We are here at the district office and we are available um via Zoom and live stream on YouTube. All board members present. The superintendent and business manager are also present. Um If you are here to speak to the board, please fill out a speaker card and pass that forward. And if you want to turn your phones to silent or vibrate, turn off. Maybe. Be hopeful. Thank you. Um And let's do the pledge of allegiance. Jacob, will you lead us in the pledge? >> Yeah. >> Thank you. >> I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic

002for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Uh mission statement. Who are we? Excuse me. Mission statement. Our mission is for each student first every day. All right. Um announcement. The proposed tentative budget for fiscal year '26-'27 includes a pro- pro- Sorry, proposed property tax rate. Yes. Right. Uh approval of the agenda. >> I would move to approve the agenda as presented. >> Is there a second? >> I second. >> Dave Bearsch makes a motion. Jenna Woodbury seconds to approve the agenda as presented. All those Those in favor say I. >> I. >> That passes 5-0. Next is the budget officer statement. Business manager Jerry Hamilton will read the budget officer statement. Grand Pine School District Board of Education is formally notifying the public that the tentative

003fiscal year 2026-2027 budget and all budget discussions do include a proposed tax rate increase. So, thank you. Okay, budget officer property impact statement. So, in your red folders, um there is an updated impact statement, so you have um Oops. It might be on the agenda, too. Did we send it? >> It is. >> Um For those of you that are used to this meeting and used to this, there's an updated one right there. Uh I I won't walk you through it entirely, just property taxes um estimated revenues came in higher than the county was anticipating. So, the capital levy that we proposed to be um increased to 0.001469, is that >> 2.001425, and I will get more into that when we have the budget discussion. >> Is that stated here? >> Under the where it

004says proposed. >> Oh. Oh. >> Yes. So, this is just updated because we got the tax the actual revenue numbers from the state. >> Mhm. Um Next. Uh Public comments, are there any public comments? All right. Board recognitions. All right, we are recognizing Maddie Prince. This Let her stand up. >> [laughter] >> Maddie won the 2A coach of the year for track, she continued. It's Yeah, she's hurt to be recognized. Do you want to want to speak? Jacob. You work with her closely. You're she's your partner in fact and crime. >> I guess Um yeah, so she won coach of the year this year for the women's coach of the year. Um kind of cool the way that works is all the other schools nominate coaches. You can't nominate someone from your own school. Um

005and then all the three-way coaches vote on that. So that award is voted on by her peers. And so I think she, you know, it's to show all the great work that she does within the track program. She likes to say that she's like, "Oh, I'm not very vocal. People don't know who I am." And I'm like, "Well, obviously they do know." So she does a great job. >> Congratulations. You're welcome to make out. I don't know if Tish wants to give up that baby though. See you guys. Oh my gosh. Um Moving on to the information and discussion items, and school fees, FI school fees, fines, charges. I have to Oh, I have to say that public hearing at 6:00. >> Oh, oh, I'm sorry. I'm just saying you're doing that. >> Yeah, sorry.

006>> I'm a little slow. >> Um So we have to move down. Okay. School School fees. Are we Who's I Am I presenting on that? Okay. So, um this is at the work session a couple weeks ago, there was the school fees were presented um along with the changes to the policy that needed to be made. So, the policy now includes the verbage about McKinney-Vento are considered fee waiver students. That needed to be added in. We have our own policy for McKinney-Vento, but it also needs to be added to the fee waiver policy. And then um updated fee schedules. They changed slightly from what was presented at um the work session. The biggest one being the middle school added the National Honor Society fee. And um took off Did you have the science lab fee

007on there at that time? Maybe took off the science fee. We cannot charge a fee for science lab. And then What's that? The high schools changed. The yearbook. I don't know. What's the number on that? What should we do What do we do about that? Oh, we took off the yearbook fees on the high schools. And the middle school schedules. Why is that? Because anything that's on the fee schedule is fee waiver. Oh. Oh. And so um so the if if a fee is on the fee schedule, then um it is subject to if if the student qualifies to be a fee waiver. Mhm. So, um So, there's no fee, so the yearbook is just optional optional to purchase. You can purchase a yearbook, but it's not required. So, it's not on the fee schedule.

008Um It's kind of the way to look at it. If it's optional or um a core class, it's um not on the fee schedule. So, those were the two big changes. The other change was just that verbage at the bottom on both schedules that talks about McKinney-Vento and any of the other fee um potential ways to qualify for a fee waiver that have to be included on on our schedules. >> And this is an ancient mariner today. >> Did you clarify my question about the supplies? The >> Sure. No, I did I did not have I was going to ask her that question. Definitely. >> Okay. Any questions about those? >> We're voting on the fee schedule as well, not just the policy. >> Mhm. So, for that one, it's mainly >> Thanks. Um you've

009gone to policy review. The uh attached um are some are the policies that the policy committee has gone through. Um and these are the ones that we uh we found didn't have much to discuss or for clarification. Um however, if the board has that, please speak up. >> a question. Um I just need some clarification, so I thought maybe that could be explained. So, under the um sex-designated athletic activities programs and events, um >> Which one? Which >> Well, that's I'm sorry, FABA. Um >> I'm looking for the [clears throat] order for doing the video. >> Okay. Basically, male students and they define what male is and then what female is separately, but male students you know, can't play the the female that whole thing. Um so, I guess >> You have a page that

010we're looking at. Oh, it's only >> Yeah, it's only one. I was looking at that the part where it's been added in the however, however a student may participate in the interscholastic activity governed by the U H S A A uh which does not correspond um if the student has obtained eligibility approval from the school activity eligibility commission. So, my question is um who is the school activity eligibility commission? That's state, right? That's not local, right? Okay. And then um what do you Is there a way for me to find out? I'm just curious what that looks like this um this application or whatever it's approve you know, for the eligible to obtain the eligibility approval. Like what what that is. Do you Do you have any information about that part that to apply so

011they can do >> I I don't >> I mean? If you can do anything about that part? >> I don't have um any information specifically about that school activity eligibility commission is. So, that's something that we can do. >> Yeah. >> Definitely get some information on. These are just on the agenda that we posted. So, I'll have more questions later in depth discussion. >> Okay. >> As that goes, but that's one we can do. >> But if we get asked about that and and and also if again, we can do this later if another clarification. So, I know that we have certain sports that are they're considered the school sports sports and then we have the things that I guess for for something let's just say I'm going to use the example of cheerleading. So,

012if you have um a student who is born male um has all the male sex organs or whatever, that is something like cheerleading, is that would that be considered okay for them for that male to participate in because cheerleading is more like they can have male and female. You know what I mean? Like those So, those kinds of things can still happen, but your traditional football versus softball or football versus girls basketball, those are more of the hard line. Unless they receive this >> Most of that discussion that I the hot topic is is volleyball. San Jose State's been there. >> Okay. I didn't even know that. Okay. >> Both were challenged for this um at the at the higher education um but if volleyball, for example, where some field that there might be some

013significant advantage or disadvantage. And really again, this ball is more policy and heavily relying on who should to the the guidance and what we can and can't do with these situations for sports. >> Right. Okay. I mean >> But I would like I do think it's good to point out I think you see find out what the school activity eligibility commission how how that works and it's comprised of >> I think you know >> But I think with like cheerleading, I truly believe anybody could join cheerleading. It's not >> Because it's >> But but if it was something like football or soccer >> Like soccer, you know, that's just >> You know, like >> Well, that's football. >> That would Yeah, that would be that. >> Yeah. >> Football. >> And it it appears to

014be I mean, there is some I I guess you each individual sport may be unique because you have um and I think it was even brought up when we moved to eight person football that it's not necessarily paid man football hence eight person because they do have >> Right. >> um female athletes participating in that in in in certain schools. And so I think there may be some some way to differentiate on what that looks like. So >> Okay. >> Something to look at. >> You'll follow up. >> I will. >> Thank you. >> Any other um let's see we have Who's the ECC F EBC EEE EEE EEE EEE EEE Who's E? E here. A C D E A J F A B A F E A F B A B F D A

015C A Um and a lot of the discussion with policy committee was um This is there were a lot of code and even though we might agree or disagree and some controversial things that would be in these policies we locally are just following state codes with these basics. So um kind of hard with some of our ideas. Because Any other questions, discussion? Um staff and committee reports. We have board committee reports. Marilyn, do you have any? >> Um that was kind of we we we cancelled our June coalition meeting and then the safe food safety was cancelled as well. So >> Okay. >> Um same. >> Okay. I think so. No. I mean I did go to the maturation but I think was that talking about the floor? >> Yeah. >> 50 I think. >>

016Okay. Uh business administrator report. >> So you have a copy of the annual fraud risk fraud assessment that we um have to complete and then send to the state auditor. Um the only thing really to draw your attention to is item number five. Um that's a not a yes or a no, it's just not a check mark. Uh Matt and I have both been busy and didn't really do a great job in helping train all of you on this assessment. But, if you'll notice at the top, we still earned 375 out of 395, which which still keeps us in very low risk category overall. And I just submitted this to the state's auditor and Oop. >> And just so on that note, too, a little bit of a handoff as we transition with Luke Jerry,

