Uh >> so the the 3K or I'm sorry, the director

We'd either have to have a special meeting on whatever happens to we'll have to have a special meeting to approve or it would be approved at the August meeting. >> Yeah, we will not go to close tonight and come back into [Music] correctly agenda correctly. >> Okay, so the motion to to table pass. So that item is tabled. >> Um 5.6 discuss the

010possible action of the employee handbook. Okay. So, I told you earlier month or two ago that um our lawyer did update it. He updated. We do have a split. We have a professional and a supporting staff. He updated one that we used to have. So, now we are working on converting uh converting that is splitting it into those two books for this coming year. Um, Eva, did you get that out on board docs? The the single one >> I didn't have the electronic single out there. >> We'll get it so you can see what's what we're working on. All righty. >> so I would say a lot of changes a lot of legal >> by the time I got I had not had time in it's a big project. >> So, in other words, we

011should take those till next month. >> Yeah. >> Yes. or just not take any action. >> We'll just we'll make that an agenda topic for the next month. >> So, in this employee handbook, is that it's not in the student handbook? >> No, that's one separate. >> This is Yes. >> Okay. So, we've talked about the main things that we recruit and retain came through salary and and that that was the main things that we wanted. He came and said he just wanted to clean it up the language. um to make sure it's I would say more better sounding better. >> It's actually written a lot better when he was done, but he changed changed the wording of a lot of stuff in there. So, it's >> there's a lot of revisions. >> Okay, we

012will make no action on that tonight. 5.7 discuss some possible action on the updated policy PO5771 search and seizure policy and the daycare policy. Okay. Search and seizure uh policy committee recommends we have one uh is it on there? >> It's not on this update. It's on this one right >> once the cleaning changes on it. >> We changed it one day. Um so there's uh here's the wording that is that we looked at changing um search and seizure. Search of a student's person or intimate personal belongings shall be conducted by a person of the students same gender in the presence of an administrator and in a manner that is minimally intrusive to the student based on the responsible suspicion justifying the search. What we want to add is students same gender and then um

013as an administrator. So you would have let's say it's a female that would be if let's say Miss Colemanburgger is unavailable it would be a secretary and an administrator. So and vice versa with a male. So >> all right. >> So look at look at policies but same gender I look at is it what if it's of a timing issue and you don't have somebody could you put and I don't attorney anything same gender if possible or or try to is what I would do because you don't want to limit yourself to female and you're the only administrator here. you've had that in the school where you've only had one administrator that day and it might not be the same gender but >> then you just use like a secretary or or or a teacher

014administrator instead I just want to make sure you weren't hand >> so just to clarify this policy so you have to have at least one administrator >> one administrator >> there any time that there is there any time where all three of you are gone No, there's administrator on staff, right? >> It did not happen. >> There had not this year. Has it happened in the past? Yes. >> Okay. >> But not this year. >> Again, since you put an administrator or his design or something like that, if you're gone and you appoint somebody, you would have that in the orate. >> Well, if all three of you would be gone, who would be next in charge? >> That would be up to him or to designate that date. Usually we put someone that >>

015so as as or designate if administrator not available >> just put >> administrator his or her >> design administration. Do you want to approve that separate from the daycare policy or do you want to approve? >> Uh, keep it separate. >> I'll make a motion to make the changes to the policy you just discussed. >> Kirk made a motion to approve the policy as updated for search and seizure. >> I'll second. >> Tom second. All those in favor. >> Motion carries. >> Daycare policy. >> Okay. So, um Todd Anthony did find one from Niola. Um and the policy committee went through it. Um >> is this on board, Docs? >> They're both on board. Okay. >> So, it had just like everything else with the policy, uh you had a lot of different things you

