001Okay. Trustee reports. We are planning a board retreat June 11th and 12th. Um it'll be from 5:30 to 8:30 each evening. I would like to discuss the location just from talking to a couple of the board members as far as time. Did you look at the other location? Are you pretty set on Well, I went out there went around it today. Don't want to look at it. Okay. So, and it's how far how long did it take you to get out there? It is. Stephan can tell me. I may drive fast if I'm wrong. I'd say 13 minutes. Oh, it's not as far as I thought it was. No, you go to the church and go. Okay, never mind. Yeah, it's just past the church. It's Medicine Rocks Lodge. Okay. And first category 5:30 to
0028:30 each evening. Okay. Yep. And I guess I would like to know, are you going to be there both nights? Am I? Yeah. I don't know yet. I will I can commit to one. Which one? Do you know? Either one. Are you gonna be able to come both ways? Green is good. Are you keeping this note? Yeah. Pho, are you able? Sam said yes on both nights. I didn't get a chance to ask Mike. Mike when I sent it out said yes on both nights, but Okay. I will try for both nights. Dave said both nights. Well, she's coming the 12th. Make sure you come the 12th. We're just trying to if we have things that we really want to hit on, we want to make sure and do it when everybody's there. We really
003want you both at night. We do. And there's food. I'll be cooking. Barbecuing. I can't say anything about anything but me, but So, do we need to bring food? That's a good idea. I'll make the meat and bring something. What? What's the meat? Hamburgers. Hamburgers and ribs. Hamburgers one night. Ribs the other night. Have ribs at 12. You'll have ribs the 12 cuz Stevie wants ribs. Okay, I'll I'll make a couple of desserts and a like potato salad or something like that. Some kind of salad. Just remember there's eight of us total. Oh, I'm cooking for Branding all week. That doesn't scare me. I think I think he was meaning like there's only eight of us. You do what you just said. I'm like, "Wow, that this will be a time for growth and that
004we can come up with new ideas and learn how to do our job better. Mr. Cathy can word it a lot more colorfully. No, I mean it's it's it's a good process to have as to do really try to get on a in a habit of doing that every year. Kind of lay out a vision where get get the board on the same page. talk through things that have, you know, as far as grants, different things that are happening, all those pieces just a relaxed setting that's not solving all the world's problems, but just so we're all on the same page. Are we meeting at the school and take all riding after? We can do it either or so. So, we can figure that out when it gets closer. I guess it's not that far.
005I mean, Lisa is gonna have to be up early like two cooking. Um, we I don't think the climate survey is shut down yet. Stephan and I thought it'd be good to wait till July and we'll go over it then because July is when we work on goals and priorities. So, we thought that would be a good time to bring that in and see what we can improve on. That was it. Next board meeting is a special meeting at the end of the month. There are a few things 23rd. I said just be the 23rd. So I didn't know 23rd I believe was on Monday. Correct. You guys have that week. We'll have some district tenants agreements, transportation contracts, and then some end of year like property liability I haven't got yet. Does anybody have
006a problem with the 23rd? I can't be. When can you be here? That week. I can't hear the 23rd and the 24th or the 25th. Oh yeah. Much happier with these Monday meetings than Tuesday meetings. I will tell you that much. That makes one of us. I need no conflict. It could be Thursday. It could be Sunday. Do you want to tentatively set it for the 23rd? I know we won't have Phoebe, but it sounds like she has quite a few days that are and we'll check and make sure we can get a quorum. What you going to do at that meeting? Um I have opposite items that need to go. We have to do district attendance agreements. So our come from Baker or wherever else. And then we have transportation contracts, individual transportation contracts,
007and property liability insurance. o' should be fairly quick. It's just you're process was too early for this one. Superintendent report. Uh pretty low key. other than I mean good stuff. Uh we on last Friday we received word that we received the Montana Reeds grant. We were one of 37 schools to receive that of 113 schools eligible for that. And each grand total for that will be a million11,000. Um it's it's a fiveyear grant but it's actually a four and two month year grant. Let's just call it what it is. Um and so we wrote that grant with some pretty specific um reading focus. Uh obviously it's the reading grant, but within that reading grant there's also um well, for lack of a better way to say it, a behavior focus with with um attendance and
008different pieces built into that as well. So what that looks like um have a meeting with teachers on on Tuesday to talk about jump start and talk about that as well. um that we will start implementing that over the next four years. And it's it's pretty amazing for our kids and it's going to be uh a ton of professional development that you know most teachers coming out of school doesn't matter what grade level whether they're elementary or high school don't really get as much in detail reading instruction um training. Um and as as we know educationally speaking if a kid can read and write at grade level then all parts of education become much easier period. If a kid can't read or write at grade level then all parts of education become much more difficult
009and you spend their entire educational career trying to cancel them out. So, uh, just super excited about this. Just an amazing opportunity for our kids and community and and that all they're they're finalizing. They released that on Friday. They sent us um like a tenative budget seat that that you just had to because I had already had all your signatures on it. So, they're uh they will send our finalized information this week or next week. So, pretty exciting. Um, I'm not pretty excited. Like, I don't know when we can talk about a million dollars being injected into professional development for our staff. Probably. And so, I'm super super excited for our kids in community. It's going to be good, good, good, good thing. Um, jumping. So, I think we got any questions on that. I
010want to say thank you because that was a really long application. You put a lot of time into that slightly. Um, I am going to insert one thing on the maintenance just so you guys are all aware of it when you see it coming at you probably in that June budget or potentially we'll have a following meeting before that. We're looking at buying a lawnmower. Um, uh, you can fix a lot more a lot of times, but eventually you you you start to spend as much time fixing it as you do actually working, you know, doing those things. And so, uh, we're looking at trying to get find a good lawn mower. We visit it with the town and visit with cameing and and just getting some ideas on what what are good ones in
011our um in our house fund. Um, as far as the we're allowed to carry over $10,000 a year in that or we're over by 4,500 right now. So, there's $4,500 in that account that we have to spend on maintenance of properties that we can use for that. So, um, we will most likely we'll use that, but we'll pay for the just so you know when you see that why we're buying a lot more to make our So, go ahead. Does that work when in our lease agreements? Yes. The leaseies have to we have all the property between them. Okay. Just make sure. Yep. Okay. Then the rest of the stuff's all in. Does anybody have any questions about any of the other reports? Branson, you're the only one here. Do you have anything to add
012to what you wrote in here? Okay. Man, is there any public comment on non-aggenda items? Any public comment? Public comment. Move to old business. handbook approval activity in student. So, we didn't feel like we spent enough time on handbooks last two board meetings that we wanted to bring them back for just one more full No, I'm kidding. But um the the beauty of having um the office staff looked them over before we even started thinking about printing them. We just um there was a mild oversight of two pieces that were left out of there. One about the cafeteria and micable diseases. So we just need to have not been printed out. Those things that are in front of you are not changes. They just need to be added. Is there any board discussion? Any public
013comment? Public comment. Is there a motion? I move to approve the two sections as presented for the activity and student handbook. Stephan made the motion to approve the two sections as presented in the activity and student handbook. Is there any public comment? Public comment. Stephan board comment. Stephan made the motion to approve the two sections as presented in the activity and student handbook. We second the motion. All those in favor say I. All those opposed same sign. Motion carries calendar andou. So calendar is in front of you. Calendar committee met last week and um that agreed upon calendar is in the packet in front of you. I think Carol saved the day coming up with something was on the committee. And I Sam they're all here. That's right. I knew there was more sitting here.
