005certain bill in uh wasn't the chambers it was in committee I want to thank you for that one as well okay correspondence we have the whipley represent rep that is just their letters of explanation and then Tony will present the a report letters of work we have the middle school student representative leadership Pizza PowerPoint hello hello so these two UHA and Lacy have been working on a project um in our lion mentors program so they have some handouts for you guys and then uh it's up on the TV so I'll let these two girls taking away for you guys so me and Lacy are here to present to you um our student service project for our land mentoring class with Mrs Canfield um unfortunately she couldn't meet you today but she's our advisor um so
006for our Serv project we wanted to improve leadership in our school and so we lately came up with the idea for a leadership Pizza um the overarching goal of this is to again improve leadership and make our school a better place um so for this this is the first PowerPoint that we um Tau the our advisory classes during advisory class in the middle school for 6 through 8 um so so this was the first slide and basically this just an introduction um to our actual project and what leadership really is and what we want the mentees to view leadership as or the advisory classes to view leadership as um so this slide is basically our plan and this is introducing our plan of what we wanted to do so this is just a very simplified
007version of it the first thing we wanted to do was to teach leadership then after that we expected to see an improvement in leadership um due to the mentors and another group called hope Squad that will be teaching the lessons and then our very end goal what we wanted to see was to have a better learning environment um so in the SE that Lacy found um there there's eight slices each slice represents a different um quality of leadership the eight license represent Integrity vision and Inspire empathy valuing and acknowledging others prioritization self-efficiency self- awareness and passion and purpose um so for our project we had lessons and activities during advisory classes and so we got funding for the activities from another group the um walkwood boys and girls club that's where we got our findings
008to do this and we are continuing or we're hoping to get more Fone to it over the next over the next few years from um this group called lead for change we're doing the packet inline mentoring um this was just an activity for the advisory classes for after we taught them and we LED them to what um our project was about and what the goal was Lacy spent a lot of time on this so that's just um a simp version of our goal and what our actual project was uh we're happy to take any questions I have a question how did you guys um get your finding I know you said some words and go so how did you guys go about doing that so um we actually set up a meeting with Brian the
009CEO and um he brought um two other people Stephanie and Robert and then so we did another presentation or so least couldn't make it to that one so me and our adviser Miss Canfield we presented our project to those three to get our funding and then they just gave us they sent checks to our um to our group account beforehand for research um we he was also one of the leaders we wanted to um like question for our feedback in if leadership would make our school a better place and then the idea of him helping fun just kind of rolled off with that are in your group that did the leadership the gr additionally there's four of us um but then one of them drop that alignment other one switch groups so now it's just
010us two so you two to pick a day when you can get away for lunch and I think you should have talk about maybe more where we can help witho so you're have to exposive okay we'll other question last year and one of the units I guess you could call it was like um fee debate and so we just we had little debates it was like it was only three kids in the class it was me and these two other boys and so we just searched up topics and then we just had a little debate on that it was really fun you also played the lawyer in our fifth grade oh yeah fifth grade we had this little law kit thingy and so it was Miss Bri classroom and Miss Lewis's classroom and like got
011together and they did like a whole kind of court case it was the wolf The Three Little Pigs and living Red Riding Hood yeah I was a lawyer it was so much fun next we're going to [Music] go uh facilities distri works oh no sorry you all read this right yes you yeah I got the CLI notes G or something like that um thank you for having me I'm Tony Gars I'm the senior audit manager on the audit I've been doing this for I don't remember remember how long now but it's been a while um at the University this year with change over and staff after the audit had pretty much filled work it was 90% complete we still got it done in time and I'm happy to report that we're issuing on modified opinion
012which means that the financial statements are materially cor correct and can be relied upon uh no findings no material weaknesses no significant deficiencies we clear the Student Activities that we discussed that link last year um as for fedal that your title W didn't find anything comp be pretty much 95% 99% payroll the top my head so direct recordes are always there and always pretty straightforward new standards coming up that you have to be concerned about is compensated absences I'm not sure how that's going to the numbers but there's more things in the liability I will probably be teaching a training on it in June asbo if that's one of the things that this side teach so have sh well they they asked if I was willing to present I was like I have three ideas
013potentially we'll see what they want um other than that I'll open the floor up to you guys if you have any questions after reading this lovely document uh no the one thing that was new um now that I think about it and I forgot to bring it up is the daycare it open up and just prepping to start operations it started operations to keep an eye on that um that Grant a lot of that grant funding was covid you're not the only District that's doing that as a way of retention and keeping the track top Bal money didn't it's all I got a grant to start it off and now it's also a lot of districts have done that just keep an eye on it make sure that you're charging right that keep it above
014the FL you don't want to be funing it through um saw in the news on today um through the International School Board Association that there's some cuts to funding to school food not sure how much that's going to affect you guys um I think it's going to affect the Commodities program what they pass down to the state it's only about $5 million to the state 40 States some things that the actual our food service management company didn't want anyway they said the quality like the Hamburg is so hard that they would rather not purchase it anyway it's not perfect I just thought I brought it up because across my email this morning and I did some research on it can you uh we have two new board members here can you go over the last
015year's with the uh what the issue was with the activities um and how we resolve that brought yes I can but I don't have that one in front of me right now oh I can get it pretty quickly though um thought I brought my computer so Cliff note version of what happened last year I hate Dead Silence sometimes um so in the prior year as you guys expanded from high from a k28 to K through2 some short time were taking when you guys were receiv receiving cash um it all kind of started when I walked in during the audit fieldwork and I saw a person counting cash alone and I was like wait a minute why are you doing why are you why are you alone um addressed that right then and there immediately addressed
016it was like hey you should be having some view this out in the open they move the counter up front two people always sign PS well we had some issues tracing receipts and making sure that all the receipts were there the either the deposits they were doing monthly deposits was the problem and not doing regular deposits like weekly daily whatever so there was a problem and there was a potentiality not saying anything happen that not all the funding that was coming in was making the bank um everything when you count money should be done pairs because that way it's harder to do something minut there not counted in pairs there's a potentiality that it can walk away so um I starting my career doing Casino Audits and everywhere you want you always had a partner
