001call the order of the work session for the Scranton School District for May 27th. Please rise for the pledge of allegiance. I allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Roll call. Mr. Gorwick, here. Mr. Casey, here. Mrs. Chzik, present. Miss Fox, present. Mr. McCandrew, present. Miss Merkel, present. Mr. Trisley, present. Mrs. Yanni, Mr. Holmes, present. Eight present, one absent. Athletics. Okay. Under athletics and student activities, we will have a discussion about the West Scranton High School wrestling. I know that there's been a lot of questions about West Granton High School wrestling. Um, at present, we are still on hold waiting for the PIAA. Um, so it is not like action is not being
002taken from the district. Uh, as soon as there's any information to present or that can be shared, we will do so. Okay. We will also have information about the marching band requests. So, from a budgetary perspective, um I did meet with both marching band directors. Um and they had given a list of equipment that they need of an immediate need. Uh West Scraton High School marching band needs a new podium. I believe the cost was about $2,000 that I sent you. Um I'm going to recommend that we make that purchase immediately for them for the season. Both bands have requested new drum line equipment. So drum line equipment has to be ordered in a totality because that way it will all match. It's between 12 and approximately $15,000 a set. Um they were very gracious
003in saying we could build one into the 26 budget and one into the 27 budget. Mr. Laffy also said we could just build them both into the 26 budget. Um and then there was request for a susophone. So those are the requests that are being brought forward. I will be um moving forward with ordering the podium for them. But as we do the 26 budget, the drum line equipment would be something that would be line item into the budget. Okay. Budget and finance. So under the consent agenda, we will have a motion. We have Motions to approve bill list and exception bill list, summer bill payment policy, deliquid tax reports, treasurers reports, repository sales, budget transfers, disposal of assets, and budgeted purchases. And then uh discussion motion on real estate assessment approvals if any. Mr.
004L, just previously just what we reviewed uh recently in executive session. So if there's anything added uh to that, we will include in the board's packet this week. Okay. Thank you. Then a discussion of possible motion on e-lect. So yes, um so we've been um e-lect who is a third party collector of delinquent taxes um who previously worked in the district did reach out to me uh last um maybe a week and a half ago. Uh they did make a proposal to the district with a standard form agreement. uh they did work for the district I'm going to say back in approximately 2017 20 2018 and was able to uh recoup some unfound delinquent business privilege mercantile taxes um we are reviewing that uh proposal now I've uh forwarded to attorney Moran to review also
005um as you know we currently have two other tax collectors obviously the Scranton single tax office as well as which collects our real estate uh delinquent business privilege mercantile LST and also Burkheimer who collects our earned income and our newly uh levied payroll preparation tax. So we will be reviewing those terms and agreements to see if there's any exclusivity uh for that um and uh have a recommendation for the board. And previously um they we made they found for us or recuperated I guess uh about a little over half million dollars. Yeah, it was it was probably closer to 600,000 I believe. Have they um have they indicated that they have an idea of what they could potentially get for us now or is this a we make an agreement and then they go get
006what they can? I think it would be I I'll have to review the proposal again. I'm not sure if they reference it an estimate of what they think they can find. They did reference some other clients I believe where they were able to locate some substantial say um excuse me not savings uh funding sources and this is does not come at a cost to the district. I can speak to that question before you move on just because just in full disclosure they were a client of mine back in 2017 and 2018. They were from out of town at that point. So they sent me as their attorney to answer questions at a board meeting before they got hired. U so that's it's a relationship I have and I and I do know their principles and
007they have reached out to me as well and that what they have said is they are very excited. I did not get a number, but they said they had done so much work uh analyzing and identifying um delinquent taxes that they have not collected that they know that they have seven figures of uh money that they can they can recover for this school district under a new contract. I'll take seven figures. That'd be nice. And Director Bley, you mentioned a cost there. there is a commission or a fee associated with it of I believe it's 20 this is they're proposing 25% I believe 25% of what they find that we have not yet collected basing based something that um Mr. laughy said um in our discussion I kind of told him that I was going
