Can Ben vote? >> Yeah, he can. >> Okay. Sorry. I'll lie. Ben, you can vote. Motion carries. Five to zero. Okay. Uh Clark County Public Schools recognitions. Hello everyone. We're very excited to move into a different way of doing our recognitions. Our district is leaning into the competencies of the portrait of Clark County Learner and so we are now tying our recognitions into those competencies. So we're very excited to introduce that tonight. And our first person, come on up. >> Good evening. >> So, the custodial team at Flure has demonstrated outstanding collaboration working seamlessly to support our shared vision of
003a clean, safe, and welcome welcoming environment for the upcoming community project. This proactive approach and dedication to maintaining this facility has been instrumental in creating a space where all community young and old can thrive. We are grateful for their tireless effort as a cornerstone of the positive and cohesive Clark County Public Schools community efforts we are building all together. If you would please help me in congratulating Mr. Jeremy Banks as a committed collaborator and Miss Natasha Codle as a committed collaborator this evening. Oh, go ahead. >> These two are instrumental in our work. It's amazing what they have helped do. >> All right. Ready? All right. >> Thank you guys very much. [Music] >> I appreciate you. We also have a committed collaborator as well. If you all remember, we started the Briter committee last
004year with clubs at Baker Concright. And in order to make those 27 clubs and the eight clubs we have going right now at Conrite, it is instrumental in this pivotive. I just can't even say how much she does. And Amazon must pull up here and think, what is Cassie Bucket doing right now because it takes a lot to make all the fat work happen in order to make those clubs successful with kiddos and teachers and it's just amazing. If you've not been a baker from 240 to 4 or at conquerite from 245 to 4, you've got to come. They are just doing a magnificent job with our kiddos. But Cassie makes everything work. Her her role is a success. Uh she tackles the monument with unseen smiles and she just makes it happen. I know
005when she sees my name come across an email, she's like, "Oh Lord, what are we what are we ordering now?" But all of that back work has to happen before all the good and greatness starts. And without her, it could not happen. So without um her and her back behind the scenes, I don't even have words for you, sweetheart. You're just wonderful. And we can't make it happen without you. Thank you so very much. Congratulations. >> Miss Bush, before you sit down, I had a question. I noticed you done the softball tournament thing. How many teams you got turned up? >> We are doing a softball. We have eight. >> Eight teams. >> Great. >> We have a municipal company. We have the police department. We have the Clark County Public Schools. Look at Mr.
006Kenny back here, our coach. We have five that have signed up. It is very exciting. I just thought we were going to play for fun, but obviously there's a whole lot of competition in this. Look at Mr. But I'm sorry I got off, but I signed up. >> Thank you. Hello everyone. It's my turn. Um, so I nominated Bob William and Bob William exemplifies empowered leadership through the calm and steady way. He stepped into additional additional additional responsibilities of the Cardinal Innovation Center, specifically Phoenix Academy during my father's passing. He led with integrity and compassion, ensuring that both staff and students felt supported and that operations continued smoothly in my absence. His ability to rise to the moment, take initiative, and care for people while maintaining high standards shows the true mark of an empowered
007leader, and I want to personally thank him very, very much. Thank you, Mr. Appreciate you. Awesome. Latoya Gordon, RDC athletic. Yes. Uh my name is Latoya Gordon. Um, I am here on behalf of some concerns that I have with the RDC. Um, football especially. Um, my son was discriminated against several times. Um, beginning of the school year, um, before football's even started, my son had a doctor's order from Shriners, um, to get physical therapy for his ankle. um he went to physical therapy where his football coach owns the therapist um and or that company um where he was getting his therapy. Um 603 they both entered the locker room at the same time. My son was denied his shoulder pads. They have to be in shoulder pad for 5 days for the KHSA guidelines before
008they can play in a scrimmage. Um, so he was denied his shoulder pads which would kick him out of his scrimmaging. Um, so he was not accommodated for his medical necessity needs. Um, after that he had a concussion, was not reported, didn't call the paramedics. They didn't know what type of injuries my son had. My son was unbalanced or he wasn't balanced, should I say. A kid actually called me and said, "Miss Miss Toya, um, I had to assist Perry off the field because, um, he couldn't hardly walk." So, what did they do with my son? They had my husband take him, fly past my job. I see him running red lights because my son was going in and out. Wasn't reported. took three days before they contacted Ariana to make a report about my
009son's injuries. Um, another thing is um we were asked to actually uh donate food um for pregame meals. Why? Why are we asked why are we being asked to donate food for pregame meals? That is their responsibility to feed them kids. They got fed three chicken nuggets and a half of a banana. This is what the kids are coming back telling me. That's not enough to get them through that football game. These boys, some of these boys are big boys. Three chicken nugget, four chicken nuggets, and a half of a banana. That is unacceptable. Unacceptable. And it shouldn't be. At the Moo game, they had a water bottle. Looks like it was for a go camping tape for about four people. The uh cooler had a leak at the bottom. They were picking up water
010bottles, used water bottles, filling up the cooler to fill up the jugs to hand it to the kids to drink. Unsanitary. Why is our students taking wheelbarls, shovels, and sand to fill up the holes that's in the football field? They're not employed. They're underage and it shouldn't be. These are the concerns that we have. We were told not to ask questions by the staff, by the coaches. Don't ask questions. You can't ask questions about your child. Every child is not the same. You have some kids that have disabilities. They're not playing the kids. I was asked, "Why are you not cuz I'm not going to be s Why why is my child not being played? My son has played football for six years." I was told, "Oh, it's because of his uh injuries. He's been
011off of protocol. Then I was told, "Oh, because he can't focus. He has ADHD." You would have known that my son has ADHD had you allowed me to speak and tell you about my son's needs. No, we were told not to ask any questions. We can't talk to you. They won't answer any questions. If you ask questions, it's deleted off the chat. Speaking of the chat, we ask questions in the chat, we get deleted, and then we get a nasty message sent to us. Um, I asked the AD, the new AD, Mr. Taylor. I said, "What is this chat for?" We were told it was for them to uh correspond with the students. Absolutely not. For the bill 181, they're not supposed to be contacting those kids through that team chat. It's against the law.
