And they also came they were also present at our community partnership breakfast uh and meeting with community members and such and so I know the community love seeing you all there. Thanks for being there. Thank you. What was your impression about that breakfast? Did you think it was wellreceived? Yeah, I thought it was pretty good. It was nice to kind of have like everyone there like the elementary schools, the middle school, and the high school activities there. I thought it's just like it's good to see what's going on because sometimes like with us we're mostly focused on the high school.
009We don't really know what's going on within our district and it's nice to know what's happening and see what else is happening. A little early but like you know six something I was like girl look up at that roll out of bed kind of morning. Yeah. It was nice to learn about like the improvements because like if I wouldn't have gone I wouldn't like know anything like you say like we're kind of trapped in our own little bubble guy in school. We don't learn much about what's going Can we do a community brunch? want to get out of school. [Laughter] Trying to get the businesses before they have to go to work. Yeah. Well, thanks for being there. Appreciate it. Thank you. Awesome. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks for coming. Thank you for the presentation.
010Okay, Dr. Darling, uh I know your report was on our deal, but yeah, that's a good segue into our community partnership breakfast. Um at 5 minutes to 7 we were a little worried because I think we had six community partners there but we ended up having about 40 or 50 people there from the community and then we had a ton of community members that currently partner with us having tables set up so that so what we did is we set up this big almost a W of tables where we had elementary high school everybody had a table UFC was there safe Yakima Valley um school all the school yeah like five different tables from just the high school themselves. So we had the community that the mariachi band was playing. So we woke up the
011whole neighborhood and then they got breakfast. They came and sat down. I did my spiel. I told them, you know, come join us. We'd love to help you in any way you can. If you're ready now, go get a window clean, grab some strategic plans, take them with you. If you're not, go meet with Jose or Stephanie, find out more information. If you're thoroughly confused, come talk with me. We'll set up another time to talk. And so we've head up some follow-up visits with some companies. We have some more companies we're going to reach out to. And uh so we have window clings they'll start seeing up in businesses. Jeremy was there so we appreciate him being there. Shelby was there representing like six different entities. They're they're in every house we have. Yeah. But
012it was a good I think it was a good breakfast and and um thanks Jean did a lot of hard work behind the scenes and it was early but we've heard we've heard from the businesses that that's when we get them there early in the morning so they don't miss work. Yeah. And so, um, we had some show up that were going not show up that we're going to, so we'll reach out to them again. And this will also parlay into having some more faith-based partnerships for each school and we're working on that. So, we have some really good connections that day. And the um the student advisory council was there and they were having businesses take a pledge to help them end the use of hate speech in the community. So, businesses are putting
013these signs in their windows like we support the Grand View School District in ending the use of hate speech in the district. And so, excited about that work. and Grand View Chamber is actually going to partner with the student advisory council and each month they're going to get one business to pledge to to join this effort and so that's another committ actually has a chamber too. So that's awesome. Yeah. So that kind of covers what the student advisory committee is doing. Um the Grand View leadership team, we had them attend a legal presentation with Proser and Patterson Mapped and a couple other districts. Kim brought the legal firm over from Seattle to do a presentation on like the new updates and laws on student discipline and they left saying this is probably one of the
014best discipline trainings they've ever attended and they wanted to say there's like five more hours. So, we might do a follow-up, bring the same group back just to talk with some of all of our staff, all of our people, all of our some of our key staff members, all of our leadership team. I mean, Brian Buer says there was not a moment that he wasn't learning something that he hadn't learned before. And Brian's been doing it for a little while. So, that was a really good it was really Jose came back said this is fantastic. Then, we had some good coffee at the soups Monday morning. It was just uh Dr. Detta and Keith Jensen. And so, they had some good conversations. cuz Keith always got something he wants us to he's always got some
015suggestions on how we can improve. We appreciate him being there. And then the afternoon we had a conversation with a parent came in talking a little bit about playing time, a little about some frustrations she had with some stuff. And then we had another mom and her family come in. She just wanted to introduce her husband to us because she comes almost every month and she runs our floral dance group at the high school. So she in the elementary school she started that. So they're really excited to be there and talked a lot with D about them with duel. Tomorrow we'll have all the superintendents in the in the region um plus a couple of their assistants and such here doing some work with our principles on instructional leadership. We're using our principles as guinea
016pigs. Um they've been volunte um but we're going to have breakfast and lunch at the learning center. That'll be interesting. And then on the 17th a couple of us are going to go to thea SCR legislative breakfast at YBC. And then if you're not aware, Christmas is right around the corner. So we'll have things will be all quiet, all is calm, and all is bright. And that'll get us through January. I was here uh after the thing that uh went the breakfast deal. I' I'd come down because I had some issues with my trying to do my uh surveys. So Rob was telling me about the the people that were the businesses and everything. And I kind of mentioned to Rob that it would be nice if Amy or somebody got a hold of maybe
017the newspaper or even the news to see if they would come down and do a story on that and try to promote some of the businesses for getting involved. So it might, you know, help help them a little bit to show that, you know, hey, we're trying to do better in your, you know, to promote your business, you're promoting us. And, you know, maybe they'll come down to a little story on that. So, and I'm glad you mentioned that. Sorry to interrupt. Um, we actually had Amy do a bunch of live filming and still shots and we're compiling all the video and footage and we're having the high school um, videography program create a a short promotional video to the work that we're doing so we can so that we can share with other community
018members to help them who missed it, but also something we can share with the newspaper as well. Awesome. And and Yep. media. Great. Okay, I'm really done now. Okay, we're going to move on to uh reorganizing the board. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Well, he was underneath of under eight. It had the students and then there's a little Sorry. It's kind of a little sub thing. I'm sorry, Mr. How could I ever forget about Mr. Shre? Oh, and and it even says here, the floor is all yours. It actually says that in here. Sorry. In bold red letters. Yeah, I'm sorry. It needs to it's going to have to be underlined next time. Anyway, sorry Mr. Shre, can you year end financial report, please? Yes. So, it's up on your up on the screen.
019You also have a copy of it which we will send out digitally after the meeting. So, and I try to keep it short. It's 21 slides. I try to keep it at 10, but I just couldn't quite make it. So, I'll go quick. But interrupt me as I'm going through if you have any questions. Um, so first of all, always talk about enrollment. Enrollment is very critical to to dollars coming to the district. That's how we receive aortionment is the number of students that we have. And you can see the K12 enrollment. Um we had budgeted 3,349. Uh 3,426 showed up and so we have 77 above budget which is always good. We don't want to see that below budget. That makes it there's a little more. So I jumped to the subtotal is what
020I did on that slide. And then the other ones are in here just a reference point. the running start. How many students are in running start? Again, these are by FTE. Um, so there's actually more students. I see running start there actually more students. Those are FTE. So there's probably more students with 60 in running start drop engagement vocational vocational the 712 the 78 program 912. And this is always important. Hey, how's it looking over the last 10 years? Well, it looked pretty good back in 14 15 and then again in 1617 and 1718 and it's been a kind of a gradual slide. Um the solid line that's blue coming out towards the top and does cross over which is good on the top that's actual enrollment and the one below it that is the
021fuchsia color square is the budget. And so we've been budgeting trying to stay ahead of the game. You can see the actual enrollment um from 2122 was 3,441 and we ended this year at 3,426. So we're sliding down coming back, but it's it's um it's not bouncing back fast. And this is always this one I've added last year and this was going to give you information from some of the categorical programs programs we have. We have title one on here, uh, transitional bilingual program, the LAP program, the migrant program, and the special ed program. And the percentages are percentage of students that are in these programs. Some students may be in more than one program. So when there's a percentage in here for particular year to particular year, it may like if I look at
022title one, it says 80% of the students the green 80% of the students 80.38%. Title one and laugh, there's another 45.45. I'm going, man, that's that's like 125%. So, that's because they're crossing it over as an example. And the other thing that I had on this special ed, just want to make a point. You see special ed um we had 14.78% of the population in 2021 and we've gradually moved up to this last year was 16.61 and the state only funded um that year in 2324 they funded up to the ceiling was 15% of your population. So we're still above that. Before that it was 13.5%. Those other three years was 13.5 was all they would want for the ceiling. So we've always been over that ceiling for what you see on the graph last
023four years and that was 15% and then this year in 2425 the ceiling is 16% of the population they will their funding. Do we know approximately how many students we have this year for center? Um, we're still over 16 close to 17%. 16.61. [Music] Um, well, she's asking about Oh, yes. Yeah, that's 2324. So, about the same. I can bring this to another spreadsheet when I finish and give you, but that's close. We're still over the 16, close to the 17% or second. Um, and then in here, I'm going to go through each one of the funds really quick. The other funds I I tried to keep it one slide. The general fund is a couple of slides. Um again in your in your um the area financial statements that I handed you also has
024these same types of numbers in here. We're going to go through the next few slides, but I want to go through them real quick for you. Um and the revenues and you look at the big picture. We look at the local revenues, the state revenues, uh federal dollars coming in and from other agencies. Um you can see there the numbers in front of you. Uh the the short on the federal again this came up last year too. I know we had had my presentation the federal we have the $1 million not not the federal the federal has that esser in there and so there's additional pieces in there um in case we not to spend all the dollars and so we build capacity and the actual dollars are less as far as the revenues but
025also means that we had fewer expenditures. When I get to expenditures, the expenditures on the federal side will also be less because that's a claim process in the federal side and the other agencies. That's where I was going to talk about the $1 million contingency. And so that skews the budget a little bit because that's where that contingency is at when we talk about the contingency for the revenue and expenditures. And so I put a little footnote down there for you. So, it actually shows that we received uh $33,000 less than we anticipated, but then we also didn't have the expenditures either. When I get to expenditures, we'll talk about that. So, overall, the revenues were down 2.6 million compared to budget is where they are and not a problem. So, all these are fine.
