001is alive, I guess. You know, it seems like this one. >> They've been really weird. Yeah. >> Yeah. My daughter's in Texas with that big one that went through there. >> Uhhuh. >> She wasn't in it. She was on the other side of the lake and stuff or, you know, the other side of Hill Country. But it was wild. >> I just think it's okay. [Music] I hate global warming on reverse. [Music] Okay, I am looking for I just had it our agenda to find it. >> I felt super stupid when I did find it. Well, that's what we were doing. >> That's why I called you because Deb couldn't find it. I couldn't find it. >> Oh, really? >> Yeah. So, one just you get and I finally found it on his pretty big
002about 20 minutes. There you are. I know it's a 2025 2020 click on that chase the weekend before I knew it was on And then I was like policies. I went through all the Chase. >> We need a quick training on that. >> Um, now that we all know where it is. >> Okay. >> Good. We'll >> call each other. I just didn't remember that we had done this. We >> you can roll. >> Okay. 701 Deb will be here. >> She is here. >> Yes. Um we can't hear Deb though. We will in a minute. She's fall show. Everyone is present. Stand pledge. I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for it stands one nation under indivisible with liberty and justice for all motion make
003motions and work sessions we do not at your right. I'd like a motion to approve the agenda. So move to approve the agenda. Second move second. Any discussion >> Hello everybody. >> No, we can't. Do you need to unmute on your end? >> You don't hear me? >> Nope. >> There you go. >> Testing. One, two, three. >> Now we can hear you. >> Oh, we'll have to translate it for you. >> Okay, let's >> let's review our board policies. leadership governance. Um, this this month we were in the 4,000 series. Don't think we had any anything major on these? Just they were pretty straightforward. Anybody else have any comments? Question. >> They were just on the statute cited and Chase. Just going to look look it up check it. >> Yeah. If it if
004it's not the right stuff, we'll just make that change. It's not part of the policy. It's just from note. So, >> yeah. >> Okay. Um, moving on to the leadership governance policies. Anybody have any comments on those? Okay. And then down to our self assessment. two.1 first. There have been better ones. Just got to close this window and we're good to go. Yeah. Okay. So, guess we'll start with the very first one. Uh, Kelly, you had to on the board channel citizens of the district by focusing on the beliefs, belief statement, mission, and goals of the district. Um I just don't I didn't feel like we have been I think like last weekend or weekend or last on the same page with um and I know I'm not I need to state the district over
005and over and over and make sure that I'm going back to that because not being here. Those are put in place. I still don't know that we've always had those in the back of my mind with everything to do. >> Sure. How about you? Uh, mine was probably specifically that when I was sitting there making that rating, um, I I don't know that we've updated this statement from the time that we truly had believe mission. Now we've got mission strategic plan and I think we're absolutely doing it. I mean you guys fantastic job of pushing back to a strategic plan making strategic plan when we talked about that or training and better at that. But uh I think just mass can you put mission on? Yeah. What's mission? And Jennifer and I looked it up.
006So, my feeling is if if we look it up, I'm kind of thinking that you guys might have to look it up and >> we can we can get beyond that. >> It's a relatively new mission. It's only a couple years old, right? >> Just last February. >> Okay. >> Not even a couple years. It was this this past February. Thanks. >> What was it? >> I think it was >> February. >> Yeah. February. >> Yeah. And we we have been far more intentional around talking strategic plan than we have that mission soon. I think that mission will be right there and we will all know what type of bedroom >> we're going to get right here. >> Excellent. Okay, good. Okay, let's see. The board will maintain an awareness of community values, concerns, and
007interests pretty much all across mostly said two. Actually, it's about half and half. >> All three. No, >> sorry, I skipped all that. I skipped on this. I think this is I I put a two here because I feel like I I don't hear a lot from the community. So sometimes I feel like I'm I know what the the the mission and the goals are for the school, but as far as like the community values, what their concerns and interests are, I I don't I'm not really hearing from people that for me personally too. Well, that was a question I had as I went through this. Are we supposed to be rating the how we feel the board is doing as a whole or that's the support of the person? I often often find when
008people that's always a question that comes up when you look at a creative system like this and when it's kind of a tragedy the commons thing when people talk about schools so often you hear people say well I have a great school and I would hope that a good chunk of our community does feel that way that but we I I have my school's good but all those other schools they're garbage. when you know all schools are pretty good and I think if if you're ready to rate yourself as this probably the board's there unless you can point to another board member and say well somebody's not their job then that kind of pulls that apart I think if I'm doing my job I trust everybody else doing theirs If you're not, >> I appreciate
009that. >> Also had tooina. [Music] >> Oh, no. Deb. Yeah. Sorry. >> Yeah. I' I'd like to I gave us a two. I think we're trying and we were really been focusing on this in the last several months and I think after our training last weekend or two weekends ago, I think the board's going to try uh to improve this number and I'd like to see my number rise and that I gave us a middle of the road score, but I feel as though we have some plans in the future to improve. That's it. >> Sure. Absolutely. Um, I guess it's too because I hear a lot of what's going on and now after our class and stuff, I know how to defer it and to send it where it needs to go. Before I
010was just flailing it, now I have a direct way to go and how it's supposed to go. So that's how I >> I think my mind was exactly that she said I feel like so much we were hearing and we were valuing but we weren't trying to to direct things where there was going to be a possibility of a solution and I think now all of us have the tools I in in my opening for the district today for our for our employees I said the same thing we we have to have that an assetbased mindset of thinking about who who is best positioned to solve this concern, go see that person rather than talking about anything to anybody else at any time. So, I think I think we're positioned from uh employees all the
011way up through the board with the trainings we've had and where we're starting here. That's where it's fun. That kind of ties into the next one down. Uh, channel all complaints and or grievances through the district's chain command policy. I feel like we're not we're not doing that great right now, but after our training a couple a couple weeks ago, I think we're that number is going to come up pretty fast. >> Yeah. We know what to do. It's not like floundering like I said before, right? We know the direction that we have to go, right? Okay. See, the superintendent will be responsible for informing district patrons of school programs and activities. We talked a little bit about that on our in our training how Mr. Christensen can inform a little bit more for us