014I mean, there's a pretty good consensus in the committee. I think everybody agreed. We did everybody was we did some practicing of thumbs. forward discussion. How come you went to a five day week in May? Graduation practice. It work cuz graduation they like and we have awards that night and everybody's here around anyway. It seemed like everybody was whining because we got brand in May. We can't have school in May and now all of a sudden we got extra day. Is there any public comment? I have a question. When you make the motion, is it only involving the calendar? Will it include the We'll probably do them separately. Okay. Oh, sorry. Together. It's together, but you can do it separate if you want to. Oh, I see. So, the next page, are we ready for
015a motion on the calendar? Is there any other public comment? Any motion? I'll make a motion we accept the calendar. I'll second it. Reena made the motion to accept the 2526 calendar. second the motion. Is there any public comment? Public comment. Stop that. Any other board comment? Made the motion to approve the calendar for the 52.6 year motion. All those in favor say I. All those opposed, same sign. Motion carries. Is there any board discussion? Public comment. I just have a back over there. You should. Yes. Thank you. I always forget. I'm just looking for clarification because at the bottom we agreed that turn on. Um we agreed that if it worked out we would put it in the CD8. Will we have a meeting to have a consensus to whether we felt it worked
016out or not or will it just be a decision? Will we have a committee meeting before we decide to officially put it in the CBA? I think there will have to be a committee meeting. It has to be the IDB committee because I think that's what's in our solution in the IDB minutes. Okay. I just wanted to clarify. I'm pretty sure it's in Tracy's solution. Can you make sure that that what we just said is on the minutes because I did look I mean sat down but I did go back and look at the minutes and it said it would be added but I didn't think it had wording for consensus just said if we it it was vague I guess to how it would be placed in it says include all the solution that
017sunsets in one year if successful as deemed by the itself will be included in the CB 26 27. So it doesn't specify. It doesn't specify. So is that something we can put in the motion? is the um community or something. Yeah, I feel like that was that was the IBD committee that detail. Yeah, I was I should say that professional development committee. So down here like if deemed successful for the professional development committee it will be incorporated. So yeah. So it does say that it's in the just what in the it's the last successful special. Yes. It didn't go down far enough. Thank you. Yeah. Is there any public comment? Is there a motion? I'll move to approve theou as presented. I'll second it. Stephan made the motion to approve theou as presented. The second
018the motion. Is there any public comment? Public comment. Any other board comment? Stephan made the motion to approve theou as presented. BB second the motion. All those in favor say I. Okay. All those opposing sign motion carries. New business hiring considerations certified. Uh so we would recommend to hire um Mrs. Melanie Kimp back. Um just as a point of clarification, she had resigned. um she did uh receive the $1,000 bonus for resigning before that time, but she returned that thousand bonus. And so anyway, just to make sure that there's that clarification, she did not business um her she was in business. Um that her teaching assignment is still being fine, too. So they because our math teacher has a strong background in business and so her position is kind of being adapted right now. But
019it's a position we have to build. So that we need to fill any discussion. I guess that that was my question was what position she was going to be filling because I knew that she'd resign was from the business and then and she taught technology and she did a bunch of like she did a fair amount of technology at the elementary school and so some of this plays into how we're building the schedule and not only where she'll be this year but where she'll be next year so kind of down the road because there's a specific facilitator position tied to the Montana grant that by all by all pieces fits well with her background. Is there any other discussion? Board comment. Sorry. Public comment. Public comment. Any other board's comment? [Music] I move to approve
020the hiring of Miss Kempton for teacher 2526. I second. Stephan made a motion to approve Miss Miss Kempton for teacher 2526 school year reading a second the motion. Is there any public comment? Public comment. Board comment. Stephen made the motion to approve Melanie Kimton as a teacher for 2526 school year. Made a second motion. All those in favor say I. All those close same sign. Motion carries. Classified. So you have three bus drivers there. Recommend hire them for the routes and Kayla and Carol are going to be splitting out. Mary Denny will be driving a full time route. Is there any board discussion? So we know which frogs. Yes. Caroline Kay probably the same one flats melan. Okay. Any discussion? Public comment. Public comment. I feel like I am just Is there a motion? I
021move to hire the route drivers. I second. DB made the motion to hire the classified hires as presented for the 2526 school year. Um Reena second the motion. All those Oh, public comment. Public comment. DB made the motion to hire classified hires as presented for the 2526 school year. Reading a second the motion. All those in favor say I. All those opposed sign. Motion carries. Extracurricular hires. So in front of you, you have the list of all of the extra. We're still trying to find um one person junior high volleyball, but um on your list in front of you don't have in there, but it should have been in there. Kendall Shepard for the assistant volleyball coach. And so just make sure that's added in there. But the rest of them Russy Spencer high football
022coach Kayla Coulson girls assistant girls Jeremy Fry and boys assistant boys high school Jit junior high girls and junior high boys and Rodney Walker. I went to the bus rout. There you go. Kendall Shepard for same as last year. So Gwen didn't already hired Glenn and who was our high who was the high school volleyball coach before Glen this is the assistant the assistant and then junior high right we don't have junior high was Mr. Montes and he's returning home. Sorry, I thought you were talking about high school. No, it's like the Who had it? We have no applications for it. Junior high. We have one application currently. Well, let me rephrase that. We have one application and one um one of our foreign teachers has expressed interest in that and so letting them navigate
023some of their visa work before trying to lock them down for an interview. So we do have in essence two options for them. So, for the assistant uh coaches for the junior high, do they do the coaches get to choose who that is or do we vote on that or how does that work? That's not a paying position. So, we have no positions for that. So, those are all volunteer assistants and so um they in essence the coaches do be to choose that, but they have to go through their background check and they have to be approved. Um, not by us, by me in a sense, but they have to be approved to be legally around them. Volunteer list, don't they? Correct. So, it comes to the board as volunteer list, but if they're not
024already on it, is there any other board discussion? Any public comment? Public comment. Is there a motion back to the board discussion? Sorry. I guess um how did the interview with Rodney? My concern is time. Like that A position takes a lot more time than what you would think. For sure. So, and I know like he's a pretty busy man as it is. is scaling back on stuff. I don't ever want to determine whether somebody or not because everybody lives there. So, um, Lisa, myself, and Kayla were that were on that interview, I think. And so, um, yeah, I mean, I laid out at we had a long conversation about those things, but I don't know that I mean, I feel like time, he understands the time piece of it. And I again, part of
