Um, we last week we had some fun together and um um got some things going with our with our theme and so I just want to say thank you guys for coming tonight. I know you're busy and I know that you've got to run. So, thanks for being here tonight. >> Okay. And I want to say welcome. >> Yes. We're excited to have you as we start this year and I look forward to working with you guys sometime. >> Thank you. >> They've already been doing some good things too. So, yeah. >> So, thank you guys very much. >> Okay. So if
005you got a run pretty simple >> I promise I promise. >> Yeah. >> Thank you. >> All right. >> And Brian's going to do this. >> Sorry about that. >> Some more congratulations here. >> Yeah. It sounds like um trustees, we have a group of young men who had a really good summer. Um, I know that they were the AU uh state champions and with that they were allowed to go to a national tournament that they're currently at. So, we're going to try to make sure that these young men come and visit with us in September and tell us about how their summer went. Um, but when you're involved in Kuna youth sports, we usually take care of Melba as well and we and there so there's some of these kids that aren't ours, but
006the ones that are are definitely highlighted for you and and again, we're going to invite these kids here in September. We do a really good job of appreciating and celebrating our high school kids when they do really cool things, but this is a this will be a fun group to celebrate. with that. Um, we definitely want whoever's listening and our principles to know that if there's stuff going on that we miss or we don't know about that your kids have done something amazing, let us know because we want to celebrate them. Um, another one of our our younger athletes who will be Will he be at the high school next year? >> No, he's in yet going into eighth grade. >> You don't want to make them older than they have to be. >> Uh,
007had a really good summer as well. Um, and we could we could lean on maybe one of his coaches to talk to about him a little bit too, but but to be um recognized at the national level, it's it's a big it's a big big deal. So, it looks like third and that's probably the coach's fault, honestly. This kid probably would have been a national champ. >> Wow. >> Work on that. >> But what a cool deal. So >> he's got really good neighbors, too. [Music] >> So >> that's pretty cool. >> Yeah. >> So that was we just want to celebrate some of our our younger athletes and and so the expectations on the high school are pretty high >> when these guys get up there. >> There's some good athletes. >> Yeah. Nine
008athletes, it says. That's awesome. >> All right. >> Okay. >> Uh reports and the theme for this year. >> So, um last week we had our um we met with our administrators and we started off um I talked a little bit about um last year because we had um did make a cut in the 2.3. It seems like years ago, right? like many years ago, but that's how we started a year ago. And we were like, we got to just find our way through this and we got to survive. And then we passed an emergency levy and then we passed a levy and things started to look much better for us. And and Brad, of course, was um helping us as as we were finding different um different funds that um added to our general
009fund balance and things were looking good. Um, so we said we're going to our our theme this year is going to be one step at a time because the board has asked us me to um raise our math and reading by 2% across the board. All right, that that doesn't seem like a lot, but it's but it's a lot when you look at that all the way across. Also, our legislature has put some demands on us, laws. We've got the cell phones. We've got a bunch of different things. We cannot accomplish it all at once. So, we have talked to our administrators about let's just take one step at a time. We can't do it all in September. We can't do it all at the end of the year. We can't put it all on
010our teachers. There's new curriculum. There's all these things that we've got to figure out. But we can do it together if we just move forward together and take one step at a time. Sometimes we're gonna have to pause for a moment, but we're going to keep moving forward. And everybody's liked our theme so far because we're trying to move together and take a step together um and and do the work that we know that you've asked us to do, asked me to do and accomplish. And um it's been kind of fun to see the reactions of that. And part of that is also like we were sharing these celebrations. Um we want to keep celebrating the good too and show people who is and let's celebrate those good things of our little kids and our
011big kids. And u we're going to be sharing stories also from teachers and administrators about differences that they make with kids. So we've got some good goals, but we know our main goal for the board is is raising our reading and math, which is very important. those that's a very important goal. So, we take it seriously, but our theme then is just let's take a step at a time. >> Yeah, that's great. I think it's really important that we tell our story. I think the community needs to know what we're doing here. I think that's really important. Also think it's important because we had talked about we we're looking at >> all of those things that um cause behavior issues in the classroom and as a board we really want to support that and support
012our teachers. So, that's one step at a time, too. And I just want to add that. I think it's a great a great theme and I don't know who thought of it but awesome. Anybody else want to say >> all of us? >> Yeah. >> Way to go. >> And our in our next uh Tuesday we have a speaker that's going to be um talking to um all of our staff and um he's going to go off of that theme too. But he was a sixth grade. I shared I think a video with you and and when we shared that with the administrators and we shared it with the new teachers today too and I think it's going to it's going to be fun and he's going to help us set the an encouraging start.
