001No more than 10, right? You know what I mean? Like two adults and and just slowly starting there's a lot of kids that get nervous about this. 100% way more than back in the day. Right. Well, right before we left, the US government then made um Brussels a level two tariff, right? Yeah. But no, it would Belgium. I'm sorry. Belgium. Brussels is so Belgium was a level two threat. I'm like, "Okay, well, what is this?" I think it was in response to some of the stuff like different. I don't know about that, but Belgium is definitely not that economic. So if there is a place to hide out over it's it's noticeably then a lot of it. So that might be a place different for sure. We were driving in Luxburg, these beautiful highways and
002also [Music] pots and every pot with holes and everything else. I can see a little different economy here than what we just left. So everybody know I it's so funny after being over there right but I on my flight home I went and watched Sri and when I got home I walked back and they actually had a place where um one of the general comes into cooks and says, "Get your guns. We're going out there." So, that was actually in the original movie. [Music] I bet you guys ready? and she had to send the plan. I will call the meeting to order if agenda date, time, and location were properly announced. Um, we do have a couple members missing tonight, but I think that has a lot to do with us changing the schedule, so
003just bear with we'll get it we'll get our schedules realigned, so it'll work out. Um, so we'll start off with the approval of the minutes of the regular meeting of May 19th, 2025. Is there a motion to approve? So, is there a second? Katie second. I'll second rainy. Any um corrections, questions? All those in favor, please say I. I opposed. All right, motion carries. Uh, next we have donations. Uh, yes. So, thank you to Mary uh Lalco that donated about $200 worth of knitting supplies for a new knitting club. And for Yson, uh, another about $215 worth of knitting supplies for a knitting club that will be starting in middle school next year. Middle school, right? Yes. Um, is it Margaret, right? Margaret. Margaret is is an interest in this and found some other students
004that uh went and before you know it, we have a knitting club. How many are How many students are interested? Yeah. [Laughter] All right. Well, great. That's exciting. Uh, next we have payment of the bills. Is there a motion to approve Um the for May the amount of 1,138,675.78. Chuck, is there a second? Second. Brian, any questions? Patty had some questions earlier. Was there anything else? Did you get everything answered that you had? Reie? Yeah, I Yes, I got it answered. I mean, I guess a couple things I thought were interesting is um we a fuel tank. So that was filled up. There was a big balance for I think Waldo or a big check amount for them. Waldo fuel. Yeah. So just uh um about a year and a half ago, we went in
005with TNT and we buy fuel bulk. So we don't buy it from gas stations over and then we buy fuel at the price that gas stations pay for it. Um which helped us save uh um a good chunk of money. So every time we're up um there's there's a meter on it so we have to bunch in if it's for the district or or it's for TNT. Um and we we kind of navigate through that stuff. But yeah, it's a great way to to save even on the gas station. Another item to call out. We talked about the um Luxembourg exchange project. Those it's fully funded but those checks come through the office including like um the to pay a reimbursement for that was actually the Lux that was the Luxembourg project. I I I
006was hosting that dinner, paid for it, and then paid for it out of the Luxburg Exchange. So So some of those things are are just kind of a pass through. Um there's some things with that that it's it's growing so exponentially. There may be a time that the district won't have to be the financial fiduciary for that. We're trying to do that. Um but give us another year as we're kind of going through and stabilizing. It would nice it would be nice to see that kind of separate right from our books. Yeah. So that's something that has been requested from the donor as well. So that's something we're working on. Just a quick question about the lawn mower. A new lawn mower we purchased. Um was this replacing something or is this an additional um
007we kept the old one but it was it needed to needed to be replaced and it was time to go from there. Patty, right? We kept we didn't trade that one in. I think the lawnmower the the grasshopper, right? Yeah, we bought a new one, but the other one was had seen its seen its life. Good. Any other questions, comments? All those in favor, please say I. I. Opposed? Motion carries. um the cash summary. I'll just, you know, as an update, I think between Patty and I and and everyone else, trying to get all of our DPI things, I feel like every day we're getting new funds and now it's the $8,000 for title two and uh 5,000 for pathways. So, just trying to clean up here. We get we have what exactly one week
008before June is done. And Patty is in frantic mode, but she's getting everything done. There we go. Then we get to start all over July 1 again. Yeah. Okay. Any questions? Uh comments from the public. Kim, you didn't receive any. You two don't have anything. Okay, Jerry. They're later on. Okay. um referendum. Um you can't walk here and find uh all the all the things that are going on. Um it there there seems like there's not a part of the district that's not touched right now. And the one thing besides this room, nothing is air conditioned. So, thank you for being flexible in meeting here. Uh there's some rooms that are public. Yes, that was Kim's Kim's uh message this morning. Like it's 90 degrees in some of these rooms. How about we go into
009here? So this is this doesn't work so bad, huh? So just be prepared. This may be where we meet in July as well. Um by August, by the end of August, we should be back and we should be set and the chiller should be ready to go, but uh I'm not even going to promise that right now. So uh things are going well. August 23rd is the handover date. They still feel comfortable with that. Uh Reie and Chuck, we went over our um um our budget today. Okay. Anything you want to say about just that meeting? We're on track. Yeah. I think some things have come up and we want to make sure we resolve all funding issues and so we had a couple of those. Yeah. Change orders. I feel like we're using our
