Ken, come on down and state your name and what item you would like to speak to that's on the board agenda, please. Sir, >> um, Kendryland, I'm here to speak on the 2026 pay policy change. Unknown to me, uh, our change in health care meant the drug that I take for my diabetes blood sugar regulation went up a,000%. It's something when I walked into Walgreens, I'm expecting 70 80 bucks and it's,20 something and I'm like, what? So then I had to talk to my doctor. My doctor said, "Here's nine meds." I got on the phone, talked to the formulary people. Out
006of the nine drugs, five aren't even in it. Our new health plan doesn't allow a step therapy program. It doesn't allow uh doctors to do prior authorization. So, we're stuck with I'm on a med that my doctor said quote, "This is going to spike your sugars. You're going to be low. You have a health degree. You know how to understand what to do. But when you have low blood sugars, some of the changes will will be in my classroom." You know, stuff like, you know, being dizzy or confusion. I I I don't even know what that would look like because I tend to be a very clear voice. You know, I've met some of you at restaurants. The thing is, I'm just asking for my salary as I earn it because that extra 600 a
007month allows me to buy a med that will keep my liver, keep my kidneys, keep my vision, and keep me healthy. I mean, I'm going to be 67 this year. I still like what I do and for me it's important to maintain my health and that's what I'm fighting for. I'm not asking for anything more. I just want to get my pay as I earn it so I can afford the med that keeps me healthy. And that's where it's at. And I've seen blood sugar spike down to 70 and I don't feel that good. And that's what this med's going to do. And it's really tough on the liver, but it's what's cost effective. And different companies will look at that. Um, our former, and I won't mention it because I don't think it's necessary,
008but they believed certain drugs were necessary for the best effective care. And unfortunately we don't have that same decorum with the new group and we didn't know I mean I think a lot of teachers are going to find the new policy changes affect them. You know my monitor is almost double. It's the same thing but we can't control that. I didn't pick the health care, but I can afford it if you afford me the dignity to get my pay as I earn it. Thanks. >> Okay, thank you. Okay, moving to letter E, recognition. Okay, the first person we would like to recognize tonight is a student, Calie Walwrath. Cali attended the National Youth Leadership Forum for Medicine and Healthc Care in July where fellow high schoolers, future doctors, healthc care practitioners enjoyed an opportunity to
009discover their passions over eight days on campus at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut to experience collegate lifestyle firsthand, learn from doctors, participate in simulations, visit medical school, test her knowledge during clinical skill rotations, and explore professional opportunities in the everexpanding fields of medicine and healthcare. Her school counselor counselor, Miss Betsy Newfeld, says that she has seen Callie's competitive heart on the tennis court and her commitment in the classroom. This girl is golden and this summer's opportunity will continue to create and construct Callie's caliber. Anigo High School and the school district of Anigo is very proud of you. And I think Callie has a presentation to share with us. Come on down, Callie. Before you finish, we'll get a picture with you and we have a certificate for you, Kelly. Okay. Thank you for coming
010tonight. >> Um, so yeah, I went to Yale University for a leadership forum. Um, so basically on our arrival day, we got into different groups and like met the students we would be working with. Um we just kind of did we did activities to like meet each other and get our friends within our groups. Um we kind of got our dorm situated and yeah. Um so on day two we just like took pictures with our whole group and then with our assigned groups which we each had like different advisors and then we did like some book work and posters and then learned how to take vital signs and do blood pressure. Um, so we did like more book work which we did throughout the whole eight days and then made posters. We learned how to
011suture and do surgical knots. We had a campus tour of the entire like Yale campus. We got to see one of the 26 libraries they have and we went to the bookstore and kind of just, you know, looked the campus. Um, we had a triage simulation day where we like made splints and slings and then we made some gurnies out of like wood and like sheets and then we learned how to use tourniquets and stop like people from bleeding out. Um, we had a medical case study. Um, my group that I worked with, we did it on traumatic brain injuries and then we got our certificates and we had like a final celebration day where we got to like play games with our whole group. And then on the last day, we went to New
012York Medical College and we used their simulation center along with they have like these people that they trained and are hired there that act as patients. So we got to work with them and each of them had like a medical condition we had to diagnose and so we got to work with them and then we used some of their like dummies that they had to do different things like we had a escape room that we had to do and just learned how to do basic like physical exams and then afterwards we went to time square and then on departure day we had like c times that we had to leave our dorms and we just kind of like cleaned our dorms and then left. >> What was your favorite part? What did you have the
013most fun at? >> Um I think the triage simulation day was pretty fun. And then I liked seeing um New York Medical College's campus. we got to talk to some of the people that work there um and see like the different campuses that they have like the dentistry and um just like what they do around there. >> Your parents >> obviously a serious person. You didn't say games. >> Your parents already have the shirt. So does that mean that you want to go to game? >> Um possibly. parents too >> and the grandparents >> possibly. But >> what do you have in mind for your education plan? >> Um I'm planning to go to WMadison because I like the surgery center that they have there. Um but then like maybe my second choice would be
014Yale. >> Maybe. >> Fantastic. [Applause] Nice job, Calie. >> Awesome. [Applause] Yeah, we have two more. Okay, our next person we would like to recognize is our athletic trainer, Sandy Rob. She maintains the highest level of investment in fulfilling her duties and ensuring the safety of our student athletes through prevention strategies, recognition and assessment of athletic injuries, management of injuries, and followup with student athletes, coaches, and parents. Sandy attends an extensive number of sporting events all school year. Many of you have likely seen her on the football field, volleyball and basketball courts, and soccer fields to name a few. Sandy goes above and beyond her contracted time out of compassion and dedication for the health and well-being of our student athletes. And I'm not sure Sandy is with us tonight, but we sure of And
015our last recognition for the night. This person has gone well above and beyond the call of duty, so to speak. I believe she has sat on nearly every single interview that we have held in our district this year, which has been many. um in an attempt to make sure that we are hiring and able to retain the highest quality staff in our district. She just put on an very exciting um week of teacher orientation where we had a large group of staff leave with them all expressing how wonderful it was to be in the Anigo school district. And that in large was due to Miss Amy Studs and I would like to welcome or thank her for her hard work and everything that she does every day and every night for the Anigo school district.