026Here shows a pie chart. I still call them pie charts. They call circle charts not these days but they call I should change shouldn't I reference stay the way you are okay um so state dollars coming in are 78.73% that's the largest pieces coming in then the federal dollars at 16.32 and then the two smaller pieces the local which would be our levy it's 4.14 would be the levy and any other money we collect locally within the district any fines or fees those types of Um and then a very small piece is just other um then I want to just point out real quick on revenue reductions we talked about during the year. So yes, LEA came in lower $591,000 than we had had anticipated because of the property taxes increasing. Uh the other thing
027that comes up and I want just to clarify real quick for the board, I know you all know but I thought I'd clarify it in the slide that the district receives levy dollars as approved by voters. So we just because the the tax property taxes went up, it doesn't mean we're we do not collect more. We only collect that the voters passed and they passed um 2 million $2 million in 2023 and 2,150,24. That's not on the slide here, but these numbers are showing because the fiscal year crosses over from September to August to September, then eight months and then next year. And this is what we budgeted. and we budget the 2,39,000 which is a blending of those two two levy pieces and the actual and I want to put on here also is
028the estimated tax rate we estimated $153 however the assessments came in much higher and so was $135 um I have the preliminary information from the county assessor and it looks like the uh property taxes are are going up in the Yakma county I don't have Benton County yet but Yakma County is 3%. So they're finally have to come back on the average. I don't know if you're in 16% again. Thank goodness. But that's still going to put us under the $150 a,000, isn't it? Yes, it is. Um, and then again, here's all the expenditures based upon the categories that they have within your F19. F186, which happens to be the year in financial statements, and they use regular instruction. uh special ed, vocational education, compensatory programs, other instructional and that's also where that that contingency
029is at on the expenditure side and that's why the number the actual would always be lower because of that piece and federal stimulus that's where the we call them er all the time but here's a federal federal stimulus um we had budgeted 3.7 actual was 1.699 699. This is in the general fund. So in capital projects, we collected another 2,125,000. So that's why that's off a little bit there. Uh community services are minor little things that happen during the summer. And then um then we have support services. Support services anywhere from all the way from the school board. I'm thinking of numbers here. The numbers. So school board, the business office, the trans office, the custodians, the maintenance, all those are all part of the support set, support services. Um, and again, uh, the actual
030is under budget. Uh, here's another pie chart. I went to the next one, especially the pie chart. You can see regular instruction is 43.2%. Um, special support services are 23%, special ed is 11.16, and You can look at that and the general fund summary is we had revenues at 65 million expressions 64 million. So net operating uh balance was at 410,000 we transferred half a million. So the increase actually decrease to the fund balance was 89,000. And then on the fund balance let's go further into the fund balance. fund balance restricted fund balance the beginning and ending. So when we close the books it's not really it's not like the revenues expenditures when we close the books we say okay what do we have that's restricted funds we need to restrict them no dollars that
031we have received uh this year okay this fiscal year and we already have the money so we have to restrict the dollars to those funding sources for the next year and so we had a little bit of a carryover in sure I get it so we had carryover in um in the middle school CTE program uh lap had a carryover and special ed had a carryover. So special ed had the largest one. They had a carryover of 165,000. So part of that increase where they went to starting to fund the 15% really helped us out and not having some of the other expenditures in the program. Um I won't go into you're probably aware large expenditure we've had in the past and did not have it this last year. Um then we have here committed
032uh the assigned piece assigned there's three different sections I fill out to determine assign assign there's a one uh that has the assigned to other capital projects so I take and put a list together and I can share that in a future date or at any time you'd like the different things we take a look at projects that may happen in the general fund and put that list together the other one that puts together is financial impacts of labor agreements uh such as we might have additional subs and we haven't accounted for them to have medical insurance as an example. So I reserve some money for that piece. And then we have We can't go that way. Am I talking too fast? No. No. Talking about I was making a little side. Okay. It's all
033right. I can talk. Sorry, Brad. That's about you. No. No. He's got crazy ideas. Very good. Right. And then um other assigned uh such as um we allow all the not allowed we the buildings have fundraisers if they have any fundraisers but have a general fund. Those also carry over the assigned category. So there's a quick overview of those. Down below here you can see the total fund balance. Yes, it decreased by 89 uh,000. However, the fund balance was 10.8 million which is considerably more than what we thought it was going to be. Right. Yes. Cuz didn't we think that 89,000 was going to be like a million and a half and the budget? Yes. Yeah. And the budget. But you can see the budget. You go back and look at the revenue expenditures. Yeah.
034We keep an eye on those pieces. Um total any fund balance I put in here for historical information where they were in 2019 um all the way through 2024. These are all August dates of course. And so generally speaking, we've always hovered right around the 18% 15 to 18% mark. They increased um in 2020 and 21 and started to come back down in 22 23. The next slide I'm going to bounce to the next slide here. So part of that is is the ESSER funds uh supported education educational activities starting in April uh through August 2024. So we had these influx of additional dollars from the federal government. Also the state continued to pay a portionment through the pandemic. March 2020 through August 2021. Now I know it wasn't necessarily over in August 2021 but
035that fiscal year that August 20 2021 is when they continued to say okay submit your enrollment continue to educate the best you can. We didn't have everybody coming in and so there wasn't there wasn't this extra time overtime. We are providing services but not to the level that we do when everybody is in house. Does that and so that's why the fund balance grows during these types of type of events and and with the federal government kicking in. And so we're getting back to a point where we're starting to level off and you can see in 2024 as we went through and finished the financial statements we even though we transfer we did transfer half a million. I know it wasn't a full million and we didn't put anything in the in the transportation vehicle
036fund which I'll get to later. [Music] Um but we still by doing that still maintain a healthy fund. Uh the next slide uh refers to and it's been here to give you historical data on the revenues and expenditures on the chart here over the years for the last 10 years. You can see the growth of the revenues and I'm going to call it fuchsia. It's not really fuchsia but let's just call it fuchsia. And the other ones like the yellow the yellow their expenditures and you can see that many of the years the expenditures are less than the uh revenues which is good news. In fact all the years are that way. Uh and those do this does not include transfers but that actually operational revenues operational expenditures where we are these running and you
037can see the also did an overlay of the fund balance. Well, considering some of the insurance hikes and all what we've been encumbering, it's still nice to see that the yellow is less than the expenditures are less than the revenue and we have fantastic class sizes. So, K3 we're at 15.52 state funds at 17, but we're still lower. I don't have any slides for that, but it's always important to relate it back to what's happening classroom. That's why you get kind of the program percentage of students in those programs. You have an idea there and also the area in financials. We still try to maintain all those programs. So, how come how come you show 10.81 on the is that dot 10.81 million? Yeah. Or is that a percentage? Okay. That's the f fund. Okay.
