001Call our meeting to order. Six o'clock minutes. Anyone see anything in the minutes? >> I will motion to approve the minutes as those in favor. Minutes approved. >> Any additions to the consent agenda? Uh, bills. Are we supposed to look at the first ones or the second ones you handed us? >> August. Okay. >> The first I see you guys. I'm sorry. >> Think I just made one note. Just something I noticed. Uh, page four. I just tallied up all the high school um water and sewer fees and it's 443 where the grade school is 730. I wonder how much of that is the plant irrigation burning up that extra water because I don't know what else >> zero we don't use in city water to irrigate >> at the grade school grade school. That's
002what I was saying. The $300 difference. >> So which was higher? >> The grade school by 90. I'm sure it is >> $290 difference. Anyway, we've had problems with that system too. to the point where it needs to be. >> Oh yeah. Who does maintain the irrigation down there? We do. We do. I think that was the only note I had. Anyone have anything to build? >> Those two financial reports though, the power consumption, those are the valid ones. >> Yes. Yeah. All the other reports were were >> on those power bills. You probably get a kilowatt consumption as well as the expense. >> You do. >> Oh yeah. I wonder if that would be a better Yeah. Better >> see kilowatts. >> I think Yeah. I mean, obviously dollars go with whatever they're charging
003us, but if all of a sudden we're using a bunch more power, >> it doesn't look like it's trending up or anything, per se, >> if that was an easy enough thing to do. >> Sure. >> Uh, let's see. review and approve the O T grant application robotics club. Richard, do you know how many kids are doing robotics right now? >> I said on survey um only 42 in advance so far and I did not look at signs yet. We're still waiting to get all the surveys. >> It seemed like last year about science night. That is a pretty decent size group. >> Yeah, I think so, too. And from reading this application, looks like they're planning on using a Lego version. And I think that's what they were using at the club before. >>
004Yeah, that's >> Yeah, I like the idea of that. Approval to hire Uh Brooklyn Irwin, kindergarten aid and then student teacher later in the year. Um Angelo uh Escobido, special education aid. Mason Croen, high school assistant athletic director. Get that right this time. Um Alex Reer, high school assistant football coach. Jesse Void, high school assistant football coach. And then approval of volunteer coaches. Carl Young, um, middle school football. Steve Horning, middle school football. Richard Bolan, middle school football. And Laura Sinkb, middle school volleyball. Those are all familiar local names. Then we have a transfer Janette Rodriguez from second grade to kindergarten. >> A motion to approve consent agend. >> Those in favor? >> I uh communications. I don't see anything there. No communications at Tanya. None. >> Okay. Delegations and presentations. Uh, meet the teacher.
005So, meet the teacher is a question. We haven't invited any teachers yet, >> right? Uh, I'm wanting to know if you guys want to do that. Well, give it a shot. I know we didn't have great attendance last year, but you know, some will show that certainly can together. >> I would like to. >> Yeah, I enjoy it. How how do your principles feel like the staff would be interested in an invitation? So, we'll put that together and try to have somebody on tap. Yep. And definitely just make it feel like it's voluntary. I don't want anyone to feel pressure younger. It be nice to see their face and then see. >> Yep. I like it. uh construction update building inspection committee report. Uh so construction up here, the the kitchen is done. Uh the
006floor is much improved. Uh we were hoping to get a coat of paint on the walls in in between, but we weren't able to to squeeze it. Um they did some work around the bottoms as well. Closed off some of the areas that were underneath the semi-permanent countertops. So it looks good. Sherry's very happy with it. Hopefully the health inspector is happy with it. >> The project done. Um put out the RFP for the seismic project on we posted it yesterday. Yeah. And already have 16 uh requests for more information. So see how that goes. We have a walkth through on the 16th of September. Anybody's interested in joining us? I >> think noon. I'll I'll bring that up. Uh otherwise, um haven't made any movement on the track yet. High school wise, I don't