016Congratulations Amy and thank you. >> Yeah, good job. I I went with Amy to some of those schoolboard or the new school things. And I remember going out to particular place that was out in the boonies and going to be going to be contentious maybe. And I looked at her and I said, "Do you want me to speak first or should I just speak up when it looks like you're stumbling?" And she took it all by herself. and I think I spoke up at the end when somebody asked me a question. So, she was outstanding at every one of those things for being a young new person. I was thoroughly impressed and I think she was a big part of that referendum getting passed. Thank you so much. I want to add to that, Scott,
017and say last Tuesday, I was fortunate enough to be at the all morning session for all of our new staff. And you know, I have seen and communicated and work with Amy, but from a distance. And I actually really got to witness uh her leadership skills and her style of collectively bringing a room together. Uh she's not one just to stand in the front. She moves all around the room and she engages everybody in the room, including those that are on the phrase on the outside uh that may not be part of the room, but they're there. So, she includes them with eye contact. But I even sent Glenda a message right in the middle of that and I said, "Amy is awesome." And I really mean that. You're You done a great job last
018Tuesday. Thank you so much. And all the other team that was with you guys last week. Number two, consent agenda. Approval of agenda, minutes, financial reports, overnight school activity trips, report of district new hires, district retirement and resignation report. I would be looking for a motion, please. >> I move the board approve the agenda. Minutes from the July 21st, 2025 board of education meeting. Minutes from the July 29th, 2025 policy committee meeting. Minutes from the special called board meeting. August 4th, 2025. minutes from August 11th, 2025. HR finance building and grounds and CPT committee meetings. Overnight school activity trips. Financial reports for July 2025 and August 2025. Consideration of current bills checks number 90097 through 9151 in the amount of 307,1601. AC's numbers 25260030 through 2526000098 in the amount of 744,72367 and why your transfers
019in the amount of $793.74 for a total of152,6782. >> Okay. Motion on the floor is made by Bobby. Would you like to speak to your motion? >> No. Thank you. >> Yes, you may. >> I just want to say that this virtual IP IEP writer I I taught special ed for 24 years and that that position would have saved I'd have taught another 10 years. IEPs are hard to write. Even some of the people who have doctorate degrees don't write them right. put that on a teacher. A lot of times I was guessing could have cost the district a lot of money because I didn't write it right. This person will extend our educational staff's professional life and make their job make the IEPs a lot better in my opinion as a former special ed
020teacher. >> Any other discussion or questions of the motion on the floor? Um, >> yes, ma'am. >> This sounds like a very fun job. A a great job. I just don't know what it is. Um, what is an elementary academic booster? >> Sounds great. Just so it's similar to they had an academic booster class at the middle school. So, it will be where the students will go in and they'll dol and then they'll work on some other um digital um resources interventions. >> That sounds >> Yeah. >> Any other questions or comments of the motion on the floor? >> Hearing no questions or comments of the motion on the floor. The voting device is now open. Would anyone like to change their vote? The vote is now closed. And the motion carries. Moving on to
021item three, administration reports. I will turn this portion over to Mrs. Ojinski, our district administrator. Item A, business services. Um, district administrator report is linked and Mrs. Fospender is present if there are any questions. Item B, director of pupil services special education. Miss Wagner is present and her director's report is attached if there are any questions. Item C, director of buildings and grounds report is attached and Mr. Lighterman is present if there are any questions. >> Item D, director of curriculum and instruction report is attached. Miss Dust is present. If there are any questions on her report, director of technology report is attached and Mrs. Mushak is present virtually. if there are any questions. And next is the superintendent report. Um, one of the first things I'm most excited to talk about is that we
022have all of our teaching positions filled. We could still use we could um use another um special education teacher at the middle school. But we are hopeful with hiring this IEP writer that that will help us to attract other um teachers because it's not something that's commonly being done up in northern Wisconsin. So, we're really excited about that. So, that's exciting. Um, and then the first bullet, we're officially kicking off our school year ne uh tomorrow morning with a welcome back. I encourage all of you to attend if you can. It should be um a fun morning. We also have a guest speaker who will follow my um introduction and um she'll get us kicked off for a great new school year. So, I encourage all of you that are able to join us in
023the morning. Breakfast will start at 7:30 with the presentations beginning at 8. Um again on August 12th, Miss Stutrine did an outstanding job with new teacher orientation. Again, our staff are so enthusiastic. It was um very easy to tell that I feel like in the room when we had our meet and greet earlier before the board meeting. So exciting times. Um a special thank you to um Danny Payet for joining us and welcoming our new teachers and to Bobby Braraw for um being our tour guide. She led the bus of new staff through Anigo and told some special traits and characteristics and special things unique to Anigo to help them get more settled and more familiar with the area. And then they spent the afternoon with lunch and the rest of the time at school
024forest getting to check out the trails, do some canoeing and some um cornhole and just mingling with one another. It was a it was a great day. The weather was beautiful and it was it was a great event. Um, on August 12th, we proudly celebrated the groundbreaking of the new John H. Bradley Elementary School. It was truly a monumental moment for our students, staff, and community. The ceremony drew a large crowd, and we were met with an outpouring of positive feedback reflecting the excitement and the pride surrounding this milestone for our community. So, it really was a great event and lots of people showed up. Um, I spent a couple of days with Carla Bubloat working out some sketches around our strategic plan. So, I'm really excited about that work that we're going to be
025um delving into in part of our board retreat. Also, one last thing, I have invited Miss Matt Nelson to share some highlights from a recent meeting that um some of our district administrators and building administrators attended with our local business leaders. So, I will turn the microphone over to Miss Mad Nelson at this time to share out, please. >> Thank you. I appreciate this opportunity. I had reached out to Angie Close, the executive director um of the Ling County Economic Development Corporation and requested her assistance in co-sponsoring um a roundt discussion with local businesses um to discuss how do we align education, our workforce in our community priorities. Um, and so we did s first of all before I I forget a huge thank you and shout out to Angie for all of the work
026that she did in organizing that and running that round table. It's very much appreciated and we look forward to continuing that partnership collectively. Um, I debated how detailed of notes to share, but I think this is a really good opportunity to show the investment as a whole. So, I'm just going to read through um our notes that were sent out to um the business leaders that attended um because I think there's a lot that we can build on and it shows unity in identifying strengths and barriers. So, we met on July 29th and our unified vision is strengthening Langley County through community and school collaboration. Um the key challenges and themes that were identified is first public relations and narrative control. Um it was identified by several that we have a PR issue. Um and
027that PR issue is also experienced and felt by students as well. Um and that has resulted in not just difficulty in recruiting for the district but also businesses have had struggles recruiting for their open positions as well. Um so there was a shared desire to elevate the school to become a community gem. That is our vision that the school highlights what um what our community or the school high is a highlight to our community. The second was gaps in alignment and communication. Um so a lack of formal consistent collaboration between the district, government and businesses. Um there were questions raised and answered about staffing AP courses and CT offerings. program viability uh was discussed to include being at risk with declining enrollment and minimum class sizes and um some employers felt disconnected from the CTE
