001[Music] live. So we can go slide on here cuz we have so as long as our we can pour the coffee quick. Yes. Right. I suppose when I come in I should do something about that, but I don't drink coffee, so I don't think anybody wants me to help make it. I do drink coffee. And I also don't think they want me to help make it probably for different reasons. I wouldn't probably make it. Pors like molasses. It's good. You can see through it. You can see through. I'm like, "Oh, this is superintendent coffee." like just black. It's thicker. Yeah, they like see they do not they do not like it uh watered down and I don't like it watered down either. I prefer to fight. You know, I worked at the Kansas State Dairy
002Unit going through college and so 3:00 a.m. shift was always delightful to help feed and stuff. But that was the first time I realized that you can get really like the very dark almost velvet folders. And that guy just filled that whole thing up. And perfect at 3:00 a.m. on a cold winter night when you're nighttime. So comes the coffee. Yep. Call the meeting to order. Join me for the pledge. I aliance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Hey, it's good to see everyone on this beautiful May day. And we have um approval of the agenda and consent agenda. Second, give it to Rebecca. All in favor say I. I. Any oppose? Same
003sign. Thank you. Didn't look like there's any comments from the public today. Okay. Donations report. Oh, I see. What are you trying to hit me that? Actually, this is really just for in here. So, um I just let me navigate over here real quick. Just want to update you all on uh on obviously the reporting out of this. So, we had uh four different uh groups of donations. Eisenhower received a donation along with the high school specifically from the McFersonen County Community Foundation and that's tremendous support for our uh debate team as they uh get ready to head off towards national debate tournament. Um, and then our McKIDS program received some uh donations, but I just wanted to to remind the board and update them. We had a a tremendous amount of outpouring for our
004specifically geared towards our seniors um and helping them to pay off some student fees. So, you'll see those items there. We also through that process a group uh called all for lunch reached out to us to help support um students who were um had negative lunch balances. So um we have we anticipate some more specific let me name it this way we have raised through that effort there's been more than enough raise to support and ensure that all of our seniors are have their fees taken care of and uh negative lunch balances taken care of. So you see that that number is a little bit different and that will show up then as those monies continue to flow in through the month of June here. But um I just we say say it each month.
005Um, but it was especially um, impressive to see so many people just quite frankly I watched to support kids to help take to help make sure that um, they were taken care of. So, uh, we appreciate that. For those listening out there at home, uh, thank you. It has a tremendous impact that will carry on. So, um, unless there's any questions I can answer, we just would be seeking approval of the donations as presented. So any other discussion? All in favor say I. I. The oppos same side. Again, thank you. Um and I will continue to work on the fees and the needs that continue to be presented. It's an ongoing challenge when the economy continues to be a challenge. um and how we come alongside um patrons. Okay, moving on to superintendent report. I
006want to update you on a couple of things because the other items I have are either old business or new. Um but just end of year items. Um first off, thank you. We are excited to see you all at the high school graduation. We're excited to see our seniors and celebrate them. Uh that is this Saturday, which feels crazy that it's already here, but it is. Um so from a logistics item just for each of you, if you can plan to be there, 7:00 is the start time. You can plan to be there at 6:30 in the auxiliary gym. You'll be fine. And you can text me or give me a call if you have any questions on that. Um you'll obviously all be helping um we we will walk in in advance in in
007advance of the seniors and we'll be seated on the far east side of the gym um for the ceremony. But thank you all for your time on that. Um if you have any questions before now and then please shoot me a text message. Also, we have uh tomorrow, Tuesday the 13th, we will be um we will be celebrating uh I guess celebrating our retirees um across the district. And so that'll be at McFersonen High School. We have several from McFersonen High School. So, we'll just have house it right there. And that'll be at 4:00 tomorrow. So, if you're able to make it, we'd love to see you um help celebrate them. Then the logistics items once once we sail off into from the school year uh we will turn right around and everything will be
008oriented around building uh district needs assessment budgeting software uh budgeting development all of those things. So just know that that'll I'll be sharing out more information as the as the school year concludes and the summer starts to to take off. But um yeah, those are the items I have for right now, unless there's uh anything specific for me at this time. Could I make a comment? I had a patron tell me a couple weeks ago that it was really nice last year to see all of us at the graduation ceremony. That happened in prior years and we're doing that again this year. But I think that helps send a message that we're more united maybe. And when we come out with the bondage and all that stuff, I think we need to remind people of
