001One nation under God, indivisible. >> Our first up, approval of the agenda. I'd approve of the agenda. Been moved and seconded. All those in favor signify by saying I. >> I. >> Motion carries. Uh, do we have anybody signed in to speak tonight? Blake, anybody online? Okay, we are going to skip over hearing of visitors. Next up is student representative reports. Samantha, you're up first. >> Well, hello everybody. I'm glad to be back. I'm sorry I missed the last two board meetings. I was out of town for about a month and I just got back last week and I'm very happy to be back. But as for school, small sports have started up and have gone really well and everyone is ready to just get started. >> Um, so I'm sure you guys are aware
002that link crews funding was cut, but I discussed with our leadership and ASB adviser about maybe ASB and leadership taking over freshman orientation. So hopefully those plans are in the works and freshman orientation will still happen even without leave group. Olivia. >> Um, >> adding on to the ASB side of things, ASB is getting together soon to make posters for our first assembly for each of the like student sections. And the high school back to school night is on the 25th at 5 to 7 and the middle school and elementary schools are around then too. >> Thank you. Any questions for Samantha, Ezri, or Olivia? ready to get back to school. No comment. Well, thank you very much. Um, moving on to action items. Central Washington Joint Cooperative Fresh Fresh Procedure Products Contract. Okay, that's
003why it looked funny. How are you doing? Well, >> all right. So, um I belong or I don't belong. Our food service department belongs to the central Washington uh directors association and it's directors from Proser all the way up to Ellensburg. We're a group and Meline that is the director for West Valley, she did all the leg work for our bid for fresh produce and our bid for our milk going together as a whole group. We get better pricing for our produce and for our milk. So this is the final bid that um we would like to be approved. So we can get great prices for our produce and for our milk. >> How's this compare to what we spent last year on? >> It's around the same amount or pretty close to it. We
004actually um use this very same company which is Spokane Produce and Spring Brook Farms for our supplies last year. What the the savings comes in, we didn't see a huge price increase. Yes, we right >> are going to have a price increase, >> but it's not as big as if we had bought it individually, I guess. >> Yeah, our buy was to buy the milk from US Foods, which it would be like 32 cents per carton compared to I believe this is 29 cents per carton. Been happy with the quality. >> Yeah, they do a very great job. Funny thing, I did have a couple students say, "With all these budget cuts, does that mean our lunches are going to be grosser?" >> We're working the best we can. No, not >> any questions for
005Darling. >> I would make a motion to uh approve the Central Washington Joint Cooperative Fresh Produce contract 2526. >> Second. >> It's been moved and seconded to approve the Central Washington Joint Cooperative Fresh Produce Contract Products Contract. Students, all those in favor signify by saying I. >> I. Motion carries. Thank you, Darlene. >> You're welcome. Thank you. >> You get the next one, too, it looks like. Uh, next up is the Central Washington Joint Cooperative Milk and Dairy Products contract. >> So, see, I got ahead of myself. I was thinking they were two together, but it's the very same thing. It's our co-op that we belong to. Mageline from West Valley did all the leg work for us on getting our required three bids on advertising sprook farms will be awarded the contract again this
006year like they were last year or two three years ago, excuse me. Are you happy? >> Yes, we are. Once in a while we do have a few milks that are bad. The students bring them to us. I have to take a little picture of the numbers on top and send them to Charlie with Springbrook and they're always really good at giving us credit. So, for the most part, yes, we're very happy with them. >> Well, move to approve the Central Washington Joint Cooperative Milk Dairy Products contract. >> I'd second it. >> Been moved and seconded to approve the Central Washington Joint Cooperative Milk and Dairy Products contract. Students, all those in favor signify by saying I. >> I. Motion carries. >> Thank you, darling. appreciate it. >> Uh, next up is a Central Washington
007University internship program. >> So, this is actually Darlene also. I'm here to support her. Um, but we had for the first time really, I think ever a request from Central Washington University to host um, one of their dietetic students here to do an internship in our food services program. So, you want to talk about that a little bit, darling? She will hopefully be coming in November into December. She will shadow our department and learn what it's like to work in the food service department. Um I feel that we could probably learn just as much from her as what she will from us. She does uh she's also kind of do a project. So, if there's one of their like celebrations or things that's upcoming, kind of get some new blood on that and then she
008could uh work on a project which is also kind of exciting and bring some new ideas and things to the program. So, it was our first time try. Don't know what that was. been moved and seconded to approve the Central Washington University internship pro program students. All those in favor signify by saying I. >> I. Motion carries. Thank. Thank you. Are you done? Are you done now? >> Thanks for coming. I appreciate it. >> Thanks. Uh, next up is the frontline recruiting and hiring time and attendance. >> So, we're probably all going to tag team um, uh, the team from Front Line. Megan, you're on. And do you have another team member with you? >> I do. My director, Stephanie Fairman. Okay. >> Hi, everyone. >> Good evening. >> So, we're going to tag team.
