0012025. At this time, can I do I have a motion to approve the agenda? I make a motion that we approve tonight's agenda. Second. All in favor? Now we'll have the pledge of allegiance. Flags back. Pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. All right. At this time, we'll have some special presentation by Miss Wisnet. Thank you and welcome to Jackson Community School. I feel like we've already hosted you once in February, but we're very glad that you're back again for a regular board meeting this time. I did want to um just update you on a few things because I know that um recruitment is something that we're working on here for um
002Jackson Community School. I have um created a brochure with the help of the students. You will see um it over here. Um but those are not our students in the pictures. Miss Chenica has come to take pictures and so we will be inserting pictures of our students in in the brochure. So we have a information an information um little blurb about our school um how they can visit us what our students say about our school what our graduates are doing now and then what makes a difference here at this school or what makes us different here at Jackson Community School. And so we um the students have had lots of input on that brochure and so we're very excited about that. Um another thing that we will be doing for recruitment is going to each
003um elementary school and visiting 8th grade. The counselors were all invited here to come visit. And so I have had um two of the counselors come so far to come visit Jackson Community School so that I can talk to them about students who would best fit our school um and to talk about that it's choice. A lot of people still don't realize this is a school of choice. And so to make sure that we are letting everybody know that this is a school of choice. Um, and then I will be going the week before spring break and the week after spring break to talk to the eighth grade students at each elementary school um with a couple of my students. We'll be presenting the brochure with our pictures in at this time to make sure
004that we um tell our story and share that with upcoming um ninth graders and hopefully we can recruit some students that way. So, just wanted to let you know what we've been doing in the meantime since you voted for our school to stay open. We have talked a lot over the last several months, I think since December, about our high school. And so, tonight I wanted to um highlight our middle school. And so, our middle school has been doing lots of projects um learning, science learning. So there you're going to see a video that none of our middle schoolers wanted to speak tonight, but that's okay. So we put a video together to let you see what they're doing in their classroom. There's the whole video. They've been learning about simple machines and so they
005built levers and um you'll see some pictures of them testing out their levers. They had several days of fun with that. Miss Lisa's always in on the action. She's the um teacher in that classroom and she's always there with all the action. Yes. They cook on Fridays and so that was a little bit of their cooking. They did bottle rockets. These are just middle school. This is just middle school. We had a celebration. One of our students transitioned back to um their elementary school. They were celebrating the best leg plants. What makes our middle school special is they get to come here and grow and learn and um improve in coping skills and then they get to transition back to uh their home school. We have one student who successfully transitioned back last week. We
006have another student who is just started his transition back to his home school. They have taken up with the cats that are Jackson Community School is home of many stray cats and so the middle school has adopted some of those stray cats and they take care of them. You don't feed them and they return. We hope not. I think we did take one to get it spayed and neutered. So, this is their bike room. They um are donated bikes that are in need of repair. As you can tell, that's quite a mess. Our boys love that. Um and they fix the bikes, test them, and then we donate them back to someone in need of a bike. So, that's great. and then they're going to be continuing on their amazing journey. So, one of the
007um one of the rooms that the um students do enjoy the most is the bike room. Um we have heights who comes to help look at the bikes to see what's wrong with those. Motion makers has come to help with some of that and so they fix the bicycles up and then we donate them back to uh people or students who may need those bicycles. So I think right now we have I think right now we have about 8 to 10 bicycles that are ready for homes. So um our middle schoolers work learn and work very hard um during the day. Awesome. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Next we're going to have special recogn recognitions. Dr. I'm going to move over to this microphone and table because we have so many. I will um
