001You were going to >> I believe. >> Yeah. I don't know how that works. >> It won't come this way. >> I tried that last time. >> Oh, but see, you're smarter than I am. >> I just >> Mr. Miller, you're in charge. I aliance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, liberty and justice for all. >> Okay. Approval of the minutes of the June 16th regular meeting and the June 30th special meeting. So moved. >> Second moved and seconded to approve the June 16th meeting and the June 30th meeting. Any discussion? Seeing none, all in favor say I. >> All opposed, additions or deletions to the agenda. None. [Music] >> Welcome audience. Hello Mr. Gates. Glad you're here. >>
002You were expecting business. I was expecting it got lost. I don't know. >> Might have got lost. >> The door might have been locked. >> Is it open? It's a joke. >> Uh consent agenda. Consent agenda 6A. >> I don't think so. >> Policy for >> We haven't heard. >> Okay. This has to do with student discipline and >> it has to do with student discipline. I'm going to tell you >> I'm going to trip over my own. >> Oh, I thought I know. I saw these chairs too. They were me. But so you have in your packet the WASDA um words aren't coming today model policy. So that is their what they send us that they would like us to go by, but that also has some blanks in it or some things that
003need to be changed to make it ours. So I'm going to give you copies of after I change the policy. I'm going to give you a little I'm gonna give you a little policy lesson for those of you that don't know how this works and hopefully between Tanya and I, we're going to get it all figured out. Do we want do we want him to have comment? >> Okay. >> Hello. >> Hi there. >> Uh, it's your turn. >> Sorry I'm late sincerely. Um, hi. I'm Matthew. I'm the sports reporter for the county. Um, and we just did a story on the split between the sports club and everything. And there was some inaccuracies in there. And I don't want to throw my editor under the bus, but I wrote the story according to the
004minutes and everything. And my boss said, "Oh, uh, lacrosse used to be co-op with Bashtukna and and Clois and maybe they're trying to, you know, form a co-op with that." And so he completely jumped to conclusions and put it in the story and edited my story to put that in. Not accurate at all. Um and so I made sure I spoke with you know superintendent Doug and said I will make the correction online. I will put the correction in the followup story which is what's the plan moving forward. Are there going to be enough kids for your sport? Uh I know volleyball is is still going on. We're not sure about football or cross country or anything. And uh the plan moving forward and I'll be sure to put that in the story link. There
005was no uh trying to co-op with another school or anything like that. So again, don't want to throw them under the bus, but yeah, that that was a mistake and I take uh accuracy in journalism very seriously. So I wanted to come to you guys in person and say I'm sorry that was completely wrong. I appreciate it. >> Thank you very much. >> You said we this coming week is another one article. >> So, it was planned for this week, but um I'd like to get more information. That was another thing. I wanted to have more time to flesh the story out, but my boss was like, "No, this is breaking news. we need to get the story out as soon as possible and I just like I want more information. Um so we are
006not doing the story this week but uh for next week uh I plan on doing the story so it won't be today or tomorrow but I will send you the story before >> because yeah that's what you had said. So >> Matthew was really helpful and went through the whole article and he took notes and underlined and highlighted. >> Yes, >> I color code my calendar. >> Thank you for listening to me again. I apologize. >> Okay, back to the policies. >> Okay, have a good night. >> You too. Thank you so much. Okay. >> Discipline and procedure student. >> Did I give you a new set that say lacrosse at the top? Yes. So because we are members of WASDA, correct? >> Yes. >> We have access to this policy and legal news five
007times a year. I think I think it's every other month. >> Yes, Tanya and I do as well. So this Curtis um and we finally got so that we can log in and see it. And that this is work that I did in Davenport when I was gym secretary. >> Um so if you look at page three um this is the one that just came out this week. So that's why I kind of went oh this is what we can look at a little bit. So on page three at the bottom they have a list of >> I know that's >> I call that >> the third piece of printed paper >> page two they have where it says updates to model policy and then every time that one of these comes out they have
008a list of critical important discretionary and those like I know because I can't wear one. >> Ah, thank you. >> So, these are the the ones that they they're looking at to make changes or perhaps there's one that's going to be a new policy. But, uh, these are the three and they have them in three categories, critical, important, and discretionary. And the next pages are they go through each one and talk about what the changes are in each one. >> Yeah, it is. I like this breakdown layout. >> And then if you go to um this just tells us the changes in the policies. Sorry. >> Correct. what what they believe needs to be changed in those policies and why they've labeled them as critical in these categories. Okay. And then this is like this
009is our goal. >> Yeah. So if you go I'm looking at the page number now. >> Good idea. >> You look at page six. >> Okay. >> I did teach math a little bit. Page six. Um you'll notice at the top it's got the breakdown of what critical is important discretionary. So critical required by state or federal law or tied to funding important not legally required but supported by case law discretionary no legal mandate a lot of discretionary one schools small schools sometimes won't even have those sometimes they're just kind of I don't want to say awkward policies but they're like pinpoint things that maybe don't apply to us. Um so critical ones yeah really important to look at and then there's like this one that you have in front of you tonight the student
