001Any other discussion points on on weighted grades? >> I think this should be table until we have more discussion with >> making that motion >> to table it. >> Yeah, to table it. >> Yeah, tot discussions can be have with Greenwood >> in the joint meeting. One second. >> We have a second. All those in favor >> I >> opposed. >> Nikki was opposed to that, but the motion is tabled. Thank you, Travis. >> Uh we'll move on to 5.6 discussion and possible action on fall coaches. Want to take that one? >> Sure. Do you want to go like sport at a time or all of them or what would you prefer? >> Yeah. Uh, let's go sport at a time, please. >> Okay. So, for football, um, so we're approving assistant coaches for football.

Also again looking to approve our assistant coaches, uh, Vicky Peeper, Lindseay Ty, and then our middle school coaches, Kristen Almond, and Kelly Guyger. Motion to approve. >> So I have a question on that. Um, since we are now no longer having a JV2 team, where would Lindsay fit in? Because there is no JVT2
003squad. >> Yes. So, I had asked that same question in the past and what has happened is the JB2 coach will be an assistant high school coach cuz our numbers are I mean we're right on the bubble. I mean we have seven that if we were to have a JV and JB2 team it would be seven on JB, seven on JB2. So that would be the recommendation. Motion to approve the volleyball coaches as presented. >> I'll make that motion. >> Tom makes the motion. >> I'll second. >> Second by Crystal. All in favor? >> Opposed? >> Motion carries. Cross country. >> Cross country. We are looking to approve varsity assistant Holly Davidson and then uh middle school coach uh Steve Gestart. Motion to approve. question. How many middle school kids are battle for cross country?
004>> I was ready for this one. All right, so cross country. So, right now we have um four boys and four girls. We have two sixth grade girls from Greenwood or sorry, two sixth grade boys from Greenwood. No seventh graders. One uh eighth grade Loyal Boy, one eighth grade uh Greenwood boy. For girls, there are two Greenwood sixth girl or sixth grade girls. There is one loyal seventh grader and then one Greenwood eighth grader. >> Can you add all those up and give it to >> I miss? >> Yeah, I could. >> Can I just in a second? Oh, >> just I just want to >> Sure. The total is uh four boys and four girls. >> So, eight. >> And that was middle school. >> That was middle school. Yes. Would you like any
005other numbers? >> I'll make a motion to approve the assistant and middle school coach. >> Kirk makes the motion to approve the cross country coaches. >> Second by Crystal. All those in favor? >> I. >> Motion carries. And then there is actually one more and I apologize because they should have been on a previous board meeting. Our cheerleading coaches. I don't believe that we have approved those. So, looking to approve the same cheerleading coaches that we had last year, Erin Chapel and Tara. >> Question on the cheerleading program. Do we have middle school cheerleaders? >> I think it's just middle. Yes, we do that also cheer with our high school. >> Will middle school cheerleaders be riding the bus with the football players to go to? >> Absolutely not. Um, so last year what they
006did is they took severance. Okay. Um, so they will not ride the bus and we're they were notified of that tonight. So I have a followup on that. >> All right. >> Okay. >> And how many students? >> Uh, so that just started yesterday. Um, I'm not sure on the middle school numbers, but coach was uh thinking that there was going to be about five high schoolers. >> Is that for football and basketball? >> That is for just football right now. And then we will also have winter cheer with our same cheer coaches. >> Motion made by Matt to hire the cheerleading coaches. >> Second by Crystal. All those in favor? >> Motion passes. 5.7 discussion and possible action on admin admission fees. So, at the joint board meeting, uh you have the handout of
007what uh the current Greenwood the old current or the old Greenwood prices and what our current goal versus prices were. Um proposed prices was for admission adults all adults $4, children 18 and under uh and veterans and senior citizens free an annual adult pass uh $25 and uh we called it a household pass $35. Greenwood did pass it at the joint meeting. >> We didn't have ours posted correctly. Vote on it there. Yep. So um according to up above household pass includes two parents and however many kids or is there like a set >> say mean like college kids that come home for like break is what was discussed. >> So if my two daughters come home >> go to a basketball game that pass would cover the four of us. So a household pass
008isn't necessarily the parents and then all the children is >> but the children because technically they're under 18 so they're free anyway. >> Right. Right. Right. I think we really designated as a college student coming home. >> And then the other question I had I noticed it's not on this handout but on previous um things that I've seen um for the free admission also included current and past schoolboard members. >> Yes. And I do have a you you get information. I do have a card for you. >> All righty. >> So, you'll have a card. Our staff members have a card to get in free here and any co-op sports that >> do we need to update this? Change the proposed that >> that didn't that's always been a So, nothing changed. That's already in
