001like to ask you to stand and join me in the pledge of allegiance. >> I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for it stands one nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Friday. >> May I have a motion to approve the regular meeting? >> So moved. >> Second. >> John Christensen. >> Yay. >> Chris Luca. >> Yay. >> Kathy Helen. >> Hi. >> And O. >> Yay. >> Motion carried. >> Okay. First up, we have a gift which is a donation to Pablo County High School. >> Guardo. >> Oh, thank you. I would like to acknowledge a donation um that was given us to from CIC which is careers in construction Colorado. They are out of Colorado Springs and they have been huge supporters of
002our AAC as well as our PBLO West High School construction programs. Um their sole purpose is to keep the trades alive and they actually reach out to PBLO when they don't have to because they have plenty of kids up there that they could work with. Um, but they incorporate PBLO into what they do. And part of that is supplying the HBI curriculum, which is the Homebuilder Institute curriculum. And the kids actually walk away with two certificates. They walk away with an OSHA certificate and the actual HBI certificate. They can layer those certificates. And so some of this funding helps with that. So tonight, um, they have donated $1,440 to our program. and we are extremely pleased. >> Thank you. >> May I have a motion to accept the gift as presented? >> So moved. >>
003Second. >> John Christensen. >> Yay. >> Christa Luca. >> Kathy Howland. >> I O. >> Motion carried. >> Next is information from the board of superintendent. Uh we'll go ahead and start with John. Do you have anything for us? The high school has a new turd line, so we're happy for that. >> And it does not flow uphill, although that's what it looks like. >> We're just happy that every time we have a function there from this point forward, we shouldn't have a backup. And so, it's kind of embarrassing. I feel like it's embarrassing as a district, every time we have graduation or a large function that we have um backup. And so, uh I just appreciate the job that our maintenance crew has done on that. And they've done an amazing job. >> It
004looks like they did a good job. >> They saved us a lot of money doing it themselves. >> Oh, yeah. I'll bet. >> Yeah, >> that's all. >> Okay, >> mine mine's not as stinky as his, but um we did get the we are 100% go on the tennis courts, pickleball courts at Pleasant Middle School. So, next walk through the walkthrough is on Thursday. We start ripping those out. I hope August one and then we're the end of August. They'll put them in. They'll lay the new concrete and then three days after that they'll paint it and lay the whatever you want to call it. I guess the nets and then we'll put the fence up and we got a whole new whole new digs at PV. So >> awesome. >> Fingers crossed they continue
005this promise that they made that they'll continue to fix the parks on the Mesa schools and in the mountains. So with our IGA, they are required to maintain the parks. We own the land, they own the park. So >> Okay. >> Hopefully more to come. >> That's all I got. >> Kathy, you have anything for us? >> Well, based on what Chris just said, I'm wondering if the metro board has made any decisions on what's going on with the swimming pool that like doesn't exist. >> I heard it's just closed. >> It's just closed. >> Yeah. I so >> I I did I feel like I read that they were going to try and reallocate their halfsent sales that were supposed to go to the whatever their >> aquatic center and they may have to
006use that to fix those but don't quote me on that 100% but I feel like that's what I heard. >> Those are those swims are still older gross. Anyway, I just want to say thank you to whoever gave me the play unified t-shirt. I'm wearing it today. It fits well and I'm sorry I couldn't be there but We have some health issues. So anyway, miss you guys. >> All right, >> superintendent. >> Oh, we're just gearing up to I'll say it out loud, start school again. Uh, and so I believe we're back on track at County High School with the um the sewer there. And so we we were kind of nervous about whether we would get everything running in time, but it looks like we'll be okay. Yes, >> for me other than I
007think we might have a district 70 staff pickle ball tournament maybe in our future. >> May I hear from Mr. Duca? So gear gear up and get ready. >> Game on. But I've never played but I'm ready. >> All right. I don't have anything. It's middle of summer. So >> all right. We'll start our first discussion which is the Public County High School FFA trip to Indianapolis. So, we have Miss Johnson here. Good evening, guys. I'm Abby Johnson, uh, a teacher, FFA adviser at County High School. Um, some of you may know, some of you may not know. Our livestock judging team won the state competition and qualified to go to nationals. I got them all in the system and certified. Everything's like green light, ready to go um with their registration end. Um it's
008not until October 28th. Uh however, we just wanted to get our ducks in a row and start planning this thing. So, um, we do plan on flying because of the competition. Uh, we drove in the past, but just to make sure that everything's good to go, we would like to fly. Still would like to do some industry tours while we're there. Um, the convention offers a lot of um,formational things. There's a huge expo with every single A college that is available to students. So, that'll be neat. Um, planning on taking seven girls. Um, the team consists of four girls and then three additional um who who wanted to go on the trip. And I plan on taking Miss G as my chaperone. Her boss doesn't know about that yet, but he's pretty cool. >> Yeah,
