You have to tell us your name though because I don't know everybody. >> I'm Sydney Maxfield. >> Okay. >> I'm Megan Miner. I'm Kylie Schwitzer. And I'm Elder Negative. >> All right. We appreciate your guys' support for [clears throat] senior dinner in the past and we are coming to you guys with three proposals in hopes that you guys would love to support us again. So,

005this senior dinner will be on Wednesday, May 20th of 2026, and we will need to feed around 165 people. >> Where's it going to be at? >> Um, >> Red Barn, >> they've done it at this one over here before. Our first bid is all garden which is $2,422 around that. And then we will buy Korea and pasta stations which have two plots of spaghetti and fetuccini and then three sauces alo meat sauce marinara three topping chicken meatballs and sausage and then salad and bread sticks. Our second bid is Chipotle, which would cost $2,36.75. We would have build your own burrito or bowl. We'd have two bases, which would be cilantro, lime, white rice, and black beans. Two proteins, which would be chicken and steak. Three toppings, which would be fajita, veggies, shredded cheese, and

006lettuce. And then one premium topping, we would have guacamole. And then we'd have two salsas, fresh tomato salsa and roasted chili corn salsa. And then we'd have soft flour tortillas. Okay. Oh, go ahead. >> Finish. >> Our [clears throat] third bid is cafe Rio. This would cost $2,724.15. The idea of this one is build your own tacos. Our two meats are chicken and pork that comes with black beans, flour, sorry, flour tortillas and along with house dressing, guacamole and pico de gallo. >> So, which one did you guys? >> We prefer Olive Garden. >> Yes, >> that is our top. >> Yeah, [laughter] >> sounds good. >> Thank you guys. >> What you guys want? I mean, you give us you have options here, but if that's what you want, pitch that. >> Okay. >>

007Um, thank you guys so much for your time. As we said, Olive Garden is our top choice, but we wouldn't be mad about any of them because they're all really good. >> How fun. That sounds great. And you guys are way ahead of the game. Good job, planning. >> Usually, this is coming in what? >> Like, April. >> April. Yeah. And we're like, they ended up Yeah. So, good job. >> So, what are your roles? >> Um, roles. Oh, I'm vice president. >> Vice president. >> I'm secretary. I'm communications chair and our activities chair. >> Nice. >> Fun. Great job, you guys. >> Well done. >> It's gonna be a great dinner if you're planning this early. We're excited for you. >> Thank you. >> Thanks, guys. >> All right. Thank you. >> Thank you.

008>> All right. We're down to student border. Student board member. >> Wait, were we going to talk to Connor? >> Did you have a chance to talk to your school or >> Yeah. >> Thank you, ladies. I've uh I've figured out a couple of >> that we can do. >> You can just do it from your desk since you're our >> and you got a mic. >> All right. Um I suppose I'll just read from this if that's okay with everybody. >> Uh the first bid I got was for Luscious Barbecue, which would be catering only. The pricing options per person would be either $26 for two meats and two sides, and $30 for three meats and three sides. Menu highlights include beef brisket, pulled pork, ribs, chicken tenders, chicken wings, vegan porttool available. Sides

009would include smoked beans, mustard sllo, goshi, potato salad, mashed potatoes, collarded greens, and cornbread. Uh, this would include buns, sauces, plates, and utensils, as well as beverages. And as for the service, the food could either be picked up for no fee or delivered to whatever location we decide to hold the dinner at for $50. The taxes and standard service change would be about 20%. We would need to find a location to host this, but we could actually hold it inside the restaurant for the same price if we uh held it on Wednesday, May 13th or Wednesday, May 27th. Uh my second choice is the second bid that I acquired was at the shed for promontory at the art room venue. This one has an actual location. It there's two buffet options. $30 for the claim

010Jumper buffet, which would include Caesar salad, crudeites, fruit platter, spinach, artich choke dip with tortilla chips and salsa, smoked barbecue chicken wings, and pepperoni and margarita pizza. And for $35 would be the leady Morgan buffet, which is Caesar salad, fruit platter, onion chive dip with chips, smoked barbecue chicken wings, beef cheeseburger sliders, French fry, and pepperoni margarita pizza. Uh the usual 500 art room venue fee would be waved and all food would be provided at this location. Uh this venue does include video games, bowling, movie theater, and a gymnasium. Bowling is technically an additional cost, but my parents said they'd be willing to pay for it. Uh gratuitity would not be included. The only issue with this one is that it's not quite as like fancy if that's what we're going for, but uh >>

011for whatever you guys want to do to help. How many how many um numbers are we looking? >> Uh our total our total seniors are 15, but if we're including teachers though, that's a couple more people. >> Pretty good. >> Uh but minimum is 15. Uh the last bit I got was for Meg's Timberline Cafe, which is a catering drop off option. It would be about $30 per person plus gratuitity plus a $50 delivery fee. The menu choices, uh, we would need to choose one of these options, but both of them are priced the same. They would include disposable utensils, plates, serving wear, and delivery is in fact waved if a parent picks up the food. There's either a taco bar or a pasta bar. I'll save I'll save going through the details of it

012since I'm sure everyone gets it. Uh if parents were to be invited and the total amount of people doubles, parents paying in advance, servers would be provided for the dinner and full service would be offered. Uh once again, this would require a location needed and parents would need to provide beverages. >> Okay. >> So, uh that's what I got. >> And which one did you want? Uh, I feel like I personally feel like the shed would be the most popular one. And it and I believe it'd be one on the cheaper side compared to some of the others. >> Okay. >> Is that the one where you have the activities, too? >> Yeah. The you guys know the shed, right? Up at Promontory. >> Never been there. >> We don't hang out in [laughter] >>

013I'd show you guys, but I don't want to take up the whole meeting. So, it it's like a restaurant with a bunch of other cool stuff to do there. That one's $30 a student, right? >> Uh yeah, if we do the claim jumper, it it can be 35 if we do the lady more if we do the Lady Morgan, but either one is a good option. >> Very good. That sounds fun. >> Thank you. >> So, so nor can I add just one thing? Normally, we try to keep it under $25, which is the predeem rate of the >> of that dinner. So, if you can talk to your principal and see if you can cover the other five, that would be great. >> Yeah, sure. I can I can figure it out. We don't

014have a lot of seniors, so I don't >> You might want to talk to your kids and tell them they're like $13 playing. They got $10 to spare if they want to go and do something else. >> Or give a like senior gift or something. One year they did those CS. That was fun. >> I'll talk to Mr. Grryer about the price. >> Yeah, perfect. >> Sounds good. Thank you. >> Now, is that like legislation? >> No, that's that's kind of what we've we've set the limit as is the predium rate. And so that that seems like a fair rate. So we hold all of our employees to that. So >> anyway, I think that's that's a fair rate. >> I think the highest I think South Summit High is coming in right around 15

015and change or so. About 15 bucks per person >> if we'd want to keep it at about uh 25. Luses Barbecue does have the pricing option of $26 for two meats and two. >> Yeah, I think I think it is actually 26 is the pium rate. So >> yeah. So if we strictly need to keep it there, this is also an option. >> That's what I'd asked you to do. Just take a look at that. Stay within the predeem rate. >> All right. >> Okay. >> Can How big is our senior class? They said 185 kid people is what they going to serve. Wasn't it >> 165? >> 44, >> right? We're around like 140 if I remember correctly from the yearbook. >> I think they teachers. >> I think we're >> Yeah, [clears throat]

016>> all right. >> Okay. We'll move on to the student updates. Sammy, I'll let you go since uh Connor I'll give Connor a break. >> Okay. So, I would like to talk about our FCCLA club. So, we actually last [cough] week we sold cinnamon rolls for the whole week to raise uh money for Satie Hawkins that we're planning. It is actually next week, November 22nd. So, we raised about $300 for that. So, that will cover most of our decorations and everything. We are holding it at the small gym in the school. So, it's a lot cheaper than going to like the Oakley Red Barn or even the Cameas uh city center. So, I feel like that was such a big thing is that we had the whole club helping out after school making cinnamon rolls.