025that conversation is have to do the job or want to do the job. And so it's amazing how we find time when you want to do something for the things we want to do. And so um that's where we came back. Sports. Well, and I wasn't concerned about sports because he does he loves sports. He likes he loves going to the games. He likes traveling. So I was more the other the time it takes on phones and setting up the refs. And that's something we talked about like everything is done electronically anymore. seemed very willing to learn how to do that. And sounds like there's a plan of helping him learn how to do that. And there I learned some of the jobs that the 80s did were not necessarily jobs ads have to do,
026but they do have to find somebody to do them like all the bookkeeping and whatnot. But that was my concern. [Music] Well, didn't Amy and Carol stay pretty much taken care of so far this year? They did for this year, but I would like I'm always looking at longevity, you know, past just one year. And maybe with that piece taken care of, it won't be so much to learn all probably once to learn the transitioning into it. I think coaches probably get the most criticism of anybody, but last year it seemed like people were really really happy with the coaches. I probably heard more criticism towards um the junior high basketball coach, not from my family, but from other people. And um one thing that was brought up was uh one of the grade school
027girls was practicing and sitting in on the high school girls games or practices and I guess somebody said is that open to anybody or is that something AB should take care of or so two parts I'll kind of address the same thing there. Um, part of a a process with all of our coaches is, you know, looking as as we've kind of got went down the path of developing job descriptions for everybody, um, including our athletic directors, including our coaches, including all of our paid positions. You know, with that then becomes a conversation on how can we do your job better? And so, are we having those conversations about what does practice look like? What are what are we doing? what's what are we, you know, um trying to to coach our coaches is part
028of our AD's job. And so that is is one of my priorities this year with with hiring a new AD is making sure not and don't mistake that as telling coaches what to do, but saying, okay, well, what are we thinking about? How are like at junior high, for example, are we getting all the kids in the game? What what is practice looking like? Are we, you know, they in the practice? Are we are all kids participating? How are we treating kids at the high school level? You know, what does this look like? What's what's our goal for the next two years? Um participation number again, what does our practices look like? Um how do we coach give our chance give our coaches a chance to get professional development as far as coaches clinics or
029or bring coaches to us to work with them. So I I will say not specific to any one of our programs, but all of our programs we we no different than than our teaching staff or myself. I mean, we you know, if we're not improving, then we're just fluttering along. So we need to do a better job of that. Any more discussion? Is there any public comment? I thought I had You did, but then I interrupted. Is there a motion? I move to hire the coach has presented just the coaches. No, the whole thing. Extracurricular extracurricular hiring considerations with the Kindle stuck in it with the Kindle. Is there a second? I am very professional. I second DB made the motion to hire all coaches and AD as presented. We second the motion. Is there
030any public comment? Public comment. Board comment. DB made the motion to hire the coaches and ads presented including Kendall Shepard. Reena second the motion. All those in favor say I. All those opposed same sign. Motion carries. Superintendent no. Extended contracts. So we have two extended contracts. U Mrs. Ford will be working with the student in uh in class time and prep time approximately three days. So um she'll be breaking that 90 into chunks over the course of the year over the course of summer. Um so that's that piece. U Mr. Whitney um is we we've had a a great conversation about uh we're not going to be able to like rebuild our shop in the sense of tear down a build brand new building yet, but if you have walked through our shop in the
031last multiple years, a there's a major safety concern with the shop because you cannot see across the shop. So you can have students working on you can be in one part of the shop and have students working by saws or welding or whatnot and be able to see them. and then overall space design. Um yeah, it's interesting uh thought process when you put a um a tool shed in the middle of the room basically. um which don't know why don't can't say that but those tools are going to be placed on the wall and they can be locked up along the wall shelving cases that that then we have a much more we can have a setup where we've got woods on this side and shop on that side and with the intent of getting
032more kids in and out of the shop and making it first and foremost a more safe environment but a more usable environment for our kids and his um in visiting with him. Um, we looked at uh how long he would it would take and and came to the agreement. We talked about hours, but basically five days a contract. Any discussion? He answered my question about Miss Ford says defraud. Yeah, it does say. But I had a question about Mr. Whitney is there's some big heavy stuff. Is he going to have any help to move that or what's the plan there? So, yes, he will have as much help as I mean I've been made myself available to him. It's just um tearing the the initial stuff down. But our the plan truly is is to
033a maybe get the maintenance team in there to do some painting because we're not going to tear the shop apart and it's naturally dusty and dirty. But um yeah, he he knows that he can ask for whatever else and talked about FFA being involved in that. But I I'm going to leave that up to him to build his master lab. Well, if he thinks he can get it done in 40 hours, that's unable. That's all I have. Any public comment? Comment. A motion. I move that we extend uh the contract to Seth Whitney and Celeste Ford. I second it. Re made a motion to extend the contract to Seth Whitney and Celeste board for the summer 2025. Do we second the motion? Is there any public comment? Public comment. Any other board comment? BB made
034the or Reena made the motion to extend contracts to Seth Whitney and Celeste support for the summer of 2025. All those in favor say I. All those opposed sign. Motion carries superintendent contract. If if we I don't know if we are but if we are to agreement on what we left the last the work session before that um as far as 95 and the rest of the project we have set there um with days and all that I I would throw out and and obviously I think most of you figured out that I'm never going to look at a problem the same way everybody else does and so in doing that I think you you you have to create some opportunities there as well. So I would I would propose to add in there based
035on our conversation that whether it's 1% or 0.5% that you add a piece in that that any any new grant written that there can be a 05 or 0.1% added in there that not salary but would be that you should write into essentially superintendent superintendent so can you expand say that again okay so I'll just put it in as plain a terms as you can so you would basically say any any grant written and received by the school district um superintendent would receive could could write into the grant.1% per hour or bonus right into the grant. Correct. So, it's never it's ever a line coming off the hard and most grants have administrative fees written into those. So, I mean, I'm not going to say I'm I'm bad or good at that. Maybe I won't
036I'll go the other way. I think I'm pretty solid and finding money for the school district. So, um, in its own way, it's it's labor intensive and having the the resources to connect with the right people to get continue to generate those money. And I have no way of knowing. We may I may write 100 grants next year and we may get another, but I'm going to keep looking for them. So, that money comes straight from the grant you receive. You talked about that when we I vaguely remember that when we were negotiating before you came, right? I mean, we talked about something with grants. I mean, we tal we talked about a lot of it, but that piece in particular, I think then you're a then you're protecting the district and there's no there's