017with you and as an auditor I never touch a cash they Tred to hand $10,000 cash that would wild but I would like know but always C always count in payers and then make sure that the support is there for the deposit so when you're receiving cash somebody's reviewing that receipt verifying that I got $100 $100 yes signing off verifying it goes into a lock BX and it goes on to May um you don't have a lot of cash com to the district um the main area is Student Activities and school food but very little of it is um I I I highly recommend you guys start looking at digital ways to reduce the cash so you take more credit card at the gate less likely to when trying to get rid of cash as
018much as possible you always always have to take it depends on the percentage because some people don't want to pay their yeah we'll have to look at it and see if we can get somebody to give us a break it always is there's a fee and there's also some communities that don't cre cash and they're probably some your bigger gug receipts um it is what it is the minimizing the amount of cash handling always so you never want to be the District that makes it into the about no no we don't want that so what our district what did is we instituted the Twan rule when every time somebody counts cash you both have to sign up on the receipt that you agree that that happened and then it goes to by the time it
019makes it to deian she can review it if there's discrepancy she can go through say you two signed off on it for short $5 $1 whatever it is and the way if you haven't done s sessions yet you really should because it says how many one bills how many dimes how many nickels how many quarters so there can't be anything that goes missing so that's how we ended up ring that so you always know what you're telling at the beginning of the day yeah you check out $100 you better come back with $100 easier for the activities get things ready to go she handles the most of the the other issue was the person that was doing it left yeah and you had to change over again but we were able to get 95% of
020it done before we even got to the Finish L on that everyone it's been a big change over that we're aware so that will affect next year so anything else than perfect if anything comes up Don and Dean both have my email I'm more than happy to respond to any questions what's the next audit Focus for our next one you guys have it schu yeah yeah I think we have another year on our contract I'm not sure you guys looked at Title One Last Time title one um look at school food in Esser the prior year is not gonna be Esser so my gut is telling me their ideaal yeah pretty easy um it all depends on threshold and dollar amounts I can't really give an idea of what it is we have some formulas
021that we have to follow and go through um I do know for your 26 fiscal year is not that affect you guys but the threshold got a lot of threshold seeing a lot of threshold moving up from 750,000 to a million um basically once all the r all the co money gets spent which needs to be spent by the end of this year it will they're floating that all done and with spent out last you're at 2.9 and it was only 800,000 so you're always going to be above that million are all there's no so I looked at that you were at 2.9 Milli you're going to be above a million going forward but that's what we work to get that all closed out so it's ready to BU it's ready to and I just
022read while I was sitting here they extended or the house leas PA the federal government pass an extension on had no FAL no you guys handled it the right way I know a lot of districts are sitting there hurting um you guys asked questions of us we gave you the best answers we could but we didn't really know when you guys questions I'm still trying to figure out the school district that bought power recliners than us that's all that matters appreciate it thank you facilities um [Music] so right now in my team we're just trying to Source Parts get them on the site we need contractors to help us from middle school L motor out of one of the big air hamers have to get crane service out here but other than that all in
023all we didn't have close any building yeah just to give the budget committee heads up um if the legislature passes the Deferred maintenance fund that is currently going through the one we're waiting on so badly yeah we'll be uh we'll be having a meeting with Mark and Kelly and getting Mark's big punch list of what he wants done and we'll be doing that just's no pressure on the other side of that if it doesn't go we'll make a plan what to do with building so but if I have you know a representative Senator sitting right here well it could that opportunity 10 times out of 10 any questions mark and uh Shane is working with a The Matrix for the maintenance guys and a uh a way that we can set it up to where
024we can attract um boiler operators electricians people like that and help to get you some help you actually maintenance directing and not just make that thanks for handling that all by yourself for so long thanks Mark Mar primary hi he um let's see I'll just add a few things in February we miss this fall and the rest of us pulled off lunch and learn and I think it was a huge success parents really enjoyed coming and the activity that they got to do and all good things it was a really busy three weeks that's a lot of kids and a lot of parents so we'll probably do things a little bit different next year just to you know make it more streamlined but all in all it was really good we got good feedback this
025month for fun we're trying to add something as a staff each month month that the kids can look forward to that doesn't interfere a lot with teaching and learning because that's why we're here but um so they're doing a March Madness book bracket and our lovely Tech techy Library even found a way to make it live so every time that a book moves forward in the bracket kids and parents can check the bracket to see if their book is winning or not so that's what we're doing this month we're trying to get creative who idea was that that's genius I've never even thought about something like that well we knew was March and it's March Madness I don't we just thought of it at FLT one day we have a monthly SLT meeting and we
026all the school leadership gets together and we just I said can you think of anything we can do to motivate kids this month so they're pretty smart that's all I got unless you have any questions I have one question I uh forgot the reasoning you gave why we don't put kindergarten start CLS on the calendar reason what I say remember me we could like the start datan yeah yeah we could it's always the Monday after the Wednesday that schol no I just had a parent ask me for sure um we're gonna do we're gonna roll that out the same way this year that we did last year because it was our most successful and we've tried it a lot of different ways so we got a good um turnout for that screening we did and
027moved forward like that and the kids all knew their teachers before open house and that worked we were able to split the kids up pretty good pretty balanced this year so the teachers and I were very happy with how we kind of got it rolling last year so we're just going to continue on the kindergarten form went live on last week last Tuesday Wednesday I think so they're able to already sign up for a screening time for kindergarten um screening and then early literacy will go out the beginning of April and their screening days are May 1st so rolling with all the thing thank you J I do have a question um we had our um I don't know did you get that answer oh the lunches yeah well I'm meeting with her on Thursday
