And he's this >> and poor Wes can't tell from Mexico to Canada. >> So he'll do it be a semester and he'll do it. >> So I won't mumble and I'm not talking. >> Okay. You good?

002of talking. >> We can talk. That's usually something we don't struggle with. >> We're not sure about that. My mic on yet. >> Just want to be sure. >> I see you at the farm the other day. >> Not not this week. I missed it this week. >> No, I had >> I thought you guys brought me on for comic relief. This isn't like a serious >> Amy and I could both use it. >> Megan's comic relief. >> Oh, yeah. It's much needed. >> Yeah. So, I think I've missed out on all the strawberries at this point. Um, if you want to go berry picking up at Putney, let me know because I am set on doing this this year. I >> So, uh, >> the cherries are >> Hello. >> Forester Road. >> They're
003the ones that are, you know, >> organic. >> And you have to pick them yourself. I think they have a family to do a pie. >> Go shake the tree myself. >> Yeah, they just put their smiley sign up today. >> Amy, they're still staying with us for now. Put it on the calendar. >> Oh, >> that's what you and I talked about texting the other day. I would leave it there for a couple reasons. Potentially evaluation, but more importantly, maybe we'll have something to talk about. >> That was I've been there. I've been there before. It's a fascinating architectural city. >> Yeah, it really is. >> Give us a minute. Mike closer everybody to our school board meeting. Um, we will start with the pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of
004the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Um, I know Liz is at the Benzy Choir and Aubrey is sick. Um, >> interesting. >> And I'm assuming our Bella is our student rep is enjoying working. >> I My guess is every time I see her, she's working somewhere. So that's a yes. >> Yeah. Um, and so we have Brian, Megan, Wes, and myself. All right. Uh, consent agenda. Any questions, comments, concerns? Make a motion. >> Motion by Wes. >> Second by Megan. Um the one thing I just want to add maybe it's a the 25267.6 is >> which which Oh, go ahead. I'm sorry. >> A brief discussion on um board communications >> from the public. Just a
005quick one as to how we want emails to board members on the website to come through. So I we can add that and if your motion and second still stays with that. >> Absolutely. >> Great. All those in favor? >> I. Any opposed? Awesome. All right. Public participation. Yeah. And if you can just um say your name and we need the address. Is that right, Barb? >> And address that would be great. >> Oh, look. You get a mic. >> Okay. Uh my name is Erica Elliot. Um do you need address also? >> I guess so. Yeah. Thanks. >> Uh 2915 Forester Road, Frankfurt. Um so I just wanted to briefly touch base. Uh last month there was a family that came in and just um expressed some concerns. there was some technical difficulties so
006the things that they spoke on uh weren't captured. Um and so I I wanted to give some kudos to uh Mr. Tsley and uh Mr. Stapleton also. Um we were granted a uh parent meeting to kind of address the concerns that were brought to the board. Um and so in that meeting there were a few parents that came forward. um I was one of them and we were given the opportunity to um ask some questions um and then also we were presented some information that we have never been able to um I guess learn about the district is the best way I can put it. Um and I really wanted to just give kudos um to to both of them to share that information. Um, so we learned a lot about um, I want to
007say mental health awareness in the district um, and a lot of the different resources and tools that are used within the district um, and all the different avenues that are used because it's information that as a parent I would never know about. Um, and so we were given these flyers um, and I took a lot of notes and uh, hopefully you can still hear me. Um, so uh, and we also met with Carrie Gray. Forgot to mention her. She was a very valuable resource. Um, so we went through, sorry, I'm trying to hold this at the same time. Um, so we have all these different tiers. Um, and I'm sorry that you can't see this and I can pass it around too. Um, unless Mr. Ty wants to provide this. Yeah. >> Um, so we
008have all these different tiers. Um, we went through these um, also in the meeting and then um, we talked about BAM meetings and then the responsibilities. [Music] Thanks. um the responsibilities um of Deputy Maul >> um and then also >> sorry um and then also the responsibilities um that all the key people in the building have when there's bullying or social emotional things going on. So, um, you know, as we're coming to Carrie Gray or Matt, um, saying, "Hey, we have a problem with another student." There's all these steps that are taken that as a parent, we don't know about. And so, sometimes it takes a while to get a response. And so, I think sometimes as a parent, we're super frustrated because it can take a week or two weeks um to hear back
