00109 call this meeting at school board order will begin with Pledge of [Music] Allegiance ALG flag the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all three of us all the pressure is for making and seconding motion we will begin with the consent agenda we'll look for a motion to approve the consent agenda which includes minutes from the February 18th school board meeting so is there a second second any discussion all those in favor I opposed obstain motion carries 30 we'll move on to the business report she you need us to slow down no yeah she's got at recording for sure I I just have a couple things um one is some of you may or may not have seen our

002CID Do's digital signature for our check registers we've been working toward this because we don't want to take up your time at the board meetings we want to be able to give you guys time to review everything and not feel rushed at the beginning of a board meeting she's so I'm so but I do want you to know once we sent out that trial one um I was reviewing it we are going to rotate all those reports so that they're going the same direction so you don't have to your head while you're reading all the reports okay so just so you know it will get better each time you get it um some staff have never experienced this type of stuff before so it's the first time for them so we're making our way through

003it I think it's going to be a great thing to try to take up less time and be more efficient um also our national school lunch contract would be Abby group is going through its Ann annual review right now and with that in order for them to come up with an estimated budget they've got to know what we're charging next year for meals so I have put I I think I attached what I'm proposing for next year it is a requirement that we should be working towards what our reimbursement is federal funding should not be used or cannot be used used to supplement paid meals so um I think I did explain to you guys like how much we get reimbursed for this how much we get reimbursed for that um so technically we we

004should be charging charging right now 287 for breakfast um so we're just going to up that 50 cents to 250 for next year and for lunches we need to work toward $4 but because we're showing um oh what's the word I'm looking for showing the initiative to increase we don't we can't do them all at one time we've been slowly increasing last year I did lunch this year we'll do breakfast next year we'll go back to increasing lunch and we do have a positive program so why there a reduction on the adult cost there's no reduction there a quarter a 25% reduction no increase where's the save reduction according to your actuals from last year look at the actuals doc now all we added 25 cents to the adult breakfast and 25 cents to okay

005I just wanted to I'm like oh gosh where did I say that so um for reimbursable meals breakfast would be the only one we be increasing adult meals obviously we not reimburse anything for that but we certainly have to be charging more or equal to what we get reimbursed for so those will go up to 350 and five for the adult meals okay so I will need action on that um believe that's the only action I need from you tonight so in other words you're seeking a motion to approve the meal prices for 2526 as proposed yes please I'll second motion discussion all those in favor I oppos stain motion carries 30 anything else that is it that's all I had thank you anything you guys have for Patty anything for the new business anything

006for unfinished business on The Residency program yeah um we will be doing some interviews uh week after next um I'm not sure how many candidates we have to talk to there at least five I believe just talked to Kristen today so represenative from Pou State I'll be involved with that Christen of course Kelly and Crystal will keep you a prized and the candidates that we talk to as we move forward in the process at some upcoming meeting can you maybe break the board inviting about plan for oversight for that program sure post morans departure yep that another I think the other thing with that is that we've asked the Inception of this program why it's mostly focused on Lakeway and so now the concern for me is that you just said that the interview process

007was going to include Kelly Crystal correct is it only because that's your intention for next year based on the candidates no I I I I mentioned that I don't know the candidates at this point whether we have secondary do absolutely I was told we have some uh some applications but no good point I will obviously hope we have secondary candidates that follow through we interview absolutely have somebody secondary good good point absolutely what sorry okay on the Lakeway committee I just signed the docor bwell to do the work that we authorized last me um there's been a whole bunch of emails that I haven't kept up with with um Steve and Henry and Horizons and Dale and bwell and little B gu so they're working on that application and I think we might do like

008a work session maybe next week or the end of this week or something to kind of finish everything out then we'll have a better update of anything no the process is things are getting done we'll be able be able to submit it they've been yeah yep Architects Horizon have been extremely helpful very respons yep okay any other unfinished reports are we negotiating anything facilities Greg bill is that it's attached to the agenda attach it this morning you guys read no you do you want to speak I read the email about the water crate the but that's your I didn't read but it doesn't look like it doesn't look like there's anything here for us to take action on so it's just just update pretty much everything was the same as what we've been talking about

009yeah if you click the link yeah I it I'm just Mak sure there's no votes shared I didn't see request no there wasn't any I should have shared it I just add to the agenda yeah what meeting the town meeting is it tomorrow yes yes best of luck all the candidates the only the only thing that that uh Dale did say mention tonight's a little bit different than what we've talked about before is just the uh crowd management um capacity at Lakeway you know I I was at the December concert there are people standing all over the place so in Dale's know he said the concern with the required crowd crowd Management training Administration now completing how we going to handle lway events next school year uh with training administrators responsible following all safety codes
