They regular thank the umpires, hold the door for others during away games, and crush it in the classroom with a 3.5 team GPA. They're heading into fields like healthcare, the trades, and business. And they stole the show at Wednesday's awards ceremony. On behalf of the team, we want to thank the school members and everyone here tonight for your comp for your continued support of athletics.

Um after the walk, the seniors will walk through a graduation practice and then have a thank you signing session for our scholarships. Um and then graduation is Sunday, May 25th, and the ceremony starts at 2 p.m. Um during the last senior class meeting, the Indie Police Department did a

Um, scholarship night, the senior class had been awarded over 400,000 in scholarships and grants. They there was a wonderful presentation during scholarship night with several community members presenting scholarships. Um, for the National Honor Society, they had their ceremony welcoming their new members on May 4th with a dessert bar. They welcomed eight new members and Greta Stowe is the new newest member and the president. Um and then the FFA banquet was held on Sunday, May 18th. Five state degrees were given to four seniors and one junior. Four seniors received their FFA chords. Discovery and Greenhand awards were given out and the honorary FFA member, Mr. Kor, was announced today during our assembly. Um, and then
006the new FFA leaders were announced and then that's it. All right. Does anybody have any questions or comments for Gracie? I do want to mention to the board if you are planning to be here Sunday for graduation, please let the administration know uh so your spot can be reserved on the platform for handing out the diplomas. Okay, Gracie, thank you very much for that report. Great job. Uh letter B video presentation students speaking about Zello learning.

All right, Miss Moore, would you uh be sure to thank Miss Derline for that presentation and those kids? They did a great job. Thank you so much. Okay, moving on to letter C. We have some people that we would like to recognize tonight. Okay. Up first, we would like to recognize Miss Amanda Moore, Miss Angie Shriber, and Miss Alicia Rash for the work that they um presented for the sextorion presentation for our community and our middle school and high school. They worked to gather donations from the community to make sure
009that for the community presentation. We had food. We had babysitting available so that all of our community members had the opportunity to come in and learn more around sextortion. And um the national honor students also came in and helped work. We had Jordan May from um his father John from um Marquette, Michigan come and did a lot of presenting. He is, for those of you that are unaware, his son was a victim of sextorion and took his own life. And um it was very moving and very very informational and educational to our community. And I really hope for those people that weren't able to join us that night that people took time to watch the video on Facebook to learn more about it. There just isn't enough that we can do to keep our children
010safe. So, I would like to recognize the three of these ladies for their hard work and dedication to making sure that this happened. So, Alicia, Amanda, and Angie Shriber, please come forward. [Applause] I just wanted to tell everybody that really well engaging the high school and then also it's important to know that we had to come up to talk about their experiences with So it's important. Yeah, just to reiterate the importance and um in total we were able to have just over a thousand students here this um from May as well as freedom. Um, and interestingly enough, I the following day had a student no more than two hours after school got out that day, she had started receiving some Snapchat and she was able to identify that. So, I was really proud of her
011and she came to talk to me on how to move forward. I mean, if we could just I'm like, I'm grateful for it. [Applause] No problem. Okay. And up next, we would like to recognize three educators at the high school for the incredible way they stepped up during recent staffing changes. Each of these staff took on an additional grading, planning, and course responsibility. And they did so with a positive attitude and a deep commitment to supporting our students. What stands out most is their unwavering team first mindset. They didn't just fill in the gaps, they leaned in with care, collaboration, and professionalism. They consistently put students at the center of their work, ensuring learning continued smoothly and that every student felt supported even during times of transition. Their dedication, flexibility, and willingness to go above
012and beyond are what make this team so special. Thank you for modeling what it means to be student centered, solutionoriented, and deeply committed to our school community. Please come forward, Mr. Mike Waniger, Mr. Dennis Duk and Mr. Mike [Applause] Blood. Got to have a picture. Okay, up next we have a student we would like to recognize, Brian Kazaric. Brian began playing the trumpet seven years ago and enjoyed participating in the Anigo High School marching band. In 2022, he took part in the Roseb parade in Pasadena, California with the historic Northwoods marching band. Since 2020, Brian has also played with the Anigo Community Band, performing on the trumpet, French horn, and most recently the tuba. With the help and encouragement of Miss Molina, Brian was invited to attend the W Whitewater band camp in 2022. It
013was during this camp that he decided to try the French horn and fell in love with the instrument. He auditioned for WSMA High School Honors Orchestra in 24 and 25 and was selected for both years. Additionally, in February, Brian earned the highest rating for his solo ensemble, which advanced him to the state level in May for his performance on the horn. At the end of April, Brian attended the Hornfest at W Stevens Point where he performed with an ensemble and a master class for all attendees. Congratulations on your performance and being selected to perform with this high honor in the um Hornfest. Brian, would you please come forward and get your picture made?

