001Glad I said something to her before spending a few weeks. There's no here, but I assume nobody else wants to car. [Music] >> We're ready. >> Are we ready, Mr. Brosma? >> Y. Okay. All right. Let's stand for the pledge of allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. to approve the agenda. Approve the agenda. >> Second discussions. All in favor say I. >> I [Music] should be on. >> She she popped on. Yes. >> Oh, she popped on. I unless she speaks something. >> Okay. No. >> All oppose. Same sign. Excuse me. Motion passes. Okay. Delegations, visitors, communications, and public comments. Have we got a a thank you note? It says, "I'm truly
002grateful for your recommendations and approval for the generous stipent. It means a great deal to know that our hard work and dedication were recognized and valued. Thank you, ation. Okay. Awesome. You're up. Can I address you? >> Yes, it's right here. Okay. >> Okay. Um, as a person working for the state of Wyoming, we on our team. Do I have three minutes? Is that not right? >> Okay. Sure. Okay. I didn't actually read the thing. I just signed your um we are working on our team on prepping for the budget session with our legislature and you know we like to get our ducks in a row and you know have our messaging really pretty fine-tuned and one of the things that leadership has really driven home in the last couple of years is how important
003our relationships are in our districts with our local legislators and so we have worked to build to reach out and say you know here's the things we're working on And do you have any questions? How can I help you understand why I make state parks better? And so I first of all just wanted to say thank you for serving, giving your time. I know it's not easy and I can tell that you're serving with a ton of attention and care. I'm seeing the results in our school and in my home. um the culture shift in terms of just like our kids just really having their nose to the grindstone and having a positive atmosphere when they're learning and I'm so encouraged by that. So thank you to your obviously you know volunteered time with that
004and then I guess just uh if you have a contact in a legislature that relationship in my opinion is so important. So the more you can work with them, be the person that they reach out to when they have a question on for school policy or whatever or because they they trust you. You're at all of the meetings and then they also know that you could they can send you to Mr. C obviously. But so thank you for serving and I just hope that you'll reach out to your legislators and let them know what important work you're doing um and what you need from them, which I think you're probably already doing. I see them showing up here. But we just really, it was driven home for us how important those relationships are. >> Thank
005you. Very encouraging. >> Okay, this was the only paper I got, so we're going to move on. >> House presentation. >> I want to see Aubrey's pants. >> That mean I got I did I did email you our we made slides and then we also brought you guys some beads so you can feel your house love house love >> I mean you can't miss Thank you. >> Okay. So, we are House Hercuan. We are the House of Resilience. We are hosting this month for school. So, that so that's why when you walk around the school, it's orange. Next slide, please. Um, so what we are about, so our members are Braxton, which is a seventh grader, Bristol, which is an eighth grader, Juliana, which is a freshman, Chloe and Jonah, which are sophomores, and then
006me and Natalie, we're seniors, and we're are the house leaders. Um, our clubhouse is KOA, so we watch over them and we mentor them as older kids. Our origins are Greek mythology. And then our core core values are resilience, leadership, strength and courage, direction, and family bonds. So when creating our house last year, we pulled many of our concepts for the stories of Hercules, um, hence our house name. There are also several Greek inspired details found in our crest, which include the pillars on either side and the style of the crown uh, our panther has on. Um with our core values being the house of resilience it's one of our core values along with leadership strength and courage as a house it's our goal to remind others that courage is not moving toward without moving
007forward without fear rather it's facing new challenges and experiences head on these ideas tie into direction and progression which are other things we strive to embody. Okay next slide. Um, so one of the one of our core values that we didn't go into on the last slide, it was listed as family support. So, um, each house was assigned like a source of strength. It, um, aligns with the color on the wheel. There used to be a little sign in here of it, but so ours is family support. Um, and so we're we've really been working on that. And obviously we mean that in a literal sense like you know love your family be close to them but we also are trying to create a sense of community both within our house and then that's also
008kind of one of the main goals of the house system as a whole is giving everyone something to belong to. Um and it's been really successful so far in our opinion. Um it's also creating more student connections. So we work to do that and then also like create more authentic and like meaningful relationships between students rather than just like oh yeah I know her like as such a small school we should it should be easier for us to do that and this has made it a lot easier. And then um it also gives you more of a safe system. you have people you can go to if you need help um obviously with older kids in your house and then also our house leaders gives you someone to go to. So, we didn't put pictures,
009but outside on the board, um, our project at the First Panther Club was showing off kind of everybody's family and who you consider to be your family. And if you look at the pictures, there's pictures of friends and family. And so, it's really cool to see that in action. Um, and then lastly, we have an event coming up on October 16th. We're doing what we're calling the battle of the cups. >> We're doing what we call the battle of the cups. And so each house was assigned to make their own drink inspired by their color and um what they choose to do. So all of them as you see on the paper are the colors of the houses. Um, so basically we have Panther Claw which you all are welcome to come to if you
010want at 3:30 and then we have our home our last home Buffalo volleyball game against Buffalo here as well which starts at 5 I think and then the Battle of the Cubs also starts at 5:00 and so you can come and you can I think we're doing where you buy a ticket at the concession stand and then you can try whatever drink you want or buy whatever drink you want and it helps supports us and uh fundraises for our So that's all we have. >> Okay. Thank you guys. >> Okay. Orange. >> Oh. Um I think so we picked it. It's bold obviously and one of our core values is leadership. So it's out there. I mean obviously as you can see that we're very bright. Um so it's just eyecatching leadery. Good work. >>
011Adding quickly to the pan class at 3:30. I think we've got a pep assembly at three. >> Same thing. >> Yes. >> And immediately after school's going to be parent teacher conferences. We've got parent teacher conferences going, the drink competition and volleyball. And hopefully it's just a panther festive atmosphere here that we all get to have a good time. Um, when do the houses meet >> to their >> largely at launch? Yeah, largely at launch. They're uh we have panther claw, but that's always a pre-planned activity. These guys have done fantastic job so far this month. So, I mean, most of the houses are launches to do their planning. >> Wondering if I was slacking. >> When did you guys We come with our drink during lunch. >> Yeah. >> How about for planning October?
