1
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,080
Um, I have a meeting with them later

2
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:11,679
this week, so I will ask them about

3
00:00:11,679 --> 00:00:12,480
that.

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:20,310
>> Okay.

5
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:21,920
» Carol, did you ever start the recording

6
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:23,680
on this meeting?

7
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,920
>> Uh, nope. Did you?

8
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:26,560
>> It's dead.

9
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:31,269
>> Recording in progress.

10
00:00:31,279 --> 00:00:33,520
Let's go back to the beginning.

11
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,680
>> Hope you took good notes, Sarah.

12
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,320
>> I did. Is it okay if I just read the

13
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,069
notes of what we did?

14
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:43,920
» I think so. As long as there's an audio

15
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,600
recording of it and then you'll have

16
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,600
your written notes as well.

17
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,800
>> Okay. We had a call to order that Susan

18
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,879
did and then we skipped our Walder study

19
00:00:52,879 --> 00:00:55,039
and board capacity meeting. There were

20
00:00:55,039 --> 00:00:57,680
no public comments. We had a review of

21
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,559
the minutes of June 29th and of July

22
00:01:00,559 --> 00:01:02,960
14th which were both approved. There was

23
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,720
no administration review and there was

24
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,880
no board committee reports. We were

25
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,520
discussing the oath of office and or we

26
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,360
had a question for Suzanne on how the

27
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,920
oath of office was done. She did not

28
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,360
have a date for the roll out yet, but

29
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,280
she suggested that we reach out to the

30
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:18,880
SCSB

31
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,439
office with Stacy to get clarification

32
00:01:21,439 --> 00:01:23,360
on how they want to support us in doing

33
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,680
this. Is that correct?

34
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:28,080
Okay.

35
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,119
>> Yeah,

36
00:01:29,119 --> 00:01:40,230
>> that's it so far.

37
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,390
» Carol, are you

38
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:45,200
» next?

39
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,360
>> Well, yeah, I can I can help with this.

40
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:53,360
Um, so our school status, um, we are in

41
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:58,240
deferment currently. Um and there's some

42
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,799
things that the board needs to consider

43
00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:04,479
in um how to move forward. So we

44
00:02:04,479 --> 00:02:06,880
submitted the

45
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,879
pre-application the proposal to

46
00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:12,959
um

47
00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:17,040
apply for 7 through 12. Um so it kind of

48
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,319
starts

49
00:02:18,319 --> 00:02:19,680
>> 11.

50
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,640
>> Yeah.

51
00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:24,959
>> Did you have a question, Carrie?

52
00:02:24,959 --> 00:02:27,520
I'm so sorry. I accidentally tapped my

53
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,800
unmute. I'm so sorry to interrupt.

54
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,040
>> No, just making sure that um Okay, so um

55
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,080
so we turned in that pre-proposal.

56
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,800
Um and

57
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,080
here are my thoughts on on moving

58
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,239
forward with that.

59
00:02:46,239 --> 00:02:51,280
um we need to have in some way um

60
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,319
whether we continue with the application

61
00:02:54,319 --> 00:02:57,680
for 7 through 12 or if we try to move

62
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,879
forward to open just 9 through 12 in the

63
00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:06,800
um next school year. Um we have to get

64
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,440
pretty solid numbers really quickly. I

65
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,159
I'm going to say that if we don't have

66
00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:14,800
150 interested students by December,

67
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,519
then it the likelihood of being able to

68
00:03:17,519 --> 00:03:20,319
get enough students enrolled to open is

69
00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:22,319
highly unlikely.

70
00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:24,959
Um

71
00:03:24,959 --> 00:03:27,440
I think that our best shot

72
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,040
>> is that just 9th through 12th 150.

73
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,760
>> Um that's whatever direction we go

74
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,879
>> or 7th through 11. But whatever

75
00:03:36,879 --> 00:03:39,040
direction we go, we we still have to

76
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,360
have about 150 students minimal to open.

77
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:48,640
um that that means more students in 9

78
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,879
through 10 or 11. If if we are only

79
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:55,120
going for that or if we are applying for

80
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,599
the expansion, we in order for them to

81
00:03:57,599 --> 00:03:59,760
approve it, um I'm going to say that

82
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,360
they're going to want actual names on

83
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,040
lists to prove that we are going to be

84
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,000
able to have enough students to open um

85
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,599
since that has been one of our biggest

86
00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:12,480
challenges. Um

87
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,159
so

88
00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:18,079
I think that um and and then the funding

89
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:22,880
issue is is the other big piece. Um the

90
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,440
process if we're if we're going to get 7

91
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,880
through 12 um

92
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,759
we have submitted the pre-application,

93
00:04:31,759 --> 00:04:34,639
the proposal, whatever they call it, and

94
00:04:34,639 --> 00:04:36,880
the state charter school board will

95
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,199
review that I think in their September

96
00:04:39,199 --> 00:04:42,240
meeting is what they've said. Um last

97
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:43,680
time it was in August, but I think

98
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,120
they've moved that to the September

99
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:50,160
meeting. um and they will vote on

100
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:51,600
whether or not they want a full

101
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,680
application from us or um or if they

102
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,040
don't think it has a chance. Um I I

103
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,280
think we have a decent chance for them

104
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:06,160
to ask for the full proposal. Um

105
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:07,840
uh but it depends on the conversation

106
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:11,039
that we have in that board meeting.

107
00:05:11,039 --> 00:05:14,000
The process that I would suggest for

108
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,080
getting students

109
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,600
um sending out enrollment surveys to our

110
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,320
three feeder schools uh specifically

111
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,280
asking them do you plan on enrolling

112
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:30,639
your student if this is available and try and get as many of the families

113
00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:36,160
as possible. Um, so the question would be how likely are you to enroll

114
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,479
your student for um, so to the current

115
00:05:38,479 --> 00:05:40,720
sixth grade students at MSA, how likely

116
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,479
are you to enroll your student for 7th

117
00:05:42,479 --> 00:05:44,400
grade in 2728?

118
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,960
Not likely, unsure, very likely. How

119
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,960
likely are you to enroll them in 8th

120
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,120
grade for the 2829?

121
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,880
Um,

122
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,919
so any and and then it would just go by

123
00:05:55,919 --> 00:05:58,160
grade level. the same for Wasatch with

124
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,160
their sixth, seventh, and eighth grade

125
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,000
and also Treeside um fourth, fifth, and

126
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,479
sixth grades. Just to ask them, are you

127
00:06:06,479 --> 00:06:08,560
planning on enrolling with us? How many

128
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,360
people can we get on that list?

129
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,039
>> 150 students.

130
00:06:13,039 --> 00:06:14,560
>> Yeah,

131
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,400
>> Carol, I still think it's the issue of

132
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,080
location though, and we don't really

133
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,440
know that. So, that's one of the

134
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,120
problems we're still having.

135
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:22,960
>> You are correct, and I'll get to that in

136
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,560
just a second. Um

137
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,080
Uh

138
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,520
let's see. So I mean to answer that

139
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,120
briefly, I I think the offices over by

140
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:39,039
Treeside um are the most equitable as

141
00:06:39,039 --> 00:06:40,880
far as

142
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,240
um rent cost. All of the utilities are

143
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,080
included. Um the space is is workable.

144
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,720
They're willing to work with us. Um so I

145
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,639
think we go ahead and move forward with

146
00:06:52,639 --> 00:06:57,280
that as our location. and um and see

147
00:06:57,280 --> 00:07:00,000
what we can get on the list. Um also

148
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,479
having a school bus and having a pickup

149
00:07:02,479 --> 00:07:04,400
point at the American Fork Front Runner

150
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:09,680
station around 8:15 and one at the Provo

151
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:14,240
station um at about 8:50 and and school

152
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,440
start time between 9 and 9:15.

153
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,039
Um, so if we just kind of use that as

154
00:07:21,039 --> 00:07:23,120
the information because I think anything

155
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,160
else is is very extremely unlikely. Um,

156
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,680
but giving them the full information and

157
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,080
letting them decide from there.

158
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,880
>> Okay. Um

159
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,800
then

160
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,360
um so the feeder the surveys to the

161
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,680
feeder schools to ask to get accurate

162
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,919
counts of who from those schools is

163
00:07:43,919 --> 00:07:46,000
actually planning on enrolling with us

164
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,759
attending the high school preview nights

165
00:07:47,759 --> 00:07:50,800
for all of the junior highs. Um and

166
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,759
again adding families to the list of

167
00:07:53,759 --> 00:07:56,240
anybody that might be interested. Um

168
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,000
that one will be kind of a delicate

169
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,240
conversation um because we'll have to

170
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,280
tell them we are approved to open. We

171
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,199
have everything ready except enrollment.

172
00:08:05,199 --> 00:08:07,280
So you know if we if we get enough

173
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:08,800
people on the list do you want to be on

174
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,639
the list um and consider us for

175
00:08:10,639 --> 00:08:12,560
enrollment? So it's just kind of a

176
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,639
delicate conversation to have with those

177
00:08:14,639 --> 00:08:17,360
families. And then we also continue

178
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,520
>> those don't those conversations usually

179
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,360
happen in the spring when they're

180
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:22,000
talking?

181
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,680
>> They happen in September and October. We

182
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,840
missed them last year. Oh, okay. That's

183
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:26,960
good to know. Okay,

184
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:28,639
>> so that was one of our big problems that

185
00:08:28,639 --> 00:08:30,240
by the time we reached out to ask about

186
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:31,599
it, they said, "Oh, that was last month.

187
00:08:31,599 --> 00:08:33,760
Oh, that was yesterday. That was so we

188
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,519
had we just barely missed them." So, we

189
00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:37,519
only talked to two junior highs outside

190
00:08:37,519 --> 00:08:39,279
of our feeder schools.

191
00:08:39,279 --> 00:08:42,880
>> Um, and so that was talking to our our

192
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,720
target people for enrollment. Um, so we

193
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,240
have that list and it's just a matter of

194
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,600
contacting them this month and saying,

195
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:50,720
"We want to be on your high school

196
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:51,839
preview."

197
00:08:51,839 --> 00:08:54,800
Um, so then continue interfacing with

198
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,320
the families that are currently on our

199
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,480
list and making sure that we're not

200
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,560
duplicating our counts. So some of the

201
00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:02,640
people on our list are at Mountain

202
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,040
Sunrise that will get this survey of are

203
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,720
you planning on enrolling? So we just

204
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,000
need to make sure that we have our list

205
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,160
clean to

206
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,399
>> to get the numbers.

207
00:09:12,399 --> 00:09:17,839
150 students um with 7 through 12 um 7th

208
00:09:17,839 --> 00:09:19,760
through 11th grade picking up those that

209
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,320
enrolled for 10th grade this year um and

210
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,480
keeping them. They'll have like a class

211
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,839
of 10 people. Um but if we can get a

212
00:09:27,839 --> 00:09:29,920
full 50 students in seventh grade and a

213
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,800
full 50 students in 8th grade, then we

214
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,959
just need 50 students in 9th through

215
00:09:34,959 --> 00:09:38,800
12th grade um 9th through 11th grade. So

216
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:44,480
with our 10 students in in 11th grade um

217
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,440
you know 10 to 20 students if we have

218
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,200
those can be smaller classes starting

219
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,000
out um if we can fill up that junior

220
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,150
high. Yes Carrie

221
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:56,800
did you have

222
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,680
>> um I just yes I just wanted to clarify.

