001Okay, I'll call the meeting to order. We do have a quorum. And are there any adjustments to tonight's agenda other than with some flexibility? I would like to new business number nine and number 10. You want to move up to the first two items? >> Okay. D a motion to approve the agenda with the adjustments mentioned. >> So move a second. >> All right. It's wonderful to see a little bit uh fuller house tonight. So, we will begin with introduction of guests and we'll start right there with >> Miss Bailey. shots. >> Great. Good to see everybody. Okay, we're going to move right into director's report and I'm going to open it up to board members for questions. Sorry, we have another board member asking if we've started yet. Yeah. >> Any questions from the
002board? >> No, I noticed our kindergarten enrollment is down quite a bit. Do we anticipate that? >> So, our number is down right now. So, we're about usually about this time about a hundred more will hopefully show up. So, >> Oh, really? Okay. They're still in the screening process. >> Yes. And we're still tracking every day. >> 100 in prek. >> Do we have room? >> Okay. No, that was my only >> any other questions. >> I did not. I just had one and and really I'm not sure it's probably a collective uh item as far as in our food services with the discussion that you you know read about and hear about as far as funding and everything. What if any challenges do we anticipate um moving forward if if any of the federal
003dollars change >> with the food services? I know we're in a a unique position because we do own ours, but I didn't know Mr. De la Cruz, I didn't know if you had, you know, anything if you guys had and Tanya, I knew it was kind of like money and operations and I thought, okay, just just a little bit of a assurance or information for the board. at the moment. Uh, Juan and I have been kind of keeping up with it and making sure, but we don't have anything that's really going to make a big difference in what we have because we own our own cafeteria. And of course, throughout the years and all the stuff that we've been able to do and uh um what really helps us a whole lot is we, you
004know, on a report you can see there's three different schools that still do applications and you see the percentage next to them. And so we still have a lot of students that still qualify for free and reduce. And that with with what we have in place definitely is uh something that throughout the years that you guys of course as board members by taking over our cafeteria has really helped us a whole lot. >> And so we don't anticipate from a financial standpoint of where we wouldn't be able to provide the free lunch uh to all of our students at this time >> at this point. I mean, I know nobody has the crystal ball, but I just wondered what it was kind of looking like because it's certainly a wonderful thing, but I I know
005that sometimes that can get real challenging. >> So far, we haven't received any guidance on that or um heard anything from peed or or the feds on it, but we are in a good position with our cash >> and so I I think we can withstand um whatever's coming our way. >> All right. Thank you guys. appreciate that. Anything else? All right, we're going to move into the superintendent updates. >> I'd like to introduce three guests that will come with us tonight. And we are so excited to have not just one SRO, but three. and uh the partnership that we have developed with Billy County Sheriff's Office. Um they're the ones that approached us and we said yes, let's do this. And they have done an amazing job already and have just gone in and
006our principles are very thankful and grateful for their service and they're getting to know the kiddos and the campuses and they're just not staying at one campus site. They're their commitment is to get to every site and so I'd like for them to real quick so that we can introduce them. Come on, deputies. And then Dr. Parker, if you would like to say something. Carrie um heads up our um safety team and so she has been with me in this journey of securing our three SRO's. You know, Mrs. Thank you. Uh and members of the board, we uh got to go and meet them in their space at uh Lee County Sheriff's Office, which is incredible. And then had the honor of taking them and their supervisor around all of our schools. And I think
007that's a day that they're never going to forget. We walked and we walked and we probably got in well over 10,000 steps that day. And it was so hot, but it was a beautiful day. And what is so powerful is their commitment to us and and what they bring. two of them um were SRO's in hobs and so they bring phenomenal experience to us and and really have seen how we embrace I hope uh they feel how we embrace our SRO's and um that we needed them and we want them and we're so grateful to have them and so we appreciate the support of the board to to let us have them because the principles feel it um the students feel it and they are out and about and it just feels different having them
