001Hey everybody, it's Jen. >> Hi Jen. We're here and uh me our camera. There we go. Okay, >> yeah, I was having some weird hip pain, so I decided not to um drive over there today. So, >> it is that was looking forward to seeing everybody. >> Hello. >> Well, we have new flooring and some nice new carpet and look, the campus looks great. >> Heck yeah. Amazing. >> So, we are at 5:30 if you'd like to start us out. Yeah. Let's go ahead and get this meeting started. Um, and can we start with the pledge of allegiance? >> Absolutely. >> Okay. All right. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

002Okay. All right. So, um, does anybody have any, uh, additions, deletions, or change of agenda items? >> I have not, uh, received any additions or deletions, and have not had any change of agenda items brought to me. >> Okay. >> All right. And do we have any public comment? >> We have nobody in the audience and nobody other than you online. >> Okay. All righty. Sorry, Zoom is messaging me something here. Um, okay. Cool. That's helping my uh navigating a little bit. So, thank you. All right. So we can uh uh jump to the consent agenda um for the uh board minutes at L. Uh did anybody have any comments on any of those or anything we wanted to talk about first? >> They look good to me. I'll make a motion to approve the

003agenda. Second. >> Okay. All right. All in favor? >> I >> Thank you everybody. >> Um I haven't seen Nicole um log in yet. So, I don't know if she's >> get get >> has gotten a >> um I I do know Well, I'll get to that during my report, but uh it looks like we are tracking as we should be. >> I didn't see anything that worried mess. >> Okay. Oh, Nicole is just joining us. Let's see. Nicole, can you hear us? >> Hey, Nicole. >> I think she's in the process of logging in. Okay. >> Cash balance. Oh, there's Nicole. >> Sorry, I had overlapping board meetings and I was time it looks like. >> No, no worries. We have we have uh four of our board members here. >> Obviously, Jenna's online

004and uh Jeff won't be joining us, so I think we're gonna have a pretty short board meeting. >> Okay, perfect. So, this is our cash graph. These reports are as of July, um showing that our cash is $1,112,000. last month's board meeting, you did pass a resolution to transfer some money to transportation vehicle funds so we can support our current bus payment and um work on purchasing a a new one. Um you'll see that transfer in your August board reports. >> This is our GLTB. Everything on here um reconciles as it should. Matches with the county treasures. So this is more of just an FYI for you. This is our county treasurer statement. Um, this comes from the county treasurer. This I use to reconcile with the last report you just looked at. And everything

005ties and reconciles and um we don't have any discrepancies. >> No news is good news. >> Yes. And this is our um July budget status report showing that we are 92% of the way through the year. Um and our ending fund balance there at 29% um which will you'll see next month will decrease with that transfer for um the transportation vehicle fund. >> Nice. >> And there is a page there for every fund if you'd like. Capital projects fund an income balance of $555,000 ASB. Um we were out of reconciliation there, but I've been working with the um the fiscal team at the Easts and we're getting it a little bit closer back on track. So that's good. And then our transportation vehicle fund has a ending fund balance of $9,000 and um working on

006getting that built up with that transfer we passed at our last board meeting. >> Nice. >> So next meeting we'll have 109 in in TVF. Okay. Yes. Yep. And then um in August we'll get depreciation money for our from our current um bus that we have on the depreciation schedule. So it'll be a little more than that. >> Okay. >> Any questions? We like it when it's no questions. Perfect. >> Especially when it's our finances. You're going to talk about the um the audit. >> Yeah, I have a little bit of update for for the audit. Actually, why don't why don't we jump to to that? It's in my superintendent report. I met with uh the auditor this afternoon at one and I think Nicole, you probably met with him probably right before I did.