012Why? Why is the kids information and the kids contact they can be contacted? Why do they have access through this channel? And we've told I told them and it's still there. Nothing has been done. I told them my child I've got in the emails. You've discriminated against my child. You think anything was done? Nope. My son's now being retaliated against because they don't like it when you speak up. All this stuff is unacceptable and it shouldn't be. Should not be. This has been the absolute worst year of football. The worst. I'm highly disappointed. These kids self-esteem has been depened. Deped. Because they don't get played. They've been told, "You are to respect." It was three kids that they were told to respect because they carried the team as if they don't mean anything. It's wrong.
013They may not be the best player, but how do you expect them to win if you don't play them? If you don't treat these kids with love and kind, if you don't build a relationship with these kids, all they all they need is a little bit of love, a little bit of more attention, baby. But if you don't give it to them, but you respect them, expect them to respect you and you expect them to put you on a high pedestal, but you give them nothing. You give them nothing to work with. So those are the concerns that I have today for the RDC football. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Student Support Service consider approval of BG1 for renovation project at Baker Intermediate School and Robert B. Campbell Junior High School. Mr. Watkins. >>
014All right. So, you all received uh uploaded a copy of the BG1 form. Uh the first step in um identifying needs was the district facility plan. These are priority one um projects with Baker and RDC roof. And I'm going to ask Brian to come up. He's uh got a project or got a little bit of a presentation for the roof work. Um that's part of the project that he wants to share. Good evening. Um, I'm Brian with the Rawstar Architects. Um, we have Hey, >> I promise I will keep this very brief. Uh, I understand not everybody likes to talk about roofs as much as I do. Um, so what I'm going to do is give a kind of brief update on where we are in the process for both Baker and RDC um, and
015the strategies that we're using to kind of re- roof both those projects and we could touch on the RDC renovations very briefly. Um, just so you can go through them. Okay. So, over at Baker, um what we've been asked to take a look at is a full roof replacement at Baker due to the degradation, the discoloration, and the age of that roofing system. There's three different types of roofing on that building currently. You've got the staining seam metal system that you see in the kind of bluish greenish color there. Um there's an area that's spray foam and there's an area that has some PVC um insulation and those are you'll see that in the next slide. Um we're also looking at so this is um some of the information from our current documentation. Um on
016the right hand side you'll see the total overall roof plane of Baker. What you'll notice is that all this is all sandy seam where you have the vertical hatch lines. These areas here um in the between the wings. We've got a we've got HVAC equipment there. Um one side is spray foam, the other side is PVC. Um we will be removing both of those areas down to the substrate deck uh and replacing those with spray foam insulation currently is the plan. Um that will include new flashings of all the HVAC pieces. Um and then we're looking at for the main field of the roof, one of the complications we ran into initially is that in order to tear off that roof, all the existing insulation below it down to deck, we'd have to build back
017additional insulation to meet energy code. Um there's an easier way to go about that and that's to do an overlay system. So on the image here on the left you'll see we have the original stain se metal roof. We can slip in additional insulation and then overlay a new stenc metal roof over that. Still meets all the wind uplift requirements. The only thing that we will have to adjust is where the gutters are located on the exterior part of the building. They'll ri raise those up just a little bit to match. Um that saves you a ton of additional insulation uh on the building. We just uh have done a project recently like this uh down in Palaski County uh over a middle school as well. So that's currently the plan. That's what's pricing BG1
018for Baker. Flip to the next slide. >> And the snow loading that's >> all that's the same. That's all based on the substrate material. Um we would have the actual standing seam panel would be a better panel than what was originally installed. Um, we still have colorways um to choose from if you want to go back with a similar color on Baker um as the original one, but now that they use the the Gavaloom system, it's a lot it has a lot more color steadfastness over time. Um, switching over to RDC really quickly. So, this is the uh this is a drone image of RDC. You can see the variation on the roof um on the existing spray foam roofing system there. Um you'll note that there's areas in the roof that have that where
019they're newer um here at Rwing for instance and out of the uh media center. Just flip to the next one. So we had spray tech which is a spray foam roofing contractor come out and we did some initial roof cores. We took three cores over the course of the building. Um both of these they're all similar depth in terms of the building with a similar substrate below it. Um, the one that we really ran into an issue on here was roof core sample 3. It was saturated with water all the way through the the roof core sample. So, that's indicative of some of the comments that we've we've heard from the district in terms of where there's roof leaking occurring. Let's go to the next slide. >> And that's on that first wing like the
020closest to the roads. >> That is, that's correct. >> So, Spray Techch also came out and did a drone survey and an infrared scan uh via drone and then a handheld scan of the building. Um, this is the results of the IR scan. And so everything in yellow here in the building is where we have water infiltration all the way through the foam. So the yellow just when you think of like a heat scan, um, that's what it's picking up. So the areas again that we have newer roofing systems here in our wing, the media media center, the entrance, um, and on this back wing here, um, those areas were were pretty good. We are pricing for right now just to have a contractor come out and do the roof work to go ahead and
