017a couple of years in the past and he said that he's Kaz I even know what the categories are but it's really nice to program well thank you both very much thank you no other visitors on Mist Mara any board member issues questions matters I have a topic I'd like to just put on a future board agenda would just be kind of a cell phone policy at school I just hearing a lot about that recently you know I think there's about 17 States across us that have no cell phone policies um heard from my aunt that the casan went to a no cell phone policy and she said that was like really positive I guess for the teachers and everything in that school and so just want to brought up as a topic for a
018future board meeting and get feedback from staff here what they think about that and you know it sounds like there might be larger rules coming out in the future anyways around that maybe getting in front of that a little bit to just be on top of that policy I guess great idea could you make sure that on next month and do you think it a good idea Isaac to get feedback St that should probably go to the policy committee first and the other one that you'll have to contact staff is not a bad idea either but thought Neola because pay for those and they're the ones that make sure we stay leg with yeah I think and that was actually one of the things um just to add that I had on the report is
019obviously right now the legislation is there to look at that what will happen with that I'm not sure some of the specifics of it are kind of interesting too because it's SES like not having film books and some things like that um but yeah I think that part is definitely coming and would be a good you know discussion so a discussion first at the policy committee which is actually meeting before the next board meeting and I can contact David froma he comes at the end of the month to meet with us so we can go through that okay so maybe we could do it back to back we could have the committee meeting and then update the board on our discussion immediately afterwards and I I don't from what we learn I listen to the
020monthly meeting that Kim usually listens to from the state I listened to the and Aaron came down to listen to the part of it when he had time I don't know if Neola will have anything yet because the legislate legislation is just moving through um there are a number of bills on there that they said um the governor was sure the veto that they didn't have a read on what the governor would do because there is public support for it um I don't know if you were still in there when they came back to that or not but um that one they didn't have a read for they thought that the governor would there's some belief that the governor will veto it because he sees it as a local control issue and the schools want
021to that should be left to this individual School District do what they think is best like Aaron said too maybe that was our conversation where there's also a push that a lot of schools would just like to say Hey That's the Law yeah because all the research shows you're better off not having a cell phone kids but well I guess that's why I bring it up too is just so it's not a teacher Administration issue it's a school board issue and the school board says that then then that also takes it off the shoulders whether it's legislation or not and they have to put away now right right yeah they're not to have m in class unless they're told it's okay I that'ss good we'll find out for you so that'll be the plan then
022policy committee at 6:00 next month and then I assume then we could just have it as an informational item on the board agenda and follow right up with maybe not an official recommendation but summary of the discussion from the policy committee there do we want to solicit input from staff before that is that something we can do that yeah it's more upstairs we don't have well they can't have them all some of the fifth graders have them couple of the fourth graders have them but they they can't be out can't be out means they shouldn't be out doesn't mean it isn't a problem downstairs they really it isn't not with the fourth and fifth graders they put them away when they walk through the door and so maybe it's the upstairs teachers that might have
023thoughts yeah they would certainly have more thoughts I would still work with naola though a little bit don't let him just get off with there's no law on it yet right they can get AIT advice great idea know of other schools have policies too thank you Isaac that'll be a good discussion nice to be proactive on things like that rather than than reative anything else from any other board members um I just want to let everybody know some of you already knew this but the Reon fire department came in uh and did training in the school this last this month no last month um just to make sure that everybody knew where all of the more important spots were um like they went down and looked underneath the pool uh with where all the chemicals
024are um the the chemistry room where chemicals were uh the shop just places where there may be flammable things so it was it was good to know very good very good anything else if not we'll move on to item five expense vultures and receipts questions or comments on those I just had one I guess looking at some of the health insurance payments it made me remember maybe last spring we may more recently we saw a nice breakdown of our new self- funded model versus the old traditional model the the cost breakdown is that being tracked month by month what yep so we get a monthly report it's typically lagged a little bit um but just to kind of show these are all of our fixed costs this is kind of some cost that have change
