001[Music] Okay. Well, um make a motion that we go into executive session according to Idaho code section 74-206. Second. Um all in favor. Okay. Motion carries. [Music] Well, we're out. We're out of executive order um or executive session. Let's uh stand for the pledge of allegiance. 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. Okay. Do we have a motion to approve the agenda? I'll make a motion to approve the agenda. Second. All in favor? I I I. Motion carries. Okay, moving on to celebrations. Um, the uh strong relationships, the Moody. Um, let's see who's going to do that for that is you. Okay, so this is a brief but very important recognition
002for the Kuna School District. We get a gold star because we got a double A rating from Moody for our credit rating, which means low risk of default. So, congratulations. This this right here is the official front page of that issue from Moody's and the DA rating in the top left which you can't see very well but it's there. So great job school district. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. So schoolboard appreciation month. Um, yes. I would just like to say, um, thank you to our school board for all that you do, uh, for your support and for, you know, your wisdom and helping us make decisions. And, um, just for being willing to come in, visit with us, go and visit schools. And I know you have a hard job. We know you have a
003hard job because you get lots of emails and questions and everything like that, and you handle it well. But um like I said um even before is I really do appreciate the opportunity to get to work with with all of you because you do a great job and thank you for being willing to serve for the pay that you get. But no, truly we really do appreciate all that you do and thank you for all your long hours that you put in with us and um for your support means a lot. You're still going to fund them once a month. Send a different trustee Hawaii. Yes, it's Kim's turn this month. Tim's turn this month. I'd like January. Okay, but I get to go, too. Every month you get to go. You got to have
004support. Superintendent Beckall, can you help us with the update on the kindergarten open house? Yeah, we again um and Kevin can help chip in here too because Mrs. Clemens. Oh, Mrs. Clemens, too. Yes. um and Melissa probably too. I don't know if you were there or not silver, but we did our the kind open house in May because we had to make some changes uh for the from April to May because of the working on that boundary change. But it was success. Um it went well. All of our schools, five of our schools that have the kinder said it went well. They um good turnout and they prepared well. They had fun stuff happening. Would you add anything shade to that or? Um I think the majority of us had more kindergarten students come to
005open house this year than we've seen in several years past. Yes. And lots of positive comments even after the boundary changes. There was a lot of positivity and excitement for the new year. Good. Kevin, anything need to add? No, that's what I heard from principal. That's what we heard too from neighbor. Yeah. So it went well. Okay. I want to do the PLC. Yeah. Conference update. Yeah. Trustees, there's a a photo here. Um, last Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, our district sent 145 participants to the high impact teams training with uh about our professional learning communities. That's been our focus. It's part of our strategic plan and the student learning pillar. uh it's our process for how we do things to make sure that we're providing quality instruction every day in every classroom part of our
006vision statement. So, this was an awesome opportunity because as we focused on this all year long, um our goal has been to get as many people as possible to go to one of the trainings. And so, we knew that they were this is the same kind of a training that we took our administrative team to last year when we went to Las Vegas with our grant money. And for this year, we used some of that the the part of that grant money was left over and then our budget that we had put aside for professional development. And then buildings also paid to send additional people because it was that important for them to have their whole teams there. But um so this was that continuation of that work and uh it was just a great
007experience. The comments that I kept hearing from I was rotating around at different tables and like almost every table I went to somebody says thank you so much. This is the most valuable training we've been to. Uh and for us it was a great opportunity because when they came to Boisey we don't have to pay airfare and lodging. So it saved us a lot of money and that's why we were able to send so many people. So to make a big change in the district and our culture and our practice to send that many people is huge. So it's a great opportunity for us to go and we've got a lot of momentum right now and we want to keep that going. So thank you for supporting us with that strategic plan and student pillar.
008Yes. I just wondered what high impact. So the focus of this was basically on how we do um the PLC has four basic questions and the first one is what do we want all students to learn and know and then the second one is how will we know when they've learned and that's really what this focused on. It doesn't go beyond that much into the RTI or how we respond when kids don't know it. So it's really just helping us get our processes in place, how we work as teams, how we assess the learning and how we use that assessment information. So that's been our our focus this year was all about uh what we want students to know. We've been working on getting our essential standard pri we call them priority standards. The state
009calls them essential standards. So we've been working on getting those all aligned to K12 and then really knowing what that means. And then next year our focus will really be on assessment. So it's a it's the work we need to do. It helps us and this was really important at the conference. So one of the main presenters said because PLC professional learning communities and he asked us what does the L stand for and of course everybody knows learning but he said who's learning and professional learning community is really about the adult learning. It's about helping us to be better because if we're better then student learning will also improve. So that's the beauty of this. This is our professional development. It's just becoming who we are and how we operate but it will make us
010better in the long run. So and we were the the shining star of the conference. Nobody had anywhere close to that number of people there. So, and so anyone who wanted to go could go, anyone who signed up or how did that Well, we targeted I targeted first with the district uh professional development funds and the grant money that was left. Our leadership teams in every building. So, anyone on a leadership team that had not yet been to a training, we targeted them first because we want the leadership teams in each building. And then principles that paid for additional spots, they targeted beyond that. So like Shay and Robbie both had teams or people that on teams that hadn't yet been. So they would now have whole teams that have been trained. So it depended
011on the principal at that point who all came. So but our goal is at some point to have everybody at something. Sure. We and our feedback to solution tree who does these trainings is come back to Boisey please because we can send more people. Well, maybe with this attendance. That's what our hope was. That's why I put that in my feedback and I talked to every one of the main people that were there and said, "Please come back. We've got a lot of people here. We'll do it again if you come back here." So, anyway, it was an awesome experience. So, I'm going to stay up here if you're because I'm next if you want. Okay. Go ahead. Capital plan update. End of assessment. Yeah, we can skip right over me. No, I'm sorry I
012messed that. Yeah. Tonight I want to give you um a look. We're just going to look at data in two ways tonight. This is big picture and it's just about proficiency and our trends over the last three years. Uh this data is not official yet. I don't but it'll only change slightly as they they apply the business rules. Sometimes they weed out some of the kids because they haven't been here long enough, those types of things. But for the most part, our data will stay the same. So, I just want to show you big picture where we ended on uh on proficiency, but then we'll also look at the three-year trends because that lets you know big picture at least where we're going. So, this and this is just the state mandated testing. So, um
013this is the IRI um which of course is changing next year to a mirror. I just went to a training for that today. Um but in kindergarten we ended with 77% of our kids who reached the kindergarten proficiency. 61 in first grade, 66 in second, and 72 in third grade. Um I included these up here because I wanted you to get an idea of how we track throughout the whole year. Uh so and this is a good example of what I want to show you at the beginning of the year. This is where our score were for our kids who were were two or more grade levels below. And by the end of the year, you can see that same group of kids we moved up here to just below grade level. And you won't
014see that same kind of movement everywhere, but that's the kind of that's the kind of internal data that we look at more closely than just the end proficiencies. Uh there's a couple other spots. Let's see. This one right here. we were in the middle of that about a year below and we were right up there on the cusp of being at grade level with that middle group in second grade. So there's that kind of data that we also look at but the proficiencies are up here. On the next slide you'll see these this is the last three years and I use the last three years because it's really since co these are the three solid years that we haven't had you know we we've adjusted since then. Um and I put the green lines in
