USD 345 June 2026 Board Meeting

001I'd like to call to order our June USDC 345 school board meeting. I think we'll start with the pledge of allegiance and we will have start us off to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands one nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Need a motion to adopt the agenda, please? >> I so move. >> Second. >> Moved and seconded by Braden. Any discussion? Hearing none. All in favor raise your hand and say I. >> I. Oppose. Same sign. Motion carries. Learning without limits. Mr. Wings. Is Mr. There you are. Hello sir. you are presenting somebody if you'd like to come up to the podium. >> Sounds good. Uh hey, I'm here uh to introduce uh Brody Anderson who I've been privileged to coach for

002the last four years. Um if you follow the state track meet uh a week and a half ago, uh he finished second in the 3200, second in the 1600, and then finished it off with a state championship in the 800. So, just uh to be brief, first off, I'd like to thank uh our coaching staff. Uh Coach Peterson was such a strong advocate uh for Brody throughout the season and throughout his career. Uh and our consultant Jack Karachic has been a wonderful resource uh and has helped us out a lot with him. Uh the one thing I well kind of two things and they're a little bit contradictory. Uh, one is the first time that I saw Brody run uh was our middle school cross country camp and and it was there was so much

003joy in the way that he ran. It looked so easy. He smiled. Um, and you could see uh the excitement and potential he had. The the kind of opposite thing is there were times for him where it was very difficult. It was very hard up to and including that last meet where I think even after that 1600 where he ran wonderfully, placed second, but doubts arose a little bit after that and he had to compose himself, come back and then he took control of the 800 and and brought home the state championship to all of us. >> So, uh, Brody, do you have a few words or no? >> Um, I just thank everyone for all the support. >> Yeah. And uh you graduated this year and what are your plans for at Washurn University?

004>> That's awesome. >> So we um have a certificate for you. >> Mom, I don't know if you want pictures. You guys don't have to stay for the meeting if you don't. >> Just making sure you knew that. >> You can if you're really bullied. >> Very inviting. Um, public communications. Anything, Candace? All right. Uh, Mr. Wilson, superintendent remarks. >> Thank you. So, this is a little public participation. I want you to raise your hand if you have made a mistake in the past year. >> How many hands? >> Some of us may have made a few more than one. >> I thought you were pointing at me. >> No, that was that was just >> I'm like, wow. But if each of our employees in the district makes only one mistake all year, that's

005over three mistakes each day in our district. I don't think it's unreasonable to think that we make dozens of mistakes each day of varing consequences. But for the most part, our individuals and teams do an extraordinary job of making great decisions, doing what is best for students, and doing their best to make our district great. I'm extremely proud of our staff members, the results they get, and the care they take of the kids in our community. We aren't perfect, and there's a lot of room for improvement in this very difficult work, but I'm extremely proud of the things our students, their teachers, coaches, um, paras, bus driver, food service workers, and so many others have accomplished this year. We won't stop improving until working together, we achieve our mission of preparing each student for lifelong

006success. Our children are too important to ever be good enough. And we'll continue to be accountable to each other for those results. However, I'd like everyone to think about accountability a little different than maybe a test score. Not because tests aren't important, but because um some have used test scores as a weapon of school destruction. play on my Yeah, >> I got you got it. >> Yeah, testic scores aren't accountability. They are measures of achievement. Accountability is about ensuring you continue to get better and are the absolute best version of yourself. Do you know who I'm most accountable to? Who causes me every single day to look in the mirror and choose to be better than I was yesterday? >> Who I give everything for so I can live up to everything they think I

007am. my wife, my kids, those who care about me most. On my whiteboard in my office, I have the following quote. Caring means not being less than your best and not allowing those in your care to be less than their best. Thus, caring isn't a feeling, but actions that hold yourself and others accountable for being everything they were created for. We need accountability. the type of accountability that we have to each other when we care about each other and in particular our students enough to be our very best for them and to ensure that they reach their awesome potential. And again, you just saw a young man who they had high expectations for and our kids will reach them if we just keep bumping into them and have those high expectations. I want our district

008to be radically student centered, doing everything to ensure their success. And I promise you that our test scores will be everything we had ever hoped for. We wouldn't let them be anything but that. So proud of our staff and students, and I care tremendously for them, and I want to see them live their best lives. We can only do that if we are a well functioning team that takes care of each other as if they were our family. It has been another great year and next year will be even better as we grow as a district including all of our families to care about each other and support each other to be our best. Thank you. >> Thank you. That was great. Mr. Wilson every um so president remarks, board remarks. Does anybody have anything

009that they would like to share? >> Can I just say one thing? >> Sure. This is my favorite of our board meetings because I love having the activities and athletics people present to us and tell us about how our kids are involved beyond academics. Um, as everyone here knows, I'm a very very strong advocate for keeping kids involved in our buildings. Um, grades are not the only reason our kids come to school. And this is I I was all excited when I realized that this was the meeting tonight. >> Say h, >> no pressure. Yeah, >> I have something. This is Lance and the maintenance crew season right now. So, I guess I would just say um please be sure that the maintenance um department thank them for for me and I think from the

010board because that's one of our um board goals >> board goals is to have beautiful facilities and um have things look nice and be well maintained in the district. So, thank you and thank your crew for us please. >> Thank you Diane Hansen. Anybody else? >> Well, I just wanted to share that I uh everybody knows that I am on the KSB board of directors and um if you didn't know, I am your region 2 vice president. Um and so um we had a little board retreat this weekend and um they gave us a engagement report for how engaged our district is with their association. And I just wanted to rattle off a few things that I thought was kind of interesting. Um so so far for this year our district has invested over 158

011hours engaging with KASB, which I thought that was really cool. We are ranked 79th in overall member engagement and 20th among districts of our size. And then there is also some really nice kudos on here. So congratulations to board president Michelle Codell on her selection to the current LFT or leadership for tomorrow and to business director Lisa Morando on being chosen for the current bold class. So, we are excited to celebrate your accomplishments and your upcoming graduations coming up. And um so I just wanted to put it out there that KSB Plus is something that is part of our um not subscription um >> Membership. Yeah, sorry. Words are hard. And um there like our view as board members is going to look a lot different than district staff. And so um our portal is

012really um made for us board members. So there's a lot of like online courses. Um we always talk about policy. So policy updates are on there. So I just wanted to share that that is a resource for um us as us as board members and not just the district. So if you need your login, please let me know and I can get it for you. But I just thought it was really interesting and I'm happy to share the report if you would like if you would like to see it. So that's all I have. >> Thanks. >> All right, moving on. Disposition by business uh business by consent. I need a motion, please. >> Make a motion to Oh, >> go ahead. >> to approve uh our disposition of business by consent. >> Second. Moved

013by Diana, seconded by Kyle. Any discussion? Hearing none, everybody raise your hand and say I. >> Oppose. Same sign. Motion carries. On to action or discussion items. We have athletic activities reports. Who is going first? Mr. Uler. >> I'll go first. >> Okay. >> Thank you all for coming tonight. I was told that I have to keep it to like 45 minutes. So, I will try to keep it to 40. Oh, wait. You said 45 seconds. >> Maybe 45 minutes or less. >> That's fine. >> This is okay. >> I'll try to keep it short. I know you guys have a lot on the agenda today. Um, just thought I would give you kind of an update. We kind of talked that last that last late season we didn't get to come talk to you,

014so I thought we'd start there. Just kind of looking at our numbers. Our both of our boys basketball teams did not finish the season like they had hoped. They fell short of of the championship, but they're better players. They're better young men. Uh they're better teammates. And that's all we want at the middle school level. And we want them to stay out. We want them to continue to play. We want them to continue to participate. Bowling did a great job. Girls won the the league championship again. Um which is fantastic because a lot of our kids don't come in with a lot of bowling experience. We've only since the north shutdown, we've gone down to quite a few kids that don't play except for during the season. So, that's pretty amazing that they could do

015that. Girls wrestling, we had a lot of success for our second year. Um, lots of kids out. We bumped our numbers up to 30 girls that started for us. Um, and then we had two individual champions and several other medal winners. Um, very impressed with how those young ladies handle themselves on and off the mat. Um, these are these are leaders in the building, not only on the on the mat, but also in the hallways as well. Uh golf numbers. I'm a little disappointed with our golf numbers to be totally honest with you. I want those a little bigger. Um it's just tough. It's a it's a specialized sport that not a lot of kids play. Same with tennis. Um had a lot of great success individually there. Um teams didn't necessarily win any state

016any championships, but they played well and again great teammates. Um great leaders in the building for us. We always appreciate that. girls track and field. We had several um personal records set throughout the season and then we ended up with two actual league champions for Durant and the 32 and Derby twin with the with the girls shot. So very proud of them. Numbers continue to stay strong and we want to keep it that way as well. Track is one of my favorite because it gets the most people involved. On the boys side, lots of great um you know, great athletes came out again. Um, lots of champions. Hudson Foxovven was part of two of those. Um, and a lot of solid I don't know how, but he jumped completely out of the pit almost, I

017think, when he set that set that record. So, we're going to get his plaque and stuff updated on there. So, very, very proud of those as well. We have um lots of great participation. Notice the choir numbers, but I don't I did not have last year's up there, but I believe that we almost doubled our choir numbers. I want to say it was 48 last year or something like that, and we had a 100 kids part of the choir this year. So, I know that Mr. Bond was very, very happy with that. Um, and then I wanted to highlight our FCCLA, FBLA, and National History Day kids. We had put my glasses on. And then I and then I will leave you guys. >> Um, we had 35 kids out for FBLA, which is I

