It's going to be awesome. Starts at seven. We would love to see all of you guys there. Um that's where our teachers take students, they make a team, and then they get their own like walk up song and everything. They all get uniforms and they just battle it out on the court. It's awesome. Um blood drive uh is coming up. We are getting the forums out next week to sign up for the
004blood drive, which is super exciting. Um, we're also our seniors are looking into uh a senior sign for this year, which is something that classes do sometimes just to be remembered a little bit. And we are looking at maybe doing a statue, but you know, it's all very um it's a rough draft. Uh the end ofear party is also coming up of course after AP exams. Um end of year summer kickoff vibefest and yes, the name is finalized. Uh, and we have been approved for a dunk tank. And that is all that I will reveal for now. So, I'll kick it over to Griffin to do sports. Sports, uh, tracks going well. Um, I don't know exactly how they've been doing, but I know they've been doing good. Tennis, we got Oliver Ward and Harrison
005Rotar are performing exemplary. We're expecting another fantastic season from these two. Uh in previous years they both placed at state. So we're looking we're looking for another good performance. Lacrosse and softball are getting their started in their respective seasons. Um girls lacrosse has had some pretty close games. I know they played Billings last weekend and it was a it was a good match from them. And then I'll hand it over to Truman for our activities. Um yeah, just to finish off a short one for uh the end of the year, we've got uh last month we had our worthy student scholarships all come out, which was super fun. It was um awesome to, you know, see all the kids get recognized for, you know, being worthy students and taking their photo shoots with their teachers.
006I don't know, it was all really exciting. Um, academic Olympics had a tournament in Frenchtown this past uh last week. Um, and we are qualified for state which is super exciting. Prom, you know, prom was prom, it was awesome. It was at the Elm. Uh, we had a blast. Everybody was having a great time. Um, the, you know, pretty sweet. And for the arts, our mouse trap is uh starting the last week of April and the first week of May. It was directed by BHS's very own Levi Pufall. It's um super exciting. Yeah. So, student directed. Um you guys are all invited once more. Love to see you guys there. And of course, Boseman Night Live. Uh which I mean kind of goes without saying, but it was awesome. All right. And that's all I
007got for you today. Short one. Thank you, gentlemen. Question for the Boseman High representatives. On to Bridger or Gallatin. Who would like to go next? Good afternoon everybody. It's your guys's favorite time where I talk about sports and activities going on at Gallatin. All right, for sports, let's start it off with basketball. Our girls were the state champions for basketball. Our first time in school history. is a monumental achievement and uh it's setting the expectations high for future years to come and our boys placed fourth um and had a very strong showing this season um further cementing Gallatin High School as a you know a big player in the state when it comes to sports across the board. Our track team won its first meet and it's looking great so far. Um, our boys track
008is at the Dolberg invite in but our girls track is at the Optimist invite in Great Falls. So, we are looking forward to both of our teams competing in those invites and again showing the Raptor spirit that we've grown so fond of over the year. Then softball is three and two to start the season. We beat Bgrade for the first time in school history. So again, it's another monumental achievement and that game was especially uh was especially cool because of the fact we came from behind twice in the game to go on and win it. So it's a real monument to um and testament to how our girls are performing this season and are just trying to grind out the wins and again show that Raptor spirit. And then tennis. Uh this past weekend we
009had our boys uh playing a cross town game and our girls playing cross town and our boys beat Boseman. Um but our girls lost so it's even with Truman over there for this one. Um but we would like to also congratulate uh Taylor Cummings and Miss Gil Martin as the DA coaches of the year for um basketball and swimming respectively. Um going on to activities now. Um, as many of you know, our orchestra uh had a trip over spring break um where we went to uh Vienna, we went to Prague, um we went all across Europe and we saw a lot of very cool things. It was 85 students between both schools. So, it was a really cool achievement and you know, while we may be separated at times when it comes to sports, we
010can ultimately come together and show that water bodism and community. It was great. Um, and then our choir took a trip to Denver. Um, and they they sung in Denver. I think they sung at a Denver Nuggets game, so that was pretty sweet. Um, they got to go watch a symphony there. They had a lot of uh they had a very good time and overall it was great. And then our band um recently traveled for double A. And then all three of our ensembles performed at District Festival this past weekend in Bosezeman and they all achieved uh I believe superior ratings. It was um again just showing that Gallatton High School really prioritizes the arts and has a really good infrastructure for years to come. And then like Truman said, similar to BHS, we also
011had many students participate in Bosezeman I live. Um so it's really great to see our students talents on full display and it was a great uh event. Llo and I both went and it was great to see. Thank you gentlemen. Oh yeah, Lazo got a lot more actually. Yeah. Um lots of other miscellaneous things happening around Gallatin. Um our prom is a little bit later than Boseman's scheduled for Saturday, May 3rd. The theme is a night on the red carpet and then after prom will be put on by the pack. Uh and I believe the theme is waves of aloha at GHS. So looking forward to that one. Um our NHS National Society is currently hosting their family promise drive. So collecting items uh for care baskets that go to those families uh as they're
012entering the new homes and are provided by Family Promise. as we put together those baskets with our home rooms and then donate those over and so I think that's going pretty well. I think it ends the 18th so the end of this week. Um so far been pretty strong throughout the school. Uh we're having a cleanup campus event in a few weeks uh for Earth Day. So the whole school take part ideally and we'll have all of our classes go out and clean around our campus and around the the area surrounding Gallatin High School. Our key club has been busy uh this year. All of our officers in Key Club have taken on projects that they have that are passion that they have a great passion for and something that they really want to show
013to the club and involve the club with in the community. So those range from cleaning up parks around the area, working on the gardens around the school or doing a fundraiser from Promise, stuff along those lines. Uh in addition to that, uh Kiko will be volunteering uh the end of April uh with Special Olympics at their uh Big Sky games. So, I think it's just swimming for this this time around by volunteering with the swimming event. Um, making sure athletes are where they need to be and keeping track of things with scoring and things along those lines. End of this month, once again, HOSA will be having a blood drive April 23rd. Students and staff sign up to donate their blood and HOSA puts that on every year. I think this is their second this