008here. So, we really appreciate it. >> Thank you guys. >> And deputy rums and deputy here >> all the way from Tennessee, Mississippi. Sorry, I want to go to Tennessee. And again, Captain Roach has been working closely with us as well as sheriff and under sheriff as well. So, we are so thankful and grful to And I hope that you guys have felt loved and taken in >> and absolutely part of the district. Thank you guys. Appreciate >> it. [Laughter] >> We'll get you some Wildcat swag to go with that, you know. So, um like our football games and um graduation, all of our extracurricular activities, they will be a part of that as well. So, we're excited about that. That's great. Thank you guys. >> Thank you all. >> Yeah. Yeah. questions from the
009board. you are >> out of order as usual. >> You know, south of us, um, Hobs district lost one of their schoolboard members and so we grieve with the Hobs school system and their board um, as they are, um, grieving themselves and found out yesterday that the husband, Mr. and Mrs. Appleton, have both passed away. So, um I do have a sympathy card there for you guys to sign and I will get that to Superintendent Strickland. >> Our condolences to Hobs. >> We absolutely enjoyed working with Peggy through the years and she will be greatly missed and our hearts certainly go out to the HOBS district on this. All right. If there are no other questions for the superintendent, we're going to move right into routine matters. We'll take items one through four as part
010of the consent agenda. Are there any questions from the board on any of those? >> No. Ma'am >> hearing none. Do I hear a motion to approve items one through four? >> I move. >> Second. >> All right. Thank you. Next item, budget adjustments. You've been a little busy, Miss Hutchkins. >> There are several budget adjustments for your uh approval and I stand for questions. >> Okay, questions from the board. >> I noticed that most of them um construction services under object says construction services. Are they all for the same construction? >> Yes. for CTE. >> Oh, >> for our CTE project. >> Okay. >> Yes, ma'am. Congress. >> Okay. Any other questions? Not. Do I hear a motion to approve the budget adjustments as presented? >> I'll second. Okay, we do not have any
011bids tonight nor donations. So, we're going to move right on into old business. First item is second reading to consider updates to policy IO500. I'll turn it over to the superintendent. So, this is our second reading and um just cleaning up the language there and so that is all corrected and ready for your approval. >> Okay. Do I hear a motion to approve as presented? That's so >> second. >> Next item, second reading to consider approval of revision to policy G sections 0050 to 1835. Over the superintendent. >> So this is the second reading. uh for section G that we have been working on and uh we made some corrections there and they have been uploaded for your viewing. Okay. Questions from the board? >> I didn't have any. >> No, I just noticed a
012few um formatting things that I can get. Does does Vanessa do the formatting or do we send it >> to policy services? >> Okay. Yeah, but you can always Yeah, I'll reach out to her for sure. >> Um, there were just a couple of things uh really more questions on a couple of them. >> But um in G511 and I know that we did all this last year when we transitioned everything to uh PTO. Um, but there was a reference in that second bullet to sick leave and so I thought we need to be sure we get that cleaned up as well because it doesn't matter how many times we all look at it, there's always going to be one that we missed. >> Okay. >> Yeah. So, I think just getting that and maybe
013it's just leave >> it. There's something about it. I don't know. >> Okay, let me look right quick. Yeah, I mean, no, that's that's great. Let's double check. >> It says during the first seven days of absence due to a job related injury accident, the employee will be placed on personal time off provided the employee has accumulated a sufficient sick leave. >> Just take out the word sick and just have leave. >> Okay. >> Sufficient leave. >> Leave. I think >> it could be vacation for some people. >> Right. Right. You know, I just want it to be real clear for our employees. So, >> good. Good catch. >> Okay. And then uh ensuring that on 1790 we did add the district's identification instead of the yellow highlight. >> I'm sorry. >> 1790. >> Yes,
014ma'am. That should back here in the corrections. Can it take the highlights off? >> She Okay. So, Miss Vanessa has it highlighted to take the highlighted off when she said policy services. >> Okay. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. And then since we're on those policies, I just had a couple of quick questions. Uh 750 and 761 that talk about staff conduct. I'm just curious to what extent or in what method are especially our new employees, but even returning employees, we're at the beginning of the year. How are they informed of this? I I don't really know how that's rolled out. >> What was >> it's the staff conduct 1750 1761. >> Yeah. So the principles um we create an overview of board policy for the principles and um expect them to touch on these items and then
015also this year we have put an employee sign off that they've read the employee handbook which references the staff conduct as well. So it references that that so they they actually can see that that's it's got like a hyperlink. Okay. Okay. Okay. I was just kind of curious reading through that. >> And you know, we we tell them that they're responsible for reading the employee handbook and being aware of board policy, but in the employee handbook, it does back reference. >> Okay. Okay. Good. >> In important areas. >> Okay. And then the only other thing I wondered and really just to ask the superintendent um 1600 where it talks about staff partic participation in political activities with an election coming up. Do we need to ensure that every campus is aware so that somebody doesn't
