0011 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Oh NO principle vacations ok it is six oh one, I will call the meeting to order. 2 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) It seems like I get my internet working. 3 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Just a moment it's getting there, I think. 4 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Yeah. Okay, is there any comments or questions from the floor? Yes. Yes. 5 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Please all hear you. And then my question was, I know I noticed the was outside, do I have 5 min in cutoff or would it be possible to get a few more? 6 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) We keep it consistent because if anybody else did come in, then they say, well, you gave someone seven, why don't I get some recorded, so take a look. Yep, ok.

002Well I'll talk fast if I'm still speaking, feel free to cut me off. And thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak. I think everybody knows who I am. Have the opportunity to teach math from pay school. 7 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) This past year, teaching geometry, apply geometry and AI algret at some point this evening, you will be discussing my letter of resignation from my position. Please know that this letter is not something that I excuse me, that you wanted to write what was forcing to instead of having a termination on my record. 8 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Oh, I know that I've been a topic of much description this past school year, and I'm gonna take a few minutes to let you know how my school year went. And unfortunately it has

003been a lot of misinformation said from the entirety school year. 9 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) To be honest, I never imagined that would be here at this point. A year ago, people being excited to have the opportunity to teach here at this is my home town the school district unled to import my kids go to school. I scrambled towards teaching the rest of. 10 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) My career. At the start of the school year, when we had our 1st superintendent conference say, I found out that I'd never been added to the school email list and wasn't receiving any emails intended for the staff. While that was rectified in a day or two 2nd day of classes to be added to the high school email at list, which was a health of welcome for

004a new teacher. 11 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) During my interview over the summer I asked for lack of a better term what textbook shows my age was used in the math department, and I was told that the department used something called emath instructions and would be given a username and login should I be hired? When I was hired, I log in for emath instructions from the complete course outline days. 12 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Today lesson plans, notes, homework, quizzes tests, and everything that was specifically aligned to the New York State's next generation mathematic standards. Briefly checked in friend of mine who was a department share at Doulgael Central school, and who I taught with before my kids were born, she highly recommended enough instruction to use in the classroom and for reference to Ultra

005had an 80 % passing rate tourn exams for the 2425 school year. 13 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) In many of my meetings with mr. Mateino last school year, I was told that there was nothing wrong with using or with teaching from a textbook especially your 1st year teaching and adjusting from there. However, part way through the school year, especially when my students decided not to do any homework, I was then told I shouldn't be using email instruction and was. 14 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Never given an alternative. Still, in meetings with Misterno I was told there was nothing wrong with teaching from the textbook, and that was what he used to do as an alphabet teacher, and that was not the only contradiction that I had to work with last year. Because I was the

0061st year teacher, dr. Pitch conducted one of my observations towards the beginning of the school year. In the post observation meeting, one thing he mentioned and one thing I'd heard him say more than once is that the discrepancy between students course averages and the region's scores needs to be fixed. E.g., students should not have a 95 course average. 15 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) And then get 65 on the regions and I wholeheartedly agree with this and push my students to do their best in my geometry course and aligned it with the state standards and region systems, which is what a region's course should do. And the push out of that comfort zone was in my course and asked to complete work on a daily basis students complaint. 16 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Oh, not to

007me. Parents complained. Although not to me. During the Q2 in a meeting with mr. Petino, he mentioned that students had been complaining about my geometry course to him. And I asked if he could send the students to me so that we could discuss them and get them where they needed to be. Did not see any students. In December, there was a very not kind Facebook post that was circulated of all the parents who had commented on that saying that they had spoken to the teacher one I never heard. 17 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) The biggest misconceptions that was put forth about me last year was an issue of a local final versus a region's exam. When I found out that the previous geometry teacher gave both a local final and a region's exam and split

008the final average up into 10 % of the region's grade and 10 % of the final exam, I was confused. 18 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) This is not something that we had done when I talked before my kids were born in my last district and it was not something that made sense to me. I spoke with former math teachers, parents who had spoke students in my class and kids who had taken the regions courses as well as a few students, those who were in my courses and those who were not in my courses. And a lot of people agreed with me that it didn't make sense to have. 19 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Of both the local final and the region's exam since it would take away from studying for that region's exam to administer

009a local final. In the Q3, I went to guidance to discuss changing this and it was immediately ringed out by one of the guidance counselors who told me in short it was foolish to get rid of the local final and it wasn't something that this whole did but could not provide me with reasons why. 20 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Everything on hold until I consulted with Carolyn Advans, who was my mentor and Carolyn Hammens, who was my co teacher for apply geometry book who became a very good mentor for my geometry course as well. We discussed it and we gave some pros and cons and. 21 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) They came to the conclusion that we did not have to give a local final in geometry since this is the course that I was

