We brought him here. He you know he put his balls up on table and just fed him. So he's not like like a a shepherd or a malwa that people are traditionally known to see in as a police working dog for his bite and tracking and aggression.

Looks better in >> for sure. >> We got to put that out on opening day to these kids. Like, so >> surprise. >> Yeah. >> Awesome. >> He needs a little badge. >> Uh, the other thing I want to talk to you about is Harus brought it to me about the traffic down here.
007I want to let you know, I talked to the daycare today. The reason we hadn't done that, just so you know, that's just the uh the center for school safety didn't want us to do that because if the SRO is the same place every time every day, it allows a bad person to track what they're doing. So if they want to do something, I can do it at 3:15 because we know he's going to be standing out the street. With having three, we think we can work it out. We'll just move them around and have a different one doing it occasionally. And then I talked to I need to get with the principles. I wanted narrow that window down if all the kids could come at once and it only took 10 minutes or whatever.
008Um they said the morning would be great that way, >> but in the afternoon since the school's let out a little bit different times, we're going we'll get that narrow down. It'll take a few days to figure that out, but we'll get it taken care of. >> Yeah. >> For the traffic safe from crossing the road. >> Yeah, because one concern I have is by the time we actually dismiss, will we be hitting the dormant traffic and then the kids? So, we just need to work that out a couple times. So, it'll be fine. >> We'll get it fig. >> Good deal. >> And then, uh, give us a week or two and then if you see something you don't like about that, just let me know. We'll try to modify that or whatever because
009Clay is very heavily involved. Clay was an state trooper. So, that's his traffic. >> That's okay. >> I got about an hour and a half briefing today. Mr. Robin might not want to be a show subject loves to talk traffic. So, >> so it's like an agenda item or special meeting. >> I can I can have him come next week and talk. >> We're good. You want to >> see how it goes. >> But you better schedule some more time. >> Thanks very much. >> Awesome. Welcome aboard. >> Thank you. >> Any other public comments? There are no further comments. Board member comments. Miss Becky, >> I want to remind everybody that we should have received a invitation from KSBA to complete a really short legislative survey. So, they really do need our input on
010that in order to uh to organize their advocacy efforts with the upcoming legislature. So, if we could all find a few minutes to respond, that would be helpful. Uh, also just a reminder that the regional meeting, KSBA regional meeting is coming up September the 2nd at receptions event center in Erlanganger. Um, 5:30 cash bar six o'clock meeting. Uh, I think the whole program will be centered around legislation and what we want to see in the upcoming uh in the upcoming legisl legislator meetings. Um, Brianna, I understand Brianna Griffin is going to be our next student school board member, so she'll be attending and singing the national anthem. We've also invited a special guest.

Uh and so we're just making this adjustment because um it was going to exceed our graduation requirements with the required number of uh credits and then electives. And so this is just adding this in as a a required course and then removing one of the elective requirements so that we still come
018to the same total. >> But it doesn't apply to sophomores, juniors, or seniors? >> No, it just starts with this year's freshman class uh with the new law and they have to have this before they graduate. >> Got it.