017Each of our officers had um their own day or two of them had their own day to make them. So, it was a good and we sold them during lunch and it was a big hit. >> That's great. Good idea. >> All right. Thanks, Sammy. Um Connor. All right. Admittedly, November's been a bit of a quiet month, mainly for student council and NHS since we're planning bigger events for December, but as of what's been going on, we are getting ready for uh creda for accreditation uh focus group on the 20th. So, that will be coming up. And as for something that's happened a little a little more recently, uh we're having our veterans we're having a Veterans Day assembly tomorrow. Everyone uh is encouraged to wear red, white, and blue. And we're going to have

018some and we're going to have some of the members of student council, including me, uh uh do some speeches for Veterans Day and have some of our veterans come and speak during the assembly as well. We're hoping every we're hoping everyone participates in essentially the mini spirit day and all goes well. >> Very good. Thanks, Connor. Thank you. [clears throat] All right, we'll move on to our director's report. Um, Jennifer, >> you're going to dazzle dazzle us with transportation information. >> All right. Um, update for 2025. I just had to give you guys some visuals of our bus. This is our current um route drivers that are doing our full-time and part-time routes. Our mechanic and then me. Um so we have four five full-time route drivers, two part-time route drivers, our full-time mechanic, six

019regular subs and four backup subs as needed. We have one CTE van driver, a part-time special needs car driver. >> Are we fully staffed? >> Yes. So, at the start of the school year, we had four people apply for the one time for the full-time position. Um, Larry Gi and Joe Kington were able to help me get them trained since I'm not certified to train yet. So, we have four people. Nathan Harrison took our full-time driver position. Carrie Jaketta is a substitute, Jake Whitmore substitute, and Gary Richens is a substitute. So, we've got three new substitutes and one full-time new driver. >> Fantastic. >> And boy, it's a long I can speak from personal. It's a long onboarding process. >> It is. >> It's a lot of work and it's hard. >> It is good.

020>> Driving and making sure >> You guys did a great job. >> I kind of say it was kind of like having a teenager and letting them go drive. [laughter] >> You have to feel comfortable with it. >> Yeah. Um, so I've started doing the driver certification to train. So I'm hoping to have my part done by probably the next couple weeks and then I'll be able to start training new drivers as needed. >> That's going to save us a ton of money. >> Yeah. >> So time. >> Okay. Next one. Um, writership. This was taken from the annual A1 report from last year versus this year. Um, and where this was my first year doing it and it was super stressful. Um, I did it over homecoming weekend. So, I don't know if that's

021why our numbers are a or weak. I don't know if that's why our numbers are down a little bit, but wrership from last year versus this year is down a little bit. Um, our drivers go between our 28 routes a day, about 496 miles. And over the co course of the year about 85,000 miles on our roads. >> Um we have our bus right software that helps them especially subs where we're able to put the tablets in the bus and they can see all the routes. They can see all the stops, all the kids that are on the routes. The parents can see when their bus is actually coming. So it's been a big help. >> Isn't that wonderful? >> That is nice. I wish they had it when I had little kids. >> I

022use it. It's a great safety measure. >> You can log into the app and see, okay, our bus is going to be here in three minutes. >> Yeah, I can watch the whole bus drive the whole route. >> That is so nice. >> Well, and it opens up the flexibility [clears throat] for a subbus driver to be able to cover any route because the tablet >> is able to let them know where to go, when to be there, and >> I heard about the tablet in the bus. I just didn't know parents can also fantastic. >> That's great. And it's kind of nice because it's only parents that have the email registered with the school. >> Oh, so that's good. >> Don't have just random people logging into our system. [clears throat] >> That's great.

023>> Probably a good thing. >> Yep. >> All right. All of our fall emergency evacuation drills [clears throat] have been completed. Um we're This position has changed that I'm in. I can actually do ride alongs with the other drivers now and do skills testing. Um, we have all of our vector training complete and we hold weekly meetings to go over training topics, any safety updates, just anything the drivers need to be reviewed. Um, last year, because we don't have this year's information because we're not through it, um, we did 204 activity club trips and 63 field trips between all of our extracurricular activities. Uh currently we have 15 buses in operation. Seven are used every day for our routes. Um we have six substitute buses and two trip buses. We have a special needs bus

024that will be arriving. I am hoping by the end of the month it keeps getting pushed back. Um and bus 40 will be scheduled to be sold. Bus 18 will be our backup special needs bus. If if I'm not mistaken, I think so. We have the six substitute buses. Those oftentimes are still being used >> for other activities and things, right? So, it's not like there's six buses just laying around. >> No, >> they're constantly being used all the time, >> right? For the either as a backup bus or or for activities >> route and an activities at the same time >> because we have some days we have five buses out. So, we're pulling those other buses to go on routes. >> Yep. So, it's and I guess the reason I wanted to bring

025that up is because there it's a it's a management. The fact that she's managing all of that and doing so efficiently where buses are still running on time and everything else, it just speaks to her level of commitment, her her level to being able to make things happen when they need to happen. So, it's really appreciated that Jennifer's taken that on and she's just rocking it. >> Is there a difference so far? I know it's still kind of early in the school year, but being 2A is it? >> Um, we're traveling a lot further, I feel like. >> Really? >> Yeah. I don't know. I I'm not big on sports, but I have to kind of keep up with them a little bit before >> two hours or more. >> Yeah. >> Um, goals for

026this year is ongoing driver training. student management, safety, and making sure all of our buses are up to code, safe, reliable, clean. Um, improve our fleet maintenance schedules, which we're just I'm still trying to figure that one out to figure out how to keep all of the buses on a good system and the white fleet. Um, and increase driver retention so that we don't have over. >> That's great. And that's it. >> All right. >> Any questions? Austin, >> I have a couple. Going back to the buses. >> New special needs bus. What What will that look like? Lifts >> for wheelchairs. What? >> A wheelchair bus. >> How big? A smaller bus or full size? >> Full size bus. >> It's going [snorts] to look different than the one pictured here. It's the one