016can choose. Um if you look through it, the policy committee we decided on what should be next and what should happen in this 3K child care program. >> I did send this to Todd um didn't get back to me but >> it'll be fine. >> This is what the policy committee draft >> so there is a there is a sample >> that was not identical but it it it had all the Yeah, we went through a sample and that shows what we thought was appropriate for what we're offering. >> All right. >> Questions on the daycare policy? >> No. >> I move to approve. >> Nikki moves to approve policy. >> I'll second. >> Kirkens. All those in favor of the daycare policy? >> I motion carries. discuss the possible action of the summer maintenance

017projects. >> Okay. Uh I'll just go down the list here. Uh Mau roofing um started this week on the middle school roof. I believe they're making good progress. Uh they got rained on today. Um Joe's Refrigeration has installed the new freezer in the kitchen. And uh one thing that did was not included with that was the um electrical and lights. So we had quality control or quality electric come in and install that. They are finishing that up. >> That'll come out food service contract budget. >> Qualities. Yeah. >> Qualities. Well, yes. >> We will have um we may have to pull a little bit out from fund on a new freezer already. So in finance Julie's did say that we are getting 30,000 back there was a something that was missed and we will get

018recouped on that for the last two years. So that'll be about 30,000. So we're going to look at where that we don't want to drain the food service account or fund. So we'll make sure that it is healthy and that this is all paid for. We might be a little combination of content in there. Okay. Uh, Zoalena Masonry has completed the tuck pointing and ceiling coat for this year, this summer. Um, they also came around and all the stairwell railings that are attached into the brick wall or block walls. They went through and inspected them. There was a number of them that needed to be fixed. So they did that all the way through the building. So um Brad wash all the oils AC AC units um around the ground level ground level and then

019quality control will um complete control I'm sorry will come in and do the ones that are on this roof or hide. Okay, custodians are finishing up the classrooms right now. Uh, cleaning, waxing. Uh, Gary and Gerald are down on the lower elementary is stripped and waxed. They are working on the upper elementary hallway. Lower elementary hallway and upper elementary will be stripped and waxed. They hope to have that done this week. So then they will start on here. They are if they they want to get that done and they want to strip the part that was stripped last year yet and then that's what they want to get to for stripping and waxing and then they will just whack rewax what hasn't done and they'll work on that in Christmas break. Um cafeteria lights have

020been changed to LED changed over. Uh the middle school high school office and Mrs. Colemanburgger's office lights have been converted to LEDs. Stainless steel skinning uh that is on the inside of the kitchen where the washer runs here and they have along the where along the wall where it gets just beat up from carts and things like that. We are putting some skinning up, some stainless steel there to prevent the wall getting all beat up. So, that is in the process of being installed this week. Uh, the kitchen appliances have all been gone through and are in good working order. Shelving is being put up in the 4K room. Uh, why we are doing that is the shelving was was repurposed from the library into there and they're they're only half walls. So you have

021a lot of wall space not being occupied. So we the janitors are or the custodians are putting in um shelving from all the way up. So it is going to be a little more efficient for our 4K teacher and staff. Um, we'll go over this first. Light poles uh out by the student parking lot that were light pole poles for the parking lot and uh the tennis courts when they were out there. Uh, one is not in real good shape. So, we are looking to replace them with quality electric. Um I believe that is like 40 just above $4,500 just over $4,500 $4,700 to replace that and to put lights on those. Uh Excel Energy, we go down to Helm Road, which is the little road when you go down off Central and it turns.

022That's Helm right there. There is a light pole right on that corner that is anchored, but it's a very, very short anchor and it is leaning to the east. So, Excel Energy said they would move that pole and then put lights, a street light, which it already has, and then a parking lot light. Then, I do believe they said they would put another street light, parking lot light on another pole to the east. So, they want to move that pole so they can anchor it better. Um, and I believe that was for $1,500 >> or not. >> Oh, no. That turned out to be more. >> That was turned out to be way more. And from what we understood in building and grounds during the meeting, the city pays for that electricity. >> Yeah. >>