018think the biggest numbers I ever remember at the middle school. We had 14 that competed at state. 10 of those qualified and eight of those are going to nationals. >> Wow. >> At San Antonio, >> great. >> Later this summer, um, we had 12 National History Day kids qualify. And so they'll be going to Washington DC uh, shortly. Believe Sunday. Sunday. Nice. Um, and then I think our FCCLA numbers were down a little bit. I think we only had a couple of kids actually qualify for nationals in NCCLA four. I could I can never remember that two or four, but very proud of them. Um, you know, we we talk about leadership on a basketball court or on a football field or, you know, even in the hallways, but these are things that these kids

019are learning and they're going to take with them forever. So, very proud of them and the opportunity they got to participate in. Any questions for me? >> No. >> How'd I do? >> Great, Jeff. >> No matter what the time was. >> All right, guys. Uh over the year for us with Seammen Athletics. Um first of all, we're 5A qualification. Put the numbers up there to show where our enrollment is. Um that puts us as the um 12th largest 5A school out of the 36 teams. So the 36 schools that are there, all the teams that are in blue right there represent the teams that are in our conference, the United Conference. Um this year we had nine schools in the conference. We just picked up a 10th school, Spring Hill, that will join our

020league starting this coming fall. Uh which helps out with a lot of scheduling. For example, for football, um we just play all league opponents for basketball. We play 18 games with league opponents. So, it just it really helps with that. Plus, it's a a nice uh even playing field as far as size is concerned. So, we're kind of right down the middle of of UKC. Go ahead. Go Justin. Uh students that are involved in athletics right now, we have 53% of our population is involved in sports. That's not including activities. So, when David shows his number, you put those two together and it's 80 plus% are out for something. Um if you look at male participants, 447, females 373. Um some of them do multiple sports, so I don't want to skew the data too

021much, but total participation, we have 820 participants in our sports. Um lot of stuff on here. I'm not going to sit there and go through every little thing, but just some of the highlights from here. Um obviously we I think we have seven sports in the fall. Um with that, some postseason acknowledgement. Brody Anderson that was just in here was the UKC uh runner of the year. We had Elise Sacker was the UKC girls golf player of the year. Uh Kinsley Smith was the volleyball defensive player of the year. Emma Sweeney um she got second in state. Uh she was the UKC girls tennis player of the year. And then Julian Mclofflin was our girls golf coach of the year in the in the league. Um so again some of the sports we need to

022work on a little bit. So for example, football was three and six this year. They were sixth in the UKC out of nine. Uh there were some injuries that kind of took place. Uh for example, we also uh we went down to the wire with the team that got second at state, which is Baser Lynwood. We went on the road there and almost pulled it almost pulled out a win. Um soccer, we had a new coach this year, so he's going through some learning uh curves with that kind of thing. Um but overall uh like our tennis program, for example, was city champs, UKC champs, state runner up, and we had multiple people that you know placed the state. The next slide is just kind of a picture culminating some of the some of the

023the the good things we have going on. I can't show all the pictures we've taken throughout the year, but if you follow the Seaman High School Facebook page, we try to post as much in early as possible. But that's our tennis team and golf team and how they did uh being UKC champs. Next, this is the winter. Um again on the left is all where the teams ended up as far as in the UKC. Um some of the highlights would be like basketball. I don't know if we expected to be as good as we were in boys basketball this year. I knew we had some returners, but I don't know if anybody thought we'd be like this, but the team just gelled. So, uh, they were 23 and five, second in UKC. It came to

024a tiebreaker against Topeka West, and it had to do like with the 10th or 11th tiebreaker, you know, West got it. So, um, you also have, uh, girls bowling with city champs, UKC champs and state champs, uh, which we've already come here and and given them the respect and the recognition that they got. Um, both boys and girls wrestling, qualified several for state, so it was fun to go down to the Park City and watch some of the athletes go. Davon Bonner was the boys basketball player of the year. Um, girls, um, you know, they were state champs in bowling. Bob anointed, Tony Pñena got coaches of the year. And Jeff, do you mind jumping back too really quick? I just want to highlight some of the things that we do right there. Um, we

025do a lot of hosting it seems like lately. Caseia likes to ask us to host things. And I think that is um it's it's it's nice to know that they trust us to do that, but we hate we hosted in the fall state tennis, which was an ordeal. Uh, we hasted hosted state unified bowling and then also 5A regional girls golf. And I also want to point out that this year new um we have under the umbrella of athletics we have picked up our bike and our cheerleaders and the rational behind that is they are athletes uh number one. Number two with myself being at a lot of the events I could help to you know support and supervise what's going on with them. So I just wanted to point that out. So Jeff jump

026forward too. Um we also hosted this year 5A substate basketball there eight substates across the state and we got to host one. So, the next one is some of the pictures of our kiddos. Uh on the right, that's something that we started um doing a little bit more this year. We actually have it at the end of the year, a coaches uh lunchon that we get everybody together. We give out award. We actually opened up um a new award this year, which is the Rick Brady Longevity Award. So, any coaches that have been in the district 25 years or more, we gave them a certificate. Um but also, you can see up there is also our girls state champship banner, which thank you tennis or it's already up and everything. We will do a dedication

027uh at a home event this coming year. That's the girls with UKC trophy are boys getting third at state. All right, spring. Again, a lot of going on with this stuff. Um some of the highlights, Brody Anderson, you saw that state champion in the in the 800 meters. Ava Hust was the UKC girls soccer player of the year. There was two uh two person uh player of the year. Aubrey Warren was the UKC softball player of the year and Kyle Severs was UKC girls uh soccer coach of the year. Um girls swim for example got second state. I don't think they planned on that but they just had a wonderful day. They all kind of came together at the end softball. Um second UKC made it to the regional final ran into a buzz saw

028with Wishto Herald and then girls soccer for example had a wonderful year. Um lost to the the 4A chance or green champs whatever they are Hayden. Uh, and then the only other loss we had on the season was to Washurn World who went all the way as well. So, we played amazing game in a lot of those sports. Um, I do also want to point out, um, we do host one of the premier track meets in the entire state every year, the CB Welsh Relays. Um, 30 teams, two or 750 athletes. It takes dozens and dozens and dozens of workers. Um, several 6A boys and girls state champions, the team champions were there. Um, so it's just it's just a great event. Um, so I know that's one of the things you guys will be

029talking about as far as time is concerned, but it is it's a wonderful event. Takes a lot to make that go off. Next one. Here's some pictures. Obviously, our boys tennis team uh won the league. The girls on the right. Uh because we did split with Dodto on the UKC uh league this year. Um both the Dotto AD and myself got together on a phone call and just said it's not fair that the tiebreaker for that which means it's like the 10th or 11th tiebreaker is a coin flip and we felt like that wasn't right. How do you go competing all year long and leave it to chance? So we got together with all the APs and and we're going to go and get another trophy so we both have those. So we can have

030the trophy at that point. Um but then there's bro with a state championship medal. Um next I just want to highlight two things and I will be done. This is something that we do on a weekly basis. Uh Randy James and Gambinos gives us certificates uh for people to get small pizzas. Um but every week during the seasons, our coaches nominate for each of their uh levels uh athletes of the week. So we get to highlight a whole bunch of kids for doing that doing really good. And it doesn't have to be the people that um are winning events, winning things. Uh it's people that are good in in in practice, good teammates, that type of thing. So we get to nominate and put on social media a lot of this stuff different from positive

031public acknowledgements. So last slide that I have is uh something that is also really awesome for our student athletes is college signing days. We go three of them a year. Um this year we had 29 signings. Um I think we went 11, nine, and nine. We do those in February uh or November, February, and May. Um it's it's great acknowledgement for all the hard work and dedication that they've done. Um so we've got just a ton of positive feedback for that and I cannot take the credit for all the the officer stance. My secretary does an amazing job setting it all up. Um I just get to see all it. So you guys have any questions for me? I do. >> Yes, sir. >> What are the gate receipts since we joined UKC? Are they

032going up? Are they going down or are they staying low? You're going to have to let me look at him specifically. No, that's all right. I'm just >> We We've done very very well here. >> The ultimate question I've got for you, Travis, is are we in the right league? Are we where we need to be? >> Not saying yes or no. >> I don't want to give you the wrong number, but I think we clear $95,000 in G. I don't want to give you the wrong number. I believe that's where we are. That's not counting passes or anything like that, but $95,000. going to be that's after eight subs test. >> Thank you. >> Yes. >> All right. >> Thanks for having us >> Mr. Ralph. >> Okay. Hello. >> Hello. >> My minutes

033will highlight some of those activities. So how much fun go for you. The uh numbers are a little bit different than kind of what Travis was talking about and ours are a little bit skewed because you look at it. We have 1,33 kids on active rosters on the different clubs and activities that we do, but several kids do multiple clubs and activities. One of the things we actually talked about this morning in our planning is what we'll do with uh some of our time in our collaborative moments in the morning and and it will be highlighting kids that are in activities and athletics and then teasing that out as I put in there. What we're more interested in is the kids who are not participating, the non-participation list, because sports and activities is your best

