001I'm enjoying the extra uh I assume it's somebody read the minutes from the February 18th meeting can we put them together just don't move you can do that we typically don't but I approve the February 18th 2025 meeting minutes as presented there a second we moveed to second to approve the minutes from the February 18th meeting all in favor say I I all opposed I will ask for the minutes of the March 3rd meeting I'll approve the minutes for the March 3rd 2025 board retreat meeting as been moved and second to approve the board retreat meeting on March 3D all in favor say I I all opposed motion passes deletions are to I have two two agenda FFA overnight trips oh for today action and then the second one is just to cross out board
002retreat under indications to the board I think it is actually welcome to the audience uh any positive comments a m group over there okay we'll move to the consent agenda FFA overnight trips okay uh one for right now there is going to be another one I just um so first paper I handed out was for state agme which is in yaka at perch next it's on the contest is next Thursday the 27th but we're going to go over on the 26th we're staying at the Holiday in at Union Gap I was recommended that one by Mr Miller over at St John so I asked him if he would be the male Chapo um for that uh and then they have the contest on the 27th so we'll be back here in 27 the night of
003the 27th after they're done after they're done complete and then there's going to be another overnight trip in April that one is the April 14th I believe is the date um I have it on that schedule which is the second paper that I handed out that's like a tentative schedule because stuff always changes when it comes to everything um but the second overnight trip not entirely sure yet because I'm going to need a bus driver for it I can take two teams it's for environmental and natural resources I can take 10 kids but I know that that's going to cost a little more because I would also need those lines yes um and then next Monday I'm going to do a parent meeting to go over State Convention stuff with parents and students so that
004we're all kind of on the same page when it comes to expectations coming up there any questions tell me a little bit about the state trap shooting on the 18th and 19th J is tell me how that's going um we've had a couple like we've gone to two so far um right now we have one kid that broke his foot or broke his toe and then the other one has had Sports on Saturday so we haven't gone since so that's why that one's kind of tentative um I looked at the track schedule and they do have a track meet on the 19th so kind of waiting to hear from kids if you know it's one or the other kind of situation do you have kids going to the junior show spok yes approximately how many
005you I want to say four or five four or five and I assume you'll be black judging there as well yep okay that's what the state livestock judging contest is I think it's that Friday they used to have it on Wednesday Jud and kids going to the State Convention do you have a feeling for on that how many kids possibly and all that good stuff that's one that I'm going to figure out next week hopefully a little bit more um I'm getting mixed mixed reviews from kids on how many days they want to go or if they want to go and if they want to compete because there are contests that I would like them to participate in just to get them involved um they're like half and half on wanting to do it um
006but I'm gonna say probably about 20 kids going to State again that's going to deter or it's going to depend on uh practices I know that there's the Twilight track meet is that Friday of State Convention so I'm sure that'll take some kids so it's figuring that I'm going to encourage kids to go though I think it's a good experience so you just want one trip approved tonight or just the one trip approv for so are there any questions about the state acne itinerary and trip I move we approve the overnight trip on march6 been moved in second to approve the agme uh State agme itinerary uh overnight March 26th all in favor say I I opposed pass thank you yes thank you very much uh moving on the communications to the board uh capital
007I have a couple updates on the connector um City still hasn't approved the project up too much um I talk to Angela today they did they have they fed up both the building inspection and also the all West is is the company that does their buing inspection F the other company is the west side and everything's down to they sent the city the the contracts they sent the contract to their attorney because all West wants to adjust has something to do with insurance coverage on on cities in and they they just haven't got it done yet call today and they're just waiting for the attorney to get back de that has something to do with adjusting liability insurance with the building to a different premium than the other people first group from the west side
008and because they expens so they're to [Music] see I talk last week to go ready to just wait that toov I'm not get La so um I was hoping to make be going by now um do I need to call the mayor and tell him what I'll that's not right I want that thing done before graduation is what I like to see but I we might just have to have have a special meeting just like we do so I'll I'll call ask okay and the second thing is about about a week or so ago I told to you an email so on that the guy's coming out tomorrow his name is coming out to do some measur and I talked to him about the about the split split split he it's not in the plans
009right many split um when I talked to Greg Greg said he thought that we decided that it was too expensive to do and so so I asked specific about what's in the plans right now and he said right now what the plans are is they're going to put three fan coils in the configuration of their one know on the one hallway that goes this way come down the other hallway goes this way one each one of those and then another F coil on the steps that so there's three be three different units of fan coils and those are two pipe system which means that only as of right now the proposal that M made the other day was to uh add cooling to those stands which would make it a four pip two for heating
010and for cooling I don't know how much this going to cost and Greg said that that's what he's recomend rather than supposed to be cheaper because they're already using our hot water and already connected to our CH so basically would be the the cafeteria is not down the gym the hallway up there so depending on what talking do doors keep doors open ends build have some it's not to be the same as having um I told there's no guarantee that we age the price one $4,000 to to add cooling to the system using the hot and cold water he said that would be pretty he thought this was going to be a cheaper route I told himb I think but Greg's thinking was it would it would be a bigger system would last longer be