009that. And this patron shared that with me, so I thought that was good. Yeah. You're all on the back is what I'm saying. I was just I like that. I I will say that it does mean a lot. I know you do a lot a tremendous amount of work here and some to me it's the absolute best opportunity to just see just how special our students are. Um here first off you hear the choir sing you see that but an opportunity to celebrate it together as a whole board. It's really special and I just thank you on on behalf of the district but I would echo those comments. I heard similar ones last year and I think it's special that you're doing it again this year. So thank you. What what time is 8th grade
010ref on Monday? Uh calendar I'll be in attendance to that. Thank you so much. Monday at 6:00 is what I'm going to tell you. And I'm going to verify it. Yeah. 6 o'clock. And that will be right there at the high school as well. So, you want to come and wish our middle school, our eighth graders u success as they complete that time in their life and get ready to become the next high school freshman class. Then, uh Monday the 19th, we will see you there. Time on that, you said 6:00. That's the nice thing about this technology. I'm going to send you. Okay. Old business 5.1 strategic planning discussion. Let me lead out by saying this. Thank you for your excellent work at the uh April 22nd work session. We appreciate that. We're sorry
011we couldn't see Bill, but we know that you were traveling safe and uh hopefully enjoying your time. Were you in Where were you at? San Diego. San Diego. Yeah, I knew it was west of here. I didn't know if you stopped at Phoenix or it was all the way out. Um let me just uh remind you a couple of things here. So this is the absolute most up to date. We are seeking acceptance. We um so this is now being presented. It's for acceptance which means it'll be for formal approval at the June meeting. Um please please please and I know um and certainly uh help answer questions or have dialogue as needed but please read that thoroughly in a manner. you see anything that is a typo or anything like that, every single eye
012that's been on it has been on it. But in particular, just review it. We have tried to capture each of the updates from the discussion that we had, the sticky notes that you brought forward. Um, if for some reason you feel that is still not connected or something remains missing or something is just simply not typed correctly, please send that feedback to me and we will work between now and the June meeting to make sure that these items get get updated and capture the board's fold insight. Let me talk real quickly on that. Just pause there and talk kind of next steps. So once you do take final action in June then we will I will begin continue begin and continue we've been aware of this obviously we're aware of the draft as we enter
013into the year we will start laying out timeline for I'll work with board officers I'll also work with district leadership team to establish what this particular item looks like. So you will notice on it there's not there are I mean on this draft version when you approve this plan the timeline for it we will sit down and take a look at it for the board's operating and I will talk with my team about when the appropriate time is for uh what updates related to progress on the strategic plan. An example the best example that I could find out there if we know that our window closes I'll make one up. If we know that an assessment window closes in March, um it probably isn't best suited for us to have an update on um Fastbridge
014that includes FastBridge assessment data in February because the window's still open. So, we'll talk through those logistics um and and in addition um work to make sure that we have a good cadence and a good plan for uh executing over the course of next school year. So, I just draw your attention to that. You will not see you do not see that and even next uh month you won't see that fully um established because we'll take that once it's finalized and build that draft. Okay. Uh, other than that, that's what I would present. I'd be happy to answer any questions or so. Shiloh, an acceptance tonight would sign like signal that I am okay with this with potential revisions. Correct. That would get us to a vote of approval. Yeah. Okay. Thank you. better than
015so we'll want if there are you know needs which there likely still are and I've heard a few um question marks and they may fit already but not named in the document those are those pieces though like let's get those um understood and heard and named so they're clear because if they're not in here it's going to be harder for us to execute and hold accountable for um strategically the outcomes, right? Um and what mechanisms do we have to have in place so that we hit the targets across this um and and and whatever the key cadence is for each some as we know some things are going to take longer and that some of these things are they're long term um and others are quicker I think on some already in place to some
016degree. As those revisions occur, will we all get kind of a new draft? That way we can stay on the same page as we move forward. Yes. Awesome. Perhaps we could use a Google doc. Um I will plan on just so you're aware as as those are made I will include those in my weekly report and I'll share that each iteration each iteration. Thank you. Other comments, needs. Okay, not hearing any. We need a motion. So moved for acceptance. Second. Any other discussion? All in favor say I. Any oppose? the same sign. Lots of good work. Um we'll get it to a point where it can be considered finished business. Um with lots of work that will happen through this with a living. It's going to be alive and the work that's happening. So which