010discipline when um we were at the AWS conference or the WASA conference whichever one of us was there um we went to the rural ed center call that meeting >> and uh Stevens and Clay was there somebody from Stevens and Clay Okay. And they said, "Every district needs to have this updated for this year. It's very important." So, um, and that was one of the big takeaways I had was we need to update our student policy. As I was, um, fixing it for us today, putting in our pieces of that puzzle, I noticed that we need to do some updating period on it. Um so that'll be put in front of the leadership committee to see because there's even something like uh when it has the breakdown in the procedure of um like step one,
011step two, step three, step four and what the offenses were. There was one that said step five, but there was no meaning of step five in our cross stuff. So I have to figure out what that is. And you know if there's an inaccuracy, we can change it at any time. We just have to bring it. And this is the first reading for you. >> Okay. So this is what we got is the new one. It'll say it'll say lacrosse. The one I did say lacrosse. >> The one that was the model policy says that's why those >> Yes. because I knew I was going to get I just thought this this this issue of policy news was really good about talking about how they go about making the model policies and then that breakdown
012of why it's >> you all >> I do know some emails >> well we just We need to make sure that we're not just handing over the WASA ones either. We need to make sure that they're we've done all the changes that are for lacrosse. >> And we'll get there. And like Karm said, I know you can hire WADA to go through your whole policy thing and and do them all at once and that can happen, but I think we can get caught up doing it this little bit at a time if Rhonda went through last year. We have almost actually I think we have all of that on thumb drive and she has a nice notebook with all the up to date as far as updated as we know. So we've kind of got
013a handle on what we have now. It's just keeping up to date and like you know there was these ones in here that are critical and I don't have them ready for tonight. I'll have them ready in August or will have ready in August or will have them ready in August. That's where I get the list when I bring this out four times a year. >> And there were four parts to that that you got for the model, but part of it was a matrix and we don't need that. We're not that complicated. Our discipline list was pretty um black and white. So, >> so then how do when you say we're making them lacrossees? So, what difference then do you decide from the state one to ours is mostly it'll have a place in
014there that'll say like check and make sure your policy for this is numbered this. >> It'll have like a little I wish I would have left one that was highlighted. So like just little things like authorizes insert district stat. >> Oh, okay. Okay. So it kind and it on the computer they're highlighted they want. >> So then you can just go in and update that to meet your >> right >> who does that disciplinary action from your school. Okay. And then there are sometimes I mean there are some things that we're we see things a little differently than the state. We we can set policy however we want. >> Okay. Yeah. There's the legality side of things, but we don't have to be exactly like we have local control. >> Okay. That's what I wasn't
015sure when we were changing it. If when you make the change who's ever does that, I would like to have a black and red line. I'd like to see where the change is being. >> Okay? >> And I'd like to see what it was for and what ours is going to be proposed for our student. >> And I will say none of those were changes. They were just >> the insert thing here. Insert thing. >> Okay, that's fine. But I can do that >> because >> obviously because of my affiliation >> their attorneys spend quite a bit of time on these things. So I just want to say >> yeah. So the one you added to us >> the one that's across >> and most of it Terry was insert staff member. >> I was
016going to say you should show them what you showed me because that helps. >> That makes sense. >> Okay. Yeah. >> So most of them >> where it says insert district staff by title. Oh, okay. >> Where I just put I need a visual. No, no, no, no. It wasn't a policy change. It's just a And sometimes I know there was one place where it said check and make sure your harassment policy is number whatever and that you have it you have it. They're usually little bracketed and italicized things that they just want you to check. >> That makes sense. So substantially detail. >> Thank you. >> Is that everything for you? >> That's it. >> Well, looks like Tanya is next. Budget and fouryear budget projection adoption. >> Yep. I have the full budget
017and the four-year budget projection right here if you guys want to look at it. As you can tell, it's pretty thick. If you want to email to you, I can email it to you also. This will go on the website after it's subroved. So, um, so I gave you these two spreadsheets. You've seen these before, but so I just used them so you could see what our um revenues and our expense categories are and what that looks like. Um revenues are high. So it was an interesting year because we were told to go ahead. They wanted us to put the federal funded funding in there. So when I did the budget, the federal funding went in there. Even within the last week, there were emails from Ryd Doll saying, "Well, the fight that we're not
018getting that federal funding, you know, um hearing that we're probably not getting the IDEA funding, but they still wanted us to put it in the budget, so that's what I did. Um, I don't think bottom line it's not gonna it'll affect our ending fund balance, but the revenue is probably about $76,000 higher. If we don't get federal funding, it's going to be about $76,000 higher. Our expenses though are almost exact where I think they're going to be with the exception that I went off of our enrollment of where we're going to be next year based on what we have this year. So if we end up with more kids then it'll be a little bit more. I don't think we're going to get less kids. So anyway, so it needs fun balance if you um