010teaching. Please keep in mind that this was the Q3. Again I went down some guidance. Madam Peruzy changed how the grades were done in geometry. We did get rid of the local final, and at the start of the Q4, I told this to all of my students, we were beginning a new unit. 22 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) In geometry and I mentioned to them this is the start of the Q4 and how they needed to do their best for the Q4. A week later, we had a native partner meeting and in that decating in that meeting, my department share who I only saw during those monthly meetings told me that I was giving a local file and that's how it was done on geometry. In order to not promote. 23 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) On

011that meeting. I made a note to find a time to meet with her privately so we could discuss that. That same week was my meeting with mr. Betino, Doctoril and a union rep that I brought with me where I was told to give a local final instead of relying solely on the region's exam. And I was also asked if I would be ok with either mr. Taller or Madamen from teaching with me for the rest of the year. I'm not sure what was told to administration, but I do know for sure that my department share for some reason things that I changed how the local final and regions exams would be waited for geometry the day after our department meeting when I was told to give a local. 24 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) And this

012is absolutely not true. Last summer during my interview, I was asked why the district should why the district should hire me and why it would stand out for other can stand out from other candidates and what my responses was that NO one would work harder to be. 25 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Which is true. Regardless of what was said about me by students or my co workers or my department or administration, I did not give up. They gave you students the best subscription that I could give them and I did it and. 26 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Excuse me, and I'm absolutely sure that that made mistakes this this past school year and for sure was parent communications when students were already behind or not completing work, they were not passing or already failing. 27

013"Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) And I would have loved to give you the opportunity to change this. To take the advice from a friend of mine, was a department share at OSJ and from communication at the beginning of the year. Something we discussed when her kids were playing baseball this season. 28 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) I would have loved to use your own suggestion about contacting all the parents within the 1st two weeks with something positive about their child. And I would have loved to take mr. Vitino's suggestion and homework with the three strikes you're out at you. If a student mrs. three homework assignments, to contact their parents doesn't become a habit. 29 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Unfortunately, all of this was all of this advice was given to me in the 34 quarters this

014past school year. There's much more than I can say about this past school year, but I unfortunately do not have the time and I'm not made enough to think that he's speaking this evening will change the outcome of the school year in the rective. 30 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) And it's looking like will be in need of that teachers for the upcoming year. You haven't seen the administration to not love what happened to the new teachers. Please support them and have the day. 31 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) And should students and parents contact you about them, please make sure that they have spoken to the teachers and please give them all of the support that I did not have. Thank you for taking the time to listen to me and I apologize that. 32 "Canajoharie

015CS BoE" (69540608) Thank you the next thing is reports. 33 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Minister owns the office, the president of the Board of education. 34 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Are you hearby the pledge and declare that I will support the constitution of the United States of America, the constitution of the state of New York, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the position of board of Education president of the school district according to the. 35 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Best of my ability. 36 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Thank you. A couple things, one building project, just keep you updated on the geo terminal project. 37 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) A lot of moving and shaking still. If you want behind the knowledge, you're gonna see a lot of earths moving and a

016lot of stuff being put back. Our middle schools kind of looks like you walking today, it looks like something out of the science lab, but all that will be put back together starting next week. So we are on. 38 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) East to continue to get our main offices back and the 8th grade wing back by the end of next week and then they'll rifle through the 6th and 7th grade wing the week after and then they'll be back for the mid of the week after that, so the 25th. 39 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) They'll be able to get into their classroom. So everything looks to be going the best it can. It's a bigger job than I expected in terms of seeing everything kind of move from the, the wells to all

017the stuff that had to go inside the school. But as we know, it's gonna be well worth it when it's all done. Happy with the ways. 40 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Progressing a lot of work being done, some second shift stuff being done as well, so I think we're, we're in pretty good shape overall. Cross my fingers on that because I've seen it go better way sometimes, but I trust Evan or our instruction manager and he reaffirmed me tonight again. Besides this ladder that was sitting outside the playground, which wasn't a good idea. Besides that, I feel like we're, we're in pretty good shape. So excited about seeing the. 41 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) The pieces put put back together and by next summer have air conditioning through the entire, you know, facility which will

018be nice. We'll never have to worry about the heating issue for both buildings again, which is which is kind of nice especially in this game. Just stuff stuff to start to think about. 42 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) As we talked in a retreat about a five year plan, we'll start to dive into this in September and what we'll do is take a little chunk each month, start to take a look at some things. I put together kind of a five year plan to kind of look it over as well, give me back some feedback. 43 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Feedback on it and we also just finishing up the reserve amounts. You see some of the reserves tonight, but there's some interest that she has to put into each reserve. So we'll have some, some

