001Are they on? Well, good afternoon. I apologize for the delay, but if you see a little something new, we're not holding on to any uh big books here. We decided to do it electronically now, so it's taking us a little learning. So, just bear with us, okay? Um we're going to go ahead and begin. It is 5:37. And I would like to uh thank Dr. Veronica Vera, Mr. Rene Pena, Miss Paty Garcia, and Mr. Jesse Solis for being present today. Miss Gonzalez, do we have any public comments on agenda items? Thank you, ma'am. That moves us into item four, finance. Item 4 A, report on tax collections for the month of September 2025. >> The tax collections report for the month of September 25 is attached for your review. And the report provides collections for
002the current month as well as on a year-to-ate basis. In September, the district had collections of M and INS of zero for current and $289,91455 for delinquent and $106,684.88 for penalties and interest. Other collections included $72,16.72 for a grand total of $468,616.15. >> Thank you, ma'am. Moving on to item 4 A2, report on budget balances for the month of September 2025. It is there for your review. If you all have any questions, uh, please advise or y'all would like Miss Robles to go over it, please let us know. I know y'all are it's new opening pages and zooming in. So, let me know if y'all need some more time. Get your pizza. and board. I apologize. I did not ask you if y'all wanted me to lead. If I were to lead it, then you
003would just simply follow what I'm looking at and reading and zooming in and zooming out. I thought that y'all would prefer if you do it on your own. Is that okay? >> Okay. If there are no uh questions, we'll move on to item 4 A3, report on monthly check register for the month of September 2025. And again, board, it is there for your review. If you have any questions on any items, please uh let us know. Just a quick question. Uh are we still our service is still uh running at Gurya Middle School at all Gurua Middle School? I know we have uh those for city of Lagora for uh imagine it's water services and also electrical services. They still they still >> That is true. We have not cut services there. >> Do you
004need further explanation, Mr. Lopez? >> Yeah. And the only reason I I'm just thinking budget wise like uh is it is it I know air ACS and stuff. I know it's it's it's recommended that we leave them on because of uh what can happen if if they're not on water services. If there's nobody there, what's the purpose behind? >> Yeah. Uh hello Madame President, members of the board. Miss Gara, superintendent of schools. Uh great question, Mr. Pñena. I know that we've talked uh with the superintendent as a cabinet in terms of uh right now we're we're waiting on to see what direction we're going to go with that property in terms of if uh we've discussed different things, you know, are we going to look to eventually sell? Are we going to look to rent?
005Are we going to look to just kind of sit on it for a while? So what we have done up to now is just kind of kept it if we shut down the the HVAC completely were, you know, possible things we we end up maybe in the long run with uh mold and uh things like that. So we're trying to see what direction we're going to go with that property before we decide uh how we're going to handle those situations. My my thing is with the water also Marina. I know that I was there for seven years and we had a lot of water leaks. I mean, and that's water loss. So, if water services are still being uh run there at Gria Middle and there's these water leaks out there cuz I know they
006I know they're out there. >> We're we're going to be paying a bill that >> and we're still going out there uh Mr. Pñena. We're still going and and doing our rounds within the grounds to make sure that those uh things are not happening. So we are on it exactly for those reasons making sure that everything that we don't have water leaks and we're not aware. So we are sending people out there uh to to check on that. >> Uh and I'll be asking you Mr. Lopez Gura Middle School is it independent from the other uh uh campuses near there where we can go back and see directly from the bill what is coming out of Gura Middle School exactly? Is it independent? Yes. >> So then let's go ahead and take a look at
007that so we can have a better response for Mr. Pñena. Okay. >> So we can see how much that is costing us. Okay. >> We will do >> and up to now one has requested to purchase or borrow the >> I I did have uh the mayor of the city of Lagria, Dr. Bara, uh ask what were we going to do with the building. Um I he did mention that they probably could not buy it at this time, but they would uh if they could lease it for some they wanted to do kind of like a boys and girls club in that area. So that that could be a possibility that we could discuss. That's the only thing that has come about. We have not had anything else. >> But nothing official yet. >> Nothing