014year. Um, as far as blood drives go, our spring musical is uh coming up the end of this week. The title is Little Shop of Horrors. It's the 17th through 19th. And so we encourage you guys all to show up and support our Raptor Theater Company. Lots of testing happening around GHS this past week. We had the ACT and PRAACT for sophomores and juniors. It sounded like it went really well for everyone. Didn't seem to be any major technical errors or anything uh to deal with in terms of Wi-Fi and connections. So everything went smoothly. And then coming up in May, we have AP testing uh starting on the 5th and ending on the 16th for all our AP students. Our UNICEF club is working on their TAP project currently. They started at the beginning
015of March and are hoping to end it around the end of April. Um, working with local businesses to raise funds for access to water globally for children and uh, school children across the globe. Students were recognized as worthy students as well, just like Truman said along with their chosen distinguished educators and they'll have their official recognition on the 21st of May. So, we encourage you guys to all be there and to support our students and our awesome seniors who are recognized as worthy students as well as their distinguished educators they chose uh to be honored with them. Uh, some honor here in a little bit today, but DECA had uh has a number of kids going to Orlando in just a few weeks, the 26th through 29th to compete at their international or their international
016uh competition and hopefully we'll see some really great showings from those kids. Um as well as HOSA, which had an awesome showing uh super amazing group at their state convention, 45 medal winners, 16 first, 16 second, and 13. So, a really amazing showing. Um we had a safe driving seminar this past week. Troy Anderson came in with the Montana Department of Transportation and talked to students about safe driving habits and the importance of driving safely in Montana as well as a focus group that met with uh some outside organizations that work with the Department of Transportation to talk about habits that teenagers have today and how we can effectively discuss those issues with our teenagers. In addition to that, uh we have some projects going on with our seniors, some legacy things we have worked
017to implement. Uh, one of those being our spirit sticks we've had each year that are kind of sitting up in our closet right now. So, we're looking to hang those in the entryway in GHS and kind of mark them with their year and a quote from each class to honor each group of seniors that have come through um with a spirit spirit and student section. Uh, as well as the ceiling tiles, we're looking to bring a few of those down and have some senior artists paint those and then have everyone in the class sign them as a way to leave our name and our legacy in the school as we go forth. So, lots of stuff happening, but thank you guys for listening. Thank you very much, Tanya. I just have a comment. Um, I
018really appreciate you sharing the part on music and I just have to share with you about eight or nine years ago, I had a conversation in my living room with a very concerned student who was convinced that if we split into two high schools that the music program would not be as strong for his younger brother. And um I would I'm just really pleased that not only are both schools excelling at in athletics, but they're both thriving in music and the arts, too. And I'm just I'm so grateful. And if you by any chance find that student I'm talking about let him know you're doing well, would you please? Thank you. George and Nila Bridger Charter Academy. All right. Hello everyone. And we have a kind of short one for you today, but you know,
019kicking off the spring season, everyone in Bridger is super excited that it's finally nice outside. We can finally start doing stuff outside. Um, a couple weeks ago, we had, or I guess a month ago now, we had a Bridger brunch to celebrate Pi Day. Our teacher leader, Miss Powell, actually measured the circumference of every single thing that was served at Bridger Brunch and then wrote it down and listed it out on the table. Um, it was a really good turnout. We had 28 students come and I know that each of the Bridger teachers individually had fun things planned for that. So, you know, it was a fun way to kick off the spring season. A fun way to get things going and sort of get the ball rolling towards the end of the year for
020Bridger. And I'll hand it over to to George. We've also had some pretty fun hawk times. Um some dedicated to some recreational activities such as board games, but not all of it was all fun and games. with the upcoming um uh ACT. Some hawk times have been set up to help kids get that get that kick to get that um high 15. No, what is it like 35? 36. All of them got 36. Uh at least that's what we were trying to go for. Uh but as of today, the seniors all got together and um we talked about what our graduation has looked like cuz Bridger has a has a separate graduation from the giant schools. We we uh take up a space in the auditorium. We were talking about things like if needed if
021anybody needed caps and gowns, we'd supply them. We got to pick out our senior quotes. I thought mine was pretty funny. And any could um foods that should be brila's mother offered to bring some great pastries. Uh and we also got it to vote on um who our student speakers should be, which uh it we get to pick out three. I know I voted for Nila. She's amazing at speaking. And if uh any were anyone to walk by our um community room, you could see Vidmar uh painting our um windows, which in my experience in Bridger, the windows are have been very blank. And throughout the year, they have always at least had one art project on them, which I thought was very lovely. because you have to walk past it and to get to
022the main bridger area. Back over to Neil. All right. So, in terms of publicity, now that we finally finished up the logo and gone through all of that, the website is uh finally mostly updated. We're getting there. Um the new logo and the new colors have been implemented. If you guys have popped on that page at all, you would notice that instead of red, it's now green, which is pretty fun. And the teachers have been updating the tags on emails and whatnot, just really sort of unifying that across the board. And Miss Powell and I are working on putting pictures together for the website to sort of um differentiate it from Bosezeman High School a little bit and really show people that visit the website what Bridger is. and I will be stopping into our
023Bridger brunch that we're having this Friday to take some more community pictures and really finalize everything in terms of Bridger publicity and hopefully cement that more for the years to come. And yeah, that's all we have for you guys today. Thank you very much. George and Nila, questions for the representatives from Bridger. Are you going to share your senior slogan with us? You're gonna tease us and tell us tell us it's funny. Nila doesn't remember, but let me think of mine. It was every shot you don't take is a shot missed unless it involves the IRS. Okay, thanks. Thanks, guys. Thought you were going Michael Jordan there for a second and then you didn't. All right, thanks everyone. You're again always welcome to stay for the meeting and you're also dismissed if you'd like to