Person at the microphone will be allotted their five minutes to speak. And we move to the next person who has signed up to speak. And we have one person that has signed up to speak tonight. And I want this person to forgive me if I mess up her last name. I've been practicing. Nicole Kubachic. Oh, thank you to the board members that help me. Dustin, that microphone is on. Okay. All
017right. Can I sir? Yes. Hello, members of the board. My name is Nicole Kubachic. I'm a 1999 graduate of Anigo High School. My daughter, Chelsea Kubachic, is in the 12th grade and will be graduating on Sunday. I also have a son, Alex, in the seventh grade at the middle school. Professionally, I'm an a senior IT project manager at Covantage Credit Union. I also serve as the president of the Anigo Youth Bowling Club and treasurer of the Anigo Optimist Club. I've always been grateful for the mentorship guidance given to me by past teachers going back to my days in Lily Elementary to high school under the guidance of my first computer and business mentor Sharon Zamura. I believe that having influent influential teachers has take who take the time to listen, connect, and guide students is
018one of the greatest impacts a person can make in the world. It helped me along the way to a career that I truly love. I wouldn't be here or where I am today professionally. Without the teachers that took the time for me. As a project manager, it's important to value the members of the team you work with. Without every single member of the player playing their important role a project is likely doomed. It is important for each of these members to be recognized for the valuable part that they play on the project team. I'm here today because I would like to recognize an individual who has played a tremendous tremendous role in my daughter's high school career as well as many of the students who are seated behind me right now. Mr. Mike Perzik. When
019my daughter first came to high school in the eighth grade, she completed tech rotation. I still remember her coming home from school and telling me she welded that day and how excited she was. Honestly, I brushed it off. I didn't think much of it. Over the course of the next five years, the impact of that one teacher, Mike Perzik, has changed the course of my daughter's life forever, along with countless other students who are many of standing behind me and their parents and community members. In honor of this incredible role model, Mike PZik. Mike is the instructor of the high school medals program and Red Robin Machining. He has taught hundreds, maybe thousands of students on skills that are much needed by manufacturing companies in Langley County and everywhere. Mike is actively involved in the
020career and technological education CTE open house which highlights opportunities available to the school's CTE offerings. For for those who attend the CTE open house the last two years, you've met my daughter Chelsea working in the metals shop either on the CNC machine or welding along with many other students who took their time out of school hours to come in and share the talents they have learned in Mike's classes. Mike is also actively involved in Skills USA, having been presented with a distinguished service award this year. Skills USA's mission is to empower its members to become worldclass leaders, workers, and responsible citizens by focusing on personal workplace and technical skills. Mike is the adviser of Anigo Skills USA chapter. Students prepare for the competition showcasing their skills in areas like welding, culinary arts, and CPR first
021aid. Mike has spent a significant amount of his time preparing students for these competitions after school, mentoring them and assisting in transportation. When my daughter went to her first skills competition in the ninth grade, she took last place. She was heartbroken, but through encouragement from Mike, she continued to compete at events over the next three years. Her junior year, she placed second and senior year in the top five at state competition. This was a huge accomplish accomplishment for her. I can honestly say Chelsea never would have taken that and explored outside of her comfort zone had it not been for the guidance of Mike Perzek. With dedication to students and community here, Mike Prezek worked with leaders at North Central Technical College to offer a welding academy program. This opportunity allowed juniors and seniors to
