001in Congress. She loves Congress. Congress be comfortable. You haven't had this improved. >> Well, 95% of this >> bleed all overbody. It is 7:01. We do have a form pres. We will uh open with a prayer here. Father God, we thank you for today and the things you recently blessed us with. Thank you for the time that we have to uh spend time on school and help us to keep in mind that these kids are our first priority. Dear God, pray that you uh help us to make wise decisions and consider all all possibilities in making those decisions. Dear God, I pray that you uh watch Keep us safe and forgive us because we do fall short of your glory with our sins. In Christ we pray. >> Is there anyone signed before the public
002forum? >> Hey Cardinal Spotlight. >> Well, this month we wanted to recognize our FFA kids and things that they've been doing this summer with their conferences and leadership events. But u this week's also a teacher conference week and is gone and most of our faces are going to church camp. So we will recognize them in word um because they are not here to um to represent >> superintendent report. First up on there is our property insurance. I think that's the it's just informationational showing you that our insurance is again going up. Not as much as it has previously. Um but but still going up a bit for our property insurance. Um our health school health insurance also going up 12%. um just necessary expenses that are that are going up to increase next year. I
003think the year before last did it jump up like 70,000 or something. >> Last year was it was like 45. It was a big jump. Um this year it'll be going if we do the wind and hail buy down it'll go from 26,000 to 217. So it's a lot less than last year. >> So 11 11,000 and we do the wind and hail just because that's our you know our biggest weather threats. >> Is it not yours either? >> What >> the budget update? I wonder if it did. Yes. Okay. I have it. I had it printed. >> Our budget update. It's It's right on. It's right on. I mean, I think we're in maybe 92 thinking off the top of my head. Yeah, we're we're right now we're at 91.86% at this time last
004year 91.74. So, we're just right on track with where we have been, where we're supposed to be. As far as board meeting dates, we'll have to have two next month. We'll have to for the tax rate and the budget to be 10 days apart. So, we're looking at the 11th and the 25th. >> Yes. posted for 10 days. >> So, we'll have the 11th and the 25th, but not the 18th. >> Right. Okay. >> Everybody good with that? >> I'm good. Okay. >> Yes. Property insurance as a whole though only went up 3%. >> Yeah, it was a whole lot more last year. >> Yeah, >> I think I think insurance is >> especially property insurance. I think they're hurting. I think they've overextended. We went out for new property insurance and we had everything
005from a quote from 13,000 all the way up to 77,000. >> Yeah. >> It is a huge job. >> All right. Principal report. >> Okay. Um school supplies they are here. Foundation has paid for that. It is sitting on the stage. So, we're going to get that sorted here in the next couple of days. So, students that when they show up, they just show up. They'll need a backpack, lunchbox, and prek kinder will need a nap mat. Other than that, we've got everything else for them. And we've put that out to parents. So, they are very pleased with that. A lot of them are going on there and helping teachers. They'll do like an Amazon buy kid or, you know, an online. A lot of them are just taking the money and doing that to
006help the teachers. But I know the foundation gave 300 for each classroom teacher, too. So, it's going to And then they'll also the teachers will get school supplies as well, a box of here's your stuff to get started. So, it's going to be we're going to start out better than we ever have. Um, I was at the last meeting. I was at my principal's conference. Uh, I talked with Yonder, that's the ones who have the pouches. Um, talked to them today again. They are working on getting those in the mail to us. Um, so we'll talk about our cell phone policy as well. Um, they'll when a kid shows up at 7:30, they'll put that in the pouch. It'll lock and then they'll carry that with them all day. That'll be cell phone, um, cell
007phone, smart watches, AirPods or headphones. Um, so they'll be able to keep that all day. At the end of the day, we're working on getting a box that automatically unlocks on a time and they'll put a magnet to it and it'll open automatically. So, we are working on getting all that logistically to work, but I think it's going to be good for our kids. It's going to be good for our staff. It's going to be easier to implement it. The first two weeks is going to be difficult because it's going to be different, but I think it's going to be once we get them trained, I think it's going to be okay. But those are on the way. Each kid will have their own. They'll be assigned to them. Um, so we used some money
008from DAP that we didn't use last year to pay for that. So, didn't us, but it didn't cost us outside of our budget was kind of what we had. Um, all staff is hired. Uh, hired Samantha Sanchez for prek aid and then everything else is filled. Um, inservice will start August 4th for our staff. Meet the teacher is August 11th. That'll be 5 to 7:00 p.m. So, it'll be before the board meeting. Um, first day of school is August 13th. It's a Wednesday. Then enrollment looks to be of the kids that we revoke their transfer with new ones coming in. Currently, I think we're right at 258, which is about three more than where we started last year. It's about eight more than where we ended the year. So, and that we could be 265
009the first day of school. It could be 250 the first day of school, but 258 is the projection right now. I believe that's all I have for the principal report. Athletic report. Not a whole lot going on this month. Summer workouts. Um when they don't get hurt. Um girls are playing basketball here and there. Boys were playing football here and there. Six on six. Um and just getting ready for Tuesday. Starts in two weeks on the 4th. And cross country usually starts either given where it's school's starting so early, it usually starts about the first week of school now instead of um two days. And so um just getting ready for that. Got about projected 26 to 28 boys coming to play football. Um gosh, what did he say? Cross country. Did he say number?