027with the the nose on it. >> Mhm. >> Okay. >> What does a bus cost now? >> We have It's 168 for this bus. >> 158 68. >> These these kind of buses right here over 200. >> Yeah. And bus 40. What do we What do we think we'll get for that? >> I have no idea. >> Probably somewhere between 10 and 20,000 somewhere in there. I think the last one we sold for 14, >> so it depends. >> I just curiosity. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Sounds like you're on top of everything. >> I just want to say great job and >> you're doing a fabulous job. I live [clears throat] right next door to a bus driver and also had Jake go through the training and they both just really respect and like

028you and think you're organized. So, good job. >> She's doing phenomenal job. >> Yeah. if that's going to help your retention because people like working for you and so good job on doing that. >> All right. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Thanks. >> All right. Next item on the agenda is uh superintendent items. He only has one. I don't know what the deal is, but uh I appreciate it. >> Well, I've gone and I've filled up a couple pages here for you, but uh no. Um, we've been putting some time and energy into an artificial intelligence policy, an AI policy. Um, there aren't a ton of districts around the state that have those yet. And we're finding that AI is being used in school more than we realize. And, um, and so it's just

029it we need to have an AI policy. Um, likely will there will be model policy coming out, but that won't be for a year most likely. So the policy that we've drafted is based on um USB guidelines, recommendations, their framework, as well as um a couple of other larger school districts, AI frameworks and um some policies from around the country and things like that. Um and um I purposefully did not put it on tonight's agenda because I've asked principles to take it and share with their school community councils because AI can be a little bit controversial. And so um so principles will share that with their SEC's uh and bring bring in some input some feedback um to us to look at how some of that feedback might impact policy and procedure. Um I think

030the elementary has their SEC meeting today. So she was Miss Flenders was working on that um with them. And so each of the each of the principles will just work with their SEC's on that so that we can get some good input and uh and then hopefully bring that back in December. Ideally, we'd like to have a policy in place um by mid January. We do have a a cohort of teachers who are um going to pilot some some AI um in the classroom. So the some that's teacher facing but also student facing. And so we'd really like to have a policy and and that in place just because there's safety in policy. So any questions on that? I'm looking forward [clears throat] to see what parents have to say about it. Okay. >> All

031right. Thank you, >> Adam. >> That's it. That was 60 words. Holy moly. So um last that's that's amazing. I'll try to do the as well. Um, last month you asked me to kind of take a look at teacherto student ratios. Uh, I' I've got that uh in your packet today. You can kind of see where we're at and with each of the schools. Elementary schools averaging about 21 per per student per grade. And um, Silver Summit Elementary, you know, they're probably somewhere around 12 or 13. Um, South Summit Middle School, you're looking at about 21. uh you know this is an aggregate but you can see it by grade and then um Silver Summit Academy is about nine. So um that's about [clears throat] where we ended up. So and and each each one

032of those when you see the other teachers and staff that's other teachers and staff. So like the elementary school has one PE teacher. So they're really not assigned a specific class. They just do PE. You have three sped. You have 1.55 counselors. uh because we got one counselor that's split between the elementary school and the middle school. So that's how that all reads and so you can kind of look through that. Any questions on on uh on that? >> A while back the I think it was the governor said they were going to work on reducing class sizes in Utah. The ratios >> that wouldn't affect us. >> Yeah. Yeah. I was just wondering what the what do we know what the target like how do we how do we compare? We're better than most.

033>> We're low. >> Um mo a lot of districts in the state re report out on their teacher to student ratio. They include all of their support teachers. So um special educators um all of those teachers are you may it's how you can have classes of 40 but yet on on paper it averages out to be 30 to one because they're adding special ed teachers. So teachers that have traditionally smaller classes, um things like that. Um for us, we're we're counting those teachers in as addition, not just the the the reporting that that we've got are just the actual classroom teachers. So the special education teachers aren't included in that teacherto student ratio the way we've reported it because that would as a principal I always felt when I got my allocation it felt like

034it was artificially lowered because they were counting teachers that really weren't carrying a full you know classroom full of students. So we wanted to make sure it was as accurate as possible to classroom >> and I don't I don't know what I'd have to go look and see what the state average is. I I'm 28 30. >> Well, it's different in different grades. You know, elementary's going to be lower. >> Um uh I know in my previous district, our goal was 30 to1 and we on paper would show 30 to1, but you'd walk into a core class and they were 36 to 40. And that's that's what I was trying that's what I was kind of trying to explain is they put all of the specialists in there as teachers and then all of a

035sudden it says that your class size averages down and it always just rubbed me wrong. I'd see a math class or a science class or English class and they're, you know, 35 to 40 and that just didn't set right. So that's why we wanted to just really show you the reflection of what actual classrooms look like. >> Yeah. And and if you recall, we're below our target. Our targets um when we looked at uh and we're close. I mean um you know, like the high school, their target was 24 to one. They're 23 point something to one. So again, we're we're we're really close to what we targeted um in the policy that we wrote or the procedure we wrote a few months ago. >> So I was just wondering if we're where everyone else

036wants to be. [cough and snorts] >> Yes, [clears throat] >> we are. Yes, that is a true statement. >> I think we're lower than what everybody >> wants to be. >> When people around the state hear where we're at, they're they're amazed. >> Um, you know, and that with that benefit, there's always a cost to that benefit as well. You know, the more teachers you have, the that impacts salaries and and and increases. But, um, but we're sitting really our class sizes are really nice when you compare them to other districts. You know, I taught in my 30 years of teaching, I taught one year of regular ed. And that one year at Granite High of regular ed, I had two classes of over 35 kids in the class. >> Y >> and it was

037a ninth grade geography classes. And I mean, I had them sitting on the tables. I had them. We didn't even have desks. We didn't fit them in. Hey, I got a question for you. Uh, Adam. >> Yeah. >> Looking at the uh teacher ratio for Silver Summit Academy and Silver Summit Elementary, the fact that we have one administrator for that. Would it help us to include both of them together to come up with the ratio or would it hurt us? >> Now, now say what do you mean both of what together? the elementary. You have statistics here for both Silver Summit Academy and Silver Summit Elementary, >> right? >> If we [clears throat] figured the >> them all together, would that hurt us or help us? >> Well, that would show that you'd have more,

038you know, more kids per teacher, but not by much. I mean, you're at nine and you're what, an average of 11 or 13, maybe? I mean, I'm just doing the up math off top of my head. So, you see the one >> it' probably be 11 or 10. >> In the elementary, you have to realize those are two grades. >> Yeah. >> So, K through first, that's two grades with only two kids. >> Fourth, fifth, you got 17. >> On the fourth, fifth or the elementary at Silver Summit. I I don't know. Yeah. >> I mean, if we if we did the numbers in aggregate, it would it would increase the the number of students per teacher by one or two is all. So, I mean, it's >> curiosity. It is it is what it

039is and and you know that's something we're going to have to look at in the future. But uh >> uh and our our thing is the requirement to provide you know a minimum a minimal program as far as right >> we have to be able to in the secondary for example we have to be able to have a program that gets kids through graduation. And so the at the secondary level it's really it would be really it wouldn't be hard mathematically to do it but the the qualification of it would be difficult I think to combine them because [snorts] >> at a school that small you have one teacher teaching >> two >> you know at the elementary two grades but at the secondary they're they're teaching multiple preps um just to get the the

