001Good evening everyone. Call the meeting to order. I'd like to welcome everyone to the July 23rd uh regular board meeting. And uh I said welcome everybody here. And we'll begin with our pledge of allegiance. I aliance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for it stands one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all. >> Okay, you like the motion to adopt our agenda? >> I'll make a motion to adopt the agenda. I'll second. >> It's been a motion and seconded. Are there any questions or discussion? Hearing none. All those in favor? >> I I >> I >> Okay. Next, we'll need a motion to adopt our consent agenda. >> Make motion to adopt the consent agenda. I'll second. >> We have a motion and second. Is
002there any questions or discussion? Hearing none. All those in favor? >> I I >> Okay. Uh presentation the 2025 2026 technology plan of work. >> Hello. I would like to say I like it earlier today very very fast. >> Can you hear him? Okay. >> Yeah. >> Turn that off. >> No, you cannot. >> I can be a little >> There you go. There you go. That's good. >> I'm making eye contact. >> Um, thanks guys. It's always I do enjoy coming and looking at it if for no other reason to. It forces me to reflect on the year that we had and what we got going and put it in writing. Um I always like to start these meetings uh highlighting my team. Um we would not get what we do done without their
003and so this will be Jared, Janine, and Xavier. Um they've been with us for a couple years now. um which is which is phenomenal. Um I would say we're not fully staffed this year. We're not going to be fully staffed again next year, which is what it is. We're all we're all in the situation, but they've all stepped up and made sure that we're keeping the main systems up and running for the rest of >> um the unfulfilled spot. What is that role? >> So we had So it is a a technician. So we when we switched to onetoone devices, we knew we would need some extra support because we we effectively tripled the number of devices that we had. And so historically, we've always had one or two kind of middle of the road
004technician positions. And so when we were looking at a third, well, we decided to shift the philosophy to a tiered system, right? So where we have a entry position, kind of a middle position, and a high level position. cost was neutral because you're effectively you know shifting that middle kind of zone into that. So it worked out to be the same cost and it felt it gave some ro so our you know help desk person could have an opportunity should our technician move on or move up and kind of build that in um and that which did happen. So Jared was hired as our technician um and then when our systems administrator departed uh he ended up applying for that and he was hired in that board. Our challenge of course is that we didn't
005then because of budget constraints we didn't immediately backfill that to the commission position. So we've kind of been holding pattern around that. We've done some stop gaps but but that's effectively why we have kind of a three cross trains. >> Yeah, everybody does. I mean everybody does a little bit kind of my expectations with when I had all three of them is is everybody should have be supporting the person who is in the next lower and that person so like the health desk I have an expectation that at least 10% of his week should be spent specifically on self reading the manual like it's it's embed but read the manuals you know go online and research the stuff that we're working that takes a lot of time especially in it and then also that A
006again around 10% of their work time should be spent with the next person. So was able to spend you know four hours a week with Jared in the field with the work that Jared was doing as a technician. And then when our our system was there the same role that happened for Jared when he was in the technician role that he would kind of work with that to try to build that you know build experience build cross trainining just supporting each other. Um, I'll be honest too, it's nice to have somebody like we are siloed in a lot of what we do. I can't even remember what it was, but I was working on a project last week and like I was moving forward with it and I said it out loud to Jared because
007he is my partner in a lot of stuff and he's like, "Oh, it did did you look at blah." It wasn't exactly that, but that was like, "Oh my gosh, I didn't think about that. We block it." And so having those knowledge partners amongst our team is super helpful. >> That's great. But yeah, I really my team really um another one I like to do once a year. So we've had our ticket system in place since 2011. Um took us a few years to get staff used to submitting a ticket, which is effectively you just email that. Um try to keep the bar really low on it. It goes into a web database. Um and you can see like kind of historically uh blue is the number of tickets that come in, red is the
008number of tickets that we actually close or resolve. Um you know there's ups and downs over the year um on this last year only 24 25 there's a bigger gap between the number of requests we got and the work number of requests that we closed. I'm going to say one of the bigger issue I'm going to address later is this is our first year of doing in-house Chromebook repairs. And so those aren't necessarily Chromebook tickets that we didn't close that have looked at that granularity, but just in general our load or staffing that consumed more and more of our time. So be a team of three or full. You're managing >> request issue. >> Technically that is two people with me supporting them. So our Janine who is our assistant our our student information systems
009coordinator um her role is kind of different. So she's a bit of an outlier in our team. her focus silo is around Skyward, making sure we're compliant and all of that, making sure the data is at, you know, that kind of thing. So, she occasionally will get support requests directed towards her. Um, but she is effectively, you know, her her percentage of that is very minor. We'll also have a couple of tickets too that um having the advantage of having Rebecca Pratzig and Cynthia Richardson as our our rattosis who are supporting our teachers in using technology to impact our instruction. Um we do take you know there's a percentage of our support requests that come in that we pass along to that because it's not a problem as much as understanding and that's been super
010helpful as well. Um just information I thought this was an interesting thing. So this is kind of a breakdown. We categorize every ticket that comes in. Um we started this maybe four or five years ago. I haven't done a reflection over multiple years and honestly for the most part this stays pretty pretty pretty good slice of the pie. And this isn't also isn't weighted by the amount of work effort needed to it. It is just what the category. So there's no kind of this isn't a a reflection of how much time is spent on the project just the number of requests that comes in. You see the largest chunk is centered around RC devices that I'll go more into that I say. >> And then the next one is spam and junk mail. >> Ironically
011enough, yes, we get a lot of spam and junk mail. And and granted like I thought I'm not going to put it on this slide, but there is a you know every one of those first we got to identify is it really spam just because we don't recognize an email address it could very easily be apparent. So even if it's five minutes you know it's 556 five minutes over the course of a year right and that's it trivial but not trivial. Do you guys do a reward system where you send out a funny spam to see if people can recognize the scam versus a real spam? >> We have not and I've kicked that around. There's a couple of organizations over the years that I I've chatted with and considered. There's some um uh I