008is official where they've actually submitted something in writing that they've requested uh nothing official. If there are no questions, we'll go ahead and move on to item 44, report on district staff data for the month of September 2025. In that board, you will also there's a trend and Miss Robles, thank you for that. I did like those reports that I looked at. Um, you will also notice as we had mentioned before, we want to be transparent with everything with you all. Also, you will also be noticing the time reports, I'm sorry, the overtime reports by department and by personnel What happened in September that we had a war? I was looking at that and I'm not sure and I think most of the overtime came from our um the transportation department and also from our
009police department. So, um I know that in September and the and the overtime that you see there from the police department, uh it was paid through a grant. Uh that's when we were sending out letters, uh to students that had already been excessively absent >> and now transportation, >> but that that grant was paying for their for so it wasn't directly impacting our general fund. >> Correct. >> That that was a grant for for that area, not for transportation though. >> Yeah. >> Or maintenance as well. >> Yeah. I I know with uh with transportation it's it's just a non-negot there's really nothing that can be done because transportation is dependent on the trips that the district has uh band trips, athletic trips. So basically transportation is just they're going to do whatever is in
010front of them in terms of the trips that that come our way. So with that one it is what it is. I mean it's not something that we can cut back on. It's just whatever the district trips are that we're the ones that are going to take them. >> And that's when they began more in September because if you look at in August, we actually had a decrease about 28,000. Yes, ma'am. >> Yeah. And and again, the this time of year is is where we are are busiest with the activities of football and band. >> And and I think also it's misleading when you have a grant paying for the overtime of police department. It kind of it it makes it look bigger than what it is. I think that if we look at it,
011I think it'd be about the same from last year. I'm imagining because that's about how much we're we're off. >> And the thing with that, I I know you are doing it, but just to make sure the community knows it's we're making we're we're making sure that the overtime is equally spread out, that it's everybody's given an opportunity to do those, you know, extra hours. >> It's not a select few that keep doing the overtime over time. >> Exact. We have made that very clear in transportation and the employees have reached out to us to let us know that they are very satisfied with uh how the trips are being assigned, very fair, nothing to hide and uh again we're we're getting some good feedback from our employees. If there are no other questions, we'll
012go ahead and move on to item 4 A5, report on quarterly investments. There are no uh questions. We move on to item 4B. Consider and take possible action on donations to Real Grand City Gria ISD. And they are there for your review unless you all would uh like us to name them. We can show them appreciation. >> Donations for the month of September included Adriana Styling Center, Danielle Lopez, Eduardo Ramirez Law Firm, Luis J. Gara and Associ associates O'Reilly Auto Parts, SMP Tax and Express Services, Doctor's Hospital of Renaissance, Gera Family Dentistry, RGC Hospitality, Re Grandandy City Border Patrol Agents, and Foster Angels of South Texas. >> Thank you, Mr. Roles. And you still sending out letters thanking them for the donations to the to the district for the campuses. We'll go ahead and move
013on to item 4 C, considering take possible action on tax refunds for the month of September 2025. We'll go ahead and move on to item 4 D. Consider and take possible action on budget amendment 2026-2. Please let us know if you would like us to explain any of those budget amendments. >> It does have a description at the end of every campus to let you know um the reason why they were moving those funds. So a big one is HVAC service repairs. Um very very big and so people understand that we're having to take care of these issues that as they arise which is Yeah. And that was at uh Ringold High School. No, >> High School. >> Oh, yeah. That was just one chiller. >> Yes. >> For close to about $500 and some
014thousand dollars. Um, now that we're uh talking about that, um, there was I had somebody tell me if we could look into the Guya athletic department, Marin Guya athletic department that they don't have air conditioning. Do they? Does anybody know >> the at the field house? They don't. >> Yeah, that is correct. They do not have uh but it is on order. >> It takes uh a certain amount of time to get here, but we did take fans out there. the issues at the fieldhouse. >> Okay. >> So, we have been aware of that uh since the beginning of September. So, Miss Pñena already took care of ordering the part. We are just waiting for it to arrive. So, that's basically out of our control, but everything is on order. We're waiting for the part
