001Good evening everyone. It is 6 pm. Before I call the meeting to order, I'd like to extend a warm welcome to all of our new members of district administration. We are so happy to have you here. Um, and of course a welcome to our new superintendent, Dr. McGee. Okay. Um, I'll go ahead and call the meeting to order. There are seven board members present. The first item on our agenda is the election of the board president for 2025 2026. I would nominate Art Gutierz. Second. Motion passes. 70. Okay, that brings us to item 1 C, the election of the board vice president for 2025 2026. I would like to nominate Wesley Cely for vice president. Second. Motion passes 70. All right. Thank you. And I do want to say thank you to our board leadership
002for the last their services last year. So, thank you Lillian and Jamie. [Applause] Uh item 2 A is adoption of the agenda. I move to adopt the agenda as presented. Second. There's no further discussion. Please cast your vote. Motion passes 70. Thank you. That brings us to 3A public comments. Uh Casey, do we have any public comments? We do not. Okay. Just as a reminder, public comments are allowed for a duration of three minutes per speaker. And speakers must sign up for inperson public comment by 1 pm the day of the board meeting. Item four is the consent agenda. I would entertain a motion. So moved. Second. Any discussion? Hearing none. Please cast your vote. Motion passes. 70. All right, we have uh Dr. Ryan Carula here um to uh present this evening a lot
003of June and want to spend a little time going over with you. Um the first document that you see in front of you is the overall action plan. Um the goal of this action plan is to support the teachers with their integration of the other resource. That's what it comes down to. So, you kind of see the action plan there. Um, we started off with vertical alignment and I have an artifact on that. I'll show you in a little bit. We'll get to that. But then we're we went on and we've been doing some of that uh training for our families. I've seen three kids so far and one repeater. So, a few. It's been nice. I had one yesterday. It's really good. Um, we we need to establish a team. So, we'll do that.
004We're working on that a little bit. Um, basically Mr. Fischer and Miss Leads are going to be on that like some teachers. Um we haven't had a chance to move the teachers yet. That's something we need to do moving forward once they become back on contract. Um non-negotiables that you'll see that in a little bit. We'll go over that document. Um the action plan presentations which you're seeing tonight. Um then we're going to work a little bit with the teaching learning team and to make sure we have the observation tool modified in a way that we can use to collect data on implementation. And then we're going to start to collect some data on that and that'll be part of the information that's shared back with you. And then if you keep going down through
005that document, you'll see there's a little bit of PD. There's some uh data analysis. There'll be some sharing out on our quarterly reports of the progress and success measures that you'll get to show the work that the teachers are doing. So that's essentially the action plan. Um it might change a little bit as we look into reading as we look into the second reading, but that's the draft of it right now. So the next document I want to show to you is a little bit of the work that the teachers did on vertical alignment. And this is this is good work. Teachers did great. This really aided in the vertical alignment conversations that we did with the middle school and the high school. This document is pretty new from KSD. The um yellow column there,
006the algebra standard column. Just going to give you a little bit of overview and look in. And this is just one little piece of this spreadsheet, but the algebra um standard column is is the standards that they teach in algebra 1. If it's red, that means that they taught it, but they need to work on it. It wasn't taught to the to the level that they need it need to be taught at. And if you go down a little bit, you'll see some in blue. And the ones in blue are the standards that they feel like they taught really well and they're confident with. And then if you slide over way to the right on this document, you'll see under notes, you'll see the location in the in the in the in the book or
007the the resource where that centered is taught. And the nice thing about this document is what it allowed us to do is it allowed us to improve our vertical alignment conversations between the middle school and the high school which is really powerful. Um KC will have documents like this for the other subjects. Right now they just have math. Um I think it came out last year. This is the first this is really the first time we've used it and I think it's really powerful and it helped the teachers really understand what they need to teach and um when they need to teach it. After that um there's a summary. Um this is a summary of what's been done since we since we bought the document in 2020 um you approved the purchase of the document
008in uh 2223 we implemented or we launched it and you can kind of see the big headers there of what we did. Um the first one we did PD and then we did curriculum alignment to make sure that um we had our our curriculum guides aligned to the resource and then we did some walkthroughs. You can see there there's a walkthrough that Miss Stanley did and noted that the evidence in the classroom of it being used wasn't where it needed to be. That's going to be kind of one of the things we're going to do this year is do more walkthroughs and collect that data so we can really demonstrate how it's being used in the classroom. Um 23 24 last year um we uh I guess that was two years ago. We implemented some
009targeted support some tier 2 tier three classes. So actually those are tier three classes, the algebra, the labs because they're essential. Those are essentially double block kids. We did more vertical alignment. Um we didn't have a document like we just showed you. We're just using our curriculum guides, but this new document felt the teachers felt like it was more powerful. Um we did a little bit of on-site coaching with with CK8, I'm sorry, with HMH. And we have our data talks. Remember we did a presentation about our data talks. That's what that is there. We did those and we we're continue to do some of those this year as well. And then we ended the year with more vertical alignment. And then last year we also in we implemented um is a resource provided by
010KST. It's free for us. So it's a good tool. KST gives that to us. It's on the evidence-based list. So it's something that we can get and use. Um we had to remove algebra 2 labs because of staffing. And we continue with data discussions and more vertical alignment. And then we started the parent outreach this summer which again has been a little bit successful. The people that's been there seem like it they've liked it and they and the kids have been very successful. I had a one girl's been there twice which has been good. So hopefully she'll show up tomorrow for a third time. And then the last document would be the non-negotiables. Those are things that we're expecting them to do like utilize a resource, utilize the curriculum guides, teach with fidelity, um make
011sure they're using the resource over teacher made resources or resources are finding other places. Um avid integration to high school is important. They're an avid schoolwide district building. So that's important. Um offering intervention to students who are not who are struggling with core or tier one is important to do within the classroom. Um, and then we're going to get into the PLC's and making sure we're doing those and that the principles are working with the teachers on those to give feedback on what they're doing. And then the classroom monitoring is the walkthroughs. And then the success measures are on there, too. Those are the things we're going to collect to be able to demonstrate to you the good things that are happening within the classrooms. So, at this point, that's a quick overview of the
012documents. Um, this this is the first reading. Really would like to hear your feedback or what questions you might have and I'll try to answer them. If I can't answer them, I'll write them down and get back to you. So, thank you. Thank you. Um, as always, I appreciate how thorough you are and putting everything together and the timeline and all of that. Um, I have two question, three questions. So, sorry. Um, so what if any additional training or support will be provided to teachers to help them reach the goals in the plan? So we were I worked with our HMH rep to get some off to get some opportunities for um PD. So we I just in fact I just talked to Miss Leadeds about this just a little bit ago and we talked
013about making sure we get that on the list, but there's some options there. Um, one of them that we're looking at would be to offer they have a a coaching session. They offer six hours. So, and it's actually seven hours because the first hour we get to work with a with an HMH coach and we talk about our needs and then they offer us six hours or six sessions based on our needs. So, that's one option. There's another option for new teachers. I talked to the rep and it's really important for new teachers or people who've never used the resource to get training to do that. So, we have that on there as well. And then the last option I think would be important would be maybe some on-site coaching where you have them come