012upcoming and stuff. Okay, let's go down to the superintendent will make recommendations to the board for resolution of complaints not resolved at the administrative vote. Thoughts on that one? Um, I just thought that maybe my mindset on that was that we had some complaints that I didn't feel were totally resolved. um now that I know how it's supposed to be, but I still in my mind I think there was one or two things that probably weren't resolved to the best of it. >> This this is Deb. Um I feel as though we didn't have the right mindset, the right knowledge on how to approach some problems. So, it it caused some problems in this area, but I know again after that training a couple weeks ago, we're we're going to improve these numbers greatly. >>
013Definitely. >> Is this talking about like issues that are brought before us that have the next step up? >> That's the way I read it. And I mean to this point it's saying that somebody has gone and talked to the teacher of their kid and they weren't happy with that. So they went and talked to weren't happy with that so they came and talked to me weren't happy with that so they came to the board. I'd put a two here because I've never seen it happen. >> That's kind of where I put it to you as well because I we've never done showing you is muted. Chase whether it's you should visit your attorney or whatever. I don't think he ever fails us in advising what his recommendations are. I think there's a lot of
014room to grow there, but the the growth is going to happen by ensuring that people address their complaints at the right place because and I'll I'll be 100% honest. I I don't anticipate that solve everybody's uh issue to their satisfaction. But we can't know how we're doing here if I haven't been given an opportunity or the teacher hasn't been given an opportunity, which is what we've dealt with. Sure. >> Okay. Everything else looked good. Unless somebody has a comment on any of those. I didn't think that Mr. Christensen is doing a good job in those other areas. Okay, this first one, the board will support the distinction between the board's roles and the role of the superintendent. This is a work in progress. Yeah, I feel like this one bit better. Yeah. So, I think
015our training a couple weekends ago is going to help us a lot on this. hold each other accountable for staying in our lane. Anybody else have thoughts? Okay. The board and the individual board members will avoid interference with the superintendent's duties. >> Honestly, I think that's the same. I think that we're uh the these two were fantastic ones to be rated. I rated certainly before our training >> and you know it's tough even if I was right after training you got to rate on what we've done not what we're thinking we're going to do >> right >> but I I think we've got a far better understanding of what's what excited to move forward >> me too okay make the rest of them look good all these Superintendent. Uh think all these ratings are are
016looking pretty good. Any comments on any of those? Perfect. All right, let's move to our book study. >> I failed. I'll let you leave. >> I failed admit I failed to read my >> I feel like actually this chapter was very I'm like appropriate >> because it talks about um the difference like how boards communicate with the public now they can more effectively govern. um like what our roles are versus what the superintendent's roles are. Uh I like this one. Doing the right thing from the start means not spending your valuable time as board members dealing with trivial details because it is someone else's job. I the superintendent for what? Let's see. I started a couple things. >> There was a lot of it what I got through in a few minutes before he um
017was right in line with what he had told us about like keeping a poker face. Don't tell them yes or no. You know, when you're hearing complaints or taking public comments that we need time to make a decision as a board before they get feedback instead of directly, which is exactly what we talked about. >> Yeah. will tell somebody that you are going to solve this problem for them, right? As an individual, >> right? And I like the anticipate problems before they have it. Nice. See what else we Anybody want to jump in? Deb or Dusty? >> No comments. agree >> because I didn't because I didn't read the book. I'm sorry. I I've got it with me. I'll read on the plane tomorrow. I promise. >> F. [Laughter] Um, this goes right into like
018our our self-governance. The board members should first encourage constituents to address their concerns at the proper place in the organization. that place is closest to the problem with the persons directly involved. Oh, just all ties together nicely. >> I'm glad it all kind of ties together nicely. This, you know, these governances that we just did, these ratings, and now this chapter, it it hit us at a right time as a young board. So, I think we're all feeling like the yeah, we can do better kind of thing. >> Yeah, I think it's great to like one more reiteration of what we need to improve on and we're working on it. So, excellent. Moving on, administrative reports. Um, so yeah, we had a busy summer. Um, mostly it seems like the gym has been the busiest
019in the last month in a lot of ways. Um, but I was super impressed with coaches, athletes, and parents, families. Um, we had more kids turn out for activities this summer than in my 20 years that I've been here. Um it seems like um so we had like um 11 junior high and high school show up for volleyball workouts over the summer. Seven of that 11 went to a team well it was an individual skills camp but they went together as a team to get the same message. Um that's a huge number out of our high school girls. Um eight girls basketball players, eight boys basketball players. um were here for for individual workouts. Four boys basketball players went to again another individual camp but as a team um we have restarted our partnership with
020uh Buffalo High School. We have three boys that are interested in football and I have to give a big shout out to the Buffalo Bison coaching staff. that came out here last spring in May and met with our boys and um the assistant coach that came out made a huge impact on our kids. Um and so for us to suddenly be sending three kids in is a a pretty huge number when you consider the number of boys in our high school. Um now that does bring some transportation, you know, concerns. We got to figure out how to get them into football practice. But um I watched these were boys that a year ago I don't think would have been interested. One in particular and I would tie some of this back to the house system
021because I've really seen this kid grow in a lot of confidence and he went to football team camp with 40 boys he did not know. Um which is pretty impressive. Um, we had three coaches go to the Wyoming Coaches Association coaching clinic, which is excellent for a lot of networking. And we are super excited with the gym project hopefully done soon. Uh, not leisure is not until Decemberish January, but um when kids if they're walking in here, they're like, "Hey, did we get new backboards, too?" Because they can actually see the backboards. So, as much as I struggle to say it out loud, Mr. Christensen picked an excellent choice of color for the gym in the gray and it's been well recognized that the gym looks fantastic and they're the kids are excited to be