015here just to show you the trend of where we're going. So, in our kindergarten, you can see we're trending upward overall. Um, first grade, I'm going to come back to that one in just a minute. It's trending the wrong way. Second and third grade overall are trending upward as well. So, what this doesn't tell us is why this is happening. That's what we need to look at now in our professional learning community groups is let's talk about first grade. What's happening here? Do we have a mismatch of resources? Do we have a mismatch of our essential targets? What is it that's causing that? So, that's the work part of the work that we'll need to do next year. One thing I do know that I can add to the story already is that the test
016changes. What they're assessing in kindergarten at the beginning of first grade, it changes partway through first grade. So, that's always been a point of contention that our first grade teachers would point out to you. Um, but it needs to change. So, we have to figure out how to deal with that better still. But, for the most part, we're going the right direction. Again, like I said, next year we have a new IRI. Uh we just learned today that they're going to delay the fall IRI. They will count our October instead of our August September date. They'll count our October because they want us to have a chance to have the kids on it for a couple months before they pull our first data point for the state. So, it'll be interesting to see what happens
017with this. The difficulty is we won't be able to look historically now because we'll be comparing two different tests. That's ridiculous. So we'll have changing it. It's we'll have a new baseline next year and then from there we'll have to compare and see where we go. The assessment itself though from the trainings I've been a part of, I think it's better. Okay. It gives us more actionable information. It uses artificial intelligence. So it pulls multiple data points uh from the activities it has kids do and it cuts the test time at least in half. And that's it is our kids will it only take them about 20 minutes some less but up to about 20 minutes. Right now it's taking our kids 45 or even longer to do the test. So I'm excited about that
018and then we'll see how the data information plays out for us. Okay. The rest of this now is the ISAT data. So we'll look at ELA first and these are just the current proficiencies for the end of the year. So you can see we're in the 40s in our third, fourth, fifth grade, which is about where we've been in the past. Um these the colors, if you remember, this is um above grade level, at grade level, approaching, and well below. Okay, sorry. What are the 40s? So is that the total of Yeah, this is the total of green and blue together. Okay. Yes. And then the next slide shows you 6, seven, 8, and 11. Remember, we don't take it in ninth and tth grade. So, sixth grade, still in that 40s, and then we
019jump up into the 50s. So, we're making some progress there. And then here's the trend on that next slide. Same thing, green lines here. What you're seeing is that in third, fourth, fifth grade, we're making slow gains, not huge gains, but over the last three years, you can see in sixth, seventh, 8th, and 11th grade, much bigger trending upward. Um, this is the year we adopted this is the year we adopted a new curriculum for middle school, my perspectives, and common lit for high school. So, that could be one of the factors. Again, this doesn't tell us why the change. It just shows us that there's a change. So, this is again good news. This is really good news. And we need to leverage what they're doing in middle school and at the high school
020level to see what they're doing so that we can help maybe shift these upward a little bit more, too. All right. The next is math. These are again just the overall proficiencies. And you can see we're more in the 50s except fifth grade. That was a unique as I was looking fifth grade across our district this year was down a little bit. So again another opportunity for us to have some conversations. What happened with fifth grade this year and then 678 historically our middle school math scores in our high school have been lower. Um so you'll see there they're in the 40s now except for the high school. And then the trend line shows you a little bit more of what's happening over the three years. You again you can see in third, fourth, fifth,
021we're trending the right way. But it also the proficiency kind of comes down a little bit and from fifth grade there had been this huge drop to middle school. But we're seeing that same pattern in middle school. We've got these sharp increases in proficiency ratings. And then even in high school, it's still really low, but it's trending the right way. And this is interesting because even the state has talked about the ISAT and whether or not we should be doing it in 11th grade. And we've talked about this last year. We talked about that math data because the math test again, remember it, it covers all your math one, two, and three. And our kids are all taking math one, two, three. So, it's testing kids, some of our kids on things they haven't been
022taught. So, it's really in my view, this 11th grade ISAT is kind of a mismatch. What we've been learning about our professional learning communities is the essential targets that you assess to what you teach, but they're assessing to things we don't teach because we don't have kids in those courses because they don't need those courses for the career path they've chosen. So, but again, the work that's going on in middle school two years ago adopted their new curriculum as well. They're showing great increases and they've also devoted a lot more time and resources to their math instruction. So, there's things we can glean from that as well. So overall, our data still is not where we want it to be in terms of just looking at straight proficiency, but when you look at the trend
023lines, especially in these middle school years, we're doing something that's moving the needle and we need to keep that going. So that's all I have for you tonight. I wanted to be short and sweet because we're just looking big picture, but if there's questions you have, I'd be happy to answer them. I think it'd be great if we could hear later once you've assessed what's happening at middle school if maybe you could come back and tell us. Yes, I have some of those ideas already, but I Yes, I would love to maybe I can have the middle school people come help share what they've done so you can hear that. The other thing I would love to do at some point um probably in the fall if you're open to it, I would love to
024come do a work session with you, a data work session, and we can just we can get dirty with the data, just bring it all out. we could dive into different types of data, how we're using data. I think that would be a good experience for you and you could ask us lots of questions about, hey, what does this data mean? How do you use it? That kind of stuff, too. So, if you're open to that, I'd love to do that sometime as well. I personally would like it. I would like that. Okay. All right. Well, whenever you guys want to do that, we'll I'll we'll get ready. I'll bring in more people that are smarter than me to help. All right. Any other questions? Thank you. All right. You Okay. Capital plan update. Um,
025this is Superintendent Jason Ready. Yes. Uh, uh, Vice Chairman Grant, Chairman Nixon from Hawaii. Uh, trustees. Uh, this is just a quick update for you. We met last night, um, for our June meeting. Uh, Trusty Bruce and Trusty Thornton were there, so they are can share some details with you as well. But just wanted to kind of give you a few highlights of the things we talked about. Um, last night we had our architects LKV and Benitin talk to our group a little bit about like the building climate um, in Idaho, how long it's taking to build things now. And we looked at a few of our uh, building plans and like what what were the different phases for Swan Falls and what were some of those things that we planned to do. and the
026group, excuse me, the group had made some requests for what modifications we might do to that and and what that would do to CC count. And so we kind of dug into that a little bit. Um, we also heard from Michael Keith from Science Bank. uh he has shared some really I think interesting stuff with us about just kind of the climate uh in Idaho for passing bonds right now and especially with school bonds and that uh you know he he's been doing this for 20 years he likes to say and um that in the past you had to as a school district you had to be able to kind of sell the project you had to sell the building you had to sell the need for that um but now we're also in a
027place where we have to we also have to Well, the just the public education is important. Um, so there's a little bit more of a heavy lift than we've had in the past. And so I think with all of those things included from our group, um, we really landed in a place where the reality of trying to run a bond in November is probably not a great idea. that, you know, waiting till May at least if if that's something that we decide to do, um would give us more time to tell our story, explain, um answer questions for people and things like that. Um couple other things I want to make sure I mention. Uh Brenda Blitman, who's actually in the audience tonight, thanks for being here, Brenda. Um we had met in between the
028two meetings and um she did some research and kind of just she presented our group uh uh a plan an idea of how we might take that previous bond uh 110 million bond that failed in in 2003 by really failed by a small margin. Um she kind of condensed that down and shared with our group some ideas and I think we got coalesed around that a little bit. it was helpful for our group to kind of see just what it might look like to scale that back a little bit and still try to do some things for each school. So, Brenda, thank you for thank you for doing that and I I'm sure we will come back to uh her her ideas when we come back in August. Um and maybe some others as well.