028oh okay kind of got some preliminary answers but we're gonna meet face to face and then final that if you could answer this I mean it's just a quick question one of the concerns was um that they didn't know if they parents could come in your in your school I guess um to have lunch with their kids is that still a thing or is that something that they're not you're not doing they can call and ask to come but there's a lot of things we need to do before we just let parents come in we have a lot of custody issues we have a lot of things that make it difficult and we don't ever want that to happen during the school day you know our job is to keep them safe so we just
029ask for a heads up you know and some days it might not be a good day and they might get told no like there's just too much going on you know but you know they can call in the morning and tell Rhonda and then bring their ID and get checked in just like everybody else and should be fine um no there's just a lot that goes into it there's going to be rules around that that prevent you know we have yeah we don't want it to disrup an educational environment and some parents tend to do that they don't know that we have rules for a reason and you know it kind of hurts feelings when they bring their kid this beautiful lunch and the other kids have the opposite but I guess in the short
030answer they can call ahead and if get it approved or not if they really want to do that to themselves they can come establishment to our peaceful Cafe okay else okay I hear if the the cooks wear one of those nice fancy sh jackets it turns into to a fstar restur so middle school has AAR a guy that wears a chef jacket and they're calling him just so you know tell them it's fine dining and we need to act like we're in a fancy restaurant not should be quiet thank you M fox uh intermediate good evening everyone um a few weeks back the Intermediate School staff participated in um a positive Outreach challenge though our goal for the month was to have 100 positives from our school staff reaching out to 100 different families and
031we surpassed that goal happy to say so that was uh just something that actually Mr Kinsey built in oh gosh I think I was teaching fifth grade when he originally started it uh and it seemed really effective and it's just something to remind ourselves always to bring and find those positives um and so that was a big success um we have an additional staff member in our building uh we have a student teacher Veronica Johnson uh as uh working under Susan Co a fifth grade teacher and so you will see her name as on the sub list which it's really exciting that she wants to you know put her name out there and uh she's actually working on her teaching application for the elementary if there would be any openings so uh good to have
032people looking our way um something else interesting the principal Elementary principal from Elder Gro reached out a few weeks back and asked if their teachers could come and observe ours because she had heard wonderful things um we're actually teaching the same the same reading program as them and so we actually had five teachers from Elder Gro um and I think what the most incredible thing was is I wasn't going to tell my teachers they had to do it it was here's this opportunity and they found it really rewarding and excited like that they that we could be kind of like this model school so to speak we're not perfect but we strive for excellence and and those teachers that jumped on board are just that they are excellent really cool um um just this past
033couple days fourth graders have brought in model volcanoes that they have built with their families um because they had been working on volcanic um sary different types of rocks Etc and so as their celebration they got to explode volcanoes outside and so that was really u fun to watch and kids loved it um in February we also uh speaking of motivational reading our team our school leadership team at the intermediate really wanted to focus on I love to read month just February and so our kids um took reading logs home and for every 10 minutes you know they could write 30 minutes and the parents would initial and then when they got to school for every section of 10 minutes they got to fill out a heart and put it on their uh class chart
034and as we went and so there was conversation like man should we had this local author that wanted to come come in hiding to stano and she uh wanted to come in and work with kids and so we decided instead of just the top classroom uh getting to work with her we had the top three kids from each classroom so we're talking um close to 60 kids had the opportunity to work with her and they did a figurative language um art project with her and so that's posted on Facebook but really our kids are just so stoked in fact they're so stoked that we're doing a March Challenge and we U the antie a little bit for fourth and fifth grade for 15 minutes uh for a gold coin that they can post on their
035charts for their classroom so just a lot of good things and kids wanting to read which is like we want to build the love of reading a couple more things third and fifth graders thanks to help from Andrea we have partnered with the Alberta bear and so fifth grade got to go watch uh the Kaboom doctor which was a science kind of series and they really really enjoyed it and the teachers said our kids behaved so well which is just it's nice to have such great representation um of Blackwood SCH and our students can represent that third grade theirs is coming up I want to say April 4th so that'll be something uh to look forward to for third grade um and then just in the planning stages for jump start uh that's our uh
036targeting certain students that we want to boost reading and so we've reached out to we made a form and teachers that are interested in doing that um are letting us know and then we're going to start our continue our planning board jump start um last thing so we just did a big update with our Cubs club and we have two students who have reached the top level seven um and what that gets them is just an off-campus lunch of course with parent permission um but the next level down level six is um students that have earned a dodgeball game students versus staff and so we're GNA do that at the end more at the end of the school year right so there the student team can be bigger but um kind of getting kids excited
037for that um but I think that's all I have unless you have any questions thank you cool uh Mr Grant's out in Washington DC so I'll give the report I know he said he was meeting with Shiki this morning and some other staffers so I haven't heard how it went yet I'm sure I'll talk to him tomorrow but I know they're enjoying themselves out there uh so this past month um our Lego robotics Club did qualify for state but they were unable to participate I think because of weather is why it got canceled so they did qualify but unable they weren't unfortunately able to go uh we got through all of our ski days and I think we only had two Hospital trips um both of them were not serious though just some crashes into
038some trees it sounds like and then they uh got released so it was crashed into the tree but they were both good they didn't have to stay they were just checked out and then left so they were both eighth graders sixth and seventh grade might not have left the Bunny Hill so I think they were good there uh we had our County Spelling be for a couple of students that had made it um Eliz Elizabeth Saunders took fifth place place um and Luke Harley took Seventh Place um Elizabeth will be able to go compete at the state spelling be um which is in bosan on March 22nd um Luke is an alternate at seventh place and I haven't heard if he'll be able to go yet or not so um it's exciting for them um

042and a couple of them like why couldn't students also be part of this where you know we outnumber you is what the students said I thought that was great they definitely do outnumbers don't tell too many lar um but uh you know I was excited that the students wanted to take that on too of being able to acknowledge who they see as another student doing that so we will we will be able to expand that um and Mark daran's gone so I can say the the a quiet objective of that is that we will paint over this at the end of the summer um and then have it ready for next year and then get that wall painted um we'll just secretly move around our building till we repaint walls that's awesome um you may