016unknowingly >> so I will remind them they should be aware but I will remind them of the policy. >> Okay. Okay. All right. And that was really all I had on that. So, like I said, a couple of them were just since we were in that area, I wanted to ask anything else on those. If not, do I hear a motion to approve those uh sections of policy G with the noted changes? >> So, move. I'll second. Okay. Okay. All right, we're going to move into new business. And I think this is when we will uh move items nine and 10. Please I'm so excited that we're going to get some >> call forward. The person you're trying to reach is not available on the line. Who are we calling first? Okay. >> Hi, Eric.
017This is Dery Maker with the Lovington Schools. Can you hear me? >> Yes, I can. >> Okay. If Good afternoon. If you can hold for just a minute. I believe that we're going to be picking up Mr. Melendres is al also. So, he's we're going to put you on hold for just a minute. >> Your call has been trying to reach available at the time. >> We can just go there. >> Okay. Is he there? Who's this? >> Hey, Eric. It's It's Dimry again. Sorry about that. Uh, we've not been able to connect with Mr. Melinda, so we're just going to turn it over to you to talk about the uh ETN. >> Absolutely. >> What is before you is a necessity resolution. This is the first step in the education technology issuance process. Um
018this um this resolution is similar to what the district has um has done in the past. Uh the the education technology note um they are basically uh notifying um and calling for uh the issuance of a lease purchase note to be placed through the state treasur's office. Um and that this will be u paid back from property taxes that have already been collected and are on hand with the district. Um, and the amount of the education technology note will be $600,000. Um we will be coming back to you at your September uh meeting which we will have the final terms and interest rate on the on the education technology not which is expected to be around 4 and a half% um and then the bonds will close in mid October and then be paid off
019a day later. Um, and uh, with that, I would be happy to answer any questions that you have. >> Okay. Uh, thank you very much. Uh, we're always very appreciative of this opportunity when it comes up. And so, I'm going to open it up to board members for any questions they may have. Fortunately, we are familiar with this and you guys do a great job of putting it in easy to read language for those of us that don't do this all the time. So, questions from the board? >> I don't have any. >> Okay. All right. Nobody seems to have any questions. >> Do you do you want to also talk about the defecence resolution? >> Uh, yes. I can I will I can speak to that as well. >> Okay. >> Um, if uh
020if you if you would like I can talk about the defeat. at this moment or if you wanted to take action on the education technology bill first, whatever the report is. >> No, we we'll go ahead and let you do that and then uh that way we can do all of this pretty seamlessly. >> Okay. Uh well, very good. Um so, uh similar to prior years, um the district has um collected um excess um money in the debt service account over and above the payments of district makes on its 2021 bond. Um this is due to that the district has continued to maintain it $659 rate. Um any excess collection over and above pay property taxes then used to pay that debt off. Um the uh the resolution that will be before you um will
021uh basically authorizes the part of the visa um of the um district 2021 NFA loan um with New Mexico Finance Authority. Um after the issuance of or the defeasance of these bonds, you will you will basically be defeing the 31 and the 2030 through the 23 m uh maturity and so the remaining of the wealth will continue to stay outstanding. We we do anticipate that over the next two years that the district will be able to fully pay off the 2021 loan and then should the district so desire could go back to voters um uh in 2027 for additional authorization. Um specifically to this uh specifically to this again is being funded through uh monies that are on with the subject to your approval. Um we would buy a set of ances that you can
022feed and paid off with this will no longer be legal obligation of the district. And with that I will be happy to answer any questions. >> Okay, questions from the board. No, >> I I think that when we voted a few years back to you guys did a great job of guiding us on keeping a steady tax rate to the best of our ability for our taxpayers. So, it wasn't up and down. And so, to be to see that working well for us, I I really appreciate that. Um, any questions from the superintendent? Okay. All right. So, we're gonna take the bless you. The first one consider approval of education technology notes necessity resolution. Do I hear a motion to approve as presented? >> I so move. >> Second. >> Okay. And the superintendent's recommendation.
