002all those in favor I I opposed and abstaining I motion carries 401 all right so uh I think the next order of business would be I don't even have the agenda pulled up because I wasn't run uh was going to be um to talk about committee assignments um per board policy committee assignments are at the discretion of the chair of the board but my assumption is that we'll keep it the way it is unless anybody has any strong feelings otherwise so take that um under advisement and we can just formalize it at the next board meeting so if anybody wants to shift uh for any particular reason away from their current assignments or two other assignments just let me know and I'm sure that we can accommodate I don't have any intention handling that on
003right so we'll move on then to the consent agenda GRE you staying on by the way or are you dropping at this point okay okay thank you you bye bye um we'll look for a motion to approve the consent agenda which would include minutes from the March 3D meeting sove is there a second second any discussion all those in favor I opposed stain motion carries 4 Z move on to to the business reports okay I do have a couple things that will need action um at some point tonight I did upload the Abby group new service agreement for the 25 26 school year there weren't any changes to it um we they basically have a fiveyear contract with us but we have to do an annual review because the budget itself changes and I have
004to submit that for approval which then I need to get your approval on the actual updated agreement okay um I did upload it this um this afternoon for you guys so at some point I do need you guys to approve that Matt I will have to have you sign it um at the end of the meeting I didn't know who the chair was going to be so I didn't have anyone sign up prior you didn't know who was coming in no I I wasn't sure if it were going to happen I was like what's happening what's happening here um I have a we need to have a conversation around um tuition we need to set tuition rates for 26 um I do need to have well myself and Steve need to have a conversation with
005you in nonpublic about a request and um then I'm hoping that after that you guys can come out and have discussion and vote on tuition rates for the next school year um I think that is it that's all I have for action for you guys from my report sorry I want to clarify so we're talking about the tuition rates in nonpublic and voting thereafter um we don't have to talk about tuition tuition rates in not nonpublic I need to talk to you about a request okay um which I'm not sure if it's going to turn you into one direction or another on setting your tuition mates going forward got I just ask because it's on the agenda under a new business yes so if we're going to table that then I just want to know
006okay um any additional questions then for p okay we'll move on then uh to new business beginning with the with item a the sixth grade field trip um we're looking to do a sixth grade field trip to the lome lake AMC Hut through the AMC Mountain fer program uh the dates will be May 17th and 18th costs associated with the trip are covered via an anonymous donor trip would leave Lakeway Elementary at 7:30 roughly on Saturday the 17th we would head to the AMC Highland Center where we would gather all the gear for the sixth graders and staff if needed I would be going on the trip and then another staff that's undecided at this point would also be going on the trip from Lakeway then we also have an AMC Highland Center member with
007us to guide us up from the parking lot of L Lake hiking trail in Notch to the Hut we'd be there for one night FK beds there's a naturalist program the kids will run through and then we would head back down back to the Highland Center on Sunday where we drop our GE off and be back to Lake B hopefully around 1 um yeah I've done this trip in the past and it's a really great opportunity for the kids to learn some teamwork and compassion um patience is required too on their part it's really great exercise and watching them work together any questions you're Alex yes S I should have asked you to identify yourself at the beginning I did see I parentheses Alex over thing I have on screen so I was like I
008think I got it wanted to clarify everybody was wondering I'm not criticizing very defensive what what type of gear do they pick up at the high Center the Highland Center has anything that they would need from shoes to socks honestly um when I've done trips in the past we give kids a back list to bring from home um of just gear they could need right if a kid has a backpack they want they're welcome to bring it but if we get to the Highland Center the AMC kind of has some standards they want here to meet just for safety reasons so if the gear doesn't meet the AMC standards for safety reasons they'll they can leave their gear at the Highland Center and then the AMC Center get socks hats shoes whatever kids can grab
009there bags and we know alls have anything they we get on the familiar we did we used to do a sixth grade trip Travis your no Cole's class got that was Co oh the Cole's class got he's been every single thing they were supposed to do has not happened for him all the way through so this is a similar trip yeah so this is similar to the trip we did previously that we had word approval but Alex is sort of rekindling that and kind of making it into a program and not just a field trip um there's going to be an education piece there's going to be a behavior of component in order to be able to attend um and through his magic Wizardry he got the entire trip paid for so that was a
010barrier in the past for some students um he's eliminated that as a barrier so it will be Choice based it'll be there'll be a system on how kids are selected to go there'll be a lot of factors Behavior being a big one um interest uh I know when we did the F before there were several kids that just didn't go and so they didn't have a trip so this will be those kids that really want to go that are motivated to go um it's on the weekend we'll do our best to schedule everything around all nice yeah a question about the funding great that's awesome by the way um do we technically have to accept the anonymous donation at some point or do we not from a policy perspective well I didn't know about it
011so yeah we do okay it's over $500 we can accept it anonymously we just need to formally accept it at some point we have to accept anything over $500 yeah just a policy law thing but it's not we so when booking booking gets paid for by the anonymous donor and then you guys just formally accept yeah yeah it's just aity will be over 5 I'm not certain how it needs to be worded and I think we can solve it at a later date it's not an issue I just want to make sure that we get it on accept the donation excess $500 for purpose funding that whatever um so we can we can do that at some point Patty and Shea will make sure we do okay any additional questions uh then for a on