022in there. So, thank you I'll provide a maintenance director report from there. We did have a a little bit of a hiccup with irrigation then finish that project up. One of the pumps was seemingly not working, but they they did come back out today and I think everything's up and running. Got lines done. So, that project has been completed to this point. The roof was replaced on the elementary. That was a quick start and finish for for that contractor. It was nice. Um, Jennifer spoke to the painting that was being done. We did get some good news. I know last time that we had an opportunity to talk, I think it was just got the news that the bleachers had been put back to March and we were thinking June of next year. Mike just
023a couple days ago heard from the guy saying that if we got the order in officially that the company was able to get us a Christmas install. So, we're back on that original timeline, I believe, for bleachers to be installed at the break over Christmas. So, we just got to fine fine pointing that with the guy because obviously he's got to care about his employees and where they spent their Christmas, etc. But he's thinking that he can get the job done. Jennifer did help out on that. I think we've got till January 24 before we've got a home game once we leave for Christmas break. So, we've probably got almost a full month, if not more than a month, that there could be some things happen, but we're going to try to pinch it down
024so that we don't end up missing any practices. But for that, uh, the maintenance team did a fantastic job this summer. They got in and in the rooms and ready read ready the building quickly. Uh which has allowed them to take on projects like the beautifification project out front to there. There's a lot of repainting that got done in the building outside of the gym uh that we were able to get accomplished. Aubrey stepped up big with me. We we spent a couple days rerouting cables, unplugging everything and making everybody in the building not happy. Getting our server room far better in terms of how it served us and what I'm missing. >> Thank you pretty much. You hit it all the walk. That's he did that with the beautifification project. >> She's asked if
025we took pictures after. >> I mean got any pictures. >> That really wasn't my mind. >> You did a hell of a lot of >> busy shoveling rocks to think about pictures. >> Well, we had we we have had since that project got going uh an employee start and also finish time here. Uh but her first day on the job rock for six hours. >> It was a lot. >> And then Yeah. And the fact that she came back the next day was fantastic. >> No point in breaking gently. >> Yeah. Survive a little. Excellent. Thank you for that. See, >> Greg, we have you got yours done. >> Yeah. email to go. >> Did you see good >> go? >> Since it is the first month of the new fiscal year, there's not really
026a lot anyway. So, some of them I just the same data was on both slides. So, I just kind of because of time and stuff didn't do half of this each of the slides. Um so this first part is our July expenditures for the general fund which um again July is usually a pretty low month. It was $160,79530 to start the year off and as you can see this will probably be the one and only month but another category that would be instructional expenses. So but administrator besides because our wages are happening but we did pay the audit auditor for the audit this month. So that kind of increased that part by so then if you look at that as far as instructional again no payroll so that makes that one pretty easy. So basically
027all we have is some expenditures of other supplies and stuff for a little over 13,000. So again at this point um budget we have spent uh $13,1825 which brings the budget at still 99.31% flat. Instructional support again no payroll other expenses. So almost $10,000 um that for that just getting things ready for the year and so there's our expenses and so basically there's any questions about anything but um that one is 964.04% 04% of this budget remaining administration get the breakdown of the school board again 30,000 guys really traveled a lot where were you >> all good places >> curious now just some expenses like the audit >> oh that's part of our our budget is the audit that's the majority of our budget >> like The honest is 26,000 of that. The other is
028probably the first day of her training. >> Oh yeah. >> Mileage reimbursement. I think she did those checks. >> So you look at the um basically expenses um we have 88.74%. the administrative budget maintenance. Um, again, didn't really put a change in there. If you go to the next one, basically that's because we've had one expenditures that's 51,000 for this month. Again, a big part of that is the lease for the rec center. It's $25,000 but we we pay 25,000 children to district the rec center school year. So we paid that last month. So there's 80 almost 85% of that. Transportation 13,000. So again a little bit of you know between payroll and some expenses. The biggest expense was the must tires for one of the the staff cars $600 and something. >> Yeah, we
029did put tires on one of the staff cars. That goes in transportation even though it's not transportation reimburseable. >> Yeah. So, >> seven tires and there has been some some work done this last month deal with those. >> So, it's ones that we don't use for student travel. It's more like the teachers go to meetings or chase or >> I like when we go >> and it's not >> the total total fleet got three staff vehicles and those are those are entirely uh our expense. Gas goes in them whatever tires everything stays and it's it's a district expense. Um the other vehicles that we've got are the eight passenger, nine passenger vehicles. Those are all we try to use them 100% only for student travel whether it's running routes with them or or activity trips,
030that type of thing. And then we've got five buses. Those are the same thing. Those are for student travel. >> Okay. Any other questions? So then next is wellless. Well, and it does basically no expenditures this fund. So, we have 100% of that budget remaining. He knows we lower it down to 12,000 instead of 20. Um transfers again, no transfers. It's too early in the year. Um but there's a breakdown about the budget for that. How it is launched 100,000 tell us depreciation for this year. Just a reminder for everybody even within uh setting out the budget for next year this depreciation reserve you can think of it doesn't operate the same as a savings account but what we when we budget money in that direction it's to balance the budget to the July submission
031and this is saying with everything that we're anticipating to expend we've got almost 300,000 left to stick it a a form of savings for the district. So for the first month of the fiscal year, again, this is the breakdown of where we're at, what we expended, same one as we just looked at. And so moving on to revenue again this the month of July we only received money local revenue from the county which was $36,930. This month July will start up with our foundation payments again to get the year started. uh lunch fund. Basically, we spent $663.72 and then that was for mostly 550 of it was for software for the food kitchen to run the recipes and all the whatever it does. Whatever it does, every secret amazing All right, major maintenance. Um, we