029We did have um 62 invitations were sent out. We had 22 people in attendance. Um that's including district folks and some of our experts. Um, so one of my main focus points going forward is going to be try like how do we get some more people involved because um, sending emails, sending information, sending calendar invites doesn't seem to be quite enough. Um, so we're going to lean into that a little bit. Trustees, would you is there anything you think we might should add to that update? I don't think so. I think you covered covered it. Okay. Um I just had a question like what's the discussion like what is the discussion about for a bond like what have they has the has a group come to any kind of idea of what a bond would
030be for or what the priorities are I think the first few months and I'll I'll I planned to say this and I I skipped it but um we've really been trying to answer questions about growth and about you know capacity state schools and how we calculate those things and um looked at a couple of you know we toured Kunaha High um toured Kuna Middle School a little bit last night. We've obviously been to Swan Falls. Um so we're just trying to like answer questions for some folks that really were operating in a place where they needed some questions answered. Uh so I think our next phase is really going to be moving into like what is going to be on the plan like let's start to really get like prioritize the kind of Yeah. Get
031dirty with the numbers, right? Thank you. It's not a big enough group to really get a full consensus of what the community wants. Well, is there something that you need from us to try to get more people there? Like well that was one of the conversations that I was asking Michael is does the board need to come up with an idea to like move the needle forward so that the group because it's so small understands okay are we saying we're only going to bond in x amount of money or maybe like are we only going to bond for xyz so that they understand the collective of what we're going to do versus asking them what they want because a couple of them are just no voters and so they're really struggling with understanding what it
032means to run about even answering questions or like presenting them with an idea and then they tear it apart because they're trying to figure out what's the bare minimum. And so that's where my idea came of well maybe instead of like the concern of like maybe we just need to decide what is the bare minimum and present that and then have a conversation around what does this look like to you like do you like this or what would you like to see and versus instead of just having it be a blank statement. I mean I kind of like that idea of like we could meet and talk with people that about it and then present a little like maybe some questions like you know what's your prior we feel like these are some of the
033priorities come and tell us what you think about these things you know but I don't maybe it would drum up some more interest if people were new like when you hear capital planning I think it's a bit like people are like yeah I don't know what that is you know but if you're like new building or like creating space or like maybe if we renamed it a bit to market it. I don't know. Or if it's like we're only bonding for XYZ. Well then then the community knows oh well this is what they're bonding for and then it creates conversation of well I don't like this or I don't know maybe we do this. So sometimes when you just put push the needle forward with an idea, then it produces conversations and allows other community
034members to come in and give ideas and and then they have an idea of what we're doing. And so then it creates more of a conversation and sometimes it brings more people in versus trying to get people to come to produce the idea because they're not really grasp like they're not really coming for that. And we haven't I don't think we've pushed them hard to do that yet. I think we've really been in a we've been in a place where it's like okay you say your physical capacity of your building is this. Other people say it's this. How do we do the math of this? Trying to answer some of those like so that they feel like it's a real issue. Yeah. And you know, I think I think we've been in a place we
035even saw this with the the supplemental levy a little bit for whatever reason restoring a little bit of trust, building that transparency with the community um has been kind of a and I think we do that best when we answer questions openly, honestly, transparently. Um and we've needed to do some of that. So, I think that's been been one of our focuses as well. But I like your ideas of maybe rebranding the name of the committee. You're right. Like, we did hear that from some folks. plan. I mean, I don't know like like if you didn't tell me what you were talking about at the meeting, I probably wouldn't guess it was about new buildings or bonds or anything. Well, but I have been posting on the Facebook group too to like try to create
036the conversation, but that I I don't I know Brenda helped us market too on Facebook a little bit to try to get some more. So, um we our plan is to not meet in July. It's a tough month for people. Um, we're going to reconvene in August. Uh, and and I have some some work to do between now and then, too. So, Michael Keith shared some ideas about potentially there's some um firms out there that we could work with that will help us do some voter analysis and just try to get a general climate survey of our community um around the idea of bonds, around the idea of our school district and what do they remember from the 2003 bond? Why didn't that pass? maybe, you know, do you why don't you vote if you
037don't, why do you if you do, those kinds of things. Um, so we're going to explore that with him a little bit and see what that might look like. Um, so there's a we're still moving on stuff even though we're not meeting. And I wonder if maybe some of those people, those districts that ran bonds and they didn't pass, you know, like Middleton or something might have some insight if we talk to them. Yeah. Um, yeah, cuz I I mean I heard about quite a bit of money spent trying to pass a bond in Middleton and felt just a bit short there. But anyway, I I wonder if they might have some good insight. But yeah, I was hoping that their superintendent would be at the meeting this morning, but he wasn't there since I
038was going to ask about that. We've heard I've heard a little bit about maybe there was I think maybe a ground swell of some things right before the day of or a short time before the day of the election that created some confusion for voters. And so I think we can anticipate some of those things by trying to answer questions and uh anticipating those things as they might come up too. So but yeah, I agree we can we can poke into that some more too. It's a different group, but I'm I'm thankful for them because there was a group that was already, you know, hey, let's pass it on. But then there's this other group like, no, we need to know more. And I like that group. I like that group because they're asking some
039really good questions and they want to dig deeper, but they're still coming. They they've continued to come. So, that's a good thing for us because they ask good questions. They make us better. And they make us better. Genuinely make us better. Yeah. Great. Yeah. So, for sure. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Do you have any delegates signed up? Alison. Okay. So, moving on to unfinished business. Um, so Brian Grace trustes. I'm back real fast. Just so you guys, there wasn't an action to this last time when remember you guys approved for us to do the uh black top and the parking lot receal, but you had questions about the the uh alternatives. So, this would allow us to go and do the work for the one or both of the alternatives that you guys wanted
040to do. Tell me what the KMS event parking is. That was that that Oh, refinishing that. Correct. I mean, it would be a total redo at this point, right? It would be a total redo. And I I didn't want to be presumptuous and not put that on there in case you guys did want to discuss it. So, we just put action and let you guys discuss which ones you wanted us to go find out um what the bids were and then say EA or nay. I mean, I would say that B is a higher priority than A in my opinion, but might as well get a bid for them. Yeah, I would agree with that. Go for a bid on both of them just to kind of see what we can pick from there. Maybe