028direction and career readiness efforts. Third was workforce preparation concerns. So identified needs included students needing improvement or focus on skill development centered on interview skills, teamwork, hands-on experience, and also uh realistic job previews to be worked on or discussed from businesses to share out with students. Um businesses expressed a need for closer connection to what is being taught. And then it was also shared by one large business in town of the need to expand awareness to the job opportunities that are offered. Um so I think that can also be built upon in other businesses as well. The fourth was employer and community engagement gaps. So we identified many opportunities to engage business. We identified that we have opportunities that are underutilized to engage businesses such as the manufacturing alliance and the HR alliance which are
029currently in place so we can strengthen um what's already in place, work smarter not harder that way. Um and then identified shared goals to include controlling the narrative and amplifying the positives about the district and Lang Lake County, preparing students with real world career readiness skills, enhance school business alignment to be to meet both educational and workforce needs, support and retain teachers by making them feel welcome and valued. Establish consistent communication structures and engagement pathways. and maximize existing partnerships and community assets. Again, going back to like the manufacturing alliance and HR alliance. Um, from there we then created a collective action plan, some ongoing engagement opportunities and responsibilities of individual entities and collectively. Um, so the big picture is changing the narrative. The goal of the round table is coming together. We all individually have
030a lot of strengths um within our business, but unfortunately it's not being highlighted as it should. Um to truly reflect the heart of our community and u the assets that we have. So the big picture is changing the narrative and to truly move Langoy County forward. The team determined we must speak with one voice as educators, employers, and government leaders, control our story before others write it for us, elevate and celebrate success often and publicly, and engage consistently, not just reactively. Thank you. Okay, I have one last thing. So, we need to get one quick date on the calendar to do some pre-work before our board retreat. And I would like to know what the most availability is after the 20th, the 20th or to the 5th of September. What would be availability of each
031board? We probably wouldn't need to meet but maybe two hours if that. >> Me those dates again. Pardon me. >> What was the week again? Um, after the 20th. So, the 20 21 or 22, which is Wednesday, Thursday, Friday of this week, the 25th through the 29th, which is all next week, and then the 3rd, 4th, or 5th of September. I'm free for anything except for the 22nd. Friday the 22nd. >> Can't do the 27, >> right? >> I can't either because I'll be out of >> What was the week of the 25th again? The dates. >> The week of the 22nd. >> 25th. >> Oh, the 25th. Any of those dates. 25 through 29th. >> Any of those days is good. >> The 28th is nice. >> The 27th and 28th won't work because
032we have open house. >> Okay. 26. >> 26th. >> 6:00 on the 28th. >> That's the best day for me. 6 o'clock on the 26th. >> Does that work for everyone? >> That's early. I can get your six. >> 26 at 6. >> Okay. Does that work for everybody? Perfect. Thank you all. >> Can send out an invite to everybody? >> Yes, Diana will send that out. >> Um, we will do that at Boen, too. >> Would it potentially be a better option to do that one in town just >> not to have to travel to NO? Okay, we can. >> I just simply thinking time management and ability to get there by six. >> Yeah, I'll practice that'd be good for me. >> Okay, >> Here. Yep, we'll do it here. >> Be looking
033for an invite from DA >> board members >> for the 26th. >> Okay. Item four, board action, letter A, consideration to approve the AGR spring data. I would be looking for a motion. >> I move to approve the AGR spring data as presented. >> Motion has been made by Kristen. Would you like to speak to your motion? This came through committee. It's a requirement um for our for that program. >> Are there any questions or comments to the motion on the floor? >> Just that this now the test changed. So this year we'll have better comparisons, right? >> Um well this is AGR so the benchmark assessments have changed for meeting the objectives. Um and then the um percentiles did change. Um, so yes, we possibly will, but we're still planning to set the bar
034a little higher for our students so that they're performing well and making sure it's in comparison with a forward exam so they're fully prepared for that. >> Good question. >> Ask Amy to just speak more directly on that. I think that's an important piece to point out >> because there's there's a lot of confusion around this testing. >> Yeah. And what that what it means. So we also speak to the changes with the school report card that there will be changes with that also. >> Yeah. So um we used FastBridge consistently for the last couple years due to act 20. We changed to Ames Web for our elementary only this past year just around literacy just so we could try it out and make sure that we were um compliant to what they were asking
035us through the state of Wisconsin. >> So you you get to pick are there a cadre of tests you get to pick from or >> No. So some states did allow people to pick from certain um choices. Wisconsin decided to just go with Pearson which is Ames Webb Plus as our test. We only have to do it for kindergarten through third grade for act 20, but it's really hard in a district to just do one test for kindergarten through third grade for literacy and another assessment and then try to compare the data. So what we decided to do for this upcoming school year is move everyone to Ames web plus as their screener. So we'll still do it just like we did with FastBridge. We'll do a fall, a winter, and spring. We'll look at
036growth. We'll use that data to determine win win win groups to make sure we're uh providing interventions or enrichment for students to make sure that we're always progressing their skills. Everything else will stay the same. The screener is just what we changed here in Anigo and a lot of districts around the state just because of act 20. So we're no longer going to do fastbridge. So when you look at the AGR reports, you'll notice in fall of 2024 it's fastbridge results. And then spring for ELA it's Ames web but still Fastbridge for math. And then spring we have Ames Web for ELA and still Fastbridge for math. So this next year, this was kind of a transition year, we're going to move to Ames web for everything, literacy and math. Um, >> and when you
037read that report, Amy, there's a F A. Could you tell people what that is? >> An FA. >> Full. >> Oh, the full academic year. So students who are here for the full academic year, they do that for the forward as well. >> Yep. Um, so with Ames Web now, we took that in winter and spring of this year. So when the data that's on there and the data that we presented to the school board was accurate data um because we always want to make sure we know where we are now that Ames web it's it's been several years so I looked up after our committee meeting so the last time they actually updated the norms was 2016 and our student performance has shifted since then so norms had to be updated um changes in
038expectations instruction demographics outside factors all com like contribute to why students perform differently now um they hadn't done any updates since 2016. So, they finally, I'm not sure why they waited to this year to do it, but they did. Um, so just over summer, they updated their norms and they're going to sh that'll shift to reflect how our students are performing nationally today. So, what I want to uplift to the board and to the community, I don't ever want to present data that makes us look one way or the other, like I could make data look really good, right? I could also make data look really bad. Um, but I'm I don't know. We're an honest team and I want to know where we are because if we don't like um be honest about where
039we are, we can't make any progress. So, what it's going to look like, we're anticipating is that our scores from spring of last year and when we retest in fall with these new norms, if I put them side by side to each other, it may look like like, hey, we had a lot of students who were on reading plans, but suddenly in fall a lot of kids didn't need reading plans. Well, because the the cut scores have changed, it's going to look we can't compare last year's to this year. So, I want to make sure that's very clear because if I was a board member or community member, I put them side by side. It could look like suddenly Anigo is doing a lot better than what we are. We are on the right path.
