001Um, I will entertain a motion to come back into session. Moved by Randy, seconded by Lisa. I'll vote. Randy, >> yes. >> Char, Alisa, and I vote yes. and we are back in session. Only those items listed on the agenda were discussed. No action was taken. Item number six, uh, no action is necessary. No action taken. We'll move on to hearing from the delegation. Um, we have two requests tonight. First, uh, Miss Pierce and, um, Miss Pierce, I would ask that, uh, only those items that list that are not listed on the agenda that you, uh, discuss. And if you haven't already talked to the superintendent, a bunch of questions, Matt, I would ask that you would ask her first before bringing up before the board because we can't respond. So then the only two
002things that I think I had on there that I that I did go to Miss Roble about was um our mail money issue that we had when we went to rectum. Um I had a parent that did reply or did um voice concerns to Miss Robble and Mr. Glassman, which is the athletic director, um asking uh why we did not receive our meal money. Um in her response, well, first in the response uh from the parent um he was a he found a list of things that the athletic director would be personally responsible for. And I just want to make sure to bring that up. It's uh he's accountable for ensuring that athletes don't go without essentials like meals on trips. And that's exactly what we went without is um no money for our meals
003even though we've had them last year. Um when I did bring it up to u Miss Roel, I had sent her and I sent both uh our athletic director and Miss Roel a text message to ask why we didn't receive mail money for our athletes. Um, she said she would have to get with Miss Susan to ask her um to find out if um to investigate it to see if we actually received no money last year, which I had already said we did receive no money last year. So, I didn't know why it warranted an investigation. Um, in the response to the parent to the parent, she said that the um policy was changed last year. So if the policy was changed last year, I don't understand why Miss Robel and the athletic director did
004not know about the policy change prior to us leaving Douttown. So that's my biggest concern um is that I do remember the policy changing last year because I am the one that brought it to the attention of the administrators and I said which I said again this year. Um the student athletes run 2 to three miles at a cross country meet. Um they sit in the sun or in inclement weather for four to five hours, sometimes longer, to run their races. Um, at the very least, we can care for our student athletes and make sure they have funding for their meals, which is only $10 at this point in time, which she stated in her email that $10 doesn't buy much, but at least helps, especially when we have athletes that have more than um
005one child that's running. So, I just want to make sure like like she stated to the parent that the policy was changed, but to me she said there was further investigation needed to be able to respond to me, which I'm not quite sure I understand that. Um, so I just want to make sure maybe that we're all on the same page now that policy was changed last year. I did bring it to everybody's attention last year at a coaches meeting that I didn't feel that it was right not to um give Mill money no matter what the mileage radius is. Um these student athletes are representing Maxwell Schools. Um they put a lot of effort into their um what they're doing and I believe that we should make sure that we are caring for them
006um the best that we can when they're in. So do I get three minutes for each one? um for no minutes total. >> Oh, well that would >> well then I just want to make sure that the booster club gets started because I have an email from Miss Robo that says it would get started to coincide with the beginning of the school year and it hasn't started and I reached out and there was not a whole lot of information about that but booster club is needed for our athletes as well. And I said any of these others if you haven't already talked to Mr. I'd ask you >> I will do so first and then I will come back to the school board. >> Sure you have. Do you have anything? >> Yeah. >> The
007items that are not on the agenda. >> This all the items on the agenda. >> Well, this item specifically. Uh I I just had a long day and I didn't want to write off specifically, but uh >> it pertains to the booster club cuz I want the booster club. My name is Essie Cra. Um and yeah, um I was one of the the parent that voiced my concerns, Mr. Royall. Um, and so yeah, I just want to like I just don't understand why it's not urgency and just like without thought just to jump for the children. I mean like they need to be fed and they need to be taken care of when they're under uh Maxwell's care uh under their supervision. And I apologize I am super tired. So, and I'm just here to
008make presence uh because I don't I I'm seeing things going wrong and I don't understand where the confusions at uh where the ball's getting dropped. Um I don't know how all the inner workings um fair say the the funding goes. Um but I do see a lot of shady stuff, you know, and it's that doesn't add up to me. Um, I just I just think that we should be here for the kids and focus our attention on them and so they can succeed. We should be here empowering them and you know uh meals is a big thing like that just I just don't understand this is off topic. I don't understand why we fired educators or we have educators working two uh you know working double dual classrooms and well we have a groundskeeper like