009on progress. And so it was um and it you know it can still be frustrating because we want we want a response. We want action quickly and I'm not going to say necessarily that um we don't still want that to happen but we had a better understanding of the wise. So um that meeting was really really helpful. Um and we're still we're still working towards a goal. Um I'm not going to say that there was necessarily fixes that day but there was a better understanding of things that are going on behind the scenes. So, just wanted to say thank you for that meeting. Um, and then I'm hopeful that um maybe for the district and for other parents that we could put something together um so that these resources and maybe some talking points would
010be put together for other parents to kind of learn those processes. I think it'd be really helpful to understand what goes on behind the scenes and why, you know, maybe talking with Deputy Maul about instances might take a while. Um and obviously there's privacy things that go on. So we can't share what goes on with students. Um we can't share, you know, why something that is very serious. We don't share names with people. We don't share things that go on at home. So um I I think a lot of people want to know the wise, the when's the hows, and it's not our business all the time. So um yeah, I just I think it'd be great if we could put something together for all parents. they don't necessarily have to participate, but just to
011have the availability to do that, I think would be amazing. So, just wanted to share that. >> Erica, thank you very much. I appreciate it. >> Thank you. >> Great. >> I guess there's no All right. >> No, we're good. >> You don't want to talk. You want All right. Superintendent report. >> Hi, everybody. Uh, it's been it's been in your packet. I'll just very quickly uh finance meeting. Uh we're spending a lot of time getting ready for 2526. Uh as a note, our school audit is taking place in this next couple weeks. So Barb's been back and forth and answering questions and I'll take some internal accounting up and so forth. Uh there's a legislative dinner on August 7th and then I'll be presenting as I do every year to the Frankfurt Rotary. just
012updates on the school district, where we're at, new staff hirings, uh kind of a state of the state of the district, and then the first day back for all staff will be August 26th. Uh we're working on completing our teaching roster for 2526. Uh we've been had a number of interviews. Um we will make hopefully uh there is a recommendation tonight that hopefully goes through. and the summer fall projects update just quickly and this is kind of Brian this might blend into your finance report as well because that's really what we talked about but parking lot and the track entrance are coming along fine uh the counseling office uh I was in there today it's it's really going to work out well carpet uh that project there's a good chance well there it will be
013delayed uh till December and because I believe we're going to go with the padded version non-padded I have one more meeting with the rep tomorrow or this week, but my guess is we will wait and we'll do it hopefully over the holiday break in December. The storage building site and bus parking, we're working on that. Uh it's kind it's still a work in progress. It's as we talked at the workshop. It's it's basically a go, but there's quite a few steps between now and seeing that building in place. High school entry hall project had a really good meeting last week. We met with uh the designers uh from the company in Travers. We also had uh parent input. So that should be good to go. And high school library furniture. That's one of my projects
014this week is to get his name is Bob Bent from a um company in Travers. He's going to come and measure up the library. Um that would not be a padded carpet if we choose to replace it. Um so we could have that in place before the new furniture comes in, >> but it would match the hallway carpet. >> That that's the direction we'll go. Yeah. because that that carpet's really nice and I think it'll just blend everything together. Um negotiations update, we're still in process. Uh support staff with the teacher support staff should start very soon this week I think. Um then we have an administrative group that we'll have to talk about. Uh building preparations, many thanks to our custodial crew. It it is a challenge. They do a wonderful job working around
