Any unfinished business this morning? Any new business? I'd like to bring up something. We have policies that are on the books. I don't say I don't want to say I've read every one of them, but there's a bunch of them that I just was asking Joanne just the other day about. One has to do with the high school and the the terms and all this other stuff. And then the other one
008was attendance for us as board members. But there's a whole bunch. I'm sure there's policies. We haven't gone over policies in a long time. I don't want to say we have to go over every single one, but at least what the 9,000 showing is is is anything related to the board. I think we need to go over one maybe a month maybe and this way we could talk about it and if we need to change it. Joanne was saying that one of them might not be legal and I don't want us to get caught in a gray area again. I just want to make one one suggestion. If we're going to talk about a policy that may be legal or illegal, I think that's something that should be brought up exactly. Absolutely. not on public
009um because that maybe one of our policies might not be I'm just making a general statement. That's fine. So I think we should talk about that in the next and also if you want to pull if you could tell us what policies that you're Joanne that you want to look at as Steve might have brought up to you and we could do that at the exact session. Um at the fine I mean we don't have to do them every Well, we've been trying to go through policy audit. What year was that? We did a big policy order and I'm sure everyone has recognized the fact that the state is mandating a lot more things and that's causing a lot of policy changes by law and those are the ones that have been keeping us very
010very busy. The one we just approved is required by law for the cell phone. So that I think that's been our focus as all school districts. It's been their focus because of the mandates that have come down on us. So yeah. So Joan, but you have policies next meeting that fine. I said to the board ahead of time so we can just look. I'll start with I already know which student. Perfect. You're ahead of me. All right. Could also send them to council. Yes. Thank you. On that note. Anything else? All right. A motion to adjourn. Second by Will. All in favor? I have a great day. Thank you. Thank you. Awesome. than you. I was going to say you
