So, both of those were good recaps and um summarizations. Any others? Thank you. There's no legal report tonight. There's no TLN report tonight. Which brings us to item 13, directive school search process. [Music] Mr. Chairman, I'm going to excuse myself while you all have this conversation. Thank you. I think she might hear us if she's staying all standing out there with her. What I'd like to do with this is to have us discuss our interviews and candidates. And you can use your notes from the forums or you can say
005what you want to take in each one one at a time. Try to stay on the positive comments about each one. And if we got more that we need to discuss on the negative comments, we'll look at doing that. So let's start with uh the first one we interviewed, Dr. Shannon. [Music] There any comments or questions? [Music] Dr. Shannon had a lot of experience within the school system, public school system, seem to have a can do attitude. Mhm. Um and a lot of experience within the um CTE programs. I think a lot of his comments were really good about thinking outside of the box and and not necessarily afraid to make a decision and move forward with it and see where it goes. Um, those were some of the very positive things that I that
006I took from the interview. Same here. Agreed. I've got to say I was impressed by the fact, you know, a lot of times we see people supplementing income with a real estate license or something. He went to law school. That was very impressive. Yeah. Right. Very smart guy. Yeah. I really liked his interview. I think he's a good communicator. Yeah, I got that too. His rural similarity and the background is similar. So thought that would be very personable. Mhm. I agree with the other comments. Any other comments about Dr. Shannon? Not talk about Dr. Park. I think her interview was phenomenal. She interviewed extremely well, was very well prepared. I loved her folder she gave us thinking forward, telling us what her plan was, which I can't think I disagreed with any of it. Um,
007and I think she answered the questions when at when we asked the same questions, same candidates, I think that she um she was a little bit more thorough with them and giving us actual examples of what she had done recently and in the past. So, I kind of like that as well being I agree with all of that and she's been in a position where she's had a higher level of experience over the entire district. So, I think that pointed her more to specific answers for some of the questions that we were asking. Yeah, I agree. Um, I do like that she's been to the perspective director's academy through TSBA. That's a plus. And that she took some of that information and parlayed that into the the vice principal, principal, and administration. Yes. Training that
008she was working on. The knowledge wasn't just staying with her. It was funneling down. Mhm. Yep. Yeah. I really liked her interview and the answers. They were very thorough. Um, like Sherry was saying, um, different, um, but I think it was very good. Yeah. Yeah. I think one of the things that stuck out with me was a comment you made about preparing leadersh Mhm. Um, to me that was that's huge, you know, cuz getting people to step into the next position and and things. It's got to start somewhere and and being able to get that started and working those people up into into the different positions. I thought that was um it took a lot of forethought I think to get to that. So, and I also like the way that she cared deeply about
009like it for instance with the new science books making sure that the teachers are comfortable with it before they get going and they have everything they need to understand it rather than just going here's a book go for it. Yeah. You know, she's going to make sure that they were well prepared. Yes. I liked her plan and strategies to get her plan accomplished. I thought that was really thorough. Yep. Yeah. It seemed like she had a plan and everything for each question almost whenever whenever questions are over. Yep. I thought she did very well. I mean, honestly, considering that was her second interview with us, she had an interview interim and did not have to uh go to the same bag of tricks to Right. Yeah. Good point. to to you know, talk to us
010in in the second interview. I thought she did very well. And then the book was very helpful. I enjoyed seeing the uh the forethought and looking ahead instead of two foot in front of you looking 10 ft in front, you know. I've got a bunch of stuff written down. I just hadn't interrupt anybody. I I just thought that Dr. Farley interviewed well. uh she demonstrated that she understands many of the challenges we face in Cumberland County. Um I think her experience here gave her that uh step up on the other candidate. Um she seems to have a a lot of support from the community and staff and faculty here in Cumberland County. Um and she has some really good ideas about where we need to focus going forward, I think. So those were my comments.