023Okay. Okay. And the next one, consider approval of the defecence resolution. Michelle, there's your new English word for your students tomorrow, right? Defecence. [Laughter] >> All right. And the superintendent's res recommendation. >> Okay. Questions from the board. Hey, do I hear a motion? >> Some move. >> A second. >> Pickle ball or two minutes. I'm not sure. >> All right. Thank you. Both of those did pass, Eric. And again, thank you for what you do for our district and we certainly appreciate you taking the time tonight. >> Absolutely. And uh we uh will be visiting with you again in September. Okay. approved education technology. Well, thank you very much. >> All right. Thank you. Bye bye. >> Byebye. >> I don't know where the button is. Okay, we're going to assume it's off. All right.
024Okay. So now then we are going to move into first item listed consider approval for disposition of assets. >> Hi there are two items just uh to be removed that are non-functioning. >> Okay. Nobody wants those copyers. >> All right. Is there like a copier heaven copier them off too? >> Copier heaven. >> That works. >> They're in the great farm. You know, the nice farm build, you know, where the old >> they live out their life on the pasture. >> All right. Do I hear a motion to approve the disposition of assets presented? So move. >> Second. >> Okay. All right. Next item. Consider approval of preventative maintenance plan. question. >> I'm looking at >> every single >> You'd be surprised. Some of us did. >> I I did find um and I asked
025Jesse about it. That needs to be rewarded on page 14, isn't it? He says, he says, "No, you didn't say it." It's worded to say uh sustain a monthly at or below 25% work order completion rate. He's striving to stay at 25%. No, he wants a monthly at or below 25% open work orders. And so Vanessa is going to change that work that wording what 75% or better work order completion rate. So, and he said they're at what 90 >> about 95 to 100%. >> Good job. >> The maintenance is 100%. Reactive is about 90 95%. So, we're doing good. >> Yeah. Great. >> Okay. Any other questions? >> No. >> Recommendation? >> Okay. Thank you, Mr. Van. Appreciate what you do for us. >> Absolutely. >> All right. Do I hear a motion to
026approve the preventative maintenance plan as presented? A second. >> All right. Next item. Consider approval for out of state travel for Skills USA student to travel to Washington DC. >> We have Miss Abigail Sh here. If you want to go ahead and come up. >> This is exciting. She not only uh represents our district and and but she also represents the state. So she's holding an office uh for the state. So she's has the opportunity to go to Washington DC for a week. Is that correct? >> Uh for four days. >> Four days. >> Um to sharpen her leadership skills and represent Lovington and represent the state of New Mexico. And we have her mom here and her brother and then Mr. if you want to come up and say anything, but um I'm asking
027you to approve her out of state travel. So, you have that packet in front of you. >> Yes. >> Uh the only thing I have to say is this is a tremendous young woman. She's done a great job being our first aid officer and we're just really lucky to have a school board and directors and principles and staff that'll push these programs and allow these opportunities to happen. So, there's a fairly detailed plan before you and I'll stand for any questions you may have on it. >> Have you been to Washington DC before? >> I have not. >> Oh, yay. You're going to really enjoy that. Wear very comfortable shoes. Very comfortable shoes. There's so much to see and it's wonderful. So, that's fantastic. Any questions from the board? >> I don't. >> And Miss
028Begley's going with you? Yes, ma'am. >> All right. Wear comfortable shoes, Miss Bailey. >> I was confused. I'm sorry. There's >> Friday, September 19th, a stay in Atlanta, Georgia. Or is this just >> So, is it highlighted in yellow? Is that what you're >> Okay. So, those are those were pulled directly from our itinerary to nationals this summer. Okay. >> We have not booked flights yet. >> Oh, okay. Um, so once that happens, everything that's highlighted there, both on that itinerary and in the budget itself, everything in yellow will be updated with new numbers once we get that data. >> Okay. >> But I don't believe we have flights booked yet. We're waiting on this approval. So then once that flight's booked, I'll be able to put all the flight numbers in and all the
