Thank you so much uh for these meetings and letting us share these experiences with you, especially from inside of our community. outside. So, this is just a really, you know, this has been a really great thing and I we just wanted to say thank you for having us here. Well, thank you for putting this on making these presentations. Yep, absolutely. And then one more, thank you for a great year. And does anyone have questions? Actually, um Oh, yeah. So, may I'm pretty sure you guys know Connect won't be happening next year. Yeah. Um but me and Eevee are both in student council and all of these things will be passed on to

009student council and we have talked to um Miss uh Bison about it and she has been telling us we told her that we know how to do this so maybe we'll be able to keep doing this next year but as student council that's great. Yeah. Yeah. Well, thank you all for coming. I mean this is actually a benefit to us that we know more about what's going on in the schools and hear from students directly and that's really important. So, thank you. Of course. Thank you. Have a great summer. You guys, we have your treats here for you. But I'm not letting them have them before. You don't need us to get much more excited. Board wants to eat. It's true. It would be really bad. Yeah. Thank you. Of course. Thank you for your

010leadership. Yes. Thank you. You guys have a lovely day. You too. You too. Have a wonderful summer. You, too. Good luck. You're so polite. All right. Well, it's going to be hard to follow that, Mr. Turner. But now it's your turn. The district administrator's report. Nothing's going on. So, yeah. Next. Um, yes. So, lots of great things to share. I think what I'll do just to switch it up. I'm feeling like, you know, doing something a little different is share the pictures first. Yeah, that's nice. You like that? All right. So, um have some photos from around here to share with you. Can see uh some field trip out to the Eldo Leopold Center. Um, we try to take advantage of the short little time that we have great weather because of the agrarian calendar

011that drives our schools. And so, uh, this is a time where they get to go out and and get to go on a fun field trip together and explore nature together. Such a great resource so close to us. Yes. Here you have some a little bit of uh artists doing some, you know, art materials doing some work together. I think our art program continues to just impress and and MPS is no exception. Great things there if you ever get a chance to see it in person. And they do such a really nice job displaying all the student artwork throughout the school as well. Continuing on the theme, take a brat to work day. a great tradition across the district. This happens to be at MPS. Um I know that they also do that here at

012the high school as well. So great great tradition having fun with that. Their baseball mits there that they made. So a little more creativity among our students. Well, they're sliding mitts. Yeah, they actually do use those. Yeah. So they just like for sliding. Oh, okay. So you don't catch your finger. Scratch of your hand or whatever. Well, catch a finger. Shows you how much I know about sliding or also probably, right? Right. I'm so fast I never needed to slide, but some people do. Necessary. You did demonstrate that in the in the race with MPS. I did. I did. In an inflatable costume, no less. I did. Apparently, I was the only one that was taking it seriously. Um anyway, uh all right. So, uh here we are at Wabisa again with the little sharing

013some of our our work. So, they wrote some articles there and in the fifth grade at Wabisa. So, kind of a neat a neat thing. I love it when they have those authors workshops. So, very exciting to do there. So, thank you writers. And then we had an author visit. A lot of work goes into coordinating those author visits, but what a profound impact that has. And kids see themselves like, "Oh, I could be a writer. I could publish a book." And so we had a children's author come and present. You see that is the entire sixth grade class right there in the collaboration space. uh listening to a couple stories from a an author. The staff versus student basketball game. Eighth grade students versus the staff. And once again, the staff win. [Music] Yes,

014there are. We definitely have And I definitely think you have a height advantage. A height advantage. That's what I was just going to say. significantly. When you can see that Caleb and Officer Zitzma don't look all that tall, you know you have a height advantage because they are That's true. Giants. Um here we have the the employee uh student employee excellence award. Uh Sarai uh won that at the at the last celebration. So, just a great tradition that's been added this year and to to celebrate her work with LSM Chiropractic. So, way to honor that. Gave that at lunch in front of everyone. Of course, we recognized this just a moment ago. So, congratulations to them. Quite a big honor. Here we have the m musician studio um performed at Grace Coffee. Grace has been

015a really good partner with some of our our music uh program. This being a great example. So it's a projectbased music class. So they, you know, create u music and we're having a chance to to share that. That young man is Oh yeah, he is. Yeah, definitely. And here we have the senior interviews. So, thank you to those of you that did participate um in them. Really appreciate that. I think it's a really valuable thing for our our community and we learned so much from those those interviews and use that information. So, just really it's a great tradition, but but more importantly, it makes us better. It's really mandatory. Yeah, they are mandatory. They get to do them. Yes, they do. I like the glows and grows. It's kind of a cute little I know.

