001get a drawing we got to get people to bid on it we got to know what the cost is so I talked to Somerville a few weeks ago they're going to put together an architectural drawing where we'll be a package where people will be able to be to bid on and then we can bring those numbers back to the committee and the full board and just you know see where we're at that helps determine is can that happened or not how does it fit in budget parameters and get feedback from all the Stak that would be necessary to see how that works another topic that we have is we have our custodial Services contract that we're reviewing and as a committee we talked about determining can we potentially negotiate with our current provider on our
002Serv continuing our services and how would that look and does that make sense with where we're at right now our committee felt like it's definitely worth talking to them they could still Services area is not always an even area to to fulfill because of the uniqueness of even cleaning and those responsibilities I didn't have any other significant updates I know those three definitely um could create some discussion but I thought I would share where we're at right now and we'll definitely be having another facili committee meeting coming up soon again and we'll keep talking about these topics as um more information is secur any questions Joe just on the um in committee there just uh on the concession and bathrooms U is there just one drawing you're having or are you going to look at
003a scale down in case that one's kind of high maybe just a slab and a steel whole building um to to be able to get something in for the fall yes so that was our discussion with Summer bill is we need to have some flexibility to you know wherever this comes in does it come with an alternate bid option so just as you mentioned we're able to scale it down should the board decide that's something that is necessary to potentially complete the project I did talk also about timing with them to say in a in a perfect world we would keep talking about this and you know disc discussion would take place between now and potentially starting the project during a summer timeline to have maybe as a fall dock to be complete it just
004again depends on how that drawing looks where numbers come in and where the workload is you don't want to just have one contractor throw a number at it just because nobody else is available we also have we want to involve our students you know if it can be um part of the project too so there lots to be determined yet but I think Chris your question is is correct and that we're trying to have multiple options to try and potentially make something happen some of the the part that where it's seems like it's dragging on so it appears we need state approved plans we can't just come up with a plan the way we would on our own so some of that earlier discussion those ideas weren't weren't going to work so we we do
005we do need State approved plans um so that that kind of rules out some of the some of the easier ideas that we were earlier discussing why why is that have to stay through plans because we're school next we'll have M Martin the director of people service give us a report good evening Lord I have four items on my agenda for tonight um the first one is another donation to continue with our theme this year of multiple donations coming in so this one is from Wolf River Community Bank and there's a picture there if you want to notice the picture um this was a very large donation it actually took us a long time to haul it into the school so you're going to see there Michelle Hull and Karen Duke and Julie Martinson from
006the Wolf River Community Bank and what they do is every year on President's Day when the bank is closed down um their staff uses that as a fundraising activity and what they're um kind of taging off of is volunteer Fox Cities um so the staff every year at the b gets to decide who they want to donate to so this year they picked um the school districts for the three locations that the werber Community Banks sit in um so there were multiple school districts for the three locations of the wolf Community Bank and what they brought us was 800 of personal hygiene products and snack bags and just enormous amounts of blankets and gloves and just resources for our students so you can see that picture there and I don't know if the picture does
007it justice because they brought two carbs full of materials to the high school and then um eron Mar School social worker is going to take care of this Distributing those items so you can see them in the picture there so thank you to wol River Community Bank for that tremendous donation um the second item I have um just getting the word out WKA County now has um safety dispensary machines throughout the county um they are available 24 hours a day and they are vending machines which are free you don't even have to put a quarter in the vending machine and they dispense items like tick removal kits um covid Tex um safety locks for gun cases um multiple resources you've probably seen this on the news this news story has been running on all the
008local news outlets but but um those materials are available at um the waca county courthouse and also at compassionate Connection in Clintonville which is a 24 hours a day site so I just wanted to update everybody on that um annual notice on our safety bot alert updates just to remind the board that when students are putting things on our electronic platform we are monitoring that so if they type anything into a Google doc or an email or Google Classroom we are getting alerts and if there's anything concerning we are responding to that 24 hours a day related to that um we do have emergency num numbers available for our students I just asked Evan to look for his ID card and he doesn't have it on him right now but the students at the secondary
009level they have all these numbers on their um school ID badges um in the past the Suicide Prevention Hotline was a very long 800 number which nobody could ever memorize now there's a 988 number and we are working to educate the students on that the other numbers of course we know 911 is fire police ambulance response but there's also a number called 211 which we have been educating the students on and that is a United Way community response where if you would need some social services assistance um and items related to that and I know Joel markart personally is very involved in the United Way um so we are just getting the word out on that resource to the students so that is right on there badges when they have those any questions okay we
010we'll move to the teaching and learning Services report by Mr Blake sure thank you one update to to share earlier this week our high school and the junior class participated in their annual ACP dting uh which is a requirement for all Juniors uh within the state of Wisconsin it's that final assessment that supports their academic accountability and where their skill sets and abilities are just at that um this process just doesn't happen um this is a process that starts well in advance um from the beginning of the year in Prior of evaluating past uh testing environments we test online so as you can imagine the technology that goes into that with uh Wade berglin um overseeing that process along with building administrators and our test coordinators within each individual buildings within all indicators are that
011we had a successful uh testing window four individuals that were missing Brian is that right right yeah so four students out out of the junior class so that there alone is a significant accomplishment when you think of students and the diverse schedules and just getting to school on time for some individuals that ultimately assists us in our uh catching up with them to be accountable for them to complete the testing process so so that's like sick kids and everything yeah there's only four out four so that's out so when we look at uh the upcoming results that we'll be anticipating U we'll take that data and uh look at where our hard work and efforts have gone into from our Ela and math to support what next year will bring as we strategize for setting
012up U our targets and goals for next year so thank you to all staff support staff certified staff and uh that were actively inv involved in prepping as well as administering and setting up the appropriate environments for the testing protocol I think that's a pretty big class too so that's [Music] good any questions for Scott hearing none uh we'll hear from Mr RL um student representative report so as you all know the show choir um has finally finished up this they're going to do one more performance at home here um whatever the date was in the packet um and it was their most successful season ever um this includes the band and the show choir we like to call ourselves the show Entourage because it's not just one or the other's effort it's everybody's efforts

023night in a hotel just because we have to get back up to the airport before we can fly out the next day um the home stay experience is great they can see what the the houses are like how families interact like simple things like where a door knob is and how you lock the door just things that or light switches and outlets and um some of those things that as Americans you know who live are in the US all the time you don't realize when you go to a different country they do things differently um and just you know they eat eggs for dinner and you would never eat eggs for breakfast in Spain you would eat them for dinner so those kind of things that they're going to catch from being with a host