024leave. Up next is item 2.3, recognitions and awards. First, 2.3.1, Montana Key Club state awards and state officer recognition. Brittney Miller and Joe Cusack, are you with us? Mr. Kusak. Mr. Kusak is there's Britney. Yeah. come forth and please bring your kids with you. Well, so if whoever is going to do the presenting, if you could sit at that table in front of that microphone and hit the button on the right so it turns green and then maybe the kids can surround you while you're presenting, Mr. Kuzak and Miss Miller, but I'm flexible. if you want to do it a different way. Okay. And if if we could have we could have all the kids kind of come forward where you can where we can see you. Mr. Kuzzac, I'm sorry to interrupt. Would you
025mind turning the mic on? Sorry about that. Thank you. There you go. Green. All right. Thanks. We're good to go. Excellent. Uh so three weeks ago, we had an opportunity to take a number of our key club members over to the state uh decon meeting. And it's a statewide gathering of a number of key clubs from around the state. And this year we were able to recognize and we were recognized for the most members attending the district district conference with 11 students. We are recognized for having added the highest percentage of new members to our club. We also were awarded an early bird award for paying our dues on time. This first year we've been at Gallatton High School and so it was nice opportunity. We took 11 students. We had four upper classmen and
026seven underassmen. And so a number of our upper classmen received awards. Llo Bombgardner is a distinguished president of Gallin High School Key Club. Distinguished member completing over 50 hours of community service and a four-year member. very proud of that. Uh Isabella Deerman, distinguished vice president of Gallatton Key Club, distinguished member, completing over 50 hours of community service and four year member. Very proud of Isabella. We also had Sophia Woodard who was distinguished member completing over 50 hours of community service and Elena Yang, distinguished member completing over 50 hours of community service. And she also earned an outstanding oratory award for service speech given at the So very proud of these individuals. I'm so proud and honored that I get to be around such impactful students and teenagers on a daily basis. Our key club me
027our key club has 48 members and throughout the year 95 students who have attended at least 10 meetings. Our leadership team has conducted over 23 meetings this year and we have working partnerships with Special Olympics, the Boseman Cancer Center, Haven and the Gall Food Bank. The club has become of the opportunities for students to earn community service awards through their weekly efforts. Each week, we empty the individual classroom receptacles and students transport the large containers to service space uh for help for not only our building to keep it clean, but for our custodians as well. And we have witnessed a strong desire within our student body to serve our school and community. And it's due to really their efforts. I'm so proud of them to be able to build that foundation with our That's awesome.
028Thank you very much. Um, are there questions for the Key Club kids from Gallatin? Sandy, sorry. I wonder if you wouldn't mind sharing a little bit about your community service, what you what you chose to do. Yeah, we have a really awesome club. Mr. Kusack said um over a hundred kids I think have been to the club at least once this year with around 40 to 50 uh douchebag members but we've had a lot of projects. My personal favorite every year and it's kind of the one that I take the lead on. So I really enjoy this project particularly um is our food drive that we do and it has been a smashing success the past few years with Gallatin. Um this year I think we raised just under 3,000 pounds of food in just
029a few weeks span and it it really brings in the whole school. Key Club runs it but it's cool to see the entire school kind of take part. We'll have classes of kids. They get competitive. We make it a little competition between home rooms, but it's really fun to see people get involved and apply themselves to something more than themselves, which is crazy for high schoolers to do. We have such a large group of kids that do it and a really dedicated group of kids. Um, but our meetings are very wide ranging. Um, sometimes it's big projects like that. Um, we'll also do a lot of arts and crafts. We make decorations for the Gallant Valley Rest Home. Um, blankets for the cancer center. So, kind of a wide range of stuff we do. It's
030really wherever we're needed and wanted that we'll we'll try and be there and be part of things. Thank you. How many of you have been besides llo in the club since you were a freshman? And coming out of 8th grade, do you remember what got you into the key club? Was it a friend or teacher or how did you how did you initially get involved? Those of you who have been doing it the whole time, I and I were on a freshman orientation tour and our two leaders were the president and vice president of the club and so they just mentioned Kub and we instantly fell in love with it. Thank you. Did I misspe? This is not just Gat Madison. This is Gallatin and Boseman. Yeah. Okay. Oh, yeah. That was my mistake. How
031many of you are Gallatin? And then and then the other Boseman. Okay. Thank you for that clarification. Great. Um so thank you. So we have four of our five members here that helped attend um decon. We are missing my sister. She's at track right now. But um I was very proud with our representation. We did a very great job. We increased our numbers last year. Actually, no, they were the same. We had five members time last year. So, consistency, which is key and key club. Get it? But I see what you did there, right? It's pretty good. Um, but yeah, so to start, we also got the early bird awards um patch, which um is for clubs that submit their dues um before they're actually due. Technically, they're due on the in December. Um, and
032you have to submit them by the end of November. So, that was pretty cool. Um, that's our second year in a row getting that. Um, we got many different award um awards for different like promotional type, I guess, events. So, we got our scrapbook award or sorry, not scrapbook award, digital scrapbook award. We took second place um which just helped show the members of the district board what we're up to. Um, we got first place um for the promotional video award. Um, it was quite of it was quite wild to say the least. Um, it was a very good video. If you'd like that, we can share that with you eventually. But um, we also got first place for the um, essay contest. Um, that was my second year winning it. Um, and then we
033also received first place for the um Sorry, I was not prepared to speak today. I um major emphasis project. Thank you, Eka. Um so that was where we um had a major emphasis, hence the name, on different events. So ours were um the events for cancer awareness that we held at our school. Um, we held a breast cancer awareness support day at our school where we made over 200 pink ribbons for our school and then handed them out on a day that we called pink day where our school dressed up in pink to show their support. That happened in October. Um, we did the same in November for World Pancreatic Cancer Awareness. Um, we made the ribbons and then hosted a purple day. Um, both days helped spread awareness and also information about um, the
034diseases. We handed out many cards for um the cancer center support donations. Um and then we also made tie blankets as Gallatin did for the Gallatin Valley um or sorry the cancer center here. Um so that was our major emphasis award. We also received the governor's project award which is where we had um 50 members or sorry over 50 hours of community service um relating to IKEA's governor's project which is making positive impacts positive being PAW as it was helping support animals um wildlife and domestic. Um, so some of the events we did for that were making birdhouses as a club and hanging them around our community. Um, making dog treats, making dog bandanas, um, and then hosting a fundraiser. We call it our duck grams. It's an annual event where we, um, sell rubber