013>> Yeah. >> Um and you know speaking of that Kim when you this behavior support because of us being able to um uh do some extra things to help with behavior support. we've been able to hire some VPs and extra supports in our buildings to help us. So, that's been a really positive thing, too. >> And that's one step at a time. So, we'll see how that goes. I think it's great >> people. So, >> very good. So, >> all right. Um, do we have any uh patrons who have signed up? >> All right. Um, so, uh, we have three people to speak tonight. Just want to remind everyone that you'll have three minutes to address the board. Um that we can't speak back or ask questions at this time. And also um if there's
014any we want to keep it no clapping or ooh or boo or whatever. Just keep it really positive and we want to listen to what our community has to say. So that being said, uh Jared Whiting and he's going to talk about the fourth street gym. >> I got these for each you guys. >> All right. So, one step at a time. I like that because this is something that I've thought about for a long time and I've never really known how to address it. So, this is kind of my first step to presenting this to you guys. Um, I'll just kind of read. I had a bunch of thoughts and I know that it's got to be at three minutes. So, I'm just going to kind of read through the thoughts that I had
015and you guys can kind of follow along. But I just want to thank you guys for the opportunity to speak with you tonight. My name is Jared Whiting. This is my wife, Brooke. Um, I've had I've had the privilege of calling Kuna home my entire life. This community is part of who I am and so is the Four Street Gym. That gym holds a very special place in my heart. I grew up playing in it. My dad actually went to that high school where that gym is. Um, and now my own children are playing in that gym. And that building has been uh more than a gym for our family. It's been a place where memories were made, values um were learned, and the love of the game was born. But we all know that
016the Forest Street gym is showing its age. Um, it's been around for a while, but it's going to take some substantial investment to bring it up to code financially, structurally, and logistically. and that burden doesn't need to fall on the school district. Um, I'm here today to respectfully propose the purchase of the Fourth Street gym. Um, I put a number there that you guys can look at. Uh, we're fully prepared to close within 10 days. I mean, we're ready to go, but more importantly, we're ready to assume full responsibility for the necessary upgrades, uh, the repairs and any of the expenses that come with that. Um, we understand the skilled work that's required and we're committing to preserving this space for future generations. Our vision is simple. It's to restore and vitalize the Four Street
017gym so that that it can continue to serve CUNI kids just so that just as it served my family and so many others. We want it to be a space that fosters development, community, and passion for the game. As part of this proposal, we would also like to extend continue access to the gym for the school district during certain times to use for practices as well as we want to make the IT department still available to use that for the 2025 school year with uh rent free maybe with some help with uh some utility expenses and that kind of stuff. Um, our intent is not to take this resource away from the community, but to breathe new life into it and make sure it remains a meaningful asset for years to come. This isn't just
018a financial investment. It's a personal one. It's about honoring the past, building future, and giving back to the community that's given so much to my family. Thank you again for your time, and I appreciate all that you guys do for the kids and the district here. I know you guys do a lot. I've never been to a meeting, but I've watched them all. Saw saw some of the discussions that you guys have had. So, we really appreciate you guys. Um, and I appreciate your time tonight. Like, I'm born and bred Kun a 13-year club. Started in kindergarten at Hover, graduated in 98. I love this place, and I just want I love the four street gym, and um I know it can be a burden because it is getting older, but it's an opportunity to
019do something that I love, but also help you guys as well. So, thank you for your time. >> Thank you. >> Uh, we have Brook Whitingy next to speak about the horse. >> Okay. I actually wasn't even planning on coming up here to speak. I just started jotting things down on my phone as we were coming straight from Boyisey to hear, but he like was telling me, read to me what um he was going to say. And so I just kind of wanted you guys to see our vision and what we were thinking about with the Fourth Street Gym. Um Jared and I have been married for 23 years and um we have four kids and we're extremely extremely close family. We all love basketball and um I don't play but I love cheering for
020them and watching them play. In fact, the first thing we did when we moved into our house was we put a basketball court in our backyard and that's hosted thousands of basketball games. Um, my childhood wasn't spent here, but my children's has been. So, you could say Kuna is special to our family. It is our home. Now, for our vision for the Forest Street gym. Throughout our whole married life, whenever there was a vacant building, Jared would look through the window and be like, "Wouldn't this be so cool if we could buy this and teach kids how to play basketball?" He'd always say that. And it years ago when it was first sale, he was like, "Wouldn't it be so cool if we could get it?" And, um, it didn't sell. and um it's still
021here and we still use it. But um he would always say that. Well, a few months ago the opportunity came that we were able to take over Kuna Force and we we looked at each other like, do we want to do this? Okay, actually we do want to do this, but we want to do it differently than it's ever been. We want it to be a place that is um happy and that kids remember why they're playing basketball because I feel like sports has gotten so aggressive and so just like I mean it's competitive and we want to be competitive but we want it to be a place that kids like understand the power of their mind and how um what they can do with this positive affirmations and just helping them believe in themselves.
022But so we're doing it differently and we need a space to um to be sorry. Let me know if I can. >> You're fine. >> Um and so I feel like not just with basketball and what we're doing there, I feel like it can also help like adults too. I mean, we could do pickle ball, we could do I mean, we could do volleyball. We could do so many different things. Um, but I will assure you it's not about money. Like it it has nothing to do with making money. Um, multiple people, we've only had the force going for this last springtime and multiple people are like, when you build your empire and we're like, we don't want it to be an empire. We want it to stay small. We want it to stay feel
023like our family, but like our basketball family or or we want to feel like that community. And so, um, there's so many clubs out there, but we want this one to feel different. We want this space to feel different when you walk in the door, and we can make it ours. And ours um and um that's it. That's all I have to say. >> You did great. You stopped right when you're supposed to. >> Thank you. Thank you so much. >> All right. >> And then he gave us these documents, I think, about financial. >> Okay. We'll pass those on. Um, and then the last person is Brenda Blitman and um, the capital plan. And I forgot to have you and I I apologize. You're supposed to say your name and your address. So, I
024apologize. Would you do I need to have the other two stand up and do that because that isn't our policy. >> Oh, our name. >> Are you okay? Yeah. >> Yes. Please. >> Sorry. My bad. Brook Whiting 1905 Harrison Lane Idaho. >> Perfect. >> Thanks. >> And as long as I don't get in trouble, >> all right, good. It's good to know that you're okay. So, >> okay. So, if you'll state your name and your address. >> Brenda Litman 8460 South Locus Grove and that's Meridian, Idaho, but I'm in the Kim School District. And so I've been involved with the capital planning committee and one of the things I noticed um is that it seems like the plan didn't include enough time to to tell people about the any sort of a bond. And so
025as you're looking for the next input from the next um if you're getting an outside consultant to help, I want to have that decision made so that there's at least 120 days between when the um schoolboard election is and when the bond is on the on the ballot. And especially if it's in the spring, it's a lot harder to go door todoor because of the timing of the uh weather. It's dark dark earlier. So I would want there to be a minimum of 120 days from when you make the decision until the bond is on if if we do a bond till the bond is on the on the docket. >> That's my ask. >> Thank you, Brenda. Appreciate that. >> All right. And all right. Um, just in time for the CL capital plan