017um and what the process has been historically, uh even when I was enrolled as administrator, of understanding exactly how we're tracking. I know the board has their documents, or they do a lot of tracking on on their specific training and maybe having stronger communication and discussion, uh or if that >> What I wrote in the doc. Say it again, what you wrote in the doc. >> The problem with that particular one, though, is the last sentence, within 4 years of term appointment. So, that's a long time. >> [laughter] >> We I took it we I think we Yeah, we took it this year. >> Like since January. >> Or I saw online, right? Just the online one. >> And that's just if I can look on the Google and he's like you have to select

018it but you may all have taken it. However, um if last year I this this was the thing that got pulled in the audit in getting the documentation to show that. I I did not want to find it, so rather than uh do we I aired on the side of caution by leaving it blank there. >> Yeah. >> But, just for that is that is a difficult one, but maybe that's something we can focus on here about making sure streamlining that process for any >> Yeah, every every and every time we whether that's open meetings or any type of training, once you complete it, you should be either emailing that to Jerry or um basically every time. >> Yeah, I think we I just checked it in that Google Doc that I did. >> Yeah,

019and it needs to be sent. Yeah. Cuz you'll sometimes get a certificate, not out every time though. >> But if you if you if you do forward non-conformance submission. >> I feel like you've got that that four years one is not one that's an annual one. That's just a once. But I can I I'll double check and see if >> We're going to do that for a fact. >> Still true. >> Actually to your point that you mentioned earlier, if you look at the overall score on a broad risk assessment, we are still extremely extremely low. >> My question, so in the past, number three, does the entity have a licensed or certified expert as part of its management team? >> So, in the past we have. >> Yeah. >> We won't we won't have

020that going this year. >> Okay. >> They'll tell me if I need to do something. >> Yes, you're going to go get a CPA? >> Yeah. >> Oh. You've got some stuff >> No, I don't have a CPA. >> You've got some stuff you got a CPA. >> Yeah. >> You know, I yeah, I'll let you know if I need to do >> Yes, I am. >> I'll let you I I'll call >> Thank you. >> Mhm. >> I guess really I had to I'm like >> [laughter] >> So, me as well. Um And then at the bottom, number 11, does someone authorize payroll payments who is separate from the person who prepares payroll payments? Yeah, you said no. >> Oh, no. I I I audit the payroll before it is posted, but Krista posts

021it. So, she prepares it, I audit the reports before it's posted, um and then she goes in online and posts it. So, she both prepares it and posts it, but I audit it I audit it in between those two. >> Okay. >> I audit the timesheets that are handed in with the payroll journals. >> So, that wouldn't be a that isn't a yes? That's still a no, huh? >> [clears throat] >> Yes. prepares and posts. Is that why you said that? >> That's That's a no. >> The authorized artist stuff. >> But you're okay. >> She's She's authorizing it to be posted, not just actual posting. Okay. >> So. >> Wouldn't that just be a change of >> Probably not. So, we agree there, but >> But couldn't that just be changed so you could

022get a It's not worth any points, I guess. >> any points. >> Man, the She does both duties. They're just audited in between, so I just Mhm. It's kind of gray, so I just said no to be on the safe side. >> Okay. All right. Um any other This is your So, your board report. Any other things? >> No, the rest of it's in the public hearing this week. >> Superintendent report? >> Okay, so a couple of quick updates. Um Construction at HMK is we've we've got two different [clears throat] projects going on. Um both are going full steam right now. Uh Continuing to to work on getting the preschool original project completed as quickly as possible. We have had some setbacks. Um but we're working through those and and turning it in a in

023a positive direction. Um the plaza project is going swimmingly so far. Um all of that is actually looking really good with all of the stuff um having been taken out and they're starting to pack dirt in there and grade and things like that. So, very excited about that. I attended the uh Utah School Superintendents Association annual meetings last week. Um there's some things to be very excited about and there are some things to be cautiously optimistic about and there are some things that we'll continue to struggle um as as as we implement legislation. Um also very active in the JLC process already for the legislative session that will be upcoming in January. And seeing where that goes. >> You have been or >> I have >> Okay. >> I have I have been. Um we

024kind of got a little bit of a teaser from um Dr. Knight, Governor Cox's education guy, on um what might be coming in the last two years of the governor's administration. I think it's going to be heavily focused on apprenticeships. And he did give a little bit of a tour of the controller's office and set some of their apprentice um program. So I think it's um quite possible. I don't know how quickly [clears throat] we'll see that. Um this legislative session or the next, but quite possible that will be a big push. I think we're posed in a great position um to actually kind of be part and hopefully lead out on that depending on how it comes down the pike with um the addition of the CQOE online in enrollment and expanding our Cato

025Center, which is now Apex grant. Um and and really we're in great shape to execute on that. Uh I do I can't say that as of right now, knock on wood, for the time being we're completely staffed um with certified staff. We were able to find the next science teacher and a couple of elementary teachers, so that's exciting. Um yeah, I can't believe how quickly we are preparing for the beginning of next year. Um seems like last year just ended, but we're full steam ahead. And going from there. Trying to think, I'm sure I'm missing a bunch. Um let me know if you have any questions. I am still continuing to to visit with the county about their um their plans and with the a new public safety building and how that might interact with

026the school district and what they're like um So we'll probably be inviting you back for another facilities committee meeting and then some more direction on their plan and just see um you know, kind of what direction we want to start going going on. Yeah, I know I'm forgetting a bunch, but any questions for me? >> Are you No, no. I have monthly school reports. Hatch being special land report >> On monthly school reports before you get into it, uh historically I think Jill pointed this out, we have not done those for the month of July, all right? So, unless directed otherwise, I think we'll just stick with that plan. >> Mhm. Yeah, they're not working, so is there a way >> I'm just saying I'm just saying I'm just saying I'm just saying I'm just

027saying I'm just saying I'm just Sure there's Sure there's some that would like to see >> But some people show up still. But you don't have to do a report. Okay, any questions for Jill? All right. Um >> Please excuse tonight. She is attending um the lady schools summit in Dubai right now. >> Okay. Do you have any questions to for Holly to follow up with her? >> um or with the HMK data, is this is there is there new stuff here, or was this stuff from It is new stuff that we Yeah, the RISE stuff is new. Okay. >> She just said she >> And there didn't have a lot of anything. >> There There is a lot of it, and I'm sure if you have any specific questions, then shoot an email to

028Holly. >> Yeah. >> Or let me know what you got on Holly and >> year long. >> Cuz RISE is done in May mostly. >> And it's just raw data that you're looking at. It's not the final data that you get like in October. Looks like Yeah, we don't get the DLA data though like regards. We can get it until um later because it was only in September. We just don't get that data until probably because they have to you grade it or you know, you validate it so. >> All right. If you do have questions for Holly, email her and just CC the board so we might have the same. I wouldn't miss something or so. Uh middle school report? Any questions for Carrie? Are these these goals are they tied to Where are

029you? Sorry, I didn't see you. Um are they um tied to >> the drastic >> Yes, thank you. Okay. And then so some of these um follow-ups like um middle of the year meetings were difficult to do because of time restraints is one of the things. Is that a at the end of the year you get a survey for the teachers or is that just was that that's always been part of this goal number four? >> Um it was at the it was always a part of the goal and then that was just my own reflection on the flight of a what what could be better to help the school. >> Okay. >> Um and I uh I didn't reach that part of that goal. >> So out of these goals we are on in

030our like I guess met on our time frame of like these kind of goals things we're looking at these again. Um and we're stating them are we assessing some of these goals out and flushing them out? Is there a timeline on this kind of stuff? >> I'm not sure I'm following the question. As far as the goals that relate to HRS or and what the timeline is there. >> And our like what we're being presented of is there it's goal reflections, right? I guess this is Carrie's. I didn't see anything else from other people but like are we So in HRS is there a you know, is there um the what what's the process in these type of goals of like now we're going to reflect and now what? >> I think we're talking about

031and I they're on the loop because they are not but with our HR HRS goals there are a structured timeline of like right now we're working with a certifier and a representative of Marzano to verify where we're at. Dot document that or take that documentation and send it to Google slides to their app model and then certify we're at level one and we move on to the as far as the individual school campuses and their goals, we're looking at this as kind of what the board of directors is kind of a pseudo 90-day plan type of thing where we're we're setting out what our goals are uh reporting what we did, reporting the results of that, reflecting, and deciding, okay, what do we need to do to get to our goals? Is this goal still

032important? And going through that cycle just repeat weekly um throughout the school. Does that answer your question? >> Yes. But I have a follow-up. So something like Sorry for picking on I'm not really picking on you. I'm just like go trying to figure out what our role in something like this. And so it like you know, like the smart goal kind of thing of like ESL instruction went well, but more training is always needed. Agreed. But >> Okay. >> what does that mean? Like as if you're going to put that if that's >> So the board >> as a board like I I guess it's just like either data or do we need both? >> Well, in answer to your question about what the board can do, that's really we're laying the foundation for that