035ducks with a note and a song, and then we come into your class and give it to the person you bought it for. Um, so we were able to donate about $150 to Heart of the Valley for that. Um and then Orion over here was recently elected as our new governor of the Montana district. Um Beah here was our past governor. So very cool to have um two years in a row um with that. And then Orion also got the Stanway award which is a very prestigious award. Um the best one you can get for a key clubber that is not a senior. Um so congratulations to Orion. And then I got the Sandy Ninger award which is the highest honor you can get in Key Club as a senior. Um so I was very
036honored to get that. Both describe your commitment to the club, your community service hours, and your passion for helping the community. Um and then both AKA and I got the four-year member award for being in Key Club for all four years of our high school um time as well as we had two scholarship recipients. was one of them. Um, which is a $2,000 renewable scholarship through Kowanas, which is our parent organization. And same with Addison Stany, who could unfortunately not be here today, but she received the same. Um, I believe that is all. And you were not prepared to speak? No. Sorry. That was that was amazing. Thank you. Congratulations to all of you. That was that was incredible. Um, two times USA award. Congratulations on that. Thank you. Now, are there questions for the
037Key Club kids besides the ones who already we've already had Gary? Yeah. Congratulations to all of you. Great job. And I'm curious what the role of the governor does. What do you what do you have going on the next year? Uh what I'll be doing this next year as governor is I'll be coordinating between all the various clubs within Montana and trying to help them unify their efforts to better our communities through service projects. Oh yes, I'll also be on the council for the international board. Uh sorry I haven't gotten the training yet. That's later this year. So I'm a little rusty. Uh but that will mean I will have an influence on how Key Club International works and how that trickles down to helping the individual clubs within our district. Okay. I've also been
038asked to talk about the governor's service project in which I will be trying to unify our efforts as a state into specifically one sort of project. For instance, last year's governor's project headed by Aika was making positive impacts where we encouraged key clubs around Montana to focus on helping animals and the environment. Okay. I evidently I've got a lot more to speak on than I thought. I previously served as the lieutenant governor of division six, which is just a about a sixth of Montana. I've been running the key clubs for, well, not running, that's the president's job. I've been helping them communicate with each other. And then this past year, I served as the district secretary, which meant I was in charge of recordkeeping and helping out with the district board as a whole in
039terms of planning events such as the district convention and our youth conference. Anything I missed? I'm sure they'd let you know. Well, congratulations to all of you. and trusted D has the award. Congratulations. Just um one more question. How often do you meet and do you have like a service project per month or how is that kind of organized? Um you guys um so we both clubs meet every Thursday at lunch. Um, I assume the same is for Gallatin, but um, our Boseman High School Key Club always has a different service project every week that we organize. Last week, for example, we made, um, Easter lilies for the Gallatin Valley Retirement Home. This week, we'll be doing like an Easter egg hunt thing for our school. Um, and so every week is a separate thing.
040And then we also have different volunteer opportunities outside of club meetings, um, which take place typically on weekends like As I said, we'll also be helping with Special Olympics. Um, so those are a lot of partnerships with outside organizations such as the um, Boseman Health Clinic. Um, and then we also have officer meetings at least once a month. Um, we have had two this month so far. Um, but that's just to help facilitate leadership, I guess. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you to Miss Miller and Mr. too for helping organize these amazing kids and um I'm just impressed with each of you and love what you're doing for our community and how diverse your projects are, but all um definite places that we need to be giving support or spreading joy. So, I'm
041very honored to present this award. Um I move that the board of trustees adopt the following resolution. Whereas Key Club International is the high school organization sponsored by Kuanas International. The Boseman High School Key Club and the Gallatin High School Key Club are recognized clubs at their respective schools.

Is there any public comment? Seeing none, all in favor? Motion
043passes 8 to zero. Congratulations. Thank you so much for coming tonight. Thanks to your parents as well for those who are here and if we could invite you to meet Trusty D in the hall for a picture that would be great. So thank you. Up next 2.3.2 two 2025 HOSA State Leadership Conference winners, Miss Djos and Miss Nuttle. Please come forward and bring your kids. Um so I would actually like to introduce a student that will do the speaking. Um Jack Whiteidy represented um not only our um chapter but he was a state officer this year. um and I'll actually let him tell you a little bit about the project he did as a state officer and he will fill you in on the happenings brief summary of the happenings in HOSA and a little
044bit about what we did at the state conference. So this is Jack. Hello everyone. So I was really not prepared to speak today so I'm just gonna bear with me please. So um as Mr. said, I did have a project uh as a state officer this year and so my role was vice president of student engagement for the state of Montana and in that position I was charged with expanding education for students especially in rural areas on healthcare uh like careers and such. And so through that I've cho uh picked up a project where I was doing a video um podcast series with healthcare professionals from mostly Boseman Health but across the state. Um and I talked to them about what their career was like, what responsibilities entailed, uh education to get there and we
045focused on areas that weren't as like well known. So not like cardiology but rather nutrition services and dietetics and behavioral health and stuff like that. and I will hopefully in the next month or so have a the pleasure of interviewing our um director of the department of public health and human services for that position. Uh Charlie Bitton, which is nice. Um and then as far as what HOSA is, many of you guys know what DECA or BPA or FFA or FCCLA, etc., all those CTSOs are. So HOSA is another CTSO, but we're unique in the fact that we're the only healthcare CTSO in the state of Montana and across the nation to the best of my knowledge. Um, so we focus on getting students geared into these careers uh in health care that are like