040minimum basic program in let alone any of the extra classes. So, does that help, Dan? I don't know if that answers your question. >> I'm just doing the math. >> It's >> Yeah. Um, so on number two there, legislative ed educator support professional bonus. This is the bonus that uh the state legislature allocated last year, $1,000 for each uh qualified um educational support professional uh or educational support professional. And so um that I recommend that we put that out in November, this next payroll um that goes out um >> nope. It's uh it's it's legislated. It's their it's their money. It's not so it's not a bonus. So >> that would be pretty easy to do. >> Yeah. Oh yeah. And then the the last comment I had is recommendation that we provide um the

041first cohort that did the summer uh assessment project that we provide half of that stipened in November as well for those that completed it. So that's my recommendation there. >> How much is that? >> Uh the the summer cohort was 1,500. So it' be half of that. Then they'd get the other half when they finish after the midyear and end of year assessments are given. Okay. >> Is that in the >> I don't think it has to be an action because it was already in our Okay. >> You you already approved the budget. I'm just That's my recommendation to pay it out. >> Okay. Y >> if you guys are okay with that. So that's why it didn't require an action item. >> Yep. We're good. >> Um and then um for E and I'm

042going to let Wes come up and and talk the master planning update. Um this is uh a process that we went through with all of the um what oh sorry oh yeah [laughter] don't check my spelling sorry Kenna. Um anyway fat fingers. That's what I'm going to blame it on. Um Wes and I and and the principles met in each of the buildings. We looked at the facility condition report. uh looked at uh what they want to have happen and uh we kind of came up with our next year's projects and I'm gonna let Wes kind of take it from there. >> Okay. So, as Adam said, if you look at these the the stuff that's in green, that's stuff that come from the FCA reports from 2023 when had those finalized, we uh tried

043to take a little bit off of those. We tried to take a balance of what the principles uh the administrators in the building's priorities were and try to come up with something feasible we could get done this year to support all of their needs. Um so uh in the high school we've got pretty good chunk of remodel work uh that that's needing to be done. Probably the biggest ones would be in the locker rooms and uh doing some remodeling between the art room and the sped room to try to make some more room for sped with some restroom needs and things that they're facing there. Um that's going to be be the biggest expense there for the high school. Um as well as a pretty good lengthy list of uh sports um facilities upgrades that

044we've applied for. um the rural school sports facilities grant. Um if we're able to get that grant, we'll be attacking some of these other uh facilities upgrades um that are on that lower list for the high school. >> Tennis courts really cost that much. >> Well, yeah, we're struggling with that a little bit because uh they gave us some estimates once that were much less than that. >> Okay. >> Um >> I thought we were talking about moving turning them into pickle ball courts or something. Well, I mean, high school pickle ball isn't a sanctioned sport, so it'd be hard for us to justify. >> That's so much money to >> And that's why we're saying >> movement though of moving it up above. It's moving them from here. >> This would be to finish

045our sports complex. >> I was like thinking doing something with the current. >> No, this would be f final phase for a sports complex. If if if you decide that that's what you want. >> This is without any bidding. This is without any >> This is your pure estimate. >> Yeah. Well, um this was a this was a number that one um state contracted >> company gave us. So, we haven't we haven't beat down pricing on very much of this yet. We haven't had a chance. >> And I would imagine it's fully reimar rebar and everything. >> Yeah, it'll be post tension concrete. >> It'll be the state of the art. >> Fancy. >> The the thing that we and one of the reasons we added it here is because we're concerned about the facility

046grant. If you look at some of those things that they've got on here, a lot of that's equipment. And so we're not sure that that facility grant is gonna I mean, we wrote it in a way that we hope they'll fund these things, but as you can see, a lot of that is equipment. If they don't, our fallback is to to use that grant money to do the tennis court. >> Okay? >> If they don't approve some of these things that are equipmentbased. So So again, it's it's there. We don't have to do it. it, but it's it's on the list just in case we need to. >> That is that fair, Wes? Is that fair >> statement? You know, we just uh we've got that, you know, potentially $500,000 coming for rural schools facilities

047and yeah, if they decide that, you know, just buying new equipment for our existing facilities doesn't qualify. We want to still be able to get and use that money. So, >> that's great. Great idea. >> Any questions for Wes? Okay. >> All right. >> Anything else on any of the other school lists that jump out at you? >> Okay. >> Right. Thanks, Wes. >> Thanks for your updates on the event center. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> It's [clears throat] nice and summarized. Perfect. >> Really help >> like what you're doing. >> I don't know if I'd say perfect or they're not. >> Oh my gosh. >> Far from perfect if it comes from me. >> 98% [laughter] perfect. >> All right. Moving on. Um, >> you just have to disagree. >> Procedural updates. Um, superintendent, you

048want to just take us through any >> Well, we we really don't have um as far as the procedural updates. We [clears throat] don't really have any first >> second review. >> First first review. So, if you have any questions on the second review items, any questions on second review for procedural? All right. Okay. We'll move on. Uh we'll move on to uh we're not going to need to recess. That's too quick. Um we'll skip that. Um we're moving on to action items. We we're now to the consent agenda. Any questions on the consent agenda? Hearing none. Uh looking for a motion. I'll make a motion to approve the October 13, 2025 meeting minutes, the October 2025 financial and payment reports, the new hires to include the SS AFC new hires, and the substitute teacher,

049the reassignments, the volunteers with approved background checks, the travel requests, and the policies for second reading. >> We have a motion looking for a second. >> I'll second. >> We have a motion and a second. All in favor? I >> I Any opposed? >> There's no opposed. Unanimous. All right. We're going to rearrange the schedule just a little bit. We're going to move item F out in front of everything else. Is that the one? >> Yep. >> So, Adam, I'll let you take over. >> You bet. So, um I don't know, it's been quite a few months. We finally got her done the facility master plan feasibility study. Um we did an RFP and uh based on that RFP you can see the data that was that uh we we analyzed uh five different companies

050and MHTN Architecture won the score and won the won the bid. Um and I've invited Brian. Come on up Brian and and Scott. Right. Come on up. And um these are our our architects that uh they're going to help us out with this process. um pending your approval of of the budget. Um so the budget, I don't know if you remember, I think originally you'd given me $80,000 or so something like that to to get this thing started, it came in significantly higher with the three phases. There's a lot of of detail that uh as we tried to phase everything that we wanted to look at just to see if it was feasible. Um and this is kind of where it came in at. Um, the other thing that uh they provided which I thought

051was really helpful was was kind of a timeline and and I think that's something we probably need to discuss kind of your intent as far as what the timeline that you want to have happen on this. This is kind of developed so that we could get maybe an answer if you guys wanted to go for a bond uh in no ne not this November but next November. Um but that may be a little too quick. So, that's all up for for debate and and discussion as far as timing and and and they have some good ideas. They helped Park City out with their bonds. Um they they've got some good experience with uh with doing this kind of work. That's why they won. Uh and so we're excited to work with uh uh Brian and

