001Okay, we're back. So, to our board, I'm going to make an interruption. This is Jordan Dennison. He's the new custodian. And I know that a lot of you have probably not seen him. He has taken over the shoes of whatever and doing a great job. And I think that um let's give him around. Yeah. >> So, that's what he looks like. There you go. Thank you, Russ. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Okay, so we are back in close session. We are recording again. >> Um I will make a motion that we accept um the student and questions request to graduate at the end of fall semester and walk in the graduation ceremony. >> Do we have a second? >> Second. >> All those in favor >> oppose. Okay, now it's time for the committee
002reports and meetings. Uh, so buildings and grounds. >> Okay, so Russ spoke on everything that's going on with all the projects and the one one that he spoke on would be extending the contract for the elementary father. Guess I don't need to go into any detail on that. Pretty cut and dry. That would be the recommendation. on the high school. Then we have one or on the elementary, I'm sorry, and then we have one on the high school. Can we do them both or >> vote on them separate? >> Okay. So, that would be the first one. Anybody got any questions or everybody understand it? >> Okay. So, we need a motion or does that count as the motion? >> That'll make that the motion. Second. Okay. All those in favor? Brand can't make the
003motion through the elementary school. Yep. >> Sorry. Go ahead. >> I'll make the motion. >> We have a second um elementary districts only. So, all those in favor? >> I I said something. Okay. Motion passed. >> So then the one other project that Russ would like to get finished up at this time then it's going to kind of be wrapping things up which will be nice through the winter hopefully would be doing the grease trap off the ice cold cafe. Uh the dirt work and supplies and labor would be $20,000. and I can make that recommendation. >> Okay. Do we have a second? >> Would um that 20,000 does it kind of help putting off one project for you know essentially almost a year and squeezing this one in >> budget wise? >> Like yeah
004budget-wise for the way you work your monies. >> Yes and no because we've already made the commitment to the plumbing. So, I mean, we'll just pay them a smaller amount, >> but this comes out of a separate budget. >> Gotcha. >> So, the elementary school budget and the high school budget are different. So, >> well, honestly, the other thing Cali brought up at the building grounds committee meeting last night was that we're paying a monthly fee to get it cleaned out now >> and we're going to catch up to what it's going to cost just redoing it matter a couple caught up to >> 3,000 bucks to probably set >> they come down and jet it out. It's >> it's kind of hole in the ground with more money at this point. So it'd be
005good. We're kind of almost money ahead by >> biting the bullet and just taking care of it. >> We have delayed the process of this. We actually talked about this in June and we're proposing this as a committee in June, but we postponed it until um Cali felt comfortable that we could arrange it um and make sure that everything was taken care of. So, we've waited a couple more months and then we actually were ready to close for the SW and they're ready to uh go as soon as I give them the okay tomorrow. We we're hoping we're going to dig next week. >> So, good day. >> Well, Dave, >> it's Two Rivers. Um Dave up here be digging and then Craig has got the grease trap party ordered. So, >> we need a
006second. We already have a second. I'll second it. >> Okay. Are there any other questions? >> Seeing there are none. We'll vote. All those in favor? >> I >> oppose. Okay, >> that's it. >> U policy meeting we will have to reschedule. >> Please. Yeah, Dusty. I talked to Dusty and he gave his regards that he couldn't be here but and there was a messages going back and forth and then he traveled and so yeah. So here we are. So if we could just reschedu that please. >> We'll get that um personnel committee. >> Yeah. So couple things. The classified members uh there the union needs 12 members. There's currently only two. So they're meeting next this week. So, we'll just kind of wait and see what happens there. >> Um, other thing we did
007discuss is the transportation department uh head. Um, it had been discussed previously, but we're like to offer them $3,500 um raise the salary to make them more competitive. It's other districts. And so that's one thing that we would like to >> recommend >> or recommend. >> So do we count this as a motion? So we need a second. >> I'll second. >> Okay. Are there any questions or discussion? Okay. If not, um all those in favor? >> Opposed. Okay. >> And that's it. >> Okay. Um, since Dusty is not here, do we wait to reschedule? Like, do you find any? >> I think we're good for next week, but I think it would be wise. >> Yeah, I wanted to schedule that. Do we need to schedule any other committee meetings? >> What was that?
008That was after we announced. >> No, this is just overall >> supervisor. >> Um would the personnel committee look at our cafeteria workers wages? >> So they're in that union. >> Yeah. >> Oh. >> So everybody else is in that union. The only classified people that are outside that union are Russ Paul, myself, and Connie Walker. and our activity drivers. Everyone else is inside that union. >> Okay. >> So, we have to figure out what's happening with them before we can do anything. >> Gotcha. >> You're asking about a particular group of people. That's what part of the conversation the committee had. >> Yeah. Okay. >> You know, so but any of those decisions about a particular >> So, they're just under the umbrella of the school. Nothing happened. What's happened with you? Gotcha. Okay.
