001Hi everyone, we're going to call to order the meeting of the school board on July 21st, 2025. All members present and accounted for. Start with the Pledge of Allegiance, please. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. And to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. And next we'll have the mission statement. Uh Mr. Ryan, would you please present it? Mr. Daniel Kovac. The mission of Foley Public Schools is to bring together students, parents, staff, and community to provide a quality education with an emphasis on developing the full potential of the individual. Very good for your first time. Thank you. I'll work on it. All right. Next we'll have an approval of the agenda, please. I'll take a motion to approve
002from anyone out there. Motion by Nathan Anderson. Seconded by Pamela Bizner. All in favor? Aye. Opposed? Motion carries. Excellent. Um we'll now have Oh, I missed that. Dyslexia. Yeah. I missed them. I I I see them at night. Uh now we will have the open forum for citizens to address the school. Guys, we're going to move on. We've already approved the agenda cuz I'm bad at orders and have them wrong. Uh we'll go into the approval of routine business items, which includes the consent agenda portfolio and meeting minutes. Just in case anyone's curious, but I think it's going to call out one of the contracts that we do with this type of stuff is our MREA membership. It's a yearly membership our district is part of. And it stands for Minnesota Rural Education Association. So
003it's a very big part of what we we we do here. Um a lot of our learning, a lot of our collaboration things, and knowing people who have districts have similar challenges or successes that we would have we can build off of. So we've been a member of this for Oh golly, I can't even think of how many years. But uh that is the reason why I called that out as something to be realized. Otherwise, I'll take a motion to approve, please. I make a motion to approve. Motion by Nathan. Second. Seconded by Stephanie. All in favor? Aye. Opposed? Very well done. Thank you. Uh next we'll have our resolution for accepting gifts. And uh this month we have the Lions Club of Foley uh donated $500 to the uh intermediate school uh DC trip.
004So I want to say thank you to the Lions Club. Again, our community is always very generous and appreciated um on behalf Not not that really the board of directors, but really the children who are here today. So um any motions to approve that? Resolution to approve. Yep. Motion to approve. All right. We had a motion by Sharon, seconded by Lisa. All in favor? Aye. Opposed? Now we're getting into meeting stuff. All right. We have next our LTFM 10-year plan. This is a discussion action item. LTFM is something we look at every year around this time. It's a 10-year plan for long-term facilities maintenance. So if you see a lot of big projects on the facility, these are all things that are in our plan over the next 10 years, and kind of like when
005do we need to get to them by, how critical they are, things of that nature. Um Mr. Kovac, do you want to take this or I think Mr. Uh so this first set of slides Oh, this is this one page. So this is a very condensed summary of the whole 10-year plan, and it just pulls out the projected revenues for regular maintenance for LTFM. So for those newer or community that's not in this world all the time, um Minnesota Statute 2024 Section 123B established the long-term facilities maintenance revenue program, and it replaced three other programs: deferred maintenance, alternative facilities, and health and safety. So this new LTFM program offers a comprehensive program to fund a facilities 10-year plan that we get to develop as a school district. And so the uses of the revenue and
006allowed expenditures remain the same as they did under those other three programs that this new one replaced. Um so every year, uh like Heather mentioned, we have to submit a 10-year plan to MDE, and that is due July 31st. So we do have to um end of this meeting with an approved 10-year plan so we can get it to the state on time. And so our regular funding from the state, this is the projected revenues that you see up on the board. And they just kind of trail off towards the the later years because it's hard to project those right now. On the next slide would be what the finance committee here had decided are the capital LTFM eligible projects to fund for FY26. So the finance committee of you that should be in agreement
007with what you're used to. Like we'll go over that on our spreadsheet. Yes. As I understand it, the finance committee talked about this in the fall and really looked at it and talked about the plan for the following school year. Yes, that's what my understanding is, and I just presented on the last meeting. So like Foley drives from Yeah, yeah, I have a question because I don't have that that page or the page before that to discuss. So this was just added for the presentation, but you have the next slide, which is the actual plan. Okay. So you can move it ahead. That should have been at the end, but that's okay. That's really hard to read, but you should have a paper copy. And one is going to be the revenue projection spreadsheet, and
008the other one is the expenditure projections. So money coming in, money going out. And the district's revenue for LTFM projects will come from a combination of local taxes and levy and state aid. In some years bond funding is included for eligible projects. So you can see our annual revenue starts around 1.4 million in 2025 and is rising over to 2.1 million by 2035, and that includes that bond for um that we purchased for the school capital construction project that we're doing by 82. The revenue for basic building upkeep basic building upkeep funds based on the building agent student count. And then we have extra funding for bonds, which are the bonds for larger projects like roofing or system overhauls, ventilation. Um over the next 10 years, district expects just over 19 million in total LTFM