223
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:03,040
So, does that mean we won't if we happen

224
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,440
to find more students who want to enroll

225
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,560
for 11th grade, will we accept them?

226
00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:09,120
>> Probably.

227
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,200
>> Or Okay.

228
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:12,880
>> Probably. I mean, we'll want to fill up

229
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,440
as many as we can. Just recognizing that

230
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,920
our our 9th through 11th grade until we

231
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,200
have students that are going to feed

232
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,440
progressively all the way through are

233
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,000
going to be smaller.

234
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,720
>> Disa, you also have a question.

235
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:32,399
>> Yeah. Um I'm I'm um thinking that um it

236
00:10:32,399 --> 00:10:36,800
would be better for us to have a speaker

237
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,040
and present

238
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,279
what we're offering, you know,

239
00:10:41,279 --> 00:10:44,160
academically and um artistically and all

240
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,399
of that stuff so that people are

241
00:10:46,399 --> 00:10:49,920
inspired to enroll

242
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,160
because just to go to a school and say

243
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,120
would you join us? I'm not sure how many

244
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,320
people know how it grows, you know,

245
00:10:58,320 --> 00:10:59,920
older.

246
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:01,279
How how it

247
00:11:01,279 --> 00:11:04,480
>> So, the the high school preview nights

248
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,440
um they have

249
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,680
>> um all of the high school options come

250
00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:13,040
and they each give like a two to three

251
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,360
minute presentation on this is who we

252
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,360
are, this is what we offer, and then you

253
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,440
have a table and the families come by

254
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,399
and talk to you at the table. So the the

255
00:11:22,399 --> 00:11:23,920
high school preview night, you're you're

256
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,680
talking to people face to face. This is

257
00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:28,959
who we are. This is what we offer. Um

258
00:11:28,959 --> 00:11:33,279
>> but this is um this is um to the Waldorf

259
00:11:33,279 --> 00:11:36,800
Elementary parents who are there already

260
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,440
and uh is that the is the high school

261
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,120
preview night at those schools?

262
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,640
>> Um I

263
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,560
>> because I'm thinking of

264
00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:48,880
>> at Wasach. Yes. And we went to that one

265
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,640
last year. Oh, and that's

266
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,959
>> how would MSA would you do one even

267
00:11:52,959 --> 00:11:54,720
though it's not considered a high school

268
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,399
preview, but like a middle school

269
00:11:56,399 --> 00:11:58,399
preview? Do they have one of those?

270
00:11:58,399 --> 00:12:00,079
>> I don't know that they do, but I'm

271
00:12:00,079 --> 00:12:01,920
willing to talk to them about that. And

272
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,320
I'm not sure what Treeside does. Um, our

273
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,440
feeder programs, they we've been talking

274
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,160
with them and and are pretty familiar

275
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,480
with who we are and what we're doing.

276
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,800
And so sending out the surveys to them.

277
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,839
I'd like to be able to just set up a

278
00:12:17,839 --> 00:12:19,279
little thing and go to a thing, but all

279
00:12:19,279 --> 00:12:20,560
of them are like, "Our families are

280
00:12:20,560 --> 00:12:23,040
really busy and they have enough things

281
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:24,720
to come to. We don't want to plan an

282
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,279
extra thing." So, I've been shut down in

283
00:12:27,279 --> 00:12:29,360
coming to present

284
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,040
specifically about our program. Um, but

285
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,240
we've had enough conversations that um

286
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:37,920
that I think especially at Mountain

287
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:39,920
Sunrise, they are very familiar with who

288
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,760
we are in our program and they're the

289
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,519
ones that are asking specifically for

290
00:12:43,519 --> 00:12:46,079
the seventh and eighth grades. Um, so I

291
00:12:46,079 --> 00:12:48,240
think the survey will be well received.

292
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,079
>> Could we put up a table in their lobby

293
00:12:50,079 --> 00:12:53,040
or something just for the parents or or

294
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,519
outside right by the drive and pickup or

295
00:12:55,519 --> 00:12:57,600
something? Would they allow us to do

296
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,160
something like that?

297
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,720
Um, we would have to talk to them about

298
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,320
that. I don't know what that would do. I

299
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:07,920
mean, we've put their we they've put our

300
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,720
flyers up on their board space and and

301
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,639
we've posted to their Facebook groups

302
00:13:12,639 --> 00:13:15,920
and we have we had a booth at the winter

303
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:16,880
fair.

304
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,399
>> Okay.

305
00:13:18,399 --> 00:13:23,120
>> So, as much as they'll let us join, um,

306
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,880
we we keep talking to them about those

307
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:29,120
options. I don't know that a a table. Um

308
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,000
the other thing we have to consider um

309
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,200
is is that the funding is extremely

310
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,320
limited and I have to find other

311
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,160
employment this year.

312
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,880
>> So this is all volunteer from me and and

313
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,000
we have no other employees.

314
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:46,800
>> Okay.

315
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,880
>> So that's that's the other reality.

316
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,560
Marta.

317
00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:54,959
>> Uh, my idea, I don't know if someone's

318
00:13:54,959 --> 00:13:58,480
already thought of it. Okay. Um, Carrie,

319
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,959
maybe she can answer this or just chat

320
00:14:00,959 --> 00:14:04,800
something. Um, are you part of the MSA

321
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,680
Facebook group? Maybe she could list

322
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:09,680
something on there.

323
00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:13,920
>> We So, this isn't about details on them.

324
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,680
>> We We don't need to figure those details

325
00:14:15,680 --> 00:14:19,199
out. Um, it's just that's the the path

326
00:14:19,199 --> 00:14:20,880
moving forward. like we don't we don't

327
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,480
have to decide on how we're going to do

328
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,560
that in this meeting, but if it's going

329
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,639
to happen, that's the path forward. Um

330
00:14:28,639 --> 00:14:33,040
and so then it's just a matter of of talking

331
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,160
to people and getting people on the list

332
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,160
um between now and December and seeing

333
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,480
what we get. Um, if we

334
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,760
are still not even close, if if we don't

335
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,399
have enough people that are interested,

336
00:14:48,399 --> 00:14:53,199
if this happens, um, then I I don't

337
00:14:53,199 --> 00:14:54,720
necessarily see a point in moving

338
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,000
forward, especially with no more

339
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:01,920
funding. Um, that's that's one of the biggest things holding us back. Um,

340
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,760
so the offices at the Nobel Place in

341
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,399
Provo, they are really friendly to

342
00:15:06,399 --> 00:15:09,920
schools. um it'll be really equitable.

343
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,839
It would be a lease. So that would be a

344
00:15:11,839 --> 00:15:14,399
starter place for us to get started and

345
00:15:14,399 --> 00:15:16,800
founded. Um and we would be looking for

346
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,480
land

347
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,199
um for a building or a building to buy

348
00:15:21,199 --> 00:15:22,959
in the background in all the things that

349
00:15:22,959 --> 00:15:25,040
we do as soon as we would be able to do

350
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:29,040
that. Um it'll be extremely hard to get

351
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,160
investors for a building like we were

352
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,720
trying to initially since we deferred

353
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,120
due to low enrollment numbers. So

354
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,000
justifying that now is is completely out

355
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,959
of the out of um like there there's no

356
00:15:42,959 --> 00:15:44,560
way that they're going to say for a high

357
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,120
school that that that makes any kind of

358
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:48,240
reasonable sense.

359
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,759
>> So we have to rent. Is that what you're

360
00:15:49,759 --> 00:15:51,519
saying? We need to

361
00:15:51,519 --> 00:15:54,240
>> and so the the office at Nobel Place um

362
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,399
it it actually has a it has a really

363
00:15:56,399 --> 00:15:59,600
beautiful entryway. Um it has a really

364
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,759
great kind of open space with lots of

365
00:16:01,759 --> 00:16:04,720
little um glass offices that look into

366
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,600
it. There's several big rooms um that

367
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:13,360
would be serviceable for classrooms and so we can definitely make it work.

368
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,440
That office building number two where

369
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:19,279
this is has several suites that since

370
00:16:19,279 --> 00:16:21,600
it's the oldest part of the building,

371
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,600
they never have anybody interested in

372
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,480
leasing it. Um and so it would be great

373
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,560
for them to get any kind of renter in it

374
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,440
and would have space for us to expand.

375
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,120
um and they'd be willing to renovate it

376
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,600
to make it work for us um as we move

377
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,160
forward with that. So there's

378
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:42,240
um it's a great place to start out.

379
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:43,839
Um,

380
00:16:43,839 --> 00:16:47,199
I think also in

381
00:16:47,199 --> 00:16:50,639
um moving forward and getting these um

382
00:16:50,639 --> 00:16:53,279
if if we can get enough people on the

383
00:16:53,279 --> 00:16:55,600
seventh and eighth grade list and enough

384
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,759
people in that high school list, I think

385
00:16:59,759 --> 00:17:04,000
we add a waiver to our application to

386
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,319
open with 7 through 12 in the fall of

387
00:17:06,319 --> 00:17:09,120
2027 instead of taking a whole other

388
00:17:09,120 --> 00:17:12,079
year. um

389
00:17:12,079 --> 00:17:14,079
because our name is already out there.

390
00:17:14,079 --> 00:17:15,839
We already have people in the if we have

391
00:17:15,839 --> 00:17:18,720
enough people to fill up those grades.

392
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,720
Um we already have our policies. We

393
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,199
already have our system set up. Um

394
00:17:23,199 --> 00:17:26,079
everything is just kind of on hold. So

395
00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:28,559
um they may not grant it to us, but I

396
00:17:28,559 --> 00:17:31,120
think we go ahead and and ask for that

397
00:17:31,120 --> 00:17:34,559
if by December we get enough names on

398
00:17:34,559 --> 00:17:38,320
the list. um because we present the full

399
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:42,000
application in January or February. Um I

400
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,120
don't know if they've decided which

401
00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:44,400
meeting they're going to put it on this

402
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,720
year and they they've been talking about

403
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,720
moving it from January to February. Um

404
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,320
and so we would know by then if we're

405
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,559
going to go ahead and present the

406
00:17:56,559 --> 00:18:00,640
application for 7 through 12 by then. Um

407
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,840
otherwise we pull the application and we

408
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,200
fold. um would be kind of my

409
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,840
recommendation.

410
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:16,000
Um can um do you know are there people

411
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:20,080
uh there who are willing to work on this

412
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,640
um individually?

413
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,440
I mean, not everything on you, Carol,

414
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,840
but I mean, uh, there's, you know,

415
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,480
flyers to be made. And, you know, one of

416
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:34,799
the things that in that, um, the video I

417
00:18:34,799 --> 00:18:37,280
sent you of Tom, he said that they had

418
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:41,200
12 people and each person had a section

419
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,039
of work to do. They didn't have anybody.

420
00:18:45,039 --> 00:18:47,440
They didn't have a carol. So, they had

421
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,799
everybody doing uh, sort of sections of

422
00:18:50,799 --> 00:18:55,760
what you do. and and I'm not there. So I

423
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,679
would, you know, I would be one of those

424
00:18:57,679 --> 00:18:59,840
people who would go and talk about Wald

425
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,039
of Education to anybody who would

426
00:19:03,039 --> 00:19:07,840
listen. But um is how many of us as

427
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,200
board members can actually work on this?