007>> Yes. >> And um >> I did. He he used the words clean audit which we like to hear. >> Yes. So there were just a couple of uh I don't want to say non non-important items because they're all important but some procedural things that we can work on. I think >> they called um exit items which means they won't be listed in our report that gets filed with the state auditor's office. So, they're just little things that um we've done and it may be missed here and there, but um nothing that's going to be filed in in writing against us. >> Yeah. >> Oh, nice. Okay. Learning curve. >> One of the items that he mentioned is that I think during one of our exec sessions, we went over time >> and forgot to

008say something. So, that was one of the issues. So, I that's kind of the the range of things. Uh nowhere near where we were in our last audit. Um, so yeah, just some some procedural things and I think there was something about uh electronic transfer uh uh procedures we needed developed. >> He said we passed one in our meeting but there was something more that needed to go along with it. The procedure was there but not the policy or vice versa. I >> I think it's probably vice versa. We passed the policy. Um but then we just need to add the procedure and I I can take care of that. So >> Okay. Nice. Okay. >> Very good exit conference. Thank you to Nicole. Thank you to Katherine >> for uh >> everybody >> doing

009>> yeah all of you >> his emails and requests and especially over the when it was during the summer. So thank you. Thank you. >> Yeah. Um so tomorrow is there still a meeting tomorrow at 11 and should I go to that because they did seem like they wanted board interest. I just didn't know if anybody else was going. >> He did ask me today and I said I hadn't had any requests because he asked if there were going to be any board members in attendance and he goes either way it's it's totally up to them. It doesn't matter. We don't have anything that's pressing. So, it's He said it was totally up to the board member. >> I just because he called it a Teams meeting. I don't have Teams. So, I wouldn't I

010don't know if I can join that way or not remotely or if I would just have to come in in person. >> Um Teams is a lot like Zoom. So, I think you just click on the link. I don't know if you have to have like a application to run it. >> Yeah, you do. And that's what I ran into today. I tried to get on Oh, you do? Okay. Same meeting with Nicole and the auditor and I couldn't get in through Teams. I tried on my phone and >> um I don't know, maybe I just I don't know. >> He he did say that tomorrow will be nothing different than what he went over with Aaron and I today. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Okay. >> So, I mean, so if Aaron thinks that >>

011if there's anything if he thinks you should go, then I'm sure we can figure out a way to get it to where we can all come. If but if not, it sounded like it didn't really matter. Okay, >> I'll leave it up to you, Jen. Whatever you'd like to do, just let me know. >> All right. Thanks. I'll Yeah. Um but there's no So, it's not an in-person option, right? >> No. >> Yeah, it's it's going to be virtual. >> Okay. Yeah. Then, um I mean, I definitely trust you all to be, you know, letting us know. Obviously, you're letting us know what kind of things we need to work on and what the, you know, importance level is of that and and all the stuff that we're keeping tabs on. So, I just if

012there was anything that seems like I should be there to get more upfront and personal, then I can join the Zoom. But if you think it's covered, then I'm okay with you guys. >> I will share out the the written report with everybody that has the the the two or three things that we need to address. And >> Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Cool. in the scope of what we've been through, this was uh nothing. So >> yeah, he said our internal controls are are really good. He didn't see anything wrong with them. So that was that I mean that's where it was huge before. So it was nice to say that hear him say that that that's good. >> Yeah, that's really great you guys. Amazing. Thank you. >> Good news. >> Yep. Well, I will

013then I guess jump back into to to my report and uh like to start off by doing a public uh thank you to the the summit at Snow Call me or for their awesome donation to uh to Eastern School. $17,000 which is amazing. So, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I know Mr. Penoyer has been uh busy looking at uh upgrading our cross country skis and boots and ski poles and bindings for the kids. So I think I'm guessing there'll be an order for that relatively soon. But uh thank you very much to the summit for for helping us out. >> Yeah, thank you so much Summit at Snowqual. >> Absolutely. uh very much a surprise when I got the email, but very much appreciated and with the state cutting the funding couldn't come at

014a better time. >> Uh you did you did well. You did well. >> Y >> I had no >> chair chair too just keeps on giving, you know. No idea. And speaking of of the summit, I know today Jeff was working on getting our ski lift chair hung up out there since, you know, we have the new flooring out there. So, probably within the next week or so, we'll have that up and up and running. Um, high school sports, volleyball started yesterday. Uh, football started last Wednesday. We have about 20 20 or so kids out between the the two uh programs. Uh kids are in high spirits. Saw the boys out there and running around. Uh they got the pads on. So that's always a a good sign. Um inside the gym, girls were got

