002calendar so it was calendar one that we had talked about was the one that had received the the uh most most support by staff so that's the one we intend to submit to the state if you don't mind i' just ask you to approve the calendar so I can go ahead and submit it to the state oh okay okay make a motion to approve motion by Randy second second by [Music] Dennis any other questions or concerns on that calendar all in favor the opposed motion carries five to zero so I'll submit that to the State Department of Education they'll review it to make sure that there's U everything's in line with all the uh code requirements if there's any concerns I'll bring it back to you otherwise they'll give us the green light that it's
003been approved and we'll move forward with it you all right absolutely move down to our presentations this evening our school Spotlight is encouraging growth in attendance academics behaviors at Serita Koba middle school with principal Brian Davis so when we were trying to think about our academic Spotlight we just started thinking about all of the excitement and the buz coming out of CK midle about the Mr Davis stamp and I just thought it was really timely because he's not only using it as a a way to boost academics buts attendance and behaviors so we're excited to welcome him this evening I appreciate it um nothing I like more to talk about uh other than myself of course is my school so um this was actually an accidental thing I guess most good idea is you stumble
004on by accident this was a gag gift by my cousin so I open this up at Christmas time and I'm like yeah great what am I supposed to do with this so one day I take it back to School uh in January and I go to the classrooms and I see some kids doing some good things and I just stamp their papers and they go crazy over and then the teachers were like well I had a good lesson why don't I get stamp and I'm like okay uh then this isn't the first shirt this is actually the second shirt um a teacher brought me a shirt that her sister has a shirt shop she made so then a shirt got made then ideas started coming and I was like well miss Queen's always saying what
005can we do outside the box to encourage attendance so I was like okay so I went we have one kid she's a seventh grader her attendance was absolutely deplorable last year it was 60 plus unexcused absences absolutely terrible this year she's got her stuff together and I've praised her from day one Mr Diamond and I both have told her how great she's doing so when I announced over the intercom this is what we were doing I went straight to the classroom she was in she was the first kid I stamped I announced to the whole class the reason why she got the stamp is because she had the most approved attendance of the entire school and the idea was I'll go around stamping people for good behavior and it's just doing the little things doing
006the things that you're supposed to do that that you get recognized for by other students or teachers holding the door little things like that helping another student out um of course your attendance academics somebody improving their academics or just have so I go around the first month of January I stamp all these kids names um I go meet with Tiffany the owner of gos and Kenova and I told her my crazy idea and I said would you partner with us and we'll do like lunch with Mr Davis which is just really a pizza party for them and we CH she's like yeah I'll give you however many pizzas you want and we chose 10 names so I had a wheel up video I spun the wheel uh then we promoted it on Facebook everybody the
007community jumps in thanks her it's great for her great for the kids then I drive down to Burger King I tell them what we did they'll like we'll give you $510 gift cards so then the next month um we we go around we stamp everybody and so here's the video where we choose everybody for Burger King and of course you can't like do it without the crown so hopefully it works it is ready to do the names for the month of February all right let's get started here we go I have a little our first number is 20 our second number I'll leave the names up in a minute oh here you go is our third number is 17 our fourth number is eight fifth number is 21 and can you guess who the sponsor
008of February was that's right it's Burger King of Kenova so number 21 is bacer great all right number eight is Zuri wasle number 17 is h a Luther number 10 is Sarah Bradberry and what number was this one that's the imaginary oh number 20 which would be Charlotte Pitts congratulations guys and Miss SE will show you the reward for the month of March that's right you gonna freak 10 so we will do 10 names in the month of March keep up the good work so two of the names I won't tell you tell you the names on there but two of those names don't get and Friends they're not athletes they're not in any clubs they're not in any extracurricular so two of those kids it was great that their name got chosen I was
009really happy and of course I when I'm out there doing that I I can't just pick everybody I'd love to it's got to be random but I was really pumped and the girl with attendance the first month when I did choose the names her hers was one of the 10 I was really excited she did get to go to the pizza party um I was really fingers crossed and I think she was like number seven or eight cuz we were getting down through there and I was like oh I really want her to get this so the first one was gos the second one was Burger King and of course Bulldog graphic is donating 10 shirts he's goingon to make the shirts once we pull the names and get the sizes oh I've already told