021do the entire building. We have the ability to back some of that out are in the areas here where we have proof from the scans that are probably okay for the time being. Um but in terms of the mobilization cost of the contractor, we just wanted to at least price the full amount first and we can we can discuss bringing that back. So we take this information on the next slide, Justin. So, we break these areas down where we need full replacement down to the deck on RDC. So, the areas in red are where we're going to require a full replacement down to the deck. Um, we're translating this information over into a set of documents for our contractor to review and you'll see that on the next slide. So, we have the overall roof
022plan and all all of our enlarged plans. We're actually encapsulating the areas that need to be removed um from the IR scan. So that's the pricing that's that's based off of their their estimate for the amount of work. They did a really thorough and in-depth review on the on the building. So next slide. And then last but not least, we have a series of miscellaneous renovations uh over at RDC. Um I'm not going to go through every single line item here, but the the areas in green are where we're looking at doing an HVAC replacement. So it's not a full building replacement, but it's taking up a good chunk of the of the current building. We're also looking at a full build to building fire alarm system upgrade uh as well as window replacements and
023the ears in red on the perimeter of the building that are original to RDC uh that could use replacement there. So we have the numbers in the BG1 information that I that we sent to you all uh includes all of this plus some of the conversations about additional work for athletics there at RDC. Um we have leeway to look at these a little bit closer back some of this out in terms of scope. um that's not critical at this time, but we wanted to at least take the approach to say everything where we have issues with the building currently, let's see what that is going to be from a cost impact um and go from there. So, when we look at the BG1s, um we have a lot of room to adjust those numbers as
024we move forward. So, don't feel like we're getting locked into anything right now. Um, we're going to have further many further conversations about RDC in particular to really refine that scope and on the roof on Baker. So, the the plan for that is we'll remove those areas down to deck. The rest of the areas that do not need to be removed to deck will be scarified. So, they actually kind of shave off that top layer of foam coating uh down to about half an inch. So, that'll level out the majority of the building. They'll come back over with an additional inch of spray foam insulation and a new sealant coat on top of that. So that's what that number increase for that. That'll have a 20 year no dollar limit warranty. >> Yeah, that's correct.
025>> What about on the metal overlay? Is it 20 year too? >> So as you all see on that number, it it was kind of big cuz we asked for everything. Uh but we plan to to work through that and get it down to a more manageable number. But that's where this is just the entry point to create the BG1 so that we can start formalizing some plans and getting some documents ready to be. >> Any questions? Is that something you'll be bringing back to the planning committee and then they'll kind of make a recommendation? Maybe >> we'll bring that back to the board. Oh, >> okay. >> Next month. We plan to Ryan and I have already talked. He plans to bring some more formalized plans. The roof that he went over kind of
026is what it is, but we've got to kind of fine-tune inside the building at RDC and for and for some of the athletic field upgrades. um you know exactly what we're going to do and bring that to you all for sure. >> We'll have a little bit more of a deep dive on that as well as the athletics portion until we kind of nail that down. Um again, the way of the process goes for this once we hit that kind of EVC phase, we'll have a BG2 document, a BG3. So that'll be a finer look at the cost opinion for that. We would also revise the BG1s. >> So at this point, you guys aren't committing to anything. You're just giving us the leeway to start the process to your point. you know, we're not
027going to go from here. We actually come back to you several different times over the next probably five probably four to five months. >> Now, on RDC's roof, you were talking about, and we call it the Rwing. I have no idea what they call it right now, but that middle wing, I know it was built much it was built in the late 80s. So, is it that original roof or >> that is it? That is the original roof to my knowledge on that part of the boat. Again, it's it's old, right? It's not a brand new roof, but um a lot of times those spray foam roofs can last well over the 20 year warranty. I mean, we're seeing that both at Faker and RDC as well. >> And you're making sure I understand you're
028you all are wanting though to replace every roof at RDC like at the same time like to Is that what you said? That's how I've priced it for going ahead and doing a full um full scarification on the areas that even that the IR stand should work for okay just to have the work done so that everything is under warranty at the same time for the full you know the full roof itself. Um it's easier just from a maintenance standpoint but again we can certainly pull that back out if we have the numbers to back up how that would adjust. That's the original roof on Baker also. >> I know that's been there for since 88. >> There was a tornado like and when they first open >> that they had anything that falls outside
029of code right now or this still going to I guess you know even if it's outside we're going to be getting it into but I wasn't aware if there was anything or if it was just you know trim cleaning everything up replacement you know. >> Yeah that's primarily what we're looking at. We're also as part of our agency looking at some interior doors um to beef up the hardware on those some of the classroom doors to better function with all the school safety audits that we're currently seeing. Um so we've got a lot of you know little loose ends like that but nothing nothing major from like a code perspective other than the energy code component. If we were to pull everything off paper we're talking about adding another like 3 in of insulation to
030that and that much poly iso over that area roof is a substantial number. As long as it's guaranteed not to leak, that's that's the big thing. Hey, >> the spray front roofs. I mean, again, look at RDC and the age of that roof. Um, we're having problems now. Um, but it's a whole roof. >> Yes. >> So, coming back over with a contractor that is has a really strong reputation. I mean, it's it's pretty good. >> And have a 20-year warranty. >> Yeah. On top of That's right. Any more questions? Not like to make a motion. >> I make a motion to approve the BG1 for renovation project at Baker and RDC. >> Motion by Mr. Kaiser. >> I'll second. >> Second by Mr. Dorsy. All those in favor say I. >> Opposed. Motion carries