033in the retreat >> Okay. >> next week. >> Okay. >> where we are having that in-depth conversation and we kind of bounced that a little bit with just some questions last time to reflect on. But deciding as as a board um you know, why are we here? What is it we want to accomplish? How do we accomplish that? What do we have what value, you know We all have varying interests. So obviously we all care about the public education and putting each student first every day. But where are the core categories that we can align on and take that vision of where we want the district to go. And that's the board's role in setting those parameters, managing the budget, looking at the data. Then once we have that outlined and and kind of as

034our uh published strategic plan, if you will, tying that in to the school levels and where are those needs? What are those needs and where is the board committed? Do we need more money for, you know, instruction? Do we need, you know, to rearrange resources? What where you come in with, you know, your your standards and your policy resources and then we'll be reviewing that and interlining that. So, having that uh overreaching kind of plan that then administrators can align where they need to go with their individual buildings to is the is the plan and the first step of that is really fine-tuning our strategic plan as a board. Um in that, therefore, we know what is the board's drawing. You know, um what are the board's guidelines and what are the board's guardrails? Uh

035really clarifying that. And so, yeah, make sure the sale is complete, and we'll be starting the process. That? >> Yep. >> And am I talking in circles? I feel like I'm talking in circles, so >> Well, you have to keep reminding me, so that's probably why you're talking in circles. Okay, any questions for Carrie about her report specifically? Yeah? >> Nobody. Okay, then. >> Sorry. I heard you added. Okay. Um high school. >> Um, what is the ACT composite prediction? >> Um, on the scores for the state Aspire test? >> Yeah. >> Okay. It's the um, average composite prediction of how the students will do. >> Oh, based on their scores here. >> their score, yeah. It's your baby. >> I don't think so. >> So, it it is just the how how the students

036will do as an average. Not individual students and their own because every >> Every student gets their own prediction. >> Right, okay. So, the composite average the ACT would be 18 in 2025. Am I right? ACT composite. >> You should figure out >> You can figure If you go to I'll fit. Did you see the thing where it says fit? >> We have old eyes. >> I Let me see if I can read my writing and my numbers. This little light helped. something else. We'll come for the media. I would Yeah, I would. I'm just stalling. >> If you say just a reminder, you got 4 minutes. >> I know, that's what That's why I'm stalling. >> So, if you have any questions, >> I'm stalling. If you have any questions, >> just get them

037out now, cuz you're going to get cut off. >> [clears throat] >> After recess? Hey, any questions? All right. >> [clears throat] >> So, I just want to Well, I just recess right now. Is that okay? >> Mhm. >> Okay. Uh I'll accept a motion to recess. Meeting the regular board meeting. Is there a second? >> I'll second. >> You know what? Bernie makes a motion and Lord Lord Green seconds to recess the regular board meeting. Um all those in favor say I. I think it passes. That passes 5-0. We will recess at 5:58. >> This is the worst thing. Is it going to open it? >> No. >> What should I I'll say for you? >> Okay. >> She doesn't need to Yeah, but he didn't even look at me the whole night. Yes.

038He didn't even talk to me. The first meeting, the rest of the meeting was fine. Is that good for you? I don't know. I don't know what you're saying. I mean, I'll be offended if you leave. If you miss the rest of the asset, but you're free to go. Right? I don't know what I did that night. Does that make sense now? What I said No, it's probably coaching. >> It's Spanish. >> No, it's not. No, I don't know what I'm saying. >> It's like I can't even say it. >> There's a small percentage of English. Um, it's all gibberish. >> Are you happy? >> I can't go on. >> I don't know what to >> Like I got my eyes open the whole night. Still paying attention. >> And he'll find her. Get him

039off the plane. >> I just need you to hold her hand. So, you never know what you're going to end up doing with this map. What's the matter? Who's this man? You know, makes me want to show up and just do it. So, 37 minutes. Come out anytime. and whatever. Just the specific You've got the the specific for And then you remember Yeah. I'm here. And the reason that like I to do this. Don't want to do it. Then um what you'll do is I have where I have It's right there. would be out. So, cuz that's where we would be. These are from These are the auditors. These are audit expenses. Anyways, that was Am I showing all four of them? Am I lying? Yes. Granted to say that Wait. Yeah, you're only going

040to get that. It's 37 minutes. It's a one. I did I just wanted to do something that way. That's what I did I Oh, so you're I was speaking. Okay. All right. I am I don't know how many times I've had to do this motion. What's that? To do what? You need to go to the gallery in public. Yeah, we're going. Okay. Oh, we're coming out of recess at 6:02. No. Yeah? Or is that a recess for that meeting and or am I starting a new I'm not starting a new meeting. >> We're starting a public hearing. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Going into a public hearing. >> Okay. Uh coming out of recess at 6:03 and we are going to go into a public hearing. Um and I do need a motion to go into

041a public hearing. Yeah. Um I'll accept a motion to go into uh public hearing for the budgets for budgets and tax rates. >> I move we go into a public hearing for budget What was the other match? >> And tax rates, so >> I'll second that. Xavier Shorter makes a motion, Katherine Shorter seconds to go into a public hearing uh to talk about uh final budget and tax rates and tentative budget as well. Um any discussion? All those in favor say I. >> I. That passes 5-0. We will start our public uh hearing at 6:03. Jeff Gerick Oh, I'm going to I'm going to do that before I do the tentative budget. >> Okay. >> So, we put when we move into that one because that pertains to that part, not this part. So, Okay,

042so for this one, this is the final revision for the school year 2025-2026 budget. Um, we just did the mid-years at the end of April, so there are not a lot of changes, but there are some changes. So, if we scroll down to the second page, um, again, like all of the budget presentations, the that first page of actual budget is a summary of fund 10, so we will come back to this this page. And then, let's go to the second page. The second page is the revenues. Um, the biggest thing to point out here, can you hit the plus and make that a little bit bigger? Awesome. Okay. Perfect. Okay, so we are going to be looking in the blue column, which is the budget revision for, um, for the end of year. Uh,

043the biggest thing that probably that jumped out to me when I did them that, um, is the local revenues, the property tax revenues, they are up just shy of 200,000. Um, honestly, the biggest part of that is the redemptions from Grant County came in much higher than anticipated. Lots of back taxes, um, were collected and paid. Um, all of my redemptions are over 100% of what they had anticipated or estimated them to be. So, the biggest jump out there was >> [clears throat] >> the biggest change there is redemptions um that have now been realized. And then if you cruise down to the next one, the state sources, there weren't any mid-year or after the mid-year updates, there weren't any final updates that changed. Those are kind of the above the line funding sources um

044from the state. None of those um changed. So, nothing new there to discuss. Moving down to kind of the below the line, it's up a tiny bit than than mid-year, but not a lot. The biggest change again there is the state PILT and the mineral lease funds from the county got a little bit more than um had been anticipated um but not I mean it's up $6,000 a little bit here and there through a couple of programs, but nothing really significant. So, if you cruise down to the second page, and you can pause and ask me a question anytime you have to. Um, so if you cruise down to the next page of the revenues, this is the federal sources of funding. There's two two in there um that will jump out at you. The

045first one is the federal forest funding 66 or 76.99. We had $9,150 at mid-year, and it's actually 21,159. We typically only get one round of federal forest funding around 9 to $10,000. We got a second round in late May for $11,000. So, that big surprise, unexpected. It was about It was just shy of 12. Um, so bonus there. And then the other one you'll see is program. I think I gave it 7802 right under title one. It says title one {dash} CSI for 55,000. That's the additional funding that we're receiving from the state for um HM K um in the CSI status. That money is now available on Utah Grants. >> Explain what federal forest is. >> It's money that we get that's allocated to us. >> Because they make money off the forest? And

046we profit in it? >> I don't I I don't know. It's only to rural schools. Um I don't know if it's something that's a >> Only certain districts federal land impacted >> I think Yeah, okay. >> It's only to rural schools. No idea about the got to. >> No no problem. I just thought maybe I needed to go get some more trees cut down or something. >> Have two more. Um so those are the two big changes on the federal side. So if we scroll down to the bottom of that um >> Is that sorry, you'll probably hit that on Spencer's that CSI is that allocated? Does is that mostly staff? How do you Do they tell you how to >> Holly wrote the plan. Holly and Jill wrote the plan for that. And then

047I pulled the budget off of Utah Grants that they have input it in there. >> So you had to apply for it? >> No, it was given to us but but we >> those funds according to the >> But I still have to request reimbursement. >> We We have to submit the CSI by no later than June 30th which has been submitted. >> And it's mostly staff. >> Is it Is it supplementing staff or is it extra staff? >> Hiring an additional like three quarter time para. So it's part of the plan. Jill could answer that question. >> We didn't get the funding that we originally thought we were going to get. So >> For that particular >> not as much for the CSI. >> We thought we were going to get more. >> And