010the kids how we're gonna do the names Miss renie has a bulldog named Vinnie so I'm gonna take all the names and stack up a big pyamid of uh green Solo cups and Vinnie's going to run through them and the 10 farthest cups that go from the line is going to be the 10 names chosen the kids are already pumped so um businesses have started calling me parents have called me wanting to sponsor this which is amazing State Farm has reached out I've already uh partnered with Austin so I've got the last two months covered Austin's is going to sponsor I think 10 of us walking down to Austin's to get um Austin's ice cream and then can my name go in there uh well sure I'll put you in there put my name in
011there so then stay Farm but also what they don't know is there's a surprise uh coming there is a sponsor on the last month which if they can continue this goal um and I told you guys about this last week yeah we we were told early on that we were at 16.9 and just recently we've actually dropped down to 16.3 is our um chronic absenteeism and I've told them if they can stay under 17 that there'll be a reward so there'll be be a double uh in May and Mr Davis himself's going to sponsor a school R reward whether it be I bring somebody down to the school uh like Austin's ice cream truck or whatever and we just that afternoon we do inter murals for everybody or games or whatever outside and reward everybody
012because of their abs or because of their attendance and being toward the end of school so everybody will come because those last few days everybody likes to drop off really proud of this statistic that they've kept that up and we've H been hit by the flu like everybody else we talk about the strive for five we just showed the recent video that was posted uh by the way County Board that had our students from last year in it that we really excited so it's a statistic and it's something that we talk about this has also helped with um my suspensions were really high last year we had some issues with um kids getting in trouble on our DET our suspensions our detentions our in schools we've cut that all in half I'd like to think
013that this has helped with that um so we're really excited about cutting all that down and then our our state Benchmark data that we showed you guys last year we have improved um we've got the red to go down and we've seen growth across the board so we decided to do something fun instead of just preaching to them all the time and like I said it was just an accident it wasn't something that I planned on doing and I just started it in January because my cousin gives me this stupid stamp and she's loving every minute of it by the way um she thinks it's hilarious so one day this is Bradberry Miss Bradberry she actually got chosen for Burger King and she was really excited she's a awesome little sixth grader I shouted out
014to her on Facebook this was a snow day she had signed up to be a page she could have easily just said it's a snow day nobody she's the only one that went that day her parents still took her she got great parents she wanted to still go up there she was the only one uh from our school that went that day so I shot it out to her on Facebook told her she was Mr Davis approved her name got put in there and she actually got chosen for the one of the $10 gift cards for Burger King so all the K and I'll walk into a room and the kids will look for this stupid little thing they'll be like you got your stamp on you and I'll be like oh I got it
015and they'll constantly well I want to stamp I want to St I'm like you gotta earn it then Jill said for love the bus month she's like you guys can donate stuff we'll do a drawing I was like well that's not good enough for me because I love my bus driver so I want to do something good for them so I had these shirts made that says this bus driver is Mr Davis approved by Mr Davis says love the bus 2025 you would have think I gave him $100 bill exactly I didn't pose them for this picture they met up somewhere posed for this picture then this is a picture of Mr Diamond my right hand at CK mle they felt like he got left out so they made their own pens of Mr damond
016so we took this picture we shout out to them on Facebook and you ought to see the comments go in there and read how the community is thanking them and the bus drivers are on there saying we appreciate the comments and that stuff doesn't happen very often and the fact that we could do that for the bus drivers at such a low cost at such a goofy little gift you'd be surprised how much they appreciate that it it's more of a heartfelt thing when I went out gave them to them that day their smiles said enough so this thing's turned into a little bit uh more than what we anticipated it to be next year we're trying to figure out a way to get Mr Diamond's face on there with something other than approved by
017and we may back and forth between me and Mr Diamond the kids would probably go nuts over that as well so something innocent that's really taken off at CK middle and we're having a lot of fun with and so are the kids so I've even got people if you look the comments when I said this was going to be the reward I've got adults saying why don't you sell those that'd be a good fundraiser and I'm like I don't know if I want that many of my faces running around out there might terrify my children and my wife but uh everybody wants one of these stupid shirts so we're having fun with it so I think it's great and you know just like that little stamp you start out with that if one kid gets
018something well then the rest of them want to you know just that it doesn't matter you stamp that you and so well oh well I want I want somebody stamp my paper I want to stamp my paper you know so and I try to go in every day and stamp for five and and show them on a video that's random that I'm not picking these kids that and I'm trying to do something different every month to pick them uh and do it fun and do the videos and get everybody behind it so and then like I said at the end when I go ahead and reward everybody then they'll see everybody get something out of it too great I appreciate it and again it wasn't my idea I just took I just took it Ram