009policy. Yep. I'll make that motion. Kirk makes a motion to approve the admin admission fees as presented. >> Second by Nikki. All those in favor? >> Opposed? Motion carries. 5.8 update on the summer maintenance projects. >> So, everything is been completed. Roast, freezer, um stainless steel skin in the kitchen and in the hallway. Um, lights in the student parking lot, poles and lights, LED lights in um the high middle school and high school office and Mrs. Cmansburgger's office and the concession stand is wrapping up. Uh what is left to do is sideway sidewalks are in um some excavating of material material around and get that planted. I'm hoping to have at least it um graded >> graded by uh September 5th. So, um, that is there and we're waiting for the partitions in the bathrooms
010to get here. >> And what is the plan with the old concession stand? >> They will take everything out, go through it. Um, feedback I got is that we remove it. So how we do that that is a work in progress yet it'll fall right over. >> Any other updates on summer projects? >> Um parking lot greenhouse guided signs up right. Thank you FFA alumni. Uh parking lot over there. We have a situation that just developed here yesterday um has a I don't know if you want to call it a wash out hole or a sinkhole or whatever um on the south edge of where that tube the uh storm sewer was broke. Um, so Brad and Terry Wer were looking at it today and looking at how we can at least put a bandaid
011on it until we start that project which we are working on building grounds um by the end of school. We want to start next year which will be a lengthy looking at expanding it looking at a number of different things with with uh building grounds. So >> yeah, certainly when building and grounds gets a final design, we'll be sure to bring it to not only the board but to the public so everybody's on the same page. and we're looking at trying to phase it over two budget cycles. So it'll be project will begin immediately as school commences. We'll use money allocated to this year for that part of the project and then we'll finish the project in after July 1. So we'll have two years of allocation within 3 months. So >> anything else on
012that? >> Um did talk about a hot water heater, the the main one in our building. Um, we are going with maintaining this one. It did not leak. It's a blower motor um for about $1,500 compared to $12,000 for a brand new one. So, um, not leaking, which is that is a significant factor that that needs to be replaced. So um it is a little bit older but that is something that we decided that would be the best route right now. Uh I believe that is that is all. >> Okay. 5.9 discuss some possible action on the monthly dates for joint board meetings. >> So what was discussed at the joint board meeting was that we select the second Wednesday of the month as joint board meeting night and have a routine scheduled meeting that
013night if we ever need to change it. It's just like a board meeting here to where the majority of people could make it. >> I would entertain a motion to approve that. I'll make a motion to approve the second Wednesday of each month for joint board meetings. >> Kirk made the motion. I need a second. Matt Matt seconds. All in favor? >> I motion carries. Um 5.10 discuss sports co-op timeline. >> So just have it on there. This is what was looked at proposed or not even proposed. It was just a draft one copy um a proposal of of a timeline. Um the reason I have it on there is if we have some discussion um we can hopefully we can get out in front of it and not deal with it until not have
014to be pushed up against the deadline. So um I voiced that I I thought it was a good plan. Um, Mr. Stbower has has talked to a couple coaches, not has not talked to all of them, um, that are involved with the transition. Um, but seeing what the board thoughts, thinking something different or or just what are your thoughts? You know, when we first had the first meeting back in the in the in the gym and we tried to vote on it that night, one of the things I had said is coach involvement. And I I do think the coaches are going to to essentially drive this when it when it matters the most for that program. Um, that being said, I was also part of putting together this athletic co- co-op timeline and for
015reasons like Chris alluded to, this is a starting point and we wanted to put tentative on there because this is knowing that those conversations with the coaches need to take place, we also do hear out in the community, you guys don't have a plan. What is your plan? So, let's start putting some type of plan together and work with the coaches. then if the years don't align and that's how I I see this moving forward. Um you know I can tell you the the program I coach that is already co-opted. If we didn't co-op neither school would have a program it's you know we have 16 kids between four grades. That that's just that's the numbers I'm dealing with in that sport. Now, that could be completely different for another sport and that's where it
016needs to come back to the coaches and Justin having the conversation and this is in no way, shape or form ironclad. And we we can't write draft bigger than you know it just but I wanted it to be a starting point. I have a question. At what point? Um, so for example, 25 26 if you look at elementary basketball. So we're looking at what fourth grade, fifth grade, basically fourth and fifth. Okay. >> Sixth grade elementary. So fourth, fifth, and sixth boys and girls basketball that I mean it sounds like it's a long ways away, but it's not. It's in a few months. So, at what point do we make the decision that like is this I'm guessing it's not all-encompassing where it's like, "Yep, the 25 26th ones, we're going to just do them."