032expended $87,150. Again, that was painting and some other projects that we wrapped up. The roof, the elementary was paid for on your visit for the agenda. Those things that that was a this is this first month is we spent more this month than we did all of last year. And I And this is we're just starting. It's going to be a totally different year than last year. So school housing I spent almost $6,000. So we have 92.21% of that. >> Spend it on upkeep. >> Yeah. So we've been trying to do some I don't know if any of it was part of the roofing projects just started. So today and yesterday they ripped our voices down place and just little things like that to have the subs broke down and stuff like that. So yeah
033that that roofing project as well as siding project on that house outstanding right now. Those will be some pretty big expenses coming into this account. >> Any questions? I can actually just look that up. That was extended for as far as just professional services. Um just probably having some people look at some things. Sure. >> Where we're at with any projects. There's so many going on. I'm not sure which one was accomplished this last month. Yeah, it may be. Well, if it's professional services, it's probably not just materials. Let's look it up. I will. All right. So, again, um, no capital construction expenses. So, that is 100% of that budget to the appreciation reserve. We talked about nothing there yet. So, and 100% of that budget being special revenues which is our gray nuts. We've
034expended 73,2486 in the month of July. So we have 82.17% of that remaining and any questions? So yeah, first month just getting started. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> Yes. >> Purchases exceeding 5,000 need to run through those real fast. >> Yeah, I will just look at this. I think that amount matches up with this prairie industries. So side by side is our our contract with Kerry Cole to literacy consulting and working with this on construction for the fall. That's Perry Industries is I think what we're looking at in terms Rentals. Don't remember that one though. Might just look that up. Clear Creek Recruit are leased to the direct 25,000 bridge the gap 37,950 is consulting contract for the fall for instructional support and curriculum support. Elite Metal Tools was a CTE grant that we
035had from the state. the new a teacher coming in went through the whole chop when she got here first weeks and tried to pinpoint every possible item along with some community members Jay Holland and others stepping in to help with is there anything we possibly need in there and I think this one specifically is uh bend tester for the welding program so that it I I don't know that it operates a whole lot differently. I think it's a 50 ton hydraulic press that um students can use after they get done with a weld. They can use the press to >> test it, see if it breaks or does break, whatever that that is. Uh there was conversation around that. The I guess a lot of uh the that type of welding maybe sometimes doesn't enter
036a lot of programs until students are at the college level. Um, I was actually really excited about the fact that our our new teacher coming in looking at our welding program was wanting equipment that would push it to where others are thinking like, well, that maybe is a college level thing. So, I think that bodess well for where she's at in terms of preparedness for the job and maybe push us forward from where we're at in terms of our students and their their welding. >> Can I talk about her? Absolutely. I think she >> I watched her at the fair out there and she was right in the middle of everything, helping every kid, not just her, but every kid in the ring doing everything. And I a big thumbs up for her. >> That's
037fantastic to hear. Uh I would really appreciate it if you could share that with her Thursday night when you guys are back. >> Fantastic. Definitely do it again. Fantastic. >> She was with and like say didn't matter if there were 4 MFA kids or just kids that just needed a hug. >> Yeah. >> You know, she was there and she participated in the community stuff >> and she is just fantastic with our kids. >> That's good. That's one thing I' I'd been able to see her with kids to this point other than when she's going out checking out pics for everybody weighing and hearing about those. But I'm not. Yep. Hopefully hopefully that is a good sign. I think lots of good signs going and hold on to her for a while and build a
038program. Be fantastic. >> I don't think you need me to go to the FFA convention. I think she can handle it. than I would. >> Oh my hand right now. >> Shake your hand. >> There there there may be reasons such uh you know last year we did it because we felt like we needed a little bit of assistance. This next year we might do it just to comply with state law in terms of supervision. But who's gonna super >> You know, it may be more important that we find somebody worth worth that job. When I showed up there last time, they'd lost him. Nobody could find nobody find where he was at. So, >> no, she's she's fantastic. I like >> rain tide roofing is that elementary roof. Excel coating is what the first
039layer couple first couple layers paint the gym black and gray and Sacramento Thomas is the audit >> underneath that line is Rock Creek Griffin. That's the one that was for the rentals. So, I'm not sure we have that one. >> The prair prairie industries. >> Yeah, we're gonna look that one up. >> Okay. >> I just That one is the Well, no, Greg's Greg's got a point. That one is not That one is not the rental. So, we're going to figure out what Pra Industries is and I'll visit with you tomorrow about it. Um, Rock Creek Roofing is that rental expense. That is all of the roofing that needed done on >> it was half ding rods >> 50% deposit. >> Okay. >> So, Rockre also has some roofing to do for us on this
040end of the main building as well as a couple of the other rentals in addition to Ellen Rods. Those were, if you'll remember back to May when we were approving those, they were the like $1,000 here, $1,000 there type of roof projects. >> Oh, yours industries that would that be but that would be in transportation. No, >> but it's just shown that it was spent. If that is probably correct. We We got grill guards coming on four vehicles and they wanted 50% up front, too. So, >> thank you. >> There's a lot of prairie industry LLC's out there. >> Yeah, this one this one's company in in western South Dakota that is going to build build the guards for new vehicles for us. So, >> perfect. >> That's exactly what it is. >> Good job,
041Kelly. I just didn't know. >> I I didn't recognize the company name because I I don't know that I've seen that on the stuff that they've sent this way. So, >> okay. Discussion items. WSBA information. I am going to need help with the Golden Bell Award and the Champion of Education. Both both of those are an opportunity for us to nominate uh somebody that we think Golden Bell is one that's I think that's the one somebody outside of education that we feel has had a very strong influence on education. Last year we nominated Senator Ginsky um along with a couple other districts up here. He didn't win that. Um the champion of education award is nominating somebody within the education space that we feel has had a a strong impact on education and this is