019final numbers in September to kind of give out and we'll start to look at enrollment. We'll start to look at. 44 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) You know what the five year plan would look like. So e.g., I took the last seven years budgets we've got 2.5 %. So it took that 2.5 % and then contributed that to the rest of the budget for the next five years and keep it consistent and then kept it consistent with what we've been getting in foundation A and the 2 % tax gap and things of that nature and kinda. 45 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) See what it would look like. So, we'll report that out. So start to think about some things that we might start to plan. I don't think anything has to be done next year or

020possibly even the year after that, but we want to start to put some feelers out and a plan in place of what it might look like here in 2930 3031. The enrollment numbers. 46 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Are telling. I guess is probably the best, best way to say so for the most part, that's where we are, and there is a in your agenda, not. Is it down? No. 47 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) It is just have to update it. Sorry. There is a reserve plan in there but again Leah still has to separate the the what you call the interest out. 48 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) In there. So that kind of makes sense. We'll report on the final stuff. You'll see a lot of, you know, stars next to it just read down

021below, some of this is just an estimate at this point, but wanted to kind of get that out there for you. 49 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Okay. And then we Also for the update. The next is we're gonna start to review policy. Yeah, if you wanna take a look at the at the preserve plan you can. That 2.7 million in there for capital that's for the 2930 or 2729 projects that's kind of gone. 50 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) And then that 1 million over $1 million is kind of, we still have to I think spend some of it because it's from the 2025 project and we'll see what flushes out on there and then you kind of see where the rest falls. So. 51 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Any questions? I'll take a look at

022it. We'll start to dive into it in September. That makes sense? Okay so these these the bottom figures are yearly yeah so that last figures where it will be. 52 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) By the end of August. That makes sense? And the figures over time. What are these figures here though? That's just all the last year's just see to show you where the money went, how about they'd be up. So ok? 53 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Yeah, but we'll go over in detail. I just wanted to kind of give you a heads up of what the estimates look like. So, next to policy review. One we have on there is policy 7131, which we kind of talked about last time. 54 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) You know with the tuition increase, there was just

023two simple changes we wanted to make on that policy. One was you want to add students must not be failing multiple subjects. That was never in there. It was in there. 55 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) When the when the students got accepted, but it wasn't in there when the students were here. And then one little piece that the committee, the policy committee came up with was, just to put in on 2nd page 3rd bullet down. 56 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Where it says the student shall be subject to changing or 3rd line to and fractions that would result in suspension. Just to not say it must be all these, it can be and this as well. 57 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) So it's a year to year renewal, a hundred percent. Yep. Yep. So just

024two simple changes, nothing too crazy. The process we usually work with that is we work with guidance, we work with, you know, the main office, and then we give a warning letter usually. 58 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Unless something outrageous happens, you know, a student comes in and punches a teacher in the face, then obviously they're out, right? But if, you know, if things are mounting, we give a warning letter, we talk to them, we mentor them, we guide them, you know, guidance, and then after that, if it doesn't work out, We move forward with telling they have to go back to the home district. 59 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) So, so that's one piece on 7131. The Code of conduct. Any questions there? That's pretty simple, right? Those two. The code of conduct, there

025was some material in there that we were looking at with students disciplinary action removing students from classes, and there was just a. 60 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Lot of information in there, actually too much. And what we wanted to make sure that we had in there was enough discretion for the teacher and the administration to adjust as needed, right? Because things happen different ways. What I mean by that is sometimes the kids having a bad day, ok? And the teacher releases him for the rest of the period, pauses down the main office and says, hey, we just, you know, it's having a bad situation. 61 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) I think I'm gonna write them up, but let's call it for a day type of thing and we'll take it from there. Down some of

026this policy said the teacher must do this. So we put just changed some words and put May because there's different situations and that's gonna be a relationship between the principal administration and the teacher about those situations. And we want to give the teacher. 62 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Because it's their class to make sure that they have to dismiss a student for a specific reason that they can without all the pieces in between. And then the administration teachers will work it out from there. But it's gonna be a, it's going to be a program conclusion that the teacher has to reach out to the parent if they remove a teach a student from a class as well. So we remove some of the language. 63 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) In there and there's one other