048that's not new. >> So if you'll go back to the bottom of page And CSI is a federal It falls under the federal. It's in the It falls under title one, which is federal. >> Okay. >> But it's through the state. >> It's yeah, it's it is channeled through the state. >> Okay. >> So you'll see there that um media revenues were estimated to be 28.3 million. Final estimates is 28 just shy of 28.6. Again, biggest reason is redemptions. The collections of backs and outstanding taxes uh way more than the county had anticipated. So that's the biggest fund I mean there's the a little bit of extra from the grants, but the biggest jump comes from We're going to eventually that Not eventually, but >> I'm not budgeting that much next year because there was

049such a huge collection this year. >> in there waiting to see if it's super clean. >> Yeah. >> So down on the next page, page five, is the um We'll walk through the expenditures of the general fund. Again, not huge changes here, a little bit. You'll notice there in the introduction. Um the staff the salary costs are down a little bit. Honestly, the biggest part of that is uh staff changes throughout the year now, which is chewing up the numbers. Uh you'll notice that the substitute teachers, not as many substitutes the last couple of months of the year versus what we had originally budgeted, so that's down quite a bit. Uh Aides are down just a little bit, not a lot, just that's just a function of We've had a couple of them leave that

050we didn't rehire till once the end of this school year. They are certainly uh are looking to be replaced in the next couple of months in the next school year, but as we finish out this year. So no big surprises there. Um nothing really out of the ordinary. The only other big one that will probably jump out is if you cruise down to purchased services under line item number 700 equipment and tech equipment. I increased that budget to almost 115,000. A big part of that is some of the new smart TVs that the campuses purchased for um some teachers that wanted them. Couple of them for the new preschool and a big chunk of that is the Chromebooks going into next school year. Um so no no big changes there. Um The next section, student

051services, um don't really have any big changes there. Nothing nothing stands out. I mean, the paras are down just a little bit. Again, had a couple of them leave spring break time, weren't replaced by the end of the year. They're um will be hired if they're not already or next school year, so um staff staff services, again, no big changes in any of these. That one's almost exactly the same. I mean, a couple hundred bucks off, so you cruise down to the next page. We'll go into the district administration, school administration, and business services. Um no big changes here. I made the changes in the business services where in midyear the budget was quite high. I re- reduced it back down. Uh just had a couple of people that were in the wrong accounting code,

052and so moved those around. Um So it brought that budget back in line with where it where it should be. So no change no big no big changes there. Um cruise down. You can questions certainly if you have them. Not a lot of big changes cuz we just did this in April. So, unless the funding source significantly changed, um, not too many changes happened along through the through the last 6 weeks of the school year. Again, uh, operational and maintenance, not a huge change there. Um, purchased and property services are down just a little bit. Part of that's just timing. Um, timing on some of the upgrades and things that the maintenance department is going to do are not going to happen until July, so they're not going to be they'll be expensed next year,

053not this year. Um, utilities were down [clears throat] just a little bit on the natural gas side, but uh, that's probably due to the mild winter more than anything. So, um, utility bills are up a lot this month, so we'll see how that plays out. Same, scroll down. No changes there under student transportation. Um, we had already budgeted fairly high on fuel costs just because they were high last year at this point in time. Kept them the same, so there's no big surprises there. Uh, you can cruise down to the next page. This is the community uh, this is the mentoring and beacon program. Um, had a couple of changes there. Mostly just in the employee benefits side. They had hired a couple of folks throughout the year that uh, took more benefits or had

054a higher medical maybe insurance premium than they had originally budgeted. So, no big changes there. So, overall looking at um, approximately ending the year with about $27.5 million in expenditures. Um, we'll go back to the summary sheet in a minute. Can I just cruise down to the next funds real quick? And you want to go back to the summary sheet. Nope. Okay, go on. So, cruising down to the next one, which is fund 121. This one I I took a pretty big in-depth look at it when I did the preliminary budget, so they're tracking with right where we were on mid-year, so there are no changes to the um this is the funds at the school. This is the individual school accounts. Um no big changes there. They were tracking pretty close to uh what

055we had estimated at mid-year. Um So, there are no changes in this fund if you want to cruise to the next one. The next one, this is the pass-through fund for the charter. You'll see um this one did change. This was a change on our final legislative um revisions. So, originally we were budgeted at 159. When they do all of their tax calculations and whatever the formula is, our our portion of that move for this fiscal year was 229,000. That's just passed through, so that budget reflection is um shown there. I don't have that secret formula, so um don't ask me how to figure it out. I don't know. I'm just given that. So, if you'll cruise down to the next section, this is the debt levy. Not any um significant The thing that you'll

056notice there again, just like in fund 10, is the redemptions were up. I did adjust the interest um on our investments down just a little bit. The last couple of months we're not earning uh quite as high as interest rate as we had the first part of the year. Uh the rates have fallen just a little bit, so I did adjust that down by $10,000 um just because of that's where they kind of been they've been tracking a little bit lower. Um again, you'll see that because of the redemptions we're not eating into the fund balance quite as much as we had anticipated mid-year, um but still this was on track with with the goal um having, you know, using up some of the debt fund balance about 5 to 600,000 as we move as

057this debt moves into sunsetting over the next couple of years, we need to spend down as much of that fund balance as we can. So, uh we'll be spending about 500,000 of it moving closing it out the year. Scroll down just a little bit. So, showing you that we'll have a fund balance approximately about 1.5 million in the debt moving into next year. Um there are 2 years left on this, so we'll be spending a little each of the next couple of years. So, cruising down to the next one is the capital fund. Um Again, we're looking at the blue columns at the moment. Uh capital again, like the others, redemptions were high, so uh revenues have increased a little over 100,000 from what we had anticipated. I did not reduce the earnings on investments

058in the capital fund. They have remained fairly flat the last couple of months because there's not a ton of money left in this fund balance. Um as we've paid for the track H&K remodels and all of those things with cash instead of seeking new debt. So, if you'll scroll down just a little bit, you'll notice um Purchase services is up just a little bit. These are some of the um and then the some of the remodeling going on at high school, the flooring, and um some of those are factored into that. Um all the pretty flat. So, if you cruise down just a little bit, you'll see that um Keep going. I mean, we're using up You'll see that the deficiency of of $3 million. That was planned expenditures with the HMK remodel, but I

059guess the the big thing that I want to point out because of the redemptions, refunding of the bond last November, we had anticipated having about $800,000 in the fund balance for capital at the end of this fiscal year. It's going to be closer to 1.5 million, which is amazing. It's double kind of what we were anticipating. Because of why? >> Did it go >> The big thing is the refunding and then the second was the collection of the redemptions. So, um between those two, um That's a >> That's a good jumpstart for >> Yeah, that's that's a good to like having an ongoing capital fund moving into the future. So, if then if you'll cruise down to the last page here. So, again, this is food services. I'm happy where this where where this is

060trending. So, not a lot of changes um in the revenues there. So, scroll down just a little bit. They're up slightly. Um But, if you look at if we'll look at expenditures, there's a couple of things there. A, salaries are down just a little bit. Part of that is we were just kind of short-staffed through the year. Moving into being fully staffed as we move into next year. We have one more position to hire and then all the kitchens will be uh considered fully staffed. Um Showing that we were anticipating transferring out about $600,000 from the general fund to cover the nutrition program. Uh at the way that this is currently trending about 475 to 500, I'm happy we'll probably be transferring less than 600,000 into the nutrition program, which is trending in the right

061direction. Um So, anyway, that's that's a positive on that line. So, we'll if goes all the way back up to the uh second page, the first page of the budget, it's kind of a summary. So, if you scroll up to the room >> Right there. >> So, scroll down just a little bit. So, you'll see that I I've left the 600,000 in there just I mean, I'm optimistic that it's going to be 500, but this is a budget and so um I need to make sure that we're covered and do it conservatively. But, you'll see that um 28. I'm going to just call it 0.6 for discussion purposes in revenues. Again, the biggest jump is from redemptions. Um 27.5 million in expenses. So, we're looking at an overall um increase in the fund balance of

062about 1.1 million. Transfer 600,000 of that out to the nutrition program. Anticipating still an overall fund balance increase of about $500,000 at the end of this fiscal year. Um >> When do you do that 600,000? Is it >> When it's in the next June 30th. I mean, it has to be by June 30th. You transfer whatever money needs to go into >> Well, probably do it in mid-July as I'm closing out the year end and making sure all the expenses are in and covered. Um but, yes, I've started that process. So, that is the final budget revision for fiscal year 2026. Questions, comments? Concerns? >> Is the 600,000 covering the like school lunch debt? Is most of >> Um some of the um some of the school lunch debt actually I I'm I mean it's

