We didn't add it in because we have more to add it. It'll probably be which is the athletic fees. >> Oh yeah, >> we're working on that because we don't we're just not sure what the year looks like and then we'll come out with a fee schedule probably September. So preschool tuition was changed. >> Um so if they attend two days a week for a month, it's the 100. If they go all three days a week for a month, it's the 150.

Uh gee, teaching out of field areas. >> I don't have it in front of me because I just the same. >> Yeah, it's pretty much same as last year. Um it's just basically people that are teaching classes that don't have the endorsement to teach those. >> Mindy in Spanish, Mr. Gates might have some technology kids. Um Mrs. Hart is going to teach yearbook class. Mr. Char still has a middle level science endorsement and Mrs. Titus only goes down to fifth grade so we move we approve consent agenda 6 uh G teaching out of field areas as presented

012second to approve the teaching out of field areas. All those in favor say I. >> I. >> All those opposed. Consent passes age calendar change for 256. >> Okay, this is this is all my mistake. So, we had two built-in snow days to start with. One um just the way the calendar fell out, we couldn't do them both May 1st and 2nd like we normally do. So, we I did have one scheduled on April 30th and then one on May 1st. Well, when I added um the total days for April, I included that snow day which gave us one less day for learning and we have to test 180 and it put us at 179. So the option I mean the only thing I think we could do and we discussed it with Mr. Curtis

013and Teresa and I discussed it was take the that snow day on the 30th and make it an actual 30 day. So I make a motion to approve 6H the calendar change or 2025 26 with the added snow day to be a day. It's been moved and seconded to approve the calendar change to add a snow day to a learning day school day 5.6 calendar. All those in favor say I. >> All those opposed. Motion passes. >> All right. Uh I policy 3241 3241 P 3241F 3241F2. >> This is what we do at last year or last time >> that we talked about last month or was it the month before? >> This is the second reading. I just can't remember if we did it last month or the month before but must have been

014last month. Do you know where you are on policies, Mr. Curtis? Yeah, this is the second reading. Is that what you're asking? >> Yes. >> Yeah, it's the second reading for this one. >> So, these would either get approved or do a third reading. >> Yeah. Yeah. Either then you can approve it tonight or you can wait. You can wait for the third meeting if you want. >> Do you want that approved or you want to wait? I mean, I'm just saying there's some that you want. Let's do it next. >> All right. Thank you. >> Uh yeah, I'll make a motion to table the policies of six I >> been moved and seconded to table the policies for consent 6 I. All those in favor say I. I >> allos motion passes. >> Okay.

015Policy 2161P first reading. >> Okay. 2161P. U this is one that was approved in 2023 and it's been up it was updated again last month and it was on that list of um essential or critical to approve. So this is the first reading. I I don't know. What's that? >> You guys don't have this. He emailed it to you. >> Yeah, I did. I did. Yeah, I do remember. >> Okay. >> Yeah, this is the one that I emailed because it was so long. >> But I I don't know. I I sent it to Janet and should be I don't know all the differences, but I do know that it was like I said, we approved it two years ago and um it's been it was updated this last month and it was on the

016essential critical list. So I just put it down for first reading. >> Was it marked the changes? >> Any big changes that we need to know? >> I didn't I didn't look, but I'm guessing it has to do with the age that the it's not to 21 anymore. It's to 22. But I haven't looked at that policy yet to see if that's what it is. But that's the only thing that's really changed in sped in the last month. You know, >> if if a student if a student turns 21 in February, we serve them until the end of the school year now. We don't exit them at 21. >> Got it. >> It used to be that as soon as they turned 21, we exited and we don't anymore. We finished the school year out.

017>> I will just so we can Nothing was highlighted. So, >> whatever. Okay. >> Yeah, it says first. >> Okay. >> So, policy 2410P first >> 2410P has to do with graduation requirements and that was updated last year and um they updated it again in July. It was it was also on that list so I just took it down as a first reading. I I don't know um what the what changes they made from last year, but um but the reason I put it on the list is because it was on the uh on the on the on the critical or encourage or essential list to approve, >> but we don't know what the changes are. So maybe we could find that out and then approve it next meeting. >> Let's do that. Okay, we're

018going. I thought it was and then policy 3143 uh that was that was approved in 2020 and it was also on the essential critical list to um I put on there. I don't know. I can't tell you on all the all three of these what were the changes. So, we'll just have to look at them more closely. I just wanted to get them out there for a first reading. >> Sounds good. >> Okay. Uh M preschool bus route. >> We we talked um you know the preschool bus route was one of the was one of the way places that we cut back on some funding. I think it was around 6,800 something I we guessed. Um, we made some changes to the preschool this year because not doing transitional kindergarten. And I think last year

