007um what was shared and participated in public comment uh so yes tomorrow is the second joint meeting I know the board has the proposals we've been asked to review the proposals as well as the RFP ahead of time before the meeting and then the two consultant firms that have put in proposals for the study will be presenting um it sounds like the format will be that they will each have a time like they'll present the boards will have a chance to ask questions to whoever is presenting and then the next group will I don't know if it's one representative from each consultant firm or multiple but then the second present a chance to ask questions um and then the boards will have a chance to discuss among themselves and also go into executive to discuss
008about entering into a contract with one of the to companies and come out and do a vat so um same location as last time we're going to try and have the setup modified a little bit so hopefully the boards can see each other a little better without having to you know look and see who is g to speak next um and if everyone can wear their orange and black again we'll do that does anybody have questions about tomorrow's meeting at all no okay um so moving on the next thing under my section is um for the board to approve Ana between the district and our school business administrator there's two components within that MOA the first has to do with compensation so as the board knows uh Rich will be retiring next year and one
009of the things um that's important is final average salary so this Mo MOA is looking at making a shift to compensation so that instead of having a 3% um put into a 403b like is part of the contract instead of that um there would be a 2% increase in salary Additionally the second piece is around health and dental insurance um and this would be an addition that uh if they're currently Rich uses insurance through his spouse but if something happened to his spouse and he needed to be able to access insurance this would say that the district would um provide Insurance a single plan only if need okay any board members have any questions or comments on that no if not can I get a motion to approve it I'll move it can I get
010a second a second all in favor I I opposed obain motion passes then lastly uh we have a proposed change to the calendar for this school year um as you know we usually take a look this time of year to decide on the official last student day for this school year uh our students are required to attend 180 days of school um we have snow days built into our calendar as you know this year we haven't used any snow days cold days emergency days um so we have excess student days Beyond 180 so I'm asking the board that we um make our official last day of school for students June 20th uh that is a Friday so students would have school through June 18th we have juneth off and then the official last day of
011school would be the 20th of June for students um element yes yes elementary students because our Junior Senior High students are in testing through region yes so their schedules are already modified so yes our last official day for elementary being June 20th this would mean that that um um last week in June through the 23rd through our last teacher day on the 27th we would utilize um for professional development as we have done year in years past for Elementary staff members uh one of the biggest benefits of that for the district is that teachers are able to um complete their end ofe activities plus professional development that we would typically have to pay people to come in to do over the summer we would be able to have them do that professional development while they're
012already in house and not having them to come in additional or pay people additional in the summer we can provide some of that also every school year um we seem to have some room moves as we uh reshuffle at the elementary so it provides time for classroom moves uh staff meetings grade level team meetings those type of end of year wrap-up activities um that we do with Elementary that it's just really valuable to have uh dedicated teacher time for those things any board members have any questions or comments on that not can I get a motion to approve it can I get a second a second all in favor I post obain motion passes that's the last thing in your list yes thank you move on to school business administrator reports the first item is
013uh budget update um so we did have our fourth budget update uh committee meeting prior to board tonight um you know as expect right as of this moment um you know we're expecting a 2% Foundation Aid increase from the governor's budget uh the legislature does is advocating um for the final budget approval to include an additional 1% or up to 1% um so that remains to be seen um and there are some other items in there that are somewhat significant uh such as JK funding increase per pupil it's a big one um increasing the Bose aid from 30,000 to 60,000 that was established back in 1990 to move this into the 21st century um other than that uh right now we're looking at a 3.91% budget to budget increase over last year um and that
014would be up for board approval on April 8th anybody have any questions or additional information that you want to hear no I do okay uh the second item that I have is the Wing County retired teachers Association um apparently has uh dissolved um and as part of doing that um they have made a donation uh to the Maran well to Wayne County schools in general um but to Maran um a check for $1,000 that is to be evenly split between the elementary library and the high school library um so that's a a nice uh gesture from County retired teers Association now we have to approve the acceptance of that yes so people can donate stuff and we can reject it or they can donate it and we can accept it I move that we accept
015it a second a second all in favor I opposed obain that motion passes so the next item uh at the last board meeting we approved a Seer 2 for the uh summer of 26 cap project which was some work being done at the elementary school however since that last meeting we've had a development um that arose that involves some work that's going to be needed at the high school uh involving some of the um exterior walls that are higher than lower roofs there's some water penetration and it's causing it to freeze and starting to KCK out the brick work and uh the mortar so that is something that at a minimum there's some pieces of that that we're going to need to address right away um and then there's other pieces that we might be
016able to hopefully delay until that next Capital HL project um so we need to resend the secer 2 from two weeks ago and then the next one would be to approve the new Seeker which would be at school questions so I have a question like why would we resend the open why would just leave it Seekers a determination of State Environmental Quality review so why wouldn't we just pass a new Seeker on this project which and have the two sit in concurrent and then you pick which project we we prioritize project uh well yes and no um you're corre you're correct on that respect that we could just approve both but for the budget notice and for the uh budget approval we have to specify what we're doing from the work in order for the
017S approval to get out and that budget notice will be going out later this week so we we have to pick one or the other I go you I I guess as the formality behind the the the actual project is what you're saying it makes sense to re this is what you're suggesting yes okay then I would move that anyone else have any questions or comments on these two items together because one drives the other can we get a second okay all in favor opposed abstain the motion passes can we get a motion to [Music] approve all in favor I I opposed abstain motion passes on to policy review any have any questions or comments on removing policy 1100 for the student board member since we now are required to have a student board member
018we no longer have to get approved by the community to do it second all in favor oppos abstain that motion passes you also have the second reading of the policies that are listed in the agenda any board members have any questions or comments on those policies if not can I get a motion to approve them I'll move it I'll second all in favor I opposed abstain that motion passes on the consent agenda items any board members have any questions or comments on the consent agenda items no not can I get a motion to approve them I'm can I get a second okay all in favor I opposed obain that motion passes I'm assuming there's still no one signed up for Community comments I pied a good meeting nope okay can I get a motion to
019go into EX exective session there for the specific purpose of a hearing of an appeal of a student suspension and discuss the work history of a particular employ move it and I guess I post stain that say any students who need their paperwork signed anyone here can sign your paperwork bring it up and it will be signed no now says board on it again look at that it was just for your child Mr manro is right there yeah bring over here I'll give you extra credit I can't do that that's not true