034at risk program that we have in our district. And so, as Travis was saying, when you put those two numbers combined, you got about 17% of kids that we need to identify. And once we do that, then we'll figure out why are they not participating or what are they doing instead? and then that will help us create some some assistance for those kids to get them involved or making sure that they're not slipping through cracks, if you will. So, to me, that's the whole point of why we're here, right? It's talking about what these numbers are and what they wrote. Uh, you can see that our numbers for activities. That's through the high school activities association. Go ahead, Jim. I do want to highlight our activity sponsor of the year, Mr. Guzman. That's our debate

035coach. Uh shout out to him as a former student, one of my former say who mentored that man. >> He's awesome. This sponsor is an awesome uh what I like about that though is it was uh highlighted and voted on from the staff. So they all voted for each other. He was AIB sponsor of Peter. I also had to add pictures because I saw Travis had done that. I was like, "Oh no, I got to show you." >> Uh I did it by the fall and the spring only. It's a little bit trickier. I'm sorry, by activities and athletics. I did it all kind of combined and I couldn't highlight all of them because there's just too many. Um there's a few of the notes that you have in there. Uh band for example went

036to Winter Park this year. Came back with several of the Superior Awards. Uh that was fun trip. It was actually really fun to watch kids go on a shopping spree at the grocery store. They do not know what they're doing. So we need to focus on that shop. Uh couple of state trophies in there as well. So debate took third in state again this year. They did awesome. All of those activities are definitely um improving. Another one that I would point out is Scholars Bowl. They made a huge improvement from last year to this year and went from um they went from actually close to last in the league to third in the league this year. So awesome for them. So that's just some of our highlights there. >> Oh, we did get the high

037school activities association performing arts school of excellence award. It's a commended award is what we got. That's a combination of all those different organizations that are under the umbrella of the high school activities association. So theater, debate, speech, uh, choir, band, all that. They vote on that. So we were commended by those organizations, which is a fantastic thing. That means our programs are doing well in the eyes of the state. Pat Travis had so look at all these trophies that those kids are walking around with. But what that represents to me though is fantastic representation of our district out in the community and wherever we travel. We have a great name that comes with us and we do well. Next slide. Then we look at clubs. We have 41 current clubs going on in the

038um at the high school. And so all those numbers start representing that. I'll highlight just a few of them. I'm not going to talk about all 41 of them. Oh yeah, we'll talk about Miss Kent. Go ahead. >> Yeah. Miss Kimp was the uh Miss Kimp was the sponsor of the year. She's our yearbook sponsor. If you haven't seen her yearbooks, they're really cool. She's done a fantastic job the last couple years. She's taking over that program. Um and staff are recognizing all the hard work that she's doing fantastic. So, she was our club sponsor. Some highlights from different clubs. Uh we had the anchor leadership club, which is relatively new. A couple years ago, they did that mural on the football stadium that seniors have like a legacy type project. Um, we had some

039community outreach projects going on with the suicide prevention club. Uh, the art club did a fine arts gallery at one of our theater productions this year, which I thought was cool. Our largest growing um club is HOSA, which ties into our science organization. It's one of our pathways. So, that grew quite a bit. almost 60 kids are involved in that particular activity. So, that's fantastic. And the last one that's on there because we highlighted in sports the uh our basketball team, for example, I thought that was a huge community moment when we showed up down at Witchah. And if you go to the next slide, Jeff, it's one of the pictures I included there on the bottom. The student section, the amount of organization it took to get everybody down there was fantastic. Uh lots

040of comments made on how we're from there down at Witchaw and we outnumbered the Witchah schools and the >> like one. So >> I did happen to see shirts come off at once. >> Well, when they were there and they showed they were there, right? So that's spirit club. That's the idea of bringing everybody together and supporting the community. And so the point of the activities in my opinion is how do we provide these special places for kids to get involved? Maybe it's not a sport that they're really in, but it's their thing and they can do that and they can get involved and be a part of the community and be a part of that championship that we, you know, state trophy. No problem. That was cool. Thanks. I think that's it. >> Mr.

041Any questions for me? >> Yes. Did I see a fishing club on there? We do have a fishing club and that's also one of our larger clubs. >> And so if you ever have a sponsor that leaves and goes away, give me a call. >> That is 100%. >> Any questions for me? >> I do. >> 52 or something. You listed all of the athletics and events and extracurricular. What is a band auxiliary? >> Band auxiliary is our uh band dance. So they used to be what would be known as flags. Uh but now they have a combination of flag and dance and uh they have a competition aspect to it. They're under the umbrella high school activity association but they are attached to our band. >> Second question Jeff if you could go to

042the clubs club slide. Each club requires a sponsor and this is just for my knowledge for engagement. >> Yeah. >> How many of those clubs are sponsored by multiple teachers? Uh some of them are so some of the larger clubs. Uh >> so there's 41 clubs. Is it safe to say that we have 35 teachers that engaged in this? >> Oh yeah. >> Perfect. >> Yeah. Yeah. And so a lot of times the clubs are the things that uh the staff do because they're also interested in it is what I would say. It's like they that's a way to connect with kids and so they get involved in that way. Well, I think our staff needs to be, you know, recognized for their extra time and dedication on this also because we're trying to add

043clubs to provide interest for every student and if there's a club and you can find a sponsor, we've got sponsor, >> right? >> If you can't find a sponsor, you can't have the club. So, you're right. We're doing a national job. >> We call Brad. >> I said fishing club. Some of those I'm not qualified for. Any any choir? >> Yes, sir. >> Do the sponsors for the club get any pay? >> Uh, not all. So, some it depends on what it requires for extra duty in terms of super big. A lot of them take place like within the day like the time frame of our advisory time, that sort of thing. Some of them require extra outside of their contract time. So they may get involved >> next year. It'd be fun to be

044able to see how many kids are involved and everything >> in each one. Oh, I have that. >> They have numbers and such. >> Yeah, I can I'll put a little bracket by each uh one of those >> because then I can blow it up because my aunts can't read all that you'd be amazing. Thank you. >> Thank you, Mr. Ralph. >> Thank you. Thank you all you >> okay I know sorry we should have >> Thank you. >> Okay uh Mr. Jones random nicotine testing programs to hand out. >> so disappointed. >> We have enough we probably you know everybody likes tutti frutti but uh so uh so I'd like to discuss um removing nicotine nicotine testing from our random drug testing program. Uh first want to be very clear that Seaman High School

045we remain fully committed to providing a safe drug-free alcohol and tobaccof free uh school. We know nicotine use is harmful. We do not support or condone vaping or tobacco u in any form. Uh the question uh tonight is not whether it's harmful, whether is this program effective strategy in reducing nicotine use among our students. Over the past few years, we've had an opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of the program and determine whether it's accomplishing the goal for which it was created. After reviewing the data and outcomes, I recommended we disconnect discontinue the program as part of our random drug testing while we continue to test for illegal drugs. Uh the reason simple. We found no evidence that nicotine testing is producing the results that were intended. The program was created to preventative measure uh so

046it would deter students from using nicotine and provide an avenue for intervention where students tested when they tested positive. After several years of implementation, we've not seen the data that demonstrates nicotine testing is significantly reducing and amongst our students. Since 2021, only a small number of students have tested positive. uh during that s same period several thousand students have attended Seaman High School that equates to about half of 1% of students that have tested positive. Um and with while any positive indication is important the overall rate is extremely low and raises questions about whether the program is an effective use of our district resources. The financial uh component of this each test cost $59. Um, if you remove the nicotine part of it, that reduces it by seven. Well, that's a, you know, not a

047huge amount, but with the hundreds and hundreds of tests that we do that it does have money that goes back into other programs that we can use. Uh, especially since we talked budget earlier this year. When we look beyond our district and Travis had talked about our our conference, there's 10 teams in the conference. There's only two schools that do drug testing. It's us and Shauny Heights. And we are the only school that does nicotine testing. So um while we should never make our decision based off what schools are doing, but kind of look at why is it not that important to them or what other avenues do they seek for that. Um another factor is the changing environment of vaping. Over the past few years, we've seen increasing um acceptance of nicotine and vaping

048among families. um several times that this year when we've confiscated banks, the the family basically says, "Yeah, I bought it for and so um so we're trying to fight a battle that uh we're we're losing and we're not getting that support." Um some of our school-based consequences are alone not enough to discourage the behavior. Um so we need that successful partnership with families and if we're not doing that, we're kind of spinning our wheels. Um, another part of it is the connection with PARS and I cannot remember what the acronym of PAR is, but uh, so when a student tests positive that we connect them with them and they're supposed to meet with them to come up, talk about their addiction and uh, plan to moving forward. And we've had some one either they have

049staffing issues, they've lost some funding, they even had another parent report. They went to she took her daughter there and the uh pars representative was vaping in front of them. And so um had a hard you know you're sending that message that this is bad. This is what our students are encountering. Um I really want to emphasize this recommendation is not about lowering expectations or becoming more tolerant of vaping. because nicotine is still prohibited in our school and we still have, you know, vape sensors in our bathrooms and we still, you know, try to make sure that everyone is doing the right thing in the school. It's just I don't believe that it's having the impact that we would like it to have. Um, so and as education leaders, we have the responsibility to ask