046more niche and well less wellknown, which is really important, especially in an area like Montana where we are healthcare frontier or rural across the state. 52 of our 56 counties are um medically underserved. Um, and so that's kind of the just with HOSA as far as what it is across the state. And then within our own chapter, we do service projects like the blood drives and we have guest speakers come in from health careers. Um, again, more niche ones, maybe some bigger ones. Uh, last year we had an orthopedic spinal surgeon come in, which was pretty cool. Um, and I will now tell you guys about our state first place winners and introduce them to you guys. Um, I will start with our hostable team, which would be me, Gabe, Ali, and here. We uh
047won first in hosable and then as far as physics goes, I won first in physics. Um who else here? Oh, I got first in medical spelling and pathophysiology. That's all for me though. Um and then we had for clinical especially we clinical specialty we had Kaylee. And then for veterinary science we had Gray. And then that's everybody here. But we had quite a few other medal winners. And I don't want to have to read them all off to you, but I'm sure they're on the list. Um, and then beyond that, we had several people medddal uh second and third place across the board. We brought 65 medals back, which is more than any any other team in the state brought back. I don't want to throw shade, but we be we Boseman. Um, so that's
048that's everything I have for you guys. If you guys have any questions, feel free. Thank you very much. And oh, and sorry, Ally got first in PT. Congratulations, Ally. and maybe we'll have Boseman present and then do qu do questions all at the same time after. Hi there. My name is Michaela Overly. I am a member of Bzen High School HOSA. Um we are really similar to Gallatin's HOSA chapter but um we have just been really preparing for our SLC competition by taking online tests which required knowledge in different like categories like um pharmacy which Lucy Child um got gold in uh pharmacy at state. So we were doing online tests, sending in skills videos of different like health health career professions and um we did also attend SLC in which a lot of our
049members um got medals and in um categories like um community service announcement and pharmacy and biomedical debate and me and Riley Robinson yada got um first place in forensics. So um we are really just trying to educate all the members of our school on health care healthc care careers and are planning um a great projects for next year. Thank you. Great job. Any questions for the HOSA kids? Sandy? Um I was Wondering if we could hear from the seniors about perhaps if you have an idea of what you're doing next year, what it what it is and if it's related to the medical field at all. You're all juniors. But I do like That's amazing. Well, congratulations. I just have to say that I just randomly know a handful of you and it's because you
050excel at other things and now all of a sudden we're honoring you in this capacity. um you're just a group of amazing kids. So, thanks for being so engaged with your school and and involved and uh it's really great to have kids like you in front of us. So, um and I think Trusty Lucine has the award. I do. Um I have one question first. Anybody in the group uh did the anatomy part? Anybody here? An anatomy? I'm curious in through either curriculum, do you have any access to cadaavvers to study anatomy? Thanks. Well, it's my honor to read this, present this motion and I appreciate all of your effort to continue to study in healthcare world. So I worked in that for over 40 years and I really encourage you to seriously consider continuing
051as you probably know there's reduction in providers in many different areas. So um it's a great future to really consider. So good luck and uh please consider medical um career of some sort. So with that I would uh move the board of trustees adopt the following resolution. Whereas health occupations students of America HOSA is a student organization whose mission is to promote career opportunities in health care and to enhance the delivery of quality health care to all people. And whereas the state leadership conference was held in Billings, Montana on April 1st and 2nd, 2025. And whereas the following students earned gold medals. Bosezeman High School. Lucy Child Pharmacy Science. Michaela Oberly and Riley Robinson Yata forensic science. Gallatin High School. Casman Bradley Bradley. Kate Dodson. Camry Peterson. Grace Emert. Anatomy Tournament. Jake uh is it

Therefore, be it resolved the board of trustees recognize and honor these students for their gold medal finishes. Second. Motion made by trustee lucine, seconded by trustee Reinhardt. Is there any public comment? Seeing none, all in favor? Motion passes eight to zero. Congratulations. Thank you so much for coming out. Thanks to the teachers as well and to the parents for the support and for coming. And if we could have
053you all meet Trusty Lucine in the hall for a picture, we would appreciate it. So, thank you. I I have one question I'd like to ask clarify the recent bill that was passed in the legislature that allows uh credit for working in nursing homes or healthc care facilities. Um will that have an influence on the students in HOSA? question answered. Okay, thank thanks again guys. Thank you. I make a motion to approve the consent agenda items 3.2 and 3.4. Second. Motion made by Trusty Black, seconded by Trustee D. Is there any public comment? Seeing none, all in favor? Motion passes seven to zero. I'll make a motion to approve consent agenda item 3.5.1. Second. Motion made by Trustee Black, seconded by Trustee D. Is there any public comment? Seeing none, all in favor? Motion passes
054six to zero. Which brings us to item 4.2.1. Consider approval of Gallatin High School assistant principal, Superintendent Bertram. Thank you. Uh, Principal Schneay and Mr. But come on down. I'll give a brief overview and then leave it to principal Schneay to give uh fill in all the details. Uh very pleased this evening to bring forward for consideration um Mr. Dave But as assistant principal at Gallatin High School. Uh as you know, Mr. Randy Van Dyk is retiring at the conclusion of the 24-25 school year. Um Erica and her team um worked through um multiple uh panel processes and interviewed a variety of candidates and um settled on uh a high quality candidate that I respect very much and excited to add to our leadership team. Uh Erica, go ahead and fill in the details. Um
055okay. Uh, I think a lot of the details are in the resolution that you have in front of you, but um I mean I could take you way back to 2007 when Dave But moved into the classroom next door to mine on Jwing at Bosezeman High School. Um, so we were we started out as neighbors and I appreciated that opportunity to get to know Dave right away because he is an extremely high quality human being. He takes a lot of initiative. He's incredibly smart. The um conflict matrix spreadsheet that we use was actually created by Dave um because he saw a problem and knew there was a better way to do something. And that's one of the things that I really appreciate about Dave and why I'm excited for him to be an assistant principal
056because he's um systemsminded. Uh always thinking about the big picture, always looking at things from a problem-solving mindset and also always seeing the optimistic side of things, which I appreciate, while also empathizing with people through struggles. And um Dave is really highly respected by our staff and um I would say at Gallatin High School and beyond. And so I think he's going to be a truly excellent uh assistant principal and we're excited for him to to take on that new role. I'll clap for that. Thank you. Mr. Buck, would you like to speak? You don't have to. I'm a little sad his family's not here because Dave's kids who Sam is now a freshman at Boseman High School or at Gallatin High School, but um they came and attended the groundbreaking ceremony of Gallatton High.