0315 to zero. >> Consider approval. >> Thank you. consider approval of advertisement for construction management services relating to upcoming renovation project at Baker and RDC. >> So like I mentioned the first step in the the whole facilities process is the LPC creating the district facility plan. Again the roof and the HVAC work at RDC was priority one projects. Those are the first things to tackle. The first step in that process was hiring an architect uh Ross Durant who we have worked with on on multiple things and has have a lot of background with our our district and our buildings. Um the the next step in this project is creating the BG1 so that we can start coming up with drawings and specific plans on next steps. Uh this request is to uh add a or
032to hire a or to advertise, let me back up, to advertise for a construction manager uh like we had on the preschool um to help coordinate all of those efforts. And this doesn't again commit the board to anything. It is just a request to advertise and see what kind of interest we get. Any >> questions? Anybody like to make a motion? >> Motion to approve the >> advertisement for construction management services. >> Motion by Mr. Dorsy. I'll second by Miss Hall. All those in favor say I. >> I. Motion carries 5 to zero. Consider approval of temporary easement for WU sanitary sewer line project. So Wu has approached us about a temporary easement on the back side of Shear Elementary. They're doing a project on Hamilton Street and I think it's patio. >> Yeah. >>
033That runs uh parallel to Shear there. Uh and Hamilton runs perpendicular with some houses. Uh their project is going to um basically shut that whole road off for those people who live there. And so they've asked us for temporary easement to put down some rock gravel for a parking lot uh a few parking spaces down on the corner uh there patio and then for them to stage some equipment there on the other side of the road uh that we own all the way at the very back of sheer. It would not impact shear parent drop off line buses anything like that. You mean that big field behind the fenced in area is? >> Yes. On way down on the backside across the creek >> and after it's all over with, they go back put they'll
034put grass back down for us. >> They can uh we've even talked to about maybe leaving the gravel down there cuz it's just a field right now and it's area we have to mow. Sometimes people have there there was a fence down there at one point like a back stop and and some practice. I I'm not opposed to keeping just a a small parking area down there um in the future, but um they can replace, you know, take the gravel out, so grass back if we they're willing to do whatever we want them to do on that. >> I know we've got like two little baseball fields down there that people use every summer or just use. >> Yeah, that's why I wasn't opposed to having, you know, a few parking spots down there on
035that. It doesn't It's so far away from the school it doesn't impact anything. Any more questions? >> Any questions? >> Catch you off. >> You got it. >> Would anybody like to make a motion? >> I'll make a motion. >> Motion by Mr. Kaiser. >> I'll second. >> Second by Mr. Dorsy. All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Opposed. Motion carries 5 to zero. Consider a policy. Consider approval of policy 0.1.1. I might get this out for you. Legal status of the board. >> Sure. So, I'm presenting tonight. Typically, this would be in a darker parish. Um, but she she's at a conference. So, essentially all we're doing with updating this policy is changing some verbiage. This specifically talks about um a student member. Um currently the verbiage is shall and we are
036replacing that to may. Um and then also updating the um um notice non-discrimination to make it up to date with the policies. So >> any questions? My only question is that at the end where the it talks about the references does do any of those need to be updated or do it or are those all referenced in the way in the with federal and state statutes? >> Good question. Those those are actually all referenced in the correct way. We ran it through KSBA to make sure. >> Okay. Cuz there's a lot there >> there's a lot >> and really older statutes. >> That's as we know ever changing. Mhm. >> We we looked at several other districts non-discrimination policies and what's required for higher ed institutions and that seemed to be pretty well accepted. >>
037I'll make a motion to approve policy 01.1 legal status of the board. >> All right. Motion by Miss Hall. >> I'll second. >> Second by Mr. Kaiser. All those in favor say I. >> I. motion or oppose. Motion carries five to zero. >> Can I suggest one thing before we move on? >> I know he's got a council that he meets with maybe having somebody from that council, not put it in a policy, but come and present to us, you know, his advisory council, you know, one person from advisory council maybe come and talk to us once a grading period or something like that. >> I think it's a great idea. But we're trying to build our portrait of a learner with them and part of it is being an effective communicator. So having our
038kids present to a group like this would be fantastic and we could break that up strategically. Um and eventually if that um of course I'll I'll also let you guys know when we're meeting. So if you guys want to come to those meetings we're doing some really good work with building leadership with our with our well actually it's 10th through 12th grade right now. We've got about 20 of them. So absolutely. I just thought it'd be good to hear from them. >> Acknowledgement of CCPS financial update, Miss Ellis. >> Good evening, everyone. So, this is putting our numbers in place with the budget that we'll present right after this. Um, so adding in our tax rate that we approved last month, that is putting our receipts um a little bit over 50 million. um our
039expenditures um with those payroll raises that we approved back in May um were at 55.1 million, but we also talked about those certain expenditures that are in that beginning balance that we pull out. So when you kind of look underneath in that general fund balance area, technically when we're looking at revenues and expenditures for just this phys fiscal year, not talking the beginning balance rollover, we are in a deficiency of the 4.6. However, if you start pulling off those numbers that are technically in our beginning balance, we actually have an excess um balance right now of $329,000. So that is good for us. We are sitting good right now with where our revenues and expenditures are and how we have rolled over. Um that is with a contingency of 3.9. So that is a 6%.