050ourselves, is each program that we're supporting, is it working? And I I don't think that this one gets working. >> Um Mr. Jones, what's the consequence for if they were tested as positive? Obviously, they have to do the PARs, but then is there anything else? But >> go ahead. >> Um if they self-report, so if they come in to do the testing and like, hey, I'm going to test positive. If they self-report, then they have a referral to PARs and they have to bring back the form and pretty much stay in and they retest in 90 days because usually that's about how long it takes for it to get out of the system so it's not in the hair follicles. Um if they don't self-report it comes back then it's a 21 day the first

051time lose the parking privileges and stuff and >> okay >> so some of the same as the drugs. >> That is correct. So it's the same. So nicotine and drugs have the same impact. >> Okay. >> You said that nicotine was half a percent. >> Yes. >> What's your rest of your test? What's the percentage on those? >> I don't have the number for like THC and vapes. Uh I was focusing more on that, but I can get that. >> That's just one. >> I had one more question. >> Yes. with PARS maybe not being the most effective partner. Um are there other partners available that we not necessarily >> Yeah. >> in doing some research there's also there's uh county resources and also in our health classes you know we we cover um you

052know use nicotine drugs and stuff. Uh and a lot of times either here or previous schools I always recommend families get with their family physician. They usually know their child best. So there there are a lot of resources online available. >> Is this it's discussion but is this something that would need to go into the handbook? >> Yes. Um in fact um I was talking with uh our good friend over here Jeff that um so for the uh enrollment packet which he'll be working on this week uh that information in there. So if we did make a change um for next year uh change would need to be locked this week basically today um so that if so he could remove that from the handbook. Sir on that roll action item action item >> if

053you guys are getting to approve this let's vote on >> yes sir >> I'll make a motion that we move the nicotine testing as presented to an action item >> second >> moved by Kyle seconded by Donna um any more discussion on it any more questions for Mr. Jones >> hearing none. All in favor raise your hand and say I. >> Oppose. Same sign. Motion carries. Thank you, Mr. Jones. >> Candace. >> Yes. >> Will that just go to the bottom of our action items? >> Okay. Thank you, Mr. Johnson. Hello. >> We've seen you a lot. >> Good to see you. >> Yes. Thank you. It's good to be back here this evening to talk to you about our laptop proposal. I'll add just a request to talk a little bit more about why

054we're proposing laptops today uh at school. So, not sending them home with students. Uh just to give you a little bit of a timeline on how uh we came kind of to this decision that we're proposing tonight. We started talking about it with different leadership groups. our building leadership team and then our guiding coalition uh both went through and talked about the benefits of having that and so proposing it for a variety of reasons. Uh one of those being prioritizing classroom uh instruction and focus on standards uh instead of necessarily homework. Uh and then also sending work home at this point. A lot of what we're seeing is students are using AI to complete it. So focusing on completing work in the classroom uh with a teacher as opposed to sending it home to where

055they may use artificial intelligence to do it for them. What I really want to draw your attention though to is the work that our technology department has done in terms of when we send our computers home. A lot of our students are using them to access proxy sites. Uh I didn't really have a good understanding of this. So I asked Mr. maturing Rtech uh R techch person at SEMA Middle School to explain it to me and he started that explanation and I had no clue what he was talking about. So he explained it to me like a middle schooler. That didn't work either. Explained it to me like five and what we finally got to and Jeff maybe can speak to this better than I can. But basically they go home, they download a proxy.

056It looks almost like a Google search engine is how he showed it to me and they can search just about anything when they come back to school. Um be able to go to really any website they want to. uh and he has compiled a list of about 8,000 different proxies that represents about a third of our students who've done that. That creates a real discipline backlog for Mr. Uler and myself dealing with those. >> So if they're at school, our filters won't let them do that. >> Well, the way proxies work is that you have basically bypasses around any sort of filter. Thousands of them pop up daily. So we as soon as we find them and we've got a list of 8,000, we stop them. They'll go home tonight, hunt around on the internet

057for two or three hours until they find a few that work and then when they come back the next day, they get screwed around in class. >> And when they're at school on our Wi-Fi, they can't do that. >> No, the the what he's saying is that specific site that they go to bypasses, >> right, >> all of it. So you're trying to >> I would say the biggest thing that's stopping it and Jeff correct me is that we have supervision at school. >> You've got somebody standing around the kids watching what they're doing when they're in the building when they go home. That doesn't happen. >> Okay. >> A lot of times kids are left to their own devices for hours >> at home and that's when this becomes a problem. >> I do

058I did appreciate a list of the number of times >> yes >> those um sites were accessed as well. That was very interesting and eye opening. >> So is that mainly can you tell from your list is that mainly happening at the middle school or is it just across the board? >> It is almost exclusively at the middle school. Whatever reason it's that age. Yes. >> Um my staff and lucky us we're set up or at least we were last year. Kids are getting their first laptop that's theirs. >> Yes. >> They get seventh grade most of the time. That's about the same age kids are getting their cell phone when they come to school at the middle school. Their cell phones aren't accessible all day long. >> Yeah. >> So, all they have is

059their device or their laptop. So, that's kind of what they're learning >> their limits on. >> Uh and going home and and maybe mom and dad aren't quite as vigilant. >> Yes. >> Because this is brand new to them, too. >> Yes. >> So, u it it does get bad in seventh and eighth grade. The high school doesn't seem to be near as bad. I think it was because they've kind of gotten used to their personal devices and they do the things that they probably shouldn't do on their laptop on their phones now >> because they have access to them, right? We'll see what changes next year and they don't have access to them. >> So my brain goes to those kids that are doing that most of all they need to be in tech

060somehow, >> right? that there's English several times in my office and we tell them what you've done here is impressive >> don't do it at school to their names just >> my child was >> Mr. Johnson, I do have a question. So, I really like that we're focusing on um ensuring that, >> you know, the kids aren't using AI and such. What happens with homework? >> Is homework not being assigned then or what happens if a student like misses school and has homework? >> I think our focus is going to be on digital homework. um they have the opportunity to complete it at school and putting a lot of emphasis on our first professional development on um just the right amount of homework. I think finding the right right quantities is another aspect that we're

061really working on in middle school. >> Will our students be able to check out a laptop if they're gone for a few days or uh some of our student athletes um even at the middle school level? Is that a possibility? >> I we talked about it as a possibility but as soon as you open it up >> Yeah. then everyone's going to want it, right? And so finding ways to accommodate them and have time at school to do it, I think is going to be the better avenue. As soon as someone finds out they miss a couple days and now get it to take it home, then other kids are going to find out how to do that as well. >> So Kyle, if they go have one at home, go to the speak public

062library, get on a public laptop or computer, could they use that to do homework or something? could. But I think again our emphasis wants to be on not having that good school life balance where we don't have as much that we're sending. >> But if a kid's sick for >> Yeah. If they if they're sick, if they >> they could still get on school volunteer, >> right? >> How could we do homework? Heaven forbid the oldfashioned way. Actually, >> a lot of it make it accessible to do it. Yeah. Paper pencil as well. >> Right. So with the pencil. >> Yeah, >> I know. in cursive. >> Exactly. >> Let's not go crazy. >> Well, I appreciate you went to your building leadership team. You talked to your parents. So, I think >> Yeah. And

063the other part I failed to mention is our April PD day. We had a whole session on this as well. So, our whole staff did talk about it. There's wide support. I'd say about 95% 5% had some concerns as well. We got that feedback and we're working on, you know, addressing that with our teachers also. I have a little concern for the hour that's just being brought for just seems a little late in the ball game. Um I'm I'm really torn. Um not sure. Sure. So, one thing I wanted to bring to the board is it was not my plan necessarily to bring this back next month as it is an administrative decision, but obviously the board has the right to. So, I think if you want to have a decision, it would be to

064not allow this. If it is to allow it, that is pretty much what our principles do is how they manage their technology along with obviously our technology department. So, probably what you need to let us know is if you want to make a change to what the middle school has planned, you need to let us know so we can bring it back and you can vote on it. >> I think anything we can do to get the laptops out of our kids' hands 247 isn't a bad thing. And especially at the middle school level, I've heard concerns about the amount of homework kids are getting. I think this could be an interesting step. Um, and I trust that our teachers and our administration will re-evaluate as this goes on. If we get three months in

065and we're seeing continued like all things we didn't think about, we can reconsider at that point because the kids will still have their laptops at the school building during the school day. One of my concerns is we approved having the laptops for them to have at their use. Yes, they choose to abuse obviously. >> Yeah. >> But are we using I'm trying to think of my word. Are we getting our monies for does that make >> Well, they're still using them in school. They're just not taking them home, >> right? But if they what I Okay. Okay. >> I think kind of to your point there, I think they're a fantastic tool. We definitely don't want our our teachers to stop using Schooly, any of our Google Suite, the numerous tools during the day. saying

066to have them at home for play. I'm saying to use them for projects or papers or all of that at home, but I would go to this list of proxies here. I think the use at home, >> it's not for Yes. The vast majority of use at home is not associated with school. Would that be accurate? >> Yes. And I I know I don't think this is a new issue either. We kind of >> over the years moni kind of stuff. It's always been middle school that's a pro child. I guess that's >> the future. We're not unique in that either. Most districts say same thing that age. >> Absolutely. I lived it. So yes. So I guess I would look and say I think you've done your homework and I just personally I look