009he's going to be okay with it. So, um I don't know. Any questions? >> No. >> Update us when you get back. >> What's that? >> Update us when you get back. >> Yeah. >> So, very exciting. >> Awesome. Thank you. >> Yeah. >> Good luck. >> Thank you. >> Okay. Next is our presentation of the public county high school book and change orders. So, uh, Corsantino Construction and Whimber have done a really great job of keeping us on budget or under budget. Um, we gave ourselves a pretty large contingency because when you start working on roofs or sewers, things happen and you can um end up paying more than you thought you might, but we haven't had that happen. And so, um, we have around $800,000 still in contingency, uh, for the roof and
010$560,000 in contingency for the septic system. Because we have a a matching best grant with that, we would like to add on some projects to that so that we get the most bang for our buck for that best grant and ensure that we um, take care of many of these projects that are going to need to be done anyway in the next few years. So we might as well utilize the matching best fun best grant funds that go with that. So some of the things that we are looking at doing is there were three more sections of roof that were yellow rather than red um that needed replaced. And so that meant the yellow meant that in the next two to five years they would need replaced. And so we are going to or we're
011asking to do change orders to go ahead and replace those roofs which is around $59,000. um in the process of repairing the septic tank, they had to dig up a huge section of the parking lot. Um and then they had a lot of large equipment coming in and out. So that kind of destroyed that parking lot. And so they would like to replace that parking lot. That's $112,491. >> Is that on the stadium? >> Yeah. And then there's there are science hoods that need to be replaced that leak around where we roofed. And so that's 8551. um whenever they put in the new sewage tank, they had to tear out the uh shotput area because the tank took that area and so they would like to replace that shotput area with another shotput pad which
012is $25,000. Um we are getting a credit back for $1,16. Uh they have some chemical cabinets that they would like to replace which are $9,100. And then we have a a leaky greenhouse area which has been special engineered for years and leaking for years. It's not been able to be utilized and so uh we've needed to fix that forever. It's around 35 $36,000. Um this still leaves us with a really healthy contingency. Uh we also would like to uh replace or re-roof the area over the where the skylights are over the pool area. everywhere there's a skylight, there's leaking and so we don't want those skylights to be there anymore. Um that's $11,000. And then while we've been doing the roof, it just makes sense to repair some of the downspouts um to make sure
013that the water is heading away from the school building rather than right down onto the foundation. Uh and put in some splashbacks. And that's 4675. That still leaves us around half a million dollars in contingency funds. So, we'll still be under budget by around $500,000. Um, I wanted you guys to have this information ahead of time. I I would like to move forward with some of these things so that we can utilize all of our um best grant money that we have been given. >> And then if we still have that half million, are we going to continue with projects? So that half a million potentially will continue with projects, but remember that we won't have matches to that piece of it, >> right? >> So we will have money for some projects to continue
014knowing that we have three roofs that are currently on um replacement value only in Publo West. >> So that's not going to be specific to Canada. That would be 500. That would be >> to reallocate. >> Okay. And then the greenhouse is that behind the science classrooms. >> So it is behind the science classrooms. And if you go in there, it's it's been leaking for years. It's not it's not an area that we >> walk through the science classroom, right? Yes. It was a store room. >> Correct. Okay. >> Correct. Any questions? I mean, we would we would like to thank Corsantino and Whimber because they have done an amazing job for us and they really have kept everything moving and on track and under budget. It has been a far different experience for me
015than my bond experience. >> Good. >> Thank you. >> It felt just like a bond update. >> Huh? >> It felt just like a bond update. >> Yeah, it did. >> It wasn't that bad. felt better. >> You know what? It's It's actually much better with that money to take care of stuff you're already working on. >> Yeah. >> And not to come back years later. We We need more money. Fix it. Get it done. Get it out out of the way. Go. Go for it. >> Proactive, not reactive. >> There you go. >> Right. Exactly. >> Thank you. >> Okay. Up next is presentation of policy revisions. You have quite a few for us. >> Yeah. That's that time of year where these kind of come out um hopefully be fast, but uh we
016do have a few policies where based on CASBY's recommendation um we did make a few updates and revisions to them. Most of them are like mechanical stylistic type things. So not nothing major. Um first one dress code. Uh on the second page just a couple changes. So on the graduation adornments um if you look at past it said a student may adorn or replace the cap gown or stole with customary worn at their school with traditional objects regalia etc. Um we take out the replace so uh they can adorn uh but they still have to wear the traditional customary thing. So that's the change there and then just some grammical uh grammatical uh changes. So capitalizing district and uh eliminating an or and that is that on dress codes. So nothing again major on that