015to get here. So, we did uh give them those fans as to while we're waiting for the part to come in. >> Thank you. >> Had already been addressed. Yeah, we we had addressed this before. >> I think we're at least you're adding some consistency and definitely transparency to that because that's important. >> Yes. >> I had an angry grandma yesterday and it just came up. >> Yeah. No, >> a little bit about the lease purchase of 10 buses. >> I'm sorry >> about the lease purchase of 10 buses. >> Okay. Yes. Great question. uh we we have been talking about this uh again as a cabinet I want to say since maybe June. So this is something that that we have been discussing for a while. Um and then when Miss Pena officially started
016there in the department and uh when when we had our first official meeting with the department in July that was uh as the concerns that the employees came to us uh and again we had already been discussing that as a cabinet but the employees made it clear to us in July that there was a need for buses. uh we were in a situation there in transportation where one bus was fixed but one bus would go down. Two buses were fixed, two buses were go down. So we we couldn't you know make any we couldn't make an advancement. So we through the bond we had already the board again thank you had previously approved uh to buy to purchase five new buses. So now we are looking for another 7 to 10 whatever we it it
017is 10 okay we're looking for another 10 through the lease purchase again for have to have a total of 15 new buses so again very overdue >> and can you just explain a little bit miss roles that the reason that we are going into a lease >> yes so in the past that is how we would purchase uh buses so we would get into a lease agreement we would purchase uh seven uh to 10 buses um and then we would lease and make payments throughout a period of a term of maybe 3 years or four years. So that is basically what we're doing and we're planning on continuing this as soon as we finish with that last payment to get into another lease agreement to continue purchasing um additional buses >> which we're almost done
018with. Correct. >> Okay. And and I want to just add one thing on that. Uh we have activity buses. Uh again, the activity buses are only for road trips. We cannot use activity buses. They must be yellow buses to be able to get into the neighborhoods and pick up and drop off students. So the 15 buses that we will be getting will all be yellow buses. So the focus will be for the day-to-day operations of picking up and dropping off students uh to their campuses. >> What what impact will those will those 15 buses have on the district at the transportation department as as how we're set up now to when we get those 15 buses in? Is it going to make a big impact on our routes or >> It's going to make a
019huge impact. I mean huge huge impact. it again uh uh you know we they are sorely I mean in need we are have been again that's the first thing the employees brought up to us was the need for new buses so again something that that is is very overdue >> all right and they will benefit both the Rande and Lagria am I correct they'll be they'll be benefiting the area of Lagria as well >> 15 buses for across the district. >> Thank you, Mr. Lopez. Any other questions? Let's go ahead and move on to item 4E. Consider and take possible action on change order request to 034 from Gerlock Builders LLC for signage changes requested by principal for Gura Middle School. And um Mr. Garza, I'll let you know if they have any questions or
020they'll go ahead and um ask you directly if they have any questions, but it's there for your review board. I had already reviewed it and I know it was signage inside the building uh that they were misassigned and uh also some other minor detailed and I know we had we had already exhausted our contingency funds no uh Delino so in in that Diana misses who would be responsible for paying for those uh changes >> we can still use the bonds the funds that we have available under proposition >> A and I say that I mean it's a brand new school, might as well get it in in in into play the way it should have been since the beginning. So, those I think that it's something that needs to be done being that it's a
021brand new campus. Okay. Do you all have any questions for Mr. God? Okay. Uh, thank you. We'll go ahead and move on to item 4F. consider and take possible action on change order request 035 from Gorlock Builders LLC from Milwork for library storage for Gura Middle School. Again, it is there for your review. >> They I know they did not have any shelving in the storage area. Am I correct, Mr. >> So, I think yeah, it's very important also because that's where they have all their laptops for testing. Uh and you don't just want them thrown all over the place. You want them in a place where they'll be uh kept safe and and and and in working conditions. So if they don't have any uh shelving in that area, I think it is important