015good numbers for volleyball. We might actually be able to do both a JV and a varsity uh for volleyball. Uh with the JV girls playing, you know, directly in front of the the varsity girls. So fingers crossed for that. But I guess the big news and what you approved in the consent agenda is uh the kids heading down to Oregon uh this weekend uh to play in Jamberee for both football and for volleyball and then going to the University of Oregon football game versus I think it's um University of Montana or Montana State. Not sure which which team, but it's one of the Montana schools. But um I've been to Auton Stadium. It's really cool. uh kids will be able to get really up close and personal and see what a big-time college football game

016is. Uh so I'm I'm very envious, but uh well hopefully the kids will enjoy it. But uh >> they they seem pretty stoked. >> It's going to be kind of one of those trips that they they won't forget. So heading down Friday morning, Friday night in the gym or classrooms at the school and then Saturday 1:00 for the game and then heading back Saturday evening. So, it's going to be a bit of a whirlwind, but uh it'll be a great time for the kids. >> Yeah. Um Kyle has really done some some leg work to make sure that's going to happen for the kids. And now with our two vans, we don't have to worry about a bus. So, >> on behalf of the uh the seniors, too, they wanted to thank you for sending

017them out on an amazing senior trip out to Port Angeles. Yeah, >> our senior class just recently came back from the their senior trip and it's nice having it kind of before the senior year starts because once the the school year starts, it gets so busy for the kids. So, I've heard nothing but uh good feedback. They stayed in Airbnb with uh Miss Lewis and Miss Lloyd and just had a good time on on the coast. So, good things. Speaking of another good thing, our presentation at WADA got approved. So, Jen, Jen and I will be heading over and hopefully dropping some knowledge on some people. If anybody would like to attend with us, please uh the dates are November 20 uh 21 and 22. So, I think it's a Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. >>

018Yeah. Week before Thanksgiving. So, if there's I've I've already um signed Jen and I up, but if anybody else any other board members like to go, um you know, I'll do the kind of leg work on the presentation or whatnot. Uh um >> if um if we can get our student board members there, too. I'm not sure if they're right there right now, but um >> no, they uh I think with practice they are conserving that way. >> It's very hot. Yeah, too, right? >> Yeah. I will ask both Aaron and Angela if they'd like to attend. Yeah. Because it would be be nice to have them give some representation, talk to other folks there. But you know, you know, when you you look at this little blurb on paper, we have done a >>

019a lot >> a whole heck of a lot as as a board. So, I'm I'm proud to share with what what we've done. And now that we have kids passing AP classes, earning college credit, that's awesome. >> Yeah. I included just the uh agendas that we had for today and we'll have for tomorrow just for the board's uh interest. Tomorrow we have uh an instructional coach from the ESD coming to talk about block schedule and it's really fine-tuning our math instruction because we know how important math is and we have some ground to to make up uh with our math. So excited to have that person join us for tomorrow. Um on a maybe a downer, um we've lost some kids over the summer. We've lost anywhere between probably 10 to 14 kids. >> Oh,

020whoa. >> Ouch. Ouch is right. Um, none of it really related to the school, but uh, divorce, um, new boyfriends or new significant others, lack of housing. >> That's a big one. >> Um, you know, three of the families in particular I can think of that uh, you know, were had unstable housing last year, finally found more stable housing in other school districts, Kittitas, Ellensburg, and Clem. So, um, you know, I wish them well, but it does hurt our bottom line significantly. But, yeah, the lack of housing and, you know, rentals is a is a big issue. Um, >> no. I mean, there's I know there's some rentals up at the pass, but, you know, a lot of families can't afford that. >> They're expensive. >> Absolutely. Um, so >> we talked about it last

021summer. >> Yeah. Yeah. And we we've explored that and you know that's something that sometimes the how should I phrase this parents will make the request to to go to Clem and then they kind of get absorbed by Cleelum with the state uh system. So, trying to be delicate with my words here. Um, we'll have an off Yeah, we'll have a conversation off off public. How's that? >> Yeah. Deal. >> Um, federal funding uh thankfully has been restored. That was going to be a loss of 12 grand to us for this year, but it's coming back with the uh change of at the federal level, but we still don't know for next year, and that's potentially 36 grand uh that we could uh we could lose accountability audit. Nicole and I talked about that. Um