008I will say that it seems like that we will have a lot of recognitions this evening and that is the case. We've had some that we've had to push um from previous meetings but I think it's important enough to have them here and present. So I'm going to start with Smoky Mountain High School a couple students. So, Emma Heling and MG Groovy and I think one of those students is not in attendance this evening or maybe both. So, I have pushed this a couple of times and one was supposed to be here and one got a new job and had to work. Um, but I want to read about them because I think it's important for you to hear what they they've done. Two students at Smoky Mountain High School have gained attention for their
009artwork. Dr. for Autumn Hall's AP design students Emma Heling and MG Griby earned awards in the Scholastics Art and Writing Competition and their work is part of the Asheville Strong exhibition at the Asheville Art Museum. Emma is a junior and planning to attend Georgia's Savannah College of Art and Design and you're going to hear that again in a few moments um to study visual art. MG, a member of the marching Mustangs color guard, is a senior and is planning to attend Western Carolina to pursue a degree in art education. So, there's a future art teacher coming to us. Both students are members of the arts honors society, the National Honor Society, AP 2D design students, and have worked on multiple murals in the school and sets for the fall and spring musicals. Congratulations to Emma
010and MG. They're not here, but let's give them a round of applause. Um, Dr. S, could I make a comment? Yes, ma'am. Um, in 1970, which is 55 years ago, I received um the Scholastic Art Award. I was a senior in high school and it changed my view of myself as an artist. And I just want to commend those young ladies and Dr. hall because it's a lot of work for that teacher to submit those pieces. Um there's forms to fill out and and just a lot of effort on that teacher's part which is really commendable. And um when I heard that their artwork was in that show, um I was also blessed. I have a piece of artwork in that um recovery show at the Asheville Art Museum. So even at 73 when you
011start that path in the art world, it can continue on. And um I'm just excited for those young ladies. Thank you. Our next student is Caroline Bulock. So Caroline, come on up. There's Caroline. I know it's hard to stand up and hear good things about yourself, but come on over and let's hear good things about you. So, congratulations to Caroline Bulock from Koi Valley. Caroline is a seventh grader who has been selected to participate in the Appalachin STEM Academy at Oakidge. Caroline loves being with her family, talking with friends, helping others, reading, and riding roller coasters. I kind of like that, too. She is part of listen to all she does as a seventh grader. Carolina is part of the school band, chorus, theater club, the junior Appalachin musicians, or the jam band, and was
012on the volleyball team. You don't have a moment, do you? That's not a bad thing. She's very excited about being one of only 52 middle school students selected to participate in the Appalachin Regional Commission summer program. This program in collaboration with Oakidge, Tennessee is a residential hands-on science academy focusing on math, science, and technology for two cohorts of middle school students. in July. The ARC as it's called Appalachin Regional Commission students is a student program is a unique opportunity for students to work in small collaborative teams with experienced teachers to utilize current technology to solve a problem in Appalachin communities. The small team approach provides an opportunity to collaboratively tackle realworld problems in Appalachia and propose a solution to these. Caroline in the future would like to become a scientist, possibly a geologist, or work
013in some capacity with NASA. So, big dreams, Caroline. Congratulations. You make some of us look a whole lot less intelligent. Would you make sure you get a picture with her mom and Miss Jacobs before they run out the door, please? I'm sure that Miss Jacobs wants to put that on her social media page. Next is Miss Melissa Haggler. Miss Haggler, come on up. She's gotten a lot of attention lately, so she should be use uh used to the limelight right now. Melissa Hegler, a culinary arts and apparel teacher at Smoky Mountain High School, was selected as one of only 27 in the state, Burrow's Welcome Fund Career and Technical Education Teachers of the Year. So, I want you to think about that. There are 115 school districts in the state of North Carolina. 27 school
014districts were represented and we were one of them. We are humbled by the dedication that Miss Haggler shows and exhibits to her students and the staff at Smoky Mountain High School. Those who nominated Miss Hegler write this, and I know you've heard this, but it's hard to stand here and listen, but she is so deserving of these accolades. They write, "As the culinary arts, foods, and nutrition teacher at Smoky Mountain High School, Miss Haggler embodies the essence of dedication, compassion, and leadership. She is committed to her students and it is unparalleled. She possesses possesses a genuine heart for every individual under her guidance. Fostering an environment where students feel valued, supported, and empowered. Her unwavering belief in their potential inspires them to reach new heights both academically and personally. Within her department, Miss Haggler shines