017But at what point are we going to bring this back and discuss or or approve like, "Okay, yep. Elementary basketball, yes. Fourth grade, yes. Fifth grade, no." Are we going to do that? Are we going to say fourth grade? Yes. Fifth grade, no. Boys, yes. Girls, no. Or is it going to be a nope, we're doing all elementary basketball? And I mean because really it's like 3 months away, >> right? And I would see that going to the athletic committee first with the coaches involved and the athletic director coming with a recommendation to the athletic committee which we would then bring with the recommendation to the board. >> Okay. >> Well, right, we can ultimately just worry about this board, but yes, it boards would have to approve, >> but their board already approved >>
018all sports. They >> Yes. Yes. >> Two years ago. >> Yeah. >> Two years ago. >> So they they're waiting on us on whatever we want. All right. So So you look at that elementary basketball, you know. So and I know Chief you've talked about, hey, that would be a good starting point, especially like basketball. Get get those together so they start working together. Um I I think if you go fourth, yes. Fifth, no. Sixth, yes. I think that's grading. ripples in it. I think you just do all of them and and and go from there. Fourth is kind of a and you let me know if I'm wrong, but fourth is is not as big as fifth and sixth are your main ones. All right. Fourth is there to practice >> introdu have a
019little bit of some games maybe, but more of an introduction introduction to basketball and and do that. So, >> I would agree. I mean, I think it would be a lot easier to say, "Okay, we're going to do elementary basketball across the board." I'm just, you know, I'm saying that's not far away. So, those are discussions that we're going to have to have. >> So, our conversation is I said, "Get a letter out." I think it now when school starts, you should get a letter out to those if those numbers are short with the elementary boys. I think you should get a letter out saying, "Take it home to your parents. Are you interested?" Or send an email or are you interested in let's have a meeting. Let's talk about it is what I was
020proposing doing. then have the parents meet talk like kind kind of like the basketball or whatever and if there's a big dension we'll then have us do a survey again or whatever do it and then bring it back but get it going now that they're get it going soon school starts get that letter out for basketball who's interested >> I have a question um so and I'm I'm guessing I kind of already know the answer but um is it possible if we let's just say we're like yep we're going to do elementary basketball this year and let's say we have 20 fifth grade boys basketball players between the two schools. Are we able to do like two teams? Is that something that we can kind of create ourselves? Is that even a possibility or, you
021know, where it's like, okay, cuz it's unrealistic to have 20 fifth grade boys on one baseball. This >> I was going to say baseball, we did that with Greenwood. So the only thing that's different with youth sports is um Greenwood is part of the Clover Belvelt um tournament that is run January to February and our youth boys are not part of that. They do the um >> great motors tournament. So that would be something we'd have to align on at the youth voice side. So, >> how does that process work? What does that look like? >> So, that's just our boys program is run by Brandon Descent, the head boys basketball program, where the youth program is run by Carrie um in Greenwood, their youth coordinator. Um, so we would just have to talk between
022the two and get it figured out. >> And is that something that can happen still if it based on >> Yeah, the sign the sign up doesn't come out till November, I think. And then just for clarification, we're I really like the recommendation coming back to the athletic committee, you know, with coaches. We're talking head coach. So the program might not like individual youth coaching. Okay. >> Thank you. >> Yep. And one thing I think once the that grade is co-op, it stays co-op and all of a sudden more kids don't come out or you get kids involved, you split it back out once you stay co-op. Any other comments or questions you'd like to discuss regarding the sports co-op timeline? Again, there is no votes coming up on this anytime soon. It's not all-encompassing.