041I mean, I do agree B is a concern over A just because they are driving to school, but it doesn't hurt to understand prices and what it costs for those students parking along the road. I I just don't like seeing it. So, anything we can do to try to alleviate that problem. I'll make a motion that we get bids for asphalt alternatives for KMS event parking and KHS student parking lot edition. I have a second. Second. All in favor? I I I I say I Okay. So, moving on to the next one. Um, save schools. Go ahead. Take it away. Two separate projects. Um, we have two elementaryaries that we still have not been able to finish the perimeter fencing. Um, both Hubard and Silver Trail. So, Hubard um there are two bids. This this
042may sound a little strange. We're actually our preferred bid is the Meridian fence bid. Um, it's a little more than $1,400 more. Uh, the reason why, and I have backup, for those of you that haven't ever met Johnny, our maintenance supervisor, is this is a very late night for him because maintenance supervisor gets here really early and gets to do all this stuff early in the morning. But, um, his request, my request is that Meridian Fence, you'll see in a second here, was by far the the lowest bid for Silver Trail. Um, there's a small rot. It's not rot iron fencing. It's rot and it's delta W. But anyways, I learn new things every day. But if you look in front of Hubard, there's that rot iron fencing. When we add the err classrooms and
043the classrooms to the the annex, you could actually leave and go right to the playground and they would like that just to be a small little hallway. So Meridian Fence that that project was much less than $10,000. So they'll do that for us. They're doing silver shell for us. And I don't want to speak for you, but I know Johnny would much rather just deal with fencing is a different animal and he would like to deal with one company for all three. So our preferred bid and you can ask him any questions you'd like, especially why it's rot instead of raw. I mean, I just am wondering is there any re reason why you can't ask Meridian fence to match the view fence price? Like that's what I would do if I was doing it
044at my house is because they're adding in the extra rot iron. That's a different That's a different This is just the perimeter fence and it goes all the way from the neighborhood down the side and there'll be two because there's that fire lane for I mean that's what that road is for is in case there were a fire we have to do two rolling gates at those. So it's an apples to apples bid. Correct. So, so is there a reason why you can't ask them to to beat that to meet that price? That's very possible and I can do that. Absolutely. It seems like they might want all the work. So, it's not that much money to if it's not that much money to us, it's not that much money to them either. Well, I
045think it'd be nice if we could save the money and still go as Meridian Fence. Are we breaking any rules though by doing that? Because we're almost telling Meridian Fence what it wasn't a seal bid. Okay. Do you want to make a motion with that? Yeah, I'd like to make a motion that we go with Meridian Fence for the all of the projects Hubard and Silver Trail and the little addition. um and provided that Meridian Fence will do the project for 18,38363 like fe. So question if they say no and we take an action can we still stay with meridian fence or does it have to be brought back for another action because I don't want to extend the project another month so especially with the 4th of July. Yeah. Correct. So I could amend
046my cuz I'm okay going with mine fence regardless if they match it or not. Hopefully they're not listening. Well, you're going to have to make a motion to keep I mean we have to keep it anyway so that they can move forward. So we have a second. What are you gonna you have to amend your motion? I know. Well, I don't really know if it's worth amending them. If if we're going with them anyway and it's in the minutes and they can easily see that that's the case, then we might as well just go up to the events. I mean, we can always ask before you say yes. Okay. We have a motion on the table. Do we have a second? I second. All in favor? Kirsty? I pardon me. I don't know what the
047what's the motion that we're going with. You made it. Yeah. But I'm just saying like so we're not going to move forward with Mie and Fence if it if they don't meet the price because that's the motion I made. No, we are still going to But that's not the motion I made. I thought that was the motion. So I could I could make a new motion if that's what we That's what I just asked to amend the motion. so that they can move forward regardless what if they say yes. Kirsty's amendment. Okay. Motion. Sorry. We need a second for Kirsty's motion. Yeah, but you amended it. Okay. We have amended motion on the table. Do we have a second? One of you has to second cuz apparently it's my motion. So, yeah. Okay. I have
048a second. Okay, we have a second. All in favor? I I I I Okay, motion carries. Okay, the second slide shows you that Meridian Fence. It was almost $5,000 difference between Superior Fence and Rail. Silver Trail is just on the two sides. If I say sides, you're right. And there'll be it'll be a rolling gate, but that'll also close them and there'll be a perimeter fence for them as well. So, this one's just for correct. Okay. So, we need another motion for this. Yeah. Let me see. Get this slide. I'll make a motion that we accept Meridian Fence on the Silver Trail fence project for $14,17745. I second. All in favor? Hilly. I I I I I Okay, motion carries. Moving on to new business. Um organization strengths. Uh I got the 2526 school year
049negotiation agreement. So that's just me. I know there's all those people, but they bailed on me. Kevin said he would, but you know, I'm here, but I already facilitated, so she gets to present. I'm Melissa Nelson. I'm the current AA president. This is our proposed negotiated agreement. Um just to review, we are on an interest based bargaining system. So we begin our um negotiations or collaborations um at the very beginning of the school year. We look at um how things kind of went last year and what kinds of things we need to continue to work forward to. Our official negotiations start in April and then you can see the other dates that we had. I don't know who's I don't know who to look at who's moving. Okay. So, um we presented the membership with
050this with the slideshow and answered questions and opened the voting on Wednesday, May 21st. Um the insurance came with another bid. Um so we reopened negotiations. Um we made no changes. So, we went ahead with the ratification approval um process for Wednesday, May 28th, and here we are tonight to present to you. Um the insurance costs across the state have gone up. Um the legislation was aware of that and provided some extra monies based on our FTE account counts for insurance rates, but it wasn't near what we needed. Um but we have agreed to a 16% increase um for regions which will be covered by the district for employees but anyone with dependence on their plan will fulfill the 16% increase. Uh will dental was an increase of 6.8% 8% to be covered by the
051district for employees but again dependent will um have to be covered on the employees tab. Um delta dental will increase 2% but our BSP vision plan has no increase. I just have a question why two dental insuranceances? Um will dental is kind of a I don't even like it's kind of where you go to like primary health. You can only go to primary health. You only see you don't necessarily see the same dentist every time you go. You just It's kind of a My Dan can probably explain it better because I I can answer all that. Oh, yes. No. So, I mean, I probably shouldn't have spoke up because I'm not a fan, but um Right. it, but it's an option for they have um some of their uh out-of- pocket maxes and their um
052from what I hear from people in the district that employees that do use it, they have a pretty good um orthodontist. Yeah. The orthod orthodontics 100%. So, it's hard. It's hard for a lot of families not to take it. Yes. So, so are employees double covered? No, you have to choose you have to choose. Oh, okay. I get it. Yeah. But Wamtt Dentl is an insurance company that owns the dental office and so everyone there is an employee of the insurance company. So it's like kind of like so you like you can only go a conglomerate. Yeah. Yeah. They only have like two offices. Okay. They're um we were when we were discussing the bids um they're just about to bid themsel out of um employee reach basically. Okay. They've continually increased every year and