022for them to have them as well. >> It it'll be good for our equipment. >> Definitely much needed. I know they were lacking a lot of space there at Gria Middle School. >> Yeah. >> So that comes in handy. >> No other questions. We'll move on to item 4G. Considering take possible action on change order request 037 from Gorlock Builders LLC for electrical for mixer for Gria Middle School. >> And if you review this from what I saw I think it's for the cafeteria. Correct. >> That is correct. >> That's correct. >> Is it for a sound system inside the cafeteria or something like that or what? >> Why did I think it's an it's an actual mixer for a mixer >> for the cafeteria? >> It was a an item that was not part
023of the plans. It went in and they needed to change. >> What's What's >> It's a dough mixer. >> Oh, it's a dough mix. >> A dough mixer. >> Okay. >> And that would wouldn't that come out from that would be through the food nutrition? No. >> If I'm sick, we can't purchase anything. >> It's a new building. >> New because a new building for the first year. So, this will be coming out of >> Not not even if it's equipment. >> Well, it's not um it's electrical work building. Is it the idea they were trying to make it >> uh full for full kitchen? This is >> correct. This is part of the >> Yeah, >> correct. >> Uh it was something that was needed uh they um requested it from the contractor directly.
024So um uh it's okay. >> It's just something that's needed to get the cafeteria, you know, doing what it needs to do. And and I think once I mean and I'm glad that I saw that it's going to be headed towards a full functioning kitchen which is something that should have been done since the beginning I think and this is a good start uh that we know with the with the getting ready with the electrical work for the for the mixers and I think that as we go along we'll be adding uh until it becomes a full uh functioning kitchen at Gria Middle School which is what the community has been asking for all along. I just want to add that uh this project had a a little over 1% u contingency uh on on
025the project. Uh usually a project uh this size has 4%. So it was quite a bit less and even at the beginning we had 650,000 and it was reduced to 450. So, uh, change orders that are beyond the contingency, you know, is, uh, the way it worked out, it's really not bad. You know, it's where we are with with a total. >> Okay. Very good. Any other questions? We'll move on to item 4. Thank you, Mr. Garza. uh consider and take possible action on pay application number 20 RE from NM Contracting LLC for faculty and student training center at Fort Ringold. >> This is uh their final pay application. There was uh some punch list items that were pending that had uh that had been ironed out and I believe um we're good to go
026on this. You did say this was the final one. Correct, Mr. Garza? Did I >> You said this was the final >> Yes. >> pay application that we had. >> That is correct. Do we have any questions? Okay, we'll go ahead and move on to item 4. I consider and take possible Thank you, Mr. GarcA. Action on proposal agreement with CHLH Engineering LLC for the RGCGISD Gria Middle School kitchen upgrade. Is this good then? >> It's good. There's a structural engineering fee there so we can get started. >> Yeah. Very good. >> It's a good start. >> No questions. Let's go to move on to item 4J. considering take possible action on proposal agreement with CHLH engineering LLC for the RGCGIS child nutrition building old tractor supply building and I'll I will point out that
027these funds are coming out of the child nutrition service If there are no questions, I'll move on to item 4K. consider and take possible action on proposal agreement with CLH CHLH engineering LLC for the RGCGISD family and community engagement also known as the face building >> is this going to be the initial um transformation of the family engagement center for the lead center or >> this is for the lead center for the lead center >> yes Mr. Um you you are seeing in front of you the fees that are being proposed. Um you know the engineering fees that are being proposed based on the amount of whatever the project will amount to. Um, as as of right now, we are using the two buildings here in the back uh to to host our students for
028the lead center, but we are hoping to be able to um repurpose the face uh building and it does need quite a bit of work just as many other buildings on the fort need. But um you know, as after speaking with my cabinet as well, we're trying to hopefully um repurpose one building at a time and I think this is a start. I'm glad with this program because it gives uh kids that were unfortunate, they face unfortunate situations at the time and they're be being given a second opportunity to be able to attain their diploma. I mean that that uh is is an awesome program where you know you give these kids hope that they can still complete high school at whatever age between the ages of 18 26 and and have an opportunity to
