001director. We'll start with roll call number seven here. Mark here. All [Music] right. Approval. Hi. Hi. Start with meal. Like I said, [Music] And second, [Music] All right, reports tonight. Okay, as Paul mentioned, the softball team did awesome yesterday. They beat they play. They beat them. that fire and we're hoping tomorrow as well. Baseball made it to the playoffs for the first time in like seven or eight years which is a great thing for them. They went and played I think yesterday and unfortunately did not win but they're proud to play for the first time in a long time. I also had the opportunity to go cheer on the lacrosse team last Wednesday to watch a lot of fun but I know they're playing tomorrow. So, just an update on the rec commission. We we've

002been working on the paytoplay or the the rental fees for for the city of Forest Grove, mainly the athletic fields and and some of the other areas. So, we have come to the point where we couldn't we we adopted all of the fees and structure for recreational programs except for you sports. we couldn't agree on that. Um, so what we decided to do is send in that portion structure to the city council and let them make a final decision. And what they're doing now is pulling in all the youth sports um representatives and having a listing session and eventually they'll make the decision about how the fee structures will be for youth sports. So, what my motion that I made was to align it with the the school district's fee structure um in terms of

003youth um sports and nonprofits and that went down three. So, that's where it ended up council and that's my is anything for community members or just youth group uh targeted youth representatives from the people are currently using that as well. Uh I was able to attend the orchestra comfort at Neil Armstrong Zootopia and it was a whole house cafeteria could be there was a budget meeting. So Michaela her last night before going on and all the orchestra. There is a giant list of so many kids that have opportunities in so many different ways and um it was just great to see all the parents there and I was I was really actually surprised at how many how many kids are able to play different there. So great job them. Uh I do want to acknowledge

004that school board elections did happen as we're all aware and I want to say all seven people ran for the school board. Those results were not finalized and certified until but all seven candidates would have added value and it's the first time in a [Music] while. The other interesting exciting thrill is that I'll turn out I believe we actually did have pretty strong a lot of things on the ballot. I do want to mention that the pink narrowly and I think we want to continue to reach out to people in the community about what what our needs are with regards to I want to work by our staff staff that really help get the word out on that on that. And finally um we are still in legislative session. Tomorrow night, Senator Coleman is having

005a virtual town hall and she's never had a chance to attend one of her town halls. She has town halls in person and virtually. It feels like a couple times a month at least on top of being in a full legislative session. So, um virtually all I would encourage people to do that and Dr. may or may not be talking about the revenue forecast. will be so um well yeah the legislative forecast under what we were expecting right now there's a lot of conversation about so there's been really strong advocacy I thought coming from today from our superintendent and other superendent item today from ODA to ask our board members to individually send to their rep saying that we absolutely have budgeted for that. And even with that more funding that we budgeted for out

006there, but it is recognized right now. uh reports that have come out just showing that that needs to be kind of looked at. There's just so many systemic things in our state that we're starting to realize work and at the same time we need to be able to plan the work that's being done and there's a lot of powerful conversations that everybody's trying to do the best they can with what But it still does make a difference directly from people from students from community members to just um remind people that that is absolutely necessary towards and if you haven't had a chance to watch our budget meeting I would highly recommend watching maybe the first one I well they're both I think really blockbusters uh but the first one I think does a really good

007job director did a really good job out what our facing and also what Dr. West reported those budget conversations really help out where we are headed. So you're watching the meeting tonight. [Music] It's really [Music] important. In addition, 32 reason I'm bringing that up. You can't really There's nothing. And now I think I was able Congratulations. So, I had an opportunity to visit And they were engaged in that students were out there. They had I'm highlighting this because There's nothing whe [Music] There is a lot of people. And then the last thing that I want to highlight Do you know how open house this Saturday as well and you can pour the house between the hours of 12 p.m. and 400 p.m. and that's at 1236 Parkside Avenue here in Forest Grove. So we welcome