022attend classes at NTC and Anigo earning college credits in the welding trade. This past Saturday, eight AHS students, including my daughter and Carter Watson, who's also in the room, received welding technical diplomas from NTC before graduating high school. Had it not been for the guidance and mentorship that Mike PZik offered to my daughter and these students, I can honestly say they would not have discovered their love for welding. Recently, I heard what I'm hoping is an untruthful rumor that Red Robin machining program and metals classes at Ano High School under the direction of Mike are being eliminated. These programs at the high school under the leadership of Mike Prezik have positively impacted the lives of countless students and many of whom have gone on to successful trade careers right here in our community. Some are
023standing behind me. I'm hopeful these opportunities will be available to my son when he comes to the high school. It is important and it is my hope today in talking with you should the topic of eliminating high school medals be valid that the school board administration remember the words I've spoken to you tonight. the words of a parent that knows the importance of valuing those around us and recognizing significance in building the future of the our community through supporting and developing our youth. Mike Prezik is a dedicated educator and leader in career and technical education at Anico High School through his commitment to education the students and community engagement. Mike Prezik has made and continues to make a significant impact to student lives preparing them for successful careers in skilled trades and technical fields. Thank
024you for your time. Thank you so much. [Applause] Thank you so much. Uh item number three, consent agenda, uh approval of agenda, minutes and financial reports, request for overnight travel, report of district retirements and resignations, and report of district new hires.

028uh this past Wednesday and she has had all this information given to her Wednesday, but I assured her that this would be in your hands for all the board members. again yet tonight. Some of you have seen all of this. In fact, all of you have seen all this before. So, I'm not going to take the time to go through this uh word by word, but this is just a refresher of uh Robert's rules of order, how Robert's rules works and the procedures thereof. Uh the second document is how to obtain the floor when there's a motion on the floor and how to have discussion through Robert's rules of obtaining the floor. The next document that you'll see is the language when receiving a vote during a board meeting. Uh that tells all of us
029how the chair will speak and direct everybody to vote at particular times. And then the last document that that you will see is the document that I hold underneath my laptop and bring it out occasionally whenever there's questions of parliamentary procedures. It's a cheat sheet that you can have uh so you can know that I'm not hiding anything under my laptop. It is the same sheet cheat sheet for parliamentary procedure and it involves the 13 ranking motions. So if any of you have questions about Robert's rules of order, uh you can talk to me and we'll talk about it later uh at another time. Most of you have heard the discussion of Robert's rules and uh Abby heard a very detailed discussion of Robert's rules this past Wednesday. Having said that, we will move to

Letter O, approval of authorization of electronic signatures. I will be looking for a motion, please. I'm I'm going to make the motion, Danny, but I'm going to add something which I can. It's your motion. I move the board to authorize the use of the board officers faximally and or electronic signatures as allowed by law and not prohibited by rules and regulations of the respective agency or organization when they give their permission to do so. When the permission is granted by the by the officer. Okay. So we want to add when the permission is granted by the officer.