010I think I um and so just getting ready to start >> 26 and 28 like high school. >> 26 to 28 somewhere in there. We're not sure. >> Just high school. >> Yeah, >> it's a lot. >> It's good though. >> Yeah. Our junior class and our freshman class is really good. operations report. Read you what Jerry sent. He's at church camp this week. All the painting in the school is done. Uh we'll have all the buses and vehicles completed by the end of this week. Uh thank you to Joe Taylor for helping us get the old school mode. He sent one of his small tractors. Mike said it wasn't a small tractor. They're in the middle of remoding the concession stand at the stadium. They we do still have a leak in the gym
011area. Uh Parsons is on the schedule to come back out to assess. Uh they they have a maintenance truck. It's a 2019 F250 with 45,000 miles that was purchased with that approval, I guess, back in May. Um we've taken delivery of the Transit and it's already been on a few trips. I think the coaches took it the first time. You the first ones to take it. >> We were the M just strong for the Allar game. It's awesome. >> Way awesome. >> It's the best vehicle maybe I've ever tried here. >> It's definitely better than the white bus we have. It's >> way better. >> That's all for operations. >> Okay. >> Discussion 5A will be discussion of the student handbook. 2526 student handbook. So handbook. I got this I think Thursday because so 90%
012of this in here the state sends us what the model is. Um I got it Thursday. So that's why y'all didn't get it any earlier. Um but it's not for action. It's just for discussion. Two things I want you to look at. Grading policy and my page numbers are incorrect. um grading policy at the bottom. It's page 29. Class rank highest ranking student. Added a few little things in there, things that we were already doing or needed to do. Um such as it will not be calf, it'll go we'll add the 10 points, which it was not written, but it needed to be. So, we just went ahead and wrote it in there to clear it up. Um, when we figure class rank, it didn't say in there, but or it said after fifth six
013weeks, but it didn't say anything about dual credit. We added dual credit will be counted. So, it'll be after WTC posts their official grades is when we'll figure it. Um, and nothing will come out until I sit down and check it, double check it. So might have another staff member that doesn't have a kid involved that knows the formulas can just put eyes on it as well. So before that any any of that goes out, we'll check that. Um I believe that's all I changed on it to try to clarify and clear things up. I put the example in there of the added end points what that would look like. The other part is dress code. It was what was here before me and Mr. Elby got here. We've never given any direction of changing
014it. I've had direction to change it until those recommendations. Uh see if I can find >> 39 um 39 and 40. If y'all want to go through and read that, you don't have to right now. But if you have any questions, comments, concerns, let me know. We can adjust that. Um, biggest thing on dress codes, it's what the community standard is. Um, and every community is different. That's why the state leaves it up to local. So, but you don't have to if there's something you get home and you look at it and say, "I don't want that or we need to add this." You know, shoot me an email, come by and see me. We can get that kind of edited and changed and get a gist of where we need it to be. So
015on cell phones, you know, the states come out and said no cell phones during instructional time. Um but they've left the consequences up to us. On page 41, um it has all the legal jargon and then it says that 7:30 to 3:30 they cannot be on them. If they do get a phone taken up, AirPod, smartwatch, they go to three days of ISS and the parent or guardian must pick up the cell phone. Um it used to have the $15 added in there. I didn't think that was the main thing is that they don't do it again and the $15 wasn't deterring them. Used to when phones were $10 that $15 meant something. Now when the phone's $600, $15 doesn't change. So we took that out and a parent or guardian must pick up the
016cell phone. So um if they get a second offense, then we add a day and they go to four days of ISS. And when they're in ISS, they can't do athletics, they can't play, they can't do anything like that. So, it'll take somebody to get their phone taken up or get a burner taken up or picked up and you'll be sitting over there and can't participate anything. So, it'll take a few kids to learn, but then it'll be done. Um, if they damage or lose that pouch to replace that will be $40. So, questions, comments, further discussion. We'll move along to the uh 256 employee handbook. Again, this is a, you know, mostly a TA has be produced document. U, you'll see highlights in there are really a lot of the edits that that get