052Scott um to uh to help us get this going. So, um, really what I need to to know is, are you guys good with the $196,750? And that's >> Well, and the other the other question we need to address is, do we want to try to push something this fall? [snorts] >> We don't have to answer that today though, right? >> No, but I I mean, as we as we get going with the contract and all that, that's something that probably help them understand better. So, >> with the timeline, it's tight. >> It is really tight. So it's >> Did you have a committee that went through the RFP? >> Yes. Yep. Yep. There was three of us that went through it >> and there was a score. >> There was like a score. >>

053Yeah, that score sheets there. Kind of gives you an average of them all. So this is what we you can see what we we looked at. >> Um and and then how they ranked and and then they they won the bid. So does that make sense? >> They didn't necessarily go the lowest bid. >> Um they were pretty darn close. It was within a thousand bucks I think. >> No. >> Was it within >> They actually won it on other grounds. They were they were I think the second high or second lowest in price. So it wasn't it wasn't significant. I mean it was it was,000 or 1,500 bucks is all >> but they had a lot more experience and a lot more uh and you can see where they scored higher. So >> So

054I I do have a question. And so what do you see as the most challenging aspect of this project? All of it or parts of it or >> um so just talking about the feasibility study and and not getting into >> right >> bond implications. [laughter] Um I mean nothing that we've talked about so far seems super challenging. Um I think for us um having experience with with the multiple parts and pieces of your schools and and figuring out the first phase will make room for all the other phases to happen. Um I think the the the most challenging thing um generally will be once there are ideas and once there are phases and once there are plans in place um the consensus with this body. Um, so we're really looking forward to open communication

055and and really um being able to work together to figure out what your what your hot topics are, what what things that you're uh you as a school board and leaders of this district are um what's most important to you to make sure that as we're as we're making those plans and and figuring out the different phasing strategies that that those are all woven in. >> Other questions? forum. >> Adam, >> can I can I just throw one one thing out is is I think once if you guys approve this, one of the things I think we need to look at soon is having a working meeting where we can actually give them your your kind of vision and your ideas as to how you want to see this go forward. they have some good

056ideas about maybe, you know, some meetings with staff and some of those things that I think can help us out, but really they need to know. I mean, I kind of know I think I know what you want, but it would be good to get us all together so we're all on the same sheet of music soon uh so that they can really get get hit the ground running. So, that would be my recommendation. >> When would that have to occur >> if we move forward? Um >> I think we we had initially talked somewhere between Thanksgiving and Christmas. >> Okay. So soon like >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Now that would also depend on on the schedule, right? So currently we're we're looking at um a schedule that's doable and finishing in the spring.

057Um and and that that schedule was set up with with the idea of a potential bond election in November. The whatever ideas that are whatever the plan is that's determined that by May before school is out, you could begin talking with the community and then again when school starts. So there there's opportunities to share the story. Um if that timeline is prolonged then um really it could happen when whenever is most convenient for you all. >> Sure. >> And will this include like >> it's a it's a 20-year master plan. So and it's broken into what do we say three phases. >> And so phase one, phase two, and phase three. as we talked before in our working group about, you know, just an idea. Does this even is this even feasible to move the

058elementary school and do all those things that we talked about. So, it's it's kind of to look at all of that. Is it feasible? What are their recommendations from the professionals, you know, and they're going to give you some some insight in that. So, >> I think I think >> Yep. >> Right. you guys. >> We talked about glass and all this, you know, because that's a security stuff that, you know, a lot of the the new buildings are really they're open because that's best for learning, but it's not as conducive for for safety. And so there's a lot of give and takes that we're going to have to do through this process. and and but that's again something that we need to hear from you so that they can meet our intent. >> Any

059other questions? >> Who are you guys again? >> MHTTN Architects. >> MHTN. >> Yeah. >> All right. Um if there's no other questions, uh entertain a motion. I'll make [clears throat] a motion to approve MHTN to conduct the feasibility study for 196,750. >> All right, we have a motion. Looking for a second. >> I'll second. >> Have a motion, a second. All in favor? >> I. >> Any opposed? Motion passes unanimously. Thank you for your time. >> Thank you. Yeah, it's an honor to be here and we look forward to working more with you. >> Yeah, he too. Thanks. >> Thanks, guys. Thank you. >> All right. Uh, moving back to the original agenda. Um, policy 2013 fraud hotline policy for first reading. Adam probably. >> Yep. So, this this is one that you uh

060asked me to look at last month and um as I looked at the policies and and looked at things, the only thing that changed was the phone number. And so, that's the only change that you'll see on the on the policy. Any questions on that? If not, I'll entertain a motion. >> Uh mot I make a motion to approve the 2013 fraud hotline policy. >> Oh, I lost my note for first reading. >> Yep. >> For first reading. >> All right, we have a motion. Looking for a second. >> I'll second. >> Have a motion. Second. All in favor? >> I. Any opposed? Motion passes unanimously. Thank you. All right. Policy 1010. Um, board conduct and ethics. It's one that, uh, I've been hearing a lot about from legislators, from from the different organizations, and

061we we asked Greg to take a stab at it, and he's been working with the attorney. So, we'll let him. >> So, yeah. So last month, um, you guys asked me to work on a board conduct and ethics policy. Um [cough and clears throat] and so just over the last month, um we've been working just collaborating with board leadership, our attorney, uh myself, we've been looking at um uh policies from around the state um looking at um best practices and um and based on that came up with this draft um for first consideration. Um it's It's a a little bit uh that maybe I'm being too transparent, but it's a little bit weird to feel like I'm part of a policy on board conduct and ethics, but it makes sense why I am. But um

062it's been it's been uh it's been a really good experience. Um I think for all of us, for leadership, for for me, um the attorney's been great. um she's she's been there to make sure that we're we're not um overstepping, that we're not underststepping, and that we're um rem that we're staying in compliance with um with all the laws and the state state board rules and things like that. So th this is the version that um that landed for tonight. So what questions do you have? And >> did did most of this come from you said pre-existing policy from other districts or is this state coming from the state? Where is this policy modeled on? >> It's it's modeled off of um a lot of it's off of other districts. Um and uh there's not

063there there is there is >> there's some >> model policy um >> some from the legislature. So we pulled it from the legislative audit or was it is that not the audit? >> The audit office. you know that book we showed you last time which we have copies for >> but we pulled some of it from that book as well. >> So it's based on best practices as well as um basing it off of what other districts are doing. Uh that that probably I think uh looking at what other districts had was probably the most informative um where we got the most information. Um I know um both Matt and I and uh our attorney were looking at different port policies from around the state. Our attorney, the district that she works, she's a staff

064attorney halftime for a larger district. And so we we looked at theirs as well. uh before we before we uh started investig investing more money into uh having her help us, we figured why not start with our attorney's policy in her district. So >> anyway, >> I got I [clears throat] got this happens according to and sometimes >> yeah that >> sure >> I I >> like where where is that at the public communication power away from you? >> Yeah. >> Well, I don't know that it takes power away from anyone but >> Okay. But I think there's there's it it seems like um [clears throat] it seems like people have become so averse to having a conversation because it's uncomfortable. So it's discomfort instead of a safety issue. um what when I meet with