009They're here to answer questions. Um, we felt it was there. So, I don't even know where to begin. Darlene, Delis and I. >> Yeah. >> I mean, I know you Deanna. Um, so let's talk about this working smarter not harder, checks and balances, um, different pieces. >> So, I'm going to start at the beginning. Our our, um, absence management, what we've been talking about in our budget session and what we've talked about. So, I'm going to be gone. I go into Front Line and I say vacation and I'm going to be gone, right? You know, I'm gone. It comes out of my vacation or my sick, whatever it be. That portion of Frontline, we have a cooperative agreement and we pay a portion and it's part of our ESD. Okay. Frontline has many many pieces
010that are is way bigger than that. One of which is timekeeping. So let's think from every concept that you can imagine. The old slide the paper under the thing and do a punch clock, right? Taps the thing, it punches your time. But someone still manually had to calculate the amount of hours that you worked or time or whatever and your break and they punch in and out. Well, think of that in a in a modernized system. You've maybe seen it at the drive-through McDonald's or you've seen other things. You walk in, you can 1 2 3 4 you're at work. You go out. One, two, three, four, you're gone, right? You come back. Then the piece about time and attendance um is this. It then would communicate. So I'm going to just pretend, well, we
011do have a lot of people do this, but I'll give you an example. They come in at 5:30 in the morning and they drive bus. They go, they drive bus and then they come back and they finish their bus route and then they go work in a kitchen and then they are done with their kitchen and they go run an afternoon route and they get done with their afternoon rent and then they drive a route for a athletic team. All of those have different budget codes. Every one of those time sheets gets touched by people. not only the employee who has to calculate it and do whatever, but also their administrative assistant secretary and then our payroll person. And that's all has to be data entry. If you've ever worked in data entry, the more
012you touch it, the more times there is for error and the time it takes to capture. In the world of LNI, now we pay to the minute, not the quarter hour, to the minute. So you have to have this little I'm going to literally call it a cheat sheet. One minute is 0 whatever and two minutes right. So that because it has to go into a mathematical equation so on and so forth. Right? So we have a proposal that's um time and attendance. But here's the next piece. If we we also if you've seen our recruiting and hiring. So, we say we need teacher X, bus driver Y, whatever it may be. We post a job. The person goes in and they spend all this time filling out an application. They're done. We But before
013that ever happens, we send it off to the principles and whoever the director is, get the job description done. Tons and tons of time going back and forth. Then you're hired. You've got your name in there. You've done whatever. And um now somebody has to go in and now in input you into to Skyward. So we're going to type your name again, your address, your social security number, and all the information you've spent all the time putting in. We got to touch it again. Our dream and goal with the front line in doing the whole scheme is that we don't we you're in one time and it's downloaded per se uploaded into Skyward for the payroll side of things but your time sheet everything may work on the backside. Sean is here. She sat through
014some of these. Uh Deise, Diana, and Megan, if there's something special that you want to talk about, but Diana, what did you gain from our meetings? We clearly are like in the 19th century, maybe the 18th, um with our practices. we've stayed with. We have so much paper that we're doing and there's so much room for error and a lack of our our opportunity to hold people accountable because we don't see it till after it's done. This is like live. So, if we wanted to check on someone to see if they're doing someone that maybe has done a lot of overtime, we would be able to just go in and look and see if today they had overtime or yesterday they had overtime. We are processing this many time sheets a a month. Deliss made
015reference at our last meeting to do spending three days on bus driver time sheets alone. And not only are all the codes different for those jobs, athletics one for the athletics trip is one code. The regular bus trip is a code. The pay the um food service is a code. Those are also different pay rates. Um so that for anybody that's done payroll, I actually did payroll before I was a educator, but it was straight payroll. like there's pay rates, there's you make this much money, they take out this this many taxes, social security, all that. And it was, you know, I did it on a computer, but you were figuring everything pretty much by hand or using a chart. This is nothing like that. We have thousands of C code combinations and people earning
016different pay rates for doing different things or sometimes for doing almost the same thing. So, um it's just the way schools are. So, we have to get to a place we are struggling. Our employees are struggling. We are struggling the we have to there is a cost of doing business and this has a cost obviously one that delissas accounted for in the budget but we have to do something different we are dying on the vine and we have don't have enough help to do everything we're doing so we have to be more efficient and this is the only way I mean something like this is the only way >> so spirited today >> is there other districts that obviously there is other districts using it that have proven this >> yes lots >> can save
017us a lot of money I mean or is it just management tool >> overtime mistakes >> so if you did get into an issue where you didn't want to pay overtime I mean this would be better documentation of >> Yes. I'm going to just pick on the person who's totaling the transportation time sheets. It's and I did like said I've been doing payroll it's one bus driver's time sheet who works like I kind of shared a time sheet for a month for one person meaning all of their time sheets right for the whole month probably takes me two hours because because to the minute right there's not a a very good mathematical equation to go from a 60-minute clock to a decibel system. Does that make sense? So, you have to look at that. And
018we do have computers that give us that. But I'm just saying it's very difficult. It's very time consuming. And then the pay codes so that we are charging athletics or so that we are charging food service. And if the driver's route was something for special education, is it getting charged to the right pay code? Is it for the the trip that has funding for grant funding? That's where the that's where the issues are and the multiple pay codes because a drive rate is a certain amount, a standby rate is a certain amount, an athletic trip, if you go past midnight, it's a different rate, right? So that should all be able to be managed by a computer system. >> And if you talk about the recruiting and hiring piece, so right now we have a
019teacher um say a elementary teacher job, we might have 60 applicants. Some of those applications are 20 to 40 pages long. We print those. Then they go in a big like a accordion folder with Jodie Sabin. She has to go through all 60 of them, write also on paper, send those like do her interviews, do a bunch of other stuff on paper, send all that paper back. And uh I mean it's it's that alone like we don't want to buy paper. this system and we all of that that review and the choosing people for interviews and and um employee you know having our u people look at them to choose appropriate candidates can all be done the other piece I'm going to use something really simple we have we hired Himeme Martinez who was our
020lead mechanic right so now we have to post a job for lead mechanic so it goes like this uh Aurelia will you please send this an Aurelia, will you please send the lead mechanic job posting to Haime for approval? Well, we have to find it because it was nine years ago when we posted it. So, we have to go find somebody's file who has the file from nine years ago and now we need we have new like an all job applications, right? We have new rates of pay and we have well, that's all kept there. So, when you update who your title N coordinator is, it has to be on every application. we don't have to go in and type every the format and the items are there and then we have a check and
021balance. Um if you've worked in an organization where person one approves, you approve the box and it automatically gets sent to the next person. Well, right now we're doing that by email and by paper and through inner district envelope that has to go from you to you to you to you before to get the signatures versus signing electronically and approving this one. and the lease has to have them last because that has the budget. >> What it comes down to is time and um so time entering in the data or time analyzing the data and um where do we want employees to operate in? What do we want them to operate at? The entering of time or the analyzing of time. So when we talked about budget this last time, this would be allow the