038Yep. I thought it was a percentage. I was looking at the front and the back. Sorry. Yeah, we didn't put the No, we put the dollars in there because of the graph had millions. Yeah. Had dollars on the side. Okay, let's keep going. Moving right along. Thank you, Dan. Ask more. Ask more questions. And here's the big question always comes up per pupil expenditures. You have the last basically 10 years. I've been saying 10 years. It might be nine, but you can see here that um we've been very close in the last few years as to what the state average is. Um we don't have 2023 24 has not been published by the state yet. So I'm able to associate that to the state. Um and also the numbers in here for the district are
039based upon our calculations of actual enrollments we have and not necessary if you go out to the FBI report cards. These numbers may not match up and they won't match up because we use leverage for enrollment. They pull some they have more enrollment numbers because this is actual our actual enrollment not our budgeted enrollment. Actual enrollments. Yes. And um yeah, we very very close. In fact, in 2019 20, we actually spent more than the state average. And we're very close a dollar more in 22 23. Yeah, you're right there. It's crazy though, that trend. It's going to double within Well, maybe next year 15. It's going to double looks like or 26 maybe. And then real quick, one slide per fund. Capital projects fund is the next one. Local, state, u local would for the
040most part capital project the local would be uh the investment earnings. Um the state uh money comes in if there was reimbursement. This has to be reimbursement from the state. Part of that is from the u the playground playground equipment. And so that would have been the state pieces sitting in there. That's most of the playground equipment was 190,000. So that's most of it. The other uh pieces federal special purpose that's where the ESRE money you can see er supported 2,125,000 of the HVAC project. We had Smith and the Mccclure. There's the transfer of the half a million coming in. And so the difference um is 995,000. We um the revenues came in lower uh than we anticipated. But uh but also we didn't do some of the projects as you'll see down below. You
041have the projects, the big projects are listed here. And so the projects, the HV progress, the HT pro playground, the roof repairs we had done, uh the admin windows, uh very important looking at Gene and Jean's so happy to have those windows. Yeah, leaseold tax. And so the overall difference here on the expenditures is we did not have 4.6 million in expenditures that we had budgeted. We budgeted enough to make sure we have projects moving forward and just able to complete all of them. The excess revenue expenditures. So the fund dropped by 692,000. And so you see in the very bottom if it dropped by that much then you can see the fund balance started 7.2 uh minus the 692,000 and ended fund balance of 6.5 million in the capital projects fund. And that's pretty
042dog unhealthy after finishing a high school the construction. uh going back and give you a little historical data when we finished the four schools 20 years ago pretty much after about two years there was no money for many years in the capital projects unless we had transferred money in. Wow. It just there's no it doesn't generate money unless you you mostly sell bonds or transfer in types of things. Well, that's nice. This is epic spot. Uh debt service is pretty much just paying the the bonds that are out there that we have to pay. We we collect do the c tax collections and I estimate when I do the tax collections I estimate we'll have 98% collections even though historical data shows 99% so I'd be conservative on the revenues our revenue still came in
043lower by $21,000 than than what I use 98% and it still was a little bit lower. So we'll go back and take a look at that one. It's it's close when you look at 2.7 million 21,000. It's not a lot, but it but it's something. Uh down below is just the boiler plate. Okay, you have voted bonds, voted bonds, interest. Now, those are the two bonds we have in the high school bond transfer fees and other fees are in here. Um and so overall, the um debt service fund dropped by $19,000, which is fine. We're still well above where we probably should be. At the end of every year, you should have um about 5 to 10%. We maintain a little more about at the very end like August, but December 31st, we need to
044make sure that fund the debt service fund isn't overly funded. So, we want to hit a sweet spot. We're trying to bring it down anyway. So, we want to see this number drop a little bit. Even though the Even though the I'm going to explain that even though the bond payments are increasing, we still want to see this this overall fund balance drop a little bit every year come down. Not much, just we're trying to stabilize that. And again, the assessed value we ask me $1.75 and they came in at oh it was 2004 cents and it came in $1.75 in this particular fund on those assessments. that the voters approved 365. 365. So, we're doing great. We're doing fantastic. Yeah. So, uh the next one's trans vehicle fund. U local sold buses would be
045in there. The state would be the depreciation they provide. The transfer, we did not do the transfer this year. I'll explain that at the bottom why my recommendation is not to transfer this year. Um the total on the revenue is only $34,000 less than we anticipated. Uh but you see the depreciation the state from 209 to 58 was actually greater. They came through and provided more uh provided additional dollars and the depreciation we had anticipated. Um and then bus purchases we paid 430,000 out for the bus purchases. Uh in 2023 24 the fund dropped by 146,000 and you'll see the fund balance down below. The beginning fund balance was 1,ion25,000 uh decreased by 146,000. So that fund is pretty dog healthy at 879,000. That is really really healthy. Usually if you're going year year to
046year to buy buses you may only have you may close the books out. You may only have 100,000 left in there. That's why I suggested not to pro to profit. transfer this time because the fund was healthy enough at this point in time and we want to maintain the general fund without moving a lot of money on the general fun maintain that good. So those two factors um ASB ASB is broken down each each school has their own ASB they control their ASB they cannot transfer money between ASBs they stay within their own and that's why this little this chart here is a little bit different based upon schools so you can see the schools are beginning balances their revenues their expenditures and ending balances the three elementary schools the only thing that goes through
047their ASV happens to be the book sales everything else they put in their general fund. So they wouldn't be on be able to see these on here because they're in the general fund. And then the middle school and high school have an ASV and so they have funds that are coming through their programs. There is a total down here bold where it says total. So that is a total beginning balance the revenue expenditures ending balance. The reason that's important because the next one talks about budget. So I flipped the chart a little bit. Another one for left to right. This one going from top to bottom would show how we compare the budget. And so the budget's in here and comparing the budget budgeted revenues compared to the total revenues, 599,000 was budgeted for revenues,
048they brought in 282,000, a difference of 317,000. They brought in less dollars than they had anticipated and they provided for us to put in the budget. Uh they also expended less $331,000 less on expenditures. Um and then over here the balance uh overall overall all ASBs decreased by $20,000. Now this is an interesting one. Ah I didn't get this close enough. So we started with 202,000 decrease by 19,477. Okay. So that's a type of it should have been this um where you 2023. Yes. one of those. I I think the 19,000 is the right one. So, I I gota I didn't prove it. So, I believe that look at them real quick and check this quick here. Between the 317 and the 331 under the difference columns, it looks to me like there should be
04919,477. So, that sounds about right. They're both They're both very close numbers, but God, got it. We look at a lot of numbers. Double and triple checkins. That hurts. That hurts. I'm It happens. It happens. That hurts. Excuse me. I think we can afford a couple of those. Hurts. Um the trust fund again, it has a balance of 465,000 to start off. Brought in 14,180 and then had a scholarship. the scholarship money went out um $2 for scholars and $10,000 authorized by the board and that's usually that'll be coming up in January. We'll take a look at that. Make some terminations in January maybe have a check in February if anything you want to change. So can we raise the amount that we since we're bringing in more interest and we're giving out can we
050give out a little more or is this mandated what we give out? That's I'll bring that bring it with me. There's the board has made a decision and has changed over the years. Here's the five criteria and how they would determine how much to give out on a scholarship. That's going to be changed. So, I'll bring that to the next meeting. Let you look over the document first. That's the first step. Check get looking at that document and then say, "Okay, do we want to change what it says? You want to leave it the same?" And they don't get out. Whole board decision. Yeah. We were talking about that very thing same thing today like we'll never get caught up. You'll never pay this down if you're paying less than we make in interest. Yeah.
051I mean, at least it's a perpetual Yeah. or at least try to pay what you're paying in interest doesn't go up any Yeah. Even if you went down a little, it is the end of the world. Yeah. It's not the end of the world. Um, and this one is just the big picture from the F96. I keep saying the smallest of all of mine doesn't look too bad. I need your glasses, man. I'm not even going to try. Moving along. Moving right along. And this one says the fund balance. All the good stuff's this big. Yeah. This one shows the fund balance here in ASV fund um dropping by or increasing by 19,000. Oh, is that's the amount that you were talking till the 1947. Yeah, that's where the 19 over here 477 34 is
052right. So, oh, I'm not going to dwell on. Let's keep moving. Let's move on. He's going to go fix that tonight, isn't he? Before he leaves. Oh, white out. Don't even talk that type of word with an accountant. Any any questions or additional information you may like in the be quick? Just be a quick overview. No. Good job, Brad. Great. Yeah, Brad, an $1,100 typo is better than 11 million mistake. Some districts in the north of us make 11 million mistakes. We'll take an $1,100. You didn't you went there. Yeah. Know Brad's got you don't know how happy it makes me feel to talk to other people and they go, "So, is your district in trouble?" No, that's pretty much all I say. I don't really get into it any more than that, but no,
053they're doing a good job. So, I feel great to be able to help people. Thank you, Brad. That's awesome. And thank you to your team. Yeah, we Thank you. We know how it all gets done. Yeah, we need works a lot on it. All the branches. Well, then the network outage that was Oh, that couldn't have helped. That's a really fun curveball. Talking about Yeah. Aren't you just happy though that we're not hearing the little dingy anymore? Every five minutes, every two minutes are going. Oh, yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks. What I was telling Rob was we were talking about going down to a 10% fund balance. I think I wouldn't go any below 15 anymore. Don't Don't make him go home and think about that tonight. Like you're at 16. Hello. Yeah. You
054got to give us a little buffer as you start to talk about where you want to set that mark at. You know, if it's low enough, I can stay above it. Oh, no, no, no. I'm with you. Most most districts are trying to get get to five. Oh, I know. Yeah. Up to five. Up to five. Yeah. I've heard of some having to vote to go below two. I think is originally at half a percent right now balance. Was that proer had to vote to go below two? I'd heard that. Had to have a special meeting to go below two on their fund balance. Good shape. So yeah, we'll continue to be in good shape. when we ridiculed you when we were to had to have a special meeting. You set the bar so high,
055Brad, that's why we like it. Okay. Thank you. Awesome. Okay, now we can move on to reorganizing the board. My opinion on that is I haven't even got there yet. Okay. I thought I thought we've moved there. Oh, sorry. I'd like to Oh, this time I'd like to open the floor for nominations for board chair. I think that we have done a good job with where we're at and I think my opinion is we leave everything the way it is and I would make a motion. Can I do it all together? Make I don't have any idea if you can do that. To leave all the positions the same. Do we have any discussion on the motion? Does anybody want to go somewhere else or do something else? I'm I'm fine where I'm at, but
056if somebody else wanted to do it, I'm not here to board anything. Then I'm happy with staying on the curriculum council representative. What else can we give Andrea? Andrea, guess what? You're on six committees. Yeah, you're the Moose Sergeant-at-Arms. I would I like being nothing. That's nice. Never. You're never nothing. I I would agree with uh Chuck if everybody's happy with where we're at right now that we continue this year. Um I would be interested maybe in next year taking a look at the legislative representative, but right now I just do not have the capacity to do it justice. So Okay. And I I like it the way it is as well. Well, I this I got away with how how do I say this? I'm not sure she did much with the legislative stuff.