042thinking toward um not our district. It's thinking like >> big picture impact on education. Most years we don't nominate people. If if we have an idea for somebody that we feel is deserving of those rec that level of recognition, it's we have the opportunity to put forward to WSPA. Uh they recognize these two awards at the banquet. If you have a mind of anyone that you think would be deserving of such recognition, let me know. Chairman Pack and I can right now >> a consolidated grant spending. >> Greg does a pretty good job of keeping this updated, but we need to as part of our applications for the consolidated grants. We need to have it as an agenda item on the on agendas often enough during the year. Uh that it's reminding people that they
043can come contribute to where they think we should spend our grant money. Um if there are areas, there are a couple grants that we receive specifically title one and title four that if uh homeschool families or if there were a private schooling district, they could come in and and meet with us to share funding. Um but we haven't had any homeschool response to the notice we sent out. This is mostly there to provide families and community an opportunity to weigh in on how we spend. >> Okay. Thank you. Um the WHSAA administrator schoolboard trustee pass. This is a season pass ex does it include the state? It does include state and I I can't remember how much it is. They are $50 and it includes admission to any WHSA sponsored event as well as at
044the regional and state level. Uh everywhere's got a hospitality room put together and it includes the admission to the hospitality room as well. >> Uh next one. Um >> when do we need to let do we let Jolene know? Yeah. And it there's no deadline on it. If you want one right now and you know you'll use it for the year, we get you one. Um if down the line for some reason you develop a keen interest in basketball because both of our teams are going to be going state, then let us know. We can get you a pass at that point. >> Cool. >> Last year we didn't get any additional. We do have two. Um probably Jennifer and I will take those. So if we if any board member would like one of
045them to support her another pass or five and get them coming. >> Okay. Our data property. I'm not up to speed on this. I just got >> I had this as an agenda item. uh just as a pure discussion item and uh it's a little bit more pertinent discussion given that we did receive an offer for purchase this afternoon. So I think both conversations are probably still pertinent unless the first one being the offer uh negates the need for the second. Give me a I need a minute to look over real fast. >> Absolutely. >> Why is all of this slack? >> It's out. It's not part of the offer. >> Is this a cash on? >> Great. The earnest money was crossed out and the inspection was crossed out. >> Okay. >> Previously there
046was an ask to to fix something. That's why in Yeah, that's why the inspection was crossed out so that we don't run into another spot where things might fall to that. >> Do you happen to know off the top of your head, not where we were at last? >> Uh, the offer was 150. Okay. >> Yeah. And then with the the ask for repairs would have brought it essentially down to 142. >> What is it? What is title commitment obligations? >> Title commitment is uh what the title agency does. They write off a commitment. They also provide the insurance saying that title is good and they provide that to both seller and buyer just warrants the transaction so that if something is bad and this property is got I I've never dealt with property that
047has a title so thick. There's been a lot happen over the over the years over the last 110 years honestly. Um it it is a variable history of this area to go through this title and title agents build that and then they say it's correct when we sell this property it is us selling a property that we own so that nobody else can make a claim. So does this remove liability? >> The the title agency provides insurance so that such that it no longer would be our liability or the buyers. If something is found to be wrong, the title agency is taking that away that liability. >> But we're waving the title commitment obligation on page additional. That's on his side. Just that's just going to speed closing >> and then we are not contracted
048anymore. So, but he's we're sold within the 120 days. Okay. So, we do still pay. >> Yeah. Within the 120 days following and if it was if it was a buyer that was brought to us by our agent. Okay. Are we okay with all of the tool shed by the best block or all items in Wellhouse? >> That is >> it's just purely the well stuff. >> Security camera system. >> We already took the security camera system. I've let Carlin know to tell the buyer today that >> it's not there. It's not there. >> Okay. >> Is it still on there or do we bring it here? >> Well, we took another one down there because we didn't start for oursel >> and we hadn't brought it back yet. So, >> there is there is
049a little propane tank down there. >> Got a 300. >> Yeah, it's maybe a 300. This propane tank was at the corner of the property over here. It was running the Bunson burners in the science classroom. In the time I've been here, we never put propane in it. And when we moved it earlier this summer, it was at 100%. the amount of gas we're using our months of burners is not not so when we did the greenhouse I had uh when they ran propane for the greenhouse we also ran a new line all the way from tank farm to the science classroom so we could eliminate I think that tank was a hazard to be honest at the corner of the property but it it's we have no use for the tank if if we
050don't include it in this transaction probably put it in an auction. Somebody can buy. >> So, do we need to let him know that that's there? >> It's in his offer because he knows it's there. >> But he also thought the security cameras are there. >> So, I'm just saying we at least clarify that. >> I he can't he can't be requesting anything that's not there. And it can't be requested that we will add something to the property. There is that propane tank down there. It's It needs painted. We have another propane tank. Um, you guys give Greg and I have permission on this one, too, if if you're so inclined. We have another propane tank sitting on property over here. I think it's uh three or 500. And I've got an offer on that
051tank for 400 bucks to get rid. >> Do we need to or in the future? No, we took the big tank. That tank is was servicing a house over here of ours and we took the big tank from our bay that put it at that house. So, it's >> the value of the tank. >> Uh, if you're going to buy a new tank today, I do not believe some. I think they're pretty expensive. >> I think a new tank's going because propane is nonclosive. >> Yeah. So propane tanks typically value you might have to change the fittings on but otherwise is there propane in it? >> No propane in it. >> Okay. Something to think about. We want to put it on the agenda for tomorrow or think about it for another month. >> Yes.