015as a teacher leader. Her passion for her subject matter is contagious, igniting enthusiasm and creativity among her colleagues. Whether through curriculum development, mentoring, or leading professional development, she continually elevates the standard of excellence within the department. So that's what your peers are saying about you. But I know as an educator, this next part is what you're going to really um think about for the rest of your life because one of your students wrote this. As a student, I notice when teachers do not love what they do. Conversely, I also notice when they do, Miss Haggler does. She brings love and care with her into the classroom every single day. All of her students feel it. Congratulations, Miss Habra. That got me a little bit. That's great. That does make me a little teary. Miss Heaggler
016was able to participate. I think it was at the beginning of March or the end of February in the one week long um opportunity professional development with at INCAT. And so she was fortunate to be part of a big ceremony, Miss Dills and I were able to attend that. And though she didn't win the state award, she won for us. We're proud of you. Yes. All right, Mr. Carter Steven, come on down. All right, let me tell you about this unique young man. Steven Carter was selected to attend North Carolina's Governor's School in Raleigh this summer. He applied to Governor School in the natural science category. The contemporary topic that he wrote that interest him was climate science and how historical study is impacting the future of scientific research. Carter is a member of the
017Mustang marching band, a member of the robotics team, and the National Honor Society. His favorite subject is math. I bet we weren't surprised about that, were we? And he has taken multiple higher level courses in preparation for furthering his education. So, he is only a junior, but this is what he has already taken. AP Calc AB, AP Calc BC, AP Physics, AP Language, AP Spanish. um classes at the North Carolina School of Science and Math in aerospace engineering and civil engineering. He is going to be well prepared to walk out of Smoky Mountain High School and go big places. Carter in the future plans to pursue an aerospace engineering degree at a 4-year university upon graduation. Congratulations, Carter. I inadvertently made his certificate wrong. So, he knows that already and we'll get him a new
018one. So, let's get a photograph. Great. One with Mr. Robinson. Yes, ma'am. Thank you. They make us look good, don't they? Awesome students. And finally, we've been sitting on this one for a while. Mr. Jacob Lambert, can you come on down? Okay. So, you may have already seen Jacob's awesome work that he has done as an art student here. And in just a moment, it's going to be displayed on that screen, but I'm going to tell you a little bit about why Jacob is standing here before us. The annual flag competition is a longstanding tradition of the North Carolina Art Educators in collaboration with the Council for Art Education and the National Art Education Association. It is meant to recognize and promote the achievements of students through their outstanding work in visual arts. Each year,
019art educators from around the state submit student created flag designs to the youth youth art month chair of North Carolina. The competition seeks a design combining imagery representing the great state of North Carolina, visual art, the youth art month logo, and the current theme, which is healing through color. The art educators of the NCAA board vote for the winning designs in four different categories: elementary, middle, high, and grand prize winners. Each winner and their teacher was also awarded a prize package for from Blick Art. I think that was mailed to your house. Is that right? Very good. So, we here at Jackson Community School have a high winner and that's the title of it. So, Jacob Lambert and his teacher Autumn White, who is not feeling well and could not be with us this evening,
020from Jackson Community School, won this award. Jacob is a senior who enjoys art, I love this, history of animation, industry, philosophy, and war history. Talk about a spectrum of things. I love it. Outside of school, Jacob's interests include hiking, walking, painting, watching movies. Jacob desires to attend Savannah College of Art and Design, doing something in politics and traveling the world. Big aspirations, Jacob. We are very proud of you. Congratulations. Do you do you want to tell them anything about your artwork? Can you tell them exactly what that represents because I think this is important and I want it to come from him and not me. So, uh, I wanted my piece to like kind of represent, um, Hurricane Helen that devastated us a while back by like, um, showing kind of the, uh, grain parts
021where, um, it's almost deadlike. And then you got the, um, painting uh, paintbrush that's like fixing all of that, kind of like healing the land, they are, and everything. Beautiful. That's amazing. I know we are. Congratulations, Jacob. And that concludes our recognitions. They typically are not that long, but boy, do we have some amazing students. Yeah. And Dr. Zai, Sunday, I believe, is the Youth Art Month art show at Western Carolina University. Is that correct? I think it's Sunday afternoon. Yes, sir. I don't see any art teacher. Yes. And um it's a wonderful opportunity. We have Western um art majors display the work. It's from every school in Jackson County, all different grade levels, and it's a wonderful opportunity to see the visual arts on display. And that's afternoon. I think it starts at 1.