067at this and I go Yes, I think I defer to your >> especially to work. >> He did a ton of work and please thank him for that. Those were were great. >> I also want to make sure >> Sorry. Could we ask that maybe we get a report on this three or four months into school >> and find out how things are going and how our teachers are adapting and our students are adapting and what poor Jeff is adapting to. do this. >> You're sneaky. We'll they'll find something to do. >> I'm also just um curious, Dedra. Of course, accommodations, everything. As long as >> we have discussed that. >> Okay. I just wanted to make sure we weren't >> forgetting about those type of things. We'll still get >> Okay. Okay. Great. So,

068I'm sorry. Do we need to have an approval. >> We don't need to do anything. >> Thank you. Appreciate it, guys. Thank you, Mr. Johnson. >> Okay, moving on. Uh, Professor Vney, we're looking at some handbooks. >> Yeah, just a few. >> Just a couple. >> Just a few. I'm because you guys won't vote on this until next month. I'm going to touch on the things, but I'm not going to beat you to death because there are a few things that you've got on the agenda today. If you've got questions, I'll try and answer. And if not, I'll get you answers and get those back to you. At Matthysse, I'm going to start with them. Um, one of the things that she wanted to add was that recess won't be withheld for disciplinary reasons. There

069was actually legislation that came up on that. It did not pass, but Mrs. Cruz decided that that she liked that and wanted to put that in there. Obviously, each one of them will have House Bill 2299. Uh update on basic housekeeping stuff, having the correct board members, uh updated community busing fees, curriculum update, Kansas early learning standards link updated and add board approval for update for full day programming just to be in align with what we've got going on at the elementary. uh added personal device violation to tiers two and three. Cell phone policy, minor wording changes linked to weather and the weather aware chart that has to deal with when students go outside, what's the outside temperature, what's the wind chill, how long will they be out, those types of things. Just some clarity

070on that. They they put the student walkouts which was Senate Bill 315 and then a number of updates to the volunteer section. Uh the middle school updated the principal's welcome updated the board members academic behavior and social emotional expectations are taught using a core curriculum interventions uh striking out the word period. uh behavior matrix and social emotional program and then technology final bullet point under responsibility needs to state turned off and stored in an electronic device lock box and that again goes with uh some of the things that we're talking about with managing technology updated bell schedule and ICM bell schedule arrival and dismissal I'm not going to bore you to death but those are just changes on the times. Contacting SMS. Parents can contact SMS by phone. Uh it will delete the fax number.

071I'm going to guess that they don't get very many faxes anymore. Um that's kind of typical. Uh add a transportation handbook link. We've done that with our our handbooks to try and help with folks that have those questions. Update the box on tardies and it lists the consequences. Update the policy JBE to current policy of 10 absences per year before they're become unexcused unless there is mitigating circumstances. Update the progressive discipline policy to align closely with Seaman High School. Bags and backpacks must remain in the students locker between 7:45 a.m. Again, it's a timing issue. Updated the electronic cell phone policy. Remove statement failure of math and English and remove archery club and future cities from athletics activities as those are no longer there at the high school. Again, updating board members, updating the bell

072schedule, added foreign exchange student policy, aerosols and allergies policy and transportation handbook. Again, felt linked to transportation. Add the two post-secary assets to grad requirements for 2028 and beyond that allows students time to adjust. and also added a statement about seniors must complete their IPS in order to participate in graduation ceremony. Added additional courses with weighted grades. Added language to advisory about the IPS requirement to participate in graduation. Update language for lockers. >> Yes. >> Yep. >> IPS individual >> individual plans of seven. >> Okay. Yep. Thank you. >> That's all right. I sometimes I'll get throwing those out there and I don't even realize I've said, >> you know, I can't ever keep that one straight because it's had three names now. >> It has. It has. >> Um, again, add transportation handbook under

073school buses, update student and good standing definition, cell phone, electronic device, update extracurricular list, update dance policy, and then an addendum to the high school is the Pleasant Hill campus. uh handbook because they are a little bit unique as you guys know. And really the changes are on number two. Students should wear shirts under their jackets and hoodies as all outer will outerwear will be removed and checked during our check-in procedures. Wouldn't necessarily think you'd have to do that, but that's one of those things that has to happen. adding tech and AirPods, uh, purses and bags, and then students may not return to or have access to the security room between checkin and dismissal. Uh, leaving during this, >> do I talk about smart watches? uh leaving during the school day. Strike written and put

074verbal requests from parent or guardian and strike when the note is presented to the staff when parent contacts the school office before the student misses a class or leaves campus. Uh on four, students must not and strike out park only in the southwest parking lot away from staff and school and instead listed as they need to park in a numbered spot. Uh breakfast, lunch, >> is that assigned number? >> They will they will have numbers at the building. Yes. uh add outside snacks and drinks to the breakfast and lunch information. Uh strike, it is recommended that money be put in the students account for the week on Monday mornings. Um that seemed to be a challenge and add all food brought into Pleasant Hill Learning Campus must be sealed and screened by building staff or

075security. Students are welcome to bring snacks to PHLC. Snacks should be sealed, single serving size, and should not need to be prepared in a microwave refrigerator. Students may bring one snack for the morning and one snack for the afternoon. Fountain drinks and unsealed beverages are not allowed at PHLC. And then some changes with the wellness opportunities. the wellness room. Uh strike must be monitored by staff when in use to is monitored via camera when in use. Walking break. There are designated areas on camp for students to walk it off if they are escalated or need a break. These areas include the black top and south hallway. Students are expected to stay in the designated areas if they are using this strategy, obviously with supervision. Lunch detention. Level one and two behaviors will often result in

076lunch detention. Students serving lunch detention will not eat in the cafeteria with their peers. Office and school suspension rooms strike in ISS. Students will be asked to complete a restorative practice think sheet and make execute a plan for returning to class. That seemed to seem to be something that caused students to escalate having to do that. Out of school suspension is a last resort and will be used when the behavior is too disruptive for the school environment for the school to function or with the behaviors that have created an unsafe situation. The restorative room students in the restorative room are serving long-term suspensions. Students must go through the hearing process to be placed in the restorative room. If students are demonstrating regular office managed behavior, a parent meeting or an IEP meeting will be held.

077develop a contract, problem solving behaviors, or discuss placement. Uh, and then a link to the other handbooks, one for the middle school, one for the high school in addition to transportation and technology, and after you guys approve all those, those links will be added. It is a plenty of stuff for you to look at and I know we won't vote on this until next month, but that gives you a month to do that. And if you got questions, certainly feel free to email me and I'll get the answers for you. Anything else right now? >> Doesn't look like it. >> Okay, >> moving on. Handbook. Hannah, >> don't have a whole lot with this. Just some simple edits. Um, if you'll go with me to page five there. Scroll down. Okay. So, just editing some

078stuff right there. Cleaning it up on vice president. president. Um, and again, Keith added in there. And then on page seven, uh, just making this part here more generic. Um, removing Marty. Sorry, Marty. Um, from that. Yeah, I know. Um, that way we don't have to go back to this and continue to edit year after year. So, simple one there. Okay, page 18, Jeff. Uh, similar thing there. We've got our director of health services, uh, named in that with some information, Marty again with HR, um, and Jenny Bogs, admin assistant in there. So just removing specific names, um using more generic titles and putting phone numbers in there so we don't have to do this year after year. And then down to page 21. Okay. So, um, looking at, uh, this here, we need, we

079were wanting to, um, make this more equivalent to what is in the certified staff and just make it more equitable for classified staff with that 100 days from 50 to 100. Um, and then also changing that rate equal to 70% of the employees regularly hour um, hour rate per normally scheduled day instead of 50% a column. Um, moving forward, this is just going to make things much cleaner for finance and payroll. Um, and calculating some of these compensations. Then also moving down a page, uh, when it comes to sick leave buyback, there's a few different options. Um, in that option two there, um, that was 70% starting pay for colony me and we're just bumping that up to 80% once again to make that more equitable, uh, comparatively to certified staff. Okay, page 23. So

080this is this is one of those things that has been in practice um just hasn't been updated yet in the policy. So at the conclusion of each year any of that unused personal leave is automatically converted to the employee sick leave accumulation. We've been practicing that just haven't updated that which >> standard. >> Yes sir. So out of just so they got a 100 hours already accumulated. If they don't use all their their days, they just lose that then. >> Uh I think we can go up to a total of hours of accumulation. So which looking at this one here? >> Well, it was earlier >> previous one, the buyback. >> Yeah. So we give employees. if they're at their 100 maxed out whatever it is 120 and they don't use all their their personal

081days. >> So that'll roll over. Now they they can buy back though in their sick leave at so at the end of every year we provide certified and classified employees who meet that threshold to buy back a certain amount of days. they'll get paid. >> And so, yeah, they'll get paid at a rate. Okay. >> Yeah, they'll get paid for that. And you're really not going to lose any money unless you um are super maxed out and you're not taking any days at all. >> Okay. >> There there might be a slight chance of that, but we have not seen it yet. >> So, they have the option. >> Yes, sir. Yep. >> Um page 24. Um in addition to this, um what I understand you guys have already approved this. This is just updating