428
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:12,480
>> Well, so that's what I was wondering.

429
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,720
Could we put that on our agendas to help

430
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,200
you with the marketing during the year?

431
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:18,799
If we're going to still be meeting as a

432
00:19:18,799 --> 00:19:21,039
board, we could all take on

433
00:19:21,039 --> 00:19:23,520
responsibilities and and help with the

434
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,240
with what little we can do, right? Still

435
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:26,640
without

436
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:27,840
>> that would be great. And and we're back

437
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,240
to 100% volunteers like when we started

438
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:31,760
two years ago.

439
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:32,799
>> Yeah.

440
00:19:32,799 --> 00:19:35,039
>> So,

441
00:19:35,039 --> 00:19:37,120
>> I think the board I don't know what else

442
00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:38,240
from more people.

443
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:39,600
>> Yeah. As a board, I don't know what

444
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,280
would be more important for us to do

445
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,760
than that if we're going to try and keep

446
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,760
>> Yes. And it's it's not starting. It

447
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,080
might be back to the beginning, but it's

448
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:49,760
not starting at the beginning.

449
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:50,240
>> No,

450
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,480
>> there's a lot set up. Thank you.

451
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:53,440
>> Yeah,

452
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,799
>> yes, we've we've done a lot.

453
00:19:56,799 --> 00:19:57,200
Praise

454
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:57,600
>> to God.

455
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,400
>> We're l looping back is more the term. I

456
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:01,120
like

457
00:20:01,120 --> 00:20:04,400
>> other volunteers um would also be great.

458
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,640
Talking to other parents and and getting

459
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,320
them involved. That's been a challenge

460
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:12,000
of getting new people to join us. We do

461
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,360
have the teachers um that that we

462
00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:17,039
interviewed and are are interested.

463
00:20:17,039 --> 00:20:19,360
They're still they're waiting. They're

464
00:20:19,360 --> 00:20:22,400
um ready and and I think we might be

465
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,039
able to get some some work out of them

466
00:20:25,039 --> 00:20:28,720
as well. Um so it's just a matter of of

467
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:37,200
clear communication and reaching out and um talking to them about that.

468
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:42,880
Um, so as as far as budget, um, we have

469
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:47,840
no more funding coming in and it's

470
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:52,720
really in a tight spot. Um, they they

471
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,679
did give us revolving loan money. Um,

472
00:20:55,679 --> 00:20:59,360
but if we don't open, we default on it.

473
00:20:59,360 --> 00:21:02,960
So, the position is to

474
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,799
um spend

475
00:21:04,799 --> 00:21:06,960
none of that money.

476
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,240
Um we we used um some of those

477
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,480
additional funds for paying our people

478
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,960
this past spring that got all of our our

479
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,200
work done um to be ready to open. Um so,

480
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,960
we're already if if we call things quits

481
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,679
at any point in this um we're already

482
00:21:25,679 --> 00:21:27,919
defaulting on a portion of that loan.

483
00:21:27,919 --> 00:21:29,120
Um, so as much

484
00:21:29,120 --> 00:21:31,200
>> there way to pause the loan rather than

485
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,120
default on it.

486
00:21:33,120 --> 00:21:35,919
>> So, so right now we haven't been

487
00:21:35,919 --> 00:21:38,880
spending anything else and um, but we've

488
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,720
already spent a portion of it. So if we

489
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,679
don't ever open, so if we don't get the

490
00:21:43,679 --> 00:21:51,840
number of students by December um, then we have to close. There's there's

491
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,000
nothing else and anything that we've

492
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,720
spent out of that money is defaulted.

493
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,320
Um, so as little of that that we can do

494
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:07,190
as possible. Um, because that's

495
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,240
it just gets really difficult for for

496
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:11,520
everybody in the charter world.

497
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,200
>> How much is that?

498
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,720
>> Um, so the initial revolving loan was

499
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,960
200,000 that they granted us. Um, and we

500
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:26,310
currently have 164,548.

501
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:27,760
left over.

502
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:28,640
>> What

503
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,600
>> is that? Is that what we've spent?

504
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,039
>> That's what we have in the bank account

505
00:22:33,039 --> 00:22:33,840
right now.

506
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:34,480
>> Okay.

507
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,440
>> So, we've spent about 40,000.

508
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,039
>> Um about 35

509
00:22:39,039 --> 00:22:40,720
>> 35,000. Okay.

510
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,200
>> Um we are still getting interest on the

511
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,039
account um at about $55 a month. Um so

512
00:22:47,039 --> 00:22:49,440
there's an additional $660

513
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,559
coming in um from that, but it it's not

514
00:22:52,559 --> 00:22:55,440
much, but there is a little bit there.

515
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,840
Um the website, our contract with them

516
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,880
expires this month and um will need to

517
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,480
be paid by the end of the month if we're

518
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,080
going to keep the website as we have it

519
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,200
built. Um

520
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,320
I think if we're going to have a chance

521
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,159
of moving forward, we we really do need

522
00:23:14,159 --> 00:23:18,080
the website. I don't know um if we I I

523
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,760
don't know what options there are if we

524
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,679
um get rid of the website that we've

525
00:23:23,679 --> 00:23:26,240
built. This website also has features

526
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,320
for us to communicate with families. We

527
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,600
have the app um the phone application

528
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,320
for the website ready to send out and

529
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,520
launch to people put on the um website

530
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,039
that they can have it on their phone and

531
00:23:39,039 --> 00:23:41,840
we can push um notifications if they

532
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,400
sign up. So if if we can get people to

533
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,600
get their accounts with our website, um

534
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,880
then we can send out information through

535
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,320
that. Um

536
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,720
>> Oh, I I think we need a website to be

537
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,960
able to have access to the public so

538
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:58,960
they could apply. Otherwise, how would

539
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,080
they apply?

540
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,159
>> We are also set up with the school store

541
00:24:02,159 --> 00:24:03,919
that we can set up a thing for people to

542
00:24:03,919 --> 00:24:06,880
donate and and see if people help us

543
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,760
out. So, we can go ahead and and set

544
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,600
that up and decide how we want to move

545
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:16,159
forward with that. Um, so I think that's

546
00:24:16,159 --> 00:24:23,669
a an expense that we're going to have to do. Carrie,

547
00:24:23,679 --> 00:24:28,559
» sorry, my mouth was full. Um I I wonder

548
00:24:28,559 --> 00:24:31,120
I know that that website is super

549
00:24:31,120 --> 00:24:33,679
wonderful and has a lot of options for

550
00:24:33,679 --> 00:24:37,520
when we're like um in operation.

551
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,360
Do we have the option to do like a

552
00:24:41,360 --> 00:24:44,320
more budget friendly website until we

553
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,279
open or does that do we lose all that

554
00:24:47,279 --> 00:24:48,880
progress that we've

555
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,039
>> done to create that website? I I think

556
00:24:51,039 --> 00:24:52,480
at this point changing to another

557
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,559
website it it loses our brand

558
00:24:54,559 --> 00:24:56,159
continuity. People are used to this

559
00:24:56,159 --> 00:25:00,320
website. They um it we've it invested a

560
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:04,400
lot in getting it set up. Um and and so

561
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:08,159
I I really I think trying to change to

562
00:25:08,159 --> 00:25:10,720
something else would cause more problems

563
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,720
and confusion than anything else. So, I

564
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,480
think, you know,

565
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,840
I I think we just have to to keep the

566
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,559
website live. Um, all of our other

567
00:25:24,559 --> 00:25:27,440
accounts we can put on hold or deferment

568
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,159
or or whatever until we're ready for

569
00:25:30,159 --> 00:25:34,000
them. Um, like the hiring one, we've got

570
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,840
that set up and I'm I'm talking to them

571
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,240
about putting that on pause and and not

572
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,840
paying that until next March. Um,

573
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,760
>> how much does the website cost per

574
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,279
month?

575
00:25:45,279 --> 00:25:46,880
>> It's not per month. It's a yearly

576
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,039
contract for the year. It's $6,000 for

577
00:25:49,039 --> 00:25:51,039
the year, but that includes all of the

578
00:25:51,039 --> 00:25:52,559
communication features. That includes

579
00:25:52,559 --> 00:25:56,559
the um web application. It includes um

580
00:25:56,559 --> 00:26:01,990
their support and training.

581
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,070
TA, do you have a new question?

582
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:10,080
So, I was thinking I was wondering if we

583
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,480
if there are any angels of the school,

584
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:16,240
you know, who could donate. Um,

585
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,960
I think we don't ask for donations until

586
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,080
January if we have the numbers. If we

587
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:23,279
have the numbers and we're moving

588
00:26:23,279 --> 00:26:26,000
forward, um, I do I was able to make

589
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,840
some connections out east when I was out

590
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,520
there for training this summer. Um, and

591
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,320
so I I have several connections that we

592
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,480
can talk to, but if we don't have the

593
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,960
numbers, I don't think there's any point

594
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,440
in trying to get donations.

595
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,720
>> Not even for marketing for um promoting

596
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,200
the, you know, the school.

597
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,200
>> If you know anybody that would be

598
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:50,960
willing to do that, go for it. I'm going

599
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,640
to try and get the donations live as

600
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,240
soon as I can on the website so they can

601
00:26:54,240 --> 00:27:02,400
just go click donate. Um but until we at least break even with that

602
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,000
revolving loan to be able to pay that

603
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,350
back

604
00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:09,760
we need to say something

605
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,039
>> not just donate but to say to to put our

606
00:27:13,039 --> 00:27:15,679
situation for people who would have

607
00:27:15,679 --> 00:27:18,559
sympathy for that you know

608
00:27:18,559 --> 00:27:21,600
>> we'll figure that out Sarah. Mom, I

609
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,200
completely agree with you with keeping a

610
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,240
brand uh continuity across the website.

611
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,000
Um, however, with the status of the

612
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,760
loan, I think that is a potentially

613
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,360
risky situation. Um, I'm not going to

614
00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:36,400
guarantee it, but I'm pretty sure that I

615
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,240
can find someone that would build us a

616
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,000
site that would allow us to have basic

617
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,520
communication.

618
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,320
Um, brand continuity, maintain those

619
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,240
colors, images, anything that is

620
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:47,919
belonging to the school. I understand

621
00:27:47,919 --> 00:27:50,400
that the format um belongs to our

622
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,279
provider um and also help us with our

623
00:27:53,279 --> 00:27:54,880
business side of it too. I don't think

624
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,399
it would be that big of a deal. I'm

625
00:27:56,399 --> 00:27:58,240
pretty sure they'd be willing to do it.

626
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,080
Um

627
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,760
>> I also think my son who's just finishing

628
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:08,559
up his training and all of that would volunteer too to keep

629
00:28:08,559 --> 00:28:11,360
>> There will still be a cost of several

630
00:28:11,360 --> 00:28:15,120
hundred dollars for hosting our domain.

631
00:28:15,120 --> 00:28:17,039
>> Yeah, there is. But there are ways to

632
00:28:17,039 --> 00:28:19,679
decrease that as well. Um because you I

633
00:28:19,679 --> 00:28:24,240
believe you own the domain name, right?