063not in the budget discussion but happy to know between Michelle's efforts and Sarah's efforts you collected quite a bit in June on outstanding uh debt. So the the soft campaign we did is working really well actually so happy to report on that. Um okay so no questions on from you guys on fiscal year 20 >> What is the >> That's what he what is the debt of how much do >> How many 45? >> That was the original I just need that. >> And anticipated at the end it's kind of that's where it's been trending this year. Um And that's a year. That's >> No that's collectively from like forever. >> I'd have to look at the >> As far back as lunch time it goes we have >> So but just to to well

064So it's never discussion of Um There will be some changes at the end of when I close out this fiscal year as we roll into the new lunch time module uh that will be writing off some of that bad debt some of the teachers and staff that are long gone. So um I'll be >> Teachers staff and kids >> Students >> Yeah students long gone yeah. Um graduated moved all of all of the above um >> David you're going to get a bill. >> It'll be just >> They owe me money. >> 16 It'll be about 16,000. So >> Someone write it down. >> Okay so then I'm going to shift gears you all have Any of you want one updated property impact statements I think. Um so we'll go into fiscal year 27 budget

065discussion now. So, this is as we move into fiscal year 27 and we go we discuss the preliminary budget. Um, that hasn't changed and I'll explain why in just a second. But, this is an updated property impact statement based off of the tax rates that I have gotten in the last week and a half. So, I just updated this um, for your general discussion. So, if you'll notice it says under current fiscal year, so this is to continue the capital campaign of increasing uh, proposing a tax increase in the capital levy. So, current fiscal year with what's on the certified tax rate website today from the Utah State Tax Commission, our capital levy was going to be .001312. Because we cannot count inflation. We count new growth, we cannot count inflation. So, I changed that

066number. We in the previous property impact statement, it was what our rate was this current year. I've changed it to what the Tax Commission said it would be next year if we choose not to pursue or you choose not to pursue truth truth in taxation. We If you do choose to pursue truth in taxation, uh, messing with the numbers a little bit, getting close to the 475 that was proposed. This is at 450. Um, the tax rate is a lot is is significantly less. Before it was going to be .001469, now it's .001425. Um, but still looking at an increased revenues in the capital fund of about $450,000. Um, the biggest reason for that is uh, we cannot recapture the inflation of the property taxes, but we can recapture new growth. Um, Grand County had

067a huge unanticipated new growth in their property taxes. Um, the highest new growth in 10 years. So, Chris Pat and I had estimated about 3 to 4%. Chris had estimated about 4%. Um, it came in much higher than that. Um, kind of took all of us by surprise of how high the new growth came in. So, that's a reflection of that. >> You guys understand >> new growth? >> Not that I was guessing in my head what it is, but >> So, >> On on property taxes, we cannot how the tax rates are set up is we cannot gain revenues from the inflationary factor. So, the state automatically reduces our tax rate like the 1. on that capital levy, instead of being the 2.001344 that it was this year, they have dropped it to the

0682.001314 because that is considered the inflationary factor. But, we can capture any new growth um, in the county, which could be >> New residences, new motels, >> 500 new apartments, >> new apartments, duplexes, >> remodels, >> any type of uh, building that >> Yes, a remodel? >> Yeah. Mhm. >> And so, you So, we're allowed to capture new growth, we're not allowed to capture the inflation. Um, >> And inflation is assessments. >> Right. >> When you're assessed by your valuation goes up. >> But, so anyway, unanticipated new growth >> Yeah. >> much higher than anybody had anticipated, which is um, >> But, they have to come online just to just to clarify during that year. >> Yes, just to kind of start Got it. >> Put it very simplistically, um, with property value is going

069to increase. The two factors making that increase are inflation of property value and then and then new actual value of property. So, we can't capture the inflation piece or that growth. We can only capture or that increase we can only capture the growth piece. So, we're trying to use some >> So, the Yeah, the inflation would be if your assessed valuation goes higher next year than it is this year, that's the inflation. >> we get affected by deflation? >> We don't. >> When is that a >> We don't want to be in that realm. >> I mean, I know, but you never know. >> And and I believe I believe but I don't is is January 1 and so when you see, you know, there's still stuff being built out there that might have come

070online February, that is not also in here. So, potentially the next year >> January 1 >> If it came online in January 2026 with treasurer, it looks at January 1st where where you're at here. >> If we bring a hotel on in 2026, but we can't capture the growth. If you bring it on in February, we don't get to capture the growth until a year from then. >> And so So, just in response to Dave's question while this is important to understand and and critical piece of our budget and forecasting, um some of that is um semantics [clears throat] with um that's what I would have done with our guarantee. >> But because of the state guarantee >> Because of the state guarantee because we're not generating more money, we have that state guarantee. So,

071it it just changes how much money we get from the state. >> And if we generate a lot of money, we don't get as much from the state. >> So, if we generate less money than the state will reimburse the difference. >> Yeah, that's what I thought. >> So, just kind of if you'll just cruise down through that a little bit for me on the property impact statement. So, what you'll notice is on the previous statement, um it was going to be the the increase for the capital levy was going to be about 31 $32 $31.96. Because of the unanticipated new growth, we're actually only looking at increasing the property taxes a total of $28.97 on a primary residence and then $160 versus $182 on the commercial. So, having unanticipated new growth is you know,

072a savings to the taxpayers. So, then if you cruise down to the second page, um the biggest thing to point out here is because of the unanticipated new growth, we're collecting less on the debt levy than we had proposed. The voted and board levies have gone down a little bit. That again is the inflationary factor, but overall on the property income impact statement, we we I've talked about it before. The taxpayer will actually see a tax decrease because of the reduction in the basic levy, the voted board, and debt levy. Those collectively The reductions in those collectively do not are more than what we're seeing what we're proposing the capital to be. So, like for instance, the overall savings to a primary residence on a on a taxable average value of $260,000 will be $26.09

073for a commercial business, you're looking at about $136 overall tax savings. So, Unless you're reassessed. >> No, that's on my end. >> All right. That's fine. Unless you're Unless you're Unless it's an inflationary factor for reassessment, that's not That's not my department, so. Um So, anyway, that So, you're over We're over We're looking overall at a tax savings moving into next year because of the anticipated growth. Even though we're proposing a capital levy increase, there's an overall tax savings. So, but with that being said, let's cruise into the budget discussion and I will um caveat this by saying the preliminary budget that was presented to you at the end of May has not changed from this um tentative budget for this evening. We're going to be looking at the far right column, the pink. The

074reason that it hasn't changed is because I now have the tax numbers, but the state, in order to meet all of the deadlines, this budget has to be posted 10 days prior to this meeting. I don't even get I didn't even get the tax rates until last Wednesday, and I didn't get the final state basic rate until Monday at 3:30. So, because I cannot meet the posting deadlines with um with those when they post those rates for me, this doesn't reflect that. Um I can tell you that um the local and state sources, I can't say for the federal, I did my own little tax summary for you just for way of comparison. We Up there, those are about um 26 million. I don't know. Boy, seven. 27. Well, you got to take off and

075the state is kind of So, let's just look at the local. So, that's showing um 16 million. We're going to be looking at about 22 million in increased revenue for the local sources. Um because the state sources are Huh? >> It's going to go from 16 to 22 approximately. It was the local sources. >> But part of that will include the state basic levy. So, it'll kind of even out, but that is it there will be an increase there. Um The single count ends us. So, anyway, there are not any >> That's not going because of the The state guarantee is not going to >> So, the state portion reduce what we are getting this year. >> And it's not a huge gain. >> Got it. Okay. >> The real life is these changes >>

076It just depends on changes where they're >> moving around. >> Right. We do we will realize some of them because of the growth. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, um So, there are So, there aren't any um changes to that budget as it was presented at the end of May just because when I get the tax rates and the posting deadlines that um I have to meet and I'm required to meet. So, um but I have since got those for some just some budgetary discussions. So, >> field cruise down. Um the other one that is going to change um go down to funds 26. And I know this cuz I just got this one last Friday. >> Which one is that? >> The charter. >> I don't know. >> The pass through. >> The The pass

077through, yes. Um This one is also going to change. I was on the phone with the USBE uh last Friday or Thursday, I guess. Friday was >> morning. >> Um This one right now is budgeted at 204. It's going to go up to 208. So, um That's in um Anyway, >> Are you going to have a fall opening for the budget or are you going to wait? Okay. >> We'll do one like the way March cuz I won't I'll get the mid-year that'll that'll be reflected on the mid-year update about get that mid-November. This is when I get the mid-year update. Um so that will be So if it'll be what we'll be operating on this budget till February, March. >> No. >> Oh. >> We're We will be If you choose to If you

078choose to or don't choose to do truth in taxation, um we will hold another hearing through the budget in August and it will show it will have the the [clears throat] changes. So this is tentative tonight, tentative so that we can operate beginning July 1st through the truth in taxation hearing and whether you approve that or don't approve that or choose to go through that or don't go through that, we still have to have another budget hearing in August to formally adopt this year's budget and then it will be original and not tentative. >> Just the way that it goes. >> So there are those. Now, tax rates, do you got any questions on that? I mean, I didn't change it because my numbers just came in too late. No other reason. Um I actually