052No. If you like it on the agenda put it does it also doesn't need to be voted on. just support 400 bucks say go we'll go >> this is always buy if we say no what do you think >> well we've had that experience once >> same time >> yeah you can judge from past experience I'd be inclined to say yes >> I don't know like are we talking about the tank at our VA >> I don't know if it really matters like what else we gonna do with So, >> how big is that one? Did you say >> I think it's 300. It's smallest tank we have. >> And what's the one that we've got? I >> think it's a 500. >> Is it easily trans? Like I don't I guess we don't. But
053isn't it nice to have one that easily to move around in case we need it? >> Whether it's that one on our radar or the other one. >> Yeah. If if we can come up with a use case for needing it, >> right? Uh, >> and we own the ones that own the rentals and stuff, too. None of those are leased. >> Yeah, we own We own every tank we've got. And I >> Yeah, we don't have anywhere for a tank. >> Yeah. And I can't think of that you would need. >> So, this one is you you think this one here is 500? >> I think it is 500. And then that was 300. >> Yeah. >> I This might be an unpopular opinion, but I almost feel like we should return a 500
054to because school to a big building to heat 300 gallon tank. Well, and he I mean if he wants the one that's there, he could sell it and get bigger one or a lot of I don't know what they charge, but a lot of people just lease their their company. So, he's got options, but or I'm just leaving the one there. Yeah, if he knows it's there. >> Yeah, >> and I think where we're at in the season and >> he said it >> the property and everything. I think if we don't take the answer. >> All right. Everybody have the information that they need going into tomorrow night on that property? I >> think so. Is it on the consent action? >> It's on It will be a a new action item. It was
055not going to be an action item because this conversation was going to be uh more about big picture what what we like to do with the property because this this didn't exist. So >> uh I I get the general feeling listening in the conversation that we don't need to have that bigger picture conversation >> unless you want to just in case it falls through. This is our plan going forward. So we don't have to discuss that next if it does close or something. >> Well, it should keep opening the same thing. >> August 26th, right? >> Two weeks. >> Yeah. It's pretty fast. >> Okay. I mean, we can if it doesn't close for some reason, we can have that conversation in September. >> September. or give us time to say if it doesn't close
056we want to be leg up to you madam chairman >> I think let's let's see how this turns out so we throw out options okay so we'll add that to the action item for tomorrow excellent disposal of two MPDs we are going to list them through the public for us. They're not listed yet. >> They're not listed now. >> We need to approve that. >> No, same thing. I mean, that the price that they're going to end up going forward. >> What's What's wrong with them? These aren't the ones that were the gas thing, right? >> This is number 17 and 18 that were So, we had permission from the state to replace them. We got the Ford excursions to replace them. And after that they can no longer transport stew. >> Right. >> We
057can do with them whatever we wish. I'm just basically saying I think it'd be they're s doing nothing right now. >> But they're mechanically sound. >> They're mechanically sound. I think one one of them and I will post it. Um one of them's going to need a battery for whoever buys it. >> Okay. Yeah, I mean I think they could push 3500 if if the right person sees it. and Trusty Pruss pushing us to use public surplus rather than uh the auction platform that we used previously. It's certainly going to see more eyes and I know there are a lot of people that watch that auction site like a hawk with with mine for a deal. In the right hands, these things are probably worth five. But nobody's going to pay that if they don't
058have the wherewithal to mechanic it themselves. No one's going to want to buy a bottle. >> What kind of mileage? >> Uh up anything that's under 200,000 miles. These are both uh one's 173,000, one's 175,000. I can't see that. What? Can you make that bigger? What year are they? >> 2004 and 2005. >> You call XO. >> Yeah. And neither neither of these vehicles has been uh been an issue for us. In fact, last couple transportation directors, while our our drivers have not preferred these vehicles for the last couple of years, they they do run a little rougher than not engine wise. Tracking down the road, they they operate a little rougher uh than some of our others, but we have not needed to maintain these vehicles at any level above oil changes in the
059last three years. and roughly right. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> I think they're three quarters time. Yeah. >> Could we maybe take one of these? And it's just a thought for the MFA, you know, like for No, it's not tall kids. It's to haul supplies and and like to go meet and stuff like that. Could that be a possibility? >> We could if we wanted a dedicated vehicle for that purpose. That's what he's talking about. >> Right now, the vast majority of the time we if we stick a kid in one of our Suburbans and do that and all the supplies, then it's a activity reimburseable expense. If we keep out a vehicle that we're saying is purely only for supplies, it won't be. I I think we've got enough MPDs. I mean there there's never
060going to be a time at which we don't have a vehicle for the FFA program to use >> like for hauling settling and welding product stuff like that you know supplies that would kind of damage a a fancy car is what I'm thinking about just something that >> sure >> you know that could hold welding rod and just whatever they could stuck >> I think right now what we're using for that is our transportation pickup with the dump bed. I we could definitely get creative and come up with with a reason to use these things. I just think that just about anything we come up with, they're probably going to get about 150 miles a year. and we're there's some cost to you know played it and insured it. >> I appreciate that. I think
061Mr. Roar and I have probably both thought long and hard over every possible way that we've been able to come up to use them. That's a novel one to me and I I like the idea. uh just we we've got the and I think that these can serve somebody else in a capacity that that they will last longer because they're not sitting >> the money from this go back into the general fund. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> What's the bottom here? Would you like there to be one? >> I would not. If if it's left to me, I will not put a bottom on it. >> Yeah. >> Yes. >> I'll just list it and it'll go for what it'll go. >> Last ve the last vehicle we auctioned, we went for 7,700 bucks, 8,000
062bucks. Uh that was a pickup newer than this with plow line. >> And how does this auction work? Like for a week they take bids or something and then >> they recommend two weeks. >> Yeah. Public surplus is like a national thing. >> Yeah. I get emails every once in a while like because you can put on there like what you're looking for and they'll send you emails of like this item is similar to what you want and then you bid on it or depending on where you want like you have a per like a diameter of miles from where you are that you might be interested in purchasing stuff. So, um, and it's similar to your other online options where you put like your max cap. So, it'll automatically bump you until you've reached