634
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,880
>> I don't understand enough about the

635
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,720
whole thing to know.

636
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,200
>> I think you do. Um if you don't, that's

637
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:32,799
fine. And if you decide not to go this

638
00:28:32,799 --> 00:28:34,240
route, that's fine.

639
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,430
>> Um

640
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:37,919
» let me know.

641
00:28:37,919 --> 00:28:39,600
>> Sarah, did you help with honey? Did you

642
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,559
help with honeycomb's website?

643
00:28:42,559 --> 00:28:44,080
>> So that's what I'm thinking. Yes.

644
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,360
>> No, that's not what I'm planning. Um I

645
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,000
was a I have a degree in engineering but

646
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,919
my husband is really good at this and I

647
00:28:51,919 --> 00:28:54,799
would be asking him. He has uh more than

648
00:28:54,799 --> 00:28:56,720
20 years of experience including

649
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,200
maintain security PCI compliance and all

650
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,000
the necessary frameworks there and he's

651
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:03,840
very good at doing it quickly. I know

652
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:05,919
it's not ideal but if we can't afford to

653
00:29:05,919 --> 00:29:08,480
have a website

654
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,720
he likes me at least most days.

655
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,480
>> So that's what I've noticed. People need

656
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,080
to have a website and they need a

657
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:17,760
location. Those are the two things that

658
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,600
they're looking for all the time.

659
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,320
>> And they, you know, even myself when I

660
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,799
looked up Honeycomb for the first time,

661
00:29:24,799 --> 00:29:26,880
>> Honeycomb Cottage, I wanted to see their

662
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:28,559
website and then I wanted to know where

663
00:29:28,559 --> 00:29:30,799
they were and kind of drive over there.

664
00:29:30,799 --> 00:29:33,039
So that's kind and same with Treeide. I

665
00:29:33,039 --> 00:29:35,440
went over down to Provo with with Scott

666
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,440
to see what the school looked like. So,

667
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,679
if we have a if we have pictures of that

668
00:29:39,679 --> 00:29:41,919
office that are really sweet that we can

669
00:29:41,919 --> 00:29:44,320
create and put them on a website that we

670
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,679
create ourselves. Um, you know, I think

671
00:29:47,679 --> 00:29:49,360
that would be good.

672
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,840
>> Anyway, let's put a tag in that for now.

673
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,200
We can always discuss it more when we go

674
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:54,880
over financials more in detail in a

675
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:55,919
minute.

676
00:29:55,919 --> 00:29:56,240
>> Okay.

677
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,600
>> So, my husband builds websites

678
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:05,679
and he says it's about $200 a year. he believes

679
00:30:05,679 --> 00:30:09,039
>> um to just like pay for a domain. Mhm.

680
00:30:09,039 --> 00:30:11,440
>> So, even though like our website would

681
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,039
not be as fancy and it wouldn't have as

682
00:30:13,039 --> 00:30:15,840
many features as it does now, I think

683
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,399
that we could create something that

684
00:30:18,399 --> 00:30:21,200
would be like we could hire someone or

685
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,520
Sarah's husband could do it or we could

686
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,840
pay someone to create a website that is

687
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:29,679
very functional and good enough for this

688
00:30:29,679 --> 00:30:36,000
>> to sign up interim year, you know, and save a lot of money. Like it doesn't

689
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:41,590
need to cost us $6,000.

690
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,640
I don't know. I think like ideally it

691
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,080
would be great to keep the same one, but

692
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,679
we can still keep a lot of the

693
00:30:49,679 --> 00:30:53,600
colors and the logos and everything. So,

694
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,480
>> it would need to go live in the next two

695
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,320
weeks.

696
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:02,159
>> Let me So, I'm I'm gonna caveat that. um

697
00:31:02,159 --> 00:31:04,240
just with some of my background, we can

698
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,000
definitely have someone build it.

699
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,279
However, whenever you're dealing with

700
00:31:07,279 --> 00:31:09,039
government websites, there is usability

701
00:31:09,039 --> 00:31:10,799
and security measures that you have to

702
00:31:10,799 --> 00:31:12,480
take into consideration and that is not

703
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,360
a light thing. And as much as as a

704
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,279
beginning developer, I could have built

705
00:31:17,279 --> 00:31:19,679
a clone of this website, I cannot

706
00:31:19,679 --> 00:31:21,679
guarantee the security of it. That's why

707
00:31:21,679 --> 00:31:24,640
I'm saying let me talk to my husband who

708
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,520
does financial security and is very very

709
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,679
vested in this and see if it's an

710
00:31:29,679 --> 00:31:32,720
option. Um, I might step away for half a

711
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,039
second, but because he also has some

712
00:31:35,039 --> 00:31:38,640
workloads going on as well, but um,

713
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,559
that's something we can discuss and

714
00:31:40,559 --> 00:31:42,880
consider because if he's not an option,

715
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,799
we need to also consider the security

716
00:31:46,799 --> 00:31:48,559
aspect of it. Luckily, I think we're

717
00:31:48,559 --> 00:31:50,320
only taking family names. We're not

718
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:54,240
storing student data. Is that correct?

719
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:59,039
Um any the forms are all through other

720
00:31:59,039 --> 00:32:00,720
secured sites.

721
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,200
>> Okay. So it's linking to those. Are we

722
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,480
paying a subscription fee for those?

723
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,600
>> No. Well, so the application form is

724
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,519
through scholar which expires at the end

725
00:32:11,519 --> 00:32:12,640
of this month.

726
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:13,039
>> Okay.

727
00:32:13,039 --> 00:32:17,919
>> Um but and and then it's Google forms

728
00:32:17,919 --> 00:32:20,480
>> through our Google workspace that that

729
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:25,120
has been secured. Okay,

730
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:26,720
let's we can go on to the next thing.

731
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,880
I'll see if I can get a hold of him.

732
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:30,880
>> Let's put it on the agenda for next

733
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:31,600
month.

734
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,360
>> Well, we have to make this decision by

735
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,320
the end of the month to continue the

736
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:37,919
>> contract.

737
00:32:37,919 --> 00:32:39,519
>> Do you think they would give us an extra

738
00:32:39,519 --> 00:32:41,200
week to just have it be in the

739
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:42,799
background and turn it back on if we

740
00:32:42,799 --> 00:32:45,360
need to, or what do you think they're

741
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:52,960
>> um I can try and call them tomorrow and see what we can work out. Um,

742
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,399
uh, see if we can get an They were

743
00:32:54,399 --> 00:32:56,880
pretty good to work with us last summer

744
00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:01,039
on on that. So, um, I'll call them

745
00:33:01,039 --> 00:33:02,640
tomorrow and see what I can work out

746
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,200
with them.

747
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,279
>> Maybe at least till December. They could

748
00:33:07,279 --> 00:33:10,080
work out something. I don't know, till

749
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,320
December at least. So, we know.

750
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,320
>> Um,

751
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:15,919
>> I don't know if they would give us until

752
00:33:15,919 --> 00:33:17,440
December.

753
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:21,039
um potentially they'll give us until our

754
00:33:21,039 --> 00:33:24,720
other until our next board meeting.

755
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:25,519
>> Okay.

756
00:33:25,519 --> 00:33:27,360
>> So that we can finalize that decision in

757
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,120
a board meeting. Um just letting them

758
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,600
know this is our situation. Can can you

759
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,840
give us an extension of until the the

760
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:37,840
next board meeting? So okay

761
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:43,269
and then then we'll decide. Um,

762
00:33:43,279 --> 00:33:46,549
so the

763
00:33:46,559 --> 00:33:49,760
so just pairing down minimally

764
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:54,080
everything that that needs to happen.

765
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:58,640
Um, most of the stuff is already set up.

766
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:03,200
Um, so working minimally

767
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,240
between now and December all volunteer

768
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:07,919
and and not paying anything I think is

769
00:34:07,919 --> 00:34:10,960
doable. Um but if we do get those

770
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,440
numbers, we are still on a very tight

771
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,560
budget. Um so the website being a part

772
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,119
of that um bringing frontline back

773
00:34:19,119 --> 00:34:26,960
online um for hiring our teachers and recruiting um employees will be an

774
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:31,599
expense. um having our office available

775
00:34:31,599 --> 00:34:40,159
um having IT support um and and other incidental things. Um I

776
00:34:40,159 --> 00:34:43,040
think Alliance will work with us on the

777
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:47,359
dues um given our situation. Um but if

778
00:34:47,359 --> 00:34:48,960
anybody wants to go to the Alliance

779
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:50,639
conference next January, that would need

780
00:34:50,639 --> 00:34:53,119
to come out of your own pocket. Um, so

781
00:34:53,119 --> 00:34:54,480
if you want to budget for that for

782
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:58,320
yourself, um, I don't remember the cost

783
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,320
online.

784
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:04,720
Um, I I don't remember, but um, I can

785
00:35:04,720 --> 00:35:06,240
look that up for anybody if you want

786
00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:08,640
that information.

787
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,720
>> 250 or something,

788
00:35:10,720 --> 00:35:14,160
>> I think. So, um, it's more in person

789
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:15,680
because there is food and then you would

790
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,440
have to travel. It is going to be at the

791
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,760
same location as it was last year. Um

792
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,200
and then the the online option

793
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:27,119
um we will want to if we get the numbers

794
00:35:27,119 --> 00:35:30,320
that we need and we are opening um next

795
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,520
year or if it's two years if they make

796
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,920
us wait the two years um for the 7th

797
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,680
through 12 um we'll want to budget for

798
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,599
the alliance summer training for our

799
00:35:41,599 --> 00:35:43,839
faculty so they have a good foundation

800
00:35:43,839 --> 00:35:46,160
in understanding public waldorf

801
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:49,119
education. Um,

802
00:35:49,119 --> 00:35:53,200
and I think that was 1,600 for up to 10

803
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:57,200
people. Um, so, so that is an expense

804
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,680
that we'll need to consider. We will, if

805
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:01,280
we do have the numbers and we are moving

806
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,200
forward to open, we will have to hire

807
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,800
people in January. Potentially, we could

808
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,800
start with part-time in January working

809
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,119
on just the enrollment piece.

810
00:36:11,119 --> 00:36:14,000
um most of our faculty is already hired

811
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,640
and so we just let them know we're

812
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,440
moving forward um and and get them back

813
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:23,520
on board and and fill in the gaps. Um

814
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,839
we'll probably need at least one

815
00:36:25,839 --> 00:36:27,599
full-time and probably two full-time

816
00:36:27,599 --> 00:36:31,760
people starting in March. Um and that

817
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:36,640
will be roughly half of of what is

818
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:40,400
currently um in in the bank account. um

819
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,440
to pay for for people. Um that's where

820
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:47,520
the biggest expenses go. Um but if we're

821
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,720
we know we have the numbers in December,

822
00:36:50,720 --> 00:36:52,560
then we can do that. But it it leaves us

823
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,400
about $70,000

824
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,640
for any kind of furniture and

825
00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:00,720
necessities um to start the building in

826
00:37:00,720 --> 00:37:07,200
the fall for um paper and um books and

827
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,760
um desks and chairs and tables and

828
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:14,000
blackboards and and all of those things.

829
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,480
>> Um

830
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,800
>> do you think that is sufficient to be

831
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,359
able to start a school with?

832
00:37:21,359 --> 00:37:24,079
um the budget.