029attend a technical school or a college you know. So that's that's something that the district has taken an initiative on and I think that you all are doing a great job with that Miss Garcia along with region one I believe that >> yes with region one. Thank you. >> No other questions will move on to item four. Oh my god L considering take possible action on P school. Miss Trips, you can come forward just in case they have any questions for you [Music] or if you want to I guess while they're reading it just give us a little explanation. I know you all have not been out to trainings. Yes. So this training is taking place in uh uh in the state of Texas this year and we usually these uh trainings usually take place
030out of state. though they're usually in Washington state or in uh Florida. We've had different opportunities to attend, but we do have our two programmers. They're fairly new at using the program two years. And I feel that it's very it'll be very beneficial for them too, as well as myself to go to this training where we're able to interact with other individuals using P school, especially engineers that use our software. This is the software that we use to report all accountability and all everything that has to do with finance and stuff, how we get our money accounting wise. So, I feel that it's very very important for for us to uh to build capacity within our own staff. And we're asking for your approval for us to attend this training, please. Do y'all have any
031questions? Okay. Thank you, Miss Jones. >> We'll go ahead and move uh to item 4 M, consider and take possible action on proposed 2025 2026 high school tutorial program. Great. Necessary. Would you like any explanation on any of those items? We're good. Okay. I'll go ahead and move on to item 4N. Consider and take possible action on requisitions 5,000 and over. You'll see two there. There's an updated and an addendum as well. And again, something that you'll notice there that y'all pointed out earlier, there's a lot of Hback. We've had companies come over and tell us that they we need like um what what do they call it? The like an assessment of our schools to look at our Ajax because I think that we had done one part and we just left it a
032couple years ago and they need are we going to be able to consider doing that? So why we can be proactive and not reactive to all these issues. >> I know we have been discussing bringing someone in to do a comprehensive plan of the of the of the whole district to see where we're at. [Music] >> One of the the biggest thing first of all in regards to our HVAC department, we have great employees. Um our employees, I mean we wish we could hire, you know, 10 employees here in the next week. It's just it's tough. They're they're getting other jobs. They're uh it's one of those positions where where we try and pick up more employees and uh it it's we are understaffed. So again, that that's not on us as a district. It's
033just that that's you know the personnel that we have and we are lucky that those that personnel that we have they do a great job. The problem here in in uh when we took over the department, the biggest issue that we were seeing with HVAC is I will compare it to buying a new car. You buy a new car and then you don't do an oil change in the first two years of having that car, but yet you travel from here to Harlingen and back every single day. So just because you bought a new car and you don't change the oil in 2 years, that car is going to end up in the shop sooner rather than later. That has been our problem with the HVAC. Uh again, our employees are coming in and they
034have their hands full from the time they come in till the time they leave. So, what we're looking for is we're looking to have a service agreement with somebody that will come in on a monthly basis and take care of like uh having an oil change in a vehicle, you know, checking the tire pressure, rotating the tires. Same thing with these big units. They the belts need to check uh be checked. They need to be oiled filters. So with this, we feel very confident that the issues with HVAC are going to go down drastically uh once we have a service agreement where somebody's coming in monthly to take care of all our units. >> Yeah, I think that's very important. I don't think Yeah, >> somebody need to come and tell us, you know what,