022Thank you. Thank you. Um, next we have our consent action agenda. Uh, do I have a motion to approve open session minutes from our meeting on February 25th, 2025? Make a motion that we approve our open session minutes from our February meeting. Second. All in favor? Next, we have our information section. Uh, Dr. S with your superintendent report. Good evening, chair and board members. March has been a very hectic but good month for students and staff in Jackson County Public Schools. We are just, and I think the adults in this room will cheer, we are just 13 days away from the much anticipated Easter break, but we have 13 full days ahead. Each week in March, we have held community input sessions for the capital building projects that are on the horizon. The largest attended
023event was at Blue Ridge with nearly 50 stakeholders present. We've garnered many ideas, suggestions, and thoughts about each of the projects and shared the collected ideas to the architect. Pinnacle Architect has already provided a rough draft for both the bus garage and Fairview cafeteria and kitchen projects. We are currently awaiting the Blue Ridge drafts and those of the multiple athletic projects at Smoky Mountain High School. This really is a thrilling time for Jackson County Public Schools and our community. Spring athletics are in full swing. We've played games and matches at all locations and Smoky Mountain High School baseball had their very first baseball game under the lights just last week. Due to an unexpected issue with lights at the Webster softball field, they have yet to play under the lights. However, the lights are now
024functioning. We make sure of that. High school students across our district are completing the ACT and elementary middle grade students are completing their most recent check-in. I'm pleased with the results we are seeing and I'm confident we will show positive growth on our end of grade and end of course assessments. The intentionality and focus our staff is exhibiting while challenging students in their academic classes is really commendable. That's hard to do when you're 13 days away from spring break, but I'm really proud of what our teachers are doing. Principal Tim Kerr, who's not with us this evening, and his students at Smoky Mountain at Smoky Mountain Elementary have been making huge academic progress. This is evident in the I Ready data and goal setting. In fact, Mr. Kerr was invited to present at a statewide
025conference just last week in Charlotte. I'm honored that he is representing Smoky Mountain Elementary School and Jackson County Public Schools. But even more exciting is the deliberate instructional practice he and his team have implemented that are showing positive trends in data. Finally, it is my favorite day of the year coming up and it's not graduation day. The Jackson County Special Olympic Spring Games is scheduled for Friday, April 11th at the Smoky Mountain High School football stadium. It's always a wonderful day to watch, volunteer, and cheer on our Special Olympians. And if you want to volunteer, we can connect you to the right people to get you signed up. I hope everybody in this room and everybody watches uh watching will take a moment and go out and witness this day. It to me is a
026day like no other. And as always, I just am grateful and appreciative of the support of our community and the stakeholders. It's really obvious that Jackson County is prioritizing education and the future of our students. Thank you. Thank you, Dr. S. Um, up next is Jake with capital project updates. Mr. Chair, Dr. Ays, and members of the board. Um, just a couple of capital updates. Of course, this time of year, um, as the year is winding up, that we are reminded that next week is April 1st, so the year is winding down. Um, so that means not a lot of capital funds left, but we do have a few projects. Um, some of the ones we're most excited about, access controls, um, has been up and running at Kully Valley School. Not without a few
027small, uh, hiccups, but mostly gone extremely well. And a huge thanks thanks to Greg Stewart and his staff for help facilitating that and making that project successful. Also, as Dr. Ays mentioned, the lights at the baseball and softball fields for Smoky Mountain High School. Um, you know, as a former third string middle infielder for Smoky Mountain High School, um, it was particularly magical and I sent a lot of text messages that night to my former um, teammates. Um, and it was kind of hard to imagine that field under lights, but it was very special. But a big thanks to uh, Wes Plymmens, Jeremy Ellenburgg, Tom Young, and Principal Joey Robinson for all the hard work that they did to make those things happen. And a huge thanks to Dr. Ays who willfully um or through
028her I don't know how to say it stubbornness stubbornness um helped to get this project done far quicker than anybody including myself um believe that it actually get done and so that's just a wonderful thing for our kiddos. Um and the only other thing that I'll mention is that we are in the B budget process now um planning um for capital projects. And one of the things with all of the larger projects that are going on, what we are attempting to do um is actually set out a three-year plan for capital projects because we've had a 10-year plan for these large capital projects for well over 10 years to actually get them done. Um but the next thing will be for the board to think about big picture 10 year the next 10-year plan. Um
029but for us just making sure that the buildings we do have are up and functioning. We'll be looking at um a three-year um plan moving forward. And that will include just like we normally do to ask principles what are your top capital requests but instead of just the next year trying to again think about the next three years. And so, um, we hope to have that put together and that'll be a part of the budget that Christie will present to the board, um, in the normal time of year. Be happy to answer any questions about any sort of capital projects or building related issues. If not, thank you very much. Thanks, Jake. Up next is Christy Walker with the unudited financial summary. Good evening, Mr. Chair, Dr. Chairs, members of the board, you have in
030your packets the March unudited financial statement that shows that we are within our current budget resolution for this fiscal year. Does anyone have any questions about that document? Okay, there. Okay, Mr. Chair, we do not have anyone signed up for public comment and I did not receive any in advance. Okay, I think Christie gets to stay up there talk to us about our budget. Thank you. So, I am seeking your approval tonight for amendment number seven to our 2025 budget resolution. You will find a copy of that in your packets as well. And this amendment includes the state public um excuse me, state public funds, uh federal grant funds, and then the other specific revenue funds. What questions about this amendment do you have? Um I was just curious. I don't have really a question
031about this amendment, but um are our federal grants being affected by the changes on the federal level? So, we um we being myself and colleagues at a conference recently had the opportunity to receive an update which let us know that the funds we have currently are based have already been allocated. Oh, good. And so, we should not expect to see another federal fund breeze. they of course guarantee that but yes they were pretty confident it was okay. Thank you. Any other questions? If not I have a motion to approve the budget amendments. I make a motion that we approve the budget budget amendment number seven. Second. All in favor. All right. Up next we got uh money man Greg. come up for another request. I must start calling him Eminem. That's a good money man.