040We are growing, but I always like to be very accurate about what I present to the board and to the community to make sure that there's no question around what data we're talking about. >> You're on the side of caution. >> Yeah. And I don't want it to look because I could say like, "Oh gosh, we're all on the right path, but then we still have students who are struggling readers." So when we look at the data in fall when I bring that back after we do our screener, we're going to look at that, but we're also going to still keep that like 40th to 50th percentile. As a district and as educators, we know that that is where you are no longer at risk around reading instruction. It doesn't mean you're a super wonderful
041reader yet, but we know we can kind of track. If you're on track of that 40th and 50th percentile, you're on track to continue doing well. If you're below that, then then we have some struggles. What the state is saying is they want to take the 25th percentile and below, which is great because those are the kids that need more intensive intervention, but we still have this middle group that we don't want to forget about, right? We're still struggling with we're still emergent readers. We're still missing some skills. Um, and we still need to make sure we're keeping a thumb on on how they're doing as we progress. So, I just wanted to make sure I uplifted that. So, when I do bring back the data in fall, I'll kind of talk about that again
042around why the data looks the way it does. Um, I'm anticipating because what I shared in committee is our students leaving kindergarten. We had prepped them for the goal of first grade in the fall to read 18 words per minute. We were like, kindergarten teachers, this is your goal. As you end in May, you want to make sure they can do 18. So when they come back, they're not on a reading plan. Over the summer, that has changed to five words. So our students who were on reading plans that maybe didn't read the 18 yet now can come back and read more than five, they won't be on a reading plan, which makes us as educators feel really great. But when you look at data, you have to make sure it's not about emotion, that
043it's about actual fact. And yes, you're off a reading plan, but I don't want any student to sit at the 26th percentile that you're not you're not doing as good as you need to be doing. Um, so we just have to be very clear about that with our teachers and I think they're um really on board to look at data in a really great way and just to make sure that we're presenting it to the community in the right way. Okay. State report card um have changed and made some shifts as well. When I present the state report card in hopefully October, November um that I'll bring and highlight, they did some changes. They had a group of educators get together and making sure that they're um asking questions on the forward test that have
044a deep depth of knowledge. Um they walk through a lot of different testing questions to make sure they're not only ethical but um equitable for students. Uh the example I always give is I taught fifth grade and my students were um inner city students. So they didn't have a lot of understanding around farming and one of the perimeter questions was around farming. So when they got to it they didn't know any of the vocab words. They were like what's that? What is that machine? Like they knew how to find perimeter but with the context of the question. So they actually have educators come from all over parts of the state and sit down and look at the questions and go through them and make sure that one we're providing high quality questions to our students
045in Wisconsin, but also that we're making sure that any student has access to show their best knowledge. Um so with that comes a little change around the state report card and I'll be reporting that in November then when the state report cards comes out and as we inch towards number one in the state. >> Absolutely. So I'm just going to cl point out again because that this stood out in committee and I think just layman's terms for the community and parents to hear is students entering first grade this fall. Previously the expectation was 18 words per minute. Now since the norm changed it has reduced to five words per minute and they also like are connecting it. In spring it was just fluency. How many words per minute? Now they're doing more of a composite
046score around it so that it's not just fluency but it's composite around some of their um nonsense words that we've talked about with FastBridge. That wasn't even a part of Ames Webb. And I think as the state um kind of grows their ACT 20 work they noticed like hey if our students don't have nonsense words their fluency isn't as good. So now they're trying to do it more as a composite score. >> Thank you. >> Yep. Any other questions? And may I just say one more thing? I just want to say thank you for the recognition. I also want to recognize that Donna Kger and Jamie Rei did a lot to help with the new teacher orientation. It was not just me. So, um, definitely a team effort. >> Thank you. >> Are there any

Are there any questions or discussion of the motion on the floor? When you read through that, the the green stuff is new and the stuff botted out obviously is gone. >> Just making sure I was doing that. >> So during the the one thing I'll bring up is during our discussion, we did talk about um one policy that we discussed bringing back to finance committee um about our 10% of our fund 10 balance. Um we left it as it is for now but the and Katherine is our finance committee lead. I something that we may want to bring up to her
054to look at it whether she wants to bring that to committee. Um but it in my opinion it's fine to move forward at this time but we may want to gather more information and look at it at that finance committee. I'll say to it that that gets put on the uh HR finance committee meeting. >> Do believe it's policy 6235. >> Right. And the target fund balance was 10%. We just wanted to verify if we were all in agreement on that percentage. >> Okay. We'll have that committee to look at that in the September meeting and then bring it back their report back for the second um >> for the second reading >> vote of their second reading.