012can't think of any of their names, but yeah, there are there there are systems you can purchase that that becomes their role as they they reach out. What we try to do right now is that because we'll get requests from stuff and people are are pretty good now about saying, "Hey, this looks kind of suspicious." And they'll forward it on to us and we'll read it and then you will we'll you respond to the person as well, but a lot of times we'll send it out globally and say, "Okay, like hey, here's an example." So, we don't try to like I'm going to say to bait anybody and see if they get caught, but we try to just continue to raise awareness around around that. because it is it's just part of doing business and
013not all of it gets built. I have two spam filters. >> Yeah. >> And stuff still. >> We used to have fishing simulations and those who didn't fish the simulation, those ones got to go to class. So that >> that's what I was saying. Yeah. At the beginning of getting a device, you would be trained on this is what fishing looks like and then you would be you're given a device and now be prepared, >> right? >> And now, right? And then it happens all the time and all of a sudden it's like, >> congratulations, you pass. If you fishing fish and you, you know, you didn't get caught, then it's like this big thing sound comes up on your So, it's kind of like, it's kind of fun. >> Oh, yeah. I I really
014like what I've seen and I've seen different organizations in Wom County have used stuff like that. >> Yeah. >> With with some success and some, you know, some challenges and like so many other things, you know, at the end of the day, there's some dollars involved and time involved. And so, you know, it's waiting what's going to give us the biggest return. So far, so far we have not had very much most of our staff have reached out once at a point early enough to where things look suspicious. >> Yeah, I just see the or 15% being spent on that. So, how if you could catch it or train up front before and if we had to spend a little bit more money up front to do some navigation, what that would just, you know,
015if we could maybe have some conversation about that, what that would look like to if everybody had a device and that conversation, maybe if we could drop that number, you know, just to lessen your load. That's all I was thinking about. >> Yeah, I want I want to let me let me clarify on that. So that that spam is actually spam that we are getting directed to our ticket system. >> So it's it's random emails that is that's so there is >> directly to you >> directly to our ticketing system >> not to everybody's >> not as not as a global kind of thing. They're not our sorry yes it's not our staff getting that. Now I will since we're on the topic of spam though, right? So I have an initial filter. All of
016our email goes through >> 90% of the email that that filter receives gets filtered. >> Then that passes the rest that 10% off to Google which then Google will tag stuff as spam or not spam and deliver it to the user. Sure. But most, you know, 90% is pretty static significant and so >> and it's just the same jump over. >> Um, hey, our last week we had fun. >> So, um, and I'm sure Jay will probably talk about it some during his meeting because I I'm gonna again like I talk about my team partnering with Jay has been phenomenal. But he is always supportive. We worked together today working on Garretts. And when I say we, Jay and Noel were up on the lift. I was down below with my laptop actually. >> Wow.
017>> But yeah, so it's been super helpful. So our, you know, as you know, we are have a generator that is part of our previous 2021 to 2020 or le. Um, we determined that we needed a generator to support district-wide operations. That was approved. It was in the plans. We got delayed because availability and cost. Um, we've moved forward with it. We've already written the PO. It's been approved and the unit is in process, but there's still, you know, a delivery time. So, um that will be right now we're anticipating a December 25 roll out um which would have made this almost a non-issue for keeping data running elsewhere. We could have repurposed. So, this that we did keep things running as best we were able started off with our tracker which I asked Jay
018about how old it was. So, >> I ran that I ran out of high school. >> It is old. It is July. Jay shared with me that I had him generating power for our district on the coldest day of this year and the hottest day of this year. So, it'll be nice again. Um, everything's over though. So, the electrical was also from the fuse that blew was from 1992. >> That's when I graduated. >> You bought that track. And so, >> okay, >> you can't get it. It is not available anywhere. Jay was able to find somebody who buys up um like old shops and stuff and then resells all the things. He had three new in a box on a shelf. Figured he'd never sell them to I mean, how we found them, it
019was totally lost. Got those overnighted, put it in, and we're back up and running and we have to use. So, >> so just to throw it out there from the market and PR standing that would be a fun thing to put a wheel on our social media specifically about how maintenance and it are working together for improvements on our this is where our dollars are going to make things work. And then also a little bit of a comedic twist on trying to find something feminine maybe to make things work. >> Yeah. >> So that's I just I love that idea and I have >> Yeah. Great. >> And is is this a generator that we were trying to get for our bond >> or No, not for the bond. >> Okay. >> This was already
020approved. >> This was the other one. >> We said nice job. >> Yeah. the two back to both. What I find interesting is I replaced the 1992 with the in the box new 1980 some pieces from 1995 or something like that. >> They were older. >> Who does this? >> J's a good man. talk about improvis >> especially when we're trying to save stay within a budget >> right before going out and spending big dollars >> easy like >> yeah I feel like that came out of my dad's garage >> the alternative here would be replacing that transformer which would have significantly time and expense And this is one of the things where I don't I don't see the data on how many people are actually engaging in schoolboard meeting and seeing this firsthand or
021another avenue for >> that be a really good >> um okay so going to kind of run through some of the projects um and some of this is going to be stuff you guys are already aware of. So another part of the um the previous levy we identified um in classrooms uh part of our multimedia and um audiovisisual was in need and so under the 2124 levy we identify the middle school and B as in the most need and so we've already made progress our last step is this is getting uh uh audio so the teachers have that little smaller square is a pendant that the teachers will wear and um we went to a conference a year or two ago and they had those and it was clear and it was it was really
