001To the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. The board will now close session for the purpose of discussing the character professional comprehensiv. Yes, Meredith. Yes. Thank you. I miss Susan. Yes. And we will start out with hearing from um JD on soil mitigation. Okay, I'll give a little back history just so um in case there's any questions about that. I got a little tiny couple slides here. So, this is the environmental covenant. See that dotted? It's kind of hard to see, but that dotted line there is what encompasses the environmental covenant. Basically splits down comtock there and goes everything to the east. So everything to the west of Commtock is in the soils boundary for

002Park City on the next slide. N you're going to have to paint that over if you can, but that's the the soils ordinance boundary for Park City, right? And they have a whole a whole uh code that you have to follow for theirs uh as well as what's contained in the environmental cover. So um the district hired RNR environmental in December. Now RNR also did all the mitigation for the soil behind Treasure Mountain as well. So they were the environmental group for that. They were hired in December professional service agreement for the district to do all of this here at Treasure Mountain and and a doer right because that still falls within particular ordinance. So we began having coordination meetings uh in January with everybody on the team including R&R uh the general contractor all

003the consultants and what came out of that is so in order to stay compliant with um the environmental covenant we have developed um work orders basically that define all the work right uh if you'll go to the next slide So you can see them there. This is just a this is just a snapshot of what they are, but it kind of defines all of the procedures for working underneath the environmental. So um they're written up and they're submitted to the Utah queue through the environmental consultant for comment and for acceptance. Right? They come back with comments if they don't like the way any of the work's being, you know, proposed to be done or any of the other controls there. They also have submitted a soils management plan to them which encompasses the whole thing

004right and so and they will also be on site during the construction and uh they will be taking tests to grab samples that type of stuff to keep it you know and then all that stuff gets submitted to DEEQ. So um that's kind of the gist of it. Um, I don't know uh if you guys have any questions about that, but you can kind of see this is just I didn't it was these are some of these are 200 pages long if you can believe it. So I didn't I didn't put the front sheets in there just so you can kind of see what we've what we've submitted. But this has been going on like I said since December. So uh where we've been working with with the EQ to make sure that we're compliant

005and everything else. You'll probably see fencing go up around the whole thing. It'll be a controlled site. You will not just be able to walk in there. people even, you know, you're going to have to be escorted if you don't have the proper training and and a few of the other things are required. And so you'll see kind of a controlled environment there with the gate and maybe a guard house type situation where you got to kind of check in before you get in there. So that's kind of the short version of the soil. So JDQ right now is working on reviewing the plan. Correct. They we met they were in our coordination meeting two weeks ago and they're reviewing this and what they will have it done by the time we start but what

006they did is we sent them a schedule of what activities are going to start first and they're going to approve that stuff first and then they'll eventually approve this this draft. Uh they may have comments I'm guessing because this is such a big document but they'll approve that and then come back and then that that'll be what governs that set. So, so this is for the whole not just the soil but the building too. For the building as well, right? And they are consultant for the demolition of the building. And right now we're putting it together a plan for that come September. There's a little bit of asbestous in there, but the district reports that every every six months and that's they are the ones that actually do the report on that as well. So,

007okay. But that asbestous will be mitigated. It's pretty small. So we'll take that out before the demo meetings. So they are also the consultant on it. So thank you. So we really wanted the the board to be aware of what's going on with soil because it was such a hot topic before we just want to get ahead of it and just let folks know, hey, you know, we're crossing our tees and dotting our eyes and going down the path. That's uh given past experiences we have in place. So, and and on the Park City side, we have a really good working relationship with the soils management at Park City because of the high school and because of all the other work we've been doing over there. And so, I talked in probably a week. So,

008that's everything's in place as far as that goes. So that's a separate thing, but when we approve for the construction, then you guys will get started going for the fields. Correct. And correct. Yeah. I mean, once that once GMP's approved, I think you'll probably start seeing stuff next week. you probably start seeing you'll start they'll start seeing them fence that off and start to control that area you know so that nobody can get in there all that you know you'll see a lot of water probably going down too to prevent us and that kind of stuff you'll start to see the preliminary stuff happen great all right next up we've got the consent agenda which includes the Regular session minutes from May. Close session minutes from May. The land trust and TSA revised plan. The

009data science instructional materials adoption of UC cubed travel request. Uh the 2425 PBIS report, inter agency agreement with the U of personal personnel information, business administrator and superintendent contracts, PCEF, salary schedule approval, legal council contract, check register for May, and board revenue and expenditures for May. I make a motion to approve the consent agenda as a second. All in favor? Hey, we are right on. Um, okay. The board of education wants to hear input from community members at our meetings in order to respect and preserve the time allotted to each presenter on the agenda. Each speaker will be limited to three minutes. Speakers representing a group will be limited to five minutes. And I would just like to remind everybody that personnel issues are not appropriate to discuss in public com. And looks like we've

010got a few here. So I've got Wendy from Black Sam. I can go to somebody else. Well, I am Wendy, like she mentioned with Live Like Sam, and I know that several of you are familiar with the work that we do, but I just wanted to give you guys each our impact report and let you know some of the things that we're doing here in Park City for the youth. We have um a program that has really good um impact on reducing depression and anxiety and increasing resilience and quality of life. And so um we've impacted lots of students in Park City this year. And this tells a little bit about all of that. And then we have lots of volunteer opportunities for kids, grandkids, and all of the parents can look at our website