010contingency to find other areas to keep making this better. Um, one of the big ones that we talked about today, um, when different wings are put on a school, it's traditional that you just put a lift station. So, our kindergarten wing, um, because they needed bathrooms, the waste from the toilets go into a big pump or a big pot and then that pot goes up over everybody's head and then it gets pumped into the sewer somewhere else. It's what you do to reduce cost and new additions. We were able to, one of the biggest things this last month is we're actually going to be gravity fed. So instead of going into a big pot and then being pumped over and smelling, it will just naturally flow with the rest of our plumbing. So every time
011we're finding an opportunity to um make it kind of future proof, we're trying to do that. So So yeah, guys are working hard, I tell you. Yes. So, there were some areas and Myron um came in and actually I'll give credit to Bray. I I'm not a Mason, right? Um but if you look at if you look at the bricks, how these are laid out, very nice straight lines, everything else. Um their masons didn't do as good a job as that is. So, they came in and they are fixing all the lines. some of the blocks had little pieces off of it. So, they came back and did all that rework over the last two weeks. Um, it's been a pain for us, right? Because that was the one gym we were going to have
012available um that we don't. Uh, but that is now fixed. They're going to be painting it and we'll take a look at what it looks like when it's done. Are there concerns long term? Mike and I have talked endlessly about those concerns, right? And we feel like their expertise, Myron's expertise in how they did it, we feel like this will be a long-term, it's more cosmetic, right? It was never anything that was structural. Um, so yeah, that was one of those unfortunate situations with that. So, but cosmetic is still important. That's a big piece of this project. A gym is such a hightra area in the lobby. I'm just thinking of kids brushing up against it if it's just um there. I It is It's It's ground all the way down to the concrete and
013they missed a step. So, as they're putting these big cinder blocks on, right? There was areas that little pieces had come off that had broken off. They were supposed to at that time before they painted, they were supposed to whitewash the wall that they always do and then you paint over it. They skipped that piece for whatever reason. Um, so they ground everything down to the original concrete, did what they were supposed to do initially, and they've said that we'll have no issues with that coming off. Feel free as you're walking out to see once. I I kind of was putting my hand across and stuff. I was worried about it chipping and falling out. It feels like it's in there tight, but I don't know. Do we need to be concerned about the paint
014on the whole wall? Like, will they give us an extended warranty on the paint or something? Once it's painted, I want to see what it looks like and then we'll have a conversation on that. So, I just wonder what it's going to look like five years from now. I I I That's everywhere. Yeah. That's that whole area. Yeah. So, yeah. And, uh, I'm glad Ray pointed it out because it's something that you and I would never have seen otherwise, right? Um, and, uh, yeah. I don't know. So, we can talk about it in the next meeting. Yeah. Yeah. Feel free. I think once it's fixed, we'll talk about what does that mean and we'll kind of go from there. So, and uh we've had some we've occurred some cost with renting gym spaces in other
015areas because we haven't had that available. So, I'm just letting them fix it the best they can and then we will talk about what does this mean down the road. So, it doesn't feel like they grounded like the beach is still mostly there, right? And there's speckled spots in some spots. If you leave out these doors, the kitchen spot, if you look overhead, they actually replaced a whole bunch of block. There's an area in the new gym that they replaced the block because it wasn't put in uh up to their standards. So um so the hallway was more filling holes, filling holes, doing things like that, straightening lines by grinding, doing things like that. So yeah, look like somebody set up Yeah, we weren't vandalized. And I think we found out about when did we
016find out about that? When did they like Yeah. So, so it was was it uh the Monday after school was out or was it the Monday the last Monday of the school year? One of the two. So, we just found out about this in early June. So, so I'm let I'm letting them see what uh what it looks like and then we'll talk about that. But yeah, unfortunate. Any other questions or discussion on the referendum? Hey, building reports. I was just going to ask if there's a date set for like open to the public open house thing. So, I know I think we have a date set in Octo was it October for our open house when we're going to October 8th. October 8th. We wanted to give ourselves enough time to make sure we're
017lived in everything's done. If we're going to do an open house, let's make sure all anything that is unforeseen is completed so we can go from there. So, and are we coordinating that with conferences or something that we might right? Okay. Okay. So, we're trying to coordinate it to be a big event that everybody wants to come to and they're coming. All right. So, I'm going to kick off the um strong classrooms this evening. We had a great completion of the school year. Um for the elementary, we did a student choice day. Um so, the students got to pick two different choices and then rotated to places that are were int of interest to them. Gina was here and helped out. It was really fun. Um, I think it was helpful for the teachers, too,
018because our classrooms needed to be moved so we could be ready um for the construction to happen on the following weekend and week. So, it was a really great place for kids to get some learning, do something they're interested in, and still um you know, provide places for them to be. It was really neat. Outside, we were doing s'mores. There were kickball games. You guys were doing chalk and bubbles. It was just really a fun day for kids. Um, and I know the middle school, they had their triathlon that week. I think that comes a little later in here. We'll talk about that, too. Um, for summer curriculum, the staff has really enjoyed being able to come and plan over the summer. So, we've have them um they pick two days um and they're coming
019in working with our instructional coaches and designing their units for the beginning of the year. So it takes away that pressure at the beginning of those um first days of August and it allows them some time to really refine what they want to be doing in the classroom. So that's exciting as well. Yeah. So days in June or July. I don't want to worry about it is. Yeah. So, they they really love it. And then there's that time right when before school starts to get things organized in the classroom and start thinking about kids and what we need to what our next steps will be. Um we have our literacy program. This is again part of act 20 for our students that um need extra help. They encourage um school districts or require student school