014in. The problem with that one is that that one's fairly expensive and they come in for six hours and it's one time and that's pretty expensive for them to come here. So I think that'd be important but I think we probably need to do that more than once to really get an impact from it. But we're working on that. I've been talking to Mr. Fischer about that as well this summer. Okay, great. Um, and then my other question pertains to point8 about classroom monitoring. Um, I like that we're going to have the principles do walkthroughs weekly. I think that that's important to make sure that we're implementing the rest of the plan with fidelity. I was just wondering um is there going to be like a rotation um so that they're going into each math
015classroom regularly? Um and then how will they balance that throughout the year? I know that there are points in the year where things get really busy and I want to make sure that we're continuing to follow through with this plan that you've been working on. So I suggested two um each principal do two. That might be a lot. I need to work with Mr. Fischer and his team on that. Again, we've Mr. Fischer and admissions leads and I have been working on this and I put two in there as kind of a placeholder. I think we need to talk to Mr. Fischer and his principles about what they can do, but it's but it's important that they do get into the classroom and they are monitoring and they're using the walkthrough tool to collect data
016on what's being done in the rooms as far as how much um there does need to be a balance between the math and all the other subjects as well. Um, as a as a non as not being in that building a part of the administration team, I can't really tell you exactly what that balance needs to be. That's something we need to work on with Mr. Fischer to establish a rotation of some kind and that could be an artifact that we could share back with you so you can see that. Thank you, Ryan. I'll give you a moment to finish writing down. Yeah, I just want to write that down so I can make sure I can um get that to Mr. Mr. Fischer. Okay, I'm good. Thank you. So, I have a couple questions
017also. So, you did mention that um we haven't been able to staff the algebra 2 lab. Are we still seeing some shortages with our math teachers at the high school in particular? I'm gonna I'm gonna draw on Miss Dr. Mickelson on that one. Um they're asking about Yes. So, I have been working with Mr. Fischer on the vacancies and we are trying to actively uh just see creatively what we can do um whether that's buying back some plan time etc just to make sure that we have all those pieces covered. So we're on it. Um it's it's not ideal to have vacancies at this point in the summer but uh Mr. Fischer and the rest of the administration team have been working um as as quickly as they can and just seeking out creative ideas
018on how to still meet the need especially when we have uh this plan in place and and realizing that this is important work and we want to make sure that we are supporting teachers and and compensating them if we're not able to find uh full staff members full FTE in those positions. So, we have a plan, but I mean, we'd love to be able to fill it with a person. Uh, but we do have a plan to fall back on if we need it. Thank you. Yeah, I just wanted us to be mindful that you like we still have a is it one math teacher? I was I was wondered how many total. Just one FTE. Thank goodness. Okay. Uh, we have one. So, we there is a plan to again make sure that everything
019is covered. Um, in an ideal world, we wouldn't have any vacancies in the entire district for anything. But um realizing that we have one, we're it's it's better than it could be. So, yep. Thank you. And I have another question. Um on your first document, the draft for the July 9 presentation towards the end, you mentioned um uh the 912 math action plan updates, so 12A requirements. And you said that you will the report will include the weekly tracking data and other relevant information regarding the math department's progress and the utilization of district resources. So I was just wondering like like kind of what does that look like or do you have a vision of it yet or you're going to maybe we talk about the next meeting? So So my answer to that is
020yes and no. Um we have our secondary implementation team that we're putting together which includes me and Mr. Fiser and Miss Leadeds and some math teachers. Um, having a conversation with them about the data and what we what we can share, what we can track. I mean, as far as what we can do there, um, I met with HMH on their with with their rep and their tech person, their data collection person, and there's lots of data we can collect like on um, I guess my what I envision there would be usage per week. Um, now every week I don't think we would expect to see usage go up throughout the whole school year and there's going to be up ups and downs. Um there's going to be weeks where they're going to use up
021more and weeks they're going to use less. Um so as far as what that kind of entails is I would I would envision being able to show you usage, how much kids are accessing it, how much teachers are accessing it um throughout the school year. Now again, we need to we need to put some data together and get a sample together of what we can have to be able to really concretely demonstrate what you're asking. U with LL we can talk about how many um sessions kids are using it and and the number of subjects the number of skills they're mastering which is also important too and is really used as a tier two that's not core instruction that's a that would be used in like a small group time for a little bit of
022extra practice or be used during a tier three type of class where that's one of their stations they might utilize within the classroom. So to answer your question, I think I have we have some ideas about what we could do and we could include walkthroughs like what we're seeing through walkthroughs for per week because one of the pieces that I will do is do some walkthroughs as well and we'll share those um how things what we're seeing through those walkthroughs. Um and every the weekly is going to be difficult at first to kind of get until we get pinned down what exactly we want to be able to share with you. Does that answer your question, Jamie? I'm pretty pretty vague. Yes and no. No, it's good. That's good. So I think my next question
023is like I see what you're doing sort of for monitoring and tracking but then where do like student outcomes kind of fall into the plan also and and that can be for two weeks if you want to think about the plan but ultimately we want to see our students succeed so how can we make sure we're tracking their success too. So we'll we've been like every week I would export student records includes their grades. So I we track grades every week. We can do that. Um we'll also be using like HMH offers some assessments that kids can be using and we can use those assessments to um form groups intervention. That's not something we've been doing a lot of right now, but the rep showed me that yesterday or I guess on the 7th when
024I met with them. So I think we do some of that. Um we'll also get to you'll you'll see hopefully you'll get to see the improvement through your fast bridge. Um right now we don't um necessarily desegregate the fast bridge down that far to a grade level to a school. You pretty much get to get the overview, but we could do some tracking of that to show some growth on the win on the on during the the terms. Um through our walkthroughs hopefully we're going to see um that resource being used a lot and those numbers will be high. I don't know that they'll I don't know that you'll see a a ramp of improvement. I think you'll see usage and that usage will probably stay pretty high. During the weeks when we have a
025lot of academic times going on like during finals week or during the first week of school, you probably wouldn't see as much usage as you would during week three or week four. So, we we're going to have to make we're going to have to understand that there's going to be times when usage might appear to go down, but we might be doing other things during that time where it's not appropriate to to use the resource. So, that's again that's why it's important that we're having a first reading here. is because I think some of these things that you're sharing, these ideas, these questions are going to help guide us in terms of what we're going to be able to share back with you. And another piece of that too would be the quarterly reports that
026we're going to share too. And we have a slide on what we're seeing on the quarterly reports, what those look like. The quarterly report that we do the first time most likely won't be the same we do the second and third time as we share data and get feedback from you what you're seeing, what you're what you like, what you want to see. We may be doing some different things moving forward on that, too. Um, this is a little bit new. We haven't done a lot of this. So, what we don't have a a blueprint to follow. So, we're going to build kind of a I hate to say we're building the ship as we're sailing, but we're gonna go on what we can get and what questions you ask to try to present things
027back to you. Any further questions? I I do. Um, so love, thank you. This is such a really well put together plan. um how what resources are available for families to use that integrate with the HMH and how do we intend um to help them with that and make sure they're really aware of it. Um I know as a parent I would have loved to have um something that I could have used to help the kids get through some of their math classes. So if you go back to the top of this um you go back up to the top where we're talking about that number two there the digital resources training I've developed three presentations one for 912 one for 68 and one for K5 that has links to the uh resources on it.