023Okay. >> So, you need, if you had a chance to talk to the city, No. >> Right. And that was our recommendation for building a grounds. If we if we moved forward on that, we would definitely have a discussion with the city because it would be their lights that the lights going into the street would be the city's expense. >> The lights, parking lot lights would obviously be ours, but >> Okay. All right. >> And the big and what was originally proposed came in a lot higher than what? Uh, >> No, it was much more now. Original was lower. >> Correct. All right. Okay. Uh concession stand. Uh Brad is working with Zimco. Uh Monday or Tuesday he said today they will be in. Um I believe the piping is at Sudas right now. Um

024they are looking at getting that done at that time. I know the building and grounds looked at uh walkway sidewalk and and a walkway into uh for concrete. I talked to him this afternoon. I did not he did not get a estimate back yet from Rockovic or Brown. So I know they were he's he was calling him today and asking for that. So anything else on that? We do have a um estimate or a bing on on bid on on cabinets um from Zelena Ted Zelena uh I do believe it was $8,300 $8350. So, I know I think there was a question of do we go with did did we check with Menard's um I did talk to Ted probably not about this but prior to this um maybe even last year and I think

025we should kind of utilize him for our cabinets just because they last um and they are of great quality. um even in a concession stand. I think that is going to be they'll be very similar to what the ones are in the inside concession stand. Um I know dealing with other cabinets um even talking with Brad just cabinets from there just do not seem like they last. >> My question to you was what is the turnaround on those cabinets? >> Um you would have them done what are we at here? >> 23rd of July. mid August if not early August anything that happens with them uh he will come in and basically you know fix them and and take care of it for us. I think uh the big takeaway from our building and grounds

026committee meeting was this concession stand needs to be finished >> you know not by October by by the first home football game >> which is when we know >> give it to you guys are you open on the road or do you are you >> on the road >> at >> is noville was in Greenwood. Greenwood was in Greenwood. So, we got till approximately September. >> Uh building and grounds. We did as a committee recommend going with a 5,000galon holding tank versus a 2,000galon holding tank. Higher cost, but you will get that return on less pumps. Um and we did have a we had a site visit with Suda and we know where that's going to be installed. He has not installed it yet because we're waiting for the water line to go in first.

027We need to talk about handicap parking. >> So my opinion would be to can we talk to the city and put it on the street? >> That would be my recommendation for right now. So, >> and then that 85 ft of sidewalk from the street would get the handicap to the 12t sidewalks which would get them into the stadium which is what we're waiting for. >> That might be 6 foot and up to 15 ft. Just talking 6 foot 6T in case you ever add another 6 ft or 12 ft. Sure. for later on. >> Yeah. It was approved as before. So I would say the concession stat is all all a part of it. The the cabinets and all of this is part of that approval. Good. Okay. Uh that that's what we have

028for >> summer projects. Um roof should be done by I think they're three weeks I thought they said. So, uh, gym floor will be both gym floors will be >> next week. They will be in and taking care of those. So, >> okay, that's what I have for that. >> Perfect. >> 5.9 discuss upcoming joint board meeting with Greenwood on Sunday, August 3rd. So, I did hand out to you um the attentive agenda um that Derek and I went over and met with Jamie and Joe today and it goes off of what we talked about at the joint meeting. Um the things that we put on there. So if you want to take a look at it and I think we had a good meeting. >> Yeah. >> Today >> I think you kind of

029give us a report from that meeting. You kind of discussed it a little bit what you're kind of talking about timeline stuff like that on there. Is that possible about today's meeting? >> Is it today's meeting? Yeah. We just went through the agenda to make sure everything we were good with it and so we can we talk about uh Lex Casco um 10 of us five from Loyal five from Greenwood took a tour. We had a teched teacher there, administration board members uh went through their uh school of work apprenticeship programs um were were very good. Uh it was neat to see. Um, I think it planted some seeds that maybe we can't do something to that extent, but we could definitely look in and and do something and and get partnerships with our with