040So that is a little bit down from what we looked at last month with July which was not having all of the numbers in for our working budget. We had just really rolled the budget. All of the entries had not been made. And really what that difference of this 3.9 to what we were looking at five million of contingency is the encumbrances. So we had rolled over encumbrances and we hadn't made but I hadn't made any adjustments yet with July. So all of those adjustments were being made with this working budget. I hadn't made any of those in July with the numbers that we had presented last month in July. also was making our contingency still look like we had the 5 million sitting at that 7.7% but really we have to pull that out
041of contingency and kind of budget for it because we plan to spend it. So that brings our contingency down to 3.9 at a 6%. So that's where we're sitting this year with our budget. Okay, any questions? Okay. So, if we flip over to taxes, still very early on collection of taxes, but you will see um kind of um we've already started collecting our franchise and our motor motor, excuse me, it didn't come out right. But if you actually flip to the next slide where I kind of give you where we've collected checks this month that you'll see next month on the we are actually at 16% franchise. So you know how we were kind of short at the end of last year. We got a big old chunk of checks this month. So that's what
042I'm saying with franchise. You never know when you're going to collect them. They can come in a big chunk where we could not get some for a little bit. And really when you look at the report from the sheriff, all of these are 2023 and 2024. So I mean like the chunk of franchise that we just got paid for is not even current. So I mean that's that's one of those taxes that we don't know like the sheriff can't predict it. The collection like we can't predict it. Like that's one that's the hardest tax for us to predict even budget or collection. So, I mean, we're already, you know, third month in at 16%. I mean, that's very abnormal compared to the prior time last year. So, um motor vehicle, we're at 13% with what
043we've got from um this month. So, those two are tracking good already. Next month, we will get we'll start getting the um property taxes. People will start paying they're early to get that discount, >> the 2% discount before November. Yeah, that's right. That's right. Those bills will go out and we'll start paying there early and then come November, we'll get a big chunk. So, um I mean we'll we'll start seeing those property taxes rolling in the next couple months. So, that is where we are with our financials right now. >> So, non deficit and a little bit of an excess. >> Yes. >> Want to highlight that? >> Absolutely. >> Okay. >> Yep. We're sitting good right now. Authorized payment of salaries and accounts payable. >> Anybody want to make a motion to pay bills?
044>> We got to pay the bills. I'll make a motion. >> Motion. Second by Mr. Dorsy. >> All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Opposed. Motion carries 5 to zero. >> Consider approval of 2025 2026 working budget. >> All right. So this is our final step in our budgeting process. Although the budgeting process is really never done something going on in budgeting, but we have to approve this budgeting cycle and submit it to the state by September 30th. Um and so there are very minimal changes, but I'll walk through those with you if you'll flip to the next show in the clicker. Um so this is just a summary of all the funds. We have 10 different funds that we operate out of. So that is a summary of those. I am only
045going to walk through the funds that we are changing. So fund one um so this is a summary of all of the funds. So fund the big funds. Fund one general fund or is our taxes. Fund two g is our grants and then fund 22 and 25 is our school activity stuff. So nothing changes in those unless we collect dollars. That's the only time stuff changes in those. So fund 25 you see that it has changed by 961,000. Not really. That's really just the balance where it has rolled over the monies from the prior year. It's just the beginning balance budget entry. We didn't budget anything at the draft or tenative level. That's just really where we rolled the dollars and set up the beginning balance. Um building fund, construction, debt service, those are all
046based on our properties and our bonds and all of that. food service. They are their own entity. That we'll walk through in a little bit more detail at the end. And then um nothing has changed about our ch child care operations. We have stayed the same budgeting projecting for that. So that was really fast. Any questions about something specific other than what we're going to get into a couple details on on 151? Really >> have on the childcare operations. How are you feeling about them? We That's really our first year. How How are we feeling about it? >> We are feeling much better than last year, but we are still navigating news. >> Let's just put it. >> I got you. I got you. >> But we feel much better. We are the program is
047greatly improved. Um we are still going to have to fund some of it out of general fund. And I still have a budget line item to fund some, but I'm hopeful that we won't have to use it towards the end of the year. We've had a whole lot more enrollment in afterare. I mean, they are booming >> with enrollment in afterare. So, um I mean I'm sure Miss Flant will probably give an update at some point on the whole childare program, but it's it's running very well. So, I foresee that it is going to fund itself eventually. Will it be this year? I I I don't 100% know that, but we are on track for that to happen. >> That's awesome. >> Yes. >> Okay. Well, let's jump into fund one changes. So, this is
048kind of the overview summary of what has happened from the tenative budget to the working budget. Very minimal changes in an overall sense. We're only changing the bottom line by $87,000. There's a lot in between there that made that happen. Beginning balance, um, we went down by about $631,000. But in all reality, the way we projection, we what we projected, we're down 631. But that's really made up of two pretty big large items. We went ahead and bought Chromebooks for this year at the end of last year. Okay, that was about $250,000 because of the tariffs that were coming in and then just prices. We went ahead and like jumped on the stock and bought them at the lower price because we knew prices were going up. So, Mr. Kase jumped on that and bought