029times for that travel. >> Okay. Okay. >> Maybe they can do that JSX. >> Yeah, >> that looked really good. Sorry. >> All right. Any other questions from the board? No, I just want to add we're very thankful that we have someone of your caliber representing. >> So proud of you and thank you for doing what you do for our district. So that'll be exciting. Very exciting. Superintendent's recommendation. >> Okay. Do I hear a motion to approve out of state travel for our students? >> I'll second pictures. >> Yeah. Have a great time. Thank you. >> Good job. >> All right. What an exciting moment for students. >> All right. Next item. Consider approval and adoption of the athletic activity handbook. >> So this is our second reading. Mr. Moran has done a great job
030of cleaning up and uh getting rid of the redundancy that was happening in the book. And so we both stand for any questions you might have. >> Questions for the board. >> I had a couple just clarifying things on page send me a note. I like the little note deal on this by the way. >> It's kind of nice. >> Um on page 25. >> Do you have it in front of you? >> I bet you probably got it memorized, don't you? We'll see. >> Page 25. >> Get the rolodex going. >> But this is just where it's talking about the uh sixth graders. >> Yes. >> Um participation. >> Are we Do we want to list the other sports in there? Should we list the other sports in there? It just has >> volleyball,
031basketball, and track. >> The appendix lists the border conference sports and the eligibility based on border conference rules. Yes. >> Right. I just I just wanted to be very clear as to what is approved to and so I know that it said that in the appendix, but >> are you saying >> it doesn't say anywhere here that >> which which section are you in? >> Page 25. >> Yeah, page 25. It's number one. >> Number one. >> I'm just saying it doesn't like I don't know why we wouldn't list cheer if it lists cheer in the appendix. Why would we not list? Because we list volleyball, basketball, and track >> in the appendix. You know what I mean? >> Yeah. I'm just saying then then it's >> and and really just repeat that st same
032sentence that you've got. And I do like that appendix. >> So maybe just repeat uh if I'm understanding you correctly, just duplicate that reference to uh cheer >> right >> for those two bullets and add it in to that section. Is that what >> Yes, ma'am. That's what I'm saying. But because the appendix is clear, I feel like, but in the appendix, >> it doesn't list. >> So just add cheer to that number one. >> Yes, sir. I think that makes >> That's true. You could just add it there because then it goes into more detail as you put in there. See the >> appendix more. I'd rather put it once. >> Okay. Um >> yeah, thank you. I like that. And then I had another question and this is just a um on the
033appendix because on page 25 it says participants sixth graders can participate in volleyball cheer track whatever it said the right basketball volleyball and cheer I guess >> but then on the appendix it doesn't say anything about >> on the participant. Is it just because that's specific to the border conference? >> I assume >> border the district's take is that sixth graders may participate. Border conference does not want that. Border conference wants the eighth grade only participating at the border conference level. So our sixth graders are able to participate in intramurals but not on the border conference team. If they do participate in a border conference team, we are not eligible for >> you have to note that on the floor >> as well as seventh graders. >> Seventh graders as well. >> Right. Sixth and
034seventh. If they participate in those then Okay. >> Right. And we have to make that determinate determination before the season begins. >> Right. >> We have to tell the border conference, yes, we're allowing sixth and seventh graders to play, which means we will not participate in the tournament. >> Or we say we're going to participate in the tournament and go by the rules. Okay. >> And my personal take is we try to win that tournament. >> Yes. >> Okay. Yeah, that that's all I had. Thank you. >> Okay. Any other questions? >> Superintendent's recommendation. >> All right. Mr. Mayor, thank you for your work on this. I know it's big, big project. Thank you. Do I hear a motion to approve the athletic and activity handbook as presented tonight? >> So move. >> I'll second.