022but we're done. So, thank goodness. And again, thank you for all the hard work. and the classified union and the district. We still have just a couple l since uh we our last meeting we just haven't met uh to kind of hammer out the the final things but basically everything is in place and done. And again I just wanted to include the levying bond because we'll be looking to possibly run another uh levy here uh in in February. So just to keep that on the board's the board's front burner. >> Nice. Yep. That concludes my report. So, I'm gonna jump into Mr. Brennan's report and see if the board had any questions there. But, as you can see, the the building is kind of back together. Um, they were finishing up actually today doing some

023cleaning and replacing ceiling tiles, but looks very nice what we have. On Thursday and Friday of this week, they're going to be putting on the protective coating in the hallways. So basically the elementary wing and the main office is going to be closed because they want 48 hours for the whatever chemical it is to do do it yeah do its job. So um that's a little bit of a wrench not having the elementary teachers get in their classrooms but they can get in there on Saturday and and Sunday and Monday and Tuesday if they'd like. So there's plenty of time. >> Um I know Jeff has talked about the uh drinking water. So, we're getting retested on Thursday of this week, and hopefully, I'm sure with the work he's done with filters and replacing some

024of the uh the lines with copper that we won't have any problems with that. He's we are still looking at targeting next summer to have a new gym floor. Um, so Jeff has been doing the the prep work and looking at the asbestous abatement and getting quotes um about what we need to do. Um, a lot of this we're hoping to pay for out of the healthy kids healthy schools grant. That's not out yet, but we will be applying for that and that's 200,000. Um, so between the new flooring and the removal of the asbestous, we might uh I might come back to the board and ask if we can dip into capital projects a little bit to uh get get the new new flooring installed. Um, we have two sheds. Actually, we got word

025that they will be delivered tomorrow. Um, so can't remember what colors we ordered, but they will end up purple and gold by the time we're done with them. So, um, again, we're going to have one for outdoor ed and one for athletics. One we're thinking of putting kind of right where we have the trailer now. Um, easy access for outdoor ed to put in the bikes and whatnot. The other we're thinking of putting out by the sports court and by the climbing wall, the wood climbing wall, just so PE has access to it and uh, athletics and we have our volleyball nets and pickle ball nets out there. So, those will be delivered tomorrow. And like I said, that's where Jeff was picking up cinder blocks and had car problems, so that's why he's not

026here today. >> Oh, no. Sorry, Jeff. >> Uh, we're also opening up a some room in the wait room. You know, we have kind of we had the small weight room. The other side, in my estimation, was kind of junk. And we cleaned up the junk, got rid of a lot of stuff that was no longer used and hadn't been used in years. So now we have two spaces for the weight room, but it's a little bit of a supervision issue because we have the >> the wall there. So he's taken down parts of that so we can just have better supervision with the with Kyle and and Nate in there supervising the kids and kids have more room, better air flow. So um the only thing that really we have to deal with is

027there is a fire strobe on the one of the walls. So he's he's working on that. the drain field and the septic tank issues continue and uh I haven't got an update on this recently, but we may be able to host a home football game in November. Um you know, if if we can get, you know, some seed down and or sod um you know, do a little top soil. So, we're still hopeful we can at least get one one or two games maybe here uh on campus. We've moved around some of the the previous playgrounds pearavevel to kind of repurpose it so we don't have to buy more over by the uh the new playground. >> Cuts down on mowing time, weeding time, just make it a little bit cleaner out there. Um >>

028had some issues with bus one. That's of course is our brand new bus. So um ever work has been done. It's under warranty and looks like we're going to get some new tires on the oldest Transit van. >> Nice. >> Uh we have two more subd drivers that are coming on board. Um Andy Stout and Carrie Carter. Both are are also parents. Uh Andy does some coaching here as well. So I know they have done all the sets. >> I think they just needed to do their driving portion if I remember. and Jeff was hopeful that we could get both of them uh CDL certified hopefully by the end of October. So, good news, more flexibility for us. And lastly, we're going to put in some radios. Um I don't want to say, you know,