057So, even if you were able to do a little bit might be Does that sound bad? No. I I We've had those conversations, but I think you could do it if you wanted to. And maybe maybe you could do some things. You know, if you could fit a couple things in would be better than because I don't think we really did anything. We probably haven't. Um and I'm still okay supporting if I have capacity. I just do not want to commit to it and not be That's fair enough. So, I'm fine being the backup when you're not around, but you're always here. So, yeah, I'm gonna try to change that. So, I guess we need a motion for this. Correct. Made a motion. Oh, yeah. I need a second on it. Yeah. All those in
058favor? I opposed. Okay, that part goes away. Oh, the fun part now. Okay. Part. So, I'm not sure if this is the right place to bring this up, but uh I guess I'm just going to do it. Um, in this monitoring, of course, I had some issues getting on this and I actually had to come down here and and even uh um Ernesto had issues getting me on to a couple of them and actually had to send them to him. So, it's a learning curve and and I had some conversations with a couple of the board members on some of these and I even with uh uh Rob on why we don't get backup information on some of them. We had to get some information from Rick on that and maybe you can elaborate a
059little more as to why we don't get that. Right. So, the the ENS reports and the EEL's reports are things that happen in the district that you all don't see on a day-to-day basis. That's why we provide you monitoring reports. the board superintendent relationship and and the governance policy all happens here. So either Dan could write a report or it's just public information that's already out there. Hence the not there's no need for a report. So Rick gave us because he asked me like that's a good question. I don't remember us asking him that. So Rick gave us some clarity on that and and it makes sense because it's monitoring the board uh super relationship is monitoring ourselves right we don't know the stuff that goes on dayto day. So we need that. And so
060to answer those questions there, the way I looked at it, we just have to go back into our memory and what happened here at our meetings and we should be able to answer that stuff. I think so. The one thing that that I think um I'd like to raise as a conversation point is what is it that we are expected to put out in our minutes? Um because as I start to go through everything, I grapple with do we need a comment for everything? Do we not? Because again, I think the goal of the government polic governance policy was to monitor ourselves as a district, you know, as a board publicly. Um, and at first and and again, I've done it. I did it this time around, too, was I was like saying, "Okay, yes,
061we're good. We didn't have to have a a comment." But then, like you mentioned, Chuck, and and kind of like to your point, Rob, the public doesn't even know sometimes what we're doing here. So then the comments is where it's important even if we're in compliance um or making reasonable progress. But I wanted everyone else's thoughts on that too. I invite you guys to open up about what what I took from Rick when we did this was the only time you would write a comment is if we did if we marked reasonable progress on here there would be no comments. If we marked marked reasonable progress with exceptions then there would be a comment. And that's how I took the train. He confirmed with us when we asked him about it. So, so what I
062would like to do and see what you you guys think about this and I did talk with Rob and Jean about this when I was here. I think we're all learning. What are we as individuals looking for from Rob and his group? What are we looking for from our group? And what are our personal expectations of what to put back into this? What I would like to do if you guys are up for this is right after the first of the year, I would like to have a session with just the board and Rob and and if Gene needs to be there or not, it's be up to Rob. We have like a 4 hour and and you know the board and have a little 4hour deal where we talk about really what are our
063expectations? What are we wanting to see from Rob and his group? And what do we expect the rest of us to maybe send back? Kind of like what Heather was saying, cuz I get that point that, you know, just putting on there. Yes. But, you know, maybe it's yes with, you know, uh, we did a great job with this or maybe I'd like to see a little more of this. But what I'd like to do is see if you guys are up for right after the first of the year trying to do a Saturday morning. you know, we go down to Brute Awakening or something. She has a meeting room and we meet for four hours and we kind of go over this. You know, what are we what are our expectations? Yeah. He even
064brought up we could go through the the upcoming policies. They're like, "What data would you like to see for these policies? What information?" So that way we don't have to do it next year. We could have it next month. It's actually not fair in a lot of ways to have a lot of comments on things that we really haven't set some standards for and expectations for. Yep. And I think most of the and this is just a personal thing a lot of the stuff if we're if we are missing something or there is something else instead of at least this first year instead of going back and you know I want to see this or I want to see that it's approved with or we're making reasonable comment or progress with exception and my exception
065is what I would like to see more of but it would still be approved to go forward but we would just move on with it and then look at this next year and learn from it as we go instead of you know well this really wasn't here let's see it again this next month I think all of them need to be approved with you know reasonable progress with exception and anybody can put an exception in there like you know hey next I'd like to see this and if the group agrees next year that yes that's what we want to see then we'll see it if the group doesn't then we don't but um yeah but I I I have a lot of questions too and not sure what you guys want but if we could
066set something up I think it would help personally I think it would well and we need to have the discussions because even when it comes to the interpretations of the policies um you know what what one person may interpret it to be might be different than what the others right and so that's going to drive what we're asking for too um if we're saying for example all students will have x y and But then somebody interprets it as if some students or maybe these students you know again and that would determine also with us if we when we talk on that day is revising policies because that's what's going to drive us also is we start having questions on interpretation of it then it's going to determine okay how do we want the policy to
067look based on our interpretation. Hopefully, we all have open enough minds to realize that we're one person. We may not be the person in five years. You know, it's it's kind of we got to look at it as as close to the as a group as we can. So, anyway, that's a good idea. So, January sometime. Yes. after the first of the year. I'd like we we have two meetings, but I'd like to try to find um and maybe Jean can send something out right after the holidays that says, "Hey, let's pick a Saturday and see, you know, maybe pick two of them." And if people can decide, yes, we can make one of them, then we just make something happen. and you know try to make it fairly early even if we did I
068mean I don't even mind 7:00 but you know 7 8:00 8:00 8 to noon um or 8 to 1 uh anyway if you guys think that's a good idea then maybe we can get something set up to do that yes because I'm not sure what to receive and I think I don't know that Rob and his people know exactly what we want to receive and it's going to be a learning curve so and we've also figured out how we can send you the survey and include the report in the same email. Wow. We don't have to go back and Jean's Jean's getting Jean's getting top shelf here. But I did uh sit down and went over all of the responses and I looked through every one of them and I was able to read them
069and and uh uh see everybody's the the comments and stuff and yeah. So anyway, but if you guys are cool with that, um I would like to try to set something up with that right after the um first of the year. Yes. Yep. And one thing I also want to ask because I'm going to say I was guilty of this again still trying to process or um internalize what this process looks like. I did not get all my surveys into Gene before Friday. And so the reminder I was like, "Oh my gosh, I need to call Gan because I will not get to those." But I have to remember they're going to be in the board packet. But my question is, Jean, is Friday enough time for you? I mean, should we back it up
070to Wednesday or so? So, you have enough time on your end? If I could have it by the beginning of the day on Friday. Beginning of day Friday because that's when I start making all my copies. You don't like to do it on Saturday night. You might have started on Friday and going into Saturday. Okay. Like there was 18 links this time. Yeah. She's getting so good at that. He's so good at cursing Leonard. With a smile though, right? Always. He's so kind to me. I bet I went into Rob's office 20 times between Thursday and Friday and said, "Okay, now." But this is more this is a super professional looking agenda, you know, dialed in. Yes. And it's it's been great, but it's just a learning curve. And I'm going to say Friday morning
071would be awesome. Yeah. By 8:00. I love it in the sense of I can download all these documents now individually because when we're talking about it I can actually go in instead of having to be like which page was it at again. Yeah. I had to go find the email and then I would open it up and grab the thing and go okay that's what it said and then I would go back to the thing. So yeah and on the next one it'll be the link of the results and the we'll also put the report next to it all on the same landing page. Perfect. Perfect. I think there's only one report for this next one. Next one's the easy one. It's really easy. Nice. Saw Jose for a while. He's got all the heavy
072legs. Okay. So, now time to dig in. Time to dig in. All right. I'm gonna I'm gonna just open up the ends number six. And if you if you um controlclick it, it will open in a separate tab. So, you don't have to go back and forth. That's way too technical for me. Not even really sure what he said. Sorry. Can I confirm that we are supposed to um vote on each question? No, just the policy as a whole. Just the policy as a whole. But we need to go through each question. But you're going to have Yeah. If there's multiple ones and especially if there's comments. Yeah. If there's comments you go through. If it's all everybody's reasonable progress, then Okay. Then you just it's quick and easy. Okay. He said they can get