028It has QR codes for and QR codes for Discovery Education. Those are probably the three big ones that we use. So helping parents um like for example on a was it Tuesday? Yeah, Tuesday. The f the family that came to Riverside, they brought their um Galaxy tablet and the student was going to be a fourth grader. So was able to get them logged into their student email account and access to their waffle. You know, in Google, the waffle piece. When you click on the waffle piece, their resource is um listed in there. So we could click on it and the students could then go in to their actual resource and play some games from their class. Now the problem right now with that is that it's still he's a third grader last year. He'll be
029a fourth grader. We haven't rolled it over because once we roll it over, we lose the classes. So we pause the rollover of the resources until the end of June. So the student can go in and still see his third grade stuff, which is fine. He can go play the games in third grade. He can access the videos and the resources. So I I talked to the parent about how they can utilize their progress report that they get back and the text in the math of progress report and link it up to the because the games have titles like multiplication and addition. So if the student is struggling multiplication addition, they can go and play a game on that or they can go into and I showed them in where they can go into the
030lesson skills and games and find games that match up to those areas where they're low and be able to do some things to improve that. um talked to the parent how about how I ex pretty much just continues the student where they the student used in third grade doesn't ever turn off it just continues so the student continue continued working with what Il is giving him right now and going forward on that so as far as that kind of stuff that was kind of a refreshing experience because I had never um seen how a student would access their email and their resources on their home device and we were able to get them access to all three pieces and they could actually use them. So, I have those. Um, the goal would be to utilize
031them and share them out with the schools so then they could use them with the families. That's why I made them in the presentation the way I did so they can be used down the road. I know that, you know, our elementary schools and our middle school, I think, still has a math night it seems like every year um as part of their activities and we don't at the high school obviously. Uh, but it sure would be nice if we could come up with something like that where um we could get people in the building um to see those resources in action because I know like back to school night like our freshman parents typically come right but our our upper levels um don't always come to those because their kids don't feel like they
032have to and by the time you get to conferences sometimes it's a little too late and we've looked at our conference data so you know our attendance at conferences we're trying to correct that as well. That's another piece that we're working on through our strategic plan is to figure out a way of better establishing um contact with the parents. So, thank you. That was good. Okay. Thank you, Ryan. You're welcome. Thanks for letting me be here tonight. Appreciate it. Okay. That brings us to item 7A, licensed staff handbooks for preschool, uh basically prek to 12. First reading. I got to figure out my microphone. Dr. Erica Mickelson and uh she may stay up here for a few items. I will be up here for a little bit. Hopefully it won't be too long though. So
033the first set I have are the handbooks and if you look at the um just the short the changes suggested changes on there. Most of the changes for all the handbooks relay uh to the board policies that we've adopted. So, we've had a a lot of changes and and they haven't been huge changes in board policy, but the changes that have been made have been changes suggested by KSB and then changes that we've already adopted into those board policies. So, as you look through these um suggested changes, you can see the page numbers and then what board policy they're associated with. So, um really the main again the main things on the the faculty you're looking at um and then all all of the handbooks are the board policies. So, any questions about those at
034all? Those are kind of the easier ones. So, this is first read for all of these so we're good. No questions. All right. So let's go to 7B, athletic and activities handbook updates for 2025 2026. The next ones we have for the athletic handbooks. Again, for the athletic, it's really the change for the dual participation piece. So if you look at that, we added that statement to clarify the requirements. So we have requirements for those dual participation. We have to make sure that they determine a pri primary sport and then um the schedules for practices and competitors. So, we want to make sure to give them the opportunity, but we also want to make sure that they are kind of keeping up their end of the bargain as far as practicing and that type of
035thing, realizing that if they're in a if they're in two sports, they're practicing already. The type of practice might be a little different. And then in the activities handbook, uh we looked at um of course changing the year and then changes to the dances throughout the school year were made as well as updating some of the club club information. I have a question, Erica. Um, on the dual sport participation policy, um, I'm curious, you know, the the policy reads that once approval of head both head coaches is given, which of course is appropriate. Um, but I guess one of my questions is is like when would approval not be given, you know, like, you know, like what are sort of the the factors that might go into like approving or not approving that? And you
036can always bring that back into I will bring that back. Bo will be Bo will be here next time to answer some of those those other questions. And so, but I'll I'll write that question down and make sure that I ask him and we have that answer for the next time. Um, I know that there have been a a situation or two obviously because we wouldn't have this on there if we didn't have something come up. So, but I'll get specifics and and we can bring those back to you next time. Any other questions? Okay. uh 7 C classified substitute admin handbooks for 2025 2026. Okay, for these um there are quite a few changes. A lot of the changes are again um just kind of some subtle things. When you look at that though,
037we wanted to make sure that we added in some vocab or some language about like page 13 with the statement was added indicating employees should conduct themselves at all times in the manner that reflects positively. We just want to make sure that we convey that that is a very important part of of being a member of the Emporia public schools and the Emporia school district. We also have on there um reflective changes for holidays. Um some of the information that came from KSB suggestions um for taking out the two-day restriction for religious thing purposes. Um we had that situation occur and so we took that language out. Um there's some information about employees retiring or resigning from the district um for for um clarifying language there. And then again the board policy piece. Um and
038those changes are reflected on the uh classified and the certified handbooks. And then the sub substitute handbook. It's um we had to change the hours for Jones Early Childhood Development Center because they start later and then um their times change a little bit. And then um added some language for the communication devices which was on all of the um all three of the handbooks. Okay, questions. All right. Uh, moving along to 7D emergency operations plan updates 2025 2026. Okay, this one was pretty easy as well. Jared made things very very nicely for me. I appreciate that. uh on the um emergency uh operations plan. Really the only changes that were made was pulling out all the references to Kansas Avenue. So knowing that that isn't one of our uh places that we have any faculty