Would you like to speak to your motion? >> Um, it's just same as always. And um, yeah, I'd like to say a shout out to Sandy because I think she's near the end of her career and she's going to be hard to replace. I was on the I was a young coach teacher when she started and the biggest fear we had of having a female trainer was that she was going to pull guys out of games when they didn't need to be put in when they didn't need to be pulled. Sandy has been more than I think
058she's there's times when I thought maybe they should be pulled. So Sandy has not been in the way at all. She's been awesome and we're going to miss her when she's gone. Yes, I did. >> Thank you, Jill. >> I did um ask Sandy earlier today. Um she will be starting her 31st year in the district and she started in the fall of 1994. Um I will say this every year, my sincere appreciation to Sandy, she goes above and beyond um as shared in this in the recognition from Miss Ojinski. um well beyond it and any student athlete or or spectator for that matter that that enjoys um supporting our student athletes will see her on the sidelines all of the time. She's a mother. She works full-time um and you would never know it
059because she she goes above and beyond to be here and also her professional and personal life duties. So, thank you Sandy 31 years. very excited um and appreciative to to have that contract and with her as a provider. >> As a former bus driver for all of those field sports trips, Sandy was usually on the bus most of the time. A few times she would drive, but most of the time she's right on the bus with all the players as well. She does a great job. >> And what people don't understand about that job is there's a ton of downtime where you're you're kind of just a spectator. a lot of long boring hours that she has weathered and um I just can't express my appreciation enough for the time she's put in because it's
060not easy. It's not glory. Any other questions or discussion of the motion on the floor hearing? No questions or discussion. The voting device is now open. Would anyone like to change their vote?

It's the right thing. >> Okay. Any other questions or comments of the motion on the floor? I was
061in the audience for the committee meeting on this one and that I'll just reflect the same thing that the committee was very straightforward that this time was earned um and it's the right decision. So um there was no um opposition to that discussion. >> Any other questions or comments of the motion on the floor hearing? None. The voting device is now open. Would anyone like to change their vote? The vote is now closed. And the motion carries. Letter K. Consideration to approve the school board wages for 2025 2026. I will be looking for a motion, please. >> Uh, Mr. Patt, I'm going to make this motion. Uh, but I'm just going to say to the to the board, you may want to get ready to do some writing because it's a very long motion. Do
062you have that motion by chance in written form? I have given it to Deanna and I have it to read. Thank you so much. I didn't make more copies. I'm sorry. >> That's okay. So I make the motion to approve the following pay for the school board members of the unified district of Anago as of July 1, 20125. The regular board meeting, that's once per month, $125. Other meetings, $75. Board retreats, $200. In addition, the following board officers will receive an additional pay per meeting of president $25, vice president, clerk, and treasurer $15 extra dollars. Payments will be made quarterly and mileage will be paid for out of town meetings and conventions. Okay, board members, uh Jake is making copies of that motion. if we can just pause for just a couple of seconds until
063he comes back and that'll give you an opportunity to look at that motion and then I'll let Dr. Bard speak to his motion. >> Did you say Jake? You can pass those out. Thank you. >> Thank you. Just to be clear, this is not >> We'll wait just one moment. Dr. Bardau's got to speak to his motion first. >> Okay. Okay, now that all the board members have a copy of the motion, Diana, you've got a copy of the motion. Uh, Dr. Bartle, you can speak to your motion and then board members, hold your questions and I'll call on you. Okay. Okay. What came to the committee was basically $300 per month. And it was uh listed as uh basically uh at that time $180 for the regular meeting and $120 for the committee meeting,
064which is talking the second and the third Mondays. Um and what after I thought about it in the past week was there's a lot of other meetings. Uh Scott has a meeting with the uh CISA. Uh we have expulsions. We have uh special meetings that are called for and to just have pay for those two meetings. The question then would become would we be able to get forums for some of those meetings. So, uh, when I was checking, uh, county board members get basically $300 a month, which is what was being presented to us. Uh, so I don't This has been changed since the early 1990s or late 1980s. A board member gets $20 for coming to this meeting currently. Currently, um the board president gets $75. The uh other officers get 50 for their
065meetings. and at the present time we get mileage. Um, so anyway, I was looking at a way that it would end up close to the $300 that the county gets, but at the same time trying to make it so that some months we only have two meetings, but there's sometimes when expulsions come, we might have four meetings. Um, so I think in the long run it'll even out. Uh, Currently, our officers get more money than regular board members, and that's been the way it's always been. So, that's why I uh put in that into this motion. So, I I know this is the one that's probably going to take the longest tonight. Uh but I tried to come up with a plan that would probably in the long run hit that 3600 per year. and
066uh which was where Mrs. Ojinski wanted to take it and uh so this is what I worked on uh past week. >> Okay, Abby, since you were first and out of the gate wanting to speak to this, I'll let you start with your questions or discussion. >> I'm I guess I'm just confused why we have why Dr. O is able to present a different >> um >> different motion. >> Yeah, different motion. >> Motions that are printed on your screen in front of you are recommended actions from administration, but any board member at any time can make their own motion. >> Oh, >> so right now this is the motion that we'll be voting on unless somebody would like to amend this motion. >> And does that have to get approved before the meeting? the
067uh >> a motion that's no >> you can come with your own motions to any uh item that's up for our action. >> So you can come with any addendum uh >> amendments. Yes. Amendments. >> Yeah. Or if you like Dr. Bardau spoke and was making the main motion on the floor. You don't have to read what's in front of you. You can choose to make your own. But if you come with amendment once somebody makes the motion then you can amend the motion that's on the floor. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Great questions. Thank you. >> Should I Should I wait? >> No, you can go ahead. >> So, I um can I speak in favor of >> in favor of? >> Oh, the first one. >> Negative. The first one is no longer
068an item up for discussion. This is what we have to discuss at the moment. So, you can speak in favor of or opposed to what's on the floor. >> Okay. I don't think that I fit in that yet. You you can just discuss what's on the floor, too. >> Say what's on your mind. You can say what's on your mind. >> Abby, you have the right you you have the right to say I like the the motion that was brought out of committee. And that tells everybody that that's what you think should happen. This is just an alternative. >> Okay. I liked the motion that was brought to the committee because I feel >> now I have to hold you right there. We can't discuss that. Say why. You can say that you liked it,
069but you can't say why. Yeah. Thank you. >> Say what you don't like about this one, though. That would be It's I don't dislike it. I just like the other one. Okay. >> Any other questions or discussion of the motion that's on the floor? >> I would like to amend the motion. >> Okay. Bobby, what would you like to amend in the motion? >> So, I would make the motion to approve the Board of Education salary adjustments as originally presented. >> Unfortunately, that's you. We can't do that. You have to amend this motion that's on the table. >> So, you have to change the verbage or >> then I'll withdraw my amendment and just I would vote no. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> Any other questions or discussion of the motion on the floor?