015groups of people. That's the only time I really get excited about having our gym floors done is it's a it's a pause in the building for about four weeks because nobody can be in the gyms, but it is helpful for us. Um, and then True Law Notes. I I'm happy to answer any questions. There's a lot of legal court cases that, you know, sometimes apply back to school districts. Um, did anybody have any questions on any of the notes? I just needed can you remind us when they talk about the posting of the budget and financial information and all the other >> that's on our transparency report. >> Okay. So that's on our website. >> It's yeah I will double check and it always is but I will make sure once that's done. Uh Heather
016should upload it. I'm sure she did but I will double check. >> Okay. >> That's where everything is housed for our budget contracts. Everything's on that transparency site and that's a law u for all districts. >> Right. Right. And that's something that's Heather's responsibility. >> She takes care of that. >> Okay. Cool. >> That's what I thought. >> A question on the high school library. Thank you. >> Yeah. >> Uh will will you paint um and touch up before the carpet? >> Yeah. What? There's not a lot of wall space left, but anything we do decide to do, we'll make sure that's done before we lay the carpet down. >> Yeah. Okay. >> It needs a little bit of love. >> Uhhuh. >> Yeah. >> Yep. We have time to do that. >> It's a
017great point. >> I have a question. Uh sort of for Matt, but as they're not here, um I thought I'd just ask you. >> Sure. >> Um uh following up on some of the curriculum stuff from last last meeting, we had some parents speaking about middle school curriculum in particular and challenging kids, our kids being challenged. Um, and uh, I know Matt at the time said that that all the planning for, you know, enrichment, those sorts of things was in the works now. This is the time when that happens. How's that coming? Can we get some detailed updates on things that we might be changing to address those concerns? What's the best way to do that? >> I think, well, one, we have to make sure we have people to cover those classes, which I
018think we will, >> okay, >> to answer those specific ones. Um, he has he does have a a schedule together. He's worked with Patty and um worked with Amber just from the middle school aspect. So there are some ways he's put that together right now, especially in the middle school. I don't like to use the word leveling, but having opportunities for kids to have a little more challenging concepts. >> Great. So is there um can we hear about when's a good time to hear about the the plans? >> I can have him reach out, but we have to have everybody everybody, excuse me, everything in place at the August board meeting. We have to have our handbook done. We have to have our teacher rosters. Um, great. >> Uh, curriculum guides. >> Sure. Everything should
019will be done at that time. >> Yeah, it's got to be finished, right? Well, then maybe may I suggest or request please at that meeting then as part of all that can we say look to address these concerns which have come up a couple times over the years. Here's what we're going to try this year just so we understand what the plan is. >> That would be part of the that's part it's >> it's embedded in the schedule. >> No. Yeah, for sure. >> But that but that would be part of it. if you just if you just make a call out and say, "Listen, here's what we're going to try to do." I I've had got some questions from some other parents about this and so I can point people to that and say,
020you know, come come and listen if you want or whatever, just to sort of hear what the plan will be, okay, for the year. >> And I know Matt's been in conversation with a couple parents in the last couple weeks about this as well. >> Great. >> So, >> okay. So the August 26th uh teachers come back. Are we planning on doing anything as a board with that? We talked about strategic plan. >> Yeah, that's the point that we're going to get together with our admin team, but that would be where we'll roll that officially roll that strategic plan out. It probably be in the first session in the morning. >> Okay. >> And I'll get that to the board as soon as we get that finalized. >> Okay, sounds good. Any other questions >>
021for that? Teachers are back. We've got the It's There's the kickoff breakfast at 8 a.m. that day. >> Yeah, it's typically between 8 and 8:15. That would be on the 26th. >> Um I'm actually looking for an alternate spot potentially. Um just because it's if it's like this, it's a really warm place to start your day >> and we have some other activities, but I don't know if we can do that. Okay. >> But that's I'll let you know. But that's the opening breakfast. >> Okay. >> Yep. >> Do it out in the new parking lot. >> Yeah. There you go. That'll be cool. >> Gorgeous. >> You have a You'll have a big place that's not being used that early in the morning. >> Certainly not. >> We could come in early and scramble