833
00:37:24,079 --> 00:37:29,680
>> Jeff is concerned about it being very tight. Um we are probably

834
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:31,760
absolutely going to have to do some

835
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:36,160
fundraising in in between. Um and desks

836
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,280
are expensive even surplus from from

837
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,160
other places and um the chalkboards are

838
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,960
going to be expensive or or whiteboards

839
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,760
um will be I think whiteboards will be

840
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:51,440
less expensive um and a place to start

841
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:56,240
um but they'll still be an expense. um

842
00:37:56,240 --> 00:37:58,480
printers and copers,

843
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,440
computers for all of the teachers. Um I

844
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,359
think we can put off our student

845
00:38:03,359 --> 00:38:05,839
computers um just because of our our

846
00:38:05,839 --> 00:38:08,320
model. We don't depend on those as much

847
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,720
as others do. Um and if they don't have

848
00:38:10,720 --> 00:38:12,400
them until after Christmas of our first

849
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:13,760
year, I don't think it's the end of the

850
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,400
world. Um

851
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,280
so

852
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,160
um I I don't know. I do know that Jeff

853
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,000
is very concerned about the bottom line

854
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:29,200
there um and and having enough. But if

855
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,520
the the first thing is getting the

856
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,680
students enrolled, I think if we can get

857
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,400
enough students on that list to be able

858
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,040
to move forward, then

859
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,200
um

860
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,359
that's the deciding factor. If if we

861
00:38:43,359 --> 00:38:47,839
can't get enough people to sign up, um

862
00:38:47,839 --> 00:38:50,240
>> how many students?

863
00:38:50,240 --> 00:38:53,990
150 you said

864
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,160
» if mountain sunrise

865
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:56,960
>> right

866
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:58,400
>> 150 by December. Oh

867
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,720
>> okay I will update that.

868
00:39:00,720 --> 00:39:04,400
>> So if if Mountain Sunrise has 60

869
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,520
students coming out of sixth grade

870
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,599
um

871
00:39:09,599 --> 00:39:12,320
then and and if we have an articulation

872
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,320
agreement that they can transfer. Right.

873
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,839
So my my numbers for the seventh grade

874
00:39:17,839 --> 00:39:19,599
is 50 students. that gives it some

875
00:39:19,599 --> 00:39:22,079
competition. Um we'll also be reaching

876
00:39:22,079 --> 00:39:25,200
out to the larger um middle schools,

877
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,680
elementaryaries, and junior highs. Um

878
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,800
but but the the purpose of that is to

879
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:35,280
fill in the gap for the model. Um so

880
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,760
it gives 50 students for us is two

881
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,599
students of two classes of 25. Um and

882
00:39:41,599 --> 00:39:43,839
there's enough competition that if they

883
00:39:43,839 --> 00:39:45,280
really want this, they better sign up

884
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,480
and enroll early. um get their name on

885
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:52,160
the list and secure their spot um

886
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,880
before we open it up to the public. So

887
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:58,720
they would have to do their um so if we

888
00:39:58,720 --> 00:40:01,359
go forward with that we would be working

889
00:40:01,359 --> 00:40:03,040
with Mountain Sunrise on an articulation

890
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:06,400
agreement um and we have so many spots

891
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,920
available um for them to articriculate

892
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,480
and they have a a deadline of January

893
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:16,640
15th. If you don't do this um on time

894
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:18,880
then you can't then you miss your spot

895
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:19,920
and you have to do the regular

896
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:26,870
enrollment process.

897
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:31,680
Um, but that that's

898
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,760
a close session with this meeting.

899
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:35,839
Carol, I was wondering. I don't see it

900
00:40:35,839 --> 00:40:36,640
here on the

901
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,599
>> I don't there is a note about it. I

902
00:40:39,599 --> 00:40:41,520
don't think any of this needs to be in

903
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:42,640
close session.

904
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:46,310
>> Okay.

905
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:50,320
So, but that's the information that I

906
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:54,720
have to for the board to consider.

907
00:40:54,720 --> 00:40:56,640
>> I don't know if we can really consider

908
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,200
things until we get approval next month

909
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,400
about 7th and 8th and 11th and 12th

910
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,800
maybe or 7th and 8th and 11th.

911
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,160
>> So, so we're so we're approved for 9th

912
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:11,520
through 12th. So, however, whatever

913
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,640
configuration we want to start with. Um,

914
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,520
and we're approved to open next fall

915
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:22,160
with 9 through 12. Um, I I don't think

916
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:23,599
in our first year it's going to be

917
00:41:23,599 --> 00:41:26,400
beneficial to enroll seniors, but I

918
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:30,480
think we can enroll 9 through 11. Um, so

919
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,640
we're already

920
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:35,359
prepared for that. So, moving forward,

921
00:41:35,359 --> 00:41:36,800
>> no, I'm talking about the seventh and

922
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:37,839
eighth grade edition.

923
00:41:37,839 --> 00:41:39,040
>> Seventh and eighth grade is the

924
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:40,960
application process. Um,

925
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:42,720
>> and we don't we won't know till next

926
00:41:42,720 --> 00:41:44,160
month on that. Is that what you're

927
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:44,880
saying?

928
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:48,000
>> Well, the proposal doesn't go before the

929
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:49,760
board

930
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:52,400
um

931
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,040
in the August or September board

932
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:56,800
meeting. I think they're going to put it

933
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,480
in the September board meeting is what

934
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,960
they they told us last time, but I can

935
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:02,079
confirm that this week.

936
00:42:02,079 --> 00:42:03,599
>> So, it doesn't seem like we can talk

937
00:42:03,599 --> 00:42:05,200
about the status of the whole school

938
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:06,560
until we know if we're going to be able

939
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,280
to add seventh and eighth graders.

940
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:12,960
We have to have names of we have to have

941
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:14,480
proof

942
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,960
that we will be able to fill up those

943
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,520
grades in order for them to approve that

944
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:21,520
we will have those grades. We have to

945
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:24,240
get people's names on the list if

946
00:42:24,240 --> 00:42:28,710
they're going to approve it.

947
00:42:28,720 --> 00:42:31,680
So, I'm talking about the status of our

948
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:33,920
whole school whether we because you have

949
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,880
a vote to determine the school status

950
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:38,640
and I don't know if we can

951
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:40,960
>> we're not going to do that tonight.

952
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:42,880
>> Well, I would recommend that we do move

953
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:44,800
to a close meeting because there was a

954
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:50,400
conversation um in late June about um

955
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:54,160
the student the loan and potential

956
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:57,119
legal things with that. And so I would

957
00:42:57,119 --> 00:43:00,640
motion that we go into a close uh

958
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:07,430
session to discuss legal issues

959
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,440
» and that's a roll call vote.

960
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,839
>> Okay. Is there someone who could someone

961
00:43:11,839 --> 00:43:14,160
who could second a vote? Oh,

962
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:17,040
>> Suz as since Suzanne I know we should

963
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,359
not be having the public in that since

964
00:43:19,359 --> 00:43:23,119
Suzanne is our um

965
00:43:23,119 --> 00:43:24,960
so we have to answer your question

966
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,119
Suzanne we have at the bottom the notice

967
00:43:27,119 --> 00:43:28,640
that you recommended possible close

968
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,119
session in accordance with the Utah Open

969
00:43:31,119 --> 00:43:33,680
Public Meeting Act for purposes outlined

970
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,640
action close session if needed. Um, I

971
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:38,319
was going to ask if it would be

972
00:43:38,319 --> 00:43:41,040
appropriate to include Suzanne in that

973
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,520
strictly because you are part of our No,

974
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:51,510
it's not Suzanne. Okay, so

975
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:55,280
» Sarah, my audio kind of glitched out as

976
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:58,240
on your last sentence that you said when

977
00:43:58,240 --> 00:44:00,480
you were proposing the close session to

978
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,119
discuss. What was that again? uh legal

979
00:44:03,119 --> 00:44:06,720
issues regarding the um

980
00:44:06,720 --> 00:44:08,319
>> email.

981
00:44:08,319 --> 00:44:09,760
>> Okay, thank you.

982
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,800
>> Do you have this Zoom link on your

983
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,119
public notice?

984
00:44:15,119 --> 00:44:16,079
>> Yes.

985
00:44:16,079 --> 00:44:19,520
>> You will likely want to have a different

986
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:23,280
Zoom link and go to close session.

987
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,280
>> I've been putting them in a breakout

988
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:26,240
room for that

989
00:44:26,240 --> 00:44:28,480
>> leaving. Yeah. And that could happen as

990
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,640
long as you can verify that you won't

991
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,440
have someone showing up in your close

992
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:34,560
session.

993
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:35,440
>> Um,

994
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,160
>> and then you want to leave this meeting

995
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:38,960
running

996
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:39,760
>> Mhm.

997
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:42,800
>> during close session.

998
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:44,640
>> And no one's able to see the breakout

999
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:46,880
rooms with this link.

1000
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:48,160
>> Okay.

1001
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,079
>> Yeah. As long as you can do that so you

1002
00:44:50,079 --> 00:44:52,960
don't have someone else showing up in

1003
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,040
your close session.

1004
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:58,319
>> Right. So I I just assign it manually

1005
00:44:58,319 --> 00:45:01,520
for who gets to come.

1006
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:02,800
>> I think so.

1007
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:08,960
>> And then nobody else can come.

1008
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:09,520
>> Correct.

1009
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:11,040
>> Everybody else stays in the main the

1010
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:12,880
main me in the main room.

1011
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:14,000
>> Yes.

1012
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,160
>> Can I ask a clarifying question before

1013
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,640
we move that is not related to the close

1014
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:20,319
session. I just want to make sure I'm

1015
00:45:20,319 --> 00:45:23,200
keeping up correctly. I thought that we

1016
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,599
had discussed that if we wanted to add

1017
00:45:25,599 --> 00:45:27,200
seventh and eighth grade, it would be a

1018
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,520
two-year process.

1019
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:30,480
>> So, have we?

1020
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,119
>> So, we have submitted the proposal to

1021
00:45:33,119 --> 00:45:36,079
add seventh and eighth grade. They will

1022
00:45:36,079 --> 00:45:39,040
review that in the either August or

1023
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:40,480
September board meeting. I've heard

1024
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:42,160
both.

1025
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:46,960
um once they once they review it um and

1026
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:48,319
make a decision in that board meeting,

1027
00:45:48,319 --> 00:45:50,400
they will either decide go ahead with

1028
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,520
the full application or we we don't

1029
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:56,640
think this is going to work out. So

1030
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:58,880
potentially they approve us and they say

1031
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:00,560
go ahead and do the full application. So

1032
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:02,400
we have until November, December to

1033
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,960
finish the full application generally is

1034
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:07,520
what the timeline is. um that goes

1035
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:09,200
before the January, although they're

1036
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:11,200
talking about moving it to the February

1037
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:16,880
board meeting. I um and so

1038
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:20,720
as a part of that full application, we

1039
00:46:20,720 --> 00:46:23,599
would be including yes, we have enough

1040
00:46:23,599 --> 00:46:28,880
students to fill these seats. Um so as a

1041
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:30,400
part of putting that application

1042
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,280
together um a market analysis is a part

1043
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,680
of it for us to be able to attach to

1044
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,480
that market analysis. We have these many

1045
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,800
families on our petition that say they

1046
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:44,720
are highly unlikely to enroll. Um we

1047
00:46:44,720 --> 00:46:47,119
will start that process in January as

1048
00:46:47,119 --> 00:46:49,839
soon as we get this approved. Right. Um,

1049
00:46:49,839 --> 00:46:52,640
traditionally, if they did approve that

1050
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,200
in January or February, that would start

1051
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:58,000
a clock on a pre-operational year, and

1052
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,040
that would give us a whole other year to

1053
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:02,480
work on enrollment and setting

1054
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,119
everything up again. So, that's the

1055
00:47:05,119 --> 00:47:07,599
timeline that we're currently on if we

1056
00:47:07,599 --> 00:47:10,240
do the 7 through 12.