053they're with this 6.8% increase they the 100% orthodontic is pretty much the only thing keeping people there. So, um, other items we negotiated, we were able to negotiate an increase. College credits are going up. Um, I'll talk more about why it's important that our teachers have masters and advanced degrees. Um, so we are doubling the credit reimbursement for from $150 a credit to $300 a credit um, for up to six credits per year on advanced grace. if you are getting a a master's degree or a master's certification or PhD if you're so inclined. Um we added JOTC to our um activity stipened list. Currently they were not being paid to do all their services. Um there are three open houses that are um mandated, can I say mandated? mandated by the school board and the
054school district for um certified staff to be at the kindergarten open house, sixth grade openhouse, and 9th grade openhouse. In the past, they've been compensated by maybe being allowed to leave early one day, um which teachers just don't do. So, this gives them a $100 stipen for their hours after contract hours on that night. Um and then they are required to be at these events. Yeah. So, this is like if if a kindergarten teacher did not show up to go to or did not show up to meet incoming kindergarten students, then they don't get that $100. Yeah, they don't get the 100. Um, we found that our early literacy early literacy specialist that we had this year was not able to um was not as helpful as having her as an instructional coach. So using
055title one negotiating to use title one funds to um extend her into an instructional coach position or in not necessarily her but that position into an early from early literacy specialist to instructional coach which is I I think you can see with the data from the II. Um, and I totally agree with the um with Kevin and the apples to apples of the first grade. They're at the beginning of the school year, they're assessed for letter names and sounds, but by the middle of the school year, they're being assessed on whether or not they have fluent reading skills. And so, obviously, it's hard to like take a test and say at the beginning of the school year, they knew their letter names and sounds, but they haven't been able to put it together to read.
056But that's what that data is showing. Um, so I think um I know the state department of education is putting quite a bit of money into their early literacy program, but I think having that instructional coach be able to um work side by side with um teachers, especially with this new IRI being rolled out the um that that'll be helpful. Um we negotiated to return early release Wednesdays to the middle school. they have really felt the um the missed opportunity of collaboration of being able to meet with their team to look at data to um collaborate that way. So adding that um one of the ways we were able to do that is the state um changed their transportation formula just enough that we can pay for that Wednesday transportation. Have wacky Wednesdays again. Wacky
057Wednesday. Well, elementary has always had whack has continued. Now it'll just be into the um middle school, which from what we heard from our middle school teachers, they were all there hasn't been one negative comment about it. Um just trying to stay competitive with our sub pay, we've increased it from $95 to 110 during the week and 130 on Mondays and Fridays from 125. Um this is directly from your um policy pages. This is the staff protection that is missing in our master contract. So we wanted to make sure that we had some protection language for our staff. And so we literally are cutting and pasting this into our master contract document. All right, here comes the big I'll try and keep it brief. Um so the state legislation has mandated that we increase um
058the salary schedule based off the career ladder to um I'm just really tired today. I don't even know why. Um let me back up. So our funding is based on how many teachers we have where the teachers are placed on the career ladder. So based on um how many years of experience they have um and how many um and their degree the state only funds for bachelors and masters and they only fund based on residency, professional and advanced professional certification. Residency is your first three years of teaching and then if you have met requirements you move to the professional run um after five years. Thank you, Kevin. After five years, then you have the ability to move to advanced professional. Um, if our teachers are advanced professional, we receive more compensation for them from the
059state as opposed to if they're just professional. So, we want our teachers to be advanced professionals so that we are receiving more funding. However, the state um has changed the minimum for what it was. So this was 43,000. Is that correct? Yeah. They're requiring us to add the 60 6359. Remember when they said that every teacher got that raise, but they didn't codify it. This year they told us that even though it's not codified, we have to add that 6359 to our minimum. We knew they were going to have to do these minimums, but we didn't know we had to do what wasn't codified. What's scary is if they take that money back because it's not in Idaho code, it's already in our pay scale. So, every district in the state of Idaho is now
060pay scales and we can't go backwards unless we call for an emergency. So, we just got to trust our legislators based on and so they um the legislation mandated that they put that 6,300 in as well as a and after that had been put in a 5% increase on top of that. So they'll be funding us this year with that 6,300 and the 5% increase based on our FTEES which we know that we're at least 100 over FTE 150 now FTEES over it depends on what category some of you have certified questions so this certified okay so what it did is all of our really hard work that I've been standing up here for the last four years talking about fixing our salary schedule, getting rid of all of our furlow years and all of
061those things um kind of went away. But because we had fixed it, it was less of a headache to change this. But what it did is um some people will be really happy with the raises they're getting and other people are getting a 2% raise. So across the board um for both certified and classified there's a minimum of 2% with the possibility of more. So hopefully we can balance things out next year with different funding. Hopefully the state will figure it out. So this is what our new salary schedule look like. And is this part of the budget that we already received, right? Yep. Because I knew all this when we did it in May, right? Um go ahead and skip that one. Okay. So this is our new seller schedule. So there are it's
062so complicated now because we've decided to make things more complicated. The legislation is saying that if you are a if you are a professionally endorsed teacher then this is now your minimum. You can be in a prof a professionally endorsed teacher any time from year three forward. So um year eight we were um is now that will be the minimum. So if you do not move from professional to advanced professional in year eight then you will continue to get that minimum professional. So that's what those two different amounts are. So this is if I stayed professional in my career. I didn't move to advanced professional. This would be my salary continuing from year to year. This do you move based on your education? No. Um I'll show you what you have to do in order
063to um and so if I did though, if at year eight I was able to meet the requirements for advanced professional, then this would be my new salary. Oh, the 64. Yeah. So that's kind of where um we had to figure out where the minimums ended um and where because we can't pay our employees less than we did before. So some people, this is where that 2% increase comes in. Um they were above the minimum but um there was only enough to do that. So you just added the 2% just 2% there. Yes. So anything that is only one was higher than the but still the increase is 2%. So okay, next slide. Okay, go. I don't think you have my slides. Um, go back one more slide from that one. Yeah. So, these are