022lease to see in real time sub costs, the extra time, the extra days, the overtime, and then you're able to catch those things earlier. So for me, it's really really easy to see the cost benefit for the time and attendance piece of Frontline. I think just the time saved in processing and accuracy, right? Catching those mistakes. Um, I easily see how that pays off quickly. It's a little harder for me to see the recruiting and hiring piece. I know paper is cumbersome and we shouldn't be doing everything in paper files, but I I also feel like there's a lot of free tools if we're using technology and the resources available to us that could solve some of those problems too at no cost. >> I at the same time we are looking into that. Uh
023Sean brought up a a great point that our Skyward system has an uh a a recruiting piece in within Skyward um where a job board would be where you would go and apply and then um we would just take all that information from the job board over to the payroll side. We don't know what the cost of that is yet. Um and then if it's going to be integrated as easily when we move to Q, which is um the new skyboard basically. So all districts in Washington state will have to move to Q eventually. We're not slated to go until 2028, but we want to make sure that whatever we decide for HR recruiting can be be transferred over to to the Qite. >> And we c we most likely cannot use a free service
024because we have records retention laws we have to meet when it comes to a higher. So, we would have to have something when we have the records, the access to the records. And Sean maybe could help with that. But I I don't think if we use like Indeed or something like that, we would have >> They don't have to be printed, right? They can be digital records. >> They they can be, but the retention is I actually think the final people we hire has to be printed, but by law, Yes, we have record retention laws, but we also when you enter into an agreement with those free services, you're not always bound by the privacy that we have to have when we have social security numbers and birthdays and names out there. When you pay
025for a service, you have a contractual agreement with that and then they keep that those records are kept safe. So both things really would put us into a paid service. >> Just thinking of Jodie with her giant binder and printed paper and like that doesn't have to happen that way, right? Is that required though? I mean, do you have to print them all? That's what I'm wondering. Like all this paper, is that >> in the system we have? Yes. And the system we have, that's really kind of our option. So, we do need a different system. So the the current system that we have it doesn't retain the information like Skyward or this would. So right now every time somebody applies we are printing off even to just review them right we we get 20
026applicants it's good 25 pages per application because of all their attachments their job history um reference checks all of that and so instead of being able to look have it digitally we have everything in paper so like when somebody applies for a job we have to print all of them keep all of them and then when we hire somebody we have to keep a folder with the with the application in it and then all of our questions also. >> So, it could be scanned and kept once you've done the work, but we you could potentially download I'd have to show you. You could potentially download each applicant's application in a PDF and then send that PDF to the people for review. that that is that is possible. I hear what you're saying, but there's no
027way for you to see it and take your notes. We don't have a check to who's first, who's second, who's third, who's fourth, and the in the hire and any information >> docuign routing or something. >> We do not we do not own a license to docuine. >> Any of the information that we collect during a during an interview has to be kept for records retention. So any of the chicken scratch that gets wrote on the on the notes because the system we have doesn't allow us to maintain notes from records requests and or uh notes from reference checks and notes from the interviews and all of that. There's not a place to put it. So we would still be handwriting and then scanning that document and there's no way for it to be electronic.
028>> And then front lining would put in your notes. this this you would have a feature to be able to put your notes in as part of the diving. >> Wouldn't need to print things anymore. >> I take notes online and and do that and then that file is saved. There's a and and um there's a gosh, I just drew a total blank a reference check form that you fill out and then you d it date and timestamps my signature per se just like similar to a docu sign right when you date >> and and then it routes I mean then it's right track to HR versus Jod either putting in district mail or in the summer hopping in her car driving it over and hoping the right person So cost um you have some
029different proposals in front of you. It is a discount for doing more than one. Um I don't know what else to have a question on the uh time and attendance. Is it like an app system and like where the employees would have an app that they would get use on their phones to clock in, clock out? >> So, we would have >> or is it a central? >> It would be a t a central time clock. So, um bus garage they would have a laptop and they would go in, they would clock in and they would clock out. Um ideally we would have you know divi several devices but but it's just not something that we can afford. It's not something that they offer but not something that we can afford. We have devices already
030that that laptops that are not being used um that they can go in and and clock in and clock out. um do >> so I guess my question you know we're talking about devices and putting them at every building every possible situation to have people clock in clock out wouldn't it not not just be easier for them to pull up an app on their phone and >> in in theory yes however um if you are familiar with school districts are specific departments specifically our transportation department they're not the most technologically savvy um literally at all. We have a hard time even getting them to use their email. Um and so it's trying to make it as easy as possible for them and and also for us and so yes, phones are an option, right? >>
031Yeah. So, I mean, >> yeah, >> the only issue I mean we've we've had uh >> with the whole time clock thing with the the mobile app is people clocking in when they're not actually on the job site. Um, so the the way we're set up is actually, you know, your digit code fingerprint. So, I mean that that's yeah the the downfall with anything mobile with guys. >> Well, I know that >> I I'm from Frontline. I can talk a little bit about that if you'd like. Uh I don't know if you guys can hear me. >> Yeah, we can. >> So, uh we actually with our mobile app, we do what's called IP blocking. So, um, it essentially requires that if you are clocking in on the mobile app, you are required to be
032on the district Wi-Fi. Um, and then what it also does is it tags the geo location of exactly where you are clocking in from. So, you can't, you know, be at Starbucks or down the street at the grocery store clocking in. So, I hope that's helpful. >> I have a question though. What about when what about the bus driver that's on a trip in Seattle and they're done for the night because the kids are in the hotel room? >> Great question. So, we have the ability to bypass the IP blocking. So, if you have a certain amount of employees, like for example, those bus drivers who are on, you know, field trips who are not going to be able to be on the district Wi-Fi, you can set uh those specific group of employees to
033have that setting where they can bypass the IP blocking. It's still going to pull the geo location on the back end. Uh but they could you could set that up in the system. Do >> these time sheets then get like submitted on a regular like bi-weekly frequency and a supervisor reviews and approves that that's accurate and the codes are accurate like is there some checking of time? >> Can you go to like slide? So there is a beautiful slide deck that I think Megan made for us but can you go to like slide that and that's kind of hard to see but if you look at the slide you can see like you can see all of your employees that you would be reviewing whether they've got everything submitted whether they're pending what and if