019>> Tanya for 63. >> I Yes. And then um sorry. So right now, you know, if we get all that federal funding, I have us sitting at 510,000 or $511,000 for an Indian funding balance. If we do not get that federal funding, we're going to end up where I thought we were and that's going to be about $430,000 between 430 and 440 in the next year. And then we'll increase to get us back closer to that 55,600 the following year. So you're talking about the whole >> 76,650 >> just where you at? >> Just federal funding. >> Yes. That whole >> you're thinking and I just I don't know. Nobody knows. I mean, I'm not I'm not going to say we're not getting that money at this point, but >> we don't have yet either
020because we're >> Well, no, not really. I mean, there's just you have this little war going on between our state leadership and the federal leadership. Trump Ferguson stuff where if you're not going to follow these policies, we're not if you're not going to follow what I say, you're not getting that funding. So that's where we're at. >> Yeah. Federal backed off a little bit today on some federal after school program like that. So just kind of concern. >> Yeah. And in the big scheme of things, $76,000 of our budget, that's not gonna kill us. >> It's not huge. It just means our fund balance is going to be I don't we want to say $76,000 left less because I don't think, you know, all I've heard so far is the idea funding is probably a
021no-go and that's about $25,000 what we got last year for that. So it we could get anywhere in there. It just depends on what they cut and where they don't cut. So we're looking at an independent balance then between 430 and that 511. And then um so the expenditures that I have if you look at the resolution right here you can see the appropriations that we have for general fund capital. of 3,35,000120 general fund capital funds project 600,000 dollars and I had to go high because I have not received the first mandum bill yet. I'm really hoping that they will get that to us in August so that some of that um expenditure can go in this fiscal year. So, we don't get a bill from them by the end of the month, I'm going
022to call and ask if they will send us something because I already made grant claim. Um, and that's the other thing is OSPI calls directly and asked us to make those capital grant claims for this and then also that $30,000 planning grant. So, they didn't want it carried into next year. And so, I had emailed them back and told them, I don't have bills. I've asked for bills. I don't have them. Um, and they assured gave me the assurance to go ahead and claim it and just under the assumption we were going to get a bill this year. So, I don't think they're going to um because they give us to go ahead and have that email. I'm not worried about about it. I just would really like it taken care of this year. >>
023Transportation vehicle. Are you on >> Yeah, it's um before the orange sheets. The two pages right before the orange sheet. >> No worries. Got it. um transportation vehicle fund 310,000 and that is because we are buying those two buses next year. We left some capacity in there because they had passed that um law that we might that we're supposed to be able to use this funding to purchase vehicles other than buses. And so I kind of kept that really high in hopes that we can maybe do that next year. I still haven't heard for sure if that is for next year or the 26 27 school year, but there's some capacity in there for that. Um, and then ASB 49,000 and it's a little bit lower than I've always done just because our class we
024had 12 kids last year in the senior class and this year we have five. We get the new kid. Does the capital that $600,000 is that the last of the capital levy or is there another year? >> Um so there yeah we no our capital levy we have one more year. Yes. >> So is that $600,000 that's just >> um >> that's what we can spend. That's our this is our expenditures what I budgeted to spend. Because that'll be something, you know, when that capital does run out before they want to do another project. And then I guess while we're at this, we sold those two school buses and we have $32,000 for the two school buses, which is one of the range I think we're going to get. So that will go back into
025our transportation. >> So do you want a pass up the budget and then we talked about for your projections or what do you want? >> No, it's um all together. >> It's all together. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> So, for your projections um this is just a complete >> guessing pretty much. It changed from what I had last year >> and it'll probably change a little bit next year. is not too far off, but um do you guys just want to go ahead and look at it the different projections or you want me to read off where ICPS >> 2627 is still that 511 that we just talked about 2728 forecast I have is at 27 578 and then 2829 at 638,99 line. So again, hoping is higher than that, but I feel more comfortable
026budgeting lower. That's kind of what we're told to do. Um, just for the new board members, when you look at your expense page, this is an important item, the certified classified benefits line. You don't want that to go over 80% if you can help it. So if I'm not around someday, which will happen, you want to make sure that you question if that's and it's been a little above 80 before. It's been 81 or 82, but so you can live with that, but don't let it be 85 or something. You want to just be watching that. I'm tickled to see 79. I haven't seen a seven for quite some time. So tickled about that. Tickled about that. Anyway, that's just just news for the new people. >> Thank you. >> Learned that from Gary a
027long long time ago. So anyway, >> thank you. >> You're welcome. Um I think before your budget there's also the capital and you want me to read off any capital budget. Okay. of um after this year. Well, 600,000 for expenditures this year. Go back. Sorry. So, I have it at 16,000 and ending at 16,000. And that's where we're going to and the reason it's low for that 26 27 is because we're going to have to run another budget. So in 20 we're gonna have to start thinking about running another capital projects budget or levy sorry. So if not then it's going to end next year at that 16,000. So >> the following year following >> yeah for the in 26 we need to run at 26. talk about capital. >> Oh yeah. Okay. Okay. Yep.
