Any questions on that? Okay, moving on to announcements of public comment. Um, the board welcomes and encourages public comment. Anyone wishing to address the board is encouraged to do so with these stipulations. The board may limit the amount of time for the comment if they become extensive. If the speaker begins to infringe on the right of privacy of another, the board may interrupt and end comments on the issue. Even if the comments are entirely appropriate, the board will take no action on them at this meeting to ensure that others who want to address this same issue have the opportunity to
004do so. The item will be placed on the agenda for a later meeting. [clears throat] Um, moving on to letters to the board. None student issues. Okay. Um, commendations and recognitions. Okay.

I might have to talk a wife into letting me get one. >> Okay. So, principal report. >> Yeah. Um, I just want to say November is the month of Thanksgiving and um, I'm really thankful for the really wonderful teaching staff here at Boulder Elementary School as well as our Paris and our support staff. Uh, they've been doing a tremendous job this year. Um, and and we've had a significant number of challenges in particular that we're short staffed
006in many areas, but everybody's just been doing a wonderful wonderful job and um, it's just a pleasure to work here. Uh we have the students playing starting today with new playground equipment. I put in an order for a bunch of new balls, basketballs and things. And um so the kids were really happy. That was fun to see. Our basketball season of course is in full swing. We've already had several away games and a home game. Um, we have made a small change to our website and that is uh I am currently attending in three parts a six-hour webinar from the NTSBA on title N. We had to make a small change to our website to be title N compliant. On your school's website, it has to say Title 9 and it has to say who
007your Title N coordinator is, which is me. And then you also have to post your trainings so that if there were ever a complaint under Title N, uh we can show that the Title N coordinator was thoroughly trained in all of the procedures that have we have to have to be federally compliant. So just in case you looked at the website and noticed that there's one little change. Um, on November 25th, which is the Tuesday before the Thanksgiving break, this we are going to attempt a schoolwide photo with all our new t-shirts. So, weather depending, we might do it outside, otherwise in the gym. We're just going to keep our fingers crossed and see. Uh, on the 21st of November, our second and third graders will be attending, as some did last year, the Nutcracker
008Ballet at the Civic Center in Helena. And then our fifth graders will have their second installment of what they started with the star base that Monday and Tuesday before Thanksgiving. And of course, everyone is looking forward to the Thanksgiving holiday this month. So that is my November principal. Awesome. Thank you guys. Okay, moving on to new business. We have a couple hires. Um, first we have a custodian. Um, Brandon, I'm going to murder this. Can you rack? Can you rack >> for the custodial position? So, I will accept a motion to approve. Brandon, >> he's working out real well. Is he? >> I think I ran into him tonight. >> And [clears throat] he was subbing here for >> Yes. >> a while and then kind of floated into that position. Correct. >> Yeah, they
009knew him. So, yeah. Yeah. Sweet. >> Good. I'll make a motion to approve Brandon Canarak Kenny or something like that. Brandon K. >> Yep. >> I'll I'll introduce myself to get it for sure.

For I have a hard time hearing because I'm so clocked. I'm sorry. Carson Pettis for substitute teacher for the school year. >> All in favor? >> I motion. All opposed. Motion passes. Um non-resident student acceptance is a standing item. Liquidation of school property. We have a the Toro lawn tractor that's needs to go um scrap scrap.

So, >> okay. >> But that the new tractor fits in the or the desk shop. Okay. For said it's a little tight, but it fits, so that's good. >> Okay. No policy updates for this month. Um, the next item on the agenda is Elk Park RFD request for land transfer. >> Um, I did did let him know that it would be on this month's meeting. Um, I would like to make a suggestion that we [clears throat] wait until the summer cuz
013I I believe it's seated to the county if the board does agree to do that and just to get our duction out if the board wishes to do that that we address this in the summer. So, where we got a little time to I'm not sure what the big rush on this since it's a 99-year lease. >> I think that's a very good idea, good advice. >> Unless you want it. It's up as >> I don't feel like there should be I mean I think we should look at everything and figure out exactly what's going to happen and how it's going to happen before we >> I'm more curious what's going to happen to the property after we dee it to them. >> I actually >> So that's my concern. I actually emailed them about
014the concern about what they're going to do with it and um I can't remember her name who emailed me back said you know they've invested so much into that that they just would like to basically clean up what their agreement is >> right >> um and that there was no intention to get rid of it >> right >> cuz I profit from that >> that I did question there was no intention >> okay >> um but it goes to the county anyway >> okay >> is my understanding so I'd like to know how that works for going to the county. >> Yeah, cuz especially there different counties, right? >> Yeah. And I just would like to wait myself. I'd like to wait on it until we talk to the county and how that would be
015done. >> It's still Jefferson County. >> It is still Jefferson. >> It's Jefferson County all the way to Woodville all the way to >> I don't think it be if it goes to the county then it shouldn't be an issue, right? >> Um but it's up to the board if you want I mean I could go to the county and see what the process has to be but I didn't want to. Well, I'm with Andrew. Like, I don't think we need to >> I think on the June agenda, >> okay, >> and let's let's get our ducks in a row ahead of time. Let's >> Yeah. I just Let's discuss it and really make a >> educated. It's outside of my experience of giving land. >> Yeah. Right. Here's an acre for free. >> Yeah.
016Right. So, >> but if that's all right and there shouldn't be any rush on it, I I can email her tomorrow and just say we we're going to put it off until June until we Good luck >> June or July when we have a kind of slow meeting. I mean, July, I think we normally kind of not meet >> or try not to, but >> maybe a June meeting where there's not as much going on. >> Yeah, >> that sounds good to me. I' I would like to talk to I'm not even sure who to talk to at the county, >> right? >> I'd start with the clerk and recorder's office, maybe. >> Okay. Ginger. >> Yeah, like I said, I have no [cough] comments of that. So, >> so that is all that is
017on the agenda for new business. Um, topics for future meeting. We normally cancel the December meeting because it's kind of a quiet month. >> Yeah. Last year, uh, the board did >> we did >> organize walk, but I encourage, you know, you don't have to have a meeting to do that. I would just encourage you that the teachers would love to see the board I mean that it just um it helps them know that they're appreciated. So good. >> Okay. >> Anything else that we need to >> um do we have to make a motion that you can pay claims in December? I was just thinking about that.
