school classrooms with interactive displays for four new ones. The art room, theater have them the renovated spaces. The elementary has flat panels but not interactive flat panels. So we will have uh the new elementary has all interactive flat panels. Now the middle school high school we will start replacing our 12 13year-old projectors with these interactive flat panels in each of the classrooms as well. Good. And is there any kind of um time guarantee on pricing that you've received? Like is it good for Stephen has the quotes. I didn't I didn't print the quotes out. That that's
044Um, we're not we're not going to exceed the spend, right? Right. I mean, we're that's that's uh I mean, we may be at 47 flat panel dis like there's just tariffs. Yeah. I mean, no, I get I get it. Yeah, I get it. But also team the team's limitation is going to be what they can get rolled out in a timely deal, right? And not to buy stuff that's going to sit in a that you got to secure and that you have to make sure and then it's already a year old. Well, that's the, you know, buying all the Chromebooks up front. Well, we don't roll out for 2 years. Well, they're still 2 years old. That it's a pizza point. you know, uh, Steven has a 10-year tech plan laid out, uh, where he
045he we're estimating increases in cost and projecting these costs down the road. So, our Chromebook spend in 6 years, 5 years, is not 400. It's closer to 520 just because we're trying to best guess what this is going to look like down the road because of Yeah. the increase. So, Will we get updated on this like what the spend is every quarter or is easily done? Absolutely. Absolutely. Is there a motion to approve the technology plan purchase out of fun money? Bond money, I'm sorry, as discussed. Second. Any further discussion? All in favor? I believe. Thank you. Thank you.