028>> You just want to remember that. I'm sure that will. >> Yeah. Once we get going into this school year, we'll we'll have to revisit that, talk about it about when, where, how we want to run it, what >> and for what. >> That's right. >> Start getting the communications out. >> We should 26 we should get the approval on the on the the remodelization grant, too. because we're still on the list now. We're more towards the top. You know, we didn't make it to like this year, right? >> But we're still on the list and we just moved up when they just >> How many points do we have to have? >> Very much. Okay. Does anybody have any questions for Tanya about the budget or the four-year budget projection? I do not. >>
029And I would entertain a motion to approve those two items. >> I move we approve the budget and four-year budget projections. Am I approving that? >> Sorry. >> You're fine. >> Okay. I move we approve the budget and fouryear budget projections adoption 2025 to 2026 as presented. >> Second. Been moved and seconded to approve the budget and the four-year budget projections for 2025 2026. Any discussion? >> Seeing none, all in favor say I. >> All opposed. >> Your budget is passed. [Music] >> Yes, it is a whole lot of work. >> Nervous talking about it. >> I like I like the numbers. Thank you for doing it. >> Right. >> I commend you. >> We're going to be over over a month's expenses. I hope so. Yeah. Hope so. Uh move on to consent agenda
0306C, national board stipen for Katie's area for 2425. >> Yep. Um so I ran running payroll for July. Um her national board stipend always comes in July and August. I have not received money but I've received confirmation that she will be we will be receiving the funds to pay her national board. So this isn't in out money. They even pay her benefits. So her stipen for national boards for the school year is at $6,324. I entertain a motion. >> I move we approve Katie Xaring National Board Stipen for 2024 to 2025 for $6,324. >> Second. So we moved in and second to approve Katie Xaring's National Board Stipen for 2425 in the amount of $6,324. All in favor say I. All opposed pass. Uh 6D uh Tanya's County Treasury Authority. >> Yeah. So here and
031um I made a mistake on the agenda for this because Doug is also on this. So we do need to add Doug >> to this. He's actually on the the resolution that you're going to sign. Um you guys do this every single year. this resolution. I think my second year in here I didn't know we had to do it but they also had new people at um the county so and they didn't know we skipped a year but last year and this year um for the following year we have to have county treasur authority and this is um authorizing the individuals Tanya Miller Doug Curtis below to sign instruments including vouchers payable investments warrant cancellations and fund transfers on behalf of the lacrosse board. >> So, you're going to do >> Yeah. Yeah. How about
032I move that we approve county treasures authority for Tony Miller and Doug Curtis as second. Been moved and second to approve Tanya Melon and Doug Curtis as the county treasur authority for the lacrosse board for the lacrosse school district. All in favor say I. >> I. >> All opposed passes. Oh, you already have >> um the constructive people were on site today. So, I emailed Marshall and get an update. Harmon, >> but this is Marshall Carer going to come and pour the do the steps and anyway, you can it's all right there. on concrete foundations poured back filled. They've been put in a lot all the dirt that they took out and put it all back in plus layers of gravel and then they compacted it down and it had to be tested and so
033it's passed all the tests so far but they they still have more dirt in there. Um then a final branch report late this week, early next week. Trustes are ordered and hopefully framing will start next week. We have kind of a like an end date like what they are or no? >> Well, the builder's insurance we got we got through October and we're hoping it's done by the time school. >> Well, that's okay. Just >> and then on the other side is a is a a north grade that All West has been doing their side instructions regularly for the city and they inspected all the all the right for the concrete forms and the rebar and and all the all the contact inspected. It's growing pretty fast now once they got past the surveying stage
034where they did their greens and things and they had to reserve reservey people in but now it's like it should go a lot faster now within hopefully within five or six days they'll reframe it once they start framing it >> that's really the only thing I just I was thinking about it coming to school today I wonder out you know for the term Sure. >> Safety. >> Apparently nothing for safety. >> Well, we haven't had any more meetings. >> We'll start back up again. >> I just want to come. I was surprised about the training happen. >> Yeah. I just didn't realize how big I was under the assumption it was more of a school training for school. It was, you know, administration stuff. I didn't realize it was full on. >> It was it