082that information to classified staff so that you'll see that it mimics more of the 12-mon classified staff that you guys have already approved and >> I think that's it. >> That is it. >> Pretty straightforward. Any questions? Sir Smith, I did hear somebody say on page five there might be a picture that needs to be removed. >> That has been requested to stay. So swab deonair is what I think was told to me. >> No, that has to stay there. Sorry, sir. >> So >> we can move that now. >> Nope. Thank you, Tanner. Uh, moving on. Curriculum and instruction report. Marty is Megan. >> Yeah, I am. Uh, obviously you have the her report in front of you and that'll be much more enlightening than I will be, but I will give you just

083a couple of quick sentences on it. Uh, things shift more to planning for this time of year for the next school year. Megan included a list of summer tasks. Discovery Kindergarten at Kansas Children's Discovery Center. New staff tech and HR orientation. There's another one. They had one last week and there's another one in July. Summer work sessions ka and letters facilitator training. If you've got real specific questions, you can certainly ask, but I'm going to strongly encourage that we reach out to Megan for a much better answer than I will probably be able to give you. Any questions for Marty that he will relay to Megan? >> Okay. >> And you've got the other part of that is the instructional collaboration warnings. And again, I'll just touch on this. You had asked a few months

084ago uh about more information about instructional collaboration warnings and how things would work. Megan put together that presentation far better than any presentation than I think I've ever put together in my life. and it will serve as a guide and answer questions that were there and that were asked. Um, we're not asking the board to approve that, but because you guys had asked that question, she wanted to make sure that you had uh that information and just to it's got shared vision, it's got schedules, it's got uh what research says, guidelines for success, consistency statement across buildings, attendance and accountability, collaboration locations and morning routines, team purposes and responsibilities, uh self-correcting feedback loop, collaboration agendas and calendars being data driven standards alignment success measures and answers to the frequently asked questions that happened during the

085uh focus groups. Any questions that I probably will stumble through that you have on any of that? >> No, please thank Megan for the >> I thank it was thank >> it actually was really really good. did a good job. >> All of it. It did answer a lot of the questions that we had. >> It did. >> Thank you, Marty. >> Miss Dedra, special services report. >> Hello, everyone. >> Hello. >> I would like to talk about the autism resource team. So, Seaman's autism resource team has always been TW trained through TASN, which is the technical assistant network through KSDP. They provide wonderful trainings for the um ART teams across Kansas. They were created years ago um when autism became very prevalent and no one knew what to do with students with autism. So

086um the purpose of that team was to train teams of people in each district to recognize autism, give an educational diagnosis and then train individual needs of students with autism. So our team of about eight people would go around for individual students and train the teams in regard to their autism. So the um that's what we've done for years. It's not sustainable because of so many students with autism. So they've shifted their focus um starting next year to um focus on being a trainer train the trainer model and build capacity amongst all of the teachers so that we don't we're not looking at individual students but all of our teachers. So this summer they're having a big um autism institute which some of our team is going to and then they'll be training all year

087long. So we'll provide more professional development, new professional development for all of our teachers rather than just small group of teachers to be trained. So we're excited about that. We hope we can build capacity amongst our teachers um in the area of autism. So that is something new that's going to happen this year. I think we had some questions in regards to um my last item on the report. If you keep going down, Jeff, which is the preschool screening datas, the preschool screening data. So, if you look at I have this year's data and last year's data if you have any questions. So, I asked Sarah Cruz, the principal, to give me data on every single screener. So across the bottom is every single monthly screener that we had at MEL. And um if you

088look at the blue, those are the students that were referred for comprehensive evaluations for special education. SPK is those are the students that for the SPK program, state preschool program. And then the yellow is the students that qualified in the community student program. Um, for your information, not all of the kids could come on campus because we didn't have slots for all of them. The comprehensive evaluations did, but the other ones did not. As you see, by the end March, April, May um we had similar screenings last year and um not very many of those students can start because we're full by then. But those are the breakdown. Is that what you were thinking, Diane? I wasn't sure what I was looking at was the question was I didn't know exactly like are these the

089number of kids we're screening or the number of kids we're screening who qualify and that's where >> those are like for example the first line if you see it was two kids and seven and seven kids we screened 16 students and of those 16 students that is the area in which they qualified under um for our preschool students is it true that only the blue ones are necessarily qualifying for an IEP Yeah. Well, they're being evaluated for an IEP and we've kind of changed our philosophy. It is really hard to decide this kid should be qualified for an IEP in a 4-hour screening when it's a three-year-old or a four-year-old. So, we often put them on campus if they qualify for SBA or maybe even a community student, but we'd rather get them on campus

090if we have a question and then evaluate them maybe a couple months later, especially if they haven't had any early intervention. So we like to get them on campus provide a little early intervention and then see if they a compre sometime a comprehensive evaluation sometimes you just know that the child is because of kiddos later on in the year who we don't have spots for them anymore are those kids placed on any type of list for as we're going into regular school year or for the next year. >> Okay. Okay. >> Yes. we get as many and and of course we honestly the students on IUP 100% whether the class is full or not we have to give you a slot um SPK students say free preschooler next and then community students are mostly going

091through waiting list but we do have students and state prek that end up on our waiting list as well thank you welcome thank you any other questions thank you miss Lance Hey Jeff, could you bring me a paper towel? My water is sweating and it starting to drive me crazy. >> It is. >> I don't want it to get wet. Sorry. >> Thank you, sir. I appreciate you. >> I apologize. Hello. >> Bringing in from Logan Elementary. We finished up here a couple weeks ago. Um, we use quite a few bags to fill in that area. We had to order another round, but this is the French product of the canopy lo where the fieldhouse used to be. >> Thank God for the letter. It moved a lot of mulch for us that we didn't

092have to. >> Yeah. >> And then second floor, these are the guys, Paul's floors. They were coming in and changing out a floor. If you leave. You can swim by the second floor. It's completely done in the hallway, the main hallway. But yeah, they uh spent about two and a half almost three hours the first time and then they spent the last part almost a day and a half trying to pull that carpet. We can see right now the machine that they had in there was absolutely how it went. Other than that, that was >> it wasn't ter terribly high-tech, so you might be able to build one. >> No, I was to say it it but it was >> did it job >> pulling up that carpet. So, pretty much the month of May

093was pretty quiet because the end of the school year, graduation was getting everything ready for everybody. That was the two of the main projects that we were trying to get done. Are we doing the rest of the floors? Oh, >> that one was particularly bad in spots. >> Gotcha. >> So, >> are you doing a stairs >> eventually stairs will probably >> Yeah, >> I got eight downstairs to do start up here on four up here on third floor. So, we'll have apartments and summer projects. officially started. So, couple of things have been moved on me that's making me a little stressful, but it's okay. >> Just know sir. >> Thank you. >> All right, moving on to action items. Mr. Marty, we are looking at end of leaf. >> Absolutely. Uh, if you'll remember,

094Ronnie gave a great presentation a few months ago and one of the things that she talked about was staying up to date and having the right buses and the right number of buses. Uh, we are recommending that, you'll notice that there are four on there. We only need three. And I'm not going to tell you which one of the three because I'm going to let her determine which ones based on the VIN. She's the one that knows that for certain. But we are asking for you to approve three of the aforementioned bus leases that end. We can make those purchases for 37,75 per bus for a total of 113,115. We're coming to you with this now because the leases expire June 30 and we either have to renew for another year on the lease or

095we purchase them. They're 2020 buses, so we should get quite a bit of life left out of pretty good deal for us. Any questions for me and it is budgeted for out of capital outlay part of the long range planning facility. >> I have just a a question mark if you know how much have we paid on a lease and the purchase price compared to if we would have bought them five years ago. If we would have bought them originally, we would save money buying them out, which is what we try to do now. been doing >> at that time based upon where we were at with the amount of money we had in capital outlay and some other issues that were going on. It was the timing to get as many buses as we

096needed forced us into a position where we got leases as opposed to right now Ron's got us at a pretty good spot where we're ideally if we bought one to two buses a year, this being kind of a weird exception. And we will come to you probably next month. Uh we received the grant uh the VW grant and we're going to be able to uh purchase uh three buses at the cost of a little over one. So when we can get those things that helps but it's taken some time to get there. Yes, absolutely. It would have been cheaper in the long haul to have not leased them. Any more questions for Marty? >> So I qu one more. Do we have any more leases out there? >> I would have to check with R.