008the community to visit any of those um important events and that's it coming. I I'd like to add a comment about Oak Academy um in the last I don't know five or six years they have been partnering with the Gail Creek Garden Club. So yeah, so when they had the plant sale, the fits brought their plants, but they also help the community carry their plants through the cars and that and that's been a really good partnership and you know they the Gail Street Garden Club, they really appreciate. So again, it's a it's a community partnership. So we really appreciate Thank you for joining. All right. Thank you. We do not have comments tonight from Hors Education Association. We I don't No, they're not at this time. So, um Okay, that worked out well. Bethany, do

009we have any unscheduled public appearance? All right, so we'll move on to consent agenda. The consent agenda is made up of routine non-controversial items to be voted on under one motion. Are there any items within the consent agenda a board member or the superintendent wishes to discuss separately? Seeing none, um I'll make the motion that we approve the consent agenda as presented. I have a second. All in favor say I. I. I. I. Motion passes and we'll move on to action items. Uh our first action item is Chromebook repairs with director Pon, our technology manager. Uh thank you, Chair Baky. Uh the first item before you uh tonight is the uh third-party repair services that the district uses each year for our Chromebooks. Um with this we have estimated how much we'll need for the

010year to do repairs. And so we're bringing forward to you today uh the request to approve uh Chromebook repairs through chromebook parts.com for the upcoming 25 26 school year uh not to exceed u $60,000. uh as kind of a reference point, you approved the same one last year and coming up to the end of the year we're just under 60,000. So we're kind of in that we didn't exceed we're kind of in that same ballpark. So we're estimating for this upcoming school year about the same. So uh administration recommends that the board approve the purchase of Chrome repair services through chromop parks.com not to exceed $60,000 for the 2526 school year. Any questions? No. All right. Do I have a motion to approve the purchase of Chromebook repair services through Chromebook parts.com not to exceed

01160,000 for the 2025 2026 school year? Second. Any discussion? All in favor say I. I. I. All right. Motion passes and Cisco voice licensing renewal. Great. So, a few renewals tonight. Uh, so this is the same renewal as past years of our Cisco voice licensing. We use Cisco for our uh on premise voice software and hardware system. And uh for the 256 school year, our renewal is for $50, uh400. So our uh request to the board is for uh the approval of the purchase of our Cisco Voice licensing renewal for the 2526 school year from CBE Technologies for $50,400. I feel like I just want to say so moved. Yeah. Can I do that? I don't I don't know. I don't think so. Hey, how about how about So, well done. I'll just make the

012motion. That was real good, Ricky. Thanks. I move that the board approves the purchase of our Cisco voice licensing renewal for 2025 2026 school year from CVE Technologies for $15,400. Second. Any discussion? All in favor say I. I. I. All right. Comcast data service extension. All right, moving on. Uh so the next one for you is uh the district currently has their data services contract through Comcast. Uh the existing contract expires uh and on June 30th. Uh but under the contract, we can extend for another year on a month-to-month basis. Um as you know, the board already approved our new dark private project, which is new construction that we plan to have in service for the 2526 school year. Uh but with that construction, we'll probably have some overlap period. So this request is to

013approve us to continue on a month and month on Comcast until such time as we're ready just to disconnect service. Uh so the recommendation is for the board to approve the extension of the data transmission fiber service with Comcast cable uh communications management on a month-to-month basis 25 26 school year for an amount not to exceed $120,000. Questions? I make the motion to for the board to approve the extension of the data transmission fiber service with Comcast Cable Communications Management LLC on a month-to-month basis for the 2025 20226 school year for an amount not to exceed $120,000. Second. Any discussion? All in favor say I. I. I. And Microsoft licensing. Excellent. Um as again You may remember on a yearly basis we need to renew our licensing with Microsoft uh for all our Microsoft services.

014Um and for this year uh through the OEC through the pricing agreement they have with Microsoft uh we received our quote and our renewal this year uh is for $59,975.97. So, our recommendation to the board is to approve the purchase of our Microsoft licensing renewal uh for the 2526 year from OETC uh for $59,975.97. Questions? I move that the board approves the purchase of our Microsoft licensing renewal for 2025 through 2026 school year from OEC for $59,975. Second. Any discussion? All in favor say I. I. I. I. All right.