016I loved hearing the um Well, there was all of the folks that I interviewed with were really thoughtful. Like it was it really shows what adults they're becoming. Um and then some of their staff shout outs because that's like a bonus question. Yeah. Were so sweet. I was actually really impressed with their transparency. Some of the stuff they said, I was like, "How old are you?" They have always to be that way. Yes. Depending upon who you get, that could be quite Yeah. They don't hold back. No. No. No. But they do it in a classy way. I mean, yeah. Yeah. I mean, there was nothing. No. I was really impressed. I think they see it as an opportunity, right? It's not like, "Oh, I got to check this box, right?" And you'd think there

017could be some of that, but there isn't. Plus, there were snacks. There were snacks. Oh gosh. A long time. I'd say like 20 years. Yeah, I think as long as we've been here. Yeah. Yeah. I think they were optional for a few years, like around COVIDish times, right? They taken various forms and I don't know if you have a slide on this about the resume reviews that they did, too. I don't. Yeah. So, they did resume reviews at the same time. people to bring their resumes and have them gone through. That was really cool. Some of their resumes blew me away. Like I looked at them like, can you email me so I can use it for format? Yeah. The rare ones. Yeah. Yeah. Those are Yeah, those great addition. All right. In the transition

018program doing a a little dance lesson with with Miss Shamer getting to some dance tips there. So, that was fun. There is actually another photo that's not included here, but that I think that's to to save face. Um, the top scholars program. So, the Badger uh conference has this sort of the top 10 if you will at uh Wanke hosts that just a wonderful event that's actually been quite a while. How long was that a month ago? True. Yeah. And then afterwards there's a lot of sugar. Yeah, there was a lot of sugar. Yeah, it was good stuff. Yeah, it was on a Sunday, right? A few month time to work off the sugar. Yeah, it was very nice. Wonderful event. Congratulations to them. And then of course you saw honoring 50 plus years of

019coaching uh for John Felner. Quite a legacy and some great some great pictures and a great honor. He was very humbled. I think John started here or it would have been. Oh wow. Wow. That's amazing. Yeah, that would make sense. I think that's that for that. Um, other recognitions, I wanted to thank the McFarland Education Foundation for scholarship night. I think 76 scholarships, over $70,000 uh given to our our seniors and a wonderfully organized event. So, thank you to them. They do a really great job. They do keeping that under control. Yeah, that was a great a great event and they made some some changes this year that I think made it a much more engaging event and able to connect. The big thing is they wanted to have an opportunity to connect donors with

020recipients afterwards. Yeah, that was a really great idea. Yeah, very thoughtful. Good people volunteering their time, right? Um, thanks to the music department, you know, this is concert season, so you have orchestra and band at various levels. um happening and just really impressive and um you know it's always fun for me to see the growth in the students over the course of the year. You have the fall conference uh concerts compared to the the spring concerts. So they're especially in sixth grade very different sixth grade band concert. Um so thanks for that. Uh wanted to give a shout out for the Wabisa Olympiad was held on Friday. It's a huge event, huge event and very exciting and and just a great way to culminate the year. So, thanks for that and all the volunteers. And

021of course, congratulations as we mentioned to all of our spring athletic teams for their competition, many of which are continuing to go on. Couple of updates I wanted to share. One% increase over the last two years in health office visits. The other thing too to note is they do a lot of other things. So there's vision and hearing screenings, medication administration. Um the dental visits we we work with another third party bridging brighter smiles. It comes in and does cleanings. Um there were 20 of those by the way. Um trainings, communicable diseases. Our largest this year was influenza um A and B and strep throat. those were our largest communicable diseases. So, just wanted to to thank them for their their work. It's obviously done behind the scenes and in private for obvious reasons, but