073through four or five policies in like 10 minutes just because they've got the cadence down really quickly. Yeah, that makes sense because I know that was part of our um I think what held us up last time. Well, one, we were all still trying to look at the Yep. everything, but um not having to vote on everyone and the wording and everything on every single one. And I can vote. Yes. If need be, right? You're allowed. If need be. You wouldn't vote then every time. Well, if it's a if it if you guys all vote, it's unanimous. There's really no need for me to vote. If it came down If it came down to where it was two to two, then I would I would have to vote because we would need three. Yeah. No
074pressure though, right? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Um, so I with this first one, E6, I'm okay with the not enough info yet in order to answer. Honestly, I'm I'm fine with that. Okay, hold on. Let me see where we're at because that was pretty much on all three of That's what I Yeah. Which one was uh Okay. So, students will graduate with their four-year cohort. Do you find the superintendent made reasonable progress? Very hard to do that with the superintendent only in his second year. Don't give me slack. Now, next year, you're going to be held to a lot higher standard. 95 this year. I'm still on the Zoom. Do you want me to bring them up or you or you'll have them in front of you? Well, I you I have it all. Oh, that's
075why I brought my laptop this time. Good thinking, Dan. I know. Well, I think they got tired of me trying to get on the other way and just get me off and said, "Forget it. You're done." So, um, does anybody have any comments or questions on this one? Or do we move on to a motion? It's It's up to you guys. Hold on one second. I'm taking a look at my notes here. I'm a little a tiny bit um by saying you've made reasonable progress but not enough information yet to answer it honestly. That's kind of a very that's a very odd answer to something by saying it is in compliance but you don't have enough information to answer it honestly. I'd almost rather have it say I think we can I'm in complant. Yeah,
076I'm in compliant, but at this point in time, the information that we have is from 2023 or whatever. I don't think they just don't give you the choice that is I don't think but saying I can't another year to build this information, right? But not saying I can answer it honestly really you then it should be in non-compliance because this is what again the the community can see and they don't understand what we're seeing, right? So um I I have a recommendation for that for consideration if we were to change that comment. It could be reasonable progress with exceptions and the exceptions will be while ground graduation rates are higher than the state 2023 data informs us of a decline in graduation rates. The district has presented strategies initiatives in place to promote graduation rates
077through the efficacy of such programs. Although the efficacy of such programs is not measurable as 2024 data has not yet been presented. So that kind of speaks to what is it but there is reasonable progress because of the initiatives because of the strategies that are in place. Um we just need to see the data to support that and recommendation. But if you all want to adopt it, we can have her email it to us. Well, I think we can just make a note of it and make that change to it, don't we? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. She can email me that verb. Oh, I see what you're saying. Yes. So you could the motion can be made to utilize the verbiage that would be sent to you. Yep. The comment to be sent. I
078I like some that better than what this says personally. I mean this really says it to me. I'm kind of simple that way. But when it says can't answer it honestly I Anyway, that's just me personally. So it's up to you guys. Um kind of going along the same lines too when we talk about let's see which one's this one tied to standard three. If we talk about reasonable progress um with the exceptions being strategies to prepare students demonstrate insufficient or demonst waities to prepare students demonstrate insufficient data to demonstrate enrollment enlistment or certification data for all students. Which one's this one? Sorry I got to go back. I try to put these all in a word document so I could read it all together with our responses, but the pictures sometimes don't carry over.
079When you click on it on the on the packet on the thing that says click, it doesn't have all that in there. Um, so I'm looking at what was presented to us from the district. Oh, I see what you're saying. Okay. Okay. Yeah. I'm not look Yeah. Okay. I'm only looking at the response. Yeah, because the data that's there is and actually some of the wording is really good too. Oh, this is what my question was on that one. Number three, um, coming back to the interpretation. So, when we look at standard three, all Gran View students will enroll in a community college, 4-year university, enter a military career, or enter an industry recognized certification that prepares them for career and life after graduation. What it's interpreted as is all Gramby students will graduate with
080the skills, knowledge, and preparation necessary to pursue a successful postsecary pathway, whether through enrollment in a community college or four-year university, serve in the military, and or obtain an industry recognized certification. And the data that's presented is talking about like program supports strategies like gear up support to students um the ASVAB prep and uh test taking counseling services etc. But to me I'm I'm seeing those as two different things and that's where again I'm opening up the conversation saying all students will enrolled or will enter the military or will get a certification versus all students will be prepared to enroll. um because the data is going to be different on what we're asking for those two things. One's kind of program support and strategies to say we're getting you ready where the other one's telling
081us tell us how many kids went. But that would be a change to the policy is what you're kind of talking about. Change the interpretation. I'm saying the interpretation seems to be different to me. And so that again is going to drive what data we're asking for. So why don't I'll make a note of that and we can discuss that in January when we start then look at these. Okay, I've made a note because we're not answering yes, all students got there or no, all students didn't. Are we making reasonable progress to get to that point? It's going to take We're not going to flip a switch in one year and all students are going to achieve this. Sure. But if we have 85% of the students doing it now and in a year we
082have 87% of the students doing it, we have to decide if that's reasonable progress. I definitely agree with you and I guess to that point what I'm saying is what I see for the evidence provided is it's talking about us getting students prepared to apply and I I understand that. Yeah. And so um whichever way we decide that policy is needs to be interpreted is going to generate whether I well in my opinion I can say whether we're making reasonable progress or not. Yeah. We'll make sure we get that one. Perfect. Okay. Okay. Do we have a motion on this one or you guys have any more questions? Um, those were my questions. Um, any other questions or No. When we make the motions, did Rick clarify if we have to say which comment, you
083know, last time we were reading out the comment word for word and all of that. Did he say he said only if there's three comments that are similar I said otherwise you you could either move it and no comments are adopted. Okay. But he said but when but in reality they're all going to be adopted because they're not we're not going to change them on the record. Right. It's just when you speak it on the record they as you're all agreeing to change comments or agree adopt those comments or not. So this could be approved without comments. Yep. Yeah. Which would take that thing off of there. But we don't we don't actually go through and edit it. It's just on the record it says was approved without comments. Okay. It doesn't require any work
084on our part behind the scenes. So if we made a motion for example to approve with reasonable progress and um requesting that we change or that we come to an agreement with the final comment of the graduation rates or whatever. Yeah. We don't have to word for word say it. We can just say with the comment that we agreed upon. Yep. Okay. And then you just forward that comment to us. Right. Okay. So, I'm going to attempt to make a motion on this. I would like to make a motion to approve ENS policy six with reasonable progress applying the comment that we discussed for graduation rates to be emailed to Rob as well as um with the action to follow for discussions when it comes to question standard number three. Did I say that right?
085I think so. Have a second. I'll second it. All those in favor? Right. Post. Okay. So, let me figure out how to get off of this one because I didn't open it the way Rob said to. How do you do it so you don't keep going? Do you hover over your mouse over it and hold down control and hit your hit your and then hit space bar over it and it'll open it in a new tab. Hit the space bar. No, hold control and then hit your mouse. Oh, I was hitting my space bar. Yeah. And then it automatically opens up in a new tab. Oh, so that comes up at the top. Yep. But now mine's thinking because it's slow. Oh, there we go. Oh, there we go. Okay. then you don't have to
086worry about toggling back and forth between multiple. Okay. So, this one is um BSR1. Is that right? Yep. Okay. I did move to the right one. So, this is a BSR1. This is uh the board right. So we did have so we have four reason we have reasonable progress. Nobody checked with comments but we do have a comment. Uh well I guess it's a comment not an exception. Okay. Yeah. And that's possible. You can have a comment without an exception because it says reasonable pro with exception but it's actually under comments. We'll say kudos. So this is reasonable progress with a comment. So, the comment can flow with it. I would believe it's Yeah, I think so. Just approve. Oh, that's the only one on here. I'll make a motion to approve it. Second it.