019with it what dides your stamp say it this is the exact stamp oh this is the exact stamp yeah it's really this is exactly what the St this is the St yeah silly me I thought it might say good job or something like that on it not Mr Davis now I guess you took my face off of a post off of a picture on Facebook yeah and then found this place or strange your things yeah and she made this picture and then like I said you just got she's a I think she's 38 or something her both of her parents are died so she lives by herself now and she still stays in touch with with me and my family and she always sends the goofiest Christmas presents and this was hilarious and everybody had
020a big kick out of it and uh she gets a huge kick out of it the more I post about it so for sure she lives in dod's County uh by herself but she absolutely uh is thrilled that it's turned into something she didn't mean for it to turn into that either so that's pretty awesome great job Brian thank you very much you are welcome thanks for having me I appreciate it all right any other good news got the State Basketball Tournament begins tomorrow evening and uh Wayne High girls play tomorrow evening and Spring Valley High School girls play tomorrow evening as well I think they play back to back I think it's 5:15 7:30 715 or immediately following okay um and then if they win then they will play on Friday morning and again
021back to back so we're excited about the tournament starting and then some of our boys teams are competing this week trying to make it to Charleston so we'll see how that goes and then um I wanted to let you know that Lauren Lauren Hensley the counselor at Buffalo has once again been named the West Virginia middle school counselor of the Year wow and so I think she was named the counselor of the Year back in 2022 yeah she's received that honor again so just wanted to let you know that all right all right informational items special meeting on Tuesday March the 18th beginning at 4 at cogg elementary and then uh we'll follow that with one a visit to Vincent middle beginning around 5:15 regular meeting on Tuesday March 25th at 6 here in the
022Board conference room um one date I want you to hold is April the 24th okay we're going to plan on doing our teacher of the year dinner and our service person of the year dinner of March the 24th okay I'm having cataract surgery on the 22nd but I'll try to be there March the 24th or April I'm sorry April 24th April 24th okay so say six o'clock what what time you we usually started at 6 PM same place at the Methodist Church yeah I'll try to come hopefully I can see by two days I Pat yeah all right construction project updates uh the only thing that we're actively having built right now is down at the Wayne Elementary School the MIP project there uh the decking is complete on the roof um the electricians have
02390% of the rough end completed on the interior of the building wow um they going to start the actual uh final Roofing on the building shortly and then the brick is uh been reported to me at 95% complete the the brick work that's occurring down there so we're we're moving along so hopefully the weather holds and uh make some real progress here well I just wanted youall to know there were people working there that's why I sent the picture I saw that okay yeah they warmed me up on the roof with for a selfie and I wouldn't do it that's the only update I have all right I think we have any no delegations this see no delegations superintendent reports yes I don't have anything no board directives or board reports uh actually a board
024directive something I'd like to for us to consider at a future meeting would be just just a review and see what we have in terms of policies with where I mean we going to let the court proceeding you know run its course but we know we had an employee reportedly assaulted yeah and I'd like to see what policy we're not going we're not a court of law but someone con convicted if someone be convicted of assaulting anyone in the school system employees students you name it to to the furthest extent we can do it I don't want that person to ever be on any premises whatsoever in the Wayne County school system and when I say forever I mean forever just it just really bothered me I mean we've had we had a couple of
025other instances previously where somebody would be accosted just this was a little yeah different yeah just like us to review what we can do public probably ought to be made aware again of the fact that that law says what a minimum of a year in jail and the uh and don't whe whether it's school or somewhere else if they attack a School employee they got problem I think it's a minimum of 10 days and a maximum of a year in prison and the battery on the school employee is actually it's listed as a misdemeanor um now I know in the particular matter that we're talking about misdemeanor a year or less yeah yeah I think there's going to be felonies involved with the uh with the incident that we're talking about that occurred well that
026could be a conspiracy too because you had to involved yeah but to the extent I what I'm thinking is the extent we can do it somebody well they commit assault it's a misdemeanor after okay they get out after a year that's you know legal what rights do we have at that point yeah I don't really want that person back on school property right certainly not just immediately after a year so the extent we can do something I'd like us to consider that I guess we'll have to check and see if it follow State yeah I know I know um what I'm familiar with is is that from from my seat the superintendent has the ability to um issue a letter and copy the local sheriff's office um um and restrict somebody from property for any