034they have had any overtime if they're under overtime. Uh that's kind of what it looks like. So out of you know curiosity um you know when they they use this system does the I guess what are the steps um I guess for approval or I guess I don't know what I'm try how I'm going to try to say this but you know if you have an employee clock in and clock out and it's geo reference to whatever their location is um I'm assuming you can set it's like a two-part question now I thought of my other point But um you can actually if they can't get on the Wi-Fi um is there a way to put like I call it like a geo fence around their place of employment. So like instead of having to
035be on the Wi-Fi, you know, you could just say say building secretary or something at the high school that they could they can only clock in within the the realm of the high school grounds. That's my first question. No, >> I'm happy to answer. Um, we at Frontline, we don't geoence because essentially what somebody could do is get on a VPN and spoof their location. So, the IP blocking is a safer bet. Uh, meaning again, they need to be on the district Wi-Fi in order to clock in. But like I said earlier, the you can change the settings for different subsets of employees like those bus drivers that take those field trips to essentially bypass that. And and my next question is part of you know say your weekly approval um is the employee required
036to approve their time card or I guess maybe during payroll. Um the employee as well as their direct supervisor required to approve their payroll before the system will allow it to push through. I didn't know if somebody was jump in. Yes. So, I'm saying I'm done for the week or the month and I ask for approval and then it goes to my boss. >> Okay. So, we um I mean I'm I'm all for the time and attendance thing. Um but at some point in time on on these time clocks, you still have to have supervisors checking in this during the week rather than Frank submits his on Friday and he's got 50 hours. I mean it goes back to conversation we had had at the last board. I mean it is accountability for supervisors. >>
037Absolutely. Right now you know we can put checks and balances in place right I I don't want to say every Friday but at a set time you have to approve last weeks or every two days right >> or whatever we decide as a check and balance system. Um or we can I'm sure I don't know my frontline team that's on I'm sure you can say um an email notification when somebody does outside their contract time like when they've clocked something out of out of I mean there's just lots of pieces we don't even know everything that it can do for us at this point but I mean you've seen those alerts right I you get them from your bank you've just done a something so somebody put in for overtime I'm sure there's type of
038alert or Yeah. So in the system it'll actually uh and again every district does a little bit different but um our best practice and recommendation for school districts is that they submit their time sheets essentially weekly because then uh finance is able to know and budget out how much overtime they're going to spend you know each payroll period because essentially right now if you're doing it by paper you're not able to calculate that in advance. So, if you look on the screen, you'll see um uh if it'll show in red or green like where they're at in in uh terms of how many hours they're essentially scheduled to work for that specific job. >> But I guess it's a follow up, but it will you can set up an alert system. So if somebody does
039do overtime and they're not supposed to, it'll kick up an alert to the supervisor. >> Yeah, I think it sends it in the application itself and then I believe there are uh AB there's an ability to send an email as well to the supervisor. Um I know for sure it sends it once they submit the time sheet. Um but obviously from there the supervisor could deny that time sheet as well. Gotcha. >> But if if the guy's clocked in, you have to pay him. So I guess what I'm saying is we need like an alert to go out before >> before that individual were Frankfurt to hit 40 41 hours. I guess how are we going to catch this better in 25 26? >> Well, I think first of all it's weekly versus so right
040now you work the month of August. your paycheck does or your excuse me your pay uh time sheet does not go to payroll till the 5th of September. So, >> so, so right. So, right now we cut from 30 days to seven days. That's one. >> Two, if we do that, we have different when you've been directed no to overtime without approval, then we have disciplinary measures or whatever because of that, right? Right now, um, it's it's so postfact, right? We still have those things in place and we're working on doing that, but it's so post back post time frame so far down the road and it's hard then with all that paper to figure out who did overtime and who didn't without literally going through each piece of paper that we have not that
041we're aware of and we've talked with both of the main union presidents and that those This system is used by other pieces. The only one that has an overtime clause in it is ESP. Is that correct? SP union says that they can work 5 hours of overtime per week without most of them don't um because most of them are are staff in our office and they know the situation that we're in. But it is it's in their contract that they can work up to five hours and I don't know when that was negotiated but it was long before long before us. >> Are there school districts that we know that are using this like we have some conversation with them and >> maybe >> I can speak up. Yep. Tapenish school district. Am I saying
042that correctly you all? >> Yes. Perfect. Um is using both our time in attendance and recruiting and hiring. I think uh well I guess times change but yes there are quite a few in Eastern Washington and I could probably easily get your list but I know that there are some but because I don't know them year after year I can't speak that they still are using >> well you kind of look you know I mean I think we can all agree that this is probably a piece of technology that's needed >> I think um You know, if you look at the time in attendance is 10,000 $11,000 by itself. You might as well do both for $1,800 versus, you know, you're still going to save 6,000. So if next year whatever we lose Skyward go
043that route or whatever year that is that that we cancel it and we got to find another one now we're paying another fee to add whether it's this or something else thoughts I agree >> so Megan remember I told you somebody was going to ask what's our out clause Yep, absolutely. So, in our order form, there's a master services agreement and the term and termination is outlined in section 8. I do not want to speak out of term. Um, and I don't I also don't want to read this whole section to you, but you can refer to that in section 8 of our MSA. required. >> I didn't hear that. I'm sorry. >> Can you tell us how much advisor? >> Uh, I believe, and Stephanie, you can hop in on this. I believe it's
04460 days. I didn't hear the question. I'm sorry. >> How much how many days notice do they need to give in order to terminate the contract? >> I actually think it's 30. Honestly, I don't know off the top of my head, but we can get that answer. It's either 30 or 60. It should be in the master services agreement. I can look. >> We needed to get our information. Let's say we >> no issue and we're gonna go to something else. Do you own our information? How do we retrieve that? >> I'm so sorry. It's hard to hear. I can only hear bits and pieces. You said you go ahead. >> If we timely terminate the contract, how do we retrieve our information? Is that proprietary to us or does your company then own it
045if we want to get it back and we terminate in a timely manner? >> A great question. You guys own the data. So, you're able to get that back. >> What's the requirement for you returning it to the district? >> Uh, you guys just submit uh what upon termination, you submit a request to us and we hand all that data over. >> What's the timeline for you giving it back to the district? Is there a requirement for that? you'll return it within 14 days, 30 days, or is it? >> No, we've we've had districts that have terminated like five years ago and they asked for the data today and we still give it to them. >> If they if they ask for it. >> So, I think that's a different a different question. So, if
046we were to terminate today, we have our agreement, it was timely terminated, how fast can you give the information us access to that information? >> Uh, that's a great question. I would say uh I don't know off the top of my head to be honest the exact uh timeline on the returning of data but I know that we're dedicated to do the the the right thing for the school districts and is can we get that language in the contract so if we timely terminate it that we would have access to our information within seven business days. Yeah, we can work with our legal team to add that into the master services agreement >> or whatever administration. >> Yeah, absolutely. If if uh you guys just send that over um and we'll work with the legal