011and see all the great things that we have going on right now. So, just that's all. We just wanted to thank you for your support and let you know what we're doing. Stand. Hi guys. Uh first, thank you so much for the public service to our community. Um we really appreciate uh what you do. My name is Abby Flack. I'm a parent to a ninth grader and a rising fifth grader at McFlen Elementary. Um and I'm here as a face to go with uh one of the names that was on the letter that was sent to your board and hopefully you've had the opportunity to read um last week. So, um, I come before you tonight as a concerned parent. I, uh, not to debate any sort of personnel matters, uh, to raise a broader

012issue and one that I think speaks to the trust between this school district and the families that it serves. Um, so recently something happened at one of the elementary schools uh, that deeply impacted our children, my child. Um, and the most troubling part of it was the not the event itself um, at all. it was that we as parents were not informed at all. We didn't receive a call. We didn't receive an email. Um we were left to piece together details from fourth emotional fourth graders. Um we weren't given the opportunity without the guidance and the context and the support from the school and the district to really address our children probably uh the way we should have. Our children came home with questions that we couldn't answer. Um, our children missed year- end traditions

013that they had planned um and prepared for all year. No explanation was given. Um, it was extremely difficult to stop and to understand the tears that all these kids cried uh because we were never actually informed as parents of the children that were um impacted of what took place. Um, so if an incident is serious enough to take into account personnel issues, is it not serious enough to inform parents of the children that were actually involved in that specific scenario? Um, we should be trusted partners helping our kids understand and process and grow from all these things that they are exposed to every single day in their school days. Uh we were left in the dark. Students were questioned without district personnel. Oh, sorry, questioned by district personnel without parental knowledge or consent. Uh which

014isn't just a pro procedural misstep, but it's like a violation of just kind of a base of trust that we're trying to build between our community, our families, and their schools. Um so as a parent group we understand that we definitely understand that there are legal and privacy issues when it comes to all the decisions that you are forced to make on a yearly basis. Um and we're not asking for anything there with regards to confidential details. We're kind of asking for just a commitment to the transparency, transparency and communication when it comes to what our children actually experience in the classroom on a day-to-day basis. Um, nobody knows my daughter as well as I do. Uh, I can be a very valuable member of her educational team. I can help kind of circumvent the

015emotional nature of fourth graders today. um there's more knowledge coming at them than they know how to process. And when stressful events occur, a parent can be there to actually help the administrators and the educators. We can be a tool and a teammate um to help the children deal with that stress. So, um you know, we're we're kind of asking for those things that we're seeing in the news, the transparency. We don't understand why we weren't involved in the discussion. Um, and we're asking the school district to uphold the, you know, we all belong because belonging requires courageous conversations, especially around these hard topics. Um, and if educators are discouraged from addressing these issues and if parents are excluded from the process, then how I I can't imagine how we're going to raise informed and

016compassionate students. Um, we're not perfect parents. Our kids aren't perfect. We know the district is working really hard and still learning as well. New roles in the room. Many of you are and in that spirit we need to kind of create space for growth and not punishment. Um for those who I mean we have teachers here who teach with such integrity especially when tackling these extremely complex issues with very young children. Um so what matters most how we respond in difficult moments and silence is not the answer. Silence is the it's deafening. Exclusion is not the answer. Uh it felt we parents felt excluded. The silence was honestly ridiculous. Um honest collaborative dialogue is what is needed. And we urge this board to recommmit to transparency and to involve us parents in the meaningful conversation

017to get to the culture of we all belong because it it needs to be a practice and not just a slogan that we're constantly seeing in the park record. Um we really appreciate everything that you do. We appreciate our administrators and our teachers so much. Um and we really hope that we we get a response from you in regards to the letter that we sent. Um, and I I appreciate the opportunity to speak to you just directly. It's phenomenal. It's our Cord. Thank you. And next up, we've got Josh Gordon. Hi, Josh. I understand if that's all right. Thanks for having us, Superintendent. Uh I just like folks to raise their hand. Catholics athletics, there's five or six folks in here that they may speak. I'm not sure. I'm not necessarily the leader of any

018group, but there's a few of us obviously that have come to this meeting on a regular basis again to voice our support in general of the athletic master plan and movement forward. So again, that's what we're here for. I know the decision later that you guys need to make in this meeting. Again, we advocate for that. We continue to advocate for it. In addition though, we do advocate for some sort of moving from PowerPoint to actuality. You know what I'm saying? So, we've been here. Yeah, I understand. I listen, I understand you guys. I understand. I understand the delay is not by this people at this table, but and there's other things in hand, permits, soils. I get it, right? But every day, week, month is another season that our kids don't get to play

019on these fields, run on these tracks, so on and so forth. So, it adds up is all I'm saying. And I know you guys are not the the the lynch or the hurdle, so to speak, but we do need to generally move forward with the weekend. So, that's my message today. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Any other takers for public comments? Last call. All right. Thank you. Okay. Now we'll move on into the monthly reports and starting with our employee group report. [Music] Hello. I'm Kristen Hall and behind me is Jennifer Riggs. We are the new co-presidents for Park City Education Association. Um, with the conclusion of the school year, we'd like to take a moment to express our gratitude and share a few thoughts. As we transition into summer, we want to recognize