026update. >> Jason, [Music] >> um, just go back for a quick second. You saw Q come in late. He's one of our new administrators. Just wanted to mention him, but obviously he needed to run out. >> Okay. >> They they like like even Michelle was like they're they're way over on their kinder screeners and and so it was really tight for our elementary >> but yeah so >> do you want to spell his name for >> us >> okay I just wonder >> he goes by Q though really easier >> you must have learned that early >> it's easier to spell Q on your paper than the kishan but anyway go sorry about that anyway Shoot, we should have. >> That's okay. That's okay. So, we'll talk. Brenda, thank you so much for the lead
027into the capital plan conversation. Um, yeah, as you know, I I've talked every month for the fl past few months about the progress we made and even, you know, lately, I think we've been spinning our wheels a little bit and um just kind of struggling to make some momentum and to really get a plan kind of honed in. Um, I'm grateful that our group that's been coming together the last few months is probably more a little more diverse than we've seen in the past. Um, that's been nice and we've got good feedback there um from folks, but I I think we're at a place now where it's like you've suggested, you know, maybe relaunching the group with something that's not as um bland as capital planning, right? Uh let's make a little more pizzazz to
028it, which I love and I think, you know, we're we're working on different ideas for that. Um but the other thing I wanted to talk about today, you know, last month we took a break for the month of July. Our group didn't meet. Um but there was still work happening. Um you guys are all familiar with Michael Keith um from Zion's Bank that's presented to us many times, been in this room, presented to us over the last few years, many times. and he's been coming to our capital planning meetings and we've heard from him um a couple months ago he made a really impactful statement and he said uh you know that the the kind of culture around public education today is different than it has ever been in the past and he's been doing
029this for a long time. Uh he said you know in the past we would have to you would have to show the community demonstrate the need for the building that we were asking for a bond for or something like that. um we still have to do that, but in addition to that, now we're kind of in a culture where we really need to be able to also demonstrate the need of public education just in general. Um and so being able to tell our story is part of that. Um but also I think really we're in a spot where we need to get good feedback from our community. Um as you guys are all aware in the past we ran a bond. Um it failed to meet the supermajority. It met the simple majority threshold. Uh
030but since Idaho's, you know, the only state left in the country where we need that super majority, we have even a steeper hill to climb as others. And so I think that left us in a place where, you know, we're impacted by Michael Keith statement and just kind of looking at the culture and the climate that we're in. Um Michael Keith suggested, hey, why don't you, you know, why don't you talk to this consulting firm that we've um he's worked with in the past that can help us get some feedback and do some surveys and and things like that of our community. And I'll introduce Amy here in a minute, but um I want to have her talk kind of share a little bit about what she does. But uh we reached out to to
031Amy and her her firm and and got some feedback from them and heard about what they do. And I think we're in a place where we really want to take action on um having them do phase one of what they would consider a two-phase project where we they're really skilled. This is what they do. they go out for municipalities and get feedback from um your community, but also those folks for us that are really hard to connect with because we just don't have access to them is people that aren't part of our school district. Um they don't have kids uh in our district. They're not a parent or a grandparent or something like that. And so we we need to hear from those folks because I I know that in the past a lot of
032those folks are the ones that have not voted for our bonds. And so we need to hear what they want. Um, and so we I've reached out to Amy. I'll invite you to come up. This is Amy Holly. Um, she's from Portman Square. She has a few slides to share with you. But, um, we made a connection that we are both Boisey Braves >> when they were Braves. >> Boyisey High School. Um, both of us Boisey High graduates, which was fun to >> to make that connection. But, um, I'll let you share your your slides and then when you're done, I'll come back up and stand for any questions that you guys might have as trustees. >> Thanks. >> Thank you. Um, thank you for having me. I, uh, my name is Amy Hall. I'm
033a I didn't make it. I was born and raised in Boise. Uh, the firm that I work for is Portman Square Group. Um, we'll talk a little bit about what we do. If you I will say this, if you go out and look for us on the internet and you find our website, it will look very different than the work that we're talking about tonight. Um, there are two sides of the business. uh one is the intelligence practice uh which is more global in scope and then there's the practice area that I'm representing tonight which is strategic communications. There are three of us who work on that team. All three of us are Idaho natives. Uh we have an Idaho city girl, we have a Napa girl and we have a Boisey girl. Uh all
034of whom um went through public education here uh and have been members of the community for most if not all of our lives. Um so this work is really important to us. Um, I've been working with municipalities in conjunction with Michael Keith for about a year and a half. Um, really helping to try and connect with residents and with voters and the constituents of whatever that taxing district is. Um, to get feedback from them and to communicate the work that whatever that entity is is doing. Um, I will have you go to the next slide. What we've talked about with the district is a two-faced approach as Jason said. The first phase is really to communicate what the district is doing and also to get feedback from residents uh and voters um about their preferences,
035their opinions, uh what they would need from the district in terms of um support for a particular bond initiative. Uh we have a variety of methods that we use uh to reach voters. Um we use textbased surveys, social media, community forums, um a lot of lot of social media um through community partnerships, through the district's assets, and we would recommend taking a couple of months to do that. Um design a really good survey instrument. It's all electronic so that voters can do it on their phones, which is where most of us do all of our things, whether that's banking or taking surveys. That's that's where we find people we can reach them really really well. take all of that information, but also use it as an opportunity to to tell a story. Um, because it's
036electronic and it's uh delivered, it's not delivered on paper, it gives us an opportunity to to take more space and to tell voters and residents and constituents what you're trying to accomplish with this potential bond initiative that you might run in the spring. So, it's a really nice way to do two-way communication. It's not just tell us what you think, but it's let us tell you the story of what we're trying to accomplish. And it goes back to the things that you referenced when you introduced me, which is there is the need to communicate about the specific bond or project or initiative that the district is running, but it is also an opportunity to communicate the value of public education and the work that you're doing. And so we take that opportunity really seriously so
037that people know what your um what your goals and objectives are. So the we would run a survey. We'd probably leave it open for three weeks. Again um I would recommend a variety of different channels to reach people where they are. Again, a lot of the time that's on the phone. Um but figuring out to the number of different ways to let them know that the survey is out there. Um we often use media for that as well. letters to the editor or or press releases to to tr try and drive engagement uh so that we can get to a statistically significant sample. Um I need to run some of the more detailed voter numbers to get to that. But um if we can get there, then you can draw some conclusions about where your
038community is and what it's going to take to get them from a maybe or a yes into a solidly yes um position knowing that we have to be really careful that we're not advocating but that we're just educating. Um and that would lead into next slide please. Um, actually, can you go one more and then we'll come back into phase two if you decide to do that to really use what you've learned in the survey and then, pardon me, do the outreach about what the district has decided to do. Again, there's a number of different ways that we do this. We do a lot of digital communication, web, social media. We would recommend community forums. I love your point about 120 days because again with that super majority requirement, it's so important to get to