064the in order to be a professional teacher from your residency to professional, you need to have taught with a certification for three years, you need to meet the professional run compensation, which is that you are two of the three previous years or the third year. You are proficient or higher in your part two evaluation. um you demonstrate 50% plus 1% of um students have met their measurable um student achievement target which um currently the legislature demands that kindergarten first, second and third it has to be based on the IRI which is frustrating for teachers um when you especially with that apples to oranges testing and then you have to have a a written recommendation. So, it's difficult to become a professional, but not not overly difficult. If you're a good teacher, you should hopefully be
065professional. However, to be advanced professional, you have to have taught for sorry, you have to have your eight years of renewable certification. You have to meet the advanced professional compensation run which means that you have to have of the last four of the five previous years you have to have no unsatisfactory or basics have a the professional endorsement and then be distinguished in domains two or three or three or three you have to be distinguished in four of domains two or three a majority majority Three out of five. Three out of five. Um, you have to have um completed your individualized professional learning plan, which is basically the 50% plus one. Um, and then you have to have held a leadership role during three of the previous years, which for some of our teachers is
066something we'll need to look into changing so that we have more opportunities for leadership. some of the teachers that's the only piece that they're missing, but not everybody can be the team. So, and do you know what the percentages are in our district of how many are professional and advanced professional? Yes. Yes, we do. I don't, but Right. Yeah. I mean, I I can get you those numbers right after percentages. And then if we were true and I don't mean to take over, if we were true career ladder, you can see The mandatory is only at RP and AP, but there's like R1, R2, R3, and we get different funding in each one of those. If a district is truly career ladder, then you would those are the monies that you would see at each
067level. Um, we can't there's no way we could afford we could have afforded to do the minimums and then do the raises like those. Um, ideally someday maybe we can get there. Some some districts are trying. I know. I know even and I hate saying this, but even Boyisey said there's they can't do the complete career letter because they can't afford it. I'm not this but yeah, I can give you exact numbers. Brian went through every single person. So, he has all of that on his spreadsheet multiple times. Multiple times. And we are finding as we're doing that, we're finding that there are some errors. some teachers um either they they've moved from another district to our district and their certification years were not um correctly listed, they came from out of state. Um so
068we're doing our very best to kind of clean that up. Um we're working with the employees directly to make sure they know how to look up their certification, um how to find their evaluations from the previous years and make sure that they're moving forward at a good tra trajectory. So, okay, things that we will work on next year. Um, we still need to go through and um make not adjustments but justifications for our extended days organizational charts. So, this is an example of our $100 that we just added for our kindergarten um for the open houses. Is that why are people in our district receiving stipens? um how much are the stipen that they're receiving and if they're receiving extra days, what that looks like, who how they're accountable for it, why they're getting extra
069days, that sort of thing. Um looking at helping our sped teachers, they're quite overworked. Um we need to figure out a way to lower our family premiums as we've just raised them 16%. Um we need to find ways to make our employees dependent health insurance more affordable. Um, we still need to work on our class size recommendations and caps and um, we are wanting to work on getting our staff classified reimbursement. That was the other part that was missing from my this slide. So, the classified schedule we also were able to add, we negotiated to add a different um, step I guess. Is that what you guys call it? So there was um for this classified paras there's different classifications based on where they have for certification or endorsement and for some staff the paras
070they were bumping up against a barrier of a bachelor's degree. They're able to get like our um paras with our behavior paras they're able to get different certifications but they were not getting more money because of those certifications. and we created a line that allows them to go ahead and get those certifications that other districts are paying for. Um so that we can keep those people in our district because they're highly qualified. Um and that's okay. Um so if you approve of this then we will send contracts out June 16th and they'll be due July 1. Any questions? Oh, thank you Melissa. Yeah. Thank you. We have a motion. Um, I'll make a motion that we approve this contract negotiation and timeline. Is that we got a second? Second. All in favor? Kirsty? I I
071I I I Thank you. Okay, moving on. Could I just say something about that because the KA that they've been it was a great collaboration, a time of collaboration and we had we were going to get to some of those other things and then at I mean at the last minute we got hit with that career ladder thing and like you were there and we got hit with that and it was all of a sudden it was like we had no choice but to do that minimum and put everything else on hold and and it was great because we all came to the same realization There's nothing more we can do right now because we have to tell about your cell phone that day. They're burning. Oh my. Yeah. My cell phone was just blowing
072up because we just got that word from the state and every was like what are we going to do? What are we going to do? But our KA was just so good about like acknowledging and realizing like there's nothing more we can do right now but do this. So I really do appreciate. Thanks. Thank you. Okay. Will Steman, you want to talk to us about the 24.5 budget? Yeah. So, I just briefly also want to second what Kim just said cuz I was part of the collaboration negotiation and I was very impressed and Kevin did awesome job. I really appreciate it. So, the purpose of today's presentation is to approve the revised fiscal 25 budget which is ending this month and also approved the proposed budget fiscal 26 for next year. Now, fiscal 25 because
073you had we had some big revenue item come in the modernization fund 25 million. It comes in throughout the school year. I update our systems as a revised budget and it still needs to be approved by you. And then the proposed budget is the main purpose of of this. And when we talked in May, there hasn't been uh changes, but what we were waiting on was the health insurance to see if it was going to come down. It didn't. um it's remained the same, but with all the collaboration that we did and the great communication, all the things that she just mentioned that we negotiated on, uh those were all put into the budget, so that everything was was set to go. Um this slide is what I shared with you in May. It's the
074same the same assumptions in terms of expenses and revenues going up. So the revenue because this the legislators approved increased funds for salary benefits health insurance discretionary staying the same didn't increase and then the expenses which she just covered which primarily was over a million dollars of hitting those minimums that that expense increase which we will we will get some increased funding for that but it won't cover at all. And then also the uh health insurance was the other big one of 16%. um the revenue going up also because of the supplemental levy plays a big part of of that in in addition and then I'm going to get into the units now because I had mentioned in May where this year we had went up from what was originally projected a year ago from