039or staff or students in, we were able to omit all of those and pull them all out um and everything else. We also did have to update um one of our building maps, the one for William Allen White because that was our last U bond uh building that was was touched with the bond. So, making sure that all of those spaces were correctly identified in our emergency plan. Okay, I don't see any questions. Okay, I'll be back next time and I'll have your answer. Yes. Thank you. Uh, next item is 7E. Consider approval of the tenative agreement and negotiated agreement for licensed professionals, administrative salary schedule, classified exempt salary schedule, and classified salary schedule for the 2025 2026 school year. We'll have uh Mrs. Stranathan to uh present that information. Yay. And I'm glad we're
040presenting it, right? That we're not having any more meetings for everybody that served on that. So, just giving you some statistics from that. Um we ended up having five meetings. One was a training. Uh Mr. Rasmusen was our um mentor or our negotiator which he came back did a great job with everybody kept us on task and um we ended up with um we only needed 176 votes and we ended up with 194 and with six. So 194 yes and six no. So exciting that we got that to go through. I'm going to go through just the supporting information and read that because there's a lot of information there, but it kind of recaps and then we'll go through and look at um the language and talk just a little bit about um what we
041ended up um settling with. So on the supporting information is um here the information was shared as part of the IBB negotiation process prior to agreeing on a recommendation. and we request board approval of the recommended salary package for licensed professional staff for the 2526 contract year from the IBB negotiations team. The IBB team tenatively approved a total compensation package that includes horizontal and vertical movement for 2526 and a,000 base salary increase on the certified salary schedule. Two additional years of movement for staff with master's degree or higher. Continuation of existing stipens to ensure that no certified staff member at the bottom of the certified schedule loses money and recommended changes to the supplemental schedule and continuation of the 15,000 pool for scholarships to aid staff in getting qualified to teach dual credit courses and
042special education. The district also is recommending the base rate increases on administrator salary um classified exempt um salary schedule classified salary schedule and the base rate on these schedules are increased by 2.28% equivalent to the base increase on the certified salary. So and then there was a lot of supporting documents that were added in there. Um, one of the things uh that to go over with the tenative agreement, we didn't have a lot of uh language changes this year. So if you go through there, a lot of it was um for instance on page two of that the college hours form official or unofficial because a lot of times now uh college students it's easier for them or staff that haven't been in college to get an unofficial transcript because they can still log in
043and go in and grab that off of there. Um so that was added into there. And then right below that, qualifying hours or credits are those taken after the date in which the last degree was conferred. The language on that needed to be clarified because um individuals were asking if I'm working on my masters and I'm working on another endorsement, does that mean, you know, I would get a master's plus 15? So the language needed to state that you would have to complete the mast's to be able to get the m and then complete the 15 after you had uh earned that degree. Going to the release of contract that with the liquidated damages needed to be cleaned up. If you look at the language on page three, it just made it more clear and
044uh more understandable giving a solid dollar amount. Going on on page three down to number four, early retirement. That's where we added in the vision. They already had the dental and the health and now the vision. You'll see that on four and then also adding the vision on five for them for the early retirement and retirees. Going to page four. Once again, you see vision at the top added. And then because of the um change in the contractual hours with Wednesdays no longer being um the release days, that changed the the number of hours and stuff. And so we cleaned that up to match going. And then the rest of the document on language really has to do with change from military leave to uniform service leave. And so that is just changing that language
045to match what the current what would be recommended by policy and to make sure that was in there. Also going up, I'm sorry, right above that is instead of if you're on jury leave, you get to keep your check. You don't have to bring it back and give it to the district. So because it's a big one, right? So all right. And then you'll see also that um there were salary schedules in there giving you the updates on all of the salary schedules which would also be asked to be approved. Um you also have information in reference to the budget that was shared with the impact to the budget that was shared also with staff. And then um now I'm not a performer so the video that was sent out to them um I didn't
046listen to again I was like I couldn't do it. listen to myself do that, but went through that document so people could understand it. That was one of the things that came out of IBB to make sure that everybody was able to hear that. So with that and overall um we would see with um all of the increases that we're looking at after our new money um coming in, it would cost uh the budget around 270,000, but there were some other increase costs that would take it up to about 961,000 for the district. So um pretty exciting. We got to settle. We still don't have insurance back, but good news so far that is still staying down low. Um hoping within the next um couple of weeks they're finishing that up that that'll come back
047to the board potentially. Lisa will come and present that for IMA to everybody so that if there's any questions in reference to that. So, any questions for me on Big Relief we're done with that? This is an action item. Yes. Um I'll just say Leslie and I sit on the um IBB as district representatives and it really seemed like a smooth process. Um we had some really great discussions throughout. So, I just really appreciate everyone's hard work on this. Thank you. I move to approve the negotiated agreement and tenative agreement for licensed professionals administrator salary schedule, classified exempt salary schedule and classified salary schedule for 2025 2026 as submitted. Second. Any further discussion? Hearing none, please cast your vote. Motion passes 70. Okay, thanks. I'm still up here, I think. So, still hanging around. Renewal
048of district property, casualty, and workers comp insurance for 2526. Yeah, just me. Just keep rolling. Okay. So, this this is the time of year when we have to do our renewal for our workman's comp. And um our insurance is is with KSB and what we saw this year was we saw an increase of 139,000 from the prior year. This has to do with our usage. This year we saw the highest amount of usage. um not so much as um accidents or things along that line, but usage as in reference to people that had uh either received an injury and stayed home, whereas before um a lot of times it was people that would be just out for a very short period of time, but we saw a lot longer. So discussions out of that has
049been with uh Dr. Mickelson to make sure as we're looking at safety staff is to and also working with Corey um in reference to talking um with uh custodian staff um that are in those positions that could encounter injuries of just reminding and going back and and putting in you know reminders on safety protocols. So, um, so that that gave us an increase, which, you know, hopefully what's good with workman's comp is that if we go into the next year and don't see a high usage, then it'll come back down. So, it's not something that stays up high for several years to be able to come back. And then the other thing were with kicks in reference to our uh property and casualty insurance. Um I did start with IMA to reach out and start.
