018So it says business administrator andor board secretary. Is it just like uh technically kind of go back and forth on that? And or board secretary. So in this case it would be business administrator. Okay, that was good. Ryan question number 36. I'm hoping this is the last year we have to do that since there's been something trending to try to to stop that. We've been well ahead of the curve on notification of board meetings by doing rooc calls for years now sending stuff to the newspapers. So hopefully this is the last time you saw that bill. Mr. Go. I have no questions. I just have one more question. The Red Cross number 30 um 32. Um but for the the Red Cross, is that for students or is that just for teachers to get certified?
019No. What number is it? It's Red Cross training. Cross training is Sorry, I said 32. It's um I did see it. I think that's for um Yeah, I think it's for I thought it didn't fall under CLE. We we trained them already. Yeah. Thank you. Oh, you know what? Patty probably Lincoln did put it in because when I think it only comes under the renewal. Um when we do purchase the cards for the kids to get that to get the cards, we do have to have an agreement with the the Red Cross. So when the kids go through the training, we purchase their actual like license card for them. Um so I believe that that is what that is for. Thank you. And the reason why this agenda is so long, if you look at
020everything, is the majority of them are renewals that we have to do every July one. So everyone, Mike and I don't like reading 50 something items each, but it's only this month hopefully. Just quick question on number 13. That's a gentleman that's going to be on the sidelines and everything. Mr. Gentleman. Okay, that's it. Thank you. Roll calls, M. Kelly. Yes, Mr. Mask. Yes. However, recuse myself on 35 E. Yes. Thank you. Mr. Ku. Yes. Mr. Cook. Yes. Mr. Hoff. Yes. Mr. R. Yes. School business administrator board secretary addendum. Superintendent schools recommends positive action on the following items. Uh BS1 approved submission and acceptance of the building responsive construct data guided eval bridge grant. DS2 approval of proposal for professional services for the new pickle hole courts at Kingsburg High School. And DS3 approval of
021the contract for food service line improvements at Kingsburg High School. Please get a motion. a second quote on the um the extra second quote. Yeah, it's over the quote threshold, but it's not in the Yeah, there are I'll make the motion. Yeah. Did you want to second it? I'll make a motion. He'll second. Kent's motion. I'll second. Any questions? I just had a question on the bowl court, which I know is a growing growing trend. Uh where would it be located? The old tennis court. So, what this is for is that um the cost for to do we had initially wanted I think the quote the initial quote was for five courts or something and the amount that we got in the grant is nowhere close to covering what that would cost. So, we need
022a new whole plan for um a lesser court, but it still I think what was the minimum? They said they needed three courts to like be part of you need three courts. So, we were going for three courts now. So, we had to downsize a little, but still I was just that's my question is is this coming from taxpayer dollars? Is this the we already have a pickle ball? That's localation grant. That's local oration grant. The town's putting in pickle ball courts now. Yes, we're going to be the pickle ball court at the capital. This is paid for through a grant. Recreation. So, since through a grant, we don't care. So, then why didn't we tell the town? Maybe they wouldn't. Maybe they're We had no idea the town was dealing at the time. She
023didn't know. Only we had the same attorneys. Okay. Any other questions? I put questions. Thank you. Thank you. really quick though just um this is good stuff like all all of these things here are like three that's why we put them on addendum because we need to have addendum items but these three are things we're very excited about so just to the um when the BS3 I don't know how long it's been since anyone's been in the Kingsburg High School um cafeteria but it's been pretty much the same since like 1970 this is like a complete overhaul of the entire Kingsburg high school cafeteria and it's going to be like so much more serviceable there's there's a coffee bar. Like it's so much more up todate and that's like a huge one we're very excited
024about. So Mr. Dawson is going to be rolling over and then I just have a quick question. Uh we had talked about the pickle courts. They may not be accessible to the public because of insurance reasons. All right. Thank you. Miss Calahar. Yes. Mr. Macowski. Yes. Mr. Kitchen. Yes. Mr. Cook. Yes. Mr. Hoff. Yes. Mr. Ryan. Yeah. All right. We'll now open the meeting for public comments and questions relating to additional concerns. State your name. First, I'd like to apologize. Can you hear me? No. I apologize for my voice. Um, just happened to get as soon as I decided to retire. So, I promise it's only like three and a half minutes. So, bear with me. What was your name? Justine in. It's hard to believe that it was almost 26 years ago that my
025name was first mentioned at a meeting just like this. Back in the summer of 1999, I was looking for a change. And to be completely honest, as a pregnant woman, I was looking for a teaching position closer to home. The Kingsburg School District gave me that opportunity. And tonight, I stand to sincerely thank you for that. Not just job, sorry, but for the journey that followed. Though I have never officially lived in Kingsburg, I have always been here. As a child, every summer weekend was spent with my grandparents at their bungalow on Oak Street. I can still remember walking down Car Avenue with them after Sunday's supper, heading for just one ride at the boardwalk and an ice cream cone. As a teenager, I was friends with the family from town. Janice Joyce Palmer and