029they're not the old kind of intercom radios. Somehow it's more kind of >> cell service. Thank you. because we don't want the driver picking up their personal cell phones when they're trying to drive this as a from what I understand full screen and actually in the the handheld radio part. So Jeff did some research on this and price was uh was very reasonable and um so put those on several of our buses. So Phil, have you ever heard of those this Okay. So I know Jeff Jeff met with >> Okay. So, we'll take care of that and provide a little bit more safety. And I do believe that it also has GPS features so we can turn an an app over to parents so they can see exactly where the bus is on the routes

030and stuff like that. So, I don't want to roll that out until we kind of get things finalized, but uh just thank you to Jeff for all he's doing for for the school. We're like I said, making good progress. >> Nice. Um, so for the showing the bus where it is, um, that's just something that the parents of the kids would be able to see. >> Yeah. From what I understand it, you know, has that GPS feature. They would download an app on their phone and Okay. >> Not just random people can >> No, no, no. Okay. >> Again, I until I know more about it, we're not going to roll it out to to our parents. >> So, with that, that includes concludes my report as well as Mr. Ren's uh operational report. >>

031Very nice. Very nice. All right. So, moving into um board business. Um we have 8.1 resolution number four uh 2025.26 the ADA grant support. >> Thank you very much. So, um, as we are trying to get funding for our new, um, gym floor there, the ADA grant has been released. So, I'd just like the board's, uh, support in applying for that, and this would, uh, give us funding for new bleachers. >> Yeah, absolutely. Good idea. >> I would think that hopefully we present a good case since our bleachers are 1960s era. Uh and and um I have gotten quotes back looks like for you know we seat about 300 uh these are you know motorized bleachers kind of same size same capacity about about 90,000 um and hopefully you know with that beautiful wood of

032those bleachers we can do some surplus and sales of that wood. >> Oh heck yeah. >> Yes. I haven't even got gotten that far. I didn't know we had shuffle board. >> Oh, really? Okay. >> Under the bleachers. >> Huh. I didn't I didn't know that. >> That's such a good game. >> You can put lots of things on there and >> shuffle board. I don't know how that would resonate with, you know, what's it? Gen Z or Gen X or whatever these kids are, but Oh, floor hockey. >> I don't know. >> Uh, floor hockey was that was my jam. >> I made the motion. Second. >> All in favor? >> Thank you. >> All right. Here's your new bleachers. >> Yeah. So hopefully the grant closes in November, so I'll be submitting here

033relatively soon and we'll go from there. >> Wonderful. Thank you so much. That going to be so exciting to see those. Um then 8 point uh to the oh sorry 9.2 the advanced placement. >> So we should we need to go back to 8.2 two, which is a a board self assessment. >> Oh, yeah. Sorry, there I did get in the wrong section. Oops. Yeah, there we go. Sorry. >> So, same survey we did last year uh comes from WASDA. So, if you have some some time, that would be great. Um and I'll keep reminding the board about it, but similar questions and we can look at the data, but it is part of our our policy that we we conducted and we'll review those later. >> Very. Yeah. Thanks everybody for really putting some

034thought into it. Hopes. >> Um, last item under board business is our policy review. This is only first reading and WASDA has done a change in the classification. So we used to have essential, discretionary, and encouraged. Now we're at disc uh discretionary, critical, and important. Why they put that much thought in the change of those terms, I'm not sure, but uh they did. So, we'll move forward. The one error that I did make is where it says right here 5238. This is actually 5253. The pol the links are correct. I just made a typo, so my apologies, but >> Oh, I see. Good. Y >> um 5203 is staff assistance program. 5222 is job sharing. 5231 is length of workday. 5240 evaluation of staff. 5251 conflict of interest. 5252 is staff involvement in political activities.