025if we get any um rebate back from it right now we're still running pretty good on it um I should be getting the summary for February within the next few days so I can always add that on the next meeting if that's something that you guys would like to see yeah maybe we could wait to have a a year end I think June I don't know it's kind of nice to see it at least quarterly so yeah maybe next meeting then if you'd like to see it soon this [Music] one for Apple was peard big yeah it was probably onet um yep so we had to get a new Mini Mac for the auditorium and then a program for it that to run on Just for some of the stuff that goes on in the
026auditorium and then on the must be cash seips there's from the pool says pool use there's a bunch of ones is that just I know there's one that said water but what are the other on so a lot of those are probably from fing lessons P um and then yeah some of the water robes as well I forgot that they were doing the only PE card expense i c was GGA $4,100 to scaling Supply Company in the course yep so that was for just some custodial supplies I think they bought um a lot of trash bags on that one just to kind of keep up and that was kind of in that in between period where actually I think DJ may have come in that day to meet with Troy um just to kind of
027go over some of the needs and make sure you keep up on this so that's why DJ still has that um P card charge was because they were using his Before Troy had gotten his oh I see but going forward there shouldn't be any more charges on DJ's cards so I was ask about that first I thought oh we should get that Chang to try yeah it was just that in between period but now that Troy has it DJ's has been canceled so should be should be good to go anything else if not entertain a motion to approve tonight's expense vouchers and receipts make that motion second motion by Janet second by B to approve Mara Isaac Wallace yes Rich James yes Peggy McCormick yes B Raider yes Janet matthys BR Wallace yes Scott Walters
028yes uh slim consent agenda tonight consisting only of last month's meeting minutes so take a moment to glance through and when anybody's feeling comfortable I'll entertain a motion to approve tonight's consent agenda sh somebody be brave I'll make motion if nobody else great motion by Janet second by Earl to approve tonight's consent agenda Rich James yeah Peggy McCormack yes B shider yes Janet Mattis yes wall yes Isaac Wallace yes Scott Walter yes moving on then to our action agenda remembering that we're starting with item C uh bus purchase and the breakdown of that bus is in the packet details are there it's just sort of keeping in line with our tradition of replacing a bus a year how did we fair with the what is it Transportation cost the money we get from the high
029cost transportation that payoff uh so I won't find out what we're getting for this year until about June 15th um but I know last year we did really well with it just because we bought the bus and one or two SUVs so that for sure paid for the bus if not more um yeah they're very well for us and I assume there are some cost benefits to maintaining a relatively low mileage Fleet of buses in terms of Maintenance we talked about them once there was even something with insurance that that a certain I can't remember what it was oops and as long as we can afford to we need to because the day is going to come when we're not going to be able to do a bus every year really good shap for that
030and you'll work this into the budget so yep je does a good job of finding re good deal a old model but he gets him to hold for so what maybe no nobody knows but what is that 100,000 mile warranty cover is power stuff or is I don't know ask well I'm not going to hold things up Just J we're just making this we're just doing this now basically so that he can Jeff can actually get his name in for this unit that's right yeah it actually wouldn't be bought till after July of next year probably wouldn't actually be bought until next spring so like February March of 206 like a year from now yeah yeah now it's just so we can get our name on the bus and they should be to lock in
031the price too so we shouldn't see a big jump in price for our bus next year oh yeah oh yeah would anybody like to make the motion to approve I'll make the motion to approve the purchase of the bus I'll second it motion by Isaac second by to approve purchase of the buses described Peggy McCormack yes bider yes Janet Mattis yes Ro Wallace yes Isaac Wallace Rich James Scott Walter yes moving on then to former item d a school vehicle purchase and there's a bid from Sleepy Hollow and Jones for similar Vehicles looks like a Yukon from Sleepy Hollow and a Jeffy Suburban from Jones I think right now Jeff has a van that he's not feeling super comfortable with taking kids on um sounds like there are a lot of I think nine eight
032or nine kids up on Carter mountain and so this would give the opportunity to um have that almost become a route to pick those kids up and be there rather than taking the van or using an extra bus utiliz to do that so as far as the bed Earl I don't know Isaac you want to comment on that be we to go with sleepy H slightly less expensive and it's a year older a year older but [Music] as can that's you said Mar right you wanted to get going on he did he wants to test out that route before the end of the year yeah is this a new vehicle I don't mean new but is this replacing a current School vehicle or is this an additional yeah the great vannie has it does not