026I were the same age, and when hanging out with them, I often found myself surrounded by the kids from Kingsburg High School. So when I saw the Keesburg ad for a special education teacher in the newspaper, do we remember those ads in the newspaper? The wine ads in the Sunday paper. It felt natural like life had been quietly guiding me here all along. Lucky for me, I got the job. I can still picture that first time walking into the front office of the high school. I can still see the wooden gate that separated the main office from the administrative area. and meeting the administrative assistants Phil Schultz and Kirk Greco for the first time. Both so very professional yet so warm and welcoming. That was the moment my Kingsburg career truly began. And I couldn't
027have imagined how meaningful it would all become. To the board of education, past and present, thank you for your dedication to this district, to the students, the staff, and the community. Your work is often behind the scenes and often unappreciated, but please know it matters. It has mattered to me. Over the years, there were decisions various boards have made that I wholly supported. A few I didn't fully understand, and yes, at least one made two different times that I will always disagree with. But what I know for sure is that every decision made was with the hope of doing what was best for the students of this community. And I respect that deeply. Over the years, I've been truly lucky to work alongside so many incredible people, too many to name really. But there are
028some who are no longer with us, whose influence, mentorship, and friendship helped shape me into the educator and person I am today. I would like to take a moment to remember them. Pat Antonucci, Dave Billings, Karen Bruno, Burgess, Ray Coleman, Janette Grogan, Frank Cool, Dgo Canol, and Sue Pepperstein. They remain in my heart, as do all of you who have been part of my Kingsburg story. It has truly been an honor and a privilege to be part of this school's district's family. Though I may be retiring from my position, Kingsburg will always be a part of me. Thank you from the bottom. Sorry. Thank you. All right. Anybody else? Seeing that there's no one else, uh, we move old and new communications from the board member, we'll start on this side. Mr. Cook, thank you,
029Mr. President. First of all, thank you very much for that very warm and welcoming speech. It is truly nice to hear that Kingsburg has impacted you as I'm sure you have impacted it. So, thank you for those that very very lovely message and and please enjoy your retirement. Um, on another point, I'd like to uh definitely congratulate all of the seniors, all the graduates, the clapouts, uh the administrators, the principles, the teachers, every facility member here in Kingsburg. It was truly a monumentous year. Uh really great work on all of you. I mean, I I had the privilege and I know a lot of our other board members got to come out and it was fantastic. Um, even with the doom and gloom weather that we were supposed to get. Um, another point uh I
030just want to also add is uh Mr. Bennett, you've been here for quite a couple of years and it's nice to see that you're sticking around and uh I know your impact to school district is unmatched. So, thank you. Thank you. And uh that was all. Have a safe and happy summer. Thank you. Okay, miss. Well, your tears are my tears. Okay. and you've been the light of our district through the years and generation, the love that you've given to our community in our kids. You were part of Kingsburg and you'll always be there, okay? And you're someone that we'll never forget and we appreciate and you're always in our kids' hearts because they speak so highly of you as well as our staff. So, I'd like to say thank you. Don't forget us. Come
031back. You'll be a substitute. But again, your years of service are greatly appreciated. Thank you. And on a different note, I'd like to say, you know what? We had a great school year, okay? And through trials and tribulations, right? We made it. We did a great job. The graduations were phenomenal. Okay? The turnouts, the families, the speeches, the kids, everyone had a good time. Okay? I've never seen so much excitement. I mean, the kids did it right. We had a lot of success stories and you know we had a great great great great great barbecue. I've never seen such a thing. When I saw that video I'm like wow where were those activities when we were in school right? They probably didn't have but you know your wish. So I mean we're becoming creative. We're
032engaging kids. And you know what? Each year we're getting better at what we do. And that's a testament to our superintendent, our administration, our educators, our security, our maintenance. I mean, our kitchen help. I don't know if I forgot anybody else. And if I do, I apologize. But it does take a team to do all that everyone does. And thank you so much. We all appreciate it. Mr. Cook Mr. Kitchen. Mr. Kitchen. I just want to say thank you. Congratulations, Mrs. made me sad to hear you bring up so many names like Mr. Billings, Mr. Cool, you know, thank you for all you did for Kingsburg students, friends of mine, you know, everybody always felt comfortable going to you. Congratulations on your retirement. Thank you for coming here. Thank you for your kind words. Congratulations
033to all our recent graduates. Thank you. That's it. Well, you brought me back to my childhood. Um, lot I want to congratulate you on your retirement and it's probably much needed. Again, like everyone else said, you should come back if you feel the need to substitute. Um, I'll be around. And to the graduates, I want to congratulate everyone both from Boulder and the high school. Unfortunately, I was not able to make the high school graduation. Uh, but I did make Buler and it was nice to see, you know, the the kids and their listen to their speeches and I hope to have a better year next year um like we did this year. Just shortly, Miss Thank you for coming back and and speaking to us. I really appreciate you coming to the meeting. It's