0355253 is professional boundaries. 5254 staff expression. And 5260 is uh personal records. So, so for next meeting it will be our second reading and we can adopt as the board wishes. >> Yeah. Looks good. >> Um this is our schedule for first semester. I know I chatted with with the board about the secondary going to a block schedule. So you'll see Monday, Wednesday, purple day, Tuesday, Thursday, gold day, and then on Friday, we'll have all eight classes. So, um, >> you mean with the headphones on, >> huh? >> I wish the volume. >> Uh, had the volume off, too. >> Hi, Gage. So, you can see some of the the uh obviously the classes that we're offering and some of the elective classes. A lot of the elective classes we're building on student choice. And

036not sure why some of these titles are off, but uh trying to we're adding uh elementary art and we're adding um middle school art and uh excuse me um elementary music. So, >> okay. >> With with the move to the schedule, we're able to allow to offer a few more electives for especially our secondary kids and that required some some give and take with our teachers, especially our secondary teachers. But, you know, they had a this was their request to move to a block schedule and I I I think it's a good one. We'll we'll see how it >> how the kids do it, >> particular No, no, no. Tried to kind of shield them from it. Really has no no impact on the elementary which made it a very challenging schedule to to to

037do. So my my thanks to Satie for doing that for us. And >> thank you Satie and all the teachers. >> Yeah, high schoolers will be fine. and you know it does require a different type of teaching because you can't just obviously lecture and have the kids do one thing for 90 minutes. So that's why we are you know having some PD on it. Uh I think our science teachers and PE teachers will love it. Um sometimes it is a a stressor for math teachers because there is a it's hard to do math for 90 minutes straight. What I am showing here is our uh AP report from English lit and composition and we had you can see we had seven kids take it and we had our kids here. Let's see a score of

038three is a passing score earning credit. So we had four kids who earned college college credit. So >> yeah, >> and that can be transferred to probably any university in uh in the world, certainly in the US and that's what differentiates AP from Running Start. If you're go uh Running Start classes, sometimes those credits will not transfer over to uh maybe a little bit more prestigious or rigorous university. Um if you're getting let's say running start credits from uh community college a lot of time the uh more prestigious universities will not take those they will take AP credit so it's kind of a universal you can kind of see how the kids did not only in Washington but also uh around the world globally so you know I I really want to commend the the

039students for their hard work and and Jessica Lewis because you know you're kind of putting yourself out there um >> because if the kids don't pass It's uh you know it's it's hard as a teacher. So congratulations to all the kids. Uh and looks like we you know we had one student score a two almost got there. So I think as time goes on the kids will get more and more used to know it's it's okay to do hard things in school and earning that credit. Maybe this is you know an English 101 that they don't need to take at university. So it is going to save them and their family some money down the road. So, congrats to the kids and and to Miss Lewis. So, >> yeah, very proud of that. Um, lastly

040for board discussion is I'm just sharing our staff supplemental contracts and extracurricular contracts. This is basically the same things that we've offered the last several years. The one change we did make is right here, curriculum coordinator. This used to be considered uh it was titled the elementary science specialist. We're doing a different type of science curriculum which doesn't require um some of the managerial things that was required before. So now uh Becky Hoo is going to fall into the role of curriculum coordinator and basically mapping out what we do as a school uh in math in science by grade level uh because we don't we have bits and pieces but we don't have a consistent uh format. So that will be uh Becky's role to do. It's also part of one of the new uh

041state laws that came through about if parents want to see the curriculum, we want to be able to have quick access for it and not have parents have to wait and search for it. So that will be what Becky will spearhead. But like I said, all of these have are similar from years past. I'd love to have Knowledge Bowl, but again, we'll see if kids are interested in it. Um she like trivia. It's a great activity. They go compete against other other schools, but we'll see. And here is our athletics um contracts. Similar to what we've had in the past, um our numbers, I know for middle school uh girls basketball, we're right on the threshold. Will we have a team? Will we not have a team? About five, six kids. So hopefully we'll pick

042up some more. Um, so we'll see if if we're able to uh to fund all these, but this is, you know, if we fund all of our positions and have all of our sports, which we would love to have, this is this is our total. >> Yeah. Nice. >> Just just sharing that with the board. And uh again, no surprises as in the past. So we don't want surprises. So that is the end of my board discussion. >> Okay. Nice. Um the the contract thing is on there. Did you want to say anything about that or >> which which the supplemental contracts? >> Yeah. Or 9.3 there. Oh, sorry. Never mind. >> Yeah, >> I had the wrong thing in my head. Yeah, we just talked about it. Yeah. Okay. Sorry. You got the academic