046out T said um is that accurate and it is um across the state we're still seeing a decrease of enrollment it's not just lock like I said before but we are seeing a drop in am um attendance rates were a little bit low this this last month they dropped into the 89 86 area 88 so still above State averages but it's that time of year where we start to see people kind of slip a little bit on on being here every day um we received our preliminary budget information and that will be presented later to the board to look at or in my guess we're not having to approve it so let's just take a little quick look at this all right so in and it's going to change a few times that's why this
047is not I didn't know why we approved it in the four because this changed three times last year before we got to the final budget it for the better I mean it was increased we're down in a couple areas I didn't understand why but when I went back and looked it was low in that area on the first one it went up in the second one when on the third one so um that's than that opportunity so that is farther down I hooked the wrong think that I actually hooked a grant letter that talking leader so anyway let I will give that out to you guys so you can look at it but we kind of just went okay yeah we just kind of went all right we got the first one um legislative up
048dat here's the house bills um this is all of the ones that we've been talking about and a little bit about them so if there's any question about what they're doing update you on that to Major maintenance funding who was indicating that it could be up or down it's still iffy so I'm hoping that that continues and goes through and he did get enough Bo to get out so I'm hoping it continues and goes through our next parent advisory meeting is on March 26th at 6 o' in the community room I am proud to announce after GL I met Mr Kinsey met with the National Education Equity lab they are the first high school in Montana to be joining the equity lab which provides for our students a partnership with universities including Howard Princeton warhouse
049Felman Stanford whorton University of Pennsylvania West L Cornell Georgetown Arizona State University Barnard Brown University of pia3 times anyway what this offers us is Gwen is able to do dual credit through which colleges this through it depends on which course we choose we're choosing the first course we're you're looking at psychology and sociology as the first year and we can grow this as we go but we have to kind of do this a little slow so we get used to how that looks for our students and but the transcripts and everything will come from a lot of these are Ivy League schools and so I was really happy that we were one of the first ones to ask to do it so the cost is $250 a student so it's really reasonable the credits but
050we cover that we cover our adved opportunity which we already cover two classes a year anyway um Montana do those credits um trans will they transfer as a psychology credit or will it transfer as a um elective no it will or does it depend the content area Okay credit will it depend on the college they go or yeah absolutely you know how they'll post is based on how the college so if we partner with brown for the intro to psychology it'll be coded as psychology there but is definitely upon the school receiving our students whether they what they accept um as those credits right so like saying if they decide to go to Brown if they got the brown that would turn into psychology credit versus if they go to let's just say msub and
051they don't accept that as a psychology credit that'll be turned into an elective right get it but the other okay yeah these are these are the ones that we're looking at the first one for sure it's inter psychology and colleges have that students back East a lot of the kids do what our kids do here with MSU they get the college credits ahead of time so they go in they would start as sophomore have their freshman so it works the same but I don't know MSU billings will say hey we accept Brown's transcript know just talking with a lot of the colleges they said that the course number is not exact it they won't accept it as that course they'll accept it they'll accept it as an right yeah exactly so I just wanted to
052make sure that it was that it was out there sometimes they don't accept yeah we we can't we can't really regulate that but what we are offering is students can get a high school credit and a college credit and we can't we can't do much with you you know how it's accepted exactly so Montana reads literacy Grant has been submitted to the point where the paper that's in that F just is a requirement of the grant to have board members who are here to sign off if they agree with that to apply for the gr I think they're do a little bit more awareness than just saying here's a bunch of money so we were very careful for all of their protocols and all of it's in except that sheet and then each principal is
053going around to their teachers and getting as many it's not required but it looks good as many teachers as we can to sign on to that I've also submitted the the district leadership team that came together and work for a day four or three hours each building or each group to get the grant into format and then I thank Andrea for revamping that because there were page requirements that they didn't used to have so that it all went through and it's all sitting there so I'm hoping that we do receive the 1.8 million because it'll make a huge difference on curriculum and training and all this stuff that we've been moving uh perspective instructors on our CDL and CA CNA courses CNA uh have both are working through their certification through OPI with 5,000 hours
054of credit they get they get a class two class two is that class five teacher certificate um we'll start working with G she gets certifi done yet CDL I'm going to meet with our our perspective candid got that and then we'll forward with that so those things are on um we got $1,000 from sedexo foods for our backpack meal program and they have supported us now for many years so it is nice that uh this is a summary from our certification we are now 100% certified 100% completed before the deadline again thank you Andrea for getting those parts in there that um were the very last pieces and it went right through we turned green like they said and we have no nothing to go back on now so we are in all right this
055stuff updates all that stuff it's just the same stuff I put into that little bit um we completed RFP for Food Service management bidding the dates are set that will start in April um it's now submitted to Opi to review we made some correction sent it back to them again I tell you have um that is that that was a lot of work but it's okay it's good to know how to do it students and parents were presented a social media safety training on the 19th students in the high school attended assembly in the alac and a meeting in the evening with for pass committee members in the community room some of the stuff that guy shared was startling just when he connected with kids to school just going on their their social media sites
056what he could pull from it just connecting from outside it was pretty scary um District administration we attended uh Andrea and Mr Kinsey and myself attended a weekend training in deoe which is about 20 miles out of Dallas it's deoe University but it's it's a business University it's a training center for Lloyd is a financial technology Global Corporation but they trained 200 we were the first 200 individuals to be trained in this super courageous for superintendence it's on communication and there were a lot of things there I came back knowing that even if you have $1.2 million children in your District still have the same problems with you I mean it was not different no matter where they were how big same problems assistant attendance funding all those things will we deal with so um