070J, >> I'm not the numbers guy. So when I just throw this out there, day of 12 regular board meetings a year, other meetings, committee meetings, 11. We typically don't have committee meetings in July. >> Correct. >> And then board retreats times three for this year. Typically it's >> for this year. Correct. >> It's 2925. Correct. So, we're spending less money under this plan. >> Well, it doesn't account for >> projected >> the extra meetings. >> Yeah, I guess I'm not here for the >> It's kind of embarrassing to even talk about it. I guess we're not here for the money, obviously, everybody. >> So, let me So, if we think we want to spend that much, I don't I'm for either one. Let me piggy back on. >> Well, I guess I would speak
071in favor of the one where we possibly would spend less, >> Which is on the floor. Correct. Let me piggyback on on Jill and and just say that if this is spending less and it does not match what Abby would like to see, which was what was presented at the committee and we are concerned about the 36 that was presented. Uh what was not taken in consideration in 36 is the number of extra meetings. And I believe that's the the intent and please correct me if I'm wrong. What I'm hearing is this could be the intent of trying to rectify because we could have who knows how many extra meetings along the way for the year >> extra. >> Does that make sense what I what I just said? So just to give some direction
072if this board at this point is looking at the previous I got to be very careful here. the previous that came out of committee motion that came out of committee and you would like to see all of the meetings being compensated, then you would vote no for this motion and amend or make another motion for what you would like. Does that make sense to everybody or did I just muddy the water? >> No, I understood. Thank you. Is there any other discussion of the motion that is on the floor? I really want to give time. I don't want to make you decide quickly. >> This took out mileage also. >> That was uh The mileage thing was uh came from our board attorney. It took out the the local mileage with the exception of conventions
073and meetings that are out of town. >> So, for example, every year for new board members, we go to Marathon City for a meeting. Mileage is paid for that. Okay. Are you ready to vote? Dustin, you have this motion ready? Okay. So, the motion on the floor is what Dr. Bardau uh read to us and you have it printed out in front of you and Diana has it part of the record for the meeting minutes tonight. The voting device is now open. If you are in favor of this motion, the vote is yes. If you are opposed to this motion, then the vote is no. Annie, can I say one more thing? >> Yes, you may. >> Um, because Jill asked me about the math. Um, the math is such that we would have to
074have nine extra meetings during the year. Um, that's including three board retreats and then we'd have to have n extra meetings to bring us to 3600. >> So, it's probably a toss up. >> Okay. Before we vote, I do want to say one more thing about Robert's rules here. Parliamentary procedure. If this is voted no and it passes, we move on to the next item. We don't offer another amendment or another motion to this. However, a board member can bring this back to the committee, the HR committee and finance committee for next month and it could be discussed again. >> And how does one do that? >> Even if we even if we vote if it's yes, if it goes yes, somebody can still bring it back to the committee. >> Yes, you can bring
075it back to the committee and have it revisited. Yes. >> It has to be someone who voted. It has to be somebody who voted in the affirmative. Yes. >> Can't be someone who voted. >> And if somebody who voted no wants to bring it back, they have to ask. >> Correct. >> So we we do not go back to the original motion. >> No, we do not because this is not a substitutionary motion. This is the main motion on the floor. It just gets dropped and we move on. And how does one get it back get it on the committee? Right after the vote is taken, you say, "I would like to add this to the committee for HR and finance for next month and discuss this further." And that can be put on the
076committee. >> Can amen an amendment be made that says I move the board drop this this this and go back? >> No. Unfortunately, the amendment cannot change the motion of the of that's on the floor. The amendment can change some verbiage. We can't change the total nature of the motion. >> So if this motion on the floor is voted no, >> we move on to letter L >> and it goes back to committee. >> It can if somebody requests it to go back to committee. >> Okay. >> How do we get it to substitute a substitute amendment at this point? >> Um because if that was the case then there could be a motion on the floor every single time and it could never be Maybe it would never be what was originally suggested >>
077or what came out of committee. >> Okay. >> Or what came out of committee. Correct. >> Okay. So to move this to a substitutionary motion uh we it can do that. We can have a substitutionary motion which will change it entirely or we can um commit this motion back to the committee the way that it is and it can be dealt with in committee. So you can either do a have a substitutionary motion >> or b commit this back to a committee. So, a substitutionary motion >> could change everything, >> replaces this. >> Could Yes. >> I will make a motion for a substitary substit >> substitutionary motion. >> Okay. >> And would the member state the substitutionary motion? >> I will. I move the board of education to approve the updated board salary adjustments
078as presented originally. >> And that substitutionary motion would be Can you read that that motion from what was presented, Bobby? Just so the public can hear that. a motion to move to the full board of education to approve the updated board salary adjustment as presented >> and the the recommend the ration now under the TSS sheet that recommended action. >> Okay. The recommended salary is $3,600 per year payable in either two installments of $1,800 once each semester or monthly payments of 300. >> This rate covers particip participation in both committee meetings and board meetings. for months and only a board meeting is attended, then the compensation would be 150. >> Okay. So, the substitutionary motion on the floor right now is the recommended salary is $3,600 per year payable in either two installments of $1,800
079once each semester or in monthly payments of $300. This rate covers participation in both committee and board meetings. For months in which only a board meeting is attended, the compensation would be $150. Clarity needs to be made to this substitutionary motion because you're given a choice of either two installments once each semester or in monthly payments. Which do you prefer? >> I would ask again to change that to quarterly or $900 quarterly. >> Thank you. The recommended salary is $3,600 per year payable in quarterly payments of $900 per quarter. >> Yes. >> Is that what you want? >> Yes. >> Substitutionary motion is on the floor. Bobby, would you like to speak to your substitutionary motion? >> I just feel that um for the sake of a few dollars, this shaking out to probably be