012>> During lunch and then we came in on a Sunday and we decorated everything. >> There you go. >> Cool. Awesome. Thank you guys. Thanks. >> We would love to have you join us for the rest of the meeting, but don't feel under any obligation to do so. >> Okay. We find that out. >> Thank you guys. >> Tessa Anderson. >> Thank you. Thank you. Review board policy the leadership governance policy. >> I have a question. It was the violence >> right here. Yes, the violence in the workplace. What if issues supervisor? Oh, I was just doing word duty building supervisor district. So, what should it say? >> Oh, I see. And then if we just changed it to supervisor or superintendent, what if the issue is with that person? Should we put in there?
013Preferably just change building edit mode. So as long as you guys are good, you're going to stay in edit mode. to their supervisor or to HR director. >> Greg ostensibly serves as our HR director. >> I didn't know what his title was in that capacity, but I think he was the other. >> Do you think HR director is appropriate there? >> And that that would have them come to you. >> Yeah. Yeah. That's fine. I did have and I didn't go into detail. I mean, I I looked through it for the endorsement driver's license act. Most of what I saw in statutes was inert was pertaining to school buses, but we don't have like most of our drivers don't drive school buses. So, does this cover the suburban passenger vehicle less than 12, right? >>
014Um, but they don't need like those drivers don't require a CDL. Correct. >> Right. So, do they still have to go through all of this the the testing and stuff that a CDL bus driver is required to have because they're transporting students? >> We always have, but just like we they legally they're not required to have a DOT physical, but this district does. >> We require them to. Yes. >> Okay. So, do we need to specify that because it says school bus on here? Should we change that terminology to I I don't even know something that's not student transport. >> I think I guess sorry part of the state too when you talk to the state transportation for the WD if it's hauling kids on a route or something it is classified as a bus
015no matter what size it is. I mean it's not physically classified as a bus but they refer to them as >> they do. I guess if you look at that language, does that fit in anywhere? >> I don't know. I guess then maybe I need to go back and find the statute because the one I found in here was specific to like it it defines a school bus as a passenger vehicle 15 or more. And so I just want to make sure that we're we're within our statutes. I think we may be covered. I think we just it says all school bus drivers or applicants for driving positions and maybe we can just I hesitate to change it to all. >> We don't have everybody everybody that drives students has gotten >> and >> supposed
016to. You said >> supposed to. >> Yeah. I think that's a reference to the fact that I may have let it happen without um only driver show felony check that that'll be taken care of. We did run into in our our random drug and alcohol testing pool that the the one provided by the state and the federal motor carrier um we you cannot have somebody in there that doesn't have a CDL >> or sorry repeat that >> for the random drug carrier the random drug testing pool but we can run a separate pool what they were telling us right >> so we can have a a pool with our OT driver with our CDL drivers in it and a pool that's got our nonCDL and right now we that's how we are operating >> actually
017it's combined and then what happens is that if the only ones they care about are the ones with CDLs. So if we were to report and they needed something we would not include those without but we have we can take them out. We haven't separated it yet, but we can definitely talk to the company that runs our pool or see how we want to do that. Have two different >> What do you think? Because we have we have many teachers that even for purposes of a field trip or uh a trip to Casper, that type of thing are we have them listed as drivers. They are drivers. And they're getting DOT physicals to do that. Are they all in our random drug test pool? >> They are. >> Okay. Maybe we just take the word
018bus out of here. >> So, is that sufficient? You think everywhere it says bus, school bus driver, we just make it school driver? >> I think so. I mean, I I think yes. because you're transporting students and the majority of our student transportation is not done by a bus. >> Yeah. So that's >> So do we need to change this part down here where we have a P and S endorsements? >> Driver's license endorsements required by department for the operation of >> I mean for an op by for the operation of uh the vehicle to which they are signed that'll be >> but they are not >> not everybody would be required a PNS okay but those that are capable of going to be etc driving a bus would have to have PNS >> okay
019>> now the ones that drive the suburban they have to have the six hours of training also. >> Um, we need we need to do that's a good place to be asking the question now because we don't necessarily have all of the teachers that are driving in the transportation trainings in the summer. >> No, no. What we did with them was before um it would have some training during the first week of service. all of them that drive the sper and stuff like that to Josh would do some training with them. >> So advantageous to separate this out but and just have a section for CDL drivers and a section for >> several other places down below Chase that refers to bus driver. I was getting on going there. I just got to make this