017will be exciting because we'll hear back across that. So thank you. The new line boards 5.2. All right. Thank you. Um, the items that I'm showing or I'm g pull up here. Let me to skip over anything, but in this past fall, you'll recall I put in September, but I feel like it may have been a little bit later. So, I apologize if technically it was a little later than September. We put out an RFP for New Line Smartboards. Let me name kind of the trouble. I hate to go make a attempt to make a long story short, but it's the background context is important. We have a rotation for technology that includes updating of staff computers, updating of middle school, I'm not giving you in the specific order, but updating of middle school uh
018devices, elementary devices, and high school student devices. What we have previously not had is a specific uh rotation that included in the classroom technology like Prometheian boards, flat screens, whatever it might be. Well, as you can imagine, from the time that we initially started to implement that, that that probably was okay cuz projectors used to be our primary way of doing it. They were a couple of hundred to replace. I mean I don't want to diminish how much they of an expense it was. Um but now over time it's become uh oh you know the complexity of it that the whole all of those needs combined add up to a significant dollar amount. So what you're seeing here is the culmination of a lot of work around identifying first and foremost what are the greatest
019needs in terms of the classroom experience and what our teachers need in their classrooms. Um so that's the first item and what you see here is that we are recommending that we would move forward with uh with the with the bid from reach solution for new line boards which would replace any aging projectors and Prometheian boards um that are ready to be just need to be replaced. This will meet this the this will bring all will bring all of our classroom technology in terms of the teaching learning experience up to the same consistent standard. But also what it does and this is why I brought up the rotation is for the board's sake and for future planning sake this now establishes the classroom technology component as a part of the rotation. So now you'll keep
020those four remaining um technology rotations, but this will be one that will be included then in um future planning. Um we put again going back to there we put out an early bid for that for a reason to give us an idea of what what costs might even be to give us a plan. What we are bringing forward is a recommendation or I guess really our request is for the bid from reach solutions for just the new lightboards. So on the bid we also um had them we requested uh proposal prices for Redcat systems that really was not needed across the entire uh number one it wasn't desired across the whole group. Um and we wanted We need to look into that more to see if that's a component that really is needed across all
021spaces or if that's um just to be clear on what that is. There's a microphone that you can wear around your neck um and there's speakers in the back of the room and it can help project the teacher's voice um better across the classroom. There might be a time where that's something we bring forward, but for now the greatest need is the updating of of the new life boards. So you'll see then um that that's why that price is different from the the total bid that was there. So the total amount um which we would pay for in the same way that we've been paying for them re uh in most recent years we were able to transition away from doing lease purchases on our technology and to just pay for them out of our
022capital outlay. This would be handled similarly. Um and this is um actually under the amount that we would have expected to set aside for rotation uh right now for technology. So it is affordable. It's it's reasonable and the work can get accomplished. Our hope would be that it could be approved tonight so that we can start to issue uh or get those work orders moving and get uh reach working for us over the course of the summer to get those installed. happy to answer any questions that you might have. I have a quick one. Did we have any um teachers or classrooms that did want the audio cat on a breadcat? We did. We had them from a specific building. And this is kind of one of those determining factors of was it a need
023or was it a want. And we do support the needs. Spec typically, I don't want to look up there, but I mean clearly there are students who need it um as a an accommodation to help support if they're hearing impaired. And so those classrooms across our campuses already um have these systems in them. These were just some saying that this is be pretty handy to have it continue. But so Shiloh the rotations are the So when you say five is that mean every fifth year were and that seems to be when we're thinking now we were in a rotation of every four years to four years to update the middle school computers, right? and five years still feels reasonable for our equipment and um the needs of our staff and okay it that was a
024my core qu that was kind of the initial question that we posed was if we added are we going to be able to support it our tech uh group did feel like that that would be true I mean certain there's some systems wear and tear I mean not you but uh we yes is the short answer they felt as though pushing it out there and and the reality is we can always evaluate This is putting it into place. Our next one, just for this, for your knowledge, um the most upcoming one will be staff computers, our um MacBook Airs. And I mean, I'm not given a commercial for MacBooks, but those things, they last. So, not worried about them lasting for an extra year. We could probably push it off if we had to. It's