009LTFM revenue from all sources, and most of the increases starts in 2029 beyond requested increase debt limits for major upgrades. What are we spending the money on? Uh health and safety projects is around 105,000 a year. This is our fire safety, hazardous materials, and environmental health like lead or mold remediation. And spending is being steady in this category over year over year. Major repairs and maintenance is about 425,000 a year. This is things like your building hardware, doors, locks, fixtures, mechanical and plumbing systems, electrical work, interior surfaces, site improvements like parking lots, sidewalks, and professional services for doing the work. Roofing upgrades may require additional funding depending on legislative approval in the future years. And then we have our capital bond projects. This comes out of our fund six. And um notable of is our
010current construction projects, 2.49 million in 2025, and then the remainder 12.4 million in 2026 covering the large HVAC fire safety projects. So I want to I may jump in there. I know there's a lot of big numbers, and saying this partly for our anyone watching there like we're talking about millions of dollars. Why are we spending this on things like parking lots and stuff when we're cutting? And that's because legally by statute this money cannot be used for funding those other things. This money has to be used for these types of projects. So I always kind of like you know, you always hear people like, "I heard they're doing this." And they But legally these are the we cannot use these this money for anything else. Correct. Yeah, like reading can be See, Minnesota Statute
011Section 123B will explain what we can spend this money on. And so you're right. Um These So to summarize what this means for the school board and community, we are maintaining a safe and functional modern school facilities. We're balancing yearly needs like HVAC tune-ups with big investments like roof replacements. We're using a mix of short-term maintenance funding and long-term capital investment. Funding is secured through a mix of state and local sources, and we're not overspending. We're managing fund balances and debt obligations conservatively, and we're keeping students and staff safe through proactive planning. And they don't fear financial viability half maintaining its infrastructure here. Foley Public Schools remains strong So like we had this summer, we had the track project. That would have come out of this plan, and I know it's on the plan for
012a few years before this was the year it was uh got its turn. So all of those things that you see around the school these things largely happen during the summer, because that's when there's space for it. But, that's what this is, and that's money we have to use for those sorts of things. Are there any other questions? So, there is a list of those projects that we've been working on or that we have set up? Yes, for the regular LTAP projects that the finance committee decided on, there's there's a spreadsheet I can share with you. The finance committee members should have a copy of that. Finance for building and grounds? For building and grounds. Okay, sorry. That's what I was referring to earlier in this year. I just don't know what Yeah, I I
013I never heard of what projects that they have coming, so that would be helpful. >> you like to know if we can share that with you? Would that be helpful? Um I don't have that list. No, that's fine. I could be mistaken. >> Yeah. Have that list for We'll share that with There's some of the things that you've heard about happening already. Um those are things the board decided on last year. Right. And they may have been on that plan as like things that are going to be coming up in the future, like um for instance, the track was on there for a number of years before we did it. IAQ was actually I think listed from probably before I was on the board. And I know that's like the big project everyone knows, so
014we use that as an example. I know that I know that was at least on there since I joined the board 5 years ago. I was like, "This is something we're going to have to take care of in the future." So, some I mean, when we say plan, it's big. That That 10-year plan proposal that has funding for that. That sounds familiar. Is that the 10-year plan proposal that I remember looking at last year? That. Who is this? Who is that? No. But, the one I just gave to you today that it just has the title page on it. That's the title. Yes, that first page there and the third page has the list of approved total from the budget the finance decided on. So, we can share that with Check the link for that
015later. All right. How did that get lost? Any other questions from members of our board about the about this today? For reference, who is on our buildings and grounds committee currently? All right, this hasn't been sitting together right now. So, all these things do kind of as with all of our work, comes from administration who's gotten it from various teams in the schools. The teams in the school eventually get up to the administration as appropriate, brings it to the committee, work it out, and it'll make its way then to us. So, the whole chain there. Well, there's no other discussion, and I will have a motion to approve this, please. I'll make a motion to approve. Motion by Wayne Wilson. I'll second. Seconded by Nathan Anderson. All in favor? Aye. Opposed? Motion passes. Thank you.