097I think we still have a a few that are still >> not very many. Just curious. >> We tried to phase those out and get those gone. The first ones were like 2018. And again, part of the restriction, too, is you only got so many miles before it costs us more on those leases. So, it becomes problematic. Again, if you're in a bind and financially you need to do that, it it can save you money in the short term. Over the long term, it is not the way to go. So, request to buy three buses. >> Yes. >> And let one lease go, >> right? >> Yes. >> We only need three of the four. >> One of those four does say has an end date of 5:30. So, I'm going to assume that that

098one's already taken care of. >> Yeah, probably. >> All right. Just need a motion. >> I make a motion to approve. Second. >> It's been moved by Keith, seconded by Diana. Any more discussion on it? Hearing none. All in favor raise your hand and say I. >> Oppose. Same sign. Motion carries. Is it still you, Marty? >> Yep. >> Still me. >> As you may have been aware, a vehicle drove through the wall at Logan Elementary a while ago. Uh what you see are two bids for the permanent repairs to the building. We were fortunate that at Logan it hit between two support beams and really you wouldn't have thought it and when you see the pictures you would have thought it was pretty extensive damage. However, because it hit at the perfect spot I

099mean and no one was in the classroom. Um we're it doesn't the cost to repair it isn't going to be as much as what we feared it would be. Uh we've got two bids. We've got one for Murray and Suns for 55,000 and we've got one for Cinei for 29,687. Uh we would recommend approving the bid from Cinei as we continue to work with our insurance company keeping in mind we have a $25,000 deductible. But Ciney is who we would recommend on that bid. >> Where are the exclusions between the two? Where's the difference? >> It was the masonary. I can say that I suspect that Murray and Suns bid was not with the thought that they truly wanted to do the work this summer. we will we will bid this but you want to

100pay this amount we will go ahead and do it but not necessarily one that they were >> so the scope of both bids is essentially the same >> but the masonry on semis is much less >> by a lot >> by about 17,000 something like I just want to first say thank you for taking care of the problem as efficiently as you and your team did. >> Yeah, >> great job. Um, I will long as my director of facilities is support of it. It's bid or a cine bid. >> I make a motion to approve the sine bid. >> Second been moved by Keith, seconded by Michelle. Any more discussion, questions? >> What has it always been called? The Senny company. >> Not always. Is that the like a name of somebody? It's not the

101Sen River in France. >> No, it's Bruceini. >> It's not a relevant question. >> I drive by that place a lot. I'm like, >> the time to learn is always a good time. >> So, it gets an >> Okay. Um, all in favor raise your hand and say I >> All in favor, raise your hand and say I. >> I. Oppose. the same sign mentioning carries. >> You lost us. >> I did Marty in New Creek. >> We uh also had a vehicle drive through the wall in Indian Dean Creek. Uh that was a little bit earlier though. >> Yeah, that like >> that was like a week or so. >> Anybody know insurance for that? Through the wall insurance. >> Yeah, I think we're we're going to look into that. >> No, it's been

102cheap at construct. You'll see that the two bids for the repairs that will leave the building structurally sound. And that's the key. >> Murray and Suns has a bid for 27,331 and Ciney has a bid for $173,067. Now, we would recommend approving the bid from Cine as we work with our insurance company. Again, it's a $25,000 deductible. Now, one of the things that we have done is we did have uh the same company that tore down the fieldhouse, we had them take a look and see what would it cost to do that. We actually got part of the bid uh or some numbers in uh less than what he originally had said, but it's still pretty substantial. to tear the entire building down would cost more than what these repairs would and that would be

103with the assumption that they're not going to get anything as far as uh asbestous dissipatement or anything like that that will increase the cost. Um, at this point, we would recommend that we go with the bid from Cinei, even though there would be some benefits to tearing the building down and being rid of it, uh, it would go off of our insurance from the standpoint of it costs us more for that building than it would if it was just a vacant lot. >> But at this point, I think we >> that doesn't involve the center, right? It's just a sale. >> We're just fixing one building correctly >> and to make certain that it is structurally sound to >> The county value of that building >> nothing because they don't they don't appraise those in

104the same way. I don't know why, but some of those ones that have no taxes, they don't their appraisal is way below actual value. a little bit of experience now. >> Yeah. Not sure why that's so low. We don't know what the county appraisal value is. >> Do you have a estimate of what they were saying to tear the whole thing down? >> Give me a rough. >> It was about around 200,000. Yeah, I would agree with that. And most of the truck $5 gas, >> right? >> So 200 >> versus 173, >> right? But his bid is is is is dependent upon some factors that we won't know until they would start to >> what they disappoint. >> And I suspect with the age of the building and everything, I think it would be

105I would be surprised if they didn't have some additional costs that they're going to have to pay. So what is the building used for right now? Storage >> storage >> and it's big outreach. >> So really not >> not educational purposes. >> I think the last two interested parties that have looked at it as far as the potential to sell it. Um >> Indian Creek >> did not get back with us after we >> How much of that lane? How much is >> there is a lot of It is almost a zip >> improvement value. It's 80,000 per land. >> How many acres are there? Like 20 acres, something like that. >> Is it's an L shape if is that right? It goes back and there's a another shed or something acres. >> Nine acres

106the last column. My question to talk about this would be, what is our long-term plan for that building before we spend $175,000 to fix a building that we don't >> use or want and eventually are going to tear it down, >> right? Keep in mind, we would only be spending $25,000 because insurance still. >> However, >> if we paid to tear it down, it's all on us, right? even rock if the the thing to keep in mind is if it's there two things one it's a claim which impacts your overall rate which this year right now we >> did great >> but our property and casualty insurance which we pay about $725,000 a year for >> how much does that impact it uh the the second thing is then we still have a building that

107is being covered by the insurance and that is more expensive than what it is if we just had a vacant lot or sold the lot. >> So they're going to do this work in just over a week and a half. >> It's five hours. >> Did it get into the roof? Did anything sag in the roof? So that's part of the building. So when we first started this doing that was located for a period of time and now extended itself to we had to move that six. So question two is the guy who ran into it that stole the truck is his insurance company on the hook. Could be. Wasn't he uninsured? I was gonna say I thought he wasn't insurance. >> I'm sure our insurance company will try to go after something from him

108his insurance or something. >> Yes, they will. I I know they will. >> To follow up on that though, >> hearing what Marty said, we seaman USD345 responsible for $25,000 of this cost. Are we is is the insurance going after the 25,000 or is the insurance going after the 172 >> insurance going after this much? >> Yeah. >> Way on the Logan going to go after >> whoever does not impact our bottom line. >> It doesn't impact our bottom line. >> Well, the worst case reimburse from the >> It won't be a hickey against us. It shouldn't be, >> right? The the worst case scenario is it costs us $25,000 for each building >> and we take a hit on claims on our claims if they if they're not able to recover anything. >> Yes,

109>> that's the worst case scenario. We know the best ran into Logan is was she covered? Was she unsure? >> She had insurance and in theory that should be covered. >> That is what our hope is. Yeah. Let me take this conversation a little different direction. Logan is an occupied learning institution. >> It needs to be Yeah. >> We don't have a lot of choice to >> Right. >> I'm not really a proponent of spending $25,000 for this. What I'm My question next to you, sir, is is it watertight? Is it sealed up? Is there in if we push this off a little bit? What's it going to do to allow us a little more time to determine what the future of this building looks like? The engineers concern was that it's going to take

110some guests of wind. Not that that ever happens in the state of Kansas and some rain which really doesn't always happen in the state of Kansas but >> but we've had a lot um recently >> and yeah >> that that that especially the old gym area is not structurally safe right now. We've had it blocked off and North Topa Outreach we don't let them go in there. We took everything out of there. Lance Mias did a great job of getting everything into a different section of the building which is secure but that section of the building it would be the question mark. We don't have to get in a hurry but we would have to make a decision at some point. Do we do we tear it down or do we fix it? >> So

111did you ask me personally what it would cost to do just the gym? >> Kyle, Donna and Diane. >> Say that again. cost more outside 35 30 bucks a square foot, >> right? >> Donna has a question. >> So if demolition's happening, it should basically be the whole building. >> Yeah, probably. If we're going to do that, we had them look at both ways, >> right? >> But I I think Lance and I would you you would never break Lance and I's heart if you said, you know, we need need to raise the entire building and and drop it. But it is a matter of cost and this was a building we had an off a few years ago and we tried decided not to. >> Maybe. >> Yeah. >> Where do you go with

112all the stuff? >> Hold on. Hold, hold on. Diana had a question. I'm trying to organize it. Okay. >> Diana had a question >> just briefly. This is kind of evolving into a conversation about what we do with that building long term. And we do have a board retreat coming up. Would this be something that we should have a longer conversation about with more information from our team? >> Unfortunately, our board retreat, we only have two hours and it is the agenda is full. >> Okay. Um, so I yeah, unfortunately we'll have to have the conversation now. >> So back to So I guess I look at this and I think, okay, so we fix this building now and five years down the road, we're still holding on to this building and paying premiums on

113it. So do we spend the money now or do we just drag this out? is is going to cost four five years from now. >> Yes. And so would it be a reasonable uh to get an up to date? I don't know how recent your estimate was. >> That's last week. >> You just got one last week. >> May 28. >> Oh, >> for to raise the whole building. >> Okay. and we can get a specific number on that and have him do a more thorough inspection to try and see if there's going to be >> determinant abatement. >> I was just trying to get all this done. >> Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I figured >> Yes, Kyle. >> So, if we do scrape it down to dirt, parking lot, everything, get it all. What's our

114plan then? to sell the property to somebody to build a couple houses on it or keep the property for >> Did you I guess you guys if you'll remember we brought this to you about two years ago >> and about a million dollar >> offer at that time the board was not interested in selling. I was I was >> I was >> Yes, I am. >> No, somebody wants to buy. >> I think so. >> Going back to that conversation, I think we had concerns of people invading our community, which I Anyway, we don't need to go from there. Michelle, >> is that I get where you're going to, >> but is that something that we can we don't need to know what we're going to do with it right now? >> We don't. And

115and vacant property in this district is very valuable. might be smart to keep it because we don't know what future we'd want for our own use >> and to pay we don't pay property tax on it because it's so our insurance would be very minimal. So to have a nine acres of empty dirt would be very cheap for us to keep >> there's a barn or something. >> Yeah it but that can't be much insurance on it. >> Yeah. I've never been back there, but it's it's >> but less insured, less electricity, less water, less gas. >> Yes. Yes. >> You know, have all that. >> Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. >> We maintain it to keep it from terating faster. >> Any building that's empty, it's going to deteriorate. >> It's going to Yeah. >>