022eggs on the grill >> cuz that's probably okay. >> And then prep for lunch. >> We'll all prep for lunch. I will get I will let everybody know since we have that finalized. >> Thanks. Great. Any other questions for Jeff? >> Great. Uh, finance committee Ryan, >> not too much to report from the finance committee this week. Um, we had our regular meeting. We spoke about the ongoing projects. A lot of this is duplicative of what Jeff just talked about. Projects seem to be going well. Critically for us, everything seems to be on budget at this stage, which is great, including the big parking lot work. No surprises there, which is nice. Um, I had a chance to walk around with Jeff a little after and look at some some of the other work, you
023know, the splitting of the classrooms into the counseling offices and and then the teacher lounge update and bathroom edition. It all looks really good. Actually, it seems like it's coming along well. Um, we spoke uh got some updates on the ongoing sets of negotiations that Jeff mentioned which are going on now and that's about it. Nothing very exciting. Um, I did want to update you guys while I'm talking. the long range planning committee. As Jeff mentioned, we have a to-do that we have we have to get on uh for the the followup to the um storage building >> and Jeff and I spoke about about this. Um if you recall, we approved like the preparation of the spot for it. The spot for it is still generally defined, but we need to be like specifically
024defined and then we need to go out and design a building or get bids for a building. So, there's still more work to be done. Um our our hope my hope is that in the at the next month's meeting we are like underway with this bid process but at least we can tell you look we've decided it's going to be like this. Here's kind of the colors we're thinking about. Here's the orientation and sort of tell you a picture of what what we have put out to bid so that when bids come back to be approved you we've you know we're all on the same page. Um so things are going on but that we haven't taken that next step yet. >> Um it's on our list of things to do. Is is there a
025space in the building for the bus drivers? >> Yes, that's part of the plan. >> You know, >> there's space in the building for a >> party in or whatever they want >> for a bus to be pulled in for light maintenance indoors, which is was a requirement from the the the maintenance team um so that they don't have to drive to Benzy all the time to like uh do some oil change, I don't know, something something that's, you know, in the winter. Uh, and then also there'll be a small rest area for the drivers so they can use a restroom and get a coffee and that's kind of the extent of it. A small space just for for that which apparently is a nice and useful thing. >> Very thoughtful. >> Yeah. Yeah. I
026think that's a thing that many other districts have that we don't really have. And um so yeah, that's part of the idea. So anyway, so there's still some work to do on the big reorganization of the grounds project, but the main thing is coming along great. I'm sure you've seen the parking lot progress over there. It's awesome. If you haven't been over there, check it out. Um, have you seen that over there? It's cool, right? You should swing by. It's going to be great. Uh, and the, uh, the new park is going to come like they're get getting ready to do the gravel removal and all the good stuff we talked about. So, everything's coming along well. >> Cool. Any other questions for finance committee? >> Awesome. All right. Technology report. >> Okay. Uh Britt
027and I have uh gotten all the Chromebooks cleaned. We still are missing probably 20 from families that we need to collect. Um but those have been cleaned. All the K1 iPads are ready to go. Um we're working on cleaning the TV sets that we got and managing some cords that go in the back to clean that up. We're also going to try out wireless headphones for everybody in K3. um kindergarten classes tried them and they worked okay, but the the cords plugging into the iPads were always breaking off or they weren't connecting. So, we're going to switch over to to wireless ones. And if kindergarten can use them, then I feel like first through third can do that, too. Uh we are scheduling an AI discussion. Um we have a high school rep, an elementary
028rep, and somebody from the ISD, Peter Mil is going to be attending along with Matt and Ann and Jeff. And you guys are invited as well if you want. Uh that is on Tuesday, August 5th from 9 to 11:00 a.m. That's Tuesday, August 5th, 9 to 11:00 a.m. Um we're going to start to hash out how we want to fine-tune our approach with the district and and the staff and the students. We've been talking about it now, having discussions for a while, but we need to take it to the next step. I think um we are installing Mo boards in the middle school classrooms cuz as you remember they had just gotten short throw projectors the year before so we held off for a year. So those will be installed. Uh title one here is