039people where they are. Um we can meet them on their phones, but if there are community forums or if there are community presentations that we can do, we strongly recommend that um so that you can talk to all of the voters. Uh and having enough lead time is really critical. So I like that point. you'll go back one more. Thank you so much for serving as my technical support. We've done this throughout the state. We do this with a number of we've got a number of engagements that are currently underway. Um we're actually working really closely with wet data right now to do some community engagement sort of on a more broad planning perspective, not necessarily survey work yet, but it will probably turn into that. But these are the four that we've done in
040the last year and a half. um city of Celane, we helped them um do a survey and a public engagement campaign for firebond uh in May. Um again, all three of these would have been supermajority requirements. Um and it's a it's a it is a tough threshold to get to as all of you are aware with your past experience. So any one of these um folks we could we could make references for you if you want to talk to any of them. Um every one of the uh either superintendents or fire chiefs or uh in Ada County's case uh the sheriff would be more than happy to serve as references offered. So if you want to talk to them about the work that we do, they're happy to engage with you on that. Um, that's
041the bulk of my presentation, but I'd be happy to answer questions about what we do, how we do it, um, timelines, those kinds of things. >> Yes. >> Um, on the first slide, it talked about the timeline of September, October or whatever it was, but it was fast and you said like we need to kind of communicate what our goal is and what we're going to do. And yet, I don't feel like we know what that is. So I guess I'm wondering how we can do that. We would work really closely with the capital planning committee long. Did I get that right? >> Whatever the new name that to craft a set of questions that just t because we don't have a bond specifically that we've decided on our mantra project. We would gather feedback
042about what it would take for them to support something in theory, right? and and how much information that they would need and also communicate their engagement with the district. Um so we can do it and have done it. Um we're doing it, it's not out yet, but with West Ada we're taking a similar sort of not project specific approach, but talking to them about what their values and priorities are. So there's ways to still elicit really good information. Um, if once we get to phase two, if that ends up being the path that the district decides to go down, we could do another survey and test specific dollar amounts and tax impact um, in a more focused, shorter survey to that same group of people who responded or that we sent it out the first
043time. Not exclusively, but making sure to capture them really deliberately. >> And sorry if any Go ahead if anyone else has a question. Um, I just wondered, you know, like, um, assistant superintendent ready talked about, um, like reaching those people that don't have kids in the district, and I feel like many of those are not on social media as much. They don't, you know, they're going to read the newspaper and then watch the evening news, but um, maybe not not as reachable. So, what's your technique to get in touch with them? Depending on I would recommend a couple of different things. We've used mailers that go straight to people's homes. Um, even though those folks that we're talking about aren't on social media, most of them have access to a computer or a smartphone. And
044so, we can do a mailer to their homes with a QR code that takes them where they need to go. Scan it and go, or a link. There will also be links on the district's website. Um, so yes, they're a challenging group of people to meet. The other way we try to get to that population or those populations who are not connected to the district and following the district social media and or aren't on social media often would be through community forums. So, we would recommend open houses or um going and talking a Rotary or whatever the at an Elks meeting or something like that so that people have an opportunity to engage. >> How I mean, how does this get around the state law of us not spend a district money on trying to
045get a yes vote for bonds and levies? How does that I mean, >> we do we do No, no, not at all. There's the there's a line between it's a great question because it's an important distinction um that we work and I don't know um Jason I'm sorry assistant superintendent ready >> you can call me >> I'm not used to it um who your bond council is or would be and that's something that you and Michael and I can talk about we very often will work closely with for example Holly Troxol or another law firm to make sure that we are adhering to the public integrity elections act and we do it all of the time. Um, every one of these engagements that were up was up there was subject to that scrutiny and met
046it. Um, because we don't ask for people to support. We are gauging their support and we are informing them in phase two about what you're trying to do. So, it's not asking for a yes. It's asking for participation and providing information. But it is an important consideration and we have a very strict standard legally through that regulatory framework that we we are used to adhering to. >> Okay. >> So along with all these questions which I think are good like we don't know what we're going to do. So what are your questions? How do we reach those people? Are we in the law? >> Um how many hours do you spend usually with the capital plan or whatever we're going to call it? What are I mean what how much time do you put into
047it more? I guess that's my question. It's more detailed, but >> as much time as it takes. >> Okay. >> Um, it varies from engagement to engagement. Uh, the development of the surveys and and the gathering of all that information is not something I do in um in isolation or all by myself. That is absolutely something I would work with Jason on and the capital planning committee um to make sure that I've got all of the information often. Um, and I don't know if you have a communications officer or >> Alison. That's right. So, we'll work with Allison to gather district specific information. Okay. >> Um, and talk to what you do, your mission, those kinds of things. So, a lot of these engagements um are pretty time inensive at the front end. >> Well,
048I that's kind of what I want to know. What you know, how much are you with them? Are you just kind of drop it go? I just kind of want to know your your commitment to the >> Yeah, >> that is that's not how I work. That's not how we work. >> Okay. >> We're really we really because we want the product to be useful. You know, I I could give you a boilerplate survey and you get nothing from it and learn nothing about what your voters >> and you can't because of the legal you can't say vote yes on the so you're just >> gathering information for that capital. >> Absolutely. Yeah. >> And informing them >> and information. >> It's an information sharing and an information gathering exercise whether that's phase one or
049phase two. >> What is something like the service run typically for a school district? >> My next question. >> Maybe you're going to get to that. But >> sorry I missed some. >> You want to talk about costs? He wants to know how much >> phase one I think cost. We get to >> 9,000ish. It was in it's in your board packet. Um, we put it in there. Both phase one and phase two are in there. You can see them split out. Um, >> it's typically for both phases between 28 and 35,000 for to do both things. Um, but those for our fees, there are also going to be some survey fees. Um, for that textbased outreach, I would imagine for a district of this size, it's probably 500 bucks. Um, maybe a thousand to
050get set up and then run it. Uh, and there may be printing costs if we want to do a mailer, for example. Um that said, we can adjust the phase 2 requirements and commitments and and meet a budget number that is both palatable and tolerable for the district while not sacrificing any of the quality. We can we can pair through things and the district can assume a little bit more responsibility for certain items in order to control costs in other areas. So there's there are ways for us to be flexible with that depending on what your budgetary financings are and we often do that. >> So you're saying 9,000 for >> phase one. >> I think 92 was what I >> Yeah, I think so. >> Yeah. >> And that's like like you said if
051we decide we want to do a direct mail or something too. Obviously there's more there but like come on. >> We're going to have to sell the poor street gym and the paperwork. >> There we go. See I like it. Yeah. Thank god you were here tonight. >> I do think you know >> we did hear you know when we were working on the supplemental levy and um one of the kind of guiding principles from superintendent beckadol was you know we we can't keep doing the same thing and having stuff fail and expect a different result. And so we worked really hard to try to do things differently on the supplemental levy and it worked. And um I the the previous capital planning group that worked before did great work. They have a great plan.