023We're not going to vote on the entire timeline at once. Um, this is just this is for conversation pieces and to get people involved in those sports to start thinking about this transition. Um I guess I will add so after the joint board meeting uh coach Genton and I had a conversation. It was very good. Uh shared kind of pros and cons. Um but my big takeaway from our meeting is we are meeting with Steve Gestart from Greenwood and Jenny in September just to have those conversations like what does this look like? Is it feasible? and just excited for that conversation because we haven't had that before. >> Okay. All right. 5.11 discussion and possible action on uh RFP request for proposal for the facility study. >> So looking at this, what would you call
024it? Would you call it a >> you call it an RFP? >> All right. That's what that is. >> So looking at the RFP that people don't know, could you explain that? >> Sure. So, so essentially what an RFP is is you're putting out per proposal uh these the an idea you have. And our idea is a facility study. We want to do a facility study of everything we have. Um, generally speaking, when you when you send out an RFP, you keep it pretty generic because the goal of the RFP is to get consultants to want to apply. So, you get 10 consultants that actually send in their their resumes essentially and then you have an interview process and you bring them in and then that's when you can get extremely detailed or you can
025leave it generic at that point. Once you hire the consultant, they are working for the boards. The boards tell them what it is they want to to direct them to do. Um, again, the the RFP was put together by Joel, myself, Chris, and and Jamie. And it's we promised you guys at the last joint meeting that we would be working on it. We'd put one together and we'd let you dissect it the next the next meeting. And that's where we are. Is this the end all be all? Absolutely not. What I would like to say is we have full intentions on having this approved at the joint board meeting in September so we can start the RFP process and get consultants to start applying to actually do the project. Um we do have a timeline
026in there and in a perfect world we'd have a consultant on board early part of October which will line up nicely with the bar numbers coming out in the fall. we will have to utilize those and I believe we put it right in there that they would have to utilize the bar financial numbers. So even if Baird doesn't get hired to do the entire study, we're still going to require them to use the finances that we have available to us. Um that's did I miss anything? That's kind of the overarching. Now we can certainly change the wording, but I would caution I don't think that this is the place where you get super super technical and in depth. I think you leave this generic. Um, and then when you hire that consultant or during that
027interview process, that's when you ask the specific questions. Can you do this? Can you do that? And that's when you make your decision based on those questions. >> Don't that come in like because they're like applying for this, they tell us what they offer us for this amount of money. >> Right. Right. That happens. It's like letting >> Yeah. Exactly. Yep. >> How do you how do you put out a a bid process? I understand it's a building study, but if they don't know that they're going to be giving a recommendation on certain things, is that going to change the price though? If you're asking them to put in, you're you're saying whoever gives us the possibly the lowest price or basic, you know, a lot of things bids are. What is it? Is it
028match up for match? And is it is it going to come in and bring the same thing? And the one the one sentence we did add to the RFP is the results of this study may include scenarios or recommendations for consideration of future structuring of a consolidated district. To me that encompasses the recommendation that you're looking for, but it also doesn't tie the boards to said recommendation and it allows the boards to have the conversation of parts that you like from certain recommendations and parts that you want to change of certain recommendations. The one thing we talked about is having scenarios given to us. Scenario one, building A, B, and C. Scenario two, D, E, F. Well, if I like a certain part of scenario one, but parts of scenario two, we as boards should
029be able to decide together we want to interchange those. So, I guess I would caution a full-on recommendation that is ironclad. And this is where the boards have to make the decisions. I I I do I get I get that you can't just say it's just going to be this but to me like I said when you look at I've heard things from the other board of we can just keep all three schools together and but maybe we don't want to concentrate on that you know maybe you want to concentrate on one or two where's the best cost savings from a school district so you you do want to give scenarios I I guess and that's what I'm saying but how do you give a different price to then all a sudden you come in