047team to get that added as an addendum to the MSA. >> I'm not seeing any of this language in what's in our board packet. Is there another document? Is there an Yeah, I'm looking at what was sent over and you of the order form and you said page eight. Can you help us a little bit? >> Yeah, absolutely. So, on the Oh, good. I'm off mute. Okay. So, on the order form. >> Uhhuh. On the I'm scrolling down. That would be the fourth page. There's a link and it's it's frontlineeducation.commasteraggreement. and that's on page four of the order form. So, you have to click the link in order to access the MSA. >> Oh, thank you. >> No problem. I know it's a lot. And then in the MSA, there's section 8, term and termination,
048which outlines Thanks Stephanie for putting that in the chat. I think right um for my board if you look at 8.4 for it talks termination for lack of funding. There's a clause in there for eight and that one's 30 days. Have we gone to visit any schools that are currently using it? >> I have used it in past places. >> Okay. >> Other than the time, we've used the attendance piece and the recruiting and hiring, but I've not seen the time feature, the key in piece in action. And I don't think there's any question that we have to modernize and be more efficient. Have we or do we want to look at any other options to see what else is out there? >> Um we we have looked at other options. We looked at um
049a software last year specifically for transportation um for time clocks and uh Sean can attest to this. It was insanely expensive. It did not work with our equipment. Um we we chose Frontline because we already used Frontline for our our ASOP and our um our subs and our our time off. Um and so it would just seamlessly uh I have the worst pregnancy >> the the day the absence data automatically reconciles on the time sheets. So, let's just say I clock in Monday, I clock in Tuesday, but I don't clock in Wednesday. Well, I need to put in an absence, right? If I'm not there. And so, that that absence right now, uh, right now they're having to, you know, look at absence management and then look at a paper time sheet to make sure
050the person didn't put in time. But what will happen with time and attendance is that absence from absence management automatically reconciles on the time sheet. So, the two systems are interconnected. Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you there. I I know what you were trying to say, so I was trying to help. >> Thank you. Thank you so much. The brain frog is real. Um, that will help a lot with our our transportation department in every department really. Um, especially when it comes to calculating overtime. So, if they're not there on a on a Wednesday, that's eight hours, they're not going to get paid time and a half for the extra two hours they worked on Friday would be straight time. Um, so that would help a lot with with the time sheet piece and
051the amount of time that it takes for them to look at ASOP, check all of the times, look at the time sheet, and then also for subs. Um, and so the sub piece is is a huge piece on that because the coding is incorrect, the schedules are incorrect. Um, and this piece would help u mitigate that and think of that. all of that data, our calendars aren't correct, locations, there's a lot of different things. >> Quick question. Um, in the whatever the contract language, can you clarify the uh no termination for convenience? >> It's 8.3. >> Thank you. I was just going to ask client is not entitled to terminate this agreement for any other reason than those contained in this agreement. No termination for convenience is permitted. I could reach out I'm more than
052happy to reach out to our legal team. I truly do not want to talk out of term. Um it is not my realm. Um and so I'm happy to reach out to our legal team for additional information unless Stephanie you have something to add. I think it's basically just saying that uh and again this is my interpretation of uh what this means is that um basically the the district's not just going to say hey you know we just don't want this anymore. Uh there's got to be like a reason. But I will say like we only work with K12 school districts. Like that's why we're called Frontline Education. So, like we're our our team's very understanding, you know, if if things happen like uh in a district where budget constraints happen. I know that's in
053the MSA, but like uh we're very willing and and happy to work with districts. Like we understand uh you know what districts are facing every single day because that's the only people we work with. Great. >> Thank you. I would suggest or move that we table it to our next meeting and continue as I think this is software that's going to work with what we already have just to maybe get some answers to the outstanding questions to make sure that it's going it's going to work and we're going to be the best option for us. Can I clarify the two things we're talking about? The termination piece and what happens to the data, how fast the data turns around. Those are my two things so far. >> Question. >> Okay. So to my the frontline
054people on those will be our questions. A table means they're not denying. They're not doing anything. table means it just sits back on the agenda and we answer the questions and then they make a decision. >> Understood. Thank you, Kim. >> Wondering if uh is it is this time since I know it's going to take what three or four months to implement? >> Yeah, it's it's going to take a while anyway. So, okay. I want to make a motion to table the frontline recruiting and hiring time and attendance contract to the August 27th meeting. >> I'll second. >> It's been moved and seconded to table the frontline recruiting and hiring time and attendance um contract to the 27th. All those in favor signify by saying I. >> I. I any opposed? The motion carries. I
055do appreciate you both getting on and and spending some time with us. Um and you'll get these questions answered. We'll bring it back here in a couple weeks. So, thank you. >> Thank you. And uh we'll get you those answers and if anything else comes up like let us know. We uh we're happy to answer and we want you guys to feel comfortable and uh we're we'll do anything we can to help. So, we appreciate it. >> Thank you all. Well, we appreciate your time. >> Thanks. Thank you. Have a great evening. >> You guys, too. Moving on to the Happy SLP LLC contract for speech language pathology services. >> Uh, so we are short one speech and language pathologist. We've had the job posted for several months. we have had no qualified applicants. Um,
056this person actually worked for us last year and has had a business for a really long time. So, she is uh we she has worked with Dr. Allen to provide us with a contract and uh this actually even though it's really not preferred that we have a contractor because we have a speech parah that works with the middle school and the high school kids. So, this person has to supervise that person and help with the lesson, blending, all of that. A pair can't do that on their own. Um, it's actually ends up costing us about a third of what the person would actually cost us. So, there is a cost savings even though it's not ideal, but it will work. She's a she was a great employee last year and uh she'll do a great
057job. She already has has a working relationship with the parah. same person that supervised her last year >> and it's virtual. >> Uh she would be but the actual services are with the parah in person. >> She's supervising the parent and helping planning the lessons for parent deliver. So >> versus the she's not it's not virtual for the kids. She's the supervisor virtually but the the lessons come from the par in person. >> Okay. Thank you. I would make a motion to approve Happy SLP LLC contract for speech language pathology services. >> It's been moved and seconded to approve the Happy SLP LLC contract for speech language pathology services. Any further discussion? Hearing none. Students, all those in favor signify by saying I. I. I. >> I. Motion carries. Uh, moving on to vouchers and
058payroll. Any questions for that? A lot of attachments to catch up. I move to approve vouchers and payroll. >> I'll second it. >> It's been moved and seconded to approve vouchers and payroll. Students, all those in favor signify by saying I. >> I. I. >> I. >> Motion carried. Uh, next up is resolution 1225 approving the sale of a parcel of surplus district real property and authorizing the superintendent to sign all documents necessary to effectuate and complete the sale of said property. So we have been keeping you a breast of the sale of what we confir property and that's that the resolution says you're give empowering me to sign on behalf of the district. Move to approve resolution 1225 approving the sale of a parcel and surplus district rail property and authorizing the superintendent to