020districts to have a re summer reading program. I cannot take any credit for this. This was Jamie Utek's vision. um she was part of this at the con at I believe it was um Cardinal Stretch. They had a reading and tutoring center there and she's like let's give it a try. So we have 46 students enrolled in our summer literacy program. They come for an hour either Monday and Wednesday or an hour in the afternoon on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We made it flexible for parents. Um and they get small group work. They're working on reading comprehension and some groups are working on handwriting as well to kind of help get their information across. Um pieces of the curriculum then go home with the students so parents can continue to work on it at home if
021they like. And I know Gina dropped off a grandson I think for that too. She's like I get to see her all the time. So that's been really fun. Um and you you really see those parents and get to know them. And some kids are biking there too. Does he? Oh good. Right. Yeah. Awesome. Um and then the next part is a presentation about Next Path. This is a data warehouse and a front-facing um information center that we are going to be having for families. our teachers started kind of dabbling in it in the elementary last year. We needed a way to get information out to families quickly um based on the Ames web screener. So this program had an had the ability to do that and Kim we can go to the next slide.
022So I'm going to show you like the 10,000 foot view and then kind of go down from there. So what I have up in front of you is our oral reading fluency scores. Now remember that that first um screener in fall next path was able to grab from fastbridge but remember the and um some admentum pieces but this was different than the Ames web that we had in the middle of the year and the end of the year and now moving forward we will always have Ames web. So you can see um that it it starts with our at risk and then it gradually increases. The one that you might have a question about, I think second grade is our one down toward the bottom where that one had a less students and again I
023think this is some of that um different screener pieces but now as we're implementing all Ames web you will see growth there too. So then we can go to the next slide. Yes. Oh yeah. Yep. I'll go up there. Hi. Yep. So, this is really cool. It can even get down to um gender, um ethnicity. It can show us all things. So, right now it has Oh, sorry. I won't touch it. I promise. So, this is just oral reading fluency. it will be able to report out on math on um science and and all of the anything it pulls from an assessment it can bring make a spreadsheet for us. So here we have by measure fall winter spring this is our entire school. So um are at risk it's 75.3 74.1 and then 68.2
024to those students were are and this is um proficient and advanced. So this is where we want to keep moving the the pendulum this way. Um then you can see here this is just the elementary school. And now to be fair, a middle school wasn't using Ames Web. They're not in this data yet. But then you can see we had an increase here moving over to proficient and advanced. And then here is it's by grade. So this is first grade. This is our second grade, third grade. I just pulled this screenshot because it started to get like you saw really small. So I thought let's just keep it here. But yeah, I there's more to this table. And again, I was trying to be thoughtful about um you know confidentiality and those things too. This
025allows us to see as we talk about school. So this is the first time that we're all pieces that are out there. Instead of looking at things individually, we can put it into one warehouse where we can actually this allows us to have conversations around data teachers decision around things that we can talk about and how parents see how Yeah, there it's they're even going to have it as like a dashboard on your phone. Well, you'll be able to know immediately how they did on Ames web um what interventions they're in. Um you know, as a school, we have to decide like what we want to um kind of encourage them to see and that'll be more conversations, but it's good stuff. Not great. Yeah, absolutely. Yes. Exactly. Yeah. And so I think we're seeing
026that. I'm hoping that we'll see even more gains this year um because the teachers are feeling really comfortable with the curriculum and we're our goal for the building this year is to really dive into interventions because we know we can get the most bang for our buck. Uh like addressing the skills that the students need help in and helping move them forward because here's an example. If they can't decode the word, they're not going to read fluently. So just figuring out what skill is lagging and then helping them to achieve that skill and then move the pendulum. So all right Kim I'm ready. So then this Yeah. Oh yeah. We want to go back. That's okay. Absolutely. Yes. So those happen in our PLC meetings. What we'll do is we'll we'll bring up the data
027here, but we'll also have classroom data. Um, so you'll be talking about, okay, these students um are struggling in reading fluency. What is going on there? Is it the decoding? Is it they don't know blends of words? And so then we try to diagnose that there. And then that's when we do it during our advantage time. We break into small groups and help those students get the support they need. Anyone below the 25th percentile um is in our title programs or they might also be a special ed student. So they're getting support from special ed as well. And we've tightened those programs up a little bit this year with special ed and title. They're all using the same resource so that we can see they can flow fluidly in between those two things. So but
028great question. This is our individual student data. So their names would have been over here and I just pulled those out. But then you can see um their risk level, their accuracy. Um and then for winter we have our winter risk level, our growth accuracy. Um and then what's really interesting is that you'll have students that have really high accuracy, but their growth is not. So they're still you can see here that they're still really working at learning to decode words and sound them out. So that that's where we start to say, "Okay, this guy right here, this little fella, we're going to need to look at an intervention for them and how can we can support them better." So any questions about this one? It's really fascinating and I'm so excited. I love data.
