001Check. One, two. Roll call. >> Baringer. >> Bal >> here. >> Ramsey. >> Ritz >> here. >> Roarb >> here. >> Sher. Stein >> here. >> White >> here. >> Wilson >> here. >> Uh Mr. Ramsey is out for personal time. Uh we did hold an executive session this evening for personnel. Um, anyone in the audience that would like to address the board at this time? Seeing none, I will move on to the district departmental reports. Um, first we'll do communications with Mrs. Kennedy and then um move to technology with Mr. Inc. Can you hear me now? There we go. All right, good evening everyone. Um, so tonight I want to talk with you a little bit about um our athletic pages that we just redid last year. Um, it was kind of bad timing

002because a week after I did my report in March, we were told that we got an award from Pensro, which is our state communications association. Um, so we submitted that. They do like yearly communications excellence awards. Um, and we submitted our new athletic pages and we got um the award of merit for that. Um, and I wanted to kind of toot Aaron Berquette's horn. She's our community relations assistant. She splits her time. Um, well, she mainly helps me, but she works at the front desk at the ESC answering the phones, helping people as they come in. Um, and she is huge with helping out with those athletic pages. Um, so once we had the design set last fall, um, she's the one who works with athletics, with the coaches, and making sure we get the

003rosters, get the the all the names spelled correctly, the coaches, the seniors, all that stuff on there. It takes a lot of time, um, and a lot of patience for her to get through those. Um, but she focuses on those a lot. Um, she also did a lot with our social media. She does a lot of the scheduling, a lot of the graphics, and helps a lot with the website. um I couldn't do what I do without her, but her being able to do some of those things lets me um focus on some of these other strategic communications that we have going on. So, I just wanted to toot her horn a little bit. We she you know, with her being behind the scenes, she doesn't get seen all that often. So, I just wanted

004to make sure she's a, you know, that she's a big part of the team. Um and the other thing we're going to be focusing on quite a bit this year. um was it probably about a year and a half ago when the Department of Justice came out with um guidelines that for ADA website accessibility um which means that anybody no matter what their disability should be able to access the same information that anybody who is um able-bodied. So which means all of our graphics all have to be ADA accessible. They have to have alt text. PDFs are pretty much a big no no now on websites. Um, so we have to make sure that we're going through and making sure we're following all those things. Even for example, every graphic, every picture that we put

005on social media has to have alt text and that is very timeconuming to make sure that we're doing all that. But it's the right thing to do because just because you have a disability doesn't mean that you shouldn't have the same access as anybody else. Um, so that's one thing we're really focusing on. Um, the area that has a lot of PDFs on it right now is our curriculum pages. Um, so Dr. Guadagnino knows um with Adrien Arnold and stuff. We'll be working with them and um getting those all fixed up. That'll be a big focus. Um those are the two main things for right now. Any questions? >> Steph, are we going to keep up with the rocket reports? I thought that they were so engaging and seeing that number does not surprise me.

006Um, so I want to make sure that we stay y >> I don't know if it's a quarterly or if it's as needed, but I just want to as a marketing person myself, I really enjoyed what you did there. So, >> I know I was excited to get those get those out and, you know, and just in talking with our, you know, um, we call our ATM team, it was kind of on an ad as needed basis as things kind of arise or things that we need to be able to talk about. I imagine as Dr. Guadino gets ready for probably some of our um our testing results in the next what month or so. We'll probably be putting information on that out. Um eventually we need to put our information on our surveys that

007I shared with all of you. Um so we have I have some things in in the line um that we'll be getting those out. Anything else? Anyone else? All right. All right. Thank you. >> Thank you. Good evening. Uh the two items I would like to highlight for my report are um first the the a first action step I have listed. Um I was waiting for uh two years for a couple features of our old uh previous content filter. Um and after two years it was enough was enough. we weren't getting what we needed. So, we switched to a new product called Linewise. Um, one of the um new features is that we'll now be able to give parents uh some insight into their children's um internet history on the school district device. Um there

008are a number of things that come along with that. Um, but when it comes to the iPad, the one big feature um that I've heard was uh being able to uh pause or turn off the internet of a child's device when they're at home. So, we are currently doing some testing with that. I'm hoping in the next uh couple weeks that's something that will be ready to roll out um to our community. Um the other item um I'd like to highlight are um or is the uh uh retirement that we have coming up uh later this year. um our PIMS coordinator, database manager, um will be retiring and that is um the position that oversees the state reporting requirements that we have um does a lot of work with data databases um and our um