037no commitment. So, if you if there's a grant written next year for $10,000, but then nothing year after that, it's there's no It's not coming from that. There would be no guarantee money. You would have to be writing fee. You should get it. How does that work right now? Does anybody get that or where does it go or you just don't have? We essentially write it into like incidental things. It just it doesn't go directly to and some grants, let's be clear, some grants are specific that there can be no personal cost in those oper. trying to remember our discussion on this because we didn't discuss it and I don't remember what our our hold up was. I don't think we understood that it came out of the grant. Oh, I don't I didn't I
038did but there was something else. What what was the reason we Oh, maybe was there because I'm not saying you don't do all the work in the grant, but say you got help from Britney or Misty or anything. Then how to like break up? Oh, you get it fair.1% and they don't get anything or do we like 0.05% somebody else gets 05 can get messy. But I'm not saying that you don't do 99% work on something. That's that's not my question, I think. But I think that was part of our discussion before when it was brought up or I'm crazy. I don't want to just something I consider. you could tell me more than I could what that process. I just look at it and so far I I think through all the grants we've
039written this year and there's always depending on how you build it, depending on what you're doing. Um there there's always extra components, but somebody's got to be the lead on it. Somebody's got to take I mean let's let's go down the path of the the Montana lead. We're just and we're probably I mean that's five year. We're not going to get that for another five years. But I mean that was a 37page grant that I mean I don't did I meet with the teachers on that? I met with a group of of teachers and met with them for a couple hours. Um u did did Britney put plug that into the take the numbers and plug it into the the budget? Absolutely. They they did that. But I mean, so if you're I I don't
040want to say that it's it's 99% to one or 98 to two or five, but if you don't have somebody that's that's always looking for those and keeping an eye on those. What I do know is to be totally fair to our teachers, they will never have the time, nor do I want them, that they'll never have the time to be able to be spending hours on that. that's not not necessarily their job. Um Britney again probably not her will that she's going to spend all her time outside of work. And then I do think there's there's a component of you get you get lucky whatever how how you're checking do I have resources that maybe not everybody has as far as when it comes to writing grants probably. And do I try to leverage
041those best I can for the for the district? Absolutely. So I mean, did you keep note of what we worked on or what we came up with in session? Okay. So, I think the only thing we didn't come to an agreement on was how the salary was going to work. Well, Stephan came up with the last idea on that and then we left it. Yeah. And then we added to it. So you're and you go through over the next three years and you get to the end goal. Yeah. You have no memory. I remember I remember talking about you know stepping over the course of the next the contract instead of I didn't really say like a total or a number. I just think well then she said go by fives and told me and
042I thought we were going by fives by what it was me too. Yeah. Is there any discussion? I look at all three of you that are here. Is there any public comment? Just to clarify, when you say by fives, you go 825 to 875, then to 925. Then is that what you were mean? Well, we were going to start at 90 and then go 95 or 95 over the next till 2027. Y when you had to renegotiate again, we just need to know our starting number. Correct. We just were trying to come up with something. So there was no renegotiations till 2027 contract kind of like we do with our contract for two years. He would get this much this year, this much next year and then in 2027 you come back to the table.
043Correct. Okay. It's okay. I keep forgetting to tell you to go there. So we should just set the mic right here. So, with the the grant thing, do we have to put that in your contract or can't you just put that in as your administrative fee when you apply for the grants? I don't know. Or do we? I think you have to put that into the It has to be in the contract. I mean, you have to put that in contract. You can't just do that. Because I would be just like, you just be like, "Oh, I just take that off." Gotcha. So, we're not actually voting on the contract tonight. Yes. The terms of the contract. Oh, okay. The dates are done from January, but the terms are and I mean the contract was
044to 2026. So, we don't necessarily have to do anything, but I don't think that's going to satisfy either. So if if we do what Phoebe says, go to go to 90 and then go by fives, is that good with you? We start at 90. Well, I like your number better, but I really like 95 better than usual by the time the contract and give you the thing. Yeah. You like that? You want you happy? Well, no. I I mean, yeah. Yeah. I think that I think that's reasonable compared to all things that have gone on this year. I think 95 and five over the next three years to start at 90 this year and then go to 95 next year. Well, I would start at 90 I mean and give you the grant thing and
045start at 90. I I I'm just I mean honestly I'd rather I mean I think it's more fair to start at 95 and go from there. I guess why I came up with the 92 was the, you know, and you brought up about you're doing the superintendent and the principal job both, but the average salary across Montana this last year was 92. So, I guess that's why I kind of jumped on that number. I don't know if I can share. One of the board members gave me their two cents on this, but they're not here. So, I don't know if I can share that or not. No, I don't know. I don't know. Just don't say their name. Just don't say their name. So, another option is to accept all of the things and give
046him a $5,000 base, but that doesn't even get to 90. Well, not days. Say we say we go with what? you said about 925 and then we're taking the $200 rent basically it is 95 you know with taking away the utilities bills and we're covering it. So that's still a significant pay increase of one year. I mean that's like how I look at it is just one year to the next. Have a hard time seeing a massive jump. Not saying you didn't do a lot for the school, but it's it's easier to swallow over the course of the contract versus such a large jump. But that's just so I guess my only my only discussion on that would be we all we all have to to take you know you you had a walking interview
047this year. I mean you guys had to take a leap of faith last year and there was some hesitation um for whatever reason and that's that's that's great and I appreciate that. Um, so in the in the sense of meeting that middle ground or whatever, saying, "Okay, you're going to I'm not going to say you got a free year," but I felt very confident about my abilities to to lead and do what we're going to do in this district. And so I don't I don't look at it I guess I don't look at it as a large jump. I look at it as um you got a chance to test run the car and now you're you're deciding if it's worth leading for the next how many other years in the future and and I
048don't want to discredit the average salary. I don't want that and I I I won't take that. But I will come back to there's absolutely nothing average about what we've done this year. And so there's lots of superintendents you can get that aren't going to and you can look back on your own superintendent that are going to sit in the job and do the job quote unquote as the typical principal or superintendent. And they're not going to look at it as how can we improve the school, how can we do this? They're looking at it as a step to the next place. they're looking out of bed. So, I'm going to do the job from 8 to 5. Um, that's not me. And so, um, I don't I I absolutely understand our budget. I'm probably