029You have a I do a a parent a profile. Okay, we're ready, Kim. Yep. Okay. So, this I kind of took any um material off of here that would um have our confidentiality piece on this. You can see their attendance. You'll see their um grades for elementary. Then we go over here. This is So, this is um a fourth grader. So, there we're using FastBridge to progress monitor them a little bit. So, we can see that they're still working on um their proficiency there. And then we can see um the risk level or where they are. This is that exact path that we've talked about. That's was our used to be our universal screener, but we're switching as web. Um I want you to notice here like this student would be a student that we'd
030be worried about for at risk for behavior. And so I'm going to show you that intervention next. And then here we have notes. So this would have showed like okay they're in a in a intervention for behavior already and here's how we're going to support them. And so then Kim if you want to go to that next one. This shows that our student was on a check-in and checkout and I just started to pilot because we had been doing check-in and checkout through infinite campus. So we started to put it into next path and I actually I just did one slide of this but you can look into periods too where it would shift like okay they're doing really well in science but when they go to reading they're really struggling. So what's happening in
031reading that that student is having a hard time and how can we support them? Is it is it the reading piece of it or is there something else that's triggering them in that classroom that we need to support them on? So, it's just super comprehensive and it helps us just serve our students and our community better because we can really diagnose and get to the bottom of things. It's comprehensive, but it's about as transparent as you get. We spend so much time getting our standards in line, getting those things. All that brought us to a point that now we can tell our parents your daughter is excelling her advancement outcome for their behavior. Um, as we roll this out, all this data goes into it's a way for adults in the school to plan their
032day to make sure that we're all but it's also every exciting thing to think about. There's only a few districts that are because of what they've done before it's still being a lot you I think you started with by saying something about behavior. So yeah, can we Sure. So Kim, can you go back one slide? This shows like um major incidents um through our BLT and our PBIS teams. We've decided like these are incidents that the student would be in the principal's office for. So I'm calling home or those type of things. the minors. We had started to do most of those through like a Google form, but we're going to move to um Next Path this year because when a when a teacher clicks on a minor, they can say, "Oh, they are um
033I'm trying to think of what a minor would be." Um leaving the classroom um without asking the teacher. So, we would talk like, "Okay, why is that happening in this situation?" So once we get to to a place where a student has more um than three of these incidents, we now think about, okay, they might need some support. And what does that look like? Well, one of the ways you can add support is through adding another trusted adult to their group of adults in the building. So they go into what we call a check-in and checkout. And then um they get a chance to check in with them during their day. They set a goal of like, I'm not going to walk out of the room without asking. And how many times did I did
034do that and did I um meet my goal and that's where if you can go to the next slide Kim again like 80% is where we're hoping they'll get. So every class has its own 012 and if we see them you know trending and if they trend like let's say this friend continued to trend upward we would exit them from the program because then they have met their their goal and they no longer need to be in it. This little guy had a couple positive days, but he's been kind of right% look at this and say, "Okay, well check out what's the next So currently um we print reports out for them that they can have them. This is not live yet, but yeah, we we have given those type of reports to parents. They
035come up really helpful in like if we're having a functional behavioral assessment where we're talking about, okay, we seem to be not supporting in the right way. What do we need to do? What are our next steps? So like let's look at the data. Where is it showing us that those next steps need to be? So, it's all in progress, but wanted to kind of get you a Yeah, Chuck, this might get too far, but Okay. How often is this data entered? Is this like entered daily? Mhm. For this intervention, it would be entered daily. Daily. Okay. By the teacher. Um, actually um by Well, it's going to be entered by our guidance counselor. I was doing it at the end just to kind of give us a model to see what the next steps
036would be. So, how many students are you entering this data for a given day? Well, um there is about 25 that I would say that were in our check-in and checkout program. Okay. Because that's like our first tier of intervention. The next one we would add maybe a peer mentor. Um we and with the help of the middle school um we used a lot of mentors to again another layer of support to know that we care about them and we want to see them succeed. Sometimes the the next tier will be path counseling because um that's another um place we have here. We sometimes will do small groups like if they're having trouble with relationship building. They'll do like a small group. That's another intervention. And Tracy, the psych, myself and Bonnie meet once a