009student information system. there a lot of nuances with it that require very um unique skill set and so um we'll be um the lookout for um some individuals hopefully that we can bring in that will fit that well but I think it's going to be hard to find somebody that's going to meet those needs and hit the ground running. Um so we may look at depending on the candidates we get look at being creative in how we can um work with a retirement and kind of transition between um that position with two different people. Uh any questions on that either of those items? Thank you. >> Thank you so much. Um, I do not have any correspondence at this time. So, we will move into action voting items. Uh, personnel with Mr. Stein. Personnel board

010actions requested. Item A, resignation. Acceptance of the following resignation. Is it all? >> Yeah. >> Too far away. >> I'll start over. Personnel board actions requested. Item A, resignation, acceptance of the following resignation. Uh, Sheay Strel, head lacrosse coach. Item B, extracurricular positions, approval of the following individuals for the 2526 school year as listed. Item C, game manager, intercolastic personnel, approval of the following as listed. Item D, extended school year instructor, approval of the following. Caitlyn Wasler. So moved on personnel. Second. Any discussion? >> Need a separate vote on C. >> Okay. Roll call vote on letter C. Baringer. >> Yes. >> Shear. >> Wilson. >> Yes. >> Ritz. >> Yes. >> Bomb. >> White. >> Uh, yeah. >> Stein. Roarball. >> Yes. I do have a question on I I know we had talked

011about the so on every one of these they can't be combined. So what I'm asking and the same thing I ask every year is on these positions and I understand you know it's it's time away and etc etc but just help me comprehend why these can't some of these can't be combined instead of all individual you know especially the band when you have marching band and this and that you have the band there Why why do we need so many different aspects? >> Please. >> Sure. Um you may recall last uh school year we spent a good portion of the year with the personnel committee uh looking at those positions and the placement of those positions and the numbers of those positions. Um we had that discussion last year. Uh we had four different options

012um that that I presented to talk about what we might do as far as com combining. Um ultimately the personnel committee decided to go with uh the second option which eliminated a couple positions but left most of them just like they are. Um we had that that's the discussion we had um last year and that list um that you have tonight reflects that discussion and the board approval. And then um last meeting we we talked about the matrix as far as what positions and what those salaries are for each. >> And remind me were we going to do a phase two of that audit? I feel like we said something along those lines that just hasn't ever been moved forward. >> We we said we were continue um looking at them a little bit. What

013we talked about was job descriptions um for each um we haven't progressed further with that but we haven't >> were we guinea pig or something like tracking hours to say would this be better to move to a blue card rather than a stipened position. I feel like we were going to do like a second I can't wrap my head around like the exact valuation of it. Um we there was never a plan for that to occur. Okay. Yeah, I agree. I thought too we were going to make sure that they some of this stuff wasn't being done on school time, you know, regular teaching time. And if it wasn't, could it have been? Do they have time to do it on on regular time? So, I I don't I remember getting results from that either.

014We as a part of the personnel committee process last year, we did a survey and we surveyed all of the heads and assistant uh adviserss for all this and we got a all the data talking about how many students do they supervise, when do they do the work, how much stuff is in the summer, how much is on the weekends, um all those kinds of things. That is spreadsheet um was we had that information last year and was part of the discussion. Um, but there was nothing else proposed to change other than the change that we made and you voted on in March. >> Yeah, I we did receive all that information if we could get that resent out to the board. >> It was linked today. Yes, >> it was linked today. Um, I

015do think we need to do phase two of this and I think we we went into it and and made some quick accommodations, but I I'm one of nine, but I think that it's it's definitely time to take this further. >> Okay. >> It is that a personnel committee discussion or are we planning to do something at different? >> Yeah, I would start with personnel committee. Yep. Yes. Any other further discussion on >> Well, I I guess my question is >> you have a high school course director, high school concert choir director. Those can't be if you're going to have all the kids I I guess I'm totally missing the point, I guess, and hopefully someone can explain to me. You have all the kids there. They're going to be at one spot, but they

016all have different itemized uh summaries to what they're doing. So, you know, you esports advisor, we have two of them. You can't have one. Is it different grades? And again, years ago, you know, we had our social study teacher would come down and and teach us stuff. And you know, now I I understand things are done in the evenings and weekends and stuff like that and everyone's time's valuable, but where last year we had what, you know, someone that was making $13,000 just doing, you know, stuff on the side. So I I guess I'm just saying where where do you put a uh a stop to it? Me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me personally I this whole thing just