049as good as anybody in the room. If we want a typical superintendent, then we're going to get typical results and we're going to go down the typical path and that's Did we ask for public comment yet? Clery, did I ask for public comment yet? No, you guys just have your board discussion. Is there any public comment? I don't know. I guess I'll go stand over here. I know. I kind of agree with Stefan where he says that that's a huge jump. I mean, we always get talk that budgets are tight. teachers got a 3% which is more than we normally get but we're still at the bottom of our salary. STARS Act is helping that but your veteran teachers don't get that big leap that your young teachers get and I would say $10,000 is
050an awful big leap in salary especially if he's asking to reduce his work base by two. That's my understanding. I could be wrong in what I understood where he says reduce by two. I missed part of that conversation and I guess you know he does a great job in some areas but I honestly didn't see him in my room very often you know and nothing against I know superintendents get busy a lot of superintendents have good intentions of coming and visiting every classroom once a week I would have to say that did not happen in my classroom I can't speak for any of the teachers or things like that and I don't know if it's because I was a veteran teacher here. He knew I was retiring and maybe I didn't need it, but I'm
051also on staff and I would have benefited also from business to him. So, that's just my personal opinion. So, there any other public comment? Do you want to say something, Brian? I uh strongly agree with Stefan. You're going to have a huge problem if you jump a pace rates that much in one year. Uh that is a good thing to know that that you know the average means is 92,000 public. you know, that's already a $10,000 raise like we're talking. Uh I mean, I don't I don't get up here to make things personal, but my child has suffered in the conditions in this school with some of the policies and I brought it to the attention of the administration. Uh it happened like three weeks later. Um so maybe he hasn't been in every classroom
052as much as he should have. So consider that, you know, because you're g it's gonna be hard to swallow if you jump with huge batteries. Is there any other public comment or discussion? We would have to set the percent as far as a grant or is that dictated per grand? like a portion you would get contract you were able or put so much into a grant. Do we have to say a percentage or would we just have to approve that? You can put you can do you can do it either way. You probably want to do a percentage. What are the grants usually? I mean, usually grants are anywhere from 5 to 10% of your administrative and personal state out the director for state grants is set six six% max is our max. you're allowed
053to. So like there's some grants we don't pull it from because they need it all for whatever reason for but they set your state rates. It's called a direct cost rate and you always put something in there that money just doesn't really not always. So in the past we've used indirect indirect cost rates to pay for like my work that goes into the grant if we've been low in general funds. So the last couple years we've had to have like title's a good example but we've had to use all the title funds not this year but previous years like to pay for that aid and supplies when title funds have been really low. So there was no reason to have it direct cost right then because then it's paying me and then robbing somebody else
054to pay them. You know what I mean? Yeah. But there are years that there's extra we write it in because we don't need all have allocation for all the years that a little different because Tyler you're allocated so much. You're not writing it for a million dollars. Us they say here here's your numbers and this is what you get. So it's a little different than writing. And what did you say you thought was a fair percentage number? 1% I would say 1% but one 1% of the grant total I guess back to the salary another thing I I think of is you know if it was just us you know it it wouldn't bother me at all but we represent our community and we have to go back to them and so too and Um,
055you know, I brought up the extreme payment in the past of some employees and that's because there was such public outrage at that and people were angry over it that the board would continue to. So, you know, we we kind of have to represent all people and still you know I I I think you deserve a race that I was just doing math. I saw you doing math. I was 7500 a year through the end of the contract get you close to your final asking number 105 instead 25 I guess this contract which 90 and then add in a clause for percentage on grants. I think that would be easier for people to swallow than going 95 to that 110 15 20 or 105 110 type. So you'd start at repeat what you said, right?
05695 96 would be 90 and 975 and then well can't go through a year. I keep thinking it's a threeyear contract, but we're already done one year. So I mean you're setting yourself up for that though. Yes, this terms of this contract would be 90,000 and then but then adding in also the the grant loss because if we did 1% that would still leave 5.6% 6% for whatever it's still right for indirect costs and those are not only allowable than those grants which is state I think so there's probably some grants that we write that are not those that have their own administrative cost because that's 5.6 Six is just for sters. I think it's 6.73 I think is what we're approved for or something like that. I think the as far as the compensation
057then we discussed with like at the end with successful evaluation. So you want to take like the days down to 130 or you leave the days just take two off or take two off each? I was yeah I like to take two off and then five this the way I was I'm looking at it is this if we do it this way then it just if we extend the contractor add on it we can just keep rolling with it and then we'll just have to put a cap on days and salary but right now we're obviously only discussing this contract so like but that's my mind is working ahead But if you have like those steps in there just kind of the teacher steps give you something to think 5 10 years down the road
058even though your contract's only for the next two. So when we vote on this this is final. Does it go then to our lawyer before it's all totally done? I can send it to them. We're worried you guys are wanting for clarification. Yeah, that's all. They've seen the rest of the contract. So, I can just send them. No, I just mean like Yeah, what we're put adding in there to make sure it is acceptable. I already I already chat you. Look at you go. Gemini it. Is there I I don't Anybody have any other thoughts on on those numbers or like I think that's good. Maybe I'm looking to see if he's smiling or not. I I'm I'm the the part about a negotiation is you're probably not going to smile if you have a
059negotiation. I mean, you got to get to a midpoint. Um I everybody's gonna be a little bit unhappy and happy at the same time. Yeah. There there's a compelling argument. I mean I would as she said on the when we had the meeting and she was talking about the bond passing we're one of the few schools in the state one of few schools in the state that grants like we did. I mean there's a lot of things that were not the average. So, is is it as my dad would say, is it better than nothing or better than a kick in the pants? It is. Is it truly maybe fair value? I don't know. I don't know if it is or not, but it's it's better than not can and and I I will always
060argue for anybody's contract having built into that because it just simply moving over on a salary or given another year and is how you get a raise that that never pushes people Can you read us what you have total or just the grand portion each part that we're changing? Okay. We settle on the 90 and the 975 that we're thinking. So if that's what we're thinking contract 2526 would be $90,000. contract 2627 would be 97,05. There would be a 238day contract for 2526 and a 236 day contract for 2627. Remove the payment of utilities monthly reimbursement of 150 per college credit completion like it says in there the terms for two years may commit to the district. Um, and then if you guys want to add the grant piece, this is what AI came up