032M squared money man. There you go. Good evening. As Chairman Jameson has pointed out, yes, I am here asking for money. Um seeking requesting approval to purchase 387 student Chromebooks. Um, this is uh at a cost of $175,839.18. Uh, this is slightly earlier than I usually come to you with uh this request. Um, but our vendor and uh, Lenovo themselves have both expressed concerns with the new tariff changes and said that they could not guarantee the current pricing or inventory. And so they highly encouraged us to go ahead and take advantage of the current pricing we have and the stock that they have. So, uh, do we have any questions or anything you could answer? I did have a question about I wonder what is the white glove. There was a the line item for
033white glove service. What is that? I'm just curious. Oh, no. It's wonderful. So, a butler will come and will assist all of our students. We'll follow our students around. No, but it is very white. They see if there's any dirt. Um Yes. Yeah. Um it's a wonderful service. So they kind of help my staff. So they do a lot of the things. Um so they unpackage it. Um they power it on, they run updates. One of the biggest things that they do is that they pre-enroll it into our system. So into our domain, so that when those devices arrive, they've already been registered into our uh system. so that our users can immediately sign into them. They can immediately join our Wi-Fi without having any credentials. So, you can imagine um when you're looking at
034three 400 devices, unboxing those and going to each one and programming it um that white glove service uh is very helpful. So, yeah, great. Thanks. Yeah, I have two things to share or comment. We use white glove a lot. Especially Laura deals will know when we set up all these preschools that we grew from three to eight all of a sudden these folks come from the companies and put together. That's a lot of furniture to put together. So it is a a good bang for the buck. Yes. Um and then it's a lot of time. So that the general public will know while we're purchasing this these new devices. This is part of the cycle as they age out. Absolutely. This is part of our uh standard refresh. So, if you remember, um, I usually
035come to you a couple times during the year. The previous, uh, several months ago, I came to you and we purchased about this quantity, a little less. Those devices were going to our middle school, um, students to refresh those, uh, grades, and these will be going to our upper grades. So, they're um, and they're also part of a larger order that the county uh, provides us and orders um, they order those devices on our behalf. And so this is part of the larger order also. So takes a lot of devices to keep everybody running. So I have a question. Greg, could you get the white glove treatment for my house? I know. And I I would love it. I would love it for all of us, especially at that cost because yeah, it would be
036very helpful. Any other questions? Do I have a motion to approve the uh purchase of 387 student Chromebooks? I make a motion that we approve the purchase of 387 student Chromebooks. Second. All in favor. Thank you. Up next is Jake. A request. I'll let you spell out. Yeah. So, this is a little different request than we normally do, but not unprecedented. We have had to do this before. So, just a little bit of context, the North Carolina Center for Safer Schools had traditionally been housed under North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, but the legislature has decided to move that department from DPI to under the North Carolina uh uh state bureau of Investigations. And so they uh the NC the center for safer schools manages all the school safety grants for the state which we
037get several of every year. Um and so we applied for a grant with the assistance of Greg Stewart and Laura Dills. We wrote a grant for a half a million dollars to be able to do access controls at Smoky Mountain High School and Blue Ridge um schools, both campuses. because of that changeover throughout the year, us finding out that we were awarded those grants came much later. We wrote these grants in like October um and just found out week before last that we received them. So we found out that we only received 150,000 of the 500,000 that we wrote it for. And so we dropped back um to we feel confident that we could do the Blige campus for that amount, but not Smoky Mountain High School. So, we're going to do the Blige campus