045Does everybody understand the motion of Dr. Bartau? What you see in front of you? And then the last statement when the permission is granted by the officer. The idea is that it just doesn't happen that the person that is one of our officers that normally signs if they are unable to make it, they can give permission for Diana to just do the signature. And there's times when that happens and there's times when there's all kinds of signatures to be made that it needs to happen. So that's why I did it. Any other discussion of the motion on the floor? Hearing no discussion of the motion on the floor. All in favor of all in favor of the motion as read by Dr. Bartau with adding when the permission is granted by the officer, let it
046be known by saying I. I oppose. No. Then that motion is carries. Thank you so much for bearing with us through the reorganization of the board for the brand new school year. Um we will now go to item 6A, naming of the new elementary school. I will be looking for a motion, please. I move I move the board to approve the name of the new elementary school as John H. Bradley Elementary motion has been made by Scott. Would you like to speak to your motion, please? I just to say I think it's well deserved and really happy to see it happen. Thank you. Okay. Uh before I open the floor up for other questions or discussion from the board members, we are honored tonight to have members of the Bradley family with us. And I
047want to give any of you or all of you an opportunity to speak or if you've elected a spokesperson, if you want everybody to speak, we will listen to what all of you have to say. Andy, I would suggest you live limited to one. Suggestion well taken. Mr. Bradley, if you'll, if I say Mr. Bradley, I see four of them's going to look at me. Tom, if you would come up to the microphone, please um and speak on behalf of the Bradley family, that would be so appreciated. Thank you. Our family is very honored by this request that was made um or your proposal. I was very excited to hear the energy of Glenda as she explained to me part of the purposes her energy level of uh forming leaders in the elementary school and
048by uh bestowing the honor on my father of naming the school after him. We are humbled and we do appreciate it. Thank you. If any of you have any questions for me or anybody in the family, feel free. Thank you. All right. Thank you, Mr. Bradley. So, I would like uh Mrs. Ojinski to share just a portion of the conversation that she's had with uh the Bradley family and the reasons, the why behind the John H. Bradley Elementary School. Um, so to me, having a community member that we can connect the work of the school with our students around makes it much more personal. It gives them a better sense of ideology of what it is that person has done. when you're talking about teaching young children about perseverance and determination and grit and um
049this will be news for some of you but we have a plan to implement the leader in me at the elementary level where it focuses on building leadership skills within the young students and then that will carry out through the middle school and then into the high school. So we felt that um naming the school after Mr. Bradley was very soothing considering his history. Um, and it just is very easy. I have 10 million things running through my head of things that we can connect around learning about Mr. Bradley and um, what an important community member he was during his time in Anigo. So, it seemed very soothing and I felt it was also a means of helping us. It's been no secret that we've talked about rebuilding pride within our school district and pride
050within our community and I feel like that is one step. We have a lot to be proud of in our community and it's up to us to lift that up. So I feel like this is an opportunity that we just can't pass. Um and I feel like it's very soothing. I just I get a little teareyed of thinking about all the things that we can connect for our young learners around just the name alone of the new elementary school. Thank you very much. Any questions or discussion of the motion on the floor? I just want to express on behalf of the board and it's already been shared. Thank you to each one of you. Sorry this is so touchy for being here. It means a lot to us to have you here. Um, it's exciting
051and uplifting to see your sense of pride. I can feel that energy and appreciation. So, thank you for being here and taking the time and I'm glad we could move it um this agenda item up um so you didn't have to sit through as much because this is really important and um we appreciate you guys being here. So, thank you. The board members would like to speak to the motion on the floor. I just want to say that I had the privileges of teaching a lot of your children and some grandchildren. And speaking of leaders, your family is it. So to the Bradley family, I want to personally uh say thank you for sharing your dad to our country. um it's not unnoticed and just like Jill, it is kind of emotional to think about
052the service that he did for our country as well as all the other many military men and women that serve proudly the good old US of A. And on behalf of the board, when we have the date set for the groundbreaking uh of the new facility, I would like for all of your family to be there and have a shovel in hand uh to take the first shovel of dirt and turn it over for the John H. Bradley Elementary School for the city of Ano. We'll let you know in plenty of time when that date is. Okay. Any other discussion? I think we're going to do a voice vote for this as well. All in favor of the moving the new name of the elementary school to be John H. Bradley Elementary School, let it
053be known by saying I. I. Oppose. Say no. And this this is carried. Thank you so much. I got everything. Can we get a photo Stand up. It was a better idea. It looks just like you need to way back. Thank you so much. We're trying hard. Okay. Item five, administration reports. I will turn this portion over to Mrs. Odess. Okay. Okay. First, we have attached the business services administrative report. Mrs. Fosbender is present if anyone has questions. Up next, we have the buildings and grounds report, administrative report. Mr. Lighterman is present. If anyone has questions, we have the curriculum and instruction report attached. Miss Stutz is present. If anyone has questions, pupil services and special education report is attached. Miss Wagner is present if anyone has questions. Up next, we have the IT report
054attached. Miss Mushak is present if anyone has questions. And last but not least, the superintendent report. I'll try to do a quick rundown. Um, I've spent some time with the senior class talking about the senior class prank, the camp out. Um, I have even volunteered to do a drive-thru to ensure everybody's being safe while they're camping out in the parking lot. Um, and I think we've narrowed down what their senior prank will be. So, they're a little bit excited about that. Um, May 13th and 15th, we held friends and families events at West and North. And I have to say, I was blown away by the attendance. We had so many families and children at both schools. It was just wonderful. And we sent home lots of books with kids to read over the summers.