017updated every year. U, so there's not a whole lot of changes in the employee handbook. mostly names, dates, things like that. But we did add um we kind of talked about it at a previous meeting, an employee dress and grooming uh policy. Um I pulled up ours online and it's one sentence long. um says an employes dressing grooming should be cleaned neat in a manner appropriate for his or her assignments. Um so I reached out to a lot of area schools say hey what does your employee address code look like? And then I well we don't have one you send us yours when you get it. So, so I I kind of took a lot of different um a lot of different examples and combined it into this employee dress and grooming standard that's obviously
018more than one sentence long. Um, and it's not really much of anything that we're not already doing, but it just provides more um more guidance than a one sentence um neat, clean, and manner appropriate for position. Um, so generally the the exceptions to the general guidelines are, you know, if you're, you know, out on an athletic field teaching PE, if you're in the A about cce things that are determined by what you do during the day. Uh custodial maintenance, transportation, but everything else is generally you know more well I say more restrictive but you know definitely identifiable as as a professional above the student dress code. So this this is the main addition to the employee handbook. That makes it more enforceable. >> We've been doing that, but I just handed Mr. Marman, a note
019regarding the employee handbook calls out leggings and they need to have a shirt down to mid thigh. The same thing needs to be said in our student handbook as well. >> I don't think it does, but what we've done. >> Yeah, >> but we like biker shorts and all that too, right? >> Anything tight. >> At least we want body parts covered. >> I tell the girls like you don't want to see me in that. I don't want to see you. >> Further discussion, questions, comments on the employee handbook. >> Any questions, comments, or discussion from the employees that are here? >> Still can't wear shorts to class. [Laughter] Okay. Um 2526 athletic handbook. Kind of the same thing. Not many changes, just really dates. Um open to change, open suggestions. Worked out really well.
020The only change we made last year was under moment please. It was the quitting dismissal. Um, so we that's on the second to last page. The only thing that we had added in the previous year was the dismissal. We just had quitting on there and the kids were like, "I didn't quit. They kicked me off the team." And coaches were like, "Well, you quit." No, you kicked me off. And so it became a, you know, a technical loophole. And so the thing only thing we really changed last year again was adding dismissal to that. Um, didn't have any really issues last year. Um, there's a couple times we had to enforce some rules and some some discipline actions. Um, but other than that, no real issues based off of what was written. >> Again, questions,
021comments, further discussion. So on the quitting um that's just for that one calendar year, right? >> Correct. >> So it's not for the next correct year coming up, they don't have to run 15 miles before they >> So like if somebody quits basketball >> last season, they want to play basketball this season coming up, >> then they would have to to to be reinstated. They would need to run that. They can't say, "Oh, I quit now." Because they're still in our athletic program. can't just quit. Just we'll welcome you back >> for the next year. >> I thought it was a sport. Like if you quit basketball, you couldn't play baseball. >> That's how I thought that's how it used to be. >> That's how it's been, but >> um I think the way it
022reads is the next sport. So by definition, you know, this the next sport they play. >> So they quit basketball, they have to do this before they play baseball. >> Correct. Correct. They get a grace period like >> Right. Right. I think it's a oneweek grace period and it's hey you want to come out and play. You hate it and you decide you want to quit. No problem. Also, there's a grace period that we might need to add in there that a kid's going to get mad. They're going to have a bad day and they're going to walk off that field and they're going to quit or walk up that court. They're going to quit. Again, we usually have what's a 24 what we call a 24-hour grace period. Now, you had a bad day.