052I think there's a lot of good stuff there. But I I it feels a little bit unwise to me to just take that and say, "Okay, let's do the same thing and try again." We got to do something different. And I'm really excited. Like we've had some good conversations. Michael Keith speaks highly of Amy and her organization. I think we have we could build some really positive momentum from getting this feedback and and building this partnership with uh with Portman Square. So, go ahead. I'd like to piggyback on that a little bit and you alluded to this in the beginning of your sort of introduction and that is that the the rules of engagement are very different now and they've become different over the last number of election cycles and it's increasing the the burden
053is already very high in Idaho for the supermajority and it is becoming more difficult to reach voters and communicate about the benefits not only of the school's plan or the district's plan but combat some of the misinformation that can often be out there or the inability to reach voters and restore some of that faith in our institutions, education being one of those. So, we've seen this we've seen this often where where projects like this or bond initiatives fail um where they may not have in the past even with that that super majority requirement. And I think it just speaks to a very different reality that we're all facing when it comes to communications and politics and election cycles. And I think in Idaho, one of the things we've seen, and I know I've seen it,
054I grew up with Boyisey. It was very different place when I was a kid and even as a young adult. Um, our communities don't necessarily community members don't necessarily have the ties to the district and the community that they used to. So asking them to help fund education for their kids and grandkids and future generations felt a little bit more attainable because they were community members who been here for a very long time. We were facing districts where many of your community members might not have any tie to the district and don't know the good work that it does and the value that it brings and the and the role that it plays not only in education but just in community sort of infrastructure. And so with all of those headwinds, engaging with people who
055live here and aren't connected to the district and even those who are to communicate the good work that gets done, the value proposition to use a business term that is provided by the district um becomes all that more important because you have to tell the story of the work that gets done. >> I totally agree with that and that's been our problem here is we used to be a community where everybody kind of knew everybody. it was a farming community and now we have people that have never even been to Cuna yet but yet they're part of our district. So I wholeheartedly agree with that >> and I just have um just kind of a comment but instead of mailers I know we've used water bill in the past. Has that cost us anything? >>
056Yes. >> Okay. >> But it's probably less than a mailer. >> Oh yes by a by a significant >> Yeah. I'm just going to throw that out there because we've done that in the past that >> and that would be another great way to reach people. >> Yeah. The problem is some people don't get their water bills they pay online. But those are the people that don't are the ones you want to get a hold of sometimes. >> And that's why we don't rely on a single >> one >> distribution point. We try and reach people in as many different ways, as many different mediums as we can to control for that. >> I think we need to be creative. I think >> you both have hit on the head that it's not working. We
057need to do something. But I will say our business community really helped us with the levy and they were awesome. and they can often be your best partners. They can engage and we typically recommend Sorry, am I going over time? >> Um, we're getting >> Sorry, I'll just I'll close with we have found that those community partnerships that exist already between the district and businesses, the district and clubs, club sports, those kinds of things can be a really great way to get the message out. and they we often ask for probably Jason or maybe the superintendent to reach out to them and say, "We're doing this survey. Could you get this to all of your employees? Here's the link. Can you send this out, you know, to everybody on your distribution list or a chamber?
058Can you send this out to all of your members to really get as broad a look into the community as we can?" >> Okay. >> I could be available after this or by email. Jason knows how to get a hold of me if you've got any other questions or or want me to come back for anything else. >> It always takes time to digest. I don't have to. >> Absolutely. Absolutely. So, I'm happy for him. One of the things I'm excited about and just last Amy made my mentioned um I don't know if you said this or not when you were presenting but um we'll she'll gather the feedback for us and then is willing to come back and present that data and those findings to you as well to kind of help you know
059because at some point you're going to be the ones that have to make the decision on what's on the bond and what's not on the bond. So I think it'll be important for you to hear some of that feedback from our community too. Um, we'll also obviously digest that at a deeper level during our not capital planning meeting, whatever we decide to call it. Um, something flashy. Uh, but anyway, um, just wanted to give you an update that there is work happening on this. We have some positive momentum. Um, I think it will help our capital planning group kind of stop spinning our wheels. We're kind of like going, we're like the hamster on the wheel right now talking about the same stuff. And I think this will help us get some data to move
060those conversations forward and really start to get a plan that we can present to you uh about what we might consider for a bond. Um because I feel like we're a little bit behind the eightball. We're we're we're we're behind. We need to get some done. As I say, the only negative thing I see is it's hard being live in a community that has to look at every amount of money. And I look at that and say, "Oh, you know, what is what is the what are the patrons going to think >> of us spending this to to get a bond pass?" That's probably the negative I'm thinking, but I'm hoping that it's something we can think about because we really do need to do something else in my opinion. So, okay. >> I think
061it meets your obligation to educate about what you're putting on the ballot. >> I I >> it's not that it's not that advocacy role, but really it's you're fulfilling your obligation to really make sure that they >> they understand what we're doing and why we're doing it and that things are changing and this is the way we do it. I totally agree that I just know I who my patron >> diffult Yeah. >> Thank you for your time tonight. Again, if you have any questions, >> please reach out. >> Thank you very much. Amy, appreciate your time. Of course. >> All right. >> Uh we're going to take a look at increasing lunch prices. >> Manager Swanson. >> Hello everyone. Summer arrived today. >> Yeah. >> Right before school starts. >> Uh there's our annual
062uh look at our prices for meals. And you'll go ahead and go to the next slide, please. I I wanted to brag a little bit about our program and what we're doing. Um we have really coming out of co we have moved our focus back uh to scratch cooking and I'm happy to report that 100% of our uh breakfasts are now scratch cooked. Now we're not talking about fresh fruit and juice. We're talking about the entre. We have no box cereal. We we don't do any of that um sort of thing anymore. And 80% of our lunch items at the elementary are scratch cook as well. And I often use uh Alfredo sauce and is made from scratch items, not dumped out of a jar or a can. So our staff is doing a phenomenal
063job um learning all the new recipes and implementing that. And we're having really good participation. We've kind of flatlined um not seeing a whole lot of increase. So the same kids are are eating with us. Um but it costs us more to cook from scratch, right? Uh this year our our federal reimbursement it um raised just 2 cents per paid. So it went from 40 cents to 42. And that's the difference that we have to make up. Um if you'll go ahead and go to the next slide, it will show you that currently um for this year we will get $4.60 for every free meal that we serve. Um and we're not even close to that obviously. Um this nine cents that we get is for um mainly things that happen in the office and
064for doing things correctly and following all the rules. And so our total amount per meal is 469. when we looked at our weighted average uh when we do our PLE that's from the federal government um our target for the uh when you average these together is last year in October uh we came up to $361 but then when we come back and analyze the data in April uh it's kind of a October and April have very similar numbers. We were able to increase um our average to 374 and that's when we introduced these premium meals that you guys approved last year and I'm I'm happy to say that's been very successful. About 80% of the meals that we serve at Kunah High is the premium meal which has been very interesting. So the kids are
065really liking that. it's costing our families more. Uh, but they're they're really enjoying those meals. Um, so we're really starting to close this gap. I've done a projection coming coming into this year. I think our weighted average should be somewhere around 391. So again, we're closing this gap and that's what the federal government wants us to do. If you'll go to the next slide, please. So here's our proposal. um for this year is raising to 355 for elementary secondary lunch just the standard lunch would be raising it to 410 our premiums would go up a quarter because that's all the you know the bigger um hamburger patties which are made from scratch then good news this year we were able to um we're going to be able to purchase our hamburger from CSB Packers really
066excited about that because That keeps our money here. >> You're making hamburger patties, like not buying pre-done patties. >> No, we make our own hamburger patties at the high school level, not at the elementary level. We don't have the staff to do that. >> Um, and then raising our breakfast prices to 245. Um, and our adult prices, we meet the requirement. Um, so we thought we would keep that the same this year and not do an increase. But I suspect we will have to do one next year. uh the federal uh reimbursement rates went up 17 cents at the free rate this year. And so again, we're trying to close that gap a little bit. I stand for questions. >> Everything's going up. I mean, >> everything is going up. >> I know. Sounds great.