009I guess that we should probably have a meeting because that'll be next next week or something that will >> hopefully that they all and they get met with that union rep and then the union rep back to them. Should we wait though? We can wait and I can send out an email when Allen has the answers. >> That sounds good with me. >> Okay. Any other committee meetings? Okay. Move on to resations. So, I regret to uh submit to you tonight Amy Hansen's resignation. Um she they have sold her house and her last day will be on um September 26th. I forgot in my report, so I just waited until now to share that. We have interviews tomorrow with two individuals. Uh a third has applied, but we're going to do the two interviews tomorrow
010and then make a decision about what to do forward. The hope would be that we could hire have them work with Amy one-on-one prior to her departure on the 26th. The learning curve will be steep and um the value she's added to the school district will surely be missed. So um so that's that resignation. Samantha Dennison is unusual. At the last board meeting, we we accepted her uh for a PAR position and unfortunately she has left the school and I'm absent of a letter of resignation other than a message to one of my staff. So yeah, she hasn't returned and I I apologize. I don't have a physical letter to give you, but yeah. Um we have uh help me out, Melissa. Ian >> and I uh so we need so I need recommendation to
011recommend some people to hire and I I apologize I can't remember what we hired in there for >> kitchen that's right yes >> so many things >> so yeah so many things >> so many things >> so actually I have uh we have two people to hire but if I I would uh request a motion to hire Melissa Gian in the kitchen Second. >> Okay. Um, all those in favor? >> I opposed. >> Second one is Patricia Petty and she is willing to be a subteer when needed and work in the kitchen as well. We are just uh so I would ask for the recommendation to hire her pending her background check. >> So moved. Second. >> All those in favor? I opposed. Great. I thought we were going to be I was going to
012be telling you that we asking to hire Chad Hartzel. He's new to the community um as a special ed PA. He's changed his mind, but he would like to still be considered as a substitute teacher. I think he'll I think those we're going to have some value from him possible coaching. He's coached baseball before and uh so we'll see about that in the future. But so I would kindly ask for recommendation to hire Chad Hartzell as a subsidy feature. >> So moved. >> All those in favor? >> I oppose. >> Chad had also spoken with uh Paul about being a bus driver and I can't recall there was a couple people that kind of talked to him and there's there's a piece of that excuse me is that certification. I think it's the the student
013transportation driving buses that he has to that certification thing he has to complete, but I believe he's interested in that as well. >> So stay tuned about that. >> Um, a name you may be familiar with, Bradach is volunteers, been willing to volunteer to help us. We have an unusual situation with a student who was uh enrolled in our school last year, went to the Montana Youth Challenge. We had two students that did that last year. Um and the agreement we made with Montton Youth Challenge is that when the students successfully complete their program, part of that includes the preparation for them to set the high set. The high set now is the exam that Montana recognizes as a high school equivalent exam. Back in the day, used to be the GED. Now it's called
014the highet. Similar in concept, that's five areas tests they have to pass. And with that equivalency that they they would or Montene Youth Challenge would share with us a student could earn their high high school diploma. Unfortunately, the student was unsuccessful in passing the high set with Montana Youth Challenge. Um the student turns uh 19 this fall and so and they're going to be transitioning to JobCore. And so um we met we did a we did qualified the student for special education services and then in the in the interim between now and the time they go to job core I talked to Mr. rider back about supporting him to prepare for the high set while he's here. And so he reenrolled in our school um by age he's still okay and he will be with
015us for a few handful of weeks but anything we can do to bridge his gap of understanding to be able to prepare for the high set I think is again it's still value added for us and I think it's a it's a meaningful service to provide to him. Did an incredible job at the Montene Youth Challenge. It was a really good program for him but unfortunately he was unsuccessful. So, uh, I would ask for a motion to hire Brad Eddach as a volunteer and it's a high set tutor to help with the student prepare for the high set. >> That's a part-time thing, right? >> Yeah. So, it's it's interesting because he's coming in for an hour a day when he's coming in and and the reason he didn't he wasn't interested in being paid.
016So, this week it might be three times, next week it might be twice. I mean, so they because Mr. Turnerback has some family commitments and and and um like today uh the student was off to great falls giving some new glasses for example. So they're working on a calendar and we're just the kid and mom are happy that we're providing support and Mr. Bach's happy to come whenever they can work out their calendars together. >> I'm confused as to why this student is enrolled. Is this student taking classes with us or >> in order we we wanted to um test them with special education services because they were with us a short time before they went to the Montana Youth Challenge and they weren't here long enough for us to make a recommendation to begin
017that testing protocol. So in order for us to we wanted to start that we we had them enroll. And so if you look in the if you looked in the schedule, it basically says he's having one one period of study skills because he qualified for special education services and the other halfime enrolled basically because the other periods are are are um work study. >> Okay. >> So it it was we're going to be working with them. We're providing educ and b you know it'll be half a half partially enrolled student. Gotcha. during the time I mean supposing he's still for the first Monday in October. >> Okay. >> So that's a good question. >> I'll make that motion. >> Okay. Any other questions? All in favor? >> Post. >> Yeah. One question back. So like
018on like Patricia's petty has back ending background check. Are the rest of the people that have their background? >> The other background. >> Okay. Yeah. Yeah. It's a good question. >> Yeah. >> And then we have one more hire that I made. Jenna bots, >> right? Uh you might recall that you accepted her Jenna bots resignation last spring in a family situation that prevented her from working full-time, but she's come back now and she's working part-time at elementary school. Would like to work part time at elementary school. >> Been reinstated. So I would ask for a recommendation for us to retire Jenna Bots at elementary school on a part-time basis. >> Yes. >> As apparent. >> Okay. All those in favor >> I post. >> Okay. Future agenda items. Have anything other than Yeah. Those
019meetings scheduled if we need to. If you're interested in going to MSL, just let all know. Okay. Who wants to move to >> all those favor? >> Thanks. Thank you. Yeah, about