016All right. Next one is the Iowa proxy resolution, having nothing in fact to do with the state. Just to warn everyone. So, um the individual with authority to basically it's for assigning people to be able to fill in reports, get access to the state records and so forth. It needs to be updated each year. Um I am the at your last board meeting, you voted for me to be the IA um board paying agent. And all of the paperwork goes along with that. Um usually when that happens, you also have a proxy who if I'm out of town, um not available or something, then someone else can step in and do it, and you don't have to wait for me to get back. Um or you can call me and say, "Yes, the proxy can
017do that." In my past district, it's always been my administrative assistant. And so, I recommend that we move forward and have Kelly be our proxy, so the second person can have access to this and assign people. I'm still going to be the one that is in charge of it and doing it, but it would be the case if I'm not available When we talked about this, you mentioned like sometimes there's just like a lot of like granting permissions here and there, and there's kind of a lot of I don't want to say busy work, but you know, that that billing allocation that needs to happen, and and that takes up a significant amount of time. That's what this really is for is to Yeah, they just are real particular about who the state allows anyone
018to be able to do it. That's why it takes for me to be assigned, even though I was your super for your superintendent. It has to be a resolution. It has to be signed by the school district the board member from the school district, and then it has to be sent in to the Department of Education. They want a copy of that resolution with your name with the board member's signature on there, and then they'll approve it. I've been doing that since the last couple weeks of talking to people because it was already done. But, I just think it's a good idea to have a backup. Make a motion to approve. Motion by Wayne. I'll second. Seconded by Pamela. All in favor? Aye. Opposed? Great job, everyone. Now, we'll move on to another media topic.
019Staff handbook for Foley Public Schools for this coming school year. I'm going to speak to this as well. Uh in the past, you did not have a um all staff handbook or handbooks for each school or students. And you had different opportunities for different staff members and different uh job groups or or unions that have different uh different books for that. However, this is common language for all and it's common information. It's just a good opportunity for everyone in the district to have this as a starting guide or for those of you for those staff members that have gone on, but still might have some questions. Um it includes things like what happens when I'm sick, how do I report my absence? Um it includes uh you know, what are who do I go to
020for my for my benefits questions? Um just everything in that. An employee should have access to it. We all just put it down. Um I had started this before I got here, and we finished it up. And my goal is to get to the committee to make edits. We We did it with the with the principals, we did it with the secretaries. Um we see this as a living document, so to speak. Uh if we see something that needs to be changed or updated, we would Also, um the beginning of the book will be some more information with school board members, administration, and some information in there that needs to be clarified yet. We need to have that ready for the board meeting when we have it. Basically, information for employees to know who is
021our school board, who are who is the superintendent, who are the principals, who do I go to for this information for that. They have that. So, they have it. And where will this live? Will I get a hard copy or a physical copy? Will it be on the internet? It would be It would be not on the main not on the school website, but there's an intranet intranet that Is that an intranet? Yeah, internal for the department. Okay. What Yeah, you already sign off thing or just one time? Okay. Kind of like what employees have. Any other questions about this? This does not supersede any contracts or anything. We're just trying to get information out. Well, if there's no other questions, make a motion, please, to approve. I'll make a motion to approve the staff
022handbook. Motion Pamela. I'll second. Oops, I'm going to give it to Alyssa. Had it, right? Sure did, yeah. I'll make a motion. All right, all in favor? Aye. Opposed? Excellent. Moving on, we now have policies requiring review, and this is uh our first reading. Um the policies are 707, accounting. Uh 710, extracurricular transportation. 720, vending machines. Number 901, community education. Number 905, hazardous chemicals. And 906, community community notification of predatory offenders. Um I led our meeting the other day about the policies, and most of the changes, if not 100% of the changes you're going to see in these, are all these are all based on state statutes. So, if we're basically our policy is a state statute, and when the language in those statutes gets updated, we update our policy. So, for instance, vending machines,