025the Chromebooks that you typically are kind of concerned about, but um we'll just make sure that we have some on hand as which we already do that anyway in case there's wear and tear or something needs to be replaced and we'll monitor that if it becomes and I noticed on here that it is um Windows 11 Pro and so there that just seamlessly happens with with Mac machines and the uh We have had this is actually the same. Yeah. So what we did there was to set up the um devices you see here. We will be installing some of some mini computers so that they can that that mini computer that's kind of the setup we already have right now as we're seeing. Okay. And so this ensures that as we install these new ones
026there's a similar setup and that it's consistent that Great question. And this was the only bid? Yeah, we we put it out for multiple bids and we didn't receive any other than reach speculating, but I will go ahead since I've already named it that way. I don't know. But we did want the group that provided it to also be able to do the installation and that could we'll get we've seen that for for uh Chromebooks for example where we've got really good bids but they're out of New Jersey or whatever the case is and I don't know um we just knew with summer projects and things that our maintenance crew are already going to be working on, we didn't want them to spend an enormous amount of time doing install of technology. So that was
027a component of the RFP and I think there's wisdom to that especially for installing you know you guys have they're going to be faster and know what they're doing and then if it's not right we know who to call for the purpose of issuing the RFP the amount of time we didn't receive what meet statute because it was out there um statutory requirements right so not that we're sidelining the process because we have somebody who we're already working with I think that's just helpful to the bigger picture see if we met the timeline motion to approve second okay any other discussion All in favor say I. I. I. Any oppose? Same side. Discussion. Thank you all so much. Just to be clear, you're going to that that particular item will make a lot of teachers
028extremely they're going to feel a whole lot better at least with knowing that the technology that they're wrangling with isn't going to short circuit on them in the middle of a presentation or whatever it is. There's going to be that's going to have a I it's going to have a very positive impact. So, thank you. Transitioning to 7.3. I said it pretty clearly there, but let me name a little bit just as a reminder. That's probably as much for well any one of us in this room. Um, so it has been Are you reading 5.3? Did I say something different? 7.3. You know what? I've got all my numbers here, right? So, the 5.3 facility work and uh I tried to skip forward and join. So, facility work and planning. Actually, I was already skipping
029to 6.1. Uh let me just name here where we're at on this. So, as you'll recall in the March meeting, the board tasked the facility committee with developing a structured process for identifying and selecting an architect for future work. This past Monday, the committee conducted initial interviews for four uh architectural firms. And based on those interviews, the committee plans to follow uh to hold follow-up conversations with three of those four. Uh the committee will meet again this Wednesday. That's our standing committee meeting. Uh we'll meet at 11:45 and we'll work to finalize dates and times for when those follow-ups will be. Um our goal is to recommend the selected architect uh obviously at a future board meeting. Uh but specifically I wanted to just draw your support to these key items that the committee has
030has really talked about as being kind of the integral what we're looking for in an architectural group which is give us an updated assessment of our facilities. Um second what's their work with supporting longrange facility planning efforts. So starting with where are we at from an updated perspective, we know we have a really rich 2018 study, but it's 2025 and we know some things have changed. Some things have gotten worse, but some things have gotten better and we need to we need to capture that so we have a better idea and then transition to long range planning. So as we follow up with these groups, those will be the core um filters that we're looking for. Um, uh, Jeff, Perry, and Chelsea all said on that. Is there anything that you would add or provide
031as additional? No, the only thing I would say is that we, you know, interviewed four, but one was dropped off by almost everybody, if not everybody. And the other three there was variance you know 1 2 3 or 321 that varied options and we decided probably just to bring them all back. those three asked the questions that we felt we needed to ask that were maybe holding us back from a higher recommendation or loweration of those three. You guys have a rubric that you're working with at all? We have a matrix that we had each completed throughout that based on the RFQ. Um so yes. Okay. Um the positive is that each I mean any one of the three would do an exceptional job. Obviously the group knows um that what whatever recommendation they bring
032forward. We want to know that we all feel there there's been a lot of challenges with unsuccessful facility plans. that's not anything that we're unfamiliar with. So, there's just some real we appreciated the committee's um perception and decision and direction to say let's let's talk to all three of these. Let's make sure that we get this right so that we can can then initiate the work to see where are we at and and really kick off so we have a clear direction for um for our architect as well as for board and district as moving forward. Once we have those set, I'll communicate that out as well. Just for your knowledge, do we do research with communities that have had them? Yes. Okay, great. So, I mean, and we're just kind of we can go