022worth well. So we reached out to the vendor. Uh pricing was fine. Um and with this setup it comes with that for the teacher and then the the actual mini microphone then so that the teachers can hand it to a kid so that the kid can engage or if you have some other presenter in the room or second person. So every room has two microphones and so we'll have this completely rolled out. Uh everything is either on site or on order or installed. So the speakers are installed, the microphones are on order. And so we're expecting to have this up and running for middle school and IB start of fall. uh or MP3 MHS pay they had systems in place when they were new but through FCC licensing and wear and tear it's not a
023longer and even platform so we identified we wanted to make that happen during the next the levy cycle we're in so they are slotted for that currently just from a a budgeting standpoint it's going to be later in that le so right now we're looking at like the solid 12% >> I like the microphones because not everybody likes to get up in front the classroom and speak. So, being able to hand a microphone around and have their voice amplified is really nice. >> Teachers appreciate it. >> That's really nice >> because they don't have to >> they don't have to raise their voice and train their own little things. >> So, they get to wear a box around their neck but yet pass around the microphone. Yeah. And no, no concerns with like post 1973
024building where you don't have old growth wood and the walls are a little thinner, >> you know, is that any kind of distraction from the roof. Is that any complaints about that? We haven't had it. So, well, I'm going to mix my answer on that. So, with the systems we had from the new buildings, we didn't have any complaints. And we've rolled two of these systems out at the middle school and none of their neighbors have bad. >> So, I and you know, it it has a volume, too. So, if it starts to get it it will crank up quite loud. Um, and so it's nice too. Then we can tie in we'll tie in our, you know, TVPC that goes in every room into it. Um, we put four speakers in the ceiling because
025that way we can, you know, do a directional sound and kind of section out the room in four quadrants. So, we're getting a nice even platform across. >> It's also good for children. They can hear wherever you don't have to raise your voice and people take >> um security cameras. We are going to be working on again part of the the um the pre finishing off the previous levy. We have the security cameras to put five locations up at FD3. Um so we're working on that this summer. We've got all the infrastructure in place. And so that's again that's what Jay's team and I will be partnering on. >> Great. Kind of looking at things that we started from the 25 to 28 levy. um uh doing in that same uh classroom technology. Um we
026weren't planning on doing TVs and multimedia in those classrooms until much later in the levy again just because of how the levy sliced out budget-wise. Um early on this year it just became untenable with the systems that we had in place. Our projectors are the ones at the high school and IRA. They're they're a decade old plus. Um they're actually older because they were bought at before construction even started. The minute the the contract was dry, they put in Boston, put in storage, put in play, run for 10 years. It's well outside their usable lifespan. We were trying to keep peak in one more year, one more year, one more year, but it just it was awesome. So kind of did some shuffling around and push something projects off later. Doing a lot of projects
027where I'm going to do them in the summer, but we're going to stall it just enough. will tip over into the next period more than just being kind of creative with how we listen. But yeah, that goes and goes. So, so as of now, every classroom in the district has that TV or >> I think Michelle had asked previously uh what would happen to the TVs that were pretty new that were already being that were in classrooms that were being upgraded and we said we were kind of going to hold on to those and then keep them for other classrooms. Is that still the plan? >> Yeah. So, we had So, we had I'm I'm trying to count in my head. I want to say we have prior to doing this adoption, we had max
028a dozen TVs districtwide and a lot of them were mounted in on like the there's a quad TVs that are in the um commons at the high school. >> Oh, that were bigger. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I think the concern was if we move to action rather quickly on a new >> turf we did that before >> yeah but that's been differentation >> no but I I hope I want you guys to know as well that every piece I buy is with the intention of it being taken with and carried forward >> assuming the age of the equip of it, >> right, >> is worth the effort. >> Yeah. We have those surplus sales and things like that like some of the universities do. >> We do. It's, you know, >> just like our buses, >>
029we do it. You know, >> it's actually something that haven't been done regularly and so Joe next thing surplus. >> Yeah. Sure. You actually approve those periodically and make them approved because you have to have >> on our consent agenda. >> Yeah. >> I just don't see them being like a go into a room at or it's all website >> public surplus at which we we picked up like the shop on West use those problems. So, I don't think that I'll be honest, too. By the time we're done with stuff, you know, it there is very little value and life in the things that we're, you know, when we're done with a Chromebook, it's because Google has determined they're not they're done with it. And so, they're limited interest. We did surplus two three years
030ago when we so when we did the one to one we did a pretty large surplus of all of our old Chromebooks and iPads that were obsolete at that point and we had some takers but a lot of it ended up getting recycled >> I'm just wondering more of a community focused surplus program once a year or something like that might get more traction than big clubs that they're >> true need a 75 inch TV that's 10 year old their children are playing video games >> um again just other projects we worked on this year so um uh working with Daniel and James I want to say it was the 2023 24 budget um We allocated extra money to address some of our aging uh security cameras that were also part of construction. So we
031purchased the cameras, got about half of them installed that summer of 2024. We're working now to finish off the last each one of them. So we were up that was one of the ones we were working on today. Every location we put a camera up. I'm I'm a big fan of multi- camera things because it cost is nice and get four cameras. So, this is a single location that we can get a 180 degree view of. >> All about upgrading our security. >> Yep. >> And and visibility, right? >> Yeah. >> Uh I touched on earlier, but I feel like you know, Chrome Chromebook repairs have been been a big time consuming project. Um we had so we have of our Chromebooks we have roughly a 2200 unit week of um uh Chromebooks or um
032520 of them were sent to us for some form of repairs you know one determining repair documenting it making the repairs a lot of times what we're doing is is that um Motherboard repairs have been kind of starting to be our bigger issue. And what's happening is is that the power will stop powering. So the USB board will no longer power them no longer except to charge. It's not clear if it's because it's damaged the motherboard or if it's just damaged the USB port. But a motherboard replacement is open to $100 if you can get it. Not worth it on a now pushing six-year-old phone. So that we use those for parts. So then they're spending time to tear down to get screened for the screen on a different device, but overall it's a net.