020the incredible dedication of our teachers and staff who are wrapping up yet another year of tireless work on behalf of our students. The end of the school year always brings reflection and we are proud of resil the resilience, passion, and professionalism demonstrated by all of our across all of our schools. We wish to offer our heartfelt congratulations to the class of 2025. Their achievements inspire us and we look forward to seeing all that they will accomplish. Would like to offer a special thank you to the board and district leadership for the care and consideration you gave to the closing of Treasure Mountain Junior High. PCEA sincerely appreciates your support of teachers, students, and the broader community and honoring the legacy of Treasure. Your thoughtful approach allowed for respectful and meaningful celebrations of a school that

021has played a significant role in our district's history. We'd also like to extend our sincere thanks to Lindseay Huntsman and Craig Jensen for their ongoing communication and collaboration with educators. Your willingness to listen and engage in open dialogue is deeply appreciated. We hope this spirit of communication continues to grow, not only from district leadership, but also from the board as we all work together to support our schools and community. Uh we're especially grateful to the board for always putting students first and showing their support for all the families in our district regardless of their documentation status. Your commitment to inclusivity and equity does not go unnoticed. As we enter the summer months, we want to highlight the critical how critical the food p program is especially during uncertain times. It is a lifeline for many

022families and we thank you for ensuring that it remains a priority. Likewise, summer school plays a vital role in supporting students who need extra academic help or stability. These programs are essential, and we urge the board and district to continue supporting and expanding them when appropriate. Looking ahead, we encourage this board to continue being actively involved in upcoming caucuses and political races, especially those that directly impact public education. Your voices and leadership are powerful and your engagement can make a real difference for our schools and students. Thank you as well for your support of UEA and PCA efforts around House Bill 267, which prohibited collective bargaining. We're proud to share that the initiative to repeal this law was successful and will be officially certified by June 23rd to appear on the 2026 ballot. We hope

023you'll stand with us in advocating for fair licensed professional agreements and continued investment in public education. We urge you to stay viligent and engaged in legislative matters and to be willing to have our the hard necessary conversations that affect education policy in our state. Finally, we ask you to remain mindful of how much our students and educators are impacted by the budget. Please include PCEA and in those discussions whenever appropriate. We are solution-minded and ready to collaborate. Thank you again for your continued partnership and commitment to the success of every child in our district. Thank you. Who's doing? Do we have other employee Gina's here? Gina, please. Okay. Um so just to follow that up with our um PCCA class 5 employees association um our super big super exciting news this year is that we

024have a full board for the first time and I don't know how long. So I will be your president again next year. So you'll get to see me a little bit more. But this year I will have a new vice president in Raina Velasquez. Um, we will have a secretary treasurer in Jason Jensen. We'll have a clerical board member in Rebecca Hall, custodian board member in Michelle Mononttoya, a food service board member in Amber Line, a PAR educator board member in Ketel uh Morales, a skilled trade board member in Greg Bear, a tech services board member in Mr. Joe Style, and a transportation board member in Jason Emerson. So, um, we got a chance. I know, right? a lot of people. But the exciting part about that is is that these are each people that

025work in all of these job families. And so we are truly going to be able to have really meaningful conversations with Miss Huntsman. Uh I'm sorry. Um okay. Um we had kind of an impromptu meeting close to Craig. Um we had an impromptu meeting that he did not realize we were having um but was willing to hop on and talk with me a little bit last week. and I it felt really good to be able to share um information from all of these people and all of these job families. Um and so it feels good to be able to actually represent our classified employees. Um some of the kudos that came out of that were um Mr. Coley Pierce um has been working his bottom off um in so many different avenues. So we just

026want to give a shout out to him um because he's been working so hard across the district uh and his group. Um, I think Clay was mentioned as well with building to the ground. So, we just want to shout out him because we know how hard it is when it's busy like this. Also, Miss Ava, uh, Montahano, uh, who's over at Trailside, um, has been working hard, kind of going above and beyond to help in, um, community outreach. It's been a trying time for a lot of our families and students, and she has really gone out of her way to do the things that need to be do done. Um, and we just want to make sure that she's being recognized as well. Um, really quickly, um, brand new news as of yesterday. Um, NDA

027is creating a new program. They're wanting to build an ESP tier mentorship program across the country. Um, we really feel like it'll be a valuable asset to help our um, ESP employees continue their education, continue um, growing and learning. Um there are there our cohort is going to meet up be made up of teams from Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Ohio, Oregon, Vermont, New York, and Utah. Um and I get to be on that team, which means lots of class work this summer and uh it will end with a trip to Washington DC in October. Um, but I think it's just really cool that we're going to continue to work uh at a national level uh and pave the way and and really open this flagship opportunity uh to ESPs across the country and Utah's

028in the middle of that. Um we've really been growing and showing that we are valuable. Um and NEA is opening their eyes and seeing us and I think that's really cool. So anyway, um working hard. Our ESPs are still out there driving buses and cleaning buildings during summer school and helping as paras and doing food service work and tech work to keep everybody busy on their computers. So, um, building and grounds are working hard as well. So, um, we're still around. We're working all summer long, working hard. Um, and we appreciate all the hard work you guys are doing as well. So, if you have any questions, let us know and, uh, we'll try to continue the dialogue. Thank you. Yes. All right. Now, we'll have a high school graduation report. Okay. I'm happy to