079emailed the state USB guys to see if because their revenue numbers came in if I can change that and he says, "To meet your posting deadlines, I I would I would recommend them." So okay. So do you have the form the tax form that they're showing? So the other part of this is the tax forms. Um >> One for the new budget. >> Yeah, that's fine. >> This is to You want to make it big? Sure. >> So this is the Grand County. So you have the state basic levy in there. It came at 0.001351. Then first told us it was going to be 52, it's 51. Why? Um had anticipated so to be sufficient to cover our bond fund and use up some of our fund balance next year using a about $600,000 of

080the fund balance in the geo bond payments next year. We're looking at a rate of 0.000470. The state puts the maximum numbers allowed by law right there. It's sufficient to cover our debt payment. Capital levy, because of inflation, next year was slated to be the auditor's rate is 0.001314. If you choose to go through truth truth and taxation, that proposed rate right there is 0.0011425. The far right column shows the anticipated budget revenues from those sources. So, those are going to be the anticipated revenues. Again, the voted levy is uh None of the other levies were raised. So, it drops slightly from point the 86 Well, it was 882 this year. Next year, it's going to be 862. Again, it's all inflationary. And then uh The charter levy stays the same. And those are calculated

081by the state. So, what was our capital levy that actually went up this year? >> 0.0001344 >> 1344 >> So, that's So, that's Grand. The second page here um is I have to split them up between Grand and San Juan County. Sorry. So, that's the anticipated Grand County revenues. This is the anticipated San Juan County revenues. The rates still change. It's just the uh residents of San Juan County that attend Grand County School District. So, and the budget revenues are attached to those rates. They're exactly The rates are exactly the same in fact too. I apologize. >> Is it always the same or >> It's because it's the district rate. >> Okay, so um >> What? Yeah. >> Any more Any questions? >> Thank you again. >> All right. Are we going to open up

082any public comments out there? Questions? >> Okay, is there anyone online that would like to comment? >> Uh I don't see anybody. Is that just you? >> That's just us. >> Yeah, let's just recheck please and see if there's any comments. No comments. >> I'm just going to make sure for the record we provided an opportunity for people online to do that. >> Cool. >> [singing] >> No chats. >> Okay, thank you. >> Can you see if people are watching on this? >> One watching now. >> That's Holly. >> Oh. >> Yes. >> The young consultant. >> [laughter] >> Are we looking at the budget? >> Yes. >> Okay. Just I would just look at 95203 and 5310. I think the number is just in the wrong place. But I'm not sure. >> Are you

083on the budget or which one? >> I'm sorry. I'm on page I'm in the general fund revenues related to basic programs. I need to change 310. >> Page 53 >> 53 53 5203 and 5310. It just It just appears that possibly the 5203 60 600,000 600,000 >> No, because the teacher classroom salary support is now called That was the old flexible >> Oh, now it's called flexible allocation. Oh, it was called flexible allocation. So, they're just It's just a new line item. >> It's a new line item. >> Flexible Flexible allocation is gone away. >> It's gone to a new line item. That is >> That. >> Okay. >> But same thing. Same thing. >> It's new. Just a new name and a new number. >> Um And there were just some some things that

084stood out in in the general fund expenditures and total purchased services, I guess. >> I don't I don't know. I'll show you that. >> It's on page five. >> Which line item? >> Which line? >> So, the 600 supplies We're just highlighting it like um Why did it go from 655,000 to 426,000? Are we anticipating more supplies? Like, you know, a big chunk of that is the detail planning. We talked about that last time, but like a lot of new Chromebooks, a lot of new curriculum, a lot of new software programs were in that, but we code to supplies and that's gone. >> The detail. >> Yep. >> And so once the program program revenues go away, there are a number of bunch of program revenues graded into that program. And once that revenue goes

085away, the expenditures go away with it. >> So, the same thing with the 700 and the equipment went from 114 to 42. But it's kind of weird cuz in the years past it was like it was 3,800 and then it was probably breaking down then. So, that's what you mentioned about the computers and the other stuff. Okay. And then just under student services, health services personnel, are we anticipating an additional health service personnel person because it's now up to 138,000? >> No, that's just going to be with the cost of increase of um insurance. The >> Okay. >> estimated um cola. >> And then the the the the label is a little bit >> misleading. >> Not misleading. Um there are numerous employees who have a portion of that graded into their distribution. So, when

086we think health services, we think school nurse and that's it, right? But some of that funding is graded into multiple distributions of different employees in different roles. So, it's a little convoluted to judge. But yeah, that's why it appears a lot. >> Um and then I think the final question was in I heard you talk about the food service program, but I'm confused that it went from 600,000 to 750,000. Is that an increased cost and then >> I am that's what I estimated originally and I'm leaving it that right now until I see where the final cost for this year will land. That will change as we go into August and um it's not intended budget anymore. It will become the original budget. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Any other comments, questions? No. I am

087going to close the public hearing. I'm ready to get a vote to close the public hearing. No, okay. We'll close it at 6:00 p.m. All right, and then we'll go back into our regular agenda here. Okay. Uh next on the agenda is the consent agenda. We have minutes from June 10th. We have the May 27th minutes. I have personnel, so classified the classified and licenses changes.

It's a lot going on here, that is. >> [laughter] >> Got a couple more days till it's

088over, June, you know. >> Um all right. Any any clarifications on these, Matt? >> Uh the only thing I would point out is the uh out-of-state travel request, the the form itself only has one name written on it, but the people that were approved for travel there are Holly and Harris, Libby Bailey, Melissa Hedden, Cole Stock. Um and that's noted there in the meeting notes on that. >> Oh. In the top part, is that one? >> It's on the agenda, yeah, certainly. On the agenda? >> Oh, okay. Thank you.

Any discussion? All those in favor say I. >> I. >> That passes 5-0. >> [laughter] >> Uh next is approval of the proposed property tax rates. And this is the motion is listed there. Huh?

All right, approval of the tentative budget fiscal year 26-27. >> I move to approve the tentative year 2026-2027 district budget subject to the final approval of the tax rates during the truth and taxation hearing and the final approval of the tax rates. >> Is there a second? >> I'll second. >> Lorelei Green makes a motion, Jenna Wubbenhorst seconds to approve the tentative fiscal year 26-27 district budget subject

091to the final approval of the tax rates during the truth and taxation hearing and the final approval of the tax rates. Any discussion? All those in favor say I. >> I. >> That passes 5-0. All right, the next would be to proceed with truth in truth in taxation. And that's the motion. >> Yes, and to clarify, um we are approving to should you approve of the option to approve truth in taxation. But that is not the final decision until we go through that hearing. But the decision is over to the truth in taxation. That is our intent to look at going through right now. So I would move that we proceed with truth in taxation. So moved and seconded. >> I think you've agreed to this, don't you? It's a whole spiel. >> It's in

092>> It's a resolution. >> I think >> I I hereby resolve that the governing body of Grand County School District Board of Education tentatively approves the following property tax rates and revenues for the year 2026 subject to the truth in taxation hearing to be held August 19th at 6:00 p.m. at the Grand County School District office located at 264 South 400 East, Moab, Utah. >> I'll second that. >> All right.

That went smoothly. >> Yeah. Yes. Thank you. >> And you never know. Um all right. The next would be a motion to approve the Well, let's see here. Okay. Oh, there's two. Sorry. I I can't I can't read. Approval of the Grand County School District fee schedule for fiscal year or school year 2026-2027 and the addition of McKinney Vento Vento wording to policy F I. So, those aren't two different >> You mean >> Are those >> They're separate. >> two different motions? >> I I think they can be separate or combined. >> Okay. I'll make a motion to approve the Grand

Any discussion? All those in favor say I. >> I. That passes 5-0. Next is the approval of the negotiated agreement between GEA and Grand County School District. The board reviewed the agreement at the work session earlier this month and they may now choose to approve it. >> So, last last month it was a rough draft. It was really rough. I had some clarifying clarifying I've made those changes to that negotiated agreement that's there before

095you. Basically, just adding a little more information concerning uh insurance plans and how that cost sharing works. So, for eligible employees, the district will maintain the current insurance plans and cost sharing arrangements with the increase of 8% this year. Um and then again, uh just coming back to number four, which I I think is important. District will conduct a mid-year review to determine if funds are available for a one-time compensation payment for eligible employees. Um but nothing different than just a clarification on item number three from last last time and it's there for your approval. >> All right. Kathy Williams, something? >> I'll make a motion to approve the negotiated agreement with the district. >> Yeah. >> I will make a motion to approve I lost it there. I'll find it. The negotiated agreement um

096between GEA and GCSD. >> All right. Is there a second? >> I'll second it. >> Kathy Williams makes the motion, Dave Bearce seconds to approve the negotiated agreement between GEA and GCSD. Uh any discussion? >> I don't have any discussion, but I'd like to make a comment. Um this it's always difficult um with funding and revenue in public education and and you know, on the lean years and the good years, there still seems to be you quite frankly, we may not have gotten off on the the greatest foot this year in the in our negotiations, but ultimately, I do appreciate the different individual associations coming together and coming to the table with an understanding and been being able to work with the board, knowing that it is our intent to take care of our employees,