008to take my time and review the resolutions uh appointing the single tax office any resolution or contract with Burkheimimer specifically to make sure that that we did not appoint anybody to be the exclusive collector of a delinquent tax because I wouldn't want to recommend you guys engage somebody to violate that provision but barring that most of them don't have the word exclusive my philosophy would be you should have as many contingency feebased bill collectors after people who owe you money as possible. It's not costing you anything and if people have proprietary methodology or things that wrap around or supplement or enhance the capabilities of your existing collectors, it's only going to benefit the district. Thank you. And then we have uh information and a contracts update. Yeah, absolutely. So before we do that, I'm going
009to jump just because I wanted to highlight this uh the motion to approve budgeted purchases. So um I just wanted to make you aware uh Mr. Suma did put a memo in the packet this weekend regarding the purchase of um Chromebooks and also Chromebook carts for for the next school year. While that will not be a standalone motion on on the under vendor relations, it will be included um in that purchases uh excuse me budgeted purchases which is again according to policy 611. Um additionally, there is a program that we will be requesting uh board approval for. Um it's called smart futures. Um it is for 26 district licenses that u and they're required. Excuse me. Uh this program helps us collect artifacts um to meet the requirement of college and career uh readiness. Well,
010this is certainly not my expertise. I'm sure Aaron can Dr. Keen can expand on that. So, these are the required elements of the guidance 339 plan that are assessed when we come in for monitoring um with the state. It is also an element of the future PA ready index that is um graded if you will annually and that is a submission we must make. So this helps us to track and to ensure that we are in compliance with those standards. Um we also have a Pat as far as the purchasing goes. Um, I'd recommend that maybe you meet with uh all parties involved and that they get their purchase orders in for the beginning of the school year ASAP because we're not the only district, but every district in the United States will be ordering
011uh within the next couple weeks. So, we don't want to uh delay on uh putting purchase orders in and then finding out that we're on the bottom of the list. That's a great recommendation, Director Casey. And actually, at at our last meeting, um we we did award our supply bids, our our large uh consolidated supplies for schools, for the medical department, for athletics. So, those POS have been issued, but I will uh discuss with principles. If there's anything that wasn't on those list that need to be done, we'll get them out ASAP. Thank you. Okay. I would also like to just highlight that the decision to move forward with the carts came out of a request from the board to track the break fix over the course of the year. At the intermediate school level,
012they are repairing 60 to 100 devices every 10 days. Um, so it is it was a request that we were able to show what devices were being fixed and how often they were being fixed. And here is an administrative recommendation being made. Committee work was also done. input from administration and teachers so that we can address that concern. Good. Community relations actually back to contracts. Yeah. So, um there is there will be a under the purchases budget policy 611. There's a contract that we've engaged for media flex is the vendor. Um it is a for Opals is their library inventory u program working with Mr. Duca. confirm that this is a program being utilized within the schools and that comes out of the library budget. There's also a contract for a contractor clearance and roster
013and overtime reporting. Uh that comes out of the IT department budget contracts. That's it. Thank you. Community relations. Um first we have discussion about streaming meetings on ECTV. So, um, a board member had reached out to me and asked me what it would cost to have ECTV record board meetings. Uh, the cost is a ballpark amount of $16,500. That number estimates two meetings per month and any special meetings that could be added, but the run time is 90 minutes. For meetings that went over 90 minutes, there could be an additional charge. Um it would include a multi- camera view rather than a static view, equipment setup and takedown and labor. Uh the cost does not include audio as it would be provided by the district. Um there would be an additional cost if ECTV uh
014did that. The district has two options. The first being ECTV and the district's IT employees record the meetings at the same time. The second being ECTV records the meeting and sends a file for are upload to the YouTube channel. Um, if we had the second option, it would eliminate live streaming on the YouTube channel. Um, but this was a request of a board member to gather this information and that is the information I have to present forward. I would need to know um and I don't know director Holmes if at another time if right now that is just a discussion if that is something that you would want to then make a motion. There are other some other moving parts that I would I would need to discuss with the board as well. Please put
015all this information in the Friday packet and I will take in consensus. Okay. And then we have a motion to approve donations from Net Credit Union to John F. Kennedy for two different field trips. Standard education. I I don't know if Director Fox is going to read. I'm sorry. I'm on it. Oh, you're on it. All right. So under uh consent we have a motion to approve permissions to attend meetings and conferences out of state field trips if any sixth 7th eighth grade art curriculums uh high school steals curriculum 11th grade STEM curriculums WIP grant PA smart grant music curriculums health curriculums dual agreement dual enrollment agreement with Marywood and uh the 2025 2026 NEIU consulting agreement for so just a couple pieces there music will be tabled We're not bringing that forward. We need