080the same amount. It is a whole lot simpler for um payroll purposes to issue a quarterly payment and not have to mess around with tracking every single thing and where they're at and if they attended or how many meetings per month they attended. That gets to be um a nightmare. So, I I just feel that the recommended salary of 3,600 per year is comparable with other district boards and um it simplifies the process. >> Okay, Dr. Mart, >> if Dustin can he needs to erase the votes that were up there for the original motion >> or do we ask or can you just say recast your votes? >> We started to vote and then there was a Uh Dave. >> Yeah. >> Can you erase that, please? >> Thanks, Dr. Burl. >> Any other questions
081or comments of the substitutionary motion that's on the floor? I think that Miss Ojinski or and or whoever helped her with this did a lot of research about the um comparing of the neighboring districts and just thought it was really well thought out and made sense. >> Thank you, Jill. My comment would be um it's this is I think for all of us a really uncomfortable board action item because none of us are here for the money and for less than $4,000 a year. Um I will comment just for awareness of the amount of time dedicated by board members. We have three board retreats each scheduled for three hours a piece. Correct. So nine hours in board retreats that we we will not be paid a scent for our time in that. Um there are
082meetings to review agenda items. There are meetings such as the the co-sponsored um meeting with economic development like a host of things. There's a lot of time that we as board members, I'll speak to myself personally because I don't want to speak for other people, but I take vacation time um or have to count my time creatively to make it all happen. So, I know that there are some that will think that this is too high and I guess I'm just recognizing that we're not here for the money. There's a lot of we're losing money. It's donated time. Um and I appreciate that there has been an adjustment brought forth um in a review because it hasn't been considerable amount of time. >> Thank you, Jill. Any other questions or comments? Kristen, >> can I
083amend the motion? >> You may amend the motion. >> I would like to take the last sentence out so that it's not um for months in which only a board meeting is attended, the compensation would be $150. So, it's just an outright flat 3600 paid quarterly. >> Okay. So that last statement, the last sentence >> would be removed stricken. >> Yeah. I I guess I don't think anybody skips a meeting on purpose. >> Yeah. Kristen, would you like to speak to that? >> I just >> come back to you. >> Actually, I can can I can I backpedal? >> It's your motion. >> Okay. I would like to amend the motion to state the recommended salary is $2,400 per year payable in quarterly installments of $600 per quarter. This rate covers participation in both committee
084and board meetings. Period. >> Sure. The recommended salary is $2,400 per year payable in quarterly installments of $600. This rate covers participation in both committee and board meetings. Okay, >> Diana, you have that >> amendment to the substitutionary motion. >> Please help me keep this all together. Okay. >> You did say recommended salary, right? Salary. >> Okay. So, the amended motion. >> Can you use the mic, please? >> The amended substitutionary motion reads. The amended substitutionary motion reads is I recommend the salary is the recommended salary is $2400 payable for I'm sorry $2,400 per year payable $600 per quarter for both board and committee meetings. >> Is that what you're >> Okay. So now we need to direct all of our comments to the amendment to the substitutionary motion of the motion on the floor.
085Kristen, you get to first explain your amendment. >> I think that $3600 um is a lot of money and like we've all said, we're not here for the money. Um, it's nice to get recognized, you know, that we're here doing that and and we don't have many people on the ticket going forward. So, I think there needs to be some sort of repayment for our time here. Um, but when I break it down to hours spent and think of an hourly wage, I feel like $3,600 is too much for that. >> Okay. want to open the floor up for discussion. Remember, you are discuss discussing the amendment to the substitutionary motion of the motion on The floor is now open for discussion. Scott, I think you wanted to speak first if you want to. I
086I guess I'm good with whatever you pay me. Okay. You paid me what I was worth, I'd be broke. That is not true. >> If this Abby is this I don't I don't know if I can ask a question right now. If this Kristen's amendment passes then we go back to >> then it becomes the substitutionary motion and then it has to be voted on again. >> Okay. >> Then it becomes the main motion and then it's got to be voted on again. >> Dr. Barto is gone. Yeah. >> Got it. >> Dr. Bartles is the main motion. >> Got it. And then Bobby's is a substitutionary motion. And now we have the amendment layered on top of that. >> So we're voting on the amendment. >> We're voting on the amendment. >> Yes. >>
087Any other questions or discussion? Okay. Dustin, have you fixed? >> You got it. All right. He's got it. That that'll be gone in just a moment. gone. All right. This is the voting of the amendment to the substitutionary motion of the motion. >> What a night to be learning. >> I know a lot of parliamentary stuff. >> Good. Okay. The voting device is now open. You are voting on the amendment of the substitutionary motion of the main motion on the floor. Would anyone like to change their vote? All right, the vote is now closed. >> One, two, three. So, the motion, the amendment fails. Uh, am I reading that right, Kristen? >> That is correct. >> Four to three. The amendment fails. Now we bring back the substitutionary motion. Substitution. Oh, before you close that,
088make sure Diana gets. Now we are back to the substitutionary motion of the recommended salary is $3,600 per year payable in quarterly payments of $900 per quarter. This rate covers participation in both committee and board meetings. Period. Any other questions or discussion of that substitutionary motion? Hearing no questions or discussion. Dustin, are you ready for that substitutionary motion? The voting device is now open. Would anyone like to change their vote? The vote is now closed. And the motion carries with one, two, six to one. So the motion carries. That's the substitutionary motion. One more time. That now becomes the main motion on the floor. The main motion on the floor is the recommended salary is $3600 per year payable in quarterly payments of $900. This >> this rate covers participation in both committee and board
089meetings. Any questions or discussion of this main motion on the floor? >> It still includes the last sentence, so it have to be amended. >> I thought Bobby took that out of her motion. >> Did you take that out of your motion? >> Yes.