022to think that over 21,000 times someone came in and asked for assistance, that's amazing. Wow. Uh, also wanted to give a shout out for the continued um um success and value of Bonnie's book club. So, Bonnie Fr was a reading specialist here in the district and was focused on getting those books in kids' hands and um she passed away after battling cancer and the donations continue to fund getting uh books in kids' hands. So, I think it's over 10 years now that MPS has been giving books to students to to help address the summer slide for reading. So, just thanks to everyone involved in that, making sure those books get in their hands. And then, um, coming up we have, um, oh, of course, it's Pride Month. Uh the flags were raised today and so

023you should see those throughout each of the buildings in the district for the village. The village. Yep. Yep. Um and then um this week is obviously a pretty busy week. So, tomorrow night you're back here um doing evaluating me for my formative so midyear evaluation and then we have the eighth grade recognition ceremony and dance on Wednesday followed by senior sunset or about the same time as senior sunset. The last day of school uh of school for students is Thursday. Friday morning is the staff retirement and recognition celebration. So, love to have you there. 8:00 in the PAC. It's going to be a fairly short one. We should be done 8:30, 8:45. Friday, you said? Yes. Yep. Friday morning. Um, that's also hunger awareness day. The uh Wisconsin virtualmies of graduations are that day as

024well. starts with Insight at um one o'clock followed by Destinations Career Comm at 2:30 and Wisconsin uh virtual academy high school at 6 o'clock and then of course we have our graduation here in the brick and mortar on Sunday at 11. The 14th is Robert Lfallet senior day and we are back here on the 16th for our regular school board meeting. So those are the things I had to share. What any recognitions that the board members would like to share? You stole the ones I was going to do. Exactly. I was gonna talk about exit interviews. Oh yeah. I may tack one on specifically um for Heather at um MPS for the annual health services report. Um a personal story. So Henry lost his tooth at school. Um and it's exciting event. Um and she

025the team it just shows how thoughtful they are. Um there was like a little treasure box they put the tooth in and I just that is such a meaningful thing. Um, and the attention to detail, um, is not lost. So, um, thank you for the extra effort it takes to care for the little ones in crisis, um, when they lose another front tooth. So, um, thank you. Well said. Yeah. All right. I think that takes us into our action items. Um the first one that we have on the agenda is action on the appointment of the 2025 2026 medical adviser. Um so per policy um annually the district will arrange for a qualified individual to serve as the medical adviser. Um Dr. Livingston just for background information Dr. Livingston served in the role um from

0262000 to 2017 and then Dr. Merwin um has served in his role since 2017. Um so then at this time we that's administration recommend the appointment of Thomas Merwin MD for the 202526 school year. Um I would look for a motion to I will I will make that. I move to approve the appointment of Thomas Merwin, MD, as the district medical adviser for the 202526 school year as recommended by administration. Second. All right. Fisher. Um, any discussion on that? We're very lucky and he's been through a couple of Valley. Yeah. So, from the sounds of it, he we used him a lot during CO and then we don't have a lot of we need like ongoing issues. Um, knock on wood, right? Knock on wood that we consult him for, but he's still serving for

027us. So, yes. Okay. Anything else? All right. Um, all in favor? I I All opposed. All right. Motion carries. 5-0. I'm I'm going to remember that I have to vote. I I am just You're doing great. Dramatically. A second off that time. Just I know. I'm getting there. I'm getting there. Um okay. Uh next we have the action on the first reading of um a long list of policies. Um and I will read them. I won't put that on any of you this time. In their entirety. No, I'm just kidding. Yes. All right. Well, I mean, yeah. Yeah. Not the whole policy, just the name. Okay. So um so we are doing the first reading of um 4124 letter of reasonable assurance 6231 budget implementation 6235 fund balance 6620 petty cash 7410 maintenance 7430 safety