030like a bear we did the first financial we came back and said Oh, like, oh, it's going to cost you more money again. So, if you change it, is that going to change the price when you start changing what you're asking for when you're asking them to do a study? >> Yeah. And I think that would be that would be discussed first in the interview process, but then also before the contract is signed and the consultant would have to verify what is in the the price that that we're getting. >> I guess because the things I I don't think any of us are experts at consolidation. So I I really want to get to that point of you would like to have again are we looking at cost savings is that we're going we're looking
031at consolidation because we're looking at getting the best bang for our buck with providing the best education we can you know so it could be different scenarios but I just that's what I want to make sure that we're going to have them look at different scenarios and do it doesn't get so costly on that part of it. Um and then the other question I had was is too we talked about bar. I know bear when I talked to them it was like we just give the numbers just like we did that presentation if you have two schools this based on what the administrators give us for numbers this is what it is. If it's three schools two schools one school this is what it's going to be. But at the end um I I think
032I made it known that I want to make sure that on what I think we should be doing is going to a ballot. Definitely should be going to a ballot vote. The taxpayer should know based on the scenario that if we pick it one, two, three, whatever it is, what is the dollar amount that we're still going to need to operate what they're doing because that we all know is a negative when you consolidate. Possibly one town could lose a certain school or whatever. And that could also affect them voting positively for referendums or negative towards referendums. So, I think the financial part of that, like I said, when it gets the ballot, we need to get the ballot when it does. So I want to make sure this may be going to be able
033to give that dollar amount based on what we come up with conclusion of one two three schools what is the financial what's the referendum >> and I think that would be the conversation with the consultant that who gets hired is just to make sure that we can get that number um I I can without jumping ahead the upcoming um joint board meeting we did have a really good discussion with with both uh Joe and Jamie and at the joint board meeting we are going to discuss us uh the question for a referendum. Um it'll be November of 2026. Um and honestly, I I based on the conversation, I think they're actually in support of putting it on the ballot. So, you know, letting without allowing you all with a big surprise, um there will be
034a conversation at the joint board meeting about it. And between my conversation and Chris's conversation, they appear to be somewhat in support of putting it on ballot. So ultimately, I think bullet boards would have to pass that. >> Are you talking operating? >> No. No. This would be there's a question and this is where the conversation. What is the wording of the question and that's where we'll discuss. But it would be sim the question would be something along the lines of are you in favor of consolidating the loyal and greenwood school districts based on the information presented in November of 2026. So again that please don't write that in the paper that's not the that is not the question but it's going to be something like that. So we have we we've heard it. We're
035going to have the conversation at the joint meeting and I believe the study will be done plenty before this. So we will know scenarios. we will have some at least a good idea of what the the funding will look like and I think people will have enough information at that point to make an educated decision. >> Dar, can you speak a little bit about the um like so it says on the timeline for RFPs proposals due October 31st and then finalist interviews and presentations. What does that look like? Who are they interviewing to? Um who are they presenting to? Um, yeah. >> So, what I would anticipate happening would be a couple members from each school board along with the administration would lock themselves in a room for a day and have consultants throughout the
036day. Whether you get five consultants or three or you could decide, hey, we're going to pick four, whatever. They come in and then they interview for the process and that committee along with the administration would then pick their recommended consultant. >> Are you going to be Did you say just them or are you going to be in there? >> Oh, no. So I think anybody we can a couple you know if if you want to be on and if you want to be on the committee if you want to be on the committee why not I I just it doesn't have to be the board presidents so >> and I would think it would be a committee created from both boards >> right >> y right >> because if you decided everybody from the board
037wanted to be there then you just have to have a meeting >> last thing I guess Mr. letter. I'm just going to ask. So, when you guys did this RFP, did you Mr. Green and Eric and the president's came up and talked about this? I see on the website now when you did it when when you when you said it was on there, I went and looked at Mr. Green, his email is in blue, so it's like they can respond and send it to him, but yours is not in blue, so they won't be able Are you planning on? >> It's going to come to both of you, so you can change it on the website. So, you're getting the quotes to your from it. I want to make sure that um That's basically that's