009makes no sense like I I mean I know it's just a shouting match and and it's no point even getting up here but I'm just here to show presence and show that I'm here for the kids. Thank you. Thanks. Sure. Uh Russ >> Hi Russell, fairly new. Um quick I don't have anything written down either. Um kind of memorized but uh just two things I do want to address. Again, the issue with the activities money, the issue that did happen, you know, thankfully Miss Pierce did come out of pocket for the kids that didn't have it and she whether she was reimbured at a later time, which shouldn't have happened regardless. Um, that was my biggest thing. Another thing I have noticed is my son was in basketball last year and there was a lot
010of stuff going on for basketball. However, with cross country, I'm not seeing as much. Same thing with like Miss Pierce said, we're in inclement weather. Um it literally downpoured on the Caitlyn Peckles this weekend and I mean they were drenched and all Miss Pierce provided a 10x10 um canopy for them. Um but that was it. All the other schools which I can send pictures of had these nice pretty decent sized canopies where their teams were actually able to huddle under. Um our team wasn't able to. Um, I'm going to be one of the biggest advocates for kids and making sure they get what they need, especially when it comes to sports. I played sports my whole life and I just I never had I've never had the issue that kids went without. Um, that was
011one concern. My next concern would be over the issue with uh Miss Glassman that happened to see if no names. Oh, >> I'm sorry. Um, >> say staff member >> with the staff with the staff member that happened. Um, I don't know if you guys are aware, but my daughter was actually um she got verbal with my daughter a week prior and was in her face yelling and screaming to the point where my daughter actually had an anxiety attack. Had it not been for my daughter's teacher and my daughter's my daughter being brave enough to stand up and actually go to Miss Robo and say something, I don't think the issue would have been addressed. Um, so my concern would be is there something a policy that can be put in place to where the
012kids can come. Yes, I know we have something anonymous, but a lot of these kids we are now hearing after the fact about how they are being treated in the classrooms and they are too afraid to say something because they don't want to get reprimanded and they don't want to be singled out by staff members. Um, two days after this incident, my daughter actually did say hello to this staff member at an event to where she was given a dirty look and another child was addressed but not my daughter. So my question is is could there be a policy in place where the reprimand, an automatic reprimand or even something for our kids to be able to go privately and be like, "Hey, this is what's going on." And not fear retaliation. Um, luckily my
013daughter was brave enough to stand up and now we're hearing that it had been going on for quite a while. So, but that's all I wanted to address with you guys and thank you. Thank you. So shrimp and the father of the famous And we don't know what's wrong. [Music] All right. And then another thing I want to talk about is the policies. We change the policy for our phone. >> Oh, policy. Was it changed? Even you have a home right before you and in 1975 when I was full here and there's no reason for that and the staff and administration need to have then they go children was from the future of the series recently. Uh it was like two years ago where director in the heart that poster he allowed that individual post
014off track and the fellow [Music] back. He did nothing because of he divine eye just like everybody else knew here not not my father my father for anybody my understand. >> Thank you for your input. That's the best. >> These are all the requests that I received. We will move on to the consent agenda cash report. >> Um, so I submitted all of the outstanding reimbursement requests on the fourth. Um I put question marks on the title four because when I paid that I didn't realize that that was one of the funds that um was on hold at the federal level. I did talk to somebody in the fiscal flow through and I asked him do I need to avoid that and he said that funds were just released last week and so we should
015be seeing the approval to spend title two and four um in the near future. So he said just leave it out there. It will get approved. The only one that's hanging out there is title two, but I talked to a different representative and that should be going through with no problems. Any questions on our expense vouchers? Okay. So, uh budget adjustment number five is a maintenance bar um moving funds from student support to administration. Six is an increase bar. It was our um initial award for our reap funds. Um last year we received 14,000. This year is 15,000. Uh bar seven is a maintenance bar. I'm trying to move a little bit of money left in indirect costs up to supplies. I know it's only wait sorry maintenance bar to move from general supplies to