011Any others before I speak list here, but I'll I'll quick with it. I think she's experienced at all levels of the system. She's very organized. She's dedicated to education and students. She's got lots of recognized achievements in education. She knows the community. She knows people. She's a skilled leader. She's proven performance as a interim. Yeah. She communicates very well written and orally and other means. She's very analytical, decisive, trustworthy. She knows the mission and the people. Got very full confidence in her. That's my comment. Agreed. I agree. So with that in mind, are we prepared to decide on person tonight? Yes. Yes. Yes. I believe so. I think so. So let's move to make a selection. I'll make a motion that we make a selection. I'll second it. Motion and second to take B. [Music]
012Not fold. Not folding it. I did not fold it. We just said we weren't folding them. No need extra step both ends. [Music] Everybody got their son ready? [Music] Mhm. [Music] Yes. Thank you for coming back here. Thank you. [Music] Madam Secretary, would you read the result, please? Elizabeth Stull voted for Dr. Rebecca Farley. Scott Van Winkle voted for Dr. Rebecca Farley. Sherry Nichols voted for Dr. Rebecca Farley. Chris King voted for Dr. Rebecca Farley. Shannon Stout voted for Dr. Rebecca Farley. John Matthews voted for Dr. Rebecca Farley. Travis Cole voted for Dr. Rebecca Farley. In a close one. Now we can have her to come back in. I believe Mr. Magnus is taking care of her. At least that's what he's told. Do you want to do this for her? [Music] Can we hand
013that into Diane? Yeah. Do you have your score sheets for the two candidates? I didn't put their name. Just to show you. Did y'all put their names on top, Chen? Yeah, I I just signed it and put my district of on the second page. Your name, but you didn't put their name. Um, I put their name. Okay. On the top. I didn't do that. And then I signed it. Put my district and the date on the back. Just so we know who that way, Miss Diane can keep them with our vote sheets and got all the Sure. So, what we're handing to Miss Diane right now is our summary sheets that we scored after each of the interviews. Um, so we've got that on record with our vote. Did we lose him? [Music] Well, he's
014not lost. He's outside that door. He's outside that door. She said, "Hold on." Congratulations. Item 13A is the I'm sorry, B is the discussion of the contract negotiator. So, what's the will of the board chair? I would make a motion that the board chairman be appointed to discuss the contract with Dr. Farley. I'll second that. Mhm. Feel the love. Other discussion about it, any recommendations? If not, then let's vote on the negotiator appointment. Those in favor say I. I. I. Those opposed say no. Think the eyes have it. Thank you very much. Got one question going into this process. We've got attachments I think that has the original contract of the last director. Mhm. And then there's an one that we were about to present updated with your thoughts and comments to make it better.
015Mhm. Which one do you want me to start with framework? I would recommend the most recent one that we stopped our work with Mr. McCardi on and we had I believe we had a couple couple of areas there that we were coming back to revisit on it. We had um the term of the contract that we hadn't decided on for sure. Mhm. Um the compensation we hadn't come to a complete decision on. And then we also had a couple options on the automobile the automobile allowance or the automobile um monthly provision that we hadn't decided on. Do you all have a range on the term one month to five years or what do you want? I believe state law only allows us to go up to four years and for the sake of continuity that
016would be my recommendation. Mhm. 3 and 1/2 years is the average. So somewhere between 3 and 1 half to four years since we're coming fiscal year. Mhm. Yeah. Where does that put us as far as at the at the end of the contract or whatever month when we would need That's a good question. It'll start July 1st. So it end June 30th. So maybe if we did from whatever date if we did it a half year and that way it puts it closer into like November, December time frame and that way that whatever board is is here will be here all the way up through the negotiation depending on the election and and all that stuff. You know what I mean? So as the boards change that's usually in August, September. Yeah, that's only giving
017them a couple of months to get to know the person. Well, I mean, normally with this process, if the term of the contract ends in June the 30th, we look at starting the contract renegotiation. Yeah. January 1st, that gives 6 months, come up with a solution and an agreement. Having it end with the fiscal year makes it cleaner for the finance department and all those folks and the school year. And school year. In the school year. Yeah. It would be difficult to if there did need to be a change doing it in the middle of the school year, right? Mhm. When we negotiate, she may only want two years. She may want three and a half. I don't know. You want to test it out for a shorter time. Yeah. But she might change. That's
018right. I'm I'm not in favor of the 4-year contract. I don't I think that puts a burden on taxpayers possibly in the future. So I I'm stated that the last time we went through the contract and I'm more in favor of the way some other surrounding counties handle it and and they actually vote on an whether they're going to extend it or not and at the last meeting of the year. Mhm. Um, so so like a three-year and then there can be a choice to extend. Yeah. Before right around that January time. Yes. Y that gives me the information I need to negotiate. Okay. on that. Now the compensation is a range from what to what a dollar to a mean based on districts that are similar size to ours based on Dr. Farley's experience
