This one doesn't have to be notorized. Jill could notoriize it, but this one does not have to. All right. On to committee assignments. You threw all this stuff at me. Now I'm discombodulated. So here are our slide. We work so well together. Our current committee assignments.
008We have seven committees, activities, buildings and grounds, policy, transportation, negotiations, hiring and budget. Um there are current um assignments there. I talked to Kelly and he would like to stay in his current appointments. Um, talked to Craig. Craig would like to stay in his current appointments. Um, anybody anybody want to move around something? Sorry, I gave my copy. Okay. Thank you. Um, so on budgets, so the the committees that Jason was on include budget, transportation, and building and grounds. And so Jenny, I think a great um committee for you to be on for sure would be budget. It's a really nice like intro to the school budgets and whatnot. I agree. Um, so then we have um transportation and building grounds. Building grounds. So, is anybody feeling move to building? I was going to say
009I can stay on one of those obviously Jason's place. So, whichever um I think building your grounds is also a good entry point. I mean, to to kind of learn how things work. Um but I'm really open to staying on either one of those. That's that's fine. Because how many are you on transportation? transportation. So, I guess the other thing that I would just ask everybody to consider um with the policy or with the committee appointments is that like you look at your schedule and Craig and I talked about that like with our work schedules and stuff like what we're doing is kind of what we can do. Um, so just look at your and you look at your personal life, your personal schedules and everything, your work schedules. Um, and just make sure that
010works with your committee committees that you volunteered for. Um, but so do you want to be on building and grounds? It doesn't matter, Jenny. Doesn't matter. Whatever you want to assign to me, I will do board chair. Oh, yeah. I agree. Building and grounds is kind of a nice one. Um, so yeah. I don't know. Do you want to take You can walk around and see. I mean, I know you went to school here, but it's kind of fun to see everything the science room that have been there. Yeah. Well, and I think that it it pairs nicely with some of those things together. So, I would love to be on those too. That would work really well if I need to. Yeah. Anybody else for transportation? I would like to stay on building and
011grounds and negotiations. The other ones I What's You want to leave me? No, I mean I'm I'm fine with because you know I I thought Kelly would jump at the chance to leave me in the policy. No, you actually do all the work. So I but I do enjoy going through that. So I'm fine with staying there. Um you know I don't you know are you you want to say hiring? Well, I don't know about I don't know if I want it, but I know sometimes you have a hard time getting it. Well, I mean, I have work three days a week, so it just depends. It just depends. Because it, you know, if you want to stay on there, that's that's fine. But I mean, I'm fine with the three I have. I would
012take whatever. Okay. Well, Jenny, I'm going to assign you to the transportation. Sounds great. That's fine. I'll just stay on policy. So, and Kathy, are you okay with staying where you're at? Otherwise, negotiations and hiring. And Karen, are you okay with Okay. Um, so then the other thing I guess with committees that I would just ask everybody if you cannot um attend one of your committee meetings, scheduled committee meetings, um that you let the committee Oh, we need to assign committee chairs. Um but you let the committee chair know and um also probably the superintendent. And if you can find somebody to take your place on that committee, that's ideal. So, we'd like to have um a nice mix um of our three members um three board members on those committees if we can. So,
013we'll just go down the line. So, right now, activities, Kelly is the chair. And don't we usually mix these up a little bit or we try to just so it doesn't feel like it's so much work for the same person, right? Except for politics. No, it's not changing or I'm off the committee. Uh, so activities. So, Kelly's currently the chair. Um, Don or K you want to tell me, but K is from hiring. So, does she want to Kathy was Oh, Kathy was Yeah, she just started that. She did. So we can say the same year a good job. So and activities has Kelly been the chair for more than a year? You had hardly been on it for years. Yeah. Okay. Well, we'll keep him the same. Building and grounds. Uh Ken, you're the
014chair. Um do you want to stay the chair? I mean I'm on there and Jenny's on there, but I don't know. You know, you could do that and I could take negotiations if you want to switch. Well, I'm the chair of No, you I don't want to be the chair of building. Okay, I'm going to take that. Because Jenny wouldn't be We could move Jenny to that. I don't know. Is that Is that a good idea? I don't know if that's a good idea. All you have to do is say I call this moving. Okay. Yeah, there's no motions. There's no nothing. And and I mean in organizing meetings, I mean that kind of thing is fine as long as it's not just that. And then in the regular board meetings for building grounds. Okay.
015You'll be called on to like report that sounds great. But you can tell the superintendent, hey, we need a a meeting. Can you schedule it? Sure. That's okay. The practice is typically that I hear from the chair or we just know there's a meeting coming up and then I'll just do a group text. Okay. We we don't want to scare you off, right? Yeah, that's why I was just, you know, kind of let that slide and and see if I could Yeah, that's great. Uh, so policy, I'll stay the chair on that one. Transportation. Um, so that's Don Craig and Jenny. Would you like to be Yeah, you're just getting rid of all your responsibilities. Uh, negotiations. Ken, you want to take that one? I would do that. Um, hiring. Kathy's going to stay the
016chair there. And then budget. So, Jason was the chair of budget. So, we have Craig, Karen, and Jenny. Ken, you want to be the chair? Okay, you're gonna have so much fun. Is everybody cool with the committee assignments? All right. Anything else? Former chair. All right. Do I take the IT guy? Friday when you when school is over, you can package those up. I will actually not be here