050So what happened is a we got pretty much the state of Kansas got dumped. Um and so kicks which is through our um more or less through the state is what I I reference it to is they started this program where it was more of a pool. So initially when we started with them it was about 50 and now it's up to well over 150 school districts because of them getting dumped on other but there are now um other companies out there that have interest in Kansas. So IMA was since they're brokering our health insurance can also look at this and broker and start putting some feelers out there for us and then bring stuff back to the district. So that even though we did um we did have a decrease of 25,000 um just
051them doing an assessment of it being at 713,000 there was a feeling that there may be a possibility of brokering that lower which could save us some money. So was our what was the primary reason for us getting dumped? Hail. I know that the hail is a big issue. So some of the companies that were dumping schools was it did have to do it had to do with just our region and whether it's tornadoes it's hail but for whatever reason at that time I went and listened to some of them talk a few years ago and it was this it was just too big of a risk you know with schools the footprint was just too big in a district so um they pretty much backed out of Pam for the workers comp and you
052may do they mainly look at the last year of experience as they set the rates or do they average? So they look um that's a good question. So they look within that year. So they kind of look from the start of the year to the end of the year and they do look at trend and our trend has been good. Even though we've had workman comp, we've not had the a high of incident usage as what we had this year, this last year. So, okay. Thanks. Yep. Okay. There's no further questions. This is an action item. I move to approve workers compensation insurance through the KSB workers compensation pool and property and liability insurance through the Kansas Insurance Cooperative for schools as submitted. Second. Okay. Please cast your vote. Motion passes. 70. Okay. That brings
053us to 7H. The 2020 well actually uh G sorryOU for temporary storage of dirt. Yes. So the um tech college I was okay if you want to skip I was um the the tech college had approached um Dr. Harter and I a few months ago and um Corey in reference to the property is the throwing area over there currently that lot that's right next to them as they're doing some construction projects if they could potentially move dirt over there for a temporary purpose. um when it was first approached, they were wanting us to decide that day and then we said, "Well, we've got to, you know, we need to look at this a little bit differently and have some conversations." And um Corey did research um because the initial place where they wanted to put
054it, of course, was on easements. And so we knew that that was not going to work. And so he went out, did some research, came back, we provided. There was a lot of conversations back and forth. And I I think the biggest slowdown on it was just that the company um that we were needing some stuff from that they were using was just really busy with their projects. And then we turned it over to the attorneys to have discussions back and forth in reference to this. And so um we've come up with theou. Um attorneys on both sides have looked at it. The district has looked at it. Um, we're not doing there's no charge for it, but if there are any damages or anything, then yes, they would have to do some repairs and
055stuff and they'll have to return that area back to what it was before, which shouldn't take a lot of work to get that back. So, um, that that's what we're coming forward with for theou. So, once it's signed here, if the board approves it, then it'll go to the college for them to move forward. Great. Uh, this is an action item. I move to approve the memorandum of understanding between USD 253 and Flint Hills Technical College for the temporary storage of dirt during construction as submitted. Second. Okay, it's been moved and seconded. Please cast your vote. Motion passes 70. Thank you. Uh, now to 7H, the 2026 program agreement for school nutrition programs. And I'm going to let Mr. Coulson come up here on that one. I get to delegate that one. Hi everyone. So
056the program agreement is something we do every 5 years. So this hasn't been done since 2020. It's basically just our agreement that with the state that we'll comply with all the uh programs that we participate in. Um really it's just a way for them to update their records. So there isn't any substantive change in in this except for the names that are on it. Okay. If there's no questions, I would entertain a motion. I move to approve the 2026 program agreement for school nutrition programs as submitted. Second. Thank you. Please cast your vote. Motion passes 70. Okay, that brings us to 7 I. Mill prices for the 202526 school year. I'm going to defer again to that that was cruel making you go all the way back, right? I didn't want to embarrass you. I
057thought, well, if he wants to walk up here again. Damn, that's cold. It's all good. Um, we're requesting some modest price increases for our meals. We We feel like we don't need to do anything with the breakfast prices, pardon me, except for the adults. We'd ask for a nickel increase with that. Um, the lunch increases will be 10 cents for both K through 8 and 9 through 12. I'm sorry, 9 through 12 is 20 cent increase. Oh, no, 10 cent. It's 20 cent increase for the adult, pardon me. So we we're looking at comparable pricing with other school districts and then the increase in food prices that we're experiencing and also it's I know it's uh regulated how much we can increase at one time. So correct we're in within those parameters we are compliant.