037week to look at where they're trending and if everybody's doing okay. Yep. We're like, okay, they can be historically before we use data. Do you would be like, it seems like the great one is you walk by the lunchroom, boy, the lunchroom is loud. we should do something about that. And and it was more gut reactions to student behavior instead of losing data to really make good decisions on what we need to do. This allows us once we have a student that we we've identified as two major right or or minors. Um they get a check and check out. We get a daily progress report. So this is part of the database that we're really trying to drive our decisions with data. It's taken us I I won't even tell you how when we found
038next contest because this is what we're looking for. We've been looking for Yeah, no problem. Thank you. I think it's Sus's turn now. Yep. Okay. No, just waiting. So, under strong culture, we um just wanted to do a shout out for our end of the year staff recognitions and celebrations. That's a time that after the students leave on the last day of school, the staff comes together just to celebrate uh teachers that have been teaching in the district for uh 10 plus years, recognizing them, but also anyone retiring. And so, we had three retirees, Lisa, Trisha, and Bob. Um, so we wanted to take some time to recognize them as well and it was really a great time and thank you to Tommy's Pizzeria um for the pizzas and uh just the camaraderie. So summer
039work for PBIS and BLT as Becky had talked about where our teachers are doing professional development, our leadership teams at each of the levels are coming together and doing the planning and preparation for next school year already as well. Um so tomorrow is um elementary, middle school, and high school have already met. High school will meet again in July um to finish up our planning uh with that. All right. And our strong community connections, the four kids, um we did music in the park on June 12th. We had lots of volunteers. It was a very cold night, which was kind of interesting. Um but still a lot of people were out and um very successful. I they told me the amount they made, but I don't don't remember exactly what it was. We're also starting
040our parent advisory committee. Um oh, and I want to give a shout out to Bobby Joe Pluth. She was organizing the um volunteers for kids music in the park for the four kids. And she's also been such a great asset to us and an advocate as a parent. She mentioned she's like, "I'd love to help build more connection between parents and admin and teachers at the elementary school level." So, she's her and CC DOM were like, "Could we create like a parent advisory committee?" So, um we asked for nominations. We have like 18 friends that were nominated. So, we're going to meet um on August I I don't know the date off the top of my head, but um just to talk through it and then talk about what our mission and vision is for
041that group and kind of go from there. But it's all about building that community and that connection to our classrooms. And then I'm going to turn it over to Susan. And then last, just wanted to uh thank the village of Random Lake and the Random Lake EMTs for uh coordinating with us for the annual triathlon. While it was a rainy day, it was still a fun day and I think uh the kids did a great job and really had a good time um even despite the weather. Lastly, I want to end with student acknowledgements. So, we have our uh spring sports all conference. So, we have our softball allconerence where we have first team allconerence unanimous vote Meline as well as first team allconerence for Olivia and Danica. Second team all conference Leila, Ava and
042Lily. So, shout out to all the girls for a wonderful uh softball season. Baseball all conference, we had first team allconerence pitching and infielding and that was Decker. And then first team allconerence Chase and Reed. second team all conference, Payton and Logan. And then two honorable mentions, Jeffrey and Griffin. And well done to the baseball student uh baseball players. And then girls soccer. Uh they were the sectional winners and at this time they were statebound, but they have played at state. um did a phenomenal job and the semi-finals game was really it came down to double overtime and then they did a shootout and so Random Lake came out on top on the semi-finals and then state the championship game was Saturday. Reie was there. It was hot as blazes. I had to take a
043a car um you know break just to get some air conditioning, but they played hard. They fought hard while they came in second two to zero. Um it really was phenomenal season. So well done to the girls. Uh Bonia was second team all conference and Rebecca was honorable mention. And then track, we had one student that made it into state and that was Payton. And he went to state in the 300 hurdles. I believe he placed seventh if I'm um not mistaken. So well done to all of our students in the spring sports. I had a question about strong connections. uh a couple meetings ago from the community and express some concern. Yep. Any issues at all? Zero issues. Yep. And I was on um the one particular corner. I manned that table and I
044had it off to the side so that way there was no obstruction to any kind of traffic. And also Austin used different kind of cones so that way cars could drive right over top of them. They were just the little flat ones. So they didn't need to, you know, go around or or stop to move them or anything like that. Yep. Oh, sure. Okay. Yep. Yep. No, sounds good. Thank you for Yep. Thank you for making me aware. We did not have any committee meetings for the board. So then um we have X12 reporting. Yeah. So actually you can give it Yeah, give it to Terry. Um you're doing such a good job. I know. You don't even want to gohead. Um there's new requirements uh that we need to all schools need to report
045any police infractions that happen at this address. Um, so we thought this would be a good time for you guys to see Gary again ended the year kind of rap some questions about the CRO position. Um, but I asked her to just talk a little bit about what infections will be reporting to uh, right? Yep. So through the course of the year, we had eight referrals or citations issued. And that doesn't even mean it was eight students. I think it was maybe five cuz some were repeat. So out of the eight, five were for vapes. So it we're not talking lifebreaking stuff here. Three of the vapes were THC or marijuana type vapes. Um one theft and two disorderly conducts. And one of those disorderly conducts wasn't even a student. It was a parent that