017needs 100% re-evaluated >> good >> just a clarifying question and forgive my clarifying questions I'll make it brief so we need I think what I hear people saying we're going to revisit this and we're going to perhaps drill down to even to ours making sure that we understand and then We're going to backwardly map so that when this comes forth and I'm looking at you Steve, do you have any idea or Suzanne when this would come to the board next time so that we can backwardly map to make sure that we get this all done in advance of this moment next year? This shouldn't come back. This list wouldn't come back around until next year. And ideally, it's we're late right now because of a lot of the things going on. So late spring, late

018spring, early summer would be ideal. >> Okay, that's just what I wanted to make sure. >> Well, again, my time's limited on the board here, but if we could take, you can take the names off of this. And again, maybe some of this is already done. You know, we're looking at high school class advisor for 10th grade. How many hours are put in? How many students do they oversee? Like starting to drill. Just use this and start drilling down. And you have that. >> Yeah, we have this. We did that. This is what we did last spring. >> So, I think just bringing that back to everyone's remembrance. >> Yeah, we did it in a personnel and then we brought it to the whole board at a director's study and we had these conversations >>

019because last year we were going to vote on this and we had these concerns and we said, >> can we just get a vote on it? And we got the board to agree to it and then we did it in personnel. We had a write up a very detailed spreadsheet and because we didn't want to be in this situation this year. So it was done in personnel and it was brought to a director study and >> so we need to >> we've done it >> re everybody needs to look at the doc >> already have we've done it already >> and and go into what this looks like for the next round if there needs to be changes. So, if it's already done, amazing. And everyone needs to look at the document. All right. Roll

020call vote on everything but C. >> Wilson, >> yes. >> Bomb, >> sheer. Baringer, >> yes. >> White Ritz, >> no. >> Stein, >> yes. >> Roarba, >> yes. Right. Motion to adjourn the action voting meeting. Second. All in favor? All right. Calling to order the director's study forum. Anyone in the audience that would like to address the board at this time? Seeing none, we will move into business and finance committee uh budget and finance with Mr. White. >> Budget timeline. and I'm going to turn that over to Mr. Zap. >> Uh thank you, Mr. White. So, you have in front of you the uh our first step of the 2627 budget. Uh and it will be for the adoption of our timeline. Um like always, as I have explained in the past, what we

021do is we start uh with the end of mind, which is June 30th u where we need to have our budget uh adopted and uh submitted to PTE. we work backwards uh with the corresponding future um um board meeting dates that was just approved uh last month. So, uh, some some dates that I do want to throw out to you, um, u over the next, uh, couple of months. November, there you can see we'll be reviewing the 2425, uh, audit, uh, from the fiscal year 2425, uh, and continue into December to uh, work on budget discussions. Uh, in that November uh, time frame, we'll be looking to the board for our uh, first resolution, and that's to stay within the act one index. We typically have done that here in Spring Grove. Um the uh

022circle date in January 26 there, that would be the last date if we didn't want to uh vote on that act one index. Uh that would be the last date that we would have uh to submit a budget to uh to ED. Uh next circle date would be April 13th. We adopt the proposed final budget and we make that available to the public. And then May 18th, we adopt our final general fund budget as well as our nutrition services budget. And then June 30th, we submit everything to PTE. Um hopefully by that time we have this year's budget from the governor. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that. Okay. Um but anything for the timeline? Any questions for me? >> Uh well, I was I asked Doug. I don't know if you pass that

023along. If you want to take I take it over. You want me to >> Oh, perfect. The only question I had is are there any updates on the state budget? Not at this time. Okay. It's a little hard to start thinking about next year's budget when we don't even know how much money we're going to have this year. >> Mark, can I interrupt because I think I have a little thing. It came out just this morning and we didn't have a chance to talk. the two sticking there's no it's an impass so there's no progress but the two sticking points and I was at a superintendent meeting on Friday and they also talked about it there are the cyber charter school recommendation recommendations and then the SEPTA southeastern Pennsylvania's mass transit and apparently there's it's

024loggerheads there's two sides and that's where they are and um I I unfortunately heard Friday that no one was real optimistic that it was going to be done anytime soon and That's the latest that I got as recently as Friday and today. Mark, I didn't mean to cut you off. Okay, very good. >> Okay. Um, moving forward, um, I'm going to turn it over to, uh, Mr. Ang to, uh, talk to you about the extension for the student information system, um, otherwise known as our SIS system, uh, which is Sapphire. >> Thank you, Mark. Um, so we uh when we first adopted Sapphire, we had a seven-year agreement um to use that that agreement is now up. And so this just represents a one-year extension to that um original agreement. >> And what's the purpose