033and figure out what that research looks like as we're really exploring who to choose. Okay, sure. Great. Uh he made me forget what I was going to say. No, I was going to say I think that we felt they all three that were bringing back had specific strengths and weaknesses. So this time around, you know, they made their presentation to us and told us about what all they could do and would do and Shiloh had some structured questions for them. But I think this next time we meet with them, we'll be more the question askers and them answering rather than vice versa. You know how that is. It's like, well, I mean, I don't I like to always bring things back to just simple things that can resonate, right? Like it feels like an important
034decision. We felt like maybe a second date was appropriate before we I mean, that's how I feel. I'm sorry to come up with something that But that just feels like the best way to frame it. It's like we have a lot of really strong candidates here, but there's some things that we want to make sure we get clarity on. So, so weren't ready to propose yet? We were not ready to hand the rows out or whatever the bachelor and we did reference checks. They gave us theirs and then we followed up and did more digging on our own kind of thing, I guess, if that's how you want to say it. So, we asked some important questions and and to that point, I mean, there's three great candidates for us that were just interested in
035learning more. They all had websites. So once you find that out, you can go see what their work history is, you know, um cuz I get to travel to so many schools and I get to go to schools that have had um construction that have had, you know, big projects done and you know, you go and you find those community folks and they'll tell you like, "Yeah, this is beautiful." and right and so sometimes I think that you know when when I when I go to apply for a position that I really want I'm going to give you three really good references who I know are going to speak highly of me and you know what is our due diligence as a community to make sure that we're finding folks that might also tell us
036and here's what else happened um because nobody ever gets it 100%. Um but well and they all told us their record getting bonds approved you know. Yeah they all had failures in certain places but they all had majority of successes. So an architect in this does so they're going to design a project right like they would go in and figure out and help us understand where we really are with our buildings and facilities and then they would listen to the needs of our community and our vision and then they would design a building right that we would give to a builder but also they are the ones who do the community information I mean they do a lot of those things that's a really interesting kind of dynamic well It's what that's actually one of
037the things we want to make sure we kind of healing from the followup about like kind of what's what is we know how they've described their process but give us a clear picture of what that looks like. Um, but that's where what we say is what what we know. What we need right now is someone to come in and make sure that we have a facility assessment that gets updated so we all know what are the what are our strengths and weaknesses and then through those community conversations help to identify a scope and then design the project as we get there. And really approaching it as starting completely over from scratch is a good way to think about it. um that we just want to make sure that as we have dialogue with them that
038that's to your point is what does that look like? So as we go from a facility assessment, how do you you know what's that look like? And then how do you help to establish priorities for for a group longer term? And then if there's a specific scope of work that's the highest priority now, how can you help us gain insight from our community to to get a clearer picture of it? We we can anticipate there will be some things that'll be the same, but I'd anticipate we might find out there's be some things that are completely different. We don't know. But Wednesday the 14th, that's this week, we'll meet as a group and follow up to to set those dates. Could I could I ask a related question? Where are we with this group that's
039doing the enrollment thing in the building assessment? When are we going to get that? It's targeted for the end of May, first part of June. So, that'll be coming up. In fact, when we get to work session, that's what we'll be. Go ahead. I'll talk a little bit. Well, I'm not talking about that specifically, but indicate on that data to come. Hopefully, I'll I guess I'll double check. It might have been June, but we'll have rich we this board will have rich data to look through when we see our enrollment study come through and the building utilization study come through from RSP Associates and that'll be in June. And then we'll also have an architect chosen at that time close to that time. And our hope that uh is that we can then have them
040working together and that information to help filter into this board's work over the course of this upcoming school year and years to come. It's I I am excited about about those particular study and bringing an architect in for an assessment at this time. It really is um ought to lay some really rich foundational strategic knowledge for this group for your decision making and I'm excited for it. Good. There's no action needed on that. There's other questions. Jeff, did you have any Well, I think it's important for us to recognize the process, the layered process and the overlap and the data um mining that will is taking place and will take place to give us information so we can make informed by not just well we think or what do we know? We look forward to