046came to school and kind of got on one of our teachers. So, I called the sheriff's department because that was disorderly. And even at that time, it didn't sound like they were going to even make an arrest. But now, we just found out about this uh requirement. I kind of did it at the end of year just running our address, seeing the citations and the arrests and referrals made for our address. And apparently that that parent was uh issued a citation for disorderly conduct. So, I would say um very good as far as I'm concerned. Um if there's any question, I kind of fill you in a little more if there's anything you want to know. But like I said, it's five vapes, three of them THC, two disorderly conducts, and one theft. We They're
047all over. I mean between Susan and Travis and other kids reporting on other kids. Yeah. So So anytime no no uh second I believe it's the second one we refer yeah if it's a THC vape that automatically gets reported because it's under the the drugs. Um, if it's a regular vape, um, there's school discipline. And then the second vape, I contact the sheriff to issue a citation. And then, um, there's more school discipline. And, uh, Chuck, you're on the village board, right? I know when when they had the THC one, I told the sheriff to write village ordinance because then the village gets the money instead of the county. and and he did, but then he came by and I don't know if he reported it to the village or not, one of the THC
048ones. I said, "Well, issue village tobacco." And he came back says, "Your village doesn't have a tobacco ordinance." And I'm like, "All these years of the 70s and 80s and people smoking cigarettes, there's no." So, that's only what I heard from him. But he said he reported it to the village board or someone down a village hall. I'm like, "Yeah, we need to cuz if if they're going to come here and make a a citation or whatever, I think the village should get, you know, the money out of it instead of the county." So, not aware of that. Yeah. But if you want to look at it, he said he mentioned it to somebody. But we had a good a good drugs one because he was surprised. He goes, "Your drugs ordinance is like $150
049more than the county ordinance." And I'm like, "Well, Ram Village." So, that storm coming. Yeah. So, Anything else? Well, we have one where we're putting the temporary daycare and we've had the door guys look at it because they're set electronically now and even though it it's red and it's supposed to be locked, it isn't grabbing right at Ender time when it's green or or like the last time some of the workers manually unlocked it and didn't lock it when they left. And so we ran into that this last time because when this construction's up, my goal is not to get any more of those little sheriff cards that say you got to open door. You know, that would be a happy new It would. So I found Todd's box and there's just there's guys in
050there that are retired already from through the years of finding open doors. But so that it Oh, and the roof starts moving. All right. Thank you. Thanks for coming, Carrie. You don't have to stick around for Yeah, you can just leave with the storm. Yeah. Well, you can stick if you want. Hey, did you get that video from that other name? Perfect. Thank you, sir. Okay. Um approval of insurance changes. This is uh from the budget committee last right? Yes. So these are final numbers. Um we are so fortunate to be doing 6.47 instead of what was the first number we had? 40% increase. So thank you to our friends at um I can't think Dan Govin Horton Group. Um, we worked as a committee together. We're always very transparent with this. So, we brought
051our insurance committee together. We made the decision as a group that this was the right way to go. Um, so yeah, this is a pretty pretty easy yes. All right. Is there a motion to approve the change? So, move. Chuck, is there a second? Katie, any questions or discussion? I just wanted to understand, so the deductible's going up and are we helping out with that? Yes. Health savings or so our deductible two years ago was 357,000 and but we deferred let's say at $7,000 families got a $3,000 HR um just individual and then family. Yeah. Yeah. So, so if if if you're an individual, your deductible is $3,300, but the district gives you $1,500 back that you can use towards your deductible or you can save and towards a retirement. Um, last year we had
052a really good renewal, so we dropped our um deductible, but we also dropped our HR. So, now we're going we're going back up. The nice thing we can say is we're actually going up to a number less than was two years ago. Um, and we're taking our HR and been reimbursing as much as we did two years ago. So, we're still under where we were two years ago. Um, it's just unfortunate. We we finally had a nice trend. We dropped it down to a two $4,000 deductible. We had to be one of the best around. We were able to afford it. And then this year was a year that we had nearly a 200 uh percent experience in insurance. It's part of being a small district, right? Um a couple babies, a couple hips, a
053couple knees, and before you know it, you're not paying in enough in this world that we have healthcare. So, um fortunately, we have a good process with our teachers, with our staff. We make sure they know what's happening so we can we're all on the same page with this. So, this is a change to a new carrier. Yeah. And were there teachers and staff on the insurance committee? Was that available? Yeah. So, we have teachers, staff. Um, I'm excited about this change and you know I'm rainbows and unicorns about everything. But, um, this one's interesting because it's a Medicare referenced insurance company and and just to kind of put it in layman's terms as much as possible, if you have Medicare and you go and get a knee replacement, the government will only give the