058Yeah I um I always hate to increase but I know that it's necessary. I mean, what you all are able to do and the quality of lunch you provide for this amount of money is is stellar. So, thank you for doing what you do. I actually got to Lillian and I actually were at the middle school last year and we got to have chili and cinnamon rolls. So, the best Midwest lunch ever, right? And but I just loved like how the salad bar is available. So, students can just take all of they want and fruits and vegetables. And so it it makes me feel good that for this price that students are getting a high quality meal. So thank you. I have no problem with the prices that are proposed, but do we ever compare
059to what other districts are? I do every year. Okay. Yeah. And we're we're right in there. There's some that are lower, some that are higher. So but I try and compare with similarly sized districts. Okay. Thank you, David. I move to approve the meal prices for the 2025 2026 school year as submitted. I second. It's been moved and seconded. Please cast your vote. Motion passes 70. Thank you. And now 7J subsidizing school meals for students. So this is going into the third year, correct? And which um we're bringing back to the board asking for approval to um a subsidized cost for the reduced um the difference in that from what they would have to pay. We have some statistics there for you that um during the 2425 school year the district spent 28,492 and in
0602324 spent 30,000. So want to just share that with you. So and if David had any other question. Well the two figures are they're they're very close but any idea why it might have went down the most recent year? Do you have any why? Really don't. It's a difference in participation probably. Okay. Yeah. And they're relatively quite close, but I just, you know, with everything else usually increasing. Okay. Well, this isn't a hard one for me. I mean, it gives people some meaningful relief and we make sure kids are fed. So, I move to approve. Did you have anything? Okay. All right. I move to approve all costs for students who qualify for reduced meals during the 2526 school year as submitted. Second, please cast your vote and thank you. Thank you. Thanks 70. Okay,
061that brings us to item 8A, board reports, and we have the Flint Hills Technical College Board of Trustees. We actually don't meet until the 14th. Thank you. And Poor Rec Commission. Yes, we have a um a short meeting coming up soon. I believe on the 15th, we have a special meeting for um the vote to exceed the revenue neutral rate. Um, so if you're at home and watching this and you want to come and protest your house valuation for property tax, we're not the meeting you go to. Every August we get like 10 or 15 people who come to the wrong meeting and I have to say, "Hey guys, this we agree with you, but this isn't you need to go to the county appraisers office." Um and then um we um in recent years,
062you know, the wreck had some discussion and we put $8 million into renovations to the Deoge complex um and approval to bond about $500,000 worth. Uh but that is contingent on a CDBG community development block grant that comes through um funded by the federal government but administered by the state. Um so if that happens, we'll be able to get some nice renovations to that area, which frankly has needed a touchup for a little while. So that's probably the biggest news we have right now. All right. Thank you. Uh that brings us to 8B appointments for 2025 2026. Yeah, these are just annual appointments that are required. You'll see a variety of things such as treasurer, school attorney, board clerk, truency officer. Also in this item you are appointing our depositories for our our school funds
063and then uh you al were required to identify an official paper for our legal publications other various agents coordinators. It's an annual action on your agenda. Any questions? Okay. I move to approve the appointments for 2025 2026 year as submitted. Second. Okay, it's been moved and seconded. I'm not seeing any further discussion, so please cast your vote. Motion passes 70. And item 8 C resolution uh 2025-4 home rule for 202526. This is another annual resolution that the board has asked to approve. I mean basically um you would the district would be governed and your authority would be limited to that that's given to you in statute, federal and state statute. You know that the board, you know, makes some of its own policies to govern the district in in the way that it sees fit.
064And this uh action allows you to do that. I will. I move to approve resolution 2025-4 home for 25 to 26 as submitted. Second. Okay, it's been moved and seconded. Please cast your vote. Motion passes 70. That brings us to item 8D, resolution 2025-5, generally accepted accounting principles waiver. Yeah, the district uses a cash basis for uh budgeting purposes and so you're required to uh pass this resolution to exempt uh the district from the gap requirements on an annual basis. I move to approve resolution 2025-5 generally accepted accounting principles waiver for 2025 2026 is submitted. I second. Okay, it's been moved and seconded. Please cast your vote. Motion passes 70 brings us to AE board policy update second reading. This is a second reading of uh a new AI policy and I believe Dr. Erica
065Mickelson will be here to uh have any answer any of your questions and and move us along on this item. Yes. So nothing has changed on this. The one piece that we are going to make sure we update though are the student and staff handbooks. Um once this is approved then we can go in and make those updates and changes and make sure that they align with one another. So we we are in the process of that and I will work with um Dr. Paula Hal to make sure um she's director of teaching learning now uh to make sure that we have those changes made. So we'll work hand inand to to ensure that those match. Um, okay. I just have a question. Why could we not change it the other way around if we
066still haven't approved this policy instead of going back to redo the handbooks? We could, but it's Mr. Gifin and I talked about it and it's kind of a chicken and an egg. You know, we t we said we could we could have done it either way. So, we move forward with this process to make sure that this is approved first before we go back and change those pieces. Right. I don't know. Oh, I know that this was something I brought up at the last board meeting or when we talked about this previously, that the the consequence part that we're talking about is not the same. So, I think that maybe unless I'm the only one on the board that thinks this, maybe we ought to have a more robust conversation about what that is because
067we're not we're not changing like they're two different types of consequences in my opinion. Okay. Yeah. I don't know. But I I want to hear from the rest of the board and if you guys think I'm like, you know, whatever. I know you had asked about something last time, but it wasn't it wasn't clicking for me until you just brought it back up again. So, your main concern is that the consequences aren't clear. No, they are clear, but they are inconsistent between what the AI policy is and what we have stated. The consequence for using AI in the student handbook is and one of them is more strict than the other. And that is why I think that, you know, I don't really care either way, but I think we need to be on the
068same page about what the expectation is so that they match because we might have to go back and reconsider the student handbook that we had previously approved. So would you be okay then if we approved this then that we just bring the handbooks back next time with only a change to the the consequence section for the AI policy? And then it would be in effect before school starts. Would that make you feel better? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But if we as a board are okay with what the consequences are in this policy because basically that's what we would be changing the handbook to or do we prefer what's in the handbook. Does that make sense? I'm fine as long as it matches before school starts. Not today obviously. Correct. And and we are going to need
069to as stated in the policy we will be doing staff training. Dr. Hog and I have worked on what that's going to look like for the upcoming school year. And then also we will need to have some pieces in place for what the steps look like and what a rubric looks like for our staff on how they utilize this in the classrooms. Um we are are going to be working with using Gemini AI because that is a part of our Google suite and that's something that comes with our Google piece. So really helping the staff, not just teachers, but all staff and students know how to utilize that and then how teachers and staff can put that into practice with their students. Uh so they know that we're not just going to do a hands-off
070approach. We are really going to teach our students how to utilize it and how to use it for good, not evil type of a situation. And teaching them at a younger age, too. So, a pro a progression for what that looks like in K5, what it looks like at the middle school, and what it looks like for the high school. So, I have a question. Um, and you may have the answer, you may not. I never really utilized Google Workspaces and stuff like that until really I got on 253 and then I got more exposure to it. So, I've never used the Google classroom experience, but if you're a student and you're using Gemini, which is a part of the Google um the Google, right, and part of Google, and you're using it through your