041those reports. Okay. No, I think the RFP was good in that except the parameter. Thank you. New business 6.1. This is where I didn't even call the right number, but 6.1 is what I was trying to talk to you about. Um, let me just name this for you all. Uh we've worked really hard over the last several years and by several I mean um in my time as superintendent to host a June work session to go over specifically a multitude of data points but uh specifically state assessment results, student performance results. Um that is going to continue to be a priority in terms of being able to dig through it. But I just want to remind the board that that the state assessments have changed or that something within the state assessments changed this year
042which is going to result in all of the state of Kansas having a delay in getting results in. And so they're telling districts and have been telling districts to plan on those coming later in the summer. So obviously a June work session already for that reason wouldn't be um advantageous but we also did have some scheduling conflicts uh within the board that just is what resulted in what you see in front of you right now which is twofold recommendation cancel the board work session currently scheduled for June 23rd 2025 at 6 p.m. and establish a new special meeting for board retreat on June I'm sorry on July 9th 2025 to 11:30 a.m. That would actually be at Central College if we would get that set. I might be at KST on that day working with
043their state board. Okay. So, um June 23rd be a good day. What's that? Said June 23rd would be a good day. I knew from scheduling standpoint that will be continue to be bad for stock. Uh that the 9th was offered as as a recommendation, but we could certainly look at schedules and see if there's a different time in July. I'll actually know for sure Thursday. this Thursday. Um, well, let me actually name this. Um, technically do what? You don't need to set a date. I was going to say technically you could set that that second one at the June meeting. That's exactly. So we would just need action on the first item just to know that we will be setting one setting a special meeting sometime in July for board retreat. Motion to cancel the
044board work session. Scheduled for June 23rd, 2025 at 6 p.m. Second. All in favor say I. I. Any oppos? side you then we'll look at our June meeting what that board retreat um that board retreat will include many different components for us um as a board that we haven't really gotten to so there's some good opportunities there for us to work what I'll do just to give an idea as you start to look at it um I will send uh well let's first tentative first look at the July 9 and we'll wait to hear back. Um, but if we hear back, yes, you're indeed hooked up, then I'll work with Ford officers to target a couple of different dates and I'll just send it out and try to ask for a check availability. Okay, thank
045you all so much. And our border chair, I think you're kind of getting to that will be around multiple different things so that we can get together and really dig into some things um and not necessarily on student data. Right. Right. Correct. Student data will still come, but we won't have that quite. We don't know the date that that's all going to be to us yet. And I wonder if there's a way that we could view that kind of student data in a way that's more meaningful for us in our community. Um, so that would be something to dig into at our work, the house, too. Yeah. Thank you. 15 items. Now we can get to the seventh. Now we can get to seven. I I got this looked okay. Uh disposition of minutes. We
046have a name that was it got fixed. The official minutes shall be correct. Just so you know, uh for the work session included the wrong name, but they've been updated everywhere else. So, uh, he we're going to say that that Mr. Rhodess fouled that off and he still is batting a thousand. But anyway, aside from that, I didn't hear anything uh related to that clerk's report. Um, I continue to we continue to track this. This is of course down to the time of the year where you want to keep as close of an eye as you possibly can on it. And you can see how we were tracking in terms of uh percent remaining uh at the same time last year. And then you can see where we're tracking uh right now. And so that
047continues to be a positive picture um as we get ready to enter the final well as we are now in the final two year two months of the fiscal year. So, um, really nothing to report on related to that at this point. Just to share that we continue to track what we expecting even the bills um standard for the months of April. I didn't have any specific questions on the bills um other than just that we are uh the the one thing that would just be worth noting um that I did have a question about is there are a lot of field trips that occur over the months of March and April and so those start to then show up on peak cards over the course of the uh in this case on April there'll
048so you see some things for stratica and other places where We've since field trips but other than those items just a comment you know as I look at the comparisons you know that's always what I'm watching and just uh an expression of gratitude for you and your team and the way that we have taken some big steps as a board um as a district and to see that we are on target and mostly above target in a couple of areas is a real testament to your leadership. So, thank you. Thank you. We're thankful to be tracking where we're tracking question have in some form or another the audit adjustments been reflected in the this numbers and as as we separately review it for where from where we feel we're going to land. Yes. that on