038how I want to make sure that you're getting along with Mr. >> Uh any more discussion on uh the RFP? We don't >> I want to commend you and Mr. Linder and and Mr. Green and um Jamie Gardner, you know, for taking the time to to go through this. I think it's very thorough as far as as just the initial look on what what we're looking at. And um I think that, you know, firms that are interested in putting together proposals know that, you know, this is kind of what we're looking at, but I'm sure in the interview process it'll, you know, more specific questions like you said. So, I want to commend you for doing that and getting that to us by this meeting and and then so that we have that for the
039next meeting as well. >> Thank you. >> Do we need to take an action on it? I mean, >> no, we decided that we we'll wait until the the joint meeting and we'll vote on the RFP that night. >> Yep. >> 5.12 discuss the upcoming joint board meeting with Greenwood. So we talked about the RFP that we will discuss and and hopefully approve. Um we also talked about in that in our meeting um ad hoc ad hoc committees. Uh I think the biggest one that we really focused on was the branding uh name of district mascot colors things like that that need to be established. Um we also talked about having um we talked back in the joint that we have a curriculum or something like that or teched or a business type. So we
040focus on having maybe some teachers from both talk about curriculum what what can look good with our with our principles and guidance or our counselors. um what what do we want to do to match things up? What is being taught? Uh and just to align some things. Uh we also talked about possibly having a public forum with inviting businesses um and sitting down and saying, "Hey, what do you want from us as students come rolling out and more and more are going directly into the job force workforce? What do you want from schools? How can we work together?" You could also talk about um apprenticeships, school of work. How can we relate? How can we work together on that? Um we reached out to Sheila Nyberg uh from Clark County Economic Development. Um she has
041been with us. We've met maybe two or three different times on some different things like this. Um so she will bless you. they will she will help us assist us on getting something out to addresses of companies and things like that. So, anything else you need to add? I don't know if there's anything other than that that you want on the agenda, but that's what I wanted to at least discuss or tell you that where where we're at for the agenda for thus far. Look at September 10th, I do believe, is what we have. 6:30. >> Oh, yeah. We have tours. Remember, we're going to be touring. Loyal will be open for the public and the school boards to tour. >> Uh we'll be in Loyal this time and then next meeting will be in
042Greenwood for the same same thing. >> So, the tour starts 6:30. >> 6:30. Yep. And the meeting itself is at 7:30. >> And that's open to all. >> Correct. Yep. >> Both communities. >> So that agenda will be out um next week. >> Our agendas will match. They will be identical other than the letterhead. >> I guess the other the other thing I guess I wanted to ask I guess you had talked you to last month you had talked to Grant. I guess is there any further discussions with Grant and going on anything like that >> as I mean with their classrooms, high school numbers? I mean, are they looking at wanting to get into anything? Has there been any discussion, anything like that? >> No, we did talk about music. We've talked about some
043specific things. We did not talk um about having them come here or whatever or >> they show interested. >> Um I I last time I I just emailed Mrs. Pot and just said our music is person is full schedule. um they were really looking at an elementary music person. Um so as of right now that is not feasible. So it will continue to work. >> Guess that's all I mean as long as we keep keep the discussion. It's been mentioned before as long as we keep grant you know hey I mean are where are you looking? Are you looking for anything? Is there any way we can work together? You know, I just want to make sure the door is open there that they understand that. Okay. >> I think it's like you did already
044said, Derek, but just um for coming towards agreement to talk about the ballot question for 2026. I want that on the agenda. >> Yep. And it is >> okay. >> Question request for proposal public forum and that's it. Yep. to specify the committees that we're going to decide that night. >> Uh we we have the three that we talked about tonight and then I guess if there's any additional ones we can sort of that night. Do you plan on putting people on them? >> Probably not because I think we're going to roll them out through public forum. So I don't know if we'll have enough people that signed up by that point. So we'll have to we'll have to see how that goes. >> Okay. Anything else? No. >> All right. Other business, principal reports.