023Heck, I had a bad day, right? and um let's talk it figure it out and we usually bring them back. They have to you know do a little running for misconditioning or whatever you know >> definitely needs to be added. >> Yes, I'll do that. >> Then coach tell me if have we had before like when a kid does that we contact parents and let them in the loop so we can all sit and talk >> day of Oh yeah. I've gone to houses. >> Yeah. Cool. Further questions, comments, discussion, budget workshop. Is that Marcy or is that It's not beautiful. >> See this? I turned it on. >> It's really small. >> I'll just >> So this document here is three documents. Uh these are the last three years of school finance. Um, so
024basically school funding is almost entirely student enrollment. You know, you get money per kid and that's weighted depending on what program they're in. So bas 2 funding for that kid. Um, if you got a special ed student, you get 1.5 funding. If you got a kid in a culinary, um they're they're weighted higher than just a regular student. So, um our seats and seats is depends on it shows how much money we get. Um so, this first page is 2324. Um you notice on line 57, I'll scroll down to these guys. Um that is how much state aid we get. $166,000. That's how much we get from the state. And why we don't get very much from the state is because we're property wealthy. So we essentially keep more of our tax revenue um from
025local taxes. So line 66 there is our tax revenue 3.25 million. So this is 2324. Um, if you look at the very bottom line, 71, that's our recapture payment. Um, you know, $900,000 for 2324. Uh, 2425. Next line. Um, same setup. You know, we'd get a little bit more money from the state, 180,000. Um, our recapture payment was 1.3 million. Basically, we only get to keep the money that the state says we can keep. We don't get to keep all our money. And there's no way to say, "All right, we're not paying you." Um because they'll the state TA, they'll get their money this year. It's all it's all still subjective u because you know this is a fluid document because our enrollment changes. You know, if we lose a kid, we lose some money.
026If we gain a kid, we gain some money. If a kid goes from one CTE program to regular, then we lose some money. U Mr. Mr. May does a good job of making sure all of our kids are in CTE, um, which is career technology, uh, which is Coach Gibson's class, Miss Miss Gibson's class, Miss House's class, because when they're in CTE, we get extra 1.15% of the basic a lotment. Uh so this year uh got a state of 145,000. This projects property values to decrease which we won't know for about four more days. U but it's showing now this is very tentative. So >> that it's showing our recapture payment is $200,000. Um but you know like don't >> that be nice. >> Don't fet on that. I don't I'm taking a picture. Put
027it on Facebook right now. >> Marcy said >> no. We don't have certified values yet. >> Marcy said we're rich now. >> When become official big fancy guess. >> When is that locked in like become official? >> Never. >> Yes. >> We just finalized uh 2324. That made me pay another $965 recapture. >> Yes. after they finish all their calculations >> just like everything else. >> We didn't get enough so we're going to send you another bill. >> Yeah, they sent me two more. >> Good. >> After that year was closed for us. They decided I mean their calculations go in the next year and so they will still bill you for a prior year when they finish all their calculations. >> So our main revenue source is kids organized. Our main expenditure is instruction.
028You know, teachers, >> construction, you have any questions about this year-to-year comparison? Like I said, it it changes almost daily and not a whole lot, but I mean, it it all depends on on your enrollment. When you look on that last page, it's comparing each of the years in those last three columns. And you can I mean, especially the recapture amount is swung pretty pretty far. So this next sheet that Marcy That is our 199 fund. Uh if you flip it over, the first page is really really the important part. This this is the framework for this year's budget expenditures. Now, once it all gets once it all gets done and finalized, you'll get this broken down. Um, but these are the these are the the main breakdowns per function. Like when I said, you
029know, our biggest expenditure is instruction. That's where teacher salaries are right there. about 80 is about 80% of our budget salaries. >> Yes. I mean, this isn't all of our salary because we've got salary mixed in all of these, but that's the big bulk. >> Yeah. So, you have salaries also, you know, 23 41. >> If you look on I attached a detail to behind the 199. If you look on that second page of that detail, you can see the payroll cost for each of the functions. If you look on it's three and four. I kind of thought that I've never put this one in here. I found this report and I thought it was kind of handy. It'll show it breaks it up between the functions and then across here are the like payroll,
030contracted services, supplies, but it shows you this year the original budget and the next year recommended and the difference. So under payroll, you can really see like that's how much extra payroll is in this each of these functions because of the raises. This has the new raise information if y'all approve that that I wanted to have it so y'all could see it. questions. question, comments, complaints, items of observation to share with others. Okay. All right. So, uh, moving along to item six, action items, approval of the board's minutes. This is listed as one. So one approval will take care of all three of the meetings that we had. I'll make a motion and a second to approve the board minutes as written. Any further discussion? All in favor? Next item would be to approve payment