049the quantity that they had in stock in the warehouses knowing that when they replenished that stock, the prices would be higher. And then also our insurance, we paid about an additional $320,000 that we budgeted in insurance. So that was a pretty penny. >> So why do why do you think it went up so much? >> Insurance just balloons. >> It just that's that's quite a bit. >> Uh it is it is >> well and we're going for next year. We're working on actually allocating a little bit more one interest company predicted another 18% general possibility. she >> so between property fleet all the things that basically fall under the the umbrella they call it the umbrella insurance policy which is a multitude of things workers comp between all of the stuff literally we get >>
05010 invoices a quarter to pay all the insuranceances like for the entire year it was about 320,000 extra so that's very close to the 631,000 that we were short >> that we spent out of last year's budget that we weren't really preparing when we projected to roll over this year. So, makes sense. >> That's what we were short in rolling over our beginning budget. We increased our taxes right around 800. We said 866, but when I ran the numbers to the actual value, I increased the budgets 870. Um, the way the property dollars fail with our seek calculation, when property values go up, the state wants money away from you. So, we actually are going to see our seat decrease by about 234,000. So, I went ahead and accommodated that. And then, um, we're going
051to see some capital funds also with the way the property dollars increased, it made our capital funds go up that we can infuse that over to general funds. So, the combo of all of that makes that 87,000. Um, and then also corresponding on the expense side, just the way all of the budgets changed with all of our rotating in all of the accounts between payroll and incumbrances and the way everything moves around and then what we had to take out of contingency to make up that difference that 87 that's the difference of all that. Any questions on that? So that's how the budgets changed within one. So when you see that that it says tax increase of does that mean taxes actually went up that much like we raised taxes by that amount? We raised
052our revenue. So our budget for revenue. So what so adopting the rate that you all end up adopted it's going to make our revenue that we're going to get from that adoption of that rate. We got to increase our budget. >> We actually decreased the tax rate. The rate itself was decreased to the tax. >> Correct. >> 66.8. Correct. >> Correct. >> Thank you. >> Yes. >> So the next slide is just a summary from actuals of how we ended last fiscal year, the tenative budget that we presented in May, the working budget that we are presenting right now, and then those differences that we just talked about. So that's just kind of laid out the numbers in each of the funds um for you to see it the different way in the summary we
053just talked about. So that's the individual categories of all of our revenues. And then if you'll go to the next one >> back well expendit I was going to run through expenditures back up one. Okay. So this is a summary of how expenditures changed um from tenative to working. So that is with raises in our um payroll. And then you see that employee benefits actually went down which seems strange. However, the KPPPA retirement rate for our classified staff actually went down this year. It went from 19.71% to 18.62%. So when you talk that decrease of a percentage on the amount of classified like it actually decreased our payroll benefits. So um that's why that rate is down. Um and then we adjusted um you'll see the 0300 is up and that is due to not
054having esser funds anymore. Rol like roll over esser funds. We've spent all of those out and we used to um those funds for like Kagan and OG training and we have to continue paying for those programs. So that's back on the general fund. So those buckets professional services is now on that area um because we have to sustain that programming that we've started. And then 0400 and 0600 are negative meaning that we've taken money away from that. That's where we decreased that set aside and kind of put money back into contingency. Um because we wanted our contingency to be at 6%. And so where we used to have 2.3 million for set aside for furniture and maintenance projects and that kind of stuff, >> we we decreased that to 700,000. So that's why those budgets
055specifically are showing less. >> Um and then the ' 0500 is insurance. So that's where we pay insurance from. So you see that that's up because we needed to increase that insurance bucket of money. And then that very large 1.7 you see under 700 property is our bus purchase PO where that incumbrance rolled over. So that is not new money that we had budgeted and increase. That's where one of those purchase order incumbrances rolled from the prior year. So that's those buses that we've already had encumbered for a couple years and we're still waiting to get which we just got three. >> We just got three out of the seven. >> Yeah. So we're still waiting on some but we just received three >> that we ordered like two years ago. So there's there's a
056really backlog of buses. So you got to now look at three to five years on what you're going to >> need because you have to buy them now or you're late. >> You never have. >> Mr. Snails does a good job. [Laughter] He's already >> forecasting bus needs. >> He's already ready to buy more. >> So that'll be in the future talks pretty soon. All right. Fund to grant. Any questions on general fund before we move on? Everybody good? Okay. So fun to grants. We do not record budgets for those until we know that we have received them. So at the tenative level, we did not know a whole lot of our grants at that point. You can see the tenative column is kind of blank in a lot of areas. Um but then you
057can see we've gotten several more grants established now at the working level. So if you flip to the next one, it gives you the bottom dollar. So we have 6.9 million in um grants now at this point declared. And this and this is only this physical year grants. So, we have more grants on the books that are like rolled over from prior years. So, um but this is only the ones that are labeled this physical year's grants in the budget because the way the budget works is it only books ones that start in this physical year in the cycle. So, we have ones that have rolled over. So, we actually have more grants on the books, but you just don't see those in the budget cycle specifically. So, we're probably closer to more like 8