059sign all documents necessary to effectuate the sale of that property. >> I'll second. >> It's been moved and seconded to approve resolution 1225. This will be a roll call vote. Michelle >> I. >> Brian >> I. >> Frank I. >> Kisa >> I. I two will vote I. Uh motion carries. Uh next up is the second reading of policy 3246 uh student and telecommunication devices or the cell phone policy. >> So um in front of you is a little bit different than what we see a lot of time in second reading. We've done some research. Um, so there was a when we met with our administrators, there seemed to be in SEC in letter A, there was a little bit of difference between middle school and elementary school and it just they we just felt
060it wasn't quite right. So we did some adjustments there. So you can see those um the on school grounds versus during the school day. it is possible that a student could potentially be there at 4:00 and we don't want a violation of using a cell phone at 4:00. So that was during the school day. The whole point of this whole policy is to increase engagement during the lesson. Um so we did that and then we felt um the reason we don't understand or did not understand why the word or school staff was on the elementary. It really is an administrator's decision. So that's that piece. And then um letter G um did some work with WSDA or what we for formerly call WASDA um which is the governing body. I did some research as requested
061and um basically in a nutshell when you bring something to school we're private property and we could technically look at it but it's a very fine line. what is private, what's not and that is not our intent and with looking with legal counsel and WASDA um while other districts have left J and we as a team are proposing to you that we would take that out and and if we needed something then it would be a family discussion or which is not normally done on a second reading. I mean we don't make a change in the second reading >> questions on the updated policy students >> I have got feedback that parents had concerns with G so I think you'll be pleased to see it removed >> students what do you think it's I I
062do you understand why we're removing G and do you see I mean do you do you support the removal of G? I mean I know I'd really like to hear your thoughts on it just a little bit. >> Well, I think you were right earlier about how there is that line of what is personal, what is private to that student and I think that at the end of the day that is our property and you know like you said we're on private property like when we are on the school grounds and so I do understand why you would want to search her any electronics or anything but in those cases you do have to talk to the parent eventually and so I think it would be wise to just have that as a family discussion
063as you said. Yeah, I think to add on to that, I was wondering if like if there was something on the phone that would like be evidence that maybe a kid's in danger. Like maybe kids are talking about a fight and they're like, "Oh, well, so and so texted so and so that they're going to fight here. Would the like staff be allowed to look at the phone for that or would they have to talk to the family first?" Well, that was the intent of G that we could look at it and I think in good business and I as a parent, right? Um, I'm going to say almost every parent I would ever talk to would want to help support stopping that. So, I can't imagine that they wouldn't let us, but I don't
064think we would want to do it without parent permission. So, there's still like they're striking G, >> but there's still sounds like some procedure that needs to be developed to address what he's not going to anymore. >> Right. So, we are working on the procedure. Dan and I have been working on it. Um, but we did really, it sounds kind of funny, but we couldn't really write the procedure till we decided if we were going to have G or not. So, we will have to work on that. Does that make sense? But, we couldn't. I started and I started writing it and then we're like well we're going through all this work if we're it won't it'll be pretty simple because what we're trying to do everybody was listening or might listen to it later
065we're talking about improving the quality of engagement and lesson. We're not trying to get into someone's space. We're trying to get the phones put away and engage with the teacher and the lesson. This really isn't about the private space. And the other thing is is protecting others. If there is a scuffle, a fight, or something, we don't want it recorded. We don't want it passed on. We don't want it shared on. That's why we're trying to put them away. >> Parent doesn't comply with their students phone being searched. What's the next step? >> I'm going to be honest, I don't know. Because >> would their phone just be confiscated during school? Like they have to turn it into the office. >> That's what we're having to work on the procedure for. Okay, >> that's a
066really great question because we're going to have to get through that. >> We don't want to tug a war over a phone. >> We also know it's going to take a little bit of time and then after a while it will not be a big deal anymore. Well, there's still more work to be done, but we uh do we need to make a motion on this as it is. I would make a motion to approve the second reading of policy 2346, students on telecommunication devices, cell phone policy. >> A second. It's been moved and seconded to approve the second final reading of policy 324 as student and telecommunication devices. Students, >> all those in favor signify by saying I. >> I. >> Motion carried. Moving on to item nine, emergency certificates. >> Well, here we
067are again each year. Um, we do have actually with the emergency certificates, there's three there. Um, but Evan Swearing just got received her regular teaching certificate in the last two days, but it's a not a special ed certificate. So, I'm going to have to bring her back as an out of endorsement. Um, she still has an emergency certificate. So, if you approve it like this, it really doesn't matter. Um, but she will come back again now as an out of endorsement because she got her elementary ed certificate and she's in a uh program to get her special ed. our principles have struggled a little bit with finding we've had several special ed teachers to hire and actually Jackie and Eric are both employees that were pair educators that are in education programs working on their
068special ed endorsements. So there it's kind of your grow your own again. So we're excited to have them aboard. >> I'd make a motion to approve the emergency certificates. >> Second. moved and second to approve the emergency certificates. Students, all those in favor signify by saying I. >> I. I. Motion carried. >> Moving on to item 10, uh, conditional certificates. >> I also have Jacob Hatch received his regular art teaching certificate today. So, he does still have a conditional certificate, so he don't really need to do anything to it, but he technically won't be under a conditional certificate this year. Um, and uh, the other folks listed are either working on they're working on finishing a program tests and um, I know Kase's real close. He he was almost done and think there's maybe a
069baby that threw the hitch and get up or something. So, uh, he'll be done soon. Uh, Cooper's a little bit behind him, but they have to get their CT certification which takes some extra time. >> I'll make a motion to approve conditional certificates. >> Second. been moved and seconded to approve the conditional certificates students. All those in favor signify by saying I. >> I. Motion carries. >> Next up is the MSL consulting agreement. >> Um, so I'm going to be honest. Um, I struggled a little bit with bringing this one. Um it is uh Chris Clem who's been an excellent support for our three building principles using their OSSI funds. They re they received a grant to get um you know for their improvement work but Chris was actually provided free of charge. It was
070like a service. We've seen a lot of growth and improvement and uh all three principles that worked with her uh really felt they benefited from her guidance, support and um honestly quite direct. She's very direct about some of the changes and the things that they need to do. And so uh they really wanted to continue to work with her and at the same time um KRV and the high school um also have improvement to make but they did not benefit from any of those funds. Well, OSSI was discontinued, so they the principles asked for a way to keep her because of how helpful they thought she had been with her work. But I know we are in that time of budget cuts. The reality is though, this um uh title two is for teacher and
071principal improvement, professional development, and TEAP, which is another grant that we apply for um also supports this work. So, it would be no basic ed funding, and she would be able to work. Um, it's actually very, I know it looks expensive, but a very generous contract considering the cost of consulting fees. And Chris would come and work with each of our principles individually um, throughout the school year in addition to the work that Kevin and I will be doing with them. Oh yeah, no subs are required. No subs. >> That's going to be kind of our buzz. What's pot of money and are there any subs? That's going to be the buzz for the year. >> Yeah, there's been three things over my career that have had a major impact on me. One was a