007Oh, the the concrete pad is finished on the back side of the shop. So, if you haven't gone back there, it looks really nice. Cleaned it up a lot. Uh so, that was a good thing. Um and the the shop roof obviously has been done school stuff. There's little fixes otherwise which is just fine. >> Oh yeah. >> Seems like an HVAC unit goes out once every month >> besides that. Nice. Sounds good. Um, enrollment and attendance. I like the first one much lot better. Yeah, >> but trending up a little bit. Administrative update. I'll start with Richard if you'd like to share any thoughts. You know, with four days in, everything seems to be going well. and attendance is good. Um, kids seem to be following directions and rules like they should. Um, walks
008by classrooms pretty often. Kids seem to be engaged. Um, happy. I think I've had lots of good comments from parents and things about how much their kids enjoy their teachers. Um, so yeah, overall it's been uh very positive. So, it's been going a little well. >> You got the locker room cleaned out, right? You're using those now. How's that going? >> That's not going to start. Generally, it won't start till the 15th. >> Oh, give kids time to kind of mentally prepare, I guess. >> Okay. >> But yes, the locker rooms are cleaned out. They will be used for sixth, seventh, and eighth grade. >> That'll be really good. >> Okay, Bo. Similar short short list really. Just open house uh for the high school is Friday the 12th from 4:30 to 6:30. if you
009want to swing by. Um, we try to do it the first the night of the first home football game because it kind of gives us all kind of a an event and it pulls a few more people in. I don't think it's nearly as well attended like the meet the teacher nights at the great school, but um we're going to try to make a push and advertise to parents this week. Just let them know that we're here and we like to meet them, you know, kind of show them the areas and whatnot. Um, yeah, I think fall sports starting that's always a big kind of a momentum builder for us. I think it kind of launches the school year. So, home home volleyball tomorrow, Thursday as well, and then home football. So, it's kind of
010a homecoming week, if you will. And then, of course, some away stuff going on. Um, today's our first day of our new electives. I mentioned last time the intro to sheet metals, uh, urban farming, sports media, and, uh, kind of a literature, political literature class started today. So seemed to be kind of a nice change of pace in a way. Yeah. Other than that, few few more bodies in the building and yeah, seems seems like a good start so far. >> How is the sports participation to see the games? >> Yeah. >> Uh they're still low. I think we're seeing, you know, the the upswing coming. Um, I think good freshman particip participation numbers this year still kind of low on seniors, but I'm looking at this year in the next couple years, I think
011the will increase quite a bit. I think volleyball's at about 15. Football's about 18ish. So, pretty pretty small. Cross country is around eight. So, we've had we've had a lot larger, but uh we hold on. We might get a push for softball this year. Looks like the chance. >> Okay. >> Excellent. Little thing. I don't have any other updates. Okay. >> I was going to say I have a feeling that was you that put the verbiage in the back of the other budget. >> I really liked that. I was just >> in other >> the notes about where we were and why things were there. Yes. Yeah. No, that was really helpful because >> I had all of those and then I got there and I didn't Yeah, I said I'll try to answer some
012questions before they >> Yeah, I thought I forgot to say it because I put it in the packet. >> Excellent. Um, that was it on the uh new business uh scheduled the board and superintendent goals workshop. in the past. I could just throw it out there. Maybe you know when have we done that before our time? >> I don't think we've done it before our meeting, right? Or maybe we scheduled it Tuesday night in Bill's office. >> Yeah. Yeah. I'm not remembering for sure, but >> in October or September. >> I say hopefully September. >> Think of September. So, I'd hope not October. Yeah. So, um I got September open here. There's a particular day that works for everyone. Guess you're a little more flexible now without football as in the for >> I'd ask
013for to not be on Monday or Thursday if possible. >> Okay. Mine would be Wednesday because of football. >> Tuesday. >> Say Tuesday, Thursday's volleyball. But I can work around whatever everyone we found at home. What time is home volleyball? >> Uh 4 8 or 9. So it doesn't really matter. >> Well, no, it does cuz we do after your daughter's >> six o'clock season varsity. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yep. >> 63. So yeah, I'd be fine with with whatever 16th, 23rd, or 30th. Those are Tuesdays. >> Anyone the same? >> 23rd. 23rd. >> That's what you said. >> Yeah, probably five would be better. And then maybe I could catch the second half of >> if it's home. I don't even know what the schedule is for sure. No, that's true. >> It's the fall.