1057
00:47:10,240 --> 00:47:12,319
I propose that as a part of that

1058
00:47:12,319 --> 00:47:15,520
application as this fall we move through

1059
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:18,720
getting names on our list. If we have

1060
00:47:18,720 --> 00:47:21,920
the names on the list for next fall, we

1061
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,480
already have our 50 students for this

1062
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,640
grade, our 50 students for this grade or

1063
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,119
however many for these other grades. We

1064
00:47:29,119 --> 00:47:31,119
already have all of our system set up.

1065
00:47:31,119 --> 00:47:35,040
We request a waiver to open in the fall

1066
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:37,680
with seventh and eighth grade. That only

1067
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:40,240
works if we have a 100 seventh and

1068
00:47:40,240 --> 00:47:43,040
eighth graders on the list by the end of

1069
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:48,870
December when we submit the application.

1070
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:51,760
» Okay. I'm Thank you so much. I'm sorry

1071
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:53,440
that I I missed that.

1072
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:57,280
>> No, I just I was like so basically we're

1073
00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:59,040
just asking for a waiver of the

1074
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:02,480
pre-operational year if we are prepared.

1075
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,040
>> Okay, great. Thank you so much.

1076
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:08,470
>> Yep.

1077
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:10,079
Okay. I think Sarah, you need to go

1078
00:48:10,079 --> 00:48:12,160

1084
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,559
including the revolving loan.

1085
00:48:24,559 --> 00:48:28,319
>> Do we have someone second? Oh, thank you, Marta.

1086
00:48:28,319 --> 00:48:30,160

00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:04,559
shippers.

1107
00:49:04,559 --> 00:49:05,359

moving to a close session?

1110

>> Could you unmute and say we need to hear

1111
00:49:12,559 --> 00:49:15,280

00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:16,079
>> Yes.

1113
00:49:16,079 --> 00:49:18,800

>> So, we're going to move to a close

1115
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:23,280
session at 9:02. And I'm pausing the

1116
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:26,240
recording.

1117
00:49:26,240 --> 00:49:34,630
>> Recording in progress.

1118
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:37,119
Okay, everybody came in muted, so Susan,

1119
00:49:37,119 --> 00:49:39,760
you'll need to unmute.

1120
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:43,359
>> Just as a moment of notice, we did go

1121
00:49:43,359 --> 00:49:47,760
out of that at 9 or at 8:04,

1122
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:56,150
802, and we're back at 8:28.

1123
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:59,200
» Okay. So, we're um our next on our

1124
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:01,280
agenda is

1125
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:04,319
>> you recap the closed session. We we just

1126
00:50:04,319 --> 00:50:06,160
got out of close session for

1127
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:07,920
>> Sarah, would you recap that for me

1128
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:10,400
because of the legal status of the loan

1129
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:13,119
that I wasn't part of?

1130
00:50:13,119 --> 00:50:16,079
>> We had a discussion about the revolving

1131
00:50:16,079 --> 00:50:19,760
loan and the legal implications of um

1132
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:21,599
what that might mean for our school,

1133
00:50:21,599 --> 00:50:24,160
including discussions about how we

1134
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:26,880
should handle that.

1135
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:29,440
Okay. And on our on our new business

1136
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:32,319
here, we have a vote to determine the

1137
00:50:32,319 --> 00:50:36,240
school status. Are we going to have more

1138
00:50:36,240 --> 00:50:38,480
discussion about that or we going to

1139
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:41,280
have a a motion about that tonight or

1140
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,440
are we just going to have an agreement?

1141
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:44,800
>> I would like to have a little bit more

1142
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:46,480
discussion on that if possible.

1143
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:46,880
>> Okay.

1144
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:50,720
>> Um I have a

1145
00:50:50,720 --> 00:50:52,240
Oh, I can't think of a word. Sorry, I'm

1146
00:50:52,240 --> 00:50:53,920
coming down with something today. Um,

1147
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:55,359
essentially I'm concerned about the

1148
00:50:55,359 --> 00:50:57,599
workload on that. Um, when I first

1149
00:50:57,599 --> 00:50:59,920
joined the board, I was in Utah. I'm

1150
00:50:59,920 --> 00:51:03,680
currently out of state. Um, and there's

1151
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:05,280
a good number of us that are in that

1152
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:08,079
situation as well with Carol going back

1153
00:51:08,079 --> 00:51:10,160
to a full-time position which we all see

1154
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:14,480
as needful. Um, we have to go to those

1155
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:17,200
uh, school previews in the fall and I

1156
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:17,760
don't think

1157
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:19,359
>> most of them are in the evening.

1158
00:51:19,359 --> 00:51:21,359
>> Oh, they are. Yeah, they're not during

1159
00:51:21,359 --> 00:51:22,800
the day because it's parents and

1160
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:24,400
students. Those are preview nights.

1161
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:24,800
Yeah.

1162
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:26,559
>> Okay. Because I was very concerned about

1163
00:51:26,559 --> 00:51:28,000
us not having someone because I know

1164
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:29,839
Susan, you're working. Carrie, you're

1165
00:51:29,839 --> 00:51:31,920
homeschooling. Carol, you're going to be

1166
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:34,640
working. Um making sure that we actually

1167
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:35,760
hit those

1168
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:37,920
>> high school previews are at night. Um

1169
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:40,480
so, and and I don't have a problem

1170
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:42,880
giving up my evenings to go do that. Um

1171
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:44,720
the only thing would be that someone

1172
00:51:44,720 --> 00:51:47,599
might need to cover if there's two

1173
00:51:47,599 --> 00:51:50,559
different ones on the same night. Um,

1174
00:51:50,559 --> 00:51:52,720
and I don't know. I'll keep everybody

1175
00:51:52,720 --> 00:51:54,960
updated on on what on what that calendar

1176
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:57,680
looks like, but um, as long as they're

1177
00:51:57,680 --> 00:51:58,800
not on the same night, I don't have a

1178
00:51:58,800 --> 00:51:59,920
problem doing that.

1179
00:51:59,920 --> 00:52:01,680
>> Okay. I just wanted to make sure that we

1180
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:03,839
can actually make those marketing

1181
00:52:03,839 --> 00:52:05,599
requirements before we make a decision

1182
00:52:05,599 --> 00:52:09,670
on this.

1183
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:12,400
» Carol, would you go by yourself or would

1184
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:15,359
you need someone with you?

1185
00:52:15,359 --> 00:52:18,319
>> I think by myself would be fine. um just

1186
00:52:18,319 --> 00:52:19,760
there at the table and talk to people.

1187
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:21,599
Um if somebody else would like to go

1188
00:52:21,599 --> 00:52:23,280
with me, that would always be helpful, I

1189
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:25,920
think. Um and we can also have our

1190
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:28,400
future teachers invited to those as well

1191
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:30,160
of like I'm going to be the science

1192
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:31,040
teacher, I'm going to be the English

1193
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:32,000
teacher, I'm going to be your history

1194
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:36,559
teacher. Um we we also have that pool um

1195
00:52:36,559 --> 00:52:39,920
to to talk to.

1196
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:43,040
I think um they will be more likely to

1197
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:45,760
give us volunteer hours um than other

1198
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:48,079
people at this moment. Um and there's

1199
00:52:48,079 --> 00:52:50,319
four or five of them that I think um

1200
00:52:50,319 --> 00:52:52,400
would be willing to do that um so that

1201
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:57,910
they can have a job next year.

1202
00:52:57,920 --> 00:52:59,680
So

1203
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:02,400
I wanted to make sure. So in getting our

1204
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,359
numbers for December, we are not only

1205
00:53:05,359 --> 00:53:07,119
getting numbers from our feeder schools,

1206
00:53:07,119 --> 00:53:10,000
but from all of the anyone possible.

1207
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:10,960
Correct.

1208
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:12,720
>> And we're do and all of the high school

1209
00:53:12,720 --> 00:53:16,079
previews are soon, right? Like they're

1210
00:53:16,079 --> 00:53:17,359
in the fall.

1211
00:53:17,359 --> 00:53:19,040
>> Yeah. and and the high school previews

1212
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:20,480
will be specifically for those nth and

1213
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:22,640
tth graders

1214
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:24,319
to fill up those grades because we still

1215
00:53:24,319 --> 00:53:26,720
have to fill up those grades.

1216
00:53:26,720 --> 00:53:29,839
>> Okay. Can we do they do junior high

1217
00:53:29,839 --> 00:53:33,680
previews to fill up seventh um seventh

1218
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:36,000
and eth? Is that an option?

1219
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:37,760
>> Not that I know of. I don't know of any

1220
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:39,680
elementary schools that do that.

1221
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:42,960
>> Do we have another way to market to

1222
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:46,640
different elementary schools?

1223
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:48,480
I don't know. I mean, outside of

1224
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:56,230
reaching out to elementary schools and saying, "Hey, we're an option." So,

1225
00:53:56,240 --> 00:53:58,480
» I mean, I don't mind making flyers to

1226
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:00,480
give out to the kids at the elementary

1227
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:02,079
schools or something like that I could

1228
00:54:02,079 --> 00:54:04,400
do at home. I just in the evenings, I'll

1229
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:07,040
probably be busy babysitting again with

1230
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:10,000
my daughter. So, but I don't mind doing

1231
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,480
things at home on the weekends and

1232
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:15,839
working with uh

1233
00:54:15,839 --> 00:54:17,839
something to hand out to people. We

1234
00:54:17,839 --> 00:54:19,839
could I could even pay for that.

1235
00:54:19,839 --> 00:54:23,910
>> Marta has her hand up.

1236
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:31,510
» You're muted, Marta.

1237
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:34,480
Okay. Um, Susan, you'd probably be the

1238
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:36,160
only one that remembers because you and

1239
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:39,680
I were there the inaugural year of MSA.

1240
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:42,559
How did they get enrollment?

1241
00:54:42,559 --> 00:54:47,510
Do you remember what they did?

1242
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:51,990
» The things that we've been doing

1243
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,640
» community was successful. It's always

1244
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:56,960
successful, especially during COVID, to

1245
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:58,720
have an open school that kids could

1246
00:54:58,720 --> 00:55:01,920
apply and come into and go for a part

1247
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:04,160
day. So, I think that was not hard for

1248
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:05,280
her to open.

1249
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:06,720
>> And they opened in a new neighborhood

1250
00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:08,000
that the district schools were

1251
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:11,040
overflowing. Yes.