057The entire But family and Dave and his wife both teach at Gallatin High School. One of his kids goes there and the other one will come there in a few years. So, uh, the butt family is very, very invested in the future of Gallatin, which is why I also think he is an excellent fit. And I might have to take a picture later to send to Sarah. I I will say uh that Sarah would like to be here, but she uh is making sure our kids get fed before after one got done with a play practice and the other one is going to Special Olympic swimming. And we tried to squeeze in when we could uh the dinner there for them. I do remember like one like story when when we shared classrooms next to
058each other. I was very grateful for Erica in that moment because that was when we had a uh I remember one particular time we had like V like VHS machines like VCRs and ours was broken and so we convinced our stu our students I asked Erica first if we could like come over and use her VCR because we had to watch a a clip of something and we convinced our students that we were going to go on a field trip and so we brought them out of Jwing walked them all the way around the library and then back down into the classroom next to our next to ours and they were really excited to go on a field trip and then really disappointed to realize we were just going next door. But um so I'm
059I'm really excited to serve in this new role uh and uh look forward to um trying on a different hat and experiencing things from a different perspective, but um getting to continuing to work with uh with a great group of people and inside of a a fantastic district. So I appreciate your guys' uh faith and effort in in getting me into this position and I hope to serve you all well. Well said. Thank you. Any questions or comments, Lauren? I just wanted to share really quickly. Um I was excited to see your name um come across for this position. Um we got to know each other sitting on a committee together and um the thing I noticed about you right away is you were very passionate about your teachers and you empathize with them. Um,
060and if you did name a problem, you came to it with resolutions and you were creative. And um, you always kept your fellow staff members and the students in the center of the room. And I think that you're going to be a great fit at Gallatin High. And I did hear this is also student approved. Um, a kid you might know with the same last name as mine said that he understood why you got the job as well. Um, but I think you've garnered a lot of respect. it sounds like even outside your own school. And so I'm excited to see what you do in this position and thank you for stepping into it. Sandy. Well, we've served on several committees over the years and I've always appreciated your perspective and how you how you
061manage conversation and opinions and everything that came up in several consensus committees. And most recently, you're on the um what's that? guiding coalition. Thank you. Uh I I suspect that um whoever is going to fill your shoes will have big shoes to fill and kids will miss you, but they'll still see you and I'm very excited to have you in a leadersship position and serving Gton High. So, thank you very much for stepping up. Thank you, Sandy. I uh when my student found out, they were asking like, "Wait, does that mean you're not going to teach this class anymore next year?" And I was like, "I can't do both jobs at the same time, guys. It's just not going to work." And they were they were like, "Oh, I guess that's okay." So, yeah. Um
062same as Lauren, when I saw your name um for this position, I was just so pleased. And you know, I know you mostly because you taught my kids and um when you were their teacher, your name came up at dinner conversation all the time. So, in a very good way. So, I'm I'm super psyched that you're leading in this way. So, thank you, Gary. Yeah, congratulations and thank you very much for stepping into this role. I agree with everything that's said and serving on different committees with you. I think you're just um very approachable and open to hearing a variety of comments and really working with the student in the middle of the center of the m room to really provide them the best services possible. So, thank you very much. Thank you. I wasn't
063going to say this, but because I'm the only one who hasn't spoken, um it's really weird, but my husband Brent was actually looking over my shoulder as I was reviewing the agenda yesterday because he was curious about a question that trustee Moran had asked me earlier in the day and he saw that you were being nominated for this position and he was over the moon excited as was Aiden. So really happy to have you in this It's just amazing. And when you get perspectives from a trustee and a parent and somebody and a student and then it it just it means a lot. So, thank you for years and years of hard work. Thank you. Sounds like you check all the boxes. So, thank you very much for stepping up. Oh, wow. Man of all
064trace, trusty black. Oh, that actually that made me think. You do have a lot of diversity in the different things, different tasks that you've done throughout the district. Um, so I appreciate that. Also, being on committees and the negotiations, you know, I think one word that I think of is just thoughtfulness as through those processes that that I've been through with you, it's like you always had a good thought or an idea or a different direction to come from. Um, so appreciate that. I guess uh simple question is what do you look most forward to? Uh I'm I'm really looking like I'm really looking forward to to continuing my education inside of this um like still working within the in the building working with a great team. Um I'm excited to see some some new
065challenges uh and some some new um new thought processes and new systems. Uh that's really what I'm I'm really looking forward to. I I really like to try and find solutions to problems and help out where I can. Um, and I'm excited to to explore that more in this role. Um, and see where that takes us. Thank you. We do need a motion. I move the board of trustees approve the superintendent's recommendation. Second. Motion made by Trusty Reinhardt, seconded by Trustee Burlesen. Is there any public comment llo? So, like all you guys said, Mr. But's an amazing person, amazing teacher. Um, I just thought I'd throw my student opinion in. Uh, as you many of you guys said, lots of students approve of him, and I 100% do, but I had the pleasure of having
066Mr. Butt as a teacher my sophomore year in AP World History in that combo class, and I credit him to my my five on the AP World test. and I'll call you, Laza. Uh, he kind of taught me the the formula for beating the AP test. So, I've applied that to every other test since. And um, I appreciate him for that. But all the students really love him. My sister has him this year. And she kind of said, you know, what are they going to do? Um, because someone's got to fill his role. But I think he's going to be a great fit. Everyone I've talked to since hearing, you know, he's going to take on this role has said that makes a lot of sense. You know, he's he's really fitting for that that
067opportunity, that role. Um, the right person to take that on. and he's also served as our UNICEF adviser for UNICEF club this year and we kind of came to him. We asked a lot of teachers and they were all kind of like uh I'm kind of busy Mr. Butt and uh he's like uh and Mwell said you should do it and he's like okay um but he's done an amazing job and we appreciate him. He's been available. He's been a resource and he's just a really great teacher, really great person. So I think he's absolutely the perfect person for this job and like you guys have all said that that is the case. So I'm really proud of him. Thank you Mr. But thank you. You did a great job. Thank you, llo. Is there