097our valuable valuable resource, and accepting that and really coming to the table and just the collaboration that we had I thought was really really good, especially considering our starting position. Just wanted Thank thank them. >> I also want I just want to say we one of the discussions we had is we are going to do Is it collective bargaining? Uh What is the bargaining tool we use and we're going to have training? >> We're we're looking at bringing in the association that should be bringing in some collective bargaining. >> Collective bargaining. >> So that Yeah. >> For the GEA? No, for for everybody. >> So the It's just just a refresher for those that have been doing it a long time and then the introduction to those that haven't. Um once again, I just think

098shows a great We have a great collaboration with with our associations and that's something that we should be proud of. >> So that'll be That's helpful. Yes. Right. Um all right. Uh so all those in favor of approving the negotiating agreement between GEA and GCSD, uh say I. >> I. >> That passes 5-0. All right. Next would be post policies on website for public comment. The board previously viewed policies uh ECCE, CECF, EDC, EEE, EEEB, EEEBB, EEF, EEFD, EEH, FEA, FEAB, FEAD, and FEAC. And we may now vote to post them on the district website for public comment. >> Okay. Look at that. Look at that. Motion. >> I move to post policies ECCE, CECF, EDC, EEE, EEEB, EEEBB, EEF, EEFD, EEH, FEA, F B A, F D A B, and F D A C

099A on the district website for public comment. >> Is there a second? >> I'll second. >> Jenna Woodberry makes a motion, Laura Lee Green seconds to approve uh or move to post follow us the policies listed um on the district website for public comment. Any discussion? All those in favor say aye. >> Aye. >> And that passes 5-0. Okay. Uh shine policy. >> So, the shine policy this is just our annual review. Um and we did not have any recommendation to change our current um I lost the word. What then it changes the current exhibit A, um which again just identifies the positions that the board has identified as um eligible for our shot, which is highlighted in this creation. It's the same thing that we did last year. It's just up for annual review

100or an approval. >> Is there a motion? >> I'll move to approve policy D F E P uh for the year 2026-2027. >> I'll second. >> Cathy Williams makes a motion, David Ruffalo seconds to approve policy D F E P uh for the year 2026-2027. Um any discussion? So, it does not change the position, but simply updates the year in policy. All right. All those in favor say I. >> I. I. That passes 5-0. Reindications. Okay. >> No other words. I don't have anything to say other than >> He raised his hand. >> No, I didn't. >> [laughter] >> Gabby. >> Bridget. >> Um I you know, Jenna and I went to the JLC meeting. >> I didn't see your you weren't pictured in the picture. >> Was there a picture? >> Mhm. >> On

101the on the Facebook page. >> I don't I don't remember anything. >> We were there. We were there. >> They had steak? >> They had No. >> Didn't they have steak? >> No, they had chicken last year. >> It was chicken. I got the chicken, but they didn't have steak too. >> I don't know. >> I'm sorry. I just wondered if I missed it. >> I don't know. But so the the night the the evening um presentation the um representatives that were there um was representative Wilson, who is from Payson, and he is a teacher in Payson, and um representative Ariel De Faye, who is from Davis. And then also Senator Hinkins was there. And um just, you know, they were all very nice. I took a I took a bunch of notes that really

102I don't I don't remember um >> [clears throat] >> all the things that they they said. Um the but the next anyway, they were all, you know, very friendly and and very um uh big supporters of public education. Um the next day we did the um the JLC we went through the JLC priorities, which are actually pretty pretty limited. Um and we wordsmithed them to death, and I think we ended up kind of where we started. I don't think anything really changed significantly, which is usually how it goes. Um and this I just have the original one, but basically they want to increase basic funding framework for special education students. So that is still a huge issue is funding of special education. Um Uh, another is to Oh, and there's you know, they've got this

103maybe there's a potential bill that they're running for dyslexia. Um, apparently it's a two-part bill. 1.5 million dollars is to go to the University of Utah to develop a screener for dyslexia to be used. So it's a three-year pilot program to maybe I think train literally literary literacy specialists to identify um, students with dyslexia. And LEAs can participate somehow with this first part of the bill. And then the second part of the bill was then they would take these interventions and into the into the different districts. >> Are they supporting that? >> That's one of their priorities. >> So that's part of this special education priority. They want and it says in recognition of increasing enrollment for students with disabilities especially because of anticipated qualification due to the screening. So if we're going to be

104screening all these kids for dyslexia, we're going to have an increase in our special education student body and so we need to make sure that we fund this. >> So this is a new type of screening cuz I mean I know that we cuz we we already know >> dyslexia screening here. We don't do the screening. We if we It's right. It's a psychologist that does a diagnosis. Right. So because of this big I think push with reading, right? That the the state is really pushing early literacy and reading. I think maybe this is part of it is that we're going to be identifying students with dyslexia. So, anyway, so we're anticipating there's going to be an increase in the number of students with dyslexia. So, there's going to need to be funding associated with

105that. Um The other thing the other priority would be continue to fulfill prior commitment to increase funding for at-risk students. Um which would be students who score below proficient on one of the approved assessments. Um or limited English proficiency students who receive a score of 1 to 4 on the English language. Um So, that's another commitment or another Yeah, another priority. Um Another priority provide ongoing funding to support early literacy. And lastly, continue collaboration on public education funding mechanisms, which is very vague. So, um Yeah, so there was a lot of talk about reading and literacy and special education. So, that's still where I think that USBE is really wanting to make sure that there's adequate funding in the next with the next legislative session. So, that was it. Do you have any anything else

106that >> I mean, I would disagree that the word spinning I couldn't agree with you more on this. Um did we have >> All our changes The changes that we wanted didn't get submitted. But some some did, I think. A little better. Yeah. It's um >> Oh, I'm You're next. >> Yeah. >> Oh, right. Okay. Um I also checked out the um I was just curious about the grants to give people weekly lunches um at the charter school. >> Oh, yeah. >> Um so, I went and with my son and got a box and it was huge. There was fresh produce and I don't know if like does the school district relieved to not be doing it every day or I don't know. Do we have any say in it? >> I don't know. We

107didn't have say anything if we got it or not. I would have not been able to speak on behalf of Sarah, but I would say with all of the changes that we have had to make and need to make throughout the summer just because of the administrative review. Um, it's a nice reprieve not to be worrying about preparing for elections at the same time as we're trying to get at least a bunch of these. >> She's my own. I think they're using it to try out their a different delivery model. >> Yeah. >> Then what has been standard over the years. >> Yeah. >> Whatever reason they felt like that would be a good place to pilot that to see if it works out. Curious to see myself what the results are. >> Yeah. And

108is that I mean well, we potentially get it back or wind up you know, we'll see. >> How was it the response to the state? >> There were I mean it was a little bit annoying because you had to first scan the QR code. >> Before you even left? Did you say >> Like when you were there and I just told my son to get on his phone and then I don't know if he was supposed I don't know. I'd try that. >> You need a smartphone to >> But I mean yeah. Maybe there must be some paper. >> My question was what am I going to do with all the shelf stable milk that they >> Yeah. >> My children will not I mean oh yeah, yeah. I went. I went cuz I wanted

109to see what >> Yeah. But they did have some produce and >> Yeah, there was some produce and some >> Yeah, but there was some weird stuff too. >> It kind of felt like you guys probably but it kind of felt like the stuff that they give at the library. If you ever if you have kids, yeah. It's it's the strange. It's like they've gotten bulk interesting things. Like you wouldn't >> It's not the first I don't know the first maybe. >> But at least they had like hummus and and wraps and things. >> Yeah, it's more than that. Yeah. So I'm hoping to donate that shelf-stable milk. >> I Like it like my kids like Yeah. >> I think they think as well. I I think they would have stuff left over. Are they

110donating it? Yeah. Nobody knows anything. Okay. >> Is it like shelf >> What kind of milk is it? >> and stuff like that. >> Is it like regular milk for kids like the little baby milk? Yeah, strawberry milk. >> cartons of milk that you could that you don't have to refrigerate. >> Right. >> I'm just wondering why why you don't have to refrigerate stuff like that. >> I'll send it back. >> Um >> It's scary. Anyway. >> Yeah. >> But it was a lot. It was a pretty good sized box. >> big box. >> That's a week's worth of food. >> Yeah. >> It's five days >> Oh, five days. >> for nine and you know, so they >> I think they brought it >> I got >> two kids >> Do you get yeah.

111>> three kids >> I think they got three boxes. >> Well, they merged. They had boxes of two for two. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> And it's and it's lunch and a snack. When we eat it when we were doing it last year, right? We did breakfast, this, we sent home breakfast the next morning. And we provided a lunch. >> And we did that every day. And on Fridays we sent it home for the weekend. >> Oh. >> And every day it was different. >> So now it's just all in a big >> And now it's a big box. And also like I bought one the first week. And like your grain was a bagel and they gave you like a recipe card and like five different meals to make. The bagel was your base.