071253 account, is there any sort of real-time accountability if they're putting anything in the AI that is inappropriate that flags it and sends a report to staff? Does does anything like that exist? Yes. And it's it's new. So, I've had a conversation and Dr. H will work on making sure the transition with the tech with Dr. uh or with uh Mr. Paul Beetles and Mrs. Murray there is a portion of that already in Google the Google pieces that will be utilized or able to be utilized by teachers. It will take some training for teachers and so it's there. Um so we are able to kind of watch what they're doing and and what they're using it for. So there is a tracking piece and then we could also look at version history of documents and
072that type of thing to help us with those pieces as well. So then the other question I have is I'm a crafty student and I'm trying to use AI to do something naughty. Do you still have that feature if I log myself out of my 253 account? Yes. Okay. Yes. Okay. We are able to we are able to log students out and we're able to do many things as far as access goes with students. Right. So you'd still be able to see that AI history even than if they logged out of their email account and they're technically using it incognito. Correct. Okay. Correct. Thank you. Thank you for the education. Oh, Lillian, any other Are you good? So, if I would you like if I move to approve this policy as submitted with um could
073we just add like a contingency clause that says we'll update this the student handbook prior to um so like by our August for our first August meeting. Does that sound okay? Um theoretically, couldn't it be done by July if we're just copying it over? Yeah, you're good. We can Yeah, we can have it for July 24th because that's just moving over. Yeah. Yep. Okay. So I move to approve the new board policy IB as submitted with the expectation that the student handbooks for preK through 12 probably. I don't know. Do you have that in the Would that need to be in the prek handbook? It would be student handbooks and staff handbooks. Okay. Be updated at the July 24th meeting. I just want to be clear that it seemed like we had a distinction between
074what was in one and what was in the other. Have we decided on which one we prefer? This one. I guess we prefer this one. Yes. The one in the AI piece. Yeah. We need a we need a second. Okay. So, no, you you made the motion. I think we just need a second. Oh, I thought you said we need to say sorry. Say what? I thought you said the same. I will second that. Okay, it's it's been moved and seconded. Any further discussion? Okay, please cast your vote. You did say 230, correct? Not 24. July 23rd. July 20. I don't know what day today is. Okay, perfect. Yes, it's the meeting on the 23rd. Yeah. I'm sorry I missed who the second was. Jamie, thank you. Motion passes 70. All right. Thank you. That
075brings us to 8F, joint task force proposal with city and county. Second reading. Uh yes, we received a um resolution that was a little bit different from the one that you um were discussing previously. Um, one of the primary things that I that that I had shared with you before that's different in this is that it it kind of moves off of it being specifically a task a joint task force to look at mill levy reduction and focuses more on in language at least collaboration and financial sustainability which um is more palatable in my opinion. But I know that Lillian and Jeremy have been involved in this longer than I have. I got an o I had an opportunity to attend I think the last meeting that this group has had um before uh this
076resolution came to us. So probably important to uh hear from them on this issue. Yeah. So um I've kind of been involved in these discussions now for a little while. Um and first thing I want to do is you know give some um some praise to the city because one of the things that we had requested was that hey if we're going to have any discussion where we entertain talking about our mill levy and how we collect any funding we should invite all of the other uh school districts in the county that are also you know raising funds through the mill levy through property tax. And that's one change on here. Those people are on here. Um, I can't recall if it was a change before or not, but my point is that the city
077added it really at our request, but as we've gone over this, you know, I've kind of had a lot of time to digest this now because it's been about a couple month project. Um, and Mr. Der is here from the city, so we could ask him questions if we felt so inclined, but my understanding is that I don't know that the county commission has any interest in being a part of this. I think um they basically didn't take action on it last time and I'm uncertain if that's set to uh be added to their next meeting agenda. And of course there is that kind of who blinks first thing, right? They might be more inclined to participate if we vote first. Um, but I guess my only um, thought about that is that if they
078don't participate, um, there's some stuff in here that I don't feel is appropriate for Jeremy as a 253 elected person to really even be discussing, deliberating, or voting on, like who pays for the Lion County 911 board. I don't think I need to be a part of that conversation if the county commission's not even involved. I have no purpose in that. And so, I guess my initial thought for this is I like the way this is written better than last time. And I do give um thanks to the city for kind of smoothing that over a little bit and making it a little bit more um wide ranging. Um but if the county commission isn't involved, then I feel like at minimum this should just be a joint task force between the city and 253
079and narrow to just our issues um as opposed to talking about things and entities that aren't even at the table. Um that said, um the city's been very transparent about this. The wreck commission raises mills through the school district and the city has looked at and done a lot of work about what could we do to lower our mill levy, perhaps reduce those wreck mills that we raise through the school district and instead offset it with a sales tax. And there's some positives and negatives there. You know, the sales tax means everyone pays into it. Property taxes go down. Um, but I have some concerns about that. And to be fair, some of what I'm talking about now is the substantive thing that this joint committee would talk about if it hit the ground and
080was actually running. But um I guess my first thing is that if we reduce the property tax for the wreck by four and we've got a sales tax instead. Does anyone here really think the rent's going to go down? Then the mortgage isn't going to get cheaper except for the property owners, right? I mean, the people who pay pay the property tax, but your renters, you know, if they were assessed, let's pretend an extra 50 bucks each month because the property tax went up, no one in their right mind is going to think that the renters are going to have their their rent lowered because of that mill decrease. And then I kind of question if that's just an elucory tax cut, right? We lower the property tax, the mills down, but what is the
081average consumer paying each year in sales tax? Was it more or less? Because if it's more, then it's a property tax increase. Now, the city, I think, has a good point, which is that the sales tax would allow everyone in the community to pay towards it, which means dynamic discs, disc golf, all of that stuff, Unbound Gravel, you know, they're all pumping money into that fund. So, I think there's some positive and negatives there. Um, some people will say that a sales tax really kind of punches down on the on the poor and low-income people the most. Um, I think that there's merit to that, but probably the biggest concern I have is that the way our joint recreation commission exists. The city and school district get together, Mary for lack of a better word,
082and they have this baby. It's this separate political entity that's the rec commission. We raise the mills through one of the two tax bases. We pick 253 because ours is bigger and we raise more mills comparative, I think, to a city mill. But I don't believe we can raise or lower the mills or even dissolve the rec center unless we're both in agreement, right? There's no ugly divorce. So that makes me think, okay, if we lower the mills now, does that sales tax increase for the city, is that a permanent thing? Does it sunset? Does a future city commission have the ability to revoke that? And if it sunsets and then we have a w commission that's underfunded a couple mills, can we even raise that without the city saying yes? And then if they