023you know, like there's language in there about like access to vending machines and what's in them during the school day and just kind of they find to like a demand or a comma, things like that. And that's 99% when you hear about policies coming through, that's 99% of what the updates are. Anything to add? No, I would say, you know, these there's no substantive changes, it's just references to the statutes, basically. That I see. Yeah, unless you're an attorney with uh with a lot of time on your hands, I think the changes probably are not interesting to you. But anyway, any other discussion on our on this first reading? We do have three readings always on policies. Uh that's our current method of approving them. We'll have a reading now, we'll have a reading next
024time of these, and then the third reading we will have a motion for approval, making them the official versions of these policies. All right, well then uh we'll move on. Budget and enrollment. Ms. Bartz, you want to come up here again? Good evening. We'll start with enrollment since it's kind of easy. Because it's June and there was zero enrollment in June, the name of the actual enrollment of the district total was 1857. Uh so, we will have some projections once we get some confirmed registrations from the third like summer school. That's um that's it for the enrollment piece. For budget, you have the two different spreadsheets. It's the same information, two different formats. One's one's showing you dollars, one's showing you percentages. Um to summarize, we are as of the end of June 30th, 2025,
025budget performance is at 98% of total operating budget is expended. Our revenues are at 90.2% collected year-to-date with full flush expected pending final audit entries. Our audit is scheduled Field work is scheduled for September, so we could have adjustments up through then for um FY25 business. Positive variance expenditures came in under budget by about $475,000. There may be some other FY25 expenses not paid yet um coming in July. Um the construction invoices are going to be significant for any work that was completed uh prior to July 1st. Um but we should be pretty close to having most of them booked by the fall. Uh revenue highlights, state aid, um we might end slightly under budget. Federal aid, we have some draws pending. We're coordinating with the concerns at Co-op on that. Uh property tax, you're
026not seeing anything on that uh category line item because we haven't dumped it in a um holding it in a balance sheet code and we're going to allocate those during the audit. And so, um by the next board meeting we should have the property tax recognition for you. That is typically done during the audit time uh to save on multiple journal entries, really. Uh local revenues exceeded the budget including interest and we had higher than projected interest earnings um about partial allocation pending in the audit. Expenditure highlights, salary and wages are at 99.7. It's closely aligned with projections. Benefits are at 98.5, well managed. Purchased services are at 91%. We have some year-end invoices pending, like I said. Uh supplies, we're at 92%. We have a buffer there for some late invoices. We'll probably come
027in closer to 100% Equipment, we're at 105%, so we're a little bit over on that. Um other expenditures are under budget at 66%. If you want to look at program spending, regular instruction's at 99%, so right on target. Special ed's 97%. Extracurricular is 106%. Um higher participation may have driven um the cost a little over budget there. Support services and admin um are just slightly over in some categories. They're falling between 101 and 120%. And facilities are right on target at 101.2%. We're in a good position heading into FY26. Most areas seem to be on budget. There's a few that went over that are explainable and manageable. Revenues are looking good. We might come in slightly under budget for state aid and like I said, we're working with the concerns at Co-op for some federal
028sub-award reimbursements. And the property tax revenues will be recognized in the audit, so you'll see those numbers at that time. Next slide. Any other questions on budget? Thank you very much. That was kind of your first meeting with all this stuff, so That's why I have notes. I have notes. All right. Well, I guess it's time for administrator information and reports, uh which we all have there in our packet, but uh does anyone have anything to add or we can go around here? Uh not much to add. Just want to welcome our new superintendent to the board and look forward to working with Um kudos to that and then also just a few thank yous to all of our coaches and instructors and volunteers who have been telling their kids schedules are changing on a