057I will be sharing some of that when we have our work session this summer because the methods and communication that they share was much less complicated than our trained last summer and it was really good stuff I think we can use we received the transfer part of one of the bills going through is to bring back the transformational learning Grant which was wonderful because that also funded all the way into the Elementary on Stam and all kinds of things so we were able to use that to buy kits and equipment for the stem programs they're bringing that back I don't know how far that has moved through and it'll probably come back in that flurry of drills that coming in after they convene reconvene our Advanced Opportunity Grant has come to us it went from
058$669,000 to $110,000 and that is Perpetual now thatal devel each year that is for our Advanced opportunity students do credit enrollments 40% of it goes to our CTE to be able to expand our CTE program so it has been a godsent for us in getting materials and classes and curriculum and everything yes um boys and girls basketball teams both will be a state which have already been mentioned um the state director of HOSA has invited schol and I to serve as judge at Montana host of future health professional State leadership conference on April 1 and 2nd we agreed and we will be going to go as guest judges so we can get a feel for what the health Health Organization Services service of America looks like for our students and then we'll be able to
059help get that started here we get that um we agreed to provide 1,200 holding Frisbees and 1,200 lock line stickers to the speciality bags so they had asked if we would donate they said we know we use your facilities we really appreciate that but we're trying to get our goodie bags together so the stickers were ordered and the friendes were ordered and we'll get those put together and to C is helping to oriz that we had a teacher resignation and retirement both in the same letter second time he's retired I want just say congratulations to Jenny Fox for being asked to join the College of Education Advisory Board Miss Billings and Kelly and Mark for both being in Washington DC right now representing our schools in Montana and L but in Montana as well had
060a good talk with Mr Kinsey today and I told him it's a good year to go do that because they never had funding respect for anything for so it was always kind of this negative thing it's really been positive and there's been some really good things coming from the represent so it's it's a it's a good thing um that's it thank you all right we gonna We have to set a date for our school board goals review with that we can pick any time before we start schooling next year so you can go May June July August work for I just want to say it might be better to wait for AUST so we know all that stuff is going on may change if we find out all the stuff we needed is going through
061if some of it doesn't then I think part of that planning can looking at what we're going to do with maintenance so let's look at August then the month of August anybody have a blackout week 26 is the only that's when we started anybody have a conflict with the fif like an all day thing or evening it depends you well our regular board is on the 12 right yes do that some I don't know okay I mean we just it does it matter if it's before after the September can we do it that I don't know I I'm just I just many in that week just in case you know so far I'm in advance we got to be here anyway for that meeting so if we're gone the we before be G I say
062what have we did the morning for the gold and then the evening for theame do it afternoon if we could meet at 3 until 5 then you guys have an hour break before that work to F that's a lot to get through in hours but I think that might be a good thing 82 to to five and then six yeah we could go three to six I was thinking maybe you guys might want to break between that just to we get an extra hour we we stay in there until and then we'll set a day where or an evening where we do an actual board work session two over everything that's going on this is just I will [Music] em B about that okay and building visits you have any building visits make sure you
063give them to Dean and if you have any training that done for the golden gavl also give that to DM uh Community update I'm sorry committee updates Safety Committee Corey uh we just had a [Music] meeting things need to be done anything else looks it's going the way it needs to be been taking pictures of gates at different schools and how hook those up so we can maybe get securing a little bit on rting it out while we were in New Orleans there were 397 people presenting in the Expo hallway walk around one of them is a company they have AE that sits on a hinge along inside the door and then you just roll it over and it latches on it's bulletproof and it's less than replacing the entire door so it actually on
064the back of it is a mirror and also they can see is themselves and they said when they look in and see that that they usually just go on to the next place so Co Kelly with our safety Grant we could probably buy three of those just to see how much it is to put them in but I mean that is actually not a big the kids would not be scared it's not a metal door over your door it's actually a lookas you just lift it up slide it over latch there's no way I told said that's genius because it actually looks like a piece of they actually it's really we're not you if you can remember the vendor can you shoot that over to Cory so you can on that budget committee we had
065a budget committee meeting last Tuesday we discussed everything from the impact of busting to the time change to the uh pay scale that Shane put together which we are going to go look at again and get pay raises for secretaries custodians and maintenance is what we're looking at getting them on a matrix so that they know exactly what type of pay raise they're going to get going forward previously it was a hate to say it some people got like 58 cents and they've been here for four years now was her first race and some people are getting 16 16 cents as a raise which is embarrassing in my opinion but change working on that we're not ready to bring that to the full board yet um Shane and Don have a couple little things to
066go over couple more things and then we'll be bringing that to the full board so that we can get our secretaries custodians and maintenance guys compensated and we will be going over the busing formula and everything again tonight for the time change and what's going to cost for buses and we do not have another one on the books yet I'll get with you guys about get another one set for April uh career fair um we've got the letter pretty much uh figured out I'll get that probably the whole board and and to Mr send it to Cameron Rob [Music] also hand it out to um if any else wants to copy of it you guys copy of it um I know that we plan on having middle SCH School come in first for about 45
067minutes clearing them out and then let High School come in until about 4 o' um and then after that we'll be Community open so but yeah I'll get the letter out and you guys can look over it open there right negotiations me looks like negotiations are set from March 18th at 4 30 is that an open meeing or a it is an open but people that are not part of the actual negotiation committee which is sensus bar being like is coming are asked to sit but they're not allowed to comment on they can comment but they don't have an impact on the actual process break room committee I have a update from Daisy on the comments uh my my committee update includes negotiating negotiation meeting approaching on April 18th as for curriculum the public forum
068held on Friday was well attended and Gwen along with Andrea did an ad admirable job presenting the proposed academic grading system and I'm proud to have been included in the process the professionalism transparency and collaboration of this go long go of this go long and well well that what well out well out process thank you Stacey for doing that that has been a undertaking to say the least uh areas Focus we just went through that unless anybody has any updates from their areas of focus oh sorry and needs to do AER Community engagement committee yeah so Jamie and I met with and actually Josh and Shane were there and then a few Ray was there a few other well one other committee or Community member um I thought it was a great meeting kind of