035Okay. Next item. consider approval of theou for non- studentent participation in Lovington Municipal School extracurricular activities. Um so this is anou that we brought before the board last year and uh we renew it every year. Um while it is a parent's choice to attend public or private school uh we allow our private the private student the private school students to attend our extracurricular activities which athletics and activities and the max is three that they can participate in. I'd like to propose a flat fee per activity would make it easier on our business department. Um, and it would it would not have to be a surprise every year and which is our school right now that we have in Lington would be able to plan ahead of time to be able to tell their parents what
036that is going to be. We do not charge the parents, we charge the school for their involvement in our activities. And so um if the board approves that I'll make the adjustments to theou I will personally deliver to Miss Whitman and the adjustment that we made. >> So you'll change under payment schedule that first paragraph that will be changed to instead of a cost differential factor in accordance it will be $500 per student per activity >> up to three. Okay. And we would need to change the second one too because it references shall be equal to the amount. >> But then you could just eliminate that part. And it does say one student maximum of three activities. >> It would just be um >> their communication and relation with that school. >> Um And as
037we're waiting on the numbers, then we're waiting to the end to bill. And I just think it'd just be better for the parents and that private school and for our our school district as well, just to know. Now, if at some point the numbers are very skewed, then we'll come back and revisit that. But this is I think would be pretty quick and and they have to have their own um uh physical They have to follow all of the rules of the NMA and these are just activities that are sanctioned by the NMA. >> Yes. >> They have to be eligible. All those things. >> Any other questions, comments from the board? >> Is that what the fee will be or do you know that or are you still trying to figure that out? >>
038It'll change from year to year. >> Yeah. just see that they would know ahead of time. >> Sure. >> Okay. >> I like it. >> I think it's a good idea. >> Yeah. It not being up and down all over the place >> for planning on both sides, >> you know. >> Um and that way, how many students do we have currently? Do you And I know you may not have a solid number. >> Right now, um there was four on my spreadsheet. >> Okay. private school students >> and once if if I understand correctly once the teams are set then if the student decides to quit the the school would still owe the district. >> That is correct. >> Yeah. But those first couple of weeks when team tryyouts are happening if they decide
039that's not their thing then but once the teams are set the student chooses to quit. Okay. >> Yes. They would still have still held accountable to the fee. >> Yes. >> All right. Okay. Okay, if there's no other questions, do I hear a motion to approve theou as presented? >> Second. >> Okay, next item, board approval and review of the school improvement plan for New Hope High School. Okay. Um, so first of all, I'd like to thank um, Miss Stevens and Mr. Riffle and Miss Hutchkins for working on this large document. Uh, we're excited and committed to moving uh, New Hope High School forward. And this is a piece of this puzzle. Um this portion is in um this portion that you were looking at has to have school board approval and uh we did
040speak with Miss Maker on this and I believe that everyone hopefully has had a chance to see that but I do have Miss Stevens here that could answer any of those questions that you might have of the document >> questions for Stephanie. >> I did not have any This and this is just my curiosity and number two under number one. Number two, ensuring s sustainability through strategic plans. Um it says such as the navigator pilot program. Is that one of the online? >> So this year um the NPED has put out where there's a navigator pilot. The navigator pilot is a an individual that we currently employ. It's Mr. or Dr. Riffle. He um will help New Hope High School ensure that they're meeting the criteria of their strategic plan of their annual plan that