065employees if they're talking about um or parents they're worried about retaliation you know from someone a teacher or a principal or or whoever it's from uh one of the things I generally will try to really emphasize is you actually have more protections by saying something and it's not intended that you not speak to something I think the intention of that was um Uh I think the intent the intent of that is for um is so that coming to you as an employee uh to get their way versus coming to you as a constituent. They're two distinctly different things if that makes sense. >> So yeah. So the pay scale me through this few weeks ago. >> Okay. >> Screwing us out. >> Yeah. And so I simply went and I actually see if they >>

066confused. >> Yeah. >> I don't think that applies to that though because you weren't in the school. Adam, >> I think Yeah, I think some of the purpose >> that's me [clears throat] >> I I think some of I think some of the purpose and and correct me if I'm wrong, but I think some of the purpose also is to try to avoid people circumventing a chain of command. Understand that sometimes. Well, >> sure. And I've already done I've done that, too. Yeah. >> Um, >> so yeah, >> maybe. Well, let's let's >> But that's [clears throat] under school visit. I think how we were intending this to be is you're in the school and you're going to teachers and investigating. That's under school visit. That's something totally separate. >> Yes. >> So, I think

067that I don't know. >> Is that where where you're talking about? No. >> Yeah. He's talking about school visits 3C. >> And I think that was the intention was if you're in the school and you're trying to go around and ask teachers while they're teaching >> and investigate. >> I've been, you know, on that same deal with Adam, I had at least five or six people and I told them to talk to you. I didn't know. So, and they did. I think they were shopping a little bit >> probably >> and and that's fine and I I don't see problem with that. >> No, there wasn't a problem in my mind to say, "Hey, there's a problem. Will you look into it?" >> Exactly. >> Um but >> maybe we rephrase it to weigh them.

068I I don't know how we'd look. >> I mean, what part of you want my hands tied so I can't feel like I represent? >> No. And that that's not the intent. And I didn't feel like that was the intent. >> That that would be under >> like we got to go doing our job. >> No. No. [clears throat] So, it it would fall under accountability enforcement, wouldn't it? What you're talking about? >> So, number four. >> Number four. [clears throat] >> Um >> cuz what what Wade was describing, I don't think >> what he did falls under school visits >> 3C. I think what he did is totally acceptable. He wasn't in a school visiting as you know. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> And then first thing I do sit down with the principal. >>

069Yeah. >> Sure. >> No one's saying that's what they're trying. >> Let's uh let's take a look at that. Really? Is there a specific place you you >> It's got I don't I'm going to have to re I don't know where that would fit, but it's got to fit. I would assume it fit in the uh >> because you were concerned under number E, right? E >> E5. >> E3C. Okay. >> C E >> um school visits right there. >> Right. Right. >> No, let's take it. >> Yeah. >> No, let's take it back and just look at it. Sure. Let we'll take it back and look at it. >> Yeah. >> I have a question on >> Do we have suggestions too >> on this same section as well? D2 >> D2 unless otherwise

070>> get some clarification I think it just needs clarification >> I don't >> well yeah and that's >> it it depends on the scope right are you going to do a a mass email to everybody it it depends on scope Right. >> If it is an individual, I don't think it's a big deal. If it's a if it's the whole district you're going to email and contact, well, that's a different story. >> But and I think clarification is all it needs in there. >> No, I those are good great catches. >> Like I said, it's was a a little awkward to Yeah, you say you went Yeah, >> I could get in trouble. They didn't understand why. >> Yeah, >> if if there's an investigation though, I think it does need to get brought before

071the board. >> Right. >> Before Before it goes major, right? >> Yeah. You got to find You don't know about what you don't know. >> Yeah. Right. Right. come right back to this. I wouldn't try, >> right? >> And I think that's that's the gist of what I >> that's the terminology. >> What the hell? >> Yeah. And I think that's the gist of what we're trying to get to. >> I think that's what it that's the intent. >> That's the intent is is if there's a problem, let's take it to him to fix it because that's his job, >> right? >> Yeah. I I agree. So, let's we can >> Well, and and and part of that awkwardness or the oddness of this is this is the board policing the board. >> This is

072not the superintendent policing the board. >> Yeah. >> Right. Right. >> You know, I work for the board, so I certainly can't police the board. >> Or would I want to try? >> Yeah. No. >> Yeah. No, >> but but that's the clarification we want to try to have in in all of our >> right. I my only concern is yeah, like you said, let's add somewhere. But I do feel strongly when we go to schools, we are not to conduct independent investigations or inquiries like if it's different if someone comes to your house or calls you as one of your constituents, it also works for the school. Yeah. >> Because you're not in the school. because we've had complaints that teachers are being taken away from teaching because a school board member or someone

073is asking questions. >> Well, the Yeah. The other thing is >> You've had complaints about that? >> We have had a few complaints. Yes. >> there's also been uh really >> to try to avoid putting board members into an awkward position of being in the weeds. um that so finding that balance of how do you word that where it's inclusive um that that that's been some of the the nuance that's been difficult to to >> put on paper. Yeah. >> Um because some people if one board member says something people take that as the board >> the board. Yeah. >> And uh >> how do you so so it's that nuance there of >> okay well Wade said this so >> it must be and it's and it's administrative in nature. And so that that's

074where we get into some of those statements that we can work on re you know word smithing those um you know so that >> well I I'm I know for fact because I used to be one of the principles. >> Yeah. >> You it's very possible that a board member would come in and say you need to do this. >> Yeah. >> And I'd say you need to do this. [laughter] I I I well I'll tell you it was >> I agree though >> for for for I I was I was told you know Dr. Rosi was between uh Chad and and me. >> Um and I was told the first year or two. Uh it was frequently we were frequently having to remind people of okay this this is the administrative piece. This is

075the weeds. This is the the part that you do. And and because I one of the first things I was told uh by one of the principles uh that was here at the time was well you have to understand for the last two or three decades what teachers and administrators have been told is if the superintendent says no you just go to the you go to a board member and it happens >> and and I mean you remember having those conversations >> where the board was saying to me how do we avoid that from being the case because principles need to principal, teachers need to teach, a superintendent needs to superintendent and all that. So, >> if you hadn't have told them what to do, >> yeah, >> but you followed the chain of command.