069refocused and got some direction and goals and since that time I've been able to meet with the Middle School Mr guette kind of talk about the role we're hoping to play and getting just the community more notified about events and activities and feeling just more comfortable communicating with the school and then also um just kind of talking about volunteer opportunities how we can make that a little bit more transparent clear and easy for the staff and for parents um just a lot of good ideas just starting to come together um we have plans to meet with the primary in high school next week we're going to meet with activities I'm reach out to the PTA um so I think we're going to look at the first Tuesday of the month consistently if that works for
070Jan because that's when it was this month and we don't have a set schedule it might work some really cool ideas about like maybe like uh snowman building in next time we get a bunch of snow and uh a maybe a car show maybe a farmers market lots of ideas swirling but um and then getting the journalism Department going a little bit better again yeah is I look forward to that and I just want to point out that one of the pushes the community engagement is doing is the board is going to start sponsoring things like a car show in July the board will sponsor that and run it so that we can get community in there like that okay let's go to is there anybody area of focus that they want to give an
071update on okay next we're going to go to the consent agenda any questions or concern about consent agenda any questions concerns about consent agenda and this approval any questions concerns about this consent agenda and its approval as presented hearing now the consent consent agenda is approved and adopted next we're going to go to we have to approve the audit report as presented by I got a first from Shane second second from Corey got a first from Shane a second to Corey to approve the audit report as presented discussion from the public discussion from the board all those say I I all those opposed same sign caring none motion passes next is the superintendent salary and benefit and contract extension we have a public comment on that as well from Stacy Bon I'm very sorry that
072I'm unable to attend the meeting tonight due to family illness I do want to express that I am fully entirely and enthusiastically support of the approval of the superintendent salary benefits and con contract extension that Stacy at the [Music] bottom first from jaie second from Shane contract extension discussion from the public discussion from the board all those in favor say I I all those oppos same sign hearing none motion passes like to say thank you to the board for this whole process because you know how uncomfortable it made me in a good way but still very uncomfortable appreciate should have been there for some of the meetings with da trying to get him to accept this appreciate uh next we have to approve the update on the business manag job description if you open that
073file the red is the indicated changes to the uh job description Miss caveat this is a onetime thing so we'll probably go back next year and take that off there but this is what they needed to get the one time payment for DN for the quality educator so I said we'll take whatever they're going to offer so it's a one time thing and it may become permanent I don't know but they're operating us some money for D's job which they should because she works hard if you look at point five it says AIS custodian continue to read the whole thing it's for documents I thought she was going to be the custodian in the second got a first from Jamie and a second on approval of the B man J description discussion from the public
074discussion from the board lose something Jamie all those in favor say I I all those post same sign hearing n motion passes next is the start and dismissal time uh this is for the addition of three buses um increase is 6.4 miles the total cost to the district for for adding these free buses is 86,5 185 the 11% increase if we don't approve this that first student is just going to have us do anyways is 89,4 so by adding three buses it's an extend it's a increase of 90 oneish th000 I was looking 9 something9 yeah on a taxable if you want to look at the formula for fing out figuring out A Min that's what Don and Philly did for the past week on a $300,000 house that would be $25.92 a year on
075a $600,000 house it would be like $52 a year and you can figure it out $900,000 house would be $ 75ish Dollar like that um the transportation Mill the history of 28 uh 18 to 19 it was 29.97 2223 was 32.279214 Mills with that being said uh for the budget um we're going to be doing line item contingencies and checking our reserves and seeing if there's a way that we can offset it to the community um the best we can we will not be able to offset the entire amount but perhaps there's something we can do in there that will'll offset something to the community we're not going to be able to drop it 15 Ms but maybe we can drop one drop if we can do three that would be just have to look
076at when we look at using like any reserves to offset that that our plan is to how do we get the reserves back we we just have to plan more carefully that next year to get reserves back it's wor 100% And it have to be sustainable yeah that's yeah because so we can offset this to where it's that one time bump that just is from changing the times I'm hoping that as we go forward some things change as far as the transportation situation because it is frustrating to say majority of that 26 Ms is coming from the normal in do you want to talk about the consy it item that we questioned at the meeting yes um I just had my mentor come in and we kind of went through all that your questions that
077you had that's um to help with a bus a that we weren't um planning for um you know a new crosswalk person you know some that we weren't planning for and so it's stays in there um for that exact reason just something that that's been planned for and of holds that how much is used and we can reduce that use a little bit of the reserves I don't want us to go back to 32 I mean no 20 to 22 is probably ideal because then next year it's not such an awful thing and they raise the prices again on their contract so on as a taxpayer I don't want to go back to 30 then we have the ability to maybe affect that whereas in other districts it's not brought up so no yeah so
078I think that we can sit down and have a good conversation now the D has got the grasp on how those the pages I I we look at that have just the budget on them not all the other stuff we can go through those individually and understand that so like with the bus AIDS and the um crosswalks is there going to be any savings to that because do we have uh crossing guards for the 9:00 start time or just for the little kids yes we have went to 9:00 so this that'll get cut down s not a significant amount same well that's right because bus they all be on this and those are those literally the bus AIDS are probably the least expensive one CR Crossing they an hour and the bus we can barely
079build so I don't know if anybody else is notice when they drop off K sometimes you get to see Mr out there with the splashing road guardy today huh start time K2 uh 8: am to 2m uh 35 8 to3 Monday Tuesday Thursday and Friday Wednesday will be 8 to2 on Wednesday uh 6 12 808 to 308 uh Monday Tuesday Thursday Friday 808 to 208 on Wednesday the 8 the 808 to 208 that's not an arbitrary number that's what they asked the other building leaders hey what time can we start having can we release the high school and your parking lots pretty well vacated and that's the number they came up with or the time they came up with by then hopefully the buses the high school is mostly gone and the buses roll 10
080to 12 minutes after that so hopefully that's what's going to happen one of the questions that was brought up what about if we put Littles on the bus with bigs how is it going to be uh the conversations that happen you look confused so we're all releasing it to on Wednesday that's yeah is two no uh 208 is yeah but they're all going to C the bus they're going to the same bus instead of late early well hopefully that gives little enough time to make it on the bus get seated before the BS the high school kids I guess you know 612 is out at 308 okay well one of the questions was what are we going to do when we have older kids on with younger kids and per student has seeding charts now