063your max, >> right? >> And then it emails you if you've been out bid past your max. I think it's a great platform. We've bought several things off of it, mostly from Joan, but >> Jul does a lot. Other school districts are using this platform >> and why do uses it a lot too. >> It's for public entities. >> Yeah. So, you'll see Game and Fish selling stuff on there. Do >> Yeah. Fire district can use it. >> But I can't sell something. >> No, >> you can find lots of things. now. >> Why'd you tell? >> So, I'm excited. I he told you. I'm excited to see what those bring up. >> If if you'd like, I'm I'm certain that chairman Bruset can help you get signed up so you can buy something on
064it. >> I might be bidding on these depend survives, >> right? equal equal opportunity for >> it would be perfect for a kid a parent that has a soon to be 16. >> That is very That is very true. >> There you go. Oh, >> no matter who runs into it in the school parking lot, nobody cares. That's right. >> Okay. Uh school calendar. >> I just mostly mostly an informative deal. Um I don't again it's not something we need to vote on but uh on September 5th the our DSC had a a great idea. Last few winters we've had the opportunity to do a virtual day and we when we do end up having one because of weather roads whatever else it's kind of scrabble and they they felt that September 5th is a
065Friday we have school that day because it's the Friday after Labor Day. um and would like to run a a virtual day that day. Uh our virtual days would run from 8 to one instruction and then support from teachers from 1 to 4 finish the day and mostly just information for you if if if there's any objection to that certainly listen to it. Otherwise, I think that'd be the plan to make sure that our teachers are practiced and ready if that happens to occur with less notice. And uh similarly, November 13th is a day that we've kind of been thinking toward having a a trainer come out for the RCAmmies both for literacy and and English instruction and vocabulary instruction because she's fantastic. But addition to that would be um some some help with the
066houses as well. There we're looking also at a sources training and there's potential depending on directions that we go and conversations that we need to have that a sources training could take place uh on this November day. And the way that it would run is is take all of our staff and probably our secondary students. So November 13th could possibly be a day. This is one we would vote on um between now and November if it does happen to occur, but might be such that we cancel school for the elementary students and we we have school a half day for the secondary students something like that mostly just >> things to think but we the September one do we need to yeah you're I mean do we need to >> school Great idea. Don't do
067it before I mean this before our next meeting, right? >> Yeah. No. Yes, for sure. We don't need a vote, but if if anybody has says that flat, don't do it. Let's have that conversation and and make a decision. But um otherwise, if you're okay with rolling with it, we'll just it's school day. It's a school day as it stay. What did the team? >> Well, I visited with you going to visit with you guys first. Um DSC's 100% in favor of it. Um >> nobody likes going to school on Friday, right? >> Nobody likes Monday off. We don't I'm curious what I think it's a good test run. Uh but I'm curious what attendance will look like virtually with I think in the p like your virtual days normally had pretty good turnout. >>
068Certainly our elementary attendance on virtual days has been uh really really good. Secondary attendance has dropped but we've never gone I don't think we've gone below 60 70% have >> I don't think so. I can see there being issues with Well, I guess well stay with parents for it to be a surprise that they're planning on their kids to go to school then but they're normally home. It's don't see any issue with it. I don't see >> if we the RCA training is that something that would be parts of it anyway be good for us to attend also. >> Absolutely. >> Yeah. And we're we're just trying to pin down a contract and contract come to the board and then we make a decision on that in terms of what a school day might look
069like. But we don't even have a it's a preliminary conversation between Mrs. Betsy and company at this point. >> Do you find on those virtual days or really down there it's really hard to get you know virtual? We have had uh in the past there's always two or three students that teachers have just worked to put something else together because we know it's not going to be a possibility that they get on virtual. So they'll do a packet or >> okay that type of >> as long as those children won't be penalized to be on it. That to me honestly is the the most important piece of doing this little bit of practice run is teachers have two weeks to get prepped and they can have those conversations with students and with families. And if
070if families know that they're not they're going to need something other than a a Chromebook and the virtual experience. Um if teachers know that going into this day, they know that for the rest of the year. But sometimes when they get there, you know, it's like, "Oh, this morning we can't get there." You mostly don't have time for that. You don't have to snap. >> Absolutely. >> Just worried about the kids that can't get Starlink work. I don't know. Starlink sat works everywhere. Oh, >> but it's expensive. >> Yeah, it wouldn't make sense unless you could only turn it on when you needed it. Some of those minis or something. >> Yeah, >> I don't want the options off or something. >> It'll be a good test run regardless. >> I I'm interested in in
071doing the uh test run as well. I think that's important because we don't want surprises when down the road and then the parents are upset because they didn't know how to use everything and get hooked up. I think it's a good idea. >> Perfect. >> Okay, there you go. >> Thank you. >> Okay, dates for community engagement Thursday house party won't go off. >> I've been hearing you loud and clear on the radio. >> That's right. So >> really >> that's great. >> So you know the whole county is coming. >> Fantastic. >> Are you ready Aubrey? >> When you say you is that me? >> Yep. It's your voice, isn't it? >> On radio. >> Yeah. >> Good. >> It's like a almost like AI. I mean, did you AI this thing? >> It's
072like and I heard it and then my husband mentioned heard. Yeah. So >> maybe I had a conversation with S. [Laughter] It's a guy that's like reads part of I don't maybe it's part of an article. >> Maybe it's not Chase >> and then it's your voice >> like elaborating on what he says and then he makes another statement and >> so it's not like a PSA it's like a here's it's in the news. >> Yeah. It's like Chase talks about the teachers coming back and we're excited for the new year and we've got a great group and then I can't remember what one is. >> I remember that conversation >> and then the last one is was talking about the work on bringing the community together. So, >> I love I love the fact
073that our media just does a fantastic job for us. >> Fantastic. Okay. And then Wednesday, September 3rd, community lunch, French dig what I read. Okay, there it is. Looking forward. I would love to see some record-breaking community members and I'm looking forward to the presentation from the kids. Like I missed that the last couple times I went. I thought it was fun to see see their little bodies get up there and present what they've been doing. >> It it should be an exciting year for community lunches and and other events. Uh House House KOA is going to be planning this community lunch. one of the elementary houses. And I I think they're going to set a bar, fairly high bar that every house thereafter is going to be trying to eclipse. And I I'm just