016to make some additional adjustments. Uh Mrs. Griebeck will be working on that. So, that will not be coming to you at the next meeting. I'd like to thank uh Katona Miller. The women and philanthropy grant was $4,500. The PA Smart Grant was $75,000 both to advance STEM and STEM equity across the district. Okay. And then under non-conent, um we have the new teacher introduction class. Um we're going to do that next meeting. Correct. Okay. Um information on the Rotary Club donation of pens. So that is uh the Rotary Club of Scranton is donating um a number of translation pens. Very interesting little pieces of technology. You can slide them over text and they translute into a multitude of languages. Um there's going to be a donation on Thursday. You're going to have the paperwork to
017approve those in July. So, I don't want you to see a donation like, "Oh, they're doing this thing and we never approved it." You're going to have the paperwork in July to accept them because we will be taking possession of them. Okay. Um, we're going to have a discussion of STEM PSSA scores, Grant High School scores 7 to 12 and STEM uh attribut attributions. Sorry. Okay. So, there was some questions being asked and I just want to clarify for everyone. When the Scranton High School was made a 712 building because the children attend their full day, the PSSA Keystone scores for seven and eight attribute to Scranton High School. Uh there was confusion that they were to be sent back to the sending schools. That is not the case because it is an approved building
018with a building number. those scores stay at that building. You may have confusion because you have a cyber program or you have the Montichello centerbased programs scores are attributed back to the school because technically that child does not well it's cyber they don't attend a building their home school remains their home school and the centerbased program is approved under the Bureau of Special Education. So it's a whole different set of rules. So for the board members who've been on the board, this may be information that is a little different from what you initially understood. I just want to make the clarification there that that's how they work that that is a 712 building. So they have their own scores because they have a building number and the board approved that to be a 712 building.
019Um it is I will have in the weekly packet this week the numbers from each of the schools. Uh it is minimal but I understand best and the brightest. I get it but but because it's a building that's where those scores remain. Can we can we change that? I don't know if you can make it a program again. And I knew that would be a question tonight. So in the senior cabinet meeting today I said we have to reach out to PTE and see if that's possible. But I can't give you that answer on stage right now. and I wouldn't do so and lead you down the wrong path. Well, Dr. Keen, I appreciate you giving us this information and being transparent with us. I know a couple years ago we were given different information
020like you had said. So, that's unfortunate. Um, I'm just glad that right now we we know what really happens and uh you know a path forward. So, thank you. Now, just for clarification, the seventh and eighth graders still still do participate with their homeschool and athletics and extracurriculars. In ninth grade, per the policy with PIAA, they make a selection as to which high school they're going to participate with. There are three students who do participate in West Grant High School sports at present. So, that that is still by policy happening. Um, but the scores remain at Scrantight. I will keep I may not folks I may not have that in the packet for this week. Um I don't know if anyone's ever tried to contact PTE before but it's not an easy process. All right.
021Anybody else? All right. We're going to have a discussion for prek. Mr. O'Donnell. Yes. We are waiting. Uh we have with ACE of NEPA this year instead of one class at Sumar there will be three classes and right now the union is uh with President Boland their lawyers are looking over the same that we used last year. So this will be continuation. Everything should be the same except instead of just one class at Sumar we are adding Adams and Plaza as two more classes and we are in negotiations to try to get some more classes in and we will keep you informed as as they become available. The contract from ASME is being reviewed or it was reviewed by attorney Moran. He had a couple things he wanted us to look at and the MOU
022is being worked on with the SFT. We're hoping to have both of those for you um so they can be approved. And then just so you know, you are going to have to do a motion to turn those three buildings into preK for buildings because we are changing the grade configurations. Is PD going to be a pain with that one too? Probably. Okay. Anybody else? All right. So, we have anformational uh instrumental rentals for fifth grade and pull out music. We've partnered with Robert Sides. Um so, paperwork is going out to all the parents to let them know that we're going to have that. Obviously, any student who couldn't afford an instrument, we will work with them to use what we have, but we were going to have that program. We'll be um showing that