083say no, isn't that kind of like an ugly divorce? Right. Um, and I don't know the answer to those questions. Um, but I always want to just plan ahead. We know who our school board is now. We know who our county commission is now. We know who our city commissioners are, at least until the next election, which is pretty imminent, but we don't know what those boards are going to look like 10, five terms from now. Um, so I have some concerns about that. And that's kind of where my thought process is. Because I think bottom line, if we have the consensus that we're willing to engage in this and we want to approve this, I would want to approve it contingent on the county commission being a part of it and that if not
084the whole document needs to be rewritten because the subjects that touch on the county commission, if they're not at the table, we shouldn't be talking about them is my my opinion. That's Jeremy's TED talk. I'll stop talking. So, you said something that really prompted me to wonder um if the county doesn't come to the table and we don't know. So, we have I mean, I just have to go off. I assume they will. Um, and maybe if I were to approve this, perhaps I would want the clause in there that we would participate if the county is going to participate because if the county is not going to be at the table, why would it make sense for there to be a special task force when, you know, the the board of the rec center
085could actually just handle this topic? because they have two representatives from the city, two representatives from the school board, and then their atlarge member. So, in that case, would a would a task force need to be formed if if the county isn't there? And on that subject, if the county isn't there, and we're not dealing with broader subjects like Mills, than all of these other school districts, which I recognize we asked the city to invite and they did, um, they don't really need to be there either. It's just a conversation between these two entities and then the wreck. And I'm not opposed to that. Um, but that's my thought. But it exists already in the rec center board. It does. It does. It does. Yeah. Lillian, do you have anything from your take? Yeah. No,
086I mean I think I might have a slightly different take than than Jeremy does, but at the at the heart of that, I do agree that we can't approve this particular resolution because if we don't know what the county is doing um because it would need to be rewritten at a minimum to remove the language that includes them. I was wondering I the county meets tomorrow. Do we know that this is true? and I don't know that it is on their agenda for tomorrow. So, so we could I mean if the board is so inclined we could move forward but that we would only approve this and consent if the county agreed as well. Right. I am not opposed to being in conversation and collaboration with the city as I think that that's positive for
087all of our constituents. I just want to make sure that we're approving the document with the correct language. I I the one thing that I uh do appreciate is that the name of the task force has been changed. I think that this is a more appropriate name. I felt like the previous name sort of told everyone what the outcome was supposed to be just with that name. So, I think that this is definitely a better name. Um, the one thing that I wish were different is I wish the recreation center actually or the recreation commission actually had votes because this is also their future on the line. And so that's the that's the part I'm really struggling with is like I I know that there's two school board members, the city appoints two people, but
088man, it's it's their life as the very first topic of a discussion, and I feel like they should have more of a vote. I don't think you're wrong. If if I could suggest I mean it looks like there a couple of things being conversed. One would be to approve the resolution with some stipulation about the county participation. Um, I think your other option could potentially be to just direct us as as administration and those folks that have participated in task force to provide the city with feedback from this meeting and uh see if we want to continue to try to massage this to make it more comfortable for everyone. I'm seeing everyone nodding heads. Is that kind of where we're at? We want to talk this over more with the city. That sounds like to
089me where we're at. So I I the the type this says action discussion information. So we'll just treat this as maybe a discussion for now. So um definitely I guess willing to entertain changes going forward, but at this time it's still discussion. Yeah. And is it possible Dr. McGee if maybe you could also in maybe the next joint meeting that might happen if you could you know reach out to the county to see if you know they've given you any indication or could give you an indication of what their intentions are as well. I just feel like for us that is the missing piece we have. Like if they're in then okay, I could be in on this. But if they're not, then let's still have this discussion, but it's going to have to look
090different than this. And that's too bad, but there is plenty of time to do that. All right. Uh moving along to 9A, superintendent report. Not a lengthy report. uh being the third day officially on the job with everyone back. I did um get a couple of days in the office of quiet time to uh begin to organize last week. But yeah, just a little note on transition. Um you know, I think that uh we have a good team that's come on board. While there were only two folks, I think in our uh leadership team meeting on Monday that had that were there in the past, at least in their same roles, um we had a a good productive meeting and were well on our way. I I say, you know, a big part of transition
091is to make sure that us newbies don't slow progress. And uh so that's our first goal is to make sure we don't slow progress, but we're already uh already seeing some impact from our from our new folks. Um just just a a brief afterchool uh care update. Um all I can really all I really want to say about that uh tonight is that we continue to talk with Boys and Girls Club about afterchool care. Still working through the logistics with Boys and Girls Club. Um and I don't know where those logistics will land tonight um as we speak. But um just want to assure the community that the school district is committed to having afterchool care available um in in the next school year that uh we will have after school care and but we
092don't know what the specifics of afterchool care are going to look like just yet. There's there's there's sorry I'll go through the whole thing and then we can come back and you can ask me anything you want about it. How about that? We're we're still figuring out how to work together here, although we're doing a pretty good job. Um I I put in a little summary of um a Zoom that I was a part of with the KSD on title funds. Uh you know, the administration has put a put a stronghold on title funds for right now. So the states are not receiving those funds. Um I don't know, it seemed they seemed a little optimistic that we would eventually receive them, but they weren't optimistic enough to tell us that we should start spending
093uh those funds. And so, uh, they their their advice was to budget like it was last year as far as revenue goes and to spend at your own risk. That, uh, you needed to be sure that if you were going to, um, spend things on, um, programs that Title One would typically fund that you had the money to pay for them without the reimbursement because there's no guarantee that that reimbursement would occur. Um they did have a a positive note coming out of that that uh the Supreme Court had ruled on the 27th of June that the -ate program is constitutional meaning that that program should continue as it has been and we know is a big uh is a big program for us and uh Paul would be scrambling if uh we didn't have
094those -ate funds. I don't have the specific impact of these title one funds on the district as I sit here this evening. you know, still getting my arms around my own budget at this point. Any questions? All right. Well, we're excited to have you and uh we have been having lots of discussions and so the you know, we're going to get there and we're excited. Uh that brings us to item 10A, executive session, consult an attorney. I'm going to make this motion, but just for clarification, it only lists the attorney as being invited. I believe it also needs to include Pam and Dr. McGee. Correct. Okay. Okay. So, I move to enter into executive session for 15 minutes for the exception for matters which would be deemed privileged in the attorney client relationship under the
095Kansas Open Meeting Act and that you return to open session in this room at Help me, Leslie. 7:33 p.m. every time. Attorney Tammy Simoji is invited to join the board for this session as well as Pam Stranathan and Dr. David McKehi. Second. It's been moved and second. Please cast your vote. Motion passes 7 0 I moved we return to regular session. Second. Okay, it's been moved and seconded. Please cast your vote. motion passes 70. Okay, that brings us to item 11A, future board calendar dates. And tomorrow, uh, July 10th, we have a community meet and greet, uh, at the Truster Business Center, so everybody can meet the new superintendent that starts at 4 p.m. Uh, and then our next meeting is July 23rd, 6 p.m. here at Mary Herbert Education Center.