049these we keep those true to the same as last year. Yes. Thank you all. Uh need a motion to items. So moved second. All in favor say I. I. The opposing sign. Okay. future meeting ideas, needs. None of these should be surprising uh or none of them will be surprising, but um just items on there that remain true. Obviously, strategic planning, long range facility planning. We will start talking in our June meeting about the district needs assessment. Um, just a reminder that that's really kind of the it's actually only name one thing on the district needs assessment that is being finalized over the course of the spring from the building needs assessments as they flow in. Our district leadership team will meet tomorrow and we will look at the the district as a district leadership
050team. We will look at all the building needs assessments and then we bring that to the board in June. Um and then that'll be revisited again in July and then in August as we continue the budgeting process. So just know that that's um a part of that ka update um that will continue to be um on there um as I shared previously um about ka update we that is now it really should it really was always technically being reviewed annually but ksa has changed. It used to be a 5-year cycle that was being reviewed for progress annually and now uh but really it was thumbs up, keep going, thumbs up, keep going. Now it is being reviewed and we're we are in more of a February um cycle for KISSA. Um, however, as we get
051into the course of the school year, that ka update will come in terms of how are we implementing, what are we doing towards our action plan. So, just know that that's going to be more of a late summer, early fall, and then performance data is on there as we learn more. My memory, what's key? Thank you so much for asking that. I apologize. I I do that all the time. Kansas education systems accreditation. This is the model that we use to make sure that we are as a public school are accredited and we are fully accredited. Um but we just I just we just call it KISSA. So okay is the accreditation process and it used to be a fiveyear cycle. I will occasionally go on to say unless you have COVID in the middle
052of it and then technically it was a seven-year cycle for some of us in there but it's now an annual cycle and our action plans get reviewed uh in February now February March through the accreditation process. So this is the group that certifies our accreditation. Correct. Interesting. It's the process that that's that and usually has, you know, as schools are submitting stuff, Shiloh, then there's usually some feedback about improvements to make and things that they'd like to see and current trends and I mean trying to tie the the policy makers and all of those things together to keep us moving in the direction the state's vision is for us um from lawmakers to KSD is hopefully the impact that KISSA has on schools. Yes, it is. in its first year. So, uh, but we continue
053to be good on that and honestly, it's been a good process. So, as we learn more, we'll that'll certainly be up there. I just named that that's on there, uh, for that reason, but expect this to come later in summer as well as performance data. Announcements I've already shared a little bit about, um, except that, um, we will have just as a reminder and it's just crazy. It wasn't, you know, here. So, here we go. we go right from one thing starting to prep for the next. Um we will conclude uh school will conclude for our seniors as they walk across the stage on the 17th. Um and then the 22nd the following week is the last day of school at 12:30 dismissal and then we will be on to our June and and July
054meetings. Um, doesn't matter cuz it technically got cancelled anyway. So, June 30th, that wasn't the work session. Supposed to be the Yeah, just the wrong date. It's an error. It was an error. And since you just canled the June 23rd meeting, our announcements are now June 16, July 14 and we'll update that as we know when we have one final item for negotiations. Think we're thinking. So Larry, you sent out some stuff about things that um to discuss getting data. Oh, for the border retreat. Never mind. I always miss the details. You guys are surely figuring that out by now. like, oh, these are items. Got it. It's just information that I've been gathering over from various voices. And so, just have them in a place where everyone is seeing and hearing some of the
055same so we don't one I don't lose it, but that we have that as a because you're all hearing from different patrons and spaces, too. So, that we kind of know some of those components. [Music] Unrelated, I'll add I was excited to see the announcement regarding our summer lunch. We are very excited. That was really good. Thank you. Very excited. We recognize that'll be growing some potential growing pains, but we're excited about the opportunity to really help um a lot of people through the feedback that we had heard. And there's certainly already been some that were like I I did in fact like it when I could go daily. But we heard a lot that said and because I couldn't because I had to go daily, this will this will just be a one time
056and I can go and get it and that's going to be a a lifesaver is what we're hearing. So we'll uh as as we learn more, we'll keep going or keep you informed. But I was excited to see. We have one final item for our executive session. Mr. Rose, did we need 15? Is that what we thought? Yeah, we can 15. All right.