020decision if if we want to change it. >> Is there a month that varies between the two? >> Well, >> it would make >> We don't have a policy right now for non CDL drivers. We just have >> regulations and operating procedures. >> Is it the only would be different between the two training the teachers do drug and some of them are out there training service day >> we could just put maybe in parentheses like six hours of training parentheses CDL only that's because everything else the first aid CPR federal motor carrier safety that but they don't need the physical. That's also a CDL physical. >> Well, you have we have a DOT physical for everybody. >> But you're not the your teachers are not >> Yep. any any teacher. >> Perfect. >> Anybody that
021has But should our um you know the ones that are driving the suburban, shouldn't they have some training? I mean required training because they are hauling children. >> Yeah, we could go back to the cursory one hour training that provided before. Um probably try to pull up pull it up. Maybe on that Friday we do CPR. What would we like that to be? And this isn't this doesn't refer to annual training. This is six hours of training. >> Six hours of training. >> So, can we just add another bullet point that has >> an annual training? >> Annual. >> Do you want everyone to have an annual refresher course? >> Annual refresher training for all drivers. >> Okay, I think that looks good. So, do you need to further down where we refer to school
022buses? Could you put it as as individuals um transporting children that would take your bus and and the suburbans both because they're both transporting children? >> Yeah, I think there are going to be some places here like driving records of all school bus drivers should be checked annually. I think we need to leave that one because we have no way of checking licenses unless they have CDL. We can get on the we can get on the portal and to check everybody that's got a CDL, but we don't have a a way to do that for non CDL holders. All drivers must meet the requirements of WD for school bus driver records. I think bus can stay there. Person is disqualified. driving a commercial motor vehicle. We'll say um commercial license holders disqualify driving commercial. >>
023What what disqualifies someone from driving? >> What disqualifies them? When we check the portal, if it says can't drive, >> what about >> drive? >> Like you have a CDL, right? >> So if you're disqualified to drive the vehicle, you have to terminate it as employee. >> So how about terminate as a >> employ transportation? >> Terminate as a driver. Well, here you have district of county a bit redundant. All school drivers shall have on file annual health certificate. That's not um we're just going to say current health certificate signed by a physician licensed by the state of Wyoming because it's not necessarily annual. >> So is that that's not a state requirement for it to be annual? No, you just have to have a current DOT >> which is not required every year. >>
024Two years for healthy and capable driver and whatever your doctor is willing to give you if that's not the case. >> Okay. >> Thank you for taking the time to work through that. comments on that one. [Music] Anything else on the other two? Can you speak to the child abuse and the child abuse R the 48390 and 4390R and just why we're removing one? I'm assuming I consolidated. >> I did just consolidate the into the child abuse policy. So it's not that we need to object two documents. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> And that one basically just spells out responsibility to report as anything else on that. Okay. Board leadership governance policy So, didn't we make enough changes in that policy that we need to bring it back for a first and second
025meeting or >> we didn't change any substance? Okay, let's move on to our governance self assessment. >> Just one. >> Yes, the last one. >> Looks like we need to work on orientation >> for us for the board. Yes. which has been I think we've discussed multiple times. I think we just maybe need to sit down and write something for it. >> Yeah, it'd be nice to have something in place. I mean, what we've got 18 months until the next election. You guys have something in place maybe early in the spring. So concreted in I guess >> what uh just broad strokes and I'll get started on something. >> What would you guys like to see that look like? >> We've talked about like a mentor board member, but I feel like every time it's
026just kind of hard, you know. I think um if we felt capable or maybe we feel like the need is there depending on how many new are coming on I guess um that we could lead a session like the consult session that we have >> as like a retreat day to bring in new and just establish that like these are our goals of the board these are our goals of the district. It's in the two separate lanes between Gordon superintendent like where the line sits like but the the basics that they walked us through there would have been really helpful at the very beginning and I don't know if we feel equipped to lead something like that or if we would want to bring someone in again to facilitate that but I know you two
027are newest what would have been really helpful for you to have Well, everything was helpful because we knew nothing absolutely nothing and any information you could have given us would have been a great help. I think there's the basic logistics of where do you find stuff. Um what our guidelines are for social media, some of those things, but then the meat of it is that like the four steps or whatever that walk through. I think Dusty had said his before your guys even your first meeting, you guys went to the conference with us in November and you were able to sit in on the new board member session and you said that was super helpful to you. >> Yeah, because this is all new stuff to me. We're talking about feeding hay or something like