031of bills and investment report. [Music] Second motion and a second to approve the payment of bills and investment report. Is there any further discussion? All in favor? >> All right. Next up is to consider and take possible action on policy update EFB local which concerns library materials. >> Uh this first one is a is an update because we have our policy review in August. Um I had to do a questionnaire for our policy consultant. This was a policy that came up that she just said we needed to change because one of the questions was do you have a school library advisory council and we don't we don't have a school library advisory council. So u she said this is the policy we need to make our library policy reflective of what we're doing as well
032as u like all the new legislation on library book selection. So, so this policy is the task and policy update recommendation. It's just how we how we review library books, how we procure them, how um how they're accessed, how if there's any questions, um a review process. >> So, we'll have somebody review. >> Yeah. So, if there's a challenge, I mean, this explains the steps, too. you know, a lot a lot of bigger districts have a lot of this has been a hot topic in a lot of bigger districts, the library materials. U but this is just a way to be able to respond to any uh library related issues if if and when they come about. I'll make a motion. Is that Joe? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> So, we have a motion and
033a second to approve the EFB local library materials policy. Is there any further discussion? All in favor? Okay. Next to be considered to take possible action on policy update F local student admissions homeschool participation. >> So in this policy it's blue and underlined uh what you're voting on u it's about home school participation. A student enrolled in a private school including a home school shall not be eligible for concurrent enrollment in the district nor participation in curricular or extracurricular activities. U we I think there's home there's been homeschooled students in the district but none that have participated in in anything extra >> I think the only one that ever really entertained the idea was um John McCain's oldest daughter. >> She just graduated though, but all their kids now come to school. >> But that's
034the only ones that have shown interest in their home. >> But all the other kids come to school. >> Yes. >> Good kids. But we have no one requesting. >> No, no, no, no. >> No one has asked me, "Coach, we're home school. Can we come play?" >> Think about the home school. I've been asked this other coaches saying, "What are y'all looking?" >> Good recruiting method. >> That's what it turns into. I noticed that our our neighbors to the south have allowed that with the expectation of increasing their count. >> Yes, >> I think they have a pretty large homeschool population. >> They do. >> I don't know how they how do they enforce like rules and no pass to play. >> I don't know if that's been figured out yet. That's my concern.
035>> Accountability. >> How do you hold kids to the same accountability standard? That's not >> bad football coach come from New Mexico >> in New Mexico >> because they can't stand >> the rigor of that. He said, "I'm not." She said, "If you want to play, come to school here." >> Like, if you want to come and play, enroll in school here. >> Well, and I think it breaks up the team morale. >> Yeah. >> If you have people who aren't at school with them 24/7 and the, you know, >> I don't know if that kid's asleep at home while you're going to class. I mean, not that they are, but you don't know that. >> If we How many kids do we lose then? How many kids go I can play sports and stay
036at home? >> I think you >> Oh, yeah. >> I think you lose more than a hand >> because you did. I roll the two sports. >> You get 1,500 per kid per sport, but you lose $6,000. >> Mr. What are your thoughts on this? >> Uh my you know, I'm not against homeschooling anyway. It's just right now it's accountability. Uh how do you how do you hold homeschool kids the same accountability as and I I don't I don't think there's enough clear guidance on that yet. Um it's like you said no pass no play you know we we don't know how that's going to look how it's going to be enforced and I think some homeschool home schools do it right but in my experience a lot of home schools aren't as rigorous as
037you know regular school. So you're you're holding to different academic standards. And to me, extracurricular is extracurricular. You know, >> you got to be involved in curricular to do the extra. So that's just >> you put that on a t-shirt. >> Mr. Gman, what are your thoughts? >> I agree. Um, >> it just, you know, we were a big district and had a lot of problems. I could see him saying, "Hey, I don't want my kid in this. I want to homeschool." But we're real similar to a home school. We're real small. We're going to take care of you. Just come on. We'll take care of you. >> The one thing that I see is is that if we're going to allow homeschoolers to come in, yes, they're students, but they're students to their home