019education and her 26 years in the district. I don't believe we should start any lower than 130. It's kind of what I was thinking. 135 to 145. Yeah, that's that's even below some of the surrounding counties that have similar student size and even the average, state average for directors. I'd be okay with 135, but I if we do that, I don't think we need to consider a car right now with the budget crunch that we're in. Let's do a stipen for her car. Well, I think Well, I think we we already pay expenses for for travel. So, we pay mileage. Continue mileage. Yeah. Um, so some wiggle room then there. Salary versus car allowance versus what I need to know. We'll work from there. And on that note, not for discussion right now, but for
020future discussion, we do have a director's car that is not working any longer. Is that something that we can salvage to put money back in to put towards if we do determine that we need to put money towards the car for the new director? I think it's probably worth a hundred to salvage. You never know. It's worth more than that. Most of them do. Light it on fire. Make sure there's nothing but metal left in it. People need pieces and parts. get what we can. So, one point I'd like to to mention about that, if we're if we're going to do the lower end of of the salary range, and even if we're not really, I feel like the position needs a vehicle because of the liability point about checking roads. If she's in an
021accident checking roads, it's on her insurance. So, if she's in a department vehicle or government owned vehicle, it'll show up on her DL history, but it won't affect the rate of her vehicle insurance. We're expecting her to be out on icy roads. I just feel like that that would be a kind of a fair thing to to provide. Yeah. I've I've always been in favor of because we because we have the expectation of her being on call at any point in time during day or night or whatever. um being in a in a county car or our our vehicle to me just makes more sense for us um instead of her having to use our own personal vehicle and things like that from so I don't disagree with anything you guys are saying but we
022need to I guess add that to the capital list. Yeah, we have not budgeted for a new vehicle on the budget. Yeah. So we have that we'd have to take a look at that. I mean it's a benefit to the employee for sure to do it that way and that would be the preferred way to do it. So is it something we need to do for for the office for the position contract? I think that should be discretionary for the director if if they're not using it and it could be used by uh staff or administrators or I think I don't think it should be isolated just to the director if it's a county vehicle. That's what I'm asking. Yeah, there other thoughts other pieces that I need to be aware. If not, that's what
023I will work with. Okay. Yeah, I think those are the three pending areas. If everybody else is good with what we had settled on in the other areas, there was nothing else we needed to redress. The next question is, we're saying we wanted this person in place with a contract by J July 1st. That's right around the corner. Yeah. Mhm. Do we want to have a special call meeting sometime between now and then? I'm absolutely good. Contract. Yeah. If she's ready. Yeah, I'm absolutely good with that. Once y'all are ready, we Let's get it going. We'll be ready. Definitely. Give me some prospective dates if you'd like to be that. [Music] pretty much gives us uh next week one day except for Monday the 30th. Yeah. How soon do you think y'all would will be
024able to meet that? I don't know. We haven't negotiated yet. No, I think we can come up with an agreeable thing to bring back to the board whenever y'all are ready. If we could do something as early as 4, starting at 4, I'm available Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday. We can do something at 4:00. I go back any day next week. It's not any day. Not available Monday. Not available Monday. Might be a little early anyway. Wednesdays are usually good for Mal, but we're looking at Wednesday for now. Wednesday. Wednesday. Okay. Tenatively Wednesday at 4. That's good because that was TSBA schedule to announce the director to that line. We'll have it all dialed in. Okay. Hopefully have it all in the car. So that's my phone, but I'll make it. We'll
025figure it out. Somebody will have to get kicked to the car. Miss Diane, would you let KSBA know we've made our choice? I will. Say 4:00 Wednesday. Mhm. Next Wednesday at 4. Next Wednesday. Wednesday the 25th at 1600. All right. Now, Dr. Barnick, he can back. Bring her back. We'll congratulate her without contact. She has it. They're in round. Chronicles already scooped this. That's right. You get your camera ready, Jessica. Get a action shot. [Music] Let's [Music] go get them. Were they working their way this way? They were walking for her office. Oh, here they go. Congratulations. Congratulations. Thank you. You don't have a contractor able to call and we couldn't go any further. You're reporting them. Okay. So, next we have the uh meeting dates for the 2526 school year. Uh we talked about
026these last Thursday. Have had a few adjustments based on uh obligations that the board has. We do need to uh vote on this and approve it. Need a motion to approve. I move to approve. Second motion and second. Mr. Cole, no further comments. No, looks like we're out. Any other comments? No, sir. All those in favor say I. I. Those opposed say no. The eyes have motion approved. Next, we have the consolidated funding application. Uh, this is our U federal programs. It contains um our special education uh title one funding. Um and we need to approve this. It needs to be submitted in e plan. I move to approve this. Second. Motion in second. Mr. Cole, you got to get this sent in. I believe we're on a timeline. Yes, sir. It's due July 1st.