035was training for the >> policemen, firefighters, all that. >> I had to take Cody's grandma to the ER that day and they were like, "We're running the drills from downtown to here and all this stuff." So, we had to like wait to be seen. >> I mean, she was >> I didn't go, but it was fun. I mean, it was non-stop traffic, >> but yeah, it was like it was all the way from I mean, they were doing the full No, they checked them into the hospital. I talked to Jamie Emler after that and um she was at the hospital. She said they checked him in and went through the whole drill and everything. And when it was Bill, Justin, Tammy, and I that went for our EMTs and we thought we were just there
036to watch. we were hands on the entire time was a big deal and then they kind of had Coleman take over and that was interesting too to kind of watch how they do things. So >> CJ was one of my >> they did two different shootings. So they did one in the morning, they had one crew and then they did another one in the afternoon and they were Yeah, they were different scenarios and they had different people like the second one they w first and it was it was really good. It was really good practice for them. The the thing that was not realistic is that once they made the call within two minutes there were people in the building. So but you know Well, and they they were talking about it. They'd have at
037lunch they had meetings and they were talking about >> they really thought it would be a good idea to pick different schools and do it at different locations. I thought that would be great if >> they told us to wait like half the half an hour because we were the lacrosse. So, we just kind of stacked the parking lot for a while before we headed up headed. >> That was cool. >> That's awesome. >> Tammy and Tanya and Justin were busting their >> I was standing there watching. >> We didn't have all of our equipment because we didn't know we were supposed to be doing anything. So, we were using other people's equipment. >> It was good. It was definitely eye opening. >> I worked at the ER at Harborview night shift for several years
038and I messed up like that. >> Yeah. >> You should >> Oh gosh. I know. >> I heard Lane did his >> Lane did not make it to the end. >> He didn't make it. >> Nope. >> Oh, poor Lane. >> Be great. Oh, >> okay. >> Book was pretty thick. He had to go through. >> He had to go out of town though for like where was he driving? >> I think it got too much for him to travel. >> Was coming. >> Was it Kax? Oh, I thought it was further. >> I thought so. I thought it was >> I thought that was so otherwise. >> Okay, we're moving on to technology. Summer stuff's been going well other than printers. That's typical. Um, we were holding off on the wiring project, but the
039funding kind of goes. I wanted to wait. We didn't know on the edgeback stuff that was going to go in, but I think we can just pull the cables and then pull them back when we're ready to go. So, it saves us a considerable amount through the -ate to get it done. So, it kind of futureproofs us a little bit. Um, just now when we did some of the rewiring projects initially, I thought we were moving more and more to wireless. That's kind of what they sold it on. So, we didn't do as many physical drops to rooms. And now more and more everything's turning into digital clocks and digital speakers and digital everything that needs a hardwired power through the switch and a closet. So, it's kind of one of those where we kind
040of needed that. So that's going to run us about five trying to remember I think 4,900 is our share of it. But it saves us a considerable to do that with but it also lets us do potential data drops for cameras all these other things. So it saves us a lot by doing that program to have them do it and they're going to do the cabling a lot better. It's not a strong suit of mine to wire a bunch of cables and then realize I didn't get them connected right and then pull them back. So, it's a good it's a good investment for the future. >> Yeah. I was surprised how much when you said that because I think it was 24 25,000 and our portions only like four or five. >> Yeah. >> So,
041you say our portion who takes care of the rest? It's a federal rate program. So, you're able to put in and they pay for it and then just the way things are going too. I don't know. >> You were saying that, but I didn't put it on. >> Yeah. So, that's we do a lot of we we've taken a very good advantage of rate to upgrade a lot of our equipment and stay up to date just so that we're, you know, if worst case ever does happen and they're looking what schools are built to handle the future. We've tried to make sure we're in that category and that funding has been great for us and we've taken full advantage. >> And the good news when you know that some of these federal programs, the funding's
042already sitting in there for next year. So, it's not like they could just take that away. That money's already been given out for those purposes. And I think probably one of those if it's a federal >> Yeah. >> Uh athletics. >> So, we're moving right along. Uh, volleyball's been going two days a week. Uh, they'll finish up next week and then we go dead period until the start of the season in August. Uh, Zoe's been doing some research on uniforms, so we're looking at those and I think we're good with the the cost there to get them purchased. We didn't have the volleyball uniforms from the past. So, we needed to get new stuff because we didn't have any left over. They had all seemed to have walked off over the years. Um, I think