035the life of this whatever adapter or whatever they call the things is is only going to be a couple of months, so you should order one now. you know, that way we can be a little more proactive. Correct. >> Um Okay. So then we're not going to look into the option of having like that comprehensive assessment of somebody coming over and doing like a massive >> Mr. Lazo. I think we're going to have a service agreement, let's say. I think we still need to have a comprehensive assessment to see where our units are at unless the same people are doing it. And and again I know in talking to the companies and Miss Pena's been been dealing more with them directly once we have this service agreement and they kind of in 6 months of
036working with us for 6 months they're going to let us know you know what their recommendation is is are we on the right track or do we still need to go to something like that that uh type of comprehensive uh where we go and to get with a company that specializes in helping us in in that area. >> Okay. How long do you foresee Mr. Lopez before we're on track with the AC's like at least to be >> It's very hard Mr. Pñena to answer that right now. Uh I will have a better answer for y'all when this company that we go with if you all approve them get with us in 6 months. uh we are supposed to have a meeting with them in six months and they're going to tell us kind of
037what direction we're heading and what else if anything we need to do. I mean because if you look at the list there you'll see we have quite a bit that's lengthy it's >> list breaking down here things breaking down over there so we really don't know >> and and that's where and that's why I'm saying we are blessed with with a great department our our workers are are doing a great job it's just overwhelming it's overwhelming and and uh that's where this service agreement will will play a a huge part in bettering uh that department. >> As long as we get consistency and visibility, which seems like what you're providing, that's what's necessary. So, it's to >> maybe reduce the cost long term. >> Correct. >> Or in the long run. >> That's the plan.
038Thank you. >> Any other questions for Mr. Lopez? All right. Thank you, sir. We'll move on to item 4. Consider and take possible action on requisitions or task policy CH logo purchasing and acquisition. And though I wish to show you all one of these uh meetings board that we have zero items in that uh in that area. Uh we do have a couple How was that? Do y'all have any questions? Okay, we're going to move on to item five, business operations facilities 5A, consider and take possible action on request to use school facilities from Scouting America for recruitment. This is for the boys boys and girl scouts now. So we usually do it every year. So >> correct. >> That shouldn't be >> the only thing it says to use school facilities. Are they going
039into the high schools and are they going into the campuses? Is that what it is? Okay. >> Yeah. >> Just to recruit just to like >> to recruit. >> But it's been an ongoing thing. We've had it for a while already where they go in and recruit kids. I think one of the teachers at Gurya Middle School is leading at one point their their group there. So I think kids get motivated in participating in stuff like that because it's new to them. >> So if I'm not mistaken, yes, it should still be going on. >> Okay. >> There are no other questions. We'll move on to item 5B. Consider and take possible action on request to use school facilities from revision focus to showcase star EOC. and that there's an individual that is requesting to
040meet with Rio High and Guru High >> to uh showcase uh the materials that she has to assist with English one and English two. And at this point she is just requesting uh to be able to visit both uh campuses >> both Gury High and Rio and Rio High School. Correct. >> The two areas that are in need. No. English. >> Correct. English one and English two. >> English one and English two. >> So she would offer consulting services or even andor materials but of course she would meet with the principles beforehand. Let's go ahead and move on to item 5 C. consider and take possible action on request to use school facilities from Texas Health and Human Services for annual program manager/supervisor meeting. You'll see the dates here that they are requesting it their
041way in advance and they're going to be setting up and cleaning up. >> Yes, ma'am. I it doesn't say they would need somebody for >> to hire custodial services or >> Oh, they it says they need a projector and microphone, but I imagine >> we don't have anyone. Correct. It's just the I guess ability to be able to do so. >> Do we have any questions on that item? Okay, let's go ahead and move on to item six, office of human resources 6A. Consider and take Thank you, Miss Robles. Considering take possible action amending compensation plan 25 2025 2026 >> good evening madam president members of the board superintendent schools Garasa on your pass out we do have several sections for the recommended compensation amendment for October uh we have the professional staff we have