028standards 7440 facility security 7440.02 02 Smart Monitoring Equipment 7540.03 Student Technology Acceptable Use and Safety 7540.04 Staff Technology Acceptable Use and Safety 7540.07 07 districtisssued student email account 8120 volunteers consultants 8395 student mental health services 8531 free and reduced price meals 86000 transportation 610 Nope 6110 federal funds 6325 procurement federal grants and funds 7310 disposition of personal property 7450 property inventory 8510 wellness. My hope is in reading that whoever makes the motion doesn't have to. Otherwise, I can do it. I'll do it super super quick. We're going to go do it fast. I did it fast last time. So, I would look for a motion on that. Um I move to approve the first reading of the following policies as recommended by administration. Do I need to list them all off? as included in the

029agenda. as included in the agenda. Yes. Yeah, it's true. I'll second. All right. All right. Um so for discussion um we typically go through um one by one um and just discuss if anyone has anything on each policy. And I'm going to be real human and totally left my notes at home. So I've got them here. So we'll go through them. Um and if there are any issues that we don't discuss, I'll bring them up in the second reading. All right. So um we'll just start right at the top here. Um policy 4124. Any issues there? Okay. Um policy 6231 budget implementation. Okay. Um policy 6235 fund balance. Anything there? Okay. Um policy 6620 available cash funds. The one question I had question here. Um how many like how much do we typically keep on

030hand for petty cash? I just curious. I have no idea. Okay. Um I don't know. I think it's very small amount. Um, I can I can find out. I You don't have to I mean, you don't have to find out right now. I was more curious like are there 10 different, you know, because they go out to other to clubs and for concessions and things like that. So, um, there's just so much is cashless now. Yeah. Yeah, that's true, too. So, it's probably smaller than it used to be. It's it's very limited. Um, and if we do do this is Jeff. Sorry. Hi, Jeff. Um so the petty cash funds are one very restricted to the fact that they are not kept in buildings. We do make available cash boxes when necessary and all departments

031that do have cash have um safes that are locked. Um, so like athletics has a safe, food service has a safe, we have a safe in the district office. We're also insured um to certain dollar amounts for our insurance policies as well. So very minimal, very controlled. Cool. Thank you. All right. Anything else on that one? Okay. Um maintenance. Okay. Um 7430 safety standards. All right. Um 7440 facility security. And I always just like to note that many of these have been reviewed recently, especially these later ones. um almost within the last year. So these are just kind of technical updates sometimes. All right, sorry. Scrolling to the next one. All right, 7440.02 smart monitoring equipment. I did have a question on this one on I think it's the second first no down um second

032paragraph from the bottom on the first page. Yes, on the first page. Second paragraph from the bottom. First page. Nice job. We're looking really trying guys. Um, when it says administrative guidelines, is there a possibility of understanding what those administrative guidelines are that it's referring to? Yes. So, administrative guidelines are are are something that we use internally. It's not a board approved. That is sort of the procedures on how we carry out policies. Okay. Now, we have very few administrative guidelines in our district. It's something I'm actually going to be reviewing in towards the end of June with our Neola representative because we haven't kept them as up to date as they need to be. Okay. So, it references an administrative guideline. I'm 99.9% sure we do not have an administrative guideline for that policy.

033So, so it's more like practically here's what we do behind the scenes, but it doesn't um require board action. So, more like procedures, I guess. Good question. Yeah, I should have taught you that earlier. All right. 7540.03 student technology acceptable use and safety. Okay. Just going. All right. Um 7540.04 04 staff technology and acceptable use and safety. And I'm assuming that when it mentions like e- rate supported technology since that's a federal program that we participate in it because it's not crossed off. Is that accurate? Correct. Correct. I made that assumption. Okay. Thank you. Also a good question. All right. 7540.07 07 district issued student email account. Anything there? All right. Um volunteers policy 8120. Okay. Um policy 8125 um consultants. And this one's a new one. anything there? Okay. 8395 student mental health services.