043when things ended, kids took their jerseys with them and so we just didn't have anything. So, we'll be in position on that. And then it's we'll be junior high volleyball to start the year and high school volleyball. Football, I mean, we've talked a couple places. It's hard to get a read that we didn't have any kids initially sign up. I don't know if they'd be willing to travel somewhere or if they want to do something else. My parents have kind of talked to me like they're just trying to plan more than anything. And then just trying to get schedules because we're kind of in having to play independent just because we're late to the game. So that's been the hard part. So I'd like to get us We've got about nine games now. We can
044get 18. I'd like to get us at least 14 in there. And I think schools are willing to once others know we're we may go down and play a JV game because you know Palmray varsity is playing Weightsburg and Weightsburg doesn't have a JV. So Palmray is like would you guys then come down and play that JV game and the kids are good with that and Zoe's good with that. So that's on the high school side. Junior high, we've got our whole schedule taken care of because that's Junior high is easier because you can just kind of move around a lot easier without it impacting teams from other districts. >> How many students each how many athletes? >> Nine. Nine right now for high school volleyball. >> Junior high volleyball, we were at a similar
045number. We'll be able to use fifth graders. So that's the only hard part was we weren't sure what our plan was. So I couldn't survey everybody before. So, if we pick up those, we it looked like we were going to be about eight or nine for junior high and then we may pick up a couple um girls. Our big problem is we just don't have boys. And so that's we have that group that'll be juniors and that's our main boy and then it's, you know, like Ty Pearson is a senior and then a couple others scattered here and there. But even in the junior high, we just we have one grade that has no boys in it. And so it's that's the hard part is trying to get the boys side figured out with those
046numbers. with fifth grade, you know, we might end up with some small teams, but I think the kids will be okay with that and we can work schedules out where, you know, we probably talk to KFax and say, "Hey, why don't you know, on this night, why don't we play Colton instead of playing Kolfax and Palmer can go play KFax maybe is kind of a way to go for it's better for everybody that way, too. Uh, to work that on the junior high side. the high school side's just harder because people have their schedules done. So, >> mascot colors important to harm. What's the deal? >> Well, I I went blue and white and that's what I told everybody the assumption was blue and white like when I started here. The tiger tiger cat thing,
047I know it's come up. I've had people talk to me both ways. Um, I'm open to whatever. I mean, I'm relatively new here, so it's, you know, when I was growing up, we played you. You were always Tiger Tats, but you know, you were Tigers before. So, I kind of told her, you know, we stick with the Tiger Head logo and went Tiger Cats, but we tried to avoid branding and we wanted to go more lacrosse schools because it keeps it open. >> When I was in high school, we changed AC Warriors Rams to or to the Warriors. We were Rams and Rebels and the kids got to vote. The high school kids voted and that's is that something could do options to >> I am concerned about being tiger cats because of the association
048with wash tuck. I really don't want that association. I want it to be royal blue, not just blue. I want it to be darker blue. Um, I want it to be back. I want it to be back the way it was. That's just me. I'm just one of five. >> You're tigers. >> Tigers. >> Something else we need to keep in mind that this might be a one year >> one year deal. >> Yeah. >> So, we need we need a mascot. We obviously need our colors on everything, but we shouldn't get so invested in next year because haven't changing. So that being said, I >> So could we just make them neutral and not I mean do we need to put Tigers or Tiger pants on it? Like I can we just do lacrosse
049>> blue white with a number >> uniforms that >> does not have anything written on it. It does just have it. >> It has something. I can look at the picture. I'm running the stream, but I can look and show you when we're done of what those kind of >> look like in color. I think it's fine for, you know, for the Tigers, the entire cast next year because everybody needs to know it might not be a permanent thing, you know, so to really get the kids involved, you know, and then it changes next year. We just want to make sure everybody knows it. >> Well, yeah, then I would I care. I just Let's stick with the cross. I mean, right. >> Not not if Well, I I'll talk about it later. >> Okay.
