001Call the reg board meeting order at 5:30. Yes. Max. Yes. Michelle Kelly here. Jamie Wilson here. John stand. To the flag of the United States of America and to the stands one nation God indivisible with liberty and justice for all I didn't catch you appreciate Great. Uh, first to address Tim Mariano reflection of the conversation in the budget hearing. Thank you. As I reflect on the conversation at the budget meetings, I had some thoughts that I would like to share. As union leaders, it is our role to advocate for GVEA membership and the decisions that affect their ability to do their job. It is not always easy and much like your role, sometimes differing opinions and hard decisions can cause division. Donna and I are never trying to be difficult or confrontational. We are doing
002what we are elected to do and advocate for our members. At the first budget meeting, Donna spoke alone because I didn't have the courage to speak up. She made some very difficult statements to hear and say, and she was defending our union leadership. In the week following that meeting, there were countless GVEA members that sought her out to say thank you and told her what a great job she did. Donna spoke as a GVEA president, not Donna Slawson, an individual or educator. Throughout this very tough budget year, the various fingerpointing, it's not me, it's them, has been confusing, leaving GVEA feeling targeted with the cuts and reductions. I cannot even imagine the conversations that have taken place to make these decisions and how difficult they must have all been. What I can imagine is a
003district in process of amending fences, moving forward, and continuing to focus on students, family, and community. I'm sure as board members you hear enough negativity about Jese Valley. Let me share with you some positive. We have great people. We have amazing kiddos. We have a district full of people, including the board of education, that bicker and argue because we have big hearts and a love of children. More often than not, our passion, our caring nature, and overall desire to always do what's best for our kids puts us at odds. The good in that is that we all have the same focus, the same goals, and we all want what is best for kids in this district. I speak for Donna and myself when I say we look forward to open communication and collaboration with administration
004and the board of education as we continue to move forward. Thank you for your time. Thank you very much. And it is a tough you guys and for us. I'm glad we're both on the same understanding and you know we try to do the best we can with the with the numbers and stuff and I know the union is all tried to save their membership and help everything can. So I think this board really is looking forward and has tried to plan to continue. Hopefully we can continue that. Thank you again. Moving on. Um, I need a motion to approve the minutes for 2000 for May 20th, 2025. Tim with the motion. Max with the second. Comments, questions, or concerns on that. I motion carried administrator reports. You guys should all have copying. Anybody have
005anything for us? Tough tough doing that one. Yeah, I put a lot of years working that one. And um I guess as I look through the the years from 2006 on through. Um I obviously just picked a small smattering of pictures that were that were there. Some of the things I was glad to have forgotten as I was looking through them. Others it brought a tear to my eye to go through them. There's a lot of involved in a lot of different things over the years, seven different positions in seven years. That was nice to not be doing that. So, um I do want to say thank you to Dr. Schmidt for coming in and saying, "What can you do for me?" And I said, "You can leave me in elementary and he did." And
006I've been there ever since and it's been great. That's very much appreciated because you actually learn the job. So, um you know, it's been a real blessing. Thank you for the time and the energy that that you put into this to into us and you know the school and have a little blue and gold still bleeding out of there from the Franklinville years but there's an awful lot of black and green and white bleeding out there too. So appreciate the the many years of fun. Well, thank you appreciate your service. been there since I need a uh on the financial reports I need or I want to do board committee reports to keep you in that. Yeah. So, I wanted to go back a little bit because I think that Jamie and I were a
007part of a budget personnel and negotiations meeting, but Buddy, I feel like you were in Syracuse. It was okay. But either way, I don't know if it was the timing or what, but I don't think that we reported out on something that um Mr. Edart had shared with us in one of those meetings and then I saw it on this agenda and thought to myself that that was something I wanted to make sure that you guys knew about. Um so one of the things that you're going to see tonight is the and forgive me it's related to aquatics but I forget how we have it worded on the agenda. Aquatics coordinator I believe and appoint aquatics coordinator position. Yeah. So, one of the things that um Brian had shared with us at that meeting was
008kind of his visions for some things that we could do to um enhance programs availability to community students um that would be at reasonable fees um and help maintain you know the pool and make sure that it's being utilized to the best um that it can be. So, in that he gave us some number figures. I don't quite remember those so I don't want to be quoted but what I recall is basically that you know his proposal is um that the stipen for him to do this the programs and different things that he would be bringing are going to more than cover that cost and can you is that fair to say? Sure. Okay. So, one of the things we're trying to do is we're trying to add in 15 weeks of swim lesson throughout
009five weeks in the summer, five weeks in the fall, five weeks in the spring around the swim seasons because really in the evenings pool's not being used at all swim till April is solid, but the rest of the time really not being utilized other than an open swim. So, for the summer so far, we have I believe I'm at 116 slots um signed up for snow lessons. Week four is still light. Um if week four fills up to the level that the other weeks are, it will fund itself for the summer. Um so that'll that'll fund um lifeguards and instructors to run the program 100%. Um, along with that, I was I was going to be doing um some pool cleaning and things like that that frankly are things that maintenance time is valuable and
010and needed and it's something that I could do while I'm in there setting up swim lessons or doing something like that that throw the pool vacuum in. I can be running the pool vac and things like that while I'm doing the other things and getting all those things ready. Um, and so I I threw some of that stuff in there, too. So, some of that will take a little pressure off some of our maintenance guys for having to do some of that. I love doing that kind of stuff. I've been doing pools my whole life. It's it's not work to me. It's enjoyment. So, um it was kind of a combination of those two things and um putting that together and trying to trying to actually fund the swimming programs here at the school along
011with some grants that recently that that may help with that as well. Yes. Sorry. Um yes. So because I had saw it, I wanted to make sure that I had said something about that because I forgot to discuss that and Jamie and I had supported that at the committee this fall. As far as athletic committee, we didn't we didn't have any next next month or next week. Yes. Not since we met a month ago. to approve the approved plan. Yes. Yeah. And that's the big thing is that plan is the plan. And then I was just kind of wondering, Brian, has there been any I know we're in the middle of the process for the exeicio student board member, but I don't know if you have an update to provide on that, Sarah Brian. I
012was just curious. Um the date is June 15th for letters of interest and so far I've received one. Um and this student be a senior next year. So I I will forward the um my recommendation to Brian and on to you after the 15th. Sounds good. Thank you. All right. We're really good on many reports. Let's go to the financial reports. Yeah. So we are just gearing up to close out the year. Um teacher supplies have been ordered. So, those will be coming in probably over the next week or so. Um, we are scheduled to be audited. We are going through our interim audit right now and our final audit will be the second week of July. So, everything will be wrapped up at that point. Um, you'll see a motion in your agenda for
013the um annual reserve transfers. Just a reminder, these are up to amounts. They are not the final amounts. I don't anticipate transferring that amount into them. That just covers us for auditing purposes. So yeah, thank you very much. All right. Um, I need a motion to approve the treasures reports. A motion. I'll second. Any motions? Michelle second.