029be here today to talk to you about the class of 2025 and thanks for the photos. If you haven't had a chance to look at them, those of you board members that were there that got to participate, thank you for coming. There's um some great pics in there. All right. So, our class of 2025, we had 401 graduates, which included seven kids graduating early, which our counseling staff helps them um achieve that goal, which is set pretty early in high school. 74% of them are attending a four-year college. 11% of them are attending a two-year college. 35% plan to leave Utah for their education, and 43% plan to stay in Utah for their education. Eight are joining the military. Uh that's between the Air Force and the Army. um approximately $15 million are earned from

030scholarships this year by the class of 2025. And their average ACT score um by the time they graduated was 23.4. For comparison, the national average is 19.4. And that score is really a culmination of the entire district. That doesn't just belong to the high school that belongs to all of us. When did they take the BAC? 10th grade. 10th grade. Yeah. And that's um opt in whereas the ACT is census tested. So, um, all right, we have 77% of the class of 2025 earned college credit through concurrent enrollment. Um, which is huge. I don't have the percentage for the kids that earned credit through um, AP because those scores came out in July. So, that will be a statist statistic that will be forthcoming in the fall but not available yet. Um 63% of them

031participated in a school athletic team, which we really like to see. 48% participated in athletes athletics outside of school and 26% participated in theater and or music. All right, this is a great statistic. We love 17% of our kids are um in this class are first generation. And of those kids, 57% of them plan to attend a one, two, or flu. Um, that's all the quantitative data that I have for you today. Anecdotally, I will tell you that each class develops its own personality as it comes through. I don't know what grade that personality starts to really form because by the time they get to rest in 10th grade, it's fairly well established now going to elementary. I'll see how that comes up. But um I can say that the admin staff and um you

032know the faculty over there at the high school, we have genuinely enjoyed having the class of 2025 with us and we have loved to watch them grow. They've definitely had their difficult moments for us where everybody says, "Oh, that's great." But they've had some great great leaders in that grade of kids that we have seen just grow and develop through school and the leadership opportunities and we don't necessarily collect data on that. Maybe that's something that we should that as they go through they've really come up. They're going to do great things and we generally um will miss them and we can enjoy. Yes. Next up, we've got athletic facility to research assistant items. So, come tell us very fast. Sorry to answer it. K9 equin extravagance. Okay, I'll have to work on that for

033next time. Good afternoon, board. It's it's great to see you all. Scott Laterer with MHC Arthics. I wanted to to give you an update in terms of where we stand with the athletic project and uh not only touch on where we've been just briefly but then kind of where we're going particular to do. Um as you know with the master plan adoption we're really focusing on the first second and fourth phases of that plan. Primarily on the right hand side is the improvements to treasure that JD spoke about and that's underway uh hopefully shortly here with your approval. um bid numbers did come back positive and and all things are pointing very well on that. Our attention has really shifted over to Doure at this point and and what are the next steps there? Slide

034to the next slide. Just as a reminder for everyone at the Treasure Mountain Sports Complex, we are planning on turf, baseball, softball, two multi-use sports fields, and then eight new tennis courts. Uh in between all those is a number of support buildings u uh restroom facilities bleachers kind of the whole kit that would come with a project of this size. Again that's all optimistically underway over the next couple weeks and you you should be seeing a lot of progress with that. As you may know already um part of the exercise that we're doing at Doure is as is a re-evaluation of where the parts and pieces can go. Um there was an ordinance that was found from 1986 uh that really created a 100 foot buffer on that north side that limits any open or

035it preserves open space and limits the ability to put a building. And so as a district and with the team, we went back and looked at what are the possibilities moving forward. And that really with other easements, available land areas, uh existing facilities, that really meant that we're kind of splitting in half the project on the east and west. every slide to next slide. Part of the challenge of that uh and opportunity is that the the western side of we'll call it your home bleacher side has a a significant grade 6 to 8 ft in some places. And it's about as far away as we can get from some of the plumbing infrastructure. And so we're looking at how we can actually build those new facilities directly underneath the bleachers where possible. uh and then

036create a new concrete um bleacher concourse area that would provide new plaza space which is a a concept and idea that we had in the previous design iterations and then providing support space on the backside. Um we're working closely with the city to make sure that we preserving the 28 ft height restriction that is appropriate for the zoning area as well as tightening up uh the envelope for these spaces as much as possible. go to the next one. Sometimes it's a little bit easier to see uh in 3D. And again, these are very very concept uh driven. Uh really the the focus of this presentation will go to the planning commission in a week and a half here a week uh to see conditional use permit process and get that all approved so that we

037can continue with the design efforts. Uh from the parking lot side, we're we're approaching uh from moving east to west through a new entry portal that would house uh a number of functions including team rooms for visitors, concessions areas, restroom facilities, uh potentially a flex space that could host different community events. We're seeing on the far side, if we flip to the next image, uh the new arrange picture configuration. Our target right now is to seat anywhere from 17 to,900 um seats in in the new facility and that's in conjunction with new plaza space that would be perched kind of on the right and left of the press box areas. We're really trying to maintain some of the ideas that were in the previous design where we're creating a separation between spectators and the participants