033It's less of a net loss moving forward with that too. I said somewhere there that we're going to lose and for that specific case, we're probably going to lose about two devices to three devices every week. >> Every week. So >> is there a different device that we have been starting to think about? probably my volume. >> It's not necessarily. So there's age stuff, right? Technology does not last long just from a just from a a functional standpoint. Manufacturers do not have interest in making technology that last. So from an equipment standpoint, all of these devices have have reached their usable lifespan that is. And so the timing for us is finding that happy spot, you know, and it's just like, you know, every everybody's car has a usable lifespan. Oh, yeah. >> Right. You
034can keep repairing it. There's a point where the repair exceeds the value versus new. And it's finding that happen spot and and you don't want your car to all of a sudden break down right at this moment when you're you need it. And now you're like, do I go buy a new car? I don't have a car. It becomes a crisis, right? And so it's finding that sweet spot of where I'm going to replace it here even though it still works. And there might even be some residual value there, >> right? >> We have all these cars, we have no tradein value right now, >> which is where we're at. And and we do not have >> capacity to buy a new car right now either, right? And so it's finding aligning all these things
035to get us to the point. My goal with all this is that if we can get one more a year out of these devices, then we're going to be what I call mid in the middle of the le, right? Because this is our biggest purchase in the left. This this the student and staff devices announced for almost I think I forget what I said, but it's almost half the level. >> Yeah. So if we can get to the middle of the levy, that's kind of because then once we, you know, when we request and reach out to our voters and for the next cycle of devices, we'll we'll be purchasing in that middle of the levy, the devices will have some residual value and then we'll just keep in that cycle of every four to
036five years. We we surplus, we reby, we might keep some of them that are still good as as spares, and it'll help reduce our footprint a little bit as well. Um but what happened to us which was you know that was our original plan was to do it that way but what happened is we didn't even have the levy in place yet and we bought the devices we had the leisure which then made the whole thing so trying to get things lined back up that >> well we could say even if they're end of life or whatever they could in the loner program I mentioned before seeing students with four or five crumbles in their backpack >> it'd be great we had some less desirable end of life devices to use with our own nursery,
037>> which which we do do now. We use we we have our devices that we bought back in, you know, the teens um that we've been interspersing. Um and so so we do Yeah. And that's this is part of our plan. We're also targeting small batches where we can get uh longevity out of the devices. and reutilize those as longer slash repairs. Uh we're doing a Windows 11 update. >> Yay. >> Um I think this is my so uh projects we're working on. So we met with um with uh grade level leaders back in early spring. um essentially to discuss you know is a take-home model still the right model? What are the pros? What are the cons? What are the costs? Um essentially the the takeaway from all of that is that we decided
038that for this year we're going to switch our TK through 2 grade students. They're no longer be assigned a device to take home. So those devices will stay on on campus. So we bought a bunch of uh carts to do those. Um so we collected all our iPads at the end of this school year. Uh we are spending our time now cleaning them and and seeing how how well the cases go through the dishwasher without the iPad and see if that helps speed up our process. But that is that is another big project we have this summer. um we'll load those up for efficiency sake that what we are doing is we're going to actually so with the thought that we're going to lose two or three devices a year are going to become irreparable.
039We opted then we're going to buy what we did. We bought brand new Chromebooks for second grade because those are going to stay on site. So when we cycle through the next replacement cycle, which I'm hoping will be next summer, we will not replace those machines. So they'll have a slightly longer, they'll get a five or six year instead of a four or five year and then move back in when we replace them. I think it's in 2030 or 2031. So, so things like that where we can target areas that are have a better better success expectation and then reutilize the stuff that we've heard of. >> I'm very excited to see that. >> Me too. >> No, we're we're going to it's a it's a pilot like everything else and we're going to see
040and um then we'll see from there. We'll have conversations again to see where we go from. There is there is a distinct need that we address for our middle and high school students that are different than our elementary students. And so, but there also is conversations around when do kids learn them that responsibility. So, so it's not just like we're going to keep these devices in school. We're going to be more purposeful about okay, when do we teach the students on how to take care of those devices when they'll take them home? When does that happen? What are the expectations? Maybe it's not, you know, there and again this is conversation we'll have, but maybe it's not a day one you get a device and it's, oh, you go and learn how to take care
041of the device and then you're going to take it home tonight and bring it in tomorrow. Hey, did you bring it in tomorrow? Just re rebuilding our system a bit after having uh so many things just had to do it because we had to do it. So, but every step of the way being thoughtful about what we're doing and what what we expend our most. Well, we ask a lot of our parents, right? So, for our children of that age, and so I think it it's not just a notebook that goes home, it's a device. And so, it's a less responsibility for parents as well. So, it stays in that locker room and when they come, you know, it's I just think it's a win for everybody. It's just a just stays. So, I'm hoping
042that's a winner for you as well. >> Yeah, I'm curious to see the, you know, for me. I'm curious to see how Break Fix is for this. How loss is related to having it back on site because we had lost when they were, you know, we had >> Yeah, >> we had shared Chromebook carts and I've had darts for decades now. >> There's always some loss and so I'm curious to see how that has an effect to bring them on site. Yeah, >> most parents hold their children accountable for you know uh maintaining the care of it and not lose all the devices. I will say yes, most do. I mean, we're always going to talk about it is not not 50%, you know, we're talking below 50% of the our students that we have
043challenges with, right? And that that that is all a conversation within itself of like of how do we help our kids be better with this things that were assigned, you know, because again so many things just we rolled forward with what we had, right? And now it's trying to okay like we're not going to just reactively pull everything like we need to be balanced and make sure we're building systems from 19th every year. We're like, "Okay, well, let's look at this different." We get, you know, last year was the first year we actually have it. So, we know when a kid needs us. Like, it's hard to even know that we're missing a device when we find two months, three months later, oh, that student is no longer here, right? And so, getting us deeper