023at our back to school nights and our fairs at the beginning of the year. Music teachers will also be going over the instruments at the beginning of the year with kids, but it's one more step down the path to bring back instrumental lessons. All right, we're going to have a motion to approve prek contract with Ace of NA. Yep. And again, attorney Moran is reviewing that. There were some changes you wanted made and you were going to be sending that back, correct? All right. Motion to approve building recreatoration of Sun Adams and Plaza for K through 4 to prek through. That is just to allow us to have those prek classes in there. All right. Motion to approve special education sets if there are any. Those would be standard and brought forward to you. All
024right. And I don't know if this is a motion or just a discussion, but we have tech bridge and internship. It's not a motion, but I'm going to call Mr. Ducal andor Mr. Wolf up to the microphone. This literally hit us this afternoon, so that is why it is not on the agenda. And Mr. Duca is in back in his um sport coat tonight. Yes. Hello everyone. Good evening. Sorry, this is literally hot off the press. So, uh, Mr. Wolf and myself met with Don Webster today. He's the, uh, executive director of Techbridge. And what he brought to us is a great internship opportunity that the that Techbridge is going to be applying for a grant. And what he wants is our support in this process to hopefully get some of our high school students
025to be able to participate in these internship opportunities. So, the discussion that myself and Mr. Wolf had today was just just about this and the basis of getting this information out there. Uh and there is a letter of support that he asked myself to to put on our letter head and so he could support the writing of this. I do letters of support all the time but because this will actually impact our students hopefully in extremely positive way with internships. I just wanted to make it public for everyone to know. Okay. All right. I we will be sending that letter of support. All right. And sorry that's it. Okay. Uh, director McCanders, keep going. Operations. All right. Uh, we're gonna have nothing under uh non or sorry consens. Everything's under non-consent. We haveformational auditorium stage
026project updates. So, um, Director Mccander, I'm going to combine the first two proposals for project design as well. Um, as you are aware, we've been attempting to put out bids for the West Grant High School auditorium up upgrades as as well as the West Grand High School interior door upgrades and we we are aware obviously of the lighting needs at Scranton High School auditorium. In speaking with some contractors uh through the bidding process which we've now put on hold um there was concerns related to um ADA uh ADA accommodations as well as separations act um for the multi-prime contracts. Um we we are shifting our focus from a bid for construction services to a RFP for the design of these projects. Um we hope to have something ready for the board for approval after July
02728th meeting. Okay. All right. Next we're going to have a discussion possible motion. West intermediate windows change order. So this is coming from me. Um had the privilege of attending the student of the month scholar of the month event at Weston Intermediate School. happened to be one of the 20 days in May where poured down rain. Um, and while I was there, they walked me to it was actually one of the autistic support classrooms where it was raining through the ceiling of one of the brand new constructed rooms. So, in this scope of work that was approved under the RACKP, replacing the windows was not part of that scope of work. That was a board approved scope of work. However, the windows weren't there because I saw the damage with my own two eyes. I
028am bringing forward to you the change order because if we're going to finish it, let's finish it so that we don't have that happening. Um, so that's why I asked for that to be put here. So, I saw the pictures um and there was an an immense amount of just straight up rot. This stuff doesn't happen overnight. Why has not anybody who we have working for us brought this forward before you saw the rain inside. Um I think it was brought up I I can't I can't because and when I started asking these questions and I would have to go back to give you the meeting. So again I'm talking without fact here um that they the change this is not the first time the change order is being brought forward. It's just when I
029saw what I saw director Borwick I I said get me the change order. I'm going to bring it back. So I if I recall this this was a long time ago. I think Mr. Laugh you and I spoke about this. of what two and a half three years ago I think there was some discussion about it it wasn't included in the scope but in that interim again if you're if anybody is doing construction and sees rot why would that not be brought to our attention I don't like I genuinely don't understand I I don't have an answer for you for that I'm telling you when I saw it I brought it to your attention well thank thank you for keeping an eye on the construction but I it is an expensive change order uh the