054hospital 30 let's say $35,000. Okay? If I go get a knee replacement with my let's say my the insurance we have right now that my insurance would pay somewhere up to $50,000 for that same knee replacement. So who we're switching to is a company that says why is one knee $35,000 and another knee $50,000. So they actually have people that negotiate and say you can do a knee replacement for $35,000 for the government. We'll give you 42,000. And they have pre-arrange pricing with Aurora on every kind of procedure you could have done. So, we're predominantly under Aurora. We we have some other staff that aren't under Aurora. Um but they are covered. This is in a narrow network. People can still see their providers. So, I feel like we have a another new product that's
055out there. Um but this one's kind of interesting because they're actually referencing a number that's out there for every procedure possible. and then negotiating from there. So stay tuned. We'll see how this year goes, but we're switching again as of July 1. Do we feel we're pretty competitive with surrounding districts? What we're paying I would say we what we're paying and everything else. I I would say that we are um probably one of the better districts in what we have for our staff, what they pay towards it. um as we were having some good renewals um we allowed the staff to put that onto their salaries. So as we talk to new staff or we talk to staff now what is a family plan a month? How much do our staff pay for a family
056plan a month? $124 a month for a family plan. So yeah, it is uh we kick in uh a whole bunch. Yeah. What is it? What do we kick in? What is What does a family plan cost the district for a year? And we're I would say we're in the comparable of what the other districts we might be a little higher than some of the other local districts with that. for the minutes. Who made the motion and who was it? Thank you. All right. Any other discussion? All those in favor, please say I. I. Opposed. Motion carries. Next we have the um approval is needed to continue the 66301 virtual charter school with KE. Is there a motion to continue that agreement? Katie, is there a second? Chuck, any questions or discussion? No students last
057year. Have we ever had students that actually We've had a student for a couple months, right, that did this. We have a potential student coming up this next year that may be using it. So, this is a really nice Susan. It just kind of a nice option to have if needed, right? Does it cost us anything? So, we get to keep the student enrollment. Uh so this is this is one that we get to keep the student enrollment and then we pay the virtual school an x amount. So actually in some ways we would if a student were to stay here and go to this virtual school we would make more money than if um they were to go directly there. So it's it's with open enrollment laws and things like this. There's there's a
058couple benefits to to this. So we only pay the students. Yes. Any other questions? All those in favor, please say I. Opposed? Motion carries. Next, we have uh school fees. Um, Mike, are you going to speak to that at all or I can say, you know, for the meals, for the food service this year, we ran a little bit in the um in the red. Um, so we are trying to to do this to to just get us back in the black. There's other mitigating circumstances to this with the referendum and some other things. So, we feel like this is similar to what what other districts are paying and and helps uh Amy keep uh that group doing what we need to. Okay. This part also we're staying the same, right? So, the other stuff
059the non So, is that accurate? that um it's basically staying the same the general yes okay is there a motion to approve Katie is there a second second Brian any questions or discussion all those in favor please say I opposed motion carries Uh, next we have the 202526 WIA membership renewal. Is there a motion to approve? So, Brian, is there a second? I'll second. Chuck, any questions or discussion? Have any conversation among superintendents or anything about not being a like we make some stupid decisions and think maybe if some of the schools rebelled against it. I know that we need to be the leader in that, but it, you know, they there was a uh competitor to the WIA about 15 years ago and it just never takes off, right? Like nobody wants a state
060championship in the in WNL, right? They won in the WIA. So, yeah, I know the Madison's been trying to put some um legislation out there that they have to be open their books and be more transparent like a public school. So I I think we're represented by other schools, right? It's run by a board. It just I I don't know. Sometimes I I I think everyone could share this frustration. Is it all like division one schools on that board? Are there any No, no, they have small school, medium school, private schools. So do they have a cross representation of they have more people that are in private schools on the board? I would say it's a it's a good cross-section. Um I just lost a couple lawsuits, right? Like maybe they'll start being more reasonable.
061Yeah. You know what? I think they're afraid of their own shadow of making too many choices on some things because every time they make a decision, they're in litigation one way or the other. So, I I think they're in a tight spot, right? You know, and it's it's just one of those things. People care more about sports than they do academics. So, everyone has an opinion. And you know, I I will say for the state tournament with soccer, we got to see it firsthand. I thought they did a nice job, right? You know, those things went well. Um during co I thought they did nothing but just throw it at the schools and and weren't willing to make any decision on that. So they have their good and their bad, right? Just like any organization.