034been I think it's been 10 years since we first met on the the football field at one of the events. You brought me down by saying, "Who are you?" So, So, I had to introduce myself to you. Um, but thank you for all that you've done. I I didn't have the pleasure of going to school here, but I've been around for for quite some time. Um, but it is great to see the impact that you had on our kids. Talking about coming back and seeing our kids, not just here. I hope you have the experience of going to the amusement park during the summer, seeing the kids that work at the high school's eyes light up when they see you outside the classroom and realize um that you're not just a teacher, but here in
035person, and that, you know, the impact that you made on them, they'll remember you as they go through life. Um, I also want to thank all the retirees, the teachers, everybody that's here for all their years of service. Um, again, making a great impact on their children. Just the graduations are great. Um, as M. Brand mentioned, you know, senior class barbecue. Um, I think I can call her out, but Mrs. Leak did an amazing job as a senior adviser this year. That barbecue was put on a lot by what she did with being able to raise funds with those with those seniors and students at a lot, but then all the planning that went into getting all those rides, making sure that she had the event. Um, as Mr. mentioned, I think they had some
036of the same problems with will we won't we with the weather that you know the weather's not going to cooperate is going to cooperate. So, um to have all those events was amazing. Um and just you know the graduations were were really great. I like seeing all the the students come up. The speeches were amazing. Um and just everybody will enjoy some I I have a question though. I raised this once before and I I um on these absences that when people are out we keep the running tally if they're on leave do we put down leave no it it it's cumulative so it would so like these people that are 25 27 28 sick they're usually on a medical or right I had once suggested maybe we put lead down so that we know
037that the board's active on it and then you don't have wonder um you know because they're if they're sick that's the only thing that because it looks like well they're really sickly but if they're really on leave then that's has nothing to do with them. Yeah, that's all there uh I just want to introduce I'm not sure if anyone um knows Frank Sner who is standing here. We just approved him tonight to be a math teacher um at the high school. And Frank is one of our um 360s. He just graduated actually with my son Shane. So uh he's a recent Kingsburg graduate and he's coming back to teach. Thank you everyone for congratulations. And Justine, thank you for everything. And you guys, she got an ice cream truck for all the staff the last
038day. Like she, you know, goes above and beyond not just for students, but for staff and for everybody. And you'll be so missed. So I don't want to get emotional because again you and I first met when I was a substitute here and our conversations of how you know again with my background and your background how kids we can meet in the middle but uh and then you mentioned some names from my past as well. Mrs. Ryan um there are some of the teachers that believed in me when I didn't believe in myself. So thank you for everything you've done for us again. Uh we know some people if you ever want to come back and sell. Okay. Um the butterfield and the award ceremonies, all the team that put the butterfield together when you
039came through that door. I it did look like a school for a couple hours and the kids did had an amazing time. I believe we had bubble coos for dinner which was pretty amazing. Uh so the whoever is in charge of that, the whole team gets an A+ for the day. Uh the clap out was amazing. For the first one, I was actually outside and then um Mr. Cook is like, "Well, I'm excited." It was both we're both both being amazing being being with their parents outside, seeing their kids, seeing their faces, smiling with the kid with the recognition that hey, mommy and daddy are here was amazing. To all the teachers that retired, you was a young lady who retired from the school that she clapped at. We clocked her out. That's pretty special.
040Miss the graduations were amazing. I think the maintenance staff did a great job. The last call that we had to move it inside, it was a coin toss, but um for the first time ever, they said it was going to rain at 5:00 and it did. I think it actually did. So, congratulations on the students who and the teachers who showed up and the parents. It was a truly amazing night sitting up there with my board of education members. And again, it just to me brings back memory because I I got to sit in the front row and then when I was young, I I pictured myself coming down at, you know, 18 years old. you know, reminiscing all day long. Um, the poet's lamp was truly amazing right here in the library, too. You
041get the lights. Uh, these kids, they're raw emotions. It's something that, you know, you you have to bring tissues. If you never saw one, I say when you come next year, bring tissues because some of them just put it out there all in that one little 45 seconds to a minute that they have. So, we're done with uh 24 25 school year. So, we don't look backwards. We're going to look forward to the 25 26 school year and again we have an amazing team that makes me look good when I sit here. So I look to finish out the year on an amazing team. So everybody enjoyed their summer whatever your plans are and you sign. Thank you. Uh with that being said, I'll take a motion to um adjourn. I'll make that motion again.