038school. They're not students to Hermley. Therefore, our policies don't fully apply to those kids and our athletic code of conduct has trouble applying to those kids. And so, we cannot hold those kids to the same standard that we hold our own kids to that are enrolled in school. >> I agree 100%. >> So, that's coming from a home school. >> Yes. Yes. And there was there was a time that my oldest son did want to play baseball up here. >> And and I I know you wanted him up here. He would have had fun playing baseball, but it's just exactly like Roie said, he didn't want to stop work to go play baseball. >> Sure. >> And the other issue was beards were not allowed then and he wasn't about to shave. >> So if
039you can't if you can't comply with all the rules that are set forth, don't apply. That's And you're right. I mean, we did homeschool him. We pushed him really hard. >> And a lot of kids, I mean, I'm not naive. A lot of kids come to school for a picture. >> Oh, yeah. >> They come to school to play football. >> And now you're telling kids to now you don't have to come to school to play football. >> Just I think it's just mixed mixed. >> I've told I've told coaches and people left and right, especially a lot of our kids, they come because they want to be with their friends. Mhm. >> They want the what's the word I'm looking for? >> Camaraderie. >> They want the con constructive criticism. They want the construction
040through the day or and then they just they want to be here and they want to play sports and they want to go to act trips and I think it's part of it's all fun. >> And I think too like home school has become really popular >> and they have actually homeschooled to where they can go play athletics. >> We play them some, >> right? So, they do have the chance to do athletics for home school and compete as homeschool students. >> All right. So our our item here is to consider and take possible action on the policy update student missions homeschool participation and it's already written into our policy that we do not allow that >> but we still need to approve the update for all the other things that are in that same
041policy. saying that they don't school. >> Right. >> Okay. I'll make a motion. >> I'll second it. >> So, we have a motion and a second to accept the student admissions homeschool participation policy as written. Is there any further discussion? >> That includes FFA and all that, right? Now if they want to show they can go through. >> Any further discussion? >> All in favor? 70. This next policy is just an add-on to that previous policy. It basically refers somebody that's looking at this policy to the FD local about home school participation. So this was about extracurricular absences. So the policy update for this one is just what's there in blue. That refers to the previous policy just passed. I'll make a motion in a second to approve the policy as written on student activities.
042Is there any further discussion? All in favor? All right. Consider taking possible action on policy local student personal communication devices. >> This policy is to implement the new legislation for student cell phones. just to add it to our policy. >> Joe and John, we have a motion and a second. Is there any further discussion? All in favor? All right. Considering take possible action on 25 26 salary schedules. All right. Salary schedules are approved every year. There there's quite a bit of changes for this year because of the new uh new legislation. Um, so basically, uh, teachers, and this is one you've seen a few times, but, uh, teachers with three and four years of service get an additional $4,000. Teachers above year four get an extra $8,000. So those were added on top of the
043percentage we are paying which is this column D. So column D is that is how much we're already paying over base is between six and 7%. So that new legislation is on top of that. U but also the state salary schedule increase. So here's the new state minimum in column E which it went up about 300 bucks. So if you just look at line five, the new state minimum or line new state minimum is 39230. The old state minimum was 3880. So, taking the the percentage increase above state minimum would put that teacher at 41,215. Adding the 8,000 per the legislation, that would put that teacher at 49,215. So, counselor pay scale is also based on our teacher pay scale. So that 8,000 we applied that there too. U there was also uh money added
044to our basic aotment to give everybody a raise. Um so what we did is I'll just pull up teachers aid for example. Um I essentially moved everybody up two steps. Um so just look at eight here. Step zero is at 1231. That was last year that would have been step three. Um so everybody essentially gets a 2-year step increase. Um and we added steps on top of what we were paying u to get to 24 and 25. Uh what what was happening with our step increases, they were kind of all over the place. Um, I'm not sure the formula that was in there, but u I'll just use aid for an example. Some years they might have went up 15 cents. The next year they might have went up 27 cents. Um, so the average
045aid salary step was 22 cents. So we redid all of these salary schedules to have the same jump every year. So it's not because I I noticed on one seller schedule they got like a one cent increase but but it doesn't change the average. Um so >> but it affects that person. >> Crazy. >> So everybody went up one to two salary steps. Um and I kind of made a cheat sheet um just to show an example. Um I just I just took I just took year 15 as an example. Um so this might be different depending on what year a person is and what the old salary schedule was. Um so at year 15 um last year a teacher would have been making $53,000. Um if they would have moved to year 16 with