030our businesses, area businesses. Um, I thought it was a good a good tour. uh live streaming talked a little bit about having that done. Um and this will be all decided at this meeting but post whenever we have a joint meeting that will be done. Um you can discuss on how long you want that kept on. All right. At the next meeting we talked a bit about one month when the next meeting is on then it that replaces that. So >> that'll be up to you >> just for just so everyone knows. So, this the meeting that we're having in Greenwood um on the 3rd will be live streamed on our YouTube page, right? >> Not on our YouTube page. >> Not says right on here. >> Record on Loyal's YouTube channel. >> So, I

031did talk to Travis later today or you you're right here. >> I am. >> Um so, you talked to Joe a little bit after that. You said if you could get it to work, >> if I can get our stuff set up and running, it will be on our YouTube page by the Sunday. >> But that was when I thought it was this. >> He thought it was this Sunday, so it shouldn't be a problem. >> Okay. So, yes, it will be on our YouTube >> and recorded. So, we can watch it. >> Yeah. >> And we did, like Chris said, the discussion was how long do we keep these recordings online? And and we did kind of go around 30 days. when the next meeting happens, we we've moved on from that topic. Let's

032let's talk about what current. So, okay, timeline was just, you know, uh [Music] that ain't going to work now. Really what it was is let's let's start right now and and we put preliminary on the agenda because that's what this is and it's if you start from today what gets us to 2028 and this is essentially what I would consider the first step to the plan everyone asks what is the plan with this let's actually put on paper what it could conceivably look like it would include if you did decide to do a facility study what is what's the timeline on that when do you start If we were to go back to referendum, when would that be? What would that look like? If we did the resolutions, when would that be? So, I think

033Joe is in the process of hopefully by by Sunday the 3rd, he's going to have some of that on paper for all of us to look at for discussion. That's what we hit on today. kind of laying out for the next year and a half and then may include a you know a vote election vote and and and doing a process with that. So and that can be all discussion there. um ad hoc committees and we talked about uh not having 10 12 of them but you know three four five would be and then what >> what's some of those >> subjects would it would take yeah >> should we have a mission statement for combining these two schools >> and I think that would be something perfect for an ad hoc committee and I

034I think the boards could really get bogged down with a lot of things we have to consider in the next year and a half. And you know, one of the things we talked about today is is branding, which would include your mascot and your colors and maybe focusing that to a committee and >> a committee or do like we did with the strategic plan for the school. Put it up that way and then the people would come together, >> right? I think what you you would start with a a committee first and then you would present it to the public through that avenue. Um but yeah, similar again what the goal was today is take some of the the pressure or some of the expectations off of the board and get more community involvement. And

035that's what one of the things we talked about today is even business leaders. You know, back to the Luxembourg example, what do local businesses need to see for employment? what what can we as a school do to help those and maybe those businesses get on board with the committee and help drive that? So, >> and just to kind of go off of just piggyback off of that as far as community input um you know there are sometimes when we have meetings um joint meetings or even even just our meetings that there's a room full of people and then other times there's not and I just really want to encourage the community if you have concerns or ideas or questions like come and talk to us or come to the meetings and listen because over the

036next the course of the next several years we're going to be discussing and making decisions and it like as a new board member I really want this to if possible to be communitydriven because if this does go back to referendum we really need the support of the community and it's hard to um it's hard to do that without like ideas or input along the way. I don't want it to get to a ballot and then it flops because people are like, "Well, we we didn't have any input." Like, so I encourage people to come and like share at the joint board meetings with with us what their ideas are or at least hear what we're talking about. Um, just so we can have some of that community input as we go forward because, you know,

037we've been saying this whole time that none of us have done this before and this is all new to all of us. So, um I would just encourage people to to like ask questions and come to these meetings and listen to what we're talking about. >> Uh talk a little bit about facility site uh comparing apples to apples um and maybe start that process RFPs and interview some some different businesses and things like that. So be a discussion and then we also talk a little bit about um potential timelines for co-ops. Um everything that we bring out Sunday, our preliminaries, our draft ones are not sold or or set in stone. Um and I think we need to understand that and >> work off of it. >> And work off of it. Yes. But >>