044embedded in the loop. Now we know when a kid leaves a ticket goes in. Every kid that leaves that same day when or I should say when their record in Skyward is updated, we get an email that goes into our ticket system and then Xavier who has our help desk is responsibility is to check our system to see if it's been turned in which sometimes it has. If it has not, that message goes out to the building principal and the secretary and say this device has not been turned in. Please reach out to the PA. And so at least there's more transparency, more communication and all that stuff. And we've been doing that and that's been fairly fairly good, you know. So, and it's just keep building, you know, building these chunks along the way
045to make sure we're being responsible. >> Um, which Yeah. So, we're going to keep doing what we're doing. This is this is actually my project for 25 process. So, we're going to keep doing what we're doing. Um, we're also replacing MP3s to have another pool of devices because historically MP3 students have um returned higher quality equipment. Um, we're going to review with Rebecca Pratzik who was our TOSA at um we're going to review that now that she is transitioning to uh dean of student. uh we don't know what piece of her will remain as part of that uh SOSA and so we'll be looking at that over the next few months and then really the big project for 2526 will be the summer of 26 started to look at all of our staff and student
046service It all sounds very promising and going in a very positive direction for managing our resources and investment. >> Thank you for everything you do, Joe. I mean, you're definitely you're one of those guys behind the scenes that make things happen and get done. You're always at work >> just like today. >> Yeah. But u but the things you do and the dedication I really appreciate. I think you know another lucky to have you. Appreciate that. >> Thank you very much. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Now I get a hang. >> Okay, we're on to public comment. I'm assuming so moving on old business. It be uh second review and approval policy 1430 transition to kindergarten there. Anybody have any questions on that since the first reading? I need a motion. Oh, motion to
047approve policy 2230 transition to kindergarten program and second. All those in favor? >> I approve. >> Okay. Next item business second review and approval of policy and procedure 3110 qualifications of attendance and placement. >> She's been approved. All previously hear 31. >> I'll second. >> It's been moved and second questions or discussion. >> Hearing none. All those in favor? >> I I >> Okay, moving on to new business. First read at the Washington University College and the high school program agreement. So, Dr. Sorry. So this is central Washington and we are getting approval to provide multiple classrooms math classes. So we'll see other classes come on forward as we look forward but this is a very similar ever school. Um we have the plastic identified for Ar David Brandon. >> Great. Next on business first
048receive polic and family engagement. Good evening. Yeah. So we have we have two for policy procedures for first reading order. Um and then and then we have kind of a unique feature in that um in the July 2025 quarterly legal um policy and procedure policy and legal news that Blazda publishes. Um they made some modifications to the classifications. So these are these are fairly minor. Um, and I gave you in your in your board packet, I gave you the Laza kind of article that goes through them, explains them a little bit. Um, and so we'll go through them. Um, so the first one is they changed essential to critical. No other real changes in the definition. They just changed the name. Um the second one is they went to important. This one helps me a
049little bit. Encourage is yeah you can do it if you want but important is like hey it's important. Um and the difference in the definition is they added it's not in the definition but in the article they talk about audit finance. And so often you will see in some of the WASDA articles, you'll see, hey, as a result of statewide audit findings, we're making this change. Um, and then this one again protects districts from identifiable situations that could lead to litigation. Um, no change to discretionary. And then in the in the article that was published, I thought it was beneficial that here's some benefits of WASDA model policies. Um and the first one is for me the one of the important one is it's sound legal guidance. Um and so laws that goes through they
050work with attorneys they work with to match their policies with state and federal laws. Um the second one is it provides school district by removing barrier barriers to legal compliance. The theory is if you adopt a policy then you're going to follow what's inside of it and if you follow what's inside of it you'll be protected from legalities. And then the third one is it's financial benefits to school districts. We have gone through the process of creating policies since Dr. Everion twice. uh we created a disability policy and then we created the equity which is part of the non-discrimination policy. Both of those policy created as we created them that process that was multiple meetings, multiple staff, multiple hours used a lot of our resources which is great. I think they were I stand behind
051the product that the committees produced but when was published I think in July they gave updates to I think 20 policies that's kind of it because that work is vetted and so that takes the pressure off of our um as this is something I want to highlight we we have a history of taking wazda policies the model polic policy especially if they are in the critical or essential formerly known as essential um we have the ability to if the board says hey what about can we modify this we have the ability to do that but we're going to do that with the guidance I've already I can remember a a request from the board about changing I think two words two or three words in a policy and that came back as that would be
052substantial we were advised are legal not to do that. But so we we do rely heavily on our legal counsel for these policies. And then the third one which I've also found is it is it gives us a chance to make sure that we're updating our policies. So since that July edition came out, I've been spending time going through all of our policies when updated them last and when we updated them last. We're not we're not in bad shape. we have some work to do. And so one of the things I talked to Dr. Ever about this morning was, hey, can we bring more policies? I've been trying to limit it to three policies. Um, but bringing more policies to the board just so we can update them in in bigger patches. So trying to
053keep them, you know, maybe shoot five or seven, being being um mindful of time, being mindful of sometimes that if the policyy's really big, we're just going to bring two or three. Um if there's some minor additions, um bringing bringing multiple so we can try to go through. I think too if we're mindful of that we have questions to get them done off where we have you know through email and >> not here then we can get through those. I so appreciate um Steve's emails out saying, "Hey, if you have questions and I I really appreciate questions on the policies um it helps me understand them better and if I'm seeking counsel on them, it it helps clarify. >> So to date, we've been adopting policy as well as the information. >> Yes, to some
054extent. So, how are you going to shift that? Where do we what is the actually you're doing your own we're doing our own internal audit now that haven't been updated >> kind of. Yeah. So, that day you came into my office and we spent time looking at that document. >> I have as I went back I have that document in 22 I think and each time I've updated it and then I go and I look for it and I have like 12 of the same thing I get confused. So, now I have one master copy. Um, but I am just going to I've put all the for example Rosda in the July edition. There's four different policies that are specific to Lord. They're in that thousands category. So I've downloaded the modified policy and then