017piece. Um next one is uh the uh JICJ which is the electronic device policy. Again this is one we just adopted made a lot of revisions to it. Uh with new state law by next year we had to have a cell phone policy in place. We already had one in place. So what I did with this one is just changed it from student use of electronic device and it's now student use of cell phones and other personal technology devices. So nothing else has changed within that policy other than um adding a legal reference to the end that uh was recommended by CASBY that talks about like posting and exchanging uh material on electronic devices. So again, nothing there. We're already ahead of the game when it comes to having the policy in place for next
018year. So, we're we're good there. Um JLCD administering uh medications to students. Mr. Subodnik did some work on this last year. Again, just some mechanical changes. And then um we are removing a section of this. So, uh the the second page you'll see we're taking out that self- administration of medication for asthma, allergies, anaphilaxis, or other prescription medic uh medication. that's being taken out uh and it's being put into another policy that I'll get to in just a minute. So, that's just coming out u but no other changes to this policy. Uh JLCD-R, so kind of the regulations uh regulations around the medicine and administering it. Uh we're changing uh medicines to medications and then we are adding that section um that we took out of the previous policy. That section's changed a little bit
019because they don't talk about specifically like medicines for asthma or uh you know anaphilaxis or any allergies or those types of things. It just talks about uh any medicine um that could be self administered such as an inhaler epinephrine. They took out uh epi pins because now there is a spray um that you can administer and so they took out the pins because you can have more than just an epidemic pin now. And then the rest is just the same as before. What kind of permission you have to have from your doctor, etc. So again, nothing changed other than getting rid of a few words and making it just kind of universal to those, you know, mostly asthma uh and again allergies where you see those kids self-care. Um screening of students. So, JL DAC,
020um, a lot of just mechanical corrections as far as just capitalizing words. Uh, so you see most of that is just that. Uh, the big change to this is, uh, we're taking out two of the statutes at the end. So, we're eliminating, um, the CRS 12-43-202.5. Um, the reason why that's being taken out is because that was only in there as a cross cross reference to CRS uh 27593, which is that 6th through 12th grade mental health screening program. That act has been repealed. Uh, the state took away the funding. This was the one that was adopted a few years ago where they said we were going to the state was going to pay for a screening program for districts to utilize if they so chose to. That was part of the budget cuts uh
021this past round. And so that act has been repealed. They're not funding that program anymore. And so that's coming out. But no other changes to this policy as far as what's in it and what it covers. And then um last one uh KFA for tonight. Uh conduct on school property. All of this is strictly uh changing uh capitalization. And we did add um we had to add CRS4 uh 44-3-91, which just talks about um prohibits consumption of alcohol in any public uh place without a license or permit. And so that's been put in to replace a previous one that we actually did have on here, but it was replaced uh by Casby. So those are the changes. Again, nothing extreme or anything that changes any of our policies or how we operate. just kind of
022going with the recommendation. So these are just here for presentation tonight. Be back on the 5th to uh ask for approval. So if you have any questions between now and then, feel free to reach out. >> Okay. Thank you. >> All right. >> Right. Next, um we have a presentation of the teacher of the deaf and heart of hearing job description. >> Um good evening. Um, so I'm here to present on the teacher of the deaf and heart of hearing job description. Um, previously the individual that held the teacher of the deaf and heart of hearing also had the visual impairment endorsement. As Stephanie mentioned, it's very hard to find someone with both of those endorsements attached to one another. So we did split those out. Um, so we are going to post for a
023teacher of the deaf and heart of hearing. And this is a new job description that we've never had before. Any questions? >> We're good. >> Thank you. >> Okay. And our last presentation is for the coordinator of English learners and gifted and talented, Dr. Martinez. >> Good evening, ladies and gentlemen of the board. Uh tonight I'm bringing in front of you a new job description for the department of curriculum and instruction. This is a coordinator of gifted and talented education and of English language uh English learner instruction programs. Um to fill this position, a person would have to have qualifications in both or endorsements in both of those areas. Um they're they're both areas where we are seeing growing numbers of students and we want to be able to dedicate administrator to support those students
024and those populations of teachers who are supporting those students. So um tonight we bring you this job description. Any questions? >> No. Thank you. >> Thank you very much. >> Okay. Do we have any comments for open forum? >> No, ma'am. We do not. >> Right. We'll move on to consent agenda. Is there a motion to approve these items? >> So move. >> I second. >> John Christensen. >> Yay. >> Chris Luca. >> Yay. >> Kathy Helen. >> Hi. >> And O. >> Yay. >> Motion carried. >> Okay. The next board meeting is scheduled Tuesday, August 5th, 2025 at Educational Services Center beginning at 6 p.m. The regular meeting is now