029getting a mo board installed. They have a cart currently and it's they'd rather have it installed on the wall. And then we're putting some brackets in for grades two and three so those mo boards can go up and down. Um they requested that. right now they're fixed to the wall and I my hypothesis of them being tall enough and the board being low enough in that situation wasn't true. So if I want them to improve interaction then I probably need to get those boards within reach of the kids. Uh and then lastly, we're having a mo board training for any new teachers we hire and the middle school teachers that are getting boards. Uh that is on Friday, August 22nd. I suppose you could come to that, but I don't know if you if you
030planned on getting a board in your home or something. >> That's all I have though. >> Any questions for Mike? >> Great. Well, thanks Mike. Appreciate it. All right. Uh, do we have principles? >> Zero reports. >> Okay. No principal reports. No high school rep report. Okay. Um, so the added item, board communications. So, this is just a followup. Right now, what happens is we have a form on our website for the board. If if somebody wants to communicate to the board, they fill that out. Um, I went and looked at how other districts do it. Um, Elk Rapids, TCAPS, Glen Lake, they have every board member has a school email address. and I talked to Mike and he can and that was just so that people weren't getting giving out their personal emails. Um,
031but Mike can help us figure out how to have it forward to your personal one so that the public facing one would go through the school's email and then directly to people. That's one option. Or the way we have it right now is similar to Leland. There is one email address and it goes to the president um and to the superintendent and then >> No, that's sorry that's not quite accurate. >> Oh, that's Oh, for ours it ours >> they check who they would like to contact. >> Okay. Right. >> And then they hit send on the form because they type in what they want. That comes to me and then I'm supposed to be sending it to whoever they checked off. >> They checked off. Okay. Yeah. So that puts Mike in kind of
032this middle position of like receiving it and then forwarding it. And so the question is oh so Leland they sorry Leland gets um one single email address um and I believe that goes to their president and um their superintendent. So the question for discussion is what's your preference? Do you want with the caveat being one of the things we were discussing is if it goes to various board members, there really should be one point of contact in communicating back to people so that they're not getting different messages from different board members. Um, and also that our admin team has an opportunity to give their background information on said topic. Um, so they're not fielding seven board members questions that may be redundant and using their time to answer. >> How much usage does this form
033get now? How many what is like the volume of requests? >> Probably like five in the last this last year. >> Yeah. >> Right. So, we're not talking about a lot of requests. I I haven't thought about it very deeply. I think it's I think it's a nice thing in a small community to let people feel like they can talk to the schoolboard members if they want to. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Um I hear from some parents on different things, but but there's people who have my number or know someone who can get my number or whatever. Um and I think if somebody wanted to get a hold of us, they should be able to do so with their representatives, >> you know, that would be my sort of not having thought about it and
034we're not being inundated. It's not like it was going to result in 40 emails a day or something, right? So >> I mean luckily, but there could be a time in which >> Yeah. And being a process person, I'm very cognizant of a single point of contact, a transparent stream that can be filtered out. Because you're right, if if people want to find somebody in this day and age of social media, they're going to they're going to find you if they want to reach out to you or if they even know everyone who's on the school board, right? Yeah, >> but if we're talking about a formalized process by which a community member can talk to the board, the superintendent, what you know, whatever it may be, I feel like that ought to be, you
