002any student showcases today. Um, no public comment. Um, reports of the treasure. Um, I put in front of you, I do this every year at the end of a fiscal year where we forecasted versus what was actual. It's two pages. Um, I'm going to high there's two items that are highlighted under expenditures where we off a little bit more than I had anticipated. That was purchase services and the supplies. If you turn it over, I showed why we had some differences. Um, there's like a $300,000 difference in purchase services. We used aluma services this past year uh for some special needs types issues where they do speech therapy. Um, we also needed um sign language services which we did not anticipate. Um, we had the wellness thing that I did not account for from the

003MRESC and then we paid the um, board of DD twice fiscal year 23 and 24. So, it was a double payment. Did not anticipate that. We had a new thing for truency services and then we paid out that arbitrage to our legal council for our debt. And then on the supply end um we have the SC view software scanning. We also this is a lot of like tech stuff. IP orchid fusion we use that. Uh parent square was a 12-mon thing. Um we also had another notable which is Cammy 6200. And then we had some additional supplies from Valley. So that accounted for for the lot of the difference I just wasn't anticipating. But um other than that, everything was pretty much near what we had anticipated. That's about it. Could we get a motion?

004Wingfield. Second. Okay. Any discussion? We're doing everything on we're scanning everything out. We're not files anymore. Uh current we are but we are trying to scan many things at the schools now. Yeah. Just to save up space for us and many of us have access if we need to get into those files. Yep. Yes it does. Yep. Okay. Good. All right. Can we get a vote? Mr. Wingfield. Yes, Mr. Carmine. Mrs. Hidinger. Yes. Okay. Superintendent report. Yep. Really don't have much.

Um, we're going to vote on 10 A through 10 O. Just give you a minute to look through those. Um, the biggest thing that I seen is we're approving exchange students from Georgina and Spain.

Uh, as of right now, we have all of our positions filled, which is fantastic. Um, there was a couple of difficult ones as far as math. Um, at the middle

007school, you can see we actually hired somebody with quite a bit of experience that actually lived in Kenton as Kenton alumni. uh been attention for Alan East for quite a while. So, that was a really good uh hire there. And then um we also um had a couple of special ed openings that were difficult to fill, but I think we're in in good shape as of right now. So, yep. Okay.