076That that's the thing that I think was being bypassed, >> which I think that is a valid thing. Yeah. >> Yeah. So the other the other the second reason I wanted to do this is um for principles a new principal does not know how to interact with board members. They don't they >> no they don't >> they don't and so it's it they need some guidelines to know what what to expect from us. Right. >> Right. How do how do they determine >> well and as well as new teachers >> and new teachers too >> because we talked about once we get a finalized approve it maybe it's part of new teacher orientation too because we're here to support new teachers and new principles. We want them to be successful and we want them to

077feel like they can come to us too. We just don't want to do it during a school visit. >> Yeah. But >> Right. >> Okay. >> No. Great. And I understand >> I saw lots of board members in my last one, but it was a high school. >> Most teachers don't. >> Well, that wasn't me. It was people trying to >> so or when we go back to the lawyer and look at this again, are there any other sections that people had? >> I was wondering about >> I had a question on one point. >> Okay. So, what what's ties first? E2. I just I wonder if we ought to put in parentheses or something something about except for public events. I was thinking about like tomorrow >> the middle school sent us an email

078inviting us to come to the veterans assembly. >> Yeah. I think that's a great idea a great clarification. >> Schedule just accept. That's an invite. I think you do. >> But I I also know that teacher talked to her principal. >> So maybe we just we do add something except by invitation or >> or public event like >> or Yeah. I'm thinking like public meetings, assemblies. >> Well, it's if you're a parent and you're attending assembly, it's I mean I don't know how many times you go to the middle school or elementary kids there >> for athletic events or >> athletic events. >> Okay, Dan. >> Yeah. On that number two, because I go out to the schools all the time, so I'm expected to schedule now. >> Yes. schedule with the principal or >>

079with the principal or no >> with the principal the principal >> and what is >> I'm really struggling with this >> I'll tell you what I do >> I I send an email >> because I always check in at the office whenever I go anywhere. >> I always email Lisa Flenders and I said, "Hey, I'm available to do visits Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of next week. Is there a time that's okay? >> Is there a time that's good for me to come in?" that >> and she'll respond right back and she'll say, "Hey, >> scheduled >> Monday at 1:00, >> okay, >> is great." So, Monday >> just to coordinate it with them. >> Yeah. >> So, it's because I mean they're running the school. They're >> Well, I know. And I stick my nose

080in probably where it shouldn't be if >> And I try also I mean for me I try to send a text or a phone call, you know, and ask, "Do you have a few minutes? When's a good time to stop by?" >> Okay. If I really need to, I'll stop in. But >> generally, I know principals are really busy. >> Yeah. I like >> I love when I go into a school and the principal's not in their office. >> Yeah. >> Our principles a lot of times they're actually out in the classrooms. It's >> been great. >> I I was telling >> So I was doing >> Oh. Yeah, that's perfect. >> It was awesome. [laughter] >> Moral of the story, don't go on election day. >> There were over 12 kids each class. >>

081Oh wow. >> A >> they didn't win. >> So they were very very sad. Even the teacher was crying because she felt so bad. [laughter] It just happened to be that Mr. Wilson and I were walking down the hall and the teacher was >> and and actually Lisa did a good job because she um she had she made I don't know if she did it on the on the go, but she made up a couple little jobs for those. You come and see me tomorrow and I got these jobs for you. You can help. >> Nice. >> Yeah, that's what it was. >> Great feedback. Well, >> any any sections that we need to look at? >> I think those are the ones. >> I thought we had something under account. Did someone have something

082under five? >> I was just looking at five, but I don't. I think what they pointed out is We'll just get some clarification in there. [snorts] >> Thank you. >> Okay. No, great feedback. Appreciate it. >> And can we raise the gift up to $150? I'm just kidding you. [laughter] Um, I do need a motion to continue or table. >> If if if there's no motion, no action, then it just >> there's nothing progress. >> Okay. >> No. Very good. All right. Next item on the agenda. >> Uh, policy uh 4050. You're looking to retire that superintendent. Anything? >> Yeah, it it's um it's it's an old policy. It's we we were thinking about going and researching looking at um when we had redone some policies and procedures and just thought you know what rather

083than spending all this time having Dawn and me go through past board meetings we thought let's just go through and retire it because it it's it's taken care of it's covered in yeah in 4001A in the in the in that policy and procedure. So, I just I felt it'd be I I felt it'd be better to just >> make sure we officially go through and retire it if if we did it back when we had diligent and for whatever reason it didn't transfer over or whatever that is. >> I I just didn't want to I didn't want Dawn to spend time. I didn't want to spend time Yeah. I didn't want to spend the time when we could just go ahead and retire it. Yeah. Now, so >> any questions on that? [snorts] >> All

084right. Looking for a motion? I motion to retire policy number 4050. >> All right, we have a motion. Looking for a second. >> Second. >> Have a motion, a second. All in favor? >> I. Any opposed? Motion carries unanimously. All right. Thank you. All right. Item E. >> Do we need to go over 401A a curriculum? that that one you guys >> materials >> that one there's no changes to any of that. I was just the note there was the information in policy 4050 >> taken [clears throat] care in >> it seems it's on there. Can I make a comment about that or part of that policy? So there's a part in there it's over the reviewing of >> literature that's not >> so there's a process there to have something reviewed if it if

085it's in the classroom whether it was approved or not and I'm just going to go back a few years when um a student that I'm familiar with had a English class in their reading book had a lot of pornographic and the parent involved you know um to the district and before that book was even reviewed, she had to read the damn thing. She had to highlight it, bring all that in to and then they formed a review committee. As a principal, I think we need to have something in there that if a parent points something out and it's under my direction, I should be able to pull that book today. >> So there there is guidelines that come from the Supreme Court on that. So everything that whole policy basically mirrored um state code um

086that whole process that we went through um as I as I recall um if there's a if then situation if it meets a a certain three-prong uh test that the Supreme Court's put out then it's automatically removed. Um, and as I recall, there doesn't have to be review. Uh, there's another one where, um, it does go through the review process. And now the state state code has even been changed since then. Um, you I don't know if you've seen in the in the news, but um, just I want to say it was last week, another book was banned statewide. um if it comes up in three if it's if it's challenged in three districts, uh it's now a statewide ban, no ifs, ands, or buts. Um >> so so if a teacher introduces that book

087as literature in their class and it's already been banned, >> then that teacher >> probably need to be fired. >> That teacher would well I would say due process would happen. we'd follow we'd follow, you know, the the the code of conduct violation policy and procedure. But um along with that, we went we went further in our in South Summit to make sure that um all teachers in their disclosure that they put what books they were teaching. Um >> that's in another policy we have. >> Yeah. So we we went uh more conservative than what was required >> because we just I'm a I'm an advocate for parent. I think we're all an advocate. We're all advocates for parents. >> Um and so that being said, we wanted to make sure that >> what happened

088couldn't or not that it couldn't because you there's no guarantees in life, but that it shouldn't ever happen again and that if it did there would be consequences. I just don't want to take a semester of kids having to read that book for parents can opt out too, right? And parents can opt out all the time. >> Read most of the approved. >> Parents can opt out. >> Yeah. So that that summer we took all of the books that teachers were planning on reading that next year >> and we divided them up between district, you know, between people here in the district office, some of the principles. We had some parents, uh, board members. We all read the books that the teachers, >> even if they weren't even questionable, >> you know, where the red

089fern grows or whatever. I mean, it didn't matter what it was. We read the books and then we filled out a document >> I was introduced to. You'd have to go to your ecclesiastical leader after you got done. >> Oh, I I'm sure. Holy >> crap. >> We had we had one like that when Jonathan was in school. I remember. >> Yeah. It's it's a it's a >> went straight to Walker. >> It's a hot topic. >> Yeah. There's been two legislative bills passed and then they changed it within a year. >> Yeah. It it wasn't even a year old by the time they changed it. Does this policy need to be adjusted to match that or is it about >> It's all It's all we all we comply. >> Y >> Okay. Any other