046no changes, they would be making $54,000. U but because of the extra legislation now they're going to be making $63,000. So that's a 15% increase. Um that also affects the counselor. Um but because we didn't we didn't get enough we didn't get a whole lot of funding for you know non-teer and nonadministrator um raises. Um these are the percentage increases here for these different roles and it's and it's between it's between two and 4% but that that depends on um the old salary schedule um and the and the year that it's on. So this is just taking year 15 into account. U those percentages are are pretty fluid in that in that um in that range between two and 4%. So everybody um non administrators are getting the 2 to 4% increase. I think the
047stipens are also in here. So, here's the stop and salary um in addition to regular duties. And that nurse stipen we added last year because we divided up nursing duties between Miss Lamar and Miss Barry. A little bit. [Music] Motion to approve it. Second. We have a motion and a second to approve the salary schedules shown here in our board packets. Is there any further discussion? All in favor. >> All right. Next item will be uh considering take possible action on the 2526 student code of conduct. The student code of conduct. This is another one of those. The TASBY sends us the model. Um, and it doesn't there's not very many edits in it. Um, like things that are up for discussion. A lot of it's what their lawyers say you need to have and
048a lot of it's plug it in names and who does what and things like that. But a lot of it is DAP. This is what happens, things like that. So their lawyers have written it for us and say that's what you have to go off of. And this includes the DA modifications that were made through our latest legislative >> Yes. >> change. >> Yes. >> That's why it took us so long to get these. >> We got these like Wednesday, Thursday last week, >> right? >> Like the decision in here, like for example that stuck out to me is, you know, if you have corporal punishment or you don't, you keep it. And then the only decision you had was do they have a form they fill out to revoke their right or they give
049it to you in writing. Like that was your only decision on it. Everything else is already laid out for you. So ours is they just give it to us in writing. But I don't make them sign a sheet. They just I call them if we need it. So try to keep it simple for parents. >> Like they took out the mandatory DAP placement for >> vaping. First time offense is 10 days of ISS. >> Now, we can still send them to DAP, but it's not a mandatory placement. >> So, where is that located? >> DAP. DAP. We contract with Colorado City. Um, there'll be a deal that you'll vote on. It's agreement with them. Cost us $5,000 to send a kid. Um, but if I never send a kid, I don't. We won't have to
050pay that. >> So, we used last year to buy the yonder pouches or something because we didn't have We have a motion and a second to approve the 2526 student code of conduct. Is there any further discussion? All in favor? Consider and take possible action on t test. evaluated. >> So there's really nothing to look at. This just approves Mr. Marman as the primary t test evaluator, which is your teacher evaluation system, and myself as a secondary evaluator. Should there be a a question of evaluation? >> I'll make a motion test evaluation. Motion in a second to approve the test evaluators. Is there any further discussion? All in favor? All right. Consider and take possible action on school lunch meal prices. >> We um lunches because we're in the C program, lunches are free, but
051we have to still approve the price basically. Um the government hasn't put out any new rates, so we're just going to keep everything the same. We did go up in uh last year, so it should cover any there's there's a whole spreadsheet and formula that they make us do. It should cover any of that overage that we would need to have. So since we don't have any rates now, if they finally get the rates out to us and something changes major, we can revisit this. But right now, there's nothing. >> Like if a kid gets a lunch and they want a second lunch. >> Yes, that's what that is for. >> But a kid gets a lunch and another kid didn't get their lunch, they might get their lunch. >> So that's what they need
052to do. I try to explain that to them the first day and some take up on it and some >> or if you're a teacher and you want breakfast and your kid doesn't want breakfast but they'll get it for you. >> Y know where we're going for >> and teachers are paying still for their lunches. >> Oh yeah. >> They they would really frown if we let teachers we would have to that completely out of a different fund. >> Excuse me. Made the second. We have a motion and a second to approve the SC lunch meal prices. All in favor? All right. Consider and take possible action on DAP interlocal agreement. So these next two are DAP and A. Um so the AAP is disciplinary. A is just I mean if you end up having
053to send a student for non-disciplinary reasons, maybe a kid needs acceleration or or maybe they provide a that, you know, we're not providing. So, these two agreements just put us in contract with Colorado City um that they'll provide our DAP services and we budget $5,000, but if we do if we do not use them, then we don't we don't pay them. So, we need to look at the A first since they're listed separately. >> I'll second it. >> We have a motion and a second to approve the DAP interlocal agreement. All in favor? No. And the next will be the AE interlocal agreement. >> We have a motion and a second to approve the AE interlocal agreement. All those in favor? considering and take possible action on 4 extra extracurricular status and adjunct faculty request.