033allow kids to go in he doesn't trust it enough he'll allow maybe staff to drive it here and there but it's bus drivers drive home if they yeah it's not used for kids right now and the big thing is is that rope that it's going to take away from that route picks up the first child at 620 so it's technically almost an extra hour than a normal route so he'd like to reead that a little bit and get one of these would does you don't need anybody with the CDLs so who would drive that Ro um he hasn't decided yet one of the bus drivers I think one of the van drivers that he has now yeah they won't need a bus driver yeah i' make a motion to approve the P from sticky Hollow
034for the second motion by is second by thank you gentlemen to approve purchase of the uh GMC Yukon from Sleepy Hollow o shider yes Janet Mathis yes Earl Wallace yes Isaac Wallace yes Rich James yes py McCormack yes Scott Walter yes the next item then make up uh school for future snow days nothing in the packet on this yeah essentially we hadit our fourth day here last week so um just trying to have a plan going forward um you know we kind of left it as we'd see what it would look like at this point Kim and Andy and I talked in just space where things are at and the element of the virtual aspect with Elementary and just kind of the uncertainty we just felt that April 21st would make the most sense to
035use the DAT if we needed to um and go from there so have anything to add no there some we also have the weekend coming up with the Friday Monday day off but through the great Bine there people have already made plans for vacations and I don't that we only have so many Subs so at least now the Easter one it didn't sound like as many people were going to be gone and kind of work around that and this is the only if only if there's another one and I'm sure that won't happen in Wisconsin and actually probably have it out L because April 15th or do we have Friday off Friday the 27th Friday the 18th before Easter yeah it's good Friday oh I'm thinking March sorry yeah there Good Friday so at least
036this way we have a plan we know everybody knows it's not scrambling the night before what are we going to do so I guess haven't survived Co and all the virtual issues not that that didn't work but I like the idea of staying in school hey hey quick question is that 15.17 is that really correct so we're we have 15 extra days middle school high school no five for Middle for elementary yeah high school is like 57 or something yeah so basically 40 40 hours so to speak or minutes that may still be those are days yeah so it should say 5.17 not 15.17 no it's 15 that's Elementary though because they're not required as many from DPI okay okay thanks yep would anybody like to make a motion to approve that approach to bending
037wizard I make a motion to approve 21st as a make up sow motion by Isaac second by Peggy Mara Janet Mathis yes Ro Wallace yes Isaac Wallace yes Rich James yes py McCormick yes oider yes Scott wal yes moving on then to tonight's informational agenda a couple items beginning with something that's becoming an annual routine review of the TC network service agreement there are cost and briefly Services provided listed here oh we said it every they're they're awesome yeah they do a great job and before we had them we had our own in house person and this says work really good I'm sure we don't have as much invested in that as we have our person seems very cost effective and they're just what I understand really good and they've got a lot of resources
038behind them so you just have one person here he's got he or she has yeah people behind I think the resources part is really huge you're not a one person show you've got all the stuff they're doing it at every school and that definitely helps and they're handling the saber security stuff so that's a I guess just the question that you know I've seen the monthly payment every month looking through the that covers anything like if we have some massive they have to send every employee across the globe to kick aoo for nine weeks it covers their services but if we have to buy equipment Stu like that well that's what I'm asking whatever services are needed it's covered we're not going to face it I think it does right get extra bills and wasn't
039it Roger Tyson himself came and camped in the park one time we had a major change over going on the summer or something well we all seem very happy with this so this come back is a action item or just I I don't know if they'll have an exact I they just said no because I mean we are in contact through cont through 2026 4% was actually in the contract right not to exceed so it could come that what is that per less than 4% so our CPI this year is 2.95 um we've been waiting to hear back what our first sh contract will be next year but we just know it's not going to exceed 4% so right now I'm you know planning for 4% just because that's more worst case scenario for this
040so all right if nothing else and seeing Earl steer which is telling me to get my butt Mo we'll move on to uh something I kind of enjoy the monthly review of the activity fund yes negative numbers are are a good thing it's backwards um we do have a couple of accounts that show positive on here so that means that they're in the wrong um I've contacted those couple of advisers just to let them know get a plan in place as to what they're going to do just for fundraising and get them back back to where they should be and there's also just a few that had absolutely no activity year to dat at this point which I me I me it doesn't really matter it's just if that keeps up you wonder how long