081where the little kids sit up front and the big kids sit in the back hopefully that will leviate some also another thing that somebody brought up is you may have little kids with big kids but they're siblings so hopefully they will look out for each other and they can help them I guess be good ambassadors or examples that's what and another thing that was brought up was the parking lot I know Friday the parking lot was absolutely horrendous because we had classy classy basketball here um next year with our uh calendar that we have set we have those two days off for that for the big tournament and hopefully there's not as much snow we still probably at 50 to 60 parking spots for banks come here every three years or two years years from
082now everybody so we do that same so I think if that works that's what we need to do so we just not um and another thing that was discussed during that is we have the class E thing perhaps uh athle iics will have to pay for an off duty sheriff's officer to be here on overtime to help with traffic control or whatever it is because I know there was some really I was going to say high-spirited individuals here during that not from our district trying to be as political as I possibly can but we did through the community and we are making I met with Mr Ericson and we will be posting signs out there in tournaments that there's no smoking within 500 ft of the high school so that they're not standing out front
083because we just have to really enforce that and so we will have those signs posted and that's where I want one of the deputies or whoever is here to just say you can't stand for you need to play I was told that the parking lot is still our I mean it's still school grounds it's supposed to be be gred every and here's the thing we can't really do a lot because there's private hard can get a lot pushed through but we can say you cannot stand up here and give them the other thing is this would be a whole lot better if adults could be adults and show compassion and understanding to other people I mean we have high school kids that have figured out how to zipper and get in and out of the
084parking lot but adult seem to have an issue so sure that'll be on Facebook I that any other questions about the uh stter dismissal times I will entertain motions then to say no I have nothing else to say there's nothing public I motion to approve got a first from Jackie second second from Hy discussion from the [Music] public oh I was about say they put a comment out about the busing I put it I should so and I'd like to point out that this was discussed at the budget committee meeting and it was put out on the agenda that we will be discussing again and we have private post on not private but like a Community member post on Facebook even notifying specifically that this would be discussed tonight I have one call me and
085they just wanted to ask some questions and they were perfectly with well some of the problems we had because they were worried about like even in the budget committee I asked a lot of questions I have concerns about the parking lot congestion I have we have questions about budget I feel that this is a net positive that's what the community said they wanted it's what the staff has said they wanted it's what the administration have said they wanted it's what the students have said they wanted there will be problems this associated with it but there's no there's no golden ticket there's no perfect solution so I think it's I think I brought it up in budget committee the only way we can make everybody happy is we individually ubered every child to nothing be mad
086but I'd like to point out that one person in the community came to this meeting so I um when we're doing the buses and stuff like that I've heard some people ask about running a road along the back and doing all the buses run through the back so then when we do that the Middle School get that's all used to now Middle School Road going out there that's yeah I don't even know do that I don't know if that would even work because we wouldn't allow him to do that check ony I just heard some asking about about using making a road back there and then the kids can get off at the high school and is let off or the Middle School's let off in the back so they can come in that back
087door and then the elementary they're not going through the parking lot and we get going if we did that we would have to have 68 ft from Center Line plus ditch swell on both sides and we don't have that the the easiest solution is roundabout on the highway but one of the questions was can we do something with traffic control and the county said no it out they won't do anything with tra control we barely got a turn line when we put the high school in so I I agree with Jackie a roundabout right there would be great but the county doesn't want to invest there we go we make adjustments and say hey this might work better we have to kind of run it once and go okay we go and say it will
088work better because it's have to be tweak I mean this is it's not new it's just a lot more kids to 16 about this that how many have we have 12 now 15 15 15 total we're GNA add two more anyway add animals I think there's a there's a Tik Tok Axel lot song going around right now so maybe AEL lot yeah that one so anyways back to the motion discussion from the public discussion from the board all those in favor of the gotta go back to here all those in favor of the common start and de missal time for K12 say I all those oppose same sign verying none motion passes next High School grading change I would like to start this by saying thank you to Stacy Gwen Andrea um everybody involved with
089this this was not a small undertaking theyve been working on it for months teachers teachers thank you yes this was I'd like to point out to the entire everybody Facebook land this was not something that Administration built they were given and then teachers built the grading system and what they wanted what they needed and how best they thought they could reach students so that's something H this is not something arbitrarily that High School administration or District administration said we're changing the grader scale this is what's going to happen they've had countless meetings with it with their teachers with the community I mean we pushed this out I think the best way we possibly could have getting the information out when the meeting happened when they brought it to the public I don't think I heard
090one Stark or one negative comment about it they were supportive um there are some things going to be in the handbook and not in this policy which you fine um valid Victorian I think was one of them and things like that but I want to tell the community that if you have an issue please bring it to us we will do our best to address it if we can don't expect a miracle right away this has been an ongoing thing since the beginning of school what 57 days left in the school now just looking at the amount of work into just the meetings and discussions it went through 1 two 3 four five 6 Seven 8 nine 10 11 meetings before it went to the compar commun point that's just the district why talking to
091people uh are you talk to this one I just had a professional Delight getting to do it um getting to see our teachers come together like that um you know there's been a lot of fun in my almost 30 years of education this was a lot of this was a lot of fun getting to watch you know Rob and I at an SLT meeting we just get to step back and let the teachers and you know vote we didn't put our vote in um and it is something I feel very confident supporting our teachers and students in uh implementing this and I would take on what Jackie just spoke about the time change we know this isn't perfect we know there's still going to be problems with it there isn't a perfect system or it