087All those in favor? I posted. Okay. So, now I just go up here, right, Rob, and X out of that one. And then I move to the next one. Right. And you control and click. Control and click. This is BSR2. Is this fun, Brad? He was in Hawaii last week. Don't ask. Oh, Bradley. Fun right now. This is work. Yeah, this one was all pretty straightforward. We've been all really good about this. So, this is a couple different questions and actually all five responded to this one. We're able to all get on this one, which is good. With no comments, I make a motion we approve it. Second. I'll second. All in favor? Opposed? Motion carries. Okay, let's go to BSR3 control here. I learned a new thing now. I did too. Um this one
088actually everybody got to do this one also which was good. So we did have a uh a comment which is fine. I think the comments are fine. I I actually like some comments because it it maybe explains, you know, we can come back next year or when we review this policy, maybe a comment is something we need to look at adopting if it's, you know, I agree we did this, but maybe we should look at this or whatever. Are there any questions or comments on this one? No, I'm fine with it the way it is. Have a motion. I'll make a motion to approve BSR3 with comments. I'll second it. All in favor? I opposed. All right. BSR4. We're getting better. Getting better. Yeah, we're getting better. We're not afraid of challenges. That's for sure.
089Right. Oh man, we jumped in the deep end of this one, didn't we? Mhm. So if I can comment on this just to let everyone know. So first of all, that very first comment on Q1, I started breaking it down in the other questions. So that one actually could be inclusive of Where are you at? So I am on question one where it talks about the board delegates and holds the superintendent accountable for etc. That could that I basically started breaking pieces of that down into the other question. Oh, I see. But if we adopted it, it should encompass it all. You seen there was more questions. Yeah. Hey, wait. That's on this one, too. I I like it the way it is, and I move to approve it. Second. I'll second it. All in
090favor? I opposed. Motion carries. Okay, now we're on the E. Which one? E8. E8. Wait for it to come up at the top. There it is. Okay, this one we got information sent to us. to review. Only four of us got uh were able to do it, it seems. This is Brad's stuff, isn't it? He worked well on his own. I did look at your stuff, Bradley. Bradford. Bradford, can we note this one down for discussion in January, particularly when it comes to like the reports? Question four, for the reports and the timelines allow reports or filings required by any state or federal agency to be overdue or inaccurately filed. What would you like to discuss about that one? So I think um again deciding what it is we want to see the uh evidence
091that was presented was like a list of reports like some examples of list of reports but I think do we need to decide if we want to include the list of reports in the timelines maybe when they were submitted or like what does that look like? Um, one thing I thought about when I was looking at this over the weekend was, uh, going back to some of our discussions when we were looking at hiring a superintendent, like how do we know this transitions, right? If somebody leaves, if somebody's gone, whatever. I'm sure you guys have this somewhere. But again, being able to demonstrate um that it's there, these were the timelines, we met them. Um, what data we're asking for, we get that report. Brad keeps us informed on when reports are due at our
092board meetings and in his reports. He's there have been several times in our meetings where he'll say this report was due and it was filed on this date and it was on time. Mhm. So, so then again, we have the discussions maybe we go back to then we can voice that perhaps or what is it that we need to say in here to show we're in compliance and it goes kind of to like the way I'm thinking of it again is the community. How are we showing accountability to that or how are we able to be transparent in our monitoring? The reports are public information. So anybody that questioned that could come and ask for a copy of the report and see that they were on time. On time. But if Brad didn't somewhat if
093he did not show us one that was late, we would never know. Right. But I guess what what do we want him to show to prove it? If he just says this is when the report was due and I did it, then is that going to satisfy the question you have or do we need to see something that proves what he's telling us is right? I don't know that I'm ready to answer that today. I think we need to think about that and like I say in January we can come and discuss it like whether we feel satisfied with the way that it's presented like the packet that we saw today or whether we think we might need something else. Yeah, maybe especially when all of us are there. Maybe there's another report that gets
094ran that shows you know I don't know. I'm sure you ran into this with the audits too, Brad, that they look at all that. I know we get audit reports but I don't know how many of them are based on that but yeah because like I said it does we are provided with some examples of reports here when we look at what the district presented to us um and maybe that's all we need we'll we can talk about that if in January we'll come together question it's trying my role is to get all the reports this was a starting the big ones that are out there. I don't think I even put on the list. I'm not looking right now. Enrollment, but enrollment goes every month. We talk about enrollment drives drives on our but
095we do provide and you're back at FIS. Here's where the enrollment is and it's always filed on time and we have the ability to go back if the enrollment we find out later that it might have been wrong three months ago, we could modify that up until we close the books up until I think it was November. And we we do an awful lot internally to monitor those things. So there are good questions. is you know what at what level we do the budget you approve those your financial uh statements come through for my world that's big piece and then enrollment we provide information I put on their S275 of which is our personnel reporting document that goes to the state it used to be a major driver also for a portion of it and
096no longer is because they no longer have a statewide salary schedule right I don't want to go too can I ask a question really quick because this might help too that says Okay, these are when all my reports are due and this is my deadlines so that my team knows what to help prep for. I do. Yeah. But each one of Yes. And like the S27 personnel one the last day to do Yes. So the staff that were in charge that they know when that is. And we also receive emails from each of the giving us updates. Your report's due in two months, your report's d one month, report due in two weeks. Okay. Like your taxes by the 15th or whatever. beginning of the year, I'm sorry, at the beginning of the year, we
097get from OSPI, I get from Becky Mlan the due dates for the monthly enrollment reports. So, I know uh December's enrollment is due next Friday. So, I'm going to file it tomorrow, right? Because I like to be a week and a half ahead in case there's any, you know, thing that I need to go and address. So, we are notified from OSPI or the state. We're notified of when these deadlines are. and if we don't meet them and I'm trying to think that so for an example I'm trying to think of of ways that you you would know so let's say that we didn't file enrolling well in one month more portion the next month then it doesn't change and all of a sudden their cash flow doesn't change right they're not able it wouldn't
098change as much so it would be embedded in that cash flow statement or in the budget status the the ripple effect would be in there I'm trying to help help you you know help to monitor and those things would be in there. Um there are other reports that come through every couple of years, but that's I think this is worth if you know what you're really trying to achieve, what you'd like to see and what you're trying to monitor. Is it monitoring every single report every single month? Maybe not that enrollment report and maybe the ripple effect that this is. Yeah. Yeah. And that's why I say I can put that together what you're looking for. What what is your level of of monitoring? Is that we want to make sure we're in compliance? Yeah,
099that's what we want to so things that are relevant to compliance. I personally don't have any issue with any of it. We've never had any ding against us ever. But what happens when you're gone? This still moved on. In 20 years when you retire 20 years, I love it. We have a 48% fun balance. Yeah. Okay. I made a note of that to talk about. Thank you, sir. Yeah. All right. Anything else on this one? Um, I'll take the blind back. Where are we at? Is this the one that had a 13 on it? No, never mind. Did we make a motion on this? No, we're still scrolling down. So, one, and I I kind of agree with this one a little bit, is the um failure to ensure the newly hired key administrators participated
100in an entrance briefing. Really to have any idea if that happens or not? Which one are you on? E8 still. Yeah. Oh, did I I'm sorry. Sorry, I moved. Did I move on one? I think that might be a different I'm on E11. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. So, I had moved on from EL8. I make a motion to approve EL8. I second this. All in favor? I post. Okay. Motion carries. Sorry, I'd already moved on to 11. I'm on 11. Okay. You have 11. I'm on 11. Let me go back to the top of 11 now. Not where I was at on this one. Um, I was reading through the evidence that was provided through the district and some of it is so we've we've uh from those who responded to the survey have said
101we're in compliance. Um, but the district did bring up some good observations that there's some things they haven't quite yet been able [Music] to complete and so they said in compliance with the following exceptions. Uh, I think those are important to note. There's a couple things like we haven't been through a full year cycle yet to know what you know to provide for example or to be able to monitor certain things um about the onboarding for example. To me that's in compliance because there is a process. We just haven't had to utilize the outgoing process yet. But uh should we say in compliance with the district's notes because I feel like we have been the things are in place. I guess I should say it's just that there are some notes that I think were
102important. Now, you did see that they have comments on the wand that talks about new boarding. Yes. On boarding. I haven't had experience with the administrator coming to the board for the exit. Oh, this the exit interviews. So, that comment is in there. Yeah. And even the district, they noted on there that Josie has a a policy in place or procedure in place. We just haven't had to utilize it yet. just hasn't been exercised. And one thing that I would like to get clarity from the board and we could do this in January. It says key positions. I'd like to determine what do you all determine the key like if we have an assistant principal leaving. Is that something that's a key, you know? So we can discuss that. know that one. Yeah, I would