028that >> because I don't think when I first got on that I went to that I don't think I was invited to that conference. >> I can't remember >> As a new member I could have also been out of town. I I don't want to put it all on there. I just I know I didn't go but it would have been very helpful. >> Yeah. So WSBA has got the conference and they have new board member training usually in the January following an election maybe. Um should we make those that that just be part of what we do is granted >> require >> they're they're elected to their position. They don't have to do anything that that we say but >> the other things that um I feel like would be important, but this it's
029going to have to be not all at once or >> it won't be a day. Um the funding model. Um and then I do think that if we could work with another district. I I've only done it like a couple times in the last six months, but I have coffee with another school board member from from my outer district. And we do talk mostly about what's happening in happening in legislation for schools more than anything else. But that's helpful, too, because she hears things that I don't hear. And I think just having somebody you can bounce ideas off like this is what's happening. Is this normal or am I way off base? Somebody who's been in said no, you're being ridiculous. Like that's what I really appreciate about that that relationship. But >> not to
030cross over the talk between how superintendents talk about boards and how superintendents talk to their boards. Uh but maybe our chair can visit with another district's chair and say, "Do you have a board a good board member that you would recommend being somebody that we can pair up?" >> Yeah. if they I mean if that was something they were interested in or if somebody on our board wants to I mean ideally it would be great if it was our mentoring them if they were interested in that. >> Yeah. >> So one form or another provide mentor. >> Yeah. You don't want to force a relationship either. >> Yeah. That's a good starting place. >> Hey, I'd like to add a couple things. This is Deb. Um, I think it'd be nice to get more of
031an orientation to our shared drives and how to find things and also how does the meeting run? How do I know what to say, when to say it, how to vote, etc. what should and should not be said. >> Yeah, >> good. I like that, Deb. And maybe we should also invite anybody that we know is running to our meeting up until election so they can see. Let's see what else. That >> one more thing. I'm sorry. On orientation. >> Yeah. >> How how to prepare yourself a week before what to you need to do your homework. You need to do your reading asking questions. Not wait till the day of the meeting. And just overall expectations. >> Yeah. Good. >> Subscribe to and read professional publications and educational periodicals. Jolene sends emails. >> Yeah.
032>> I will say I don't read this. I read every once in a while, but not every time. >> Sorry. the WSBA stuff. >> I read it. >> No, she >> sends like their whole publications. >> Yeah, >> there's so many articles >> for for your guys's history there. >> Trustee Lewis was asking last year for those periodicals and articles, etc. be forwarded so that we we were satisfying this part >> and people could stay a breast of what they wanted to stay a breast of. She shared a bunch of of newsletter sources that you could sign up for as a board member that would help you maintain knowledge of the the space in education. But if you guys are feeling like you need more, >> it's not necessarily a more for me. I guess
033my preference would be if you or whoever comes across one that is more pertinent to >> our district or small district, what's going on in the state, that kind of stuff because I >> for me it's a time thing. I don't want to scroll through an email that doesn't pertain to our district at all, which is often what happens. >> Yeah, I'll try to try to do that. >> Okay. Yeah. Add it to your to-do list. I want you not to send the stuff. I mean, I can >> No, go right ahead. Do your due diligence. >> I just kind of skim through them. If there's something I think you guys are interested in, then I'll send it. But if they're not, I just delete it. >> I mean, it is nice to look into
034things without them down. >> Yeah. Or even because I mean, it's nice to know what else is happening in the educational world in the greater United States. because not everywhere is >> well and I will say I I really got a lot out of going to the literacy conference last year and then some of the stuff that I get in email through that conference has been fun to just keep up with >> that's a leadership conference at trends I think >> instrumental literacy conference >> liter okay let's apparently personal health and wellbeing. >> Where are you? >> It's line 38 26. >> Oh, we're cutting down. >> Yes. Hold on. I'm still scrolling. >> Okay. >> Yes. >> Grab some conversation this evening that can contribute to that. Otherwise, I think I like the last
035one. See, your opinion that is funny, but >> I don't think I don't think that was part of the model, was it? Was that added for this district specifically or was that part of the WSBA model? the sense of humor while back. >> I think I agree. There's just very few people that understand it. >> I I'm curious what our ratings were on this last year and what they are now because I feel like it would probably change as we get to know you and your sense of humor. >> Yeah, it's funny. It's funny that it's on there. Okay. Book study chapter seven not highlight a lot in this chapter. I didn't either. It was hard for me because I'm a take responsibility for your own actions kind of thing. So, it's hard for me