029daily basis, helping us run our programs. Thank you to all of our parents who have been telling their kids schedules are changing on a daily basis. Is that 10 minutes? Did everybody see the crane video? Yeah, that was awesome. >> sent out. So, that's going to be like quadruple next year, just so you guys know. The one thing I used to do with the board from the school I came from was kind of like you guys are all wondering what we do, right? So, this is show and tell, right? We're all 5 years old. So, the track uses 4100 linear feet of plastic. Here's why. When you spray it, it has a little over-spray. So, that's why all that plastic. I don't know if anybody ever seen the track, but it was covered in the
030plastic all the time it was covered in the plastic. So, here is the old track, if you want to know what that looks like. And you can see it's basically four layers of this stuff. That is done as of now. Now it's drying and then the lane lines will be done and the numbers and stuff. That's the next steps. We used 27 rolls of this. Like I said, 4100 linear feet of this, 90,000 lbs of latex, two semi loads. Um 12 coats, just like you see on a car, of the liquid mixed with the latex sprayed in. And that's those coats all sitting out there. And last, but not least, because it's summertime, one of the things you guys know with the new HVAC project is the intermediate and part of elementary, each room has
031what's called a VAV, variable air volume control. So, you can it's like zoning your house, right? You don't have one room set and all the other rooms are set. So, intermediate has had that since 2000. And the high school doesn't have any. So, here's an old VAV. This one is from Let me look here. '96, 1996. So, this one broke. It's a little actuator that turns and lets through this little air there. Um more air on more heat, um more air on more cold, depending on what you want to run through it. This broke. This unit, so those of you who know anything about cars, the thing now is uh crazy. You want to go get a 1968 date code off there and it cost like 400 bucks. You want to get a date coder
032to be rebuilt, oh, I went on eBay, looked up a rebuild, $1175 for one. So, if you kind of wonder how many 60 rooms cost, now, they upgraded and I can't find it. Oh, here it is. Now I have this kind of VAV. This one's from 2015. Luckily, these only cost 250 bucks. So, they've gotten better at pricing them out over the years. Um these are going to probably look it's pretty good in an office. So, this is going to be a pretty good improvement over the older ones. Um all right. This is a wiring that's going to be different. So, you can see it's a little red. If this is flashing, you're good. If this is constant, that's what's going on. This is little buggers have been giving me a hard time in the
033pool in the very back corner cuz there's no air going right on the project. This gets so hot it goes off. But that's known to the fire department really well. So, they know my name and they know my house. Well, so and the last thing was, remember those of you building ground committee, we had a little conversation about RTU 6 and 3 at our elementary. And we're going to fix that through through the old FM to fix uh air conditioning part of RTU 3 for elementary in the second story. This is a problem right here. This thing weighs oh, I don't know, it feels like it weighs 100 lb. I think it's a little less. There's three of these up there, they're all bad. These are compressors and then the condensers are bad, too. So,
034those are going to get replaced. Remember we were talking about can they be rebuilt by EMS? We had all that conversation. These cannot be rebuilt by EMS. They are not and I had actually had Aaron, our technician, sit down and talk with Dan so that he would kind of know the whole situation cuz the best guys in the business are the techs. You know, they know what's going on. He knows our unit backwards and forwards. So, these parts are not cheap. And that unit is again, it's like I talked about the old units to this, a lot of this is not being made anymore. That unit is itself. Any questions at all about that? Yeah, I have one. Yeah. The blue thingy that you replaced at 200 and some dollars Yep. and then the one
035that was from 19 something or other, Yep. the gray one, Yep. can you replace Yeah, that's what we'll do. Yeah, that one We will replace it with this updated one. I'm just it's just a amazing what Like I said, I don't know why anybody would want to be messing with it and buy one of these, but you can go on eBay and find rebuilds, but I maybe a smaller building, we're not going to take our chances with rebuilds. And yes, we do. And that's why we pay this Johnson Tech what we do. We air in our attic, knows this building backwards and forwards. He's very good at certain little stuff all for us. He does a lot of stuff for us that that he wouldn't have to do. He has no He's just a tech