058million on the books in all honesty with rollover. Okay. And then find 51 school nutrition. Not a whole lot of changes for her either, but good news, her beginning balance went up for her um a little over a h 100,000. So, she got to increase her budget by that. So, that gives her a little bit more cushion. Um and a lot of that has to do with her summer feeding program. Is she here? shout out. Awesome. How How many meals did you serve? >> Oh gosh, 21,000 or something. >> So, I mean, awesome. So, that's really a lot of that has to do with her summer feeding program in June and it's even more in July. So, she's got even more revenues in July that were booked from that, but that's really just from June
059in all honesty that helped roll that over. So, that is the biggest revenue change for her obviously and the only revenue change. And then on the expense side, very minimal changes. You can see down in the 800 category is really that excess miscellaneous is kind of like per contingency area. So that's where that excess went is to per bucket of contingency down there. Any questions? That's our working budget. Any questions for the nutrition? They got to keep the free breakfast lunch, right? Yes. Yes. Then let's start charging. Good. Great. >> For our students, for all of our students. >> Yes. Problem for students. Yes. Good. And Miss Ellis, I want to say I appreciate how you you always present us with the information and make us understand it because I know your job must be
060just wow. But you do such a good job and I appreciate you and it that's why it makes it so easy for us as board members to approve budgets because you keep us well informed. >> Very well. >> Yes, you do. And with that, I will make a motion to approve the 2025 2026 working budget. >> Motion by Miss Hall. >> I'll second that. >> Second by Mr. Dorsey. All those in favor say I. >> I. Opposed. Motion carries by. >> Pretty good. Consider approval for the board members and the superintendent to attend KSBA's 2025 winter symposium be held December 5th through 6, 2025 at the Louisville Marriott downtown. Oh, that's but it's kind of it is what it is. >> And these is where we can make sure we all get our annually required
061training hours. So, >> so check your hours and get what you need this time. >> And what I like about the December one is sometimes they'll have things that are outside the box and you I think you can do even more um collaborating and what' you say >> you have a little more freedom to kind of mingle with other people and see what else is out there because you don't have to do as many of your training but you get what you actually need. >> Yes. and and we've used it out of the way to like collaborate together as a board too to too. When I say collaborate, get to know each other, work together, that sort of thing. So, I'm make a motion to approve. Motion by Miss Hall. I'll >> Second by Mr.
062Kaiser. All those in favor say I. >> I. Opposed. Motion carries 5. consider approval of the board of education trick-or- treat community and school collaboration. >> So my understanding of this this is held at GRC and um the school like is it the agriculture or the >> FFA? FFA >> FFA does it with WSL? >> Yeah. I mean there's lots of groups >> and there's but this is a safe place kids go on the campus and and they >> it's all held inside the high school. >> They trickor treat. There's stuff to do. Safe place. They're not out on the streets. >> Yes. Um parents go with them. >> Yes. >> No. It was been packed the last couple years. It's it's >> going to be worse this year cuz with Boones World not having
063theirs. I would say it's going to double >> at least. >> And my understanding is I've never went. My kids now too old to do this sort of thing. But it is definitely it's well anyone's welcome to come. >> I say never too. Yeah. Well, but in their minds they are not at a place. Yeah. So, so with I believe we um I'm wondering what every all the board members are thinking maybe around um it takes a lot like inflatables and there's the candy. >> We do inflatables, prizes, candy, >> uh games. >> Games. Yeah, >> that's and then FFA does their part in the >> they get all the groups and everybody kind of organiz the >> work with the church. Is it on the 31st? Is it for No, it is on the
064>> Yeah. Yeah, I want to say >> I think we've historically given around $5,000 for this. Does that sound right? >> Um yeah, I think we it's systematically been three to four. >> Yeah, it's been Yeah, right around there. It started out as two and then kind of last >> as it keeps growing. you are uh WL does all the manpower in the gym, runs the bouncy houses, runs the games, runs the hands out the prizes, hands out the um candy in the gym. Now, Terrap and FFA does it throughout the high school. >> Yeah. It's a big kind of collaborative event. >> You all should come. >> It seems like we can show off GRC, too. >> Oh, yeah. Cuz they go all the way around. >> Yeah. and end up and then she
065sends them out through us. >> Okay. >> So they go in one part and come out through us. >> It sounds like >> I'd like to um make a motion to donate or to collab approval of this collaboration of $5,000. Does anyone else have any other motions or agree with that? I'll second the motion. >> All right. Motion by Miss Hall, second by Miss Thomas. >> All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Did we vote on this? I don't remember. Do Ben and I vote or just let >> You don't have any personal economic stake. I think you >> Okay. So, I did you vote? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Motion carries 5 to zero. Uh cuz superintendent really about skip. >> We got lots of stuff. Uh so we want to give the
066board a couple updates on some things that uh is coming up, some information we have. If you'll notice, we'll get some of these have already been released for the public. We're really trying to get information out regarding our fall family connection events. Um some of those have already happened, but we got a bunch more coming with Baker on the 30th. We got Strode and RDC on the 2nd. and it's kind of our open house night and season. Um, so that is one hand out. The other one getting ahead of it with our Veterans Day celebrations. Something we take great pride in in Clark County. Every school has their own type of Veterans Day events. Uh, you also, this is something we kicked off last year where we're leaning into our vision of connecting the district
067and community as one to grow greatness. You cannot do that in silos. So, we invite everybody to eat with us throughout the year. So, this is already a schedule of the Thanksgiving lunches that we'll have. Um, I think last year who spread out who made it through Doc Dr. Monty. >> All right. Uh, we probably fed 5,000 parents. Um, >> that was just elementary >> and that was just elementary school. Um, so again, it's a great collaboration to get people in. And then we also have some holiday lunches around Christmas time. So we've got those dates out. So we'll be putting all that out together. Again, just trying to give parents enough headway and notice that they can actually participate and not finding out like the week before, but then you have to to go