067The scratch thing. So the the number that you're reimbursed, we are reimbursed from the federal government are for the free meals for those people that qualify for that. >> Correct. >> And is it what about reduced lunch prices? >> Reduced prices are set at the federal level. So we charge the family 40 cents and then they make up that reimbursement back up to that 460. >> Okay. Yeah. And is it true that like when I was reading through it and I just want to clarify like that federal reimbursement cannot really like the reason why we're trying to balance things is because it can't subsidize these prices that people pay for. Is that I just want to make sure I'm clear on that. Okay. >> Correct. >> That's one of the reasons. >> Yes. >> And
068then can you give an example of what a breakfast is just because I'm curious. Well, it's been a while since I've been through the line, but um they receive milk, um fruit, juice, and then whatever the entree is. They're making cinnamon rolls on Tuesday. They're doing a farmer's breakfast, which is, you know, scrambled eggs and vegetables in there if we can sneak them in. Um there's homemade muffins. They've got a gauntlet of that. They created a a basic recipe and then they do like a maybe a chocolate chip or blueberry or cocoa or you know kind of go over the seasons and that's been really really popular. >> So that's what breakfast look like. We don't have a lot of kids that eat breakfast but we have we have some. >> And that's served at
069all the schools. >> Yes. I I can't remember if it's been a couple years ago there was a pretty big deficit like I thought was like 200 $200,000 >> people that haven't paid their bills >> for the charges. I'm happy to report that we got it under 19 just a little over $19,000 this year. >> That's that's really good. >> Yeah. >> Good good job. And is that from collecting amounts or people making donations or a combination? >> All the above. A little bit of hounding. A little bit of um but we we did receive some donations. >> We got some we got some fairly negative feedback when we had to cross that bridge. >> Yeah. >> So the deficit at the end of last year was just 19,000. >> Yeah. Okay. I can't tell
070you what the change is. >> That's right. >> Appreciate all the work you're doing. Um, do I have a motion to accept the lunch pricing? >> I make a motion that we accept the provided lunch pricing presented to us by manager Swanson. >> Do I have a second? >> I'll second. >> Any other discussion? >> All right, Kirsty. >> Hi, >> Michael. >> Hi, >> JD. >> Hillary. >> Hi. >> All right. And I'm an I. >> You never had her cinnamon rolls. Some Tuesday. >> I was going to say like how much does an adult roll? They are. They are three something. I was still a pretty cheap cinnamon roll for adult. >> Thank you very much. >> Thank you. >> I I can't remember to be honest. My favorite was the >> do
071potato soup cheese and cheese sandwich. That was good. I like that. But anyway, >> I wonder if more people will start to buy the lunch >> like after the they kind of like, you know, they know it's better now. >> That's from scratch. >> I should know, but I don't know if I really registered that. >> I'm going to try to talk my middle schooler into. >> There you go. It does save time. >> All right. Uh, we need to hear from manager Saxton about our bus routes and walk zones for the 2526 school year. >> Good evening. Hello. Hi. How are you? Thank you for hearing uh from me, chairman of Nixon Trustees. I'm here to ask for the approval for next year's 2526 school year bus routes. Any questions about them? >> I
072do have a question, but I think it's been answered, but I just want to double check. Uh I had some patrons that um got a hold of me. I don't know if you have anything to do with this, that are now going to be going to Hubard from Heritage Farms. Um, do we have crosswalks? My understanding is that there will be crosswalks and that there will be someone out there. >> Yes. >> Okay. That's kind of my I couldn't see that in there, but I figured you >> So, if anyone reaches out to us, they think they're over on the mile and a half, we will go out personally and check it to make sure they have a safe way because it looked like we we checked both all of it, but I can wear
073it. >> Yeah. Well, this patron was concerned about crossing Linder over to Hover to Hover School. It does look ugly, but it does fit under um the mile and a half, but they have to go to at the at the time. >> Yeah. >> Cross up at the light and then come down. >> Is there a sidewalk on that side? >> Yes. >> So, they go through this the neighborhood over here and come out to the crossing guard down here. >> Yeah. Because I know when I voted for that, I wanted to make sure the kids were safe. So, with school starting, I just want to make sure that our patrons know how to do that. So, >> yeah. And I'm also working with ACD for an improvement on the east side on Linder Road.