019we had a um I think we had a I can't remember if we had a 4-day option or not, but we went we're down to three days. We raised the price on it a little bit. Um, it was just something that was brought to my attention, I think by I think by harm a few months ago that that before the school year started that we should revisit it a little bit just to see if it's something that we feel like we still really want, you know, maybe um it is a pretty good service to our to our families. And um but when harm talked to me, he just made a suggestion that we should maybe revisit it before we actually start the school year again. So if we want to continue um you know with

020our plan to to not do the preschool preschool route, like I said, I think it does. I have to check with Tanya, but I think it saved us just a little under $7,000. Um I was kind of concerned that it may be a deal breakaker for some some families in terms of being able to you know to be part of our preschool program. So I just wanted to put it on the consent agenda for discussions. >> We know how many kids are enrolled in preschool are going to be >> we haven't done a preschool roundup here from what I understand for a while. We'll do one next spring. >> You know, Tammy had registrations today. She's continuing tomorrow. I can ask her. And I suggested to Teresa, I mean it only s but on the

021half days, why not keep them here and put them on the normal bus routes on those PP days, >> Wednesdays or like if it's a day before Thanksgiving and that would I mean it would save us a ton, but it does save us a couple days a month >> if we did get it or we do. Um, we are down one bus driver and then they are going to have to bus now a little bit more with athletics. I'm just trying I don't know that affect them at all. I don't know. I'm just trying to >> Katie would be the when I talked to Randy, Randy said it most likely be Katie. >> Okay. >> That would be doing the bus that would be doing the preschool route. She also, you know, has the route

022before and after school. But she's a four hour a day. So I mean that gives her, you know, more hours, which because now she's not like the St. John for everything. And then Well, I'm just saying like now we're going to have to get our athletics two games. So maybe leave it one or two. But I guess we kind of I would think it wouldn't change that much. last year as far as the routes go other than less bus drivers, but Katie's doing it. So, it's the same. >> So, it's the same. >> It's the same thing. >> I think we figured at one time we only have two at the time kids in preschool. If Bo comes, that would be three, but Lindsay's already said she'll come pick him up down the road. I

023don't know what that means, but if he goes to preschool this year, so I mean, it's not the rout's not going to be huge. what we were talking I was thinking like when you have other littles at home and they're taking a nap and then you got to and then you got to go get your >> preschooler and >> it is very nice. I'm not going to lie. It's very nice and very convenient versus you know you know 50 minute drive to and from >> well and I mean on my end it's the piece of I know they're building too. I'm not waiting for a parent and I'm not waiting for >> Yes. And I remember that kind of happening sometimes. >> That piece of that puzzle too. >> The first year we didn't bust

024the town kids home. So I remember seeing the town kids sitting there and waiting for parents versus just get on the bus. They're gone. >> But it is a cost. >> Yes. >> Can we afford that? >> Yes, it is. you know, um, surprisingly, I worked on grants, let's say, Monday, Friday, January came in, Saturday. So, we sat down and worked on grants. We're not losing our IDA grants this year. So, that and that's a federal grant that we're still going to get. Um, it's all up in the year for next year now, but this year that's something that I couldn't really say. Yep, we're definitely getting that because I didn't know. And that's a $20,000 federal grant. Okay. So, >> so yes, we can afford it. >> Do we think maybe for this year

025we could see how that goes and see if it's it's a year-to-year basis right now? >> I would say so. If we can afford it and logistically do what we should be doing. >> Yeah, I do too >> because it's only going to increase enrollment I think for the and then that's money in right the more kids you have coming for that and I do think those numbers are going to grow each year. I mean, if we think already the following year, we already have I already can think of three more that'll be be there. >> In our prior discussion about this, we just didn't want it to be a deal breaker for somebody. Um, and and and we wanted to take a look at it again financially. You know, we made this decision, you

026know, like in March and April. just wanted to in August we just wanted to revisit it to see if financially it was going to have the same impact that we thought you know back about you know four or five months ago. I like the service and I and we get a lot of compliments, I know, because of this with this service, but um you know, we decided to we had to make some cuts and so that was one place that we that was um out there to be cut. >> I I'm kind of for it and again maybe we can revisit it next year, I guess. >> I'm for it. >> So I think it's easier think it's easier for teacher I'll make a motion to approve the preschool bus route for the year of