036that works in the heating and stuff. So, So, I mean I I want to say that I appreciate your stewardship of resources. You know, you're making sure that is it a rebuild or is it buy something else? Is it a replacement? You're always finding us the most cost-effective solution that will work, not just like for a month or two and then we got to pay it again. So, I appreciate that about you and you're very good at explaining this. Yeah, so in the coming months, I bring stuff. This is Like I said, summer's school season is actually easy for me. Summer is worse. So, So, if there's any Like I said, if you have any questions about anything we're doing, let me know. Um you know, we're just messing with the ceilings right now. Ceiling
037tiles are getting put back in. So, lighting will start getting done. I mean you know, nervous anxiety or anything. Take the keys and back to cleaning people over there. We're done in elementary. Everything's been done for the building. We're done in the elementary now. Hopefully in the next week. Um we did move around the ALC to get it all done. Credit on ceiling tile. We're back in all kids are great up there now. Awesome. We had to shovel We had to hand shovel all the long jump, pole vault because the grass had grown over the edges and then hand shoveled all that out. So, they don't understand that someone's working on the heating. I'm getting old. I can't see anything and they're like I'm I'm a little intimidated, but anyway, thank you for coming. I
038know what this table's I'll get it. All right. Uh we'll have a line there to our new principal's table. I don't know if I would follow that. We have to end with Mr. Jacobs after this. So, just other than next week, so easy Mr. Foss. Um I just wanted to let the building know it's in great shape for the new year. Summer school is in my report. Summer school is done. We'll go over to the new administrators. And we'll go around. Uh Mr. Peter Whitmer, who is our brand new intermediate SCHOOL PRINCIPAL, EVERYONE. ANYTHING FOR us tonight? No, I would like to just introduce myself and say I'm very happy to be here with you, but I came to the office a little before the meeting to introduce myself and just connect with all of

So, I'm so sorry.

043I just wanted Stephanie. Ann. I think I've already welcomed both of you a few times. Um I always want to extend our our warm welcomes to the administrators and the and reiterate to our other administrative team how much you are valued um by not just the board, but the community, the students, staff, even though I know there's going to be times where they don't always feel like it and there's probably going to be times where it feels like it's too much, maybe. Um but it is I know a very mutual feeling that respect and appreciation that you get to experience in our community. Um I do also want to uh thank our community members as always for coming here tonight. Mr. Larson, thank you for your report. I was going to use my time actually
044to embarrass Dan as well cuz I knew he's going to be at that. Uh he's like I was like well then I'm going to I'm going to get you out of the meeting then. So he said saved me from doing that. But then this is a very big deal so congratulations once again. This weekend is Gilman Days. I know it seems like a town that's small can't have more than one day but they do. There will be softball tournaments Friday night. I know at least one team that will be playing for sure Friday Friday night at 7:00 or 8:00. That's like who that very handsome coach is. But very excited. Always a big deal they have a lot of good food stuff Gilman Days. The parade is Saturday which is your last chance during the
045summer time to see our wonderful marching band perform at a parade. They of course always do the homecoming game as well but come and see their show on the street one last time this Saturday in Gilman. They had a wonderful season. They small band but big sound. They actually outperformed the band their size that I didn't realize there were no trombones in the marching band this year until I was at my third or fourth grade chaperoning and I heard someone comment on the street hey they don't even have trombones. That's when I realized that oh I mean the sound is just that well balanced and taken care of so they had a wonderful trip out to Colorado. Thank you as always to our wonderful band instructors Janelle Hash and Chris Darling as well as there's
046a number of drum line and color guard instructors that I I would start to name them but I know I'm going to leave someone out so I'm just going to say the teams and we'll go from there. Anything else this evening? Otherwise I think I have three other little other things. Yeah, go for it. >> know do you know Les Martisko? Les Martisko? Okay, he just had a mic and Cato's next to Don there. And I just want to give a shout out to him. He's 82 years old. He's retired from the rural net part. Les? Okay, he's 82 years old. He runs marathons. And he's run a couple of them this year at 81 going on 82. And I committed to him at our final our final meeting. And then somebody pointed out you