027Yeah. And there's there's been a lot of discussion about some different areas of and um I think at this point we're fairly dialed in. It's already been approved by TDOE and correct and we've got to put our stamp on it and then I guess there'll be some more discussion for next year's round. Absolutely. Are there any revisions planned? Um I know there's some monies that are not planned at this point that are not in the CFA. So there has to be a revision, right? Yes. And I I think we will have some of those uh waiting on some uh personnel changes that we've had and trying to figure out how we're going to proceed with those. So probably have to be at least one revision. Yes, sir. Do you know how much money that in
028in entails? Not at this moment. Okay. When when will we be able to hear about that? Uh I hope uh by next week. Um waiting on some hiring decisions and things like that to be made. Did you get any feedback from Miss Thompson on the this afternoon? I haven't got to read it, but I will forward that to you at the end of this meeting. I'll send it to y'all. So maybe at the next work session, we would hear any of the revisions that need to take place. Absolutely. If not before then on a Monday in a Monday email. Great. Okay. Thank you. Mhm. Okay. Any other discussion on 14B? Seeing none, let's come do a roll call. Mr. Cole, yes. Mr. Matthews, yes. Miss Nichols, yes. Miss Stout, yes. Miss Stole, yes. Mr. Van
029Winkle, yes. Mr. King, yes. Mrs. have it. Uh, next we need approval to put the little receiver box for Ben Lman for internet on Crab Orchard's campus. I move to approve that one as well. Second it. Motion and second, Mr. Cole. I have worked with Ben Lman on a similar agreement on a county property that that I oversee. They do a very good job of making it not look bad and it's providing a critical service to our citizens. So, I feel like it's an appropriate move on their part. Yeah, I did owe that. I've been working with Ben Lman for years and they are reputable. Do what they say and say what they do. So, it would be a good thing. That's true. Yeah, I know. Other comments. Wish I were getting it. Okay. Mhm.