055Families were excited. Kids were excited. Um so I feel like that was a really good transition before we have our open house. So the kids, most of them have already visited the school that they will be attending next year and their families know who the teachers will be in the building. So it was a great turnout. Um and Mr. Payatt was present for both. Do you want to add anything to that? I just concur with what you said. It was great to see the enthusiasm from the parents as well as the students that was that was coming through the building. They were so excited carrying home bags of books as well. That was exciting. Yes, absolutely. Um on May 14th, we spent the day with Miss Maddock doing um board member orientation and then we
056had an hour um lunchon with the directors where they took time about explaining their roles and responsibilities as directors um to Miss Maddock. I felt it was a very successful day. Um the next one is really important. Uh the it's a an update on the new building. Progress on the new building drawings are around 10 days out. I just talked to Mr. Romance right before the meeting tonight to get the latest update. Um, as soon as everything is completed, they will be sent to the state for approval. The deadline is by June 2nd. At the same time, biders will have access to the plans. We already have three biders that have reached out to him wanting to know when the plans are going to be submitted. So, they're a little bit anxious wanting to know
057so that they can get the bids out, which is exciting, which means probably better pricing for us considering there's so much topsyturvy with pricing and everything right now. So, that's very exciting. Um, so it seems that we may have several even more than those three that are looking to bid on our project. Um, and a reminder that high school graduation is the 25th at 2 p.m. I would love for everyone to be present. If you are planning to attend, Diana already has it posted. Please let us know so that we can make sure that you have a special seat um for the graduation. This is our end goal in mind is getting our students to reach and achieve graduation. So, it's something to be memorialized and to be celebrated for our students. So, I encourage
058all of you to try and attend even though I do realize it's Memorial Day weekend. Um, it'll be Sunday at 2 PM at the high school gym. We also have a retirement recognition in VM Theater at 11:00 on the 27th for all of our retirees. I enjoy I encourage you to attend that as well. It's a little different than what we've done in the past. So, please try to join us if you can and help us celebrate the numerous years that our staff have dedicated to our school district. That's all. Any questions? Board members also for graduation if you plan to attend uh if you could be uh in the commons area in front of the alle cart food area by 1:00 that's whenever we will do pictures is that right 1:30 1:30 thank you
059typically 1:30 for pictures be in front of that olive food cart uh area any other questions for Mrs. Ojinski, I just want to say that I love that the camp out started as the se the senior prank and now it's like a yearly event. It's just so cool. It's traditional. Yes. Yeah. Bobby, no. Jill, I just Oh, go. You want to comment? Just wanted to say that the um recognition for retirement looks appears that it's on the same day on this on your report. It's on the 27th. That's correct. Correct. The 27th. Yes. Okay. And then um I will Oh, good. I just wanted to piggyback on um the senior activities. I just had a a activity that involved the class and it was throughout the community and it seemed to be wellreceived and very
060friendly and a great way to for students to come together and align. Um was it was fun to watch from the outside. So kudos to the senior class because you spoke about seniors in and planning. I also want to take this opportunity because um our administration will not recognize their efforts but we have administration that have had dual administrative roles for the majority of our school year. Um that is not overlooked, that is not undervalued. The school year is coming to an end. Um but as a board we appreciate that individuals administration stepped up to essentially fulfilled two significant roles simultaneously two if not more roles at the same time out of necessity for the best interests of our district due to vacancies that occurred into the school year. So because you will not recognize
061yourselves, um you just do what you need to do because it's the right thing. Um I will take the opportunity to say you know who you are. Um and it is very much appreciated. You're here. Thank you. your right. We also have a administrator that again won't stand up and sound the alarm of of her outstanding achievement, but uh I will say her name because she is receiving an award in January of 2026 of being the uh number one business manager of the year, firsttime business manager of the year. So, Kelly Fospender, new business manager, new business manager of the year, Kelly Fospender, and she's going to receive an award in January 26. Thank you so much. Kelly has grown tremendously in that role in the time that she's been there. Thank you. Any other