054This allows us to declare 4 as an extracurricular activity. So when students participate in 4 um their extracurricular absences will be counted as extracurricular. But there's also two adjunct faculty requesting here. One for scurry county and one for Mitchell County. And these are the the the faculty sponsors for this organization. >> Mitchell County is not in your packet though. We didn't get it. Yeah, they'll show >> just in case. We have a motion in a second to uh approve the 4 extracurricular status and adjun faculty request. Is there any further discussion on this? All in favor consider and take possible action to accept property donation. Education Foundation. >> Okay. The the house the house in question has gone from $45,000 to free. Um so >> heck of a deal. >> So the the house itself
055isn't the donation that well we'd have to accept that donation and have to work it out with the individual who owns it. um we would just pay closing cost and things like that um if we accept the house donation. But the Hermly Found Education Foundation has um approved 55,000 60,000 in um renovation for the house, which that was kind of the middle estimate um of what it would cost to get it up and running. Um so the school would have to accept the property donation from the individual as well as accept the pro the monetary donation from the foundation to go towards the house please play school Texas >> yes or >> so I haven't I haven't I haven't spoken to the gentleman yet about the the property donation um but the would just have
056I mean if if you approve the property nonation I would just have to work it out with him as well as the foundation. Make a motion to accept. I second. So we have a motion and a second to accept the property donation from Education Foundation for the house and the 60,000 for renovations. Is there any further discussion? I'm having a hard time saying it's a donation. I don't know where you go from 45's house. >> But like I want to know I know I've heard that talking about like where's like an agreement or something that this is going to be >> that's what we have to work out. >> Yeah. So that >> it's a verbal >> as long as it's a donation we'll go through it. I mean if it >> Yeah. already died
057at >> Yeah. >> And he could probably speak to how the how it got there. I don't I don't know. >> It started higher. It moved. We made an offer. He made a counter offer. We made or we made a counter offer. He finally said, "I just want out of it." The house is currently a 501c3. It is held by um halfway house almost >> James Project. So it it's already the house is already in a foundation um to help help people in need that needed it. He wants out of it. He's done a lot of work to it and he would rather just be done and give it to the school. The house itself CADs for $17,000. It's probably going to be worth $150 when the $60,000 is done. So >> he's trying to
058close his >> We tried to get We really did. We said sorry. We went to him and said, you know, we don't it's too much money to remodel it. He He said, "Well, give us an offer." We gave him an offer or we didn't even We said, "No, we're not going to give you an offer because it's too much money." He said, "Well, here we'll just give you the house." Well, at that point, it became in the budget of the foundation what we had already voted on to remodel the house. If we were, but the purchase price, it just came too much. >> So, now we're at a house being given to the about 60 grand to get it going. >> It's crazy. >> Yeah, it's really crazy. >> He just went out so bad
059that he >> Well, and he just But he would rather it stay in. It's already >> It's already been doing good for the community for what he used it for. So, he's not and I don't even know under his 501c3. Yeah, this this is the easiest way. It's >> already >> Well, if he sells it for a profit under a 501c3, then he's got to show the profit. >> Yes, he does. >> So, this way it's so >> we have a motion from John and a second from Blaine. Is there any further discussion? All in favor? All opposed consider and take possible action on board resolution extending depository contract. >> So once you go for bids, it's good for two years and then you can extend it for three more. year terms and uh we
060actually weren't up for our first term or before going out for bids again two years ago, but we went out for bids two years ago. So, this would be our first extension with First Bank and Trust for the Depository contract. Any issues with our current depository? >> Marcy, >> we're still making money. It's Yeah, it's surprising. >> I'll have a motion in a second to extend our depository contract with First Bank and Trust. All those in favor? 70. All right. Consider and take possible action on budget amendments. I made notes. So if you want to know what go for it take that. >> Okay. So um some of this is just cleaning up what we've approved like the foundation when they get gift us money. We still have to expend that in our funds. So
061we have to do a budget amendment to show the revenue and the expenditure from that gift which caused the additional expenditures. Some of it is the insurance claims that causes us to have to budget for those. So, the 119,000 up at the top, that revenue, 85 of that is the truck in the van, 22 of that is the supplies, donations for the school supplies, and 12 of that is the donation for the floor machine. When you go down to the expenditures, this 27,000, 5,000 of that is the yonder pouches. We taking that out of that function 93 at the bottom because we did not use our DAP money. So, we're just moving that up to go for the yonder pouches and instruction. The other 22,000 is the school supplies. Then you see the 85,000 for
062the truck and van down here under 34. The 12,000 is the floor machine. The for the guardian training. We had grants that took care of some of this stuff last year, but then they're no more. They're used up. And so now we didn't budget for it in this, but now we have to be responsible for it. So I took we we haven't used all of our 93 money. We still have a good cushion there. And so I just took the rest of it out of that. So that's what the 5100 is to fix that safety. That's a new function. And so it's kind of hard to budget when you don't know what you're going to use it for. >> Second. So we have a motion and a second to approve the budget amendments. All in
063favor? >> All right. On our um on our agenda is an executive session. Gentlemen, do we have a need for this this evening? >> Board members, do we have a need for this this evening? >> Okay. No action taken on the executive session. I'll second that. All in favor >> said