038and we feel like that's going to help with the game management scenarios. Go to the next one. So again, a little bit hard to see on this these images, but on the backside we would have additional support functions, concessions areas, restrooms, storage areas. Again, the building the building really situates nicely to to pair with the existing architecture. And that's part of our next step of development is not only right sizing the program spaces to to meet your budget, but blending that with the existing architecture and design ideas. We didn't necessarily mention it. feel free to share the next one that the track is still scheduled to be replaced with a post tension track system that's that'll be a long-term solution particular in your climate. Uh and then we're kind of looking from the the view

039from the north. We'll go back one more um where from the Lucky John neighborhood where that would be a new turf grass area kind of looking towards um those two new complex and facilities. Uh from a very high level that's that's where we are as as mentioned. Our next step is to approach the the city through the planning commission process, get their approval with your approval as well. That really starts the clock on on the MHTN design team side uh with the optimistic hope over the next two months, month and a half that we have bid documents out to the contractor and then we go through the whole process that we just went through on on treasure. Happy to answer any specific questions. The last of it is just a little bit of you know

040for the planning commission what they always want to know what the fences and what the plans and all the other fun stuff associated with city ordinances are and we are in compliance with all the things that that we have now know including the 100 foot ordinance on that north side that the uh the one that yeah um this makes it looks like makes it look the gram on the high school side. It's a byproduct of this program. Um the north side is 6 to 8 ft as well and we are planning on maintaining that burm so that there's not only a landscape buffer but a place to sit is still great existing grading around levels. Correct. Yeah, that's correct. Um, one user talk with the superintendent is the need for a security fence and kind

041of separation from that landscape zone. So that includes lighting and kind of an improvement in the visibility on that north side. Talked about that could potentially be where middle school students are hanging out during the game day experience, right? With supervision away from everyone else. Um, but uh creating that secure zone, but yes, it would still be that hillside you're seeing. Oh, and the same next to the school that we'd still have the gradient. Actually, we if we go back to the overall plan, which is one of the first slides, the the current thought is that we level a lot of the the buffer landscape zone between the track and the the new addition. Okay. Uh to create stronger connection between the high school itself and the track facility. And part of that could be

042relocating existing material on site. We're not anticipating any exporting activities, but trying to find a building a level building plaid for the those entry pieces, but then also the new relocated visitor bleachers, which are a little bit harder to see on the screen here. Thank you. Can the peanut gallery ask a question? Sure. Uh, has the route for school buses changed or thought process? I know it wasn't approved by the planning commission. do the front of the school now versus lucky job now the emergency uh vehicles can come in the front of the school now with with the school busy yeah I don't know that we've seen the final final traffic study it has not been discussed internally at this point okay so I would say it's an option doesn't mean it's going to happen

043to figure it out thank you we got one question just from from our previous discussion on this I don't know if you misspeak, but concessions on that entry building. Yeah, I apologize. Concessions are still located the west side and we are we we are currently putting them behind the building. Um there could be opportunities there. Where we're showing them currently is up on that space looking toward a question. So go back to slightly le Yeah. So this structure to the left of that is that the building face do those face um the LDS church area. That's correct. So the bleachers would be in the same general orientation as your existing home bleachers. Okay. And then the back side of that would be facing the LDS church. So we just flipped it. um a little bit.

044Your current concession building is pinched up in the corner between the bleachers and up there and the uh the fence line. We're taking a lot of those functions and putting them in one building. There's an economy of of scale associated with construction. And the entrance is still in the same area. That's correct. We'll have we would have two you can still enter from the LDS church parking lot as well as the main entrance. So, we'll have two entrances. That's my understanding that Yeah, we're still trying to maintain that access point. I know that you're exiting entering on another property and but we're maintaining that gate and that access point. Okay. Um, real quick, a couple things to point out just because we know they are topic of conversation. We are preserving the existing lighting as

045is. There'll be no change of that. Same with the video scoreboard on the south side. That's a a recent acquisition purchase for you for the district. Um, this will facilitate the need to relocate the shot put and and the track, excuse me, the long jump um to the south. And then we are providing a new 8 foot sidewalk around the entire perimeter of the track for just better game day management and circulation. Um, there was a question asked in in a previous session about accessibility that that will be an accessible route around the entire property down. Any other questions about where we're going and moving steps? No question, but I'm one of the following neighbors. So, first of all, thank you. Thank you very much. I know this got trumped up by the setback as

046much as our conversation with you, but this is great. We really appreciate the flexibility and understanding from my perspective along and seeing this will make a huge impact for the community, the street and and the neighborhood in general. Look forward to seeing this. Yeah. We need a decision, right? Okay. We decide. So, let's let's talk about what you're really deciding today. Really what you're deciding today is that you're okay with the concept, right? Um although Scott's corrected that bids came back favorably, there was a lot of things added on the Treasure Mountain complex. And so some of those we're we're we're working through dollars, massaging dollars and we may be in a situation where either we value engineer the Treasure Mountain complex or when we go out and bid on this part, we do a

047base bid and then we do alternates that are injunction. So if the pricing comes in well then we have them. So that's really what you're approving for us to move forward is that yeah, we agree with the concept, the full concepts going to the city for the cup. Um, but that doesn't mean we wouldn't need to make adjustments along the way to stay within the budget, not have to come back to you and ask for specifically the concept that we're correct. Okay. So that will stay within that amount that we already budgeted. We're that is our that is our number one that is still the instruction. So I make a motion for proje. Hopefully that's the last we've been voting yes to show. Okay. Next is that view for guaranteed maximum. Yes. Yes. So you

048have for you the guaranteed maximum price. That's that's the terminology used for the budget. Uh just for the treasure mountain complex piece we're at 23.1 million. Um it's a tenative amount. There's still things being worked on with the bids that have come in. Uh like I said, we may look at some value engineering there as well after discussion further with uh other administrators. Um so, but what we're asking for because we don't meet till August is that we approve the tenant of GMP. We will work administratively with our MOA and MHTN teams to get the best price possible and with Hogan. Um but it allows us to move forward and not have further delays uh as we work through that final pricing. Any questions or discussion? Motion to approve the GMP. Second all in favor.