027length of time okay now you know there has to be cause there um but if there's cause then then that that can occur and that can be for long longer than a year you know it can be it can be a permanent thing and uh so there are some U there there is that Authority that's that's there we can look into see if we can actually put that in policy because I don't I don't know where it is in policy I know in practice that it's that it occurs um but as far as specifically in policy and and the board being able to to ratify those decisions we we'll take a look at that and who okay I don't mean to sound D but who decides whether it's a misdemeanor or Fel in who files
028charges I kind of thought by the police being there and being assaulted that it would a automatically be a fil Randy's a lawyer yes Randy I was a mere policeman okay but it's to the degree of the attack okay if it's a minor attack like an assault is even a threat you don't even have to hit them okay batteries when they get hit yeah okay if it's a grievous it becomes a felony otherwise it's a misdemeanor and if there's a conspiracy involved it really becomes a felony doesn't it Andy well I haven't done criminal law in decades but I mean who decides what the prosecuting attorney will decide what charges to attempt to bring who ultimately decides and I don't think a bench trial happens too much in criminals ultimately it'd be a jury of
02912 would decide whether or not the person is guilty of the charge and I think um and speaking with our school resource officer I think in code there's a u there's a uh some code regarding the uh assault on a public official and the performance of their duties and that I believe is actually a felony so I think I think that's one of the things that's considered anytime something like this Happ that would take our principles and even teachers yeah in consideration yeah I just think it's you know it's just so scary to think that we have people that could be in danger I mean right you know but just look at what happens to ball games oh I know I know we're out driving a car well people just there's too much people have
030too much rage right now right I mean but anyway so we'll take a look into that see what kind of Rights we have at that point and is our principal doing okay yeah okay yeah back to work or not not back to work okay um we will uh we're going to visit each of the school sites and um go over visitor management protocol emergency response plans if something similar would happen you know what steps are taken there and you know do they have what they need is there any anything physically we can do with barriers um in the offices to help with that type of thing so we're going to be doing that here in the next week week to two weeks we'll visit schol site because you know man traps don't don't help because
031you let them in right so yeah I just wonder yeah those schools they don't have anything to separate them so scary times yeah all right so we'll take a look into that so we can move on to our unfinished business which we have none new business superintendent recommends approval of the following action items additional items received prior to the time the meeting may be added discussion and or separate action of item may be requested by members of the board Andor the superintendent items are subject to change any blanks will be filled in prior to the meeting in the event a nominee with withdrawals we reserve the right to put the next candidate in that position so number one is consider for approval the recommended Personnel matters on pages one and two motion to approve motion
032by johanita second second second by Randy questions or concerns I just had a question I mean like on our I know I say this all the time but on our leave of absences and we know that it's FMLA and we know that if they have sick leave they get paid till the sick leave runs out right okay well then when that sickly Runs Out does it their job run out can they go ahead and can you still hold a job when they're not being paid for the job that they're on yes okay by being medical only a medical leave correct okay I thought that but I want to check because we've got some new employees that are you know getting these leaves and you know they don't have that many days or whatever and I
033just wonder so so still they can do that and they have five days and they take a whole year then they've got that year covered correct and you know it's a caseby casee basis right I know so um you know a year or two ago the board approved the doc day policy that you know doc days are not allowed so that kicks in right now if they have an approved medical leave and and we brought that to you and had you approve the leave then they're covered there's not going to be they're not going to be removed or anything I understand that and I know that because we've got I know I know of one employee that's really really sick yeah and may run out sick Le and all that and I understand that but
034you know it's just you think about these people that is some of them you can get a doctor ass sign anything and you know they're holding that job and you know not working so I just had that thought thank you any other questions concerns Personnel matters none all in favor anyos motion carries five to Z minutes uh consider for approval the voucher payments for February 2025 on pages 3 through 10 make a motion motion by Dennis second second by jonita any questions or concerns on those voucher payments 3 through anyone all right all in favor any opposed motion carries five to zero three and four if we can consider those collectively those are minutes I'd rather not okay we do them separately sure there's only two of them so that'll be easy okay three is

037motion to approve motion joh second second Randy any questions or concerns on those requisitions um I'm going to pull one of the requisitions okay page 28 that's one I was kind of looking at I wanted to know what that was that is replac M of U computers at the school okay it's pretty much schoolwide but that price is no longer valid oh okay so I just want to pull that okay purchase order page 28 okay you write that on here I got a question on 29 page 29 kitchen supplies and servicing needs is that a blanket purchase order and yes what page 29 it's the next page over okay I have a question and and I like I just like some clarification on that sure um we meet every two weeks why do we have