072SIP tap which was school improvement with technical assistance uh program. That was the name. We worked with an ESD our school bar small little school on school improvement using implementation science and had changed that building sport wise. Uh the second was working with Ruth Parker who's an expert with math and I got a grant to work with them for five or six years and last year working uh she has certificates in implementation science and improvement science um systematic way of looking at an approach to make sure things are working using data. >> We have limited funds for professional development this year. Title two is one of those and there's a few others that we can leverage, but um this will be the prof the professional development we can offer the principles. There's no travel. There's
073no, you know, they they're not out of the building. She comes and works with them in their building on site. Um and we do have the funding to pay for it through our our grant and that's the purpose of these of these credits. >> I'll make a motion to approve the MSL consulting agreement. >> I'll second it. been moved and seconded to approve the MSL consulting agreement. Students, all those in favor signify by saying I. >> I. >> Motion carried. >> Uh, next up is the first reading of policy 3122, excused and unexcused absences. >> We'll talk about difficult. So you can see the policy. You can see the wasda policy. then the red line is almost impossible to read and then you know the draft right um the the piece that I'm asking you
074I think Diana would have some input on this I don't know if there's um right below if you go to the draft policy I don't know if we need synchronous and asynchronous inside this policy in um it's there I don't know if it's better to leave it in case something was to happen we'd already have policy. Does that make sense? I don't know if it's needed anymore. I think there's um so I'm I'm going to say so this policy is here because of Miss Olivia who brought this up during the student handbook conversation and um I went and pulled the old policy and and Selena got the the model policy. They're the same year like it was this was approved 2017. the O and I believe at the time that line was changed because in
075the policy the actual policy there is not there should there's no penalty if a student cannot make up a participation class. There's there's really um three choices. There's they get they they somehow can do the activity that was missed. They can do an alternate activity that can make up for that. Can't be a penalty. Can't be only get 80%. Can't be you only get half whatever. or they're excused. That's it. So, there's no penalty for missing a participation class on an excused absence and you have to be able to be allowed to make that up. So, that's really the major change. I feel like that's very pragmatic. An excuse absent. You should you shouldn't be as a participation that Olivia, thank you for raising that issue. questions on the policy students and receiving the unit.
076>> Um I would just like to say thank you Olivia because I have been personally from the you know 80 or you can only get up to 80% for an excuse absence and so I think this will really benefit a lot of students. I move to approve the first reading of policy 3122. >> A second. >> Been moved and seconded to approve the first reading of policy 3122. Students, all those in favor signify by saying I. >> I. I. >> Motion carries. Uh, next up is University of Washington and the high school 2526 local agreement. >> So, this just allows us to provide our college and the high school courses, their science courses that we have through the University of Washington um taught at the high school by uh Miss Mrs. Lacy Martin. Uh, these
077contracts don't cost us any anything, but they provide for the the grading and all the things that have to take place. And then each of the teachers gets kind of an honorarium per student for the grading and the work um that that is paid to us and then we pass it straight through the teachers. So Central Eastern and University of Washington all all pay pay the teachers and they pay us and then we pay the teachers for the extra work for their college and high school courses. >> Are there new University of Washington courses we're picking up or are they just for the ones we bought? So, so the right now we're we don't have all of the courses offered all of the time, but we we're between 40 and 50 college and the high
078school opportunities at the high school depending on whether it's it could be through CTE, uh could be like I said, Eastern Central um University of Washington courses. At this time, we haven't uh we have not added any new courses in a couple of years. uh we working with the high school schedule. CTE does add frequently as they've expanded some of their uh programs, but I don't know I don't know maybe there were two courses this year but that got added. Uh but we're a little bit at capacity right now. We need to um kind of rebuild the enrollment. They're really working to rebuild the enrollment in the course in core science that that dropped down uh in past years and that's coming back up. Um and so to get that where kids have that interest
079and that need for those courses or want for those courses. So um just give us some time. I personally think it's great that we offer all this to our students. I know when I was looking at, you know, courses with my incoming freshman, it was like, is there anything on that list you want to grab because, you know, take advantage. I think it's wonderful that >> Yeah. There's a young lady that I know that she is an avid student. She's very motivated. Uh very good student. She's she told me she's going to be a senior. She's going to graduate with 56 college credit. >> Yeah. I mean, no one can afford to take like paper full anymore, right? >> Literally. Great. questions or comments for Deanna. Um, I'll move to approve the University of Washington
080and the High School 2025 2022 local agreement. >> Been moved and seconded to approve the University of Washington and the High School for 2526 local agreement students. All those in favor signify by saying I. I. Motion carried. concludes our action items tonight. Moving on to consent items one through three. >> Make a motion to approve the consent items. >> Second. >> Been moved and seconded to approve the consent items. Students, all those in favor signify by saying I. >> I. Motion carried. Moving on to reports. Mr. Gilman, you're up first. Uh, so we I know that uh they're going to talk about the admin retreat a little bit, but I just wanted to say uh working on our school improvement plans and seeing what every building is working on and trying to streamline those so
081that everybody's kind of working on the same thing and those evidence-based practices was really neat to see. Um, we're also going into a book study which I shared with the board I think in December, building the impact which is also about the implementation science. So it correlates really well with what Chris the work Chris will be doing with us. Um I was able to do some uh math PD with elementary Monday and Tuesday around math workshop and rich tasks discourse questioning all that. Um, and we had some Panorama PD today, which is the program that you guys approved in the spring, which pulls all of our data into one spot. And um, hopefully we can present some profiles of what's that what that looks like. Being able to pull up a kid and see all
082the interventions that they're in. That's social emotional interventions. That's going to be academic interventions all in one place. So we truly have a better understanding of our kids in real time. >> Thanks Kevin. Any questions for Kevin? Students. >> All right, you're up again. >> Talked quite a bit tonight. I don't have anything else. >> I thought she was gonna say that. >> Um yeah, we did have PD today. Panorama. We have uh Brett, our new certified staff tomorrow for best mentor and our um we're doing required par educator training. Our par educators have to earn 14 uh clock hours per year. We have that tomorrow for half of next week for the other half the ESD is providing us a training called youth mental health first aid that we've had before and for certified
083staff. So, this opportunity for Paris and then um so just a heads up as you know we're trying to move forward with this high school science adoption. Um I was able I'm at the point now where we based on what we need. I mean we still have to go through the process as goes the district instructional materials committee and that's all not going to happen till school starts. I don't have those people right now and then it'll have to be open public review for two weeks and then the re recommendation would come to the board. Uh with our grant, we would be able to adopt and have licenses and all of that for every three year for three years plus some discounts I was able to get cost us $3,800. >> What? >> That's excellent.