038with that amount and the since we just found out the funding and we know that it'll be over $100,000. So, we need to follow all of our normal um bidding processes for that. We're going we are have actually already posted it for bid um and be able to give it the appropriate amount of time with all the steps. Um and that money goes dead June 30th. So, not only do we have to get it out now, we have to find a vendor that is willing to do all this and be totally done and ready for actually it's not even June 30th because Christy has to order money on a Monday and there's all these rules. Um, so, but it's basically midway through June the project actually has to be done. So, that's why we have
039this hurried up timeline. Now, I said $150,000, but I'm asking for $200,000. And I know Miss Whitty's going to ask where the other $50,000 is coming from. Um and that is coming the board is aware that many years ago we wrote a cops grant to do other access controls and safety. This falls within the parameters of that grant. So we are coupling the money from uh this grant and the cops grant together um to uh to put together this um uh this funding package. And so what I am requesting is that you authorize the superintendent to engage in a contract of that will not exceed more than $200,000 to um install access controls at um Blue Ridge School because we will not be meeting again before all these deadlines. Correct. Are hurrying up with the
040RFQ. Yeah, exactly. Any questions? I have a motion. I make a motion that we authorize the superintendent to approve the purchase of access controls for Blue Ridge School not to exceed $200,000. Second. All in favor? Thank you very much. Now we are at field trip. Dr. Eris, we have zipped right through the agenda. Um, so there are 10 field trips uh I request approval for and I'm just going to read them out um and then ask for your approval for all of them at the end. So number one is Blue Ridge Early College. Um students to travel to Pigeon Forge. Um number two, Blue Ridge School sixth grade to go to the Oasis Ranch. Um number three school grade three to the Foxfire Museum in Mountain City, Georgia. Number four, Fair View Elementary, third grade
041to go to um Wonderworks and Pigeon Forge and the Experia Ocean Experience. That sounds fun. Um number five, Jackson County Early College to travel to Pigeon Forge to the Escape Room. Six is Scots Creek Elementary, grade six, the Aquarium. Seven is Scots Creek Elementary, grades K2 to the Aquarium in Gatlinburg. Um number eight, Smoky Mountain Elementary, grades 6 through 8, a trip to Chattanooga, Tennessee. And then number nine, Smoky Elementary, grades 6 through eight to visit Ferman University. And then finally, number 10, Smoky Mountain High School, grades 9 to 12 through 12, um to visit the bodies exhibit in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. So those uh especially the last one when you see that the entire Smoky Mountain High School, grades 9 through 12, is not attending. It is um Miss Martha Smith Health Science class that's
042attending that. So, I did read that in the thing. I thought, "Oh my goodness, that'd be too many buses, wouldn't it?" So, I seek your approval for all 10 field trips. I make a motion that we approve field trips one through 10. Second. All in favor? I'm sure Kim would ask that she be allowed to attend some of these. I I want to go to number 10 as well. So, yeah. Um, at this time we find it necessary to go into close session pursuant to general statute 14318.11 for the following purposes under subsection A1 to prevent the disclosure of privilege or confidential personnel information pursuant to general statute 115 C-319-321 and A3 to discuss matters protected by the attorney client privilege. Do I have a motion to go into close session? Make a motion to
043go into close session. Second. All in favor? Wes remember I wanted to do it every other year. Um but I think Wes stated it best when he's like this too much work for all these people to do. I mean I feel like if a school wants us to come to the school we let them request it. But we could also create a opportunity meeting set aside for them to showcase their kids. Yes. Yes. Okay, we're back. Owen, uh, no action was taken during close session. So, at this time, Dr. go over the employee recommendation. Yes. I make a motion that will you approve personnel action agenda as presented. Second. Oh, no. I'm requesting a motion. You request make a motion I said it wrong. I'm requesting a motion to approve the personnel action agenda. I
044make a motion that we approve the personnel action agenda as presented. Second. All in favor. All right. The next regularly scheduled business meeting for the board of education is April 22nd, 2025 at 6 p.m. at Jackson County Early College. Do I have a motion to adjurnn? Make a motion that we adjurnn. Second. All in favor?