030fees are It'll all be in a memo. I am going to put this on the agenda just because again, if you're going to finish the building, finish the building. Yeah, we can't I mean, I'm sure there's damage that we didn't Yeah. You know, we don't finish the building, replace the windows. And Director Borler, just to go back to that, you know, I believe the budget for this was approved in April 2022, and it was a long process. And I'm looking at it here. I believe there was possibly five or six versions of what the renovation at Western Intermediate was going to look like. So, you know, obviously things were because we were working with a limited source of funds, um things were not included in the original project scope, you know, like these windows similar
031to some of the carpeting and interior painting projects that we've gone out and did separate bits for. Yeah, I understand that. I I I just think we need to keep an eye on our on our buildings so that it doesn't get to the point of raining inside. But again, you're going to get my recommendation is accept this, finish it. Let's change it all out. We're putting the new carpet in and and let's get it done. And uh can you review this with uh Solicitor Moran to make sure that we're legal? We're new best friends. I absolutely will. how the war turns. Uhhuh. Right. Said it didn't take long for me to go into my email and hit L right there on the top. You're just one hell of a person. I am. Thanks, Bob. All
032right. Um discussions. Last possible motion. West High School Gym Fasibility City. So we have to decide as a board what we want to see because um we had these different proposals that were specific to West. Uh one of them had hey if we want to do this over a trip we have that option. We we need to have like a serious board discussion about what it should look like uh before we accept a feasibility study because there's a couple of options realistically. Are we going are we interested in looking at what's going to happen? You know the tennis courts? Do we move the tennis courts somewhere? Do we put a building, you know, a full actual gym there? Do we take down some walls of one of the two existing gyms and expand? Um, we
033we should probably, and I this might even be because it's bu building related, something we do in executive session, but we might want to be bringing in some of these people to hear or at least maybe some people in the field to hear what logistically makes sense before we say, "Hey, give us a study." Because we need to be able to whoever is going to do this study, we have to tell them what we want. So, I I feel like that's a a discussion that we have to have. I don't know if it's one we have on the floor or or what options are are the most prudent going forward, but as I looked at those proposals, we need we need to be a little more clear. Having having gone through this in a different
034district for a different type of athletics complex, they we can ask them to come in and to do their proposals as well. Yeah. I think describe what their thought process would be. Yeah. Okay. So we could potentially bring these people in and say they've had the chance to look here's what we think because or they're going to say here's what we think. You know what I mean? Well and and but it's also got to come from the direction of the board. Um and honestly we should be having input from stakeholders here at the we could have an operations meeting and have one anyways. Maybe have a discussion on that. That that that makes a lot of sense. I know we're trying to schedule one. I'll link up with you guys the schedule. Okay. Okay. No,
035it's long overdue. Yep. Okay. Anybody else? All right. Uh discussing discussion/motion operations hero for work order management. So, um the last time it was called to our attention that there were pieces of the initial bid that were not vetted through committees. They have been removed. This that you see before you was a five-year proposal. There is a 3% increase per year on that. the implementation fees are dramatically reduced. I think they're like $2,200. Um, and this is just for what the maintenance got up and spoke about, which is the work order management system only. Okay. Um, motion to award West Scrant High School locker room locker replacement bid. Yeah. So, I'll I'll hit on these next two, which which includes this high gymnasium floor refinishing. Uh those bids are due tomorrow. So we will be
036opening them tomorrow. Um we will compile the information, tally up the scores and have a recommendation for the uh for the board for Monday. Okay. Anybody questions? Um before I hand it over, I do have one thing I would like and maybe I'm missing the packet. I know but maybe I don't think I did. Science lab updates with West Grant High School and lockers. I've been on this in on this board for five years and science labs would have to be designed. So that would be something we'd have to put a design out for. And I I will take on that because I was kind of waiting for the RFPs to go out that attorney. Yeah. I just want to make sure like they're not forgotten about because the lockers here even if we have
037a plan to do one floor a year or something like that. I did talk to Mr. Walsh about getting the tenative numbers. Um I'll reach I'll talk to him again tomorrow morning. Perfect. Thank you. Personnel. I'm under personnel. We will have a motion to approve the personnel report and a discussion possible motion to approve summer interns. So the summer interns was put in the board packet. We would like to do um and if I get these numbers wrong, somebody yell at me. Two in the HR department, um college recent college, four in the business department, college recent college, and five in the IT department, two from West Scranton High School, two from Scranton High School, one college. um they will be the people that would power wash our devices. We didn't collect them last summer.