036to wrap my head around using, you know, it is I I agree that it's nice to have superintendent to um convey the message sometimes depending on where who's receiving it, where it would come back from. But I have a hard time pointing fingers, I guess, is kind of how it felt using it. I don't know if somebody got a different interpretation of it. Don't cower beyond the superintendent. >> Yeah, I feel like point people that direction, right? I mean, that's >> I guess that's the way you interpret it. >> I think it speaks largely to don't don't be unafraid to have conversation. We want to talk to everybody and make sure that they know that that's an okay thing. But as previous chapters have talked through, need to make sure that often times our answers
037are let's make sure we're addressing the proper people, not necessarily bringing stuff. Interestingly, we talk about bringing issues straight to board. I was in a meeting with the governor September 11th in Cheyenne and his uh chief of staff came up to me and said that he had got a call from one of our constituents and brought something up and wanted the governor to know about it. He said that his answer was, "Well, I will let the governor know and I will call the superintendent, make sure that you've been to have a conversation with him." >> That's interesting. >> Okay, good. >> I don't know. That was my struggle with that chapter. >> Deb, any thoughts on chapter seven? Uh, no. I failed to read it. I'm sorry. >> I got I got three chapters now
038I got to read for next month. >> Okay. So, chapter eight for next month for sure. No worries. Okay. Administrative reports. >> I just can we go through them one at a time and I just tough compliments. Um, in the activities report, I just want to give a shout out to our music teacher. I think she's doing an awesome job um bringing together programs that you wouldn't often see in a small school. She's not cutting any any corners because of our size, which I think is really awesome to give those kids that chance and let them display their talent. I'd like to give out a shout also um for the junior high volleyball. They are doing phenomenal for as young as they are. They are just they're just outstanding and it's going to be a
039good base to add to our our older girls when they get there. >> And uh this is Deb. I'd like to shout out to Mr. Jorgensson. He's going to do that live presentation uh for his department in what October 16th, a virtual conference and good luck sir and I know you'll show do a good showing of representing our district. Thank you. >> All right, Mr. and share concern. >> Anything to add? Oh, um, >> busy busy. >> Sorry, I was zoning. >> I I don't really have anything to add. I did have a really good conversation with a representative K12 today trying to get some of this ticket stuff handled better on their end. So, things are looking up. >> I think you're killing it on the social media side. Oh, it's been fun. >>
040All positive on your day. Especially they get all the students and stuff. >> Yeah, the Monday morning video has been been super fun. >> Yeah, the kids look forward to it. They saw one of them running up to it like, "Oh, what we got next?" >> So, >> I I learned something watching it yesterday. >> You learned something? >> Yeah. >> I didn't I didn't know the big news thing. >> Oh, there you go. >> Yeah. I don't know. Very exciting. All right, Mr. Roar. >> All right. Um, this is the financial report for September 2025. So, we'll start off with the overall expenditures for the general fund. look at instructional and instructional support administration and maintenance and transportation. So we expended $328,4120 this month this past month. So instructional was $121,574 again payroll and
041non-payroll expenses. So at this point we have ex we have 86.33% of that budget remaining. Instructional support was $12,900 again payroll $9.5,000 and then other expenses a little over 3,000. So at this point the budget there is 89 8% remaining. Okay. Administration, $45,389.7%. That's broken up by the school board, administration, and business office. >> What did we spend the money on? >> What's that? >> What What was our >> There's the normal ones for the month. There's the legal stuff. Advertisement is a big one. We spent a lot of money on the newspaper. >> Well, that comes out of our budget. >> It sure does. >> Excellent. >> Do you want that stuff? >> Probably at that level, it's it's probably down to newspaper and legal. >> Yeah. Yeah. There wasn't much on anything else.
042So, um and just because most of us like the ad for the board meeting and the ad for the expenditures and stuff. >> Oh, that just has always come out of the board. So yeah, that's about it for you guys. Not you didn't really spend very much, but those probably going to be a normal if nothing else was spent legal fees and advertisements. >> And legal fees have been higher. >> Is there a court case going on right now? >> Or we're contributing to >> working toward um oral arguments in the Supreme Court probably next month or December. It's been court case decided we won on all counts. It was appealed by the state and now both sides are prepping for the Supreme Court here. [Music] >> Okay. So any other questions about that? >>
043Okay. So right now administration basically has about 75% of budget remaining. maintenance. Um, $10,641. That's what happens when Mike's gone. And >> I'm sorry, I didn't say >> you're No, you're demonstrating an authentic sense of humor tonight. Uh, so payroll 8,785, utilities, and the miscellaneous expenses. Um so at this point we have 65.81% of that budget remaining. Transportation um $137,12069. That's because we are paying for the new suburbans as soon as they get here. the jeeps, >> which to me is being made. >> To be very clear, the check has been written. >> That's right. >> The check has not been delivered. It won't be until they deliver the So, we're just waiting for They're supposed to So, we've gone through many phases of how to get him here and that they've been looking at.