1252
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:13,680
>> Different situation. We've we've been

1253
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:14,400
doing all of

1254
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:16,079
>> But I don't remember what marketing

1255
00:55:16,079 --> 00:55:20,079
specifically Carell did. I just I just

1256
00:55:20,079 --> 00:55:21,599
know that we didn't have any trouble

1257
00:55:21,599 --> 00:55:24,720
with enrollment that first year and and

1258
00:55:24,720 --> 00:55:25,280
we can

1259
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:28,559
>> Well, I I say to do the surveys. I'm

1260
00:55:28,559 --> 00:55:32,480
highly in favor of do a service with our

1261
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:34,800
feeder schools

1262
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:38,000
and see if you get

1263
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:40,240
um something set up.

1264
00:55:40,240 --> 00:55:42,000
>> By doing it on Facebook though, we

1265
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:43,839
haven't had much success with that. I'll

1266
00:55:43,839 --> 00:55:48,480
be talking directly to the schools and saying, "Do you mind sending this to

1267
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:51,520
all of your We want as many of these

1268
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:53,680
families." Um I I'll be working with

1269
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:55,920
them specifically. I'll be showing up at

1270
00:55:55,920 --> 00:56:00,000
the schools. Um all all of that. This

1271
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:03,040
will be a um

1272
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:04,640
a big push.

1273
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:07,440
>> I was just gonna ask Susan, since you're

1274
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:09,280
here, are we missing anything obvious

1275
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:10,960
that we should be doing to help with

1276
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:12,960
Suzanne? I'm so sorry.

1277
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:15,680
um with this enrollment.

1278
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:17,440
I just want to make sure you've got more

1279
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:19,680
experience than I do.

1280
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:22,240
>> Yeah, I I think that you're trying to

1281
00:56:22,240 --> 00:56:24,000
pull out all the stops and I think that

1282
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:26,079
that's exactly what you should do. Um

1283
00:56:26,079 --> 00:56:28,559
>> Okay. you know, as Carol and mentioned,

1284
00:56:28,559 --> 00:56:31,520
going to pounding the pavement

1285
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:34,160
>> and uh really trying to get your name

1286
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:35,839
out there. But what was mentioned

1287
00:56:35,839 --> 00:56:38,079
earlier as far as the location is going

1288
00:56:38,079 --> 00:56:39,680
to be critical

1289
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:43,839
>> and um having the website or a website

1290
00:56:43,839 --> 00:56:48,000
that you can have them go to to get more

1291
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,319
information and

1292
00:56:50,319 --> 00:56:53,359
so and fill out the application.

1293
00:56:53,359 --> 00:56:57,910
>> Yeah. Would

1294
00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:00,400
now be a good time to discuss a graceful

1295
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:02,480
way to

1296
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:07,200
beg for more help? Like do we is that

1297
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:11,040
what we could do? I also wanted to ask

1298
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:14,000
are we required to have so many hours

1299
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:15,599
per

1300
00:57:15,599 --> 00:57:18,400
school day by the state? Like is there a

1301
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:21,280
way cuz I know one of the greatest

1302
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:24,480
holdups is that that kids are away from

1303
00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:26,480
their families for a longer time if they

1304
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:28,160
are traveling a longer distance to

1305
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:29,200
school.

1306
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:32,400
>> That is an issue for me. Um I mean I

1307
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:34,640
even think about my kid not coming home

1308
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:38,240
until 4:30 and that's a long day.

1309
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:39,920
>> It's a long day for kids to be away from

1310
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:40,799
home.

1311
00:57:40,799 --> 00:57:42,960
>> So it's

1312
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:43,359
Go ahead.

1313
00:57:43,359 --> 00:57:45,599
>> I'm sorry to interrupt. you have to

1314
00:57:45,599 --> 00:57:50,720
comply with the 990 hours and 180 days

1315
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:52,400
um rule.

1316
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:56,000
>> So both things have to be met and a day

1317
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:58,799
um as long as the day is at a minimum of

1318
00:57:58,799 --> 00:58:02,400
4 hours it can be counted as a day but

1319
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:04,480
you have to also by the end of the

1320
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:07,280
school year they should have attended uh

1321
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:09,839
990 school hours

1322
00:58:09,839 --> 00:58:13,359
>> and 180 school days. I think it's common

1323
00:58:13,359 --> 00:58:15,200
for middle school and high schools to

1324
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:17,040
have longer days for their students. I

1325
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:19,680
mean, all my my children had that in the

1326
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:20,400
public school.

1327
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:21,839
>> It's really difficult to get all of the

1328
00:58:21,839 --> 00:58:24,319
credits required to graduate um with a

1329
00:58:24,319 --> 00:58:27,440
shorter school day.

1330
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:30,000
>> Okay. I was just wondering if there was

1331
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:33,920
any way to trim it a little bit. Um but

1332
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:36,799
then there's absolutely no wiggle room

1333
00:58:36,799 --> 00:58:39,599
for credit recovery and and all of the

1334
00:58:39,599 --> 00:58:41,200
electives.

1335
00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:45,359
>> So, my seventh grader is doing two and a

1336
00:58:45,359 --> 00:58:48,160
half days in person, and from what I

1337
00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:50,559
understand, in this coming school year,

1338
00:58:50,559 --> 00:58:56,480
she'll have like two hours of online um

1339
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:58,000
instruction

1340
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:00,640
two days a week. How are they pulling

1341
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:01,440
that off?

1342
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:03,440
>> Because you've you in order to do that

1343
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:05,200
program, you have to sign a paper that

1344
00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:07,760
you wave the state requirements for all

1345
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:09,680
of that.

1346
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:11,440
No, you just muted yourself, Suzanne.

1347
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:15,839
>> Sorry, I went backwards. Uh, if if the

1348
00:59:15,839 --> 00:59:18,160
instruction is two hours, my guess is

1349
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:21,119
their expectation is that they're doing

1350
00:59:21,119 --> 00:59:24,319
uh school work for an additional two

1351
00:59:24,319 --> 00:59:27,839
hours at minimum to meet that school day

1352
00:59:27,839 --> 00:59:31,200
requirement. And then their other days

1353
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:33,440
would probably be added to it. As far as

1354
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:35,680
hours, again, the the the whole thing is

1355
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:37,440
you have to count your days. You have to

1356
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:39,119
count your hours and make sure you're

1357
00:59:39,119 --> 00:59:41,920
meeting both criteria. Most schools do

1358
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:43,440
not get a waiver.

1359
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:45,359
>> Yeah. At Honeycomb, we have the three

1360
00:59:45,359 --> 00:59:47,440
hours. I mean, three days a week.

1361
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:49,680
>> You're a private honeycomb is private,

1362
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:51,920
>> but we have to they have to sign an an

1363
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:54,160
affidavit that they they're not

1364
00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:57,839
following the state. Um you they're being

1365
00:59:57,839 --> 00:59:59,680
>> We don't have that option as a charter

1366
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:01,119
school to sign.

1367
01:00:01,119 --> 01:00:02,960
>> We don't have that option. No. But I'm

1368
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:06,960
do we have the option to like even like

1369
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:10,480
if they do one hour of school at home a

1370
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:12,319
day and like

1371
01:00:12,319 --> 01:00:16,079
>> so they can be enrolled part-time.

1372
01:00:16,079 --> 01:00:17,119
>> Uhhuh.

1373
01:00:17,119 --> 01:00:19,760
>> But again, they won't get the hours to

1374
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:21,839
graduate. They won't get the credits to

1375
01:00:21,839 --> 01:00:24,079
graduate. I'm just wondering if we can

1376
01:00:24,079 --> 01:00:27,200
work into our schedule like everyone has

1377
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:30,079
some class like we make one of the

1378
01:00:30,079 --> 01:00:31,599
classes that all the students have to

1379
01:00:31,599 --> 01:00:34,960
take like an at home class.

1380
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:36,799
>> Does that make sense?

1381
01:00:36,799 --> 01:00:38,559
>> Even if we were to do a hybrid model

1382
01:00:38,559 --> 01:00:42,319
though, Carrie um and do even if we did

1383
01:00:42,319 --> 01:00:44,400
one day at home and one day at school or

1384
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:46,559
something of that nature to do that we'd

1385
01:00:46,559 --> 01:00:48,160
then have to provide all the students

1386
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:50,240
the computers to do that and that causes

1387
01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:52,319
other financial problems as well. Okay.

1388
01:00:52,319 --> 01:00:54,480
>> So, even if we want to approach that in

1389
01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:56,880
the future and even if our charter would

1390
01:00:56,880 --> 01:00:59,040
allow it, um there's other financial

1391
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:01,040
issues that are going to come up.

1392
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:01,440
>> Okay.

1393
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:03,040
>> The other thing that we're facing as a

1394
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:05,839
high school that everything below 9th

1395
01:01:05,839 --> 01:01:09,520
grade doesn't have to is accreditation.

1396
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:17,280
our classes have to be um accredited and certified for the transcript and and

1397
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:19,839
so they have to have a teacher that has

1398
01:01:19,839 --> 01:01:22,079
credentials to teach that course in

1399
01:01:22,079 --> 01:01:24,079
order for the course to be accredited.

1400
01:01:24,079 --> 01:01:26,960
So unless it's through an accredited

1401
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:30,319
online program, which the state um the

1402
01:01:30,319 --> 01:01:34,000
state online school I what's the acronym

1403
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:36,000
for that Suzanne? I don't remember.

1404
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:37,280
>> SEOP.

1405
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:38,880
>> Yeah, the SEO. the state educational

1406
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:42,319
online state online education program or

1407
01:01:42,319 --> 01:01:43,040
something like that.

1408
01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:45,280
>> Yeah, something like that. Um so that is

1409
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:47,119
an option that students can take a

1410
01:01:47,119 --> 01:01:52,400
course through that. Um and um so there

1411
01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:56,720
are options for for what yes is the

1412
01:01:56,720 --> 01:01:58,799
answer, but they have to be

1413
01:01:58,799 --> 01:02:01,760
>> mind if they're dual enrolled then you

1414
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:04,000
only get credit for half or whatever

1415
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:05,839
percentage of that student that attends

1416
01:02:05,839 --> 01:02:08,000
your school. So that would impact your

1417
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:08,880
funding.

1418
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:12,549
>> Yeah.

1419
01:02:12,559 --> 01:02:16,000
Did that answer your question, Carrie?

1420
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:17,920
>> Yes. I was just hoping there was a

1421
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:20,480
loophole there somewhere because if we

1422
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:22,319
could just like find a way to shave one

1423
01:02:22,319 --> 01:02:24,400
hour off of our day, it would make I

1424
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:26,799
think a big difference.

1425
01:02:26,799 --> 01:02:29,839
>> Um I I think potentially we can and and

1426
01:02:29,839 --> 01:02:32,319
that's just me going back to numbers. Um

1427
01:02:32,319 --> 01:02:35,839
I I don't know that

1428
01:02:35,839 --> 01:02:38,240
um

1429
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:40,480
and and there's always you know case by

1430
01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:43,599
case conversations to to be had but um

1431
01:02:43,599 --> 01:02:47,040
but generally um so we are starting

1432
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:50,880
later um which is why we get out a

1433
01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:54,880
little bit later. Um and if they take I

1434
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:56,400
think potentially they could take that

1435
01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:59,760
last hour of the day off. Um, and this

1436
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:06,720
is something that they even told to the Wasatch families. Um, but that that

1437
01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:08,799
means that you don't have any wiggle

1438
01:03:08,799 --> 01:03:13,349
room for credit recovery.