074excited to see uh what our students are able to put together for >> me, too. I would like to be serenated at least once this year. Uh, >> no recorders. >> You hear that, Jonathan? >> He did hear it. >> He heard it. >> Put it in there. >> What? >> He's gonna sing. He's gonna sing to you. >> I love it. >> I heard it. I'm just driving right now. >> I was hoping. I >> I'll sing you a song that day. >> Yay. I'll send you an email beforehand just so you have a heads up. >> Perfect. But Jesse's saying that you won't like it. >> It's a joyful noise. >> Okay. Uh let's show you review our agenda quickly. I didn't have anybody. >> The uh WSBA voting delegate that is for
075like what we did last Who were you the voting delegate last September? No, Deb was Deb. >> Yes, >> I was. We'll think on who we want to push in that direction in November. Okay. Otherwise, I would highly recommend that we read over the person electronic devices and the firearms one last time before tomorrow. >> Y already that lady over there. Yeah. >> Okay. And then let's make sure we go through and and read through the these teacher evaluations systems, the student handbook, and then the library partnership before we make a motion. >> Library partnership. Uh Zach will be here tomorrow from the library to answer questions if there are any as well as to I just discussed I I shared details from the survey from all that answered in the community and I think
076that what I got from that is everybody values have good access to books for students and I think we'll have good discussion around that but that's the intention behind the partnership did send one over he does want us to have in that that we will have students have access to the library uh across the way. And I heard from the community both in the public comment as well as the uh survey results that they wanted that to be a possibility but certainly didn't want it to be a have to do in bad weather. So I made sure to write in thatou that weather dependent weather and circumstances dependent that students would have we we would be working trying to work in the public library to uh the educational program as well. >> Okay. trying to
077benefit both both entities and keep a lively public library in the community with more traffic and have a better selection of books for our students within our own library. Um, are you prepared to address concerns of students being having access to books that they maybe wouldn't in a school setting? >> Yeah, I think the MOU does uh address that pretty well. the library, the public library system to my understanding, and Zach could probably speak to this better, but actually allows parents to go in and individually put safeguards on books that their students are allowed to check out. And personally, I think that every parent should have uh say 100% over what books their kids read and they should have 0% say over what books other parents kids read. I like that system. >> Good. >>
078Uh, are there any changes to the bus routes that make it? >> Uh, we've talked to just about every parent on the routes and there hasn't been to this point. We did have a couple changes. I think that Mr. Hansen actually updated that document, so it's probably up to date. But our drivers are are presenting uh some some interesting situations. So times have times have needed to change on the routes a little bit. And again uh parents have been contacted with regard to those changes. But one of our drivers is taking a college class and starting 7:30 in the morning. So that that rout's going to get kids here at 7:30 so that she can jump on and take a college class. Um, one of our drivers is uh going to have uh students taking
079part in the football in Buffalo. Uh, so she's not going to be able to run that route in the afternoon. So, right now the plan is that Mr. Hans will run that route in the afternoon and then potentially if we had a six o'clock route, the main driver on that route would ride. just keen that we're working out moving into day one, but I'm excited to get to Monday to make sure that it all works. >> We have Granduffalo. >> Ry's on Buffalo. Okay. >> Any other questions for for tomorrow? And the auditors are going to present. They'll be here to present. >> He's going to do it virtual. >> Oh, virtual. >> Okay. Um I have one question on the student handbooks. Are they actually a handbook or is there have to be online?
080Is that they are online? >> It is. It is online. Yeah, if if any student or parent would like a handbook, we can hit print and give them a handbook. It's just I think historically up until, you know, a few years ago, we printed that up for every kid, every parent. And unfortunately, Yeah. Unfortunately, the way things run is, you know, you go into the gym to talk about handbook changes and give every kid a copy of the handbook and then have a dumpster full of handbooks on your way out gyms. So, >> I would like everybody to hear though because it's important. If you want a print copy of it, by all means, we can we can print you out anything any document for the from the district, not just the handbook. I think
081that would maybe be brought up to the parents if they're here like tomorrow. >> Yeah. >> Sure. >> Great stuff. And maybe also the personal electronic devices have been printed out. So there's no doubt in the classroom. This is how this states, you know, and kids get, well, I don't know, but I didn't know about it. You know, it's there, you know, like maybe posted in their classroom or something. >> Do they is there a signature portion of that in their reg registration >> like an agreement? >> The student handbook is linked in their registration. So parents and students have both clicked that they read it and agreed to it. I don't think we've got the cell phone policy in the registration packet. >> Yeah. I hear what you're saying with that and I I
082think I think that we're probably on the same page having something that says what the rule is, not necessarily the policy, but have something that says what the rule is. >> Yeah. >> And that way there's no gray area. It's it's there. They can see that that is the the rule. >> Yeah. After I visit with the students day one, there will be no gray area. But reminders are nice. >> Sometimes you forget. >> Eliminate room for excuses. >> Yes, it does. >> Okay. Anything else on that? Okay. Do you have anything else, J? >> Um on the public library one where the public library doesn't open till 3 most days. What are we going to do? Are they going to adjust? >> Zack Zach's going to speak toward that. But what what his intention
083is is that our staff, regardless of who our staff ends up being for that, is he's just going to train along their system. So library want >> kind of like a librarian part or something. >> Yeah, this one's open all the time. >> This one is open all the time. Yeah. and we'll remain open all the time regardless of what we do tomorrow night. >> Okay, great conversation. Okay, so we have an executive session to make a motion to go into executive session. Thank you. I have to move into executive session. I have to say bye right to discuss person. >> Is it just chasing the board or straight? >> Just me and the board. I'm still here. I don't know if you guys hear me. >> Okay, >> we turn We're gonna turn the
084meeting off and then do a phone call with you. >> Sounds good. >> Okay. >> Thanks, guys. Y thank you. I don't even know what I'm gonna say before I say so. I just put it on there because I