112And this last week um it was >> flatbread >> and five different to me in the flatbread. So, my kids are not interested. They're like, "There's no way I'm >> I got to receive them. >> There's three of them. Not big. >> I know. >> I got to bring those. >> What you doing? >> What is the um funding? Is that So, has it even when we were doing it before, is there a special summer food fund from the state? >> Yes. >> Okay. And next, we really haven't met. >> I was going to say I was going to say welcome. >> We just got here. >> That's all right. >> I was just I don't remember saying I I believe which remind me that uh Stuart Adams lost his primary. >> Yes. Yes, I

113just heard that. >> So, I'm going to make that note. >> He's like, "Yeah, he's the president of the Senate." >> He was, yeah. He won't be >> Yeah, so that's a big deal. >> Yeah. >> Anyway, I don't know. Can you keep that? >> I'll phone you. >> Yeah. >> So, just a couple of quick things. One, um reminder. We talked about it a little bit, but board retreat Wednesday. >> 7:30. >> Tuesday. Why do you keep saying Wednesday? >> It's the 30th. It's Tuesday. >> All right, it's the 30th. It's It's It's the 30th. It's Tuesday, 7:30. Sorry. >> Don't you >> Right? It's a It's a It's a you issue. Still in June. We may or may not have a breakfast for you. >> But I need to know that ahead. Yeah.

114Do we need to bring coffee? >> And then second, um some one of the one of the things that came out of uh the meetings that I attended last week concerning the big push for early literacy is the way that bill was was crafted, um it was written with the superintendent association being very involved, but it was it was done very quickly. And also, the sponsor of the bill is no longer running for office, so there's no one to really necessarily carry the bill. >> Who was that? >> Karen Peterson. >> Okay. >> Um So, in that the way the way it worked out with the the fiscal note that was attached to it one I think it clearly won them enough and two there is a little um there are some districts that are

115disgruntled on how how that played out. Some districts were bigger winners than others. Um I don't think we had any winners in our cuz it goes through the SCSC um >> Oh. >> So I wouldn't say that we had winners or or losers but it's definitely a hot topic and I think you'll see that continue that big literacy push in the second phase of that will be funding. Um so just keep an eye keep an eye on that um because we didn't get for what the bill was intended to accomplish we didn't get the funding they even come close to um to meeting what it was expected to accomplish so >> Like we didn't as our >> As in a district we did not. >> As a district? >> Yeah, we did not. Um we

116got about enough money to pay for three quarters of a maybe not even a third. >> Oh, wow. >> Two thirds. Two thirds of a third. Um so that's where we're at um so that's just not a topic to to kind of follow and I'm sure you'll see some press about it but that's all I got. >> I have a question for you Matt. Um I was looking over um the work session minutes last So when you brought this up this little Did you guys discuss this or this is what will be discussed? >> No discussion that's just we didn't have any discussion just a really um entertaining slideshow that I put together for you guys. >> So this is the purpose >> to just kind of get the thought process going. So that you

117come prepared because when you will be our training will be um heavily discussion based with with us as a group. So I'm going to start talking. >> No me. >> I think we're not >> advanced planning >> [laughter] >> Um all right. So we have the retreat that is Tuesday 7:30 that is at USU. Agenda planning.

Like you do the changes. >> Yeah. We'll look at it when we are all done with the meeting. >> Okay. I don't own it. >> I don't own it. >> That's why you do the edits. >> I can't own something I don't >> You update it, but I own it. >> Yeah, that's brown. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Teacher

128prep day is the 17th. Then we're going to have a a breakfast on the 18th at the middle school. >> school. It's an hour long. It's like an all staff thing. All staff hour long, no business. There's just going to be >> like opening institute? >> This is a breakfast social >> Okay. >> with no business and uh other than introduction of new staff. And if I get a microphone, I'll probably lose control and talk a little bit, but >> Aha. So we're getting you a mic. >> But it's going to be short and sweet. We're really honoring the request of the teacher, faculty, and staff to be to have more time in their classroom. >> The new teacher orientation, which one is it that we go to? The 13th. >> The 13th. >> Um

129the district office one. Um all right. First day of school. Yes. >> Which one is it? >> That's first day of school. >> First day of school. >> First day of >> Only half day. Great. >> Half day looks >> That's going to be a holiday for That's only me. >> All right. I'm already ready. >> Me. >> Nope. >> I'm going to put that family your year. >> Primary over. >> Clap ins, there might be clap ins. I don't know. Jeremy is to plan those and Jeremy is gone. >> I think we can still coordinate clap ins. >> Okay. So, and then kindergarten days are separated and all kinder. So, any other things anybody It's because school starts you just go welcome and they get it. Um >> I know the day preschool starts

130and I forgot. So, I would put that on the one day. >> And then uh the tax truth and taxation is what day? >> It's 19th and 16th. >> Okay, that's an important one. You know, 6:00. >> T >> And we're all So, the recommendation with the changes is I know in the past we've done TNT and then we've moved into the budget hearing and approved the budget. The recommendation is just to do the truth and taxation hearing that night and at their next board meeting have um >> Great idea. I love it. So, is there >> Thank you. So, there's no Is there a board meeting that night? >> Yeah, there is also. Yeah. >> Okay. >> But I love that. >> What did you say? So, it's going to be just the truth

131and taxation hearing on the 19th? Okay. >> And then the public isn't invited. I mean, the public >> But not approval of the >> On the same night. >> Doing it at the following board meeting. >> Excellent. Yes. >> That's what I mean. >> You have a regular board meeting. >> Excuse me. >> You will have to have a regular board meeting. >> So, that's >> Like a week later? >> yeah. So, I I will double check, but I can do the truth and taxation hearing and if you'd like at the same time I can do the public hearing for the budget but I but you don't have to approve it but you don't vote on it or I can or I can just do the truth and taxation and then the board meeting you

132can do a public hearing for the budget and then vote on it that night but I mean they both can be done on the truth and taxation night but it is just recommended that you vote on it a week later so that you all can think about it and take their input and whatever it may be. >> Yes, I mean I mean this is just I it's such a treacherous process that it's been pretty fun of us to and and it's really it's the externalities are amazing to me. We're actually doing the tax savings and having to jump through numerous hurdles to do so. But and and airing on the side of caution I think your truth and taxation hearing is your truth and taxation hearing and it's the only meeting you do that with.

133It's just truth and taxation. >> Well, do you recommend then discussing the budget on that same day? >> Nope. >> No, just >> the budget >> So, be like 15 minutes. >> Well, I mean depending on the >> Unless you have a right >> depending on public comment but I mean do you disagree with that on the on the side of caution? >> I think that makes >> Well yes and no. I think you need to have the budget discussion there so you can see why you're proposing the truth and taxation and where it falls into that but it could just be the capital. >> Well, what I like about that though Matt I'm going to disagree because I feel I feel like if people are coming out they would want to hear it all

134of it they're going to do a public comment section that they would rather do it one night than than come to. >> I think that's fine. We'll just do everything in our power to make sure that we're not getting caught up in the >> Can we separate it? >> any minor technicality because that originally that was the first recommendation is hey, just do that That's the only business. And then it was well, you can do this. >> I'll double check with the state tax commission. Um Matthew's not what he used to be. He used to be giving me more information than he does now, but I think they're also in pretty new waters. But I will check with them and then with the county. Um both counties to see if that's okay. Because I like

135it, too. Because I think when you do truth in taxation it flows naturally into the budget. >> Like what is this going for? >> It would kind of just be >> Especially if there are questions or like if there's questions like what is that? What are you doing with that? And then you say, well, you can refer to this budget. This is what we're doing. >> Are you saying truth in or and? >> Truth in. >> Okay. >> I don't know. It's in. >> I thought it was and. [clears throat] >> It's here. Makes me >> Oh, yeah. >> Truth and Truth in. >> I don't know. I don't know what. I do it both ways. >> Half the time I do it one way. >> I don't know. It's similar. >> [laughter] >> Never

136even thought about it. Truth and in taxation. Learn something new. Okay. Any other things? >> So we would have done that the next one 26. >> Would be the board meeting, right? >> Just has to be before August 31st. >> To approve the budget. >> Whether you approve it the two things. >> Whether you approve >> Whether you do the proposed new rate or you keep it as the state auditor had suggested, but I have to have it turned into the state auditor by the 20th of August. >> All right. >> So you just said it was in. >> And. >> It's straight. a it is. I think is specifically as in in the TNT tooth then. >> Yeah. Yeah. Are we planning on working anything out in August or not? Um do we need

137that work session then on the 12th? >> Sorry. >> Do we need a 12th then? Should we if we're having two, do we need a work session? We can discuss that in July. Let's discuss that on the 29th. Okay. Auditors are coming on the 24th and the 25th. Of 24th, 25th, okay. And that's you, too. And they'll be here all day. So you'll be here for three or four days. Okay, 24th, 25th.