049Yeah. See we just did it again. We said yes. All right, Tracy. All right. Thank you. Hello. It's one of my last DVDs of Trail Side. I try to leave something good. Um, so if you've seen Trailid's logo in the past, this was three years ago. I was like, it's going to be my rib first thing. A lot of things took priority, but we got here. Um, we have some stick figures climbing up a mountain. It's very cute. not really functional as letter head logo, hard to put on anything. I noticed there was a district doing recently it just said DS printing little stick figures was hard. So um a team of us at school which included teachers classified myself. We worked with um Victory Sports through VSN um and they have a design team

050and we went back and forth with iterations and um really the whole impetus was just to have like a stronger logo, a stronger image, something you know we can put everyone is we're funny. We're the only school without actual school colors. Um we're the only ones that never had them. I don't know why. Uh but we've never had official colors so people just choose colors and so there was nothing ever consistent. And so really trying to create, you know, consistent logo, something we can um be tied to. So we're proposing red, white, and black. Those are traditionally what we've chosen as trailside. Um so we would continue that. Um and I think the most exciting thing is we are looking at adding an elk as our mascot. Um partly because we've spent mornings chasing them

051off the playground. Megan's like, "They're back." They're like, "Okay, let's go." Um, so we've become good elk herders, but um, they're just a good, you know, we want to keep that same trailblazer name, but have a good image to go with it. So, we think an elk would do that. An elk is a trailblazer. You see them blazing their own trails. They're strong. Um, I think something that our kids could see in the community would be tied to. And it's really actually fun when you're over there at Reass Spotted on the hill. They just chill right behind us. So, we thought that would be um just a a nice tie for our students. Um one thing, this this mainly involved um staff input, but we thought it would be fun once we do have an

052elk to do involve the students in naming the elk. Um so, Megan's already got that all in her brain of good ideas. Uh and so just get that all the student involvement, get them excited about having um a new logo. Um, so if you want to scroll down, we'll show you the design. Um, [Music] so they gave us, it's nice and there's a whole logo book they give us with different if you do flip the colors and we do things. Um, so we can have ladder head, but we can also just have a strong logo and a strong image. So um, yeah. So I'm excited about this and I think it would be nice um to freshen up. child. This same group was doing logos for Eerville as well as the high school to ensure

053alignment at K12. Um, we really needed a branding refresh that's aesthetically pleasing. Uh, and Tracy was willing to be the pioneer for our elementary to really take this and move forward with the logo. I think it's great. I know. I think exciting. It's fun. Yeah. I I think it'll be fun to have people can tie to them. Truth. Yes. Okay. The colors. Yes. I make a motion to transl. I thank you. I got to get a t-shirt. Okay, next we have open enrollment. We Amy Jenkins, Caroline Sim, and myself sat as well as Randy with our elementary principles and went through open seats per grade level. Our threshold is 23 to1 for elementary. Um, so we really wanted to get close to that threshold. So we set a threshold at 20, leaving room for people

054who move into our district because we know that will happen over the summer. So, as we reviewed each site, uh, we came up with Harley's has 34 open seats, Jeremy has 38, Trailside has 17, and then Nolan has 82. So, the total for open seeds is 171. caveat is we have about 20 sitting in the hopper who have already applied previously. So I think to be prudent we would set the threshold for 150. Um and really looking at specific grade levels at specific sites. Um so I feel confident with 150 and opening enrollment K5 to out of district boundary students but ultimately it is your decision still. So what is the process of how you're going how this will be rolled out because is it that they go to the school and say say they

055have a third grader and a fifth grader but they can't there's no room in the fifth grade but there's room for a third grade. Yeah. So they'll do an application. Um we will collect a fee. Uh we'll determine that the enrollment period but because we're in that early enrollment period um we would stay open until we didn't have the seats. Um but it's really going to be case-bycase basis and availability. Um what is monday.com will timestamp once they complete the application. So that'll allow us to see who completed what in what order. Um and then we'll screen those Carolyn, Amy, and I have set aside time because we haven't done this for several years to really flesh out that process to see what it looks like. And as a group, we will review those applications.