103think district superintendent, assistant superintendents, the directors and the principles I think would be that that was when I read this what I thought and I don't think since we've hired Rob, we haven't had a key. Just want to Yeah. Yeah. We brought in Betty and then she came to we presented her to the board. That was my complaints at that point. But yeah, no, we haven't lost. But I think defining that isn't a bad thing. Yeah. So, are there any concerns with any of the comments the board or the district presented in adding those comments into Well, but aren't they a part of this anyway? They are not. That's what we see. The backup doesn't go with this. Is that correct? What What do you mean? The stuff that was presented to us to review,
104is it part of this document? Yeah, it's all it's all okay. So then we don't have to add that we adopt. So it actually that that's actually good to know because then you can utilize if you were ever questioned on this, you could say, "Hey, look here. This is what was this is what was provided for the mon report." So can I move to approve the E1? You can do whatever you wish. Council to the board. Do I have a second? I'll second. All in favor? I opposed. Motion carries. I am going to move on to EL12. Wonder how the girls did tonight. So, on this one, for some reason, we only had three um respond back. I was one that didn't. You'll I don't I think I responded to all of them, but I
105can't. It doesn't tell me. Oh, I'm so sorry. Can I go back to EL1? Question 13 was not on the survey results. And question 13, which we had from the district, was the fail to advise and include the board in a timely manner of an anticipated formal mass communication with public such as publishing newsletters, etc. But that somehow did not carry into the survey results that I was able to see. You mean the backup information? Um, or that's not on here at all. Question. Yeah. Look, if you if you guys Yeah, I'm open. Or which one? E1. I was getting ready to close and then my comment popped up that so which question 13 you said correct. Do you see a question 13? Let me go down. Nope. I have 12 of 12. So if
106if you have a 13 I have it well with what the district provided to us. So I mean it's still included in there overall with the policy. I just need to be added to the survey. Yeah, because if you look here, it shows you see this is question one of 12. So, I don't even have that. There's no wonder why they reference back on the answers or the backup is 13. We'll take care of that. We're probably going to see some of that. Oh, I'm sure. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So, let's go to EL12. And so, I think honestly on this one, the only comment I have is I know that we still have yet to determine the linkages. Um, but I feel like we're in compliance. Just we need to identify our langages and what
107we're going to be doing this year. But I don't know that that's on Rob. So, did one of us that's here tonight have the comment on this one? because there's only three com only three answers and one of them has incompliance with the following but there's nothing at the bottom. There's no comment. I I didn't know if it was one of I I was in compliance on all of them. I was too. I didn't. So that could have been Andrea or somebody could have pushed the wrong little button or something. Who knows? Where's the comment? I'm sorry. I'm still trying. There's no comment. That's the thing. It It has a It says that but then there's no comment. Gotcha. So, knowing that the district's uh information goes into the report, I think it's also helpful
108because they've done really well about adding what's there. Um, like I said, I think the only thing we need to I don't know if it needs to be commented in here or if we need to decide about that, but like I said, the linkages I think is something that we need to consider. But maybe that's a January item because I feel like that's us. We were having a hard time at our training identifying what those linkages could be. Exactly. I would say for this we're in compliance. Um I would make a motion to approve EL12 as in compliance. I second that. All in favor? I opposed. Okay. So, now we move down to policy review, right? And I did um if I can get to it. I actually saved it on my desktop here. I
109had a couple uh items I thought I would like to bring up um as a possible couple little changes. Um, one of the things that was very strange, well, and I know remember I got to keep remembering how Rick put this together. It's always the what you will not do. Yes. Yes. And but I'm curious about how you put something in there when you want to actually do something. So underneath of the the GP12 where it says board development will be sufficient is very generic. I put a C in and I put board will set up a calendar of possible development sessions during budget development. Are you on section one? Hold on. Yes. Right at the beginning under one I don't know that we have to say that going back to your comment about what
110you will not do that is in the executive limitations is the way I understood that. So what Rob will not do and that's specific to him that's that's true to us I think like in the governance of those types of things this type of policy I don't know that we have to word it in a way that says the board will not fail to we could but right it's just the the topic of that thing is the board development will be sufficient to enhance the skills method I mean it just tells you you will do it but it doesn't really and then it says develop includes potential board candidate sessions But but anyway, I put on there, one suggestion I have is board will set up a calendar of possible development sessions during budget development
111because one of the things we now we have a budget for this that we could set up some things and say, "Hey Brad, our budget's looking good. you know, maybe we do need to go to WASDA, for example, or or somewhere else, you know, as a board or or or maybe we host something ourselves and and bring other groups in. But we can talk about that during one of our times and set up a calendar. We we're already going to set up a calendar. Yes. Yeah. But uh so you have the board will establish a yearly calendar for I didn't get all you said. Oh, I put it's right here. board will set up calendar of possible development sessions during budget development. And I mean that's pretty generic, but I mean we can say anything
112you guys want, but I agree with that because that kind of goes back and echoes what we discussed at the last meeting was did we have a budget first of all? Do we do this? Like you know, do we plan for this so it's in alignment with our district goals? Um yes. And so I think that would help and maybe adding something to the verbiage. Do we already have it in alignment with the district goals? Um, excellence. And then the only other thing I had on here was on the board budget report, the superintendent will make available to the directors and accounting of board budget expenditures on a semianual basis. And then all I did was put or as requested and I crossed out the in October and May. Okay. Yeah. I was I was
113just getting a little I don't I don't know. I just I I was my spot on that was to change it to annually as part of the budget process. Yeah. And I just Yeah, we could change that to on an annual basis or as requested. So if somebody wanted to see it and you can always request it, but yeah, that could change to an annual basis because if we put semianual in there and we don't do it twice a year, then we're in violation of our You are true. So if we put do it annually or as requested then that gives us our flexibility. Are you making all these notes and I don't have to said so take off. Yeah. Well, that it's if you guys all agree with that. I mean, yeah, we haven't
114made a Yeah. Nobody's made a motion. As requested and cross out October and May would be on a annual basis or as requested and cross out in October and May. That that is the suggestion. Mhm. What was your your number C or your letter C again down? Uh board will set up a calendar of possible development sessions during budget development. So when Brad's going through his budget, we could look at, okay, Brad, because it it sounds like that, and this was new to me, that Brad says, you know, hey, I'm going to put X amount of dollars in the um board category or whatever you want. But, you know, if Brad tells us that, but we already have X number of dollars in there, you know, maybe we do need to do something because I
115still think we need to set put the standard amount we do in there because you never know if we may need want to do something. Yeah. So like WASDA at a minimum and then the Aruba trip is extra. Yeah. Yeah. That for the new board members. Aruba at Spokane's extra. Yeah. If we can fit Spokane, we'll do that, too. I think Brad wanted to take us to Hawaii with them is what he said, right, Brad? I don't think he wants anything to do with us in Hawaii. He said it was the best week he ever had and I really got offended by that. I thought last week before that was the best week we'd ever had. Whatever. Anybody else have any comments or questions on this policy? Um I don't have any comments or questions.
116And if everyone else is okay, I'd make a motion to approve. Oh, go ahead. Yes, Brad. If I just may. Sorry, I'm not a No, don't let us don't let us tie ourselves. So on 3C, hang on. We Oh, yeah. Um 3C, the board secretary may appropriate expendure up to $80. We don't allow anybody to do any gifts. So if somebody somebody in a building has an issue, uh something comes up in their family, their sunshine fund is one that sends up flowers. As a district, you're not because they get the public fund. M and I just saw this in here and I'm going pro bit C cross out C I would cross out C. Okay, you know cards and things. I think Jean said cards in the past, but we have no gifts. That
117makes sense. But I'm here at the pleasure of the words. No, you're here to keep us out of trouble and and just I hope he could help you with that one. I know I need a lot. My wife can't do it. There you nobody else can. And when I look at the two terms, I had to go back and think about this too. I just want to share discretionary and non-discretionary. Non-discretionary is giving you like the audit. Any legal fees that go through most legal fees end up going through HR. Very few through the board anyway, but if you had some, those are what I consider non-discretionary. Discretionary start to build the budget. We'll talk about it more later. I just want to put on the table discretionary say oh you want to go to
118the the WASA conference and you want to have some additional elements that those are discretionary that we put in when we build the budget those are the types of things that would be under that category discretionary as opposed to non-discretionary. Okay. Does that make sense? Yeah. Sorry for jumping in. Nope. No, you're fine. So So when it comes to number D 3D, do we need to cross that as well? because it talks about gifts or do we need to cross that word out? Items purchased with discretionary funds that are not Oh, sorry. That are not gifts are the property of the school district. Never mind. Do we need to take We just won't have gifts anymore. Say items purchased with discretionary funds are the property of the school district because we're not gifting anything anyways.