025of the one-year agreement rather than doing another longstanding agreement? So, we I was approached a couple weeks ago um to to do um to to look at what other options are out there to identify whether that there was um a need to switch, whether that need was financial, whether that need was lack of features, whatever the case is. So, it represented what was sounded like a better idea was let's just do a one-year extension, come back and and say, um, yes, this is as good as anything out there, or no, it's not, let's switch before we entered into a multi-year. >> Totally makes sense. Thank you. >> U, Chris, I did email you. I don't know if it was today. I emailed you asking some questions about Sapphire and I know that we recently shifted

026towards Skyward for accounting initially >> and then I know that it was then slowly rolled out to some features in HR from what I understand. I don't know if it's rolled out more but I I I am aware that Skyward also does SIS's. So I'm curious if it would be worth our time to in like it's lovely when everything's under the same umbrella and so I don't know what those steps would be to figure out whether that makes sense. Um I did appreciate your response of even if we would move to Skyward, we're going to need overlap because you can't just take everything and upload everything in one day. It's impossible. Um but I don't know I I don't know if that goes to a committee. I don't know if that's suggested to Chris. I

027don't know how that works for next steps into looking as to whether or not that will be behoove us. >> Yeah, I think it's a good question and that is the other um when you look around the county uh actually multicount the region um Sapphire and and Skyward are the two primary student information systems. So um if we were going to switch that would be the first one that I would look at. Um in the past when we did this the first time around um there was a committee of uh all stakeholders um support staff, nurses, teachers, administrators um that provided input into that evaluation. Um what I had planned to do was not that in-depth um because then we were hurting and we needed something else. I don't think we're at that level of

028need right now. Um, but that's something that I would be open to us deciding, well, how exactly do we want to go about this evaluation? >> I would lean on you to kind of tell. I mean again whatever direction but um unless board members would want to be involved in that but I mean I think you coming and presenting to us what you your findings is completely acceptable. Correct me if I'm wrong anybody. >> No I I I like that idea too. Um the only thing that I would say as a mom in the district um if we're going to make a change like from away from Sapphire um it's a big change for families. So unless there is a significant need or financial reason I would say you know let's not fix it if

029it's not broken. That's my I had I had two questions. Number one is I see the the purchase order or the order was July 1st and we're just now getting around to paying it. >> Well, that's because I had to ask for it. >> Okay. >> To get it. Um it was Yeah, I I think um because it was that seven-year and now we're doing our first renewal. Um it was not something that was on I had it on my calendar for next year. Um so I had to reach out and ask for it. So that's why it is be we are behind on that but that's why technically like a lot of our agreements they do um expire J or July >> firstize us. >> No we will not be penalized for that. >>

030Okay. The other one was is it possible that we could have George's name taken off? >> Yeah we will do that as part of this agreement. I'll make sure that no problem. Bet. So, Chris, if we do go with Sapphire again, will they uh do they give us a better price? And is the renewal a seven-year renewal? It would t what they typically do now is a four a fouryear. And this one um was a six uh sorry, a 3% increase. If we did a 4-year, it would be a oneyear 6% and then years 2, three, and four would be flat. So, it is a better deal um to do a multi-year. >> Any other questions? >> Okay. Thank you, Mr. White. So, over the past number of years, as um the board knows the

031administration, we have been working with the Springrove Historical or Springrove Area Historical Preservation Society and their interest in purchasing the BSC property. um over the past uh few months as we are getting ready to u to vacate and we're anticipating that in 2026. Um the the historical society has been working um more now with their architects and their engineers uh and and and basically getting uh renovation plans as well as additional specs that they're developing. And what they're requesting is a letter intent from the district for us um to confirm um um the the property uh being sold to the historical so society sometime in that 2026 time. Uh this step allows the historical society to move forward with funding and planning while formalizing the district's intent. Um and one last thing I want to

032add is this is a letter intent. there would be an agreement of sale um to finalize the sale sometime in that uh in that 2026 time frame. So any questions on either the the background or the letter of intent? Okay, thank you. And then last I think I have uh you have the uh the election of the PSBA officers there. Um you have the list of um the officers slated for uh PSBA. Uh there's a short um biography and uh statement from some of the candidates and all the candidates um as typical are running uncontested. Um if there's any questions about any of the candidates or the process of of the school district voting u for the for the PSBA candidates, uh let me know. Um if not, we'll move them forward on the agenda.