068any further public comment? Seeing none, all in favor? Motion passes 8 to zero. Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you for coming. Is there any public comment on non-aggenda items? Please have a seat right there and press the button on the right to make the microphone green and give us your name and also write your name and address down on that clipboard when you're done, please. Okay. Thank you. And we typ typically give people two minutes, but I'm flexible if you need a little bit little bit more. I I probably won't need two minutes. Thank you. Thank you. Um, hi. Thank you for the opportunity to to give a public comment. Um, more than a comment. I have just um I'm approaching you. Oh, excuse me. My name is Karen Sanchez and I live on North Fifth
069Avenue. Um, I'm approaching you out of curiosity. And um the reason I'm here is um I was reviewing the landmark project phase one document um this week and um notice that the um the Whittier grade school was removed from the NCOD the neighborhood conservation district and the report says that it was done at the request of the school. So, I'm here with curiosity to find out if there's a way to find out why. Um, curious about that. Um, so that's my question. Um, is there an explanation available? Um, if if not, it'd be helpful to find out. Um, so I'm here with a question and then I'm here with um a request. Um, our neighborhood Midtown has a steering committee. Um, and so I would ask um would it be possible if the school district
070looped in um our um neighborhood steering committee regarding Whittier Grade School on any um projects or plans that are planned for the school? Um and I just want to say it makes us all a stronger community when we all work together. So thank you request. Thank you. And for clarification, I I don't think you're asking for it, but we can't get into back and forth discussion at a nonprely uh noticed agenda item, but we will have administration respond to you. Um just make sure you write your maybe also add your email under that clipboard as well along with your name. I didn't even expect that. I just wanted to bring up that neighbors are curious. Um thank you. Thank you. Appreciate that. Is there any further? Yes, please come forward. Want me to repeat my
071instructions or do you got you have it? Thank you. Good evening. My name is Noah Tenbrook. Thank you for having public comment. Um, as some of you might remember, I was here 16 months ago. And this, um, what was the room downstairs kicked off my journey to fight the Guthrie, which is a controversial development proposal in the Whittier School District, um, just half a block or one block down the street. And uh at that meeting I I discussed um asking you guys' help to create you know sophisticated communication systems with the city that would ensure that any new development or changes that are fielded through the city would be uh responded to in an organized and efficient manner by the school board so that you know we can get ahead of safety issues, we can
072get ahead of other organizational issu issues and uh I think I believe I spoke with Mike Waterman at great length He answered a lot of my questions, so I appreciate that. Um, why I'm here today is because of the NCOD boundary as well. Uh, it's a very important overlay that sits over the top of our historic and downtown neighborhoods. I consider it a cultural overlay. It's kind of what, um, it allows for it, it protects our identity in some respect in the built environment. um it it functions as as a stricter set of guidelines for development that keeps them kind of within a sympathetic check as to what already exists around it. And as you can see even out the window here, I mean I was I was a student at this school um and
073I looked out of uh I looked out of the window at the Brides when I was in fifth grade and that's gone now. And I I don't know if you know if that would have been developmentally appropriate if it had been adhered to the NCOD, but that's neither here nor there. What I'm concerned about is that the school um uh was is the school district asking to be outside of the getting outside of the NCOD for Whittier, which would allow for um I don't know if it's pitching up a plan to sell Whittier to build a bigger school in the Lowe's area. Um, I'm not sure what it's pitching up the school board or the school district to do, but I just want to remind everyone that it's really special to be able to walk
074to school. It's really special to have historic schools that are built by Fred or AR or designed by Fred Wilson, and it's just really special for quality education, for students to have the multimodal access to their schools. We're going to have a ton of new residents at Whittier. And um and maybe we you know we need to like kill some of the design guidelines to to expand on the existing lot. And I think most neighbors would be fine with that. But I think most of us are terrified to see Whittier be sold and then it getting that area getting the same designation as Seventh and all of us now having sevenstory buildings in front of our homes in 5 10 15 years from now when all that we've been doing the last 16 months is
075protecting the sanctity of this neighborhood and the beauty of this elementarybased school uh school neighborhood. And so I ask all of you, I don't know where this deliberation is at, but we would love to hear your guys's reasonings for asking the city to omit the Whittier School District from our cultural overlay and and to please consider um our efforts uh now and our continuous efforts to preserve the Whittier uh identity within Midtown. So, thank you for your time. Thank you. Is there any further public comment on non-aggenda items? Thank you. Up next, 7.1, executive cabinet reports. Um, good evening trustees. Um, we we uh um we included in the agenda a legislative update, but it was not included as part of the agenda. So, we'll just talk about during the executive cabinet reports. I wanted
076to make you aware just a couple things that we're watching a little bit outside of the mainstream public education um uh uh I guess uh priorities that that we that we've been talking about and then you've been hearing out through the Montana School Boards Association and our our membership elections and those are um property taxes and and where the revenue comes from to fund all of these changes that we're talking about with tomorrow being tax day. I thought it was appropriate to let you know that um the district is a member of the Montana U Taxpayers Association. We're getting regular updates from them and there's a number of bills u for property tax relief and income tax relief overall um working their way through the legislature. Nothing's been decided yet. Uh but there is um
077significant and um ongoing changes being contemplated for both property taxes and income taxes. It was we tend to focus on property taxes in this in this c because that's what our our primary funding source is. But we pay a lot of money in income taxes as Montana as well. So, it's important we keep that whole picture um in line. We've got um uh a lot of lot of things in play. There's um uh one-time rebates for property taxes, ongoing rebates for property taxes, proposed changes to um tax rate on residential and commercial properties, and then um certain exemptions on business tax equipment. All of those would affect our taxable value and numbers that we'll be bringing to you in the summer. We, as part of our annual election brochure, put together some information on House