074>> Okay. >> They're still working and she said there's they'll get back to me with the uh some engineers to come and give me a call back and hopefully that's this week. >> Okay. >> And the request was if they could put um asphalt down the east side of Linder with some barrier bumpers there. So I want to put have a crossing there at Porter cuz you know kids they're that's what they want to do. >> Yeah. See that's that's my >> they not want to go the other way which is the safe way but because it does look it's not the they see that that's easier way and that would reduce actually the walking distance but yeah we're we're recommending that the other way >> that they go clear up and then over and
075then back. I just want to make sure that we have crossing guards and that that's all being taken care of. They've got they just ordered like the blinking stop. So it's like you see on Porter and the sign and the little those little things that light up, you know, in the dark in the early morning. >> We just got that order. >> Yeah. And probably 90% of their job will be to train the kids on they won't be able to stop Linder, >> but they'll be able to cross them from later. >> Yeah, that that's my main concern. So >> So yeah, and when they went to read, they crossed >> and then went yes to read. >> Yeah. And and that's what the patron the patron said, >> you know, my kid always made
076it to read the sidewalk all the way crossing guard. Now I'm not sure. And so I just want to make sure that we're providing that. >> Yeah. And we can help them understand where the the safe walking if they didn't understand. >> Yes, absolutely. >> Might be something to do open house night or something. Let people know. >> So all right. Um do I have a motion to ex um accept the bus routes and walk zones for the school year 2526? That's a move. >> Second. >> Got a third. >> Any other discussion? >> All right. Kirsty. >> Hi. >> Michael. >> Hi. >> Uh JD. >> Hi. >> And Hillary. >> Hi. >> And I'm an I. >> She's going to hate this. Just I just wanted to acknowledge this is Brenda's last time
077>> getting the crosswalk or the I mean the bus route zone and just just how lucky we've been. when you watch our neighbors and and not when you talk about homemade meals, we have homemade bus routes and homemade bus trips and homemade everything in the buses. Whether we can continue doing that or not, we'll obviously have to have a replacement for Brenda and we get her till January. She promised you'd stay through January. >> Well, you got to do some tugging there. >> We did. >> Well, first of all, congratulations and we will you will be missed and your experience will be missed. You've done a lot of years here. How many years have you been here? 10 years here, 25. Wow. >> Yeah, I looked through those. >> So, thank you for your service.
078>> I felt like it was complicated and tricky and I was like, "This looks great. I don't know. >> I trust you." >> Yes. Thank you very much. >> Yeah. She can plan it all out. She has nothing to do with road construction. So, can't blame her for >> No, no, no. But we try, you know what, we uh when we hear the complaints and the concerns, we try I reach out, see what we can do. We like last year I had a a special needs student couldn't get to the bus stop and it was an awkward and ACD wonderful job. They run they helped me get a a good platform put out there as quickly as possible and to make improvements for this young man. So >> Oh, that's good. >> So we try
079to stay on it. Well, thank you and I hope your retirement will be wonderful. >> Scary and exciting. Yeah. >> No, no, it's something we look at. >> Anyway, thank you so much, Brenda. Appreciate your service. >> For sure. >> Yep. >> Hopefully a new person will still let me borrow the shorts. >> Well, you're you're good to put your request. >> You're on a roll tonight, J. We'll make sure it's in the contract. >> Uh, and we will come September's agenda with the process of how do we how do we replace it, Brenda? And what do we look at? What do you guys want us to look at? Is it as simple as hire replacement or is there things you guys want us to look at? So, we'll be ready for September for that.
080I stand for I think there's seven uh amended six amended uh policies. You guys have any questions or anything that we need to fix? >> I have no questions on that. Anybody second? >> Okay. Do I have a motion to pass this first bank of >> I make a I make a motion that we >> pass the first reading of policy 216 280 350 352 400 403 and 544. >> Do I have a second? >> Second. >> Any other discussion on any of these? >> All right. Uh Kirsty >> I. >> Michael. >> Hi. >> JD. >> Hillary. >> Hi the nine of I also. All right. I >> There you go. >> Those are the ones we just passed, right? >> Yeah. So, it should be these are >> that >> we have it
081here. >> It should be 3143 912.1 and 912 um >> E. Yeah, >> which I have a question about those. >> So, I I did have some questions about I believe it was 912 >> the procedure. Yeah, the procedure um if you open it up and we're considering >> Oh, wait. >> Yeah. >> Is that the go? >> Is that the one that tells >> the display of flags and vendor school property procedure? >> Okay. So, is that the procedure? point >> the committee. >> Yeah, the committee. That's my question. >> So, >> yeah, if you click on it, I don't >> you want to know. >> So, yeah, I talked to Hillary a little bit. I I guess I shouldn't have said that, but we talked. >> We're talking. >> Okay, good. It was
082prior. Anyways, um >> committee. Mhm. >> Um my my question was you had I believe a uh patrons two or three patrons trying to remember now. Yeah. >> Oh yeah. It's under the review process a little bit. It's close to the top. >> Yeah. >> That the district review right there. Superintendent or does designate no less than three parents one district instructional support staff member which I think is great. So some of my questions are why did we not decide on a board member? Is there a reason for that? >> Because ultimately, just like the library, >> it comes to us. >> It it'll come to you for a final decision if we can't come to agree. >> Okay. So, that was my first question. Second question, will this be a committee that stays the
083same or will it be a everchanging committee? >> Ever simp. So, we we honestly modeled it exactly like the library just so our patrons had the same procedure whether it was a library book or it was a we felt like both of them should be instructional. There's a poster on the wall, banner on the wall. It should be instructional just like a book on the library. So, we modeled it just like that. >> And then I notice you have a superintendent or designate design. I'm having trouble saying that word tonight. Um, why is there not a teacher or is that the support staff member? >> This is it because it didn't work at the building level. So, the complaint went to the building. The the building decision and the person doing the complaint were in
084agreement. So now it comes to committee when it comes to exactly the same as the way the library is. >> Okay. I just I'm just wondering you know since a teacher usually will be >> ideally maybe at the very beginning stage I'm I'm a parent and I don't like the I question the banner hopefully I go to the teacher first >> it isn't >> I'm just saying the teacher at large >> being on that committee. Well, I think if it's about a teacher's poster, it's probably better not to have the teacher on. >> Well, but that's then the opposite would be they have input to like whether that would be good or not, what the teacher was thinking. That's all. >> I think we also felt like we didn't want to pit teacher against teacher.