068to work and make time. So welcome. Again, it's our vision. We were trying to connect with folks in the community and with our parents. Um breaking news out of KDE uh today. Um, so I went ahead and added this. Um, instead of giving the ACT for our um, college readiness, the state department has changed to the SAT. Um, so there there was a little delay on that. Uh, but they finalized that today. Uh, that's through College Board. Again, Dr. Fletcher released a statement. uh who's the commissioner of education to move the SAT gives Kentucky students access to powerful tools that support their success like free personalized practice through Khan Academy, a new digital format that's shorter, adaptive, and designed to be more studentfriendly with fasting score uh reporting. Um so that is the assessment we'll
069give all of our juniors at the high school in the spring. So that's how quickly it's going to turn around on us. I want to make sure I've already been in communication with Miss Fitz and her team. Uh, I've also been in communication with the high school with the building assessment coordinator, Mr. Rock, and and the head principal, Mr. Arms, and and those folks. So, we're we're ready to rock and roll. They're already meet with their PLC's and teachers about how that changes our alignment a little bit. Um, so there's a big update, a huge shout out. Speaking of FFA, allin a week was last week. So, across the the entirety of the district, um, our ACT students were providing learning opportunities for our kids. Um, all this was highlighted by visitors coming to our
070preschool on Friday from KDE. We actually had the agriculture commissioner, uh, Jonathan Shell was with us. A big shout out to Kentucky Farm Bureau for their support. U, we end up doing there there's rumors that the Cardinal Rule had another magazine article out uh, with some video and pictures of like our high school kids working with four-year-olds. I mean, working directly with them, pouring into them, and seeing those little kids look up and admire our high school kids. That's what that's what it's supposed to be about, right? Talk about growing greatness. Now, our old high school kids are growing greatness in our preschool students. I'm not going to talk anymore cuz that's pretty dag on good right there. Uh, this week we're leaning in to collaborate again connecting our community and our district with homecoming
0712025. Um, Thursday night we'll have a parade downtown at 6:00 p.m. Uh, we're coordinating with a lot of our activity groups. Um, we'll have a special maybe guest appearances by food services. Sometimes they they they start singing going down the road on a on a on a parade float. We'll see if that's going to going to come back to action. Um, and then some other things that are a little bit new this year. We're collaborating with our downtown businesses, the Chamber of Commerce. Uh they're decorating uh their business fronts. Uh so this year's theme is take them to the shed. Uh that's because we're playing the West Jim uh tots horses. I don't know. They're going to the sheds all I know. Uh so there's window decorations everywhere. Um and it's been really neat to
072drive around our community and seeing our kids. So I know Miss Bush has had a big hand in that along with some other folks at the high school. followed by a communitywide pep rally. So, parade through downtown. We'll just keep on turning down Boon Avenue and then we'll drive down Boon Avenue to the high school. I think they're going to have powder puff games. They're going to have we're on the fire band. We won't be able to do the fire, but we'll have a pep rally nonetheless. Celebrate our kids and our community members together. So, we're really really excited uh as as really a great example of us growing great together. That's the top part of about going to the shed. >> That'll probably be the quote on the board. >> She's writing it down
073really fast, too. Like she's really getting it. >> I mean, she is she's I've given her lots of quotes tonight. >> All right. >> Can I ask a question? The SAT. So, like college, like when they're applying for colleges, do most colleges use the SAT? Cuz I don't. It's been a long time since I've applied. Most of them do it and at this point to be honest with you um a lot of colleges have made that testing optional >> optional >> for admittance. So a lot of times they're looking more at your your resume, your activities, your GPA and some students don't even report. But for our accountability system, they'll be using that for our um for our for our preparedness score. >> It's an interesting thing. >> Yeah. So that's like I said they
074uh were working on this throughout the summer and we had kind of a hold on it like I said just got word that day from the commission as we move forward on it statewide. So it's not just Clark County Bank it's in the state of Kentucky. >> And then with this parade downtown like I haven't been down I've kind of avoided downtown. So is where is this parade going to be? Is it that where it usually is? >> So it it'll be where it usually is except it'll take a detour around like the main street part. Um, so it's the same freight route they did later today, which course you've not been, so you don't know what I'm talking about. >> So it's like on the lower side like >> So they'll start on Main
075Street and then they'll take a right and go down to the lower part and around the courthouse basically. Um, so the courthouse >> Oh, I got you. I got you. Okay. Gotcha. Yeah. Sorry. I just >> Great question. >> Thursday night 6 p.m. >> I've even been on jury duty and haven't had to go downtown because I haven't had to go. So just even greater. So >> it's it was he's coming along in there. It should be >> Yeah. >> Plan a big Christmas parade I think later. >> I've been watching Mason. He like puts videos every day. So >> it's good stuff. So >> yeah, he's great on updating everything. >> Yeah. Yeah. So I don't have to go down. >> All right. Consent agenda items. Would anybody like to make a motion for
076those items 1 through 19? Wow. >> I'll make a motion. >> Motion by Mr. Kaiser. I'll >> Second by Miss Thomas. All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Opposed. >> Motion carries five to zero. Need a motion to adjourn. >> Make a motion to adjurnn. >> Motion by Miss Hall. >> Second by Mr. Dorsy. All those in favor say I. I. >> Opposed. Oh, she hears 5 to zero. [Music]