016supply assets to purchase a welder. Bar eight is um an increased bar um initial bar for revenues that we're receiving for our edtech note that were not budgeted because we didn't need any funds, but we're getting a few residual funds in. So, I'm budgeting those. And bar nine is the transfer bar. This is the one to move a little bit of indirect cost up to supplies. That's it. >> I do have Can I move on to asset disposal? >> Any questions on the budget adjustments? I see the first one was to professional development. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Title two is always professional development. is just moving where it which line which function it's coming from. >> Thank you. Thank you for information. Um there's no questions on the budget adjustments. We'll move on to
017asset disposal. >> So our ice machine in the cafeteria um is leaking in two spots. One from the top where it makes ice and now one from the bottom where it holds the ice. So we're getting rid of it and we ordered a new one. That's all I have. >> No questions. >> See no questions. We move on to item nine, old business project update. >> In your board packet, we have a copy of the project update from the project management company. We did have our pre-bid meeting for general contractors to respond to the RFP for construction on the new school. Five um general contractors attended and they're listed there. It was Bradberry Stamp, James Corporation, Franken Construction, HB Construction, and Real Construction. Um, we are issuing the addendums responding to the questions that the
018contractors had during those and as they're reviewing the documents. Those uh bids were initially due 9:23. Three of the general contractors have asked for an extension on that. Uh, so we're checking now to see if PSFA is able to accommodate that for the the bid review meeting. Um, the teacher housing, theou is currently in process through PSFA. So, we're hopeful that that's going to be pushed through here pretty quickly. There was a hold up in one of the departments with that um due to a delay on Moscow's teach project. They had an in-person meeting in Moscow last week to talk through what the issues were on that project and that department has since approved moving forward on our project. But they are going to request that we do um frequent onsite instruction meetings as the
019teacher project is going through. My understanding is in Moscow there were some their their project was all tied together like ours was originally before we pulled the teacher out to a separate project from the school build. And so there was confusion between the contractor that was responsible for the school, the contractor responsible for the teaches, the utility design and the general design reps. And so all of those different people had some miscommunications that resulted in delays on their teach project. So, ours has been pulled out, so it's a completely separate contract where those other general contractors are not involved and there's not as many hands in the footing, so to speak. Um, but we will do on-site uh reviews with the contractor for the teacher with PSMA and our project management group to make sure
020that everything goes. Um, other than that, that kind of goes into the next update. We needed to have a special board meeting on October 6 to approve the recommendation for the general contractor. That is now the same night as our fall regional school board meeting that's happening in Clayton. So, if we decide to go to the fall meeting in Clayton, then we need to change our special board meeting to announce the contractors. And I double checked with PSFA on the timeline for that. We could move that board meeting to the following night, which would be the 7th. Or if you prefer, we could move it earlier in the day before we leave for plate. Um, but those two agenda items are kind of tied together. to Clayton. >> The meeting in Clayton starts at I
021think it's >> 5:30. item on the agenda for that board meeting. So if you want to do that, we could do it, you know, 30 minutes before we leave for Clayton or we could move it to another up to >> do a special meeting at three and then leave for the fall regional meeting. >> Okay. >> And if you can let me know if you're going to attend that fall regional meeting or not. We do have to RSVP. Uh I forget what date they guidance. >> Is that a Monday? >> Yes. >> But then we supposed to leave that regional meeting 5:30 or 5? >> 5:30. >> Yeah. >> Oh, and his email actually says 6. At 6. His email actually says 6, but the flyer says 5:30. They didn't give us a deadline for
022the RSVP, >> but I know they're planning meals. Yes. [Music] We'll do the special meeting at three and then leave right after. >> You want to be in the teachers lounge rather than >> Yeah, let's do that since there'll still be kids on campus. Any questions on the fall board, Danny or the special? >> See, we'll move on to item 11. Other business superintendent report. So, we had three students attend the Del Soul Drone FAA pilot course in Albuquerque last week. Um, we went with three other districts and there were a total of 15 kids or 15 people who went and took the course and took the FAA certification test. Two of our three students who went and took the pass and they were only there were only five people in the entire program passed