033Mr. question. >> I'm going to I'm going to hop us back for a second to the letter of intent piece. Uh it said in there 2026, but we would need to vacate that building, but we've yet how where are we at with the moving into the YMCA? Like is that work out for the right timeline? Is that what we're actually thinking is going to happen? is >> so um the the YMCA is um looking at a um a final like a finish of around that January 1st, 2026. So um what Mr. Styles and I have been working on is a plan. Um sometime after that occupancy permit is granted to them, we would slowly move in um and and basically making sure that we would uh uh formalize like some of the offices like for

034example technology, making sure that uh moving over any type of uh equipment that isn't needed on a day-to-day basis uh and then doing a more formal move in that June July time frame. uh so that uh there's a lot of uh for example homeschool visitors uh ending of the year um making sure that you know parents know exactly where the administration office is located making sure we get that communication out to the parents so making a an official uh date of like that July 1st 2026 is our time frame for right now that would give us then a few more months to clean out the building uh and get that ready for sale to the uh to the society so yeah I don't think that we have we see any issues as far as vacating

035that building. Uh there may be just uh have to be a little bit of give with them on when we're when we maybe officially move out in July first and when they can start moving items in and what we can vacate. There's a lot of areas there um you know larger areas like the boardroom that we could easily give them space uh to move a lot of items in um prior to that time. We don't you know there's other than uh some meetings we don't hold our board meetings there anymore. So I I would think as we closer to that May June July time frame they could have access to those areas. >> Do we have a solution for because it's like a domino effect like we have we still have m we're still using

036the YMCA partially for some of our maintenance stuff. Correct. >> No. >> Oh we're completely out of there now. So the the only um this the space that the um that the ESC will owns um part of it is is occupied by technology and then the rest of it we are completely out of and it's being renovated. >> May I May I very quickly but it's my understanding the basement of the ED center has storage for the historical society at this time. current currently. Yeah, the school board gave the authorization for the historical society. So, they currently have items in there and u but yes, thank I forgot to add that. Yeah. Um all right, thank you for covering policy. We will move into personnel with Mr. Stein. You just made Doug very happy. >>

037Doug, >> no, don't say that. No, no, no, no. >> Yes. >> All right, moving on to curriculum with Mr. Baringer. >> Uh, looks like two items for Dr. Why don't you know? >> Yes, thank you. Um you have two memos um in front of you. Uh the first one is talking about summer school programs. Um as is typical at this time of year. Um get a summary of our summer school activities at the middle school and at the high school. Um it's in the typical format telling you how many kids were involved um in what subjects um and how su successful they are. Um, if you have any questions, I can address them. >> Steve, did you get it? Did you you see my email? I don't know if we saw saw my email,

038and I know that you didn't have a whole lot of time. >> Yeah, I you I guess I'll I'll go ahead >> ask the Sure. >> questions again, and then kind of response. I was curious um how necessary the summer school programs are. Um I was looking at >> the credits that are currently available in the block schedule. I did some back of a napkin math here. If kids have access to eight courses throughout one year and they're there for four years, there's an opportunity for 32 credits um that are available. And as a district, I believe it's 26 or 27 credits. And so there is a flexibility of seven credits or six credits. And so I was curious as to how many students are utilizing this program in in necessary to graduate or are

039we just are we providing this as a convenience and then overall what is the cost to the district to provide the convenience? I'm I'm not against I just kind of asking some questions. We started car which we we started charging this year and we have a plan to increase the charges each year um to to recoup some of that. To answer your second question first I Mark and I will work together to put together a total cost um with all the things that you mentioned um and and don't have that tonight but we'll get that to you. um to talk about the credits. Um it we are kind of in flux right now with with block because that the first year right now um it does change it a little bit. Um in my opinion,

040most of the students that do this summer school work um it is it's because they it's because they failed the course. So depending on how many courses they fail um and and their willingness to make it up and trying to stay with if they're trying to stay with their class um it is it is necessary for that. Um it also we have some middle school kids involved as well. Um so it you know as we get further into block maybe we want to reevaluate the credits and and do we offer this or not. Um, up until this point it's been kind of necessary for those students that that are struggling because it's their way to to catch up. Um, but we can look at the whole package when we get the financial piece together and