030Oh, well. There are no other questions or comments. Call the roll, please. Miss Nicholls, yes. Miss Stout, yes. Miss Stole, yes. Mr. Van Winkle, yes. Mr. Cole, yes. Mr. Matthews, yes. Mr. King, yes. Yes. Have it. Thank you. Uh next um two years ago I think uh there was a grant that was written for a book bus u and this bus has been donated by transportation and um we are getting it refurbished. So in the summer when we do the summer feeding programs this bus can go with that uh into the communities and kids can check out books and have access to books and have stories read. So, um, uh, Mr. Shoel at the library has been working, uh, with Dr. Spike on this, and she had applied for a grant with the Fairfield Glade
031Ladies Club and received $2,500 and she's asking for us to accept these funds. Motion to approve accepting the funds. Yes. Second. Motion and second. I think it's fabulous. $2,500 for the books. Yes, Mr. Matthew, I I think it's a great idea being able to go get around kind of like the ice cream truck. Some of these kids are just needing some needing some input through the summer access. Having access to it makes it great, especially in the rural areas. So, thank you to the Fairfield Glade Ladies Club. Yes, they do good work. There no other questions, comments. All roll, please. Miss Stout. Yes. Miss Stole. Yes. Mr. Ban, yes. Mr. Cole, yes. Mr. Matthews, yes. Miss Nicholls, yes. Mr. King, yes. Yes. Thank you. So, next is an agreement uh between the school system and
032Rome State. Uh if you remember from last week, what this is is we would allow nursing students to come in and work with our school nurses and they would it's kind of like a practicum and they would get hours for that. And you had mentioned TCAT. We do this currently with TCAT. Yes, ma'am. That's awesome. Motion to approve the Rowan State nursing program agreement. And I'll second that. That's awesome. Motion and second. I think it's a great program. the fact that we already have guidance and guidelines set up working with TCAT, I think we can absorb this and get some more nurses out there. Yeah. Yeah. We need them. Awesome. Make the help we can get, right? Yes. Absolutely. Our school nurses are awesome. So, they're going to be able to share their wisdom with
033these kids. It's going to be awesome. They'll get lots of practice. Kids coming and going, right? Yeah. Lots of practice. Yes. Yep. My only question, I guess, is kind of for Marsha. Does this add a whole lot to you to your plate? Cuz I know that you your plate's already full all the time anyway. So, they will be indirectly supervised by me, but no, it doesn't add anything. I work with a Rome State and they are actually the with having the new nursing uh wing on the Rome State campus here in Crossville, it's going to be well beneficial to our kids and our future nurses. I'm all about it. Great. Any other questions, comments? If not, those in favor say I. I I opposed. No opposed. Sorry, I motion carried. So, next we have the
034Crossroads Academy proposal. We talked about this uh last week. You did have a pack at your desk. Um the first uh item in your pack is um information that we collected regarding um insurance and liability uh from Tennessee Risk Management. I felt that that was important for us to do. I did meet uh with Miss Brock and she explained how her insurance works and everything, but I didn't feel I was doing my due diligence if I didn't check for the school and our standpoint. So that's what the first page is. Um the second page is um Chris McCart's uh guidance on what is an underutilized property of the school system because when I was at Fall Creek Falls last week at a conference, this was a bill that was discussed and I just wanted clarification
035on exactly what underutilized is and you can see he has two there's two definitions there as to what that typically means. The next items that you see are letters of support for the program. The first one is from the uh Upper Cumberland Development District. And then uh you had three or four different parents write in. I think there was five parents, I'm sorry, that wrote in and there's their letters. Mr. Chair, may we ask Dr. Farley any additional questions without making a motion? I think so. Okay. Um Dr. Frley, in regards to the um definition that Mr. McCarti provided us. Mhm. And in looking at the bill, the state bill, um it says that the LEA in which one or more public charter schools or childcare agencies operate shall submit a comprehensive listing of all
036underutilized property or vacant property to the department of education in the controller of treasury. So my first question is have we have we done that? Do we have any underutilized or unused bacon based on the def based on the definitions that Mr. McCarti has given us? No. Okay. So, we don't have anything listed with the No, ma'am. Okay. Because then the next part of that was then the um public charter school or child care agency may petition the comproller of the treasury for an audit of the list or vacant property submitted by the LEA. Um and I so if we have none listed then that's not something that they can request. So at this point we don't have anything that meets that definition. No. When Miss Brock and I met what we what at that
037point was discussed until we got clarification on underutilized was something maybe that would be available in the afternoon. But so is this something we need to put on or postpone? Um, is that something that you could check on with administrators and see if there's a availability for that or you don't don't think there is availability for that? Well, I mean, obviously their program runs from 2:30 to 6:00. So, you know, we we are going to have some classrooms that wouldn't be used. I mean obviously you know so um I can definitely check and see um and would be happy to do that and come back to you uh at the work session in July and let you know. Yes. Okay. So I make a motion a motion to postpone um information 14F to the work
038session and the board July board meeting. Yeah. Motion second. I just think we need a little more information because certainly if it's something that we can help with, they're helping our students and the children of the community. So, it' be wonderful, but we need to make sure that we've got um property that would work properly and provide safe access during those hours that they need. I'd echo the same estate. I know there's a need for after school programs. This one looks to be beneficial, but we got to make sure that it's done right and completes what they're needing it to do and not causing us any undo hardships. If we're able to go ahead and find space in the schools, um then one of the next steps would be for us to go ahead and
039that we would decide on a it's a rental fee or a lease option. Mhm. A lease agreement. Mhm. So, we'd have to give approval for them to move forward with coming together on a lease agreement. Okay. So with the fact that school will be starting then here in August and we wouldn't be discussing this until July, is there an amount that can be discussed in that time frame um and brought back to us? Can I can get with Miss Brock. She and I talked I don't she has an amount that she's currently having to pay where she's at. Um, and uh, she has some ideas and she shared those with me. But until you all feel a little bit more comfortable and we get some more information, I'd rather not share that with everybody. Okay.