042budget amount and the amount We need to complete that position, that full-time position we're requesting. And we have one teacher who's replacing himself who recently became certified. And we have a substitute existing vacancy who's going to take over a third grade slot. So will be a district of innovation teacher. So from the SIV to the full-time teacher, that's the budget amount on the on the right hand side. The next section is a pair of professionals. We do have um an internal paygrade where an instructional aid once they receive their degree they go from a pay grade one to a pre pay pay grade six. In this case this pair of professional has been in the district for a long time. So the total amount is $67 to complete that paygrade six. And we've identified two
043substitute bus aids one bus aid and one substitute clerk at a middle school who we first planned to be permanent subs. At this time we're asking for those full-time positions. I did include the full amount. However, since these substitutes were budgeted in a different account, the difference is not much, but we went ahead and were transparent about that about the full amount. On the next section, you see our auxiliary. We have some positions that have been repurposed. For example, we're proud to say one of our maintenance workers, welder, who was an assistant now received a structural engineer, I'm sorry, his structural welding certificate, and we want to move him to the proper pay grade. Uh we have plumber position that we had as a as a as a full-time position. We're moving that to a
044maintenance worker. In other words, we're shifting positions to where we need them on on positions that we lost. We have uh another maintenance worker, welder, and we have in the August board meeting, we had two substation coordinators that we moved to mechanics. We've had hard we've had a hard time picking up mechanics in the transportation department, and we did pick up one this past month. However, we want to relocate that same money back to assistant transportation coordinators. So, we've gone from substation coordinators to mechanic from mechanic back. We're going to make these assistant. So, those are a savings of of close to $1,500 each, $1,200 each. On the last uh second to last, you see the ROC stable attendant. This position uh the employee retired. And what we want to do is we want to
045use that that salary to be able to complete all our custodians and especially they're found at the elementary level to going from 7 hours to 8 hours. So those employees would those all those custodians would go from 7 hours to 8 hours leaving the whole complete custodial staff at an 8 hour day. So what we would do use that position to cover the cost of making all our seven-hour custodians to eight hour and that our whole custodial staff will now be eight hours. On the next on the la on the next you see two food service workers and that's the difference and this is the 101 funding and on the last we see we brought to you in the last board meeting we had a a proposal of having a district elementary middle school and
046high school representatives as for the counseling and we had closed the director of guidance cl c counseling. We did not proceed with that plan. So now we're respectfully asking the board to revert back. We hadn't paid those stipens out. revert back to the original plan where we're cancelelling those stipens and keeping the FTE for the director of counseling. >> Any questions? Okay. Move on to item 6B. Considering take possible action on agreement with region one personnel co-op. >> Yes, ma'am. This is on your board book and this is every year. This is to renew personnel support services, you know, from recruitment assistance, HRPDs, and again, this just a renewal agreement with region one for personnel support services. We respectfully recommend approval. Okay. All right. >> Thank you, >> Dr. U. We'll move on to item
0477A, discussion and possible action to authorize the superintendent to hire a real estate agent and to begin advertising for sale of the paying property and the solicitation of bids for the property. And this board basically is just allowing us to start moving forward um to begin with the sale of of paying property. Have we looked at appraisals yet as to what the building is valued at currently or what was valued when it was purchased and how much we can probably go out there? I know that we're getting ahead of the game, but something to look at as to more or less have an idea when the when this uh >> valued at right now. Do we have any of that its value as of now? Okay. But that's something that that we'll look in and
048let you all know where we're at >> only and because when the real estate agent appreciate, they're going to want to know like what is it valued at um for sale purposes. And uh I think that we need to get our uh you know whatever we can to retrieve that that amount back and bring it back to the district. >> And I know this item you will see it again in our next uh in our regular board meeting. Okay. Uh so this is just so we can start having those conversations before we meet again next week. Any other questions? Right.