041you should just leave yeah and I know yeah there there are a couple clubs that we really typically don't see a ton of activity in um and I know uh I think it's the yearbook club that one typically get zeroed out every year because whatever is in that goes to I'll offset the yearbooks for everyone um so a lot of them at the end of the year kind of come out there a few of them I should say not lot can I ask about one club that we a year ago or so started the photography club is that still going that's it still going right now they haven't needed any funds so I don't have any type of monetary account set up for them um students participating y and remembering ear Old St so I'm
042not going to Bel this but um when we met with the lefar board uh sort of cross-pollinating amongst clubs we thought would be a good idea I don't know where that we left that if we're actually going to pursue that or push it or but if you guys remember that came up as an idea that their students could join our photography club our students could join their boxing club or whatever I guess I been heard anymore on I'm not sure where Kim left off with that yeah I think with kind of everything that's happened the last month they probably not priori it what's that probably not prioritized yeah um but we do I we did talk about that we do there's a lot of things right now already that you know there's a lot of
043crossover with things that happen and stuff like that any other questions comments then we will move on I assume to the principal's reports do you have anything from the superintendent got okay superintendent report so just a couple things and one um one of them was the cell phone Bandon legislation but we already talked about that a little bit so couple other things funding um it sounds like obviously there's a lot going on right now but we should be good through the end of the year but obviously I think everybody's seen that tried forward some of the Wisconsin um School news there's a lot going on so depending on what happened with the Department of Education and all the special Leed funding and everything um I think there will be a lot to lot to know
044and see what's going to happen here within the next number of months um Title Nine with some of the changes with Neola um there's a meeting coming up with them here in a couple weeks to kind of spell out new policies and how things actually should be said and where they're at I think they've kind of held just a little bit with everything going on and where it's at and trying to have a good understanding and basis um another thing um you've probably seen that a little bit in the news too but if you remember from testing last year and Andy and I talked about this they changed the cut scores and what was determined instead of proficient basic in advance change to meeting um almost meeting um and so there's been a little bit
045of discussion on that as far as changing thing back things back to the actual scores and where they were um nothing has officially changed but just something to be aware of with that um and the other one that people didn't know superintendent part Kim is home she got home yesterday so very happy to be home and be there and um so yeah guess that's superintend part so Andy anything to add I guess to that no that the funding stuff you watch that together today the and I think that was before you got in there that the lobbyist for Wisconsin that with works with the federal government said that every all the funding should be there for the rest of this year next year what will happen with is with the budget everything we'll we'll find
046out right now that's good there's also I didn't bring that sheet with me there's also um federal government there is a bill there trying to pass that would um make it much much easier to to um for voucher schools to be funded using it as a tax write off they didn't go into very much details but they said if that happened it would superheat the ability of people to use vultures and then where would that money come from obviously would probably come out of ours but just on your radar nothing eminent but that was there no I think that was it the main stuff anyway um principal report for elementary um every month booked for breakfast it's very nice to get grandparents and parents in here in a good situation to have breakfast with their
047kids the high school always there's a club that comes down to read with the kids so it's another way for our kids to interact K1 12 4K 12 um UI progress monitoring actually that all that started the kindergarten and first graders their 10e plans will be up so um we're making some really good progress with that in all the grades so was kind of nice to see the from the staff Aaron and I bull check with the snow days were the two snow days where they got to work at home and they are very appreciative of you allow them to do that they work on you fly stuff um lesson plans looking at data things that they don't feel like they have time to do when a kid is coming in hurt scraped up on
048the from the playground and I know how that is where you just start to try to do something and then next thing you know you're interrupted and they actually had some time to really look at stuff um I actually have a list just that they sent me of stuff that they did looked at different um youly stuff there's inside of that the ufly there's a website that has different passages and different things that they can use to incorporate um they looked at a lot of site words there was some look at social studies and science stuff some different things they want to do for writing so it was time well spent so thank you for that um I did an act 20 on it just to make sure that we're in compliance and guess what