092would be just copy this and move forward but um I think this is a nice uh mix of what we understand as well as what we need to do toward the proficiency based um so I'm excited to do it and know that we're still going to have questions about how do we engage students we're going to still have questions about student motivation all of those things grading doesn't fix that but I couldn't be more proud of our uh staff I've heard that a lot of Staff didn't like the other grading systems so much that they wanted to leave and now that this has came in a lot of them are like oh okay then you can stay because you know this is a much more cohesive so I've heard that from a lot of staff
093so thank you guys for doing that thanks for giving us the opportunity I really appreciate that two decisions are really getting us back to Lo school district and getting us back to where absolutely the vision was and I think that we're definitely on the right trory I I think this shows the Nays out there to say that we don't that's that we actually do and I would like one more thing is that um as building leadership we were allowed to bring this to the teachers work with the teachers how we wanted to Don and Andrea Kelly really step back um Stacy was there she did an excellent job of listening taking things in but not making it feel like we she was going to ask a question or make an opinion that was going to
094force something on there that either we didn't want couldn't with and I just we really you know if we could replicate those types of decisions all the time wouldn't it be a great place and I know it's not possible but that was that was a lot of fun to be part of move that we uh approve the changes to the school gr second first second Jamie on approving the it called school grades 9 through2 academic grad system y discussion from the public discussion from the board all those in favor say I I [Laughter] I would like to point out that non voting feel to changing something when a student sits there and goes yeah all those opposed s sign hearing none motion passes okay next we have the uh Google workspace permission now with this
095um Shane actually brought up some excellent questions and I'm going to bring up my thing here Don can you find that email stram search Ma okay so Shane brought up some good points about this uh he brought up the board has not approved this yet but parents receiv received the letter beforehand we did that because we wanted the public to be informed we sent the letter out so that if the public had questions hey what's this what's going on they could reach out to us instead of previously what would happen is the board would approve something and would just go into effect okay so that's why we did that again we're learning uh question one the district has of stash of process that allows parents and Guardians to consent to their child's use of the
096service in line with Montana state law he asked what law the law that is that we're following is cited uh section 27-1 MCA section 20-5 d201 of the MCA and yeah those are the damage laws for now this is putting put into effect because Google if we don't sign this Google will stop supporting the kids that don't do this that don't sign it and approve cut off services to our district it would cut off all of our emails not just kids that brings up even more important question so we've got one student that doesn't bring this back there's a plan for to do it kids because the stuff that they're not able to use is not key to Everyday functioning so if the future say I'm going to do a YouTube lesson and Billy is
097if they have to have an alternate plan but I talked to several superintendents while we were that conference from Montana they said they put this in their handbook and then they get SC so that was my main concern I just wanted to make sure that we had second put signature Infinite Campus doesn't allow digital signatur right we don't have the um the expanded the expanded version of Infinite Campus so we can't add any forms to our involment so it is an issue you know getting the forms initially out but we just maybe I'll look at a way to get that out but um I didn't hear a whole lot of concern about all par had a concern they said and the second question that uh Shane had was uh this includes my child's access to
098District computers networks and or Internet what do we have in place for students who parents refuse to sign or don't sign we will make adjustments to that we are not going to punish a kid because a parent Guardian did not return a form we will it'll be a case by casee basis we would like 100% participation with this get all the forms back we're not n naive enough to understand that that will happen we will have some outliers that don't return it and we will deal with that on a Case by case basis the damage uh Shan question was I also accept responsibility turnning repair replacement cost and that's the damage things deed the damage to equipment is pretty straightforward but how does damage a network their you you should go on Tik Tok there
099are some lovely things called uh what did I show you Don will my will my notebook survive and there's kids in bathrooms throwing them against walls there was a there was a kid that video did urinating on the computer and that's just what they do in the bathroom and Hing against they shattering and they just think about but it's a trend it's a it's a tick tock whatever people do it the other one is they try to hack the servers of the um School District we have some kids out there that can build a website and they want to see how things work and they try to get in the backside and look around poke around that does happen so we have to preserve our Network also and that's what the other component of that
100is and here's the other thing we we know the difference between malicious and accidental okay we do accidental is not an issue right now we have 12 we've had 12 notebooks that were Dam seven of them were left in cars but it got super cold and froze them can ruin the streams yeah but but I mean we we understand that that's not malicious it's just like that that last little part of it is to keep the malicious down we know that accidents are going to happen mine I think the first month I on the board mine was stolen out of my truck that's just what it is I mean yeah and that was great I got a whole 8 from yeah in the future with technology we probably have to in our budget committee have
101to have a discussion on the one to one sustaining that because it's getting more and more expensive to buy 4 or 500 chrome woodster repl ones end of life in five years so we probably need to have that conversation because I don't know if doing that is in our best interest but we have to figure out if if we can set it up our kids could use their own stuff impulsive that's really really dangerous so we have to have that conversation though because that will become the bulk of our technology budget which I don't know if that's the best thing to do so those are conversations we'll have to have um but this was a requirement from Google now we've acted on it and we've sent the forms out this is we're to wor we've
102never done so it's because when they have their own computer the constraints of the district on what you can look at and on your websites doesn't you can look something up that's inappropriate and it doesn't trigger it to a principal saying a bark alert it's like they can go on their own their own device and you can't block but if they're on your if they're on the scool network can't you no like I can do my phone I can use my phone on the network and still look up and I can do Facebook and all that other stuff but if you go on like my desktop I can't so it really is something that we have to look at and I don't know I told Paul it's something we have to think about and Darlene
103but we haven't had that conversation I just asked and said hey you know a lot of people bought their kids computers they're not going to throw them conso in the bathroom right because they're that's a mom and dad they school so but we also don't know what's on the computer and if they hook to our Network need Network they can damage it all and this is where the Tik Tok stuff gets so yeah I know they have different we used to have a guest Network that the kids could log on to but then they started going well beyond that and getting into stuff they should kids are really good with [Music] technology know most I will entertain motions about this on the approval and Adoption of the Google workplace permission slip special from the public