035know, one avenue that gets to everybody that has a single point of contact for responding and that responsibility of responding, you know, in a timely manner is kind of key. >> Yeah. >> I I think from >> May I >> Yeah. I think from Mike's point of view, if he knew and the and the community knew that yes, they're there, but Mike would send that directly to you and you would be the as for Megan, you would be the point of contact to reach back out to that parent. In this formalized process, I if they call you, I >> I hope you would say, "Thank you. I'll refer you to superintendent." But in this formalized process, maybe it should just go directly to you and then you can disseminate the answer or talk check with
036me how you want to do it. I think if it goes shotgun approach, it's everybody gets kind of involved. >> Well, maybe we can do both things. If it's like we want to send a I want to send a message to the board and you have a form and that goes to like a centralized place, but then also I think there ought to be something that's like if you want to get in touch with a board member, here's how you do it. >> Yeah. >> Cuz I I agree this I'm not on social media. I don't know how easy or hard it is to find my phone number. hopefully relatively hard >> and really >> maybe not maybe that's >> it's surprising >> but but I think if somebody wants to be >> my opinion
037is if somebody wants they voted for us if they want to get in touch with us they have a right to talk to us >> for sure >> and so can I make one other suggestion I think whenever a board member gets in something formal I mean there's difference between standing at well hope the conversations don't take place at the ice cream store but would be if you receive something, I would think you would let the board president know. >> Sure. >> And then go from there. >> Sure. >> But I I think for Mike, it's tough because he's not sure what to do with it. >> That the current process doesn't seem like a good process where Mike has to kind of decide if he if someone ticks the box and then he doesn't
038send it, then he's because he didn't think it should be sent, then the person might feel like, "Oh, wait. I thought it was supposed to be sent." And >> like that's no good. >> It puts Mike in a tough spot. >> Yeah. That's no good. what I I respond when they send an email or fill out the form. I respond to them and say, "We've we've seen we've gotten your uh contact and forwarding on to the people they requested." If that's not true or I'm also sending it to Jeff and they didn't that's not part of the situation yet, I feel like I'm slipping one under the rug or something. I'm not doing exactly what I'm >> So I can put on the form this message will be sent to the board president and the
039superintendent >> or they're just maybe they just want the board president and then Amy can let me know. I don't care when it's nice for me to know but I don't want people to feel like they're not going to communicate with the board president because it goes through me. >> Okay. >> So what do you have a preference? >> Um I think we should all have and Mike said he could create this. Everybody will have a school email address. >> And all the ones that I've looked at, it's, you know, the picture of the board member and then it says here's their term and when it's up and then here's click here and it's the school email. And I'm assuming either they check their school email or it comes to their personal email. Um, but
040then when I was on the board downstate, I mean, the protocol was that the board president is your main point of contact for communicating out to whether that's a conversation with media or >> Sure. >> you know, so that we just have to use our good judgment and then have it copied to >> Yeah. I think there needs to be a point of contact where Yeah. >> Yeah. to to Mike's point, I think if there is a form where people send something to the school board or the school board and the superintendent, that to me feels like one step below coming and speaking at a meeting in terms of like formality, like someone went out of their way to like send a letter, right? >> So, we need to be really clear about what their
041expectation should be in terms of what we do with it, how what responses they get, you know, cuz it's like a >> I don't think people people don't seem to use it casually. It happened five times last year. So, it's like something's going on and it's like you get equivalent of someone coming to a meeting >> that we should be super clear in the form about what is what happens when you fill this out and what you can expect. >> Yeah, >> just to be fair to everybody. >> I think we can figure that out. >> Okay, that sounds good. Cool. Um, which I know this is which reminds me because I forgot to say it during call to the public that we did receive, hence this uh conversation, we did receive a communication and