045>> Well, school starts next week, so we are pretty happy to say we are fully staffed um all across the board. And tonight we have um Miss Brooke Label, who is our uh middle school social studies teacher here. Um so, you want to say hi and do a little intro? Um hi. It's nice to put um like faces with my name that I've been seeing because lots of names that I'm learning. So um I'm excited for this school year. Just got my classroom set up upstairs. So if I have any of your um kids in middle school, be excited to see more. Plus just in general being >> Are you a Packer fan? >> I don't watch football, but I say I'm a Packer fan. So yes, we're good. We're good. Thank thank you for
046sustaining through >> everything. >> Um so with uh the anticipation of school starting, we had registration days on August 6th and 7th. Um we had a few trainings with PBIS in in July 31st with our middle school, high school, and our elementary staff. We're excited to roll that out um tomorrow to everyone. We have also um had our math expressions and math envisions training, which is our K through 8 math update. Um staff had a three-hour training each and are ready to rock. We have all the new books and all the new um hands-on manipulatives that kids get to use. So, we're ready to go for them. Um Monday, we have our open house for the elementary from 10 to 6. parents are coming in and getting to meet with their child's teacher and go
047through all the fun and excitement of what the start of the year becomes. Um, Monday night we had our sixth grade orientation. All the sixth grade parents were able to come in, see and meet the teachers, kind of go through um the expectations, how their schedule works. And something new this year, we had five members of student council come and actually provide tours for the families and their students um around the building. So that was nice. So a shout out to Miss Zary for getting that organized. It was it was great to have kids show kids the kind of fun little parts of the building. So um next week, Monday will be the first day of classes for all middle school and high school students. Um, so hope everybody's ready, well rested after Cornfest weekend.
048Um, >> ready or not, here it comes. >> Yeah, here it comes. Uh, we will have picture day for elementary on Monday and on Tuesday will be for middle school and high school students as well. Um, we have few groups that are presenting or walking through the loyal cornfest. We have band, the flags, the royalty. Uh, we have youth programs like typically our youth cheerleading and football. um football, high school will be walking through their program, volleyball will be walking through and we have lots of volunteers helping at the Legion stand as well. Do you want to >> Sure. Uh middle school and high school sports have started and some of them are in action. Um high school football plays Abbottzford on Friday night and then both cross country and volleyball start with their competitions
049next week. So tomorrow wraps up our last day of inservice which has been filled with trainings and in preparation of students to be here and teachers are getting their classrooms pulled together. So we'll wrap up the week with a staff picnic tomorrow. So >> report um registration went well. Uh like they said, first week of teachers back here Monday through tomorrow. Um in service all week uh has been a good but very busy week. Uh today we were over this morning we were over in Greenwood. Our staff uh joined them. We had breakfast. We had CISA 10 come in talk about safety MSDS um bloodborne pathogens things like that all together. Uh and then our teaching staff stayed and we had C support come over and they presented uh what they call liftoffs and it
050is kind of how can we teach students differently because they're not the same as what we were when we were they are very should say bored but they are bored they're not not engaged I guess we would say a lot of them so how can we change that and adapt our learning style to them so that they are engaged. Um it's not to sit and get like we had for many many years. Um so they talked about that um using AI as a resource um and just getting on board with moving forward and and and changing some things up. So very I thought it was very good. I think we have some staff members that are very interested and really want to get into it and we I think we have some that are maybe
051hesitant and just which is good which is fine I should say. Um and that's something that we'll work with and they will come back um and they will continue working with us. uh what they are working on. They have 16 districts in central Wisconsin that they're working with um dealing with this. So it's just kind of giving them a different students a different perspective of learning. So thought it was very good. Uh we'll talk we already talked about the elementary parking lot. Um childc care update update uh the little pups little dogs uh update on the program room is is getting close being done. Uh we have 10 3kers as of right now. Um and plus two that will be starting in January. Um so uh then for the week um they have been uh
052Sam has been doing a very good job of getting things organized. Uh they do done a nice job of getting some donations of some materials and and some different things, some money donations that um have come in. and I thank the people that are are doing that.