061with. In recognition of efforts to secure additional funding for the district, the superintendent shall be eligible for a bonus equal to 1% of the total grant amount awarded to the district for any grant written and secured by the superintendent, provided that such grant includes administrative fees. The bonus shall be payable within 30 days of the district's receipt of grant funds subject to verification by the board that the grant was authored and co-authored by the superintendent and includes administrative fees eligible if that work to the district. This bonus shall be in addition to the superintendent's regular salary and shall not exceed if you wanted to annual unless other take out the last. Yeah, so as long as it's co-authorized and it includes administrative fees to the district. I've never written a grant before, so I guess
062to those who have written grants, does that sound good? And then when you did the compensation part, did you put that with successful evaluation? [Music] Um I said raises based on satisfactory or above evaluation. Okay. Does that sound good? Okay. Was there any other changes? Okay. Is there any public comment? Brian, you want to step the podium? So, most of these like I've been around in like banking industry or grant writing fees, he's being very generous on most of them are two to two and a half%. So, I mean that's awesome if he's happy with 1%. um as far as I'm concerned, but just so you know, most likeing fees that are anywhere between two and two and a half. So, thank you for that number. Any other public comment? Is there any other board
063discussion? Motion I don't want to say all that. How about you? You want to give you a line? I was typing already. Move to approve superintendent contract with the negotiated items as discussed. Have all those listed. What did she say? What she said? I move to approve the superintendent contract with the negotiation as discussed. I'll second that. Stephan made the motion to approve the superintendent's contract with the negotiations as discussed. BB second motion. Is there any public comment? Public comment. Board comment. Stephan made the motion to approve that approve the superintendent's contract with the negotiations discussed. DB second the motion. All those in favor say I. I. All those opposed, same side. Motion carries. [Applause] Bus routes. Uh for the bus routes, um they're all attached on a wonderful graphic there. Um class add one
064stop at one stop for sure. Still looking at adding a leg or whether that's a stop. The leg would be seven miles up, seven miles back. So we could potentially pick up at the starting seven miles. So if you look at the second graphic that um wiring one, that little white piece is the um added distance to go pick up four kids at the end of that route. So we can pick them up at the highway. We pick that. So that Ridgeway add one stop and then chalk changing the location of the start and stop. Is there any board discussion or do you have anything to add to it, Branson? Does the transportation when is it set? the transportation meeting. I've heard usually it's not it has to be before the end of the third
065week in July. Okay. So the one thing I would add to that just uh point of clarification the by adding the the mill iron route will be based on discussion um at board meeting that route will be in the mini bus. So trying to make best use out of resources that we have. So changing from a an expedition to a waiting bus and then 16 and you have to have a CDL driver for the So we have that's where Mr. Mr. Whitney will be driving the road. Okay. So okay. Is there any board discussion? Public comment. Public comment. Any other discussion or a motion? I move that we accept the best new bus routes for 2526. I'll second it. Rem Reena made the motion to approve bus routes as presented for 2526 school year. The
066second the motion. Is there any public comment? Public comment. Board comment. Reena made the motion to approve the bus routes as presented for the 2526 school year. All those in favor say I. I. All those opposed, same sign. Motion carries. Second reading of 3510P. So the only thing I would add to this is I've reached out to some of the wrestling parents in particular that was potentially most likely to impact them first. And unless you've gotten direct feedback from them, I have not. So, um, tried to make sure they were very aware that that policy was out there and what the requirements would be to add a new sports. So, there it is. So with adding a sport on page 101, does that mean the last line of number four, the superintendent and school board
067holds the final authority to officially sanction a new sport or activity. So both of them have to agree on if there's a new sport added. Yeah, if they've jumped if they've made it and I I don't want to say jump through all the hoops, but if they've had numbers, they co-op, they've done all those pieces, then it would come to us to send. Okay. Sounds like a viable option. Okay. Or discussion. Any public comment? Public comment. Is there a motion? I move to approve the second reading and adoption of 351. I'll second the motion. They be moved to approve the second reading and adoption of 3510P. I Lisa second the motion. Is there any public comment? Comment. Board comment. DB made the motion to approve the second reading and adoption of 3510P. Lisa second the
068motion. All those in favor say I. I. All those opposed, same sign. Motion carries. Policy 3410. So the only piece Yeah. Nothing's changing that to the 104 the last that last line off taken and completed prior graduation date in accordance with county high school graduation. So just a point of clarification that they need to have accomplished those credits before preparation. Is there any discussion? Any public comment? Public comment. There motion. I move to approve policy 2410P as presented. I second. Stephen made the motion to approve policy 2410P as presented. Maybe second the motion. Is there any public comment? Public comment. Board comment. Stephen made the motion to approve policy 2410. DB second the motion. All those in favor say I. I. All those opposed, same sign. Motion carries. Job description. The last two of a
069lot of job descriptions we brought forward. So the first we have science olympiad and um concession manager um point of we pulled the concession out of collect bargain. So it's an independent position um through all that information but $20 an hour those funds will come directly out of managing session. They don't come out of the general fund or so they're they're working they're running their own restaurant if you will um performance bonus. So we can we have locked down so by seasons by junior high ball by by football season by volleyball season we have a baseline for each one of those games or each one of those seasons if you will and so when we hire that person we will sit down and say here's so the number we made $6,000 off concessions 10 during
070football okay so in every thousand increment over $1,000 any thousand increase over that is a $100 bonus for that person. So um a the south the wage is competitive but the the more the the more there's an incentive for that science olympiad is just position that's just now what the expectations for science Is that it? I think she can catch up on this one. Were you done sharing? Watch the video. Watch the video. Yeah, tell her. No, I I did I had a discussion or question comment or possible reerting. Okay. So I didn't know she Yep. I think it's a good idea to put it to bed there for concessions. That's what I want to talk about. What? Okay. The incentives. That's we'll just stare at her as she walks in the door. Okay. Any
071more discussion? Stephan, um I I like the performance bonus idea. I would just change it from revenue to like a percentage of profit because if they have the right to set the price and if they set the price to making just a penny on every sale, then you sell a lot more stuff and then they get money back when they're not actually making the school more money or the athletics department or whoever is taking money from. So, I would I would like to see it as percentage of profit versus $100 for $1,000 revenue. So, can you draw a percent out for that? right there. It's so and that that's that's worded because setting that goal would be based on we made $6,000. So instead of just saying you could just change that revenue to profits.