056In a case like just an entry, would we give the option? So we could we could accommodate a third grade. We can't provide potentially. Um or we may say we don't have room at this school, but we have space for both of them at this. Um so there's going to be exceptions. There's going to be weird scenarios that we're going to have to tease out because it's been a while since we've been husband. Well, you going to make you think of it. Yeah. And it's the same time that a parent wants to move their child from say like I discussed they want to go to MC because there's school care there and where their kid goes there's they want school at the same time too. Okay, that might open up another seat, right? So, I

057think uh timing is essential because Randy was shared some numbers. How many kids between ages four and 14 are we projected to? So, so in our county in Wasach County, it's about 600 over the next five years. In our county, it's 451 is what they're projecting. So, that's ages five 5 to 14. But that's for the whole that's for the entire time. Yeah, that's for the entire increase. I'm sorry% increase. I was saying in Summit County, kids ages 5 to 14 increasing by 451 over the next five years. And that's Summit North County. That's Summit County. Yeah. All Summit County. And then Wasach is looking at 600 that they would lose over the next five years. Okay. So, so it the timing seems appropriate. Yes. To open for K5 uh 612, I feel we should

058stay closed. Let's let realignment settle. And we also know that that's where our bubbles happen. Many of those who leave us K5 come back in grade 62. So, do these children have a guaranteed spot every year or do they have to apply every year? Yes, until there's a transition. So transition means you're going from elementary to middle school, middle school dies. So that's what made me other questions. [Music] How do we let people know that we're doing this? We'll work on communications um and really trying to streamline the application process. um having communications go out from the four elementary schools, communications going out from the district, social media, the website um because this is a big deal. It is a big deal and we have people waiting in the wings for us to open enrollment

059to outbound students. Um when is it appropriate to do a similar exercise six time? This time next year. Yeah. Once realignment is settled, I I would feel good about saying, "Okay, let's look at 612. We've had a year under our belts with a 68 912 model. Let's see where there might be some open spots for kids." We're actually required to come to November, right? You show your projections and where are structural stations. So, the first year, we'll get an October one count, right? And then we'll come with projections in November to make a movie. But and if you get kids coming from such county because we certainly have communities out there what what is the money that we get? It's not so any child you have in your school district you're going to generate during

060your year. It'll generate that and then we receive half of that district's local generation basically. Um so really at this point I think they actually pay us right. They're the only ones that pay. Yeah, man. We're paying out South S. Um change and so it's really Yeah. Is it going to be dollar for dollar? You know, if there's 10 kids from South Summit coming to Park City, are we still going to pay South Summit? Yeah, we are. Right. Because our local generation's greater than their local generation. Um but at the end of the day, we're paying the staff the same regardless. And so if there are kids we can put in that class, they'll keep class size down. It just helps us overall bottom line, right? We're still going to have a the same teacher

061in a second grade classroom whether there's 10 kids or 15 kids and we're not adding additional staff by opening the boundaries. Yes. Um is there any factor again like distance from the schools or is it just an abuse solely first? Yes, it's always whoever applies first because we currently have families that commute. I think there was one who lived in Fruit Landing commuted to Park City. We just know people that live like in Park City Park city address for example very close to like trailside and their friends but I mean they are for a long time so there's no factor in like they're we don't look at proximity it's just based on how the applications come in to apply right away. Yeah. silver. Okay. Well, no. So, we need a motion to approve this. I

062make a motion to approve the plans to open up within these boundaries involvement. Yes. Second. Enthusiastic. All in favor? I Great. Go forth and open. Yes. We have some work to do. Okay. And last but not least, the decision items. We have a few additions, right, to our school fees. Yeah. Two additions. Uh, one is for student badge ID replacement. These are the replacement costs. Yonder pouch replacement as well, which is $45. The student ID badge is $5. that would be at the high school and necker so that those schools don't have to absorb the cost of things when the kids are losing them basically. So, uh this would be considered a first reading so we have approval. You'd have to open it up for the public to see if there's any comment on fees.

063Um but this would be a first reading and come back to you in August for a second reading. It wouldn't be implemented until after the second reading. And this came about the badge ID replacement. As we move to a closed campus for 9th and tth graders and an open campus for 11th and 12th, they're looking to go their color-coded badges based on grade level so they can then manage who should and shouldn't leave campus. Um, so that was one of the reasons why this fee came forth as well as kids just losing the door badges and they can't get in. Um, so it's more at the secondary level than the elementary level. And then yonder pouches, it is highly likely that we're going to move to yonder pouches 612. Um, and they are not cheap.

064And so just having that on the fee schedule in the event they are lost, you can assess a fee to further replacement. And do they usually go home? Yeah. Um, I wouldn't know. I see them on the buses. So, they stay in their possession. They get locked in first period and assuming you're on campus all day, they get unlocked in fourth period, but they don't necessarily get left at school. Yes. Some likely incidentally get left at school, but they should be going home and staying on the person. Okay. Thank you. Okay. So, can I get a motion to approve this motion to approve these out? Second. All in favor? I think these are program. Yeah. Okay. So, next up we have policies for posting. We have policy 2000 student on the board. Policy 7,5 alcohol

065and drug-free workplace. Policy 7,039 remote work. Policy 7040 extra duty assignments. And policy 7084 shine. salary supplement for high educators. So they special ed um it used to be TSSP but now it's being passed on to the district to manage that program. Yeah. Okay. Great. And any start with a motion. So I I make a motion to approve these policies. Second that motion. Work rather than remote work in your remote work policy. Just a benefit. Such a short policy. It's very short. Okay. We'll fix it. Um any discussion on apologies for posting? All in favor? I would like to see. Yes. And next up we have policies for adoption. The following policies have been posted for 20 days and they are now before the board for adoption. So we have policy 7051 military leave and