011less expensive if they tapped into our hot water and right so I find I didn't realize we eating I thought we were so when you said that I was like we have to eat it for I asked about that he said he did bring it up he said his remance of it is that we'll see how much it's not so that's that's what I know the I'm kind of lik him to check the many a little bit yeah yeah because for like our bunk house and stuff it's not not expensive at all we're talking maybe $500 or something for wasn't much all for for heating and cooling with electric backup that's you know when the it gets too cold for the heat portion I mean I I think it's worth asking what they're proposing now
012connect us to connect us to uh safety I don't know who's doing it you want me to go sir okay um the only thing from further on from for retreat uh had a zoom with Dan and Jason who are the safety guys at ESD they're going to come out next Thursday they're going to walk through all the drills with me and show me what I need what my end looks like and we're going to schedule them for the rest of the year and they're going to come out for every one of them so or I mean at this point they're going to come out you know but uh they are very good to work with and they know that we need to get a comprehensive safety plan of to date and they were very honest
013about that's the summer jum and so and and that's the way I felt about it all so um but they're just they're really cre to work with technology uh just nothing really just looking at the budget what we can save on subscriptions because that seems to be the a big thing and seeing what we can cut back on next year to save nickels and dimes here and there so Athletics high school stuff started we're in full swing then start this week weather permitting so nine kids doing high school track three doing golf one doing baseball and then Junior High practice will start next week looks like five for junior high track and two for baseball okay they had to cancel twice one week when I just handed out this is I sent this agenda up
014today I haven't heard about it from anybody yet but this is this is the proposed agenda on this one side um I sent everybody a packet today in the packet it had two job descriptions one from St John and the other one is from Jeff on his ad and he kind of broke it down by month and so I sent it out to everybody today so that they can look at that because important that they know what people are going then the second part just about the new paradigm the options number four the impact that this would have on their programs and number five the impact it would have fin and then number six we're hoping to Le that meeting with a recomendation on the on the back side is just some notes kind of
015an outline we're going to use when you just about the different challenges both certified and classified I just got this from that done so um they were supposed to be weeks and so everybody be Jeff will be there and our goal is to see what of our a pretty crucial thing this is going to be finan that's I don't have any leg update do you the one thing that was kind of positive this last week was that it appears there's quite a bit of support for keeping they're for sure not going to expand and schools that didn't get to do this year next year the bills that getting down there seem to be in support of the schools that are doing it now 8,000 kids to do it again other than that I'm just not
016anything it's long session are you hearing anything just that both the House and Senate really just tore apart took a whole stuff out for special education back down this B went there in weing this year that's crazy this is like education is just not a priority this year principal report I heard from Jeff earlier today that my reports aren't long enough so from this je or this this jate yeah me too nice deal he G me a hard time I like it comaraderie I even made you one oh boy because I can count to eight don't hold me all right I'm going to go through it fast not real fast um so safety team we met as a team February 18th Student Success team we started that um just to have a venue for to
017bring up kids of concern it went really well I had members present that I had to put plus others because there the whole room was full it I just went back to these because these are the ones I had to send up all to um leadership ship we're meeting next week um I've had interviews with the Juniors and the sophomores I'm going to meet with the Freshman on Thursday and then we should be able to be ready to roll a master schedule out at least version 1.0 the kids have been great you feed them Pizza you can get anything out of them and thank you the Little Caesar's blood Riser you know and I've got a kid that's that's making pizza for me she goes in it's fantastic um the only thing that that like
018next steps the seniors want to have a way to to tell where they feel that we can improve they want to just have a forum and talk to teacher teachers are going to talk back to you you realize that oh so let's figure out a way that we can get your opinions out that's not in like a controversial setting I guess because they think those things anyway so I'm working on that uh school safety I just told you about Dan and Jason um the only other thing new here is I'm exploring some other resources for mental health um we have Lisa Thompson in the community um and Zoe starting her practicum for School counseling the only as South earlier today the only faux in that is that we don't have a school counselor for her
019to be under so she's not sure if the school let her be placed here um cron planning with data we're still working on data I did find out that Janet and I have had a long talk about dibles that was one of the testings that that's one of the testing things we use at elementary school and it it's kind of a box checker for Title La so we talked about what could be used that we could use um so we're looking into that a little bit um you know we're just trying to learn how to use data is one of the things we need to do um next thing aligning curriculum Mark and I work together on a on a math lesson for Algebra 2 it went really well uh Mark like the layout of
020how that's laid out it is a free curriculum that ESD uh recommended death recommended um I know a lot of people that are using it it can it could be curriculum 612 the lessons are very laid out it is standards based it is a group of teachers from a number of states came together and made this curriculum I actually know one of the guys that was a part of it um so it went really well we're still planning on having a college and the high school course for seniors and juniors in the math and we just have a couple of steps left to get is that okay um of course our our end product we want to have TK through 12 for full line um math is kind of is somewhat different than some other