116And it's been a decade since that's been used. I wasn't on the board when we had the conversations previously, but I do know that when we were discussing with with Rochester, there was a lot of community sentiment about that. Are there equal concerns with Indian Creek? Kyle, you want to know more? >> Well, there was supposedly, and we'd have to go back and check, maybe I don't know when we closed those schools that they would be used for student education type purposes only. when we sold and somebody tore down Rochester that I don't know how that happened supposedly. I that was before me. I don't know all the detail. >> I don't know. >> But we we sold Rochester to somebody and they took a bulldozer in there and got rid of it. >> Well,

117for um a while Indian Creek had Boys and Girls Club there, right? >> And then >> now it's at the schools, right? >> Yes. >> But and they're using it for storage though. Right. Is all their It's just >> No, I mean not. >> There you go. >> But they aren't doing any distribution or anything out of there. >> Oh, they are. >> That's where they build their backpacks. >> Not during the summer, but that's what they do during the school. Yeah. >> And people pick them up there? >> No, they take them to the buildings. >> Okay. Right. So, it's not like they couldn't use another facility. of >> but even with that that's and I don't want to sound callous but that's not a district education um that's not part of our educating

118our students you know >> it's a good community service >> it's a community service but I don't know that's a reason >> nowhere else for them to go >> yes and I don't know if that's a reason to keep an old building >> me not knowing anything about like he does cuz he works with it every day. It makes more sense to tear it down. I mean to fix one wall in a building that >> and certainly we did wait >> don't use >> we could get a more specific bid >> that would be awesome >> and come back next month. It's not something we have to do now because we're not using the building other than storage. >> More specific bid on raising it. >> Correct. Yes. >> That way you have you have

119things to compare it to. >> So if the wind blows just right and we get the 5 in rain, how much more will >> Exactly. That's what I was getting ready to say like >> probably taking it. >> Is that going to go up to 300,000 or >> maybe? Well, we started >> and now we're to six >> because those are wooden beams that hit like what month? >> Like April. >> April like 20. >> Yeah. >> Around somewhere around there. >> Keith, did you have a comment? >> My question is to the director of our facilities. Hearing everything you've heard, what would you do right now? right now >> this >> hearing our conversation >> longterm. >> Yes. >> And I make a recommendation that we push this to next month as an action

120item to allow time for a decamping cost for this facility. >> Get a hold of Shannon. I second. >> Been moved and seconded. Any more discussion, questions for Lance and Marty. Okay, we don't we have to vote on they made a motion, but it's just a discussion and it's moving to next month. >> This is a discussion. I thought I'm sorry >> this was an action but no action to like you said pumped it the next month >> and we know he knows to do you think you are you comfortable getting us the numbers by next month >> yeah only reason I did it try to get it >> I appreciate everything you've done >> I just really am struggling >> will you also be a I know this is just very small considering the

121Kansas weather we just don't know but if you see any other damage or issues, will you just let Mr. Wilson know so then he can inform us? >> I go over this. >> He's a good communicator. >> So, can I add to that request that if we were ever going to put that building back into service? >> Oh, jeez. >> I mean, that would Do we have any guesstimate on what that that would cost? be astronomical. >> Okay. So that's >> hasn't just >> what seven years ago, eight years ago to redo the roof. It's almost like 175 185,000. >> HBAC is probably >> that's our that's what I'm saying is if we wanted to try to make that into a learning center school, >> it would be cheaper for us to build than it

122would be. >> That would always be my recommendation. Even if it weren't more expensive, you would get more value out of it. >> Sure. And it' be built >> whatever. Yeah. >> Yeah. Okay. >> Okay. >> Just to double check, we don't have to vote on anything. We're punting it to July. >> Right. With more information with no action. >> No, we no action. Sweet >> policy updates, Mr. Wilson. >> Um, thank you. I got them here somewhere. >> Thank you, Lance. Thank you, Marty. >> You've got JCDC, student personal electronic communication devices, and you guys have uh talked about that, but this is a more general um KSB um policy that allows us then to have our actual practices within that. are uh KFE, Kansas Public Offender Registry, which we talked about uh last

123time about ensuring that we do not if possible um allow individuals who are on the public offender registry in our buildings. And then IGC is staff online activities, which is a second piece of House Bill um 2299. Did I get that number right? Anyway, not not important, but ensures that we have safe communications between staff and students and not over public social media areas >> on track. >> Yeah, unttrackable. It's a good way to put it. >> So, I do have a question. >> Yes. >> So, on the public offender registry, I know this is just a >> but do we need what is our policy or what are we going to do? Joe Smith walks in the office. Do we have a policy in place on how we're going to check that? What what

124the what the procedure is or >> and where that would not go in necessarily board policy, but that would go into our crisis uh handbook. >> Okay. Okay. >> Where that would go. >> Perfect. Okay. >> And Candace, when is that back to the board again? Do you know? >> I don't know if we've ever voted. That's just something we keep update on our >> and we just bring it to executive session every once in a while for you them to look at. Okay. Okay. >> That's fine. I just this was pretty general and I just wanted to make sure. >> Yeah. >> But you know what? If I walk into like when I went read at Elmont I walked into the office and I gave my license and she did the scentic thing every

125time I went there. >> But I think that's only for volunteers, isn't it? >> Is it is that is >> No, that is that is for a normal guest. the place that we're >> would that's what >> what we're still working on is so like a football game. You're not going to check everybody that goes into a football game. >> Not probably even going to do a high school basketball game. But when we're talking about a music >> Okay. >> event. We we tried it at uh Northern Hills earlier this year. I think there was an hourish wait. >> Wasn't that for sixth grade promotion? that made it as well. Sixth grade promotion, they did it as well. It was that was maybe not quite an hour. Was that 45 minutes? Maybe >> 30 3

126something in that. So, we've got to figure something that is we don't always check every single person. And so, we're still working on the practice. This policy would cover that. >> So, can we come up with something that is a I'm going to say a parent pass that I have a kid at. You talked about that as >> you know and you get a pass that said I'm a parent of of little Joe here and >> and I've been checked >> and yeah >> it would have to be that I've been checked >> that yeah you always have that problem the guy with the past but >> well the argument is not just the the person with the past but you can be put on that registry at any time. >> Good point. Yeah. So

127there are some challenges but it we've got to at some point find something that is reasonable. >> What do other schools do? >> Uh most of them in the super large scale things they do not check them. Um, I'm trying to remember. I think it's Spring Hill. We tried to do um if they were in the building, um, not not the gym, but in the in the hallway area like, uh, sometimes we would do for a Halloween. >> We would still have them checked. Um, you don't have as much access to an afterchool, right, >> event that you would have if they're in class. So, um, I've seen that be, but we've been talking and Marty, you may have more information on what they've talked about than I do. >> Obviously, the sporting events and

128things like that, but middle school and high school are not reasonable. And at this point, the elementary principles, we will take the same approach for all those that happen during the school day. Uh, we will attempt to go ahead and we want to something consistent across all of them. >> Yeah. >> When people come in for things, they're going to be checked. And again, because they could be on the list later, we'll also utilize if we've got something that's going to be larger, we can't use more than one computer for the synthetics at a time because there are complications with that. But what we can do is use the KBI registry and we can use that on the other computers and that other building as well. But uh we'll also have each one of the

129elementary buildings will have let's say a sixth grade promotion they parents or people that are attending will come into a staged area so that we can try and uh expedite them being brought through as quickly and some. But we'll try to match it similarly to what the secondary does as far as after school events probably not be able to do that and we'll have to refine things to go. I think about the fact that two years ago we didn't have any system other than the volunteer system. So we are still in an evolutionary stage of that and where we are today probably not as defined as we will be even sebastian >> which is exactly to your point of why the board policy is general yet the practice will probably evolve and change all the

130time. >> Okay. >> You got so many variables. a few it's over everything we do there's something right >> I mean you got parent student conferences >> it's one that keep you know >> person's on the list they probably have the right to go talk to their teacher >> they do >> I mean it's but how do you >> they're going to an IEP >> or yeah I mean there's a bunch of >> there's there's some purple things but those are fairly easy to take care of >> those are oneoffs we can make arrangements to know that they are on the list yet we make arrangements for them to have them be not around other kids. So as part of that policy, whether it's a schoolboard policy or the procedures, >> if somebody knowingly let

131somebody come in and know those are on the registry, >> what do we need to make sure that we have a consequence for that? So you don't put consequence in board polic but in our >> so everything we do for employees >> and breaking board policy has potential consequences with HR. In fact when we talk about having right abs we access what board policy was broken in that action. Um and almost every action that we have um employee discipline for we can trace back to a board policy that was broken or a handbook policy procedure that was broken. Um and so yes certainly on that we just wouldn't necessarily write it in but before this policy or actually currently right now there is no policy that says they can't be here which was a surprise

132to me. We have bill discussed. >> Yes. Three of them actually. Yeah. I think one was Senate and two were House. >> Yep. >> I move that we accept the policy updates as presented. >> Moved by Michelle. >> Donna beat you on a second.