0272526. >> It's been moved and seconded to approve the preschool bus route for the 2526 school year. All those in favor say I. >> I. >> All those opposed. Motion passes >> in lax kfax participation with agreement. >> Okay. We had at our last special board meeting the board approved us making or contacting KFax and pursuing the um the participation agreement with football and softball. So we reached out to him. I talked to the superintendent. He told me that he would talk to his athletic director, his principal, which is who is new, and would also talk to the board chair. And then um if it seemed like it was a, you know, going forward that he would send me a written agreement so that everybody would understand who had what responsibilities. And I was hoping

028to get that last Thursday or Friday. And it didn't happen. Friday, Jerry contacted me and said it would be this week. And then about noon today, I re I did receive it. And so I looked through it and I sent it to Teresa. I sent it to Jeff. I think I sent it to all the board members, too, to look at to see if it had anything in there that was different than what we agreed on. Jerry asked me if I would go ahead and sign it. And then if I signed it, he was going to take it to his board uh which is a week from tonight on the 25th for official approval. And so I contacted Tanya since I'm up here. I don't have I guess I could take a picture of it,

029but it didn't have any way of printing it off unless I talk to the hotel. So, so, um, Connie was going to make copies for you to look through and, uh, she was going to use my, um, my signature stamp to sign it if everything looked good and email it back to the Kofax superintendent. >> Is this Do we know if this is kind of the same thing they have with Overdale or do they not have anything like this with them? Uh my understanding from the conversations I've had and Teresa Jeff have been there also this is the same agreement they had with Oakdale. >> Are we looking at what three four kids doing this this year? >> It is it is tentative of four kids for football is what I understand. Yeah. Um, it's

030hard. I mean, Teresa talked to him. When I talked to him, I mean, nobody signed up initially, so it was kind of like we didn't know what to do and we didn't know what to be. So, Teresa talked to them where they might and if somebody else plays then they may play and so >> Yes. >> Yeah. I mean, it's not it's not like they're knocking down our door saying we want it, if that makes sense. >> And so that's kind of why we've been struggling with it on our side of it is nobody's sitting there saying, "What are we doing?" And so that's >> we sign this and we have nobody go. They're okay with that. You know what I mean? I think the >> cost. >> I mean, they're not going to go

031anywhere else, >> right? >> But if we don't have anybody playing, we don't have anybody playing. >> Yeah. >> And you'd more or less be committing to it for the five at least five years. >> Five years. >> Okay. >> Which we thought we really don't have the numbers for five years anyway. >> Correct. >> So that was a safe bet. >> It would just the only thing like moving forward will just be how we advertise it, how we recruit and talk with them. I mean, that's the thing. I mean, it's if they're not approving it, Doug, I didn't realize that. So, I mean, what's the deal come Wednesday? >> Well, I asked Harry that I I asked him. I said, "If I sign this and you sign it, can our kids go to the

032parent I mean, our families go to the parent meeting tomorrow night and play on Wednesday?" And he didn't really answer me. He just said that he he was going to have his AD talk to our AD. I and that was the last that was the last um communication we had. >> So it starts this Wednesday. Start >> football would start Wednesday. >> There a couple more days than >> Okay. >> volleyball. >> Okay. >> They have to do so many days nonpads. >> Yep. >> So that's those first three days. They always start three days earlier than cross country and volleyball. what we're really sticking to if it's just that we don't have the numbers to make the team and for those specific sports everything else we are trying to do here. So it would

033just be those three specific sports and it's a fiveyear five plus year commitment. >> Football, baseball, softball, >> right? And they want the junior high stuff because it leads in. >> That's what I'm >> And but we like So baseball and softball, they don't have a junior high league. They don't play in the league with us. Okay. >> And they don't have junior high baseball at all or softball. They do all like little league or little league equivalent or Babe Ruth. >> Yeah. >> And so that would be the only thing. Um so really football is the only one that is impacted and we just don't have the kids and we won't have the kids probably >> but it would still give them an opportunity. Well, we don't know if they're even going to say

034yes yet. So, yeah, >> I would assume if this is signed in on his desk tomorrow, then the AD probably will reach out to you would be my guess. Or or you would hope so that we could tell our kids practice >> but I just don't know like if we don't have an agreement like I don't know how that works. >> Yeah. Yeah. I I asked him about that because because he said he was going to take if we signed it he's going to take it to his board um for approval on Monday. Um but I was under the impression that he was going to sign it you know then or before. But I'll try to reach out to him again tomorrow. Like I said, I didn't I asked him that question today and he