050But I want also to be a little bit involved in the uniform because I have an in for the uniform. I mean, we can have that volleyball uniform for around 50 or 60 bucks a set in my world. So, I I want uh some conversation other than just Zoe looking for that as well. >> Okay. >> So, that's enough said. >> We're going to have to get pretty fast. uh two week turnaround for us. Anyway, just my side of the lecture here. >> Yep. >> What's everybody's opinion on the mask thing? >> Hey, come on. Let's see here. >> Yeah. >> Um I just wanted to give you kind of a heads up that there will be a second article in the paper. When I went down and met with them, one of the things
051he called the school, talked to Dany, and talked to Jeff. I wasn't there. So he gave him a chance to talk to me and they also had tried to get a hold of people saying that couldn't get a hold of anybody. And so when I talked to him on Friday about about correcting the mistakes, he said that he um you know was okay with it. He was really good to work with. And then but he told me this morning that he and the editor had decided that they were going to that St. John's going to be a big part of the next article. It's it's going to include changing the mistakes that they made on the first one, but they're but they're going to work really hard to get contact to kind of get their
052side of it. I wouldn't give any reason. So there's no reason Jeff didn't either. I'm just giving it as a when the article comes out, it's it's not only going to have retractions, it's going to have something >> and that's kind of their job. >> Yeah. >> Their job, you know, they're not just interview. >> Yeah. I'd like to put that article and they quoted Jeff, but um we're our concern is just about moving forward, not looking back. We're moving forward. I just think that pretty classy >> way to look at it. >> It's very important for me because of what I've went through in my lifetime to see the article before it's printed. It's very important. And so Doug has to see it or Tanya has to see it or Mr. Gates has to
053see it >> before it goes to >> Yeah. because that's what you said you were going to have >> because that's vitally important that we see that. In fact, that that is what needs to be done for sure. And because if we would have had that the last time, this item would have been dead by now. We wouldn't be worried about St. John wouldn't be worried about anybody else. He would have died and that's more important to me if it dies. >> Yes, I agree. >> We move on. >> So because you just they can keep this stuff going and I don't want to be that way. >> I was contacted the other day by the superintendent. >> So was setting up a meeting. So at some point she's principal to probably She's contacted me.
054>> Say where? Sorry. >> Say no. >> Say Miss Strong. Miss >> I'd be very careful about having that meeting. >> What? She wants to have a meeting with Sorry. >> Very careful. >> Oh, I'm not principal. You >> She just sent me I don't know what Doug's letter says. She sent me a letter >> wants to meet about things and it was an interesting email >> and I just I I talked to people I know and I just >> Yes, >> I'm too new anyway. >> I'm sorry. >> I'm not >> um my opinion on the blue and white. I like that you were asking so I just thought >> circle back. >> Blue and white. I mean, I like going back to the It seemed like the Yeah, >> the ones that they
055were looking at were royal blue. Royal blue might have been very classic. >> Okay, nice. >> Tiger or tiger cat thing that I mean I also not from here so I don't know like there was a mascot but I didn't remember there actually being anything written on it. >> Could you just put the tiger's head on it? >> That's what I was >> and everybody can call it what they want. >> It's on there too. >> That's all I was getting at like we don't have to put it on there. Let's just do it neutral. >> Yeah. Cuz then if we're using the following, you know, you keep using we don't want any down and that we can't. >> That's what I was. Yeah. >> And and there's a greater than 5050 probably that uniforms
056we get this year might that could happen. >> Yes. >> And the volleyball uniforms are very inexpensive compared to other ones. All right. >> Okay. We're going to move on. Uh legislative. I don't have anything that changes from week to week. >> Um >> yeah, I was just I'll wait for my financial. I was just going to say with the financial thing, they changed it. We've always had it gotten a certain amount um in our aortionment, a certain percentage every single month. For some reason, the legislature decided that they wanted to give us less money in June and then give us more in in July and August. So hopefully that's not one of those sneaky things that we're just going to try to cut some of your funding out. I don't think they can legally
057do that. So, our fund balance, our budget status looks like we're below 300,000 right now in that, but that is because we get the majority of our aortionment in July and August. So, we get about 23% in those two months of our yearly and we're moving on. Sorry. Oh, no. I got ahead of you. >> The principal principal reports next. >> I was like trying to figure out that fit into the legislation. >> Yeah, she's getting a little carried away. We'll let it go. We'll let it go for now. >> I left her for a few weeks. >> I know that hurt you. >> They went to lunch without me today. I'm just came in. He went right to work on the tech stuff. >> Um I'm going to be honest, I don't really have
058a report. We went to the AWSP WASA conference. It was it was pretty good. You know how those things are. Some of the sessions are really good and then some you go into and realize it's commercial. And uh that's the way it was. I was really excited about this one that was going to be using AI to help you with your strategic plan and help you with your school improvement plan. And I get there and they're trying to sell me an AI thing that they developed. And yeah, so but it was it was good. Um, next week Patricia is going to go with me. She's doing next level leaders through AWSP and so is Colton's principal. So, we're all traveling together to Yakim for the first session of that on Monday, Tuesday of next week.