What else can you do? >> I wasn't applying. I was just asking questions. You >> notice getting volunteers for more and more. >> Yeah, I noticed that. About time for another election here. >> All right. Thank you. Call the question. >> Mr. Jones calls the question. All in favor
020signify by saying I. I. >> All oppose. Same sign. Motion carries. 50. review approved changed emergency leave policy for certified personnel. >> So I think it'd be helpful if you kind of went through the explanation. Yeah. On this publicly. So, with the um new law that was was changed, any um if a district gives days above 13 uh in terms of sick, personal emergency or whatever, um if that that rolls in towards a teacher's retirement, the district is on the hook for the um actuarial amount for any day above 13. The way our policy currently states is that we roll emergency days if they are not used into the sick leave amount which would take us uh to 14 which is one day above. And so we would be paying that for uh every staff
021member if they essentially use none of their days during the course of the year and we would have to pay that amount every you know for a long time. Uh so I just can't imagine the nightmare that would be to track. Uh so by just only rolling one of these days over instead of both that allows us to puts us right in line with other districts and however they get to 13 days that can roll over uh towards towards that amount and keeps us from having to do that. So >> and that put us in compliance with the new KRS. >> Correct. Okay. I don't know anybody let you roll over more than 13 going forward. Do you? >> No. I I cannot imagine anybody would go forward. >> Yeah. So I think it's you're
022going to be in line with everybody else. It's not like I don't think anybody's letting anybody roll over 14. >> Yeah. >> Make a motion to approve. >> Mr. Jones so moves. I'll second. All in favor saying I. >> I. >> All post same sign. Most carries 5. Do you approve change to mercy week policy for classified personnel? >> And same thing. >> Same thing. >> Make a motion. >> Second. >> John move. Becky seconds. All in favor hearing. No further discussion. Signify saying I. >> I. >> All oppose. Same sign. Motion carries. 50. Review approve code of conduct for SY 25 26. Did you get any feedback from principles or >> Yes, we went through it with him beforehand. Um, and so apologize, I forgot to hit the color button on the copy right
023there when I ran them, but uh, >> but not since it's been on the agenda. >> Correct. Correct. No, no modifications have been made. So, you know, you can go through the one again and be able to see just some things that were eliminated to clean up that just didn't need to be in there. kind of shrink the document down a little bit. Uh and then the other one, you've got what it would be. You can go through and be able to compare the differences, some alterations that were made uh to the behavior matrix just to allow principles more flexibility uh in handling student discipline because every situation's not the same. But at the same time understanding and again conversations we had last year about how the board would like to handle uh the vaping
024and and you know with or without THC regardless and so just know that we will be bringing those as they come up. >> So >> okay that's what I was going to ask here. It looks like page 20. >> I can't tell exactly where it says all those will come before the board. I'm missing something. Um, I don't know that it see it does have it in that final column. I guess what I was wondering is is all that first defense all all four columns. >> Yes. Yes. So, the fact that it just goes all the way across. >> Okay. you know. So, yeah, th those will come to you guys and we've kind of told principles that, but after we approve this, we'll send that email out again and anything that comes up, we'll
025be letting you know and setting those meetings up for approval. >> Second, Miss Becky so moves. Mr. Jones seconds hearing no further discussion. All in favor signify by saying I. I >> oppos. Same sign. Uh, real quick, the next board meeting on the agenda, I'll have the Mr. Arvin, then we'll have it ready for you. The cell phone when they do a policy change first reading on it, Jake. And then the uh, as far as Gateway Community Colleges, did we send a thing out to parents letting them know that they're children can attend there now? >> Yeah, we communicated that out. should be communicated at the end of year last year, but we didn't have anybody necessarily set up to go. That's definitely going to be an option and we're going to look to get
026some students going that way. Very simple. M on the adjournment, Mr. Jones moved. >> Correct. >> I have a follow-up question if I may. >> Yes, ma'am. >> On the um cell phone policy, are we we're still okay though to move forward with >> Yeah. with the legislative. Okay. What's our language say on that about like the watches? >> Uh, we had that conversation today. Um, I told talked with Mr. Bushman, I said, you know, the way I would kind of interpret that. I don't know that I would tell a kid just because they have a smartwatch that they can't wear it. But it would be treated just like a cell phone if they were trying to use it to make phone calls. And at that point, it would be a violation. It could be
027a thing that we could get to. But I don't personally feel comfortable telling a kid just because you bought a smartwatch. I mean I wear one. So >> you have to be in range unless I mean I pay the cheap version. You know what I mean? I have to be in >> people ain't paying for it. No. >> Yeah. The the upcharge on that plan I think I paid for it for about the first three months when I got this years ago because I I watched Dick Tracy growing up and I always thought that be that's a reference a lot of people don't get but uh >> I always thought that was me. So it but then I did the math on it and that wouldn't worth $300 a year. So I could make a
028phone call once a month on on my watch where I couldn't hear real good. >> And so >> usually most people's got their phone or tablet on them. You don't need that plan on your watch. >> Yeah. I hope we spend some time kind of educating folks about this, you know, for the first few months. I mean, I understand we've got to we've got rules and have to follow the rules, but this is certainly a different approach than our people are used to. All right. Where are we? Do we have a motion? >> Thank you. >> Miss Becky second there for a question. >> Call Jones calls for question. All in favor signify by saying I. I. >> All oppose same sign. Thank you all. Everyone have a good evening.