119[Music] So, so just take off funds are the property of the school district. Yeah. Items purchased with discretionary funds are property at the school district. Chuck, are you making all these notes, too? Yeah, I got it right here. I know how to strike through. Can you just print that out for us, too? Hey, it's going to happen sooner or later. AI or something's going to do that for us. So, so when we do this, we just do it out of our own pocket. We do that. We'll do gifts. We'll pull 20 bucks and we'll do we'll go buy stuff. That's not school board money, right? Okay. Any other questions, comments? I like that we made some changes to something. That's good. Yeah. Now that we have a motion. Okay. I'll make a motion to approve
120GP12 with the revisions noted. Second. I second. All in favor? Opposed? Motion carries. Excellent. We made our first change to a policy already. Pretty soon we're going to be doing governance policy trainings. Huh? All right. So now we are down to We're down to board assessment of the meeting. Mr. McKenna. Did you fill out the assessment? Did you tell me to ask me to? I handed it to Chuck and he said he was handing it to you. I didn't see any pictures of that. Oh, did you hand it to me? That piece of paper I gave you. I didn't even hear about that. I'm just making sure it's not in my stuff. One, two, three. Knotted. Nose co. No. No. Is it this? No. You had it in your hand. I did not have anything
121in my hand. that came up from fist fight evaluation sir. So anyway that's all right. Do we want to circle back to next time? Is there anything else? Uh well we're going to go down to uh I can do it real quick. Actually it's not Well, let's just go to from the board and we'll come back to that one. So uh from the board and then announcements if there are any. Do you have anything from the board? I thought I had something and now I kind of remember what it was. H I don't know anything. Chuck, I thought there was two, but I can't remember. I didn't write it down. I just want to say that I went to the boys and girls basketball games on Friday, Saturday. What day was it last Friday? Friday.
122Yes. Thank you. Saw you and Shelby down there. But um anyways, they're looking pretty good this year, so it should be an exciting season. We'll see how it goes. I do have a question though. That was the same night that the play kicked off, correct? Yeah. Friday. Yeah. Are our um PA systems connected between the auditorium and there was a snafu with that from what I understand and Mr. Uh um Charvette had to get involved and it ended up sending the I when I showed up that started it was sending the stuff from the play over the speaker into the gym. Yeah. Don't sit over there. Yeah. No. Yeah. They have to get over there and take care of that. So yes, uh there was something that happened there and I think they got Brad
123involved and they got it fixed. Great. Did we hear how the turnout was for the play? I was actually torn but but I was it was written and directed by our own students. I heard that Kitsky Matt Kitsky's name. We went to one last year and it was really good. So we took the kids. It was a Christmas Is this a Christmas one? Yes. Yeah. Der Derrick goes it was a little edgy but it was okay. Yeah, we went last year. We took the grandkids. I might have to do that again this year. I hope they Is it over already? Oh, that I missed it. And you'll be happy to know that uh yesterday I went to pick up Simon from his CILA basketball practice wearing my Grand View hoodie. I got booed out of
124the gym. All right. I walked in, what what are you doing? Like, hey, look. So, I got to represent. They were pretty ticked off at me. Um, do we have the is the job still open for maintenance director? Have we listed that or where are we at with that? Trying to get our list upright. Okay. I just didn't know where we were. Okay. Yeah. Are you thinking you might uh promote in inhouse and then hire somebody for one of those position or are you thinking it's going to be external? Um we'll open them up and and see what apply see who applies. Yes. Is your building done down at the old Graanby View Lumber? Yes. I finished that one up, completed it. So I thought I noticed that go look at it. um the back
125side where the leantoe is and then put some of the the sheathing across there. And so we're going to take a look that and maybe close a little bit on the top half where the trusses are and things open but they finished everything and they're trying to collect pigeons over there, huh? I that might be the case like to hang out but anywhere, don't they? So we'll go take Well, you know, if you ever want to have a tour, I'm sure that Dr. Rob would uh darling would take you around. We'll wait for the pigeons to show up first. Hey, we could have in the spring ski shoot shooting there with one of our one of our class PE classes. Yeah. Or board member outing P teams makes it fun. And a quick update on
126the Hback since you kind of got me started here at Hback. The only thing left is at McClure and it looks like they may go a little bit longer. I was waiting for another update from Morgan from McKinistry. I haven't seen another one come through, but it looks like be towards the end of December. We're already in December now. I can't say the end of November end of December to um finish installing the heat pumps. Um and then we'll have to make the building really really hot to to test it or just wait. Oh, for the air conditioning. For the air conditioner part of it. Yes. But how is it in the classrooms right now being are they being impacted then? No. No. Okay. He doesn't. All right. Scott, what do you got? Ready to
127pass? Oh, you gonna read pass down? I can What? You want to roll? No, you can do I don't care how we do it. I mean, I I thought tonight's board meeting was productive. Everything down the line for me was a five. We all respectful. We all got through things. We went uh I can go down line by line. I will.

You may not know right now to be honest with you, but if there's one that's specific that's it's a holiday weekend in January. Yes. Steer away from that. But holidays in January, Martin Luther King Day for me. Oh, is that I might need to start a little later one of the mornings because I coach Milo's basketball team and we play every Saturday morning, but we might There's some days we have an 8 a.m. game so we can start like 9:45, 9:30. I could probably do that. It just isn't not a 7 a.m. start like your own question. I And hey, I'm game

Don't Don't you guys agree that I think walking down uh kind of expectations and we can actually reference some of the ones we've had um that you know, hey, yeah, this was good information. Well, maybe a little more here and kind of give them an idea of what they need to present and what we're looking for. On the 18th, I have an 8 a.m. game. So, that would work. The 18th would work really well for me. And then the 25th, I have a 9:00 a.m. game, so I could be here by that's still a later start. Would it be more accommodating if we did a Friday evening? Like, you remember how we came in like at 4:00 or
1325 and I don't have a problem with that either. Yeah, I could do that. I don't have anything that way other than our internal basketball games. But this is dare I say this, this is more important than basketball. You wouldn't get Andrea here if there was probably a basketball game. So, I think her son's playing. I think that's I think that's why she isn't here. I think. Okay. Because I saw her with him with a picture of game day. What does our schedule look like on the way in January? 51. Oh, nice. Nice. Perfect. Uh I don't know what the basketball schedule looks like. So, the 20th that Monday is Martin Luther King Day. Yeah. So, the 18th would be that weekend if we wanted to stay off of that. Um, I'm going to Arizona
133at some point in January. I don't know when yet. I will just make my trip work around whatever we do. No, I can work on a a Friday uh evening for either the 10th or the 17th. Did you have a basketball schedule? Uh, Fridays are fine for me. I'm not with the boys. If it was a home game, it'd be tougher if it was a home game. We could be out at the bleachers and just be there you go. We'll cheer in between. So the boys are down by two right now. I don't know if Cameron scored his his two points yet. Two points yet. So we're looking what did you say? The 17th. 10th or the 17th? 17th there here against Aphida. What about the 10th? The 10th there. Oh, at Proer. Yeah, that's
134and then the 20 uh 23rd they're not here. They don't play all the Well, let me ask you this. 24th they don't play at all. Are you guys maybe open to another uh one of the Tuesdays? I mean, we have board meetings on two of the ones. Do we want to pick one of the other Tuesdays and go from like 5 to 8? We could do dinner like on a 7th. I'm good with anything. I mean, I'll make it work. Yeah. Okay. Let's take a look. January. I mean, on the evenings, maybe easier to get everybody here. So, we have the 14th and the 28th, we have our meetings, correct? Yep. So, we'd be looking at either the 7th or the 21st. Yep. Now, we do. So, the on the 14th after the 14th, we
135will get sent our information for the next one, right? So, if we kind of there'll be Yeah. So, if we wanted to meet on the 7th, the 7th, we have coffee with the soup till 5:30. So, we could come right after that. Well, what we can do is talk to see if she'll let us uh just come there. Just go there. Yeah. See if anybody shows up. Just use the place. She has a conference room. May I don't know if she wants to stay till 8:00. She may That's true. tell me to go jump in the light. She stays up late for the rest of those nights. Oh, okay. Yeah. Anyway, the 21st I have my sleep study. I got to be at Tri Cities at 7. So 7th and 21st don't work. The tw
136the 7th would work. The 21st would not work. We'd have to start after 5:30. Why don't we just shoot for the 7th? Okay. And we'll send we'll have Jean send something out and see what Andrea comes back with. And if we have to have it at the learning center, we could show up at while Rob's doing his thing and we could go over some stuff first and let's say we meet at five and then Rob could come right after he's done with Jose and them and then we meet for another whatever. Does that work? Okay. Do you want the directors to attend? Is this where you want I don't know. What do you think? Well, I think whatever questions you have, the three of us will know the answers because we got a lot. or
137you'll know you'll know how to inform your people what they need to do. Yep. I think so, too. Because I know that some of the data Jose's working with Stephanie to get and so so that'll be good for us to be able to do. And if we're doing the stuff with the soups, maybe I'll talk to Wendy and see if she'll feed us. Okay. Because that'll give her a little extra money for staying late. Give her something to do. Yeah. And then they could just bring it back with them. What do you guys think? I like that. And I'd also just extend the invite um to the district too. Like you guys know the data better than what we do in regards to what's available if you have recommendations that would be very helpful. Um