078Bill 231. That one seemed to have a lot of traction at the beginning of the um session. It's since been gone by the wayside, but a lot of those concepts are are still in play. On the income tax side, we're looking at um House Bill 337. We have some income tax reductions for the top income tax rate, 5.9% to 5.65%. And then House uh excuse me, Senate Bill 546, tax reductions to lower and middle inome taxpayers. A lot of things happening with these bills. We don't expect the end of the session is pretty hectic in general and I think that's going to be the case with a lot of these bills as they've made their way through one house and not the other and are sitting and probably be waiting for some uh reconciliations to
079happen and some um largecale um making sure that things add up at the state level so that the can afford the the the bills that they're paying out to schools and to other jurisdictions. So, I want to let you know that we're just watching a lot of tax bills, property income tax, hoping for some conclusion and some uh direction here in the next couple days or weeks. Casey, a couple other um legislative items. Uh we have uh members of the League of Women Voters um in the room. We presented at the league today as one of our 50 plus presentations. um they uh on an annual basis get the most questions right when we play a game. Uh which means they are very in tune with um how Montana school finance works and we we
080appreciate that. Uh a couple items of note. Um we on our road show are talking and uh about um House Bill 15 signed by the governor, the 3% inflationary increase and how it's not really 3%, it's 2.4% 4% and if we pass our operating levies, it it turns into the full 3%. Uh we know that the STARS Act um is generating a lot of buzz in terms of schools scrambling to ensure they have anou or an agreement with their unions in place to secure funding for the stars act. Uh all all information I have is that that that bill is moving forward and that will be positive. Uh there is um Senate ed meeting tomorrow on a variety of bills. Uh we've heard um via the grapevine that the legislature um the Senate will like
081to um close this session following the Easter break. Um and so time is of the essence. Um if the legislature closes, anything left standing is dead at that point. Uh so Senate Ed meets tomorrow committee at 3 PM if you're interested in contacting um representatives of that committee. three three items. They're not significant funding changes, but they are very much um tied to things that we do every day with kids and would be helpful. One is House Bill 168, which is funding for special education preschool three and four year old program at Morning Star. It's a $3.7 million um statewide um cost associated with that. House Bill 339 has a delayed start, but this is funding for sixth graders. Um so that sixth grade comprehensive middle school is funded similar to seventh and eighth grade.
082That would be um uh as we've been communicating in the community. We're not in adding FTE mode. We're also not in cutting FTE mode. So any of these um bills that have additional funding allow us to further provide salary and benefit increases for our um for our employees. And then the final one um which is uh very exciting tied to what um some of our challenges in Bosezeman is House Bill 361 which is state funding for ELLL students MLE students. Um reminder we get about a $39,000 grant flows from the federal government to OPI and then to us. This would um provide $2 for every $1 of that um federal funding. Like all bills in the legislature, I think it started out as $10 for every$1 dollar and it's now it's down to $2 for
083every$1. It's a $656,000 ask statewide. Um the other item I wanted to briefly talk about is staff well-being, the LRSP goal. Um thank you to Sandy and Tanya who were in two days of consensus in this room. Uh a lot of good work was done. If if you've been in consensus, day one is go slow to go fast. So groundwork was laid on best outcomes and worst outcomes. Um we did on day two um come to agreement on a on a draft measurable goal um for staff well-being and then teams started to build out the action plan at K568 and 912. Uh we didn't finish and so uh this goal is really important to our long range strategic plan and to our number one resource, our people. Um so we scheduled another day. So Thursday
084we will reconvene for a full day of consensus. Thank you um for Pat Strauss for facilitating and we hope to um bring the measurable goal and the action plan to the next board of trustees meeting. Thank you. Any further executive cabinet? Thank you Mike and Casey. Which brings us to board of trustees reports. Um yeah, just from MTSBA, some um development that came up uh at our last board meeting. Um and you know, this is after the legislative session is closed, but um during this time, uh Lance Melton had had wanted to have somebody come and do a training with us about school finance. um it was kind of pricey but then it ended up that I think through Pat McCrack and through the legislature that um this training is going to happen and it's
085is the pushes from the legislative side. So what this will help with is understanding where we stand with dennial funding. Um there's a list of like 50 of us. Mike Waterman's on that list too to come to this training. Helena, I don't know if you got an invitation for that yet, but we can talk we can talk about that. So there's uh not yet. You're on you're I just pulled it up. I saw you on the list. Um my My take on this because this came about very quickly, but my take on this is that they're out of Georgetown University. It's two people coming in. It's going to be a day and a half in Helena. Um, and I I think from the legislative point, it's um like how school vouchers work. So, we're all
086we're all hesitant about what that means, but we figured if um if the legislator legislature is asking and they're doing this training, we want to be a part of that conversation. Like we we want to we want to know what people are are discussing. Um so, I'm on that list. Mike Waterman's on there, Eric Matthews. So, we've got a lot of, you know, local representatives who are a part of that. I'm getting more details. So, I just wanted to let you know about that and you can talk to me further about it as I get more information. You Gary. Yeah, just an update on House Bill 153 that did pass the Senate this last Saturday, 46-2. Um, so maybe on third reading tomorrow, I don't know, but u it'll be heading to the governor. So
087that's moving along pretty good. Sandy, I just want to I want to thank Pat Strauss and Casey and everyone else that worked on putting together the staff well-being consensus group for two days. I am so proud that our district is committed to serving our students and our teachers formally in our long range strategic plan. And it was incredible the work. And Pat, there were 50 people in the room. I sat back and just watched and went, "Wow." And some great work, great comments, great opinions, great solutions coming, lots and lots of solutions coming forward. And so I just I want to thank the district for putting that together. It um and I think it really means a lot to the teachers that we are doing this work so and prioritizing it. Tanya, I would echo
088everything that Casey and Sandy already said. And the part that really that I want the other trustees to know is um such a heavy topic and such a harsh survey that put us in the place that we decided to do this. And yet the attitude in the room was incredibly gracious and positive. It was just it was really neat to see everybody working together and the tears that were shed were almost because of the shock at how compassionate their peers were and their leadership and um it was it was incredible and I just would you know if you get the opportunity to do something like this and haven't gotten to yet I think everybody has but it was really incredible and um very intense and raw but um so positive. Sounds like consensus. Thank you
089all. Any further board of trustee reports? Seeing none, we will adjourn.