055I've clipped the WASDA article that goes with it and that's in full. So at the next board meeting there either that one or the next one. I already have probably four that come to you that are bigger. Um, that's going to come to you and it may be in a batch. Maybe here's the thousands that you need to update. I've gone through each of those. The big one that we have some work to do is the 6,000 series. Um, that is the one that we have the most up need to update. But so they'll be in batches. So I'm not digging around as much. I'm I can go go these are coming to you now. I can tell you next time you're going to be you're going to have a student discipline one. You're going
056to have a special education one. Um and there's one other one that still I already have three. There may be one or two more. >> It'll be when that goes out on Friday when when Andy sends those out there'll be a little bit more there'll be more to review. Um, but I'm open with that questions may come later and then we can update update these copy. >> I like how you presented them. It's really easy to understand like what's been deleted, what was there before. So, I really like how it's to read it. >> Thank you. I appreciate that. >> Other questions on process updating? No, I do appreciate the the plan that they're going to come in batch and hopefully under same contact or theme so that we are already in that mindset and
057know what we're >> that would be helpful >> classifications categories. >> Yeah, >> that sounds great. >> I think the last time we defined was 2014. years. >> Yeah. And that is the 20134 those are our um anything before that I know it's updated and I think one board member it was presented to all but I think one board member took that on >> and that board member I believe had a passion for the policy and procedures but that was a lot of that was because they were they were the 2000 batch. >> Yeah. I remember her and Tom having a conversation about those. >> So we're we're we're doing okay. >> I think when we see I hope everything at least we're in conformity not out of complaint but we're always continuation. So yeah,
058this is just some adjusting >> and something comes up from loss that needs to change, we just stick it in the mix >> to be addressed immediately. >> Yep. >> Especially if it's if it's critical or essential, I try to put them in pretty fast. Um if it's kind of the discretion area, then they they do better. >> Okay. We're just trying to clarify we're in compliance. We're just doing best practice about it. Okay. >> All right. So, our first one tonight is title one. Um, this is a it's an update to an existing policy, but WA was created a brand new procedure go along with it. And so I worked with um Adrian, director of teaching and learning, and I worked with our two title one principles on I created a um if you
059look at the procedure, the red in there is what we as a district are going to do. So that red is unique to us. Um and so I worked with our principles and director of teaching learning on hey, does this make sense? are we doing it or is this something that we we're going to need to do? And that procedure is broken up into the first portion of that procedure is broken up by district. I think part B or part two is broken up by school. We did both of them. Um but we wanted to be a lot and we wanted a plan to go forward. So, so this one is this is a critical slash essential policy and it's a federal title one is a federal program. Title one comes with federal funding. Um,
060and it basically just outlines the expectation for parent engagement. These expectations have been there being a title one school. What the procedure does is it really kind of solidifies it. It codifies it and it calls it out. question about this one and then it really highlights the parent. So this looks to me that the binary forward I I really like that. >> Yeah. >> Get people involved. >> Okay. And then again this is the first reading. So as other questions come through Senator Jun heer. So that is the that is the first one. >> Next one. first review policy and procedure 6801 capital assets that sensitive assets. So this is again an update to an existing policy. Um if you look at that policy and procedure, um the only thing they did is they aligned
061the dollar amount to match the changes in the uniform guidance, which I had to look up uniform guidance. Um, and it takes me to a link uh which is the code of uh code of federal regulations and it and it lists um what is defined as equipment other capital expenditures. Um so this is based on a change in the federal guidance. Um and then where this also comes in is is the theft and sensitive um items. So that could be um the computers. So all of our computers are catalog their their tag. So this is this is both of those. Um this was sent to Daniel um sent to Joe and sent to Jay. They all agree with what's So again, first reading to it if you have questions. >> Okay. Thank you. Okay. Next
062up, uh for new business, the board is being asked to perform a first review and a motion to approve the Boys and Girls Club 21st DC Health Services understanding as detailed in the past. provided. >> So, you've already seen and approved the data sharing agreement. This is for the 21st century grant. Um, this is also uh it's an application. We don't have a guarantee that we're going to get the grant. We don't have a guarantee there's going to be funding for it. So, this year's 21st century grant funds were frozen with the other title funds about three or four weeks ago and uh were just released. So, that's promising. But there's uh that's the reason we actually are doing it needs to be um applied for on Friday. So we first move tonight. It just
063outlines what we're doing. I did talk to Heather today. This application represents $410 plus,000 that will come to school district in the form of employees for them to support 170 of our students at IRA and school through after school program. So, um, it's going to be fantastic for artists here. >> This is for this year only. It's it's something that can be renewed every year. >> So, we don't necessarily be apply, >> correct? >> Start putting people in place. >> Sorry about um this won't take away from mya any way, right? This is just after school. >> There's an academic and a social aspect. Okay. There's also some career exploration organiz. >> We'll do a first and a second immediately. >> Yes. So we'll need a motion to understand second. >> So we need a
064motion to a motion to approve the uh the memorandum. Um, I'll make a motion to approve the MLU for the Boys and Girls Club. >> Does that need right now? >> Second. >> Move the second. Is there any further discussion or questions? Hearing none. All those in favor? I Okay. finance report. Damn. Are you still commuting from Spokane? >> Yep. >> Good lord. Like airline road. >> It's all good. I cut my east like hall cabin spokes that few,000 pickers >> like long haul like uh uh not gravel but hay or something. Right. Yeah. As long as people need me to bring up >> it's all yours. >> All right. Uh finance report. Let's see what's first. Okay. So this is the um June enrollment compared to May and uh really looking at the core
065program and MP3 those uh productions. three in the core program and two in that's pretty good going from you know some loss at the end of the year enrollment I one thing that stuck out to me was the special ed enrollment and it went up by 12 from May to June so I reached out to Aaron to kind of first see okay is this legit and this is and basically kind of notes here. He he says basically three three reasons. Um early childhood transition. So birth to birth two transition back to prek. So they have more birthdays. at the end of the year that added to the account. He said the second one was probably the most significant display referrals and um that families and providers were um deferrals last month school year this year.