044So, I think we finally decided that he's and his wife are going to drive them and they're going to fly back to Salt Lake. So now they're just making arrangements for that. And then I did propose the rapid city thing by having her back. So So that's where we're at with that right now because Jolene and Lacy were going to fly out there, but we I we kind of mentioned the airport thing with him and he thought that was a good idea. So So >> I did uh well and and we're working through how it happens because we're not paying for it. >> Yeah. >> They they've got a responsibility to get them to us and whatever plans get worked out, they're they're paying. So, we offered for us to put send some people out
045there, we offered for him to we drop him at at an airport, no problem. The last one I did tell Greg to offer him if he if he was willing or it was easier for him or cheaper to fly or Rapid City. When we take those vehicles, we're basically going to turn around and drive them to Veil, South Dakota to get bumpers put on. Anyway, so if he wants to drive them to Veil, South Dakota, we'll get him to rapid do that, too. We'll see what the guy lands on. So at this point with that um transportation as at um just well shy of 60% of their budget remaining because of that big expense but we had planned on that buying those. wellness incentive. We spended $41455 this past month and at this point we
046have um extended $1,61 and which leaves us with 91.15% of that budget remaining. Um no transfers been made yet. So we have 100% of that budget remaining. So overall for the general fund this at this point in since this fiscal year we've spent 733,000 $322. There's the breakup of it which which comes out to 18.45% which has been spent as at the end of September. revenues for the month. Foundation payment was $35,53808. We had the local taxes of $7,74.71. And our special education reimbursement for the month is $27,425.30. So $340,000 a little over that for the month revenue. Uh, hey, it moving outside of the general fund into the other funds. Uh, lunch fund, we um, again breakdown. We expanded $10,18245. We're back into full swing with staff as you can see with our payroll
047and so and then food service. And the only reason that is because we were missing an invoice so we couldn't pay Cisco for the money. So that they'll get paid this week. I don't know. That's just what I was told. And so, um, and then miscellaneous expenses. >> So, next month it's going to be really big because we'll have two months of purchases. >> I was going to commend Aubrey on this for a month. >> I know we're looking pretty sharp then for a while. >> If you can do that again, >> which I do want to picking up whole milk for children. I told her, >> I remember when I was a kid and my dad would always say, "Well, you go to prison, that's bread and water." So, you could always try that.
048>> Really high hopes for. >> All right. So, school lunch 88.23% of the budget. Um, no expenditures for major maintenance. this past month. So at this point we uh 66.32% of that budget remaining. Um house school housing this is all property taxes what we expended this month $5,138.13. So we have and I don't know why that big number is there. 76.96% is what that budget should be remaining. We just we're growing that we're growing. We're just kind of moving some other funds. Anyway, it's only 76.96%. 97 if you want to um depreciation reserve, no expenditures at this point. So 100% of that budget remains. um capital construction spent $375 on the greenhouse. This point we have 82.24% of that budget remaining. And special revenues for the month we spent $35,57818. again break down white bill
049title one and 611 Perkins title four and of 25 and title four of 24 which we expended that money all of title for for the year of 24 I did visit with with DSC this afternoon Wyoming had applied for a CLSD grant which is what YUIL was and had not received it but there was a second round funding and Wyoming did receive a good chunk of money in the second round. We've been contacted that the state would appreciate us applying because we were one of the better grant uh observers grant receivers for the Y belt grant the last three years visited with ESC just for a is it desire of the staff to go there because it it seemed like it was extra work for Greg and I for sure but I wanted to make
050sure if it was felt like extra work for everybody. I think the answer we got was that they really appreciated the professional development that we had over the last three years. It's been the most impactful that many of them have had in their careers and then they would like us to apply for that again as long as there's no objections. I won't have that as our intent. I will say um I sat in with Carrie Cole um that was um and you can really tell the admiration and respect that the teachers have for her. Um and she feels like one of us which was cool. She feels right at home and there's just a definite comfort level but also they look up to her and they've learned a lot from her. She's [Music] All right.
051Um, so special revenues as of now we have 70 almost 75% of that budget remaining but that number this whole thing can change overnight. All right, any questions? Thank you. Okay. Purchases exceeding 5,000. Just went over the Sharing County Treasurer rentals and >> probably going to happen. >> Hopefully soon. Okay. Consent items. Motion to approve consent items. I move to approve the consent items as presented. >> Moved and seconded. Any discussion on any of these? >> Okay. Hearing none, proceed to vote. All in favor say I. >> I. >> Same sign. Motion passes. Action items. Get a motion to approve contracting consulting. I move to approve contracting circuit consulting for instructional support for January 26 through May 26th for 14,000 as recommended by the administration. >> Dan I'll second >> moved and seconded. Any discussion
052on that? There was a small portion of a contract that we had established for the fall semester with Clear Creek Consulting that we did not utilize and is pushed over into this contract as a discount. So it's I think the actual cost on here is probably 155 or 16 something like that. It's brought down to 14 by the fact >> is that I mean contractual or common that even though we didn't use it that they would >> that's been the experience that we've had with our consultants >> common >> well and and sometimes I honestly would not have I would not have bought that in this instance because we we chose to go a different direction. So that response probably would have been okay. Um, previously we've had that's happened or somebody gets sick or
053whether prevents travel or whatever case may be that consults often charge a different price for inerson training versus virtual. So if storm comes up and we end up virtual instead of in person, they give us a credit. That type of thing. Any other discussion? Proceed to vote. All in favor say I. >> I. >> Oppose sign. A motion passes. All right. Can I get a motion to appoint and approve an alternate voting delegate? Oh, I am appointing. >> Sorry. Uh because Deb was our delegate. >> She was. Yes. Now she's flaking out on us for some reason for fun. Just kidding. >> It's true. >> It is. Um, okay. >> Are you there, D? Did you hear all that? >> I certainly do. And did. And I'm going to be having my boots on and
054boot scoot and boogie in Nashville. >> Oh, well, I can either appoint or would somebody like to volunteer. >> Is everybody going? I think we all are. No, Deb's not going. You're not going, Gina. I don't know, Gina. Oh, you don't know yet. >> I will say it was very easy because we discussed everything as a group and I knew exactly what to do the day of. So, it was not a scary position. >> Okay. >> Gina, do you know when you'll be when you might possibly be able to go? because I know the closer you get to it, the more expensive it is. >> Yeah. Um I'll see if I can >> Okay. >> Because I haven't registered you yet, but you should go let me know. I'll get you registered. >> Kelly, do
055you want to take it? >> I can't. I will most likely have her in so that it'll >> be okay. I can call. But yeah, I can if something happens that >> to sit in there. Yeah. I'll Dusty, you're Dusty, you're going to come down. Is it Thursday? >> Wednesday. >> Oh, it is Wednesday. >> Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. >> So, we'll leave Wednesday morning to get down there. >> Kelly can't make it. I think they said you can't vote then if your delegate is not >> because I have to I have to register the delegate. So, >> Oh, you can't have an alternate. >> I'm going to put an alternate in, but like you can't be in the voting thing then I don't think anybody else can step in. >> Okay. >> Well, you might
056be babysitting. >> You can always You can always >> You can stand up and say we vote against everything. >> Mic dropped. >> Okay, let's put Kelly on there. I move to appoint and approve Cali as the al as the delegate or the alter. >> Do we have we have to approve?