034This one we just reviewed in January. Yeah. And it expands it to physical health, too. Yeah. Yeah. Which is good. Yeah, I agree. I think that was good. Good choice. Yep. Agreed. Okay. Um 8531 free and reduced price meals also reviewed in January. Okay. Has that ever happened, Erin? Where we have just in one school but not the other schools free and reduce. Well, I mean it just talks about it like the added Yeah. There's that flexibility, I guess. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Not today. All right. So, the next one question um transportation 8600 also reviewed just in January. Oh, and that's the end of that packet. Okay. So, then the the next ones um the Edgar policies. Why are they called Edgar policies? It stands for something. Okay. Um, what does it stand for? Got

035to be educational grant regulation. G's got to be grant. You told me when we met. I know I did. I just didn't. Why? The education the education. I can tell you where it actually stands. Here we go. Education department general admissions regulations. Of course. Right. Yep. That makes sense. How did that split my mind? But it's from the US Department of Education. Yeah. Yep. Okay. Um and this one was last revised quite a long time ago. So yeah. Um anything here? It's a long one. I'm trying to Which one you at? 6325 6110. Yep. Federal Yep. 6110. It seems straightforward as far as grant work goes. And you'll find really all of these Edgar changes are it's just federal regulations change. So you have to update your policy. You don't really have much discretion. There

036really are no choices. Yep. Okay. Yeah. Other policies we have choices. Are they from the recent administration already? No. This predates I was going to say so I don't think we we'll just be back again here, right? All right. So I think then we're on to 6325. Procurement federal grants and funds. I found that interesting. We have to follow the constitution on this one. I thought that was an interesting and that's why I was asking that question the previous question. There's also a lot of um like the definitions of the purchases and the purchase level. Yeah. and trying to follow that information through was very interesting. It really makes me appreciative of the folks who apply to the grants and then track the information needed. Okay, scrolling through. All right. 7310 disposition of personal property.

037This one is I thought was really interesting that if it if it that school districts can ma making sure I interpreted this correctly, but unused supplies funded by the grants get to be kept by the school district. Like inevitably you'll order a ream of paper or something like that. You just don't use it all or whatever. Right. But I mean even but it's I mean exceeding $10,000. Yeah. Like that was that's great because it's a grant. You've earned the money and you know so yeah it was I appreciated it. All right. Um 7450 um special update to property inventory. Nothing there sounds like. Okay. So that brings us to our last one. Um 8510 wellness policy. My question was who is that? That's not Edgar then. It's not a federal No, this is no through

038the the department of public instruction. Okay. Food service audit and these um our policy needed to be updated to reflect best practices. So they were actually ahead of our policy development cycle and they that was one of their recommendations was to update they review our policy as part of their audit and they recommended changes. So um we went through and and were able to update that. They whittleled it down. They really So quick question. Um, on page three, letter H, it was scratched that students are provided at least X number of minutes for breakfast and at least X number of minutes for lunch. Why was that section removed? Thank you. Because that was the one I want to ask. Okay. Cuz I don't like there's no minimum. I mean, it's just like I I thought

039that was interesting. Well, one of the reasons is so that you the high school, middle school, the other schools can adjust time. Okay. Or shorten schedules and it's not something that has to be mandated. Okay. Okay. Flexibility issue. It gives you that flexibility. Okay. That's kind of where it was going to go, but I just wasn't sure. And it's interesting. There's a lot of it seemed like in a lot of the goal choices that they were really similar goals but worded slightly differently, you know. So that was really interesting. Um my question was this so I think it was a little confusing. So is this a new policy? It's a revised policy. It's okay because the it didn't have any dates on it about when we last Yeah. So there were so many changes that

040we just took an updated template as opposed to taking our existing policy. Got it. And revising it. So yes, technically it's a it's a revised policy, but there were so many changes. Yeah. That um what had happened. So we get these batches of NEOA policies to be updated and this was in our queue for the next round of updates. when they do those updates, part of the service is they take our existing policy and they merge it with the update, right? There wasn't time for that because we wanted to be responsive to the DPI audit. Yeah. So, what our food service team did was had both the the the updated policy and our existing policy and compared the two to make those decisions. So, okay, it reflects our current practice um with updated language. Great

