003as well tomorrow night and then um have one on Wednesday but uh really everything has been very positive one thing I do want you to know there's some confusion out there coming from somewhere I'm not sure but um in regards to raises uh for the administration um I'm not sure what the confusion is but uh as Dr Seager reported whenever we put this on the ballot we said that it was going to be a $2,750 raise across the board for every employee um and that's what our intention is so I'm not sure exactly why people are asking about administrators getting more than the 2750 but that is false information and so I wanted to pass that along um any questions in regarding in regards to the uh Proposition C informational meetings Okay a couple other
004things that we have going on we do have a ribbon cutting uh for the health services Wing at tillard at 10:30 on 85 I know all of you received an invitation but I just wanted to put that information out there again it would be nice if you could come to that it will be um it will be a nice event and then also at 10:30 on August the 20th we'll have a ribbon cutting for the uh 22,000 foot expansion um that will obviously be a little bit bigger deal and uh so there's been a lot of uh hours and hard work uh that has went into that it's going to be a great thing for the community so I would just extend that invitation to you guys the last thing I have this evening I
005just kind of wanted to talk about some Community updates um that we have put forth regarding the bond issue and book challenges uh we have put some information on the website um you can you can click on the website uh go to a transparency page and then they will pop up and it lists all the books that have been challenged and uh what the uh status of those books are obviously we have our first um book challenge coming to the board of education on August 12th which is a scheduled uh special board meeting and then uh in regards to the bond issue I am meeting with the communications team tomorrow uh we're going to go out we're going to start taking a lot of pictures uh putting those pictures on the website putting them on
006Facebook putting them on Twitter uh to make sure that we're getting the good things out there um as you'll see in the agenda uh we will be approving the expansion at hosia tonight so there will be a lot of information uh that will come out of that you know from day one till till it's finished uh we'll try to stay on top of that provide you guys with that information and also provide the community with that so at this time I would entertain any questions you guys might have for me in regards to any of that stuff in regarding in regards to the book challenges were we able to get copies of the books or no uh yes we have um I guess I'll let Dr mcginness answer this yes yes we had if you
007just let me know since like I know all of you need The Bluest Eyes to read that and be informed for that vote so if you need that book please just let me know and we'll kind of share that they should have copies at all three high schools so I I don't need the bull side but there are a couple others that I need it so so if you just send those to me yep just let me know and then I can get those the only thing is we have to have those back on the shelves for the first day of school will we also so I don't I don't know that we got an attendance report we didn't get one this month and I don't know that we got one last month for May
008oh those were typically in this section of been June yeah so if we could just yeah I'll get that I think the other thing I uh that we had asked about um were the results of the 6878 um survey we we're going to information at the August uh work session but we do have all of that information compiled and ready to go for you and I'll send it out to you before then is there anything else no thank you thank you Dr Edgar Personnel reports Dr cruss yes thank you I left the supplemental report at your workstations um as you'll be able to see see the uh thankfully the reports are getting shorter every month that's a good thing uh we're making great progress at getting all of our spots filled we still have a
009little work to do um I don't believe there's anything unusual in either of the reports did any if no one has any U questions or concerns I would ask that you approve the personel and supplemental Personnel report as presented you know one one point that I would like to bring up in regards to that I think it's um it's necessary for you guys to know that that without the retirees stepping up to the plate for us we would be in trouble and so uh we make it intentional to make sure that we thank them for their service but as you can see there's a couple of retirees on here so if you know them personally please say thank you because if they wouldn't do that we would be hurting a little worse sure thank you