040Is the space you needing and I know that that's part of our problem, too, but it wouldn't necessarily have to be a designated space all the time. You know what I mean? So she is she mobile enough to you know come in and utilize a space for an afternoon for the for the evening or whatever or is she needing more of a designated classroom type thing? Uh probably I mean she has cabinets that have rollers on them that she could move in and out. uh I think probably would prefer um a area that she could go to like as her um item says that you know they had designated areas that they did crafts one time and then they did they got to go outside and play so that's going to be something we would
041have to be mindful of is close to a playground. Um and then uh they also had a place where they did homework. So you know we'd have to have maybe a couple rooms for sure. So, a couple rooms in storage carts. Mhm. Other discussion, questions. No, it's a good program. The motion is to postpone for further information. Those in favor say I. I. Those opposed say no. I have postponed the morning. Uh next uh is approval of the school nutrition packets and both of them are there. That's her bid renewal packet and then the agreement to administer the school nutrition program. Motion to approve the school nutrition packets for the 2526 school year. We'll second that. Motion and second. M not much to say on it. Looks like all the information was there. Okay. Any
042other questions or discussion? Keep going. Call the roll. Miss Nichols. Yes. Miss Stout. Yes. Miss Stole. Yes. Mr. Ben Winkle. Yes. Mr. Cole. Yes. Mr. Matthews. Yes. Mr. King. Yes. Yes. Have it. So, next is um a request to accept grant funds from volunteer energy for coordinated school health and Miss Pollson. motion to accept the grant for CSH. I'll second. Motion and second. It's done. Thank you to VAC customer share. We can put the 700 to good use. Mr. Matthews, that's nice. Great. Can I add something right here? Yes. So, what this um customer or the share program is is on your electric bill, you can round up to the nearest dollar and they take those funds and they turn around and give them to organizations for grants. So, you know, if you can spare
043that, that might be a great thing for you to do. Yep. Good idea. Thank you. Mhm. The motion is to accept. Call the role, please. Miss Stout? Yes. Miss Stole? Yes. Mr. Van Winkle? Yes. Mr. Cole? Yes. Mr. Matthews? Yes. Miss Nicholls? Yes. Mr. King? Yes. Yes. Let's have it. So, next is our summer program overview. Um, we didn't get started until June. Uh, the students did not go today. Typically, they go Monday through Thursday. They did not go today because of the holiday. Uh, but they will go tomorrow. Uh, 4 weeks, 4 days a week. And there are our numbers. And, uh, at the July meeting, we will have the expenses and expenditures for you all. No motion. Nope. No, that's just information. At the last uh meeting when we were uh talking about
044different things, McKinstry came up and uh we gave you a data sheet um explaining uh when you would recoup your cost and how all of that worked and that was what the next item was. You had that last week. Um that was just kind of for your information. Um and then uh supplement discussion. Um it had been asked about adding a supplement at the elementary level for student council and that's when I gave you those supplements and uh all of the information that we had here based on supplements. Those supplements um if you look at the budget it was it said that those were revised in 2020. So, might not be a bad idea to look at those. And then, um, next is our annual planning calendar. I think we pretty much have everything completed
045for the month of, um, June. There were a couple things that I noticed on that that um our board self-evaluation needs to be done. So that's something that we may want to get going with TSBA on. Mhm. Um so they can get that out to us electronically. And then um with us being in the process of bringing on a new director, um the director evaluation rather than leaving that out there is still pending. was wondering if we wanted to go ahead and get that marked as disregard task for at this time this year. The only thing about that is we don't have a color for that. Thought I saw a little I thought I saw a yellow disregard task. Okay. Sorry. That's where I got it from. Wow. Didn't know we had a disregard. That