1439
01:03:13,359 --> 01:03:15,839
» Another suggestion, just as a mom, I

1440
01:03:15,839 --> 01:03:17,359
have a kid that gets home late because

1441
01:03:17,359 --> 01:03:18,799
they take the bus,

1442
01:03:18,799 --> 01:03:20,799
>> but um, that blessed little girl does

1443
01:03:20,799 --> 01:03:22,240
all her homework on the bus. So, when

1444
01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:24,160
she gets home, she's free. And if

1445
01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:25,599
they're all riding the bus or the front

1446
01:03:25,599 --> 01:03:27,760
runner together, tell them to do their

1447
01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:29,520
homework. And then it's pure freedom

1448
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:30,720
after that.

1449
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:33,280
>> And and that that time on the train

1450
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:35,039
could be a workstation for an older

1451
01:03:35,039 --> 01:03:36,400
student to tutor the younger kids and

1452
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:37,599
their homework on the on the

1453
01:03:37,599 --> 01:03:39,839
transportation. Like our our model

1454
01:03:39,839 --> 01:03:42,880
figures in things to make that time

1455
01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:46,720
effective. Um that's kind of what I was

1456
01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:49,359
asking. Can we use that that

1457
01:03:49,359 --> 01:03:51,520
transportation time for their worked

1458
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:54,480
hours or for a some random credit or

1459
01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:59,039
like is there a way to just add that?

1460
01:03:59,039 --> 01:04:01,039
>> No, because it has to be guided by the

1461
01:04:01,039 --> 01:04:02,240
teachers

1462
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:04,240
>> because it has to be accredited. There's

1463
01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:06,400
very strict rules about accreditation.

1464
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:09,039
So, we can do things on that drive home

1465
01:04:09,039 --> 01:04:11,599
to essentially offset some of their

1466
01:04:11,599 --> 01:04:12,960
stuff. It's kind of like if I could have

1467
01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:15,039
him do the dishes before he got home so

1468
01:04:15,039 --> 01:04:16,160
he doesn't have to do his chores

1469
01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:17,760
afterwards, but it has to be out of

1470
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:19,839
school things. And yes, I know you can't

1471
01:04:19,839 --> 01:04:21,520
do dishes on the front runner, but it's

1472
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:22,960
has to be an equivalent thing that you

1473
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:26,559
would do at home.

1474
01:04:26,559 --> 01:04:35,510
>> Okay. Thanks, guys.

1475
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:37,520
So, I think the question we've been

1476
01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:42,400
discussing is is um our our options

1477
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:44,720
moving forward to continue with our our

1478
01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:46,799
plan and try and get the numbers until

1479
01:04:46,799 --> 01:04:49,829
December.

1480
01:04:49,839 --> 01:04:51,760
» So, we were going to discuss a graceful

1481
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:56,150
way to beg for help.

1482
01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:58,400
Well, I think we can do that, you know,

1483
01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:00,400
at other board meetings, but we have a

1484
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:03,200
plan right now to try and get

1485
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:06,160
um a petition started at all of those

1486
01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:07,680
schools in September.

1487
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:09,200
>> Um to to kind of answer that a little

1488
01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:11,119
bit, Carrie, I think, you know, the

1489
01:05:11,119 --> 01:05:13,039
first thing is are you planning on

1490
01:05:13,039 --> 01:05:14,640
enrolling your student? Here's the

1491
01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:16,640
information you need. How likely are you

1492
01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:18,960
to enroll? Those that say, I'm highly

1493
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:20,799
likely to enroll. I'm planning on it. I

1494
01:05:20,799 --> 01:05:23,440
want to come. Then we reach out to just

1495
01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:26,559
those families and say, "We see you. We

1496
01:05:26,559 --> 01:05:28,319
hear you. We know you're interested. If

1497
01:05:28,319 --> 01:05:30,319
you want this to happen, we need help.

1498
01:05:30,319 --> 01:05:31,839
Here's three things you can do to help

1499
01:05:31,839 --> 01:05:34,319
us. Which one do you want to do?" Right?

1500
01:05:34,319 --> 01:05:36,640
Like it doesn't do any good to blast

1501
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:38,640
that to everybody because then it gets

1502
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:40,640
lost and everybody assumes that someone

1503
01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:43,280
else is doing it. But if we can

1504
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:45,680
personalize that list, then we're not

1505
01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:46,880
bugging the people that aren't

1506
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:48,480
interested in enrolling anyway. If they

1507
01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:49,839
say, "I'm not interested in enrolling.

1508
01:05:49,839 --> 01:05:51,760
I'm not filling out the survey to give

1509
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:54,640
you my contact information. Right. Then

1510
01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:58,470
um

1511
01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:00,960
then then that's contacts that we don't

1512
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:04,319
have to waste if that makes sense.

1513
01:06:04,319 --> 01:06:10,390
Yes, I think that's very wise.

1514
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:16,319
So maybe we can dis that like would now be a good time to discuss like

1515
01:06:16,319 --> 01:06:19,200
the actual things we can ask those

1516
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:21,599
contacts to do

1517
01:06:21,599 --> 01:06:24,079
>> would be helpful at this board meeting

1518
01:06:24,079 --> 01:06:25,680
or in our September board meeting.

1519
01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:27,680
>> I think our board meeting

1520
01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:30,079
I think we need to have a a closure to

1521
01:06:30,079 --> 01:06:32,559
this discussion or move the discussion

1522
01:06:32,559 --> 01:06:36,079
to our next board meeting. So, so I

1523
01:06:36,079 --> 01:06:38,480
think I think it would be worth stating

1524
01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:42,960
officially um the the decision. So, uh

1525
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:44,880
if board members

1526
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:46,799
>> help me word that, Sarah, so we could

1527
01:06:46,799 --> 01:06:49,280
make a motion on it or Yeah.

1528
01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:51,280
>> What what is the consensus of the board

1529
01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:55,680
right now on closing moving forward our

1530
01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:59,039
status? Well, I I'm under the impression

1531
01:06:59,039 --> 01:07:00,799
because we've discussed the potential of

1532
01:07:00,799 --> 01:07:03,039
closing and we did have on thing go

1533
01:07:03,039 --> 01:07:05,599
discussing the process of closing, but I

1534
01:07:05,599 --> 01:07:07,280
think that is not the mood of the board.

1535
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:08,319
So, if that's something we need to

1536
01:07:08,319 --> 01:07:10,640
discuss, let's discuss it. But if we

1537
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:12,799
aren't going to change the status of the

1538
01:07:12,799 --> 01:07:14,160
school and we're going to continue to

1539
01:07:14,160 --> 01:07:16,000
defer, I don't think we need to vote, do

1540
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:18,160
we, Carol?

1541
01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:20,160
business.

1542
01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:24,960
>> Well, so I mean I guess no if we're just

1543
01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:27,280
going to continue with uh we're planning

1544
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:30,000
on opening next fall and and moving

1545
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:34,240
forward. I think yeah, I mean like we

1546
01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:40,480
our our plan and action is to get the

1547
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:42,480
numbers by December

1548
01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:45,280
>> by December if possible. Yes. I I I

1549
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:46,480
don't know that anything else needs to

1550
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:48,400
be unless the board wants to put a

1551
01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:50,559
contention in right now of we're we're

1552
01:07:50,559 --> 01:07:54,000
planning on moving towards um those

1553
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:56,960
numbers by December and if we don't have

1554
01:07:56,960 --> 01:07:59,520
it by December we've already made the

1555
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:01,359
decision if the board has already made

1556
01:08:01,359 --> 01:08:02,880
the decision that if we don't have those

1557
01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:05,039
numbers that's when we make the decision

1558
01:08:05,039 --> 01:08:09,200
to close um and not continue with the 7

1559
01:08:09,200 --> 01:08:12,160
through2 application right like

1560
01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:14,240
>> if you want to preemptively make that

1561
01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:17,040
decision so that it's

1562
01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:18,719
>> look I think we could wait on it. I

1563
01:08:18,719 --> 01:08:20,080
think it's better to wait to see what

1564
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:22,319
the state says and you know what the

1565
01:08:22,319 --> 01:08:24,640
what they're asking of us and how things

1566
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:29,430
are going with that seventh and ethic.

1567
01:08:29,440 --> 01:08:32,319
So maybe we don't need a motion

1568
01:08:32,319 --> 01:08:33,920
uh regarding the status of the school

1569
01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:35,759
because we're just continuing them the

1570
01:08:35,759 --> 01:08:38,319
status of right of what we're doing now.

1571
01:08:38,319 --> 01:08:38,960
>> Yeah, we're not

1572
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:40,719
>> and we'll motion to have another board

1573
01:08:40,719 --> 01:08:44,480
meeting in you know in September does

1574
01:08:44,480 --> 01:08:47,279
need I I would suggest um going ahead

1575
01:08:47,279 --> 01:08:51,199
and deciding on this year's

1576
01:08:51,199 --> 01:08:52,719
>> meetings.

1577
01:08:52,719 --> 01:08:55,040
Um

1578
01:08:55,040 --> 01:08:56,080
>> Oh, for the Yeah,

1579
01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:59,279
>> go ahead and set schedule now. Yeah.

1580
01:08:59,279 --> 01:09:00,960
>> Didn't we do that at the board retreat

1581
01:09:00,960 --> 01:09:02,799
though? It's the first Tuesday of the

1582
01:09:02,799 --> 01:09:03,759
month with the exception.

1583
01:09:03,759 --> 01:09:05,600
>> We did. Yeah, we did that already at the

1584
01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:06,319
retreat.

1585
01:09:06,319 --> 01:09:08,080
>> It Well, it was tentatively discussed,

1586
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:10,319
but every I I would suggest everybody

1587
01:09:10,319 --> 01:09:14,239
look at your calendar and make sure that works.

1588
01:09:14,239 --> 01:09:15,839
Well, I think it's the best that we can

1589
01:09:15,839 --> 01:09:18,400
find. It seems Tuesday is still the best

1590
01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:20,080
night for everyone.

1591
01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:22,159
>> September 1st.

1592
01:09:22,159 --> 01:09:25,440
>> So, September 1st was the next t first

1593
01:09:25,440 --> 01:09:26,480
Tuesday.

1594
01:09:26,480 --> 01:09:26,719
>> Yeah.

1595
01:09:26,719 --> 01:09:28,880
>> And that's the day right after Labor

1596
01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:31,279
Day.

1597
01:09:31,279 --> 01:09:33,040
>> No. Well, oh, September.

1598
01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:35,679
>> No, Labor Day is later this year. Yeah.

1599
01:09:35,679 --> 01:09:39,120
September 1st is okay.

1600
01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:42,000
Um, and then

1601
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:48,070
6

1602
01:09:48,080 --> 01:09:49,839
» and

1603
01:09:49,839 --> 01:09:51,520
>> well, we've got that we've got that

1604
01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:53,759
listed already on one of our agendas for

1605
01:09:53,759 --> 01:09:55,120
the 14th.

1606
01:09:55,120 --> 01:10:00,550
>> November 3rd is election night.

1607
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:02,320
» I think it would put that.

1608
01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:04,239
>> We talked about that too at our meeting