035didn't really answer it. >> This is our only option to give them a chance at something. Then we should probably go forward with providing that opportunity to the couple kids at one point. >> Yes, we've already acquired It's only optional >> because they don't have the kids don't have a concrete answer for doing this or not. Correct. >> Correct. >> So I wouldn't know whether to say yes or no either student. >> Right. >> You didn't even know that. >> Well, it was hard to even get a for sure. Is this really what you want to do kind of thing, >> right? Anyway, and now it's tough for like we're in the crunch time where it's tough for a coach to now go talk to kids and convince them and you know potentially four kids

036he's never met and you know and then me briefing the kids here's what it is and setting up transportation and that's kind of where I'm at now is like >> so >> I'd say the quicker we can get it on their desk and at least get feedback the I agree. >> Motion to approve. >> Um I move we approve the lacrosse kax participation agreement that is presented. Second. >> It's been moved and seconded to approve the lacrosse kax part participation agreement. All those in favor say I. I. >> All those opposed. Motion passes. >> Okay. I'll have a I'll have Tanya, you know, stamp my signature on it. We'll send it to Jerry. Okay. Now, I'll ask him that question specifically. It may be that we have to wait until the board approves it on

037Monday. I don't know. >> Okay. >> I'll send that tonight. Doug. >> Okay. That'd be awesome. Thank you. communications to the board capital. >> Um the only thing on capital I really have is just the the confusion or I guess of the the delay with the connector. It's been nothing's happened for the last two weeks and we had there was some kind of an issue with the concrete and then and then this last week um the uh foreman of the crew was sick all week and so they didn't come out at all and this morning when I checked um that nobody was coming out so I contacted him again and he promised me that if the foreman couldn't make it tomorrow whose name is Kevin Anderson that he would that he either he would come

038out or he would have somebody else come out and he would have a crew here. And I also asked him what would be the new completion date and he was going to have to recalculate that because we're we've um the last two weeks hardly anything's happened as far as the framing. I think everything's on site. Last Friday they delivered the truss and most of the other wood was already here but it just it's still in the stack. That's where we're at with that one. >> Safety. >> I just I'm going to the safety conference tomorrow. I promise Teresa I'd go elsewhere, but just to just to get some information. >> Yeah, it's in Spokan. Okay, that technology, >> we'll have the data runs hopefully done by the end of the week. And uh Jan found

039a grant that may help us buy some cameras. So, >> we can do that, we'll get it all kind of done pretty quick, but that's up in the air. >> And then It's not St. John across sports, but sports. >> Yeah. So, we talked about the football thing. We'll start with high school stuff on Wednesday or sorry, on Monday of next week, and the junior high stuff will start Wednesday of next week. So, people are getting their forms done, physicals done. So, slowly trickling in. So, >> and then legislative policy and levy update. >> I don't have anything. >> Well, we were talk about the capital levy. >> Oh, yeah. Go ahead. We have to we have to run a capital levy. Go ahead. >> No, you go ahead. Um I think our I think

040our funding for the capital levy runs out is that this fall >> at the end of um 2026. So we will be running it in 26 to start picking up funds again 27. >> Okay. And so then we would run our um we would run a new capital le if we choose to do so in February of 26. And so so this fall by October we have to we have to make a decision if we are going to run a levy and if we are if we are going to run a levy what we're going to use the money for because in October we have to start the paperwork in order to get it on the uh on the ballot for for February 26. So, in this in the September board meeting, we're going to

041have to gonna have to have some things prepared and do some research and come up with come up with a plan so that we could start it in October if that's what we want to do. >> Student and school programs principal report. Who's that? Um we started today we had um leadership team met with Stephanie from ESD and um she is very good at narrowing our focus so that we're focused and uh behavior is going to get a really updated behavior matrix um and doing it in positive light and doing a full systems so that Like teachers are work or leadership team works on like the outline. Then we bring it to everybody. Everybody fills in the blanks and then we teach it to the kids on the first day of school and posit from

042a positive light. It's not a don't run. It's a why don't you walk here because that's what we do here, you know. Um really good uh three hours this morning uh with uh four out of the five. I excuse the one that didn't come. Um but we made him the secretary because he wasn't there. Uh and we and everybody in the group whether I twisted their arm or not has agreed to one 90 minute session with her a month to keep that going. And we will leave the P every month based on what we need. Um, and behavior is probably going to be uh like the first the first two days of our PD. Next week we're going to talk about what should be in class. Um, what teachers should do what's in class and