Just making sure you don't get a motion to approve Kelly as the delegate. Second >> dusty seconds. Okay. Any discussion? All in favor say I. >> I. >> Same sign. Okay. Motion passes. And then
057I move to appoint and approve Dusty as the alternate Sharon County School number three WSBA voting delegate for the 2025 2026 school year. Seconded discussion. Okay. Proceed to vote. All in favor say I. >> I. >> All post same sign. Motion passes. Congratulations you two. >> Thank you. >> With pleasure. >> All right. Discussion items. >> I'm not going to lie. I have no idea what this reader leaders digest is. Just >> it's the new WSBA memo. They've changed the name. >> Okay. >> Haven't read your email. Well, so I was in a meeting last week with a couple WSBA representatives and they indicated that the training that they were providing on school finance recalibration was quality and uh so I signed up for it, went to it the next day and it was it
058was informative. I thought it was I think if there's a couple of those sessions left if you guys are inclined want to know more about that process I could dive into that addition additionally to that with the next set of meetings for recalibration are 28th and this is more of a compelling argument today to to make sure that we're doing what we can to represent the district. I feel I've been certainly taking that representing our teachers as best I can represent our district as best I can at those meetings. So, so far there is a important one next week for superintendents and then that 28th and 29th is the last one before just before session. So, it's if you guys do look into recalibration or have any anything you'd like to weigh in, we'll have
059a couple people going down and certainly if you'd like to go down, we can make that happen. >> Oh, this is backtracking a little bit, but I just realized we have our meeting next month and then we go to the conference. So, we will have our items for voting to discuss. >> I just slipped it into November agenda. >> Let's say usually we have it ahead of time to look for. >> Okay. Dates for community engagement November 5th. Community lunch and then community listening session. So, do we need to pick a date topic? >> Pick a date. A topic. >> And topic. Let's look at the >> I would encourage and maybe this could start to become practice. Um it's been a couple months since we have felt the need for a two meeting week.
060and we have that on schedule already. Potentially we could use the Tuesday night meeting in November as listening session. >> Okay, that would work for me too. Is there anything I don't see anything on that night. Um, attendance thus far at those has been entirely dependent on the topic. We'll we'll advertise it well and get postcards out, everything else. But if we pick something that's compelling and people feel like they need to be heard on, they'll be here. If we pick something that's not so >> we want to stick with 7:00 time. >> Yeah. First six >> six. >> Yeah. Okay. One of my questions is do we have any kind of a local um legislative something to put our legislators in front of? We haven't since 23. >> So that could be an option.