010is there a motion to approve the personel report thank you is there a second a second okay when you're ready if you can call the vot please Miss Williams yes Miss Garcia yes Miss Miller yes Miss Chesney yes Mr Garing yes M Lanning and Mr Moore yes and the motion passes 6 to Zer with an exstension action items children's trust and renewal so yes this is just a renewal for our parents as teachers to be able to participate in the children's trust fund um it is a way that we are able to get referrals and then um money so this is just our third renewal so if you guys would please approve that we appreciate it I have a motion is there a second yes I have a motion a second are there any questions
011if there are none would you call the vote Please Mr Moore yes Miss Lanning yes Mr ging yes Miss chzn yes Miss Miller yes Miss Garcia Miss Williams yes and the motion passes thank you 70 thank you before and after school childcare benefit uh yes thanks um in uh effort to uh look at more benefits for staff and try to Aid in recruiting and retention uh one of the things that we've explored and I want to give d a lot of credit she's done a lot of the leg work on this um talked a lot to Tammy Kellen from the Y where we already have before and after care at multiple sites um we were able to negotiate with the Y uh for them to give us 50 free slots for employees uh children to
012be able to do that and then uh We've negotiated with them that any above 50 that we would pay a fee of $40 a week and so um we're able to really fund this right now we're we're pretty healthy in healthc care trust I think this is a good benefit to add for our staff um if we put out uh surveys to see approximately how many children we'd have interested or families we'd have interested and it was 66 uh students that uh staff indicated that they would want before and after care so uh that' be 16 slots even with 20 slots our cost for the year would be U just a little bit over $28,000 and so uh we're asking tonight uh make a recommendation that you approve this uh additional mou with the Y
013so we'd be offering um free before and after child care for all of our staff what's the process for um like how so the the survey for this went out after school was out right yep yes so that would that would be my only um kind of hesitation is that one because it went out later and then also two because we had two or three schools change their starting end times all right um I don't know that everyone that 67 is a good indicator of like that's how many people would want or need it um even if we're double that we we can we could handle that right now I was going to propose that we just match the 50 um the healthcare so we're saying that we would go to whatever number it is
014okay so I I gu I'll I'll make a motion just that we go that we match the 50 I think that' put us at 72,000 and the healthcare trust can withstand that right yeah yeah absolutely between uh what we're doing with childcare reimbursement this year and the cost of this um our investments have made that in the healthcare trust this year so we are we're in good shape to do that that's my motion okay I have a motion is there a second second here here's one question I would that here's my only concern with that if we have 51 how we decide who the to you that the question that I was going to ask is I mean do we have to put a limitation on it I know we have to vote on a
015certain amount but could we say you know anyone that comes I'm asking for they not to be a limitation oh is that what your action item is yeah I will that seems yeah my my re recommendation is we will cover whatever Beyond 50 okay so are we voting on something different right now I read back then I'm not so I'm not going to change my motion just because I don't know how fiscally we would budget for that how would we fiscally Bud like what if 500 people come in I mean they they have a Max Capacity I I understand that I just don't know how employes children it's yes it's only employees children yes how many employees do we have um 1674 well I I'll pull back if you want to put 50 as a
016limit audit and then if we need to expand that we'll come back to you and ask for that that's what I would just think would be a little bit more fiscally responsible but also I mean how you guys determine who's eligible and who's enrolled is is kind of up to you I me I would just recommended by doing it by the time that they they express interest or email whatever your process is but but that's that's up to you I just I just worry about the money Robert what has happened we're switched rules here no that's my motion 50 that's fine and if we have to come back and ask for more we will okay I have a motion and I have a second so I have a question is this motion different from um
017action item B could you repeat the motion please the motion I have is the one that Robert put on which is motion to approve the recommendation to pay for before and after child care benefits for employees at SJSD sites for theou with YMCA what was your like to change that my Mo well my motion was that we match the 50 slots that the YMCA is already provided for free motion to match YMCA amount the number I mean if you guys see I me we'll have several meetings between now I mean that's because that's also going to be part of the issue is that they're on summer break I don't it's going to be difficult people to know you want 100 no 50 is fine if if we go over that we'll we'll come back and