038the only thing we were going to decide from the last month is admission fees. for the athletic game, right? Yep. >> So, and we compared what where we're at right now. So, you'll have that um >> Yep. Yep. and what what he and I talked about what we talked about today. So, and then we'll have public forum anyone that has questions or ideas or what their thoughts are. Okay. The one thing we did talk about with the set next meeting is similar to our school board how we we try to make it the fourth Wednesday of every month. Try to maybe first Wednesday of every month or just get it so we know it's going to be somewhat normal normalized for our schedules. You know, I know it's not going to work every time, but

039it it'd be good to do something like that. So, and then start even start thinking about agenda items for the third that would go on to the next meeting in September. Any more on that? All right. Other business principles reports. All right. So districtwide since the conclusion of the school year, we have been working very hard on revamping our student and parent handbook. Um the big reason for this is with our new NEOA policies. We just want to make sure that every bit of information in there is accurate and consistent. And along with that, we kind of did some formatting changes to make it a little more user friendly to find that information within the handbook. Um, we've also been working on the uh staff in service that's going to be happening here in August

040and coordinating a lot of trainings and making plans for the next school year. Um, making sure we're working together, focusing towards the strategic plan and HRS and working with our MOI so it's all combined together and flowing well. Um, so we've been doing a lot of front loading so things go a lot smoother for the school year. So, um, Chris kind of highlighted this, but classrooms, the building's getting clean, the floors are getting waxed. Next week, the gym floors are going to be, um, refinished and waxed. So, um, that'll be nice and fresh. And then we just concluded little learners daycare director interviews uh, yes or today. Um, so we're excited to move forward with that. Elementary staff should be completing their Keys of Literacy summer curriculum hours as well as our special ed staff

041and our ELA staff. So, that was an extra 20 hours they had to put in this summer uh to be in compliance with Act 20. Um we only needed it grades um kindergarten through third, but we really felt we wanted a cohesive plan. So, we went all across the board because we have some high schoolers that really struggle with reading and we want to make sure we have some interventions in place to make sure that they're getting the support that they need. Um, youth summer cell phone baseball will conclude as of tomorrow. So, um, they have a couple weeks off if they're in football for that to start and, uh, for volleyball for some middle school kids. Um, at the middle school and high school level, we had FCCLA and FBLA have their national competitions

042and they did really well and were very successful. Um, so congratulations to them. Our senior graduate, Parker Smith, was out in Washington DC to represent as an FFA state officer. Um, sounded like he saw some pretty amazing things and got to talk to some pretty cool people. Um, our school trap team um went to nationals. I'm not sure if you noticed or heard, but they only missed a total of 24 birds and we came very close to being the top 80 in national competition with only four shooters. So, that was really awesome. Uh, congrats to Braxton Calf. He did really awesome for >> 99 of 100. So, >> little shout out there. Um, and then next week we're concluding our MAC and summer workout training. Um, we've had a lot of kids in the morning.

043It's really hard to stay u focused and goal orientated, especially after Fourth of July week, but the kids are still working hard. Um, and we have a lot of kids coming in. So, it's been a great summer. um kind of dates coming up. We have our PBIS refresher training for our elementary, middle, middle, and high school staff here July 31st. Um it's all about positive behaviors and really working as a team to promote and encourage those things happening in the building. >> So CISA 10 is coming in as well at that date to kind of lead that training. And then Lady Smith is also sending an elementary and a middle school high school team here. And then Greenwood is also sending a team here. So, we're kind of a central location for this PBIS refresher

044training. >> Um, and Chris kind of talked about this too, curriculum wise. Um, we updated math expressions and our middle school went to math envisions.