041they submit to um to peed. What's included in that plan goes on in Vistas for the public to see. So, it's what is our desired outcome? How are we going to meet that outcome? How are we going to measure that outcome? And so um both the application that you the portion that you have in front of you and the dash plan have to be approved by peed before the funding is released. And so that navigator pilot kind of works as the liaison to help make sure that's happening. >> Okay. >> And a portion of his salary would be paid out of that 24190 fund that that comes out of. >> Okay. Okay. Other questions? I I think we have to commend the work that Miss Hutchkins is doing over there. She is diligent about really
042offering the best opportunity for every one of our students that, you know, through different circumstances, learn differently, have different situations, and she's doing a great job. I'm sorry she's not here tonight, but I imagine she's got plenty of other things she's doing. But please pass that along. She she's doing a great job with those students and her staff. So, all right. Thank you, Miss Stevens. Do I hear a motion to approve the school improvement plan for New Hope High School? >> I'll move. >> I'll second. Okay, next item. Consider approval for request of donation from the Lovington Youth Sports Association. Um the Lington Youth Sports Association has done a couple of things within our district donated some things and what they are asking is um permission to update the Love Street complex, field sports complex
043and They're wanting to put in some scoreboards and so before they can even do that, it has to have your approval. Great. >> Okay. I'm curious. I've heard rumors that the city's wanting to build a whole new different complex out behind the new Maverick. If they do that, is the Levington Youth Sports Program still gonna use >> the Love Street? >> This is the first I've heard of this, so I don't know. >> But the scoreboards would they stay there because they are part of the property. >> Why put them up if nobody's going to >> I would have to think that at this point it's >> so far down the road. >> Right. Right. That's what they want to That's what I'm thinking. I You know, I think we've all heard rumblings, >> but
044it's so far down. Yeah. So that's it's not in the near future. >> Not that not that I I have no idea, but this would be >> I'm sure social media. >> So it becomes property of Lington school. >> Do you have any idea what they will be what they look like or any of that? >> Um I do know that she's wanting or they are wanting it for softball, soccer. >> Okay. >> Baseball. >> Okay. Yeah. I don't I mean I don't mind them putting them up. I just thought >> are they going to want to take them when they go? >> It becomes part of the property. They would have to come and request. >> So what will happen is if you guys approve this then >> it will be coming back up
045on the agenda in September as a donation. But right now they need approval to move forward the scoreboard. >> Okay. Okay. Great. I would I mean this is I just would make sure they are nice I guess you know what I mean like quality I I don't you know what I mean I don't want to put some >> to to what end do our uh operations and maintenance people >> have connection with that not to add to your plate but I mean just I agree with what you're saying I do >> and I do remember that was a concern when we did this deal with the city or with the sports group whoever it was that we did theou or whatever it was to use that >> but that that was a concern of >>
046and I think it states in there like it's it's kind of restricted on what can be placed on there but I without looking at it right >> Mr. Dea Cruz and Mr. >> So my response would be that they would need to get with Mr. Bener on that and Mr. Cruz, you know, because they would need to look at that because it is on our property, >> right? >> Okay. Okay. Okay. >> Okay. Good. >> But I think that would be the only ask is to for them to be sure and coordinate with with these guys. >> Okay. And I can let Miss Taylor know that. >> That's great. >> You know, and I do want to The Leington youth sports organization has worked really hard to partner with us and we see them as
047a feeder program really. >> No, I agree. I think it's a good thing. >> That's great. So, you anticipate that in September they'll come back with their presentation for the or just to for approval on the donation >> will be in the donation. >> Yes. Great. >> So, I will go through the process. >> Okay. I went out to watch some of the youth soccer this summer and holy cow, there were a lot of kids. >> All right. Do I hear a motion to approve the request for the donation from the Lington Youth Sports Association? >> A second. Okay. Next item. Consider approval of finalized exhibit J4632. >> Okay, this is a a discipline matrix and uh this was sent to us by policy services that uh we needed to um update this exhibit. So