072That's how I I would word it is profits versus revenue. Okay. Is there any other board discussion? Any public comment? Public comment. Board comment or motion. I make a motion to approve the job descriptions as presented with the change of performance bonus being profit instead of revenue. I second it. Stephan made the motion to approve the job job descriptions as presented other than the word change of revenue to profit. Reena second the motion. Is there any public comment? Public comment. Sorry, my brain's starting to go. Stephan made the motion to accept the job descriptions as presented other than the word change of revenue to profit. All those in favor read and second the motion. All those in favor say I. I. All those post sign. Motion carries. Lease agreement. So you guys have the lease
073agreement in front of you for Kend for any of our foreigners coming in. We've we've checked with them and they're one we've already got one in the manor and the other one it's dangerously too big for I mean one wouldn't want to take you off running into a single person but you gota I mean if you're trying to maximize your dollar you're going to try to take the smallest expensive That was the same question I had. If I mean I have no problem with leasing it to Kendall. I just didn't know if there was a greater need for it somewhere else. But if there's not really then then do we have to do your lease agreement? because I think that the only thing I saw in there that could be annually was the pet pet
074deposit thing. I don't know what's that in the No, I just attached it papers. I attached it contract because of I was reading it somewhere and I even made a note there but I didn't look at it. Um on this agreement so you typically have had one of the um committee members before facility or grounds committee members do the walk through in between Macy's and so when we go between he's off uh if Mr. Cathy wants to do it or Arnold Brie. We just had a school person and then a board member. So last week in July is when the trailer house will be empty between and then something that it's in these lease agreements that we do a walk through May 1st and November 1st. And I think that that's something that we just
075need to put on the calendar and That's the day and I don't know if I just get together with you to or I mean whoever's going to do the walk through. I think it's really good to have your Arnold and somebody else a board member who Mike D or David can do that because they're right here. I won't be blocking anyways, but I would like to make a note to just put it on the calendar so it gets done. I don't know. Can that schedule it right now? Can it just [Music] be like in our month meeting things that meeting and Michelle should be like on our October meeting and our April meeting then, right? To schedule the walk through for November 1st and May 1st decides to house twice a year. I don't even
076I have eight rooms and I never been in some of their houses for three years. I pick up the money. You may be surprised. Just myself reminder that I'll put on the board counter. Public comment. Public comment. Is there a motion? I move to approve the lease agreement for Kend. I second it. BB move to approve the lease agreement for Kendall KDman. Reena second the motion. Is there any public comment? Public comment. Board discussion. PB made the motion to approve the lease agreement for tennot. All those in favor say I. All those opposed and sign. Motion carries. transfer of funds. Um so we have money still in 150 which is the building front for the elementary. So it's the left over from the bond for the elementary. Um it has to be moved to 161.
077So the auditor is the one that's why we have them. That's the thing with fund balance and it should have needed to get moved sometime this year since we paid the bond off last year. So the remaining balance from 150 needs to have board approval transfer to be moved to 161 per Montana code. Is there any board discussion? Board discussion. Any public comment? Public comment. Is there a motion? I move to approve the transfer of funds for 150 to 161. I second it. Stephen made the motion to approve the transfer of funds of 150 to 161 for our auditor. Is there any public comment? Do we second motion? Is there any public comment? Public comment. Stephan made the motion to approve the transfer of funds from 150 to 161 for our auditor. Maybe we second
078the motion. All those in favor say I. I. All those opposing sign. Motion carries. Um opening of fund 284. So I've also talked to the auditors in regards to the student extracurricular activities account. He is fine with us just opening one and not one on each side because that's where we currently have it at summit. And so in order for me to transfer the money before your end, you need to open fund 284, which I'll add to your fund cheat sheet for the budget that will be all student activities. So, and I guess looking at that going forward, you guys will have to let me know. Um, if you want it broke out, I can, but you guys have never seen those before. If not, one to 284 will include music, closeup, FFA, CLA, athletics.
079I mean you look at don't just think athletics it includes all of those things all your classes science is in there I think drama yearbook must be like 12 or 15 subs and this is just anytime we open a new we don't currently have existing has to be Okay. Board discussion. Public comment. Public comment. So motion. I move that we approve the opening of fund 284. I second. Reena made the motion to approve the opening of fund 284. We second the motion. Is there any public comment? Public comment. Board comment. Reena made the motion to approve the opening of fund 284. They second the motion. All those in favor say I. I. All those opposed same sign. Motion carries. Policy 3510. So point of reference discussion items. So we're not voting on it, but um
080so school sponsored activities if they are not in our district and so we if a student is in our district um in our county, it doesn't matter. I mean that's a whole different conversation. This is based on if a student is not currently living in our county um and they are participating in one of our extracurricular activities, what should that actually look like? So this is um it's it's kind of a gray area across the board. Um and so if we have a student that is say homeschooled and they participate in sports or FFA or FCCLA, we get um pr-rated funding from the state. So they get 116th of the A and B for them. And so we get a chance to I mean it basically is covering their cost buses and all those kind
081of things just like in a way others but as part of our county because if a student is not in our county then a we do not have to allow them first and foremost. Um B we get nothing. So they are so in theory it sounds minor but if you add two more kids to a bus then they're right. They're riding the bus for free. They're staying in a hotel for free. They're doing all of those things. Um, so what should that be is a question we're bringing. We've had this conversation about to the board thinking should there be an activity a set activity for this? Now, are we going to face this a lot? Don't know. I can't say or tell you we're going to face a lot, but I do know currently we're
082facing it. And so it brought up the question of a could we even do it? Could a kid even participate if they're not in our county um be a member of SCA FCCLA or FFA or whatnot? Um so they can but then we have them to kind of think about what? So does that just include FCCLA and FFA then? Because MHSA covers high school sports. So, is there anything else that that could go towards? Um, well, I mean, I might it could probably apply to science if you had some sort of testing as they were choosing that kid. I want to be on a science Olympiad. I mean any of those quote unquote clubs they could apply to but primarily FFA or FCCLA. Can you say how many students right now that that would and
083FFA and FCCLA raise their own money for everything except for state and national? What does the school front money? Because I know with our policy that we did like you have to make it or is it districts divisionals that's still their own funds pay for those meals. They just use those funds until they need those that you're talking about for the half. Yeah. Like what do we actually pay for of FCCLA and FFA? I mean I know I know okay and I don't know if it's a good problem or a bad problem but I'd rather have a discussion before right kids live I mean it brings up a whole separate question in the world of technology, but if you're on, let's say, let's say you're in FFA, how are you participating in practices? I mean,
084how are you? And what's that that falls back on the coach or the advisor, you know, making sure that there's some sort of requirement that we're not somebody's just joining to join kind of, you know, students are required to raise money too, right, to go into it. I know at some point they each had to raise a certain amount of money in order to participate in some of those post activities and be part of the fundraising. I don't think they they didn't raise and didn't help they didn't get to go certain places but I don't know I'm not positive. I know at one point it used to be that way policyy's changed or not but or not policy but patience I guess I should say. Is there any other public comment? Any other board questions?