Consideration to approve the donation for naming rights on the potential new football stadium. I will be looking for a motion,
090please. >> I move to approve the grid iron club to seek donations for the potential new football field stadium in exchange for naming rights as presented. >> Motion has been made by Jill. Would you like to speak to your motion? >> I appreciate the great iron club sticking with us through this meeting to get to this point. Um, and I'm excited for uh I'm voting in favor of this to allow them to move forward. Um, it was brought to committee. I was in the audience. So, anybody would like to speak to that otherwise I think it's pretty >> any questions or discussion for the great iron club or Jake Dr. O >> that was in our committee and basically it's no matter what happens and we hope they get people that will donate to this
091new facility but it still comes back to this board to decide yes or no on the name. Correct. Any other questions or discussion of the motion on the floor? Hearing none. The voting device is now open. Can I comment? >> I'm sorry. The vote is now started. >> Sorry. >> Would anyone like to change their vote? The vote is now closed and the motion carries. Scott, I'll let you comment. I I just want to say that the naming rights thing has been discussed with some people from that have helped us through the process and there is a process for naming rights. It's not the head of the grid iron club isn't going to promise somebody naming rights. There is an outline determining how the naming rights are going to be determined. So there has there
092is we have a committee that has been formed point of beginning they help us on that part they helped us they've done this before so there is a process for naming rights that will come to the board but there's a process the committee has to direct people towards the board that's all I'm saying >> thank you Scott for clarifying that for the community >> because I what happened last time isn't going to happen it's all I want to say >> letter Consideration to approve the balcony renovations for gymnastics and wrestling. I will be looking for a motion. >> I move to approve the removal of the balcony bleachers and close the openings as presented. >> Motion has been made by Abby. Would you like to speak to your motion? >> I just think that they're
093like Jake said, they're just there and nobody really uses them and you have two sports teams up there. Just makes sense. >> Any other questions or discussion of the motion on the floor? I'm just curious what's going to happen with those bleacher um that equip the units themselves. >> They're the same uh brand and vintage is all the uh bleacher sections on the main gym floor. >> Okay. >> So, we'll keep key parts of them to use for for repairs. Um >> that's about it. >> Okay. >> So, they're the wooden slide in >> Yeah. Historically, we made new boards every year to replace damaged boards and stuff like that. So, we'll we'll put the parts to use for sure. >> I was just curious as to what you were going to do with >>
094Thank you, >> Dr. Bardo. Uh last year, Jill and I met with the uh coach of the girls gymnastic team up where they practice. And to be honest, I'm amazed that girls aren't getting hurt. uh for the is it the pommel horse? I don't know if it's still called that >> table, but that's what you can call it. >> The vault. Thank you. >> Well, it used to be a horse. Yeah. >> Back in my day. Anyway, they couldn't even run the distance that they would normally do at a meet because there was not enough space. They they and they had all the cushions up against the bleachers. So hopefully nobody went over the top because it would be a long fall. And the even where the uh for the parallel bars, it was just
095everything was on top of everything. And it I mean personally I wish there was a way that we could have a room in a new building that was just gymnastics. And I think that was the plan when we were looking at that grant. Um but they deserve that. They deserve their own space and the boys deserve a wrestling room. That's the entire area of that on top. And uh anyway, we need to approve this because for especially for safety reasons. >> Kristen, >> two questions. We're not going to close it off completely. Correct. >> No, we cannot close it completely because there's a a hoist system that we use to lower equipment for both wrestling and gymnastics. >> And it's Do you think it's going to still be hotter than heck up there or is
096it going to be hotter? It will. Well, >> it's hot up there. >> I'm gonna I'm gonna answer two ways. The the HVAC system that we currently have is very in need of replacement. Once that is replaced, it will be way better. Until that gets replaced, having those areas separated will actually help because there's an air handler that feeds just that balcony and there's an air handler that feeds just the gyms. And the less air that you can mix in those systems, the better job that air handler can do to condition that up top. So, it will be a slight improvement, but then once we get everything replaced, it will be much much better. >> So, is this overall an improvement to the high school? >> Yes, >> that would be considered referendum dollars >>
097because it's an upgrade to our school. >> I would think we could use referendum dollars to close this in. Yes. >> Okay. Thank you, >> Jill. Did you have questions? I just >> discussion >> would like to share that this has been a lot of discussions over the past year about um with Jake and with Tom Scoffield um because there's a lot of factors that go into it and making sure it's an objective well thoughtout decision or recommendation to come to the board. Um and I share my appreciation to Jake to be very fiscally responsible to ensure that we have exhausted all possible thoughts um before making a decision because the bleachers in are in really good shape. They're very expensive to replace um once we take them out. Are we going to regret it
098in three years, 5 years, 10 years? Um so I think that I feel very confident that we've collectively thought out all the scenarios. Um we've looked at the data uh what the bleachers provide for opportunities, the lack and our district not utilizing those opportunities for revenue and also we can host um WA events but then the cost post also goes up. So, what you're actually making isn't much if anything. Um, so it's just very well thought out. And at the end of the day, the high school girls gymnastics team or the gymnastics program as a whole, the floor um springboards and the full floor can't even be out in full. And the vault runway is not currently an even surface. Um, so it's not just about what they deserve to have because the football should
099have a 100 yards field to practice on and you give all those examples. But it's also an accessibility and safety thing too with the location of the elevator. Um just the nature of that program, the amount of equipment that they need, the cables in the ground to secure it in the ground, all of the things. So I would definitely say it's an improvement especially for the safety standpoint and hopefully the heating and cooling as well. >> Good. Any other questions? Abby, >> I will be voting yes. Um, but I just would ask that the wrestling club, Joe Pregger, the president, be involved in all communications since they occupy half of the balcony. >> I know they have already. >> Yep. I will update y'all tomorrow. >> Any other questions or comments of the discussion of
100the motion on the floor? Okay, hearing none, the voting device is now open. Would anyone like to change their vote? >> Vote is now closed and the motion carries.

Correct. >> Kesha is available. Kesha, did you hear Miss Mad Nelson's question around the cost? >> What' you see? It was it is less than last year. >> I want to point that
104out because our IT director does a wonderful job of shopping around and negotiating um and routinely brings us items that have are less this year than last year. Um and we all know that the cost of goods and services only goes up. So I'm acknowledging that um not just for this but the past ones too, but the cost for this request is lower than previous years. And um there's intentional review of what cameras are needed or not needed to pay for that um as well. >> Correct. >> Any other questions or discussion of the motion on the floor? >> Hearing none, the voting device is now open.