066policy 10 115 administering medication to students. Make a motion to approve those two policies for adoption. I second. Any discussion any questions? No. Okay. All in favor? We're ahead of schedule. Seven minutes. We have to like consider. Oh, do we have to wait till five minute break? Yeah. and I'm only back at Thank you. All right, we're going to do the budget meeting now. So, I'll see if we can open the session for the next. I make a motion to close to move into the budget. Second all in favor. Okay. And then I have two slide presentation real quick. All right. First first slide just shows the expenditures. This is what you're approving tonight. You're improving you're approving total expenditures, not all the nitty-gritty details in the budget, right? You're you're approving $1 amount. Um

067with this the 25 year has been adjusted a little bit just to make sure we don't overspend certain categories. Um the 26 years the same as you saw it a month ago, right? And the difference on the 27 years maybe or 25 years maybe $700,000, right? Spread through all the funds. Wow. So one of the things we have to do is whatever you approve expenditure wise if at the end of the year we exceed that becomes an audit finding. My goal is not to add an audit funding, right? So we'll be a little heavy on those. The second slide is the property tax rates. We still do not have the basic school levy rates. We've got the amount from the legislature, which is still an increase of a half increment. Uh the rates you'll be

068approving tonight are the voted local levy, the board local levy, and the capital local levy. You'll also be approving the debt service. The debt service, however, is really just our principal and interest due next year, and the taxable value gives us that rate, right? It's an automatic calculation. So, all of these rates are within the certified tax rate the county's provided us. Part of the motion will be if that certified tax rate changes between now and the end of the month that I have the authority to go in and stay within that certified tax rate. I've had it before where the rate was lowered and or excuse me raised and we weren't able to capture that certified full certified tax rate. We've got to capture that full certified tax rate for us. So end of

069the day, we're not raising taxes. Uh does it mean some taxpayers may see an increase? Possibly. because if their value goes up, they're going to see an increase, right? If their value goes down, they're going to see a decrease. Those those things are still into play that we don't have control of. So, uh, with that, yeah, when will we hear from the legislator on the basic levy? Email you as soon as we hear. We usually hear from Sam at the state. And is it usually around that percentage? Um it's FL well for a few years it was at the 66 increment range because they have that extra WPU in mind. So um I'm going to guess it's going to be in this range. My guess is with assess because our assessed valuation went up I

070think statewide counties are beyond the point where they're decreasing right from over increasing the first you know three four years ago. Uh, so I think we'll be somewhat in that ballpark, but whether that's up or down, I don't know. I I almost wouldn't anticipate it to be higher than that, but no guarantees because I don't know what's going on in Wayne County essentially, right? So only know what's going on in Summit County. Okay. So, okay. Uh, okay. I think the board Yeah. [Music] Oh, the board may entertain a motion to adopt the No, we got to start at the top where it says declare the public. So, I got the 25. Sorry, the legislature makes this up. Okay. Well, I already declared it open, right? So, you're declaring the public hearing open. So, if you

071want to speak to it. Okay. I'm declaring the public hearing the final budget for fiscal year 2425 open. We'll take public comment. There's many. Have we heard any final numbers for the state of the ESA? The ESA, as far as I know, they're planning on distributing all of that. I did have a call from the UEA about that. Um, I told them the same thing we've shared here to say if they fund it, we'll fund it. If they take it back, we'll take it back. But whatever the mechanism is, we'll mirror that state mechanism. So I don't think you're going to see anything with the Supreme Court till 27 probably anyway. So I think 26 we're going to probably be safe. So but I've seen Stranger Things Okay, given that we don't have any public

072comment here, I will declare the public hearing on a final budget for fiscal year 24-25 closed. Can I get a motion to approve the final budget for fiscal year 2425 as amended and included in the budget document? Yes. I make a motion to approve the final budget for the fiscal year 2425 as amended and included in the budget document. Second. Okay. And all in favor? I and I now declare the public hearing on the proposed budget for fiscal year 2526 open. Do we have any public comment? I have a quick question about the um the legislature that allowed for the strengthen for ESPs this year. I know that they did the language per COVID language which excludes some of our ESPs from that. Um, will we be able to match it so that all ESPs

073get that money or are we still trying to figure out what that's going to like? Yeah, we've not had that discussion internally, but we'll need to have that discussion internally. Okay. So, can I just ask that it be considered um that August, please get that? And if not, I'd just like to see what that looks like as far as how that will grow. Um, I know that wasn't a you guys thing. That was a that thing. and we are working at the um the state level. I know our president has had discussions with Mr. um so that we can get that change in years coming. Um but this year we're stuck with so we would just be happy with that. Anyway, and now declare the public hearing on the proposed budget for fiscal year 2025

074256. Can I get a motion to approve proposed budget for fiscal year 2526 with a recommended tax rate of 02164? This recommended rate does not include the basic levy or the charter levy which are both finalized by the Utah State Tax Commission. If the certified tax rate is adjusted, the board of education reserves the right to adjust the final tax rate to yield the tax dollars currently proposed in the budget as presented. Otherwise, this will be the final rate set by the board of education. I make a motion to approve the proposed budget for fiscal year 2526 as stated because I'm not. I second. All in favor? I thank you very much. Okay. And now so motion to adjourn the budget hearing. I make a motion to agenda. Second. All in favor? I hear motion

075to public. I make a motion to public. August 19th. Oh to the next. Yeah. We just go from the buzzy end to next meeting. Okay. Thank you. So to adjourn and strengthen. All right. Yes. I second. All in favor? I 11.