041and we decide this every year. You know, we can decide what we want to do for next summer um coming up here. I wonder if maybe it's something we can address in our curriculum meetings in the old news something just so I don't know does that make sense to >> it could yeah absolutely if we want to add it to the curriculum committee meeting uh agendas we can kind of keep you updated that way as well whatever you want >> just as long as it makes its way back to the full board. >> Yeah. Well right we would have to figure out what we want to do. And like I said, every spring we bring forth whether you know how we're going to run summer school, if if we're going to run summer school. And

042like I said, last spring we decided to start charging for the first time. And we have a plan to increase those charges each year. >> And how long have we been running summer school? >> I at the high school as long as I can remember. I don't middle school has been on and off over the years. And then co we of course we stepped it up a lot and we actually did some elementary as well because we were we were getting money um for that so it didn't cost us anything. Um but we've all the high school they've done credit recovery which is what we call their summer their summer school for longer as I can remember. the middle school level. We didn't have it for a long time. And our students, if they failed

043and needed it to to be promoted, would have to go to another school district that offered it and pay whatever they charged. >> Right. Moving on to athletics and music with Mrs. Wilson. >> Oh, sorry. We we Sorry. >> Sorry, forget one. >> Yeah, there was a second the second memo um summarizes just prek, this prek summer program. And again, this is the the typical uh uh memo that goes with the summer prek. As you know, each uh summer we run the summer prek for incoming kindergarteners who are we've already identified as needing the help and it's super successful. I know Mrs. Bomb has visited many times and it it is very very successful and those students when they leave that program are are very much more prepared for kindergarten and and are more successful

044as a result. I do like the idea that um the attendance rate was 89%. That's encouraging. >> Yeah. >> Has has there ever been discussion of running kind of a summer school credits don't exist in primary levels. Um I am my proclivity is like I I want to put a ton of money towards third grade and under. I mean, there's so much data showing that if kids are behind by third grade, it's really, really difficult, nearly impossible for them to catch up. And so, I was curious if there was ever discussion about running some sort of summer program for between kindergarten first, first to second, second to third, and what that would look like. >> We did it for a couple years uh coming out of COVID. We called it summer camp um instead of

045summer school. Uh but it was for the students that were struggling and needed extra help in math and reading. Um we did it for a couple of years um with our esser money. Um it wasn't super highly attended. Uh we had to talk um some students into it and it's there wasn't a huge demand. Um and then ultimately when the estim went away, we decided not to continue it. >> All right. Now tossing it over to Mrs. Wilson. >> And I'll turn it over to Dr. Renault um in regards to an overnight PIAA golf tournament. >> Thank you, Nikki. I appreciate that. Um just a real quick thing that will be on the September 22nd voting meeting. If we have PI if we have golfers who qualify for the PIAA next level, um they would

046be coming back and hoping that they could be approved to go to that. Right now we're looking at one or two, maybe zero, maybe more. As you know, it's a competition and they have to do so well. But that way, this is on the radar and we can move forward with it in a logical way. And the money is also in the budget um already. So, it's not an additional budget item for the year. >> Thank you. >> Um planning. Anyone have items for future agendas? I do have one and I know you >> I just have a quick one. >> Yeah. Hopefully, it's quick. It's more of a question as to how to address this. I asked the question multiple times and I don't know I don't know where it goes. Um is about

047our buildings and like the the bills staff and how we can kind of efficiently use them. Um just the money that is spent on HVAC is enormous and like how do we figure out or what committees need is it I don't know if it's budget and finance. I don't know if it's maintenance, like do we hire a person to do HVAC? Do we look at possibly contracting for a year or two to like bring our systems up to code? I'm not sure. I just know we spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on the HVAC systems just to try to maintain them. >> And I don't know if that's is that the best use or was that most efficient use of those those monies? Yeah, I think Bill, if you want to just do maybe a

048presentation of all that your department does and the limitations and you know expertise that are in your department and then we can go from there. I think that might be a good starting off point. Thank you. And then I was hoping maybe uh Dr. Peak and Mrs. Riddle could give us an update on the K through six math um and how that's going. maybe October. Don't want to add more to your plate, but would love an update. >> I think we have a curriculum committee scheduled for not this. It's in a couple months. It's already on the books. So, I >> we could present to the curriculum committee first. >> Something little, nothing major. I know because it was a big change. Okay. Anyone else? All right. expected. Right. Motion to adjurnn. Second. All in

049favor? Reading. being a journey.