038to do these blanket things why can't we do purchases as they come in this is multiple times that I've saw these and I don't particularly care for just a blanket whenever the board meets every two weeks to look at things yeah the the reason for a blanket for Colonial would be like for example if we had a stove go out tonight right but they would give us two weeks to bring it before us I mean and and approve it they would not replace it and then well we're supposed to have the purchase order in place before the service happens yeah um so they would be without a stove for x amount of days before we could yeah you gota you gotta announce meeting tell what's coming up and everything by law it it really handcuffed
039things well no it would I mean that's not what it would do wouldn't handcuff things what would happen would be that when the Auditors came in they would look at the PO date and they would see that you approved it after the work had been done um and um for for the payment and and then it would be a finding in in our uh audits correct because is that not never that's never done I mean it comes up in the school audits but the general practice is we try to have the PO cut before the before the service occurs I was just going to say sometimes there's an emergency that you have to go ahead and buy something you have to go ahead and do the purchase order before we approve it for an emergency
040right and just like I see we don't these are things over $5,000 I understand all that I mean I do understand that I just I am not a fan of of these blanket purchase orders and I've expressed that since July when I started I don't like these blank checks if you will and uh considering this a small one Department of Finance for the state the say well use this as an example if we approve it $110,000 is that I think like a lawyer sometimes you take retainers if I get a retainer of $10,000 that doesn't mean use it all no yeah a matter of fact if the if at the end of the matter you may have to refund I mean if if we approve this we not just spent the $10,000 no it's just
041holding it not necessarily there and if if a stove goes out then the money's used if a stove doesn't go out then the money's not used so we don't we don't pay them $10,000 and then they do the work afterwards we have 10,000 set aside that's already approved that if we need to call them in to do work then they'll be they'll be reimbursed immediately as they do that work or if she needs something over five uh over under 5,000 she can get a piece of equipment correct you know I do I understand all that I know you do um it's just just the record to know that I do not like I'm telling you I don't really care for the 100,000 $150,000 blankets that's the ones that I bigger ones are the bigger ones
042are the ones that I'm not real 10,000 is a lot of money to me well what it is to me too 300,000 is even more money yeah exactly and we can go on to that all day and I understand that but I mean I'm just I'll look at the big picture and so many things going in our County and stuff and I'm just like you know what's the chances and this is hypothetical we approved $10,000 what's the chances of that not getting spent it's probably slim to none I mean I've been in the system a long time but we have to close out purchase orders at the end of the year yeah we have to close out anything that hasn't been spent yeah so I what do we typically what do you typically deal with
043when you're closing those POs out I mean we we'll run a list and review you know review the dates of them you have some that's P anything dated before Christmas chances are you're not going to use them we have you know we we tell people or I tell people get your POS in I'm going to close things you know get your invoices in and and typically we'll have POS we'll be cutting POS right up to today of the end of the year but the we generally try to take a I try to take a hard look and say okay if it's if it's past ail or these people really going to use this Mr Alexander writes c a PO for legal fees at the end of May probably we haven't got a bill for Chang
044are you know I call up here and talk to shelle or somebody say just it's pretty much a legit again the the accounting manual encourages use black to incover these funds that's what it is right and I really do understand that I'm not you know I'm not if you're looking to control the use of if you're looking to control the spending that's another thing but to encom the funds they encourage you to do this I I just GNA throw something else out there that I've heard multiple times if we don't use it we're gonna lose it I've heard that throughout my career and I'm just looking at the Times we're in I mean I'm just being honest money that comes in I'm sorry you talking about Federal money that comes in no he's talking about
045any kind of money it's assigned to departments I've heard the same thing I have too yeah not here I've heard the same thing yeah we got so much money we gotta do we got to buy something right unfortunately yes I've heard that yeah from do my perspective in the classroom just to be honest with you yeah and uh with everything else that's going on in our County with all the the teachers and all the service Personnel that's those things concern me they really do because um I think we I just think we need to really look hard at finances that's just my opinion oh I agree some of this money I would imagine is encumbered anyway for food service only we couldn't use it anywhere else no uhuh if we we want to right right