027piece that we removed in our policy committee and it was number three on the top where it says teacher disciplinary moval. It said setting a student to the principal's office for the remainder of the class time only. It said the student. 64 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Maybe allowed to return the class if the, you know, by the administration, we left that out because we want to have the conversation between the teacher and the administration and you know, it might just be a bad situation or a bad moment, but let let's give the teacher the the autonomy at that point to explain if that was the case and we'll take it from there. Plus we know hey you're in the middle of class, so we don't need that distraction again. 65 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) So

028I think this is better for both sides and it and it streamlines it but they're still follow up with it. So any questions about it? Again, we just had the committee meeting and and the committee members had some comments, that's why we changed changed a few other. 66 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Okay, and then there's a new policy, so we can vote on those two tonight because one isn't a policy, one is just the code of conduct and the other policy we went over, you know, with the tuition. And there's a new policy New York State and their infinite wisdom has added another. 67 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Policy so and the policy is parent and family engagement, and we put this together. Administration looked it over, so this is kind of just take a

029look at it. The policy committee was fine with it. You guys take a look at it and. 68 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) If there's any comments, we'll approve it next month. And scroll down. It's in the same one, right? Yeah. It's in the same attachment. 69 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Right there, the one you're on. Yeah, it's all in here. Okay. Oh, it's not on the bottom. What's that? 70 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) 7131 that's the only one that's there. Code of conduct is down for approvals. I don't see the. Oh yeah. So we'll add it. 71 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) We'll send it to you, but it's on the it's in the policy committee too. In in your meetings you got the meetings and policy instead too. Okay, underneath the policy. Well, you can

030send it separately. We'll do. 72 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) That's it for the policy stuff yeah so you ok so move on to accruals I'd like to ask for a motor percentage. 73 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) What? You can't hold on the minutes from last month because you weren't here. You have to deal separately and ok so I would like to ask for a consent agenda for. 74 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) D screw DG? G G I have motion. Motion second all in favor. Lori you in favor? Lori? Yes? She. 75 "Lauri" (564071424) Showing. 76 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) It's good. Okay, so any question on the meeting for the organization meeting? Second all in favor. Okay, thank you. Okay, and then for the regular eating motion. Second. 77 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) All the

031favor? Lori? Okay, I have same. Okay, so we can move on to bills. Unfortunately I do have a few questions as soon as I blow my nose. 78 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Okay, starting with 60 8878. Yeah, that's the new company that we're using for our HRA instead of the VRI company. We're using that company now. That's the new non stop cards. 79 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) I'm just I was surprised at the size of the, you know, the two payments are 57000 and is that typical or is that? Yeah, that's what they quoted us. Really, and that's, that's not not so instead of seeing like the monthly HRA. 80 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Like debits out of our account, we're just paying now. And how, what period does that cover that 57? How is

032that's a month. Wow. Wow. But the on the Excel is if you go up to the excelus payment that's a couple above that on that same page. 81 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Yeah. That's less than it's 5 % less than last year. So excellent is less and the non stop is new to make up for that difference. And it's still supposed to be less overall for the whole year. Okay, it's just kind of remember we went down 5 % of what they shared. 82 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) That's yeah, that's that's part of it. Correct. Alright, my next one is 60 8896 Hollyard, new York. What is that? Hillyard, sorry. We've had that. That's one of the maintenance companies that we use. 83 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Maintenance for facilities. What? Facilities. Okay. Moving right

033along the Medicare awards assume six oh eight is for three months. 84 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) And but it says on the top the headline it says 07:17 to 07:17. Yeah, that's just the date of the payments. That's just like the check date. It's not the period. On the checks that they're printed. To be clear if you could say it was from. 85 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) You know 51717 because it just looks like it's been once. Yeah, and when the checks are actually printed, they stay April one to 30 June. Just going forward in the headline, I think it should say that there, yeah. 86 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Then we have check 01:58 for jobs to control, what is that going for now? That's a capital project. So that's just a continuity. That's

034part of the geothermal project. Okay. 87 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) And then, number 1601 to SCI, I thought that we had switched to King and King and so why SCI is still doing thermal, so they're gonna be still paid out of that projects for the big projects ago. 88 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Okay, so they were part of it. I just, yeah, I was just wondering both. Okay, that's it. Thank you. Thank you for your issues. And as you know, the three years behind. Yeah, so, ok, moving on to budget transfer schedule, any questions there? 89 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Lori, you good? Okay, anything there? Lori? 90 "Lauri" (564071424) I'm good. Okay. I'm good. 91 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Agreement CABB one. That's same ok and the same with two? Yeah community action agency,