061The store we've talked about a possible visit with the mayor on that. He said that there was a serious fire in the works. not been able to contact that person yet. I think if if there's an impending sale, maybe that discussion is not so appropriate. But maybe that maybe we roll legislative have legislators here for this one and ask that community show up to express any concerns, talk to legislators, everything else. next long weekend >> and we should >> um I guess we should have some ideas of what's coming down the pike education wise. >> Yeah, >> before that because of what we're going >> Yeah. >> We've got a a JIC meeting two days after that. So I guess we won't have another GC education committee is meeting that Thursday, Friday, but it would
062be great. Their agenda will be out. All of the proposed legislation will be published and uh we can have Jonathan work on making public aware of what that's going to be and then come into that night. Hopefully at least our two representatives, Lori Bratton and Tom Kelly that are on that committee show up and I I think they will obviously and people if they have prior commitments have prior commitments but they've been very responsive to meetings and and wanting to have the conversation. So I think they'll be there. >> Okay. What about as you listen by stall? >> Yeah, we'll just send I you know it would really surprise me if Barry and Marilyn are here. They are our senator and ref and they have when Barry was our rep and Senator Kinsky was was
063our senator. They would always show up. We'll work on the others. I would guess those four for sure. They're not in session right now, so they can come up. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Yeah, session start end of January. >> Oh, okay. >> There obviously though, I mean, there are committee meetings and Senator Craig goes on many committees and and is he's often gone for that. So, I mean, if it's a if there's a committee meeting for gambling that night, he'll be gone for that. I forget what they actually call it. It's not committee for gambling. >> Gaming. Gaming. >> Okay. >> All right. That sounds like a plan. Superintendent evaluation. just be on for next month, right? So, make sure we get that accomplished. Then the American you'll get a survey. >> That that
064survey closes on the 8th. So, we'll have them for that. What is that? Yeah. Uh I think the survey closes on the 8th. So, It doesn't show it doesn't show me anything until it closes and then it'll compile all the data and spit out that report. I'll give it to you as soon as I get it. >> Two things DSC visited about tonight. Uh American Exchange Project is up there and uh they were in favor of us moving forward with participation in this. It's a opportunity for our students to go on an exchange where they would go to another town in the US for a week, experience the community events, the culture, everything else, stay with the host family, and then we would have students come here for a week and do the same. Uh
065it does require one of our staff members to commit to planning just basically finding host families uh helping to plan the community events that type of thing. Not necessarily being integral part of what happens but just making sure that it's a well structured week for those that are coming. Um it is uh provided at no cost. So there's donations, etc. pay for the entire thing, plane tickets, travel, meals. Uh they pay for events like if when we when kids come here, they want to go to the rodeo, they'll buy tickets for the whole family, the host family, and everybody to go to the rodeo. So this seemed and it's a seemed a good program. Sheridan had done it, I guess, up until last year. the teacher that they had had doing it left and they
066just kind of dropped it. So, just wanted to see if there was support for making that happen or >> this is happens in the summer. >> It's in the summer. Okay. And the earliest we if we start uh if we say yes, we'd like to do this, the planning meeting will be this starting this month for the summer of 2027. It's not a like next summer thing. It's going to be a spend 18 months planning to get it right for 2027. >> Okay. >> Any objections? >> Okay. The the other one was um same September 11th meeting I had with the governor. I was down and we had quite a few employers from around the state talking about workbased learning. The one of the the chief officers from Jackson Mountain Resort was sitting by me
067and he asked me at some point like, "Hey, what can I do for you?" And I started talking about, you know, I don't know that there's much you can do for me, but I really if you if you really want to answer that question, you should get in touch with superintendent, principal, etc. from Jackson High School and Teton County. And he said, "No, I want to know what I can do for you." And he said, "What if I can what if I can set up a work program where your kids can come out here to work for a week? I can put them through a bunch of trainings. They can do some work and we'll pay them 19 bucks an hour is their starting wage. We'll pay them 19 bucks an hour. We'll feed them.
068We'll house them and they can have that experience. So, that's another one that's on the table. We talked about seniors, juniors, who might be right for that. um kind of landed on if if students are going to do it, maybe not the students that are also going to be spending a week in >> New York and Boston, New York, >> DC. So that just another option out there, another opportunity for our kids. I think that would be a a valuable not only work experience but also just see a area of the state get exposed to some I would assume amazing uh employment training just for the fact that Jackson Mountain Resort turns over thousands of employees a year and is constantly turning them out to be provided service at a world class I think it's
069huge for coming from a small town and a small school to get to do things like this to expose our students to other parts of the world and our hometown. A lot of a lot of people that's that's kind of it. I mean I know people don't travel and do things like that after school. So being able to have those opportunities in school >> from the board. Um I just wanted to give a shout out to the FFA because the dinner was really great the other day and congratulations to all the sports teams because they're doing phenomenal this year and the teachers for all their hard work. She pretty much says it all. Yeah, I spent a lot of time here the last couple weeks and it's all been positive. Got a great team. >>
070Deb, >> just want to thank uh all the staff and and the administrators and everyone that at the school there because you're really pulling together as a team as I never would doubt you wouldn't. and it's you've had a wonderful probably first eight weeks of school. Keep it up. We're behind you 100%. >> I want to commend you guys on adopting the language shout out. I'm proud and happy that that's the way we're talking. >> All through the meeting. It's fantastic. >> Excellent. All right. Uh November board meeting. So, will they be cancelling the meeting on the 11th or we're not sure yet? We want to do it after session. >> We got we got to have a meeting to have the listening session. So, we'll just retitle it. >> Okay. >> Um I think
071>> as far as agenda goes, >> yeah, I suppose we we'll keep it as a meeting. So if we need to have a conversation after we want to go through some things because the agendas to that point I think especially with uh delegate assembly coming up might be such turn turn into a discussion for that that night and then come back the next night and have our business meeting. Okay. >> So we just need to change this to say six. Okay. Perfect. Okay. Uh, can I get a motion to return? >> I'll make a second. Seconded. Any discussion? Proceed to vote. All in favor say I. >> I. Same sign motion passes. We are adjourned. Thanks for coming. COPD