023that test and two of our >> so they are preparing a little demo for you all. So at the next board meeting they'll take you outside and show you what they learned on their drone control. >> They still give them drums. >> They have to do an essay basically explaining why this is important for them and how they plan to use it in the future. And then they're given their drone. It's awesome. I don't used to be >> dual credit. This semester, juniors and seniors are eligible to take dual credit. Currently, this semester, we have one student enrolled in a class at Luna Community College. We have two students taking the wind energy certification course through Mesa Lands, and we have eight students currently enrolled in a class at Eastern New Mexico University. We had
024six of our juniors accepted into UNM's rural student connectivity project. That project provides them with mentorship, training workshops, a free laptop, and paid internships. And those six students are going to the first meeting of that um on Saturday at UNM. Uh we had our first progress report of the year go out today and at each progress report in addition to grades we also update parents on how students are doing in terms of their absences according to the attendance success criteria and we had 33 of our students have zero absences so far this year busing our buses continue to have issues our activity bus made it all the way to its uh cross country trip, got back to the um the school and would not start to pull into it. Um thought we had fixed that
025issue. We sent it on shorter distances first to make sure before we sent it on a longer distance. It made it to Clayton and back with volleyball. It made into Springer and back for that B Pro B proud uh workforce solutions and then when it was pulled up to the gas tank to refill with gas, it would not start again. So, Tillery brought us up a part this past weekend. We have replaced the part that we believe is causing the issue. Um, but we want to run it on a couple shorter ones, start stops before we send it on a long distance. The other newer bus, the uh route bus had a line break. Um we were able and that happened while they were out on a on an activity. They were able to get
026it kind of taped up to get them back home safely. Tiller brought us a replacement for that and that was replaced. That bus did make it down to Albuquerque with volleyball this past weekend without issue. So, we're going to send that one on the trip again um this weekend. And our older bus that so far PET has not had us take out of service continues to be kind of our old faithful. Um but when we sent it to Pekos this weekend, the the driver seat belong. So, we're doing a replacement part for that. We did have bus inspections today and all three buses passed inspection. So, we continue to send it on some shorter trips to make sure that students are safe when they're being transferred. >> You've been responsive as far as >> they
027have. On top of it, >> yes. Any questions? Anything? Anything else? Thank you. First question on that or >> yeah related to something that was discussed. Yes. >> Oh no it's not it's not that's actually applauding that was good. That was actually some good uh news that's you know doing some due diligence on the buses which the buses have been having some issues and you know and there's some kids getting out there and expanding their minds empowering. So, you know, that's the kind of things that we should be in here doing is advocating like my dad said for the children. like there's special people in this world that go above and beyond, you know, for children and I understand there's a business aspect of it and but there is some flexibility in funding and kids
028needs without doubt should always be met. needs should always be met for the kids and like the moh I don't I guess um I just really liked what I heard there. That was good. That's good stuff. Do you guys have a lot to do with that? Getting that funding that that she's just uh like getting those kids to get like free laptops, free workshops, free like do you guys moving funds? Do you guys orchestrate that? Are you guys just going to look at me like I'm an idiot? Okay, I guess that's exclusive now. Thank you. Very good. >> One of our both of those student in both of those programs. >> I mean, you need a coaching for your train to work. [Music] Any further questions? See, now we'll run to the consent agenda. We'll
029entertain a motion to approve the budget adjustments. Second, >> Randy seconded by SH. All in favor say I. Post say. I will entertain a motion to complete the asset explosive list. Casey, seconded by Alisa. All in favor say I. Post same. Right. As stated previously, we'll have a special board meeting on October 6th at 3:00 in the teachers lounge to approve contractor for the blue building. And our next regular meeting will be October 20. At that meeting on October 20th, Designs will be here with kind of a 3D rendering of the new school presentation. >> Could you say that again, please? >> Sorry. Decker will be here on that next board meeting on the 20th to show some 3D renderings of the new school design. >> Thank you. >> There's nothing further. I'll entertain a
030motion to adjourn. >> Second by Randy, seconded by SH. All in favor say I. Same. Motion carries 729.