075264 to 277 which helped us out this year and and I also want to explain why we're also projecting about 277 units for next year as well and so I want to explain to you how does the state come up with these units, how do they calculate them? And it's important because the units is what the general fund revenue comes from in the big four categories. So you've got your health insurance and discretionary and then you have your salary and benefits and those four are all the revenue for the general fund and it's all based on the number of units. So let me just show you real quick where the units come from. So this from this law, this code, this sheet applies to all the school districts in Idaho. So it looks super confusing
076with all these numbers and things, but I'll just do brief explanation. So they break it up into different types of education. So you got your elementary, your kindergarten, your secondary, exceptional alternative, and then they assign divisor based on uh different divisors based on those categories. And then over here in the on the left part is your your enrollment and the attendance of that enrollment. So if I just do a simple example for you, we'll go to elementary and let's just say we have exactly 300 kids in that particular school or uh 300 across the schools um attendance of that enrollment. Let's say for grades 1, two, and three, your divisor would be 20 and you'd get 15 units for that that group of kids. This is the minimum that you would get. So you'd get
077at least 15. So let's say your average day attendance is 400. You'd still use the same divisor and you'd get 20 units. So 400 divid by 20 to get 20 units. And so what you do is you add up all of these units and that's the total units that you would have in the school district. Now, just to give you an example, what you then do with the units and come up with the funding. So, with health insurance, for example, they allotted our school district $20,000 per unit. So, if we had 277 units, you times it by 20 grand and that's how much you get for health insurance. Um, this next year they upped it a little bit to 21,000. So, you times it by that and that's how you get the the new health
078insurance. Now, there's two different types of units, though, so I don't want to get too boring, but want to explain it. Um, so there's the what's called the midterm units and then there's another one called the best 28 week units. So, whenever you hear the word midterm, that means your first 10 weeks of school. So, or the first 49 days of the school years. And three of the four of those funding items are based on that midterm. So those first couple of months are extremely important attendance because the more attendance you get obviously better education but you have more state revenue meaning you need less local tax revenue so it's better for the wallet too. So it's very important that we push those first 10 weeks and then the other one which is discretionary funding
079is actually based on best 28 weeks. So the state looks at 28 weeks towards the end of this year and it may be above or below that first 10 weeks and they adjust discretionary funding based based on that and so hopefully we haven't dropped a whole lot on that so it hurt our our discretionary funding. Um but the other three health insurance salary and benefits that's based on the first 10 weeks of uh of units. So now let me just show you an example. This is the official one for the CUNA school district that that you receive every year in December. This is the midterm report. So not the best 28 weeks but the midterm. But this is the most important one of all where most of our funding comes from. You can see this
080is 49 days that they looked at across our various elementary, secondary and using the divisor as it showed on the previous screen and then you get the units and what you do is you add up the units. So this second sheet shows the other schools that weren't on the previous sheet and even exceptional and they all come up with the various units and they totaled up for us 278. And then you may say, well, why did we not actually get uh funding based on 278? Well, there's one other little item here that you may not be that interested in, but it still happens. It's the protection. So, when you went when we went from COVID based purely on uh enrollment to now average day attendance, a lot of school districts saw a decrease in funding
081because of that, some more than 3%. So they instituted protection, but you we also still need protection because of a a change that could happen with a school district. So school districts around Idaho may have um lost some enrollment or had their attendance get worse. And so what what happens is school districts like us where that didn't happen is we're subsidizing them and they take a little piece based on the size of your school district out. So they took almost a unit from us away. So that's why we were at 277. In prior years, I looked they actually took more units out from us in prior years. So it's it's actually stabilizing this insurance program. We we don't have to subsidize much. But let's say we have a problem. So I'm budgeting 277 again, but
082let's say we have a problem with our attendance um our enrollment and we were to drop more than 3% below. this would help us because other school districts would then subsidize those. So the most we could ever go down in units from my from our budget would be 3% which would be in the high 260s. So we're guaranteed to get funding in all those categories or general fund of at least the high 260s unit. So that's that's comforting to know that we're we're going to be protected. And the reason they do that is so that school districts can can transition. But what that also means though is we're we're kind of guessing this number, right? It's not a big number of of units. But let's just say a lot of school districts do have problems
083in Idaho. People move out or school choice or whatnot. This could get bigger next year and hurt us a little bit. So if it's more than a unit, then that starts that starts to add up and that hurts us with with funding. But that's basically how that insurance program works and how we came up with 277. There's another uh state spreadsheet that allows me to go in and put in what Brian's projecting on enrollment. Now, that could change between now and the school year, but we do our best guess. And then I also put in the attendance. And so, I've I've put in the 92% attendance, which is what we had this year. Most of our schools did better in 92, but there was a few below. And that's what we average. But if there's
084a big change in that, yes, we could get less units or we could get more units. And the the important thing to remember is if your funding is based on the on the units that if we all of a sudden have a lot more attendance and enrollment, then we will if we need to staff up to it, we're getting more revenue, we can spend more or or the reverse. So if it if it drops way down and we know it's real and it's going to stay way down, well then we got to start cutting expenses and make adjustments to staffing. So either way, you can move. Um so that's why we're coming up with the 277. So it was a great question in in May uh from Hillary on that. So I wanted to explain
085how how all that works and then again in the appendix in your specific detailed budget document you can go and see that salary based aortionment you can see how they take those those units and how they come up with the amount of FTEES that they have for classified certified Melissa I was talking about that and we they only all lot so many in admin and we have more than that and they only all lot so much average salary in a lot of cases we have more than that and So that's that just shows you how how they fund. Uh so any questions on the units? Super helpful. I feel like Okay. I do have one question. A lot of times I hear about the fifth day of school attendance and and I guess I didn't
086hear anything about that specifically in this. So what's Yes. Fifth day. Didn't somebody just mention that there? Yes. Oh, yesterday capital. So what was that again? It's kind of like just that that report. We send that report to the state department, right? I mean, fifth day attendance is something we report. So, it's like it's just a reported kind of like a baseline to establish for everybody. Oh, okay. Yeah. But the what really matters is over actually a really much time for funding. Okay. Yep. Okay. So, then that takes us to uh the revenue and expense slides that are the same that you saw in May. And the important thing to remember here is the increase because of the supplemental levy, the increase in state revenue, which gives us 5 a.5 million increase over over the