084>> And that's with some class sets of books for each of the teachers. So for kids that don't have the online access at home. So that's >> what did we put in the budget? timing was it like 300 something >> 450,000 >> now this is three years we could go out and do more years but um I think three years is sufficient and it also is doesn't commit us to a really long term in case there is something different that we might might come along I and the teachers are quite patient like I said they've waited for 20 years so it's fine uh if they wait a a few more weeks so anyway um that's it for I didn't see any any questions for Deanna. >> Yeah, >> Jim, you're up next. >> Okay. Um,
085we've been here a long time. Uh, you did the um resolution so we can sign for the White Church that property. I will sign for that on September 5th. So, that's that. Parcel B, which is what we're calling it. It's the Park Avenue, the raw land. We will be able to review offers on Monday the 18th with our hope then I would bring forward an offer and then we would go through that whole process again with approximately a 30-day closing. So sometime in early October hopefully we'll be done with that. We have not had a lot of serious interest in the grants avenue property but we've had a lot of people looking. So we just got to find the right one. Um budget we don't we've done that. That's kind of what said we talked
086this through. Um do have to let you know we did have one legal public records request. Um we're fulfilling that now and we have new one one new case that we're working on through special education. Um and I'll keep you a breast of that. Facilities um publicly sharing that due to budget constraints we will not be attempting any work towards neighborhood schools at this time. Um that doesn't mean it's gone forever but we just have to get things right before we can move forward. I want do want to thank you to the maintenance crews for helping us get ready for school. Um things are getting there and we're we're getting this and the list longer. And I have to say Blake said this. I don't know if he's really listening. This is the first time
087in how many years, Blake? Five. That we have not moved a school, moved an office, had to move technology, right? Because you had the one building and then the other building and then Right. And so and last year we moved this office, right? So, like this is the first time he says he's actually maybe going to have most of the technology ready without having to put out fires because something's not hooked up right. So, I want to give Blake credit for bringing that up. Um, this is also kind of a I said it said sort of a bad optics. We had applied for a 25 to 27 ELF early learning facilities public school district grant and we were awarded it $1.1 million to re finish the classrooms for the ECAP which is our three-year-old preschool
088in the back I call it the back corner but it's technically the southwest corner of the Boys and Girls Club. Um Deanna and I are committed. We are not going to sign off or do this not for $1 out of basic ed, right? So we're going to do a lot of work. Um the first work I think is kind of ironic also that the federal government and the state government want me to spend all these hours two weeks to finish a report that's due on Friday, the week before school starts. Like do they not get what superintendents are doing right now? But I we'll get worded. But we want the community to understand um we've said it a thousand times, there's different pots of money and if we don't take advantage of this money and
089take care of things for our young ones, then we're going to lose this grant and who knows how long it'll be to again. So we can't take this money and put it in a different pot. It's was specifically earmarked for something. Um we are happy Diana did her emergency and conditional and so forth. We are fully staffed for teachers and pair of professionals. We are still looking for an athletic trainer. Um, and they're interviewing on Friday for a special services secretary translator. So, I think that'll be taken care of. Welcome back. Letters are out. Hi, May. Our new transportation director is working on the bus routes. Um, uh, we're looking for we're looking at routes a little bit differently. Um if you have family that um attend Island of Angels or some of our larger
090daycarees, we're looking at a way to decrease some of the really crammed full buses and some of the things they're working on. Also expediting and dividing. We might end up having three buses physically stop at the Boys and Girls Club um so that we can have even numbers of students dropping off and stop less shuttle like where you have to get off one bus and not to another. Um I am going to be on vacation this Friday heading to Montana, meet my Wyoming family halfway. Rotary meetings are still going on. Chamber of Commerce events. I'm just sharing with you I could be at an event almost every night, every weekend. Um, oh, and to National Night Out people, I'm just going to be honest. I just plain old forgot to go cut the tops off
091of the ice popsicles. That was my duty this year. And about halfway, it was about 7:30 and I saw somebody post on Facebook, thank you for a great national night out. And I had to text everybody like because I post plane for fun. And um, Red and White Night's coming up September 20th. >> Thank you, Kim. Any questions for Kim? >> No, >> appreciate it.

I know you're you're doing what you need to do and it's not this isn't fun. You know, a lot of families and businesses are feeling it right now just with the the economics the way they are and just increased prices of everything. It's uh it's hard for anyone to make a living just I see in our business too. It's just really tight. But uh you know I always try to look at it like it is an opportunity for us to to try to be thankful for what we do have and look at the good things. Lisa, >> I think we had a lot
093of a lot of rough news. So, I'll try I'll try to lead with something nice.

These kids would love to see their teachers, their principles, and anybody there cheering them on. Um, they I got a little preview and it was a lot of fun and I think you would really enjoy it. Um, if you can figure out uh what Beetlejuice is about, I I don't can't I've watched it a lot of times. I don't understand it, but