035J same thing changes there. Okay. 92 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Co teaching consultant, educational consultant and educational consultant. My myself, I was very glad to see them that they're still continuing to be able to contribute to to our educational policy is that, you know, that's for Caroline Hammon Colleen Sollman. 93 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) And Michelle there, so that's wonderful. I think that they're still able to participate even though they're retire retired. Yep. Any questions on any of those? Okay, moving to Ford Plane central School District that's for some of them we're we're in that case here. Any questions there? No. 94 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) So that's normal year to year one. That's, I was really surprised it's 03:50 per month. What do they do for 03:50? All of our Medicaid billing? What? All

036of our Medicaid billing. Oh, so they just process that? Okay, thank you. Then we have P is. 95 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Carbon reduction, that's for $440000 and I was just wondering what does that entail? What is that for? It's actually the roofing part. Yeah, what are we gonna do just replace the whole yeah. 96 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) The whole section of the office. Okay, and what way will that help to mitigate what it does is it replace the roof so we put the solar on top that reinforces it and also allows us to. 97 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) With the new units on it as well. So without the roof, we couldn't do that, correct? And what's good is we were able to fit that in this project so now we don't have

037to replace the roof with our product. Any other questions on that? What's tightening roofing? What are they doing? What's roofing for 591000? They're part of it, so there's there's a couple of contractors that are built into it in terms of one. Correct. There's actually two or three of them involved. One actually paying out. 98 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Another one. Okay, any other questions on that? I had a question there regarding COVID. It said that COVID there's NO quarantine after exposure yep. 99 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) At one part, but then later it says they should stay home if they come in contact with someone with COVID. And so when it says that it doesn't give any indication of how long they should stay home and I think that this kind of inconsistent those two

038people probably dismissed it and probably take it out because there is NO stay home anymore. 100 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Okay, but just take everybody back because it's really hard to figure that out though you can be positive but not spread it after a few after a week or so. Yeah. You can be positive for two weeks, you know, after that. Right now it's all of your six day home turnout come to work. But I just looked at that and seemed to be inconsistent. 101 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Does that any said? It was it was at the beginning it said there's NO quarantine requirement, but then further down near the bottom bottom of it, it said you know later says stay home if we'll call that out. Okay yep. 102 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608)

039Yeah, there's NO guidelines anymore for it any if you're in contact with the 14 anymore. Okay so moving right along to this the school lunch program renewal, anything there? No. 103 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Laura just shout up if you have anything, ok? You will. Breakfast lunch adult. Breakfast adults adult lunch prices food service bids. 104 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Tax level? Is that below the our tax cap? Yeah, always is, yeah. Well, I'm just because you talk about a 2 % tax cap and it's one five. Well, it's called 2 % tax cap, but it's never a 2 %. 105 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Okay. Okay and fund balance, anything there? And then we have the unemployment reserve fund. I just have a question. What. 106 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) But how does that

040work? What is that for? Our unemployment costs which are very small now, so it's basically just something that's sitting there. And the employee retirement reserve fund, what is that for? That's the ERS reserve, that's one that has like 3.6 million in there right now, so we're only gonna fund it a hundred and 50. So that's. 107 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) To help pay your retirement benefits. Is that right? Yeah. You can, you can counter your budget with the exact amount that's in that. So if you have if you owe $450000 in ERS, you can use that reserve to pay the 450000. Okay. Any questions on either of those? Nope. 108 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Okay moving right along to the capital reserve fund. Okay, equivalent reserve fund? Nope. And interest allocation. 109 "Canajoharie CS BoE"

So what we'll do is we will both say yes with the change. Okay. And then what we'll do is we'll update it on the on this with the change. Okay, that makes sense?

Yeah, yeah. 125 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) And it's actually not that bad because I remember 4th plane takes baseball and softball, so really kind of approaches there have a track and feel covered for

045the most part. Okay, and then point summer substitutes dislate editions that we had. 126 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) And the position of 4 h custodian. Remember we had the 4 h bus driver, 4 h custodian, and then when when they retired, we kept the 4 h custodian and then another bus driver. 127 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Retired, we posted for the bus driver in a stodian, we didn't get it. So what we did was take the, the 4 h with the other 4 h pestodian, make one 8 h pestodian and two 4 h bus drivers. So lovely we have the bus drivers, but nobody wants to be a custodian and bus driver. 128 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) It'll take 4 h off and then 4 h in, can't find them. So, so this will go

046with twelve to eight shift so they can still have the 4 h here like originally and 4 h down there. So they won't be missing anything to sodial wise and we have the bus drivers. 129 "Canajoharie CS BoE" (69540608) Okay, so I would take a motion to approve each person all the favor? Lori? Yes? Yep.