042um and the communication was do school board members have emails that we can contact them with or is this the only way to message the board? I have concerns with our football coaches and their conduct. I've contacted Joe, Matt, and Jeff with uh with little response, and I I see you will be approving fall coaches tonight, so I might be too late. That was the communication um from Rose Johnson and because it has to do with obviously I am not the person that should contact Rose. So, um, Jeff reached out to Liz as the vice president to make sure that, um, and to Rose to see if he could give Liz Rose's number and that Liz would talk to her. So, that's where that communication stands at this point. >> Okay. Does that impact our
043>> I don't believe so. >> Pending, but Okay. >> No. >> Yeah. Jeff had a conversation with her. No. >> Okay. >> All right. Moving on. Uh recommendation for middle high school teacher hire. >> Yes. So far, one one down, two to go. I'm really happy to recommend uh Kelly Acre Piersma to the board. uh due to retirement of a teacher um she I've asked her to join us and she's gone through the interview process and put a committee together. Matt has made reference calls which all came back very positive. Um the recommendation is to uh put her at step seven. Um wherever our new contract lands it would be step seven. Um so it's the recommendation. Oh, excuse me. And there are things there's information that follows. Um, as I said, all of the
044reference checks were great. Uh, worked very well. She's had lots of different experiences. Um, from and the thing that was really appealing to us is she has multiple certifications that really help us with some flexibility when we do scheduling. So with that said, it's the recommendation of the superintendent and Frankfurt Middle High School principal Matt Stapleton to hire Kelly Acre Piersma as a full-time middle school middle high school teacher beginning with the 25 26th school year pending. All background checks are approved. >> So moved. >> Second. >> Any discussion? Uh do you need a roll call for >> Can I back up? You went too fast. Barb probably beat me to it. Um, >> onegan. Thank you, Megan. >> Okay. Thank you. >> We don't typically, Barb, do we? I don't believe so. >> Okay.

Next, approval of fall coaching assignments >> which I will abstain from which means we don't have a quorum. >> Okay. >> So that will have to wait. >> Okay. So let's go to the next conversation. Our next conversation with that said is before we I'm going to jump over before we go back to the last public participation is that leaves me even more reason that we need a special schoolboard meeting on Monday August 4th or before uh Monday August 4th I think would work because we may have some more teacher recommendations at that time or today is only July 14th. We may need to special to do a special schoolboard meeting sooner than later. I don't know if I
046would do it next week, but you may want to do it for the following if possible. Long as we can get a quorum. >> Yeah. Uh, in looking at your calendars, I had us down for the 21st for a special one. >> And then I talked to Amy, we're going to move that out a little bit further only because we looked at that as my evaluation, which is absolutely fine. Or the flip side, we could do a combination. Give us some more time to try to find some teachers to hire and take care of our fall coaches because I'd like to take care of our fall coaches before August before August 11th because I think I think I believe that's the first day of fall sports, I think. >> Do you How do you not
047to put you on the spot, how do you feel about doing July 28th? >> Absolutely fine. And we could do performance review and the special. >> Yeah, we can do we can start with the special board meeting and see what we need to come up with and then we could move into the evaluation process. >> Okay. Do we want to do a 5:00 p.m. start? >> That's up to you. I'm fine with that. >> No, 6 p.m. No, not the 28th. >> It's the audition day for Opera, so sometimes I go all day >> because I'm I'm fine with sick, Amy. Whatever. That's fine. or even later. >> But the 28th is like >> not a good day. >> Doesn't have to be the 28th. Tuesday. >> Tuesday. Totally doable. >> Okay. >> Tuesday the
048what? >> 29th. How does that look for you, Brian? >> Yeah, sure. Should be okay. >> What time do you want to do? 5:00 or later? >> I'm open. Let's let's just tenatively put in five to seven. >> So this is in lie of the one that was originally on the 21st. >> Yeah. >> And now in lie of the one on August 4th that I put on the agenda. >> Okay. Fantastic. >> Well, I'm going to hold August 4th. I sent out a meeting notice. I'm going to hold that in the event that we have to approve contract. >> Yeah. It is the season. It's the way it is this summer. >> Yeah. So, what I'm understanding is we'll have a special board meeting on July 29th from 5 to 7:00 p.m. and then
049we'll hold the date August 4th >> for now. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> More fun to cancel than to try to squeeze another one in. >> Good point. >> Agreed. >> Good point. >> Okay.