085>> That's a good point. >> So, what's a voting member? >> Those people that >> would be the Oh, sorry. >> No. Yeah, >> you're saying the people that are on the committee would vote. >> They are voting. >> Yeah. So, you're going to get like a 41 32 5. >> Okay. >> Hopefully in the world we all get to that. We all agree it. >> No, that's why I just like to ask these questions to see where you're coming from. >> Um, so just can I add on to that a little bit? Um, so the way I read it, does it come to the board with their decision and then we make the final decision just like the library? because that's maybe not the way I thought I read it, but >> um like
086it does it come to like if that committee comes to a consensus then does it come to the board with that recommendation or is that where it ends unless they can't come to it? I think the committee if they still feel that the the patron still feels like they disagree with the the committee's decision then it would come to you and similar to both and that then the designate would share what the resolution was and the patient would get an opportunity to still say how they disagree with the committee's decision and then you guys would ultimately get to say if you agreed with the >> the resolution the committee the res the resolution the committee brought forward or if you felt like it was >> so this is a little different than the way that
087the library book one works because that always comes to the board once they find their recommendation and this could be resolved prior to coming to the board. >> Okay. >> I think >> not having Kevin because Kevin gets to be our designate for both of these not having his expertise to go to >> I know I know >> hearing it. So if you guys would like us to double check >> it that doesn't have to come to the board that these guys say >> and the same with the library. The library you feel like >> no the library does but this >> tell me if I'm wrong did anybody else >> I didn't I didn't get that from it. I thought it would come to let me see >> and our goal was to make
088a match. So a patron would would have the same pro instead of having eight different processes that gets very confusing for all. Well, where are you seeing? Yeah. Where's >> I'm going to try to read it because I could have >> missed. Yeah, I read it as it comes to the board after the committee's review. >> So, the committee makes a recommendation and brings it to the board and then just and they can like both present like the teacher that's got the banner in controversy or whatever. >> Yeah. If the teacher still they're in a disagreement or the patron's in disagreement. Absolutely. >> Oh, right. Like so it could be a parent that creates an issue and then so the parent could speak and the >> teacher and then a committee member and then the
089board makes a decision. Okay. >> Yeah. So >> that's the way I interpret >> in the resolution it says upon completion of the committee's consideration a written written recommendation shall be forwarded to the board by the superintendent. >> Okay. So I'm assuming that means it comes to us and we have the final decision. Okay. I make a motion that we adopt the following policy at 314, 403.1, 912.1, and 912. >> Well, I'm not quite ready. I did have another question. >> Okay, go for it. >> Um, and I don't know if it's here or it's the other one, but it talks about displaying flags and banners, but then it talked about shirts, and I wasn't sure where that came from. >> Is that on this one? Because we talked about >> No, it's not on
090this one. >> It's on the next one. This is the procedure for >> for for what we're doing. So, okay. So, if you go to the other one 912E, >> did you want to >> That was my only question and you answered all the ones I had. >> I'm also fine with that one. >> So, that is the form. >> Yeah. >> Right. >> And is that where it is? Oh, yeah. Personal items such as pins or shirts worn by students. >> Yeah, that was my question. And then right says, we'll take that one first. Like do we have to really be does this like I guess um what I was wondering is like that per it's like second to the bottom on that >> personal items such as pins or shirts worn by students
091>> and like doesn't that isn't that handled at a school level oh I guess if a student wants to keep wearing it like over and over again. Is that what it is? I >> I just I thought that Yeah. I I didn't know the reason for that. Is that state law? >> Is that is that what the law said? Okay. Yeah. >> So the state law has to do shirts. >> Yeah. Okay. >> For students as long as they follow the dress code, >> but like the but teacher shirts, we don't there is we take no issue with that's like within policy of like >> there's nothing written in the law about about staff shirts. >> Good. >> I just didn't want it to be extra on teachers to go around, okay, you're not wearing
092the right shirt, you're wearing the right shirt and it's but if it's law then it's law and I get that. >> But do you kind of think this is it's like they don't really have to do it. It's just if somebody wants to create a complaint about that particular shirt. Yeah, >> if you go back up um on that one where it says who's doing Kuna School District parent, Kuna School District student, Kun School District staff. I'm curious, there might be an other uh person and I don't know who it would be or what it would be school district patron. >> Well, it could just be a it could be a grandma who came into the school and saw something. So, I was wondering if we should have like an other or something. >> But
093are we going to take are we going to take complaints from anyone but these people? >> I don't know. See, is that law? >> Do we have to or are these ones we have to do? >> There's a legal guardian here. >> Yeah. Oh, we can do that. >> Yeah. I just Well, >> it has to be within our district. >> So, it has to be someone. So, like let's just say some patron came in to pick something up. >> It doesn't count that they can complain >> if they're not a legal >> a student. >> Like if they have no connection to the school via a student or a job, then they can't >> then they can't complain. >> Okay. Well, that answered that question, too. Thank you. >> I just have one more
094thing on on that form, like where it says, "Please check which areas you believe have violated the banner or poster, and then it says like political party, race, gender, sexual orientation, political ideologies." I can kind of come up with in my head like three or four others that maybe could be there, but I wonder if we just want to put like other like like religion's not on there or I don't know. So, I don't know. Like I'm fine with it, but I just think maybe somebody's gonna want to write something in that it doesn't >> But if it's by the law, they have to Are these the ones relationship? >> I'm thinking that religion is the only other one that I can think of that might be in the law. >> So making sure religious.
095>> Yeah, but what if you're let's say you go to a church and you're wearing your church thing. >> Well, but it's just like a banner on the wall and your t-shirt you can wear. >> That's what I'm saying. If it's on the shirt, too. I don't know. I >> We can just make sure those boxes make sure these follow the law. Just make sure they follow the law. >> Yeah, >> that's it. Okay. >> Um, and that's all I had for those two. So, I just had those questions. So, go ahead. Do we have a >> second? >> Okay. >> All right. And is there any further discussion >> for clarity? Was this the only one that had errors that or corrections? We need you guys to see typing >> for the formatting issues.
096Sorry. So, all three of those should come back for second read. Correct. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Not to call you out. I just >> No. >> All right. >> We won't >> throw anyone out. >> Are you ready? >> The first on that. Sorry. >> It was JD and Michael was a second. Any other discussion? >> No. >> Okay.

097strength second reading for policy 632 and 912. So 632 it was you guys passed it as a first read but it was mismarked by me that it was 6:30 and it was open roll. So the only change was we got now it's the correct number and it's the correct place. Nothing in the policy was changed. We can click on it if you'd like to see >> but it it was a second week we just wanted to >> it was the missing policy for about three days and then we figured out what it was. >> We said it wasn't missing. Both Deian and I were both right. >> All right. >> It's nice that you're both right. Can I say I love it when no one That's all that matters. >> Yeah, that's all that matters.
098>> And the only change on 912 is to cross out public. >> Yeah. If it And especially with the go on banners, posters. >> We have a lot of teachers that wouldn't be able to display their university. I This is not part of the law. >> Um and I don't know why public was there. Um, >> nobody really does. >> And then down at the bottom there's cross reference to the two new policies as well. So those are the only changes. >> All right. Do I have a motion? >> I make a motion that we approve the second reading of policies 632 and 912. >> And I have a second. >> I have a second. >> All right. You decide who you want on that second. And is there any other discussion? >> All right.

So, we were unable to review it. >> What's not in it? >> The school financials isn't linked. It's not blue. >> There is no change because there's no school. Okay. >> There's no change.