062questions or discussion? Thank you for pointing that out. I didn't know if I was going to be like overstepping on something. So, thank you very much. Welld deserved. We are very proud of you. Thank you, Kelly. All right. Board action. Letter B. Consideration to approve the 2026 European history trip to Germany, Austria, Hungary, and Slovakia. I will be looking for a motion, please. I move to approve the 2026 European history trip to Germany, Austria, Hungary, and Slovakia as presented. Motion has been made by Jill. Would you like to speak to your motion? Yes. So, this was brought to committee. Um committee voted to bring it to the full board. Ideally, um the group is looking for 18 students to go. That would be or 18 people to go. Sorry, that'd be 12 students. Rea would
063be chaperrons. I want to point out that um it's a collaborative effort between the German club choir and history. Um drama drama. What did I say? Thank you. Collaborative effort which is really neat um because it not only helps increase the potential of interested students but also with like fundraising and stuff. I just think it's a really smart collaborative approach. That's all. Okay. Any other discussion or questions of the motion on the floor? All right. Hearing no questions or discussion of the motion on the floor. Your voting device is now open and available for you to vote on the measure on the floor. Would anyone like to change their vote? All right, the vote is now closed and the motion carries. Happy trails. Letter C. Consideration to approve the updated teacher contract language only. I
064will be looking for a motion, please. I move to approve the updated teacher contract language only. Motion has been made by Jill. Would you like to speak to your motion, please? I would defer this. I was just trying to look quickly, but my computer is not loading fast enough. I believe this was on a committee agenda if I recall correctly. Um, it was on finance. Thank you. So, um, I looked over that agenda item. I don't have anything to share. If anybody from finance has anything in addition to add, uh, it was presented by Kelly and Mrs. Ojinski to the finance committee and we passed it on to the board level. And I think it's important to add that this will be routine work as things change. One of the changes was language around the
065number of days worked so it didn't conflict with um inclement weather days. So we changed that to make sure that there was some flexibility to where if we had to um work more days or even use an inclement weather day for professional development that gave us the ability to do that. Are there any other questions of the motion on the floor? Yes, Abby. My question is when will our teachers be receiving their contract? So, the plan is if everything goes through as it is, Mrs. Fospender has everyone's salaries. We worked through that and we have all of that ready and these are ready to go if they're approved tonight. So, they should be able to be electronically submitted to staff tomorrow. Okay. And then I have a Can I Can I speak again or do
066I need to wait? You can speak. Continue. Um, in the standard teacher contract number 10, it says this contract shall be null, void, and no effect unless it is signed and returned, which blah blah blah in five days. That's my issue is five days. I don't understand that um because the statute says that um teachers have until June 15th. Um, so I don't understand where this five days is coming from. So we consulted with our legal counsel and I can tell you that the changes that have been made went through committee. There were recommendations to make some changes and um once we had that motion, we went back to our attorneys and shared it with them and they said absolutely that that we are within our purview to do this. Okay. Okay. I don't know
067how to. So even though it's within state statute, we as a school district can request that. Okay. Do we think that five days is enough time? I mean it before they had a month from May 15th to June 15th. Five days seems very short if you're, you know, thinking about your family or your life. I just I don't know if anyone else feels that way, but I definitely do. So they have five days to accept the contract. Yeah. So state statute state statute one 118.22 letter or number two the portion that Abby is referring to the statute reads shall accept or reject in writing such contract not later than the following June 15. So we actually have from the time the contract is issued until what we choose which is five days for this year