021subjects because of how it spires like what you learn in kindergarten you need to do know to do something in 11th grade kind of thing so you can't like skip over things very much so I mean there's other subjects that do that to but I think math is probably you need all those Stepping Stones so it's really important that we do that um improving instruction we had our PD with Rachel and deie last week it went better than I thought it was going to I think Jeff thought it went really well uh they talked about how we can use AI to differentiate a lesson or a unit how to talk to AI to get it because you have to like prompt it correctly to get what you want out of it um uh it was
022I thought it was a really good a really good day and that checks our our those letters box I can't think what all the letters are uh managing resources I'm just working closely with t um to see like Jeff said where can we make some nickel and dime PS um and then and then go further than that um trying to get trying to get so more than one person knows everything so if somebody you know left tomorrow we're not leaving the person that's left here asking the four million questions so ensuring that there's at least two people that know the things that are happening in whatever Department that might be um I think that's partially selfish because I've had asked a lot of questions because I just didn't get um engaging families you know that's
023my strength things are going great we had the food bank again last week we had um State County local Road Cruise here today it was fantastic um we're going to do the senior meal on the 31st uh sy's basketball ended with cby s's been doing volleyball sorry I didn't get numbers from her but I know the kids were telling me today it's been great um we're not doing it this week because we have moua here I didn't add that to that sorry uh steam nights plan which is science night is planned for March 26 academic bin is set for March 31st um we've got a few other things we've got our lit stre night already planned I've got some things at the end that'll fill in that um uh figuring out a communication system I
024know I was doing newsletters at the first of the year it's not for me to do one every week maybe every month um just trying to figure out what that looks like because I know I have a lot of positive feedback from that so I would like to get that in when I can it's probably a it's a me problem not at anybody else problema um closing the Gap just expanding you know trying to give kids what P eat that's where that is what do we have what do we need what do we need to work on next year we'll have um two students moving up into the high school that have needs so we're going to have to figure out what that looks like um at the bottom I put other March highlights so
025we're going to have ASB elections are plannned for April and I'm going to ask and we've already talked they wanted to have a student representative anyway I want to have a student that com and reports on what's going on in this to you guys um steam night March 26 literacy night April 16th and we've got touches truck in May or the first part of June um working on first draft of a budget with T's help I know but uh where are things that where are we spending money where do we need to spend money where we that without sacrificing Market um Jeff and I've been working on talking about the CBA and what the one thing that I would like to have more script is what evaluation looks like most CPAs are a lot more
026stricted than ours is as far as evaluation um should have round two of observations done this next week and I'll be able to do some final evaluations by hope is to have half of those done by Spring grak um I have a master schedule but I need to go to my committee and see what they think and and see where the problems are I mean it always takes more than one person um hopefully have an idea to be by next me um you know I I told you I was going to apply to this program I'm also planning to join I I haven't yet but Stacy Stacey Trish I went over and worked with Trish one day last week because she walked me through some evaluation stuff and when we got talking she was talking
027about she's been doing she wants to be in the next level leaders c-port and it's a c-port you get in and you're in it for three years I believe new cport is starting this year and it's it would be a meeting once a month and it's yes there is a financial cost but it would I've been doing the awsp stuff this year and so it would be in replacement of that and it's actually less money than that um it's it's a very good network of people to answer my questions and working with Trish together it would be fantastic so you're not supposed to be able to do it until you've been in place three years but because I'm partnering with Trish so not a problem with that I mean I haven't done a yes I'm
028G to do that yet but I would really like to and I already work with somebody that is part of that because she gives me time and then um there's some other districts that do it so I was just trying to on and it'll help huge with valuation which is definitely my weak one of my weak any questions thank you and my door's always open so come in anytime just give me a heads up because there are days that I am not thank you very much Finance guys have your package I don't have a lot of extra things to share that we didn't talk about a couple weeks um just kind of periodically checking to you know working on some of the budget stuff for next year but again until the legislative session is over
029we know that we've got changes that going to have to you know that are coming instead when Tes was talking about you know building her schedule and the finances kind of a ping pong back and forth thing because she has to know where we are financially and I have to know what she's thinking to start planning financially so um my plan is is you know by the end of this month hopefully we'll know more they'll be a littleit a step closer have a lot education pieces in there and then what they do is they put it um OS they give it to OSBI they put these spreadsheets so you'll we'll get to see right now I can see the governor's budget is they never go on the my cour years here they've never gone off
030the governor's budget it's either been adopting the house budget or the Senate budget and they don't have anything up yet so anything I can look at right now is just what the governor reced wasn't great either so or either one of them now you got the new governor that's so I me that's pretty much all I have for abouts I'll you payroll and March bills they now 268 27645 a second second we moved and seconded that we approved the February payroll March bills in the amount of $268,700 for the purpose of evaluating and application or for the public employment and revie performance of the Public Employee no final action on these matters will be taken during the executive session is there a motion to adj move move in second to adjourn thank you very much