046That's an easy fix on stuff, right? Just disregard. Disregard. Uh and then next is just the FYI items. You have your uh memorandum of understanding. You have some safe school counseling data uh coordinated school health report and then you have your personnel report, substitute list, school news articles. And that takes us to 15. Uh and these are policies that have TSBA changes on them. I think there was 29. Is that correct? We did remove three, so we have 26 to approve. And I just want to remind you, these will be first and second readings. Once you approve these tonight, they will go into effect tomorrow. None of these changes were done locally. They're all these are all wait. The only local request would be tobacco free schools. You will see that all in blue. Nurse
047Bolson is asking for that to be to read that will be a tobaccof free campus instead of putting a perimeter like a a foot boundary around it. Just the canvas the whole campus would be instead of 100 ft from the front door. So parking lots and everything but correct. Okay. Okay. That's the only So that's the I noticed that was the only blue one. So that's why I ask the rest were all DSBA model policies based on legislative changes that have now been signed into law. Mhm. Correct. Okay. We do need a motion on that. Okay. Motion to approve first and second reading of policies minus 5.110. Yep. 6.312 6.312B. Correct. Got a motion. Do it. I need a second. I'll second motion and second. Now heard the discussion all TSBA other than the tobaccof
048free campus um we need to make these adjustments for the new legislation it's been signed into law. No further comments. Any other questions or discussions? Do a roll call. Miss Stole. Yes. Mr. Van Wiggle. Yes. Mr. Cole. Yes. Mr. Matthews. Yes. Miss Nichols. Yes. Miss Stout. Yes. Mr. King. Yes. Yes. Miss. Thank you. Chief Financial Officer Report. We need to put you closer. [Laughter] There's nothing wrong with that back corner. It's a tripping hazard. Workman's calm. Well, nothing has really changed since last week as far as the financials and the sales tax. I do have some news. Um, we open the bids for our fire alarm system. It was awarded to a local contractor, Everard Electric. Good. And the better news is they both came in a bit under what we had. All right. So,
049we're about $81,000 to deposit. We got our final allocation for prek. Basically, what we got last year, just a few thousand more, but we'll take it. Um, sales tax, we're still running ahead the prior year. I kind of forecast that it's going to come in basically where it's been budgeted. I think that Oh. Oh, insurance. I finally got the pricing on insurance. Average average was 5%. However, however, we do have plans that came in over the 5%. Hley County, it's going to be roughly about a 6% increase annually, which will probably save us around $100,000 on an annualized basis. But that's based on the census as it said at the end of the school year. Okay? So, if we have people that come in and you know, plus children, that's going to make a difference.
050If they come in, they take single coverage, it's going to be to our advantage. But I just simply used the census numbers that were in effect at the end of the year. But that is good news. Is it a bit better than what we had expected? Okay. But we're still within budget. We are still within budget. And I think Miss Tammy may had a budget. She did. Mhm. This is just a cleanup amendment. If you got any questions, she's here. She'll be happy to answer for you. But I think she had to call in an outside contractor to reprogram a dishwasher. I think that's what she told me. So she had to get that from the outside. So she had to move a little money around. Okay. Motion to approve the 143 budget amendment for
051the commodity delivery. I'll second. Motion and second. [Music] No. No comments. Thank you. Any other comments or questions? Just glad your dishwasher is broken. Do it without it. Yep. Pardon. So the motion is to approve 143 budget amendment. Madam Secretary, call the RO, please. Mr. Van Wiggle, yes. Mr. Cole, yes. Mr. Matthews, yes. Mr. Nichols, yes. Miss Stout, yes. Miss Stole, yes. Mr. King, yes. Yes, it's that moves us on to the consent agenda. Motion to approve. I move to approve the consent agenda. Second. Motion and second. All those in favor say I. I. Those opposed say no. The eyes have it. [Music] Questions from the media. Any other comments or questions? Anybody? Thank everyone for being here and having a good meeting. Thank you. Meeting is a journ. [Music]