018ask yes please come back and I have a question too when you were working with the Y for the theu um did was there discussion about um them being able to provide people to provide the slotsy feels like she can handle the slots that we would have yeah have I have a motion and I have a second are there any additional questions okay you can call the vote please Miss Williams yes Miss Garcia yes Miss Miller yes Miss chesne yes Mr Garing yes Miss Lanning yes Mr Mo yes and the motion passes 70 thank you Dr SE did we only act on the one then or was that a combo it was combo it was combo okay I think the only thing that we amended was matching good josia Elementary Edition uh yes Dr edre
019referenced this a little bit earlier uh cre Clark and seford is running this for us um they're doing an outstanding job of keeping projects rolling U so if you see any of them thank them they're doing a wonderful job um they open bids last week uh we had seven different companies that bid it was very competitive bid uh herner construction came in with a low bid at 1,455 th000 and it's our recommendation that you accept that bit from them I make a motion I'll second it I have a motion in a second are there any additional questions I have a question I mean is there just a way look I I don't know construction companies from anybody but sometimes I I worry just taking the lowest one like do we have we worked with them
020before her's excellent well herner's actually doing the Hillard Edition right now and okay yeah that's gone well okay yeah and they're local and they're local yeah a lot of these on here yeah we we had six local local B but I think that's a good point it's like are we taking the quanti we in this instance I would have no concern with quality from her okay yeah because we know them yeah right there are no additional questions call the vote Please Mr Moore yes Miss Lanning yes Mr Garing yes Miss Chesney yes Miss Miller yes Miss Garcia yes Miss Williams yes and the motion passes 70 okay on to Dr Krauss all right in your packet of information you had a job description for Medicaid clerk uh this would be um sort of a new
021position during the 23 24 school year we had somebody who worked part-time um with Medicaid billing and we have found that uh the job needs um easily has enough to do for a full-time person uh what they will do will be Medicaid reimbursements for various services that we provide some of its Transportation some of its therapies um and we we believe this uh person will easily make their salary probably five to 10 times over in what we're able to recoup in terms of Medicaid billing um up to this time we've probably been leaving some money on the table and so having a full-time person dedicated to this position should help us to maximize our reimbursement potential any questions from anybody Dr vision is a full-time position correct and uh how many days right I can't
022remember is it nine months type of thing uh it's it's set up at this point uh we we don't have a person for this position yet we would uh entertained either 10 216 which is a 10 and a half to 11 month or a fulltime 260 okay depending on the person thank you what would fall under AIC reur that we do uh transportation services that we provide for special needs Services um occupational therapy Physical Therapy speech therapy those types of things there are additional questions is there a motion I make a motion thank you is there a second thank you Kim call it please Miss Williams yes Miss Garcia yes Miss Miller yes M Chesney yes Mr Garing yes M Lanning yes Mr Moore yes and the motion passes 70 okay Dr cross all right
023so the next one since you have approved the uh position it would be placed on the support staff salary schedule under range five uh you'll see it in red there on your on the little Legend at the bottom uh we believe the duties of this position are commensurate with those of uh that were already paying on Range Five so we believe that's the appropriate placement for it in terms of compensation all right there no questions is there a motion for approval thank you Kim is there a second again oh second um just to clarify they're going to start everyone starts at step one it would depend on their prior job experience if they have same or similar experience they could potentially start higher oh if their experience matches the job or um where would they
024be then what step would they start there um if they had five years of experience we would start them on step six if they had three years of experience we'd start them on step four or it would just depend okay right thank you okay I have a motion a second M Williams yes M Garcia yes M Miller yes M chne yes Mr Garing yes M Lanning yes Mr Mo yes and the motion passes 70 okay future meetings and events July 26 the district is closed uh July 29th is the board retreat uh beginning at 8:30 August 5th there is a special Board of Education meeting at 5:30 August 12th there is a special Board of Education meeting at 4:30 and a board work session at 530 August 19th is convocation August 21st is the first