087prior year. And then when we look at the expenses, fortunately, the increase isn't as much as the 5.5 million. And that's good so that we don't dip in next year into the fund balance as much as we had to this as we planned this past year. But the expense increase which we've already mentioned several times is the increase in the minimum salaries, the insurance, cost of living, inflation for various things. And then that gives us to our general fund uh balance which had uh been nice and healthy the last couple years according to the financial statements, audited financial statements. And then what we're projecting this year, which um again I I think there's a greater chance once all the health insurance stuff is done, even just this year, that this will be less and this
088balance will be le better than 15. Um I just wanted to make sure that we were okay there, which will then translate to a better balance next year. and the general fund revenue and expense really really balancing with the exception of the transfer that we have that we are projecting to make both years for the increase in special education fund and and costs. But the idea here is you know to not have uh too big of a balance or before these years it was too low. We want to get into that good comfortable range. And the reason why you want to have that is because what I just explained on the units. There's variables we don't know about that could happen if the tenants enrollment or just that thing protecting other school districts. And uh
089you there's also a timing issue sometimes where you have to spend money and then the revenue that you plan to match that expense comes in a little bit later. So the the fund balance gets you through them those months until it catch that revenue catches back up with what what you planned and that's why it's important to to have that and be consistent with that fund balance and an ending fund balance percentage that you that is recommended is about so so you your policy I believe is is nine 9 10% um so but uh we we also have to remember that you know with timing and emergencies is that you can go through that that pretty quick. And so that's we want to get into that low teen range and then try to try to
090stabilize and match revenues and and expenses. And thankful for the supplemental levy because without that to be able to do that, we would have um not been able to get those FTs and let go of other FTEEs. So that that really helped out. So we the school district uh propose or recommend that you approve uh the the revised fiscal 25 uh budget and also the proposed fiscal 26 budget. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We have a motion. I'll move to approve the fiscal year 25 revised budget and fiscal year 26 proposed budget as was presented. Second. All in favor Kirsty. I. Michael. I I I Okay, motion carries. Okay, thank you. I just want to say thank you to Brad. He does a fabulous job and and us even just walking through it
091with him and understanding that very complicated budget sheet. He does a nice job of grateful that he's here. Okay. Assistant Superintendent Graves, you want to talk to us about all these wonderful policies? I would like to nominate Brad to be the first policies. Uh we have eight policies before you for first read um with amendments. So I stand for any questions you guys on those eight um first read amendments. Um, I will make a motion that we approve. What do I have to say? Do I have to say all these numbers? Yes, you do. Because if something changes in the future, then we have to have the names and titles. So, I I need to say amend. Approve to amend. Yep. uh policy 300, 516, 542, 568, 679, 900, 910, and 1,00. Second. All in
092favor? Kirsty? I I I Okay, motion carries. And we have four new policies to uh be read for first reading for adoption. I'll make a motion that we adopt the following policies um for the first read 774 846 942.1 and 943. I'll second. Okay. All in favor? Hillary. I I I I Kim I Okay. Motion carries. Thank you. Do you want to second reads? Yeah, these three policies have kind of been stuck in second read for a while. Um I have something to say about 402. Perfect. So that's the first one with amend for second read. So I know it says word for word on the Idaho code, but um in my opinion and from what I understand, we need to follow the code, but we can be more strict than the code. And so
093I would like to see them not have contact with students until they have not five days but not 5 days after but before they have contact with students as I've said [Music] And I guess in support of that, I think we've seen quite a I mean, I don't know if it if these the situations across the state would have been alleviated by this policy, but we do see an incre we have seen an increase in my opinion just from watching the news now our data of of issues with and and so I I'd like to see Kuna have some solid ground in the way that we treat, you know, who's who's with our kids unsupervised and I think they should pass a background check before they're with them. That would be my proposal. Don't make
094a motion. Yes. What would you change the days to then? Zero. Z. Okay. So, I have made this motion previously and I think it's come back the same way. So, and I know that's because it's says that's what the code is. And so, I guess I would like to see us be better than the code. And so if that's possible, I will make a motion that we don't we we need zero days um contact contact until they pass background check. That would be my motion. I'll second. Okay. All in favor? I I I I Ke. We will hold that one. It'll bring back it for second read again with that changed. Okay. Thank you. Then the two for uh second read again for adoption and I would like to make a motion that we adopt
095the following policies 681.1 and 1013 for the second for a second range. I'll second. All in favor Hillary I I Michael I I Kevin I Okay, moving on. Thank you. Um the consent agenda. Um I think we need to amend because we just did the superintendent's contract for um 25 26. Where is that at? I thought it was supposed to be a So it's in the personnel report. So we need to amend. We need to pull it from the consent and then make a motion to amend the personnel report. Okay. So I am going to make a motion that we approve the consent agenda minus the p the number seven the personnel report. Second. All in favor? Hillary I I I I Okay. Now, um, now now we need to make a motion to approve
096uh the superintendent's contract for 2526 to amend the personnel report to Okay. [Music] And and so what do we do? I'll make a motion that we amend the personnel report to approve um Superintendent Kim Beckall for the 25 26 school year. Um do we state salary? Yeah. For $149,000 for next year. Appreciate you. Thank you. Second. All in favor? I I I I Ken I I Okay, so motion carries. Thank you. Okay, moving right along. The good of the order. So, adopt the following policy 205. Oh, no. We're at the good of the order. I think that was part of the consent. It kind of looks like it's not, but it's part of the consent. It's part of the consent. It has not. And it has an action item on that we need to do
097that separately. It does. 205. [Music] Yeah. Sorry, I missed taking off the action. That's part of the consent. So Okay. Um good of the order days August. Um it's usually the first weekend in August. And then also just want to thank the I think the football program for um helping move all the stuff at Hubard, right? Is that what it was? Yeah, Johnny was very thankful too that they moved stuff out of the annex or something. I think teachers moved all over and getting it covered. So because the annex is now open classrooms. Yeah, they're young. They can handle it and those file cabinets a lot better. That's old people. And I think I think some of them helped put away the older nasty pull pit too. It was wet and I think they all
098got wet push putting it up on the second floor. I've been doing that for 10 years. That is a nasty job. Anyway, glad to have the football players do it. Yeah. So, usually it's like me and my kids and a few people that I can scr up and help me. Um, that used to be me and my kids already calling kids, then take them to ice cream.