046so I mean this is Food Service monies that can only be used for that purpose anyway so we wouldn't be able to shift it to anything else even if we wanted to do that for it so I would imagine that's a lot of this blanket purchases so I but I understand your point so I think moving forward what we'll do and we can take a look at Colonial and see what our average spend with them is when they're coming in to do this repair work uh we'll see what that average amount is and see if it's under that $5,000 Mark where we don't need to have right you know and open po prior because we can process it uh when we know the price of the repair well and since Mark has brought this up
047my question is too A lot of these huge blanket purchase orders will have eight to 10 vendors that they can buy from now that's when you could really buy things that weren't really those are the peard Rel yeah exactly I know PE cards I don't you know me I've never been a f I've never been a fan of peard yeah yeah but I mean they you know just for an example like uh Transportation CB andh different different tire companies blah blah blah you know same way with maintenance you know all these different Kenny Queen Supply yeah you know you know all that that's ones that you think that you know if people wanted to that they could spend it for things that which I'm not saying our people are dishonest I know it sounds like
048but I'm not but I mean that's just it is I'm Mark I worry about our budget I understand your point there we have to we're going really tighten down to not people people can take advantage but that's it this board when when we first came on board Missi and I we had that problem and people got prosecuted and I think that set a tone no den we had that problem before that we had a long time before that but it got caught up within and prosecuted once we were here that's what I'm talking about okay yeah right yeah but so this board has a reputation that we're going to keep an eye on things and if you do wrong you're going to get in trouble and we got a superintendent that I think feels that
049way too don't you yeah absolutely but I understand anything we can do to tighten it up and not waste I'm all for it y but I think people knowing that people knowing that there's a penalty you know that's another thing too all right so we'll take a look at those p and yeah and you're pulling see what else we can page 28 right Todd yes okay Poland ag28 28 yeah RPO 82966 me write that on here got it 829 got it all right any other questions or concerns on those just so this is as amended yeah or with page 28 I have a question on the next one on page 30 what is thrill share media subscription what is that is our uh that's our web page so it cost $188,800 for us to run

054all that but you know we're really spending the money on Subs we really are it just be good you know if I mean I know there's nothing you can do it people get sick but it just seems like it's it's a horrible amount of and then you think about all this Mone how many these kids that aren't getting the teaching that they need to get from their regular teacher right and a lot lot of that goes back down to that bill that was passed on your second personal leave days if you if you don't use it you lose it and you know they're giving their second person leave and by the end of the year if they don't use it they lose it that's just you know that's no they don't lose it it it
055carries over only a certain amount they can't use it for retirement they don't lose their six only carry five days right you can only carry five days it's right Mr Alexander no you you car your sick yeah you carry your sick and it accumulates but when you retire you lose you don't you don't if you don't use it you lose it you lose right but that's and but even with that I mean before when I was in benefits it didn't matter if it went for retirement or not we had new employees they go one how many days sickly do I have well you have 15 you know if day and a half supposed to be a day and a half a month but we put it on the beginning of the year which you've got
056those 15 days that you don't really have and they say Okay Ione know I know how many I could use so it's not just a new thing but it's gotten worse because they feel like they take vacations and do all this there's no benefit for them to keep it that's what it boils down I no they can use it though I mean it builds up if you happen to have a car wreck like I did you be off seven weeks it's good to have your sickly even if you have a a real bad illness like we have some people have yeah it pays to keep your sick leave it's not just for retirement we have older teachers no they don't but they never have we have older teacher I have a tendency to kind of
057think like Mark I know it bought me five years seniority because I saved my te my SI I had about 300 days what's this showing for the professional on the on the subc call so far Jeb is that is that the 448,000 that's not coming from our budget that's state right so this is our budget is but the subs come from our budget our budget the the subs County the pi that's Pi professional professional and instructional correct yeah yeah so the the cost for the subs is 448,000 that's the budget that's the budget and they spent 385 000 already we got 63,000 yeah 63,000 left in service right yeah May um month no servic is already 113,000 in the red yeah that that substitute number and that substitute number comes in about a million when
058all say know I know but correct million and a half yeah I know I just thought is there any chance getting change Mark I doubt it I've introduced it two years in a row and it didn't go anywhere so I doubt it I think they're saving money but they're not what about or you is there any movement on the uh the local aid from the state there's some bills that's pending but nothing nothing is made it out moving in the fashion it should be so well that just my little two cents there okay motion byandy go ahead Randy he already did did second I second all in favor I opposed motion carries 5 to zero is 653 still light outside that's a quick meeting Dennis okay those that joined us online thank you