085So, did you talk to the FFA and what did they say? Have we talked to them? Yeah. Um, we talked to try to get clarification after the FFA banquet. We literally became an issue at that moment like how is this young person not in our county, not how does this an officer? So we just started asking questions just because we were nervous that kind of like the lines of sports like all of a sudden you win something or you do something and they say yep. So what did our FFA advisor say? Um we got we did not get a definitive answer from it. He had just contacted the state to make sure that it was allowable which it just yeah it is allowable because he got clearance from the state FFA board that would allow
086it. So then it came back to AIM and OPI and I called them and they said they don't have any restrictions on the fact that we can't claim them. So then it just becomes our what our policies and procedures are around it. I I mean I'm sure there are some schools that don't allow period. So it just depends on what we want to do for our district. And you know, one of our county kids is not an officer because somebody that lives over there is an officer, which isn't fair to me. Well, and and and you can see like I can see that good situation, the bad situation. You can see where a kid similar to what's playing out right now. Kid that's lived here, that's living here, is part of ours, built friendships, built
087all that, and they moved to a new place. And so then you could also say well there's the kid that hates the FFA advisor and you know name the town and they're like oh well I can just join this because I do know that and I want to join theirs and so I mean in the policy or however we want to build it maybe that's the piece we want like if the kid starts in our FFA program then they're allowed to continue participating in our if they leave or but do we want to be the if we're going to like the shopping center like any kid can join our FFA then probably a once some academic restrictions on it but there is a financial consideration that has to huge but we want them to like
088not just jump ship because oh we hear this one's easier or whatever we want to you know make sure protect our our we don't want our whole officer team to be out of count can we think about this discussion and for you guys to ponder and think about and go and ask more questions and then I mean we'll bring it back as a policy or whatnot what and then we have two readings to revise it. Does anybody else have any other questions? move on to organization organizing social media accounts. authorizations. So in the world world of technology, this is again this is discussion item. So please look through it and uh yeah, I've spent a way too much time on this one in a past slide. So it's a great starting point for us um
089truly stolen from another district. Um it's like dangerous stunn. I'm borrowing it. It's my policy kind of thing. another place. Um, so social media having a kind of a laid out as far as what social media district represented social media a policy on that two pieces of that policy that need to be considered. a individually um if I am superintendent, teacher, coach, whatever, and I am stating on my social media page that I am, you know, I am a representative of the school and I am politically going off, that is not that's not protected. And so we want to make sure we have, you know, put that so that we all know like you can't just run off at the mouth. Um the other part the bigger piece is is if there is a web
090a tool and we can use a Facebook page we can use Tik Tok we can use Instagram we can use any of those that is a representation of a team or organization. So, for example, we have an FA page that if you have a basketball page or we have a volleyball um page that there are some basic requirements for that that you have multiple you have an administrative member, you have three adults that are three different staff members that have access to that page. Um for I can give you a lot of horror stories about it, but I mean you can make up a couple. I mean, if you you end up with a a coach or or advisor being fired and they're the only one with access to that, now you're kind of in
091an interesting pickle with what what's being said or what's being done on that. If there's a person that takes the wrong medication at night and goes into some weird thing and starts typing random things, you you want to be have somebody else be able to go, "What is happening?" and and be able to edit that. And and the last piece just is from a a school standpoint and I mean I know I'm guilty of that. Um like our our main Facebook page or whatnot, we have four people that have access to that. There's a typo. I mean we all life happens and you make a typo but somebody can grab that page and quickly create it because grammatically and you know wise you don't want to have like the school represented by that. So, uh,
092the policy is just put in place to to basically protect the school and make sure everybody knows kind of here's here's the guidelines that will um, and just make sure that if you're representing yourself, you can knock I mean like you're representing yourself, you're doing anything personal, we can like have at it. That's that's you're right. But if you're representing the school, then um there's a little bit of oversight. Does anybody have any questions? Is there any public comment? Public comment. Board discussion consent agenda there's anything too special. Um there are no cash budget sheets because it's so early in the month. I don't get those back usually before everything else is there. As far as the expenses, um I will start moving some money to make sure we capitalize all of our general fund
093dollars. So those will be as close to 100% spent by Jud as I can get them. So you'll it'll probably still look interesting on July because a lot of those adjustments don't appear on this report, but I will adjust it down to the hand. So we don't get any high fives for saving money in the general fund. Are we compensating whoever's volunteering to mow or not know if the one is broken? Well, um it's kind of an interesting I wish I would have paid more attention to being a mechanic if my dad was in that. But um no, because I mean at this point we're not mowing. We're waiting to hay and collect some mail. So um the lawn. The lawn mower. Um, we have one is totally out of service and the other one
094is needs and different things. So, when that happens, I actually enjoy mowing very much. So, I would love to drive around on the tractor and mow whatever. I don't I enjoy doing it. You just can't fix it. I'm fixing it. Are we When is this lawn mower purchase being decided? We we've looked at a couple sheep budgets. I got a couple brands. We're going to reach out and see how fast they can get us one and then we'll probably because it'll most likely be $5,000. Then if it's below that, then we won't have it. But if it is, we'll have a special phone meeting to look at. So sooner than later. I just didn't know if we needed to find somebody to Well, I mean, I reached out to the local mowers and they were
095swamped and Okay, I can that's the first I mean, I'd offer, but my good we didn't want all the grounds to go to seed. That's good for the grass and actually good for the water bill as well. But we're to the point that it's gone to seed. So why don't you want it to go to sleep? You do want it to Oh, I was like I thought you said you don't. I'm like why not? I noticed when I walked over to the vents and it's a little Yeah. Um what's the dash cam for? The bus. The bus. Okay. So, back to that one. We had the pictures broken window on the activity bus. We had I mean, if we would have had a dash cam, we probably could have had that because if it's But
096it wasn't paid for because you didn't have a dash cam because you can't necessarily locked out what it was. Yeah. But your insurance doesn't cover it. Our It's more than that. Our claim is more our deductible is more than I see what you're saying. I see. Every every incident has to meet your deductible in order for it to be paid. We have a met and is a 55 inch class crystal a TV or what is that? It's got to be Samsung. Okay. Class Crystal. Okay. That's all the questions. Is there any discussion? Public comment. I could come tomorrow with my writing lawn more if you really need me to. I'll let you take it up with the office. I had no idea you guys were in front. That's not Yeah, I run into a bad
097thing. We'll get out of this meeting and you can discuss it with them. Okay. Um, I have no clue. Where am I at? I have a comment. Motion. Whatever. Let's roll. It's Stephan's job. We're not.