068or the state statute says not later than June 15th. So we can go all the way to June 15 but the committee u voted last Monday to put this to five days. I guess the way I look at it is say you're hiring a head basketball coach, you don't you want to know right away because if he says no, you want to get on the horn the next day and get you want to get the best guy. Correct. So when you're competing for a top level person, you want to know right away. And I will protect the best interest of our district to get that person to sign a contract as soon as possible. Dr. Bartto, what also came to the committee was that in the past, uh, you know, we get out either late
069May, early June, and if it was June 15th, the teachers would be gone. And then administration said that there were times when June 15 came and people who they thought were coming back hadn't signed or returned and therefore they were making phone calls trying to get these people, hey, get, you know, and then they're on vacation and and they're saying, "Yeah, I want to come back." And so we let the administrative administration let them go longer than June 15th. But the point is, if it's five days, they'll still be here working. And that's what administration said was that if uh they're here, there's a better chance of everybody having it back into us rather than the administration trying to catch people during the sum, the early summer. So that was one of the reasons it
070was five. Okay. Thank you. Would anybody like to speak? just that I would agree and quite frankly the pool um dissipates the longer we wait. So prompt action on our part to want that signature right away. So I would agree. Yes, I think it's more than fair to give them five technically seven days with the weekend. Right. Thank you. I just wanted to hear other points of view. Any other discussion or questions of the motion on the floor? Okay. Hearing no questions or discussion of the motion on the floor, your voting device is now open uh to approve the updated teacher contract language only. Would anyone like to change their vote? All right, the vote is now closed and the motion carries. Letter D 2526 Unified School District of Antigo agreement for use of the
071Clara R McKenna Aquatic Center with Langlade Hospital. I will be looking for a motion. I move to approve the 2526 Unified School District of ano annual agreement for use of the Clara R McKenna Aquatic Center with the Langley Hospital as presented. Motion has been made by Katherine. Would you like to speak to your motion? only that this came to the committee last Monday and it's a routine agreement that comes up yearly. Is there any other discussion or questions of the motion on the floor? Kristen, so last year we talked about this is like basically our break even point. Why did we choose not to make money? So in the past it was very significant um in the aspect that it was extremely low much lower than our operating. So they had quite a gigantic hike
072last year and we did um put a standard 5% increase this year. they have been an excellent um partner and so when we recalculate all of our all of our um operating expenses every year this that will be impacting all the different things that we have. Um, so it hasn't been done that way, but we're doing that this in this way. And so in looking at all of the different aspects of their usage, um, this is a good partnership fiscally for us to have. Thank you. Any other questions of the motion on the floor? Okay. Hearing no questions or discussion of the motion on the floor. Your voting device is now open to approve the annual agreement from the aquatic center to the hospital. Would anyone like to change their vote? The vote is now
073closed and the motion carries. Letter E. Consideration to approve the annual H contributions. I will be looking forward a motion. I move to approve the annual HRA contributions to the district's HR plan for eligible staff in an amount not to exceed $158,000. Motion has been made by Dr. Bard. Would you like to speak to your motion? Uh this was the uh amount that was brought forward by Mrs. Fospender and um the committee moved it forward. Would anyone like to speak to the motion on the floor? Kristen, go ahead. I would just like to say that a lot of times things are brought to our attention that we are not um doing recognizing our um tenure teachers. It's not always a dollar amount. There's other things that we're doing for teachers who are here for multiple
074years and this is a very good example of one of those things. Thank you for pointing that out. Any other discussion or questions of the motion on the floor hearing? None. The voting device is now open. Try one more time. Abby, would anyone like to change their vote? The vote is now closed and the motion carries. Letter F, consideration to approve the instructional coach position. I will be looking for a motion, please. A move to approve the instructional coach position as presented. Motion has been made by Jill. Would you like to speak to your motion, please? No. Okay. Any other questions or discussion of the motion on the floor to approve an additional instructional coach position? So, is it am I correct that we're going to be looking for two? One from a retirement and