014I don't need to go to >> Yeah. Okay. Um, next thing, drug and alcohol report for 2425. I like zeros. >> Yeah. Well, we're still not 100% sure that last year was correct, right? So, you know, we think a lot of that was double or something. >> Yeah. One event led up to a whole bunch of numbers somehow. Okay. I guess that leads us into the annual review of the board policy IG AEB drug alcohol and steroid prevention. >> The only thing I highlighted on here was number three got me wrong but that you discuss incident student parents if available and police have contacted. Isn't it always policy that if we have a drug related incident that a parent is discussed with? >> I think so. I mean I >> Yeah, I guess I didn't
015bring the handbook back both back but I think that was our >> parent contact on all the lines if I remember right. So >> I was just we could just maybe eliminate the >> Yeah. pretty happy with that modification. The other thing I was thinking is this says tobacco tobacco tobacco again doesn't it's not including like nicotine that's you know because there's right tobaccof free nicotine you know being >> but if we want to include that that's >> I should include nicotine >> or do we do like um um control substances covers >> blanket covers Yeah, >> that controls anything below 21 age of 21. >> So that would replace the drug, >> drug, alcohol, discovery, anything that controlled substance. >> Yeah, I think >> umbrella hand. >> Yeah, I don't have any issue with
016that. Where would that be? That'd be in five. >> And then did I see tobacco elsewhere in here? It >> We have to replace a few spots for sure. Anywhere where it says drug alcohol in the back will have to be replaced with control substances. Yep. Yeah, it's all over in there. Okay. >> Is there an RS to match with that? The definition of control substance. >> They're probably you look that up. Maybe I just add the R. >> Well, back here there's the schedules of control substances. Right. >> That's probably one of those. >> Yeah, probably. >> So, I guess we'll bring it back next month with modifications and approve it. >> Yes. We'll have to review it and we'll have to have a second rehab. >> Yep. >> Thank you. Sam uh 2425
017annual report for integrated programs and early literacy. This is the integrated guidance piece. Uh so they've took those three grants, more than three, but we all use three uh student investment account, high school success, and the early literacy grant rolled them into one uh to save time and effort, which didn't do. Um and so this is the report on 2425. So last year's spending. So the the 8 and a half by 14 sheet that's our list of objectives and kind of where they fit uh into which uh bucket they fit. We don't have an E or the literacy um set of objectives because the objective is pretty clean leaders at the private level. >> So that's the document that we kind of work off of as we make decisions on where we're going to spend
018our money. Uh and then the second sheet, the regular size sheet is what we spent last year on those pieces. We have not changed those very much. Um we stopped u funding the AVID program as we had a ton of turnover right there in 22 23. Um yes, we were we were running out of people that had been trained. The training is very expensive. we didn't feel like there was a lot of return on investment uh from that and so we decided to reallocate in other directions. Um this will probably be the last year that we do the blackboard because we have other other things that we can use for that. But we still do with the counselors in both buildings coaches. We still do um family support leazison on from the ESD. Uh last
019year we did do the behavior consultant from the ESD, but this coming year we're not uh so Kim that's part of Kim's role uh as she takes on that new piece. So that's a big fine is actually going to be quite a bit more next this year. >> Wow. >> Um so that was a good savings. And then the high school success that's focused on uh the high school obviously it's the only place you can spend your money. Uh, and it's we've kind of spent the lion share on CTE stuff and trying to expand programs and improve programs, do those things, fix facilities, make sure that those are in good shape and can be used. And so that and we do uh some credit recovery with that as well. It's improving graduation, improving attendance, uh
020improving CTE. I think there's four buckets. I don't know what those >> and access to advanced course placement. Yeah, advanced course placement. So, we do we do pay for some college tuition for kids that take some classes through LBCC and become juniors. >> Yeah. Sixth grade. >> And right now, our plan is to stay on that path. We don't really feel like any of those things are things that we want to take out. Uh and so our intention is to to kind of continue down the road and make minor adjustments where it's needed. go from there and the the dollar amounts are getting bigger but not by any sort of crazy stretch. We should be in good shape months. Thanks so much. Anyone have any questions on that? It's also a a public input on
021that. So if anyone had anything they wanted to say about it in proud sh uh building site councils and district equity committee what we got in there >> so we are going to be required by I don't know if it's state or od to have a district equity committee and so we're going to uh approach that after talking to some other small school uh folks uh we're going to use our site councils to uh create that committee. So that committee will be a conglomeration of the two building site committees uh which Bo and Richard are working on uh as we speak. So um should be something pretty doable. Um bigger schools had to have it already. This is the year that we have to have it in place. Uh the one interesting requirement is that
022a member of your budget committee be on there that's not a member of your board. So I'm going to have to talk one of those budget committee members into uh joining us for an equity committee as well. Uh that committee is an advisor goal to me and then I share them. which allows us to avoid the open. >> Is it just like a meeting? >> Right now, we're going to we're going to try to do one meeting a year in the middle somewhere December, January, but we'll look at the rates, make sure we do work. >> Sounds good. You're going to reach out to the members of the I have to figure out who they are. See if I can talk somebody in the building. >> I want to have a little more pieces in
023place for you. Explain what you got going. I think most of the people probably be interested in such a thing. Interesting. >> What What are they like? What is the equity? But like between students or staff or just >> I infer that it's more of a program level like are we >> does everybody have access to all the same things? >> Identifying any problems >> interesting. Uh I don't see any public comments or anyone here to speak. So guess with that we adjourn 6:25. >> Thank you for coming. [Music] I have my early >> if not