066Uh and then we said finally there are some transations or there some that may been exited to come back on. So um that is kind of a large number but it's a real number. Um uh looking at comparator budget we'll just jump back to special ed. specializes up 25 overall. Actually, it was interesting. We were started the year below and then it kind of progressed up when you know you're looking at this it looks like more because at 12 just that was still 25 quite a bit. Um and then the core program um was up 29 and then I think was that too. So um we stabilized pretty good around 215 for for MP3. It's been typically budgeted at 215 it comes in right about the last state. So overall in total we're up three7
067and this really hard document to see is the um budget status report. And so this this I am looking at both May and June this month. And it's uh put May on hold last month. We adopted the budget email. So it's already presented for quite a bit of time. Um so we'll go over May and June. The budget status report. Um the the first page is the general fund and that it's just a lesser detail object report on a spreadsheet. They didn't have anything that stuck out to me as a neutral or anything that we explained or have to tell on there were a couple things in June. Now break. Okay, so now we're we're in June here. So in the debt service fund um on June 1st we paid our interest only payment for
068for 2007 the 2010 bonds and that was $159,000. We have a principal and interest payment on December 1st. So we are paying in June the summertime we pay just interest. Um, for the transportation vehicle fund, we also just had a bus delivered in June. That was $145,000. We're expecting a couple more buses from Zoom as well. >> Can I ask a question about the buses? >> Yeah. >> When we retire a bus, we retire the bus number and then did the bus get its retired bus number? >> Do we think a favor >> or Yeah, kind of. Oh, like does that if bus number three goes out, does it get that bus? >> I think she does remember it. Do you know? Yeah, I have no idea. >> We'll find out. >> That'd be a
069question for Michelle, but maybe. >> No, no, no. I had a clarifying question. We had a meeting a week ago. We had a retreat and one of the question we all sign off don't, you know, we don't take a salary board members. I remember you shared many years ago with another like 92 bucks or something like that. >> But then one of the things we brought up is like the money that we don't receive as correct. Remember does that money go to the ASB fund? >> No. I thought I thought it when Kim was here, you know, you know, at first Kim was here, he explained how it worked and then you had like, oh yeah, by the way, now you're board member, you can only make $200 a month and then, you know, and
070as we talked about that, but I thought it was like instead of the funds just like we just don't receive anyway, the money did go somewhere. I thought it was, you know, whatever the board would receive as >> compensation would go to the ASB. That's not the case. No, I'm not really recalling anything about that conversation either. So, >> that wasn't just with Kevin. >> Yeah, the general fund does support the ASB in a number of ways. So, we got rid of fees and ASB cards and students got cards and we stock it in class and whatnot. Now um each school has an aotment that they basically that they have in the ASBOs the general fund I think we pay check to kill to support ASB. So there's support coming there but it's not directly
071tied to how much you guys get paid. Um also um we pay for we pay for um athletic officials. So the the ASB pays for that employ there is some support there and it is legal for channel to support it. basically any kind of compensation for waving it just remains in the general fund. >> Right. Right. >> Yeah. Yeah. I was working that was I think the convers was like I spoke to Daniel and I hope this is a deal breakaker but you know there's rules if you're going to be a board vendor rule. Yeah. There's a limited statistic. Okay. Even if it's for other services and I don't do it for the money hospitality. >> Yeah. Thank you for your services. Definitely appreciate it guys. Uh me in June um on the budget projection
072report general fund. uh just I'm going to kind of bounce back and forth between them not seem to make sense. Um I signal through that the the revenues uh for for both May and June the the allocation that we get for our portionment is lower five and six%. So it is those both of those months are lower months. It's kind of set up because the state knows that we get a similar tax from so it's kind of like a flow spoven trickling in May. We got $464,000 the rate payments. I don't know if you all recall this, but in this last legislative session, there was to address the Amazon shortfall legislators offered $50 per student. And so that came actually through this f this year. We got that in June. That was, $100. When people
073pay late on their taxes, how do we benefit from the interest? >> We do. That goes to the county. >> Goes to the county. I was wondering about that. >> We do eventually we will get all of our tax. Uh one more thing to point out in the the revenue side. So this is in the garrison payment $40,000 $35,000 to collect on that typically invoice once payroll hits in August for these types of grants. We got $23,000 per child certificate and then $22,000 for walk,000 questions on the revenues on the expense side of things. Um salaries were actually salaries and now payable were right about where I would expect them to be. June is a bit higher on the the salary amounts and that's usually because everybody's been in those last minute time sheets and
074so you have some more extra time flow through in June. Um for accounts payable in May it was $469,000. of June there's $22,000 again those kind of check out as well most of they just have increased activity as everybody's spending now there's a May 15 purchase order deadline at the district level or two department schools have their purchase orders submitted to the district by May and they usually that needs teachers as they process that final $5,000 more to get that >> is that for the year end. >> Yes. Y and then at shortly after that we open up the next school year and start expending for the next year. So they it's it's easiest. We have one of our vendors is they they work with school. >> So on accounts payable, I like to kind
075of point out the things that stood out to me as being larger ticket items. Um there's the about $21,000 a month for special education residential placement program. So I believe what I was looking at [Music] come through but there was there was about 21,000 paid in June um that vendor we paid our winter running start in May that was $198,000 and then in both May and June we would make payments to Washington state auditor's office 16,500 in May and 4500 to the total cost of the audit. This question is $15,000. So this is our our larger audit where they accountability audit as well where on every other year it's probably about that $55 to $60,000 range. on the off year with just our financial ins which is our federal programs it's about $27,000 this was
076the big one the questions on the side of things >> can I digress on something though and I apologize to this I wanted to ask question a long time ago am I allowed This is the budget. >> It's it's just about um kind of >> Okay, >> you can tell me if I'm incorrect and then >> um it's about wording. It's about funding for uh I'll try and make it about budget. It is it's about budget. It's about um we're talking about running start budget to BTC and the difference between vocational and nonvocational. So there's just two different um amounts that are paid. So I was just wondering about what makes it vocational or nonvocational. [Music] I can I don't know for sure. I know that almost all of it ends up being vocational or
077you'll have like two or three% being nonvocational. I guess I would say classes that they're taking but they're it's for a vocational trade or so often times these programs are more expensive to run and so you have higher levels. Do you see that? That's a higher end. >> Assume most of it goes toward that >> most. Uh so on this budget projection report I always like to point out the the budget percentage versus the actual and we're just tracking a little bit under that students are have a pretty tight budget. It'll be it'll be that way again next year as well. will be able to kind of say a little bit but essentially it's just saying that we run through that but but also it's a very good indicator you see that number above the