090questions? But I appreciate you asking because Yeah, it's worth it's worth building. >> It is definitely. >> Um All right. Item E, which is uh FY2627 project approval as discussed above. Any questions on this? >> That was quite a bit more than what we thought, right? >> That bid >> that we approved. >> Yeah, >> we bit we put in about I think 75,000 >> 75 or 80 somewhere right in there. Yeah, >> but I thought when we initially did the bid, we didn't do it for all three phases when we first thought the first number. >> That's the >> that's what increases. >> I think that's kind of what Matt was thinking. >> Yeah. um that that's why he wasn't surprised. But uh >> with the three phases, it's comprehensive. It's it gets us

091to 20 years. >> Well, I know one thing. I mean, it's a lot of money. >> We have needs and we got to get on it. >> Yeah. >> We got to have a plan. >> To your point, we got to start going I mean, I hate to pay that kind of money for this plan and then in five years we do the same thing again. It seems like that's what we've done in this district for 30 years. >> Right. Right. is we let's do a feasibility study. Okay. >> Then we don't do anything with it or the bond fails and then hey let's do another one. Well, hell that other one covered this time period, you know. Why can't we just go back to that? >> Did co spell fell again? >> Yeah, North

092Summit. >> North Summit failed. Y >> So they're going to they're going to go >> supposedly they're going to do lease revenue. >> Oh, that's anyway. >> Lease revenue like Wasach doing for their new high school. >> What's that? >> I think that's a bad idea. >> They do not have to have a bond for Well, I think it's the right thing to do for the community to show them a 20-year plan. >> Yeah, I think that's right. >> We're going to get buy in. >> Let's have a longterm plan. >> You're going to have a lot better chance [clears throat] November to buy. >> They can see what it is. And the locations, I mean, you got to be sure on your locations. >> The locations flunked the other one. And then we did

093a lot of other stupid stuff. >> Yeah. all all at the same time with foundation and everything >> and just soaked people all to death in one one election. >> Yeah. >> They said, "No, you're not." >> Well, and it's been nice that we haven't had to do any truth in taxation for the last >> Few years, >> and I'm hoping we can keep it going. >> I think we can >> with the growth we're seeing. >> But this approval one is for >> You've already approved this. >> Yeah, this for the This one's for the sports thing, right? >> This what we're on. item E, which is FY2627. >> Yeah, for the 499. >> This is this is the >> Yeah, >> that's the one we're really on to talk about. >> This is

094the priority list for all the schools. >> Yep. >> All right. Any other questions on this one? >> Sorry. >> This is the stuff that Wes briefed you on. >> Yeah. >> Discussion >> already. >> All right. Uh, we'll entertain a motion. If there's no other questions, >> I'll make a motion to approve the FY2627 facility projects with the projected costs. If costs exceed estimated cost, those projects will be presented again to the board for approval. >> All right, we have a motion. Looking for a second. >> A second. >> We have a motion, a second. All in favor? >> I. Any opposed? >> Motion moves unanimously. Thank you. >> I don't see any improvements on the bus garage. That's probably good. >> Yeah, we did that on purpose. And you probably saw a little

095bit on the elementary, not much if we're going to go with our plan. So again, we're trying to be prudent in >> in what damn expensive drinking fountains. >> They're they're >> That's what I thought too. >> They're remote. You go up smart ones. >> Well, no. It's probably the water bottle refill those. Yeah, the refill. your water bottle once. >> Anytime you hire a plumber, an electrician or any of those kind of things, it cost you in my house and it was outrageous. >> Really? >> Yes. >> Crazy. >> You have to have filters and to comply with the water and >> $12,500 for two drinking fountain. Holy crap. >> I thought the same thing. >> That's a guess again. So, >> yeah, >> we'll we'll refine. >> Okay. Um, moving on to board

096item agendas. The LEA governing board member training on audits was uh done by Wade and myself. Did everybody and everybody got the this the other ones done? Very good. >> Looks like everybody got the LEA hotline training done. And then Wade, you were able to also do the other audit ones, weren't you? >> Mhm. So we just need to note that. >> All right. Um and then the fourth item on the agenda is um during our training we learned that it would be wise to bring in a uh community member as in the audit committee. Um we did meet with the audit uh auditor today. He had some he had nothing really to share that was um concerning, but he we did hit him up about some of the things that we've seen of how

097to look at the um >> check register and all that. So he's going to come with some ideas. Um I assumed he was coming in in December to present the >> Yes, he's on the board. Okay. He's on the I've got him on the agenda. >> And then he actually is going to we're going to bring him in to do a little training for the audit committee. >> Nice. >> And probably in January. He didn't want to do it in December because he a bit busy. >> We'll probably want to find somebody to serve on that. >> Yeah. >> And how do we that? Do we send out a notice and anybody that wants to volunteer? >> If you're okay with it, we're going to send out a Facebook request that the from the district.

098So as Shelley gets here tomorrow, maybe we'll have her send that out. But that's kind of what were thinking >> or if you had somebody s can do it. >> Um if you had somebody in mind that you know got that kind of experience I do >> please reach out to them. >> I have somebody that's >> been through all kinds of audits >> great >> at higher level higher ed and >> with the state and >> great >> oh yeah he just had another one in >> he lives at my house too. Yeah. So reach out to them and then if we have more than we need, we can always do a >> Yeah, >> we can always do a >> Are we just bringing back names or were we going to put something

099on our social media? >> Well, it's up to you. >> Yeah, >> you said social media, but if you don't want me to >> I was thinking we put it on the social media too instead. >> I also think an email to the clinic >> through whatever parents. >> Yeah. To parents. It only goes to parents. >> Yeah, just to parents. >> Okay. >> Because then are we looking for an accountant? Um, specifically >> if we're going to put post either post something or put it in an email, but at least what do we uh either audit or accounting experience? >> Audit experience would be >> I mean, do we ain't anything we got to do interviews and stuff? >> No, no, no, no. >> Well, it depends on how many people you get. How

100do you choose? >> We only want one. >> We Yeah, just one. >> So, do you think it would be better for us just to choose one? I mean, we got to that's what we're trying to decide is or do we put it out on social media and have five people say we we're interested in doing it, but then like you then we have to interview. >> We don't have to do an interview. >> One idea is we could put it out on social media first and first >> Well, no, but I mean, >> you don't need formal board action on this. No. >> So, you could just let the audit committee choose the one. >> I like that idea. >> Is that okay? That way it involves the community >> and and then you

101you two choose. >> They'll just submit name experience. >> And I don't even think it needs to be a parent. >> No, it doesn't. >> It could be a retired auditor or something. >> Would my person be a conflict of interest? >> Yes. >> No, I don't know who you're my wife. She dealt with >> um >> major millions and millions audits. >> A good >> at the university for 30 years. >> Um I have no idea. I have no idea. I'd have to ask. I don't >> I don't I don't know if she'd want to do it, but I mean, this is exactly what >> Yeah, >> she did for her career. >> Submit her submit her name and if we don't retired now, so >> you're trying to keep her busy. >> Sub