075this additional one. Yes. Okay. Hearing no other discussion, the voting device is now open. Would anyone like to change their vote? The vote is now closed and the motion carries. Letter G, consideration to approve the middle school locker purchase. I will be looking for a motion, please. I move to approve the middle school locker purchase as presented. Motion has been made by Jill. Would you like to speak to your motion? It went to committee, not my committee, but it's on our agenda, so we went through committee. Um, and the information is in the topic summary sheet. So, I don't have anything further to add. Okay. Any further discussion or question of the motion on the floor? Mr. Lightman is present to answer any and all questions hearing. No questions or discussion. The voting device is
076now open. Would anyone like to change their vote? The vote is now closed and the motion carries. Consideration letter H to approve the sale of East Elementary. I will be looking for a motion, please. I move to approve the sale of East Elementary by choose one. A realator, B, sealed bids, or C an auction. Okay. Which one of those would you like to choose for your motion? Sealed bid B. Okay. The motion on the table is I move to approve the sale of East Elementary by uh a sealed bid. Would you like to speak to your motion on the floor? only that I feel that the district doesn't need to involve a real litter um necessarily um as we can save a percentage of the sale by avoiding the real litter involved and that a
077attorney can file those or draft the necessary um transfer property including a deed and the closing title The motion on the floor is what we will direct all of our discussion to. Is there any discussion of the motion on the floor? Only discussion that I would add to this would be um a later date would be set for when these sealed bids would be due once we are finished with East Elementary and Mr. lightman can give direction to the committee of setting the date for the sealed bid unless you're prepared to do so tonight. Okay. I have one question. Bobby, go ahead. Um, in the sale of prior property, there were some parameters that we stayed as far as what those buildings could be used for or the deed restrictions. So, I'm just wondering where
078the intent is as far as on the sale if anybody can answer that. Well, we've discussed a few things. Um, and one would be that when the building is sold, it could not be used for a school. Correct. Same for certain. And I think that's something that would be left up to the board to discuss of any other restrictions you would like to have placed because I think there are other considerations. This would be an item we would talk about at the committee for building and grounds and uh at that time when it's on the committee agenda uh let that committee chairman know if if you're not on that committee what you would like to have as far as deed restrictions and uh we can talk about it at the committee and then it'll be
079brought to the board uh for final approval. Dr. Um, when I was at Whitburn, we sold a building. We did it by bids. Um, I would recommend that that committee attempt to come up with a minimum bid. And then, um, I would also uh uh state that family members can only make one bid. that was not in our uh when we went through the process, we got a better price than we expected. However, one family who got the bid had like five bids in and then when they found out that their top bid didn't, they declined to take it. Then they declined and then the third one was high enough that they were the high bidder and had beaten someone else for the bid. So, we want to make sure that that game is not
080played because we never thought of that. Any other questions of the motion on the floor? So, Jake, I'm sure that you've taken some notes down uh for the committee deed restrictions, minimum bid, and then one bid per family, and I would say or business. Are you comfortable? Is this the option that you would prefer if you're Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Because you're going to be the one doing it. If you didn't get those notes, be honest sure got them for you. Uh the when we did it, the board president and the superintendent were there to open the bids. We can do that. Okay. Hearing no other discussion of the motion on the floor and that is to approve the sale of East Elementary by sealed bids. The the voting device is now open. That's
081good. Would anyone like to change their vote? Okay. Okay, the vote is now closed and the motion carries.

And what that is stating is if the board chooses to pass this motion tonight, this would then become adopted and become an active policy. Any other questions or discussion? Okay. No hearing. No other
