Um the FBA has started their professional clothing drive. I think it was either this week or last week. I don't remember which one, but where they're just doing a drive to get their, you know, business clothing for the kids who can't afford to buy it. Um and >> to interrupt you, where do they need to turn clothes in for that? I believe Miss Rocky's from one of the FBA members. >> Somebody had asked me the other day and I if I need to take them to Family Resource or where they
004could donate them at. >> So, Miss Rocky. >> Yes. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Um and then in FFA, we're preparing for a regional competition kind of starting working on our speeches of different topics. I'm working on my talent and then our our archery has started their practices. I've heard lots of kids talk kids talking about that. So that's always a good thing to hear something new started up. That's all I got. >> Moving on to 6B. Thank you, Miss Brown. Moving on. >> I will comment on her com. >> Go ahead. >> Um very impressed with the band. Much much improved. >> Appreciate your singing the national anthem. Very good job she does. And cheerleading is much improved. So um sports staff for all those things has been excellent. just as an observer. >>
005You all got the farm machinery show coming up too, don't you? >> Oh, yes. In February. I forgot about that. >> Will you stay the night or will you drive back and forth? >> Uh, we'll drive. We're just going that Saturday. Okay. >> So, we'll go up in the morning, I think around 10:11. I'm not sure. I don't remember what time exactly. And then we'll spend the day, stay for the attract people, and then come back that night. >> Okay. Any other questions, Mr. Eddie? Item 6, uh, B, Roman attendance report. >> Attendance continues to be a good thing. Um, stay up over 94% for the year. So, you can compare those numbers in the bottom right of your report compared to last year. So, across the board, we're about 8/10en to a whole percent
006above where we were this time last year. Enrollment coming out of Christmas break has ticked back up a little bit. I think we gained five since our last board meeting and I know our attendance secretaries have been really busy in school with a couple kids withdrawing, lots of new enrolles. So, it's been a busy time. Um, from a truency standpoint, truency numbers continue to be really good. So far this year compared to last year, we've cut that down about 66% with the number of um file filings with the county attorney. So I think we're at five right now this time um in January compared to 15 this time last year. >> So truency filings with the county attorney are are significantly down and really I mean knock on wood but not not really many close
007on the radar either. So um I did email the principles some of the attendance data today and told them how last year there was a big drop in attendance from January to February. So, we'll try to get out in front of that a little bit with proactively see if we can head off that drop and keep attendance up for the next month. Questions? >> So, was it this year or last year that we did the attendance matters kind of campaign? I remember seeing that and I just wonder if that has kind of resonated with >> this. I've not really done much with it. Well, but this year there was there was a push at the beginning of the year from principles sending things out and communicating stuff uh much more than last year and being
008proactive about some attendance policies and things and I I think that's really kind of helped spur u and we also Mr. Bushman did a good job with the principles in promoting the high attendance day which we [clears throat] did very very well on that day. So, just some of those things I think have and the work that they've done with the uh MTSS process through attendance and trying to be proactive with some procedures in the buildings has definitely helped out a lot. >> No formal programs or anything, just kind of tidying up our procedures and giving more attention to it and kind of taking more initiative on our own internally. >> Great. Thank you, >> Andy. You guys, >> thank you, Andy. Moving on to item 6D, superintendent reports. >> Well, um I don't have
009anything other than, you know, what I've shared with you guys before. I did send you an email today about a potential opportunity for some professional development uh for me to do through KASS. Uh if you'll just take some time, take a look at that. Uh it's three two-day events between now and June. uh and it's kind of pairing superintendent with business leaders uh across the state to go do some things uh and just again learn grow uh and how to how to manage you know a large organization. So just take a look at that. You can shoot me an email back. Let me know what you think. But uh other than that it is uh school board member appreciation month. And so I would be remiss if I didn't uh you know unfortunately I set
010a bar last year and I got you [laughter] something. It's kind of that's my fault. But since I did that and and Jake, I'm not going to lie. Somebody told me that I might have left you out last year. I don't know. So >> I don't remember. >> Well, yeah. Well, if you did, you're >> my board member. Don't worry about it. Yeah. So, but I did >> go by I'm just going to go ahead and >> Thank you. >> Appreciate Mr. Jones's time right now. >> Well, >> really good stuff. >> I think Mr. Jones will like >> Well, I got assistance if I'm late. >> Okay. >> For a cupcake or cookie. >> Now, [laughter] now there's everybody there's enough for everybody to get two, but I did get plenty of the of

I mean, we'll wait and see what the state does, but yeah, we don't need to change it yet. I mean, we're still complying as of now, but wait to see what the state does this year. >> Okay. because they went from like what 15 to seven. >> Yeah, but we're still complying. I mean,
014we'll just wait and see what the state does. The state changes theirs to to mirror the federal recommendations, then we may have to change. But not yet. >> If we don't change with the federal, that ain't going to cost us any money, is it? >> No. >> Okay.

Mr. John Jones had asked. >> Yeah, I think I've got an update. I guess if everybody else or I got >> Okay. And so and
022you know, we had talked and I spoke with Jake today and and Matt pulled some information together for him. So I mean we're we're going to look at u you know the the opportunity to uh see about voiding out the contract, I guess, is probably the right way to say it, Jake. and see if uh you know as we go through the contract language to make it work out where if we can set something up to do a transition uh be able to do it over spring break. Uh so that way we don't run the risk of you know during the school year because that's a tough time to potentially look at changing copers out and it's a it's not just a plugandplay >> uh whenever you know you take one out and put another
023one in. >> Uh so We're we're going to work through the logistics of that, but that's kind of the plan that that we've talked about. So, we'll have to go through the process to uh look at bidding that out and doing some of that. Uh so, that'll be things we'll have to bring to you guys. But, if uh you know, we can do that get that done uh in a timely fashion. That's our plan. >> Yeah. So, under the contract, the the the best way to in my opinion get out of without paying any money is you're going to have to declare a default. say they've defaulted on their obligations to provide you, you know, essentially operable copers. That's why we wanted this. This is every one of these is, you know, a ticket for
024something they, you know, it's not been working. So, we're going to use this with their default said you failed to do it. Under contract, you do that. They've got >> [clears throat] >> um 60 days to to fix their problems. And so, you send them the notice of fault. Give them 60 days. Assume that they don't, you know, maybe they do fix the problems to their satisfaction, but you assume they don't. At the end of that 60 days, you got to be ready to for them to come take their copers. So, simultaneously with the clearance default, we've got to, you know, put out a bid for, you know, copier bids just like we did, you know, a couple of years ago. And so, you've got to kind of do that concurrently, uh, so everything will
025work out. And so, we thought today, um, because that was already the plan. We were trying to do the timing. Today, it may work out. You know, first we think we got to wait all the way to summer and maybe we can pull it off where everything lines up to do over spring break. So that's the goal for the moment. >> No further discussion on that. >> Moving on to F. Entering the exe session regarding KRS61 810 paragraph 1 section F for the discussion or hearing with might lead to this dispos student. I so move >> second. >> Miss Amanda seconds. All in favor? opposed. We are in close session.