062So don't have any like boss, right? So it's frustrating because like have anybody Right. They do have a board, but it's such a collective waste that What do Patty, do we know what their annual cost is for WIA? It's Is it It's under 10, right? Is it like five to six WIA for the uh registr every year? What is What is the cost for WIA? It's a few thousand for our size. Yeah. Look it up once and we'll get it to you. Not a big deal. I just Not. Yeah. No. Just needed to talk. Yeah. No. No. Good place for it. Any other questions, gripes, frustrations? No, we won't go there because we all have those. Oh my. We'll be here all night. All those in favor, please say I. I. Opposed. Motion carries. Uh,
063next we have professional staff resignations. Is there a motion to accept with thanks for their years of service? Uh we have Trisha with 14 years in the middle school. Martina in the high school uh English teacher for one year and Jenna in elementary music. I have a motion that we accept them all. All right, Chuck and Katie. Any other any questions or discussion? All those in favor, please say I. I opposed. Motion carries. Then we have uh new professional staff uh for elementary music. Jennifer, anybody want to take a stab at that? Lukan House. Lukan House. Okay. Uh is there a motion to approve? Katie, is there a second? Second, Brian. Any questions, discussion? All those in favor please say I. I. Opposed. Motion carries. Then we have a notification of supports or salaried staff
064resignations. We have Bethany from the elementary administration administrative assistant for two years and Carol Young and food service for one year. Those are just notifications. And then we um the next two items, the new support staff and new salary staff. We don't have any. So just placeholding. All right. And that takes us toformational items. Um just real quick, booster club. Um we're having some prelim preliminary conversations. Um it's getting harder and harder for parents. Um we have a bunch of some wonderful booster club presidents and uh executive uh that their sons and daughters are graduating. So we're looking at some creative ways of trying to help the booster club keep going. Um we're looking at possibility youth apprenticeship like a student help run uh organization trying to do some things to keep booster club alive
065um and going from there. So, um, as you're hearing some stuff, I just wanted to let you know we're trying to be creative, uh, to make sure this is a very important component to the things we do. Is there a way the school can take on a little bit of this to let our parents make the decisions, but some of that day-to-day operations could be a student? Uh, because when it comes down to it, booster club is a business, right? So, if we have a youth apprentice that wants to to do this kind of work, it's something that we could give him a really good or a good opportunity. So, stay tuned. Um, nothing is for sure yet, but just want to let you know. Uh, Luxembourg update. Uh, just got back last week. Fantastic
066visit. Um, our students, our staff over there had a fantastic. Uh, weather was great. Um, I think we had one day of a little bit of rain. Um, conversations, the host families were fantastic. Um, you know, one of the things, you know, there's so many things, but but having the conversations, our students with their students, uh, with with, uh, with their students, I had an opportunity, I was telling some of you to present to one of our partner schools that's, um, in Germany, but it's half Luxembourg, half German. And one of the questions the students ask me about the US is, you know, why is the why why are the politics so screwed up right now? you know what's going on there and and and and it was kind of great because I had spent
067uh the first three days we were in London and then we went over to Luxembourg for eight days and uh I kind of joked with these high school there juniors and seniors right I'm like I'll be honest with you I just spent the last three days in London and I will tell you after watching the BBC for the last three days I'm not sure I want to go back to the US if if you look at the US through the eyes of what some of these news outlets are are sharing um I can see where people get a negative negative connotation of some of the things that are happening here. Um, and one of their students came back and I thought this was really astute. He came back and said, you know, it seems like
068from our visit, because he had been over here um this spring, it seems like over in in Europe, you know, Luxembourg is different than Germany than than Brussels, that states are more independent and the federal government stuff doesn't impact you as much. It's more of the state piece. like in a lot of cases, you come talk to our students and their students, we see there's a lot more in common. Um, so it's it's kind of great for these conversations to happen and some of the stereotypes that happen from these big pieces can be broken down through conversations. So to me, that was one of those why you do this and why you see and find out that people across the big pond are very similar to us. So the nice thing is they all speak
069English over there. So, it made it pretty easy there. Um, and then legislative updates. I just wanted to throw it out there. Um, the the state budget is not going to be easy. The last thing I heard today was there's some now in Madison that are saying, you know what, let's not even do a new budget. Let's just keep the budget we have for the next two years. Um, if that happens, it'll be hugely detrimental. It will put us in a position of uh possibly not being able to afford raises, trying to do some things. We're good for next year, but as you look at the cost of everything increasing that the state is trying to negotiate and not give an increase to schools is just uh it's unfathomable. Um, I think the best thing
070this board can do, if you look at it, 15 years ago, the state of Wisconsin was one of the top 10 states in the nation for funding public education. Last year, we're in the bottom half. So, and we keep dropping. So, um, as they keep funding charter schools and or vulture schools, um, they seem to want to do it off of the back of public education. So I do think there's some behind our negotiations that are going on with decoupling and some other things that um people are keeping close to the chest. So I do have some optimism that we will see a budget that allows us to give raises and and will be appropriate, but um just want it's always good to prepare for the worst and hope for the best, right? So yeah.
071Okay. Um we do have a closed um session on the agenda. Is there a motion to go into close session as permitted under Wisconsin state statutes chapter 19 section 19851C to discuss contract negotiations and we will remain in close session to discuss a personnel matter? Katie, is there a second? I mean Reie, is there a second? Katie, this requires a roll call vote. Brian, yes. Katie I vote yes. Just reading. Yes. All right. We are in close session. Thank you for coming out tonight. We will not be taking any action.