059Um, >> that's it. >> Huh? >> Kids get hurt. >> That's usually part of the report. >> No, no, that wasn't safety. And nobody Nobody >> There was no safety. I got the Millers that are here. >> I got I got her at Farmfest. You just see my bruises from the dump tank. >> Uhoh. >> You got dumped. >> She was the first. >> Yeah. Yes. Money bags over there. Kept giving his grandkids money to dump. They got Oh yeah, got like this is the day. >> Oh yeah. I was Mr. Open his wallet all day. I was just letting him. >> I wasn't doing >> my husband who can't throw a ball tried to. That was pretty >> Yeah, I saw him throw it a lot. >> He missed over the top of the
060whole thing. >> He was doing it on purpose so that you wouldn't get >> He was being really nice. >> I must have hit the hit the thing I was sitting on on the way in because I was like black and blue on the way up. Oh, it was horrible. >> It looked like somebody had Oh my god. >> To not volunt. >> Did you learn anything from that experience? >> Maybe not to do it again. >> Do it. >> Hey, you were doing that. >> It was fun. And you know when the superintendent opened the wallet, >> you got to do it again. >> Yeah. What was that? >> I don't remember. [Music] >> It was There were three things. That was the pool, >> Park. >> There was the pool >> was >>
061which is parks and wreck. Pool >> was fire. No, >> it might have been. >> Was it fire? >> Yeah, it was fire. Yeah. >> Rescue. >> Fire. >> I can't remember what they put it in whatever box they wanted to. >> I just couldn't remember. Okay. Oh, >> oh yeah, that's right. Yeah, I was going. >> Okay, we're moving on to finance now. >> It's actually your turn. >> $286,21. Um, still waiting on our athletic bill for this year. I'm I'm really hoping that we'll get this and get it in this fiscal year. Um, I know that ESC is working on it because I got an email from them asking for our agreement with SJ and um, a couple questions. So, I I think we'll get it in in August. Again, that's probably another
062one of those bills that if I don't get it by the end of July, I will ask now that I know who's working on it. So, um, other than that, everything else is I mean, we're pretty high in our capital fund balance right now just because we haven't had a lot of expenses and we have the 50 about what's 53,000 left in one grant and 30 in the other that has not I have not been build for yet. So, that'll come back out probably next month when they build it. Um, and then we got our final SAO audit complete, and that is in your packets, too. I don't know if you guys have time to read that over. The big thing that really got me is they're still not liking my timing for executive session
063and that I don't have other RCWs in it for why we're going into executive session. So, we'll have to look at that a little bit. And that's pretty much the only comments I think really on that. And this is going to go on the website or we already put it on. I don't know. >> I don't think we put it on, but that's what we had to do last time. >> Okay. >> Yes. >> So, that will go on our budget. This whole packet will go on and a four year plan will all go on this week website. >> They haven't made you cry again on these audits, have they? >> No, they actually been really she's been very workable. Well, they email me questions. I email them back. We just kind of go back
064and forth for three months and that's that's that. They don't really focus on the small schools so far a whole lot. I think they're so busy with the big schools. So, >> does anybody have any questions about the financial report before I ask for a approval of the payroll? >> Uh, Tanya, on here, general fund is 34,207. On here, it's 35,13280. >> Where are you? >> Uh, so I just make sure this number is correct on here. >> This one's wrong. >> What's that one? >> Just a sign for me. This wasn't in the packet. This was with the audited folder >> for July. Go over the July's bills. >> Yeah, it is 35,182. >> Oh, yes. Because um one of those is from June. >> Oh, >> so it's not in your packet because
065we had already paid it, but we're approving this 35,000 which is the full amount. So >> this is right. This is okay. >> Yeah, because I had to do two separate APs for I had to do one for Mr. Weiss earlier on. So it's not on that. >> Does that make sense? But but this is the correct amount because I already paid him. >> Yes. >> That's all I got. I move we approve June payroll and July bills in the amount of 249,624 and.7. Second. It's >> been moved and seconded to approve the June payroll July bills in the amount of $249,624.70. Any discussion? Seeing none, all in favor say I. I. >> All opposed. >> Pay the bills. Did you get anything set up for tomorrow? >> We'll have a spot for fourth fifth
066grader. So, I just figured >> Okay. >> After we sign all of our documents, we're going to move into executive session authorized under RCW4230-110 for the purpose of evaluating applications for public employment and review performance of a public employee. No final action. These matters will be taken during the executive session. >> We'll start with 30 minutes. >> Okay. Do we need to excuse that? >> Yes, we do. >> I entertain a motion for that. Excuse excuse Seth Weeks from the board meeting. >> Second that. I move a second to approve the uh Seth weeks excused from our board meeting was July 21st 2025. >> All in favor say I. I opposed the meeting is adjourned