038We're going to collect them as per the board request this summer and power wash all of the devices. And then Mr. Suma would also like to look at possibly building out an apprenticeship for those students that come in as summer interns over the summer. Um estimated cost I sent to you is 1250 an hour about 2500 to $3,000 per position. And this the the funding for these would be some vacant positions that have remained unfilled for the majority of the 2025 uh budget year so far. So we will be bringing that motion forward to do questions. Okay. Policy. We'll have motions to approve first read revisions updates for policy 317 conduct disciplinary procedures 317.1 educator misconduct 320 freedom of speech by employees and 718 service animals in schools. These are just standard updates from PSBA
039vendor relations. Uh we're going to have motion to approve mom and pop contracts. Uh update list of transportation drivers if any. Um motion to approve 2526 PSBA membership. So Director Casey, the board had tasked me to go out and get information for all of you. There are 497 of the 500 districts who belong to PSA. The one local dis or PSBA the one local district who did not belong to PSBA did rejoin because of policy updates at this time with the PNN network and that's where we receive our policy updates. I think it's really important that we stay with them. There is not another viable option for policy updates. I reached out to multiple sources in the state. However, you also asked about the National School Board Association. The National School Board Association. Can I
040put this in a memo via their website is $75 per person if we would like to join that? You mean per like per director administrators that that's what it said on the website. I'll call and verify it, but I did pull that information up. If it is $75, then I think it's well worth it. I can have a motion prepared for both of those for the board meeting. Thank you. Um the next we have the uh discussion possible motion uh for the security services RFP. Um we also have a motion to approve um infinite campus new SIS student information system. There's been multiple memos in the board on that and the committee work that was done. else as well. Discussion uh possible a motion approve request to apply for fiscal year 25 department of justice
041school violence uh prevention program. So, this would be that would be a motion for the board to allow us to put that application in knowing that it is a 25% match by the district if we receive the award to upgrade our evolve system and to purchase a new evolve system for uh the ECA building. Uh, next would be the discussion slash motion of Noah Catz as the conflict counselor. This would be for an independent investigation and for one possible expulsion at this time. And the last one would be the discussion slash uh motion renewal of workers comp tpa uh with ex x excalibur insurance. So yes uh currently right now Excalibur Insurance handles they are claims administrator and third party uh administrator for a self-insured workers compensation claim. Um Their contract is expiring at the
042end of June. Um, and speaking with representatives from their firm, uh, they be willing to, um, to extend the contract at the same terms and conditions as the prior. Um, it is an annual fixed fee, um, fixed fee cost of $45,000. Director Casey, there's one more motion that I would bring forward that wasn't on here. Attorney Moran has been working with the rights center on the formal contract for our health services. So, if we have that finalized and I know you were going back and forth. Okay. We're going to bring that for approval. It'll be in the packet. Excellent. And that's all I have. Fair funding. We have two discussions. The first one is not on the agenda. It's the IE. So, just uh Director Borth and I when you were in this position a
043while back talked about how important it is to advocate on the state and national level. Um I is looking one of the the organizations I belong to some national advocacy. So, I just want to bring that to your attention that that membership uh benefit is there and that we're going to be looking when they start that work of participating so that the district's voice can be heard at the national level since the changes at the national level are going to have such a wild impact on us. And I personally just want to jump in. We we put the RP out for the superintendent. One of the things we did say is we want our superintendent to be out there as much as humanly possible to be visible everywhere to bring Scranton to everywhere to make
044sure that we are getting recognition and building relationships. So, anytime you have an opportunity to go out and expand um Scranton's reach, um it's greatly approved. It's greatly needed and greatly appreciated. I will be in Harrisburg tomorrow. I don't want to leave at 6 in the morning, but I will. in a suit. The second discussion is for the federal funding update. So, um Oh, Pat, you want to do that today? The next one. We haven't heard anything. Yeah, I would just say at this point, we've not really gotten an update from the federal level. I will note some good news. As was in the port packet, as you were aware, we were owed approximately 6.6 million in um ESSER funding that was at one point frozen. uh we did receive that as of February 22nd
045and it's currently been transferred into our into our general fund. So that's that's a positive update. And then finally, we'll have a motion to approve the cyber charter letter in support of Senator Brown's bill. So Senator Rosemary Brown uh locally is advocating for cyber charter reform that if and this is the watered down version. If you have your own cyber charter program, you kind of get what the the average student cost would be and you can't be charged beyond that um by an a charter cyber. We estimate at what about $5 million in savings. Yeah. I I mean just just going off some last year numbers um in 2324 we we paid out to act to uh cyber charters approximately 11.3 million um in the new ready tole learn block grant application which um for
046the excuse me the um adequacy funds um we are funding our our in-house cyber program with that teacher salary and benefits at a total cost of 5.3 million. So the savings, it's going to fluctuate, but we're looking between five and six million potentially. So there was a draft letter sent to you that I would ask the board then to sign um in support of that and then we can send that out. Motion to adjourn. So moved. You ready guys? Ready to go.