048we're just bringing it to you for your viewing information. >> Okay, questions from the board. So this is the updated version I assume. >> Yes. >> Because initially I don't think all the little boxes were filled in completely. That's the change. Okay. >> I do like the way it reads in the matrix. It's a little easier. >> So Okay. Do I hear a motion to approve uh exhibit J 4632? >> So move. >> A second. >> Okay. >> All right. Thank you. Now the next item would be the first reading to consider approval of update to policy I7450. This is basically an addition to the policy for graduation exercises. Um Senate Bill 163 I believe um yes Senate Bill 163 passed this last spring and it's um speaking about u Native American um dress I
049guess. graduation. So, um, we needed to put it into policy. So, it's right there for you under graduation exercises I >> and it is first reading. So, if you look through it and see anything, but I think it's pretty much pulled verbatim from the statute, >> right? It is word for word. >> All right. >> Okay. And moving into the next item, first reading to consider approval of policy advisories 270 to 272. Yes. So um the first part of this document is talking about um addressing the parents rights to inspect instructional materials. And I know that every year that we have a new adoption. Um, Miss Stevens has headed that up and we um open that up to the public to come look at the instructional materials and we hold that for several days uh
050for them to come view. So, we are in compliance with that. There is also three policy advisories attached to this. Um, and right now the um NMSBA, Mexico association is not asking or not making changes. They're just wanting you to look at I 5261 for input and um the policy advisories 270 271 is about um technology well 270 is about copyright compliance and then 271 is about um adding artificial intelligence language to the technology resources and instruction and they're also adding it into the referenced policies. Policy advisory 272 is new and it's a policy on the use of artificial intelligence. So three policy advisories and then just to look at I5261 if you want to add input to that one. Well, I think we know that um as AI becomes a a more embedded part
051of the instructional world, there'll be adjustments. I think this is definitely going to be a fluid document. So, I'm hoping as as it moves into more and more that I mean, we've got great staff that they can give great feedback on what's working and where the challenges are and then that can help us as as we make recommendations. So, >> and Miss Maker, we are already ahead of the game. We have already been doing this for the last two years. We've even brought in trainers to train our staff on how to use AI appropriately, use it as a tool in the classroom. So, >> and we've um worked really hard with our principles on this. >> On a side note, I don't know if any of you saw the article that JC Homer wrote for
052the newspaper. Um it was in the Albuquerque and Santa Fe papers this weekend and it was very good on exactly what you said. AI as a tool with teacher is the critical piece in there and she did a good job with that. So uh that goes hand inand with what we're looking at as we certainly want to service our kids the best way. So again it's a first reading. Anything comes up please don't hesitate to reach out to the superintendent. Okay. and final one under new business. First reading to review and revise policy G sections 1900 through 5900. Okay. Um so this is the first reading for this and um >> it's not as bad as it sounds. >> It's not as bad even though we have all these blue sticky notes. Um so there
053are revisions for you to look at that Miss Vanessa has uploaded for you of revisions that we made so you don't have to thumb through. Oh, good. Thank you. >> So, those are already there and I have worked closely with the HR department with Dr. Parker on this and uh worked on it together before we did the revisions. >> Okay. >> So, this doesn't have the revisions, but what you upload in our packet does. Okay. Thank you. >> Appreciate that. >> Just cleaning up some of the forms. >> Use AI on this to give us >> He's gonna use AI on that. There you go. Work smarter, not harder. Okay. All right. Public comment time. I'll open it up for any public comment at this time. Hearing none. Uh this concludes the uh open portion
054of tonight's meeting. Do I hear a motion to move into executive session? >> So move. >> Second. >> Yes, ma'am. Yes. Take a five minute recess.