078actual numbers going about it trying to get closer see why is it doing that what what are we doing for the rest of the year back so with our total budget appropriations. Um, I do want to give an audit update. The audit is complete. They're they're going to send out a email on Friday inviting um board members management to an exit meeting. But exit 8. Yes. Uh it looks like it's going to be August 6 that we open. Um typically it's it's nice to have one or two board members if uh we have more interest in having more than two. Um typically I'll do like two backtoback meetings [Music] rules. Um, the audit went the audit went really smooth. Um, they were they were great to work with. There there weren't a whole lot of
079recommendations. There was kind of a little bit of like a uh surprise last minute finding where um oftent times it ends up when you get like finding versus not finding. It can kind of just depend on what the issue is, what the state laws are around it. Um, in this one there's a few sessions ago there was a requirement put in place that put on RCW said before you go out um to the voters to approve a levy have to fill out um have to fill out space the uh It's >> yeah. >> So you have to you have to um complete this. It's basically like an Excel form and it just it varies your budget in the various categories. uh you know how much are you spending each of the categories until orange and
080send it to OSPI back so but there's this requirement they have to do that wait that before you go out to the voters to approve the levy and this is something that just wasn't on my radar I did it like right you know a session a when we went out for a levy four years prior it had just been fresh in my mind. I was like okay this will this go around. So didn't do that and then when when the auditors asked about it I said no we forgot to do this like all right just submit it to OSBI subbi approval and then at the end of the audit when they were working through their final review they have so they have the val team mostly work the audtors and that school seen that's in
081Olympia you exceptions and And when they were doing that, they were like, "Okay, here's your finding." They sent back the finding. And so the audience is seen this before. I've seen this in our office before. So anyway, we have we have planning on that and along with that planning have to do within 30 days after the close of the audit audit report to do a Frank. >> Yeah. Public hearing. Sorry. You have to do a public hearing. So we'll hear public hearing basically to say this is what happened. Um so anyway that'll they'll discuss it more. We also have um management letter. So there's three levels of reporting. There's finding which significant management letter usually management comedation. So you do the prior audit and then escalate it to the management letter and then when they
082have those multiple house items. So this management letter um that one is that one is in regards to supplemental contracts. So, so this is what coaches are or advisors. So, there's a state law and the state law says that you have to issue supplemental contracts annually. And I within that supplemental contract, you have to set up what the expectations gain for that staff member. We weren't doing that and I think this may be our third audit where we weren't doing that. We reached out to our attorney. We were getting guidance said basically vague warranty of that and has the attorney general's office and their office is non that RCW issue those contracts annually and then we could specify what the job or I think there's um I mean I think there is some good in
083this that probably we can do as as far as really specifying what those job duties are criteria however contracted a full education and then there's just a couple housing items to all in all it was it was actually a very skilled audit felt so best way to find a manageable >> and we know next steps do any of those action items also post agenda any kind of financial >> no there's really any impact besides not to do that public hearing >> yeah we will put some controls right we're doing what >> yeah so we're going to be patrols around that have a have a nice check box that one of those steps to ensure that that is >> even though we're not hearing it actually is part of the sure we can share. >> Yeah.
084>> Thank you. >> Nicely done. >> Thank you so much. >> Next up we have the superintendent report Dr. Okay. Just saw you last week. It hasn't been a whole lot. Uh but did spend some time see um part of the >> No. Wow. >> I got back in the meeting. Um but there are six superintendents in Washington that make up the Washington delegation DC and we had uh spent a day with AASA which is national superintendence association and they have a legislative group and it's all around a legislative advocacy conference and we went to advocate for three specific things. So, as you know, the federal government froze department of ed funding for title one, different aspects of title one. Um, they also are recommending some cuts to the next year's uh fiscal year 2026
085title funds um where referred to as the school budget. So, we wanted to say please make sure that those actually get funded. And then the other one is special education. You've heard us talk about special education is one of the big three in Washington state. When special education came in the form of IDA legislation, so individual disabilities act, the federal government said, "Hey, we have an obligation. We will provide 40% to the states and the states will only pay 60%." At its height, the federal government provided 18% and lately provided 10%. So when we talk about funding from the state for special ed, we also should recognize we're not getting funding to the degree that federal government said 29 as well. So we also advocate for that. So there are the districts. Um and so
086in a unified and nonpartisan effort, we've met with um 10 of our 12. Um we have two uh Republican representatives and we met with one of the and then basically had this conversation. Actually we didn't meet with any of them. We met with their staffers because they were released uh the house went home. So they weren't there for their can't know that we were operating planning year four. So we did meet and and a lot of times their staffers are the ones that actually get work done. So, not bad, but uh good meetings and good conversations. So, um again, just advocating make sure that all our students have a problem with the meeting. >> Were those oneonone meetings one? >> Y mentioned that the funding for title one already got on some of it. >>
087Some of it did. So um 21st century funding did and then the migrant title park also released. So we had summer school that our students are so sure whether the car funds allow us to pay for that. So good that's all funding that was for the fiscal year 2025. That's fun that's already been approved by Congress. Still, there's still some more that goes frozen, but we want to we want it, >> right? And the sentiment you see is it's going to come to us. >> Yeah. >> But it's a matter of when. So the difficulty and what we explain to them is as superintendent when we do all of our budgeting, we start in January or February. >> I mean, we have to by state law commit to contracts and our budget May 15. And
088that's why we that's why we talk about reduction systems. Who can we carry those contracts forward with? And so we make a budget that depends on those title one dollars, >> right? Where it comes from, >> where it comes from. Yeah. So you may have seen in Cascadian news the impact of different districts. I don't know if you seen that article, but um boy really hard. Any cases when I goof this should actually say Wazda on the screen but I carried over so I see you carry the slide over change. So just a reminder it is uh November 20th and 22nd. Uh Angie has everybody registered and hotels and all that. So looking forward to that. Good. >> And then again the public education promise this American agreement action uh ASA and this is this
089is their program moving forward. It has five principles.