041question. Okay, thank you. Um and then they also reference um the wellness committee in here who has that been established and who makes it has not. So that's something where we are have have not had before and so that was one of the areas for exploration. if we did I think we may have years ago um pretty pre pretty much yes my my role in the chair so okay Jeff said yes along with that wellness committee piece as you go down they have they have committee representatives students I just thought it was interesting that school nurse wasn't included um I saw that too I I I don't know the reason behind that. Um but I think especially with the um conversation earlier about even our increase in um blood sugar visits related to the year

042um and needs of students and eating gluten-free and other things like I think that might be um an addition that might be worth consideration. Yeah. And I think what we tried to do is to um have those in terms of the policy. Those are the people that would be there for all of the meetings versus sort of like consulting. Okay. As needed. Got it. Um but you know certainly it is something we could consider adding if the board felt it was necessary. I mean it does say collaborators may include. So I think if we could add may include and then as we get to that part of forming maybe kind of what you mentioned of making sure it's like we we consult them as needed. Yeah. It does say may I could put health services

043team member. Yeah, something like that. A little more broad. Yeah. It wouldn't have to be the Yeah. nurse necessarily. Okay. If others are okay with that. Yep. Good. [Music] Um there was one part trying to remember which part it was. Oh, I thought it was really interesting um that they get down to the um marketing and like the the snacks that we can sell outside the lunchroom and whether they're on the smart snacks list. Um, and then even down to the club level of like if they're having a bake sale, you know, like they can't they can they're allowed two per club per year because those would not be like they're allowed to sell things that are not on the smart snack list. And if if they went beyond two, then they'd have to sell

044only things from the smart snacks list. It's very comprehensive, right? For folks listening, you see the scenario, right, is your school nutrition department's preparing preparing healthy m uh meals that meet the the guidelines and then your club swoops in and said we can make a lot of money by throwing a bunch of unnutritious food at kids and selling it to them separately. Right. And I do appreciate that there was that there's also flexibility in there for like classroom celebrations for birthdays or you know um so okay anything else on that one? I thought there was one more but now I can't find it. So never mind. I will make that change. Thank you. It was Oh, there was one part that I just wanted to go on record to say there was I think in

045the first part of it was like 60 minutes of physical activity each day for each student. And while we couldn't realistically choose that, it would be really great if we could. I just know that it's not possible with all the other expectations we have for education now. Um Okay. Okay. I think I found it. Sorry. Excellent. Let's hear it. Uh very top I kept scrolling past it. Very top of page four. Okay. Um when it when we strike through menu shall be posted on the district website and will include nutrient content. I'm making an assumption that if asked we could still provide yes that information. Okay. Okay. I figured that was great question. Do we still have the app that does that for Okay. Was it nutrition? And our nurses have access to all of

046the different um students in the district that need certain dietary needs and if we have any changes on a given day, um we're able to let them know that something's changed in the menu due to a delivery situation. So very involved uh process between school nutrition, our nurses and our students as well and families. Okay, great. Thank you. Okay, any other discussion about those? Okay, then I think we technically need a vote on that. So, um all in favor of action on this first readings. I I I Any opposed? All right, motion carries. Okay, last but not least, um we are going into closed section. Um so I would entertain a motion for close section for closed session under Wisconsin state statute 19.851E 851E. Um to discuss a possible real estate transaction. Okay. Oops. Um

047I can second that. Sure. Um and we'll go into CL. Do we need to do the roll call first? Right. Okay. So, roll call vote. Um Howry? Yes. All right. Chapman. Yes. Huy. Yes. Fisher. Yep. Fesler. Yes. Okay. So, we are going into closed session at 7:51. And so, the public is aware, we will be adjourning in close session. Yes. So, we will not be coming back to open session. Sorry. All right. Are we staying here? No. Okay. I used to work in
